Chapter 41 The natural disaster of treasure hunting, the theft of the yellow shirt and the letter
When I heard Beichen's voice, I was overjoyed. Just as he was trying to tell them to watch out for the bats, there seemed to be some kind of prohibition at the exit, and all the bats swirled in the passage, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"Brother Long, are you okay, you were worried about me just now." Xiao Fan anxiously rushed forward, patted the dust on my body, carefully checked if I was injured, I smiled and said it was okay, rest assured.
"Yinan, why are you here, your injuries are healed?" I was overjoyed and blurted out.
Xiao Fan frowned, "Injury? Okami is hurt? Brother Long, why didn't you tell me. He pinched me hard as he spoke.
I only inhaled cold air in pain, "Don't pinch, it hurts." I'm not afraid you're worried, no, standing in front of us intact. I laughed.
Xiao Fan gave me another blank look, and I hurriedly asked, "Yinan, how do you know that we are here?" After speaking, he immediately felt that he was asking a bit of an idiot, with Beichen's means, it was not easy to find us.
Beichen glanced at me and asked lightly, "What kind of place is this?" ”
I told him in detail about the series of things that happened after he was injured, and when it came to the bull's head mark on the stone statue of Chiyou and the yellow shirt man's clothes, a cold light flashed in Beichen's eyes, and it seemed that he should have a certain understanding of those people.
"Go get something first, follow me." After Beichen finished speaking, he walked directly towards the passage marked with "star".
We followed him into the passage, and we didn't trigger any mechanism all the way, and I humbly asked, "Yi Nan, what is the specific way to move this three-light array, how do you know to take this one?" ”
Beichen replied as he walked: "It's the ugly time, the fire horse at noon, the wooden rabbit at noon, the ugly golden bull of the stars, and the others are the door of death." ”
My eyes widened when I heard this, "It's just this, it's that simple?" ”
Beichen turned his head to look at me, as if to say: Otherwise. It made me and Xiaofan embarrassed for a while, but I still sighed secretly in my heart, the road is simple, and we must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Walking out of the passage, a secret room appeared in front of him, and a gear-like object with a diameter of about twenty centimeters was placed on a square platform in the middle.
There are also murals painted around the room, and when we look closely, the murals are still clear and normal because they have been sealed underground for many years. The painting is about an ancient war. It is to the effect that in ancient times two tribes were at war, and at first the two sides were evenly matched, but then one of the clan leaders took out a round gear-shaped object, which seemed to have some mysterious power, and in an instant the sand and rocks flew away, causing a violent storm, and the other tribe suffered heavy casualties.
We saw the tribal leader holding a gear-like object, tall with two horns on his head and two wings on his back. Could it be that this thing has something to do with Chiyou?
"Wind and rain gathering spirit ring, take it off first." Beichen's eyes flashed with a fleeting cold light.
I slowly leaned up, holding the "Wind and Rain Gathering Spirit Ring" with both hands, and found that the green jade polished ring was crystal clear throughout, and there seemed to be liquid flowing inside, and from different angles, the liquid would form the shape of different animals such as birds and cows. Not to mention the mysterious power of this jade ring, even if it is an ordinary jade, it is already a priceless treasure.
At the moment when Yuhuan left the square platform, he only felt the sound of thunder and lightning overhead, and a line of words appeared on the square platform: Yuhuan is gone, the rain and the wind are blowing, the people are in trouble, and they are homeless.
"What should come will come, let's go." Beichen whispered.
I glanced at him, "Yi Nan, nothing will happen, right?" He didn't reply and walked straight out.
We left the underground palace and returned to the courtyard, only to see the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the sound of huge waves crashing on the island embankment came from the originally calm river. All this seems to indicate that a natural disaster is coming.
The old monk was already waiting for the courtyard with all his disciples, and when he saw us coming out, he folded his hands and said, "When a natural disaster comes, all living beings are suffering. Hurry up and get out of here, we'll try to deal with the aftermath and minimize the damage caused by the disaster. ”
The old monk Beichen Chong gestured slightly, and quickly left the temple with the two of us. I asked him where he was going next, and Beichen looked at the sky in the distance and said that he would leave here overnight and go to the place agreed with the man in the yellow shirt.
In order to hide people's eyes, we directly chartered a car and went to the destination day and night. At dusk the next day, the car was entering a bend in the highway, and there were two people lying on the ground in front of him, and the driver hurriedly braked suddenly.
", who's this, why don't you lie on the ground and look for death." The driver scolded and got out of the car to check, and when he got closer, the two people underground actually jumped up and beat the driver violently.
I saw that the situation was wrong, so I and Xiaofan hurriedly got out of the car to help. Just as they wanted to ask, the two men directly took out their machetes and attacked us, making a deadly move, leaving no room for error. My heart was on fire, and I cursed secretly, and rushed up to fight with them.
What is surprising is that their sword skills are strange, and their body shapes seem to be in a certain formation, and we can't even take them down for a while. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind us, and we were all stunned at the same time, it turned out that Beichen kicked the car door away, and the whole person got out of the car very quickly and chased back.
That's when I realized that I had been fooled. was about to take down the two people in front of him with all his might, but unexpectedly, taking advantage of this stunned effort, the two also rushed to the mountains and forests on both sides and quickly escaped.
I turned my head to greet the driver, but the driver was gone. I hurriedly ran to the back of the car to take a look, and sure enough, the trunk was wide open, and my backpack was missing. I patted the lid of the car with hatred, and it seemed that I was being targeted.
Beichen turned back from the forest, holding my rucksack in his hand, I took it, and asked as I looked through it, "What about people?" What do you think? ”
Beichen shook his head and replied, "The jade ring is gone." After speaking, he took out a letter, "For you." ”
I was a little frustrated, and Xiaofan comforted me a few times. I took the letter and opened it, and my eyes lit up, it was left to us by the man in the yellow shirt. The letter reads as follows:
"Mr. Long: When you read this letter, several of your friends should have returned safely, and all your belongings have been returned. As for the item we want, it is called the "Wind and Rain Gathering Spirit Ring", I believe you must already know something, and know that it may have a certain connection with the God of War Chiyou. You must have a lot of questions through this period of contact, but I can't talk to you too much about it for the time being.
What I can tell you is that there is more than one such thing as the "Wind and Rain Gathering Ring", and I hope you will keep your promise and not refuse when we need your help to find them, otherwise something unpleasant may happen, which you and I do not want to see. We will also keep an eye on what happens to you, at least for now, you will not be able to get rid of us.
Finally, there is one more thing to warn you, your search for the "Three Kings Sword" is no longer a big secret, many forces at home and abroad are staring at you, the reason why you are not doing it now, one is that you want to eat ready-made, and the other is because of your special identity, plus your friend is too difficult to deal with, they are all mercenary, I hope you will do it yourself.
There are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are no permanent friends, at least not for now, are we? There will be a period later. ”
After reading it, I handed the letter to Xiao Fan and asked Beichen: "Yinan, who are they, do you know?" ”
"It's hard to say right now." Beichen still looked calm.
"How much do you know about me? How do I feel that a lot of people know it, but I don't know it myself, and it's a very uncomfortable feeling, you know? I said a little irritablely.
Beichen patted his shoulder comfortingly, "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that it may not be useful." Only when you awaken yourself can you truly understand your mission. ”
Every time Beichen can give people a sense of security to carry a mountain, I will not have any doubts about him. Hearing him say this, I had to endure again, hoping to reach the awakening he said sooner. Growing up, I have never wondered who I am and what kind of mission I am shouldering as much as I do now.
I asked Xiao Fan to contact them and learned that they had returned to the Zhang family's ancestral home safely, and everything including Tai Chi Yin Jue had been brought back. In this case, we decided to return as soon as possible and unravel the clues in the Yin Yang Jade Jue as soon as possible.
I looked at the car and said with a smile that since the driver didn't even want the car, we would drive to the nearest town and change the means of transportation. Beichen's injury was just right, so he rested more in the back row first.
I was about to start the car when it was raining heavily and the wind was blowing from time to time, so we had to take shelter in the car. The voice of glasses came from the communicator: "Xiaolong, I heard that there was a super storm over there, are you all right?" ”
"We're fine, it's just that the rain is a bit heavy, and we guess we won't be back until later. What's the deal with a super storm? I asked.
"You turn on the radio in the car and listen to it." The glasses replied.
I turned on the car radio and learned that not long after we left yesterday, a "super storm" formed on the sea surface suddenly changed course and raged all the way, sweeping through the five southeastern provinces of China, and the violent storm caused heavy casualties and property losses.
I have a faint feeling that this catastrophe is inseparable from that jade ring. If that's the case, then what we've done this time has really done a great sin, I seem to hear Beichen, who was sitting in the back row, sigh softly.
It was only later that we learned that the damage caused by the "super storm" was far beyond our imagination, with more than 8 million people actually affected and nearly 7 billion direct economic losses.
Then there were a few other messages on the radio, one of which aroused some interest to us, saying that in a certain mountain, two herb pickers fell into a deep pit, and found many bones of large animals in it, and said that they saw a huge monster inside, and the eyes were still black and white.
I sat in the car, smiled wryly and shook my head, "There are so many strange things these days, and you can even meet monsters when you go up the mountain to collect medicine." "Unexpectedly, this so-called monster news has directly affected our subsequent thrilling journey.
