Chapter 114: The Disappearing Hong Jinglong
The sudden appearance of the figure scared me into a tremble, and if I hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the rope with my arm again, I am afraid I would have fallen.
After reacting, I turned my head to look down again, this is really not my illusion, I saw that at the bottom of the burial ditch that can be seen faintly, I can indeed see a figure standing on the pile of bones and looking at me with a smile, his clothes are very tattered, his waist is also slightly rickety, and behind him, he actually carries a bronze ancient knife!
When he noticed that I was looking at him, he actually grinned at me, but this smile was a bit excessive, the corners of his mouth were already under the root of his ears, and a third of his whole face was occupied by this big mouth.
Looking at his expression, it seems like he is waiting for me to fall, and then a knife will kill me!
"There's someone under the burial ditch! Someone! The missing knife in the ear chamber is on him! ”
I clung to the rope and shouted heartbreakingly, I felt the sweat behind my back like running water desperately crowded out, in less than a few seconds it had completely soaked my back, the wind in the funeral ditch blew, the rope swayed, my back was cold, and a small heart was swaying with the rope.
As soon as I shouted this sentence, the fat man reacted the fastest, and had already hit the flashlight on the pile of bones, now I could see clearly, the pile of bones stood on a ragged person, his hair was gray, his face was wrinkled, after feeling the flashlight, he raised his head almost at the same time and grinned at the source of the light, his mouth tore and developed a silent roar, and then slowly withdrew his gaze, turned his head and jumped forward, his body already looked old, But the speed of this sudden eruption was really fast, and below was obviously a messy area of white bones, but he seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, and between a few ups and downs, he ran silently into the distance.
The fat man kept using a flashlight to shoot a light source and chased straight after the man's back, his face was full of horror, and he muttered in his mouth: "This ...... What the hell is this? Obviously, it looks like it falls down as soon as the wind blows, why is it running faster than a rabbit? Is this human? ”
Under the "encouragement" of this strange figure, my speed is getting faster and faster, and when the fat man mutters that I have climbed to the opposite side, at this time I realized that my legs are soft, and the cold sweat on my face has been flowing down continuously, the little demon hurriedly came to my side in two steps and helped me up, I wiped the sweat on my forehead, and shouted to the fat man: "You don't ink, get here!" It's not safe to be a place of wrong, so let's get out of here. ”
The fat man muttered, "Where is there a safe place in this pheasant grave, where can we go if we leave?" ”
I was about to answer, but the little demon bumped my shoulder and whispered, "Old Tang, I see this Hong Jinglong's emotions...... Something is wrong! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly turned my head to look at Hong Jinglong, only to see that his face was surprisingly pale, his body kept trembling slightly, and even his hands were subconsciously clenched together, and for the first time, I read in his eyes so many complex expressions of fear, confusion, nervousness and even a little bit of joy.
"What's wrong?" I asked Hong Jinglong softly.
Hong Jinglong stared blankly ahead, and then his lips moved for a long time, and he spit out five words like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "Xu Baolin...... Professor! ”
I felt the hairs on my back stand on end, and I stammered, "You say...... You say that person is...... Professor Xu Baolin?! ”
How is this possible?! Professor Xu Baolin had obviously died four years ago, how could he have appeared in this place again? And it's such a weird place as a burial ditch.
A professor who has been dead for four years suddenly comes back to life in the funeral ditch, and his posture is still so weird, this ...... This directly confused my whole person!
Hong Jinglong didn't answer my words, but raised his head to stare at the fat man opposite, and said sharply: "Come here!" ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted to the urgency of the matter, and directly climbed over with his hands and feet along this rope, he was more useful than me at this time, and the distance of more than four meters climbed over in less than two minutes!
"What are we going to do?" I had no choice but to ask Hong Jinglong for help, "Do you want to leave here now?" ”
"You guys are waiting for me here, if I don't come back in half an hour, you will go directly to the Bronze Temple, Professor Xu Baolin is my inner demon, I must find out the truth of this matter!"
Hong Jinglong took a deep breath, and then pulled out the moire steel knife directly from my waist and bit it in his mouth, and then with a flick of his wrist, the strong brawn directly shook off the end of the mountaineering rope fixed on the opposite bank.
Then he strengthened the fixing point on the side of the burial ditch a little, and without waiting for us to speak, he directly untied the package behind him and threw it to me, carrying only the thin black strip and the bronze knife along the rope.
The little demon frowned anxiously, and wanted to stop it, but I stopped him, I know the horror of this kind of heart knot best, but the reason why I took the initiative to come to this pheasant tomb to be born and die is because of the mysterious woman who has been pestering me in the nightmare, if it weren't for this heart knot that has been pestering me, the fool came to this kind of place!
Professor Xu Baolin's matter, of course, is a knot that has been entwining with him for Hong Jinglong, and if he wants to solve this matter now, we should not stop him no matter what.
Hong Jinglong was agile, and he went down the rope in a few seconds, and the pile of white bones was not an easy route for him to take, but he was in a hurry, and when he encountered a smaller white bone stubble, he jumped over, and when he encountered a larger one, he directly swung his knife to cut off the white bones, and chased after the suspected Professor Xu Baolin's back in a straight line.
The three of us waited suspiciously for two hours next to the burial ditch, but Hong Jinglong never came back, and we didn't see any other living creatures except Professor Xu Baolin.
"What should we do, Old Tang, should we go, or continue to wait here?" The fat man's flashlight took a closer look at the burial ditch, and when he found nothing, he turned around and asked me.
I sat next to the burial ditch and pondered for a few minutes, and then said while pondering: "You think, the words that Lao Hong left for us when he left were to say, let us wait for him for half an hour, that is to say, what he means is that if he can handle this matter properly, he can also handle it within half an hour, if it is not handled well in half an hour, that is, it cannot be handled in a short time, we have been waiting here for more than two hours, and Hong Jinglong still has not returned, which means that it ...... He's in big trouble, and it's likely that it won't be solved in a short time. ”
The little demon stood up and looked at us and said: "Old Tang is right, since Hong Jinglong can't come back within these two hours, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer, don't forget, there is still a team of the Tong family around us, there is only one bronze temple, but there are two groups of tomb robbers, if we really want to go to this bronze temple, then we must always be vigilant against the Tong family, and if we wait here, I am afraid that not only can we not wait for Hong Jinglong, but also not wait for a minute, the Tong family will have one more possibility of grabbing ahead of us." ”
I stood up and made a ruthless decision: "Let's go!" ”
The fat man picked up the package on the ground and carried it, and the little demon also picked up a small package and carried it, I looked at the things in the package behind me, there are still a lot of dried salted fish, but there is not much drinking water, mainly because we don't have much water on our back, so the water on our back is naturally limited.
Wait here any longer, our supplies will be depleted more and more, but progress is getting further and further behind, and no matter what lies ahead, we will have to grit our teeth and go forward.
The fat man and the little demon have always agreed unreservedly with my decision, after hearing me say go, the two have already taken the package and started to set off, the moire steel knife was taken by Hong Jinglong to cut bones, the only cold weapon I can use for self-defense is this bronze ancient knife, and the bronze ancient knife is the key thing that Hong Jinglong emphasizes the most, I naturally have to grasp this ancient knife, the scabbard has been a few steps can not be used, I am afraid that the critical moment of use can not be pulled out, so I simply threw away the scabbard, Only pin this bronze ancient knife to the right side of his waist, so that he can directly pull it out when he uses it.
Walking forward from the side of the burial ditch, the tomb road is becoming more and more spacious, it can almost accommodate three carriages in parallel, it is five or six meters high, it is arched, whether it is the vault or the foot, it is no longer the bluestone slab turning, but the huge stones of pure black, these stones are built extremely neatly, the black is emanating from the inside to the outside, and the copper juice and molten iron are poured between the stones and the stones, not to mention moving, even a needle can not be inserted.
I reached out and touched the stones around me, the surface is full of floating dust, thick enough half a centimeter, but under these floating dust, the touch is extremely cold and smooth, I stopped to clean up the floating dust on a small and not small stone, carefully touched every inch of the surface of the stone with my hand, and sure enough, in the lower right corner I touched a line of dense small characters, although it has been washed over thousands of years, this line of small characters is still not a little blurred, think about it, this stone itself is a special material, this thousand years have passed is still smooth and cold, If there is no change, the words on the stone will definitely be fine.
I put the flashlight close to the line of small characters and looked at them intently, but although the small characters were still clear, they were all ancient characters, and I could only see a few words with wide eyes: "Group A...... No. 2 ...... Wang ...... "Something, it must be the craftsman of this line of black stone buildings."
Smack-
Suddenly, a soft sound startled me, and I looked at it, and the flashlight was too close just now, and it was sucked into the black stone with a snap, and I pulled it twice hard before pulling it off.
The fat man and I looked at each other, and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the Bronze Temple, and the stones around here are already pure natural magnets. ”
I patted the bronze ancient knife on my waist, frowned and thought, "Maybe...... Hong Jinglong just wanted to fight against the magnet in it, so he spent so much effort to get these four bronze ancient knives for us. ”
The little demon also smiled on the side: "It seems that there are more and more secrets on this Hong Jinglong......
