I also said, "Yes, Mo Zhanchen has confirmed it." Besides, it's not us who put a knife around their necks and let them carry it to the entrance. They took the initiative to bring it up, I really don't want to go, it's a big deal, and I cheated to death? ”

"It's possible that they found something wrong, so they made an impromptu decision." Kong Xian guessed like this, but in fact, looking at his expression, he was a little unsure.

"Why do you think they're cheating? And not really went wrong. I asked.

Mo Ranchen said: "I really can't find any of their vital features, and I can't find the cause of death, but the corpse still has some residual warmth and is not stiff." If you find the right way, maybe it's not completely impossible. ”

Kong Xian nodded and said, "Well, I found that there was a pot of charcoal fire for heating in Kong Ze's room, which was doused with the tea on the table, and there were some sparks that were not extinguished, apparently the tea was poured not long before we went in." If someone were going to kill them, or if something weird was going to happen, it would be impossible to care about this little pot of coal. Kong Zexing probably considered that when they were in a state of death, it would take a while to wake up, and in order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, the charcoal fire was extinguished. ”

"Tut-tut." Liu Yang shook his head with emotion and said: "If Lao Tzu has this skill, he is not afraid of others collecting debts, and he will directly cheat him to death, and see if he is ready to ask a dead man for money?" ”

I glanced at him speechlessly, this guy's character is really worth considering, "Don't forget that you haven't given me the medical bills yet, if you die, I'll dig your grave, believe it or not?" I hurriedly reminded me jokingly.

"Huh." He waved his hand freely and said, "This is all a trivial matter, how can our little brother remember this matter because of his generosity?" ”

Seeing that he was ready to repay the debt, I glared and said, "I advise you to pay it back early, my sister is not a generous person, believe it or not, I will let you lie back in the courtyard in minutes?"

”

I really admired his thick-skinned face, and after listening to me, he directly changed the topic and asked Kong Xian: "Master Jin, then can you guess why they cheated to death?" Could it be that they guessed what danger would lie ahead? Don't you want to go with us? I also felt that it was impossible to get over the temporary change of face, so I made this one for us. ”

"Impossible." Kong Xian shook his head and said: "Kong Ze can't be the kind of person who bothered to cheat to death for the sake of face, if there is really any danger ahead, he will definitely ...... directly."

"Not necessarily." I interrupted him and said, "Kong Ze seems to be afraid that I will not go to the palace, and I just used not going to the palace as a threat to let him wake you all up. If he tells us that there will be danger in the future, or if we change our fortunes at the last minute, it is possible that we will choose not to continue in order to protect ourselves. ”

Lin Su had been listening to our discussion, and after I finished speaking, she patted Kong Xian on the shoulder, "Master Jin, if they really found something wrong, so they chose to cheat death and not accompany us down, then what is the most likely thing?" ”

When she mentioned this, we were all silent, and after thinking for a while, Liu Yang pointed to Kong Xian and me and said, "You see, could it be that he originally wanted to go to the palace with us, but both of you were injured on our side, and he felt that it would not be advantageous to follow us, but it would involve the people on his side to rescue us." So he finally chose a decent way, separated from us, and waited for the next wave of more capable people to help him enter the palace. ”

I don't think it's impossible, after all, if he really wants to enter the palace, the two of us will definitely lower the combat effectiveness of the entire team, which is definitely not worth it for him, so it's better to wait for a stronger team.

However, Kong Xian didn't agree, he shook his head and said, "Kong Ze will definitely not look for the next team. According to my guess, the most likely reason is that Kong Ze and the others found another group or another person around us, and this person was not able to be captured. If they take us into the dungeon now, it will be equivalent to bringing in another team of people at the same time, so he simply let us go and let us find it ourselves. ”

"It's very likely that they will hide in the shadows and follow us when they wake up, so that there is a great hope that they can catch the person who is hiding in the shadows." Mo Yanchen said.

"Yes." Kong Xian nodded.

I saw that he seemed to know Kong Ze's psychology very well, so I was a little curious, what happened when he and Kong Ze were alone? Could it be that he has been hiding in it for so long and playing with the king of the king?

Looking at the street I am currently in, it is very smooth and safe, and it doesn't look like there will be a mechanism, so I asked about it bluntly. As soon as I asked, it was obvious that the others were also quite curious, except for Mo Yanchen, they all coaxed him to tell him about it.

Unexpectedly, Kong Xian didn't speak, so he first threw me an eye knife, which made me tremble. Heart said: I didn't mean to remind you of the sad things that I chose Mo Ranchen but didn't choose you before, aren't we talking about serious things? What's wrong with you revealing something to us? He had an expression that wanted to nail me to the opposite wall with an eye knife.

He obviously didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help but be pestered by our people, so he had to look like he was tortured by us to extract a confession, shook his head and said: "Kong Ze saw that I looked a little similar to him, and insisted on knowing my life experience, so he talked about my family, and the purpose of our coming to the ancient city, etc., there was not much valuable things. ”

When I heard him say this, I felt that he was perfunctory. But what he said was really expected, and I couldn't fault it.

"Huh." Liu Yang asked, "Master Jin, you won't tell him all about it directly, right?" You have to change some information, no. Did he tell you if our previous entry into Mirage had something to do with him? And then did he tell you why the people of their family have been waiting here for generations? ”

What Liu Yang asked was probably irrelevant to Kong Xian, so he didn't hesitate, took out the kettle in his bag and took a sip, and then explained: "I asked about these, when we first entered the mouth before, that illusion was indeed related to him. Because it was the only entrance on the map, he sent his men to patrol the area, and according to the past, they would kill the people who entered the ancient city in the illusion, or make them never get out. Then his men would drag those people to the creek we saw earlier and throw them down. ”

I listened to a chill, and I saw a mist rising from the river before, and I thought that the scene was like a fairyland, and it was beautiful. It's disgusting to think about it now, but fortunately I didn't run to the river to see the scenery stupidly, otherwise I would have become a monk and become a vegetarian.

"Then why do the people of their family have to stay here and oppose the people who have entered the ancient city? In this year, New China has been founded, and the people are the masters of their own thinking and life. Do you have to fulfill the mission handed down from your ancestors? Liu Yang asked again.

"A large part of them did leave here." Kong Xian said: "But Kong Ze's family concept is relatively traditional, and protecting the ancient city has always been the top priority for him. However, they are not completely isolated from the world, they will go out from here in different batches, one to scatter their hearts, and the other to collect the materials needed for life. ”

After listening to what he said, I suddenly realized that there was something omitted or concealed in his words. I went around the week and looked at everyone's expressions. They obviously didn't realize it, maybe it was because I had been with Kong Xian for a long time, so they found out about it easily.

But since he is reluctant to say it, there must be something that Liu Yang and they can't know, and I definitely can't ask now, and when I have the opportunity to be alone later, it's not too late to ask.

After Kong Xian finished speaking, he took out the map in his hand and flipped through it, this is obviously the underground palace map that Kong Ze said, and it has nothing to do with the street we are walking on. So even if we look at this picture now, we don't have the slightest clue, and we can only try our luck here and there like headless flies. If the character is good enough, maybe walking and walking, stepping on the next pit is the entrance. If the idea is a little lower, maybe you will not be able to find the direction of a ten-day tour of the ancient city.

After a short walk, we once again saw the large rock wall that cut off the ancient city. The streets in this area are relatively loose, and they have passed the bustling downtown area, and the surrounding houses are relatively low, and the structure is not solid, many of them have collapsed, and they must be the areas where ordinary people live. Since the houses were not close to each other, and there were forks in the road, we did not continue walking, but found a small alley on the right side to look in a different direction.

I didn't go far this way, and the mouth of the alley hadn't come out yet, Kong Xian suddenly stopped, his face was not very good-looking, he took a flashlight into the distance, pointed and said, "There is something there." ”

I squinted and looked in the direction of his flashlight, but I saw only a round black thing that did not fall into the middle of winter, and I didn't know what it was, across the alley from which we were, hanging under the eaves of the house opposite.

"Master Jin, why are your eyes so sharp? I guess it's not an uncommon thing to see from such a distance, but if it's the lantern hanging from the house opposite? Liu Yang said disappreciably.

But seeing that Mo Ranchen's expression was not very good-looking, he secretly strengthened his vigilance.

At this time, Lin Su seemed to be affected by their sudden tense atmosphere, and rushed to front of me, hugging Kong Xian's arm tightly, looking for a sense of security.

I looked at her and felt a little curious. She would hold my arm and shrink next to me before, why did she run to hug Kong Xian this time? Could it be that you have recognized the wrong person?

Obviously, Kong Xian was also a little surprised, and looked down at her. But I didn't say much, just let her hold it.

Looking at this scene, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, could it be that Kong Xian was really interested in Lin Su? This guy wants to rob Bai Zechen's fiancée? Otherwise, he shouldn't have allowed himself to accept this dependence, so that Jia Lin Su had hope, but in the end he couldn't get the result he wanted, did he ever think about how cruel this was?

Liu Yang also saw this scene, he took his elbow and crutched me, and whispered in my ear: "Little brother, are you going to give it up?" Can you have a little bit of the original spirit? ”

"The spirit of the original match?" I looked at him amusedly, "You deserve it for me?" Who told me before that Jin Ye was so scumbag, so don't let me fall deeper and deeper. How? Can't control your burning moon old breath again? ”

"Okay, okay." He saw that I didn't appreciate it, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "When I didn't say it, okay?" ”

The alley wasn't too long, and as we spoke, we had already walked from the alley to the end, and there was a dirt road about two meters wide outside.

Originally, we thought that we would be able to meet the opposite house when we crossed the road, but when we walked in front of it, we realized that the road was actually broken. This side of the road has a collapse about four meters wide from the house on the opposite side, which looks like a split caused by the movement of geological structures, and the abyss below the collapse cannot be illuminated to the bottom with a flashlight, I don't know how deep it is.

"Take out the rope in your bag." Kong Xian greeted Liu Yang.

Liu Yang agreed, quickly took off the backpack on his back, and said while pulling out the rope: "Master Jin, you don't want to go to the other side, right?" We can't tie this rope to the other side. ”
