Chapter Twenty-Three: Accidents in the Temple

After a long silence, someone finally broke the silence: "You say, will there be a treasure hidden in this coffin?" ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately chimed in: "I think it's possible, this coffin is so hidden that there must be valuable burial objects in it!" ”

As soon as they heard that the coffin might contain treasures, many people's eyes lit up and flashed with greed. In the face of wealth and desire, those dangers just now have long been thrown out of the clouds, and at this moment, the black coffin hanging in the air is a mountain of gold in their eyes.

Someone excitedly said, "Why don't we open the coffin and take a look?" ”

Others chimed in: "Good! Let's find a way to get the coffin down! ”

Black Sunglasses said disdainfully next to me, "Who are these people! ”

I turned my head to look at Lian Mingche, and Lian Mingche said: "Although I am also a little curious about this coffin, but my intuition tells me that this thing is by no means simple, so don't provoke it, let's go." ”

To be honest, I was not impressed by these people before, and my evaluation of them was simple and down-to-earth. But now, I see the ugly and inferior nature of human nature, and I don't want to stay here for a quarter of an hour, looking at the greedy faces of these people and feeling disgusted.

We didn't say a word, and walked to the bottom of the platform on our own, wanting to leave by boat.

We can still sail out of the hole while the herd is gone, and if the herd comes out of the river later, we'll have to wait for death.

"Hey, where are you going?" Li Dawei chased after him from behind.

I replied angrily, "Of course it's to get out of here, we don't want to sit here and become food for those water beasts." ”

Li Dawei ran in front of us and blocked our way with open arms: "You can't go!" ”

I frowned and said with a displeased expression, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Dawei said: "Uncle Nine said, you can't leave here without permission, otherwise the Sea Rakshasa will be angry!" ”

Black Sunglasses said: "We are not the ones who send relatives to you, and we have nothing to do with the Sea Rakshasas!" ”

Li Dawei said: "No! Uncle Nine said that you are not allowed to leave here! ”

I always had a very big prejudice against Li Dawei's behavior before, and I couldn't help but be annoyed at the moment: "Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, you are the Ninth Uncle when you open and close your mouth, is the Ninth Uncle your father?" Don't you have a brain yourself? Tell you, we're here to handle the case, and if you don't get out of the way, I'll sue you for harassing official business! ”

"Bastard, shut up!" Several strong men came up behind us with waist knives and surrounded us.

My heart chuckled, and I vaguely felt that something was not right, but there was no timidity on my face, and I asked one of the strong men who took the lead, "What does this mean?" What do you want to do? ”

Lian Mingche stepped forward, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Brothers, we meet in Pingshui, and we can be regarded as people who are destined, and we take a knife at every turn, which hurts my feelings a little." Even if it's a big thing, you can't escape a reason, do we have something unintentional to offend you, and I hope to tell the reason! ”

Uncle Nine walked down slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but we want to ask a few people for a favor!" ”

Black Sunglasses sneered, "Is this your attitude of asking for help?" Then your customs here are really strange! ”

"You dare to be disrespectful to Uncle Jiu, are you looking for death?" The strong man who took the lead pointed to the black sunglasses and scolded.

Black Sunglasses sneered, lowered his voice and said to me: "These barbarians, sooner or later, the master will beat them all over the ground to find teeth." ”

Lian Mingche said to Uncle Nine: "I don't know what Uncle Nine wants us to help do?" ”

Uncle Nine stroked his beard, and his face, which was as dry as old tree bark, showed a sinister smile, and he pointed to the black coffin hanging in the air and said, "I heard that several of you are people who often deal with dead bodies, so I want to ask you to help - open the coffin!" ”

Open the coffin?!

We stared at Uncle Nine with annoyance, we didn't expect this old man to be so shameless, greedy for the treasure in the coffin and afraid of the hidden danger inside, so he asked us to be his "death squad", I couldn't help but scold the old fox in my heart.

Even Mingche was much calmer than me, and he was not shocked when he encountered trouble, he smiled and said: "Uncle Nine, I'm really sorry, we don't have the slightest interest in that coffin." Besides, you found the mechanism, even if there is any treasure in the coffin, you can divide it yourself! ”

Uncle Nine said coldly: "I don't care if you are interested or not, anyway, my brothers and I are very interested, if you really find the baby, then you have to be counted!" You're not going to help us with this little favor, are you? ”

Uncle Nine raised his eyebrows, and those strong men immediately took a step closer to us with knives.

"Don't come here! Whoever came over Lao Tzu was the first to kill him! "The little policemen on our side raised their pistols and their eyes were red.

Now we only have two options, one option is to refuse Uncle Nine's request, and then start a big fight with their people. The second option is to agree to their demands, choose to compromise, and at least obtain temporary security. However, the other side has a large number of people, and if there is a fight, we may not be able to gain the upper hand even if we have guns, so after thinking about it, the safest way at present is to choose compromise.

Even Ming Che naturally analyzed the current situation very clearly, and he smiled: "Uncle Nine, we can help you open the coffin!" But after the coffin is opened, you have to let us go! ”

The ninth uncle said proudly: "This is natural! As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.

Bang!

A strong man flipped the handle of his knife and launched a surprise attack on several small policemen.

The little policemen were caught off guard, and their guns fell to the ground.

Before the little policemen could resist, two snowy waist knives were already on their necks.

I was immediately furious and threw myself at Uncle Nine: "What the fuck do you want to do?" Dare to hijack a police officer? ”

The two strong men stopped me fiercely, and the cold knife was against my neck: "If you shout again, I'll bleed you!" ”

Uncle Nine waved his hand, and the two strong men let go of me, and I snorted and let out a heavy gasp.

Uncle Nine said without looking back: "Don't worry, as long as you are honest, I won't hurt you!" The three of you are in charge of opening the coffin, and these people are left as hostages. ”

I looked back at the little policemen, they had just graduated from the police academy, but at this time they were not afraid, I looked at them, meaning rest assured, it would be fine.

I silently said in my heart: "If they have three longs and two shorts, I must let these grandsons pay back their blood!" ”

We returned to the platform, and after a brief discussion, we decided to climb to the top of the coffin with the help of bronze chains suspended in the air, which was the only way to reach the coffin.

The nearest bronze chain hung on the cave wall above the fishbone temple, and we took off our coats and took out the flashlight and sapper shovel from our backpacks, which were all expedition equipment I borrowed from the expedition team before setting off, and I didn't expect it to come in handy here.

We pinned the sapper shovels behind our waists, put on black tactical gloves, and climbed the rock wall with our bare hands.

Lian Mingche and I were both police officers, so the climb was not a difficult task for us, and we quickly climbed to the Fishbone Temple.

What we didn't expect was that the black sunglasses were also very agile, and the climbing speed was no slower than the two of us, or even sharper than us.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Awesome! ”

Black Sunglasses said: "After so many years of traveling south and north, I have learned some three-legged cat kung fu, otherwise I am afraid I would not have survived today!" After saying this, Black Sunglasses pointed to the bronze chain above his head and said, "I'll come first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Black Sunglasses took a deep breath and jumped up with a loud shout, holding the chains tightly with both hands. Then his waist exerted his strength in unison, raised his legs and hooked the bronze chain, and the whole person hung upside down on the chain like an ape.

Then, alternating his hands, he crawled forward with light and agility along the bronze chain.

Lian Mingche said: "This kid has two hits. ”

I nodded: "You go up first, I'll come to the palace!" ”

Even Ming Che didn't talk nonsense, jumped up, hung upside down on the bronze chain, and then said to me: "Mo San, keep up!" ”

I rubbed my palms together, and jumped high, and the moment I grabbed the chain, I used the power of the jump to lift my waist up, like a big bat, hanging on top of the bronze chain.

The bronze chains were so cold that even through the tactical gloves, my hands were quickly numb, and it was difficult to move each step forward. Not only that, but the bronze chains are slippery in addition to the cold, which also increases the difficulty of our crawl.

But no matter what, we can only grit our teeth and hold on, no one dares to relax at all, fall from such a high air, and if we don't die, we will be crippled. Even if you are lucky enough to fall into the waterhole, you may not be able to alarm the corpse-eating water beast, and when the time comes, it will be gnawed to the point that only a pile of white bones remains, but it will be even worse.

In addition, the three of us must also pay attention to the consistency and coordination of the crawling movement, if we act separately, the suspended bronze chain will sway very much, which not only increases the difficulty of our crawling, but also increases the danger of falling.

So we basically crawled over shouting slogans: "One-two-one, one-two-one!" When shouting one, three people stretched out their left hands at the same time, and when shouting two, three people stretched out their right hands at the same time, one left and one right, and climbed forward with their hands alternately.
