Volume 3 Chapter 27 Adventures in the River Valley

"Granny, where is this," Roland asked weakly, "Hades?" Are you Meng Po? ”

"My surname is Meng," the old man didn't look back, and said while sewing and mending clothes, "this is the place." ”

"Yang Xiu asked me to come and see you, if you die, I will take you back; If you live, I'll give you a ride. The old lady said slowly.

"Am I dead, or am I alive?"

"Dead people don't need to mend their clothes," the old man said and waved his hand, and a copper stove in the middle of the room suddenly burst into flames. It is a unique warmth when wormwood is burned. Roland hurried to the stove, greedily enjoying the rare heat.

"Heat can be transmitted to the body and allow you to recover quickly. Roast a little longer, there's still a little bit down the road. The old lady said lovingly.

"Dare to ask grandma your surname?"

"Ghost, it doesn't matter what the surname is," the old lady said slowly, "you walk twenty-five kilometers forward, there will be a bright light, climb out and you will reach the camp of the buns." You tell them that there are three forks along the underground river, and that the rightmost one leads to the Skull Tower, so that they can quickly take down the camp. The two on the left and in the middle lead to an endless dark hell, make no mistake. ”

"It's that simple?"

"It's not simple, the heavenly machine can't be broken."

"Grandma, you said that you were sent by Yang Xiu's master book, but what do you have to say to the bun?"

"Let's just say that Yang Xiu's withdrawal of the Yin soldiers last time was not for self-preservation, but because of the number of days, and it was also the pressure of Heavenly Court. He and Baozi are still close friends. ”

"I see"

Master Yang also said that he had a compass, a short knife, and a talisman to give to the buns. The bun is very lacking, and the compass can no longer be turned; The talisman is a celestial artifact, and must be returned upon return from victory. ”

"Baozi is thoughtful, he has never used a talisman to transfer a soldier from the netherworld. Compass...... The compass was taken away by Kuroki. Blame me for this. ”

"If you have a fate, you will meet, but if you don't know each other," the old lady smiled, "Child, it's not too early, you go quickly." ”

"What should I say if I see a bun?"

"Feel free to say it," the old lady smiled and made a gesture of please, it seemed that the fate of the dust had arrived, and there were no more guests.

Roland also felt full of energy, neither cold, nor hungry or tired, so he said goodbye to the old man and walked downstream step by step.

The old man behind him suddenly spoke: "The road is simple, don't look around and lose your heart." ”

Roland didn't understand this for a moment, and hurriedly looked back at the old man, and she even wanted to ask her where the great salamander had gone, but found that the shallows were empty, with neither houses nor half living creatures, and the place was desolate. Thinking about the old man's divine power, the salamander's question naturally doesn't need to be asked, but what does that closing sentence mean. If the encounter with the old man took place in the yang world, then it would naturally be a strange story, and in this environment that is already full of ghosts, this incident does not seem surprising.

Roland wanted to take the old man's words to heart and continued on his way.

The dark river turned through the shallows, and suddenly became gentle, and the river edges on both sides were also smooth and straight, making it much easier for Roland to walk. There are no murderous things flashing in the river, but groups of glowing small fish swimming around, scattering and gathering, like a small lamp guiding the way, constantly flashing and disappearing, turning the gentle river water into a brilliant and strange, and also adding a bit of fun to the boring itinerary.

I don't know how long I walked, and sure enough, a ray of light appeared in front of me, and under the direct light of a pillar of light, the water surface of the dark river was glowing with phosphorescence, and a group of soldiers in silver clothes were fetching water with wooden barrels. Roland yelled, "Hey! Is Luding Mountain from? ”

Sure enough, Nei Ying opened the gap between the dark river and the barracks, but if Nei Ying saw the map in Roland's hand and didn't see Bai Wen come out, he would probably be angry.

Roland was sent to the big tent, and looked at the third prince who was studying the battle. The third prince shouted, "Oh, my eldest sister smash!" He threw the baton and ran forward to give him a rope with his own hands. The orderly who knew each other hurriedly ran to call for buns. There was a sound of hurried footsteps far away outside the tent, the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the account, it was Baozi who was sorting out his emotions, and soon, Baozi flashed outside the big tent door, and Roland in front of him was still smiling, and she came back safely.

Ignoring everyone's eyes and what Flowey would think, Roland flew into Baozi's arms.

It was their first time hugging.

Baozi felt a stream of heat, moistening her body like coals, how important warmth is in this cold world. He put aside his usual calmness and determination, and let his feelings run through at this moment. The third prince turned his head and said to Peng Yue, "The weather is good today, suitable for walking." As he spoke, he took Peng Yue's hand and was about to leave.

Roland realized the gaffe at this time, she quickly got out of the arms of the bun, sorted out a strand of green silk on her forehead, and hurriedly said, "Seriously, you all come here." ”

As he spoke, he took out the map he had traced from his bosom and spread it out on the desk. Everyone gathered together and checked against the one-third of the map that they had painstakingly drawn in the early stage, and sure enough, the parts of the two maps were almost identical.

"Great, we are worried that we can't find the exact landing point, and with this map, it will be no problem to choose the airborne landing point." The third prince hammered his palms and said happily.

"You're going to be airborne?" Roland asked suspiciously, and then looked at the scene of the tense kite making in the military camp, "You guys..."

"Yes," Peng Yue said, "it's a risk, and the bet is that the other party doesn't know our intentions." Either you succeed in a surprise attack, or you all die in the air. If the combat intent is leaked, the enemy will shoot at the air, and we will definitely die. ”

"It won't leak secrets, the camp is now locked tighter than the safe, and it's hard for anyone to leak secrets." The third prince was full of confidence, "The enemy is cowering in the city, unable to come out to reconnoitre." ”

"What if," Roland said suspiciously, "what if, I mean, if the enemy has spies in my camp, or if there is a means of communication like sending telegrams and telexes?" ”

"Transmitter? Telex? Phone? Or is it a charm? "The third prince does not believe in evil."

"But I clearly feel that Kuroki maintains a close connection with this side, and as soon as you prepare for a sneak attack, he will move there." Roland said, "You guys will check again." ”

"Is there really a spy?" The third prince looked at the bun in astonishment, he had never seriously thought about this question, "Who could it be?" ”。

"There are spies, and there is some kind of communication between the spies and Kuroki, and it is very likely that our every move is under their control." Roland briefly recounted what happened to him in the mine, and hurriedly asked, "Who discovered the Dark River Estuary?" ”

After this question was thrown, everyone present, including the third prince, suddenly understood, "What a game!" ”

"Luckily, they thought I was holding a fake map, and we could keep loading it." Roland said: "It is not impossible to calculate the calculation. But the few people who came with the bun had to be controlled. ”

"The problem of air raids ... How to solve.. Are you still fighting? Baozi said, "If the other party is aware of it, our sneak attack is tantamount to suicide." ”

"We were deliberately let out, and then Kuroki used all kinds of means to let you take a fake map, and did not hesitate to mobilize troops and horses to create opportunities for you to escape, and the soldiers and horses are now wandering outside and don't know their location, and they have set up such a big battle one after another, what is the purpose of it?" Baozi strives to connect all the events for analysis.

"Let's say Heimu's side has our intentions," Peng Yue said, "most likely long-range shelling, because they can't rush into the canyon." In this way, together with the defenders inside, they can flank us inside and out, forcing us to death. ”

"Yes," Roland said, "the enemy's reinforcements are artillery units, and the direction is not clear at the moment. ”

"Roland, are you asking us to abandon the airdrop plan? Can.... The third prince turned around in a hurry, took out a salan cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit the fire, and a strange smell came to his face.

"Why did you get into a cigarette, dragon smoking, you were the first." Roland teased, and then frowned, "Hey, Brother Baozi, this taste is so familiar." ”

Baozi nodded, "I also feel familiar, where have you smelled it?" If you feel the same way, it can only ......"

Roland thought for a while, "After you ruined Lu Han's house, you brought back a large bundle of soul incense.... Doesn't that smell like this when you light it? ”

"Oops!" Baozi patted his head, "Oh my God!" The spiritualist incense that Lu Han used to connect with the red dragon in the yang world was originally made of salina grass! ”

Salan grass smoke is the communication tool for ghosts to communicate!
