Chapter 604: The Shore of Youze
Before leaving, Senior Brother Bao set a fire on the side of the steel frame room and burned more than 50 human skins together.
We have made a lot of noise in the tunnel just now, because the tunnel is relatively shallow, the residents of the nearby community are likely to be aware of it, and now the fire is shining together, and soon there will be people from the fire brigade coming.
We didn't dare to stay, so we quickly got in the car and left.
In the trunk, seventeen mercenaries were huddled together, except for the three seriously wounded, the others were still unconscious.
Li Renfeng pointed to the three mercenaries who were still bleeding, and asked Senior Brother Bao: "Senior Uncle, you said, several of them are like this, can they still be saved?" ”
At that time, Senior Brother Bao was calling Senior Brother Zhuang to report the situation, and he didn't have time to deal with him.
Luo Youfang on the side said: "These things can't die as long as their heads are not pierced, and it will take them half a year to fully recover from such injuries." ”
Luo Youfang's calmness when he spoke surprised me very much, when we rescued him just now, he still looked like he couldn't imagine that we would come, but now he seems to have fully adapted to our existence, and his tone of voice is like chatting with an acquaintance, without the slightest barrier.
On top of that, his recovery ability was much better than I had imagined, and when I saw him from the basement, I thought he was dying, but by the time we got him in the car, he was fully conscious, and now even his breath was back to normal.
Li Renfeng looked at Luo Youfang in a daze, and after a long time, he asked, "Are you Luo Youfang?" ”
Luo Youfang crooked his mouth and smiled: "Shouldn't you call me uncle?" ”
He always looks very familiar with Li Renfeng when he talks, which makes me very uncomfortable.
At this time, Senior Brother Bao had already hung up the phone, he also came over, looked at me, and then at Luo Youfang, and finally asked, "Is this guy one of ours?" ”
I nodded, "He always was." ”
Senior Brother Bao's mouth opened slightly, and he kept looking at Luo Youfang in a daze, it seemed that he couldn't accept this fact for a while.
After all, over the years, Luo Youfang has been the organization's most wanted criminal.
After Zhang Dafa drove the car out of the county seat, he turned onto the inter-village road, and he kept drilling the small road all the way, during which he also drove the car to the mountains, and changed the paint and license plate of the car with Senior Brother Bao.
Xian'er planted nightmares for the mercenaries after they woke up, and Luo Fei collected a large number of soul banner fragments from these mercenaries and put them together into a complete Xunzi banner.
I asked Luo Youfang if there was an accident with Uncle Luo, Luo Youfang said that he should be fine, some time ago the Funeral Sect saw through his identity and sent someone to hunt him down, this Xunzi flag was left behind when my Uncle escaped away. The Funeral Sect has not found him until now, and Luo Youfang does not know where he has gone.
There was not much on the way, Zhang Dafa drove the car to the junction of Hubei and Hunan, Senior Brother Zhuang and Dawei took people to wait here early in the morning, when we handed over the prisoners, Senior Brother Zhuang got in the car to check, at that time Luo Youfang covered his face with a towel, but Senior Brother Zhuang recognized him at a glance by his figure.
"Luo Youfang?" Senior Brother Zhuang pointed at Luo Youfang, turned his head and asked me.
Without waiting for me to speak, Luo Youfang took off the towel and smiled at Senior Brother Zhuang: "Senior Brother Zhuang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Brother Zhuang ignored him, but asked me, "Why didn't you tie him up?" ”
I said, "You don't need to tie up your own people." ”
"Your own people?" Senior Brother Zhuang looked at me with a stunned expression, and then looked at Luo Youfang.
After a long time, Senior Brother Zhuang showed a sudden expression and asked Luo Youfang: "The mysterious person who has been passing news to us from within the Funeral Sect is you?" ”
Luo Youfang: "Who else can it be if it's not me?" ”
I asked Luo Youfang: "Have you delivered a message to the organization?" ”
Luo Youfang nodded: "For more than a year after Uncle Chai passed away, I could only get in touch with your organization and pass on the inside news of the Funeral Sect. ”
Senior Brother Zhuang asked him, "Does anyone else know your identity?" ”
"No," Luo Youfang said, "But now, I have lost my use value for the Funeral Sect, and if I come back this time, I am afraid I will not be able to go back in the future." ”
Senior Brother Zhuang beckoned to me and Liang Houzai: "There is a way, Houzai, you two are responsible for getting these mercenaries out of the car, and our people will not come up." Luo Youfang's identity, don't let too many people know about it now, after all, the organization is not peaceful. ”
Liang Houzai and I didn't say a word, we went straight to the car, and transported the prisoners in the car one by one, in the corner of the trunk where Luo Youfang was, the shadow covered his face, even if someone looked at the car, they couldn't see his face.
After the handover of the prisoners, Senior Brother Zhuang changed a van for us, Senior Brother Bao and Zhang Dafa followed Senior Brother Zhuang, and Liu Shangang drove the van and drove us straight to Jisoul Village.
When I was on the road, I asked Luo Youfang if the Shiquan Daoist was the mastermind behind the funeral sect, but he said that when he arrived at Jisoul Village, it was not safe on the road.
When I returned to Jisoul Village, passing by the labyrinthine bamboo forest, I didn't expect Luo Youfang to be familiar with the road here, I walked in the woods, and from time to time I had to look at the mountains behind, but he didn't need it at all, just walked forward with his head stuffy, faster than me.
When I arrived at the gatehouse of the Soul Village, I asked Luo Youfang: "Did you often go in and out of the Soul Village in the past?" ”
"I've only been here once," Luo Youfang pointed to his head and said to me, "I have a part of Luo Zhongxing's memories here, and I created it by him." ”
How could Luo Youfang's brain have Luo Zhongxing's memory? I couldn't help but frown and look at him in surprise.
Luo Youfang: "I'll talk about these things later, are Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao here, I have to meet them first." ”
I didn't talk nonsense anymore, and immediately took Luo Youfang to the lobby.
Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao were both there, and when we came to the lobby, they were studying the two bamboo slips I brought out from the cabinet last time.
As soon as they saw Luo Youfang following me, the two uncles were stunned and asked me why I brought him in.
When I said that Luo Youfang was my own person, Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao were also like Senior Brother Bao and Senior Brother Zhuang, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Luo Youfang asked me Uncle Xia: "Uncle Xia, do you have a piece of tortoise shell in your hand, and there is a gap in the upper right corner of the tortoise shell?" ”
Xia Shibo looked at Luo Youfang, neither nodded nor shook his head, just watched quietly.
Luo Youfang asked me Uncle Zhao again: "Uncle Zhao, is there a line of vague small characters engraved under the Dan furnace where you refine yin and yang sand in the first vein of Yuxian?" ”
Master Zhao stared at Luo Youfang for a while and asked me, "Youdao, are you sure that he is your own person?" ”
I nodded, "Sure." ”
Uncle Zhao hesitated for a while before turning to Luo Youfang and nodding silently.
Luo Youfang said to me: "Combine these two things, and we will know what Luo Zhongxing is going to do." ”
Uncle Xia and Senior Brother Zhao looked at me at the same time, both of them worried.
Over the years, in the eyes of Xia Shibo and Zhao Shibo, Luo Youfang has always been a heinous person, and now he has suddenly become a person on our side, and no one can accept him in a short time.
I arched my hands towards Master Xia and Master Zhao respectively: "Two uncles, are the two things that Luo Youfang just mentioned in Jisoul Village?" ”
Uncle Zhao pondered for a while and asked Luo Youfang: "When did you take refuge in our side?" ”
Luo Youfang: "It happened decades ago, when Uncle Chai and Master saved my life, and very few people know about it. ”
Uncle Xia also said on the side: "I once heard Senior Brother Chai say that Zhao Zongdian seems to have always disowned you as an apprentice, right?" ”
Luo Youfang smiled bitterly at first, and then made an indifferent expression: "It doesn't matter if he recognizes me as an apprentice or not, anyway, as long as I recognize him as a master, he will always be my master." ”
Uncle Zhao was about to speak, but I took the first step and said, "Two uncles, the situation is very urgent now, hurry up and take out the things." ”
Uncle Xia still hesitated, Master Zhao left his seat, walked in front of me, stared at my face carefully, and asked me, "Do you remember how many years you entered the Soul Village?" ”
I sighed helplessly: "I am an apprentice during the Double Ninth Festival in the ninety-fifth year, and I came to the Soul Village for the first time in the beginning of the ninety-eighth year, and I met Liang Houzai in the same year. Uncle Shi, you can't doubt my identity, do you? ”
Uncle Zhao looked a little embarrassed: "It's not that I doubt your identity, alas, forget it, don't talk about it." Senior Brother Xia, what do you think should be done about this? ”
Uncle Xia was silent for a moment before responding: "Youdao is the head of the upright line, and this matter may involve changes in the entire industry, and he should make up his mind." ”
Uncle Zhao spread his hands at me: "Then you don't have a choice?" ”
I couldn't help but laugh: "That's not a choice." ”
Master Xia also stood up, and said, "I'll go get the Xuan Tortoise Shell, and you go to the alchemy room." He walked out of the lobby.
Uncle Zhao took us to the alchemy room, and took out a Dan furnace that was only the size of a palm from an old wooden box, Master Zhao said, this thing can't actually be called a Dan furnace, it is a medicine vessel left by the ancestor in the early years, and it was originally used to refine medicine.
It didn't take long for Uncle Xia to come over with a piece of turtle shell, this turtle shell was more than a foot long and half a foot thick, although it was only a fragment, but just by looking at the thickness, you could know how big the complete turtle shell should be.
At first, I did think that the turtle shell was only half a foot thick, but Xia Shibo said that the complete turtle shell was originally more than two meters thick, but in the Sui Dynasty, the turtle shell began to rot, and the Soul Village only kept such a small fragment.
Luo Youfang lit a fire under the Dan furnace, smashed a little powder from the turtle shell, mixed it with water and poured it into the Dan furnace.
I saw that when Luo Youfang smashed the turtle shell, Master Xia had a painful expression on his face.
"Zuo Youdao, come and see." Luo Youfang lay on the ground and beckoned to me.
I lay next to him, staring at the base of the Dan furnace.
Under the scorching flames, a line of small red characters slowly emerged from the base of the Dan furnace, these handwriting was very blurry, almost unrecognizable, Luo Youfang asked me not to blink, staring at the line of words.
The light of the fire was a little dazzling, and the smoke drifted towards me from time to time, and I had to squint.
After about ten seconds, the text at the bottom of the Dan furnace suddenly became very clear, it was a line of ancient characters in small seal style, and the content was: "On the shore of Youze, the ghost door is wide open." ”
The handwriting became clear for a split second, and blurred for the next.
Luo Youfang and I sat up at the same time, he stared at the Dan furnace and I stared at him.
I asked him, "What do these eight words mean?" ”
Luo Youfang responded to me while thinking: "It should mean that Luo Zhongxing is going to open the ghost gate, he is planning to reverse yin and yang!" But what kind of place is Youze? ”
I heard Liang Houzai say behind us: "Xinjiang Lop Nur was called 'Youze' in ancient times. ”
Luo Youfang nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that there is really a ghost gate......
I asked him, "Luo Zhongxing is in Lop Nur now?" ”
"No," Luo Youfang shook his head: "The time is not ripe yet, he will not rashly open the ghost gate." I think that Luo Zhongxing should still be collecting Yin jade everywhere now, and if he doesn't collect all the Yin jade, he will only have half a life. ”
At this time, a large number of questions accumulated in my mind seemed to erupt, but I didn't know where to start for a while.
Or Liang Houzai asked beside him: "Why did Luo Zhongxing open the ghost door?" ”
Luo Youfang said: "Because he wants to completely cut off reincarnation and become a true immortal." As soon as the ghost door opens, the resistance between the two worlds of yin and yang will be gone, and when the time comes, yin and yang will be reversed, and the whole world will be in chaos. ”
Liang Houzai asked Luo Youfang: "How much do you know about Luo Zhongxing?" ”
