Chapter Seventy-Four: The Temple of the South Seas

I decided to hide what Zhao Huchun had tried to test us with a gun, and what Zhao Huchun had said to us. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"We just wanted to come up!" I said, "But the three mountain ghosts didn't know how to untie the rope and chased after them!" In order to save me and Feibao, Zhao Huchun lit three incendiary cannon bullets. I wiped my tears.

At this time, Hotaru cried. She is a very sensitive and affectionate person, although Zhao Huchun has known us for a short time, but everyone can be said to have been born and died. Hotaru shed simple tears!

Fat Bao patted me on the shoulder, he didn't cry, but judging by his face, he was also very sad.

The fire below was still burning, and it didn't go out until the fuel for the incendiary cannon was burned. I don't know how long it took to burn, but it ended up smelling burning.

Zhang Long sat aside, his eyes becoming empty. It can be seen that he and Zhao Huchun have a deep relationship, maybe this is the bond formed after going through hardships together!

I, Hotaru, and Fat Treasure all sat and rested. The wolf made a phone call and sat still. Zhang Long fell off the bandage on his head due to the excitement just now, and Qixing was helping him change the bandage.

My mind is full of many, many mysteries, in fact, most of them were left by Zhao Huchun. A small part is left of this place, where the underground ruins remain.

This place records the dragon vein of Guangzhou, but according to the murals, among the double true dragon veins, a true dragon successfully took off in Panyu's dragon. The other one died in the Lion Ocean, and the evil spirit of the dead dragon vein was finally sealed by the local leader with the holy rope inherited from the ancestors. So is this Saint Rope the Bundle of Divine Cords that the Special Environmental Research Bureau is looking for? If it is a bundle of gods, the specific location of Shiziyang is between the Dongjiang Estuary and the Pearl River Estuary, the place is so big, where will it be?

What the hell was the chain that killed the five mountain ghosts behind the stone gate? What exactly is it that wants to kill the creatures that pass through there? The weight moving and the sound of chains dragging suggests that it must be massive, and I can't imagine what kind of monster it must be.

What shocked me the most was that the true identity of the mountain ghost was actually a deformed child abandoned by the local villagers. Zhao Huchun is right, they have lost their humanity and should not return to the human world. But this is naked human life!

And Zhao Huchun's description of his disappearance at the beginning did not match at all. What did you meet someone who looked exactly like him? Did he encounter a human or a ghost? His pistol was missing at first, why was it suddenly on his waist again when he woke up. If it weren't for the gunshot wound in his shoulder, I would have thought he was dreaming.

Why did he suffer from partial amnesia, and he had forgotten all about the underground ruins that he had followed the archaeological team into the underground site seventeen years ago. Other things are remembered clearly. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd! Is it really such a coincidence?

Also, what Zhao Huchun said to me and Feibao before he died. He seemed to know something about what Amin had encountered that night in Baiyun Mountain. He said that what happened to Ah Ming was not as simple as we imagined, and he also asked us to find the origin of the Heavenly Mirror and the secret of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow. What does the mirror have to do with the ghost book? What the hell is a ghost book?

Zhao Huchun asked us to promise him three things. Of course, I didn't say yes, he just said yes to us. The first is for us to help him find the Bundle of Gods, saying that if I am some kind of observer, I should find it. He had also mentioned the word observer before, what exactly is an observer.

The second thing is for us to help him find the archaeologists who may not be dead. Now that I think about it, in addition to him and Zhang Long, it is really possible that there are still archaeological team members who are not dead. First of all, the diary, which was missing the rest of the diary, ended up with the archaeological team being attacked by mountain ghosts. It is certain that after being attacked by hundreds of mountain ghosts, there are still archaeological team members who survived, otherwise it would not have been possible to write that sentence in the diary.

Then, the archaeological team members we found in the mountain ghost storage room were only heads, and there were white bones below the heads, and I roughly counted them, and there were definitely no more than forty people there. It is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty people. So it is certain that at least a dozen members of the archaeological team escaped the attack of the mountain ghosts, and then came to the giant stone gate we just entered.

Because there is a hole in the lower left corner of the stone gate that has been blown open by gunpowder. It is estimated that the archaeological team did it. I didn't see any bones in the distance I had climbed up through the waterhole and through the vertical opening, which means that the surviving archaeologists had not died on the way to the exit. It is possible that they also crawled out through this passage like us, and they may have covered it with a stone slab to prevent the mountain ghosts inside from climbing out. It's entirely possible.

But in the end, the question arises, if the surviving archaeological team members did not die, why did they not immediately contact the government after they managed to get out, but disappeared en masse? What exactly happened to them after that? Has anyone survived to this day? This is a question that really needs to be explored further.

Finally, and the one thing I want to know the most. The third thing Zhao Huchun asked me and Fei Bao to agree to was not to tell anyone else what he had told us and what he had sneaked into the Special Environmental Research Bureau by concealing his identity. How did he learn that Armin that night was not as simple as he imagined? What was the purpose of his concealed infiltration of the Research Bureau?

When he was about to die with the mountain ghosts, he also said that he couldn't get out because he was a sinner! What crime did he commit? Is it really because he has sinned in the past that he hides his name? Or is there another plan?

I originally thought that all the mysteries left behind by Zhao Huchun would be buried in the darkness forever with his death. But in my later investigation, the secret behind Zhao Huchun gradually became clear. What a horrible thing that is!

With so many mysteries that my mind was running out, I shook my head vigorously to clear myself up. Qixing came over and patted me gently on the shoulder, and she asked me if I was uncomfortable. Their people will be there soon, do you need to take us to the hospital!

I looked at Fat Bao and Hotaru, when Hotaru was in the underground ruins, under the full protection of me and Fat Bao, there were basically no injuries, but there was a little abrasion on the arm, the trouser leg was bitten by a flying fox, and there were blood bat's tooth marks on the foot. It finally gave me some comfort.

My clothes and Fat Treasure are full of holes. But he didn't suffer any serious injuries. So I turned down Qixing. I'd rather go to the hospital for a full body check-up.

I don't really want to get involved with anyone in the Research Bureau. Because I vaguely felt an aura of danger in my contact with them, not because they were dangerous, but because what they were doing was too dangerous.

That's when I'm in the mood to look around. I realized that it was already dusk, and the last rays of the sun on the horizon were about to disappear.

We felt like we were in an ancient ruin. It's surrounded by ruins. The ground was covered with grass. That's when I realized that the place we had just climbed up was a well.

I looked further afield, across a grove of trees, and there was a different scene. There are many ancient temples in the distance, but they look very new, as if they were built in modern times. From here I also heard the sound of the bell ringing and smelled the smell of burning incense.

"Where is this?" I asked Qixing.

"South Sea Temple, old site!" Qixing said.
