Chapter 128: After all, it's gone
When he said this, I immediately understood what was going on, but unfortunately it was too late, and my uncle was standing outside the door at this time, and he stretched out his hand, as if he had touched some mechanism on the wall, and I first heard a "click", after which the stone door of the burial chamber rose at a very fast speed.
After only a moment, the stone door was tightly closed, and outside the tomb, the footsteps of the master could be heard.
In fact, from the very beginning, Uncle Shi didn't think about staying, he first pretended to be asleep, let me relax my vigilance, and then quietly took off a button from his clothes, saw the position of Liang Zi, and threw the button at Liang Zi's injured left rib, through Liang Zi After transferring me and Liang Houzai, Uncle Shi finally fled, afraid that we would chase, he even closed the door of the tomb.
At this time, there was only a trace of fire on the torch in the tomb, and it was pitch black all around, and even the stone door of the tomb was hidden in the darkness, and I could not see the door, but could only hear the footsteps of the master and uncle, which were getting farther and farther away from us.
I never dreamed that Uncle Shi would just leave like this, in front of me. He had been planning for a long time, and he walked decisively, so suddenly that after a long time, I didn't come back to my senses.
Liang Houzai picked up the clasp from the ground, flipped it in his hand, handed it to me, and said, "Metal." ”
When I touched the button, I put it in the pocket of my pants.
After that, I began to worry, I was afraid that Master would blame me when he came back, and when he left, he must have hoped that I could watch Master and not let Master escape, but I failed to live up to his expectations.
I can't understand Uncle Shi's actions, what kind of grudge he has with Jisoulzhuang, why is he so disgusted with Jisoulzhuang, even if he doesn't want to go back to Jisoulzhuang, can he not go back at all, follow us back to Shandong, and be a companion to Master?
Master hasn't seen Master for more than 30 years, in the past, every time Master mentioned Uncle Shi, there was an indescribable longing in his tone, I could see that Master was still very concerned about Master, but why did he say goodbye like this, what did he think in his heart?
After a long time, the footsteps of Master's Wang Dafu sounded outside the door of the tomb, and when Master came to the door, I heard a long sigh.
Seeing the closed stone door, the master should have realized that the master had left, but when Wang Dafu opened the door, the master saw me for the first time and asked, "Where is your uncle?" ”
I didn't want to answer this question, but Master kept staring at me, as if expecting me to give him an acceptable answer, and after hesitating for a long time, I still said to Master, "Let's go, I can't stop it." ”
When I said this, Master's eyes suddenly became very lost, but after a while, Master smiled helplessly: "Alas, in fact, I should have thought about it a long time ago, Senior Brother didn't want to go back with me at all. Alas, that's it, anyway, if he wants to leave, no one can stop him. Come, there is a way, a thick load, you two take the handle, and put the beam on the stretcher. ”
As he spoke, Master and Wang Dafu carried the stretcher together, while Liang Houzai and I carefully lifted Liang Zi up and placed it on the stretcher.
Originally, I was planning to carry the stretcher with Liang Houzai and transport Liang Zi out. But the master thought that the two of us had no strength, and after we were separated, he and Wang Dafu lifted the stretcher one after the other and slowly walked out of the tomb, while Liang Houzai and I were guarding Liang Zi left and right, for fear that he would be bumped.
Along the way, Master didn't speak, I kept paying attention to the expression on Master's face, but I saw that he had a relaxed face, as if Master didn't particularly care about Master's farewell.
I was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with Master, but when I walked through the last section of the tomb, I heard Master sigh, his voice was very small, but I still heard it.
After leaving the cemetery, we followed a hole back to the ramp full of rope hooks, because Liang Zi was injured, this part of the road became extremely difficult, Master first tied Liang Zi to the stretcher, and then the four of us each left one hand to grasp one end of the stretcher, and the other hand grasped the chain, and climbed up little by little.
Fortunately, before going up the ramp, the master used the Fantian Seal to suppress the yin evil in the vicinity, and walked all the way down, and there was no wind on the ramp.
Following the ramp, we climbed all the way to the top floor of the Dragon King's Tomb. The structure of this floor is not as complex as the later floors, it is several spacious halls connected together, and on the floor of the hall, there are all kinds of gold and silver jewels, all of which carry very strong corpse poison.
Not to mention Wang Dafu and them back then, I can be regarded as having seen a little bit of people in the market in the ghost market, but when I see those shining gold jewelry, I am still a little tempted.
Liang Houzai also stared at those things while walking, and once he didn't care to look at the road, and almost fell.
My master deliberately quickened his pace and left this place as fast as he could.
At the end of this level, there is a tunnel, and at the end of this tunnel, there is the abyss that Liang Houzai and I fell into before, standing next to the hole at the end of the tunnel, I can feel the damp breath coming from above my head, I can stick my head out and look down, and I can faintly see the pale blue light from the pool.
Outside the entrance to the cave, there were several ropes hanging from the frogmen.
Master tied the beam to one of the ropes and beckoned a few of us to climb up the rope together.
Crawling along the rope for about ten meters, I could touch the river water of Erlong Bay above my head, I raised my head and looked up, and I saw a one-meter-wide hole above my head, and a whirlpool formed by a turbid water.
To my surprise, the water swirled above my head as if it were not affected by gravity, and it did not fall.
At this time, Liang Houzai, who was following behind me, said: "Tianshui! ”
I lowered my head to look at Liang Houzai, and I wanted to ask him what Tianshui was, but as soon as I lowered my head, I was presented with the deep abyss under me, and I felt as if my heart had been grabbed by something, and my head became dizzy, and even the fingers holding the rope were a little soft.
At this time, Master was on a rope next to me, and he reached out to help me and shouted at me, "Don't look down, climb up quickly!" ”
I immediately raised my face, held my breath, and with all my strength, rushed into the vortex above my head as fast as I could.
Strange to say, when we entered the tomb of the Dragon King, we were swept into the tomb by the current, and the force of the water was downward at that time, but this time, when I rushed into the water of Erlong Bay, the muddy water was circling and holding me up, and I was almost sent out of the tomb by this current without using my own strength.
From entering the water again to surfacing the surface, the whole process is very short, at the moment of surfacing, I feel that the whole person is relaxed, and finally return to the outside world, looking at the sky with white clouds, breathing some fresh air with some moisture, seeing Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng on the shore, I can't say how happy I am.
After me, Master, Liang Houzai, and Wang Dafu also surfaced one by one, and Master handed over the rope in his hand to Senior Brother Zhuang and asked him to find a few people to pull Liang up.
After that, the master beckoned to Senior Brother Feng and a few soldiers: "You guys come with me." After speaking, the master beckoned to Wang Dafu again: "You also go back to the village with me." ”
When Master mentioned the "village", I remembered that there was another Wang Dafu in the village, and I immediately guessed what Master wanted to do.
Liang Houzai and I hurriedly climbed ashore and trotted all the way to keep up with Master's pace.
When I was about to leave the boundary of Erlong Bay, I glanced back and saw that Liang Zi had been carried out of the water by Senior Brother Zhuang and them.
Liang Houzai and I followed closely behind Master, Wang Dafu behind the two of us, and then five soldiers with loaded guns.
Wang Dafu also had a puzzled expression on his face at the moment, from beginning to end, he didn't know that there was another him outside the tomb of the Dragon King.
Master's pace deliberately quickened, and he led us through a large wooded area and soon came to the outside of the small village.
The time is about noon, the sun is in the sky, the old locust tree at the entrance of the village is directly exposed to the sun, with a layer of brilliant sunlight, when we come to the entrance of the village, a gust of wind blows, the leaves shake, making a light rustling sound.
But other than that, the whole village was surprisingly quiet, there was no one on the road outside the village, and the children who gathered at the entrance of the village to play were gone.
Brother Zhuang's car was still parked outside the village, and the haystacks on it had been removed, and only some scraps of hay were still attached to the body, which was pale yellow, and from a distance, it looked like a thin layer of yellow sand was covering up on the body.
Seeing such a scene, I suddenly had the illusion that Senior Brother Zhuang's car seemed to have been stalled at the entrance of the village for many years, and the small village in front of me seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
Master drew his green steel sword and walked into the village first, and we still followed closely behind Master.
I saw no one on the village road before, I thought it was because it was lunch time, and everyone in the village went home to eat, but when I walked into the village, I found that this village has really become a deserted village, and most of the houses here have open doors, but when I looked towards the door, I found that there was no one inside at all.
On the road in the middle of the village, there was still the old telephone pole, but the big poster on it had been replaced with a new one, and I was far away enough to read the words written on the big red poster with a brush: "We're leaving, don't look for us!" ”
The master came to the telephone pole and was stunned for a long time in the face of the big-character poster, before turning around and saying to a few soldiers, "Search here to see if anyone remains." ”
After the soldiers left, the master sighed and said to Wang Dafu, "Old Wang, do you have any brothers in this world?" ”
Wang Dafu smiled and nodded.
