Chapter Twenty-Seven: Caught in a Trap

Ding Jun closed his eyes, recalled all the circumstances after he found Si Qin's knife falling to the ground last night, and suddenly made a decision: "Miss Fang, you stay in the temple, and I will go to Zada County."

Fang Qing immediately understood: "You're going to find Shi ...... Wonderful?"

Since Shi Miaoshou is the mastermind behind the scenes, she no longer respectfully calls her "Uncle Shi".

"He must be found in order to unravel the dark curtain." Ding Jun said very firmly.

"But, what about Siqin's side? If she dies, what happens to the baby -- or conversely, what happens when the baby dies?" Fang Qing asked anxiously.

Ding Jun pressed Fang Qing's shoulder, stared into her eyes, and replied in a low voice, "Don't think too much, follow your heart." What you are worried about is only in hypothesis. We are in the whirlpool of adversity, and we can only open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, see the moves, and act when the opportunity arises. Don't make too many assumptions, it will be useless, and it will be a taboo in war. Now, calm down, eat a good breakfast, then wash your face and brush your teeth, and grab a Buddhist sutra to read. Remember, what can be changed by us, we can settle it as soon as we make a move; What cannot be changed by us, it is helpless to force it. Just as you asked me about the meaning of the mark in the Pavilion of the Scriptures, I know, I said it; I don't know, I can't make it up, can I?"

Fang Qing quieted down, and the two looked at each other silently.

"I'm sorry." For a long time, Fang Qing said embarrassedly.

"Don't say you're sorry, you're not sorry for anyone, we're all being swept up for no reason. Now, I'm leaving, and I'll leave everything here to you, and keep in touch. Ding Jun didn't delay at all and went out immediately.

On the way from the small courtyard to the entrance of the Torin Temple, the sound of the monks chanting in the temple kept coming to his ears. Suddenly, he felt that Shi Miao's hand had extended the battlefield to this ancient Tibetan temple, disturbing the pure cultivation of nearly 100 monks in the Torin Monastery, which was really hateful.

He started his car and hurried to the county seat of Zada

Zada, which means "place with grass downstream" in Tibetan, was originally the territory of the Dzhabrang and Dhapa sects. In October 1956, the two merged to form the Za Tat Zong office. In May 1960, Zada County was established under the jurisdiction of Ali District, and the county government was stationed in Torin Town.

Zada County used to be the famous "smallest county in the country" on the mainland, so the streets were sparsely populated.

Shi Miaoshou's private clinic is located in the north of Torin Town, and the house on the street is used as a place to receive patients, see a doctor and get medicine, and the big black iron door on the right side of the clinic is inward, which is the residence of the Shi family.

When Ding Jun arrived, the wooden door of the clinic was closed, and there was no sound inside. He turned to the side and knocked on the iron door, but no one answered, which shows that Shi Miaoshou directly closed the clinic and moved his family in order to avoid trouble, and he walked very thoroughly.

There was a half-foot square movable window on the big iron door, and Ding Jun pushed open the small window and touched a heavy big iron lock. He had already prepared, and there were two stainless steel crochet needles between his index and middle fingers, ring finger and little finger, all of which pierced the keyhole, and only four or five times of alternating movements before the iron lock was opened.

Ding Jun pushed the door in, and then locked the door with his backhand.

The courtyard of the Shi family is very large, with fifty steps from north to south and one hundred steps from east to west, which is equivalent to a small playground. There is only one row of houses in the courtyard, which faces south and is built on the northernmost part of the compound. There are fifteen houses in total, and the living conditions are quite spacious.

Ding Jun walked briskly through the empty courtyard and entered the north house in the middle. This is a large and spacious living room, with six sets of sofas and several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the side wall.

The first thing that caught Ding Jun's eye was an ancient text of Lishu, which copied Mencius's article "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace".

Ding Jun stood at the door for five minutes, looked around the house repeatedly, and found a thin layer of dust accumulated on the ground, except for the occasional mouse footprints under the calligraphy and paintings, there was no trace of dust disturbance. That is, no one has been in this house for a long time.

He looked at them one by one, and all the houses were the same, without any living footprints.

"Shi Miaoshou didn't come back? Where will he go? Is there nothing to be nostalgic for in this courtyard?" He frowned in thought, and slowly withdrew, surveying the courtyard.

Suddenly, he felt a faint murderous motive coming from the closed clinic. At the last moment, he flashed to the right, and only half a second later, where he had been standing, he was hit by a sudden bullet, and the glass on the door at the height of his forehead shattered.

Ding Jun dodged sharply, entered a doorway next to the living room, and crawled under the window, motionless.

"I don't want to kill, but the enemy is pressing forward step by step, what can I do?" He asked himself in the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for the sixth, the bullet would have pierced his head.

Just as he was thinking like this, his body suddenly became lighter, and he was caught by a large gray net, and he was instantly suspended in the air. The net tightened rapidly, and he could only curl up to avoid accidental injury.

"Ah......h

"It's finally time to call it a day, I've been waiting here for seven days and nights, I'm really tired!" The small-eyed man stood up, stretched, and yawned.

Soon, two people came in from outside the house, one of them was carrying a long gun, which should be the person who shot Ding Jun from inside the clinic.

"The Snow Maiden is calling, and she will be coming soon." Said the pikeman.

The small-eyed man replied, "We're all done, can't we go to Torin Temple to meet her?" Why stay here? To be honest, I felt that the Shi family's compound was gloomy, as if something was wrong. ”

The third man, with a shiny leather cover on his left eye and only a shining right eye, patted the small-eyed man on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, it's safe here."

The small-eyed man shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't want to lurk anymore, I'm bored to death, I'm anxious to die, I'm annoyed to death, it's better to go directly to Torin Temple to meet Lao Jin, and kill and rob happily!"

The one-eyed man frowned: "Don't shout about killing and robbing all day long, this mantra is not good, let the Snow Maiden hear it, and you have to be scolded." Now we are no longer the Ten Heavenly Eagles of the past, but the retinue of the Snow Maiden, and we must listen carefully to what she wants us to do. ”

The small-eyed man took a sip and stopped talking.

The spearman looked up at Ding Jun hanging on the beam, raised his gun, made a aiming and shooting motion, made a "bang" sound in his mouth, and then laughed.

The small-eyed man dragged out a plastic bag containing liquor and cooked beef from the cupboard, and the three of them drank wine while clutching the meat with their hands and munching on it.

Ding Jun silently weighed the situation, if he wanted to escape, he had to cut through the big net and kill three people. He could do all of this, and when he first fell into the trap, he had already used his fastest speed to hold a blade between his fingers, and it only took a few seconds to cut through the large net and get out of the trap. Then, when he lands, kill the pikemen first, grab the spear, shoot the small-eyed man at close range, and then leave the one-eyed man the only one alive.

These were his initial battle plans, but the three of them kept mentioning "Snow Maiden", which made him change his mind. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. He would wait in silence until the Snow Maiden showed up and figured out all the other party's plans before making a move. This is the ultimate solution.

After noon, the three of them had eaten and drunk enough, lowered the rope net from the beam, and dragged it back to the living room.

The small-eyed man lifted the scroll that copied Mencius's writings, revealing the white cipher disk embedded in the wall. He quickly pressed a password, and the couch in the northwest corner of the room moved silently, revealing a stone staircase that stretched underground.

The three of them dragged Ding Jun down the stone steps and into a huge cellar that exuded a strange smell. The cellar is thirty paces square, with tables and chairs poured in cement on the right, and a huge copper plate on the left, which is more than ten meters long and wide. The space under the copper plate is a rectangular pool filled with ashes.

The small-eyed man sighed: "You say, what's the use of Shi Miaoshou making such a device in the cellar?" Copper plate, carbon ...... Isn't he trying to make a copper plate barbecue?" After saying that, he laughed out loud at this cold joke he had created for himself.

The other two didn't laugh, and Ding Jun saw from the mesh that the pikeman and the one-eyed man had been exchanging glances, as if they were hiding another secret in their hearts.

They put Ding Jun on a copper plate, and then went to sit down on a cement chair.

The small-eyed man sniffed, frowned, and said, "I'm really going to be smoked to death, and I don't know where this strange smell came from—hey, why don't you speak?" Dumb?"

The Lancer laughed dryly, "No, I've been wondering just now, what is the 'Guge Divine Power' we've heard of?" Why do so many people in the world flock to this? A while ago, we went in and out of the ruins of the Guge Kingdom dozens of times, and explored hundreds of caves up and down the hill, but there was no result. If the old Guge people really had that kind of divine power, how could they disappear without a trace overnight? Then again, if the Snow Maiden and the High Priest have divine powers, why bother sending us? So I guess it's just a boring gimmick that spreads falsehoods, and there's no such thing in the world. ”

Ding Jun noticed that from beginning to end, this person did not close the safety bolt on the spear. That is, he was always ready to shoot at any time.

"I also talked to Lao Jin." "Old Jin is convinced of this—we all know that he has been to the back mountains, and he has seen the wall of the Heavenly Eye with his own eyes. He said that the ancient characters carved on the walls of the gods contained incomparably mysterious magic, and although he could not read them, he knew from some of the hieroglyphs that when the eyes of heaven shone brightly, the divine power would be revealed. However, he didn't know how the eye of heaven could shine. ”

Ding Jun listened silently, the blade skillfully swept over the net buckle of the rope net, cutting two-thirds of each rope under his body, and at the critical moment, he could get out of trouble in an instant.

"The Celestial Eye Wall, the Celestial Eye, the Divine Wall, the Guge Hieroglyphs." He memorized these keywords that he had never heard before.

He knew that the three of them were waiting for the Snow Maiden, and the real Armageddon would break out in an instant when all the other parties arrived. Whether it is one to three, one to five, or one to ten, he has confidence in himself to solve a qiē disaster, so that Zada County and Torin Monastery, which are far away on the border of Tibet, can return to peace and tranquility.

Old Kim also said that he had found a strange three-ring crescent moon mark in the Torin Temple, which was very strange. We all know that the strange sight of the three-ring crescent moon is only in—"

Before the one-eyed man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the small-eyed man: "Really? What does that sign look like? Did Lao Jin elaborate?"

The one-eyed man rolled up his sleeves and scratched the cement table with the nail of his index finger a few times, and his voice was so sharp that Ding Jun got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.

"The strangest thing is that there is also an Arabic numeral '16' in the center of this sign. Think about it, when we first saw the moon light in the Mirror Abyss, where could we find Arabic numerals on the scene?" The one-eyed man asked.

The small-eyed man jumped to his feet and circled around the table, his palms clapping.

"Hey, stop shooting, talk!" The one-eyed man cried out.

The small-eyed man stopped, his small eyes scorched, and he slapped it the table: "I figured it out, the Torin Temple is related to the Mirror Abyss, maybe someone once went to the Mirror Phantom Abyss, and when he passed by the Torin Temple on the way back, he left this mark there." Then, there must be some secret hidden in the mark, and it is not engraved at random. New Moon, New Moon, New Moon...... You say, "Why did this man carve three crescent moons, and not three full moons and half moons?" According to human drawing habits, the full moon is best drawn, and a circle can be drawn; Half moon is also easy to draw, just paint it like dumplings. As for the crescent moon, the two arcs are very close to each other, approximately overlapping ......"

Ding Jun's heart moved, feeling that what the other party said was very reasonable, but at the same time he was puzzled: "What kind of place are they talking about 'Mirror Illusion Abyss'?" How can there be three moons?"

It is conceivable that if the Ten Heavenly Eagles following the Snow Maiden were from Guge, the so-called "Mirror Abyss" must be somewhere deep in the snowy mountains.

"That's right, that's right." The pikeman and the one-eyed man nodded at the same time.

"So, what's in the Mirror Abyss? What's in the Torin?" The small-eyed man slapped the table again, "What are we waiting for?" Go to Torin Monastery right now! ”

The spearman and the one-eyed man shook their heads at the same time, "No, no, let's wait for the Snow Maiden to arrive."

The small-eyed man couldn't hold back his excitement, and slapped the table every time he said a word: "In the whole world, only the three moons can be seen in the mirror abyss...... The person who left the mark must have reminded the latecomers that something happened at the beginning of the new moon. The crescent moon represents time, but what about the sixteenth? Sixteen, sixteen, sixteen......"

Ding Jun was also thinking about the meaning of the mark, and he was puzzled by the Arabic numeral "16". Of course, he also hopes that the small-eyed man can reveal more details about the "Mirror Abyss" so that he can find it in the future.

The spearman pressed the thumb of his right hand on the trigger more than once, his eyes were cold, and he was already murderous. It's just that the light in the cellar is dim, and the small-eyed man is too excited to notice the change in his companion's demeanor.

"Think about it again, what's in the Mirror Abyss?" The small-eyed man answered the question, half spit and half revealed.

The one-eyed man was a little deflated: "What can be in the mirror abyss?" It is empty, and the birds and beasts are extinct. Don't you sell it, you want to kill the two of us?"

The pikeman sighed, "Well, I think you can really figure out something!" Playing tricks on the void makes me rejoice in the air. There are thousands of treasures in the world, and smart people can get mountains of gold and silver with a stroke of their hands, and they are busy to death every day like us, and they can't catch a single hair. ”

The small-eyed man lowered his head and smiled, and began to murmur again, "What happened to the Mirror Illusion Abyss?" When the new moon rises...... Why leave Arabic numerals? Whose mark is that marked......"

Ding Jun noticed that the small-eyed man has always been a bit of a sissy. Now, his hands are hanging from his waist, and his ten fingers are constantly making various movements of flexing and stretching, wheel flicking, orchid fingers, and flower fingers, and the tone of his voice is also timid. Even when talking to the One-Eyed Man and the Pikeman, his legs and feet are constantly shifting positions, like a female dancer warming up.

These strange expressions have all turned into countless subtle prompts, which came into Ding Jun's mind from his vision, and suddenly he suddenly opened: "Ah-yes, yes, dance...... Hoofer...... Dancer...... Dancer of Torin Temple, Sixteen Vajra Dancers of Torin Temple...... Yes, the Arabic numeral '16' represents the sixteen Vajra Dancers! ”
