Chapter 52: The Battle of the Families

The stone chamber is more than fifty meters long, follow Wu Jian all the way, and after a short time we arrived at the end, only to find that there is a large square pit below the end, to be precise, it is a super-large underground tomb. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The burial chamber was fifteen meters wide and forty meters long, and more than three meters above us, with two rope ladders hanging from it. The entire burial chamber is made of large bluestone with a width of one meter. Like the stone chamber we were in, the lamps on the walls of the tomb were lit at the moment, so we could see the general situation inside.

At the front of the burial chamber was a burial pit, the size of a bedroom, full of white bones of cows, sheep, chickens and ducks, mixed with a lot of pottery utensils, but there was no such thing as gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. Not far from the past, the burial pit is full of beast-shaped carvings of different heights, some white marble, some copper, the number is very large, almost the entire burial chamber is divided from the middle.

Beneath several collapsed stone sculptures, I saw dozens of corpses of foreigners, some of which had been broken into several pieces, and blood was scattered all over the ground, and at a glance I knew that they had been bombarded by grenades. I didn't see a single living person other than the corpses in one place, and I don't know if they were hiding, or if they went deeper into the burial chamber.

I still wanted to continue looking, Tan Jia led Biaozi and others to walk out from behind a stone sculpture next to me, and when they saw me, everyone showed the same surprised look as Wu Jian.

Tan Jia and the others also have a lot of wounds on their bodies, all of which were made by those human worms, but they have been treated simply, and it seems that when they were in the deep pit, there was also a change.

Everyone got together again, I was full of emotion in my heart, and I was very excited, I was about to say a few words to Biaozi and others, Tan Jia immediately waved my hand and asked me not to make a sound, she pointed to the tomb below, and whispered to me: "The third uncle and Mazi's people are down there, there are a lot of people, we can't be discovered by them, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I held back the excitement in my heart, nodded subconsciously, Tan Jia looked at me strangely, and said, "Didn't you let you wait on it, why did you come down with it?" ”

I didn't answer her question immediately, grabbed Sankra on the side, and said hurriedly: "Li Remnant is dying, you go over and take a look." ”

Li Yishan put down Li Cangge, who was still in a coma, from his back and said to me with some slush: "His breathing is very weak, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it, you have to be mentally prepared in this regard." ”

I nodded solemnly, my eyes fixed on Li Cangge's cheeks, and for a moment I remembered the scene when we were soldiers. At that time, we trained together, carried out tasks together, endured the punishment of the company commander together, secretly smoked together, in short, we would never be separated from what we could do together, and the friendship that was established bit by bit still makes me miss it to this day.

But now, this person who has had an unforgettable time with me is about to disappear forever, how can this make me not sad, and how can I calm down?

In the moment when I lost my mind, Sankla had already examined Li Cangge's body, he turned his head, and said apologetically in his eyes: "He has suffered extremely serious internal injuries, his chest cavity and back, and several bones have been broken. ”

Hearing Sankra's reply, I felt like someone had poured a basin of cold water on my head, and my whole body became cold, I held on to the last hope, turned my head to look at Wu Jian, and said in a pleading tone: "Didn't you have Gu worms on you that healed internal injuries, please, quickly take them out and let Li Remnantge eat a few, maybe his injuries will be healed soon, really, I believe in the curative effect of those Gu worms." ”

A rare look of guilt appeared on Wu Jian's face, and he said apologetically: "His injury is too serious, he is hopeless, whether he eats my Gu worm or not, the result is the same, you accept this fact, he is really not saved." ”

I softened all of a sudden, sat on the ground weakly, my head was in a mess for a while, and after a while, I came out of that trance, and I said in a little confusion: "How can I not be saved, why is this happening, why?" ”

Biaozi knew my temper, and he was afraid that I would do irrational things, so he stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, comforted me and said: "Lao Yang, you have done your best, the only thing we can do now is to avenge him, which is worthy of him." ”

I covered my cheeks with my hands, the grief in my heart was indescribable, and in the end, I was already sobbing in a daze, like a child who had lost his most beloved toy, crying extremely sadly, and incomparably aggrieved in my heart.

At this time, Li Huange suddenly let out a painful moan and began to wake up from his confused state, I subconsciously raised my head and looked at him with some excitement, but I couldn't say a word, and I didn't know what to say at this moment.

Li Cangge smiled bitterly at everyone, and then turned his head to look at me, perhaps seeing the clue from my expression, he said with a faint smile: "Lao Yang, I don't see the appearance of a man the most, don't let me underestimate you!" ”

I tried to put on a smiling face, and asked him in a trembling voice: "How do you feel about yourself, just say what you don't feel well, we have the best doctor here, no matter what is wrong, you can catch it, you can rest assured." ”

Li Cangge coughed lightly a few times, and coughed up a large ball of blood in his mouth, he shook his head and smiled faintly: "Don't comfort me, I think I'm dying, although I have never taken life and death seriously, but I just feel a little unwilling." The only thing I can't let go of now is my mother, she has lived too hard in her life, if you have the opportunity, you can take the time for me to see her and talk to her. ”

I nodded vigorously, reassuring him vigorously, and at this moment I couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears fell again. At the same time, a wave of anger rose in my heart, and I secretly swore in my heart that I would never be merciful when I met someone from the Mazi family again, and I would definitely let them pay the price they deserved and let them go to hell to atone for their sins.

Li Cangge may be too tired, after saying that, he gasped heavily, and then passed out again, it seems that he is really dying, maybe after this coma, he will never wake up again.

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, I calmed down, and then the standard asked: "Lao Yang, after we left, what happened to you, and why did Li Huange get this appearance?" ”

I said lightly: "After you left, the enemy came over again, and we were weak and had no power to fight back, so we had no choice but to flee into the waterhole for refuge, and then we found the entrance under the waterhole......

I was patient and told everyone about the cause and effect of the matter, and after they heard it, they were obviously taken aback, and the label said: "This time the matter is too big, it seems that the people of the Mazi family are determined to kill the third uncle." ”

I was about to ask him why he couldn't see the shadows of the two groups of people in the tomb below, but at this moment, there was a "Surprise!" from under the tomb. Suddenly! Suddenly! The sound of gunfire followed by the sound of grenades exploding.

Tan Jia's face was overjoyed, and she said excitedly: "It seems that they are starting to fight again, let's go over and see the situation." After she finished speaking, she was the first to go to the grave, looking very eager.

The grave was only a few meters away from us, and after a few steps, I, like everyone else, leaned down and looked down, and saw that there were seventy or eighty people in the stone sculpture in the middle of the tomb, and they were firing fiercely in front of them, and there were bullets flying from them.

Biaozi said with some worry: "These are Mazi's people, there are a lot of them, and the third uncle has less than twenty people left, and he is not an opponent at all, and he was forced to the back of that pool by Mazi's side." "Show me your finger when you finish speaking.

The pool mentioned by the sign was behind the beast-shaped carvings, and the width and length of the pool were six meters away, and there was half a pool of water in it. In the middle of the pool, there is an oval platform with a diameter of three meters, half a meter higher than the pool, with a huge carving on it, which occupies almost the entire area of the platform, and is more than six meters high.

The stone sculpture is shaped by nine dragons with teeth and claws, they form a circle, their tails are all intertwined, and their bodies are raised high, showing a momentum of soaring into the sky. The nine dragons opened their mouths and didn't know what kind of mechanism was installed, and an arm-thick column of water erupted from inside, landing on the tails of the nine dragons coiled together, and finally converging in the pool below.

On the coiled tails of the nine dragons, I saw a black coffin, at least more than twice the size of the coffins of ordinary people, and the body of the King of Dian must have been placed inside.

At this moment, two people were swimming into the pool, seeing that they were holding hammers and crowbars in their hands, presumably to open the coffin, but before they could climb the platform, they were hit by a hornet's nest of bullets flying from behind, and died in the pool.

At this time, a familiar figure came out from behind the stone carving, and I recognized it at once, that person was the third uncle who had not been seen for many days, he looked extremely embarrassed, and he was scolding loudly while shooting at the pockmarked side.

Seeing that the two subordinates who went to open the coffin died, the third uncle shouted at the people around him: "Tom and Chen Sheng are going to open the coffin, and the others are going to fight hard with me, we must suppress the other party's people, this is our last chance." ”

The third uncle may have been really angry, he disregarded his own safety, braved the enemy's bullets, and personally took the lead in battle. Probably inspired by him, his subordinates also adopted a desperate style of play and began to fight back frantically towards the Asako side.

But the number of people on Mazi's side was too much, but in a few minutes, half of the third uncle's men died, and the third uncle saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he had to give a loud order to let all the people hide.

Taking advantage of the scuffle just now, Tom and Chen Sheng had already touched the platform in the pool, but they did not dare to continue to climb up, because there was a sniper on the enemy's side aimed at them, as long as they made a move, bullets would fly past, and in desperation, they had to hide behind a giant dragon, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.

After the battle just now, more than a dozen people on Mazi's side died, but this did not change their absolute superiority in numbers, Sankra said worriedly: "There are only about ten people left in the third uncle, if there is another confrontation, it will inevitably be annihilated, I think it's time for us to make a move." ”

Li Yishan also said: "The big bald head is right, if the two tigers fight, one will die, and when the third uncle suffers, just rely on us and we are not the opponents of the Mazi side at all, I think we will take advantage of the sneak attack now." ”

Through Tan Jia's conversation, I learned that in fact, the scientific research team had already arrived here, and the reason why they were reluctant to do it was because they wanted the people below to lose both sides and pick up the dead fish at the last moment.

Tan Jia looked very patient, she said: "There are still more than 60 subordinates left on the Mazi side, and we don't have much chance of winning now." You can rest assured, the third uncle will never sit still, and will inevitably launch a final counterattack, and when the time comes, the number of people on the Mazi side will be greatly reduced, and at that time, it will be the best time for us to make a move. ”

I have a clever heart in my heart, Tan Jia, this little girl is really black-hearted, and she says that she is the most poisonous woman's heart, and now it seems that it is really true. I was evaluating Tan Jia's viciousness, and a one-armed man came out of the pockmarked side, and he was facing away from us, so I didn't see his face clearly, but I always felt that this person's back was very familiar, but I couldn't think of where I had seen it all of a sudden.

The one-armed man waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to fire for the time being, and then said loudly to the third uncle: "Third uncle, the one who knows the times is Junjie, the master is gone, if you are smart, turn against each other now, for the sake of the same root and the same origin, I will say a few good words for you in front of the fourth master, and let you go." If not, hum! Today, this place is your burial place. ”

As soon as I heard the hoarse voice of the one-armed man, my head buzzed, and the degree of surprise in my heart was almost at the peak, no wonder when I saw his back just now, I felt so familiar, it turned out to be the beast of Mazi, he was not dead!

I remember very clearly that when he was in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, this person was sealed in the Yongdao, and the three-eyed giant snake was also in that corridor at that time, if there was no accident, he should have become a delicious meal for the three-eyed giant snake. But now that he is here in a good manner, it can only show that the creation of this dog day is good, and in that case, he can still escape.

Except for me and Li Yishan, the rest of the scientific research team was relatively calm, and it was obvious that they had known about the existence of pockmarks for a long time.

Biaozi looked at my surprised look, and said jokingly: "Very surprised, to be honest, when I saw him for the first time, I was also greatly surprised, this dog's life is really hard, and it is indeed not easy to save a small life in that situation." ”

I nodded, approved the words of the standard, and at this time I only heard the third uncle reply: "You don't need to say it, even if I die, I will never betray the family, let alone betray the eldest master." Mazi, I advise you, the fourth master is not a good thing, he wants to kill even his own nephew for his own selfishness, you know so many secrets about him, sooner or later he will be wiped out, don't you still see your situation clearly? ”

Mazi said in a cold tone: "Those who achieve great things are not informal." The eldest lord is too idle in this life, not to mention that he has no ambitions, and even the existing achievements of the family have begun to be unable to be maintained, if he continues to do this, the family will perish sooner or later. But the fourth master is different, he is dedicated to the revival of the family as the mission, and has the lofty ideal of entering the political circles of various countries, over time, sooner or later he will become a hegemon, the family is in need of such a talented person, we are slaves, of course, we must go all out to support. ”

The third uncle laughed coldly, and said after a long time: "If our family keeps hiding, it will only become more and more prosperous, but if we enter the political arena, all our strength will be immediately exposed, and once it is discovered by careerists from all countries, the family will become the target of public criticism, and eventually go to the road of destruction." This is not only the opinion of the great master, but also the bloody lesson ahead, have you forgotten how several other big families in the world perished? ”

Mazi snorted: "The times are different, and the eldest master still sticks to the rules, so that the family is really pushed to the brink of extinction." You yourself touched your conscience and said, since the Opium War, how has our family developed? Is it starting to go downhill? I dare to assert that if the family does not change, it will decline within a hundred years, which is inevitable. ”

The third uncle knew that it was impossible for Mazi to agree with the eldest master, and said angrily: "It's completely crooked, for thousands of years in the family, there are not a few patriarchs who have had this kind of idea like you, but if it is really implemented, which time did it not end in failure?" If it weren't for the fact that our ancestors had left a lot of old books, our Li family, like other big families in the world, would have perished three hundred years ago. ”

Mazi laughed coldly, he laughed a little arrogant, even more crazy, for a long time, he said: "No matter how much you say, it can't change the current situation of the family." Now that the eldest lord is a dying man, and you have not yet found a recipe for the elixir of life, it is destined that the eldest lord will inevitably hand over the position of patriarch. And in the family, in addition to the eldest master, the person who is most likely to become the patriarch can only be the fourth master, do you still expect the vegetative man lying on the bed to be the patriarch? ”

"Shameless!" The third uncle scolded, and then said viciously: "It was born from the same root, so why be in a hurry to fry each other." If it weren't for the fourth master to get in the way, how could something like that happen to the young master, you rebellious ministers and thieves, sooner or later there will be retribution. ”

Hearing this, all of us were stunned, and it was only now that we suddenly woke up to the fact that the third uncle and Mazi, who had always been incompatible, turned out to be from the same family, an ancient family surnamed Li. (To be continued.) )
