Chapter 45: Meet Again
There were many people in the fog and shadows, and I silently counted about a dozen people in the water, counting the number of people in the Thousand Tigers convoy before, about the same.
Holding the dagger behind me and slowly approaching the nearest black shadow, I reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled it into the water, the person may have been startled by me, and his reaction was slow for a second or two after falling into the water, it was this second or two of time, I grabbed him with my backhand, and his head was under the water for about thirty seconds before I lifted it out of the water.
"Don't move."
The man was so obedient that he really didn't move, so I took him farther away, put a dagger to his throat, and whispered, "Tell your people, get out of here at once." ”
The man coughed twice and said, "I don't have permission." ”
The gunfire was heavy again, and I knew that this was the last shootout, because everyone was running out of ammunition in their equipment.
"Then let me ask you, what about Jiang Yuan?"
The man choked on the water, gasped for breath and adjusted his breathing, and said, "He is in the first team, and he has already passed the ghost pit." ”
I pressed him into the water again, and he struggled for a long time and finally stopped moving.
Quietly swam back to the position just now, holding on to the rocks by the pit and waiting for the opportunity, and at this time, another man in black was thrown here, I also dragged him into the pool, and pressed the gourd into the water, and at this time the gnats ran over and pulled me out, and led me to run in the direction of the left, Zhang Yang also followed after the last bullet, and at the same time, there were footsteps behind us.
I can feel that we are swimming against the current at the moment, but there is only one way here, and it is absolutely impossible to retreat, after all, the enemy is outnumbered, even if it is hand-to-hand combat, we will not necessarily win, because the people of Qianhu are also elites from the Jiang Baichuan concentration camp. Although it is not as good as Jiang Yuan and the four of them, it is not too bad.
The grasshopper's hand kept clutching my wrist, and Zhang Yang scurried from the back to the front, and the red light reappeared as our guiding light, and I also knew a secret that I didn't know before. That is, this earring also has the ability to detect, and when it is activated, it will receive signals from a distance of 100 meters.
At the end of this passage is a huge stone wall with exits on both sides. Left or right, again we are faced with a choice.
"Wait." The grasshopper suddenly stopped in front of the stone wall on that side.
Zhang Yang turned on the miner's lamp, there was not much power left, and the time display light was already on, although it could be used for five minutes.
There are still murals on the stone wall, and they are unfinished murals, and the beautiful lines outline the artistic conception of a beautiful landscape. In the hinterland of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and white clouds, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens on a high platform is underway, and at the same time, there seems to be a touch of gold on the clouds on the horizon, what is the meaning of the mural? I asked myself in my heart, it would never be as simple as we seem.
Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the passage on the left with a dagger in his hand, looking behind us with a solemn expression, "Qianjue." Be fast,"
I immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Yang's words. Unloading his backpack and holding all the weapons he could use, he stood at the entrance of the passage on the right, while his eyes were watching the path we had come, and the strongest light sense of the spotlight could detect up to ten meters away.
The Grasshopper took out his tools from his backpack, which were inseparable from the Grasshopper, and in the few minutes he spent restoring the mural, my nose was sore and a few tears fell.
The speed at which the grasshopper restored the mural was very fast. When he was finished, I saw that the artistic conception of the mural in front of me had completely changed.
The green mountains and green waters are already scorched black and flowing fire, and the sacrificial ceremony on the high platform, thousands of white-clothed girls knelt there, and their white hair formed the clouds I saw. And the golden touch on the clouds high up was the Yellow Spring Staff, and the faint golden light it emitted was enveloping all this.
The Grasshopper sighed deeply, "This is the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony, and the Palace of the Death of Prince Duhe really exists. ”
Zhang Yang's mood was quite heavy, and he said: "Is there really a saying in the world that crosses the soul?" ”
The gnats shook their heads and said: "It can't be verified yet, but from the information we have in the past few years, Qianhu's people have mastered some important data, Qianyu said something when he finally contacted me, now that I think about it, Qianhu is using Qianyu to pass fake news to me, so as to lure you into the game, I think, the reason why they want to take the drops in the water should be the West Sea Underwater City, and"
He suddenly looked at me and said, "Boss, you must take the Huangquan Staff well, no matter what happens, you just need to remember that the Huangquan Staff is in your hand, you are safe, and before you reach the Luoyun Palace, the Huangquan Staff must not leave your body." ”
I nodded and asked, "What about after that?" ”
Zhang Yang said in a somewhat heavy tone: "If I guessed correctly, Qianhu will keep the Huangquan Staff in your hand, also so that you can reach the Falling Cloud Cave alive, but after you arrive, it is very likely that you will be the sacrifice of the Falling Water Beads." ”
"What?" I looked at him incredulously, "Sacrifice? Sacrifice me as a pig's head. ”
The Grasshopper nodded and looked at me by default, "It should be." ”
I carried my backpack and carried it again, smiled, and said, "Whatever, anyway, that old guy is going to meet us sooner or later, his wishful thinking is destined to fail when he meets me, don't forget, the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice is something that our Xiao family has guarded for generations, without me, no one can think of opening it." ”
After hearing this, the grim expressions on the faces of the Grasshopper and Zhang Yang softened a lot, maybe in their hearts, this was my only bargaining chip to save my life.
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, the distance advantage that had just been thrown off had disappeared, and the grasshopper spilled a handful of powder at the last moment, and the mural melted immediately after touching the powder, as if it had been corroded.
As always, we chose the left, because the grasshopper also thinks that the left is respected, and in the case of two to one, I admit defeat.
The passage on the left is like a naturally formed cave, the craters formed by water droplets are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will break your foot, I limped behind them, and the grasshopper repositioned my foot, but fortunately the bone was not broken, but it was twisted, and now I smeared some medicinal wine, which was much better.
It's very quiet here, the sound of water dripping is clearly discernible, Zhang Yang walks in front, and I and I are behind, at this moment I really feel the meaning of the real two words, Grasshopper, this little guy who was picked up by me and put in the shop, this counterfeiter who has lived with me for two years, I have always thought that I have picked up a treasure, with him, my shop will have a steady stream of business, thinking that although I have no parents to take care of in this life, but having a good brother to accompany is also a compensation, but I never thought of it, This surprise from the sky was indeed the beginning of a life-changing fate.
The gnats held me along, as the men didn't catch up, and there was nothing nearby that threatened us for the time being, and the exhausted three began to slow down.
I glanced at the grasshopper, he was still as calm and handsome as before, but he had lost a little weight, and there was a little more mystery in his eyes, which may have something to do with the fact that he had regained his memory and regained his feelings.
"Qianjue." I whispered.
The grasshopper looked sideways at me, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”
I laughed and said, "Don't call me boss in the future, I'm embarrassed, besides, I'm a waste dim sum, where do I have any qualifications to be your boss." ”
After hearing this, the grasshopper actually smiled happily and said, "Waste snacks? Boss, when did you learn to blacken yourself? ”
I was stunned for a moment, he looked at me, and his expression suddenly became very solemn: "Boss, in Qianjue's heart, you are my eldest brother, since you picked me up, I have regarded you as my eldest brother, for the rest of my life." ”
I said, "However, at that time, you didn't know who you were at all, even my name was given to you, and I also gave you a fake ID card, how can you compare with you now?" ”
Qianjue smiled, looked ahead quite indifferently, and said: "What about me now, it's just a few more zeros in the account, boss, when did you become so cautious, to be honest, I have lived with Qianyu since childhood, but we are indeed two completely different people, he chases fame and fortune, and I yearn for family affection, back then, Jiang Baichuan asked for someone from Qianhu's side, and Qianhu sent me out, and since then, Qianyu has been haunted by this matter. ”
I was a little confused and asked, "However, Qianyu knew that after you had an accident in the Tomb of the Western Night King, you were so angry that you almost killed me and Jiang Yuan. ”
Zhang Yang said on the side: "That's because Qianjue is his eldest brother in the end, and he is related by blood, but this doesn't mean that they are single-minded, don't you even understand this?" ”
"Understand what?" I asked him.
Zhang Yang stopped, looked back at me and said, "If Qianhu kills Jiang Yuan, what kind of mood will you have." ”
I immediately blurted out, "He dares, Lao Tzu cut that old miscellaneous hair with a thousand knives." ”
Zhang Yang and the gnatwood laughed at the same time, "That's it, Jiang Yuan has not only the blood of the Jiang family, but also the blood of your Xiao family, and the strength of blood relationship is the only emotion that human beings cannot cut off." ”
I sneered and said to myself: "No wonder Jiang Baichuan is so active in giving birth to a son, cultivating a son emotionally is far more secure than cultivating outsiders, after all, there is no reason for a son to kill Lao Tzu." (To be continued.) )
