Chapter 24: Cooperation

A bluestone path bridges the way to the underworld, and the rushing river shouts and cheers below, and every step is terrifying.

Wang Zijin walked on the stone bridge carefully, the wind on the river blew her left and right, even Wang Zijin walked so hard, and the fat man was even more embarrassed to carry Luo Yan on his back, but fortunately, this ancient stone bridge was built quite firmly, and there were no traces of cracking. When approaching the mouth of the glowing cave, Wang Zijin noticed that there were many huge gears turning at the bottom of the river, and these gears were tightly linked one by one, even if they were soaked in water for thousands of years, there was no sign of corrosion, and he had to admire the manufacturing ability of the ancients.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, the fat man wiped a cold sweat. Wang Zijin observed the traces of the cave entrance and said, "This hole was not left by the person who built the tomb, it was dug out from the inside by someone else." ”

"What do you mean?" The fat man didn't understand these things, and he didn't know what Wang Zijin was talking about.

"You see there are a lot of holes in this wall, there must have been something loaded at that time, and this path is not the way into the tomb, it can only mean that this is a transportation place when the tomb was built, and the waste materials are transported out through the dark river, and then the stone from the opposite side is brought in, and after the tomb is completed, the tomb is blocked. There are two possibilities for digging this hole, one is that the ancient tomb builders, the tomb owners in order not to let their tombs be discovered, often trap the tomb builders in the tomb, the tomb workers will also be on guard, leaving a way for themselves to live, this kind of road is called the mountain road, out of the mountain, escape to ascend to heaven. Wang Zijin analyzed to the fat man, "Another possibility, this place should be dug up by our predecessors, but I don't know the purpose of his digging here." ”

"What are you doing with so much, Li Jiu is coming over, let's hurry in!" As he spoke, the fat man picked up Luo Yan and walked inside.

"Don't be impulsive, fat!" Wang Zijin stopped the fat man and said, "Lao Luo is unconscious now, you can't run far with him, our bag and tools are in Li Jiu's hands, there are many mechanisms in the tomb, and if you don't have tools, you have to die in the tomb." ”

"You mean, we have to wait for Li Jiu's bastard to come over!" The fat man shouted angrily.

"If you want Lao Luo to live, you have to wait for Li Jiu to come over, this is the only way." Wang Zijin said helplessly.

"This!" The fat man clucked with both hands, punched the mountain wall, venting his emotions, he was in a bad mood now, he had no strength but nowhere to go, he could only be at the mercy of others.

Li Jiu arrived with people, and some unlucky people fell into the dark river, and the sound of the waves covered everything, and life and death were unknown.

Looking at Wang Zijin and the two, Li Jiu asked with interest, "Why didn't you two escape, or was there any conspiracy in it?" ”

"We've got you here, now we're going to make a deal with you." Wang Zijin said.

"Deal, what deal?" Li Jiu looked at Wang Zijin with interest.

"I need medicine to save Lao Luo, and you need our help, and only with our help can you escape the mechanism in the tomb." Wang Zijin and Li Jiu discussed the terms of the exchange.

"yes, I'm here to see how horrible it is and bring them in." Li Jiu said and went into the hole.

In the cave, the turbid air made it difficult to breathe, the dark blue flames kept beating because of the intrusion of people, and people's faces became iron blue because of the light of the fire, like a born dead person. In my ears was the sound of sharp knives and axes breaking through the air and chopping, "click, click" white bones all over the ground, piled up into hills, and the severed human heads, row by row, row by row, neatly inserted into black wooden sticks, were dried into jerky.

The fat man walked in with Luo Yan on his back and Wang Zijin.

"Hahahahaha, you said that in such a broken place, I also need you to lead the way, you are looking down on me!" Li Jiu smiled and smiled, suddenly looked at Wang Zijin coldly, and said without emotion.

"Without us, you can't get in here, without me" Wang Zijin was interrupted by Li Jiu before she finished speaking.

"But when I come in, what do you want you to do," Li Jiu said coldly, "What are you doing here, are you going to harm me?" You know this so well, it's not easy to kill me! Li Jiu made a neck wiping motion to his subordinates, and his subordinates held guns at the fat man, wanting to kill the fat man

The fat man whispered in my ear what had happened, and I was a little dizzy when I heard it.

Li Jiu walked over and said happily, "Brother Luo woke up, you scared my little brother to death, I thought I would never see my big brother again!" ”

Looking at Li Jiu's coy appearance, if it weren't for the fat man telling me the truth of the matter, I would really think he was my brother. "Li Jiu, Ming people don't say secret words, some things should be clarified now!" I said weakly.

"Big brother is doing things well, and I don't hide it from my big brother. I've already entered here, and I don't need a big brother anymore, big brother, you can go with peace of mind. I respect my eldest brother's personality, so let me personally send my eldest brother on the road! After Li Jiu finished speaking, he held the gun to my head, and the cold barrel of the gun was the same as Li Jiu's eyes, and there was no emotion.

"Hahaha, it's good to be dead! Don't be so tired when you're dead! Let me go to hell with the secret art of immortality, hahaha" I didn't stop until I was out of breath.

Li Jiu looked at me gloomily, "What do you mean?" ”

"Li Jiu, I'm also a dying person, and I won't hide it from you. The old man two years ago was my grandfather, this tomb is the ancestral tomb of my family, in this tomb there is the art of immortality, there is the wealth of several generations of my family, without me, you will not get anything! I shouted frantically.

"You're lying to me, you're lying, I'll kill you!" Li Jiu was about to pull the trigger when he held the gun.

"You hit! Let me die! When I'm dead, there's nothing, and you don't want to get anything! I looked at Li Jiu calmly, looking fearless.

Li Jiu didn't start, looked at me, and said, "Brother Luo, you are a smart person, you can deceive others, you can't deceive me." If this was your ancestral tomb, you wouldn't have inquired about Yama Mountain when you came, you wouldn't have been in Anzhizhai for a few days without moving, and you wouldn't have the half-dead appearance you have now. ”

"Pretended, everything is pretended. Our descendants of the Locke family are cursed, they will not live to be twenty-two years old, and they must come to the ancestral tomb to learn the art of immortality in order to live, and I am now at the end of the day. I said slowly, as if to confess my last words, "When I first came here, I asked you about Yama Mountain, because I wanted to know what changes had happened to the mountains in this area. The reason why I didn't move for a long time was because Li Laohan, who was the grave keeper of our family, told me about Yama Mountain, and I also came over to make sure that the gate of the underworld was blown up and couldn't be opened, so I didn't do anything. It's just that I didn't expect you to do it so early, and this is in your hands. ”

"Even if what you say is true, what proof do you have?" Li Jiu still didn't believe me.

"I have a piece of ancient jade in my bag, that is the key to opening this tomb, you can take it, I won't lie to you." I looked at the bag.

General Li Jiu took the bag suspiciously and took out the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, "What is the use of this jade?" ”

"It's the key that opens the last door, and you can't get in without it." I tried everything possible to make up lies, and Li Jiu finally believed me.

"Brother Luo, what do you want to do?" Li Jiu asked.

"We cooperate, I will show you the way, help you solve the difficulties on the road, I will give you the wealth of the entire tomb and the art of immortality, and I just need to live." I looked at Li Jiu as sincerely as I could.

"Okay, we'll make up our minds, then you guys will lead the way!" Although Li Jiu compromised, he did not fully believe what I meant.

"You've got to give us the tools back, or we're not going to be able to move forward." I asked for it.

Li Jiu looked at me suspiciously, "You can take away your gun, but the tools in your bag must be returned to us." "I gave Li Jiu a reassuring pill.

"Let the woman come over, give them back the bag, and let them go ahead." Li Jiu gave the order.

Wang Zijin, the fat man walked up to me, watched their injuries suffer a lot, and then, the bitter battle really began.
