Chapter 8: The Secret of the Ancient Road

The corpse that will go, the black worm with long hair, this makes me have to think of everything I have experienced in Yunnan, thinking of Yunnan, thinking of the underground star palace, thinking of Jiang Yuan, whose life and death are unknown now, I suddenly feel that in the dark, I have already been in a huge whirlpool, but there is a force around me to protect, so that I have lived a free life for more than 20 years, and now, this force that protects me is gone, and these people who are waiting for opportunities around me have begun to enter my life, maybe, That's what my uncle said, fate.

The corpse lay flat on the ground and moved slowly, everyone was dumbfounded, the gnats and I tacitly pulled out the short knife in the boot, and inserted it in front of and behind the corpse before and after, it was strange to say, maybe because the short knife blocked the corpse, and now it finally didn't move.

Zhang Yang and I, as well as the grasshopper, stood at the head of the corpse, and the foot in the middle respectively, Zhang Yang also took out the short knife in his boot and stretched it into the back of the corpse, he counted the seconds like Jiang Yuan and Zhang Yuan, they all liked to use numbers, and their incomparably incomparable eyes when they counted the seconds were exactly the same.

"Boss Xiao." The grasshopper called softly.

"Huh?" I'm in a trance.

"What are you thinking? Whatever you're thinking, you have to concentrate now, we'll work together to turn the body over, pay attention. ”

The tone of his voice was not reproachful, but caring, much like when he was in the shop.

Underneath the corpse, dense black caterpillars, these insects have eaten all the flesh and skin on the back of the corpse, and the white bones of the forest are terrifying to look at.

Zhang Yang leaned closer to observe the black caterpillars with the miner's lamp, I was worried that he would be attacked by the caterpillars, and wanted to go up to remind him, but the gnats grabbed me, and he shook his head at me silently, meaning not to say more.

Everyone gathered quietly on the side, Zhang Yang gently picked up a black caterpillar with the long nails of his little finger, and I found out that the nails of this guy's little thumb were surprisingly long, as if they were the armor worn by the harem concubines in the TV series, and the hairy hair chong curled up on his nails, and after a while, he straightened up and fell on the sand, dying.

"Brothers, our first stop, the Gulan Station, has been found, leave a team of people to clean the quicksand at the entrance, and follow me for the rest."

Zhang Yang's order is like a holy decree here, whether it is right or wrong, these people are unconditionally obeyed, a dozen or so guys get the order and go to the direction of the exit, while the remaining seven or eight people and the three of us continue to walk along the underground passage under the leadership of Zhang Yang.

During this period, I kept reminding everyone not to approach the walls on both sides, but even so, after we walked for about five or six minutes, there were still guys who were plotted by this caterpillar, but fortunately, the grasshoppers reacted very quickly and helped them take out the worm body that had been drilled under the skin in time, which could be regarded as saving their lives.

This passage extends straight down, and the further down it goes, the thinner the sand layer under his feet, and the walls on both sides are getting more and more strange, at first it was still very ordinary earthy yellow, and the mural began to appear at the back, the grasshopper is very sensitive to the mural, he suddenly stopped everyone after looking at it for a while, and Zhang Yang, who was walking in the front, immediately turned back after hearing the sound of the grasshopper.

Zhang Yang looked at the gnats with a smile, "Mr. Qian." ”

The grasshopper was engrossed in holding his own tools and began to restore the mural, this scene, I just saw a few months ago, the grasshopper at that time, also in this way in the crisis situation to restore the mural as quickly as possible, now he, I don't know what kind of picture will be restored for us.

Time passed minute by minute, and during this time, everyone stood around the gnats with concentrated concentration, without any slackness.

I can't help but sigh that Zhang Yang's men are much stronger than the bunnies that Jiang Yuan brought with him to Yunnan, at least everyone is loyal, and in the ten minutes or so that the mural is restored, they are like an iron wall protecting him and the mural that is about to be completed. ”

Zhang Yang had been standing behind the grasshopper, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly walked out of the protective circle, and when he saw me alone in a daze, he came to chat with me.

"It's the first time Boss Xiao has seen such a shocking scene."

I looked at the grub in silence and said, "No, in Yunnan, we stumbled into a Shang and Zhou tomb, where we encountered some situations, and in case of emergency, he also used his toolbox to restore a whole mural in just twenty-four minutes, so that I could understand the mystery from the mural, open the mechanism, and save everyone." ”

Zhang Yang was slightly surprised, but he still looked at the gnats with a smile and said, "Qian Jue's best result is that when he was nineteen years old, he restored a mural about fourteen meters long in an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, do you know how much time it took him?"

I didn't even think about it, "9 minutes." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head with a little regret, "It's 8 minutes and 55 seconds." ”

I smiled and didn't say much.

It took 33 minutes to restore the mural this time, which was already a slow result for him, but everyone present still exclaimed, Zhang Yang and I rushed over immediately, my eyes widened, I could hardly believe what I saw in front of me.

The whole mural is mainly black and white, in the rolling black clouds, a miserable white face is hidden under the black clouds, and the eyes are slightly open, overlooking the earth.

In the mural, the part representing the ground is black, and the white bones are piled up, and the black and white colors add to the weirdness of this mural.

Pale and exhausted, he retrieved the tools he was using in his kit and simply wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands.

"Good work." Zhang Yang is like a proud peacock, "It opened the eyes of my brothers." ”

I could see that he was tired, so I took him away from the mural under the pretext of getting him water, and found a quieter place to watch him gulp water, and the familiar feeling returned.

"Isn't your kid's hand injury still healed, otherwise, it took you so long to spend so long on such a simple mural, and this grade is not good."

I was joking, as if it had touched him something, and the grasshopper was silent for a moment, touched his injured arm with his hand, and said: "The injury to my arm has not affected me, and the reason why I have used it for so long is mainly because the artistic conception of this painting is too difficult to control." ”

"Mood?"

When Zhang Yang heard my words, he walked slowly from the mural, and said as he walked: "Although this mural is simple, the artistic conception it wants to express is the key to this mural. ”

I asked, "What is this mood?" Zhang Dashao might as well say it, let our elders see. ”

The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth rose, and he waved his big hand, "A team of brothers is digging sand, we can't stay here and waste time, Boss Xiao, the key to Yin and Yang in the Gulan Trade Road is in the Gulan Station, we will go to the Gulan Station first to see, maybe it can pave a shortcut to the Tomb of the King of the West Night for us." ”
