Chapter 62: The Gate of Hell under the Statue of the Witch King (2)
On the river beach we passed yesterday, a familiar figure appeared, the dark green camouflage uniform was stained with blood, especially the arm was stained with blood, and the bloody red stained the stream that flowed beside him.
Jiang Yuan walked faster than me, and he got there first, crouching beside the corpse, silent.
I stopped about two meters away from the corpse and did not dare to step forward, and several times I tried to take a step forward, but my legs were as heavy as my heart as if they were filled with lead.
"Is that him?" I asked Jiang Yuan, and the voice was so small that I couldn't even hear it.
Jiang Yuan looked up at me, his expression was a little strange, I looked at him like this for nearly half a minute, he suddenly threw me something, I took it and looked, it turned out to be a key.
"It's Xiaoliang, my brother."
Jiang Yuan said the word "brother" very seriously, and it could be seen that he was very uncomfortable in his heart.
This is a young man in his early twenties, and what surprised me even more was that this person was not Jiang Yuan's so-called cronies at all, but his roommate in college, and he came this time because he wanted to see it, so Jiang Yuan disguised him as a member of the team and mixed in the first team.
When I looked at the corpse, I saw bullet holes in both legs and severed hands, so it was no wonder that I mistook it for a gnats in the first place, because the flesh below the elbow joint was blurred with blood, as if it had been bitten by something.
Jiang Yuan sat next to the corpse, very indifferently watching the blood-red stream flowing past his feet, Old Brother Li took off his white vest and put it on Xiao Liang's face, turned his head to us and said, "Does he have a family?" ”
Jiang Yuan shook his head silently, "No, Old Brother Li, please find a place to bury my brother properly, and when I solve everything, I will come to pick him up and go home." ”
After saying this, Jiang Yuan walked in the direction of the cave without looking back, I listened to his tone like the calm before the eruption of a volcano, and I couldn't help but be a little worried about him, knowing that I couldn't stop him, so I could only go with him.
Before leaving, I said to Brother Li: "Brother, although we have never known each other, I still want to ask you, first, to forget that we have been here, but to help us bury this little brother, make a mark, we will find it ourselves in the future." ”
After speaking, I caught up with Jiang Yuan again, asked him for the black bank card he wanted to give me before, and forced it to Brother Li, "The password is the first six digits of Arabic numerals, and it will be indefinite." ”
Jiang Yuan didn't wait for me, turned around and continued walking, he didn't have time to say anything, he turned around and chased after me.
At the entrance of the cave, Mu Zhuo chased after me, she stuffed me with two backpacks, and said, "Here are the things you need, and besides, look at that notebook before you go in, maybe it will help." ”
I nodded in agreement, and she looked at us, changed the medicine for my wound one last time, and said, "This cave is visited every year, but there is no entry or exit, and I hope you will fulfill your grandfather's wish." ”
"Don't worry, if I can come out alive once, I can come out alive a second time, Doctor Mu Zhuo, you can go back."
Mu Zhuo glanced at Jiang Yuan and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at us silently and turned to leave.
The cold wind in front of the cave made the hairs stand on end, Jiang Yuan and I both had a civilian flashlight in our backpacks, as well as three spare batteries, I turned on the flashlight and observed the situation on both sides as I walked.
This is a man-made cave, and some traces of murals can be faintly seen on both sides of the cave wall, and in some corners of the cave, I can even see traces of fire, Jiang Yuan said, which may have been left by those people who left it before.
We walked for about half an hour when I suddenly stopped and asked him, "Are you sure this is the road to the Netherworld?" Aren't we too impulsive. ”
Jiang Yuan took a flashlight in his mouth, sat down against the rock wall, opened his notebook and said, "When you were outside last night, I studied this notebook in the house for a night, this notebook was written by a native master, and he also wrote about the Netherworld Palace in the notebook, you see." ”
I took the notebook, and Jiang Yuan pointed out to me on the page with only one sentence, "The Witch King sat down and protected the four Dharma Protectors, and took Chang'an in the east and extended to the sea in the north." ”
"Just by saying this, are you sure that this cave is the gateway to the Netherworld?"
"This sentence alone will definitely not work, because I know the second half of the sentence." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he got up and continued to walk inside.
I knew that at this moment, he would not answer me even if I asked him, so I chose to believe him.
The cave gets narrower and narrower, and the more oppressive the environment becomes, which may be the reason for the thin air, and you will be out of breath after a few quick steps.
Suddenly, there was a little fire in front of me, and then I saw a figure flashing, Jiang Yuan and I turned off the flashlight, and cautiously touched the rock wall and walked forward.
The cave grew shorter and shorter, and at last we had to crawl forward, but by this time we had come very close to the light of the torches.
Jiang Yuan and I drilled out of this cave mouth one after another, and everything outside the cave, although it was shrouded in endless darkness, the surrounding environment told me that this place was big, big.
We climbed down the huge rock little by little, and when we got a little bit down, I suddenly heard the voices of the people below.
The male voice: "Useless things, I can't look at anyone, in case he escapes and leaves a living mouth, wouldn't it be a big deal." ”
Everyone: I'm sorry, boss, we just slept for a while, but we didn't expect the kid to be gone.
Male voice: "A bunch of trash." ”
Female voice: "Don't worry, he won't live for a few hours, don't forget, too much blood in the human body will also kill people." ”
Male voice: "That's good, I don't want this matter to get out, is the thing in hand?" ”
Female voice: "It's here, the three phoenix eyes have been collected, and the task can finally be completed." ”
Male voice: "You behaved very well this time, don't go to the old man's cultivation of you, and after you go back, you can also get what you want." ”
Hearing this, I had already guessed everything, and when I was about to talk to Jiang Yuan, I found that he had already descended the rock to another place, and that distance was close to those people.
"Why are these post-90s generations so uncomposed, isn't this self-defeating?"
I complained on my lips, but I was very anxious in my heart, but I had a shoulder injury and was unable to move, so I could only rub down the rock little by little, and when I reached the position where Jiang Yuan appeared just now, the others were gone.
In a hurry, he ventured to turn on the flashlight, which did not play a role in this extremely dark environment, and the lighting range was very narrow.
"Jiang Yuan, don't be impulsive, you kid." I muttered quietly, but suddenly I felt someone behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Jiang Yuan back here, and he was like me, lying behind this rock, watching everything below.
"Can you kid let the adults save some worry, what are you running around?" I grumbled.
Jiang Yuan stared down with his eyes and whispered, "I just went down to see how many people they have and how much equipment they have. ”
I asked him, "And then?" ”
"I stole two of them, we'll need them later."
I let out an "ah" in my heart and whispered, "You can steal too, what have you stolen, give it to me." ”
Jiang Yuan pointed back with his thumb and said, "Behind you." ”
I was about to turn around and open my backpack to take a look, when I suddenly heard several gunshots, accompanied by several men's shouts, "Who's up there, come down." ”
