Chapter 52: The Mist of Death
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging on the hill in the west, which was an interesting scene: it was like a person holding an umbrella, and the edge of the umbrella was hanging countless falling raindrops, which was the rest of the territory of Anxian County, and the scorching sun was directly above the umbrella, and it was precisely because of this astronomy that it led to another spectacle: a just right round rainbow surrounded the entire Merlin Reservoir, like the sun halo above the head of the immortal Fazun, Jia Daoist and Li Jing were sitting in the final mobilization, using this celestial phenomenon as a reason for agitation, Their warriors are to march to hell with their chests puffed up.
Ten brave men were to be chosen, not a punishment but a symbol of great glory for an organization like the Rakmon. In Li Jing's words, in this era, if you want to get a higher status than others, you have to pay more price. This is an ancient traditional organization, which pays attention to the distinction between merit and fault, rewards that should be rewarded, and punishments that should be punished, and almost everyone is excited to go to the dark world in person.
The selection process seems to be very fair, Mr. Jia adopts the method of drawing life and death lots, and the person who is drawn is full of red light and immediately becomes the object of envy of others, only the fat man looks at this incitement scene from a distance and says disdainfully: "This old thing is born to do pyramid schemes, waiting for them only tigers and wolves and no sheep, I really think that I am going to serve the organization." ”
It had already been prepared at noon, and Li Jing had almost moved a small arsenal, and the contents were simply staggering. But for them at most, the fat man is a little excited, and the ones he chooses are all high-quality goods, and his only requirement is to let everyone bring more explosives as much as possible, and several experiences have told him that this thing can not only open the door but also save his life when it is critical! Feng Qiyun chose some commonly used medicines, these drugs are all high-end imports, and some injections can even bring the dead back to life, while Ye Qiu and Cha Wenbin are empty-handed, which also reflects the different mentality of the two people: one is thinking about going to fight happily and completely reckless about the consequences, while the other is worried that he will suffer heavy casualties.
Four people plus Jia Daoshi and a group of ten people, a total of fifteen people, in the words of the fat man, this is a reinforced assault team that goes deep behind enemy lines, whether it is firepower configuration or spell blessing, it has reached a near-perfect realm, any demon and monster will have to go back to burn high incense if they want to escape.
It was true that there was a meal of Zhuangxing wine before leaving, but a bite of this bowl was water. The fat man was a little dissatisfied and said, "Jia liar, what about the good Zhuangxing wine?" ”
Daoist Jia pointed to his head and said, "Keep a clear head at all times, Li Jing will prepare a celebration banquet for you, and he will serve you the best wine on my behalf." "Sounds like you mean it's really going to be gone?"
Daoist Jia turned to look at the ten brothers and shouted, "Do any of you plan to come back alive?" ”
"Nope!" Hundreds of people in the audience shouted in unison, and the screams made people feel shocked and frightened. However, Daoist Jia said: "No, you all have to come back alive, your families are waiting for your return, your brothers are looking forward to your victory, warriors, follow the footsteps of the martyrs, go to take back their lost dignity, and let their wandering souls rest forever!" ”
The dark steps had just been washed by the rain, and some people had entered it decades ago with curiosity, and those walls still had the marks of that year, which Lu Liang said had been made all the way through with red paint. The fat man felt that this would make it difficult to speak of, a chamber that had already been trodden by, and in the past he had no interest in going down.
Because it has been soaked in the bottom of the lake for many years, the bricks and stones on both sides are already covered with moss and snails, and the smell of fishy smells from the first moment you enter, making people feel unusually uncomfortable. The soles of the feet are a thick layer of silt, and although they have been cleaned briefly, they can still reach the knees at a deep level, and along the way, Jia Daoshi is responsible for tracing the marks left by those years, which is very simple but time-consuming.
"I feel like I'm going to get arthritis when I go back," the fat man said, "Isn't Cha Ye us Chinese all pay attention to entering the soil for safety, how can someone build the grave at the bottom of this lake, isn't it some meaning to let the bones soak and not be peaceful." ”
"This is the ingenious place," Cha Wenbin said: "One is that the water of the lake is tens of meters deep enough to resist people who try to disturb the rest of the souls of the dead, and second, they can use waterproofing in important parts, I heard Lu Liang say that this place should be with the help of a large part of the natural structure, and the whole underground river below is hollowed out, and there is an independent ecological system." It is still very easy to create a few hidden waterproof points in such a place, for example, the area of this lake is actually very small, but we have been walking for so long, it is enough to show that the lake is just an entrance, and the real underground palace must be hidden in the surrounding mountains. ”
"That's a lot of effort, just open the mountain!"
"It's not that simple," Jia Daoist said: "It's not that I didn't think about it back then, Wu Zetian's Qianling was built on the mountain, Huangchao, Wen Tao, all the way to Sun Lianzhong of the Republic of China, how many people have set their eyes on Qianling throughout the ages." Whether it is manpower or material resources, it can be said that the mountains and seas are overwhelming, but they all return empty-handed, but once the mountain mausoleum is forcibly opened with external force, there is only one result, that is, the landslide and the ground are cracked, and all are destroyed, only from the entrance to follow the road of the ancients step by step to explore. ”
At that time, Lu Liang and his entourage were marked with red paint with arrows, and there were some other marks probably left by the previous people, the dampness and depression made everyone's hearts a little irritable, and occasionally someone's foot would step on the bones of the person who was pulled up by the shoes in the mud. Cha Wenbin's estimate was right, except for the first part of the artificially excavated, most of the interior is along the natural topography, this underground palace should have been an underground cave, and it was discovered and used to become the current scene.
"This is called the motherland is full of scenery, and the rivers and mountains are beautiful for 5,000 years." The fat man looked at those strange-shaped stones and sighed: "This kind of place is the most suitable for a god like Cha Ye, it is indeed a pity to bury people, there is an old Taoist who lives in it, maybe he will reward two elixirs, you see how much the stone looks like a person!" ”
Following the gesture of the fat man, Ye Qiu glanced at it and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" ”
Daoist Jia's ten people are the first seven and the last three, a few of them are in the middle, they are all old comrades-in-arms in the end, Ye Qiu immediately squatted down after a low drink. Feng Qiyun saw that his gaze was locked in the direction of the fat man's finger, and then he noticed that there was indeed a human figure standing there dozens of meters away, not moving.
Ye Qiu's body bowed slightly, and then he rushed out like a leopard, and the speed was finally so fast that Cha Wenbin could see him again. Jia Daoshi's eyes were faintly shining, I don't know whether he was admiring this skill or excited because of Ye Qiu's discovery, he waved his hand, and the two brothers immediately followed, the fat man stuck out his tongue and said, "Could it be that I was right, that is really a zongzi, right?" ”
"Didn't Master Zu tell you that you can't talk nonsense when you go down to the tomb?" Feng Qiyun smiled: "If you can't control the mouth and the immortals, you can't save it, guess what kind of thing it is?" ”
"Is it a zombie?" The fat man pretended to be nervous and shrunk his head and said to Daoist Jia: "Fake liar, can you catch zombies?" My family will check the master, but this is an additional service, you have to give money, we are charged according to the dynasty, 10,000 yuan before the Qing Dynasty, 5,000 yuan after the Qing Dynasty. ”
"It's a dead man." Jia Daoshi said lightly: "He is really as powerful as he was back then, and he can always find something at the first time, if I have such a person, why worry about big things." ”
After a while, the two people came over carrying something, and when they put it on the ground, they saw that it was indeed a dead man, and this dead man Cha Wenbin still recognized it!
"How could he be here!"
It was a fairly fresh corpse, it looked as if it had only been dead for a few minutes, the joints of his body were still a little weak, his eyes were blood-red, and the most strange thing about him was that he was wearing a purple-black shroud, and a deep strangulation mark on his neck showed that the man had died of suffocation.
"Cha Ye, do you know?"
Cha Wenbin leaned down and gently touched his eyes with his hand, and finally closed, looking at the brand-new clothes and the mud on the trouser legs, it was estimated that he would come in an hour earlier than them at most. Cha Wenbin glanced at Jia Daoist with a cold glance and said, "You already know?" With the net you have laid in the sky and the earth, not even a bird can fly in, why can he! ”
This person is Lu Liang! A retired old cadre, not to mention that he can brave the wind and rain to climb the mountain, at least in terms of time, he must come earlier than Cha Wenbin and them to be reasonable, otherwise the current mountain road has already been washed away by the flooding lake, how can he still be so calm?
"It's his heart's desire." Daoist Jia neither admitted nor denied it, he just said: "For him, those disciples back then were knots that could never be erased, and now they are dead together after all." ”
"!" Cha Wenbin got up angrily and said, "If you don't make it clear, don't blame me for not cooperating!" ”
Daoist Jia slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Cha Wenbin and said, "Look for yourself, he has cancer, terminal." He already knew before you went to him, he had been living in the shadow of his time all these years, and I agreed to his request so that he could come in and find his disciples, and now you see. ”
"He didn't die by suicide!" Ye Qiu suddenly said coldly: "My feet didn't leave the ground, and I didn't find a rope around my neck, someone or something attacked this person who wanted to die." ”
