Chapter Eighty-Four: Suffocation

Runzi's father was worried about this, he didn't know what enemy the Jiumen family general had offended, and many investigations had not yielded results, so he could only ask Chang Butong, but the answers he got were ambiguous, which became his heart disease.

It wasn't until Runzi and I went to find Xiaobao and his father that we paid attention. I heard that we went to the black bamboo forest in the back mountain, and Runzi's father sat like pins and needles, anxious like ants on a hot pot, afraid that we would encounter the same danger, he notified Chang Butong as soon as possible, regardless of whether he found signs of a suspicious person (in fact, he was worried about Runzi). Chang Butong took people back to the cave in the back mountain, and searched carefully, but returned empty-handed, fortunately it was just a false alarm, which inevitably caused greater panic, so he left early.

I didn't tell Daddy Runzi the truth at the time, and now that I think about it, it's a bit inappropriate, if I could tell the truth, my parents and Daddy Runzi would definitely try their best to prevent us from joining the Nine Gates, maybe we can still have a good night's sleep now, and we don't have to worry about doing it like him.

Let's talk about this stone temple.

According to the consistent style of the Jiumen generals, they will never set up a sign in their own settlement, and it is also called a stone temple. Regarding the specific origin of the stone temple, the Nine Gate generals did not know, and they were not the first to discover it.

Beneath the stone temple is an underground palace of an ancient tomb, which was excavated by the newly established National Archaeological Team and found that it was different from ordinary tombs. Although it is inside the mountain, there is living water, hot springs, and a huge space inside, and there is a paradise outside the mountain that leads to the ancient cemetery and the palace that can be used to live. Under the repeated efforts of the nine generals, after half a year of transformation, this place has become the base camp of the nine generals.

However, there are pros and cons. The advantage is that with the "care" of the higher authorities, the safety process has been improved a lot, and it will not simply become a thorn in the side of some people; The disadvantage is that the actions of the nine generals have also been restricted, but compared with their own safety, they can only stay up and live, hoping to arrest Wu Santong one day earlier.

The stone tablet engraved with the words "Stone Temple" is the mechanism for entering this ancient tomb, and the design is very ingenious, and from the literal meaning alone, outsiders will not associate it with the ancient tomb at all. The stele stood alone on the hillside, as if hiding some secret, looking up at the people who had entered the stone temple. But one thing makes people wonder why the tomb was named "Stone Temple", no explanation is logical.

……

When Chang Butong explained to us the identity of Wu Santong and the grievances with him, I realized that not all of the Jiumen generals followed the rules, and this trip to the troubled water was treadful, and I only hope that other people will not be the same as Wu Santong.

Although the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, knowing the identity of the other party, and not afraid of him messing around, we can be fully prepared to give him a head-on attack.

The corpses of the three tomb robbers emitted a disgusting stench in the warm, humid air, and I was used to it, but Long Yiming and Runzi clenched their noses and spat outwards again and again, and they became more and more tacit.

"Alright, you two lads will move the body to the stone platform first, and you will go and get some cloth and some lime powder to cover it. I'm tired after tossing all night, and I'll wait until dawn to discuss how to deal with Wu Santong. "Chang Butong commanded us in an orderly manner.

While we were cleaning up, one of the corpses suddenly spoke, drooping its upper and lower jaws like dead wood, and it was not weird.

The dry corpse opened its mouth a few times, its scattered teeth snapped up and down, and a hoarse old voice slowly came out of its throat like a dead tree trunk: "The rice buckets of the Nine Gates, do you think you can escape from my palm by hiding in this cave, hum, it was luck that I couldn't kill you last time, don't blame me for not giving you a chance this time." Hear clearly, you must come to the ferry to pick up people before dawn, otherwise this old Taoist priest will say goodbye to you forever, remember, everyone has to come......"

The dry corpse who spoke drooped his chin and looked at us expressionlessly, and after waiting for a long time, Wu Santong's voice did not sound, and it was certain that the power of the corpse had been stripped away.

Wu Santong's skills are much stronger than mine, although I don't know how far away he is from us, but it is incredible to be able to open a corpse through the air, in comparison, my walking corpse technique is pediatric. He and Wu Santong have met twice, each time it is just a few minutes, but he can detect that this person is unfathomable, and what he does is incredible, is it just for us to pick up Qin Ling, there must be something bad to hold back.
