Chapter 24: The Crack in the Door
Chapter 24: Cracks in the Door
Zhang Hefang's narrative came to an abrupt end, and I asked, "That's all, nothing?" ”
Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "That's all, I don't remember the future very clearly, but I vaguely remember that we have been running, and it is only when we get out of the mountains around Kurosawa that we are really out of danger." ”
Listening to Zhang Hefang's description of thirty-one years ago, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, although I have experienced many bizarre and strange things, but because of the existence of Bu Jin, Ryazan and others, I can save the day every time. However, in the past stories told by Zhang Hefang, those who participated in the investigation were all the best in the Southern Witches, and even they couldn't subdue the monsters, so can we handle it alone.
"I know what you're thinking," Zhang Hefang always had a keen insight into the thoughts of the people around him, and he said, "You must be thinking, in that case, why don't I send more people here?" Right. ”
I nodded, and immediately looked at Binzi, Brother Liao, Bao Ye and the others, and said in my heart that although they are also very powerful, if you want to compare them with Ajuna and Gu Master, I am afraid that they are still much inferior.
Zhang Hefang said: "Actually, this is not a problem of a small number of people. No matter how many people are sent, if they are all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, at best, they will only contribute to the death list. Quality is more important than quantity in our team. ”
"But...... These people ......"
"Yo, what do you mean?" The conversation between me and Zhang Hefang was overheard by Bao Ye, and he heard the doubts in my tone, and seemed to be a little unconvinced: "What's the matter, brother, you still don't look down on a few of us?" ”
As soon as Bao Ye's words fell, the old python, the old man, and Bin Zi and Brother Liao, who were shoveling snow there, all looked at me in unison, and there seemed to be some disdain in their eyes. That seems to mean to me that you are the most incompetent of our ranks, and you even come to accuse us of being useless.
Fortunately, Zhang Hefang hurriedly came over to play the round and said, "Okay, let's go shovel snow." Mr. Fan doesn't mean anything disrespectful, and don't forget, he is a Heavenly Attendant. ”
Bao Ye cut and ran over to shovel snow with Binzi and them, muttering, "Who cares if he is a waiter or not, and looks down on me, I will let him have a hard time to eat." ”
I'm a little extraordinary, I didn't expect Bao Ye to look like a big grin on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be so sensitive and have a strong sense of self-esteem.
Zhang Hefang shook his head at me and said, "Don't care, these people are all outstanding people in Nanwu, and they are used to being looked down upon on weekdays, and everyone has a bit of a stinky temper more or less. But don't worry, Po is by no means a person who holds grudges. ”
I sighed and said, "I don't care about this, I'm just a little worried." I think that even if they are Bao Ye, they are all the best in the Southern Witches today, but compared with Ashuna, Gu Master or Old Man Yuan back then, there is a certain gap. ”
Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "There is indeed a gap, and it is not small. ”
"Aren't we in danger then?"
Zhang Hefang smiled bitterly and said, "We have never really been safe. I still say the same thing, it has little to do with personnel, don't forget, this time, we have magic weapons in our hands. ”
"Soul Absorbing Demon Jade?"
Zhang Hefang nodded. I didn't ask any more questions, but I never thought that when I first saw the jade plate on Bu Jin's chest when I was in Yunnan, I never imagined that it would have such a powerful force.
As the snow was shoveled away, a large stone gate with a simple style appeared in front of us at night.
Zhang Hefang said: "Actually, whenever the snow on the mountain melts, the stone gate here will be revealed, and legend has it that the monsters living in the stone gate will come out at this time to breathe. ”
I had some doubts in my heart, and said, "Since it is a priest's burial pit, why are there monsters in it?" ”
Zhang Hefang said: "If you go in, you will know the way." ”
I looked at the huge stone door, which was more than two meters high, and it was a stone door that was split on both sides. The stone of the masonry door is grayish-blue and looks very hard. Other than that, there is nothing special about this stone gate.
As the sun sets, the waning moon climbs into the eastern sky. Perhaps because it was cloudy tonight, the moon was very faint tonight, and it quickly became dark all around. I looked at the distant mountains around me, and saw that the peaks that looked magnificent and handsome in the day looked hideous and unusually in the night, and the wind in the valley was silent, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere quietly spread.
"Listen!" Zhang Hefang suddenly said to everyone: "Stay for a while, there may be strange singing voices in this group of mountains, and there may be many ancient women on the water surface of Kurosawa Lake, what I want you to do is very simple, don't look, don't listen, focus all your attention on this stone door." ”
Bin Zi and Brother Liao were a little strange and asked, "Boss, this stone door has been dug out, won't we open it?" ”
"Don't rush, wait first." As Zhang Hefang spoke, he had already stood with his body facing the stone gate, not daring to carry it in the slightest.
I knew what he was afraid of, and he was afraid that if we were distracted a little, the stone door might open on its own, as it had been thirty-one years ago. He continued to remind everyone, saying, "Be ready, don't make mistakes." ”
As soon as the words fell, they heard the sound of two bolts, everyone had already loaded the guns in their hands, and Bin Zi and Brother Liao were standing at the front of the stone gate with a micro-charge, and the back looked extremely strong and burly.
We stood in front of the stone gate for more than ten minutes, but there was nothing around us except for the wind.
Bao Ye couldn't bear it a little and asked, "Boss, what are we waiting for here, just open the stone door." ”
Zhang Hefang also frowned, and I could tell from his expression that he seemed to be puzzled by what was happening in front of him. I knew what he was waiting for, he was waiting for the enchanting song in the valley. But in the valley, there was nothing but the mountain wind that was rattling. There were times when I wanted to go back and see if those ancient women had appeared on the surface of Kurosawa's lake, but when I thought of what Zhang Hefang had told me, I forcibly suppressed my curiosity. It was at this time that I remembered the man's voice in my mind - Master Peixi, curiosity kills the cat!
"Wait a little longer." Zhang Hefang, who has always cherished his time as his life, is no longer as anxious as before at this time, and in his opinion, now is the beginning of the real danger.
In this way, after nearly an hour, no matter how well-trained everyone was, they all relaxed, and Bao Ye couldn't help but say: "Boss, don't torture us, what else do you want, hurry up and open the stone door, we can go in, it's too grinding." ”
The situation of thirty-one years ago did not happen, Zhang Hefang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, go and open the stone gate." ”
So, still led by Bin Zi and Brother Liao, they walked to the front of the stone gate and prepared to open the stone gate. The two of them walked swaggeringly, and when they stood in front of the stone gate, I also sweated for them, for fear that at this time, the stone gate would suddenly open, and a huge and terrifying monster would pull the two of them into the stone gate at once.
This didn't happen, but it didn't mean that a few of us were safe, just when Binzi and Brother Liao's hands touched the stone gate, suddenly, there was a sound of "woo ahhhhh That voice turned back and forth, it was the demon song in Zhang Hefang's memory. This is the first time I've heard a song like this, it's almost tonal, and at first glance it's as creepy as a child's babbling or a woman's crying.
Just when everyone was about to look left and right for the source of the sound, Zhang Hefang suddenly shouted and reminded everyone: "Don't look elsewhere, keep an eye on the stone gate." ”
The people here are well-trained, and it seems that everyone has not been so harmonious for hundreds of years, but when the real strange unknown danger comes, everyone still unites in a very short time. All the people were still very relaxed just now, and all of a sudden their nerves were tense to the extreme, no matter how strange the singing in the valley was, and even sometimes the singing seemed to come from your ears, it could not divert everyone's attention from the stone gate.
Sometimes, experience can really save a person's life. If we didn't have Zhang Hefang's experience, it is very likely that we would all die here. And it is precisely because Zhang Hefang has experienced it that he has made an accurate choice.
After about ten minutes, suddenly, the huge stone door actually moved, opening a small crack, and what was unbelievable was that the huge and heavy stone door did not make any sound when it was moved. My heart tightened, and cold sweat immediately soaked my back.
Seeing this, Zhang Hefang immediately said: "Don't panic, that thing is an entity, no matter what, you should be afraid of bullets, and when that thing comes out in a while, everyone will shoot together." ”
Everyone didn't look at Zhang Hefang either, they all stared intently at the gap in the stone gate, nodded, and kept doing it.
Suddenly, a large scarlet eye peeked out through the crack in the door. Everyone just wanted to shoot, but suddenly, the bleak and strange singing that had been surrounding the mountains seemed to be interrupted by something, and countless ancient women screamed in the valley, and the monster in the stone gate seemed to sense this, and the huge stone gate was closed again with a "bang".
