We were enjoying breakfast and chatting, Lu Chengshan walked over quickly, and the four of us immediately shut up, not giving him a good look.

Lu Chengshan walked up to me and said, "We are going to enter the Snake Intestine Valley, if you want to come, you can come with you, if you don't want to come, you can go down the mountain by yourself, I am not reluctant." ”

I'm a little surprised, he suffered a big loss yesterday, and today he dares to move on?

No one answered Lu Chengshan, he glanced at us, and said solemnly: "That evil spirit has been severely damaged, if you don't take the opportunity to destroy it now, it will take a lot of trouble when it recovers." Miss Lin, maybe that evil spirit was your relative and friend when it was alive, but now it is no longer human, and if it continues to develop, it is very likely to harm thousands of people, so you can't sympathize with it and shield it......"

Lin Mei said coldly: "You can do whatever you want, can I still stop you?" ”

Lu Chengshan was pushed into her lungs by her, there was nothing to say, Lin Mei was not a person who "killed relatives with righteousness", even if he didn't go against him, it was impossible to help him, he was simply bored with himself, so he had to leave abruptly.

I was silent for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." ”

"No, I'm going to follow them in and have a look!" Lin Mei said firmly.

"I'll go too!" Wu Zhangya, a guy who loves to join in the fun and is greedy for money, can't hold his breath.

I sighed: "Lu Chengshan used a strategy to get away with it, saying that it was up to us to decide, but in fact he was lying to us to follow up." If he can't find the treasure, he'll arrest you and torture you to extract confessions, or even kill us all, and we'll be fooled if we go with him. ”

Lin Mei said: "There is no treasure in it at all!" ”

"But the problem is that Lu Chengshan believes that there is a treasure, if he can find the treasure, it will not necessarily harm us, and if he can't find the treasure, he will definitely be able to persecute you. From the very beginning, I tried to deal with them so that we could all go down the mountain safely, and now that we can finally leave, do we have to kill ourselves?

"You go down the mountain first, I'll go by myself!" Lin Mei was very resolute and had no room for negotiation.

I can understand how she feels, no matter how terrible the Snake Gut Valley is, it is her home, and she can't stand indifferent to watch someone break into her house and wreak havoc; No matter what the "big brother" becomes, how evil it is, it is her family, and she can't abandon it.

I can't leave Lin Mei behind, and Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya won't leave first, so they can only go in together. I said a little helplessly, "Okay, if you want to go, we can only go together, but before we go, we have to prepare and know more about the situation in order to get some initiative." The first question is to determine if there is a treasure inside. ”

Lin Mei shook her head slightly: "I really don't know, I was only five or six years old when there was a big chaos, and no one would tell me, and the remaining three old people were not the ones in charge, and they didn't know." After all these years in it, I have never seen any treasure, nor have I seen any record of it. ”

"So where did you come from, and how long have you lived there?"

Lin Mei looked a little dazed: "I don't know where it came from, the first senior brother is the fourth, and the first three have an average of thirty years, and it has been nearly a hundred years." ”

I asked, somewhat surprised, "Your supreme leader is called 'Senior Brother'?" ”

"Yes, in addition to the senior brother, there are also the second senior brother, the third senior brother, and there were a total of three senior brothers before."

Lao Lin was also surprised: "Could it be that you are a sect?" But the kung fu you practice is completely different from the one surnamed Song! ”

Lin Mei said: "The martial arts of the three senior brothers should be different, and the martial arts practiced by the people they led are also different. ”

I, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya are all inexplicable, how can they be called senior brothers and second senior brothers if they are not a teacher? Even if it is the same sect, the supreme leader is also the head or master, not the senior brother, what kind of strange rule is this?

I asked, "So now that Heroic Spirit is the fourth generation of senior brothers?" The second question we need to know is, how did he become the way he is? ”

"No, he's the third-generation elder brother, and the fourth-generation had a big mess shortly after he took office, and they all died?"

"So except for the third-generation senior brother who can manifest himself, can anyone else?"

Lin Mei immediately shook her head: "There is no one else, I have never met it." ”

I asked again, "So is there anything special about the third generation of senior brothers?" It's what makes it different from everyone else. ”

Lin Mei tilted her head and thought for a while: "I seem to have heard the surviving old man say that the third-generation senior brotherhood has spells, and he is the most powerful of all the senior brothers, and the talismans he draws can make people invulnerable......"

"Invulnerability?" I, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya stared at each other, and they all didn't believe that there was such a strong spell in modern times.

Wu Zhangya said: "The so-called gun refers to a gun and spear, not a modern firearm. ”

Lao Lin said: "It may be a kind of hard qigong, such as the golden bell cover, iron cloth sand, etc., and the fire gun can't be hit." ”

Lin Mei shook her head again and again: "According to the surviving old man, they have personally tried the runes, and the Mauser guns of the Western devils can't move, and the bullets have fallen off before they touch their clothes." ”

The words "Mauser gun" and "Western devil" suddenly reminded me of a major event that happened in history, and I lost my voice: "Is it the Boxers?" Back then, their leader seemed to be called Senior Brother, and he often shouted that he was invulnerable and rushed forward, and it was about a hundred years since now......"

The history of Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya is not very good, although they know that there was a Boxer Rebellion, but they are not very clear about the structure and specific deeds of the Boxer Rebellion. Lin Mei was even more dazed, obviously not knowing what the Boxers were.

Wu Zhangya asked, "Then why did the Boxers come here and hide here for what?" ”

"Either hide from the enemy, or protect the treasure. At that time, foreign devils robbed a lot of Chinese treasures, and the Boxers killed many foreign devils, so there is a great possibility that they have treasures in their hands. After the defeat of the Boxers, the masters of the Qing Dynasty were chasing and killing them, and the Western devils were also chasing them, and maybe there were other Boxer members who had to hide in such a secret place because they were fighting for treasure. ”

The three of them all nodded, agreeing with my analysis, I was a little excited, and continued: "Although they are hiding, but the Qing Dynasty secret agents who chased and killed them back then will definitely leave some clues, after the country stabilized, the people who sorted out the historical materials found relevant records, and speculated that the mysterious person in Yunding Mountain may be the descendants of the Boxers back then, so they sent Lu Chengshan to investigate, infiltrate, and kill Zuihou." Zuihou they couldn't find the treasure, so they had to give up, but after more than ten years of turmoil, they felt that there was still a treasure, so they had a second action, ostensibly destroying ghosts, and actually hunting for treasure.

Lin Mei and the other three nodded again and again, almost throwing themselves to the ground in admiration.

I said, "All in all, the third generation leader of the valley is proficient in spells, and when he saw that the tide was gone, he used spells to inject his soul into a certain magic weapon, and then through cultivation or some special method to grow stronger, he became the powerful existence he is now. The yin qi it emitted was so powerful that even it couldn't fully control it at first, and the three surviving old men and three boys died because the yin qi was too heavy, and the only bit of yang qi in this area fell on Lin Mei, and she was spared. ”

These analyses are relatively professional, and the three of them can't fully understand them, but they are extremely respectful to me, and they still nod their heads like chickens pecking rice.

"This senior brother is not only a wonderful spell, but also a very scheming person, as can be seen from its strategy yesterday, everything is in its calculations. The reason why Xiao Mao can survive and evolve in the yin qi is also because of its hands and feet, in order to possess Xiao Mao's body to attack the enemy one day, and even Xiao Mao's "abuse" of the corpse is also to give it more resentment......"

Speaking of which, I myself feel a little chill on my back, if Xiao Mao was not killed yesterday and continues to evolve, the "big brother" will continue to become stronger, and after a few years, the two will become one, who in the world can be the enemy?

Wu Zhangya asked, "You mean that Lu Chengshan has a high probability of failure?" ”

I shook my head: "Lu Chengshan dares to enter the valley again, he is certain with certainty, yesterday's zuihou blow was sent by him, and he knows best how serious the injury of the 'senior brother' is." But 'Senior Brother' is a person who is proficient in spells and very scheming, and he will only be more powerful when he becomes a ghost, and he will definitely not let Lu Chengshan succeed easily, so we don't need to follow up in a hurry, we can pretend to go down the mountain, and then hide nearby and wait for them to come out before going in." If we follow in, Lu Chengshan can't find the treasure, and he will be ashamed and angry, and it is really possible to do anything. ”

After my analysis, Lin Mei no longer insisted on following up immediately, so the four of them packed up their things and went down the mountain openly. Lu Chengshan was surprised to see us descending the mountain from a distance, he didn't expect me to be so tolerant, and actually left like this - indeed, I am no longer the stunned young man who just left school three years ago.

We walked for a while, stopped after making sure that Lu Chengshan couldn't see it, then turned around and found a place where we could see the entrance to the Snake Intestine Valley, sat down and waited slowly. Since yesterday afternoon, after the battle, the fog above the snake intestine valley and the pine forest has disappeared, and there has been no fog until now, and you can clearly see the stone wall stairway and the horizontal plank road at the entrance, and Lu Chengshan and others must pass through here to enter and exit.

The fog no longer appears, probably because the "big brother" is already very weak.

The four of us took turns staring, but there was no movement in the snake gut valley, and we waited until it was almost dark to see the three people come out. One is Lu Chengshan, the other is Zheng Sanfu, and the other is Ah Liang, and the things they carry are almost the same as when they went in, so it can be seen that no treasure was found. After they left the pine forest, they built a bonfire in the place where they had camped the night before, and it seemed that they still did not give up, and would not go down the mountain, but they did not dare to spend the night in the valley of the snake intestines, so they ran out.

Lin Mei and I can see at night, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya can't see the road clearly at night without lights, and they will be discovered by Lu Chengshan and them with lights. After discussion, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya monitored Lu Chengshan and the others in the same place, and Lin Mei and I bypassed Lu Chengshan's campsite and entered the pine forest.

Lin Mei used my aura to adjust the balance of yin and yang in the body, and in the past two days, she has eaten delicious food with relics on her body to suppress evil and ward off evil, and her complexion has greatly improved, she is full of energy and her steps are brisk. Not only can I see at night, but I am also far more agile than ordinary people, and the two of them are like ghosts silently walking through the pine forest, climbing the stone wall, walking across the plank road, and then crossing the sky into the snake intestine valley.
