Chapter 1 The King of Zongzi
"I am already the last Zhang Qiling of the Zhang family, and all the days in the future must be guarded by me."
"Ten years from now, if you can still remember me, you can open this bronze gate to replace me."
That was the last time I saw the Stuffy Oil Bottle, and when I woke up, everything he had was gone except for the ghost jade seal he left for me.
I thought I would have something left after all this, but I didn't expect that there would be nothing left. However, I realized that I couldn't stop yet, and I had to go on because there was still a decade left.
Changbai has remained unchanged for ten years, and the world has been vicissitudes for ten years.
Today, Stuffy Oil Bottle, I'm here to pick you up.
The ghost seal was embedded in the groove on the bronze door, and the entire underground trembled, and the human skin that sealed the door on the two bronze giant doors fell and slowly opened a gap.
As soon as the flashlight entered the giant gate, it disappeared completely, and nothing shone at all. Wang Zanghai mentioned that when the Dongxia people brought him here, the section that had just entered the door was a void, and he had to use a strange lighting tool, called "True Fire", to see the situation inside. With the experience of the last time, Wu Xie came prepared this time and specially brought a rhino horn candle.
Arrange most of the people to stay outside the door, Wu Xie signaled to the fat man, and the two of them walked towards the door with a dozen or so capable team members.
The second time I stepped through the bronze door, my mood was completely different from the nervous excitement and fear of the unknown last time. Because Wu Xie knows that the little brother is here.
In the darkness, the blue lights gradually lit up from far and near, and it was more like a guide than a light. I don't know what material the ground is, not only does it absorb light, but there is no sound when you step on it. The passages seemed endless, and in the chaos of darkness above and below, it was as if one had entered another dimension. Someone in the team was already muttering what the hell this place was. But Wu Xie did not have a trace of fear in his heart, if what was waiting for him at the end of the road was a handful of white bones, then maybe he was walking towards hope at this time was the most peaceful and comfortable moment in his life.
This place makes people lose their ability to perceive time and space. I don't know how long I walked, but the lights were cut off, and a huge black object appeared in front of me. The fat man said "yo" and said, "Innocent, we won't travel to Egypt, right?" β
If you look closely, you will see a building that resembles the shape of a pyramid. But a huge "pyramid" is eerily suspended above the ground. The fat man hugged Wu Xie's shoulder: "It seems that this time we have to fall into a fight with the pharaoh." I don't know if it's Cleopatra waiting for our brothers? β
Wu Xie slapped the fat man's hand away: "Don't talk nonsense, we're here to find the little brother." β
Jokes aside, someone in the team threw ropes up the "pyramid" and fixed two rope ladders. Wu Xie was the first to climb up, and the fat man also beckoned the team to bring guns, and the beckoning to put bright spots, and followed one after another.
The "pyramid" has steps on top, and the surface is smooth and dark, and it is completely integrated. Standing on it, I suddenly felt the weight of my body lose my weight, and I felt dizzy. The fat man seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "This looks like the meteorite statue of the Queen Mother of the West." β
Bronze doors scattered all over the place, huge meteorite of the same material...... Wu Xie remembered the notebook he saw in the Tibetan Lama Temple that recorded the "ultimate of the world": eight small "turtle shells" in the sky surrounded a large one in the middle: the "turtle shell" was surrounded by many tentacles-like things, forming a strange shape, and a few small figures were drawn below as a reference, showing the incomparably huge size of these things.
The fat man scratched his head and said, "Naive, in fact, I have always doubted the true identity of the little brother." You say, he won't really be that ...... What, right? β
At this moment, the people who climbed to the top of the tower first let out exclamations one after another: "Aliens! β
Wu Xie secretly scolded, today is the wrong set, and chased after the fat man.
At the top of the pyramid is a platform that is empty and glows with a faint blue light. Above the platform was a humanoid object suspended silently, shrouded in blue light, like a sleeping fetus curled up in the womb.
Several team members talked a lot, but no one dared to come closer. Seeing Wu Xie walking over without hesitation, someone spoke out to stop him: "Boss, that thing may be an alien, why don't you shoot a few shots first and try the depth?" β
Wu Xie waved his hand, walked straight to the humanoid object, and stretched out his hand. The slight black hair conceals the young and calm face, and there is no change from ten years ago. Wu Xie stretched out his arms and took the person from the air into his arms, feeling his hand sink, and the light around him suddenly dimmed.
The moment Zhang Qiling left the air, the entire platform seemed to have lost its energy source, and the light suddenly disappeared. The crowd lit up the lamps in the darkness, and the surroundings became bright again. The fat man saw Wu Xie put the upper half of the little brother's upper body on his lap and held it in his arms motionless, so he walked over and pushed it: "Naive, you won't be happy and stupid!" Let's see if the little brother is fat and thin, do you recognize us? β
The fat man squatted down to check the little brother's face, and found that Zhang Qiling's eyes were still closed, and his chest did not rise and fall. When I touched the side of my neck again, I was cold and had no pulse. The fat man was also stunned, not knowing what to do. Such a scene is not unexpected, but it is still overwhelming when it is really in front of you.
After being stunned for a while, the fat man sighed and said, "Naive, it's been ten years, it's good that the little brother can wait to meet you like this." Cheer up, we still have to take these brothers out alive, don't patronize the little brother, these children are also raised by their parents. Seeing that Wu Xie didn't move, he pulled Wu Xie's arm, but Wu Xie hugged the little brother tighter.
The fat man was helpless, got up and beckoned everyone to bring their equipment and prepare to evacuate. Looking back, Wu Xie still didn't mean to move the nest: "Naive, listen to my brother's persuasion, put the little brother down." Even if you take him out, Bao Buqi will be wiped out as soon as he walks to the door, it is better to stay here and remain unchanged, it's a big deal when do you miss the little brother, I will accompany you to take a look at any time? β
Closing the mine, the stuffy oil bottle spits out a mouthful of blood, and slowly lowers his head......
Zhangjia Gulou, the bloodless face of the stuffy oil bottle exposed from the layers of clothes......
Originally, I thought that I had been numb to such a scene, but for some reason, when he touched the cheek of the little brother who did not snort, Wu Xie suddenly felt that the firelight, the human voice, everything around him, and even the whole world seemed to be gradually moving away from him. It turns out that there are some things that you can't get used to even if you go through them repeatedly......
What a ten-year covenant, it is in Meng Laozi at all!
"Zhang Qiling, don't pretend to be dumb for me, you get up and make it clear for me!"
Wu Xie suddenly shook his little brother hysterically, startling the people around him. The fat man frowned and wanted to go over and slap Wu Xie awake, don't be embarrassed in front of the guys. Besides, the little brother is also his buddy, and he can't let Wu Xie abuse the corpse like this. I was about to walk over, but suddenly froze.
Wu Xie felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, and when he looked up, he saw several team members raising their guns and facing him. And the fat man also stared at himself, and stammered with a complicated expression: "Little brother, he, he, he seems to have cheated the corpse!" β
Wu Xie's brain couldn't react for a while, should he reply in response to the situation: "Damn, the little brother can cheat the corpse, what a terrible zongzi, the king of zongzi?" β
The fat man was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "See for yourself!" β
Wu Xie lowered his head and saw the little brother's eyelashes flutter a few times, as if he was about to open his eyes at any time.
The fat man also raised his gun: "Innocent, flash aside, we have to strike first!" If the little brother becomes a zongzi after a while, no more platoon of people will be enough for him to play! β
Wu Xie used his body to protect the little brother: "Fatty, can you be a little more ruthless?" This is a little brother! β
The fat man was anxious: "Wake up, naivety, the current situation of struggle has changed from a contradiction among the people to a contradiction between the enemy and us!" You can't let a dozen people put their lives here for nothing! β
Wu Xie was stunned, looked down at the little brother's face blankly, and suddenly calmed down.
"Fatty, the rest of the brethren ask you to bring it home safely. I'm not leaving. β
The fat man didn't seem to be angry or joking when he heard Wu Xie's tone, and sighed in his heart, this kid has been stunned since the day the little brother entered the bronze gate. If it can be persuaded, it will be persuaded in the past ten years. In this way, even if you are knocked out and dragged out, you will have to continue to be stunned for the rest of your life.
"Naiveβ"
"Don't say it, hurry up and take the brothers out!"
The team members evacuated one after another, and Wu Xie buried his face in the cold neck socket of the little brother.
Will you be strangled? Or was it bitten to death? It's best to keep a whole corpse, and in the future, it's good to follow the little brother with all your arms and legs across the zongzi world, so that you won't die or be a drag oil bottle. It's not bad to think about it this way......
Suddenly, I felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of my neck, and goosebumps came out in an instant, are you coming? Still uncontrollably nervous, my heart pounding, and I could even hear the echo. No, there are clearly two hearts beating, one heavy and one light, one urgent and one slow.
"Fat ββ!"
The fat man who was squatting on the steps and wondering what to do next was startled by Wu Xie's scream, and when he ran to it, he saw Wu Xie's eyes with tears in his eyes, and his voice changed tone: "Little brother, he has a heartbeat!" β
The fat man reached out and tried his breath, and sure enough, he was breathing.
"It's all in time for Snow White. Didn't my little brother come back to life with a kiss from you, a dwarf? β
"Don't be uneducated. Your Snow White was kissed alive by a dwarf! That's Prince Charming! β
Hearing the sound, the team members who rushed back heard two people arguing without focus. The fat man looked at Wu Xie smiling and crying, and suddenly turned his face to the dark, and his eyes were wet somehow.
