The fat man glanced back at the Taoist priest Chen who was walking at the end of the line, and said, "Anyway, this Chen Duxue was only in her early twenties five years ago, and she actually has such ability at a young age?" ”

Lao Sun Zhengse said: "Don't underestimate this young man surnamed Chen. Legend has it that the Chen family of the Old Nine Sects has a branch that is proficient in the number of arts, but it never takes it lightly. The old Chen family even invited 'Taoist Chen' out, I'm afraid that the things in this Gaochang King's underground palace are not so simple! ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but look back on the performance of this young man surnamed Chen along the way. I always felt that this young man who looked like he was in his twenties had an indifference that was not commensurate with his age, but he didn't expect it to be hidden, and he was also a well-known figure in the inverted fighting world. For what the Chen family wanted to get from here, Wu Xie was also aroused for the first time.

The group gradually stepped out of the area surrounded by beetles.

Along the way, Wu Xie marked the wall with a highlighter while walking, and when he encountered a fork in the road, he chose an unmarked route to go.

After walking for more than an hour, I heard the fat man sigh, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

In fact, Wu Xie also discovered that during the time they were traveling by avoiding the marked line, the probability of marking the wall gradually decreased, and there were no more traces of marking on the road behind the nearest fork in the road.

This means that they are no longer spinning in circles, but are finally entering an area that has not been explored before.

Wu Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his method was starting to work, hoping that if the black glasses could escape from behind that wall, they could also follow the mark to find the team.

Without the harassment of sand scorpions and man-eating beetles, the corridors of the entire underground labyrinth look hollow and monotonous. But Wu Xie suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the fat man walked up to him and whispered, "Isn't it a little too clean here?" ”

Wu Xie's heart moved, and he said secretly: Yes, they are not the first people to enter the labyrinth. More than a thousand years ago, those Mongol soldiers who plundered the city of Gaochang would definitely not let go of this underground treasure. Unless this army is all gone, it is impossible not to leave a trace.

Even if man-eating beetles can corrode human bones, but metal objects such as armor and weapons are also eroded? Or is this Mongol army not in the same space as they entered?

While Wu Xie was pondering, the fat man suddenly shouted, "There is someone in front!" ”

Wu Xie looked up and saw that at the corner of the passage in front of him, a black shadow flickered through the halo of the flashlight, and quickly disappeared into a fork in the road.

Wu Xie raised his hand to signal everyone to be on guard, and asked the fat man, "Have you seen who it is?" ”

"It's too dark," said the fat man, "and only one back is seen." ”

The two exchanged glances, and they both felt that the figure was strange.

All the rest of the team is here. If there could be anyone else in this corridor, it's either the dark glasses that escaped from the quicksand mechanism, or the little brother who has been here all along!

But if it was dark glasses, he couldn't have gotten out of hiding without saying a word. And if that figure is a little brother, why does he deliberately avoid everyone?

The fat man said: "There is no reason for acquaintances to run away as soon as they see us, could it be that there are zongzi in this maze?" ”

Lao Sun and others also felt the same way. Everyone was vigilant and copied the guys.

This trip to northern Xinjiang is geographically sensitive, and there will be temporary inspections on the road at any time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Xie does not advocate bringing guns. Now the only one is missing along with the dark glasses. All that was left in everyone's hands were some cold weapons such as daggers and waist knives.

Wu Xie pulled out the big white dog's leg and slowly approached the corner of the corridor where the figure had disappeared.

Wu Xie walked into the fork in the road first, and hit the light of the flashlight, only to see that at the junction of light and darkness, there was a figure standing in the middle of the road with his back in this direction.

Wu Xie felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, only to hear Lao Sun, who followed behind him, gasp, and said in surprise: "It's Da Zhao!" ”

After being reminded by Lao Sun Yi, everyone also felt that the more the back looked more and more like Da Zhao, who was originally thought to be dead.

Lao Sun expressed his doubts: "We didn't see Da Zhao's body just now, could it be that he just disappeared at that time, but he wasn't actually eaten?" ”

Ah Hai, who had been in a coma for a while, woke up when he heard the voice, and struggled to the front with the support of the Liu brothers. The moment he saw the figure, his eyes immediately widened, and his voice trembled: "It's Da Zhao, that's right!" Little Third Master, save him! ”

After speaking, he shouted "Da Zhao Da Zhao" towards the figure.

But the shadow in front did not look back, nor did it react at all.

Da Zhao's disappearance and appearance were very strange, and everyone did not dare to approach rashly.

Lao Sun said to Wu Xie: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Wu Xie nodded, and Lao Sun cautiously walked over with his right hand on his waist.

Lao Sun's waist has a seemingly inconspicuous rope, but in fact, it is Lao Sun's personal weapon - rope darts. In case of danger, it can be attacked and defended, and it can be used as a rope to tie immortals when the coffin is opened.

Lao Sun leaned towards Da Zhao with a rope dart in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Da Zhao, I am Lao Sun, and the third master has brought us to you." ”

The figure in front remained unmoved. And when Lao Sun got closer and closer, and saw that he could grab his shoulder with a stretch of hand, Da Zhao suddenly rushed out, and disappeared from the light of the flashlight in a blink of an eye.

didn't wait for everyone to react, just heard Lao Sun shout "I'll chase", and disappeared into the dark corridor with the figure.

Wu Xie was afraid that Lao Sun would be in danger alone, so he followed without saying a word.

After chasing for a distance, they saw a person squatting in the corridor in front of them.

The flashlight flashed over, and it was Lao Sun!

Lao Sun turned his back to everyone and squatted on the ground motionless.

Wu Xie's heart tightened, walked behind Lao Sun, and asked, "Where is Da Zhao?" ”

Lao Sun slowly raised his head, his face was pale, full of incredulous expression, and whispered, "He's gone—"

Wu Xie frowned, turned the light forward, and saw a one-finger-thick rope lying on the ground, the front part was in the shape of a lasso, as if something had just been tied. At this time, the lasso was empty.

Wu Xie knew that Lao Sun had used his best skill - tying zongzi in the air. This trick Lao Sun can be described as a hundred shots, and he rarely misses. At this time, Lao Sun also said with a puzzled face: "I obviously tied up something just now, and he dragged me to run a few steps." But all of a sudden, the strength in front of me was gone, and when I looked again, there was only a rope left on the ground, and the bound man was gone. ”

You must know that the characteristic of this bundle of fairy ropes is that the more you struggle, the tighter it gets, and once it is lassoed, it is impossible to break free. can completely disappear from the bundle of immortal ropes in an instant, Wu Xie asked himself that ordinary people can't do it.

Everyone shone their flashlights on the corridor in front of them, and what they saw was still an endless stretch of dark red stone walls, and the figure had disappeared without a trace.

Ah Hai shouted unrelentingly: "Da Zhao, Da Zhao, don't hide, come out quickly-"

But in addition to the overlapping echoes, silence has returned to the corridor.

Taoist priest Chen, who had been silent in the team, suddenly said: "That thing, I'm afraid it's no longer human." ”

Although Lao Sun had this suspicion in his heart, he still asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Taoist priest Chen said unhurriedly: "Which of you has the surname Zhao's birthday?" ”

Ah Hai said Da Zhao's birthday.

Daoist Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and began to pinch his fingers to calculate.

If you usually see this scene on the street, everyone will definitely think that you are pretending to be a ghost. But at this time, in the dark and weird underground, no one dared to laugh and disturb.

After a while, Taoist priest Chen slowly opened his eyes and said unhurriedly: "According to the eight characters of birth, the brother surnamed Zhao died more than half an hour ago. ”

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but then someone wondered: "So is that shadow like Da Zhao just now a zongzi?" ”

Daoist Chen didn't speak, just shook his head lightly.

The fat man touched his chin and analyzed: "There are two kinds of zongzi: hard zongzi and soft zongzi. Hard zongzi have shape and quality, and soft zongzi have no form. But the situation just now, neither of these situations is compatible......"

Seeing that everyone looked at it curiously, the fat man continued to analyze: "The soft zongzi is either tangible and substantial, or intangible and substantial, but no matter what, the fairy rope has no effect on it. Those who can be tied with immortal ropes must be hard zongzi. But what kind of hard zongzi can disappear instantly after being tied? ”

After some analysis by the fat man, everyone's expressions became solemn.

It seems that the dead Da Zhao has become something beyond people's current experience. If you don't know what the other person is, it's hard to deal with next.

Wu Xie thought for a moment and said, "No matter what Da Zhao has become, we have to find him first." ”

Wu Xie took the lead in walking into the corridor where Da Zhao disappeared, but before he walked a few dozen meters, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the light of the flashlight. It turned out to be Da Zhao who had just disappeared again.

The shadow like Da Zhao was still facing away from everyone, as if waiting for them in front.

Wu Xie felt that things were a little weird, and said to the others: "Everyone stay where they are, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The fat man came up and said, "This thing is a bit evil, let's go together." ”

Wu Xie nodded, held the cold steel knife in his hand, and outflanked the fat man left and right.

The figure didn't move, and Wu Xie and the fat man gradually approached within two meters.

The two exchanged a look, and were about to make a tentative move, when suddenly the figure slowly turned its face!

The flashlight was shining in the man's face. I saw that this face was as white as paper, who was it not Da Zhao!

When everyone saw Da Zhao's face, they all gasped in surprise.

Da Zhao's face was so pale that he didn't look like a living person, but there was still a hint of a smile on it. The eyeballs are pitch black and shiny, but there are no whites of the eyes!
