Chapter 22: The Secret Realm of Zhangsu
Add more to the Taibai legacy
Sure enough, the huge rat was the enemy's vanguard.
Perhaps, the black shadow that fell from above earlier was this thing.
It was supposed to be raised by this gang.
After confirming my guess, I quietly retreated to another path and hid around a corner.
Within half a minute, I heard someone walking to the intersection just now.
Then they stopped, and someone asked, "Brother Leopard, which way to go?" ”
Brother Leopard's manly mid-bass voice came: "In ...... Here? ”
I heard someone start walking towards me, and I suddenly felt a tension in my heart, thinking about whether I was going to clash with these people head-on, but before I could take two steps, I heard the leopard brother shouting, "Wait, no, it's here." ”
Someone stopped and said, "Ah Leopard, are you really unsure?" ”
Brother Leopard smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wen, there is no news from my little black back, and I am not sure what happened, thinking that I can only sense it based on my previous impression, but from the current point of view, it should be right." ”
That Wen Ye was a little impatient, and said that it was really troublesome, he knew that this was the case, it was better to chop people directly, why bother so many hands and feet?
"Yes!"
Someone chimed in and said: "When I came down just now, that pool was full of insects and living creatures, and I was still numb and itchy, maybe there were a few locusts in my body, ouch, ......it hurts."
Syllable!
The man slapped his palm on his body, and the rest of the group complained.
Brother Leopard, who was blamed by everyone, finally couldn't help it, and snorted coldly, saying that you are all people from the roots of the imperial city, you should know how difficult the 419 office of the National Security Bureau, which is the so-called "Tianji Department", if they get serious, none of us can run a little more complicated, you come?
He spoke so seriously that the people complaining next to him stopped talking.
Someone persuaded in a low voice: "Okay, okay, no one thought that such a little monster could withstand such a high temperature without dying?" I didn't expect that under this boiling pool, there was such a unique underground passage...... Bed bugs, didn't you find this place when you cleaned up the factory before? ”
A shrill voice said, "We've all cleaned up, the comb has been sifted over and over again, who would have thought there would be such a place." ”
"Yes, this place doesn't look like an underground cave from the last hundred years, maybe it was even earlier."
"Did you see the cluster of bronze arrows on the bones just now? That's at least a thousand years old, right? Or earlier? ”
"Scared, aren't you? This little place has not been discovered for a thousand years? ”
"yes, yes, how is that possible?"
A few people talked about it, and Brother Leopard finally got angry, and said let's go, hurry up, my little black is estimated to have been killed by that kid, do you still have the leisure to talk nonsense here?
As he spoke, he walked towards the space in front of him, while the rest of the people seemed to be a little afraid of this leopard brother and didn't dare to say more.
After a while, the group of people who stayed at the fork in the road were all gone.
I walked out of the other way slowly.
Like a ghost, I slowly followed behind them, and like a hunter, waiting to come forward and deliver a fatal blow to these fellows who were far superior to me.
Ever since I understood my situation, I have never flinched, cowardly or waited, nor have I ever expected justice to be done.
I will take back the humiliation and hurt I have suffered, one by one.
After a while, I followed to the wide cave with the obsidian gate, carefully looked inside, and saw that the group of people were gathered in front of the obsidian gate, and hid in the shadows near the cave entrance, only to hear a burst of gasping sound from inside, and then someone asked: "Brother Wen, you are an old Jianghu, you know this thing, what the hell is it?" ”
Brother Wen groaned, saying that this is really hard to guess.
The man asked, "What do you say?" ”
Brother Wen said: "Obsidian, also known as dragon crystal, Shisheng stone, although it is not precious in gemstones, but it is mainly produced in Central America and North America, although our country also has it, but most of it is produced in Tibetan areas. In our capital land, it is really unusual to have such a large piece of obsidian that is completely natural. Looking at the carving technique above, this kind of anti-backlight and big return means has been lost for a long time, at least the appearance of the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the deer on this mural ......"
One person said, "This one seems to be a five-colored deer, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes, in addition to this deer, there is also this bird, and they remind me of a legend that has been passed down for hundreds of years. ”
Everyone asked, "What legend?" ”
Brother Wen said: "During the reign of Ming Xizong, the Ministry of Industry in the southwest corner of Yanjing, Wang Gongchang gunpowder depot exploded in Wang Gongchang, causing more than 20,000 casualties Because of this incident, the supply of gunpowder in Liaodong was urgent, although Nurhachi led the army to attack Ningyuan when Yuan Chonghuan stopped him, and was injured and retreated, but after all, he was unable to invade the north and recover the land, resulting in the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne smoothly, and the Manchu Dynasty has been prosperous since then, and there were rumors at that time, saying that someone at that time, under the gunpowder magazine of Wang Gongchang, found a secret realm, And it was that secret realm that led to the explosion of Wang Gong's factory......"
The man called "Bedbug" asked, "What secret realm?" ”
Brother Wen said: "Zhang Su Secret Realm! ”
"Zhang Su?"
Everyone was surprised, but the leopard brother replied, "Zhang Su? Are you talking about Zhang Yuelu, one of the twenty-eight nights and the fifth in the south? ”
"Yes!"
Brother Wen replied: "Zhang, Er Yazhong once said, the bird Zhang Xu, the note is called Hu, and the place where the bird eats is also, it can be seen that Zhang Su is interested in the Vermilion Bird." Zhangsu Secret Realm, and the city of Vermilion Bird Secret Realm, Vermilion Bird is the fire of the south, it is the spark that ignited the gunpowder magazine of Wang Gongchang, which caused the tragic death of 20,000 people It is said that the secret of the secret realm of Samadhi contains the secret of the true fire of Samadhi, and even the rumored flame of the candle shade is also hidden in it......"
The people around him gasped and exclaimed, "Great Demon Vermilion Bird? ”
Brother Wen replied, yes.
Everyone was shocked, but Brother Leopard was a little skeptical, saying that with just one big bird, you can analyze so much? It can't be guessed, right?
Brother Wen said that when I was before, I had seen records about the secret realm of Zhangsu in the library building and the national archives of the Forbidden City, and this place where we are is is the last one near the original site of the gunpowder magazine of Wang Gongchang.
This is a very tempting thing, after Brother Wen said this, the people around him suddenly became short of breath.
No one spoke, but the atmosphere instantly became warm.
Even I, an outsider, can feel it.
And just when everyone was excited, a discordant shrill voice suddenly said: "Wait, do you need to tell Hai Ye and the big guys above us about this matter?" ”
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
No one spoke.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, such a stiff scene passed unconsciously.
Finally, Brother Wen said: "Yes, bed bugs, you are very right, no matter what, the enemy family is our main family, without the protection of the main family, we bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods, it is impossible for us to survive in this huge Kyoto, now this matter is very important, we can't get away, after all, there is Hou Mo that kid has not been found, so let's go up, take Ma Liu with you, and go and inform Haiye." ”
"Me?"
The bedbug who made the suggestion never expected Brother Wen to say such a sentence, and was stunned for a moment, very reluctant.
But Brother Wen looked very serious, saying yes, this matter is very important, you must handle it well, if you mess up, you should think about the consequences yourself.
The bed bug finally offended himself at this time, and said: "The loop is so long, I am alone, how can I go?" ”
Brother Wen asked, "Who do you want to take with you?" ”
The bedbug's eyes roamed over the seven or eight people around him, but none of them wanted to make eye contact with him.
He was a little discouraged, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll go back." ”
He walked out, and one of them said, "Wait, you take this thing with you, and when you go back and see Haiye, hand it to him, and ask him to ask someone to help him appreciate what it is." ”
The bug didn't want to, saying it was weird, and I was afraid of getting hurt.
The man said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt you if it's wrapped in cloth." ”
He stuffed it into the bedbug's arms, and then asked Brother Wen, "Then how do you open this door?" ”
Brother Wen opened his mouth and said: "You see, there is a stone platform next to this, carved with the heavenly and terrestrial branches, and there are twenty-eight constellations, as long as we are aligned with the time, and then turn the roulette, it shouldn't be a big problem, you can rest assured, I Ching gossip, in the entire capital, there are no more than five people who are more familiar than me......"
Someone flatters, right, who are you all the time? The heirs of the Guiguzi family!
A few of them were talking, and the bed bug was coming towards me, I didn't dare to clash with people at the door, I stepped back, almost fifty meters away, I crouched in the corner, waiting for the guy called the bed bug to come over.
He muttered under his breath as he walked, apparently scolding the crowd over there.
However, he did not know that his fate was about to change.
Bang!
