All Chapters_Chapter 319: Departure
It was like being poured a basin of cold water on my body, and my whole body was creepy, but then the eyes were hidden in the darkness again.
I rushed with my sword, but when I ran to the place where the eye had appeared, I found nothing, and everything was like an illusion.
"Chen Zixuan, what's wrong with you?" Cai Yawen was shocked by my strange movements and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I opened my eyes wide and used the technique of looking at qi to carefully observe the surroundings, and there was a faint aura of yin ghosts permeating the surroundings, which was difficult to find if I didn't look closely.
"Who was that just now?"
I whispered to myself, but I didn't pay attention to it, after all, I had seen a lot of ghost things, and I was not afraid. I secretly guessed that it might be that the nearby ghosts were attracted by Longzhu's eyes, and we found out the results of the secret watching just now.
"Nothing."
I said to Cai Yawen, and then softly comforted Longzhu, she has often seen these things since she was a child, so she is not very afraid.
Next, the Cai family put Cai Zhongyong, who had already surrendered, into a special coffin, I looked at it and was still a little uneasy, so I simply pasted several talismans on the coffin lid, Cai Zhongyong's situation is too weird, and I must be more careful.
After Cai Yawen and Cai Zhongtang argued, Cai Zhongtang finally couldn't resist Cai Yawen, and had no choice but to agree to let her explore the ancient monuments that were most likely Qu Shangcheng.
"In the past two days, I will first arrange for the manpower and preparation of items to Qushang City, you can stay here for a few days, you can tell me if you need anything, or directly order the third child."
Cai Yawen whispered to me, and at the same time turned to the third child and said, "Third child, you will follow the two guests these days and serve them well." ”
After Cai Yawen finished speaking, she said hello to us, and followed Cai Zhongtang out in a hurry, it seemed that they still had something urgent.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Longzhu, please come with me."
The third child said respectfully to me and led us to the guest room. On the way, I chatted with him and learned a lot of information, recently the Cai family has been changed, Cai Zhongyong became a zombie, in addition to Mrs. Cai, he also killed several core members of the Cai family, including Cai Yawen's eldest brother. Now that the Cai family's talents are withering, and they have been continuously attacked by competitors in business, it is really a mess.
I sighed, in addition to expressing some sympathy, I couldn't do anything about the Cai family's experience, after all, I didn't understand business things.
Longzhu and I were placed in two adjacent rooms, I entered the room and locked the door, and then said softly: "Xue'er, I was in the basement just now, I listened to your words and seemed to know the changes in Cai Zhongyong's body?" ”
Xue'er responded: "It's just some speculation, it's not completely certain, and all this will have to wait until you go to Qu Shangcheng to figure it out." ”
I whispered, "Are you so sure that this place is Quxia City of the Ancient Shu Kingdom?" ”
"You'll find out when you go." Xue'er said lightly, and then kept silent.
……
Time flies, time changes.
About three or four days later, Cai Yawen arranged some things for the family, and after making all the preparations, she took us to Shuangliu.
Shuangliu is located more than 10 kilometers southwest of Chengdu, is the whole of China is a very famous international airport, it is said that in the Republic of China has been built into a military airport, in the following decades it has undergone several large-scale expansion, the flow of people is very huge, the whole city is also relatively prosperous.
The specific location we are going to is in the territory of Muma Mountain on the border of Shuangliu County and Xinjin County, and the people in this area have always had legends about Qushang City, but because the government has not carried out large-scale archaeological operations, the specific situation can only be guessed.
Nearly two hours later, the convoy stopped in a small farm yard. I got out of the car with Longzhu and looked around.
This time, in addition to me and Longzhu, a total of nine people came to the Cai family, Cai Yawen and Cai Zhongtang were among them, and five of the remaining seven people were subordinates of the Cai family, who carried some professional tools and were led by the third child. What really makes me interested is the last two people, one old and one young, the younger one I also know, it is Liu Zelong who made me suffer a lot with illusion in the Worm Temple, and the other is an old man with a long beard, his skin is ruddy, his eyes are bright, and he is a capable character at a glance.
This is Liu Zelong's master!
I couldn't help but glance at this illusion master more, and I was secretly vigilant in my heart, illusion is such a thing as a very difficult thing, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the way. And the old man in front of him is the best among them. After the incident in the Worm Temple last time, I asked Master about Liu Zelong, and after some muttering, Master speculated that Liu Zelong's Master was most likely Wang Yifeng, a famous illusion master in the Sichuan cultivation world!
According to the master, this Wang Yifeng is also known as the smiling tiger, because he is smiling and groaning at people regardless of his own joy or anger, but in fact, he is evil-minded, and his one-handed illusion is even more superb, and he can make people worse than death in the middle of talking and laughing. I heard that in the early years, there were several Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain who traveled to Sichuan, and I don't know why they annoyed Wang Yifeng, but they were trapped by him with illusion for a whole month, and finally were exposed to the sun and turned into several dried corpses, and asked someone to send them back to Longhu Mountain, which caused an uproar in the cultivation world at that time.
"The little brother seems to care a lot about the old man." The long-bearded old man noticed my gaze and looked at me with a smile on his face.
I was awe-struck in my heart, and hurriedly said, "I heard Master Wang's prestige before, but today I saw it really extraordinary. ”
"Oh, which one is your master?" Wang Yifeng said.
Before I could answer, Liu Zelong leaned into Wang Yifeng's ear and whispered, "Master, he is a disciple of Jiang Chengdao of Qingcheng Mountain." The last time I told you, I helped the Cai family, and that time the target was him. ”
Wang Yifeng's face changed a few times, and he said to me: "Hehe, it turned out to be Jiang Chengdao's apprentice." I also had some friendship with your master back then, and now that you are the same generation as Zelong, the two of you should be close to each other. ”
I saw the affection in Wang Yifeng's words, but there was a little coldness in his eyes, and I couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in my heart, and when I entered the ruins of Quxia City, I had to be careful with him.
At this moment, Cai Yawen had already equipped things, and then informed us that we were ready to go.
"Longzhu, wait by my side, don't run around." I said to my little apprentice, I didn't want to take her with me when I entered Quxia City this time, after all, it might be very dangerous down there, but it was not very reassuring to leave her on the ground, especially in the middle of the night, if the ghosts attracted by her were seen by ordinary people, maybe there would be some trouble.
"Master, rest assured, Longzhu will be obedient." Longzhu pulled the corner of my clothes and said in a coquettish voice.
Everyone walked quickly along the mountain road, and Cai Zhongyong and the others entered the underground cave at a farmland two kilometers away. At that time, the farmer who was farming dug up a number of bronze statues in his own field that looked like Zongmu people, (Zongmu people: The history books call the appearance of the silkworm Cong clan as Zongmu, with eyes erected and bulging. Then a peripheral member of the Cai family heard about it, and after buying the statue from the farmer, he judged that there might be a group of tombs of the ancient Shu Kingdom buried under the farmland over there. He reported to the Cai family's headquarters, but he didn't expect to arouse the interest of the old family owner Cai Zhongyong, and finally what happened later.
"Vicissitudes of life...... I remember that it used to be a village...... "Cher's faint sigh echoed in my head, and I woke up suddenly.
I couldn't help asking, "Xue'er, tell me if you've been here before, and if there are any secrets buried in Quxia City down there?" ”
Cher didn't answer my question at all, and after her sigh, she fell silent, as if she had disappeared.
Just when I was full of helplessness, the team finally reached its destination. This is a patch of farmland, and because of the relationship after the autumn harvest, the surrounding area is bare, and no one is working.
In a corner in front of us, there is a pile of straw piled up here, and under the straw is the entrance to the underground......
