It wasn't until ten minutes later that Zhang Quanzhong made a move and appeared in front of the cast iron security window in the East House.

Needless to say, his erratic eyes speak for themselves.

I looked at him like a stranger.

"Brother Xia, I can't help you. This time, if Jingguan Xiaowu and I can get away with it, I am grateful to all of you for your three lives. He said.

Wang Yu snorted, immediately turned around, and gave Zhang Quanzhong a back.

Instead of flinching, I strode forward, looking through the window to see what was going on.

"What do you want us to do? We're a bunch of helpless people, and we can't do heavy work. "I complained loudly.

"Brother Xia, of course you can't trouble a few people to do heavy work, now I ask a few of them to show their abilities and do their best to save Jingguan Xiaowu. I promise that when she wakes up, we'll leave tonight, without any surprise. Zhang Quanzhong said.

It's a huge trap, big enough to fit everyone in, all of them to become vassals of Zhang Quanzhong, working at high speed under his command until his personal goals are achieved.

Zhang Quanzhong is not a great good person, once anyone tries to get out of this trap, then he will definitely show his minions and choose people to eat.

"Shhhhh "I gestured to Lianchengbi.

She was not a mediocre person, and at first she noticed that at that time, there was a momentary gaffe, but under my reminder, she quickly calmed down and looked around the room with a flashlight.

"He's not going to give us a chance. I said.

With Zhang Quanzhong's calculation ability, since he locked us all in the house, he must have made this place into a cage with steel and iron bars in advance. What's even more terrifying is that he may have placed a thaumaturgical ban on the old house, preventing us from escaping at all.

"I really didn't expect it to end like this!" sighed Lian Chengbi.

It can be seen that she is suppressing her anger.

Everyone is a master of resourcefulness and fickleness, and once you find out that you have mistrusted the people around you, you will become the prey of someone else's trap, and that huge frustration is unacceptable.

"We have hostages, and that's probably the focus of the tug-of-war between the two sides. Wang Yu paced over.

I shook my head slowly: "It's not a hostage, it's a burden. ”

He was referring to Jingguan Xiaowu in the ice coffin, and I was referring to it as well. The same person, he sees as a hostage, and I see him as a huge burden.

It is impossible for me to use Jingguan Xiaowu to blackmail Zhang Quanzhong, in the process of life and death, she is an innocent and helpless victim, and has become cannon fodder for Zhang Quanzhong's desperate love.

"Of course she's a hostage—"

Lian Chengbi blurted out, and his anger was overflowing.

I raised my hand to interrupt her, and Zhengse instructed Wang Yu: "Save her, no matter what happens outside the door, continue what we are doing." ”

Wang Yu stared at me for three minutes before returning to the clay pot without saying a word.

"We came here to save Jingguan Xiaowu, this is the only purpose. Zhang Quanzhong just spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, adding a double insurance for this matter. Listen to me, forget about all the changes outside the house and just look at the present. I said out loud.

The world is constantly changing, and if you can't find really useful information in the sudden change of lightning, you will inevitably get lost, so that you will miss the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Zhang Quanzhong is good at calculating, that is his strength, if we blindly compete with him in this aspect, it is equivalent to attacking the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings, and in the end, we can only lose.

On the contrary, our strength is to save people, and he is outside the house, beyond the reach of the whip, which inadvertently becomes his weakness.

Wang Yu is not wrong to call Jingguan Xiaowu a hostage, but the living Jingguan Xiaowu is a hostage, and she is just a cold corpse when she dies.

For further analysis, the goals of me, Lian Chengbi, Wang Yu, and Zhang Quanzhong are the same, which is to "save Jingguan Xiaowu". In that case, what is the delay?

Lian Chengbi turned off the flashlight, and the house fell into darkness again.

I stood slightly west of the door, diagonally facing the ice coffin and the east door, to make sure that I could notice any movement in the two places.

"Tianshi, you are still so kind that you were taken advantage of and roasted on the fire. "Lian Chengbi was in front of me on the left, that is, in the northwest corner of the main house, forming a line of sight with me, and also keeping an eye on the movements of the ice coffin and Wang Yu.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. It is better to do good than to do evil. I smiled faintly.

In addition, she often said the phrase "people are doing, the sky is watching", and she constantly persuades people to be good, in order to accumulate yin gong and reincarnate more blessings.

She is a good person, but she is a mermaid dressed as a "good person".

As soon as I think of this, I feel that Qushuiting Street, which is full of birds and flowers, gurgling water, calm and calm, and lives and works in peace and contentment, has become cloudy and treacherous. In my personal concept, I would rather Aunt Guan be a real ghost in the underworld than a merman, because the word "merman" really carries too many humiliating elements.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, commanded the world, and defined "the whole world and the coast of the land" as "the king's land and the king's ministers", which was already a huge appetite for "swallowing the world", and the three talents of "heaven, earth, and man" accounted for two-thirds.

On the other hand, the lord of the merman is under his command more than half of the waters on the earth, and he also controls hundreds of millions of water tribes, and his appetite and ambition far exceed that of Qin Shi Huang. If such a hurricane force is allowed to counterattack the continent, how can there be a place on earth for us human beings?

At this moment, I thought of many themes such as Noah's Ark, the Great Flood, the 2012 catastrophe, and the future water world that have been repeatedly shown in American film and television works.

Humanity's understanding of the ocean is very shallow, especially about the deep sea area, and almost nothing is known. I believe that the lair of the Lord of the Sharks is in the deep sea, which is beyond the reach of manpower.

The sages of the rivers and lakes once left such a proverb to their descendants: "Those who are good at attacking will attack above the nine heavens, those who are good at defending will stay under the nine earths, those who are good at advancing will enter the places of the nine poor, and those who are good at retreating will retreat into the nine secluded places." ”

The last word "Nine Shadows" refers to the places where human exploration can never invade, and those places have exceeded the meaning of the word "forbidden area", but refers to a place "outside the forbidden area, outside of consciousness, and outside of knowledge", which is more distant than heaven and hell, and more abstract than Sumeru and mustard seeds.

In the final analysis, if you can't eliminate the lord of the sharks, then Jingguan Xiaowu will always be in a desperate escape, with no end, no end, and no ending.

What is the point of such a life even if it lasts for 10,000 years?

Just like the last two lines of the poem recited by Zhang Quanzhong - "If it is for freedom, both can be thrown." ”

The merman is forever subject to the lord of the merman, and has no personal freedom or freedom of thought at all. So, is this kind of life without freedom, love still valuable?

I believe that the revolutionary pioneers of decades ago have made the most correct, serious, and open-minded order of life, love, and freedom, that is, freedom first, then life, and then love.

As for Zhang Quanzhong, there is love first, then life, and finally freedom.

Those who are good swimmers drown, and those who are good at calculations are trapped in counting. Zhang Quanzhong is such a smart person who is mistaken by cleverness, just like a cat and dog chasing his tail in a circle, and a donkey running after the carrot in front of him, he can't see through it, and it is difficult to get rid of it.

In this sense, he is a very poor person, setting up a cage to frame me, Lian Chengbi and Wang Yu, in fact, he is also cocooning himself.

"The time of the child is coming, the time of the child is ...... It's almost here......" suddenly cried out the dying man in the clay pot.

Almost at the same time, three visitors to Mt. Fuji shouted together in Japanese.

The Japanese language was so obscure that I couldn't understand it, but I realized from the tone in which the three of them spoke that it was a spell or an oath.

The ancients divided the day into 12 hours, in which the sub-hour and noon are the key nodes of the transformation of yin and yang, yang and yin, which are of great significance.

"Feed the master's body with the blood of my army, raise the master's spirit with my humble body, and gather the master's spirit with my spark's life......" Lian Chengbi translated in a low voice, "Come across the sea, dance the river, borrow water and borrow fire, and the mountains and rivers make way - pro, soldier, fight, one, all, array, split, in, front! disease, disease, disease, disease, disease, ......"

When the three of them shouted "Nine Words for Soldiers", the blood in the room was extremely strong, and even though I was holding my breath, I still smelled the suffocating thick smell of paste.

With a click, a square skylight with a side of one foot suddenly opened on the roof facing the ice coffin, and a ray of moonlight shone directly into the ice coffin, forming a square spot of light on Jingguan Xiaowu's chest.

There were three bangs, bangs, bangs, and the sound of messy and shuffling footsteps came from the east room.

"Don't shine, don't shine. I spoke up in time to stop Lian Chengbi from turning on the flashlight.

"His grandmother's, has the zombie appeared?" Wang Yu whispered, slid out of the east room, and landed lightly beside me.

I didn't ask much, just stared intently at the door of the East Room.

The heavy, sluggish footsteps are reminiscent of dubbing in European and American zombie films, and the three of them have been soaked in water for so long, their clothes are full of water, and they have been dripping downward, creating a chaotic sound of ticking water.

"His grandmother's, his grandmother's, the witchcraft of the Tomb of the Living Dead is so scary that it almost scared me into a heart attack......" Wang Yu kept muttering.

I don't think that the visitors to Mt. Fuji used sorcery, but I just summarized these strange actions as a type of thaumaturgy.

There is no such thing as "demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters" in the world, and it is only because a certain phenomenon is beyond the scope of human cognition and cannot be explained by physical theories that it is called witchcraft, magic, ghosts, and strange arts.

Just imagine, if human beings can increase their wisdom by 100 million times, magnify the boundaries of cognition by 100 million times, encompass everything, encompass the extreme, and understand everything that is known, unknown, existing and unseen, then is there any reason to confuse our generation?

Lao Tzu said that the Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things.

These few simple words have already explained the past, present, and future of mankind clearly, like the heavenly fire stolen by Prometheus, illuminating everything and making darkness unrecognizable.

The ignorant are small, but the knowledgeable are great.

The incompetent are powerless, and the capable are powerful.

At this moment, I already had a premonition that Jingguan Xiaowu would definitely be resurrected - the word "resurrection" is not exact, to be precise, she really did not die, but only fell into the "death poison" in the dark. If we use some kind of thaumaturgy to relieve her of her "death poison", she will be able to stand up safe and sound, and reappear to us with a youthful heart and lightness.
