Chapter 4 Forks in the Road
Chen Jiu was also eating steamed buns with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Only Ergouzi was still angry in his heart because he had just touched a nose.
"Everyone is done eating, let's go!" Chen Jiu finished speaking, and walked towards the corridor with a torch.
Everyone else stood up to leave, but Ergouzi still sat still. Lu Qiang nudged him.
"Lao Tzu is walking with a pee first. Ergouzi said with a pulled face.
The other three followed Chen Jiu one after another, and Ergouzi unbuttoned his pants and followed after urinating on the wall.
After a while, the group came to a fork in the road, and a straight road divided into passages to the left and right.
"Chen Jiu, how do you get down there?" asked the flower priest tentatively.
"I don't know, it looks like we're going to go separately first. ā
The flower path man immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "I think so too, Brother Chu and I will go to the left." ā
Chen Jiu glanced at the flower path man, then squinted at Chu Xiaojiu and said, "Okay, you go to the left, let's go to the right." ā
Chu Xiaojiu was a little puzzled by such a grouping. To say that Kung Fu Chen Jiu is the best, the Ikebana people are the weakest, and the others are about the same. If you encounter zombies, it will be easier to deal with the flower path people yourself. It is said that Chen Jiu should be in a group with himself, and the flower path people should take Lu Qiang and Ergouzi brothers. But why did the ikebana people rush to be in a group with themselves?
In this way, the flower path and Chu Xiaojiu walked to the left Yongdao, and Chen Jiu, Lu Qiang, and Ergouzi walked to the Yongdao on the right.
The flower path man and Chu Xiaojiu had been walking quietly for about a quarter of an hour, when the flower path man suddenly took out a spirit rune and threw it behind him. The rune turned into a fireball, flew along the path for a while, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Brother Dao, do you think you're afraid that someone will follow us?" asked Chu Xiaojiu.
"No, but it's better to be careful. ā
"Brother Chu, what do you think this place is for? The flower path man asked Chu Xiaojiu cautiously.
"It's hard to say, it's a bit different to say it's a tomb. But the tomb beast and Yongdao are only found in the tomb. ā
"But I think if this is a tomb, then the boulder outside the cave should be a tombstone. Chu Xiaojiu said.
"Makes sense. The flower path man replied lightly.
The two of them were walking forward, and the corridor ahead was no longer straight. Instead, walk ten or eight meters and turn around.
"Brother Chu, how did this Yongdao become like this?"
"I don't know. It's all a bit of a tricky thing, so let's take a look. ā
"Brother Chu, the green-haired zombie you gave me last time really helped me a lot. I haven't had time to thank you. The flower path man began to set up and said politely to Chu Xiaojiu.
"Brother Dao is polite, the price you gave me is also very fair. ā
"Brother Chu, don't you realize that this trip to Chen Jiu is a bit weird. The ikebana man asked tentatively.
"yes, I think he's familiar with this place. He didn't pay attention to the details at all along the way, and he just drilled all the way in, and there was no caution that a master like him should have. Chu Xiaojiu replied briskly.
"Do you think he's here to get corpses from us?" asked the Hanamichi man.
"It's hard to say. Looking at the overall terrain from the outside, it is not suitable for raising corpses, who knows if there is any doorway inside. Chu Xiaojiu replied.
"Do you think it will be that he Chen Jiu came back and ran into a big zongzi and went back with a loss of soldiers?"
"In Chen Jiu's case, there shouldn't be many people who can make him return in vain. But the risk of this pit itself is higher than that of ordinary burial chambers, and it is not impossible. Chu Xiaojiu still maintained his lukewarm way of answering.
"Looking at it this way, I really want to see what the hell is here, so mysterious. ā
"yes! I'd like to see it too. Chu Xiaojiu looked very firm when he said this.
"But now on the rivers and lakes, there is a bit of a rumor about Chen Jiu. Hanamido said in a low voice.
"What's the news?"
"Some people say that Chen Jiu has had some contacts with the Japanese recently. ā
"Japanese! He robbed the tombs of the Japanese?" Chu Xiaojiu asked a little suspiciously.
"Fengchuan didn't say anything, just said that there was a bit of a relationship. But I don't have anything to worry about if I rob the tomb, this underground treasure is something, and it is said that it is a dead object after all. ā
"Are you afraid that he is here to find the corpse?" Chu Xiaojiu also lowered his voice and asked in surprise.
"Yes, you know, a green-haired zombie was put in the village. It won't take a few days to wipe out a village. If someone controls it, it can be used as a team of soldiers. And I heard from a friend on the road that the Japanese are now doing something to spread the plague with dead people, and I don't know if there is some big conspiracy. The flower path man said gloomily.
"What's the matter, spreading the plague with the dead?" Chu Xiaojiu said casually in a cold sweat when he heard this.
Chu Xiaojiu thought to himself that the corpse poison of this green-haired zombie was already very powerful. Once a person is bitten and not properly treated, the corpse poison will gradually spread, and finally it will become a walking corpse that only chases flesh and blood. I have heard of the war when the dead who contracted smallpox were thrown into the enemy camp to spread the plague. But I've never heard of anyone spreading the plague with zombies, and even if it's just an idea, it's too vicious.
Would Chen Jiu really help the Japanese do such a thing that would lose their conscience? Chu Xiaojiu didn't dare to think about it in his heart, but he couldn't help but think about it. However, Chu Xiaojiu is also an experienced tomb robber, and he knows the character of a tomb robber. The flower path people may have deliberately slandered Chen Jiu just to win over themselves. Therefore we cannot disbelieve his words, but we cannot disbelieve them all.
After the last turn, a straight road appeared. The two men walked along the straight road for about a quarter of an hour until they came to a fork in the road.
"It's another fork in the road!" Ikebana said.
"Hmm!" Chu Xiaojiu responded.
Two men with torches were looking at the two forks in the road.
"How do I feel so familiar here! It seems like we've just parted ways. Ikebana said.
"I think it's the same place that we separated just now, but we came out from the place where Chen Jiu and the others went in. ā
"Could it be a fork in the road, and a confusing design? We haven't seen any forks in the road this way!"
"Yes, if this fork in the road is to run into Chen Jiu. Let's take this road, if the fork in the road just now will soon reach our place of eating. ā
"Okay! The ikebana man replied in the affirmative.
The two of them walked along the road, and soon returned to the broken wall. The two of them took torches to check the traces on the ground, and they soon found the crumbs of steamed buns scattered during the meal just now, as well as a bubble of urine in Ergouzi.
