Chapter 141: A Journey with Heavy Losses
"On the battlefield before, I had a comrade-in-arms from the Mongolian steppe, and when I was bored, I heard him talk about many ancient legends of their Mongolian people, many of which were about Genghis Khan! One day we had just finished a tough battle, the troops suffered a lot of casualties, and the morale of the soldiers was very low, and many people begged him to tell a story to relieve everyone's boredom, and he later mysteriously told this story. ”
"He said that Genghis Khan was an invincible god-like figure in the hearts of the Mongols, and of course he also knew that many stories were made up, but once he heard an old man from their tribe say that Genghis Khan was also afraid, but it was not people and livestock that he was afraid of, but a place!"
Fan Changlong continued: "At that time, I was very curious, why would a mythical character be afraid of a place? Many comrades-in-arms also didn't believe it, and the Mongolian comrades-in-arms continued to mysteriously say that only Genghis Khan had been to that place, and it was said that that the place was more than 100 meters deep underground, and there were man-eating monsters and steel monsters that would let out bursts of roars! If Genghis Khan didn't have a god-like body, I'm afraid he would have died in that place. Later, when he came out of that place alive, he issued a prohibition order against his tribesmen, forbidding all people and animals from going to that place. In order to verify the reliability of what he said, he also took out a military map, pointed to it, and said, "Look, this place really exists, and it is still a forbidden place for the Mongols." So I was very impressed with this place. ”
Zhao Zhi'an looked incredulous after hearing this, and said with a smile, "I said Teacher Fan, I thought you had sufficient reasons and evidence, and it was a place to listen to people's nonsense for a long time." ”
Chen Yuanjiu disagreed, he said, "I'm afraid this place is indeed someone else's forbidden land, I believe the words of that Mongolian comrade-in-arms." ”
Liu Changzhu said, "I will go wherever the young master of the Chen family goes!" ”
Wang Qiyun didn't make any suggestions at the moment, he asked the monk Huilai, "Old abbot, what do you think?" ”
Monk Huilai shook his head, "My time is short, but I promised others that I will still go with you!" ”
Fan Changlong said at this time, "It is also fate that a few of us can meet together, we carry guns together, fight together, and die together, although we have now retreated from the first front, but we all know what is wrong with us!" Our predecessors fought on their own, and now there are few left, so I suggest that we form a team, unite and work together, and go together to find out what kind of bird the ship is, and also end our long-cherished wish for many years. ”
"Want, get! I support! Wang Qiyun said.
"I support it too, but what's the better name of this team?" Chen Yuanjiu said.
"Ha Ma Pi, what's it called, I think it's called the boat team!" Zhao Zhian said.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good enough. I think it's better to call it a geological team, after all, we're all together to find something underground! Liu Changzhu said.
"I think it's better to call the geological team!" Fan Changlong concluded, "What do you think? ”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed.
Several people recuperated in this Miao family village for four or five days, and the wound on Zhao Zhi'an's neck began to miraculously compound under the treatment of the herbs carefully prepared by the Miao doctor.
After more than half a month of recuperation and resupply, the group began to set off all the way north towards the no-man's land of the Mongolian steppe.
After three months, the group of six people finally arrived at the border of the Mongolian no man's land. The crowd searched hard for a guide around, but when the herdsmen heard that they were going to the hinterland of no man's land, no one would want to go even if they were given more gold bars.
The herdsmen all said that it was the place where Tengger fought with the devils, and there were still a few devils who could eat people in that place, and many of their lost cattle and sheep were captured by those devils, and they could not be killed.
Of course, everyone didn't believe it, but they couldn't find a guide, and finding that location was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, Chen Yuanjiu rode on horseback and looked at this barren land with no grass growing for hundreds of miles, and suddenly felt a little desperate, can't six people conduct a carpet search in this place, what year will this be.
Monk Huilai saw everyone's worries and suddenly asked, "Which of you knows the art of Qimen Dunjia!" ”
Wang Qiyun stood up and said, "I understand a little. ”
Monk Huilai opened the notebook and saw that the page on it was full of gossip symbols.
Wang Qiyun glanced at it and said, "This is a gossip map!" ”
"Yes, away from the south and north, and from the west to the east!" Monk Huilai also answered.
"But there are Gobi everywhere here, and there are no references, how can we find them?" Zhao Zhian said.
"Don't worry, the Bagua Orientation Map corresponds to the Five Elements and Landscapes, so it should be almost the same for us to find the key to it!" Wang Qiyun said, "There is a sentence here: enter the door of Hugh, go out of the gate, there are evil bones on the road, and the cave can be entered." ”
"Young Master Wang, what do you mean by this!" Liu Changzhu asked.
"The direction corresponding to the Jingmen is Li, and the Hugh Gate corresponds to the Kan! Separation is fire, Kan is water, we must first find a river. Wang Qiyun said.
With a general direction, the group did not delay any longer, and after searching for three days, they found an inconspicuous river in the depths of the Gobi. The group continued along the river towards the south, and finally found a strange cave entrance in a place littered with animal bones and stumps.
Zhao Zhi'an jumped off the horse and said happily, "It seems that this cave should be the entrance." ”
"That's right!" Monk Huilai was also very happy.
Chen Yuanjiu looked at the animal bones all over the place, among which there were many human stumps, many of the bones were already mutilated, and they were covered with tooth marks, it seemed that there must be some terrible monsters in this cave.
At this time, Fan Changlong picked up the skull of an animal from the ground and said, "Look, everyone, this thing is a wolf!" ”
Everyone's faces changed, and the excitement just now disappeared, the wolf combat power on the Gobi Desert they had learned a few days ago, and it almost made them suffer a big loss, and the things that could kill and eat the steppe wolves were enough to make a few people present gasp.
Wang Qiyun said very calmly, "It's all here, we have to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den." ”
Everyone agreed, and Chen Yuanjiu distributed the spear and short knife and said, "A few of us are strong in the front, and Master Huilai will stay at the end." ”
Monk Huilai shook his head and said, "I'm a wasted person, I'll give you a way in front." With that, he preemptively entered the dark cavern.
Several people were stunned, Zhao Zhian said, "Although this guy looks at me like he has seen an enemy, although he is unkind to me, I can't be unjust, I can't let him send me to the second one in vain!" After saying that, he also walked in.
The crowd did not delay and followed the fish.
Everyone had a torch in one hand and a short gun in the other, and after entering the cave, they found that the cave was not dug from the outside by man, but was dug out from the inside by some monster.
Fan Changlong said in the back, "The area around this cave is so smooth, what is the thing that cut through the cave, is it a pangolin?" As soon as the words fell, the Huilai monk in front of him screamed "oops", and then only listened to a few "crunchs", the torch in his hand was thrown on the ground, and the whole person was instantly dragged into the black hole by a huge monster.
Everyone in the electric light and stone fire had already reacted, and they all raised their guns and began to shoot in the dark, but soon there was no movement in the darkness. Zhao Zhi'an took a few more steps forward with the torch, and suddenly a long claw sneaked up from the darkness, and the sharp claw grabbed his arm at once.
"Retreat!" Zhao Zhian endured the severe pain and hurriedly beckoned everyone behind him to retreat.
Seeing that Zhao Zhi'an was about to be caught in the dark, Fan Changlongyan in the back was quick to hold Zhao Zhi'an's body, and hurriedly shouted to the people behind, "Everyone work together." It took a lot of effort to get him out from under the monster's claws.
Although a few people were mentally prepared before entering the cave, they didn't admit that this underground monster was so powerful, the monk Huilai had already lost any sound, Zhao Zhi'an's scratched arm was bleeding at the moment, and several people saw that the situation was too unoptimistic and hurriedly beckoned everyone to withdraw.
Everyone stayed at the entrance of the cave in shock, and Chen Yuanjiu said unwillingly, "Blame me for letting Master Huilai lose his life in vain." ”
Fan Changlong also quickly calmed down and said, "Now is not the time to be reckless, there is no one in a no-man's land for hundreds of miles, and we can't use the weapons in our hands now, let alone logistics supplies, while we don't have much loss now, let's withdraw first." ”
Zhao Zhian was obviously unwilling, but after glancing at the mutilated pistol in his hand, he could only sigh.
Wang Qiyun said, "Changlong is right, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, let's go back and be fully prepared!" ”
The group had to evacuate in a hurry......
Suddenly, a loud "boom" brought Zhao Yin'er's memories back to reality, and he hurriedly asked on the walkie-talkie, "What's the matter?" ”
The walkie-talkie came: "It's okay, it's the road ahead!" ”
Zhao Yin'er couldn't help but scold the other party and told them to work carefully and not to collapse this cave. He turned to a few of us and complained, "This group of Russian soldiers doesn't make me worry about anything!" ”
Some of his past content about the older generation of the four major families has completely aroused our curiosity, and even Quan Zi, who has always been unhappy with Zhao Yin'er, couldn't help but ask, "Go on, what about later?" Did they find the ship? ”
Zhao Yin'er laughed helplessly, "Hmph, later, what happened, my grandfather Zhao Zhi'an died unexpectedly within two years of returning from Mongolia." In the next few decades, the warlords fought with each other, today you fight me, tomorrow I will fight you, and the four major families have lost contact with each other in the war, and the Chen family has not known what happened for a long time. Wang Qiyun and Fan Changlong were very prosperous in the war, and each had its own army. However, they have a long-cherished wish in common, that is, they have never given up on the plan to find a ship. ”
"Ah, right, they went later?" Fong asked.
