Chapter Eighty-Nine: Zhang Xu Disappears
I quickly turned my head, and my gaze instantly fell on the center of the eight.
Li Zhuang nodded at me, and pointed his finger in the center.
"You're right, the real tomb is here, the burial place of our king, but don't worry, you'll be there sooner or later."
Li Zhuang looked at me with a little sympathy.
"Because you are the king's favorite candidate, a few of them can go out, but you can't. Your final destination can only be the tomb of this central point, and the king will lead you there. ”
Li Zhuang stopped talking and silently stepped aside.
"Of course, there are a lot of treasures in here, and the corpse clothes you need are also in it. When the king was buried, one of the funeral goods prepared in advance was such a one, which I personally watched the servants pack and bury with the king's coffin. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Let's not talk about what the king's purpose is, at least this time our goal is correct, and the thing is here.
As for the so-called king, it is still uncertain who will kill the deer, and if I really fight him, I will not necessarily fall behind.
"Thank you."
I beckoned Cui Hao and them to stand beside me, ready to lead them out of this place.
Before leaving, I looked back at Li Zhuang again.
"I promised you that I would not break it, and that I would bring you four corpses to help you find a suitable body. As a reward for pointing me the way forward, of course I hope you will give me another word. ”
I pointed to the location of the center point.
"Where is the entrance to your king's tomb?"
Li Zhuang looked serious and stretched out his hand to point on the last circle.
"To find the king's location in advance, you must open the last door, which is the closed door, North Xuanwu! Go and open this last tomb, and the main tomb will naturally appear. You should be able to find your way without our guidance. ”
No wonder it is said to be a suspicious grave, although there is the intention of inviting the gentleman into the urn, but it is also killing step by step.
If you are not careful, you will definitely die.
This last Northern Xuanwu, presumably, must also be full of mechanisms, and we may not be able to come out of it alive and well.
I thanked Li Zhuang and the others, took Cui Hao and them back the same way, and returned to the ground again.
At this point, the four of them followed us until they came to a stop near the entrance.
Only Li Zhuang sent us to the bottom of the entrance and looked up at our backs.
"Although the communication with you is not deep, I hope you can get out alive."
As he spoke, there was a slight smile in his voice.
"But even if you can't get out alive, then you will become a part of us, and maybe you will become our king."
I felt a chill in my heart, and quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Climbing to the top, I looked back at the three of them.
"I'll keep my promise and send you back."
Believe it or not, I grabbed the rope and climbed to the top and stepped on the ground.
I didn't take the rope back, but I still let it hang under the ground, quietly looking out at the dense forest not far away.
I turned around, Cui Hao, Wang Wangyang, Zhang Xu and the three of them all had more or less wounds on their bodies at this time.
It would be too risky to let them follow me into the jungle.
"Stay here and don't move. I'm going to go to the jungle to fulfill my promise and help them find some bodies. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Cui Hao quickly walked up to me and smashed my fist into my chest.
"Still not buddy? Why do you just look down on a few of us like this, let us stay here and wait for you to come back, I tell you that there is no door. ”
Of course, I know that Cui Hao is kind.
But the current situation is too complicated for us to be willful.
"It's safer for you to stay here, and if I take a few of you there, maybe you'll encounter even greater danger."
Deep in the forest, a breeze floated in, making a rustling sound of the leaves.
There are many shadows in this forest, and there seems to be a black shadow constantly passing by.
I have no doubt that if I enter the woods, I will be haunted by countless ghosts.
Several of them were injured, and the yang energy was already insufficient.
If you are attacked by these evil ghosts again, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it.
I don't want them to follow me into such danger.
But now not only Cui Hao, but even Wang Wangyang and they are all standing by my side with an attitude.
"Don't think about being a hero alone, since we are your partners, of course we have to go with you. And if you die, who shall I seek to repay you? ”
Zhang Xu raised his hand weakly and pointed to the dense forest in front of me.
"Come to think of it, my brother is in the woods, and now among the few of us, you are the only one who is still strong and strong, and has not been seriously injured. Several of us had wounds on our bodies, and if we were attacked by a strong enemy, we would not be able to resist at all. You can bring a few of us with you to ensure our safety. ”
I frowned and looked at Wang Wangyang.
What he said also makes sense, but with them, the risk is still too high.
Several people insisted again and again, taking advantage of my situation to follow me.
I really couldn't change the minds of the three of them alone, so I had to finally compromise and let the three of them follow me.
"Alright, no more say. I promise you. ”
With that, I pulled the three of them behind me, took out the hemp rope and pinched the top, tied a few knots to the tail end, and tied it to their wrists.
"You take this well, and when you walk halfway, if you encounter any danger, I can also react in time to support and prevent a few of you from being taken captive."
I really don't feel at ease, so I can only use this method to lead them into the jungle.
A few people nodded, not refuting what I meant.
After we went deep into the dense forest, Cui Hao followed behind me, followed by Wang Wangyang, and Zhang Xu was in charge of the break.
The forest is deep and dense, and there are many ghosts in it.
As we walked, countless black shadows passed over us.
It's just that whenever we pay attention, these black shadows will flash by and quickly disappear in front of our eyes.
Luckily, none of these things had any malicious intent, and they didn't launch a surprise attack on us.
I took out the compass, positioned the northeast position, pinched a handful of dirt on the ground, photographed three copper coins, and took out an ink fountain line to guide the direction.
Gen is a mountain. The sky is full of earth, and the thunder is in the mountains. Away from the fire and water, with the wind of Zexun.
Mountains communicate the earth's veins, and naturally they can help us judge the direction with the help of the earthy atmosphere.
After scattering the dirt on the compass's position, I pulled out the ink fountain line, tied a knot on top, and placed the other end on the ground.
I recited the mantra, and the golden light of the Dao Dao followed the ink fountain line to the ground, and the ink fountain line was raised, carrying a golden light that rose with the ground.
The golden thread coiled in front of me, sliding swiftly forward along the dirt, the end of the thread pointing to the southwest.
"Let's go, there should be the body we're looking for here."
I watched the three of them wave their hands and tell them to follow immediately.
Cui Hao was responsible for greeting Wang Wangyang and Zhang Xu, and followed closely behind me, not daring to fall behind.
I speed up.
The golden thread is like a golden worm, breaking through the soil, with a ray of golden light to guide us forward.
Finally, there was a burst of openness ahead.
In front of us, there was a waterhole, covered with green screens and aquatic plants, and many unknown branches and fallen leaves.
In the middle of the deep pool, there are constantly bubbles of water, and it seems that there are strange creatures hidden under it, constantly tumbling under the black water, rolling out ripples and ripples.
As the ripples vibrate, a stench of decay hits the face.
Cui Hao couldn't help but cover his nose.
"I'll go, this place stinks, right?"
I waved at him and told him not to say more.
"There's a creature here, too, and I'm not sure what it is, so keep your voice quiet, don't alarm the things down there."
I took out my mahogany sword, grabbed the hilt and pointed at the dark pool, slowly approaching the edge.
By this time the golden thread had broken through the dirt and came to the edge of the pool, but it stopped here and did not move.
"What does this line mean? Is it in a pool? ”
I shook my head, a little confused.
I drove the magic trick only to drive the golden thread to help me find the whereabouts of the corpse of the whole shell, but if the corpse fell into a waterhole, it would accelerate the decay.
Under such circumstances, can this corpse really be preserved intact?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Cui Hao probed his brain and walked to my side, looking down the water curiously.
"Is there anything in here?"
And just as we were checking the situation at the edge of the pond, suddenly the ripples under the water were turbulent, and the bubbles burst and parted on both sides.
The smelly pool was blown up in all directions, and even some muddy sewage spots flew on us.
Cui Hao was so frightened that he quickly took a half step back.
"I'll go, there's something to come out."
I shoved him behind me and shouted behind my back.
"Wang Wangyang, Zhang Xu, both of you be careful, there is something in this pool of water, don't be caught by this thing."
As soon as my voice fell, Wang Wangyang answered loudly, not to mention Cui Hao, this kid was standing by my side.
However, I waited for a few seconds, but I never waited for Zhang Xu's response.
I looked behind me in confusion.
For a moment, I couldn't help but freeze in place.
Wang Wangyang saw that my expression was different, so he turned his head and followed my gaze to look behind him.
Suddenly, he also swallowed nervously.
"Zhang Xu, where did you go? Where are you? ”
I saw that behind Wang Wangyang, the knot that was supposed to be tied to Zhang Xu fell to the ground at this time, and there was no shadow of Zhang Xu at all!
Zhang Xu, this guy, disappeared so silently.
