Chapter 90: Returning the Body
There were only four people who entered the cave, the team leader who led the way, the second child, Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong, and the others stayed outside.
In fact, such a candidate is also helpless, except for the three of them who lead the way, the rest are not the leadership, although it is credible but dare not fully trust, fortunately there is no danger in it, so it is okay.
The cave was not so complicated, it was empty, as if there was nothing but naturally growing plants and stone walls, but at the end of the day, I found a stone monument. Just like the squad leader said, the stele is full of traces of the vicissitudes of time, even if time can't help it too much, but it has also left some traces on it. On the stele is the inscription carved by a knife and knife, vigorous and powerful, the strength of each word into the stele is the same, the whole looks like a feeling of shocking the soul, revealing the incomparable domineering and frankness, the word is like its person, the seal carver must be a strong man who holds the supreme power and has a broad mind. Such a person should be disdainful of using this method to yin the younger generations, that is to say, later a feng shui master came to forcibly change the feng shui, so that this place has changed from a good fortune to a big murderer?
Shangguan Yi can't answer these questions, I'm afraid that the people who can answer them have already turned into loess, and the answer may be found in the tomb.
"Do you know the words on this monument?" The second child looked at Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong with expectations, of course, mainly Shangguan Yi, after all, the former's performance gave people a sense of security.
But this time, Shangguan Yi was going to disappoint him, and he didn't know this kind of quaint characters, otherwise who would still look at the font to speculate all kinds of things? Isn't it good to read the content of the characters? It is more convenient and quick to obtain information, and it is also more accurate.
When Shangguan Yi shook her head regretfully, Hua Xiangrong nodded unexpectedly, she actually recognized this font!
"What is written on it?" Shangguan Yi asked unexpectedly, since someone knew him, it was easy to say.
"This is the font of the First Dynasty, the Heavenly City, but the First Dynasty has not appeared for a long time, so it's normal that you don't know each other. This is supposed to be the cemetery of a great general of the Celestial City, he had a good relationship with the Lord of the Celestial City of that generation, and after his death, the Lord of the Celestial City personally sent him back to his hometown, and wrote an inscription for him personally, and also arranged some mechanisms. The others are probably to publicize the great achievements of the Lord of the Heavenly City and the Great General, and finally to remind the tomb robbers to enter this gate in the future, please consider your own life and death, do not make mistakes, and give your life in vain. Hua Xiangrong summarized the contents of the tablet roughly, and then continued: "It says that as long as you push open this stone tablet, the gate of hell will be opened. I feel that the entrance to the cemetery is behind me, do you want to go in? I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger in the back, and going in first is to explore the way for others, and to be the wronged leader, so let's think about it again, right?" Hua Xiangrong is not stupid, of course, her favorite thing is to let others work for her for nothing, don't even think about working for others, it's impossible.
"No, of course don't go in, go back, tell the boss the news, and then think about what to do, it's too reckless to go in first, it's not the best policy." The second child shook his head, although he was not very sharp, but he was not reckless. Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong tried their best to dissuade him, he himself felt that it was inappropriate, unless he was a fool, otherwise he would definitely not rashly open this gate of hell according to the inscription.
"If nothing else is found, then retreat first and go back to discuss countermeasures. Shangguan Yi was also very relieved to see that the second child had not forgotten his entrustment and wisely chose to retreat.
Then, the second child returned to the village with the team, sent someone to call the other two teams back, and shared the news.
"Let's make it public. The boss said lightly, this is agreed before, and this news will be known sooner or later, so it is better to tell them all, which can be regarded as showing his sincerity.
"But what if the danger in the back hurts them, they will resent you. Hua Xiangrong questioned, even if they clearly told others that there was a danger here, someone would take the lead and rush inside. If there is an accident, the blame will still be placed on the person who published the information.
After all, when it comes to the two terms of the first dynasty and the heavenly city, it is difficult for anyone to maintain a calm attitude, in case there is a treasure of the dynasty, it is the result of a lifetime of glory and wealth, if it is a treasure, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a chicken and a dog to ascend to heaven together.
What is the concept of the First Imperial Dynasty? Leading thousands of troops and horses to break through the continent, and fight to the end, the whole world is not the imperial land, and all those who are people are my people, and once the order is issued, it can call on all forces in the world. This is the first dynasty, this life to suppress the heroes of the world.
Celestial City refers to a magnificent city in the continent, its position on the continent is quite special, prosperous, powerful but never born, only the lord of the first dynasty can enter the heavenly city, if there is no dynasty, then according to the rules of the heavenly city, it will continue to multiply from generation to generation, waiting for the next generation of masters to settle in.
The First Dynasty and the Celestial City are synonymous with powerful heritage, mysterious treasures, and unparalleled power, which countless people yearn for but cannot find.
"After we parted, we felt that someone was watching our every move, and from my personal feeling, he deliberately led us to the back mountain, and the cave was found in the back mountain. In hindsight, I thought about it, can every team find the cave just by reaching the back mountain? The answer is yes. So why did we find it in Gale? When I came back, I observed that there were other teams searching outside the village, but they didn't choose the same path as us. If I'm not mistaken, this is done according to the mercenaries' guidelines, and in the event of a conflict of missions, in a situation like the one now, only one team is allowed to go to the place after the search has been completed. So if it's intentional, the people behind it have to make sure that we go to the back mountain first. Although I wanted to find a place to see the landscape and topography of the village, to be honest, I didn't choose the back mountain at the beginning, but the mountain in the other direction, but because of that person's surveillance, I still chose the back mountain, because I wanted to see what kind of medicine they sold in the gourd, and you should know the rest of the matter. After Shangguan Yi talked about the psychological process he had just made, the demeanor of the people at the scene was a little strange.
Shangguan Yi said everything about this, if they don't feel that there is a problem, then there will be ghosts.
"You mean the lone wolf has his eye on us, and wants us to expose the news and become their scapegoat. "The boss is also a little hesitant, sharing news is sharing news, but if you really bring people into the fire pit, just like Hua Xiangrong said, Gale can't afford such a price.
"I'm not sure it's a lone wolf, but it's likely that they're the ones who have the most prominent conflict with Gale, and if Gale loses a lot of money because of this expedition, it's them who have the most to gain. Shangguan Yi gave an ambiguous answer, which made them stunned again.
"If this is the hometown of the great general in the tomb, will the Lord of the Heavenly City who came to send the corpse back to his hometown as a friend kill the people of his friend's hometown and use insidious means to make them slowly decline?" Shangguan Yi did not explain, but asked another question.
"No, it's too late to give some benefits, how can you be ruthless. What's more, with his identity, status, and strength, even if there is an entanglement between the two, it should dissipate with the death of the person. He will not deal with a dead person, nor will he be angry with others because of it, and he will not use vicious means against these people, because there is no need. The boss and Shangguan Yi looked at each other for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Is there a pair of hands behind your back that is manipulating something?"
"I'm afraid yes, but I don't know if the hand that changed all this is still there, and what he wants to do. If this is what he was planning from the start, he would have wanted something, and whether the duel with the lone wolf was won or lost, we were already in another game. Shangguan Yi nodded affirmatively, all these coincidences are a bit excessive, the inexplicable plague, the cemetery that suddenly appeared, and the confusing situation are too difficult.
"What should I do then?" Hua Xiangrong became more and more excited the more she thought about it, for a killer like her, the closer she got to death, the more exciting and excited she became, and now she could faintly feel the time of her death.
"Use his way to treat his people, find a way to lure the fire back to the lone wolf mercenary group, put them on the fire to roast them, and let them obediently explore the way for us. Shangguan Yi said this sentence awkwardly, and the others looked at his smile and unconsciously felt a little sympathy for the lone wolf.
People's words are terrible, and what they say is true.
In the past, it was a lone wolf who harmed others like this, but this time it was the other way around, because Shangguan Yi was here.
Gale chose to spend the night in the mountain behind the village, so after they agreed on the information, they were stationed in the back mountain collectively, first, they turned over the back mountain again to see if there were any clues left, and secondly, according to the mercenary guidelines, so that no one could come and find the cave, as long as the bomb was not detonated, then the next development was still controllable.
Overnight, rumors swirled.
Because no one can find the entrance to the cemetery, or even know whether the cemetery exists or not, and if they refuse to give up, they will not give up, but it is time to despair or despair. At this time, as long as someone fanned the flames, someone would follow the rhythm, and as for the person who opened the curtain at the beginning, is it important?
The volcano erupted, and some people think that this so-called cemetery does not exist at all, and there is no legendary treasure of mountains and rivers here; some people think that the lone wolf has found the entrance, but they have not entered, or have already entered, but they find that the exploration is too difficult, and they need some cannon fodder to sacrifice themselves, so they spread the information of the treasure; some people think that the lone wolf mercenary group has found the entrance, and even with their strength, they have already explored and taken the treasure, and then spread the news to tease them and consume their strength, otherwise why is it so easy on the lone wolf sideThe other teams are busy looking for clues, only you are resting, and there are even conspiracy theorists who say that this cemetery exploration is too difficult, so the lone wolf mercenary group released a message to lure them over, just to borrow a knife to kill people, as long as the mercenaries near the village are killed by seventy, seven, eight, eight, eight or eight in the current village, the lone wolf mercenary group can dominate the next black list selection and stand in the coveted position.
Of course, rumors are just rumors, and even if they are reasonable, they are only speculations, and cannot be used as actual basis to convict lone wolves. With the reputation of a lone wolf, would you still be afraid of the bad results caused by this rumor? The key is that there is a clause in the mercenary guidelines, if you spread false information to fish or achieve your own goals, once discovered, the victim or witness can jointly request that the identity of the mercenary group of the spreader be revoked and the application for encirclement and suppression of them.
There are mercenaries who generally talk about mercenary standards, and there are mercenaries who really implement it as a guideline, but there are definitely not many. There are some clauses that can only be waived even if they are gale, after all, they also want to have a good meal. And the lone wolf, not to mention, doesn't take it seriously at all, and even the waste paper has a higher sense of presence than it.
But this time, the lone wolf was planted on this mercenary principle that had no sense of existence, and the group leaders decided after deliberation that if they couldn't find the entrance to the cemetery tomorrow night, they would go back the day after tomorrow to jointly report the lone wolf mercenary group for spreading false information to achieve their own bad goals. In fact, this is nothing, and the number of people who have been met by such a similar warning lone wolf has also gone up, and the key is the identity of these people. The leaders of the top ten mercenary groups are basically here, and there are some people from other mercenary groups, such a lineup can be called luxurious, if they jointly report, it is very possible for the lone wolf to be revoked from the mercenary group and become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.
Such a result is obviously unacceptable to the lone wolf, they haven't taken this opportunity to kill the gale, how can they fall first? But they are not in a hurry, anyway, the entrance to the cemetery is there, the big deal is to pierce the window paper, anyway, the reputation is already like that, this time they can still pull the gale into the water together, and the blood will not be lost.
However, the reality was not as rosy as they thought, and in the middle of the night, the gale came out and said that they had found a cave with an ancient stone monument, and behind the stone monument seemed to be the entrance to the legendary cemetery. But unfortunately, when they found it, the cave had already been visited, and even the stone tablet had traces of being moved recently, so it was uncertain whether there would be any gains this time, and what crisis they would encounter. They didn't go in anyway, and they told them as soon as they found out.
As for why this is so, the hearts of those mercenary groups who participated in the pre-operation meeting are bright and bright. Gale said that all the information would be shared, all the gains would be given to them, and Gale would not take a penny. Then they will do this, and they will not do any tricks, such as calling people up in the middle of the night to announce their discoveries, so that only those who keep their promises can be trusted, as for the lone wolf mercenary group... Hehe.
Everyone is not stupid, the gale said that someone entered the cave before them, and even the cemetery behind the stone monument, who else could there be? Except for you lone wolves who are leisurely watching the play, can there be a second mercenary group? Except for you, everyone else is trying their best to find the entrance to the cemetery, and if you are in a hurry, you are idle. Moreover, the news released by Gale further proves the credibility of some rumors, so everyone's eyes have changed when they look at the lone wolf, they used to be disdain, disgust and vigilance, but now the disdain and disgust are even worse, and the vigilance has turned into hostility, which is already the feeling of treating the lone wolf as an enemy. After all, no one will be kind and friendly to anyone who wants your life, let alone a notorious mercenary group like a lone wolf.
In this way, after a night's hard work, the image of the lone wolf mercenary group has dropped a few more steps, and it is completely stinky and can't see people. The lone wolf is actually very wronged, they are Yang Mou this time. They actually saw the sacrificial text and only then did they know that there was a huge cemetery underground, but according to the sacrificial text, it is not recommended that the younger generations have any thoughts about it, and the entrants are almost dead. The lone wolf mercenary group naturally scoffed at this statement, and a group of weak chickens would of course die if they entered, and a regular army like them would be fine if they entered. At first, they really didn't find the entrance to the cemetery, but when their regimental commander came, they cleared the village and looked elsewhere, and when they searched, they found that it was the tightly hidden cave. As for the stone tablet in the depths of the cave, it was naturally also discovered, and there was also a guest in the lone wolf mercenary group who recognized this ancient font. After he translated, the lone wolf mercenary group was both heartfelt and cowardly, involving the First Dynasty and the Lord of the Heavenly City, then the secret treasures here must be indispensable, and the quality is extremely high, but the degree of danger is also quite high, no wonder that in that sacrificial text, it dares to say that there is no life, how can it be as easy as an ordinary cemetery if it comes from the great hand of the Lord of the Heavenly City? Even if they are veterans in robbing homes and digging graves and robbing graves, it is the same.
Exploring such a cemetery is no joke, and it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out if you are not careful. So they thought of a yang scheme, people die for money, birds die for food, no matter what kind of treasure this is, put on the name of the treasure of the mountain and river map, and did not find the entrance to the cemetery in the publicity, they lone wolf didn't know anything, and secretly engaged in some means, and there were waves of workers who came to help them explore the way. It would be better if they could kill the Gale Wind gang here by the way, and if they could also kill the bosses of other mercenary groups by the way, hehe, it would be really comfortable, this chaotic place will be the only one in the future, they can do whatever they want.
But unexpectedly, before the plan was implemented, someone had already detained a black cauldron, although they did have bad intentions, but the person who removed the stone tablet and entered the cemetery was definitely not a lone wolf mercenary group. They are not stupid, they know that there are many dangers inside, and they let their own people go over to die, no matter what they do to outsiders, anyway, their own lives should be cherished, even if they die, they can't give it so freely.
This is a frame-up, Hongguoguo is a naked frame-up, this is a conspiracy of the little bitch of Shadow, he is targeting us lone wolf!
It's a pity, who will believe this? On the one hand, it is a gale mercenary group that adheres to etiquette, righteousness, honesty and beauty, and on the other hand, it is a notorious lone wolf mercenary group full of evil.
So the lone wolf simply didn't argue anything, they carried this black cauldron down, and then what about the little of Shadow?
When dealing with the so-called life-and-death enemy, if you don't make a move, it will be a serial killing move, and you can only stop after you kill the enemy.
The lone wolf with the black cauldron on his back is unanimously asked to lead the way to explore the cemetery, after all, this kind of dangerous place can be a step by step, and only those who have already walked through it can find a safe path.
Can the lone wolf agree to such a request? Of course not, not to mention whether they are willing to work for others for nothing, let's just talk about the risk, they lone wolf has never entered the cemetery at all, and they don't know what it is like inside, and as for which road is safe, how do they know?
Of course, other people don't believe their words, otherwise why would you carry the black cauldron? Don't you say that you just moved the stone tablet and looked at it, didn't go in, and deceived the three-year-old child?
The lone wolf said that it was Gale Wind's slander against them, and they didn't touch the stone tablet at all, and they didn't go inside.
Gale stood up and said that they had never said that it was a lone wolf that moved the stone tablet, let alone slandered you lone wolf, for no reason, who would they be targeted?
People are as fierce as tigers, and the situation is stronger than people.
The lone wolf is speechless, the more they explain the ghosts in their hearts, the more chaotic they are, and the more they say more wrong, as a last resort, the head of the lone wolf left a sentence "The clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, let's ride a donkey to read the record book, and we'll see." Then he turned and walked away, and got ready to explore the general's tomb.
There is no way, in the face of the coercion of a group of mercenary groups, two of them are stronger than lone wolves, and the gale is about to catch up with the lone wolf, plus the others, once they provoke the anger of the public, they may have to explain here. So he compromised, he could only compromise, but compromise does not mean that they will cooperate with them well. Anyway, if a lone wolf is not like this, he will definitely make these people pay the price.
His reliance is on the sacrificial text, although it does not say the specific terrain or mechanism, but it does say that there are some kinds of dangers, the most deadly of which is the plague. It was a poison, but they didn't know how to get rid of it, so they could only destroy the infected mechanically, and they didn't lie about it, but they eliminated the uninfected in the village along with them. When the time comes, as long as he uses these things to make a fuss, he will be able to double the grievances and humiliations he has received now.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late.
Shangguan Yi looked at the departing lone wolf leader, and squinted his eyes a little unexpectedly, could it be that he really knew something? Otherwise, how could he take the next black pot again so simply? According to the analysis of the behavior pattern of the lone wolf leader in the intelligence, he should have struggled again, but he didn't. Is it Jun Feng and Yuehui that they are putting too much pressure on them, or is there really any hole card? Is this hole card the sacrificial text or something in the village that has been taken away by them?
"Tell me to go down and walk carefully in the cemetery, and not to touch anything. "The boss obviously thought of going with Shangguan Yi, but there was no other good way to do it, so he could only respond to all changes with the same.
