Small universe of the last days

He Chengshuang came out of the water and climbed ashore with everyone. It was pitch black and the torches couldn't be lit. In the end, Ronaldinho's equipment was not flooded at all, so he turned on the searchlights to guide He Chengshuang.They entered the grotto at dusk, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning the next day.

After walking for more than half an hour, they finally found the parking place, but He Rong and Zong Yu arrived earlier than them. Thanks to He Rong for lighting a bonfire with a few twigs, the group of people saved a lot of walking by following the light of the fire. .

Ye Qingrang realized that there was one car missing from a distance, and as soon as he looked at the arrangement, he knew that the missing car was the car they came in. He quickly pulled He Chengshuang aside and said in a low voice, "Lao Jiang and Hanzhang must have had an accident." Already! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited for us.”

He Cheng sank like water on both sides, and added: "And it's still a very serious situation, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait for a few hours..."

After speaking, he asked the three people: "Which one of you has the car key?"

One of them hesitated and took a handful out of his pocket and handed it to He Chengshuang. He Chengshuang said, "We are going back in a hurry. The three of you wait in place. When the agreed time comes, as many people come out as you want."

The three of them were unwilling, but they guessed that it was probably He Chengshuang's companion who drove away, and Zhou Huai and the two members of the investigation team were also brought out by him, so they had to accept it silently.

It was almost noon when we returned to the residence. Ju Yun heard the movement and rushed out to meet them. Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, he couldn't stop looking behind them. Ye Qing let her heart sank three points after seeing her expression, and asked: "Haven't Lao Jiang and Hanzhang come back?" Seeing Ju Yun shaking his head, He Chengshuang's expression was unkind, and he sat on the chair, Ju Yun quickly asked, "Aren't you together?"

Ye Qingrang squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and said: "When we came out, we saw that the car we were in had been driven away. Our first reaction was that one of them had an accident and came back beforehand. Thinking about it now, it might not be that simple."

He Chengshuang said: "We were too confident. We didn't think about whether they were still in the grotto. Someone snatched Lao Jiang's key and escaped."

Ye Qingrang shook his head: "The possibility is very small. First of all, with Lao Jiang and Hanzhang's abilities, it is not easy to snatch the car keys from them easily. If it is a teammate on a mission, there is a very good reason to grab the keys and escape. At least, if it is an outsider, it must have arrived before He Rong, and it is very difficult to get to the parking spot faster than He Rong Zongyu without knowing the situation."

Ju Yun also thought about it: "Yes, I don't really believe that someone can seriously injure Jiang Ge. If they just stole the key, then Jiang Ge and the others will have no major problems in the grotto, but if they drive to other places by themselves ...I don't know whether it was Hua Hanzhang...or Brother Jiang who had the accident."

Ye Qing asked Ju Yun to look bitter, and sighed: "Lao Jiang is more prudent when things happen, and he can use his abilities more easily in the grotto than Hanzhang. I think Hanzhang is too impulsive to cause trouble."

He Chengshuang snorted coldly: "If Hua Hanzhang gets into trouble, it would be strange if Lao Jiang didn't fight to the death for him!"

When he said this, Ju Yun's eyes turned red, because she knew that He Chengshuang was telling the truth, and she thought so in her heart.

Ye Qing gave He Chengshuang a blank look, and comforted Ju Yun: "Let's not make wild guesses and get confused, as if something must have happened to them, maybe they are all fine, and there is no guarantee that something great will happen to them. .”

Ju Yun nodded and said: "I don't sleep at night. If they arrive at a place with a signal, they will always notify us. I will keep an eye on them all the time."

Ye Qing worried about the two of them, and he didn't have a good rest in the afternoon when he was supposed to have a rest. If he couldn't do it, he asked someone to go back to Huashan Mystery Cave to find someone. Unexpectedly, Secretary Qian and Xiao Luo came to the door in the evening.

Secretary Qian's face was not very good-looking, obviously because of Zhou Huai's matter, she managed to maintain a smile, and handed over the third document as agreed. "The matter reported by Xiao Luo this time is too important. There should be more and more investigation teams sent to the grotto in the future. The mystery of the round platform jade and the mystery of the strange water have yet to be revealed."

After the two of them finished the task follow-up, Secretary Qian left in a hurry, but Xiao Luo stayed behind, asking He Chengshuang about everything, and he would cry if he ignored him. "By the way, some of Director Deng's people also came out along the river from the bottom of the grotto. They sent a signal after knowing what happened on your side. It seems that they are about to withdraw. The people are almost gathered, and the two of you are nowhere to be seen. friend."

He Chengshuang finally decided: "I will go to the grotto to find people tomorrow morning. No matter what their condition is, they will always leave clues." As a result, before dawn the next day, Ye Qing let the phone ring loudly, turned over and took a look, it was indeed a flower. A message from Hanzhang!

The glazed iron pagoda, more than 900 years ago, has experienced 43 earthquakes, 10 hailstorms, 6 river disasters and 19 wind disasters during the five dynasties of Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing, as well as the long period of the Republic of China.It was also bombarded by the Japanese invading army, causing the tower body to be covered with cuts and bruises.Although the iron tower has suffered from natural and man-made disasters many times, it stands tall and firm like a steel cast mast in the northeast of Kaifeng City.

Hua Hanzhang traveled day and night, without stopping for two nights, and finally arrived at Kaibao Temple. The glazed pagoda looks like a cast from a distance, and its momentum is amazing; when viewed closely, it is covered with reliefs from bottom to top.From the outside to the inside, as large as the cornices and bucket arches on the top of the tower, as small as hook heads and dripping water, art can be seen everywhere;

Brick carvings include Buddhist figures, Buddhist flowers, animal patterns, and decorative patterns such as wreaths.The gourd-shaped big orb on the top of the tower is as high as two meters, and the whole tower is more than 50 meters high, tall and straight, powerful and majestic.

Now the pagoda is surrounded tightly, and in the middle of the night there are four groups of guards crossing patrols. Of course, Hua Hanzhang is not a thief who breaks into the iron tower at night. He drives the car to the gate post. The guards at the gate stay up all night , Hua Hanzhang looked at the posted notice, and took out two second-order white crystal cores.

The doorman took it, registered the number of people, and said, "Cars are not allowed in. You should stop nearby and then go in."

Hua Hanzhang went away in response, stopped the car in a hurry, got Jiang Ruoyu off the seat and carried it behind his back.When the guard saw the person who had just left and came back immediately, and there was a large dark shadow behind him, he muttered in his heart, and was surprised when he got closer to take a closer look.

Hua Hanzhang broke through the late stage of pulse coagulation, and forcibly absorbed excessive spiritual power. His whole body was covered in blood. After being washed with water for a while, he was much better, but the impurities discharged were difficult to get rid of without a good wash.

His hair and clothes were all dirty and messy, and he was worse than a beggar on the side of the road. The person he was carrying was tall, but his head was drooping on the shoulders of the person below him, and his feet dragged on the ground without making a sound.

Even when Hua Hanzhang was hunted down twice in his life, he was never in such a state of distress as he is now. Even if he is standing in front of Hua Mingrui now, he might not be able to recognize him as the always glamorous Third Young Master Hua!

Numerous guesses flashed through the guard's mind, but since Hua Hanzhang paid the money according to the rules, there was no reason not to let people in, so he had to let them go.The first four floors of the glazed pagoda are brightly lit. It seems that there are always people who practice hard in this world. This is also one of the strange places of the pagoda. Whenever someone enters the pagoda and which floor they go to, the glazed glass on the inner wall of this floor will The blue lamps would spontaneously ignite without wind, and the lamps above the fifth floor had never been lit.

Seeing Hua Hanzhang walking into the bottom, the guard thought: "Could it be that two people are dying? Want to come to the tower to rely on true energy to survive?" And people on all floors in the tower saw these two uninvited guests coming in, and they were also Everyone is surprised, the fourth floor has the most people, it seems that the third-level awakened people are trying their best to catch up with the fifth-level people, but there is only one person on the fifth floor, which is not surprising. Now there are only three fourth-level awakened people in Henan. Of course, it is impossible for such a coincidence to gather together in the middle of the night.

Seeing Hua Hanzhang on the fourth floor went up to the fifth floor, and suddenly seeing two strange men who had never seen them before on the fifth floor, everyone was quite horrified!The man on the fifth floor felt that the two of them were too embarrassed, and had no plans to get close for the time being.

Hua Hanzhang originally ignored everything around him, but after placing Jiang Ruoyu on the ground, he felt that the stone bricks on the floor were as hard as iron and as cold as ice, and felt sore, and looked at the third person present.

The man was leaning cross-legged against the wall and meditating. Hua Hanzhang walked up to him with a tone colder than the floor tiles: "Take off your clothes." They are all four-level awakened people, so the man will not be afraid of the strange man in front of him. He couldn't understand his tone even more, so he sneered and didn't answer.

Hua Hanzhang has lost his patience, and has a demon in his heart. He will no longer behave like a romantic gentleman in the past. He pulls out a small cloth bag tied to his trousers from his waist, takes out a golden oval crystal nucleus and throws it at the man's feet. , said: "Take off!"

The man looked down and was startled in his heart. The third-order crystal nucleus had edges and corners, and its color was dull, but this crystal nucleus, which was genuine in terms of breath, lost all edges and corners. Nuclear no doubt!

In fact, this crystal nucleus is taken from a mutant metallic hedgehog that is close to the fifth level. It was a fierce battle when we encountered it. Thanks to He Chengshuang and Ye Qing, the foundation building was successful. The monster won by a few points, and it was only because Hua Hanzhang finally shot through the hedgehog's left eye with an arrow to secure the victory, that He Chengshuang gave him the crystal nucleus.

The man looked at Hua Hanzhang's down-and-out appearance, but he treated him like a beggar for alms, his face was red and white, and he thought: "Even if this person is far stronger than me, I can't let him like this. He humiliated!"

Angry and looking up, he was about to make trouble, but he saw Hua Hanzhang's face was full of pain and regret, his peach eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were sad, and there was a cycle of despair and hope. Looking at the man on the ground, the situation was even worse. Oops, life and death are unknown, I can't help but think, if the tall man can't wake up, the man in front of me might go crazy too!

The man sighed, took off his down jacket, picked up the fourth-order crystal nucleus and handed it to Hua Hanzhang.Hua Hanzhang was in a trance for a while, as if waking up from a dream, and whispered: "Thank you..."

Turning around and going back, he folded the down coat under Jiang Ruoyu, sat next to him to feel it calmly, and found that the aura of this place is indeed far superior to the outside world, and whenever he meets someone, he rushes over in a hurry, can't see it but feel it.All you need to do is sit quietly, and the spiritual energy will spontaneously wind up, and you will be practicing with every breath.

Jiang Ruoyu was as stupid as a silk, Hua Hanzhang was worried that he would not be able to absorb it, and wished he could convert his own wind spirit power into earth spirit energy and pass it on to him. Seeing that the silk spirit energy was being inhaled by him continuously, although the effect was minimal, it finally worked. He couldn't help but let go of the boulder in his heart, changed his mind, and cut off the spiritual energy, just asking Jiang Ruoyu to absorb more.
