lost to time
Chapter 10
: "Let's call him Wu Xie."
"Well, it's better for me to go. If it's not right, I can feel where the problem is." Wu Xie still believes in himself in terms of perception.
Zhang Qishan also saw that Wu Xie's reaction and sensitivity to the environment were stronger than ordinary people, so he nodded and said, "Tie the rope, don't worry, I will watch you from behind."
After Wu Xie was ready, she held a handful of fragments in her palm and covered her nose, and a choking stench went straight into her lungs.
It seemed to be feasible, Wu Xie walked deep alone, but did not smell other smells, but after walking for about three to forty meters, he heard a slight hissing sound intermittently, like a heavy sack in the air. Dragging on the ground.
The voice came from the depths of the corridor where the flashlight couldn't reach, Wu Xie wasn't very scared, but just wondering if his guess was wrong?The footsteps had already stopped, and the hand holding the eggshell was pressing on the nose, not caring about the unpleasant smell and sniffing desperately.
Sure enough, he didn't hear the strange voice again for a while, Wu Xie felt relieved, turned around and saw the blurred figures of Zhang Qishan and Kun'er, waved the flashlight to indicate that he was safe, and then continued to walk forward.The light of the flashlight shone straight into the darkness, and Wu Xie suddenly saw two bright green lanterns floating in the darkness, reflecting the light of the flashlight with a crystal texture.
Wu Xie stopped in shock, and the two lanterns hung motionless in the air. Could it be the night pearl hanging in the main tomb?But this night pearl seems to hang a little too low.Unable to figure out what it was, Wu Xie slowly approached while looking at it.
Before he took two steps, he saw the two lanterns shaking regularly, and then the hissing sound sounded again, even closer than before, and challenged Wu Xie's nerves into his ears.Is this a hallucination or a real scene?Wu Xie looked around and couldn't tell the difference. No matter how hard he tried to sniff, the smell of the eggshell in his hand was unbearable. Could it be that the eggshell has a limited effect?Want to imitate Zhang Qishan and concentrate on biting his tongue, although it seems that there is pain but it is not so clear.It's an illusion, it's just that the mental strength is not enough, so Zhang Qishan's method doesn't work, it seems that he can only wait to be awakened.
Maybe falling into hallucinations will prolong the sense of time. Wu Xie watched the lanterns swaying towards him. When he saw their real bodies, even Wu Xie felt some trembling in his calves. Those two lanterns were the eyes of a giant phosphorus python.
This phosphorus python was thicker than the stone sculptures seen before. It swam around and its head was in front of Wu Xie in a blink of an eye.At this time, if you turn around and run, you will only be attacked from behind, although judging from the disparity in strength, there is not even a second difference between a frontal attack and a rear attack.
The black scales all over the body are arranged layer by layer, the hard scales at the junction of the abdomen and back scrape the ground and make a hissing sound, the head is covered with lumps of different sizes, and a pair of sinister eyes are staring at Wu Xie, But he was not in a hurry to attack, he just slowly rolled up and stood two or three meters away from Wu Xie, with his head against the top of the tunnel.
Wu Xie slowly turned sideways, glanced at the entrance of the tunnel, and Zhang Qishan who was waiting there was gone.It must be a hallucination, even though it is certain, one person and one snake are staring at each other like this, the oppressive force of looking down still makes Wu Xie want to run away.
Wu Xie backed slowly involuntarily. At first, the phosphorus python didn't respond. When Wu Xie withdrew more than ten meters, he suddenly leaned out and followed closely. This almost immediately rushed to Wu Xie's face, scaring Wu Xie. Xie was shocked all over, and he could already smell the smell of rotting corpses from its mouth with the letter curled up.
It seems that they don't want Wu Xie to escape from its range of attack. This hallucination produces things that are scary but thought in the mind. If the hallucination is produced based on the human heart, can it be controlled by the human heart?
Wu Xie pointed at the phosphorus python and shouted loudly, "Get down!"
Phosphorus python shrank slightly, Wu Xie thought there was something to be done, but before he could be happy, the phosphorous python opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Wu Xie.
29 chapter
Fortunately, Wu Xie reacted quickly, curled up and rolled sideways, and the phosphorus python brushed against his back.Falling on the ground, Wu Xie felt his back was hot and numb with pain. He tried to stand up and run, but he couldn't move. His legs were weak and he couldn't lift his strength. Maybe he injured his spine.Wu Xie reluctantly dragged her body back and leaned against the stone wall. Why didn't she wake up from this level of pain?Is death in hallucinations real death?
At this time, the Phosphorous Python had already rolled up and swam back, facing Wu Xie who had no ability to resist, he opened his mouth and bit it down without hesitation.The snake saliva dripping on his face was cold and sticky, and Wu Xie felt that if he didn't wake up or be bitten to death, he would be disgusted to death.
What is Zhang Qishan dawdling about!Just as Wu Xie was thinking about it, a tingling pain suddenly came from the tip of his left middle finger. This small starting point suppressed all other sensations, and with a swallowing force, the pain instantly hit his whole body.Wu Xie was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, he found that all the pictures in front of him had changed instantly. He was half lying in Zhang Qishan's arms, and the bitten finger was done by the little white mastiff. Seeing Wu Xie wake up, it blinked dimly. Eyes curled his head back and went back to sleep.
"How is it?" Zhang Qishan asked worriedly.
Wu Xie didn't answer, but looked at his palm first, the eggshell fragments still remained between his fingers, and the smell was still strong at the tip of his nose.
Connecting all the clues together, Wu Xie probably has the most confidence in his guess.
It's not that the smell of these eggshells is useless for hallucinations, but that at the moment of hallucinations, you can't control your body, and you can no longer put the eggshells in front of your nose.At that time, Wu Xie felt that the eggshell had no taste, but Wu Xie's body had already fallen into a coma at that time.
And the hallucinogens absorbed into the body will accumulate accordingly, the more inhaled, the harder it is to wake up.As for whether the death in the hallucination will bring about real death, it is not important for the body that can no longer be awakened.
Telling these to Zhang Qishan, Wu Xie sighed, "This kind of trap made of air is really the most perfect protective barrier for the tomb."
"Can you be sure that these eggshells are useful? Just imagine, since such a mechanism has been designed, there is absolutely no need to leave a cracking method outside the mechanism." Zhang Qishan did not quite agree.
"There was a moment in the middle when the hallucinations appeared and disappeared. I think this direction is not wrong. This mutual generation and mutual restraint was not left by the person who designed the tomb." This time the coma was obviously deeper than the last time, Wu Xie stood up and moved a little The paralyzed hands and feet are "caused by the evolutionary changes of the lyre insects during their long-term existence. I think this is beyond the designer's calculations. Living things are uncontrollable, and they will keep changing consciously or unconsciously."
"We must find a way to keep the taste of that thing." Zhang Qishan was thoughtful.
"I already have a solution, try again." Wu Xie picked a larger eggshell from the water again.
Thinking of what Wu Xie said about not being able to wake up, Zhang Qishan couldn't help being frightened, stopped him and said, "I'll go, tell me what to do."
Wu Xie ignored him, glanced at him lightly and said, "Zhang Qishan, you are a hero and I am not a coward. I don't care what happened to you in the past. From today on, you have to understand that only you can protect others if you are alive. If I am unconscious, You and Kun'er can take me out, but if you're unconscious, I can't do it. Don't worry, there's a little white mastiff."
Looking at Kun'er who was about to speak, Wu Xie also stared at him, "Don't be wordy, only I can verify my speculation."
Wu Xie stopped talking nonsense with them, pressed two eggshells behind the back of her tongue, nodded to Zhang Qishan and walked into the corridor again.This time Wu Xie didn't look back, and soon he saw a scene he hadn't seen before. More than half of the corridor collapsed, and there was a huge tunnel at the top.
Wu Xie stepped on the gravel on the ground, making a slight crash, the gravel was piled loose, and there was no trace of anyone stepping on it.The hallucinogenic smell on the other side of the collapse became more intense, but the stench and bitterness in the throat were still there, and no loss of consciousness or hallucinations appeared. Wu Xie waited for a while to confirm that he was not affected by the smell, and turned back to tug on the rope , signaling them to follow.
Zhang Qishan and Kuner quickly rushed to Wu Xie's side, Zhang Qishan squeezed Wu Xie's arm.Because it was inconvenient to talk, the three of them hurriedly put away the rope and stepped on the pile of rubble to move forward.There is not much distance left in the corridor after the robbery, and it takes about ten minutes to reach the next tomb.
It's just unexpected that this is not the main tomb, unless a queen is buried here.
However, this is not the most surprising thing. Directly in front of the tomb is a pool that occupies almost half of the area. In the pool, there are huge blood-red multi-layered flowers. Half of the flowers are underwater, and the petals protrude obliquely out of the water. In the center of the stamen is a coffin that is more than six feet wide. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but it is also blood red, but slightly darker than the color of the flower.
At the very edge of each petal, there is a little hot white light, the flame is not bright, but it is flickering, and the burning smell is exactly that kind of confusing smell.If you look carefully, you will find that the petals are still floating very slightly, just like a flower cluster on the ground with the breeze.The blood-red flowers bloomed in the dark underground tomb room. This extremely gorgeous and strong visual stimulation was amazing. Wu Xie couldn't help but clenched Zhang Qishan's hand tightly.
The little white mastiff poked its head out of Wu Xie's pocket, probably waking up, but didn't respond to the scene in front of it, so there shouldn't be anything too dangerous.Wu Xie followed Zhang Qishan to the pool. The water surface was not too turbid, it was underground running water, and the part of the flowers under the water could be clearly seen.The petals were only a few inches away from the edge of the pond, and Wu Xie felt strange seeing the petals covered with tiny holes.Zhang Qishan dipped his hand into the pool water, mixed with the heat of the hot spring, the water temperature was just right for these things to grow.
"It's coral." Zhang Qishan said vaguely with the back of his tongue.
The reason why this coral flower can burn for so long is that apart from the very slow consumption of the edge, the underwater part is still growing.Everything in this mausoleum is designed with the goal of permanence.
An ancient tomb related to infinite time, what Wu Xie cares about at this moment is what the Japanese conspiracy is.
Wu Xie searched his guts for this kind of coral, but he couldn't figure out what kind it was. Although he didn't know who was buried, the date had to be pushed forward at least a little bit.A long-diameter flower is carved on the coffin, which looks similar to the coral flower below.
There has only been one female emperor in history, and the one who will be symbolized by flowers is more like a funeral concubine.But why is there such a ridiculous thing as the tombs of the general and the concubine being connected? It is impossible to bury Xia Yingchun and Wu Qi who conspired to rebel here.

Zhang Qishan looked at the coffin in the flower stamens, and Wu Xie probably guessed what he was thinking, and said, "It doesn't look like this is the main tomb, but it is indeed at the location we predicted. It is said that the robbery hole dug by Master Jiu and the others is Here, I don’t know why they are behind us, but they all come—”
Come here, these four words are really a curse, Zhang Qishan nodded, hesitant because he was afraid of missing what he was really looking for, but since there is no clearer clue now, let’s open the coffin, something is wrong Good things can also be used as military pay.
"That being said, the whistle coffins shipped out earlier are already so dangerous." Wu Xie said, "We don't have the conditions to seal the coffin with molten iron now, so we must be more careful when opening this one."
"Buddha, I'll go." Kun'er unloaded her backpack, took out the iron hook rope and carried it on her shoulders.
Stepping over the edge of the petals, Kun'er stepped on the petals a few times to test the tolerance of the petals. After confirming that there was no problem, she jumped up and quickly climbed to the edge of the coffin. After walking around the coffin, she turned around in wonder and shouted: "Lord Buddha!" , no gaps, no coffin nails."
"What made the coffin?" Zhang Qishan asked.
Kun'er had already touched it with his hands, and the inner and outer coffins were as warm as his hands. Although the material looked like wood grain, it was much finer than wood, and he couldn't tell the difference based on his knowledge.
"Smash it open." Zhang Qishan said after listening.
Wu Xie was a little distressed, "It must be a good thing, and the complete coffin is also quite valuable when shipped out."
Zhang Qishan felt that he had discovered Wu Xie's money-lovers by accident, and said with a smile, "It's not auspicious if everyone wants a blood-red coffin."
"I also can't understand this, why the owner of the tomb uses this kind of coffin."
"Although I don't know what the meaning of this mausoleum is, what is certain is that the standard of their design is definitely not the general Feng Shui of seeking good luck."
"That's true. Such a blood-red coffin is buried in the death spot, so it can be regarded as extremely fierce?"
"Ah."
He raised the iron hook and slammed it hard at the coffin, causing debris to splash everywhere. It was good news that he could cut it open. The coffin was thinner than expected, and a hole was opened in the middle after two strokes, allowing a hand to enter. , Kun'er reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Zhang Qishan's sharp eyes, "Open it a little more!"
"Yes." After the gap was made, most of the coffin was lifted in two or three strokes, revealing the contents inside.
"Buddha—it's full of—blood."
If there is water in the coffin, it is okay to say that it is because of the decay of the corpse, but it is not normal to have water in the coffin, let alone bloody water.It is really unlucky to see such a thing after opening the coffin, Zhang Qishan asked: "Can you see anything underwater?"
Kun'er glanced at it with the flashlight and said: "I can't see it." Probably because he couldn't wait for Zhang Qishan's instructions, and secondly, he didn't see any reaction underwater after such a short time. It stands to reason that there should be a coffin inside the coffin. So Kun'er said, "I'll feel what's inside."
Kun'er felt something was wrong when she put her hand in. The blood was deeper than her arm. The expected coffin did not exist, but the scariest thing was not having it.As soon as he brought his hand back, something wrapped around his forearm and dragged him desperately into the coffin.
Kun'er didn't want to make a sound yet, she supported the edge of the coffin with one hand and pulled it out, feeling that the force inside was not completely irresistible, but a few slender things made her wrist numb.Zhang Qishan saw the clue at a glance, jumped up two steps and rushed to the edge of the coffin, raised the iron hook and knocked on the lower edge of the coffin, several times smashed through and blood flowed out.Wu Xie also rushed to help Kun'er pull out the arm, only to see that the sleeves below the forearm were all torn, and the skin was red and covered with tiny rashes.
"What is it?" Wu Xie asked.
"I don't know. Is it poisonous?" Kun'er retreated to the side to deal with it by herself.
"No, it's a general contact reaction to corpse bacteria." Wu Xie said and followed Zhang Qishan to watch, but Zhang Qishan pushed back two steps.The blood soon bottomed out, and the red vines on the four sides of the coffin were intertwined, supporting a corpse that was basically completely decomposed in the middle. Because it was soaked in water, the surface of the corpse was not well preserved. From the things buried with it, it was guessed that it was a female corpse. .The clothes on the female corpse were only threads, and the rest were all melted into the water. It didn't look like she could cheat the corpse. Wu Xie got closer and closer, and felt that something was wrong with these vines, and suddenly found clues pointing to the coffin. Nei said: "These vines are integrated with the coffin."
"Well, I don't know what caught Kun'er." Zhang Qishan picked up the female corpse with a long knife, and a little red light slipped from her hair as he touched it.
Wu Xie saw what seemed to be a stone with sharp eyes, falling on the side of the female corpse's face.
Maybe it was just the palm of the female corpse hanging on Kun'er's hand with the stirring of the liquid just now, adding psychological hints will produce the feeling of being attacked and pulled, which almost always happens to people who fight for the first time.So when Wu Xie saw clearly that it was a necklace that fell down, she leaned over to pick it up without hesitation. It was a pure gold necklace with jade beads on it. The gold chain was soaked in water until it turned dark copper, with a triangular red coral hanging in the middle. , there was a mark engraved on the red coral, and Wu Xie was about to take it out for a closer look, when the female corpse suddenly turned over and bit Wu Xie's wrist.
It's really a fucking dog, Zhang Qishan watched you for a long time and you didn't cheat, why did you pick up your necklace or take advantage of you? !Or do zongzi also like to pick soft persimmons?Wu Xie cursed in his heart, trying to pull back his hand, not forgetting to hold on to the necklace.Zhang Qishan chopped off the head of the female corpse with a knife, and Wu Xie fell beside the coffin with a rotten head hanging on his hand as soon as he lost his strength.With a movement of the wrist, the female corpse's head fell off and rolled aside. Wu Xie quickly looked at her wrist, not even leaving a mark, but the female corpse suddenly turned over and her gums got stuck on her wrist.
But why did the female corpse suddenly turn over by itself! ?Wu Xie quickly stuffed the necklace into her pocket, and turned her head to look at the coffin. The headless female corpse slowly rose from the coffin to a height of more than two meters. Behind her were those blood-red vines.
The headless carrion swayed from side to side with the twisting of the vines, and the fluttering skirts on its body danced in mid-air, matching with the floating petals around it, forming a look of Avici Hell.As the female corpse swayed, Wu Xie saw that her back was pierced by vines. This corpse might have been hollowed out and occupied by vines before she died.Is it for nutrition?Wu Xie didn't think it was like it, it was more like trying to give the vine a concrete appearance, so that the vine had a humanoid appearance.
What is going to be buried here is not a female corpse at all, the real owner of this tomb is this coffin!The female corpse is just a funeral object and a victim!
31 chapter
Wu Xie sat on the ground staring at this weird scene, and the tugging from the trousers brought him back to his senses.The little white mastiff bit Wu Xie's trousers and dragged it in the opposite direction, sucking the wings of his nose and showing a silent scowl.
Wu Xie got up quietly, and called Zhang Qishan and Kun'er to retreat together. The three of them couldn't help but hold their breath for something that could scare even the little white mastiff. Fortunately, although the vine stood there, it didn't take a step closer.
Just as he retreated to the edge of the pool, many black figures suddenly appeared from under the water, splashing water all over his body.Without hesitation, Zhang Qishan turned around and hugged Wu Xie and rolled over, stood up and drew his gun in front of him to see what came out.
It was very chaotic in front of me, and suddenly there was more light from the flashlight swaying around, illuminating the tomb a lot brighter. There were many people standing by the pool, watching the headless female corpse dancing in the flower stamens, they all let out crazy screams, raised their hands The machine gun fired continuously, and the vines that made the sound of the gunfire more exciting crawled out of the coffin.Somebody's gun exploded with a bang, which frightened the frightened birds to flee in all directions.
It was the Japanese army, Zhang Qishan pressed Wu Xie to hide in the corner.
The shooting lasted only half a minute, and because of the hallucinogenic gas from the coral flower, these people fell to the ground one after another. In the chaos, only someone shouted: "Don't shoot! Hold your breath!!" However, not many people listened to him, only Five or six people fled the pool after him, and the rest lay in disarray on the ground.
The vines lost their target, and dropped the female corpse to roll up a man on the ground. The tip of each vine looked like a multi-clawed barb, and pulled it out from the man's back, then led him back into the coffin.
After everything happened in an instant, it returned to calm. Zhang Qishan stood up and looked at Jie Jiu who was staring at him.
"Buddha." When Zhang Qishan approached, Xie Jiu greeted him with a half-smile.
Zhang Qishan glanced over, and behind him were Huo Xiangu and one of her men, the other three were Japanese, and one of them was a Japanese officer.When explaining her identity in front of these people, Xie Jiu didn't care about Zhang Qishan's face at all.
"Jiuye." Zhang Qishan nodded slightly, and hummed softly.
"It seems like I'll last longer than anyone else." Although Xie Jiu looked embarrassed, his face was as pale as paper, and the cotton muff in his hand had been lost somewhere, but he still had his bearing and showed no timidity.
Zhang Qishan didn't say a word, he put his hands in his arms and looked at Jiu Hanxiao with a peaceful reconciliation.
But the Japanese officer couldn't bear it. He didn't know what he encountered along the way. His spirit was already on the verge of collapse. He grabbed Jie Jiu's arm desperately and said, "What is this thing! Can those people still be saved!?"
Although Xie Jiu didn't show it, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes inadvertently, and he said lightly: "There is some salvation, but let's save your breath."
"Have you been holding back your breath?! Jie Jiu! How many people have died following you along the way!—"
Xie Jiuyi waved his hands and scolded: "What's the matter if a few people die in the next big tomb! Shut up!"
Enraged, the Japanese officer pointed his gun at Xie Jiu's head. Following his actions, someone pointed a gun at Zhang Qishan. The officer said coldly, "Take us away now! Buddha is fine, take us right away." go out."
Zhang Qishan laughed, but he didn't care about the gun, he just sneered and said to Xie Jiu: "Your team is not very easy to lead."
"To each other." Xie Jiu glanced at Wu Xie and Kun'er, "I'm still stupefied with two of you, Master Buddha, do you have no one under your command?"
"This place is a bit weird, but it doesn't need to mobilize people. Jiuye, you have nothing else, but you are still a little timid."
"Shut up!!" The Japanese officer saw another soldier fall behind him, and roared angrily, waving the gun in his hand, "I'll count to three, and if no one leads the way, I'll kill you all!"
Before he started counting, Huo Xiangu, who had a wound on her arm, fell down first.Wu Xie is soft-hearted, at least he is from Nine Gates, and I heard that he has a good relationship with his grandfather. Although he is working for the Japanese now, it may just be a temporary errand, so he won't turn his back on him.Xie Jiuhe's subordinates glanced at Huo Xiangu, but they didn't intend to help her, so Wu Xie rushed forward.
Seeing Wu Xie's actions, the Japanese officer's first reaction was that he wanted to sneak attack, so he turned his gun and shot directly without saying a word.
Zhang Qishan pushed Wu Xie down with one hand, turned over from his back, raised his foot and kicked the gun away, then kicked the officer's neck with his back kick, and at the same time, another Japanese was restrained by Kun'er.Zhang Qishan picked up the gun and walked towards him, pointed to his head and turned to Xie Jiu: "Master Jiu, tell me about your people."
"Jiuye, Jiuye—" the Japanese lay on the ground crying for help.
"I already recognize you, Lord Buddha, kill me." Xie Jiu said without hesitation before he begged for mercy.
Zhang Qishan didn't intend to spare him at all, but after exploring Xie Jiu's tone, he shot the Japanese man without saying a word, looked at Xie Jiu and said, "Didn't you just say so?"
"Huh—" Xie Jiu said with a smile, "I understand me as a Buddha."
"I don't want to understand your foolishness."
Xie Jiu wanted to imply that Zhang Qishan would kill these people if he had the chance. Zhang Qishan just didn't like Xie Jiu's temperament. However, the harm to people is real.
Wu Xie helped Xiangu Huo up, stuffed an eggshell into her mouth, and was patting him awake.Zhang Qishan walked to him and knelt down, "Why are you so impulsive, what if you get hurt?"
"I heard that she has a good relationship with grandpa. She is from the Nine Gates after all. It's not good to see death." Wu Xie saw Huo Xiangu blinking her eyelids and regained consciousness. She felt relieved and turned her head to smile at Zhang Qishan, revealing the corners of her mouth. Shallow dimples, afraid that other people would hear, leaned close to his ear and said: "Besides, you must be able to handle it, you will protect me."
With others around, it was difficult for Zhang Qishan to make excessive movements, so he just gently shook Wu Xie's hand through the shadow.Being relied on is a kind of responsibility, but the previous responsibilities were too heavy, only this time there is a little light pleasure in the heavy, but the lighter it is, the more unbearable it is. I don’t know why this kind of emotion arises, maybe Also out of control.This time, Zhang Qishan might really fall into the hands of this kind little fox.
"Don't do this next time." Although no accident happened, Zhang Qishan still reminded Wu Xie.
"En." Wu Xie heard it but didn't care.
Wu Xie also handed the eggshell to Xie Jiu, but after Xie Jiu took it, he asked, "Who is your grandfather?"
"Ok?"
"I just heard you say that Huo Xiangu has a good relationship with your grandfather. Who is your grandfather?"
"My grandpa—" Wu Xie regretted what he had said just now, and looked at Zhang Qishan for help.
32 chapter
Zhang Qishan nodded, "Speak."
Wu Xie noticed that Zhang Qishan looked away for a moment, and immediately thought that the only ones who really knew about his identity were his grandfather and Zhang Qishan, not even Er Yuehong, let alone Xie Jiu who needed to be on guard in Zhang Qishan's mouth.Immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Qishan's look, and pretended to be helpless, he said: "Old Dog Wu is my cousin. He sent a letter to my family a few years ago saying that he wanted to marry a girl. Grandpa said that girl's family is old with ours. Acquaintance, it’s a good thing, let me give a gift instead of my family.” Wu Xie actually didn’t know if Grandpa and Huo Xiangu had this kind of relationship, but after listening to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong’s chatting tone before, he guessed that there might be such a relationship Secretly, in this case, I can only sell my father for glory.
"Oh——" Xie Jiu didn't really believe it, although this young man was somewhat similar to Wu Laogou, so he asked again, "Then how did you come here?"
"Lama." Without hesitation, Wu Xie pointed at Zhang Qishan, "I saw the Buddha that day, and we had a few conversations. The Buddha said that although I am weak in skills, I have good knowledge, and I spent a lot of money to invite me."
This is also reasonable, it is naturally inconvenient for the Buddha to take more of his own people when he is dispatched secretly, besides, Wu Xie answered the questions fluently, there is no flaw, and his age and appearance are similar.
At this time, Xiangu Huo woke up completely, and Zhang Qishan said: "Jiuye, if it's convenient, you can take him back the same way, let's settle for working for the Japanese, and we will have a good reputation on the road from now on."
"Heh, Zhang Qishan, do you know what this place is? So I wanted to eat it all by myself." Xie Jiu sneered, thinking about the muff with both hands, and found that the cotton muff had been lost early in the morning, he retracted his arms and threw it down.
Zhang Qishan didn't care about being misunderstood, but Wu Xie took a step forward and happened to stop Zhang Qishan, "Jiuye? I said you should be the one who didn't know. Could it be that you think the information given by the Japanese is complete and true?" Is that true? If that’s the case, you wouldn’t be in such a mess and just caught up with us. The affairs of the Chinese are indeed complicated and weird in all aspects, but if you really want to speculate, it’s still us Chinese I can guess more accurately, don’t you think so? Who knows more and who knows less, isn’t it clear at a glance? Don’t say that the Buddha is not thinking like this, even if he is, what can you do? So since you are on the side of the Japanese, Master Jiu, don't say anything."
These words were exactly what Zhang Qishan wanted to say, but he couldn't speak them himself. He was worried that the adjutant who was talking to him was not around this time, but he didn't expect Wu Xie to say every word of his own thoughts, so he couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
Jie Jiu, who always kept a straight body, suddenly burst into laughter, "Lord Buddha, your price is not in vain. It's not bad, but it's impossible to ask me to return empty-handed when I get here. Why don't you all cooperate and go your own way?" , I rounded up the Japanese side, and said that there is nothing here to fool around casually, everyone is good, what do you think? Of course, brother, you don’t have any money, and I’ll add it to you One portion."
Xie Jiu's words are both painful and painful, and at the end he will buy people's hearts by the way, Wu Xie secretly smiled, and did not expose it right now, just nodded and said: "Thank you Jiu Ye first, but it depends on the Buddha, I am an honest person, eat For this bowl of rice, the rules have to be the rules.”
"That's natural." Xie Jiu tilted his chin slightly and looked at Zhang Qishan.
It would be a thorn in my heart for Xie Jiu to let go, it would be better to stay by my side and feel at ease. Since Xie Jiu fell here, Er Yuehong must be coming soon, and it will not be difficult to restrain Xie Jiu and Huo Xiangu by then.Zhang Qishan had made up his mind without hesitation, and asked directly: "The information you got, where is the main tomb?"
"According to the records of the Aojia in the hands of the Japanese, the main tomb can be reached along the underground river, so the robbery hole we dug was not to find the dragon's cave but to find the underground river. It really took a lot of time. I don’t know what there is, and I didn’t have time to run out when I saw an exit. Speaking of which, I seem to have seen the second master, following us, and now I don’t know where it was washed away by the current.”
"What exactly are the Japanese looking for?" Wu Xie asked.Even though he planned not to go back, he was still curious about what made him travel here.
Xie Jiu resumed his inscrutable look, "Brother, you just said, how could I get so much information, the Japanese officer who contacted me is called Kanda Shochu—"
"Major General of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army!" Zhang Qishan gritted his teeth. (Nanjing Defense War God Tian Zhengzhong fought head-on with the troops led by Zhang Qishan, and Zhang Qishan was later ordered to withdraw. In 1941, Kanda served as the lieutenant general of the Sixth Division, participated in the second and third Changsha battles, and met Zhang Qishan on the battlefield again. )
"Yes, Lord Buddha knows?"
"It's not just acquaintance, you continue to talk."
"Where did he get the news? I really don't know. It's not the first time that the armored turtle you found appeared in the world. The last time the Japanese army brought out not only the coffin, but also a lot of armored turtles. It records the content of this tomb—the vortex, and there is not much information that can be translated. They have already put Mr. Dong Zuobin under house arrest, but the progress is still slow.”
"The whirlpool?" Zhang Qishan frowned, and the whole thing became more and more weird, "Then what did the Japanese ask you to look for in the tomb?"
"I don't know, I just said that that thing doesn't need any hints, I just need to see it at a glance. And there is absolutely no way to take that thing away, my task is to find the way to it."
"Can't you take it away?——" Wu Xie bit her finger and whispered to herself. If you can't take it away, does it mean that it is connected to the mountain?No, this mountain is man-made. If you really want to move it, there is absolutely no reason why you can't move it.What would make people dare to assert that they would never take it away?Wu Xie thought a lot and still had no idea, secretly shaking his head at Zhang Qishan's probing gaze.
"Jiuye, since you can't take it away, what is the purpose of your trip?" Wu Xie inquired.
Xie Jiu smiled slightly, "There is such a magnificent mausoleum right under your nose, how can you not be worthy of the name of Jiumen if you don't come to see it, and some people provide information on their own initiative, so why not take advantage of it."
Just for insight?How could it be so simple, Wu Xie pouted.
"Anyway, we've been here for too long. Let's think about the next step. Don't think about the underground river. I know it's not that simple." Xie Jiu thinks about the things in the river Still a little scared.
Zhang Qishan beckoned to Kun'er: "Go and see if those Japanese are dead or not." This meant that those who were not dead would be given a ride, then turned to Wu Xie and said, "Go and help Kun'er, In case there is someone who goes back to report the letter, I am not afraid of coming, anyway, I can’t last a few minutes.”
Wu Xie was taken aback, how could Zhang Qishan let himself do this kind of thing, and these few words are not only unnecessary, but also somewhat contradictory.Although Wu Xie put his body into action immediately, he was thinking about Zhang Qishan's purpose in his heart, and suddenly realized when he touched the remaining eggshell in his pocket.
I am not afraid of coming, but I am afraid of not coming.
33 chapter
Zhang Qishan hoped that Wu Xie would leave a mark on Er Yuehong. If they also came out of the water here, they would be able to immediately get a way to prevent hallucinations.Anyway, to make a gesture, Wu Xie sniffed those sleepy people by the way. It was weak and steady, and the circulation of the whole body was weakened to maintain the lowest vital signs. It may be difficult to wake up.
Touching the edge of the pool, Wu Xie left behind some eggshells and the simplest marks, so he could clearly understand the purpose of the message at a glance.Seeing that Kun'er was still busy after finishing all this, Wu Xie was inconvenient to leave first, and found a lying person in a different outfit, so he moved closer to search him for anything.The clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and there was a square shape protruding from his chest. Wu Xie took out a black leather-covered notepad from inside his clothes. The notepad was fastened with a rubber band and covered with several layers of waterproof paper.Wu Xie glanced at Jie Jiu and found that he was turning around to look over, so she slowly stuffed the notepad into his clothes and hid it calmly.
I don't know what is written in it, and I can't open it for a while
"Well, it's better for me to go. If it's not right, I can feel where the problem is." Wu Xie still believes in himself in terms of perception.
Zhang Qishan also saw that Wu Xie's reaction and sensitivity to the environment were stronger than ordinary people, so he nodded and said, "Tie the rope, don't worry, I will watch you from behind."
After Wu Xie was ready, she held a handful of fragments in her palm and covered her nose, and a choking stench went straight into her lungs.
It seemed to be feasible, Wu Xie walked deep alone, but did not smell other smells, but after walking for about three to forty meters, he heard a slight hissing sound intermittently, like a heavy sack in the air. Dragging on the ground.
The voice came from the depths of the corridor where the flashlight couldn't reach, Wu Xie wasn't very scared, but just wondering if his guess was wrong?The footsteps had already stopped, and the hand holding the eggshell was pressing on the nose, not caring about the unpleasant smell and sniffing desperately.
Sure enough, he didn't hear the strange voice again for a while, Wu Xie felt relieved, turned around and saw the blurred figures of Zhang Qishan and Kun'er, waved the flashlight to indicate that he was safe, and then continued to walk forward.The light of the flashlight shone straight into the darkness, and Wu Xie suddenly saw two bright green lanterns floating in the darkness, reflecting the light of the flashlight with a crystal texture.
Wu Xie stopped in shock, and the two lanterns hung motionless in the air. Could it be the night pearl hanging in the main tomb?But this night pearl seems to hang a little too low.Unable to figure out what it was, Wu Xie slowly approached while looking at it.
Before he took two steps, he saw the two lanterns shaking regularly, and then the hissing sound sounded again, even closer than before, and challenged Wu Xie's nerves into his ears.Is this a hallucination or a real scene?Wu Xie looked around and couldn't tell the difference. No matter how hard he tried to sniff, the smell of the eggshell in his hand was unbearable. Could it be that the eggshell has a limited effect?Want to imitate Zhang Qishan and concentrate on biting his tongue, although it seems that there is pain but it is not so clear.It's an illusion, it's just that the mental strength is not enough, so Zhang Qishan's method doesn't work, it seems that he can only wait to be awakened.
Maybe falling into hallucinations will prolong the sense of time. Wu Xie watched the lanterns swaying towards him. When he saw their real bodies, even Wu Xie felt some trembling in his calves. Those two lanterns were the eyes of a giant phosphorus python.
This phosphorus python was thicker than the stone sculptures seen before. It swam around and its head was in front of Wu Xie in a blink of an eye.At this time, if you turn around and run, you will only be attacked from behind, although judging from the disparity in strength, there is not even a second difference between a frontal attack and a rear attack.
The black scales all over the body are arranged layer by layer, the hard scales at the junction of the abdomen and back scrape the ground and make a hissing sound, the head is covered with lumps of different sizes, and a pair of sinister eyes are staring at Wu Xie, But he was not in a hurry to attack, he just slowly rolled up and stood two or three meters away from Wu Xie, with his head against the top of the tunnel.
Wu Xie slowly turned sideways, glanced at the entrance of the tunnel, and Zhang Qishan who was waiting there was gone.It must be a hallucination, even though it is certain, one person and one snake are staring at each other like this, the oppressive force of looking down still makes Wu Xie want to run away.
Wu Xie backed slowly involuntarily. At first, the phosphorus python didn't respond. When Wu Xie withdrew more than ten meters, he suddenly leaned out and followed closely. This almost immediately rushed to Wu Xie's face, scaring Wu Xie. Xie was shocked all over, and he could already smell the smell of rotting corpses from its mouth with the letter curled up.
It seems that they don't want Wu Xie to escape from its range of attack. This hallucination produces things that are scary but thought in the mind. If the hallucination is produced based on the human heart, can it be controlled by the human heart?
Wu Xie pointed at the phosphorus python and shouted loudly, "Get down!"
Phosphorus python shrank slightly, Wu Xie thought there was something to be done, but before he could be happy, the phosphorous python opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Wu Xie.
29 chapter
Fortunately, Wu Xie reacted quickly, curled up and rolled sideways, and the phosphorus python brushed against his back.Falling on the ground, Wu Xie felt his back was hot and numb with pain. He tried to stand up and run, but he couldn't move. His legs were weak and he couldn't lift his strength. Maybe he injured his spine.Wu Xie reluctantly dragged her body back and leaned against the stone wall. Why didn't she wake up from this level of pain?Is death in hallucinations real death?
At this time, the Phosphorous Python had already rolled up and swam back, facing Wu Xie who had no ability to resist, he opened his mouth and bit it down without hesitation.The snake saliva dripping on his face was cold and sticky, and Wu Xie felt that if he didn't wake up or be bitten to death, he would be disgusted to death.
What is Zhang Qishan dawdling about!Just as Wu Xie was thinking about it, a tingling pain suddenly came from the tip of his left middle finger. This small starting point suppressed all other sensations, and with a swallowing force, the pain instantly hit his whole body.Wu Xie was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, he found that all the pictures in front of him had changed instantly. He was half lying in Zhang Qishan's arms, and the bitten finger was done by the little white mastiff. Seeing Wu Xie wake up, it blinked dimly. Eyes curled his head back and went back to sleep.
"How is it?" Zhang Qishan asked worriedly.
Wu Xie didn't answer, but looked at his palm first, the eggshell fragments still remained between his fingers, and the smell was still strong at the tip of his nose.
Connecting all the clues together, Wu Xie probably has the most confidence in his guess.
It's not that the smell of these eggshells is useless for hallucinations, but that at the moment of hallucinations, you can't control your body, and you can no longer put the eggshells in front of your nose.At that time, Wu Xie felt that the eggshell had no taste, but Wu Xie's body had already fallen into a coma at that time.
And the hallucinogens absorbed into the body will accumulate accordingly, the more inhaled, the harder it is to wake up.As for whether the death in the hallucination will bring about real death, it is not important for the body that can no longer be awakened.
Telling these to Zhang Qishan, Wu Xie sighed, "This kind of trap made of air is really the most perfect protective barrier for the tomb."
"Can you be sure that these eggshells are useful? Just imagine, since such a mechanism has been designed, there is absolutely no need to leave a cracking method outside the mechanism." Zhang Qishan did not quite agree.
"There was a moment in the middle when the hallucinations appeared and disappeared. I think this direction is not wrong. This mutual generation and mutual restraint was not left by the person who designed the tomb." This time the coma was obviously deeper than the last time, Wu Xie stood up and moved a little The paralyzed hands and feet are "caused by the evolutionary changes of the lyre insects during their long-term existence. I think this is beyond the designer's calculations. Living things are uncontrollable, and they will keep changing consciously or unconsciously."
"We must find a way to keep the taste of that thing." Zhang Qishan was thoughtful.
"I already have a solution, try again." Wu Xie picked a larger eggshell from the water again.
Thinking of what Wu Xie said about not being able to wake up, Zhang Qishan couldn't help being frightened, stopped him and said, "I'll go, tell me what to do."
Wu Xie ignored him, glanced at him lightly and said, "Zhang Qishan, you are a hero and I am not a coward. I don't care what happened to you in the past. From today on, you have to understand that only you can protect others if you are alive. If I am unconscious, You and Kun'er can take me out, but if you're unconscious, I can't do it. Don't worry, there's a little white mastiff."
Looking at Kun'er who was about to speak, Wu Xie also stared at him, "Don't be wordy, only I can verify my speculation."
Wu Xie stopped talking nonsense with them, pressed two eggshells behind the back of her tongue, nodded to Zhang Qishan and walked into the corridor again.This time Wu Xie didn't look back, and soon he saw a scene he hadn't seen before. More than half of the corridor collapsed, and there was a huge tunnel at the top.
Wu Xie stepped on the gravel on the ground, making a slight crash, the gravel was piled loose, and there was no trace of anyone stepping on it.The hallucinogenic smell on the other side of the collapse became more intense, but the stench and bitterness in the throat were still there, and no loss of consciousness or hallucinations appeared. Wu Xie waited for a while to confirm that he was not affected by the smell, and turned back to tug on the rope , signaling them to follow.
Zhang Qishan and Kuner quickly rushed to Wu Xie's side, Zhang Qishan squeezed Wu Xie's arm.Because it was inconvenient to talk, the three of them hurriedly put away the rope and stepped on the pile of rubble to move forward.There is not much distance left in the corridor after the robbery, and it takes about ten minutes to reach the next tomb.
It's just unexpected that this is not the main tomb, unless a queen is buried here.
However, this is not the most surprising thing. Directly in front of the tomb is a pool that occupies almost half of the area. In the pool, there are huge blood-red multi-layered flowers. Half of the flowers are underwater, and the petals protrude obliquely out of the water. In the center of the stamen is a coffin that is more than six feet wide. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but it is also blood red, but slightly darker than the color of the flower.
At the very edge of each petal, there is a little hot white light, the flame is not bright, but it is flickering, and the burning smell is exactly that kind of confusing smell.If you look carefully, you will find that the petals are still floating very slightly, just like a flower cluster on the ground with the breeze.The blood-red flowers bloomed in the dark underground tomb room. This extremely gorgeous and strong visual stimulation was amazing. Wu Xie couldn't help but clenched Zhang Qishan's hand tightly.
The little white mastiff poked its head out of Wu Xie's pocket, probably waking up, but didn't respond to the scene in front of it, so there shouldn't be anything too dangerous.Wu Xie followed Zhang Qishan to the pool. The water surface was not too turbid, it was underground running water, and the part of the flowers under the water could be clearly seen.The petals were only a few inches away from the edge of the pond, and Wu Xie felt strange seeing the petals covered with tiny holes.Zhang Qishan dipped his hand into the pool water, mixed with the heat of the hot spring, the water temperature was just right for these things to grow.
"It's coral." Zhang Qishan said vaguely with the back of his tongue.
The reason why this coral flower can burn for so long is that apart from the very slow consumption of the edge, the underwater part is still growing.Everything in this mausoleum is designed with the goal of permanence.
An ancient tomb related to infinite time, what Wu Xie cares about at this moment is what the Japanese conspiracy is.
Wu Xie searched his guts for this kind of coral, but he couldn't figure out what kind it was. Although he didn't know who was buried, the date had to be pushed forward at least a little bit.A long-diameter flower is carved on the coffin, which looks similar to the coral flower below.
There has only been one female emperor in history, and the one who will be symbolized by flowers is more like a funeral concubine.But why is there such a ridiculous thing as the tombs of the general and the concubine being connected? It is impossible to bury Xia Yingchun and Wu Qi who conspired to rebel here.
thirty chapters
Zhang Qishan looked at the coffin in the flower stamens, and Wu Xie probably guessed what he was thinking, and said, "It doesn't look like this is the main tomb, but it is indeed at the location we predicted. It is said that the robbery hole dug by Master Jiu and the others is Here, I don’t know why they are behind us, but they all come—”
Come here, these four words are really a curse, Zhang Qishan nodded, hesitant because he was afraid of missing what he was really looking for, but since there is no clearer clue now, let’s open the coffin, something is wrong Good things can also be used as military pay.
"That being said, the whistle coffins shipped out earlier are already so dangerous." Wu Xie said, "We don't have the conditions to seal the coffin with molten iron now, so we must be more careful when opening this one."
"Buddha, I'll go." Kun'er unloaded her backpack, took out the iron hook rope and carried it on her shoulders.
Stepping over the edge of the petals, Kun'er stepped on the petals a few times to test the tolerance of the petals. After confirming that there was no problem, she jumped up and quickly climbed to the edge of the coffin. After walking around the coffin, she turned around in wonder and shouted: "Lord Buddha!" , no gaps, no coffin nails."
"What made the coffin?" Zhang Qishan asked.
Kun'er had already touched it with his hands, and the inner and outer coffins were as warm as his hands. Although the material looked like wood grain, it was much finer than wood, and he couldn't tell the difference based on his knowledge.
"Smash it open." Zhang Qishan said after listening.
Wu Xie was a little distressed, "It must be a good thing, and the complete coffin is also quite valuable when shipped out."
Zhang Qishan felt that he had discovered Wu Xie's money-lovers by accident, and said with a smile, "It's not auspicious if everyone wants a blood-red coffin."
"I also can't understand this, why the owner of the tomb uses this kind of coffin."
"Although I don't know what the meaning of this mausoleum is, what is certain is that the standard of their design is definitely not the general Feng Shui of seeking good luck."
"That's true. Such a blood-red coffin is buried in the death spot, so it can be regarded as extremely fierce?"
"Ah."
He raised the iron hook and slammed it hard at the coffin, causing debris to splash everywhere. It was good news that he could cut it open. The coffin was thinner than expected, and a hole was opened in the middle after two strokes, allowing a hand to enter. , Kun'er reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Zhang Qishan's sharp eyes, "Open it a little more!"
"Yes." After the gap was made, most of the coffin was lifted in two or three strokes, revealing the contents inside.
"Buddha—it's full of—blood."
If there is water in the coffin, it is okay to say that it is because of the decay of the corpse, but it is not normal to have water in the coffin, let alone bloody water.It is really unlucky to see such a thing after opening the coffin, Zhang Qishan asked: "Can you see anything underwater?"
Kun'er glanced at it with the flashlight and said: "I can't see it." Probably because he couldn't wait for Zhang Qishan's instructions, and secondly, he didn't see any reaction underwater after such a short time. It stands to reason that there should be a coffin inside the coffin. So Kun'er said, "I'll feel what's inside."
Kun'er felt something was wrong when she put her hand in. The blood was deeper than her arm. The expected coffin did not exist, but the scariest thing was not having it.As soon as he brought his hand back, something wrapped around his forearm and dragged him desperately into the coffin.
Kun'er didn't want to make a sound yet, she supported the edge of the coffin with one hand and pulled it out, feeling that the force inside was not completely irresistible, but a few slender things made her wrist numb.Zhang Qishan saw the clue at a glance, jumped up two steps and rushed to the edge of the coffin, raised the iron hook and knocked on the lower edge of the coffin, several times smashed through and blood flowed out.Wu Xie also rushed to help Kun'er pull out the arm, only to see that the sleeves below the forearm were all torn, and the skin was red and covered with tiny rashes.
"What is it?" Wu Xie asked.
"I don't know. Is it poisonous?" Kun'er retreated to the side to deal with it by herself.
"No, it's a general contact reaction to corpse bacteria." Wu Xie said and followed Zhang Qishan to watch, but Zhang Qishan pushed back two steps.The blood soon bottomed out, and the red vines on the four sides of the coffin were intertwined, supporting a corpse that was basically completely decomposed in the middle. Because it was soaked in water, the surface of the corpse was not well preserved. From the things buried with it, it was guessed that it was a female corpse. .The clothes on the female corpse were only threads, and the rest were all melted into the water. It didn't look like she could cheat the corpse. Wu Xie got closer and closer, and felt that something was wrong with these vines, and suddenly found clues pointing to the coffin. Nei said: "These vines are integrated with the coffin."
"Well, I don't know what caught Kun'er." Zhang Qishan picked up the female corpse with a long knife, and a little red light slipped from her hair as he touched it.
Wu Xie saw what seemed to be a stone with sharp eyes, falling on the side of the female corpse's face.
Maybe it was just the palm of the female corpse hanging on Kun'er's hand with the stirring of the liquid just now, adding psychological hints will produce the feeling of being attacked and pulled, which almost always happens to people who fight for the first time.So when Wu Xie saw clearly that it was a necklace that fell down, she leaned over to pick it up without hesitation. It was a pure gold necklace with jade beads on it. The gold chain was soaked in water until it turned dark copper, with a triangular red coral hanging in the middle. , there was a mark engraved on the red coral, and Wu Xie was about to take it out for a closer look, when the female corpse suddenly turned over and bit Wu Xie's wrist.
It's really a fucking dog, Zhang Qishan watched you for a long time and you didn't cheat, why did you pick up your necklace or take advantage of you? !Or do zongzi also like to pick soft persimmons?Wu Xie cursed in his heart, trying to pull back his hand, not forgetting to hold on to the necklace.Zhang Qishan chopped off the head of the female corpse with a knife, and Wu Xie fell beside the coffin with a rotten head hanging on his hand as soon as he lost his strength.With a movement of the wrist, the female corpse's head fell off and rolled aside. Wu Xie quickly looked at her wrist, not even leaving a mark, but the female corpse suddenly turned over and her gums got stuck on her wrist.
But why did the female corpse suddenly turn over by itself! ?Wu Xie quickly stuffed the necklace into her pocket, and turned her head to look at the coffin. The headless female corpse slowly rose from the coffin to a height of more than two meters. Behind her were those blood-red vines.
The headless carrion swayed from side to side with the twisting of the vines, and the fluttering skirts on its body danced in mid-air, matching with the floating petals around it, forming a look of Avici Hell.As the female corpse swayed, Wu Xie saw that her back was pierced by vines. This corpse might have been hollowed out and occupied by vines before she died.Is it for nutrition?Wu Xie didn't think it was like it, it was more like trying to give the vine a concrete appearance, so that the vine had a humanoid appearance.
What is going to be buried here is not a female corpse at all, the real owner of this tomb is this coffin!The female corpse is just a funeral object and a victim!
31 chapter
Wu Xie sat on the ground staring at this weird scene, and the tugging from the trousers brought him back to his senses.The little white mastiff bit Wu Xie's trousers and dragged it in the opposite direction, sucking the wings of his nose and showing a silent scowl.
Wu Xie got up quietly, and called Zhang Qishan and Kun'er to retreat together. The three of them couldn't help but hold their breath for something that could scare even the little white mastiff. Fortunately, although the vine stood there, it didn't take a step closer.
Just as he retreated to the edge of the pool, many black figures suddenly appeared from under the water, splashing water all over his body.Without hesitation, Zhang Qishan turned around and hugged Wu Xie and rolled over, stood up and drew his gun in front of him to see what came out.
It was very chaotic in front of me, and suddenly there was more light from the flashlight swaying around, illuminating the tomb a lot brighter. There were many people standing by the pool, watching the headless female corpse dancing in the flower stamens, they all let out crazy screams, raised their hands The machine gun fired continuously, and the vines that made the sound of the gunfire more exciting crawled out of the coffin.Somebody's gun exploded with a bang, which frightened the frightened birds to flee in all directions.
It was the Japanese army, Zhang Qishan pressed Wu Xie to hide in the corner.
The shooting lasted only half a minute, and because of the hallucinogenic gas from the coral flower, these people fell to the ground one after another. In the chaos, only someone shouted: "Don't shoot! Hold your breath!!" However, not many people listened to him, only Five or six people fled the pool after him, and the rest lay in disarray on the ground.
The vines lost their target, and dropped the female corpse to roll up a man on the ground. The tip of each vine looked like a multi-clawed barb, and pulled it out from the man's back, then led him back into the coffin.
After everything happened in an instant, it returned to calm. Zhang Qishan stood up and looked at Jie Jiu who was staring at him.
"Buddha." When Zhang Qishan approached, Xie Jiu greeted him with a half-smile.
Zhang Qishan glanced over, and behind him were Huo Xiangu and one of her men, the other three were Japanese, and one of them was a Japanese officer.When explaining her identity in front of these people, Xie Jiu didn't care about Zhang Qishan's face at all.
"Jiuye." Zhang Qishan nodded slightly, and hummed softly.
"It seems like I'll last longer than anyone else." Although Xie Jiu looked embarrassed, his face was as pale as paper, and the cotton muff in his hand had been lost somewhere, but he still had his bearing and showed no timidity.
Zhang Qishan didn't say a word, he put his hands in his arms and looked at Jiu Hanxiao with a peaceful reconciliation.
But the Japanese officer couldn't bear it. He didn't know what he encountered along the way. His spirit was already on the verge of collapse. He grabbed Jie Jiu's arm desperately and said, "What is this thing! Can those people still be saved!?"
Although Xie Jiu didn't show it, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes inadvertently, and he said lightly: "There is some salvation, but let's save your breath."
"Have you been holding back your breath?! Jie Jiu! How many people have died following you along the way!—"
Xie Jiuyi waved his hands and scolded: "What's the matter if a few people die in the next big tomb! Shut up!"
Enraged, the Japanese officer pointed his gun at Xie Jiu's head. Following his actions, someone pointed a gun at Zhang Qishan. The officer said coldly, "Take us away now! Buddha is fine, take us right away." go out."
Zhang Qishan laughed, but he didn't care about the gun, he just sneered and said to Xie Jiu: "Your team is not very easy to lead."
"To each other." Xie Jiu glanced at Wu Xie and Kun'er, "I'm still stupefied with two of you, Master Buddha, do you have no one under your command?"
"This place is a bit weird, but it doesn't need to mobilize people. Jiuye, you have nothing else, but you are still a little timid."
"Shut up!!" The Japanese officer saw another soldier fall behind him, and roared angrily, waving the gun in his hand, "I'll count to three, and if no one leads the way, I'll kill you all!"
Before he started counting, Huo Xiangu, who had a wound on her arm, fell down first.Wu Xie is soft-hearted, at least he is from Nine Gates, and I heard that he has a good relationship with his grandfather. Although he is working for the Japanese now, it may just be a temporary errand, so he won't turn his back on him.Xie Jiuhe's subordinates glanced at Huo Xiangu, but they didn't intend to help her, so Wu Xie rushed forward.
Seeing Wu Xie's actions, the Japanese officer's first reaction was that he wanted to sneak attack, so he turned his gun and shot directly without saying a word.
Zhang Qishan pushed Wu Xie down with one hand, turned over from his back, raised his foot and kicked the gun away, then kicked the officer's neck with his back kick, and at the same time, another Japanese was restrained by Kun'er.Zhang Qishan picked up the gun and walked towards him, pointed to his head and turned to Xie Jiu: "Master Jiu, tell me about your people."
"Jiuye, Jiuye—" the Japanese lay on the ground crying for help.
"I already recognize you, Lord Buddha, kill me." Xie Jiu said without hesitation before he begged for mercy.
Zhang Qishan didn't intend to spare him at all, but after exploring Xie Jiu's tone, he shot the Japanese man without saying a word, looked at Xie Jiu and said, "Didn't you just say so?"
"Huh—" Xie Jiu said with a smile, "I understand me as a Buddha."
"I don't want to understand your foolishness."
Xie Jiu wanted to imply that Zhang Qishan would kill these people if he had the chance. Zhang Qishan just didn't like Xie Jiu's temperament. However, the harm to people is real.
Wu Xie helped Xiangu Huo up, stuffed an eggshell into her mouth, and was patting him awake.Zhang Qishan walked to him and knelt down, "Why are you so impulsive, what if you get hurt?"
"I heard that she has a good relationship with grandpa. She is from the Nine Gates after all. It's not good to see death." Wu Xie saw Huo Xiangu blinking her eyelids and regained consciousness. She felt relieved and turned her head to smile at Zhang Qishan, revealing the corners of her mouth. Shallow dimples, afraid that other people would hear, leaned close to his ear and said: "Besides, you must be able to handle it, you will protect me."
With others around, it was difficult for Zhang Qishan to make excessive movements, so he just gently shook Wu Xie's hand through the shadow.Being relied on is a kind of responsibility, but the previous responsibilities were too heavy, only this time there is a little light pleasure in the heavy, but the lighter it is, the more unbearable it is. I don’t know why this kind of emotion arises, maybe Also out of control.This time, Zhang Qishan might really fall into the hands of this kind little fox.
"Don't do this next time." Although no accident happened, Zhang Qishan still reminded Wu Xie.
"En." Wu Xie heard it but didn't care.
Wu Xie also handed the eggshell to Xie Jiu, but after Xie Jiu took it, he asked, "Who is your grandfather?"
"Ok?"
"I just heard you say that Huo Xiangu has a good relationship with your grandfather. Who is your grandfather?"
"My grandpa—" Wu Xie regretted what he had said just now, and looked at Zhang Qishan for help.
32 chapter
Zhang Qishan nodded, "Speak."
Wu Xie noticed that Zhang Qishan looked away for a moment, and immediately thought that the only ones who really knew about his identity were his grandfather and Zhang Qishan, not even Er Yuehong, let alone Xie Jiu who needed to be on guard in Zhang Qishan's mouth.Immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Qishan's look, and pretended to be helpless, he said: "Old Dog Wu is my cousin. He sent a letter to my family a few years ago saying that he wanted to marry a girl. Grandpa said that girl's family is old with ours. Acquaintance, it’s a good thing, let me give a gift instead of my family.” Wu Xie actually didn’t know if Grandpa and Huo Xiangu had this kind of relationship, but after listening to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong’s chatting tone before, he guessed that there might be such a relationship Secretly, in this case, I can only sell my father for glory.
"Oh——" Xie Jiu didn't really believe it, although this young man was somewhat similar to Wu Laogou, so he asked again, "Then how did you come here?"
"Lama." Without hesitation, Wu Xie pointed at Zhang Qishan, "I saw the Buddha that day, and we had a few conversations. The Buddha said that although I am weak in skills, I have good knowledge, and I spent a lot of money to invite me."
This is also reasonable, it is naturally inconvenient for the Buddha to take more of his own people when he is dispatched secretly, besides, Wu Xie answered the questions fluently, there is no flaw, and his age and appearance are similar.
At this time, Xiangu Huo woke up completely, and Zhang Qishan said: "Jiuye, if it's convenient, you can take him back the same way, let's settle for working for the Japanese, and we will have a good reputation on the road from now on."
"Heh, Zhang Qishan, do you know what this place is? So I wanted to eat it all by myself." Xie Jiu sneered, thinking about the muff with both hands, and found that the cotton muff had been lost early in the morning, he retracted his arms and threw it down.
Zhang Qishan didn't care about being misunderstood, but Wu Xie took a step forward and happened to stop Zhang Qishan, "Jiuye? I said you should be the one who didn't know. Could it be that you think the information given by the Japanese is complete and true?" Is that true? If that’s the case, you wouldn’t be in such a mess and just caught up with us. The affairs of the Chinese are indeed complicated and weird in all aspects, but if you really want to speculate, it’s still us Chinese I can guess more accurately, don’t you think so? Who knows more and who knows less, isn’t it clear at a glance? Don’t say that the Buddha is not thinking like this, even if he is, what can you do? So since you are on the side of the Japanese, Master Jiu, don't say anything."
These words were exactly what Zhang Qishan wanted to say, but he couldn't speak them himself. He was worried that the adjutant who was talking to him was not around this time, but he didn't expect Wu Xie to say every word of his own thoughts, so he couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
Jie Jiu, who always kept a straight body, suddenly burst into laughter, "Lord Buddha, your price is not in vain. It's not bad, but it's impossible to ask me to return empty-handed when I get here. Why don't you all cooperate and go your own way?" , I rounded up the Japanese side, and said that there is nothing here to fool around casually, everyone is good, what do you think? Of course, brother, you don’t have any money, and I’ll add it to you One portion."
Xie Jiu's words are both painful and painful, and at the end he will buy people's hearts by the way, Wu Xie secretly smiled, and did not expose it right now, just nodded and said: "Thank you Jiu Ye first, but it depends on the Buddha, I am an honest person, eat For this bowl of rice, the rules have to be the rules.”
"That's natural." Xie Jiu tilted his chin slightly and looked at Zhang Qishan.
It would be a thorn in my heart for Xie Jiu to let go, it would be better to stay by my side and feel at ease. Since Xie Jiu fell here, Er Yuehong must be coming soon, and it will not be difficult to restrain Xie Jiu and Huo Xiangu by then.Zhang Qishan had made up his mind without hesitation, and asked directly: "The information you got, where is the main tomb?"
"According to the records of the Aojia in the hands of the Japanese, the main tomb can be reached along the underground river, so the robbery hole we dug was not to find the dragon's cave but to find the underground river. It really took a lot of time. I don’t know what there is, and I didn’t have time to run out when I saw an exit. Speaking of which, I seem to have seen the second master, following us, and now I don’t know where it was washed away by the current.”
"What exactly are the Japanese looking for?" Wu Xie asked.Even though he planned not to go back, he was still curious about what made him travel here.
Xie Jiu resumed his inscrutable look, "Brother, you just said, how could I get so much information, the Japanese officer who contacted me is called Kanda Shochu—"
"Major General of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army!" Zhang Qishan gritted his teeth. (Nanjing Defense War God Tian Zhengzhong fought head-on with the troops led by Zhang Qishan, and Zhang Qishan was later ordered to withdraw. In 1941, Kanda served as the lieutenant general of the Sixth Division, participated in the second and third Changsha battles, and met Zhang Qishan on the battlefield again. )
"Yes, Lord Buddha knows?"
"It's not just acquaintance, you continue to talk."
"Where did he get the news? I really don't know. It's not the first time that the armored turtle you found appeared in the world. The last time the Japanese army brought out not only the coffin, but also a lot of armored turtles. It records the content of this tomb—the vortex, and there is not much information that can be translated. They have already put Mr. Dong Zuobin under house arrest, but the progress is still slow.”
"The whirlpool?" Zhang Qishan frowned, and the whole thing became more and more weird, "Then what did the Japanese ask you to look for in the tomb?"
"I don't know, I just said that that thing doesn't need any hints, I just need to see it at a glance. And there is absolutely no way to take that thing away, my task is to find the way to it."
"Can't you take it away?——" Wu Xie bit her finger and whispered to herself. If you can't take it away, does it mean that it is connected to the mountain?No, this mountain is man-made. If you really want to move it, there is absolutely no reason why you can't move it.What would make people dare to assert that they would never take it away?Wu Xie thought a lot and still had no idea, secretly shaking his head at Zhang Qishan's probing gaze.
"Jiuye, since you can't take it away, what is the purpose of your trip?" Wu Xie inquired.
Xie Jiu smiled slightly, "There is such a magnificent mausoleum right under your nose, how can you not be worthy of the name of Jiumen if you don't come to see it, and some people provide information on their own initiative, so why not take advantage of it."
Just for insight?How could it be so simple, Wu Xie pouted.
"Anyway, we've been here for too long. Let's think about the next step. Don't think about the underground river. I know it's not that simple." Xie Jiu thinks about the things in the river Still a little scared.
Zhang Qishan beckoned to Kun'er: "Go and see if those Japanese are dead or not." This meant that those who were not dead would be given a ride, then turned to Wu Xie and said, "Go and help Kun'er, In case there is someone who goes back to report the letter, I am not afraid of coming, anyway, I can’t last a few minutes.”
Wu Xie was taken aback, how could Zhang Qishan let himself do this kind of thing, and these few words are not only unnecessary, but also somewhat contradictory.Although Wu Xie put his body into action immediately, he was thinking about Zhang Qishan's purpose in his heart, and suddenly realized when he touched the remaining eggshell in his pocket.
I am not afraid of coming, but I am afraid of not coming.

Zhang Qishan hoped that Wu Xie would leave a mark on Er Yuehong. If they also came out of the water here, they would be able to immediately get a way to prevent hallucinations.Anyway, to make a gesture, Wu Xie sniffed those sleepy people by the way. It was weak and steady, and the circulation of the whole body was weakened to maintain the lowest vital signs. It may be difficult to wake up.
Touching the edge of the pool, Wu Xie left behind some eggshells and the simplest marks, so he could clearly understand the purpose of the message at a glance.Seeing that Kun'er was still busy after finishing all this, Wu Xie was inconvenient to leave first, and found a lying person in a different outfit, so he moved closer to search him for anything.The clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and there was a square shape protruding from his chest. Wu Xie took out a black leather-covered notepad from inside his clothes. The notepad was fastened with a rubber band and covered with several layers of waterproof paper.Wu Xie glanced at Jie Jiu and found that he was turning around to look over, so she slowly stuffed the notepad into his clothes and hid it calmly.
I don't know what is written in it, and I can't open it for a while
