Chapter 168 Tricks
Looking at the dozens of strange lotus flowers that suddenly grew out of the tomb passage in front of me, my heart sank. Without thinking about it, I shouted to Zhang Sanpao behind me: "Sanpao, come and take a look. What's in this tomb passage?"
Plants actually grew!”
Zhang Sanpao is an authentic gold-touching captain and knows a lot about all kinds of rare treasures. Maybe he can tell the origin of these little flowers.
"What's so strange about plants growing in the tomb passage? Doesn't this mean that someone has been here? Maybe it's the fourth girl!"
"And once a tomb passage of this age is ventilated, there is no guarantee that any seeds will be blown in."
Zhang Sanpao's feet were very slow. He said with a smile, as if he thought I was making a bit of a fuss.
"Boy, of course there is nothing strange about plants growing in tomb passages, but have you ever seen white lotuses blooming in a place that is frozen all year round?" Ma Rulong suddenly snorted coldly.
At this moment, Ma Rulong frowned, squatting in front of the lotus flowers, holding the torch close to them, and squinting his old eyes to observe carefully. He was obviously very afraid of these lotus flowers.
"Lotus?" Hearing that it was a lotus, Zhang Sanpao's appetite was whetted and he quickly slid along the rope.
"Yes, look here, here, here, and there are many more over there." I pointed to the lotus at my feet and said to Zhang Sanpao.
But when I looked back, I unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Sanpao's reaction was a little different from ours.
Logically speaking, Zhang Sanpao should be shocked when he saw such a magical thing. But his expression was only slightly surprised, and there was nothing else superfluous about it.
The more calm he was, the more I felt something was wrong.
While I was in a daze, Kathleen, who was carrying a heavy machine gun, was like a child seeing a favorite toy, her eyes were shining as she counted all the ice lotuses in front of her.
"One, two...ten, wow! There are so many beautiful lotus flowers here, just like in fairy tales. They are all mine, and none of you are allowed to snatch them from me."
Seeing Katherine's extremely excited expression, I secretly cursed a pervert. The ice in the tomb passage was dangerous enough, but now there were so many dense lotus flowers growing on the ice, even the devil knew there was a problem.
But instead of being vigilant, Kathleen treats these lotus flowers as toys. Isn't this a pervert? No wonder she likes to dress up like a non-mainstream person.
"Uncle Dingdang, are you saying bad things about me in your heart?"
Although I just scolded Kathleen in my heart, Kathleen was like a roundworm in my stomach, seeing my contempt for her. She picked up the Gatling heavy machine gun and pointed it at my head without mercy.
After taking a look, I was so scared that I almost peed, so I quickly told her to stop joking.
Fortunately, Kathleen didn't hold grudges like the man in the suit. She just snorted at me dissatisfied, threw away the heavy machine gun, and continued counting her lotus flowers.
"Mr. Ma, what should we do now?" The man in the suit asked Ma Rulong.
"Do you still need to ask? I, Zhang Sanpao, have robbed many tombs, but I have never seen such flowers blooming in tombs. Things whose origins are unknown are often the most dangerous. I think we should return the same way we came!
"Zhang Sanpao suggested.
"I didn't ask you, shut up." The man in the suit glared at him fiercely.
"No rush." Ma Rulong waved his hand, and did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he glanced back and forth in the tomb passage, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on an ice pick not far away, and his expression instantly solidified: "Not good!"
As Ma Rulong said something bad, the man in a suit next to him pulled out the Desert Eagle almost at the same time and aimed at the ice pick and was about to fire.
The sudden reactions of Ma Rulong and the man in the suit also startled me. Without thinking, I held my head and prepared to lie down to avoid danger.
The tomb passage is very narrow, and the man in the suit does what he does without any sense of propriety. If he does fire and the bullet bounces back and hits me, who am I going to complain to?
But before my body could lie down, Zhang Sanpao was hugging me tightly from behind. No matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't let go.
I was so anxious that I wanted to scold Zhang Sanpao when I turned around.
"Little boss, are you crazy? Do you still remember the saying that you never touch the ice?" Zhang Sanpao was afraid of alerting Ma Rulong and the others, so he lowered his voice and shouted to me.
Zhang Sanpao's words seemed to be filled with infinite magic power, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to lie down on the ice.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay! You two good boys, there is indeed something you are hiding from me."
Before my heart could calm down, Ma Rulong suddenly laughed and clapped.
I looked up again and found that Ma Rulong no longer looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. Instead, he looked at me playfully with his eyes. The man in a suit following him also put away his gun, with a mocking look on his lips.
With a big smile, he looked at me and Zhang Sanpao as if he were looking at two clowns.
At this time, I realized that I had been fooled by them.
There was no danger at all just now, Ma Rulong deliberately deceived us!
Damn it! It seems that this old fox is always suspicious of me and Zhang Sanpao.
My reaction just now not only almost killed me, but also implicated Zhang Sanpao. Only then did I understand why Zhang Sanpao had been walking behind and refused to go with Ma Rulong.
I glanced at Zhang Sanpao awkwardly.
Zhang Sanpao shrugged helplessly: "Mr. Ma is indeed a veteran in the world of tomb robbers. He figured out our little secret in just one try. Sanpao admires him!"
"Humph, of course." Ma Rulong said proudly: "I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. You two little guys want to hide it in front of me. You are afraid of telling anyone."
It will make people laugh out loud.”
"Tell me, what are you hiding? If you dare to lie again, I will let the lunatic chop off all your fingers and toes." Ma Rulong's eyes showed a trace of cruelty.
The man in the suit also pulled out the paper knife in cooperation at this moment, and walked towards me and Zhang Sanpao with a grin.
I know the character of the man in the suit. What this guy likes most is torturing people. Not to mention chopping off his fingers, I believe in chopping off his head. If Zhang Sanpao and I hadn't spoken out, I'm afraid we would have been tortured to death in the tomb today.
Inside.
At first, Zhang Sanpao and I fell into Ma Rulong's hands, hoping to find an opportunity to escape. Especially after seeing this frozen tomb passage, we remembered the saying: We can't survive in water, but we can't survive in ice.
, and I even feel that I can play tricks on a horse like a dragon.
But I didn't expect that after all, in front of Ma Rulong, we were still a little immature.
By now, this secret has been seen through, and we can’t keep it secret. After Zhang Sanpao and I looked at each other with a wry smile, we had to explain how we heard Tudi Po speak in the woods of Dawang Village. Tudi Po said
What were the words, and how did the previous sentence come true? They were all said at once.
"Is this what you two are hiding?" Ma Rulong still looked at me and Zhang Sanpao with the same vicious look, but this time there was obviously more trust in his eyes.
"That's right, the curse of being impervious to water has been fulfilled on the water monkey. I think the following sentence about being impervious to ice is referring to this tomb passage full of ice!" I answered honestly.
"I thought you were hiding some big secret, but it turns out it's just that. Mr. Ma, can you go now?" The man in the suit turned the paper knife around in his hand and inserted it back into his waist.
between.
In his opinion, this so-called curse posed no threat to them at all.
Just when the man in the suit was holding the torch and preparing to move forward, Ma Rulong patted him on the shoulder: "Madman, wait, I will be in front this time!"
The man in the suit was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ma Rulong to open the way himself.
However, he did not dare to disobey Ma Rulong's order. He just said "Mr. Ma, be careful" and handed the torch to Ma Rulong.
Then, the man in the suit walked behind me and Zhang Sanpao with a smile, staring at us from time to time.
It seemed that although he despised me and Zhang Sanpao, he did not completely let down his guard against us.
Zhang Sanpao and I had no choice but to resign ourselves to our fate and continue walking down with the team.
