The mummy was still struggling in the fire. I looked at that face and felt chills all over. I thought that my mental endurance was already very strong after passing the headless man in the rainforest mountain tomb, but this one was still alive just now.
I still can't accept the fact that a face appears in another body. It even shocked me more than Li Zhongzhi, who was still alive without his head. Li Zhongzhi still borrowed Zhuge Liang's life-extending method of the star to survive.
There is reason to live, but what about this mummy? You have no way of understanding such a thing, so you feel fear from the bottom of your heart.
Fire belongs to the supreme yang. The ancients believed that fire can burn away all the filth in the world. Therefore, in ancient times, if people found a zombie or something, they would burn it and burn it to ashes. Of course, the mummy in front of them would also escape.
But the same fate happened. After the struggle and roar slowly stopped, only a little of the already thin body was left, curled up on the ground. There was no accelerant, so the burning was not complete.
It was quiet all around, no one spoke. I held the machete in my hand and wanted to see the huddled mummy remains, but my feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds. I looked at Zhu Kaihua, but he was experienced in fighting upside down.
He also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know why. At this time, I saw blood streaks on his arm, which must have been cut by hair, so I asked him: Is it okay?
He shook his head again and said, "It's nothing serious."
After that, I fell into silence again. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t know how to speak. In the end, Zhang Kaixuan held his head and said: It’s strange.
I asked him, what's so strange?
He frowned and said, "The Taoist priest was hesitating about the coffin just now. At first he meant that this was dug out by his Patriarch Wang and placed here, and we should not care about it, right? Then he just didn't want us to care about it."
This coffin?
We all nodded. At first, the Taoist priest’s intention of blocking was obvious, but I felt strange at that time. At this time, Zhang Kaixuan continued: “If you don’t want people to see something, it’s better to hide it.
Why don't we stop him from seeing the coffin? Since the Taoist priest doesn't want us to take care of this coffin, he has been staying in Leiyin Temple for twenty years and knew in advance that we were coming. Why didn't he put it in the coffin?
Where is this coffin hidden? Also, have you noticed that when we entered the door, the lid of this coffin was ajar?"
That’s right! Why didn’t the Taoist priest hide the coffin so that we wouldn’t see it?
I was still thinking, Zhu Kaihua interjected: Maybe that old bastard just wants us to see the coffin here. You said there is a rice dumpling in the coffin. The coffin must be sealed, otherwise there would be no such thing, corpse.
It has long since oxidized and rotted again. He must have opened this coffin board not long ago.
I asked: Do you mean that this Taoist priest knew we were coming, so he opened the coffin board first and then led us here? Then tell us, what is his purpose? My mother said,
If a person wants to do something, he must have his purpose. What about this Taoist priest?
Zhu Kaihua muttered: I don't know what his purpose is, but he is definitely not a good bird. I didn't like him when I first saw him. I said Xiao Sanliang, don't be fooled by his two words of pretending to be a ghost.
I've seen a lot of stuff like Taoist priests who subjugate demons. When I was young, I watched too many zombie movies by Lin Zhengying. I thought that the peach wood sword was the nemesis of zombies. I had to carry a peach wood sword with me every day when fighting. Later,
Damn it, if I bump into a black-haired guy, I'll stab him out with my sword. Guess what?
I was really amused by him. I asked him why he was so wrong with the Taoist priests. It turned out that there was an unknown story, so I looked at him eagerly, expecting his sword to rule the world.
"**His ancestor's, I stabbed the meat dumpling's mouth with my sword, and the peach wood sword was eaten by the thing! If I hadn't been clever, I would have fallen into it that time."
Bai Jin and I both burst out laughing. This Lao Zhu was so funny. While I was laughing, Zhang Kaixuan shouted loudly from the side and said: "We are talking about business, are you still in the mood to laugh? I also thought about it.
There must be something wrong with this Taoist priest. Even according to what Lao Zhu said, Taoism and Buddhism are all nonsense, but would he be able to burn this coffin with a fire? If he had the intention to lead us here to meet this coffin, what do you think?
What do you think will happen to us? Forget it, I don’t want you to guess, that is, either we will be bitten to death by this mummy, or we will kill him."
Speaking of this, he frowned and said to himself: "But it's still wrong. This mummy is not that powerful. It's a sudden thing to do something with your hair. But the Taoist priests should also know that we are not novices. It's hard to control this Zongzi."
Difficult, I will definitely not be killed, but if you want to use our hands to kill this Zongzi, you shouldn't do it, he can do it in a flash."
At this time, Bai Jin intervened and said: Just now, Xiao Sanliang said that he must do something for his own purpose. Now that Taoist priest has gone into the tunnel, is his purpose just to take advantage of us to go into the tunnel in disorder?
Hearing what he said, I immediately shook my head. This was too far. He had plenty of opportunities to do it on his own, and we were all led by others. What's more, I also thought that he was a god-level figure, and he said he wanted to follow.
, it’s too late for me to beg, why are you still trying to stop me?
But does this Taoist priest have a purpose for doing this, or is it just nonsense?
After I was shocked, for a moment I thought I had figured it out, because this was my biggest confusion since I saw this Taoist priest!
Face!
When I met this Taoist priest, I found that he was very similar to Wang Yuanlu, a Taoist priest whom I had met at the foot of Yulin Mountain. I was confused at the time, but it was confusion. They were just two people who looked alike.
That's it, these two are not the same person, so I didn't think much about it. Even when he told me how much his Patriarch Wang was dedicated to the country and the people, I didn't think much about it. Taoism is about reincarnation and cause and effect. Maybe I was
The Wang Yuanlu I met only had the same name as the senior "Wang Yuanlu" from Longhu Mountain.
But now, I saw a third face! Two faces can be a coincidence! If there are three identical faces, then I would be completely stupid to explain it by coincidence!
The purpose of this Taoist priest in seducing us to see this mummy was most likely to show me these three overlapping faces!
But what do these three faces mean? What does he want to express?
In the midst of my thoughts, I thought about my second brother still wearing a mask, but the face underneath the mask was almost exactly the same as my father's.
Intuition tells me that there must be an inevitable connection between these, but at this time, I can't figure it out. It's not that I'm not good at it, but that the amount of information is too limited.
We couldn't come up with a reason, so Zhu Kaihua said, why are you thinking so much? Since the Taoist priest has entered the cave, we can just catch up. See how I can kill this old bastard if I catch him. I was still thinking about it at first.
We knew what we would encounter inside, and a lot of our equipment was blown away by the wind and sand. We wanted to go back and add some more. Zhang Kaixuan said it was okay. He and Zhu Kaihua’s things hadn’t been lost yet. When I thought about it, the Taoist priest didn’t mean my eldest brother.
The second brother was on the road ahead? Moreover, the Taoist priest went in with bare hands and went down into the cave.
The entire cave is cut across. I scanned it with a flashlight. It was so dark that I couldn't see the end. It was surrounded by stones. I also wondered whether there would be murals on the stone walls similar to those of the Rainforest Mountain Tombs. No.
I kept scanning with my flashlight, but it was obvious that there was nothing there. There was no real hair on the wall.
This passage is quite long, as if it will never end. What a fucking big project this is. Who has such a big deal to build such a thing underground? We could only walk, and we gradually became anxious.
Later, we started chatting, and walking away became less boring while chatting.
At this time, Bai Jin raised a question, "Tell me, where did the soldiers and horses chasing us go?"
I blurted out: "There's a good chance that it's in here, but it's not just right. Whoever wants to meet someone will meet him. Anyway, I don't like to see those things. If I see them, I will die." My words were not pure either.
It's pointless. Aren't the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum underground? These shady soldiers are obviously the same as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. They must have come out to patrol for a while and then went back underground. When I think about it, I feel something is wrong. Go back underground? How did they come back?
of?
There is a mechanism on such an alleyway. The Taoist priest turned the incense burner to reveal the cave. There were many soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses were strong. But no matter how you calculate it, they are not dead objects. They must not know how to turn on the mechanism, but they don't.
How do you get back to the underground after passing here? Are there other entrances here?
After thinking for a long time, none of us could figure it out, so Bai Jin asked me again what the Taoist priest said to me after he invited them all out. It was very mysterious.
I am no longer the ignorant young man who is not involved in worldly affairs, just making up secret stories to expose the problem. I can't tell the truth. My second brother left a message to the Taoist priest, saying that there is a problem among a few of us. That's not true.
Isn't it because of internal chaos? After he asked me, I started to think about it myself. If there is a problem between the four of us, the biggest suspect is Bai Jin. Zhu Kaihua and Zhang Kaixuan are our old comrades-in-arms. But if we want to say
It's Bai Jin, it doesn't look like it. Not to mention that she is such a weak woman. When we met Bai Jin, my eldest and second brother were already somewhere.
I shuddered thinking of this!
I remembered the peace letter my second brother sent me!
My mother's theory is that the letter of safety was from my second brother who wanted me to leave for Dunhuang. Then the person behind the scenes would definitely intervene in my affairs, so that the situation of the enemy being overt and the enemy being covert could be changed to that of my second brother.
In the dark, the people behind the scenes and I are in the light.
If this is the case, my second brother has been secretly monitoring me since I came to Dunhuang, watching my every move, and he expected that the people behind the scenes would definitely get involved.
Then is the matter clear?
The person behind the scenes is Bai Jin who found me after I came to Dunhuang?
Thinking back on what Bai Jin told us about her, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Bai Jin knew about my father's team back then, and also said that he was guided by a mysterious man to find me. At first, I thought the mysterious man who guided her was my second brother.
Now that I think about it from a different perspective, there are too many loopholes in her words!
Those who knew my father's team at that time, apart from the descendants of that team, also knew the driving force behind the scenes. As for the driving force behind the scenes she mentioned, it was even more difficult to find out. She herself didn't know the person who guided him.
We don’t even know who the mysterious person is. Isn’t it all her one-sided story, with no proof at all?
As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but stop. When Zhu Kaihua saw it, he asked me: "Xiao Sanliang, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating profusely? I said it's not like that. Your body can't stand walking like this?"
I yelled and said, I'm just not in good health, otherwise my elder brother would ask me to have half the fighting power?
Zhu Kaihua did not continue to laugh at me. Instead, he took some of the few weights on my body and moved me again. On the way down, I just stared at Bai Jin calmly.
If it were really you, already here, the fox's tail would be exposed soon, right?
