Although Wu Chang's memory was confused, he still remembered some basic things, especially his master, a Zen master named Qili. He studied Zen with the Zen master for seven years, and he knew a lot about Buddhism.
Today, Wu Chang saw this strange box underground in Huang Exing. His first feeling was that of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Wu Chang's eyes filled with tears. He didn't care about the danger and desperately tried to climb down the cliff to get the metal box.
"Are you crazy? There is a river of lava below, do you want your life?" Pike cursed angrily. He really wanted to leave him alone, but Wuchang had just saved his life, and now he couldn't abandon him no matter what.
Wu Chang threw his backpack, including the rainbow crystal inside, to Pike the Gopher. "You carry it for me, and I'll go take a look at this weird box." After that, he drove three solid mining nails into the rock wall and started climbing.
Tie the rope tightly.
The metal box is only about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave where Wu Chang is. The box is not big. Judging from the edge, it should be a cube with a side length of about half a meter. About two-thirds of it is hidden in the stone wall.
Wu Chang couldn't figure out how the box got into the stone wall, but looking at the degree of integration between the box and the stone wall, Wu Chang felt that the box should have been thrown into the magma. Finally, the magma cooled and formed rock, and the box was sealed.
In it.
Today's earthquake not only shook up the mountain, forming this lava river, but also exposed this strange box.
"Be careful, be careful. Left foot, move your left foot another half inch, yes, yes..." Pike the gopher lay on the ground, his head sticking out of the rock wall, pointing the direction to Impermanence.
After a while, Wu Chang was very close to the box, but this position was also very close to the lava. The rocks kicked by Wu Chang fell into the rolling lava river, and the splashed magma almost burned Wu Chang's body.
A large section of the hanging climbing rope had been ignited by the magma. If Wuchang's legs and feet had not been flexible enough to stamp out the flames in time, the rising flames might have burned his body.
"Slower, slower." Pike's heart had jumped into his throat. He was speechless. He had completely given up in the face of this madman Pike.
At this time, Wu Chang was not feeling well either. The heat from the magma made him sweat profusely. The inside of his breathing mask was full of steam, and his goggles were already gray. Wu Chang pulled open the mask, and just when he wanted to take a good breath, he was hit by a violent force.
The heat made him suffocate. Unprepared, Wu Chang's palm slipped, and his whole body fell quickly.
"Fuck...be careful..." Pike was so scared that he didn't even dare to open his eyes.
Pike definitely underestimated Wuchang's ability. At the moment of falling, Wuchang used all his strength with both hands and clenched the climbing rope tightly. More than one meter of blood was stained on the climbing rope. Only then did he stop the falling momentum.
Stop it.
At this time, Wu Chang was already close to the metal box. At a touching distance, the exquisite reliefs on the box were more clearly identifiable. It was only then that Wu Chang discovered that there were not only reliefs of the Four Heavenly Kings on the box, but also on the sides of the box.
There are also some reliefs of scenes in the corner, which seem to be stories from Buddhist scriptures.
Wu Chang didn't have time to carefully identify the picture above. He stretched out his hand to touch the box with his own hands, and he was still thinking about how to get this big guy up. But just when his fingers touched a part of the box
In an instant, the entire rift valley suddenly shook violently.
"Aftershocks, this is a fucking aftershock! You brat, come up here quickly..." Pike looked at the falling rocks above his head and wanted to escape early, but he couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, the metal box suddenly shone brightly, and it was like a solid white light that enveloped Wu Chang's entire body. In the dazzling white light, Wu Chang was surprised to see that the half-meter-square metal box suddenly fell apart and fell from the box.
A black sphere the size of a pigeon egg actually floated out of the middle.
The pitch-black sphere changes into various shapes, and dozens of silver-white silk threads wrap the black ball tightly around the periphery of the sphere.
Wu Chang was dumbfounded. He never expected that such a big box would only contain such a small black ball, and that this black ball would actually move as if it were alive.
What was even more unimaginable was what was still to come. The black ball seemed to have discovered the existence of Impermanence, and suddenly flew in front of him. The wrapped silver thread branched out into dozens of pieces, and penetrated directly into Impermanence's skull, so fast that it was impossible to avoid it.
There was no pain or discomfort, just a cold feeling. Wu Chang watched helplessly as the silver threads pierced his head, unable to do anything. In just half a second, the silver threads were pulled out and woven in mid-air.
A thin silver cord was tightly wrapped around Wu Chang's neck.
In an instant, a strange necklace appeared, with a thin silver cord wrapped around Wu Chang's neck. At this time, the strange black ball became like a black diamond, hanging quietly under the neck.
There was no time for Wu Chang to think about it. The vibration at this time was already very intense. The exquisite metal box had fallen into the magma and disappeared. At this time, the three fixed miner nails were gradually loosened.
At the critical moment of life and death, Wuchang's arms suddenly exerted force, and he used the secret of luck in Dragon Tiger Chongli, and he climbed up in just a few moments. Before Wuchang could stand firm, he grabbed Pike and ducked into the door that had just walked over.
Mine tunnel.
"Let's go, hurry up, the further away from here the better" Wu Chang didn't even explain to Pike, dragging him all the way.
Strangely enough, the aftershocks seemed to be concentrated in the crack. The further the two of them walked out, the smaller the vibrations became. After running a few hundred meters, they could no longer feel the vibrations.
Pike stared at Wu Chang inexplicably and asked, "What was that thing just now? Why can't I see the white light at all?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? As soon as I touched the box, there was an earthquake. The good box fell into pieces and fell into the lava."
Wu Chang didn't explain it too carefully to Pike. It was better for this kind of secret to be kept in the stomach. As for the necklace, it was hidden in the clothes and most people couldn't see it.
The established route could not be walked now. The two of them took a long detour for an hour before reaching the mine tunnel that Parker was more familiar with. When the strong alloy brackets appeared in front of them, they realized that there was no
get lost.
The mine tunnels were very quiet after the earthquake. No one dared to go down the mine at this time. They were the only ones walking alone in the underground maze for another three hours before they finally saw the light from the cave entrance and the flying volcanic ash.
"We are here, we are safe, but let me tell you, we took a long detour, and the exit now is not the B1313 mine, but the B1314 mine next to it..."
"The territory of Coyote Seven?" Wu Chang became alert at that time.
"Don't be nervous. The mine tunnels between the mining areas are all figured out. It's normal to take detours from other mining areas. As long as we don't cause trouble, they won't make things difficult for them. And Blood Rose will be fine during the black snow."
Going to the mines and wandering around..."
Pike's words made Wu Chang feel a little more at ease, but when they walked out of the mine tunnel and were exposed to the black snow, they realized that the reality was not that simple.
"Isn't this that annoying guy?" As soon as Wu Chang showed his head, a voice came from not far away. Looking up, Wu Chang frowned in depression. Damn, aren't these the fat twin thugs?
That's right, on the high platform of the mine, the twin thugs, Big Fat and Little Fatty, were supervising the miners below to pack their equipment. From their condescending position, they recognized Wu Chang and Pike at a glance.
"Pike the Gopher? And that nasty guy?" The eyes of the two thugs immediately lit up. Isn't the boy next to Pike the Gopher the nasty guy the boss's wife said? He actually wrongly accused us of being the boss's sons.
Let us both lose face in front of everyone.
The two jumped off the high platform, leading a group of thugs to crowd Wu Chang and Pike into a corner.
"Hey, brothers, isn't this an earthquake? We have no choice but to take a detour from here. We are all miners and we should understand..." The flattering Pike nodded and bowed to the two fat men.
"Go away." Big Fatty slapped Pike aside, pointed at Wuchang and said, "Boy, if you make our boss lady unhappy, then just let us punch you three times. If you beat us with three punches, it will be natural."
Let you go." After saying this, the two fat men pinched their knuckles hard, making a crackling sound.
Gopher Pike's eyes were dizzy when he looked at the two pairs of casserole-sized fists. He quickly squeezed over and said softly, "Brother, two eldest brothers, this guy just broke through the hell gate, and his body is weak. You two are extremely powerful."
Will he still survive after three punches? For my sake, I’ll treat everyone to a drink, so please spare his life..."
Pike's flattery was very comfortable, and the fat man nodded and said, "Since you are buying me a drink, of course I will let him go, but three punches are unavoidable. I'll try harder if possible."
Pike still wanted to persuade him, but Impermanence stopped him. He stuffed his miner's bag into Pike's arms and said loudly, "Two bosses, I said something wrong and should be punished. I just ask everyone to be merciful and spare my life."
, I can treat you all to drinks later."
After saying that, Wu Chang put his head in his hands, squatted in the corner and resigned to his fate.
Pike was pushed aside by the thugs and could not help at all. He could understand Wu Chang's plan to a certain extent. It was impossible not to let Big Fat and Fatty get angry about this matter today. More than 20 thugs surrounded him and he couldn't run away.
I can't run away. What's more, there is such a precious crystal in the backpack. This thing cannot be exposed.
Pike's thinking was right, but not comprehensive. What Wu Chang fears most now is to make things big, because once the big thing attracts other people, it will be difficult to deal with, especially now that he has no identity at all, Coyote Seven
He Xue Rose will definitely take this point to cause trouble.
As for these two fat guys, Wu Chang can tell at a glance that they are a pair of mentally retarded children who are definitely immature mentally. As long as you follow these people, they will naturally let you go when they have enough fun. As long as you can be safe.
If you return to the B1313 Distribution Center, it will be considered safe.
The fists came down like raindrops. Perhaps Wu Chang's resignation played a role. No one in this group of people was willing to kill them, especially the two fat guys. They actually punched them three times and then stayed away to watch their subordinates do it.
went.
"Fight, come on, come on, fight!" The two fat men shouted excitedly as if they were watching a farce.
Wu Chang, who was curled up in the corner, tried his best to protect the weak points on his body, exposing his rough and fleshy back and buttocks to let the thugs vent their anger. At the same time, he also spread the power of dragon and tiger all over his body, which was also a good thing.
Protection. Generally speaking, Wu Chang was not harmed in this attack.
But this was not the case in the eyes of outsiders. They only saw Wu Chang being beaten and unable to fight back, huddled on the ground and shivering. All the miners backed away in fear, while Pike the Gopher cried with flowers all over his face.
