"Yes, Zhongyi, we'd better retreat. This damn place is too damn scary. We don't want to become these sacrifices again." The big man finished vomiting and said with a pale face. It seemed that he was scared.
It's not light. The more we experience, the less courage we have.
"What do you two mean?" I asked Jiao Ba and Chang Shan.
After Chang Shan and Jiao Ba looked at each other, Jiao Ba said, "I thought about it for a moment, we have to stay here. We definitely can't go out. Since the white wolf doesn't dare to come in now, then we can hide here. Maybe from now on."
An exit can be found here, or... it may be possible to break this barrier."
"That's what I mean too. It's useless to go out. We can't get out of this ice city. It's better for us to check here first. If we really don't find anything, it's not too late to make plans." Chang Shan agreed and said,
It seems that the two of them have been thinking about this matter just now and have reached an agreement.
"Ah? Stay here? What's there to check in this damn place? I felt sick all over as soon as I saw this spiritual tablet." The big man turned his head and looked at the spiritual tablet again, with fear in his eyes.
"Jiao Ba and Chang Shan are right. We can only stay here. Think about it, we will definitely die after we go out. At least we can have a chance of survival if we stay here. Besides, don't you think this place is strange? These spiritual tablets
Where did it come from? Who is enshrining them, why are they enshrined, and who are they? Maybe as long as we unravel these things, we can break this barrier." Li Xin said seriously, this woman,
Still so courageous.
After the big man and Shunzi looked at each other, they both nodded helplessly, "You're right, running out would mean death, so it's better to stay and fight."
"What do we need to do now?" I could only listen to their arrangements.
"We have to find out everything here." Chang Shan looked at me and said.
"Brother Changshan, what do you think...where did these offerings come from?" Jiao Ba looked at him and asked. The grandson's expression didn't change at all. If we talk about courage alone, Jiao Ba is actually much bolder than me.
Yes, because the things he comes into contact with are different from mine.
"It's very possible... that they are the crew of that ice ship. Aren't the organs on those twenty crew members also missing?" Chang Shan looked up at the spiritual tablet above and said calmly.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, but who is enshrined here?"
"Could it be those white wolves? After they kill people, they bring human organs here for worship." This is the only thing I can think of.
"Maybe not? The white wolf doesn't dare to come in, so how can it come to offer sacrifices? Those beasts, I see, look like executioners." Chang Shan looked at me and said with a smile.
"Then there is only the Ice Demon. It is probably the Ice Demon who is enshrining these spiritual tablets." Jiao Ba said in a low voice.
Li Xin asked, "Whose are these six spiritual tablets? Why does the Ice Demon enshrine them?"
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this. There's nothing written on the spirit tablets. There's no name or date. There's just such a broken sign. I analyze...these six spirit tablets may represent six people.
These six people are probably the ones who created this barrier."
Chang Shan squinted his eyes and said, "Well, that's more or less the case. If these six people are wizards, then their combined power can completely support this barrier."
"What should we do to break this barrier, and where are Mr. Mai and the others?" This is the most important thing at the moment.
"To be honest, I don't know how to break this barrier. As for where Mr. Mai and the others are, I know nothing like you. All we can do is close our eyes and move forward.
"Whether you can leave here or not depends entirely on luck." Chang Shan said mockingly, seemingly unsure of himself.
"Okay, let's search here first and see if we can find some clues." Jiao Ba suggested.
"Okay, let's do it this way." That's all we can do for now.
But just when we were about to start searching, Jiao Ba suddenly stopped us and said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Lao Ba?" I felt like he thought of something again.
"I suddenly thought, is the purpose of the Ice Demon enshrining this spiritual tablet just to maintain this enchantment? Or is it that the spiritual tablet is the secret of this enchantment?" Jiao Ba's eyes flashed with a gleam, a very cunning one.
eyes.
"It is very possible that these tablets will not be enshrined here for no reason." Chang Shan nodded and said in agreement.
"In this case, let's just smash this tablet." After Jiao Ba finished speaking, he raised his gun and shot.
The big man reacted the fastest. When he saw Jiao Ba taking action, he also picked up his rifle and started shooting with "bang bang bang". This showed that he was already prepared. The rest of us also followed suit and fired.
Under the continuous bombardment of various guns, these six spiritual tablets and platforms were quickly smashed to pieces, with not even a hair left.
After a few seconds we stopped, and I looked around and said, "It seems like... nothing has changed."
Jiao Ba was also a little confused, "Did I make a mistake? Isn't this spiritual tablet the secret to breaking the barrier?" Apparently he was also a little confused, after all, he couldn't tell for sure.
We waited for a while, but there was still no change. Whether it was inside or outside the house, it was still the same as before. Except for the broken spiritual tablet in front of us, everything else in the house was still there, which meant that the barrier was not there.
be broken.
Jiao Ba cursed in frustration, "***, maybe I made a mistake and wasted so many bullets."
The big man said with great satisfaction, "What's the point of wasting this? I feel uncomfortable looking at this magic tablet, and I've long wanted to fire it."
Li Xin said with a cold face, "Yes, it's better to destroy it. It will save you the heartache of watching it."
"Sigh... I was so happy for nothing. I thought I could leave this hellish place." Shunzi sighed, somewhat disappointed.
I put my arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, we will leave here. Let's continue the search. Don't waste time."...
We started to search this escort agency with flashlights. To be honest, this escort agency was very big. If it were placed in ancient reality, this should be a escort agency with a relatively high status in the martial arts.
But in the hall we are in, except for the spiritual tablets that were placed in the innermost part, there is nothing else. There are not even tables and chairs. It is very strange. Now even the tablets have been destroyed by us, so
The entire hall is basically empty.
There is a side door on the left side of the hall. After we passed through the side door, we saw another relatively large courtyard in front of us. This should be the backyard of this escort agency.
The backyard is completely different from the front yard. You can tell from the front yard that it is used for martial arts training. This backyard is more like a normal life, with many flowers and plants, and a rockery in the middle. If these things were not frozen, they would look very beautiful.
, but now it looks a little weird.
There are also many houses in the backyard, including several east and west wing rooms. The doors of each house are closed. It looks like it has no life at all. It is a completely dead house.
We walked to the middle of the yard, and I felt very unusual here. It was more evil than outside. There was a dangerous smell in the air, which made me involuntarily nervous.
"This place is very big. It looks even more spectacular than the Yamen." According to the specifications of the building, it is at least much larger than the County Yamen. If there are two more lion statues at the gate, it will be even more grand than the Yamen.
"It's not that bad. How much is this? If it were in the capital of our country, it would be worth hundreds of millions." The big man said with emotion.
"I've been wondering, which dynasty does this ice city belong to?" Shunzi asked confusedly.
"It should be from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but from the architectural style, it is closer to the Ming Dynasty. Plus the Ming Dynasty navigation chart in our hands, it is more accurate." Jiao Ba took two steps forward, but
It was quickly returned.
"If it were the Ming Dynasty, which city would it be?" Li Xin looked at me and asked.
I shook my head and said, "Don't ask me about this, I don't know. You have to ask them." I looked like Jiao Ba and Chang Shan.
But what I didn't expect was that they didn't know anything about it, because no one had ever seen this ancient city. Even in Beijing, they only knew that there was the Forbidden City. No one had seen the other streets with their own eyes.
At most, I have seen descriptions in TV series or books, unless it is time to travel back in time, but this is simply impossible.
"Where are Mr. Mai and the others?" I sighed, feeling very tired. Jenny didn't know whether she was alive or dead. She said she didn't care about her life anymore, but at this point, how could she rest assured?
Come on.
Li Xin held my arm and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine."
"I just said it was fine, but up to now there is no trace of anyone, and I don't know whether they are dead or alive. I always have a bad feeling that maybe they have been killed."
In the entire Ice City, this is the only place that is relatively safe. If they were really not dead, or if they were really here, they would not have been unable to hear the loud noise before.
"This ****, it's really hard to see a living person or a dead body." Shunzi cursed. He has been swearing more frequently recently.
Li Xin suddenly whispered in my ear, "Are you worried about Jenny?"
I was stunned, turned to look at her and said, "Who is worried about her? I am worried about Mr. Mai and Mantou." I said duplicity.
Li Xin sneered, "No need to cover it up, it's all written on your face."
"Nonsense, I don't have time to worry about her." I lied without blushing or heartbeat.
"You're still pretending, I mean Zhongyi, before you found me, were you more worried about Jenny or me." Li Xin asked with a smile while blowing scent in my ear.
I glared at her and said, "What time has it been and you still ask such a boring question? I really admire you."
