Then I heard Yang Xiao's voice saying: "If nothing goes wrong, why do you mean that Director Wu is also inside? Besides, Fatty Sun, where do you think the place is? You can go in when you want, and you can get out when you want? As long as there is someone in the way behind you,
Now, not even the people who set up the situation can control what is going on inside. If I go back again, it may not be the same path I took just now."
At this moment, Wu Rendi and I had already walked out of the exit one after another. Everyone outside had already gathered. When they saw us coming out, they all gathered around us. Even Shao Yiyi came over one by one and glanced at Wu Rendi.
Fatty Sun said: "Lazi, what are you doing in there? It's been so long, I almost went in to look for you." Xiong Wanyi next to him also helped: "Yes, yes, I don't worry, if you don't come out, I will
Drag Fatty Sun in."
I glanced at Xiong Wanyi and Fatty Sun and said, "Don't worry about it. Next time if you are trapped somewhere, I will ask Lao Yang to find you."
Xiong Wanyi's face immediately turned red, and he laughed at me a few times. Fatty Sun, on the other hand, also laughed a few times: "We are all our brothers, why are we so outspoken? Lazi, tell me, why are you and Director Wu so close?"
The time hasn’t come out yet?”
I smiled bitterly and glanced at Wu Rendi. He was whispering quietly to Yang Xiao at the side and had no intention of paying attention to us. At this time, Ximen Lian and Mi Rongheng also came over, and the four of them asked me questions together.
In the end, I deduced that it was because the incense provided by Yang Xiao was broken, so Wu Rendi and I stayed inside for a while. I told all the irrelevant things in it, except for the question and answer game between Wu Rendi and me and Lin Sihan's matter. Then
It's natural not to say it
I secretly glanced at Shao Yiyi. The little girl may have been frightened and her face turned pale. However, she kept looking at Wu Rendi. Her attitude towards Director Wu had changed. She was no longer cold and indifferent.
Yes, there is an indescribable feeling in the corners of my eyes and brows. My heart skipped a beat, no, it wasn't love that grew out of hate... You must not have that kind of thought.
When I was thinking wildly, Wu Rendi and Yang Xiao came to a result. Yang Xiao took the lead, and he didn't waste any nonsense: "Everyone is here, let's keep moving forward."
Move forward? Only then did I react. When I came out, I was surrounded by Fatty Sun and the others. I had no idea what was happening around them, which was a bit unreasonable. After all, I am also a member of the special forces.
Fortunately, the Sky Eye was reopened. Even though the surroundings were pitch black, it had no effect on me. I took a rough look around. This is where the four forking roads just converged. In front of me was a warehouse-like warehouse.
It was a small place, but only the contents seemed to have been moved away, leaving dozens of empty wooden boxes scattered in every corner.
While I was watching, Fatty Sun unexpectedly came over to me. He lowered his voice and said, "Lazi, I didn't say that, it's so dark and numb, what do you think?"
Did Fatty Sun see it? I was shocked. Wu Rendi had told me not to reveal the reopening of the Sky Eye yet. I could only say perfunctorily: "The Sky Eye is gone, what can I see? Who knows?
When will something jump out from the front, back, left, or right? Keep an eye on it, so you won’t be in a hurry if something goes wrong."
"Oh" Fatty Sun agreed and said nothing again. It could be heard from his tone that Fatty Sun was still doubtful.
The formation is the same as when we came down, with Yang Xiao at the head, Mi Rongheng at the end, and Wu Rendi in the middle.
Without saying a word, Yang Xiao went straight to the bottom of the warehouse and stopped when he reached the wall. Just like before, Yang Xiao was just like me in Shuiliandong, groping on the wall, but this time I
Finally I could see clearly, a green human face appeared in the center of the wall.
Watching Yang Xiao open the wall, now that he has nothing to do with this place, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death. When the wall opened, we each took a few steps back and tried our best to find a few places where we could hide and take cover. Then we
Slowly falling along the wall, the scene inside appears.
Unlike the darkness outside, the other side of the wall was brightly lit. I could see clearly that there was an altar inside. Like the Dian altar in Yunnan Shuiliandong, there was a tower with a human head erected in the center.
I took a sneak peek at Yang Xiao. He was not surprised. He looked at the scene inside the altar as if it were natural.
Yang Xiao can no longer be described as a master of arts and bold, he simply goes out to do his best. When Yang Xiao stepped into the altar, he had already started shouting: "Is the person inside with the surname Zhao or the person surnamed Tao!
come out!"
"Lao Yang is crazy!" Fatty Sun took out his pistol. I thought he was going to rush over. Unexpectedly, he turned around and said to me: "Lazi, won't you come?"
I rolled my eyes and said, "Great Sage, if you can't do it, don't pose."
Before I could take action, Mi Rongheng had already pulled out his stick and followed Yang Xiao. After all, he had been classmates for a few days. His relationship with Yang Xiao was better than that of Xiong Wanyi and the others.
Then Wu Rendi helped Shao Yiyi enter the altar one by one. Seeing Director Wu also go in, Fatty Sun and I, Xiong Wanyi and Ximen Lian also entered the altar without hesitation.
Once inside, you feel like you have returned to the Shuiliandong Altar. The layout and details of the two altars are exactly the same, except for the mummy words in the Dian Kingdom Altar.
"Lazi, is this ghost Taoism, or some other altar in Yunnan?" Fatty Sun asked me.
I'm not sure, how can there be such a place under the girls' school? Looking at its scale and appearance, it is absolutely impossible that it was built in the past few years. How was the girls' school built in the first place? Excavation was dug to build the school.
It's impossible not to see such a huge project underneath the ground when laying the foundation. I seem to smell a conspiracy.
Fatty Sun over there was still reluctant: "Lazi, please give me an explanation. After all, you also know a little bit about ghost Taoism. Tell me."
I turned back to look at him and said, "Yang Xiao knows better than me, go and ask him."
Fatty Sun curled his lips: "Aren't you talking nonsense? See for yourself, what Yang Xiao is doing, he is almost scolding the street."
At this time, Yang Xiao was still shouting, asking the people named Zhao and Tao inside to get out. His words meant that everything here seemed to have a close relationship with these two people. However, Wu Rendi’s reaction
, I can’t see clearly. He didn’t mean to stop Yang Xiao. He just looked forward with his hands behind his back. The direction he looked at happened to be the location of the darkroom in the Shuiliandong (if there is one here).
Just as Yang Xiao finished his round of shouting, the door to the secret room in front suddenly opened, and a man walked out. This man looked to be in his twenties or less than thirty years old, with a tired look on his face. He looked familiar to me.
Isn't this the boyfriend of the math teacher in our class?
"I know that the meager calculations of Ghost Taoism can't stop you." After the man came out, he did an action that was unbelievable to us. He knelt on the ground and carved a head for Yang Xiao: "Ghost Taoism is unworthy of its fourteenth generation disciple - Tao
Xiang Kong, I have met the founding master."
The founder? In other words, Ghost Taoism was founded by Yang Xiao... But thinking about what he said in the fifteen-story building in Qilin City, he has lived for such a long time, and according to Yang Xiao's character, he has served as a leader
It is not impossible for the cult leader to become the leader, but when he was on his way out, Wu Rendi once said that Yang Xiao and here are in conflict with each other. Now it seems that he is a little confused about what is going on...
Thinking of Wu Rendi, I turned around and glanced at him. Director Wu didn't seem surprised. He just stepped back a few steps to avoid the position where Tao Xiangkong was kowtowing. There was a look of disgust on his face. This expression looked familiar to me.
, it was the first time he met Wu Rendi in the Water Curtain Cave. When he saw the mummy on the ground, his expression showed on his face.
Looking at Tao Xiangkong on the ground, he kowtows to no end, and the kowtow is still long-headed. If one head kowtows up, the whole person will lie on the ground and prostrate himself to the ground. Five or six heads kowtow down, and the whole person will look gray and disgraceful.
There was already blood on his forehead, and it was dripping down.
Yang Xiao stood there carefree, accepting Tao Xiangkong's kowtows with peace of mind. It wasn't until he kowtowed twenty or thirty times that Yang Xiao said, "Forget it, I owe the rest first, and we'll talk about it later." At this point,
Yang Xiao paused, stared at Tao Xiangkong and said, "Where are the others?"
"No more" Tao Xiangkong wiped the blood from his forehead and said with his head lowered.
"No more?" Yang Xiao stared at Tao Xiangkong, his eyes fierce: "In the first year of Xuantong, when I left, there were nearly a thousand people from the Tao and Zhao families. In just two hundred years, there were
Are you the only one left?"
Tao Xiangkong still didn't dare to raise his head and said timidly: "When I was a child, I heard my father and several clan uncles talk about it. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, our Ghost Taoism still had some strength. Later, it was controlled by the religious affairs department of the Republic of China government at that time.
The handling committee has suppressed it several times, but the last one was very damaging. The two founders, Zhao and Tao, who founded the religion with you, were martyred one after another. So far, the strength of our ghost Taoism has been greatly damaged, and we can only survive. After liberation, we have experienced several more attacks.
The movement has almost exhausted our remaining troops. After my father and several clan uncles passed away, I was the only one left in the Ghost Taoism."
After hearing this, Yang Xiao had a sad expression on his face, staring blankly at the ground. Wu Rendi suddenly coughed behind him, and this cough pulled Yang Xiao back.
Yang Xiao glanced at Wu Rendi, then turned back to Tao Xiangkong and said, "What's going on with the girls' school up there? Also, who built this place?" The two sentences finally got to the point.
Tao Xiangkong answered the second question first: "This underground palace was built during the Republic of China. It was originally intended to be used to evade the religious affairs committee at that time. In the early stages of construction, Grandmaster Zhao Dejun was based on your previous experience at the main altar.
It was built with a plan, but he just added a little bit of his personal ideas to the details."
"Ideas? Why are he thinking of ways to target me?" Yang Xiao sneered and interrupted Tao Xiangkong: "It's just that he didn't expect that I was also guarding against him." Tao Xiangkong looked a little embarrassed.
, Yang Xiao snorted: "Go on."
"As for the girls' school above?" Tao Xiangkong sighed, hesitated, and then said: "We were not like this at the beginning. We just had an arrow on the string and had to take action. Just now I said that my father and uncle passed away one after another.
It's not accurate. How about the specifics? You can see for yourself." Tao Xiangkong walked to the wall where he was fascinated. He didn't know what mechanism was pressed on the wall, and the entire darkroom wall slowly retracted.
The interior of the underground darkroom was exposed.
Inside the darkroom are layers of grids, and inside the grids lie about a hundred mummies. They are exactly the same as the mummies encountered in the Water Curtain Cave in Yunnan.
Fatty Sun and I looked at each other. For a period of time after Shuilian Cave, we both had nightmares almost every day. They finally stopped a little bit in the past few days, but we didn't expect it to start again here.
Yang Xiao was not much more surprised to see the mummy than Fatty Sun and I. The moment the mummy appeared, Yang Xiao's face turned pale. He quickly took a few steps back and almost bumped into Mi Rongheng who was standing behind him.
Yang Xiao stabilized his mind and almost shouted to Tao Xiangkong: "Why is this a mummy?"
Tao Xiangkong said: "When the movement first started in the 1950s, there were more than a hundred people in our Ghost Taoism scattered across the country. My father and several uncles wanted to reorganize the Ghost Taoism and connected believers from all over the country.
However, at that time, few people still had ambitions for Ghost Taoism. In desperation, my father believed that the key to reorganizing Ghost Taoism was to ask the founder of Ghost Taoism to come out again. According to the records in the teachings, my father and uncles went to Yunnan Province.
They were searching for your whereabouts in their hometown. Although they didn’t find you, they brought back a fairy recipe for immortality when they came back.”
"They used that fairy prescription to become this kind of virtue?" Yang Xiao's eyes twitched. His disgust for these mummies was not much stronger than that of Wu Rendi.
"Yes," Tao Xiangkong said, "My father gathered friends from all over the country here. He originally wanted to live forever together, but he didn't expect that they would all end up like this."
"What about you?" Yang Xiao said to Tao Xiangkong: "They all used that fairy prescription, why didn't you use it?"
Tao Xiangkong explained: "I was seriously ill at that time and had just recovered. He was afraid that my bones would be weak and I would not be able to withstand the properties of the fairy prescription, so my father asked me to rest for a while before using the fairy prescription. Unexpectedly, I would rely on it for a while.
A serious illness was avoided."
The two of them asked and answered questions, but none of us had any intention of interrupting.
