Zhao Yan looked towards the direction of the highway, where figures appeared one after another. Some of these figures were wielding hammers and pulling trailers.
"When work feels hard, think about the Red Army's 25,000 soldiers. When work feels tiring, think about Lei Feng and Dong Cunrui."
Loud slogans echoed throughout the highway. However, Zhao Yan not only was not infected by this lively scene, but felt chills all over his body.
Because these people were all wearing military uniforms, the equipment, and the slogans they shouted were all unique to an independent era, and that era was the era when this road was originally built.
The story told by the middle-aged man before appeared in Zhao Yan's mind unconsciously. Isn't the scene in front of him exactly what the middle-aged man told him?
However, he was a veteran in tomb robbing. After being frightened, Zhao Yan immediately woke up and was about to hide in the tent. However, before Zhao Yan could shrink into the tent, an officer on the road suddenly looked towards him.
Zhao Yan looked this way, then frowned and waved his hand, and the two soldiers carrying guns beside him walked towards Zhao Yan.
"Grandma's, has it been discovered?"
Zhao Yan was in a panic when he saw the two soldiers walking towards him, and the two soldiers arrived in front of him in almost the blink of an eye.
"What are you doing standing here and being lazy? Do you want to be imprisoned? Why don't you hurry up and get to work?"
The two soldiers glared at Zhao Yan, but what they said made Zhao Yan stunned. His eyes rolled around. Zhao Yan understood that these soldiers regarded him as one of them.
But even though he knew that these soldiers had mistaken the wrong person, Zhao Yan did not dare to explain, because he was afraid that with this explanation, these soldiers would attack him, so he could only walk out of the tent tremblingly and follow the two soldiers towards him.
Walk towards the road and find an opportunity to escape when no one is paying attention.
Not long after Zhao Yan followed the two soldiers towards the road, Hou Jiu's figure was revealed from the tent next door to Zhao Yan. When he saw his apprentice being taken away by the soldiers, Hou Jiu's face showed
Anxious look.
"These are the remnant souls of the army personnel who built this road. These people died here because of the construction of the road, so they have strong obsessions in their hearts. Even if they become ghosts, they are still repeating the construction.
I don’t want to leave here because of my job.”
Behind Hou Jiu, Jia San appeared at some point, "Your apprentice may be in danger."
If a living person stays with a group of ghosts, even if he is not killed by the ghosts, the Yin Qi he is contaminated with is enough to eat a pot.
"Third brother, what should we do now?"
"Wait, we have to wait and see if there is a chance to rescue your apprentice." Jia San looked seriously and took out a jade bottle from his arms, then poured out a few black pills from it, "Put this into your mouth and press
Under the tongue, it can prevent the invasion of Yin Qi."
However, Jia San and the others peeked carefully from one side because they knew the situation, but some people didn't know.
ah!
A woman's scream came. It was obviously the sound made by a woman who was disturbed by the movement outside and opened the tent to take a peek.
As soon as the woman's voice came out, the soldiers looked in this direction, and then a small team walked towards the tent where the woman was.
The woman was not alone. When she screamed, her friends naturally came out to check, and they were also exposed to the eyes of the soldiers.
"These five people have lost their minds."
Three men and two women, led by several soldiers, followed behind like zombies. Their faces had no trace of expression and looked dull. They soon joined the construction army like Zhao Yan.
.
The construction of the army lasted for an hour. It was not until a sharp bell rang in the area that the soldiers stopped. Then, carrying various tools, they uniformly headed towards the Kunlun Mountains.
"No, they are about to withdraw. If they don't rescue Zhao Yan, they may not have a chance." Hou Jiu couldn't help it. He was just an apprentice. Naturally, he couldn't watch his apprentice being taken away by these ghosts.
.
"Let's take a gamble." Jia San has no choice. In this situation, he doesn't know where these ghosts are going. This is his last chance.
However, just when Hou Jiu was about to take action, a voice sounded behind him, "Take the guy and follow these ghosts."
The one who spoke was Deng Wei. At this moment, Deng Wei looked at the ghosts, but his eyes shone brightly.
"Follow these ghosts?" Hou Jiu did not expect that Deng Wei would say such words.
"That's right, if you want to save your apprentice, you must keep up with these ghosts, and this is also an opportunity for us." Deng Wei didn't explain too much, and just walked towards chasing these ghosts. It seemed that there was no chance at all.
Don't be afraid of being discovered by these ghosts.
"Let's follow." Jia San's old eyes also had an inexplicable luster at this moment, "Since the sponsor is not afraid, what do we who often run in the fields have to fear?"
"Why, won't you follow?"
When Jia San and others followed the large group of ghosts, Du Ruoxi came to Qin Yu who was still sitting in front of the bonfire. These ghosts seemed to have chosen to ignore Qin Yu from beginning to end.
"Why do you want to follow?" Qin Yu spoke up and asked.
"Because only by following these ghosts can we find the way to Kunlun Yaochi."
"How did you know?" Qin Yu frowned.
"Don't forget, I came from that department after all, and I have a lot of information in my hands." Du Ruoxi smiled casually, "As for the Queen Mother of the West, Lao A and the others have never given up research."
As a department that seeks the secrets of immortality, it is impossible for Lao A and the others not to investigate and study the Queen Mother of the West, a mysterious figure with many legends in the history of immortality.
However, to investigate the Queen Mother of the West, they must first find Yaochi and find the traces of the Queen of the West. While investigating all the clues related to the Queen of the West, Lao A and the others found an important clue.
More than sixty years ago, highway construction began. In addition to paying a huge price, a strange thing happened during the construction process.
At that time, when the construction troops were building the section from Golmud to Kunlun Pass, they used blasting because they needed to open a mountain road. However, after the blasting was completed, the troops at that time discovered a hole in the ground.
A natural cave blown out by them.
When the cave was first discovered, the officer responsible for building this section of the road arranged for people to go down and check it out. However, the first dozen or so soldiers who entered never came out again.
This situation naturally shocked the officer, and he did not dare to hide it at the moment. While continuing to send people to search, he reported the situation to the headquarters.
However, the people behind them did not find anything unusual after entering the cave, and they came out safely. The only strange thing was that the dozen or so soldiers from before disappeared without a trace in the cave.
The disappearance of more than a dozen soldiers was not a small matter. The superiors took it very seriously and sent a team to investigate. After a month of investigation, this team came to an astonishing result.
The reason why those dozen soldiers disappeared was because they encountered a space rift and were sucked into another space.
Of course, this was the team's answer to the officer. I'm afraid only the people at the top know what the real situation is.
"Old A and the others found out the secret files about the investigation results reported by that team through other channels, and then they found out that those dozen soldiers were not involved in any other dimensions at all. Those dozen soldiers were actually in
Found."
Du Ruoxi looked at Qin Yu and said word by word: "It's just that these dozen soldiers have gone crazy, and that team got some information from these soldiers through some means. These soldiers they once
I have been to a place where there is a vast lake, and there are even cranes wandering above the lake."
Hearing this, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Old A and the others believe that these soldiers should have arrived at Yaochi by chance, but these soldiers did not enter Yaochi with their bodies, but with their souls, because it was written in the document that these soldiers all lost one
One soul."
"So, you think that if you want to find Yaochi, you can only follow these ghosts." Qin Yu looked at Du Ruoxi and concluded.
"Yes, this is the result that Old A and the others came to, and in fact, Old A and the others also encountered the situation like this before. It's a pity that Old A and the others were discovered by these ghosts, and they almost died forever.
Can’t come back.”
Although Old A and the others pursue the secret of immortality and know many strange events that ordinary people don’t know, in the final analysis, Old A and the others are just ordinary people. Even if they know that following the ghost can enter the Yaochi, they still have nothing
method.
Because Old A's department has less and less power, and with the existence of Yaochi, Old A and the others dare not announce it to the outside world. Once the news leaks out, it will inevitably attract the prying eyes of all forces.
"Currently, it seems that Deng Wei knows a lot of information, at least some clues related to the Queen Mother of the West. I'm afraid Deng Wei knows as much as Lao A and the others."
Qin Yu didn't say anything. He stood up from the ground and looked towards the direction where the ghost disappeared, with a smile on his face. "But this time, Deng Wei may be disappointed."
"Why?"
"Because these soldiers are not ghosts!" (To be continued)
