When I opened my hazy sleepy eyes again, Wu Zijin's head was curled up in his arms, drooling all over the floor, Shale was lying on the ground with a large font, the assault rifle was lying across his stomach, and Mao Tianlin had his eyes closed.
Eyes, sitting cross-legged on the ground, not sure if he is asleep, even Xue Yue has her head folded, leaning on Mao Tianlin's legs, only Shen Yuan is staring at the underground river, eyes straight, not knowing what he is thinking
What happened.
I looked at my watch. It was half past ten. In other words, I had only slept for more than four hours. Here, there was no difference between day and night. I was worried and nervous all the time. My work and rest time and biological clock were completely disrupted.
.
"Why don't you take a nap?" I said to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked back at me and said, "I'm not sleepy, and I always have to be alone, otherwise I'll be in trouble if there's an accident."
Not long after, other people woke up one after another. Wu Zijin, under the instruction of Shen Yuan, packed up the empty cans on the ground, Shale checked the guns and ammunition, and I looked at the antiques in the backpack and took out one in my hand from time to time.
After rubbing it for a while, Shen Yuan shoveled the whale oil on the ground back into the copper tube, and inserted the wicks one by one. I don't understand why he did this. There was plenty of whale oil in the copper tube, and there was quite a bit of it.
.
Seeing that everyone had packed up, Shen Yuan said, "Let's go."
No one asked which direction to go on the branch road, because our goal was very clear, to finish the Xiumen passage first, so we all followed Mao Tianlin and continued walking forward.
The passageway is still wide, and it seems to be getting wider. The underground river next to it flows quietly and slowly. It is very peaceful along the way, and I don't see any danger or anything wrong.
"It feels wrong! It's too quiet." I said to Shen Yuan next to me.
Shen Yuan said: "Boss Ye, it is a good idea to close the family. This is the right thing."
"fart."
I rolled my eyes at Shen Yuan and said: "It's auspicious to open the door. Why are there so many things that can kill people, and the Flower of the Other Side is also closing its doors? It's auspicious to have such horrible things. That's what you say with such nonsense.
Gotta get out."
Shen Yuan explained: "That's because opening the door and Huangquan merge into one, so it's thrilling. There are Bianhua flowers in Ximen, but you have also seen it yourself. Those Bianhua flowers just use people as fertilizer. Others
It is no different from ordinary flowers and plants. The problem now is that we still don’t know which one of the seven reincarnations Ximen overlaps with."
I looked at Shen Yuan speechlessly. People were being treated as fertilizer. It was only described in two easy words. And I was not sure which one of the seven reincarnations it was. To be so sure was too much for him.
It's unreliable, but I'm too lazy to dwell on it. This shabby old man and I are naturally incompatible.
"There is something ahead." Shale whispered to me.
I also saw that although the passage was not as bright as outside, it was not dim under the illumination of whale oil. The passage in front became extraordinarily wide. By rough estimation, the width was no smaller than a football field, and there were many trees.
The bulge is very high, like a huge bamboo shoot, but much thicker than a bamboo shoot. It is a bit far away and cannot be seen clearly.
"Pay attention." Mao Tianlin said.
Everyone was careful, hunched over and moved forward cautiously step by step. Shale picked up the assault rifle. I threw the assault rifle in my hand to Wu Zijin. His marksmanship was better than mine, and I pulled out my pistol.
Aim ahead.
Getting closer and closer, these standing things turned out to be stalagmites. It was strange. Most of the stalagmites appeared on the top of the natural cave, hanging upside down. And these stalagmites all grew on the ground, very high, and the shortest one in front of me was
The roots are more than twice my height, and they are also very dense, like shark's teeth, densely intertwined.
"So many stalagmites."
Shale looked at the countless stalagmites in front of him and said to me: "Brother Ye Zi, is there anything weird?"
"That's right! If there is any part of this damn place that is normal, tell me if there is any part of it that is not weird!"
I glanced at Shale sideways and said, "I'm just talking about weird now. It's not weird to see a human being! It's not weird to see a dragon that big! It's not weird to see the flower of the other side! Now you think it's weird to see a pile of stones!"
"
"Brother Ye Zi, that's not what I meant."
Shale rubbed his nose and said: "I...I...I just want to remind you, be careful."
"No way?"
Wu Zijin said: "Have we reached the end of Ximen?"
The stalagmites are very tall and very
The dense and dense mountains block the entire passage. It feels like there is no road. However, the underground river next to it still stretches forward, and the top of the passage looks very empty, so this should not be the end of Xiumen.
If you want to travel through this section of the road, you can only walk sideways in many places. Of course, you can also swim through the underground river. But there is one most important problem. We don’t know how long this stalagmite forest is.
.
"Keep walking." Shen Yuan said.
"etc."
Shale said: "Grandpa Shen, these stalagmites are too dense, could they be traps? If we encounter something like a human stick inside, we will not be able to use it and will be very passive."
"Yes, a gun is useless here, it might as well be a knife." Wu Zijin added.
"Even if it's a trap, we have to leave."
Shen Yuan was very determined, "It took so much effort to find this place, why should we turn back now?"
It is indeed impossible to look back. In this team, the person who cared least about me was originally me. My thoughts were very simple and pure, just for Chen Qiuhong's money. But now the most innocent person is probably Wu Zijin.
Shen Yuan, Mao Tianlin, Sha Le, and Wu Zipei all have their own goals. After knowing that this eternal life palace is related to me, I can't seem to stay out of it.
I said: "You have to leave, but you also have to see how to leave. If you rush in hastily, don't lose your life."
Shen Yuan said: "Master Qi will go in front, Lezi will be in third place. Boss Ye, if you walk between Master Qi and Lezi, there should be no problem with your safety. Zijin will follow Lezi behind, and I will be the one behind."
There was no arrangement for Xue Yue's position. In fact, there was no need to arrange it. Xue Yue still squatted on Mao Tianlin's shoulder.
I am very satisfied with this arrangement. In the front is Mao Tianlin, who has a perverted kung fu, and in the back is Sha Le. Although his kung fu is not as strong as Mao Tianlin, he is definitely better than Shen Yuan, and his marksmanship is top-notch. My safety is indeed guaranteed.
The biggest guarantee, but this arrangement makes me feel like a waste. Sigh... Waste is waste, life is the most important thing. Not to mention the Taiyan Monument, the ancient relics in my backpack are worth a lot.
A sum of money, I don’t want to spend a dime on it, but I will finish it by myself. This kind of pain is even uncomfortable for a ghost.
