Chapter 38: A City
Just opened the walkie-talkie, suddenly came ZiZiZiZiZi sound, let at this moment just relaxed down we startled, can with this side of the walkie-talkie contact. Definitely is just before we step to arrive at that rope bridge opposite the old Huang those people, big back head is the old Huang's men, he seems to be more concerned about the death of those people than the old Huang, grabbed the walkie-talkie eagerly called: "Shunyi, Shunyi is it you?"
But the walkie-talkie at this time the voice is still the kind of hearing makes people very uncomfortable electric current sound, and there is no one's voice comes, this feeling is not a good feeling, no one likes this kind of cluelessness feeling, the big back head is still shouting at the walkie-talkie, but the voice remains the same.
"They're the ones with the flashlights, let's see what's in this citadel first." Huang Lao said, we are now at the city gates, the surrounding is quite bright by our flashlights, but what is in the gates until now we do not know.
Huang Lao's people are very well equipped, someone to the city on a flare, and the situation in front of us has not yet let a person surprised, before seeing the city gate, although there is a feeling that this is like an ancient city, but no one really thought that the White Lotus Sect can then build a real city under the ground, which is completely unnecessary.
But what did we see? It was a city, the flares showed us inns, we saw wine shops, and it was as if it was a city built in imitation of ancient times, except for the fact that there were no people here.
"My goodness, such a masterstroke. Is this a tomb, or what?" Lei Zi chimed in beside me.
Sparing the fact that Huang Lao's men were a group of experienced grave robbers, and sparing the fact that I had experienced many big scenes, but I still couldn't believe that what I was seeing in front of me was real, I couldn't help but ask Mr. Zhai, "Do you think what we're seeing right now is a hallucination, is it similar to a mirage?"
Mr. Zhai smiled bitterly and said, "San two brothers, you feel that, by now, this place is still subject to what I can count?" -Think about it, Mr. Zhai as Huang Lao's top think-tank is not false, but as far as I know people, he is not considered to be what very powerful masters, the situation in this beyond his control is also normal.
"Since we've come here, we'll be at peace, since we've all come here." Elder Huang said as he stood up, turning on a flashlight and holding a gun tightly in one hand. After saying that, he swept and walked at the same time, this is a city and at the same time a ghost city, hidden underground for so many years, how can there be no living presence in here.
It would be a lie to say that we are not curious about what is inside these restaurants and whatnot, we just turn around inside, even without a room we open it and look at it, even if it is underground, there is still a lot of dust and odor in here, but there is no one, and I even wondered if I could find a living guest in the inn? Could this be another Peach Blossom Garden with a group of reclusive people in it?
But no, in that intercom, still intermittent murmurs appeared, still no one's voice. We turned a few empty houses, no one was inside, not even footprints appeared. I feel disappointed, I think even if we find some footprints can also ah, at least prove that we are now coming to this place, is Lin Bachan and Fatty they came, I do not believe that such an underground castle appeared in front of their eyes, they will not feel curious to Fatty's temperament, and will even run to sit there, to a small two on the bar?
No, none of them, until now, I have not even found traces of Lin Bachan and Fatty Liu, not to mention Song Xiaoguang, who is even more mysterious than them, and after we finished strolling through the front row of buildings, we found a plaque, and on the plaque was attached to a piece of paper, which was written with the same ancient script as in the stone monument in front of the bridge, and wanted to see this, surely we need to have that big back to come.
The handwriting for a long time, become very blurred, the big back in this similar to the ancient open list of notices to see a full half an hour, only to say: "a lot of can not see clearly, and the ancients of the text is more obscure roundabout, but the general idea to understand, this is a person in the note left behind after the departure, said that this was originally the most core of White Lotus Sect, the core disciples of the eight branches of the branch every three years to come here to Worship the old ancestor, but from a certain year, to worship the old ancestor of the people began to disappear, is to come here after, can no longer be found, and after that, every three years a pilgrimage are the same, all over the world corners can not be found in the disappearance of the disciples of the trail, and the old ancestor from the year after, began in the altar of the retreat, and later found that in fact, those who are the core of the disappearance of the disciples, is in the altar, that is, originally the core disciples of the White Lotus Sect, is in the altar, is not the core disciples of the White Lotus Sect, is the core disciples of the White Lotus Sect. was at the General Altar, that is, those who were originally thought to have disappeared after paying homage to the Old Ancestor, in fact never came out since paying homage to the Old Ancestor."
"The descendant of the White Lotus Sect Black Lotus Guo Zhongyong, in order not to disturb the old ancestor's seclusion, specially sealed this place, if the descendant of the White Lotus Sect seeks to come here, do not come close to the general altar, nine deaths and one life in the game, remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember to remember." –This is the last sentence in this list, the big back must know something about me, and about my great-grandfather Guo Zhongyong. That's why he looked at me with a very strange look in his eyes when he said this.
Look at me not only big back head one, even I myself are scratching my head, according to this notice is that, this was originally a building on the ground, living in the White Lotus Sect of the old ancestors, but because of the disappearance of those core disciples, so my great-grandfather gave this place according to the format of the ancient tombs, the whole city was buried, built in the ground. And he warned the descendants not to come here in the future, much less near the main altar.
"Guo Zhongyong, Guo Zhongyong." Elder Huang inexplicably began to have a seizure again, he clapped his hands and said, "It seems that what was on the mural before was correct, that mural, in fact, was Guo Zhongyong warning people of his little discovery, the old ancestor of the White Lotus Sect, it was the death of the core children in exchange for his own rebirth, the mural, it should have been done after sealing up the city, Guo Zhongyong had made a discovery at that time, but he didn't dare to disobey the White Lotus Sect's Old Ancestor, and could only bring it up in a subtle way." Huang Lao said.
As soon as the word rebirth was mentioned, Huang Lao was very excited, and as soon as Guo Zhongyong was mentioned, I was also a bit hot, Guo Zhongyong of the Black Lotus, before he took that step of putting the nation's righteousness first, had always been the White Lotus Sect's carrying figure in the mundane world apart from the Old Ancestor. He was a legendary figure, so whenever something about him came up, it excited me abnormally.
"Go, go to the general altar!" Elder Huang had almost gone crazy.
After they started, I stood still, each of them could ignore my great grandfather's warning, but I couldn't, because this was my family, from the previous series of things can be seen, how powerful this old ancestor of mine, that planted countless elites to let people "furnace to raise a hundred scriptures" of the general altar, I don't want to go.
"You do not go?" Huang Lao looked at me and said, when he spoke, the threatening meaning was very obvious, while those of his men, almost at the same time, gripped the gun, I laughed bitterly, heck, when it comes to this place, do I not want to go also have to go, want to go also have to go?
"Let's go Brother San Liang, it's all here." Lei Zi said, as he said he kept winking at me, as if he was telling me that a good man is not a good man, I had no choice but to follow Huang Lao's lead, and continue to search for the whereabouts of the General Altar in this underground ancient city.
Now we already know that the Nine Mile Mountain is the mountain responsible for covering up this city, this mountain itself is not big, then this city built with a gate, is definitely not big enough, the more we walk, the closer we get to the core of the hinterland.
And I, the more we walked, the more I didn't want to go, I sensed the danger, a kind of danger that made me feel a huge pressure, it's not my sixth sense at work, but that half of the jade pendant in my neck, as I slowly approached the hinterland, became hot.
This half of the jade pendant, in fact, in many times are in a state of sleep, only in my life-threatening times, will come to the aid.
And just at this time, suddenly there were footsteps coming from the distance, the sudden appearance of footsteps made us all stop in our tracks, flashlights all shone in unison in the direction where the footsteps came from, until a bloody figure appeared in our line of sight.
It was a bloody man, running.
"Shoot!" Huang Lao shouted nervously, followed by dense gunfire, while the man, who was dodging left and right amidst the gunfire, was still rolling around on the ground, which I hadn't seen before, and while rolling around I realized that the rolling figure was a bit familiar.
"All fucking stop stop! That man is Fatty Liu!" I shouted!
The figure on the ground that rolled around like a ball is Fatty Liu, isn't it?
