Chapter 195 Night Chat
“I thought it was one-sided.”
Hu Bayi is also a person who has led soldiers and knows the importance of emotions.
When Chen Ziyan explained the reason, he immediately understood it.
Nowadays, the morale of the militiamen is visibly low because of this accident, and Chen Ziyan's measure can greatly improve morale as long as no accidents occur.
This alone is enough.
After work resumed, facts also proved that Chen Ziyan’s seemingly perfunctory measures had indeed good results.
Although the militiamen were a little bit like everyone when they were doing things, they have basically recovered on the whole.
But this is also human nature.
In the final analysis, they can only be regarded as reserve forces. It is already very good to have such psychological quality.
Of course, in allowing them to regain their composure so quickly, the companions with guns on guard also played a huge role in it.
It may be that the gunfire just now frightened away the nearby black-faced cockroaches, or it may be due to other reasons. In short, the excavation work did not encounter another black-faced cockroach until the evening. Cockroach.
But no matter how you look at it, it can be considered a good thing.
Not to mention that the progress of the project has not been hindered, the impact of the previous episode has also been eliminated by time, and has completely turned into a topic for small talk.
After a whole day of non-stop digging, they went tens of meters underground, almost reaching the bottom of the hillside, not far from their intended target.
The ability to achieve such remarkable results is actually due to the intricate underground passages here.
After digging the first underground passage, they began to dig other passages from time to time. Often, a shovel fell down and directly poked a dark gap, which greatly saved time.
If you really count it strictly, the existence of these underground passages has at least reduced the amount of work by half.
Considering the hidden danger underground and the tiring day, they did not plan to work overnight.
Before night fell completely, we returned to the nearby campsite and gathered around the campfire in small groups, chatting and waiting for tonight’s dinner.
Chen Ziyan and his small group are no exception, but they make their own food instead of making unified arrangements like others.
This is not because he wants to be special or make a fuss, but because of Chen Ziyan's usual vigilance.
Chen Ziyan is very conflicted now. He believes in the police and militiamen who believe in the source, but also distrusts them.
This may sound complicated, but it’s easy to explain.
To put it simply, he believed in the public security and militia groups, but he could not believe everyone present.
Because they were busy coming to support, everyone was traveling lightly. Except for necessary tools and weapons, they did not carry any other supplies.
Whether it was the tent they rested in at night or the delicious food, they were all delivered by people from outside in the afternoon.
Chen Ziyan didn’t know if all the people who wanted to plot against him had followed him, but he felt that if he thought about it in his shoes, he would never play all the cards directly and should stay in the county. Having reliable manpower will help you respond even if an accident occurs.
After all, in this industry, if you don’t understand what it means to think about defeat before winning, you will definitely not survive long.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan had to be wary of someone taking the wrong approach and attacking him through food and other aspects.
If he hadn't received the Xiling inheritance, he might not have thought of this aspect, because he himself didn't know much about it.
But unfortunately, thanks to the Xiling inheritance, Chen Ziyan knows a lot now.
Especially some of the medical knowledge recorded in the inheritance was left by a medical senior who joined Xiling. In addition to basic knowledge and emergency treatment methods, there are also unique skills that the senior has painstakingly studied all his life. ——Invisible poison.
The so-called invisible poison does not mean that there is really a kind of poison that is invisible and has no quality, but it means that it is difficult to see the traces of man-made poison.
This point is actually very similar to the study of restraint in moving mountains. The only difference is that restraint is the study of the mutual development of all things, while this senior’s main research direction is mainly to study alternative combinations of food and medicinal materials. , can be attributed to the category of mutual growth of all things.
Through pharmacology and medicinal properties, this medical senior discovered that many seemingly unrelated, even beneficial and harmless things to the human body would produce unique toxins when taken at the same time.
And this is the so-called invisible poison.
Chen Ziyan is not worried that someone will use this method to deal with him. Just kidding, this is also a very profound technical job, okay!
His main concern is that possible enemies will take desperate risks for the sake of the people trapped underground and attack them all directly through food.
But it would be unrealistic for everyone to eat fast food. Chen Ziyan could only eat alone while waiting for others.
In this way, even if the opponent is really bold, they can still deal with it as long as they don't get tricked.
And Chen Ziyan's actions are also releasing an attitude to the people who may exist secretly, that is -
It is useless to take risks!
Because of him, he is very alert.
When Chen Ziyan thought of this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking more and more now, and he also preferred to include some implicit reminders when doing things, which was very different from his previous behavior style.
Wang Kaixuan was blowing smoke rings out of boredom when he accidentally saw Chen Ziyan's frown and asked curiously: "Master Chen, what are you thinking about?"
He, Wang, always likes to help people solve their problems. If you have anything difficult to do, tell me.
Hearing Wang Kaixuan's sudden inquiry, the others also stopped talking and focused on Chen Ziyan.
Needless to say, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were already used to listening to Chen Ziyan. Even Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian subconsciously began to give priority to Chen Ziyan during their interactions during this period.
So after hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, they all wanted to know if Chen Ziyan had any other ideas.
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan slowly relaxed his brows and said with some emotion: "It's nothing, I just feel that I have changed a bit recently, and I don't feel like me anymore."
He didn't hide it, but he also He didn’t go into details, he just said this briefly.
This is not a shameful thing, and Chen Ziyan also wants to hear everyone’s opinions.
After all, the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders.
"What's this?" Wang Kaixuan shook the ashes, took out a cigarette and threw it to Chen Ziyan, and said with a smile: "How do you say that, never change from the original, don't worry about you What will it become? It’s still you. Could it be that you still have horns on your head and a tail on your back?”
Wang Kaixuan felt that Chen Ziyan was a Wenqing prisoner.
To put it simply, it means leisure.
As soon as Hu Ba heard what he said, he quietly glared at this guy: How can you talk!
He has horns and a tail, so he can’t be a human being.
Then he looked at Chen Ziyan and expressed his thoughts: "This should be because the things he encountered were too large and his identity changed too quickly."
"When I suddenly changed from a major to a non-commissioned officer, I felt like I was a different person. Once I got used to it, I no longer felt that way. I am still the same person, but my words and actions are more in line with my position. "
Hu Bayi felt that the core of Chen Ziyan's problem was the issue of identity change, so he decisively used himself as an example.
Chen Ziyan nodded slightly. Although these words are not very appropriate, they are somewhat reasonable.
Then, he turned his attention to Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian, wanting to hear what these two would say.
Brainstorm.
Shirley Yang met Chen Ziyan's gaze. After thinking for a while, she expressed her opinion: "I think Mr. Hu said a lot. Your current situation is probably a problem of self-perception. In layman's terms, you are talking and doing things. The template has been automatically converted into what it should be, but you haven't understood this in your heart, so you will feel confused when you are free."
"I suggest you pray, this way. It can comfort the restless soul.”
After expressing her opinion, Shirley Yang tried to persuade Chen Ziyan about the Virgin Mary, and said that she could teach a full set of courses. Charge any fees.
Looking at Shirley Yang's serious expression, Chen Ziyan couldn't resist his good intentions. Anyway, he had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply recited a few prayers in the same way.
Unfortunately, it turns out that it has no effect.
"It seems that the Holy Mother has no time to cleanse my heart." After joking to himself, Chen Ziyan retracted his faith decisively.
No way, his faith is so flexible.
I'll trust you when it works. If it doesn't, I'm sorry. You can go wherever you like.
Seeing this operation, Shirley Yang was speechless for a while, and she secretly regretted Amway Chen Ziyan. Who are these people!
You finally finished your prayer!
Looking at this girl's angry little expression, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
This woman is surprisingly easy to deceive.
As we all know, they worship their ancestors, okay?
It's okay to hang out at other people's houses if you have nothing to do, but when you're done wandering around, you have to go home.
But if you want them to change their families, that's something they don't even want to think about.
Of course, if the effect is good, you can also mention it when you offer the incense to the ancestor, so that the ancestor can try it if he has time.
Chen Ziyan was even thinking about whether he should sum it up with "very smooth" when mentioning it, so that the ancestor would be very interested.
It can be regarded as a disguised form of cultural exchange, contributing my own share.
Just when Chen Ziyan was wondering whether he should do this the next time he burned incense, Ding Sitian's long words brought him back to reality.
"Shirley, please don't waste your efforts. One by one, they can believe in their ancestors, but if they believe in any gods, it is impossible. Believe it or not, if they find the Virgin Mary's tomb tomorrow, they can move it overnight. Empty.”
After all, Shirley Yang’s thinking mode is deeply influenced by the West, so she can’t understand what Chen Ziyan’s performance represents.
Ding Ding Sitian has a good background and knows that including Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, they are the kind of masters who believe in themselves more than they believe in God.
So she immediately explained it to Shirley Yang. In order to make the explanation more vivid and concrete, she also specially brought in the guest appearance of the Virgin Mary.
It can be seen that she is also in the same category.
Anyone who is a little awed would not use the Virgin Mary’s tomb as an example.
Shirley Yang: ...
She felt that she needed to take a good rest, why are these people like this.
Now she wanted to ask the group of people who came to China to preach, how they persisted.
Ding Sitian didn’t think too much when she said it. After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her words seemed inappropriate, so she planned to change the topic appropriately, otherwise her new friends would definitely feel uncomfortable. Awkward.
After thinking about it, she set her target on Chen Ziyan, and planned to continue the topic again, so she said to him: "Have you ever thought that the change in you may not be because your behavior pattern has become more mature? Is it because you subconsciously released your true nature?"
The expression on her face when she spoke seemed to be saying: My friend, stop pretending, I have seen through everything.
“Huh?”
Chen Ziyan was a little speechless. He felt that his persona of a handsome young master had been provoked and might very well collapse. Since then, there has been no return in the direction of the old silver coin.
Just when he wanted to refute, Wang Kaixuan spoke first: "How can this be regarded as revealing his true nature? Our Mr. Chen has always been so insidious... Ahem, I was almost led astray. , make a decision and then act?”
This guy almost said that he was bald, but luckily he changed his tune in time.
Chen Ziyan said helplessly: "What kind of ghost image do I have in your minds!"
If he hadn't been familiar enough, he would have thought that this was a black fan hired by his opponent to do this specially. Come to attack your fragile soul.
“Very decent,” Wang Kaixuan said seriously: “This is not contradictory at all. Then who hasn’t said it before? There are many bad people these days, and they have reached a new level of badness. If a decent person wants to do something If the evil does not suppress the good, then it is better not to think that it is worse than them."
After finishing speaking, maybe because he was afraid that everyone would not understand what he meant, he specifically added: "Don't misunderstand, these two. A bad thing is two different things. Didn't Master Confucius say that one should retaliate directly? This is not what the translation means. ”
The people present looked at each other, and all looked at Wang Kaixuan strangely.
One thing to say, in their opinion, Fatty’s performance was definitely extraordinary.
But don’t say it yet, it makes sense.
Wang Kaixuan was not embarrassed at all when facing the gazes of everyone.
He felt from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with what he said, not at all.
"Okay, Fatty, you are right, but don't go on."
Chen Ziyan took a puff of his cigarette helplessly, not wanting to discuss this topic any more.
Although everything sounded reasonable, he always felt that in the end these two people took the opportunity to harm him.
Unfortunately, there is insufficient evidence.
Wang Kaixuan laughed when he heard this, rolled his eyes mischievously, and asked tentatively: "We can't sleep so early, why don't we wait for a while to finish eating? How about taking a walk around the ancient tomb as a walk after dinner?”
In the afternoon, he specifically asked Hu Bayi to find out that if nothing unexpected happened, there would be a passage leading to the tomb in the Fish Bone Temple.
So I have been thinking about this for a long time. Now that the time is more suitable, I took advantage of the situation and said it.
Not to mention, several other people were really moved by Wang Kaixuan's seemingly unreasonable proposal.
Needless to say, Hu Bayi believed in the rooster's crow and the lanterns went out without touching the gold. He thought it would be a good idea to go there and have a look when he had time. It was better than going there in broad daylight.
Ding Sitian felt that there might be records about the black-faced turtle in the tomb, which could help them deal with it better.
As for Shirley Yang, she was purely curious.
Due to the changes in the development of things, she has not returned home since returning from the desert, so she still doesn’t know about the Dragon Bone Book. At this time, she is in the stage of cultivating a tacit understanding with the team.
Now that I have encountered something new, I won’t miss it if I can try it.
As for saying this is tomb robbing, no, this is an investigation!
Shirley Yang resisted tomb robbing, and she had persuaded others many times in the original plot, but could it be the same as now?
It can be said that it is completely different.
This is a formal action with official certification!
In fact, it can be seen from the trip to the South China Sea in the original plot that Shirley Yang only resisted illegal tomb robbing, and she was very happy to participate in orthodox exploration activities.
Although everyone looked very interested, Chen Ziyan, as the leader, refused without hesitation: "No!"
He said these two words simply and neatly.
It can be said that the tone can be considered decisive.
Subsequently, without waiting for anyone else to ask, Chen Ziyan took the initiative and said: "The situation of the ancient tombs underground is unknown. It is not suitable for us to go down rashly now. At least until the matter at hand is settled, we can't let this matter go. I thought about it.”
Chen Ziyan knew what was going on in the ancient tomb and how to crack the mechanism inside.
But because of this, he refused to go down now. Don’t forget that the Wushuang Ghost is still inside and has awakened the Ghost Tomb. If they go down now, they will definitely fall into the Ghost Tomb.
If you want to come out at that time, you must crack the ghost tomb that currently covers the entire tomb, and this will release the people who were previously trapped inside.
This will undoubtedly affect their work and even cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
So it’s better to just trap them like this, wait until the situation is completely dealt with here, and then go and clear the ghost tomb and give the remaining people a place to catch turtles in a jar.
Wouldn’t it be better this way? ,
“Alas.”
Wang Kaixuan couldn’t help but sigh when he heard this.
The whole person shrank instantly, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Others did not have such a big reaction. For them, it was okay to go down, and it was equally okay not to go down.
What's more, you can't escape from this tomb right there, and it will be the same no matter when you go down.
Hu Bayi glanced at Wang Kaixuan and knew that the fat man would be fine in a while, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he turned to look at Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, how much do you know about this tomb? ?”
He had actually wanted to ask this for a long time, but he just couldn’t find the right opportunity.
Almost everyone present knew that Chen Ziyan knew a lot about this place, but to what extent was unknown.
