End of Chapter 246
After chatting with Captain Lin for a while and briefly exchanging information, Chen Ziyan and the others returned to their tents.
After almost an hour, everyone gathered together again after washing up.
When Chen Ziyan saw Wang Kaixuan holding a large backpack, he knew that it contained the scented jade, and couldn't help but said: "Fat man, there is no need to carry it with you, right?"
Those who obey orders Xiao Xiangu's experimental subjects have always been on guard underground in the camp, so no one can easily steal their things.
Wang Kaixuan also knew this, but he still shook his head: "This is not possible. There are many people in this place, so it is more secure to carry it with you."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan stopped talking. Say more, if what Captain Lin said is correct, their affairs here will soon come to an end. If Wang Kaixuan is willing to take it, let him take it.
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking like this, Hu Bayi started talking about it: "Mr. Chen, just now Captain Lin said that they have cleaned up the remaining scattered black cockroaches in the ground in the past three days. It’s almost done. Are we almost done with this job?”
He feels a little confused now, not because of fatigue, but because the things he encountered this time are really beyond the scope of his understanding.
Especially what happened in the second temple at the end, Hu Bayi racked his brains and couldn't figure out what kind of existence Sheng Ji was now.
Just from the fact that the other party met and reached an agreement with Chen Ziyan in a dream-like space, as well as the spider seal that appeared out of thin air, it is really difficult to believe that this woman from three thousand years ago still belongs to the category of human beings.
So I want to end things here quickly and go back and have a good rest.
"It should be almost the same. Even if the remaining black cockroaches are not completely eliminated, they are probably still close to ten." Chen Ziyan nodded.
Wang Kaixuan suddenly said: "No, Mr. Chen, I remember you said that these black cockroaches probably have a spider mother. We haven't even looked at the spider mother's face now. How can we Is it considered completely eliminated?"
He also suddenly remembered this and asked directly.
"Maybe... I have already met the spider mother."
Chen Ziyan was slightly silent after hearing this, and it took a long time before he said such a sentence under the gaze of several other people.
When he said this, Chen Ziyan's tone was not too sure, with some obvious hesitation.
Everyone present was not stupid and clearly heard the meaning of his words. Chen Ziyan used 'I' instead of 'we'. This alone was enough to reveal what he was expressing.
Obviously, he suspected that the spider mother was Sheng Ji.
Shirley Yang wondered: "If you say so, then why did she eliminate all those giant black clams?"
Based on her understanding of creatures, this is somewhat unreasonable.
Ding Sitian said: "Because those black spiders are not important. Do you remember those blue-gray spiders we saw later?"
She said this with great certainty. It seemed that I know something.
Reminiscent of the special organization behind Ding Sitian, Chen Ziyan immediately guessed that she might have contacted the leader behind her while washing up just now, and thus learned some information.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan asked: "What's special about those spiders?"
Ding Sitian did not answer directly, but asked again: "I wonder if you know about mountain spiders?"
"Mountain spider?" Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "Is it the mountain spider recorded in "The New Book of the South"?"
He has heard many such stories, although it is impossible to retell them completely. , but some key points can still be remembered.
Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Old Hu, what is this mountain spider you are talking about?"
Hu Bayi recalled it and said: "The mountain spider is a monster recorded in the "New Book of the South". Some people say it is a mythical beast, a giant spider. It is said that the spider silk can stop bleeding."
"That's right." Ding Si nodded sweetly and said: "There are some records in our department's archives. The image of the mountain spider in it is very similar to those of blue-gray spiders, but the size is slightly different."
< br>In fact, she didn't take this seriously before. She just mentioned it when reporting the situation, but she didn't expect that it would attract the attention of the leader, and she later learned about it.
Hearing this answer, Chen Ziyan asked: "So... those spiders could be mountain spiders?"
He thought this was a bit impossible, although no one stipulated that there can only be one mountain spider. , but there is no reason for it to be so widespread.
And although those blue-gray spiders are much larger than ordinary ones, they are much worse than the mountain spiders in the records.
To say that those giant black clams are related to mountain spiders, this is more or less justified.
Wait a minute...
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that the mountain spider he saw was the giant black spider he saw?
You must know that "The New Book of the South" was compiled during the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the legends and allusions about mountain spiders, the character who appears is Pei Min, and this sword master was from the Tang Dynasty.
No matter which one of the two, they are both after Sheng Ji, so it makes perfect sense in terms of time.
Ding Sitian didn’t know what Chen Ziyan was thinking, so he continued: “It’s not certain yet, but according to the records in ancient books, it is certain that this spider is related to the mountain spider. "
Hu Bayi also thought of something at this time, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there are many secrets hidden in it that we don't know about!"
"Secrets, etc. Forget it, things here are about to come to an end, and there is no need for us to continue to stir up trouble." Chen Ziyan, who had figured out some of the issues, spoke up and stopped the topic.
It is an undeniable fact that this Longling Cave hides a huge secret, but this has nothing to do with them.
His only connection with this place and Sheng Ji now is the verbal agreement.
It is better to leave the rest of the matter to the departments behind Ding Sitian, and they will not get involved.
Let professionals do professional things.
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, the few people who originally wanted to say something stopped talking about this topic.
The topic of mountain spiders came to an abrupt end just like this.
Ding Sitian didn't say anything, but gave Chen Ziyan a meaningful look.
He said in his heart that what his leader said was indeed correct. It was really not easy for Mr. Chen to take the initiative to take charge of this matter.
However, she was not in a hurry. She believed that her leader would have a solution, and she would not need to intervene in the rest of the matter.
Anyway, the leader only told her to tell her about the mountain spider.
After a slight silence, Hu Bayi spoke again, looked at Chen Ziyan and said: "Master Chen, I plan to take the bones of Senior Jin Abacus back and find a place with good Feng Shui for proper burial."
He had been thinking about this idea for a long time, and saying it now was a way of notifying Chen Ziyan.
If it were just a stranger who met by chance, it would be the most benevolent thing to find a place to bury him in peace. But since he already knew that the corpse was his real elder, Hu Bayi's character must do it To perfection.
Chen Ziyan had no objection at all to this: "This is very good. When the time comes... you go and have a look around the capital, and we will take care of it for you as an elder."
He originally wanted to I said I wanted to see it in the capital, but thinking about the gradually expanding urban area in the future, I thought it would be better to place it further away.
It saves you from having to change places when you encounter demolition.
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he also volunteered and said: "Old Hu, let the fat man handle the things that I have to do at this time, and I will make sure that I can handle it for you." When it comes to other things, Wang Kaixuan may not be able to do it, but like this The thing just matched his expertise.
To put it bluntly, even Chen Ziyan cannot do better than him.
The topic was changed and everyone started talking about funerals.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. During these days, Chen Ziyan and the others led a team underground every day to search for any black-faced cockroaches.
There were some gains in the first two days. Every day I could find one or two black cockroaches huddled in some nooks and crannies.
But in the next few days, there was no harvest at all. It was obvious that this area had been completely cleaned up.
The basis for Chen Ziyan to make this judgment is that his reward has arrived.
Although his golden finger has no sense of existence, the judgment is still relatively accurate, so after receiving the reward, Chen Ziyan immediately announced that the settlement work was fully completed, and everyone will go back to their respective homes.
After they filled in the holes they dug, the militiamen and police officers who came to support them began to withdraw one after another.
In the end, only Chen Ziyan and others were left to carry out their 'archaeological' work here.
But they already knew that there was a semi-finished empty tomb below, so there was no work to do.
As for the giant bronze cauldron in the temple, Chen Ziyan thought about it again and again but never moved it.
Anyway, the owner is still here, so it doesn’t make sense for me to move the tripod home.
So after making a show of staying for two days, they took the piece of fragrant jade and the corpse of the golden abacus on their way back.
In comparison, it took longer to go back, mainly because of the corpse of Jin Abacus.
Wen Xiangyu is easy to say. From the outside, it looks like a stone, but the corpse is difficult to explain.
Because of this incident, a few more days passed before Chen Ziyan and others returned to the capital.
After several people returned to the capital, they dispersed and acted independently.
Ding Sitian needs to go back to report on her work and make arrangements for the next work.
Shirley Yang, on the other hand, wanted to see Professor Chen and then said she wanted to go home.
As for the reason, she didn't say, but Chen Ziyan thought that she must have thought of something and went back to get the equipment sealed by her grandfather.
In the end, only Chen Ziyan and the others were left in the group. Since there was nothing gained from this trip, they simply went home.
After all, they had been running around outside for so long, and they felt somewhat tired, so they wanted to go home and have a good rest.
“Master Chen, there’s something going on!”
But just as he reached the courtyard gate, Hu Bayi at the front reached out to stop the others, looked around warily, and said in a solemn tone.
Chen Ziyan immediately became alert. He looked past Hu Bayi towards the door, and immediately knew why Hu Bayi was acting like this.
I saw the door that was locked when they left. Although it was still closed now, the lock on it was missing.
This is their residence, and they are the only people who come here usually, but they have just returned from Qinling, and Yingzi and others are still in Xiangyin at this time, but the lock on the door is gone. Obviously What happened?
Wang Kaixuan was walking behind with Wen Xiangyu in his arms. He knew something was going on when he saw this, so he hung the backpack containing Wen Xiangyu on his chest and held the engineer shovel exposed in the backpack behind him with one hand. On the handle, ready to take action at any time.
Chen Ziyan looked at the closed door and motioned for Wushuang Ghost to come forward to check, silently thinking about who could have done this.
Logically speaking, the most likely ones should be those people from Liulichang, but he felt that people who could achieve that status would not be so irrational.
Some things can be done behind the scenes, but some things cannot be touched at all.
If they are not completely sure, they should not do such a thing. After all, there is a word called courtesy.
Compared with the vigilant people, Wushuang Ghost had no unnecessary emotions at all. After receiving Chen Ziyan’s order, Dang even strode forward and pressed his huge palm on the door. Just push hard towards the inside.
Creaking——
The sound of the door shaft turning was heard, and the door in front of Chen Ziyan and others moved in response, revealing the situation in the courtyard.
The expected mess did not appear. They saw an unexpected person sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, as well as several stern-looking women.
"Old Jin?"
"Master Jin?"
After Chen Ziyan and others saw the man clearly, they all shouted subconsciously.
They never expected that the big golden tooth that was supposed to be in Xiangyin would actually appear here.
"Hey! Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Fatty, you three are back!" Da Jinya also saw a few of them, and the smile on his face immediately became brighter, and he stood up happily. said.
"Lao Jin, why are you back? Are you alone?" Chen Ziyan asked straight to the point after walking into the courtyard gate.
While asking the question, his eyes were still looking around the yard, trying to see if anyone else was there.
Da Jinya chuckled: "Don't look at it, Master Chen. I will come back on my own this time."
Then he explained: "You also know that my foundation is all in these four-nine cities. In a short time Nothing happened yet, but things have become more complicated as time goes by, so I took the time to come back and take a look. "
That's true, but Chen Ziyan said that he was very doubtful.
With Da Jinya’s character, he can say this, but he really can’t do it.
He felt that there must be some external factors that caused Da Jinya to return to the capital early alone.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Ziyan looked at the women next to him.
Although he has no clear evidence yet, he guesses that it is probably because of these people that led Golden Tooth to do such a thing.
At this time, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also walked in. Wang Kaixuan muttered as he entered the door: "I said Lao Jin, this is not your style."
Obviously , he also didn’t believe in Big Gold Tooth’s words.
Big Jinya retorted: "I say, Fatty, you can't just open your mouth and come out with nonsense. I, Da Jinya, haven't always been like this."
"Hey!" Wang Kaixuan laughed strangely and said nothing, but his silence was better than his voice.
