Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and roughly recounted what happened that day by the Xiangjiang River.
After hearing this, Hao Xie couldn't help but look at Zhang Qilin in astonishment and said, "It's a coincidence! My God, Brother Zhang Hao actually has such great abilities! He used a blind trick in front of thousands of people to successfully escape from trouble! This..."
Zhang Qilin wiped the black gold ancient sword at this time, and then said: "I was also shocked! When I saw those sinister things, I thought I would never come back. But I didn't expect that all this was expected by the shopkeeper, and he had already Be prepared. Shopkeeper Zhang... is unfathomable!”
Haoxie squinted his eyes, thought thoughtfully, then shook his head and said: "Hey... Fortunately, Brother Zhang Hao has expected everything. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble this time. But I still I'm very confused, how did the undercover come to us for no reason? We didn't use the official position of Zhengqin, and we didn't attract the undercover. "< br>
Zhang Qilin stared out the window blankly. He was thinking about this issue when he left Tanzhou.
This time the underworld came to him, it was obvious that they were well prepared, and they seemed to know that they were the ones pretending to be fourth-grade Zhengqin.
But it seemed that he wasn't very sure, otherwise he wouldn't have just called two undercover men to test him at the beginning.
After a while, Zhang Qilin shook his head and said: "I don't know. It seems that Yin Chai's posture this time has been well prepared. Maybe some of us were caught by Yin Chai when we were using the fourth-grade Zhengqin official position, so they came to us. . The shopkeeper said early on that powerful ghosts are not so easy to deceive.”
After saying that, Hao Xie seemed to understand something.
Several of them have the rank of Fourth-Rank Zhengqin, but he has never used it. Zhang Hao has used it countless times and has become very good at it, and his level of strength is also there. If he wants to say that he is a real Fourth-Rank Zhengqin, he probably doesn't. People believe him to be false.
And because Zhang Qilin pretended to be like the last time he used the official seal of the Fourth Grade Zhengqin, there were no surprises.
Could it be...
Hao Xie gave a wry smile and then said with a smile: "I guess it's probably Fatty who exposed his secrets when he was using it. He is usually arrogant. Forget it, if it's one of us who has the problem, then it'll be fine. I'm just worried if It's not the people in our inn who caused trouble. Then we will be in a lot more danger when we go on missions. Now that I understand it, I will go back to sleep."
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and did not go to see Hao Xie away.
On the other side, Zhang Hao slowly raised the corners of his mouth while looking at the soul-suppressing tower in his room.
"This thing is quite easy to use. But the next step is the trouble. If other undercover agents come to greet me every few days like this Zhao Li, my business will not be able to continue. It seems that it needs to be handled properly. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold snort came from the soul-suppressing tower: "Humph! If you catch me, people from the underworld will find this place sooner or later. Then you will wait for death! So I advise you to let me go. It’s better for all of us to just pretend we haven’t been here today.”
Zhang Hao raised the corner of his mouth, picked up a brush and drew a spell on the yellow paper, and then said lightly: "Let you go? Doesn't that mean directly telling you that I am pretending to be a fourth-grade Zhengqin, and I am also the one who caught your seventh grade?" Are you going to treat me like a normal person? Do you think I’m easy to deceive?”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao pasted the talisman on the soul-suppressing tower and continued: "You have been suppressed here, so just stay here quietly for a few days."
At the same time, in the cave under the Miaojiang Canyon.
Huo Xiuer and the archaeological team members were walking mechanically, exhausted.
They didn't know how far they had walked, they only knew that all their strength was almost exhausted.
In addition, there was no light in the cave, so a few people just held torches and explored aimlessly inside.
When several people's mobile phones ran out of battery, they completely lost the concept of time.
Even if someone wears a watch and the hour hand points to one o'clock, they don't know whether it is one o'clock in the afternoon or one o'clock in the morning.
"Miss Huo, if there wasn't the Gu Bell your friend mentioned here, wouldn't we all be trapped here?" an archaeological team member asked tiredly.
"Yeah, it feels like I've been walking for a long time! If this continues, I don't know... ugh." Another archaeological team member also complained.
"Why is this cave so deep?" Another archaeological team member asked in confusion.
"It's not too deep, but there are a lot of forks. When we came here, we encountered a total of seventeen forks. Now we have passed fourteen and there are still three forks left. We can walk through all of this cave. Huo Xiuer replied.
"I feel like I have no strength left!" an archaeological team member said weakly.
At this time, Huo Xiuer couldn't help but glance at the archaeological team under the firelight, and then shook her head silently.
Their mobile phones have run out of battery, and it is impossible to contact Hao Xie now.
However, Huo Xiuer firmly believed in what Hao Xie said, there must be something in this cave.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many forks in the road?
And looking at the shape of the caves inside, it is obvious that these caves are not naturally formed, but dug out by people.
So Huo Xiuer said firmly at this time: "Everyone, if you persist, we will definitely find the Gu clock!"
"Don't be discouraged."
"There are dense caves here. As a member of the archaeological team, I think you have noticed the problem."
"Excavation marks on these walls indicate that these caves were dug by humans."
"Since it is man-made, it must have left some clues."
"Now we only have three forked roads left to explore, and I feel that the answer is not far from us."
Professor Jin couldn't help but look at Huo Xiu'er in confusion at this moment, and began to question whether Hao Xie's words were true, so he asked:
"Xiao Huo, what should you do if you still can't find the Gu clock that your friend mentioned after going through these dozens of forked roads?"
Huo Xiuer glanced at Professor Jin, barely suppressed her anger, and asked:
"Professor Jin, what do you mean?"
Professor Jin sighed and continued:
"I just think that your friend may just happen to know about the death worm and guess something right."
"Maybe he doesn't know much about Kuiliang's Tomb, otherwise, we should have gone out by now."
"But I'm not blaming. I'm just thinking that if I really can't get out, I might as well dedicate my life to archaeology and look for the door of Kuiliang's tomb. Even if I die, I can take a look at Kuiliang's tomb. His true face!”
As soon as Professor Jin finished speaking, other archaeological team members turned to stare at him.
"Professor Jin, you have lived for more than sixty years. Of course you feel that death does not matter, but we do not want to follow you to death!"
"Yes, and let me remind you, if you really find a way out, don't become a burden to us! When you came down from the cliff before, you also attracted death worms. If this cave was not too small, they would If we can’t get in, we will suffer!”
"That's right, my archaeological attainments are not very high, but my ability to deceive people is quite good."
"."
At this moment, everyone's hearts are filled with nameless anger, after all, they are trapped here.
If you go out, you will face the risk of being eaten by death worms. The root cause of all this lies in the error of information.
Professor Jin aroused public outrage at this time, and naturally everyone did not give him a good look.
Professor Jin also wisely closed his mouth and stopped making any sound.
Just when everyone felt that their physical strength had reached the limit, someone suddenly discovered that under the weak firelight, a huge shadow appeared not far ahead.
"Look!" An archaeological team member pointed at the shadow in front of him and said in surprise.
"There seems to be something ahead!"
After hearing the news, the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be relieved a lot, and everyone suddenly became energetic, so they hurriedly ran closer to take a look.
As a result, they discovered that at the end of this fork in the road, there was a huge bronze bell. The surface of the bronze bell is engraved with countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the Five Poison Sacred Treasures.
At the same time, there were densely written words engraved on the surface of the bronze bell, but no one here knew the words on the bronze bell, so someone looked at Professor Jin and asked:
"Professor Jin, do you recognize the writing on this?"
Professor Jin shook his head and said that he had never seen it before. He said:
"Kui Liang is not a big country. Although the existence of this country has been mentioned in history, there is no information about this country!"
"So I don't know much about Kuiliang's writing."
"I know a few of the words, but with so many words put together, I don't know."
For a moment, everyone shook their heads helplessly, and suddenly someone asked:
"By the way, Huo Xiuer, there is so little information about Kuiliang Kingdom, why is your friend so familiar with Kuiliang's tomb?"
"Do you even know about things like Gu clock?"
Huo Xiuer also shook her head, thinking that she hadn't seen him for several years, and no one knew what he was doing now.
To be honest, she was shocked when Hao Xie told her about Kuiliang's tomb.
Shocked that Hao Xie knew so much!
"I don't know. He has never been here, but he knows it well. To be honest, I want to ask him what's going on!" Huo Xiuer explained, "But let's not worry about it now."
"Let's first think about whether this bell is a Gu bell!"
At this time, the members of the archaeological team looked at the surface of the bronze bell, especially the so many poisonous snakes and scorpions engraved on it, and couldn't help but said doubtfully: "Miss Huo, since your friend said that bell is a poison bell, then it should be the same as a poison bell. Related.”
"This bell has so many poisons that appear only when Miao Jiang practices Gu. It should be the Gu bell, right?"
"But what does the charm on this clock mean?"
At this time, everyone had noticed a yellow talisman paper stuck on the Gu clock, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"My friend said that there was once a walking master who did some tricks because he saw the dangers of Kuiliang's tomb."
"No one can enter Kuiliang's tomb again unless it's Mr. Footman."
"This talisman looks like the kind of talisman used to suppress ghosts in ancient times."
"I think these are the steps made by the walking master!"
"If you think so, then this bell should be a Gu bell!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in their eyes, looking at Gu Zhong as if they saw hope.
Someone even knocked the Gu bell excitedly, making a dull and melodious sound.
"When"
However, as soon as the Gu bell sounded, everyone frowned and slowly felt an uncomfortable feeling in their bodies.
It's as if the body is crawling with bugs, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Ah! It's so itchy. Damn it, what's going on with this bell? I feel like I'm covered in bugs after hearing this sound!"
"Me too, is this why it's called Gu Zhong?"
"It seems that there is no mistake this time. Great, we have a chance to go out!"
"In ancient times, did the people of Kuiliang Kingdom use this thing to tame death worms?"
"Holy shit, if I kept hearing this voice, I could be fucking tamed too!"
"This is amazing, but how can this thing be transported outside? It looks like it weighs one or two thousand kilograms!"
"Yeah, we can't leave anyone here to ring the bell, right?"
Huo Xiuer couldn't help but frown at this time. If the bell was rung here, this cave would become an amplified speaker, which could indeed spread the sound outside.
But everyone wants to go out, and no one can stay here to ring the bell!
"Hey, there seems to be something under this Gu clock!" Someone suddenly said.
Because the bottom of the Gu Bell is not flat, but corrugated.
Therefore, you can see the inside of the bronze bell through some gaps.
After hearing the sound at this time, everyone couldn't help but look under the Gu Bell in confusion.
Someone even stuck a torch inside and used the screen of his mobile phone as a mirror to see what was inside the bell.
As a result, someone saw what seemed to be a human figure appearing inside the bronze bell.
"There seems to be someone locked inside this clock!"
"Huh? Man!"
"No way, who would put people in the Gu clock?"
"Could it be the funeral culture of their Kuiliang country?"
"Stop making trouble, isn't this funeral culture too nonsense?"
"Why don't you lay it down and take a look?"
"Stop making trouble, how can you stand up if you put it down? It weighs one or two thousand kilograms!"
"If you tip it down, you can let it roll to the entrance of the cave!"
"Even if you roll to the entrance of the cave, no one will be able to stay and ring the bell!"
For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma, but what was more curious was why there was a corpse under the Gu clock!
"Could it be possible?" Huo Xiuer frowned at this moment, looking at Gu Zhong and said thoughtfully, "could this be the method of the walking master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in the archaeological team looked at Huo Xiuer and began to think about it in their minds.
Walking master.
corpse.
There does seem to be some connection between the two!
Huo Xiuer looked intently at the talisman on the Gu clock, then walked over and took off the talisman. (End of chapter)
