Be a Deliveryman in the Six Realms - C79 Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice Festival.
As the lanterns lit up, the pedestrians surged forward like a tide.
Following what Miss Ji said, I brought Lao Wei and Shen Qu and snuck into the Yandi Mausoleum.
Tonight, Yandi Mausoleum was abnormally lively.
On the plaza, the nine stone cauldrons were arranged in three rows.
On the stairs in front of us, two rows of Priests are standing on left and right. His face was calm and silent.
On the staircase stood a white-bearded old man wearing ceremonial attire with a profound crown on his head.
He was the High Priest who was in charge of the sacrifice.
On the left hand side of the High Priest, there was a round table about half a meter tall. On the stage stood a red-brown firestone about five feet high. There was a large word “Flame” engraved on it.
Whoosh.
The High Priest waved his sleeve, and a ball of fire rose up from the ignition stone.
The two rows of sacrificial masters knelt down in unison, reverently closing their eyes and chanting the sacrificial curse.
The discussion of the surrounding commoners came to a halt.
One by one, all of them knelt down.
I frowned as I brought Lao Wei and Shen Qu to squat down. Under the cover of the crowd, they rushed towards the tomb.
He pressed down on the mechanism on the stone monument.
Crack. Crack.
The stone tablet moved away, revealing the hidden door.
The guards tonight were especially weak.
The Soaring Dragon did not want to expose this secret base, he would definitely transfer away most of the guards.
They followed the passageway and arrived at the palace.
In the huge palace, only the two stone sculptures guarding the main seat remained. There were also two Soaring Dragons who were guarding the iron gates of the water prison with seven-nine type submachine guns.
When they saw us, they immediately raised their guns and pointed them at us.
He did not answer and pulled the trigger.
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, dodge to the side.
I used the Hengping’s footwork and weaved through the bullets.
In next to no time, he had arrived in front of them.
His two palms shot out in unison, igniting the scarlet flames and burning them to ash.
He signalled to Lao Wei and Shen Qu, and with a wave of his hand, jumped through the iron door.
Flames condensed in the center of his palms and cut off the iron chains that were shackling Miss Ji’s hands.
The chain broke and a strange smell entered my nose.
I wrinkled my nose. “What smell?”
Miss Ji took a whiff and shook his head: There’s no smell, what’s wrong with you?
Without much thought, he pulled Miss Ji along and met them at the entrance of the water prison.
Lao Wei still had something he wanted to say.
However, I interrupted him. “Now is not the time to talk. Let’s get out.”
The two of them supported Miss Ji up and walked in front.
I took out Mo Hong and followed.
He always felt that this journey was far too relaxed and unrealistic.
Before he could finish his thought.
A loud boom echoed out.
Shen Qu cried in alarm, “Not good! The way out is blocked. ”
The exit had been tightly sealed off by a pile of boulders.
They looked at me, helpless.
I sent out a few sword Qis which hacked at the huge rock.
Keng qiang sounds rang out and sparks flew in all directions.
The boulder, however, was completely undamaged.
I sighed and stabbed the sword into the ground. “It seems that this is no ordinary stone. My sword Qis are unable to cause any harm to it.”
Miss Ji sat on the ground, his entire body was drenched as he panted heavily, “Water, water prison… The water is the moving water… ”
My eyes lit up and I raised Mo Hong. “Since it is a living water, there must be a way out of the water. You all know water, right? ”
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, nodded.
Miss Ji also nodded, but he looked very weak.
Being in danger was something that had to be done.
I still held some hope in my heart as I took out the sagebrush. “Come over here and try to use the sagebrush first. The water prison is not working, but now that we’re out of the water prison, it might work. ”
Lao Wei and Shen Qu supported Miss Ji over.
Curse.
The stone trembled slightly.
A golden light shone.
My face lit up. “It’s done!”
There wasn’t a single security guard at the entrance of the Yan Residence.
I walked in front.
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, supporting Miss Ji followed behind.
There was no wind at all, and it was still a little stuffy.
Moonlight scattered on the ground. It was not white, but a fiery red.
Lao Wei’s breathing became rough: “Old Xiao, why is the moonlight red?”
Shen Qu supported Miss Ji as sweat dripped down his face, “Why is it so hot?”
Miss Ji’s breathing became hurried, “What place is this? Isn’t it autumn now? Why is it so hot? ”
I held back the discomfort and stopped. He felt the heat rush to his face, as if it was right in front of him.
A muffled sound rang out.
I subconsciously stepped out of the Hengping’s footwork and dodged to the side.
His stomach hurt, and he felt a hard object colliding with him.
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, and the Miss Ji exclaimed in unison.
Crack.
The so-called Yan Residence in his surroundings shattered like glass.
Behind the tomb was the palace.
So it turned out that the sagebrush had no effect at all.
The thing that struck my ribs just now was the shield in the hands of the two stone sculptures.
That’s not right.
That thing just now clearly came up to him on its own accord. Could it be …
I endured the pain and forced myself to stand up. “You guys go ahead and wait. We’ll leave through the water prison.”
Lao Wei knew my character, so he didn’t beat around the bush. Supporting Miss Ji with his arm, he silently walked towards the water prison.
“Those who trespass into the Emperor Tomb.”
“Kill without mercy!”
Two muffled voices entered my ears.
My body jolted and I struck out with my sword.
acanthopanax slashed towards the stone sculpture on the left.
Light Ink to Dip Flower for Light Wind pierced towards the stone sculpture to the right.
The stone statue was already alive. It raised its shield and blocked my attack.
He waved his halberd simultaneously, one from the left, one from the right, one from the right.
I tightened my legs, lowered my head, and stretched it out. He placed his feet on the right side of the stone statue’s chest, stabbing towards the left side of the stone statue’s throat.
He didn’t forget to add the flame and leave the scene.
The spirit energy gathered into an ink-colored flame pool and covered it in black flames, turning it into a bubble of fire.
With a wave of the Swordflower, threads of Ink Flames could be formed into chains that coiled around the two stone sculptures’ necks.
The two stone statues withdrew their halberds, and then they arched their shields.
I wasn’t afraid of the force. He leapt into the air, landing his foot on the shield and borrowing the force to leap upwards.
The scarlet flame attached itself to the blade of the sword, gathering all of its strength and slashing towards the stone statue’s neck.
Mo Yan Suo had successfully tied them down.
A black light flashed.
His two heads successively fell to the ground.
His body was still standing, and his halberd shield was not damaged in the slightest.
I rubbed my stomach, which still ached a little. “These two stone sculptures must be crazy. There were so many people who didn’t reveal their souls earlier, but now, only the three of us did.” You even have to pick up a soft persimmon to guard a grave.
Lao Wei heaved a sigh of relief and passed me a cigarette: “Are you alright?”
I took it, bit into my mouth, and lit it up. “It’s nothing, luckily they didn’t use halberds that time, otherwise I would have really returned to my original position. “Come, let’s go to the water prison and escape by following the flow of the water.”
The waterway beneath the water prison led straight to the back mountains of Yandi Mausoleum.
We escaped, but we were all soaked in sweat.
Of course, this was just my inner thoughts, so I couldn’t say it out loud at this moment.
I turned back.
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, Miss Ji were all gone.
He panicked and looked around: “Lao Wei? Miss Ji? Where did you go? ”
The white moonlight that was scattered on the ground gradually turned crimson.
The hot wind blew against his face as a fierce force attacked him.
His heart ached.
I fainted.
A cool breeze blew across my cheek.
I opened my eyes and sat up.
The chill from above made me shiver several times.
I was wet, as if I had just come out of the water.
Lao Wei, Shen Qu, and the Miss Ji had already built a fire beside them.
They all let out a sigh of relief when I woke up.
Lao Wei lit a cigarette: “I also don’t know why you fainted either. I had originally wanted to borrow your sagebrush to go back. Who would have thought that you would go crazy and start shouting and hitting me. We can’t stop you, so we’ll have to go to the side. Then, as if you were tired, you lay down. ”
Shen Qu looked at me: “Did you not rest well these past few days? I’ve heard that when you’re tense for a long time, you’re prone to hallucinations. ”
Miss Ji picked up a piece of wood and placed it inside the fire, “Otherwise, if you had slept soundly, you would have scared us to death like that earlier.”
I rubbed my eyes and sighed. “But it feels so real, sigh.”
Lao Wei handed over a cigarette: “Take this opportunity to rest for a while, we still need to hurry on our journey tomorrow.”
I took the cigarette, not in a hurry to put it in my mouth. You don’t need to go back with the sagebrush? ”
Lao Wei frowned, he stretched out his hand and placed it on my forehead: “What happened to you? Weren’t you the first to agree? No fever. Old Xiao, are you insane? ”
I was even more confused. I didn’t even want to smoke anymore. “I, I was the first to agree? What did I promise? ”
Lao Wei was stunned.
Shen Qu and Miss Ji looked at each other.
Lao Wei retracted his hand, looking a little nervous: “Old Xiao, you, don’t scare me? Do you really not know, or are you just pretending? ”
Did they think I was joking?
I couldn’t help raising my voice. “I really don’t know! How could I have the mood to joke around with you all at this time? What exactly happened? ”
Shen Qu’s brows knitted together, “After we escaped, Miss Ji said that Long Teng Group had an underground branch in the God Nong Valley. Those Soaring Dragons minions must have brought the information from our branch to the God Shennong Valley. ”
“For the sake of my colleagues who were lurking in the Soaring Dragon group, Miss Ji said that he would first go to the God Farmer Valley to retrieve the branch’s information. At that time, Ah Yu and I were still in a dilemma, but you were the first one to agree to it. We agreed to follow you. ”
“And there are many ways to Shennong Valley. We can only follow the tracks they left behind slowly. We cannot use sagebrush s to catch up directly, or else we will definitely be discovered by the Long Teng Group. ”
Miss Ji nodded his head, his face also became very solemn: “Things are just like what Little Shen said.”
I pulled my thoughts together.
Even though he had figured it out, he was still very confused.
Am I really hallucinating?
