Xie Linglu - Chapter 171
This kind of discovery made everyone’s faces congeal, and at this moment Xun Youling’s cell phone suddenly rang, the sudden voice made everyone stunned, and subconsciously took a defensive posture, and it took a while to realize that it was The message tone of the mobile phone.
“Isn’t there a lack of signal after entering the mountain? Xiaochun, why is there still a message on your mobile phone?” Xun Zuo asked strangely, and he took advantage of the situation and took out his own to check, and it was still in a state of no signal.
Xun Youling was also strange. She took out her mobile phone and found that it was the location sharing message sent by Xun Yang. She clicked the confirmation almost at the same time as she saw the message, but as soon as Fang connected, the two red dots flashed on the screen of the mobile phone. However, it shows that the sharing has been interrupted.
She immediately re-invited her, but the mobile phone prompted her to connect to the Internet. When she saw that her mobile phone had become inactive, she quickly dialed a call, and the phone also indicated that it could not be connected.
Since knowing the news of Xun Huai’s accident, Xun Youling has been calling Xun Yang every once in a while since Dingxuan Temple, but these calls are invariably unable to be connected. The location sharing this time is from Xun Yang’s time The first contact after the commissary’s phone call.
Xun Youling told the news to a few people in frustration, handed over his cell phone, and motioned them to walk around to see if there might be a signal, Xun You took Xun Youling’s cell phone, and then handed over the jade pendant in his hand. , indicating that Xun Youling should keep it.
Xun Nagan patiently waited for a few people to test the phone signal. During this period, he deduced Xun Yang and their state again, but his expression did not improve in the slightest. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw a few people still walking around. The Xun Nagan ran out of patience.
“It’s almost done. Everyone packs up and we continue to move forward. If that kid Xun Yang really has so much free time, we won’t need to come here.” Xun Nagan finished speaking and took the lead in carrying his own backpack.
Xun Youling carried Ji Xinxi on his back and stood up and said, “I just took a quick look, I probably know which direction to go, I’ll take the lead.”
Xun Ge walked up to her and said, “Xiaochun, do you want me to carry Xiaoxi?”
Xun Youling shook her head and rejected his good intentions. Of course, her own wife had to carry it herself. She was worried about others. Her physique was more than enough to carry a Ji Xinxi, but in order to avoid unnecessary wear and tear, Wen Lianzhen reminded Xun Youling to put her tablet on the table. On Ji Xinxi’s body.
Xun Youling did as she was told, and suddenly felt that she could hardly feel the existence of Ji Xinxi on her shoulders. She could carry ten more Ji Xinxis like this.
Several people packed their own things, replenished water in the camp, and some food such as beef jerky and chocolate, and set off again, it was three o’clock in the morning.
There is no lighting equipment on the mountain, and when you look out, you can’t see your fingers. Fortunately, the camp has excellent lighting equipment, which solves this problem for them.
Xun Ge walked beside Xun Youling to prevent accidents, and took advantage of the situation to find a topic to talk about: “Xiaochun, do you think the people in this camp are the ones who were fed ghost vines?”
Xun Youling glanced at him, still complaining in her heart that the other party had just pulled herself away from Ji Xinxi, but she also knew that Xun Ge was out of concern for her, and she didn’t do it intentionally and she was not easy to attack. He pursed his lips and said, “It’s probably a wave of people, and I don’t know where this wave of people came from. Seeing that the equipment is all excellent, it will take a lot of work to prepare. It must be here. with reason.”
When Xun Ge saw that Xun Youling was willing to talk to him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued on the topic: “It looks a bit like a tomb robber and a little different, I’m not sure who they are, but I just found them in the camp. this.”
Xun Ge showed something in front of Xun Youling, Xun Youling found out that it was a silver lighter with a black pattern on it. She felt that the pattern was familiar, so she let out a sigh and said, “Xi Xi, you Look, isn’t this…”
Xun Youling subconsciously wanted to find Ji Xinxi to confirm, but then she looked at the face with her eyes closed against her shoulders, her eyes darkened and her mouth was extremely obscure.
Seeing her like this, Xun Ge immediately followed the words and drew Xun Youling’s attention back.
“Xiaochun, what do you see from this lighter?”
Xun Youling turned his gaze back to the lighter. There was a crow with spread wings on it, which was very similar to the tattoo on Geng Sheng, but Geng Sheng had two tattoos, and it was much more complicated than this, but if the crow was separated by itself If you take it out and look at it, the pattern is almost the same.
She couldn’t help but guess in her heart, assuming that this group of people were Geng Sheng’s people, that group of people disappeared after leaving Qu Ruohang’s tomb, and even the official archaeological team later went to the tomb to explore, and there was no follow-up report on this aspect. and news came out.
Geng Sheng appeared alone in Feng Moxuan’s tomb and died on the spot. Now this group of people has appeared near the place where Xun Huai’s accident happened, as if they had been circling their Dingxuan Temple. If this is not a coincidence, in the end Who knows their whereabouts so well.
Thinking of this, Xun Youling opened her mouth and called out to Xun Nagan. Xun Nagan took a few steps slowly and came to her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xun Youling asked Xun Nagan and Xun Yang to investigate the matter of the Seventh Master after he came out of Feng Moxuan’s tomb, if they found anything.
Xun Nagan’s small eyes glanced at Xun Youling, and it was a little strange that Xun Youling asked what to do at this time, but he followed the words: “I told you before that the people in the north are robbing tombs, and most tomb robbers are greedy. Daring, they have long guessed that we have a huge tomb hidden in the hands of Dingxuanguan, so they have been testing it openly and secretly for hundreds of years.”
“But they are also the people who are most afraid of Taoism among the other three parties. After all, they are the first line in the underworld to go to the grave, so they are also the most in need of Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits. Although they have doubts in their hearts, they do not dare to take action.”
“After you told me that time, I preliminarily judged that it was the hands and feet of the people over there, so Xun Yang and I followed this idea to investigate, but the result was only that the Geng Sheng you mentioned was a group of secretly taking all kinds of desperate lives. The underground gang that buys and sells.”
“This group of people is not well-known, so it took a lot of effort to find out, but the news of the seventh master was not found at all. It was like people appeared out of nowhere and disappeared out of thin air. Geng Sheng was hired to work with this seventh master. Lord, treat this man like a **** of wealth.”
“I’m guessing that this seventh master is someone from the north. Those people are extreme and never leave their tails behind. It’s basically impossible to verify.”
After listening to Xun Youling, she felt that according to Xun Nagan’s statement, her conjecture could be established, so she told Xun Nagan of her findings, and Xun Nagan was slapping the fan in the palm of his hand with a thoughtful face.
“According to what you said, it’s not impossible. The group of people have now received news that I have a tomb in Dingxuan Temple. Naturally, they feel that we are hiding the location of other tombs. It makes sense to follow us to see if we can find anything. .”
Then he shook his head again and continued: “But this is just one of the guesses. We can’t verify it now. In case we are fundamentally wrong, this group of people has nothing to do with the people in the north, that is, we are on the cusp of bullshit.”
Xun Youling nodded, feeling a little lost in her heart. If Ji Xin was awake at this moment, she would think more comprehensively than her, and maybe she would have a new idea. In the past, bowed his head and hurried on his way.
The atmosphere among the people returned to the previous silence again. The road up the mountain was not easy to walk, and the weeds were overgrown, and I didn’t know what species it was. The edges were serrated, and the leaves were thick and hard. Chopping with a machete while walking, the terrain winds up, and it seems that you can’t see your head when you are in it.
Xun Youling, who was carrying Ji Xinxi on his back, retreated to the middle of the team because he was going to chop plants, and Xun Zuo and Xunyou led the way. , Since the work in their hands is not very technical, they are also very casual.
A dull sound rang out, Xun Zuo raised the machete in his hand and moved his wrist in a sour tone, and whispered, “Oh~ what is so hard, my hands are numb.”
When Xun You heard this, he used the machete to poke the weeds in front of Xun Zuo, and a stone statue was revealed inside. The statue was covered with a layer of moss. come out.
It was a statue of a lingering python. The carving was very detailed, and even the scales on the snake were clearly visible, and the expression seemed to be in a good dream.
Xun Zuo Xun You was surprised to see it, and he couldn’t stop beating with a machete, trying to see if there was a mechanism or something.
Seeing this, Xun Ge stepped forward and shouted, “Don’t be so reckless all the time, don’t touch it if you don’t know what it is, what if something goes wrong?”
Saying that, he was about to pick up the machete in Xun You’s hand, intending to take over the other party’s work and lead the way. He was walking over there and suddenly tripped over something and fell forward. Xun Zuo was just hit by him. He scolded the childish for not reaching out to help.
Xun Ge stumbled and stabilized his body, and then felt his wrist sink. He just subconsciously looked for something to support his body, and this time he just pressed it on the snake head of the statue. He is nearly two meters tall and has a lot of strength. He has been practicing Taoism all the year round, and with this palm down, the stone statue was actually sunk by him.
His heart was full of alarms, and he felt bad, and when a few people saw this, they were about to turn and leave, but the ground under his feet suddenly became very soft, followed by the sound of the statue turning, and the coiled snake actually swam. Get up, straight up the snake head.
Several people could no longer move, and they were deeply immersed in the mud under their feet. Immediately, the surrounding vegetation began to collapse. Xun Nagan shouted in a low voice: “No! It’s a swamp!”
The fan in his hand slammed hurriedly, trying to shake the soil that bound his feet away, but as the force continued, the ground only oscillated slightly but sank faster. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes. And the snake head over there opened his mouth strangely, and a puff of blue smoke spewed out, and the few people who were busy getting out were suddenly hit by accident.
Xun Youling supported Ji Xinxi’s body, only to feel the sudden dizziness of her brain. In the blink of an eye, the things in front of her swayed, and the next moment she fell into a drowsy consciousness.
At the last moment before she lost consciousness, she felt that Ji Xinxi behind her seemed to be slowly moving away from her.
