Chapter 344 Visiting the Cave
344 Chapter 344 Visiting the Cave

The fat man nodded and began to say to Wu Xie: "At the beginning, my little brother and I were in another cave, which was relatively dry, but I would come here to get water every once in a while.

After we stayed for a few days, we suddenly discovered that there was another person in the cave. I was scared to death at that time, so my brother and I walked over and took a look, ouch!That's our girl.

When I saw her, she was already drowning and lifeless, but her condition was better than yours. She was wearing less clothes, and you could tell if there were any injuries on her body at a glance. Then the little brother beat her up, and she woke up after a while. When I first woke up, I didn't recognize anyone and thought I was a bad guy. I looked so mean. "

I said, "It's not that I'm mean. I just woke up and couldn't see clearly at that time. You even pretended to talk to me in a strange and unpleasant voice. How could I know who you were? Moreover, you took my things and... If you say you won’t give it to me, I’m just trying to scare you, that’s already very polite.”

The fat man chuckled and said, "Innocent, how do you think she scared me?"

Wu Xie looked at him, and he continued: "She held up her knife and waved it at me, telling me that she was going to cut me into pieces. This was not cruel enough, it was simply violent and cruel. "

I gave him a soft "hum" and he continued: "Then, just now, another person appeared here out of thin air. We recognized you immediately. You had already died at that time, but you You are fully armed. We can't tell whether you are injured or not. We are afraid that you may have some fractures, so we have not dared to move you. You, fat man, and I rescued you together, and you stay here. Wait until you wake up.

If you really need a savior, I'm still qualified to make a cameo as your fat man. "

The fat man's eyes were serious when he said this. Wu Xie realized that the fat man was not talking nonsense, but no one could explain how he got here, so he frowned and fell into thought.

After a while, Wu Xie asked: "I remember that the place I came from should be an abandoned shaft at the bottom of the lake. In my mind, it goes straight up and down. It is impossible for someone to rescue me and bring me here. Could it be that there are people along the way?" Are you following me? You put me here and left?" After he finished speaking, he saw that the fat man and the little brother had no reaction to his statement, and asked even more doubtfully: "Am I wrong?"

The fat man smiled bitterly, patted him, and vented loudly: "What the hell! This is impossible. If someone can bring you here, then damn, it must not be a "person" in the first place. .”

Wu Xie said "Ah" and asked, "Why?"

The fat man smiled bitterly and said: "Can you stand up? I will take you to walk around this cave. If you see for yourself, you will know where the problem is." Following the fat man, he took Wu Xie to look inside the cave. look.

What Wu Xie could see in the cave outside was that the cave was not big, there was nothing to see, and there were only dark traces on the rock wall, which seemed to be some kind of minerals contained in the rock.

Following the fat man, Wu Xie waded through the water and walked through the passage that looked like a knife to the cave where we lived for many days.

I know very well that the only person following Wu Xie along the way is Aning Ling. Because she is my consort spirit, she has the ability to touch objects, but she can only touch them briefly. Physical movement was carried out, but Wu Xie was not brought here by her. They only remembered to follow the water all the way down.

While they were walking away, I said to An Ningling: "Go and tell Xuefeng that we are all here now. We have to go out no matter what. Let's think of a way. I have to connect to the positioning mark outside." , otherwise the position cannot be determined."

An Ningling nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he disappeared with a "swish".

She also left. I leaned close to my brother's ear and whispered to him: "Brother, since this ghost place was dug manually, there must be a hole leading to the outside. The passage at that time should be on the rock wall, but I don't know now. We can't find the reason.

The fish caught by the fat man can swim out to the ancient village, which proves that the gap in the flowing water can definitely lead to the outside, and we can get out by opening a waterway.

The waterway is too long, so I can let Qipo and Aning Ling find the shaft just now, or a point where my spiritual power can be used normally, and let Qipo re-create a hollow spiritual power rope, and Qipo will retain the spiritual power of the spiritual power rope. At the break, Aning Ling can listen to my call and meet us along the way where the spiritual power is disconnected, and act as an artificial fixed point in the middle. You have my spiritual power, and our spiritual power is connected, so I can send you out. , definitely no problem.

It's just that the two of them are more suitable to use the method of breaking through the rock wall to escape outside and leave here. Then they must first know the east, west, north, and south, search for the positioning mark outside, and split the rock wall over there, making the hole wider. , it should also work.

However, if the arm monsters that came here are made of human replicators and are things from the iron figurines, then they will hurt people. I think they all seem to have their arms stretched out from the rock wall. Walking along the rock wall Road, those things will become the biggest enemies.

Brother, I still have a few questions to say. You rearranged those old books in the wooden building because they serve as reminders, right? But they have become rotten and moldy. Although you rearranged them, you also learned from them. I read some information, but it was not complete. Those books reminded you of the box under the bed. You also remembered something about this place, right? Is there anything else related to this place? "

Seeing that he didn't respond, I continued to say in order to seize the time: "Have you salvaged all the bones of the archaeological team members who were sucked into the lake? None of the bones have right hands. According to the Zhang family, those Jiu Men Er Where did the bones of those people go? There was no need to cut off the bones of those people. Did all the second generation of the Nine Clan, except Wen Jin and Huo Ling, really die at that time?

At that time, you haven't escaped from "it"'s captivity, but they will need you to provide clues when exploring here. You will definitely recover some memories when you come here, and that's when you can cooperate with Jiu Ye to fight against "it".

When you were dealing with the bones of the Zhang family, you fished out the bones of several members of the second generation of the Nine Gates, took them away from here with the new team, and hid them together, so this time we only found those "other" team Zhang The bones of family members.

I remember that since you and Panma looked at each other, your eyes have changed. Did you recognize him? Did you remember that you had seen him before?Have they even crossed paths?
Judging from his age and ability, you may have met Zhang Qishan when he led the team. Although Zhang Qishan is from the expelled lineage, he must recognize the unicorn tattoo unique to the Zhang family. Tattoos are extremely important in the eyes of the Zhang family. , in fact, it is not easy for one of us to get a tattoo, not to mention that Panma is an outsider.

But if he was the one who helped Zhang Qishan that time, then his purpose was different from yours. He must have been hostile to you after that. Although Panma said he didn’t recognize your face, after thinking about it again, I still think I feel like he is lying. Could it be that only part of what he told Wu Xie about the archaeological team is true? Could it be that he doesn’t want people to enter the mountain? What he said is so miraculous and terrifying that it can scare them away. , the person who couldn't be scared away must have an impure purpose, so he killed Wu Xie. Of course, it was normal for Wu Xie to be deceived by him, but it was a bit violent to kill someone.

There are also some things that I find strange. After the accident to the archaeological team, in order to prevent the murderer from revealing the fact that the archaeological team was changed, it stands to reason that the four murderers would be silenced. But two of them died and no one cared about them. , It doesn’t fit in with Jie Jiuye’s style of doing things.The two dead people and the new team are also very weird. They shouldn't smell like Zhang family clones or corpses. Are they clones?It's okay if it's a disguise, but it's a bit scary if it's a replica.

Brother, you said that since this mountain is rich in raw materials for human cloning, if they want to clone a person, will they give birth to a person like a couple getting married and having a baby?Or can the main body and that thing go hand in hand to absorb some things from the main body, just like copying and pasting files when transferring files on a computer?

You always say you can't touch it, so that means it's the latter?If you touch it, another self will appear?Or be swallowed by him? "The little brother lowered his eyes and thought while listening.

Wu Xie saw that the wet cave before was only thirty square meters and not much to see, but the cave inside, where we lived for many days, had a different kind of cave. It was at least twice as big as the previous cave, and It was filled with things, including a lot of rusty tools, wooden racks and baskets, and piles of blue bricks. There were many things that looked like stone mills and I didn't know what they were.

In the corner of the cave, there are several shelves that reach the top of the cave, and the iron figurines are also lying on them.

The ceiling and walls of the cave are covered with dark green stripes, which become clearer under the illumination of searchlights, emitting a light like glass.

In the middle of the cave, there was an upside-down jar with a statue of a god on it. Wu Xie didn't know what kind of god it was. There was a very simple incense burner in front of it.

Wu Xie asked the fat man in surprise: "Where the hell is this place? It looks like a stone chamber that is still being excavated. The project is only half completed, and there are piles of tool boxes and raw materials."

The fat man said to him: "We guess that this should be a mine."

Wu Xie looked around and said, "Mine? What type of mine? Is it an iron ore?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "Damn it, this thing is much more valuable than iron ore! Come and see." He pointed to the dark green stripes above and said: "Can you find out what kind of stone this is? Think about it, what kind of stone is this nearby? What is the most abundant?”

Wu Xie didn't quite understand what the fat man said at first, so he reached out and touched the lines on the stone. He felt that the stone was surprisingly warm and smooth, almost like a girl's face... He thought about it again, and a concept flashed through his mind and he exclaimed: "I Damn it! Are these stones... emeralds?"

The fat man nodded: "I'm not an expert on whether it's jade or not, but in my opinion, even if it's not jade, it won't be a bad jade. This should be a very good jade vein."

Wu Xie said "Ah" after hearing this: "I saw various strange phenomena in the stone village at the bottom of the lake. This cave seems to be part of the underground of the strange ancient building. I have always suspected that there is something in the mountains here. I feel that it may be The largest one is an ancient tomb, and I didn’t expect it to be a jade mine.

There is a hidden jade mine here. The value of the jade mine is not comparable to that of ancient tombs. The so-called gold is valuable and jade is priceless. Owning a jade mine can make you rich as a country!
In this way, all the strict arrangements above were completely justified. If it was to secretly mine jade, it would not be a loss to build a castle, not just a building.

In building this ancient building here, even the Yao King may even have a stake and use privileges to protect it. The value of the jade mine is too great, and no political power can give up this temptation.

But why hide it? "

He thought for a moment and continued: "Oh! I understand. It's actually very simple. If any force in other places knew about it, they would definitely send troops to attack it immediately. How much opium and tobacco could this thing be bought with money back then?"

The fat man said: "I think what happened here has something to do with the jade mine. For this thing, the terrifying conspiracy is not weird, and the value is too great."

Wu Xie looked at the iron frame placed in the corner and the dozen or so iron figurines lying on it and asked, "What's going on with these things? Are these also tools? They thought the foreman was too harsh, so they made the hoe look like the foreman's Like, and then smashing it every day?"

The fat man half-smiled, as if he didn't have the energy to joke: "I don't know about this, but if you look at these things, they are all cast iron tools, with iron supports on the sides. I think these iron figurines are the same as those we sell in bulk. Used to transport things. The ore was dug out, sealed directly in the iron figurines, and then melted in the local area. At that time, the war was in chaos. This could prevent accidents on the road, break the jade into pieces, and secondly, it would have carvings on it. The pattern, after being rust-proofed and then broken into pieces, can be said to be used to refine the iron to make bullets.”

Wu Xie took a breath and said "Oh!", as if he suddenly realized it, and I thought to myself that this is the case.

But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong and said: "Did those archaeological teams salvage these iron blocks just to salvage the jade in them?
It's unlikely. Although the value of jade is great, given the national power at that time, it should not be poor enough for the archaeological team to salvage it. Could these things have other uses? "

The fat man just smiled, but it could be seen that his expression was not relaxed. They walked slowly around the cave wall and continued: "However, looking at the scale of this mine, they don't seem to have excavated much. The breadth of the mining is Not high!"

The fat man helped him upright and said: "The scale of the jade mine is not very big to begin with. This is not the key to the problem. What I want you to see, fat man, is not these things."

Wu Xie turned around and continued to look around, but saw nothing else that could attract attention and asked, "Then what do you want me to see?"

The fat man raised the torch and asked, "Didn't you notice? There is no exit here."
