Xixia dead book

Chapter 44: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (44)
But the only answer to him was the more devout chanting of the great lama.Just as Han Jiang was about to stretch out his hand to pull the Lama, "Bang!" A bullet passed Han Jiang's back of his hand and shot into the Lama's body, followed by another two bullets, "Bang! Bang!"The big lama's red monk's robe was soaked with blood, and Han Jiang couldn't tell which was the original color of the monk's robe and which was the blood of the big lama.

The great lama was shot several times and still chanted sutras, Han Jiang was helpless.He caught a glimpse of the three pistols on the table, picked them up, and threw the two pistols to Tang Feng and Makarov.Holding his pistol, he crawled to the wooden window of the Buddhist hall.At this time, Liang Yuan stopped screaming, the sound of the great lama chanting sutras was no longer loud, and the gunshots outside seemed to gradually stop.

Han Jiang glanced out the window, and five or six men in black wearing black hoods approached the wooden house step by step with their guns raised.He gestured to Tang Feng and Makarov, and they immediately understood what he meant. Han Jiang asked them to get ready and evacuate slowly outside the Buddhist hall.Tang Feng and Makarov nodded at him.Makarov pulled Liang Yuan, Tang Feng pulled Hei Yun, and crawled out of the Buddhist hall, Hei Yun wanted to drag the dying lama, but Tang Feng forced him down, Tang Feng covered Hei Yun's body Mouth, Heiyun struggled hard, crying...

Tang Feng forcibly pulled Hei Yun out of the Buddhist hall, and Han Jiang, Makarov and Liang Yuan also withdrew.The corridor outside the Buddhist hall is a blind spot for shooting. Several people stood up, and Han Jiang whispered: "It seems that we are surrounded." Then, Han Jiang turned to Hei Yun, "Is there any other way out here?"

Heiyun sobbed and replied: "The platform...below the platform, near the cliff...there is a hidden plank road on the edge of the cliff, which most people don't know about."

While Hei Yun was speaking, Tang Feng was still nervously tugging on Hei Yun's hand, for fear that she would run back to the Buddhist hall if she became agitated.Seeing this, Liang Yuan grabbed Tang Feng's hand and stared at Tang Feng with an angry look.Tang Feng knew that Miss Liang Yuan was jealous again.

At this time, Han Jiang ordered in a low voice: "It seems that we have only this way out. You stay here first, and I will go to see if there are any enemies on the platform?"

After finishing speaking, Han Jiangmao walked quickly to the door of the wooden house with his waist down, and looked towards the platform outside the door. There was no one on the platform by the cliff!It seems that this group of men in black didn't know the existence of the plank road, so they didn't outflank it.Han Jiang waved to the people behind him, and everyone gathered behind the door. Han Jiang ordered in a low voice: "Tang Feng, take Liang Yuan and Hei Yun, and walk along the plank road first, and the old horse and I will cover."

Tang Feng wanted to say something else, but Han Jiang was already ready to attack.Tang Feng swallowed his words back. He held Liang Yuan with one hand and Hei Yun with the other, waiting for Han Jiang to break through the door.

With a sound of "Boom -" Han Jiang kicked open the door, leaped and landed on the platform in front of the door.As soon as he settled down, the dense gunfire sounded again.Han Jiang took advantage of the situation and rolled, and leaned against a rock to fight back.At the same time, Makarov used the gate as a cover to shoot at the man in black, while Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan and Hei Yun, and the three of them rushed out of the house with cats on their waists...

There was another burst of gunfire, which made Liang Yuan and Hei Yun scream. Fortunately, under the cover of Han Jiang and Lao Ma, Tang Feng dragged Liang Yuan and Hei Yun to the edge of the cliff, jumped off a rock, and the bullets Can't get here anymore.Tang Feng straightened his waist and asked Heiyun loudly: "What about the plank road you are talking about?"

The black cloud pushed away a bush and weeds on the edge of the cliff, and a narrow plank road appeared in front of him, and there really was a plank road!Tang Feng secretly marveled in his heart, seeing this plank road winding and circling among the cliffs, leading directly to the bottom of the cliff. "Where does this plank road lead to?" Tang Feng asked loudly again.

"Go to the bottom of the cliff, on the shore of Haizi, there is a small boat there. Come with me." After Hei Yun finished speaking, he took the lead on the plank road.

Heiyun's words brightened Tang Feng's eyes. He looked back at the platform above the rock, and the gunshots gradually stopped. He knew that Han Jiang and Lao Ma were running out of bullets.How are they doing now?He wanted to rush up.He tightly held the gun in his hand, there were only four bullets in it... Finally, he restrained the impulse in his chest, followed Hei Yun and Liang Yuan, and ran up the plank road that only allowed one person to pass.

At the end of the plank road, there is indeed a wooden boat here.Hei Yun and Liang Yuan jumped onto the boat, but Tang Feng was still standing on the shore, waiting for Han Jiang and Makarov to appear.Suddenly, he heard another burst of rapid gunshots, and Tang Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Han Jiang... Tang Feng pulled out his pistol...

The gunshots became louder and closer, and Tang Feng suddenly saw a person running on the plank road, it was——Han Jiang!Didn't see Makarov!When Han Jiang ran up to him, Tang Feng asked anxiously, "Where's the old horse?"

Han Jiang looked back and said out of breath, "Old...old horse was still behind just now, now...I...I don't know either."

Tang Feng asked Han Jiang to board the boat first, and stayed on the shore to meet him.Not long after, Makarov also appeared on the plank road.Makarov seemed to be unable to run anymore, after all, he was such an old man!Tang Feng took two quick steps, stepped forward to support him, almost pulled and dragged him, and finally got Makarov onto the boat.

Five people boarded the boat, and the men in black with black hoods also rushed to the shore, and five or six guns fired at the boat at the same time...

This is a small boat without power, and everything has to be driven by human power. Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, and Hei Yun finally rowed the boat away from the shore with all their strength. "Da! Da! Da!..." The dense bullets hit the water surface beside the ship's side, splashing waves of water.

The old horse, who was so tired and collapsed on the boat, also helped to paddle together.Braving the hail of bullets, everyone finally rowed the boat to the middle of Haizi.The gunfire gradually subsided, and the five people were so tired that they collapsed on the boat and let the boat float slowly downstream along the current.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Feng, who collapsed on the boat, suddenly muttered to himself: "Now I finally know how the black cloud disappeared on the cliff that day? It turned out to be this..." Tang Feng said Halfway through, I suddenly remembered something, sat up suddenly, and exclaimed "No!"This cry startled everyone, and they all stared at Tang Feng.Tang Feng asked Heiyun urgently: "What about those people in the village? Aren't they going to suffer?"

When Hei Yun heard that Han Jiang was asking about this, he calmed down a bit, and replied, "You don't have to worry about this. Master told the clansmen to evacuate yesterday, and they should have gone far away by now."

Everyone was surprised by Hei Yun's answer, and Tang Feng asked back: "The great lama predicted today's disaster yesterday? Could it be that he can really predict the future?"

Mentioning Master, Hei Yun's eyes became moist again, and he sobbed: "Yesterday, Master knew that you had that jade screen in your bag. He told me and my clansmen, since you have come here for the jade screen, then The tranquility here has already been broken, the blood curse... the blood curse will definitely come to fruition, and bad luck will befall us again. So Master told the tribe to evacuate here as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Tang Feng nodded and asked again: "That's right! Heiyun, I've always wanted to ask you, how many ways do you have to go out of the mountain here? The evacuation of your clansmen will not come from us Go in that hole?"

"Of course not. There are two roads for us to enter the mountain. One is the cave where you came, and the other has to climb several mountains before you can get out. Both roads are not easy to walk. The people of the tribe evacuated and walked. That mountain road. No matter which road, you must be led by someone who is familiar with the road before you can go out. Otherwise, if you deviate slightly, you will get lost. In the end, you will either be caught by wolves or die from exhaustion. Can you walk out of the cave? It’s a blessing to come out.”

"Sounds so scary! So which way should we go now?" Tang Feng asked.

"Now, it's impossible for us to take that mountain road. We can only take the cave road." Hei Yun replied.

"What? Go into that hole again?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.Although Tang Feng, Han Jiang, and Makarov didn't scream, their heads grew big when they heard that they were about to enter the hole. That terrible hole has already caused them a lot of suffering!But there is no other way now, only to enter the hole again, or have a chance.

While speaking, the boat had already drifted to the downstream cave. Looking at the dark cave entrance, everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.

[No.19 Reentry into the black hole]

When the last light disappeared behind him, Tang Feng knew that they had once again entered this deep and terrifying black hole.The wooden boat went up against the current, and the speed obviously slowed down. Tang Feng looked around and asked Heiyun: "Does the water in Haizi flow from the cave?"

Hei Yun said: "Yes. But it's not only this cave, but also the groundwater in the surrounding rock crevices and the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains."

"Should we be safe now?" Liang Yuan let out a long breath when she saw that there were no pursuers behind.

"Don't take it lightly, our opponents are not easy! Think about it, we got rid of them as soon as we entered the hole, how did they find this place?" Han Jiang still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

"Yes! There are only two ways to enter the mountain here, they..." Tang Feng was full of doubts.

No one spoke anymore, and there was a dead silence in the cave, only the sound of running water remained.After paddling hard for more than ten minutes, Han Jiang found that the water became shallower and shallower, and the wooden boat seemed to be stranded. He swung the oar vigorously twice, and the oar had already touched the pebbles at the bottom of the underground river.

"The boat has run aground, we should disembark." Before Han Jiang could speak, Heiyun said to everyone first.

Everyone jumped off the wooden boat, packed up their luggage, waded through the water and walked forward for another 5 minutes, and the magnificent pillared hall was displayed in front of everyone.Tang Feng pointed to the dozens of large stone pillars in the pillar hall, and said to Heiyun, "These are the masterpieces of your ancestors?"

Heiyun looked up at the magnificent hall of pillars and said, "No! I don't know. I just learned about our ancestors. Before, Master didn't tell us about the Dangxiang people. He just repeatedly said to us, 'We It's a different person'."

"Different people? I don't think there is any difference! The great lama is unfair to you in order to continue the party and nation. You should also have the right to choose your own life." Tang Feng said.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Hei Yun remained silent, but Han Jiang glared at Tang Feng and said, "People are dead, what's the use of talking about this! Now we need to go out quickly and find it before our opponents. Heitou Shishi, get the second jade screen."

While speaking, everyone had already arrived in front of the waterfall. Tang Feng wanted to go to the hall of pillars with a flashlight, but Heiyun stopped him: "Let's not bother those lost souls."

Hei Yun's voice suddenly became thick and majestic, like an inviolable queen, and everyone cast surprised eyes on Hei Yun.Heiyun himself also felt the change in his own voice, and his face was full of surprise.Tang Feng said in shock: "Heiyun, why did your voice change just now?"

Hei Yun shook his head in horror, "No! I don't know how it happened just now..." Hei Yun's voice seemed to return to normal at this moment.

"Okay, Heiyun, where should we go now?" Han Jiang asked Heiyun.

Heiyun pointed at the waterfall and explained to everyone: "As I said just now, there are two roads into the mountain, one is the mountain road, and the other is this cave..."

"Are we going to go through as many holes as we did when we came here?" Liang Yuan felt deep fear when she thought of this.

"I don't know where you came from, but the road I took you is a shortcut compared to that mountain road. It's just to not disturb the souls of our ancestors. Basically, no one comes from Let’s go here!” Hei Yun led the crowd around the waterfall and behind the waterfall.

Tang Feng stood behind the waterfall, and the loud sound from the waterfall hit his eardrums violently. Looking at the water curtain in front of him, he suddenly felt as if he had passed away.When they came, they bypassed the waterfall and walked into the last pure land of the party members; now, they returned to the back of the waterfall.Tang Feng couldn't help feeling a sense of loss when he was about to leave here...

Just when Tang Feng was thinking wildly, Heiyun bent down and touched a seemingly ordinary stalagmite beside him. Heiyun pulled the stalagmite vigorously, and a miracle happened—a loud bang, the water Behind the curtain and in front of everyone, a stone door protruded, and a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was quite surprised, Liang Yuan stood there in shock, and muttered to herself foolishly: "Unexpectedly, there is a stone gate here, it seems that we don't have to go through the cave anymore."

Han Jiang handed Heiyun his flashlight, and Heiyun took the flashlight and walked into the narrow opening first.This is a tunnel. Tang Feng shone a flashlight on the wall of the tunnel and said, "There are obvious traces of artificial polishing on the wall. It seems that this is another masterpiece of the party members."

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Han Jiang hummed softly, thinking that this guy's bookishness has fallen again, and he still doesn't forget to research and verify. What he cares about now is: "How long is this tunnel?"

Heiyun replied: "It's not long, but it's not short either. Just follow me."

Everyone followed behind the black cloud.The tunnel is wide and narrow at times, and the footsteps are also uneven. There are no forks in the road, and the ventilation is good, which means that there must be a big hole at the other end.But after walking for about half an hour, they still didn't see the entrance of the cave at the other end. Instead, there was a fork in the road. Heiyun walked on the fork without hesitation, and said to the people behind him: "Everyone follow me closely, we are going out gone."

Walking on the forked road, Tang Feng obviously felt that the road under his feet went up, and the tunnel became wider and wider.It was another fork in the road, and Heiyun led everyone on the fork in the road again.This branch road is obviously narrower than the tunnel just now, and there are some sections where everyone needs to bow down.In this tunnel, the air circulation is also very poor, everyone gasped heavily and felt difficult to breathe.Tang Feng asked Heiyun suspiciously: "Isn't that right? The road just now got wider and wider, and the air circulation is also good. Why is this road getting narrower and narrower, and the air is also very poor!"

Heiyun replied: "That's right, the fork in the road just now was to confuse strangers who came in by mistake. Do you know where that fork in the road leads to?"

Tang Feng shook his head, and Hei Yun explained calmly: "If you go straight down that fork in the road, it will be the nest of vampire bats."

Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, and Makarov immediately recalled the scene where they encountered thousands of bats in a tunnel when they came here. Tang Feng asked in surprise, "You mean those bats are vampire bats?"

"Yes, they are the elves of this cave. There are thousands of them in groups. Anyone who strays into the cave can hardly escape their attack."

Hearing what Hei Yun said, everyone was afraid for a while.Fear, fatigue, and difficulty breathing made everyone slow down, but the hole that Heiyun mentioned hadn't appeared yet.Heiyun's speed did not slow down, and he went faster and faster, so everyone had to work hard and follow Heiyun closely.

As the tunnel got narrower and narrower, Tang Feng felt more and more difficult to breathe. He pulled the weak Liang Yuan hard to prevent Liang Yuan from falling behind.He felt suffocated, yes, the feeling of suffocation!He felt that he was going to... He turned his head and took a photo of Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan's face had changed color due to lack of oxygen.At this moment, a gust of cool wind hit, mixed with fresh air and sent into the tunnel...
