Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 241 Goodbye, Gun God

Gunslinger didn't walk fast, the water trickled up from the soles of his feet, first from his waist, then his chest, and finally covered his entire head. I almost thought he was going to throw himself into the river.

"Lao Yan, do you think something is wrong?" The ominous premonition in my heart became more and more serious, and I turned my head to look at Lao Yan.

Lao Yan took out a cigarette and stomped it on his hand, then stared deeply at Gunshen: "No matter what, it's his own choice, Chang'an, the members of 701 are under my jurisdiction, but more often they be free."

"What do you mean?" I asked nervously, and his answer made me feel even more uneasy, as if he knew what Gunslinger was going to do, and also knew the consequences of his doing so.

Lao Yan turned to look at me: "If you knew a way to solve the mystery of the chime, would you go?"

"Of course." I nodded without thinking.

"Then can I stop you?" Lao Yan asked again.

I immediately understood what he meant. Gunslinger's method is the method that every member of 701 will choose. Even if the method he knows may not work, it is still worth fighting for.Because all our lives depend on him, and if he doesn't try, then...

"Old Yan, can we really just watch? I always feel... I always feel that he's gone like this..." I really can't say what happened next.

Lao Yan pressed my shoulder and said wait, since Gunslinger doesn't need our help, we can't intervene at will, otherwise it may cause more serious consequences!
I also knew in my heart that Lao Yan made the most rational decision, but seeing that the Gunslinger had disappeared on the water without even a single ripple, I still wished I could dive right in, regardless of whether he chimes in or not. Let's save him first.

But on the other hand, reason also told me not to be impulsive, and forcefully nailed me in place.

The surface of the water was calm and there was no one at all. I rubbed my hands nervously and turned around a few times from time to time.I felt like I was about to turn the ground out of a hole, and finally there was a splash in the water.

I hurriedly looked up, but all I could see was one arm—the gun god's arm stretched out from the water, holding a piece of paper on it. The paper was soaked, but because it was specially made by 701, It doesn't affect reading at all, but because it's too far away, I can't see clearly at all.

And he was surrounded by blood!
Lao Yan had already plunged into the water, and quickly swam towards Gunshen.

He took the paper held by the Gunslinger, and the moment the paper left the Gunslinger's hand, he sank without warning.

Startled, Lao Yan put the paper into his arms, picked him up with his hand, and swam towards the shore with one arm.

I immediately pulled the gun god up, but I felt something was wrong when I pulled it: it was too light!

Gunslinger is the most muscular among us, but when I pulled it up, I felt that he was only as heavy as a child.

"Where did he, his lower body go?" I sat down on the ground, only to see that Gunslinger had only one upper body, his legs and feet had all disappeared, and the wound was pitted, as if it had been sawed open by something. .And he had already passed away, and the note with the words on it should have been left by him when he was dying.

Lao Yan was soaked in water, unable to speak for a long time, as if he couldn't believe the consequences.

I couldn't accept it even more, because I personally swam under the water for a long time, and there was nothing in it. Why did something happen to him?
"Look at what he left behind." Team Bai said calmly.

Lao Yan glanced at her, and asked for help in a sad tone: "Master, did I do something wrong?"

He should be regretting his decision to let Gunslinger solve the mystery alone, no, he shouldn't be regretting it, it's just that he couldn't accept the ending of Gunslinger for a while.

"Xiao Yan, we have been through all the way, and there is still little blood and tears? Don't delay, time is running out." Team Bai sighed.

The phrase "Time is running out" irritated Lao Yan, he wiped his face, the whole person stood on the shore and went ashore, and then with trembling hands, he took out the note left by Gunslinger from his arms.

There were only four big red characters on the note, which could be seen to have been written in blood in a hurry by Gunslinger, crooked like a child who just learned to write.

"What does it mean to destroy the little clock?" I touched the word, as if I could still feel the heat, and I only felt a burst of soreness in my heart.

Lao Yan took the little clock out from Gunshen's arms, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly went crazy and wanted to throw the little clock into the water, but at the last moment, he didn't know what he thought of and took it back by himself.

He pulled his hair and gasped, "I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it!"

We were all shocked by his appearance, because at this moment, Lao Yan seemed to have fallen into madness, and his eyes were no different from that group of crazy archaeologists. I stretched out my hands, just afraid that he would suddenly Do something irreversible.

Fortunately, he didn't go crazy. In the end, he just shook his head with a wry smile: "Old Xu, are we getting old?"

He asked this question strangely, but Professor Xu seemed to understand his thoughts, and answered after a long while: "Old Yan, maybe we really did something wrong."

Since entering Zeng Guo's tomb, it's not new for the two of them to talk like this, so I didn't rush to urge them.In the end, Lao Yan explained by himself that he should have thought of the connection between Xiao Zhong and Chime Bell, but he had been blinded by the clue that Xiao Zhong could find Chime Bell, and never thought that the real culprit was Xiao Zhong!

"It's not your fault that you didn't think of it." I comforted.

But Lao Yan interrupted the comforting words as soon as he uttered them. He sighed and said that it was his fault, because he and Professor Xu had actually read the materials in this regard, but they just didn't think about it.Maybe it's because they thought of them but didn't dare to try it lightly, fearing that once they return to Xiao Zhong, the last hope will be gone. After all, it's because they are old and don't have the courage of their youth.

I asked in surprise, "Have you seen it?"

"That's right, I've seen some records about the Demon Bell of the Warring States Period, and it's also a chime bell that can confuse people's hearts. There is also a solution, which is to destroy the media. But because the information about the chime bell is too detailed, there is evidence to support it." I thought it wasn't Zeng Hou Yi's chime, so I just ignored the past." Lao Yan said with a very heavy regret.

Team Bai raised his eyelids: "You mean the 'Spirit Demon Clock'?"

"That's right, this is recorded in the history of Chu State during the Warring States Period, so..." Professor Xu's eyes were red with remorse.

Chu State?

My whole body was shocked, and my fingers trembled slightly: "Did Zeng Guo be destroyed by Chu State?"

Lao Yan and Professor Xu looked even more regretful, and after a while, the two turned their faces away and cried silently.

I didn't speak anymore, and instantly understood why Lao Yan just asked Professor Xu if he was old?Because he no longer dared to try lightly, dared not take risks anymore, although on the surface he was still the steady but aggressive veteran, but in fact he was old...

Looking at the gray hair of the two people who were over half a century old, I was speechless for a long time.In fact, it's not that they are old, but that every step is a risk, and aggressiveness often only increases unnecessary sacrifices.

I breathed out, and the Bai team had already spoken: "Xiao Yan, let's go out first!"
