Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 157 Changbai Mountain Ghost King Tomb (11)
I said: Although this is a group of well-trained killers, it is inevitable that they will not make mistakes. I think... Before he finished speaking, Longlin's expression changed drastically and he stood up. He saw a man in a white robe with snow-white long hair , a young man with two long swords on his back came in. Except for me and Longlin, there were no other Tianling clansmen in the hall. I have seen this person before. It was the young man who went to the gloomy alley to look for Axue. He also has a "servant" who looks very scary. I don't know if he came with him this time. This person suddenly appeared at this time, which is obviously not a good sign. Could it be that I am going to join the internal affairs of the Tianling Clan so soon? The "fire merged".

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the young man said: "Uncle Long, according to the guests outside the door, is this your way of hospitality?"

Long Lin's complexion was ashen, he sighed and said: I knew there would be such a day, Master Qiu, please come in.

The young man strode in and walked in front of us. He never looked at me, as if I was a piece of air. He looked around the cave and said: This is where you live?
Longlin nodded and said: How many people have you come this time?

The young man's handsome face didn't change at all, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but he said in a very blunt tone: How many people do we need?Are you worthy of the Celestial Spirit Race's mobilization?

Longlin smiled wryly and said: That's true. From the beginning of the confrontation, we were vulnerable, and it is even more so today. However, Young Master Qiu, Longmou has something to ask.

The young man nodded and said, "You want to help your subordinates so that I can spare them?"
Longlin said: That's right, the family is not as bad as it is. They were bewitched by me back then, betrayed the Celestial Clan, and did rebellious things. All the faults are my fault. You are here today, and I will give you an explanation. .

After finishing speaking, he took out a silver knife from his sleeve and wiped it towards his neck. The young man grabbed his arm and said, "I didn't let you do it. You don't even have the right to die. Remember my words."

Long Lin let out a wry smile and said: That's true, Long is a sinner through the ages, let Master Qiu punish him.

The young man suddenly glanced at me and said, "Are you Luo Huan?"
I froze for a while before reacting and said: Yes.

The young man said: Do you know who I am?

I said: I heard that you are Ashe's cousin.

The young man nodded and said: How is she doing now?
I said: I don't know, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her very much.

The young man's expression suddenly became a little sad, he didn't want to be as cold as before, he sighed and said: "Can you go?"

Long Lin seemed taken aback and said: You let us go?

The young man nodded and said: "Go while I haven't changed my mind. This place has been completely exposed. You just stay here to die. I'm here today to tell you the truth about He Kangtian's betrayal. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." It's not something that you can find out through investigation, just be an ordinary person with peace of mind, He Kangtianquan can rest in peace if he has sacrificed for him for so many years.

Longlin's eyes seemed to be red, but he tried his best not to let the tears fall. I was also shocked. He suddenly said the name He Kangtian. It seemed that my father's death had a deep secret, although I had never seen it before. He doesn't have the slightest memory about him in his mind, but after all, this is my father, and I certainly won't give up any news about him, especially the news that he was killed.

But before I could speak, the young man said to me: I know your identity. There are two reasons why I violated the order to report the news today. One is for my sister, and the other is because I admire your father very much, so I Hope you can live, but don't live in vain.

I once met another cousin of Ashe, who seems to be this person's younger brother. The gap between the two is all-round, so although he seems very cold, I have no ill feeling towards him, and said: But I hope I won't disappoint you, but do you have any news about Ashe?I wish I could meet her.

The young man shook his head and said: It is impossible for me to have contact with people other than the Sky Spirit Clan, you should find her as soon as possible, she is a good girl.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the house. Long Lin didn't hesitate at all, and immediately notified all his subordinates to prepare to move. When I packed up my things and walked out of the house, everyone was ready. Their things were very simple: their own weapons and a Wrapping, Longlin said: Elder, please speak, where should we go?

I said: I am not familiar with this place, you let me speak, I know where to go?It's up to you to decide?
Longlin said: If this is the case, then I will decide on my own, everyone try not to make noise, the enemy is around us.

After that, he pulled me to his side and led us out of the cave. On the way, I couldn't help asking: Brother Long, what happened to my father, and what are you here for?Can you tell me?
Longlin smiled wryly and said: I never lied to you, why bother to ask again, the only thing I didn't explain to you was that Elder He was the leader who betrayed the Tianling clan at that time, as for whether he was trying to seize power, that's up to you. There are many theories in the Tianling clan, but I believe there must be hidden secrets in it. I have tried to find out the truth these years, but so far I have found nothing.

I said: I heard that our family was killed except me. Is this really the case?

Longlin sighed and said: That's right, you were also seriously injured, if it wasn't for timely treatment, I'm afraid you wouldn't survive.

My heart suddenly moved, Longlin and his group have a deep relationship with my father, and the group leader brought me here to do investigation work and met him, but is there really such a coincidence in the world?The leader really came here just for investigation?Thinking of this, I blurted out: Brother Long, you should have known my whereabouts long ago, right?
Long Lin obviously didn't expect that I would ask him this sentence, his expression suddenly changed: How did you know?As soon as he said this, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately changed his words: Elder thought too much, you and I were people from two worlds before, and I only heard about your situation recently.

I said: Who did you listen to?The news here is blocked, don't you tell me that you got the news from a friend of the Celestial Race?

Longlin said: There are many ways to transmit information here, and it's not that we don't know anything about the outside world. For example, flying eagle is one of the means we use to communicate with the outside world.

He tried his best to cover it up, but it made me more suspicious, and said: Brother Long, what is the relationship between you and our leader?
Longlin pretended not to know: who is your leader.

I said: The leader is the one who saved me. Since you know that I was seriously injured, you should know who saved me, and this time he brought me here. He happened to meet you, Brother Long. Although it is said that there is no coincidence, I don't think it is a coincidence.

Longlin said: I really don't know who the leader is, but I know a person named Chen Bo who may be the leader you mentioned.

I nodded and said, "This is the name of our leader. Since you know him, why do you pretend not to know him when you meet?"
Long Lin said inexplicably: When did I meet him?Are you talking about the middle-aged man who was with you before?
I said: That's right, don't you know him?
Longlin smiled and said: "I understand what's going on. This so-called regimental leader is not the real regiment leader at all. Of course, it's not correct to say that. The correct way to say it should be that the regimental leader I know is not the real regiment leader at all." In terms of job titles in the general sense, he is a person with a strong ability to unite, so others jokingly call him the head of the team. This person used to be a big shot and was also the best friend of your biological father, but he is just an ordinary person, so it does not matter. Accepted by the rest of the Tianling Clan, he was the first person to come to the scene to rescue Elder He after his accident, but this person should have died long ago. If I guessed correctly, the leader you mentioned should be his son, maybe It is he who entrusted you to his son.

Leader Chen's father is no stranger to me, because he was the key figure in solving the case of "Ghost Shadows", but he and my father are friends. Saved my life. There are really too many variables in life. I didn’t expect that I would have such a deep relationship with the leader’s family, and his care for me was not because of high expectations for me. It should be in line with his about the father.

I said: So, does my coming to Changbai Mountain have anything to do with you?

Longlin said: We didn't know each other before, you came here and I have nothing to do with it, but I received a message saying that you were hunted down, I hope I can help you, that day I led people to stop the soldiers of the Tianling clan It's for you, because I already knew your identity at that time, I think the person who revealed this news must be your regiment leader.

I nodded and said: His purpose of doing this is very puzzling. To put it bluntly, I don't think you guys can play much role in my safety.

Longlin said: That's true, but it's safer to be with us than with him, it seems that your leader is just an ordinary person.

I said: He is a supernatural person.

Long Lin said: Even if he is a god-man, he still entrusts you to us, this is the most important thing.

While we were talking, we walked to the Tianchi Lake. The lake at night was extremely cold. Thinking of the huge savage dragon in the lake, I felt cold from the inside out. Longlin seemed unaware of the huge crisis hidden in the lake. , leading a group of people to the shore, he took out a strangely shaped conch from his arms and blew it, which was similar to the sound of a cow roaring. Coming out of the lake, I took a few steps back in fright, almost sitting in the snow.

Then its head also floated out of the lake, with a pair of huge eyes, a long and narrow mouth, and two red thick long beards near the lower jaw, it looks evil and fierce, but the size of the Manjiao is really scary , It is estimated to be about 40 meters from the beginning to the end. I was dumbfounded. Longlin didn't seem to be afraid of it.

Manjiao's body is wide and big, and after twenty or so of us went up, it was not crowded at all. I thought to myself: If this thing sinks, we will be in great trouble soon.I only heard the slight sound of the lake water, and Manjiao has already swam ahead. Although this thing looks ugly, its water quality is not inferior to that of a real dragon, and it swims smoothly and steadily, like walking on flat ground.

I don’t know how far Manjiao has traveled. I saw a small island in the distance. I said that the island is actually a palm-sized rock in the middle of the lake, but there is a white jade-like obelisk standing on it, about three meters high. , two meters wide, Manjiao leaned against the small island and stopped swimming. Longlin patted its head, landed first, and then pulled me up. The size of the small island is really limited. When we all step on the ground, Everyone huddled together.

But Manjiao sneaked into the water and disappeared, which completely changed my misunderstanding of it. It seems that it is a giant creature with a gentle personality.

The icy lake shimmered under the moonlight, and Longlin said: Elder, the elders must give orders here, otherwise everyone will die without a place to bury them.

I was taken aback and said: I can't bear such a heavy responsibility, don't scare me.

Long Lin said with a very serious expression: This is not a place for joking. You know that Changbai Mountain is a forbidden place for the Tianling clan. In fact, it is because of this place.

I was a little baffled and said: There, do you mean this small island?

Longlin nodded and said: That's right, it's this small island. Tianling warriors can enter the Changbai Mountains except for unavoidable actions, but they must come here to burn incense and pay homage. This is what Elder He told me personally. Except for the highest-level elders who can enter here, ordinary fighters cannot set foot here at all.

I said: Why are we here? Do we want to burn incense and pray?
Long Lin said: There is a secret passage here, because although the world is big, there is no place for us to live in. Elder He told me that we can take refuge when we have to. We can't make unnecessary sacrifices, because... Speaking of Here he glanced at me and continued: Elder He told me more than once before he was alive that he hoped you could become the actual controller of the Sky Spirit Clan.

I sighed and said: If my father knew what I am like now, he would definitely not have such an idea, and with our current group of people able to overthrow the current ruler of the Celestial Race?
Long Lin said: "No matter what, after death, if the elder can have such ambitions, we will do our best to make it happen."

I thought to myself: So what can you do if you work hard.Then I thought about how loyal they were to my father, but I looked down on them. It’s okay to be incompetent, and there is a problem with being a human being. I feel ashamed when I think about it. Longlin didn’t know that I was thinking wildly. He thought for a while and said: Elder, what do you say? Bar?

I hesitated for a while and said: "I don't understand anything. Since everyone thinks highly of me, let's do it for me. This is also for survival. But since this is a forbidden place for the Sky Spirit Clan, I hope that everyone will try to keep every place here as clean as possible after entering." Original appearance, since it is a forbidden place, there is always something scary about it, we must not ask for trouble.

Longlin said: "Everyone heard what the elder said, if anyone who doesn't obey the order after entering, he will be killed without mercy."

After finishing speaking, he hugged a corner of the stele and said: Come a few people to work hard with me.A few strong ax warriors also bent down and hugged the stele while exerting force, only to hear a crackling sound, the stele moved forward slowly, and then a stone step carved with white jade appeared in my eyes, which was similar to what I had seen before. The difference in the secret passage here is that the bottom of the secret passage here is not pitch black, but blue light is faintly revealed.

Long Lin said: We were forced to enter the forbidden area, if something unexpected happens, everyone can only blame our own bad luck, so please be careful in everything.After all, he took the lead and walked down.

11. Forbidden land

The white jade stone steps are very long. We walked for about half an hour. It is estimated that when we reached the bottom of the lake, a large area of ​​solid land was already in my eyes. What surprised people was that this was actually a huge crystal mine. There were large pieces of crystals of different shapes. Or grow out on the cave roof, stone wall, or the ground. The most commendable thing is that the ground is also a huge crystal stone ground, but it is as smooth as a mirror, as if it was polished by people.

Many people let out small exclamations, because no one thought that the so-called forbidden land was just a crystal mine. It seems that many things are better heard than seen. Perhaps this is also the reason why the so-called treasures of the Sky Spirit Clan spread. We stepped into the mirror-like crystal ground, and saw that the huge cave space was full of blue crystal stones.

Longlin whispered to me: Elder, what is going on here?I feel something is wrong.

I was also a little surprised: It stands to reason that such a mysterious place should at least have some different reactions, but this is just a crystal mine, and I didn't see that it needs to be kept secret. Is it just for this mine?

Longlin said: Impossible, the gold and jewels stored by the Tianling tribe are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. To them, this crystal mine is nothing. There must be a bigger secret here.

The voice echoed faintly because the cave was empty and closed, and I said: But the terrain here is not complicated, the space inside the cave is clear at a glance, and there is no place to hide things.

Long Lin said: Elder He has told me about this place more than once, I believe he must know the secret that exists here, but we can't see it.

At this time, Daxue's humanity said: Since the purpose of coming here is to avoid being chased and killed, why bother to learn the meaningless truth?What are you thinking.

Only then did Long Lin come to his senses and said: You are right, I was overthinking.

I said: Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, and it’s not a bad thing to find out the truth. Since you’re here, you can’t come here for nothing.

No one refuted what I said, and I don't know if it is reasonable or they dare not refute the opinion of "an elder". In short, there was a silence for a while before Long Lin said: Everyone, look around.

The mine is long and narrow, and consists of three caves. Longlin said: Let's go to the middle one first, don't wander around, if you get lost, you will starve to death here.
