Strongest Worker

Gu Yue walked slowly to Li Qing and asked softly, "do you know what's underwater?"

Li Qing looked up slightly and stared at Gu Yue with a very strange look: "you already know, don't you?"

"Tut Tut, it's not like talking to a life-saving benefactor."

His face was slightly heavy. Li Qing stood up and gently relaxed: "if I guessed right, those things... Come from here?"

"HMM." Gu Yue nodded gently.

Xie Yuyan stood aside and didn't understand the conversation between the two people. He asked directly, "what do you mean? Have you seen this underwater thing?"

"Yes, not only I've seen it, but you've also seen it." Li Qing said, biting his middle finger with his teeth, then bent down and stirred his hand into the water.

Under the turbulent current, a large black shadow suddenly surged up and quickly moved towards Li Qing. Xie YuYan's pretty face suddenly changed color and stepped back half a step. Hu Feng behind him hurriedly welcomed him and protected his young lady.

At this time, Li Qing had taken out his hand from the water like lightning, and at the same time, he threw another thing onto the river bank.

The crowd gathered around and saw a strange black fish struggling on the ground. The fish desperately slapped his body on the shore. While others were stunned, one jumped up and wanted to rush into the river again, but Li Qing, who was guarding the bank, kicked him back, hit the stone wall, and then fell to the ground.

Someone was quick eyed and quick handed. He directly pulled out the dagger and nailed it firmly.

The old gun squatted down, lit it with a flashlight and opened his mouth in amazement: "what the hell is this? It's too ugly to even have eyes."

"Their eyes have degenerated after being underground for too long." Li Qing stepped back and stared at the little guy who was pierced by the dagger, "It's a strange fish of the Lateolabrax family. You can see from its teeth that it eats meat. We found it in the harbor north bay near the port two years ago. Many people died at that time. Later, we invited a group of biology experts to come, but they haven't seen it. They suspect it's a new species that hasn't been found. They always appear in groups, so they have such a big shadow Son. "

"It's this kind of thing." Xie Yuyan understood and snorted, "we suspected that fish eggs were parasitic on those bronze boxes before they were taken to Lingang. If the previous inference was always correct, wouldn't it be in this underground river..."

"That's right." Gu Yue nodded with a smile. "On the riverbed of this underground river, there are all those things."

Xiumei frowned slightly. Xie Yuyan looked up at the ancient Moon: "what's the use?"

Gu Yue didn't answer, but asked Xie Yuyan another question: "you should have investigated, what's in the bronze box?"

Li Qing looked at Xie Yuyan, cleared his throat and interrupted: "it's a kind of strong acid, rotten human tissue and some other traditional Chinese medicine. I discussed with Yuyan at that time and thought it should be an ancient sacrificial method."

Gu Yue nodded. Suddenly, with a smile of evil spirit, she gently turned her body and focused her eyes on Caiyun: "your Hakka people have a formula for sacrifice, which is called human sacrifice. Have you ever heard of it?"

Caiyun held the head of rhubarb dog and heard Gu Yue's question. Jiao suddenly trembled and raised her pale little face: "I just heard grandpa say that... I haven't done it for a long time."

"That's nature. Such an evil sacrificial method was abolished more than a thousand years ago." Gu Yue said with a smile, "During the reign of emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Jing served as the general of Longxi town. He issued strict orders to prohibit the human sacrifice of the Hakka people and cut off the heads of a group of witches and gods. But before that, the activity of human sacrifice has been inherited in your Hakka tribes for thousands of years."

Caiyun's small face was full of surprise: "who are you? How do you know so clearly? Grandpa once told me that few of the Hakka people know these things now."

As like as two peas were speaking, Hu Feng arranged for several men to assemble the engineers and Shovel them together. The end of the rope was tied to the clothes, and the water was salvaged. After a while, the bronze box was exactly the same as that before Li Qing.

"This ghost is old." the old gun knocked on the box with a shovel, then turned around and bowed respectfully at Gu Yue, "Miss Gu, please dial one or two more."

"It's nothing. It's just a sacrificial activity of the Hakka people." Gu Yue looked at Li Qing and said slowly, "you should remember that when we last carried out a mission in Xilong, when the subway was rich in minerals, the compass went wrong, and finally took the wrong road."

Li Qing nodded: "remember."

"West Asia is not only rich in magnetite, but also rich in pyrite. The earliest generation of Hakkas used pyrite to make sulfuric acid and soaked prisoners and slaves in tribal wars together with medicinal materials for sacrifice. They believe that the sacrifices corroded in acid are really accepted by their ancestors. After all, they can't see it. It's like being enjoyed Same. "

Li Qing still looked at a loss: "but what does the bronze box of the underground river represent?"

"Isn't it simple?" Gu Yuexiu frowned. "It's just an underground river. How can it be called the water of the yellow spring? Of course, there should be some other seasonings in it."

Li Qing was slightly stunned and suddenly woke up. The original purpose of all this is to create a Styx river! In order to achieve the goal, the ancients really did not break the means.

"Now we have to find a way to cross the river." Xie YuYan's beautiful eyes blinked and said faintly, "we can still follow a tail. The Hound is very hungry and will bite."

Li Qing said in a deep voice, "you can't go underwater. Go over the water."

This suggestion is not difficult to achieve. Hu Feng hit the rope to the other bank with a nail gun, nailed it to the stone wall, and then fixed the other end of the rope, so as to form a sliding rope on the river, which can make people climb over smoothly.

Li Qing cut several pieces of rope with a dagger, pressed down the rhubarb dog and tied its legs.

"Good, rhubarb, don't make trouble." Caiyun patted the head of rhubarb dog and looked at Li Qing anxiously, "are we... Going to be okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with you." Li Qing grinned at Caiyun, tied the rope tightly and stood up. He waved to the two Xie bodyguards behind him, "put it on the rope."

The two Xie bodyguards picked up the rhubarb dog upside down. Naturally, the latter felt uncomfortable and immediately howled again.

"You follow me," Li Qing said to Caiyun. "And this, hide it and don't be seen by others."

Caiyun looked down and saw that Li qingsai gave himself a pistol with a dark luster.

The crowd passed the underground river smoothly. Li Qing untied the frightened rhubarb dog again, rested in place, and then prepared to continue on the road.

Hu Feng cut the rope with a dagger, but deliberately left traces of passing here.

Xie Yuyan took the flashlight from Li Qing's hand and looked around: "there are so many holes, which one?"

"The road in the middle." Gu yuetou answered without looking up.

"Where's the map? Show me the map." Xie Yuyan stretched out a jade hand to Hu Feng. She obviously doesn't fully believe in Gu Yue at the moment.

Hu Feng quickly turned in his backpack and found the map and handed it to Xie Yuyan. The latter took it in his hand, sat down against the cold stone wall and watched quietly with a flashlight.

The old gun drank water and moved Huo Yi aside. He muttered and didn't know what to say.

Li Qing looked down at the electronic watch on his wrist. It had been two or three hours since they entered here. It should be getting dark outside now, but they still have no clue inside.

"How is it?" Li Qing came to Xie Yuyan and asked in a low voice.

"Not optimistic." Xie Yuyan said with a small mouth, "we are indeed moving forward according to the route marked on the map, but I always think something is not right."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know." Xie Yuyan shook his head and stood up from the ground. "Take the middle road and start now."

Li Qing pulled up her backpack and stared at the dark hole in front of her. She felt that strange feeling again. Will Zhenfan ancient building really exist at the end of this road?

The others walked into the cave one by one. Li Qing carried his backpack on his body, turned his head, looked at the last remaining ancient moon, smiled and waved, "let's go."

"Li Qing." Gu Yue took her eyes back from the surging underground river. "If I died here, how would you commemorate me?"

Li Qing was stunned and shone a flashlight on Gu Yue's cheek.

The strong glare made Gu Yue instinctively turn her head to one side, but she still couldn't hide the sadness of despair on her delicate cheek.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Qing asked with a confused face. "It's strange for me since you came here. What's the matter?"

"No, I just ask." Gu Yue lifted the waterproof bag, wiped it from Li Qing and walked into the deep cave.

Li Qing followed behind, raised his hand and knocked on the cold stone wall, muttering to himself: "no, this place is too strange..."

The so-called "weird" in his words actually means that this place is too ordinary and normal. Although the group of strange fish in the underground river made some waves, it is not new. From the beginning to the end, there was nothing that could really stimulate Li Qing's nerves, which was what he was really worried about.
