?
I'm already shocked to the core by this news, I originally knew that Chen Wenjin wasn't dead and was already shocked enough, but I never could have imagined that Jie Lianhuan would also be alive, is it true or just a trick like Pangzi said, a setup by Wenjin?
Next thing I know, even if Fatso told me that Mute Oil Bottle got married on Changbai Mountain, I'd probably believe it.
Fat boy patted my shoulder and said, "Tianzhen, hold on, when I heard this news at that time, I was also scared enough. But there's more explosive stuff later." I waved my hand weakly and said, "What did she tell you? You can tell me in one breath, I have a severe high-altitude reaction, I'm already oxygen-deficient, don't scare me like this!"
Fatso nodded understandingly and said, "Don't worry, I'll choose my words carefully and try not to scare you." I was too lazy to respond, my mind was a mess, thinking that things had already come to an end. But who knew everything seemed far from over? The more I thought about it, the more I felt like the whole thing was heading in an ominous direction.
Pangzi continued to speak, and at that time he was blocked by Wen Jin's words and couldn't help but ask about Jie Lianhuan's whereabouts. Chen Wenjin then told Pangzi about their encounter.
She didn't know how long she had crawled in the tunnel, but finally saw a glimmer of light ahead. When she poked her head out, she found it was flames.
She emerged from the hole in the ground, and outside, a simple tent was set up next to the firelight. At this moment, there were no people around her, and she immediately thought of the group of people who had escaped from the linked rings. She quickly hid herself, and at this time, she found that she had actually come out of the temple. This place was originally a temple where the Western Queen Mother's country held sacrificial rituals. The temple collapsed, and more than half of it was submerged in water. The hole through which she emerged was surprisingly located in the center of the temple.
Chen Wenjin's heart skipped a beat. She had been to this temple more than ten times before, but she had never seen this entrance. How did it appear?
Just as she was thinking, a man wearing black sunglasses brought out the linked rings, and the linked rings were all limp, being held by the black sunglasses. The black sunglasses seemed to be smiling, saying: "Third Master, you're really something, getting us into such a mess. Shouldn't I give you a good sendoff?" Linked Rings let out a bitter laugh, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said: "Black Master, instead of thinking about how to give me a sendoff, why not think about how you guys are going to get out...cough cough."
Hei Xiazi didn't die? My heart skipped a beat when I heard this. That person's background is unknown, and he has the appearance of a smiling tiger. People like him are the most ruthless, what will he do to Xie Lian?
Hei Xiazi's smile grew wider at the corners of his mouth as he said, "In that case, there's no need for Third Master to trouble himself." After finishing speaking, his expression turned solemn and he jerked his chin towards another burly man beside him. That big fellow was also in a wretched state, it seemed that their group of over ten people had been reduced to just these two now, and naturally they were not resigned to this fate.
The big man nodded and dragged the person to the water's edge, where the water was deep and murky. He directly pushed the person into the water, seemingly intending to drown them.
Chen Wenjin was puzzled, how did the snake venom not kill him? But when she saw him sink into the water, her heart skipped a beat. She quietly dove into the water and quickly swam to the bottom, pulling out Lian Huan, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, and swam outward. Meanwhile, Hei Mangzi probably heard the commotion and fired a barrage of shots into the water.
But Chen Wenjin's dive was too deep, the bullets all became duds, she dragged herself ashore in a rainforest, and before she could even open her mouth, Jie Lianhuan had already grabbed her hand.
Wen Jin saw that his time was running out, and thinking of this group of people, now only himself and him were left. The only living person is about to leave, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying: "It's useless to talk about past things, what else do you have unfinished, say it."
Lian Huan took out a cowhide-wrapped object from his bosom, speaking in a stuttering tone: "Give... give it to the big nephew... bury it there... for longevity... cough."
His voice grew weaker, his eyes also became scattered, Chen Wenjin hastily pinched the person's acupuncture point, bent down her ear, and urgently said: "Changsheng? What else do you know? Jie Lianhuan! Is there anything else?"
But Lian Huan's whole person consciousness had already dispersed, and his mouth began to utter some inexplicable words: "Wu Xiaosan... should, go on the road, cough, cough... you don't go on the road, I'll go on the road."
Chen Wenjin kept shaking: "Unlock the chain! Unlock the chain! Where is that place? What's buried there?"
"Li Lianhua is dead... I, I am... Wu San Sheng... Cough, cough."
Chen Wenjin sighed, knowing that she couldn't ask anything more. She lowered her head to look at the things in her hand, but Lian Huan suddenly sat up with a jerk, his face purpling and twisted, tightly grasping Chen Wenjin's shoulder, his eyes ferocious, and shouting urgently: "Quickly go, quickly go!"
What? Chen Wenjin didn't react for a moment, and at this time, a scattered gunshot sounded in the woods. Who was firing? Hei Mangzi? What happened? Chen Wenjin hurriedly went to untie Lian Huan's hands, and at this time, she heard someone speaking, someone calling: "Lian Huan..."
Chen Wenjin was shocked in his heart, what kind of person is this, he's actually a snake.
These snakes learned to speak like humans, but she had been here for a long time and naturally heard the difference. She immediately pulled out the linked rings and prepared to run, only to find that the linked rings had closed their eyes.
Chen Wenjin felt a pang in her heart, unable to describe the feeling. She put the person by the edge of the water pool and took one last look before turning around and starting to run. In an instant, the sound of rustling echoed behind her, and she knew that the snakes had caught up. She made sure to choose paths with muddy terrain, and while it was a perilous journey, she finally managed to escape and collapsed onto the Gobi Desert.
When she woke up, she found herself in a car, driven by a big black man she had never seen before.
At this time, someone next to her spoke up: "Miss, you've slept for a long time." Chen Wenjin took a look and saw that it was the guy with black glasses. This kid's life is quite tough, he also escaped, and his background doesn't seem simple. There's actually someone waiting for him, looks like she's fallen into his hands.
Chen Wenjin thought of this, and her heart sank. She quickly felt around her body, only to find that the thing Jie Lianhuan had given her was gone. She turned her gaze to Hei Mangzi and said, "What do you want?"
Hei Yanzi still smiled, but raised his hand, and in it was a cowhide-wrapped object. He said: "I saw something interesting." Chen Wenjin knew that resisting now would be futile, so he let out a bitter laugh, brushed aside the hair by his ear, and calmed down, saying: "Speak, what do you want to do?"
Hei Yanzi let out a sound with an unclear meaning, and clapped his hands in appreciation: "Miss is really a person with great courage, I've taken a look at this thing, it's a big oil jar, how about it, are you interested in cooperating?"
Oil jar? Wen Jin had never looked at the things inside, and when she heard Hei Mangzi's words, she couldn't help but think, did this linked ring leave some information in the jar? Where was it? Was it Yun Ding Tian Gong?
At the thought of this, Wen Jin's heart skipped a beat. Whatever was behind that bronze door must never be seen by anyone.
She thought Hei Mangzi didn't know the origin of this thing, thinking it was his own, so he wanted to cooperate. Immediately, she followed Hei Mangzi's words and smiled: "It's okay, I alone can't finish this fight, my surname is Chen, Chen Wenjin, very happy to cooperate with you, may we rise from our coffins and become rich." Finally, she added a joke.
Hei Yanzi burst out laughing and shook hands with Chen Wenjin, saying: "Refreshing. Miss Chen, you're really a heroic woman, I admire you." Chen Wenjin looked at him and said: "Mr., since we're cooperating, at least show some basic sincerity, okay?"
Hei Yanzi smiled and said, "Sincerely, you will naturally see it later." He returned the thing to Wen Jin, who didn't dare to look at that time, fearing being discovered. It wasn't until they set up camp in the evening that he secretly opened it inside his tent, only to find out that there was nothing inside the cowhide except for the cowhide itself, on which there was a hand-drawn map.
I heard this and already understood in my heart, saying: "Is it the map of this place?" The fat man asked strangely: "How did you know?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly. At that time, the map was divided into two halves, one half was given to the Huo family, and the other half, although Grandfather didn't record it, he was under house arrest by Zhang Dafo at that time, so it's likely that the other half was also taken away by Zhang Dafo's people. So, the copy in Wen Jin's hand is probably Zhang Dafo's copy. Then, how did that thing end up in Xie Lian's hands?
What is recorded in the second half of this map?
I told the whole story to Fatso, and he was shocked: "Is there such a thing? It seems that this place has an oil jar?" I said: "I don't know if it's an oil jar or not, but it's definitely a fierce jar. This Heavenly Tomb, also known as the Palace of Kurrajie, is said to be the tomb of the long-lived god worshipped by the Tibetans. According to legend, he was born with the head of a wolf. Whether it's true or false, a grave that can be built on Mount Kunlun is definitely not a good place to go."
Fatso listened and laughed: "Grave robbing requires a big heart, entering the profession must be cautious. Comrade Tianzhen, you can rest assured, although Xiao Ge is not here, Fat Ye will protect you, that Kula Dajie, if he really dares to make trouble, I'll shoot him dead first." Fatso made a shooting gesture with his hand, and I waved my hand, suddenly thinking of a question: "So... Chen Wenjin has collaborated with Hei Xiangzi?"
Fatso nodded and said, "Yes, that Black Blind Man also came from who-knows-where, and got a lot of military equipment." The military equipment Fatso mentioned referred to the goods that would get you shot if caught. As soon as Fatso said this, I couldn't help but think of Passerby A, my heart skipped a beat, this matter was getting more and more complicated.
I vaguely feel that this time's action is not just the actions of us few ordinary people, it seems to have also involved the military and political circles. Otherwise, those equipment that were originally hard to get would be pouring down like rain, with a hint of something fishy going on.
