Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 140
"I said, you are really persevering. That's good. Ma Wu should be right in front of you. If he wants to talk about the past, let him bring you here."

When it was not my turn to ask questions, the phone hung up.I was worried about Jiang Shan's safety, so I replayed it, and the voice of shutting down came from the phone.

Seeing my nervousness, Ma Wu began to blame himself for being too careless. Li Qing also asked Wang Bin to call the team and ask for support.Seeing Wang Bin's dilemma, I shook my head to Li Qing, saying that this day will come sooner or later.If you don't want to embarrass Wang Bin and the others about writing the report, it's best not to let them get involved.

After Wang Bin heard what I said, he quickly refuted me and said, "No, little brother, am I thinking about this? They have hostages in their hands now. I'm afraid that if we act rashly, the hostages may be in danger."

Li Qing was also thinking about the pros and cons, and then said to Wang Bin: "You don't need to think about this problem, you should ask for support, let's lurk nearby first. Tell the brothers, don't rush in with the siren blatantly."

Everyone was chattering about the countermeasures, and Ma Wu whispered in my ear at this time: "I think Zhao Bai's plot is very simple, which is to resurrect their ancestor, Zhang Xiu. But for the time being, it seems that they haven't collected enough to apply it. Things, if we have a chance to disrupt their plan this time, we might be able to wipe out the Soul Sect from the root."

I guessed this before. When Ma Wen popularized the history of "Soul Sect" to me a long time ago, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He told the conspiracy of these fanatical cult members.

However, I never imagined that after so many years, they hurt countless innocent lives just to resurrect a crazy old thing?
What Ma Wu said about their collection reminded me of the stone slabs that had just been stolen.Is it possible that the characters depicted on the stone slabs are the image of Zhang Xiu himself?
Now my mind has gradually sorted out the clues from the chaos.The strange events before have also begun to become clear.The truth is right in front of you.

I told Li Qing my thoughts. After hearing this, he looked at Wang Bin and both showed the same expression.Serious, but also incredible.

Ma Wu stood up at this time, walked to a large box of Mandshurica mandshurica, and took out a travel bag from it.After unzipping the zipper, I saw that all the items inside were Taoist instruments.

Copper coins, talismans, peach wood swords; ink fountains, paper money, soul-catching bells; tokens, compasses, Bagua mirrors; jade seals, secret books, canopy rulers.This, this is simply a museum of Taoist instruments.

He also dug out a large compass with a diameter of more than half a meter from the bottom of the box, but strangely, no magnetic needle was found on it.It is very similar to the "compass of five elements to destroy demons" that Liu Chunli said in the warehouse.

Wang Bin went to the outer room to make a phone call, and Li Qing, like me, came close to Ma Wu, looked at these Xuanmen objects curiously, and opened his mouth to ask Ma Wu why the compass in his hand did not have a magnetic needle.

Ma Wu explained that this is not a compass in the traditional sense.It is called "Five Elements Extinguishing Demon Compass", which combines the Qimen Dunjia technique and the theory of the Five Elements.When the compass starts, it needs the blood of the caster, and cannot be interrupted during the casting process. Interrupted formations will be invalid, and the casting time is only one stick of incense. cost.

Sure enough, after listening to his explanation, I confirmed my thoughts, and immediately lamented the long history of Chinese culture, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like me.Also, he said that the compass also needed to calculate the direction and so on, and his head immediately got bigger.

In ancient China, to engage in certain industries, one had to learn the art of "Book of Changes".

While I was worried about Jiang Shan, I recalled the scene in Mr. Xing's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" where there is a beggar writing words on the ground. The arrangement of the words seems to be related to the Book of Changes.I am glad that I am living in modern times. If I accidentally travel to ancient times, I am afraid that I am not even qualified to beg for food.

He put away his random thoughts and thought about the dangers he might encounter after meeting Zhao Bai.But Ma Wu told me that it’s useless to think about anything now. Only when you go in can you know what’s going on inside.

And we have to sneak in from another place this time, because it is full of dangers and he has not been inside for a long time, so he can only take advantage of the situation and take things as they come.

Hey, just stopped for two days, and started to live on knife edge again, and what he was facing was not an ordinary character, but Zhao Bai, who was the source of all evil.I hope he can give me more water, otherwise I really have no idea.

Li Qing and Wang Bin went out to deploy an action plan, and I told the grandparents of the Qin family who had just arrived, what happened before.Qin Zhaodi also seemed a little disturbed when she heard that Jiang Shan had been arrested by the Soul Sect.

I comforted Qin Zhaodi, saying that nothing would happen to Jiang Shan, but I didn't know what to do.After all, the Hunzong family has a great career, so they don't need any chips to threaten us.

Elder Qin, on the other hand, seemed to be an old acquaintance with Ma Wu. While the two were reminiscing about the past, Elder Qin said that this day has finally come.I asked him what this sentence meant, and he shook his head without answering.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Ma Wu asked us to choose a convenient magic weapon and prepare to go to the base of the Soul Sect.

I just took two dozen yellow papers and started writing the bookmarks.After all, the other party is a human being, and the talismans I am good at are all about subduing demons, so they are useless.However, considering the events experienced in previous actions, I still drew some common talismans.

Qin Zhaodi looked at it for a long time before she found two knuckles from under the package.I saw that on the knuckles, there are also a series of symbols and inscriptions to ward off evil spirits, such as yin and yang circles.

"I don't need anything else, this is enough." Qin Lao took out an iron fan from his arms, and after unfolding it, there was an unknown talisman engraved on it.Judging from the rust on the fan, it should not have been used for a while.

"Okay, everything is ready, let's go, it's getting dark, we have to crawl forward for a long time."

"What? You won't have to go in through the vent again."

The brigade marched quietly to an area densely populated with cave dwellings, and according to Ma Wu's memory, they found a hidden vent.

Li Qing ordered someone to come over and help us disassemble the medium-sized exhaust fan at the vent, and I took the opportunity to say to Li Qing: "Don't go in this time, there may be experts inside, and ordinary people like you can't deal with them. "

He thought for a while, nodded to me and said: "Okay, but remember, do everything carefully, I'm not worried about you." Speaking of this, he looked at Ma Wu in the distance with his eyes, and continued: "I'm a little Can't trust him."

After thinking about Li Qing's words over and over again, it was indeed true.Not to mention the authenticity of his words, since he has been an undercover agent in the Soul Sect, we have reason to doubt him.However, before Marvin died, he asked me to go to the prison to find him, so he would not push us into a pit of fire.

Hmph, I will cooperate with you first. If you are really a double agent, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.

After preparations were completed, a young comrade wearing a black mask made a gesture to us, which meant that we could enter.Ma Wu took the lead and got in first. Before he could completely disappear into the passage, he withdrew again.

"Thirteen, you should be at the back, so that you don't have to worry about any evil events happening before and after."

Thinking of the first time we climbed the ventilation duct, we encountered the "ghost upper body" incident, but the ventilation duct was still spacious enough.But this time is different, the narrow pipe makes it impossible to change the position casually.So, he nodded to Ma Wu and expressed his agreement.

Only then did he return to the pipeline, followed by Qin Zhaodi and Qin Lao.Finally, I glanced at Li Qing, nodded firmly, and followed.

Let me tell you that Taoism should set a strict height limit for accepting disciples. If it is too high, it may affect many things.For example, climbing ventilation ducts.

If you are kneeling, the height of the pipe is not enough; if you are lying on your stomach, it is inconvenient to move.After walking for a while, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and unconsciously practiced Qi to relieve the sore muscles.

I can't remember how many turns we took before we found the location of the elevator shaft.This time we don't need to fasten the safety rope, because the elevator shaft this time is much larger than last time, and there is a ladder on one side for people to climb up and down.

"How are you? Where are you now?" Li Qing's voice came from the earphones, and I responded in a low voice, saying that I had reached the elevator.

Standing on the ladder, my fear of heights seems to be less serious. One is that I am worried about Jiang Shan's safety, and the other is that it is not the first time that I am standing in such a high position.

According to the signs of the elevator moving up and down, it is preliminarily judged that there are about five floors of building space below.Most of the places where the elevator stops are the top floor and the second floor from the bottom.

And Ma Wu told us to go in from the pipeline on the middle floor.Taking off the iron net at the vent, Ma Wu turned his head and said: "This floor, if there is no change, should be the laboratory. I don't dare to say where Xiaojiang is now, but if you enter from here, you can avoid it." Turn on most security."

After he finished speaking, my phone vibrated and I took it out to see that it was Jiang Nianqing calling.I felt a little nervous, I didn't know how to tell her about it, after all, I asked Jiang Shan to go out to buy water, which caused her to be captured by the Soul Sect.

"What's going on, why is Shanshan's phone turned off?" The voice on the other side of the phone seemed a little anxious. In order not to worry her, she had to lie, saying that Jiang Shan's phone was out of battery.

But Jiang Nianqing seemed to sense that something was wrong with my mood, and questioned me: "Tell me the truth, is something wrong with Shanshan?"

Under her repeated questioning, I shook my head helplessly, intending to explain what happened.At this time, Ma Wu greeted us to go in quickly, thinking that Jiang Shan might be in danger at any time, so he pretended that the mobile phone had no signal, hung up the phone quickly, pressed the off button, and continued on our way.

Jiang Nianqing's haggard and anxious voice was still echoing in my mind, and my heart began to panic.The sudden stop in front saved me from the depressed thoughts.

"What's wrong?" I asked Mr. Qin.He turned his head and gave me a "shh", and then continued to crawl forward at a very slow speed.Not long after, there was a slight vibration from the pipe below us, and then we went down through the open exhaust window one by one.
