Touch a corpse to fall in love

After Han Ruoruo was left behind, the bus dragged the struggling Cheng Xiao to the forest. They didn't stop until Cheng Xiao was exhausted, digested all the instant noodles he ate, and the sky was bright.

It is a small river that is not wide.

Cheng Xiao saw that a large area by the river had been cleared and four or five tents were pitched. A dozen strong men were sitting by the river talking, three were patrolling, and a man in his 50s was sitting holding a cigarette pouch. Smoking around the fire next to the tent.

The oldest smoking man looked up at Cheng Xiao and his party, then knocked his cigarette pouch on the stone beside the fire and said, "Let's take a rest first, and leave after eating."

The bus nodded, dragged Cheng Xiao to the river, and removed the tape from his mouth.

Cheng Xiao immediately said: "I'm anxious, can you untie my rope?"

Bus frowned tightly.

"...In this kind of place, if I run away, I guess I'm courting death." Cheng Xiao added.

The bus looked back at the smoking uncle, saw him nodding, then took Cheng Xiao to a big tree, and then untied the rope from his hand.

Cheng Xiao looked at the bus in embarrassment: "I want a large size."

The bus glanced at him indifferently: "It's not good for you to run away."

"I know." Cheng Xiao paused for a while, and walked to the other side of the tree. He did have the idea of ​​running away, but his anxiety was real.After finishing the convenience, Cheng Xiao glanced at the surrounding dense forest, and then walked back to the bus.

"?" The bus raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to the river to wash my hands, don't tie the rope for now, I'm unlikely to escape if you're here."

The bus moved its eyes, looked down at Cheng Xiao slightly, and without saying much, turned around and led him to the river.Others didn't show too much defensiveness.And Cheng Xiao's thin and frail appearance did not have any deterrent effect. After washing his hands, the smoking uncle didn't ask the bus to tie Cheng Xiao's hands again.

A group of 22 people in total.

After eating, everyone walked along the river until the end of the river. The smoking man turned his head to look at Cheng Xiao and said, "Young man, we are not trying to kill you, but we just want to ask you to show us the way. There is a road that goes into the mountain. Later, there was a landslide and it was destroyed. I heard that some of your friends entered the mountain, and I thought you should know the way to enter the mountain, so I asked someone to invite you over."

What the old man said seemed polite, but Cheng Xiao was not stupid.In this situation, he has no other choice but to be obedient.Besides, that's not asking, it's clearly tied.

"Fifth Master?" Cheng Xiao licked his dry lips, recalling what others called this 50-year-old man, and said slowly, "I can probably guess who you are talking about as a friend. But unfortunately, I don't know the way. They have a map in their hands, but I don't." Cheng Xiao thought about what happened during these days, and he understood it immediately.If it is said that the people who entered the mountain belonged to Ouyang's family, and the Silk Book of the Warring States Period was in their hands, then there is a reasonable explanation for all this.The fifth master wanted to enter the mountain, but his purpose might not be simple.

"Oh, you are more accurate than the map." Fifth Master looked forward, flicked the cigarette pouch in his hand with his fingers, and did not make any other movements, his momentum sank.

Cheng Xiao unconsciously took two steps back.

"Young man, if you lead the way well, you can still see that woman from before." Fifth Master's voice didn't appear to be harsh, on the contrary, it was very gentle, like a grandfather telling his grandson what to have for lunch today. .

Cheng Xiao's heart sank. He didn't mention Han Ruoruo all the way, but he was actually saying that he didn't care about Han Ruoruo. He has no weakness now.But this fifth master broke his mind all at once, and used Han Ruoruo as a bargaining chip...

"You won't tell me that she's still alive?" Cheng Xiao asked calmly.

Fifth Master let out a muffled laugh from his nasal cavity, and his eyes narrowed together: "The financial resources of the Han family can be counted in City A, such a useful person, how could I be willing to let her live or die. But you, it's not like what the information says So easy to be confused? Hehe, I know you have a lot of doubts now, such as why Young Master Chen left her behind. Boy, there is really nothing to think about this question. "

Cheng Xiao's thoughts gradually expanded following Fifth Master's words, some fragments and thoughts flashed in his mind, and finally there was a surprised expression on his face: "Prevent us from escaping together?"

Hearing the words, Fifth Master nodded with a gentle smile: "I don't want to deal with you, I just want you to be obedient. As long as you are willing, you will definitely find a way into the mountain."

"If you want something from me, why are you still hiding it?" Cheng Xiao withdrew his surprised expression and turned cold, "Your purpose for entering the mountain, the purpose of the other team, and why do you think I know the way? You Gotta give me an explanation. Without a clue, I don't think I'll ever find my way."

Fifth Master smiled.

"This is the dense forest in the east of the Qinling Mountains, just one hill away from Lishan Mountain. Based on your understanding of the whole matter, it's not difficult to guess our purpose. We don't harm anyone, we just want to find the real imperial tomb. Ouyang The two brothers at home are here to sacrifice, and the sacrifice is your zombie friend. I know that you and that zombie are connected, and if you want, you can definitely find the way. How about it, is it detailed enough?"

Cheng Xiao frowned. He admitted that the reason he didn't want to lead the way was because he was not sure whether the fifth master was good or bad, and would it be bad for himself and A Shu?Judging from his tone now, he seems to know more about Ah Shu than himself.Judging by his determined appearance and the many information he knows, the identity of this fifth master is definitely not simple.He doesn't believe in the so-called saying that only looking for the emperor's tomb will not harm anyone, even if he is killed.

"Anyone can do the thing of crossing a river and tearing down a bridge. Why should I believe that you will let me go when the time comes?"

The fifth master was happy: "I have no reason to kill you. With that zombie around, I can't kill you either. Don't worry, I'm really here to help you this time, otherwise Young Master Chen wouldn't come with me."

When Cheng Xiao heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the bus, swishing through various questions in his mind, and gradually thought of some possibilities.Daba was his best friend for four years in college. The friendship between the two these years is not built, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Ouyang Fulin is a good example.Cheng Xiao used to trust him so much, but in the end it was just a scam.Ah Shu fell into the hands of Ouyang's family, probably Ouyang Fulin's credit is also indispensable.Thinking about it this way, Cheng Xiao felt chills. For a strong person, strong tolerance and acting ability are very important, otherwise A Shu would not have heard nothing for so long.

Ashu's appearance flashed in his mind, and Cheng Xiao immediately glanced towards the southeast as if aware of it.This strange feeling made him believe in Fifth Master's words immediately.

If Ah Shu was really caught in the mountains, it was impossible for him to ignore him.As for the fifth master and his group, it seemed that the fifth master was not an easy master to deal with, but Ouyang Fulin was not a kind person, so he simply let them fight on their own.He just needs to find Ah Shu and take him away.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao nodded and said, "I'll take you there, but I still want to know how Han Ruoruo is doing?"

"The old locust tree has already become a spirit. As long as we enter the mountain, the old locust tree will let her go." Fifth Master narrowed his eyes.

Only then did Cheng Xiao realize it, no wonder those big guys had weird expressions when the bus talked about the old locust tree.He nodded immediately, glanced sideways at the silent bus, and frowned quietly.

Not to mention that the old pagoda tree was signaled by the bus. You must know that Cheng Xiao has been friends with the bus for so many years. In his impression, the bus has never been so quiet.After this reunion, the bus was too quiet and indifferent.This change made him very uneasy, so he subconsciously took precautions against the bus.This is also the reason why he kept silent when he clearly had the opportunity to exchange news with the bus.

Maybe Cheng Xiao didn't notice at this time that his vigilance was getting worse.After going through so many things, he finally learned to be wary of those around him.

The fifth master patted Cheng Xiao on the shoulder, and walked forward with emotion: "The zombie has a special status, and the Ouyang family will definitely make good use of it. Didn't you always want to know his identity? I just happen to know something." Cheng Xiao subconsciously changed direction and walked forward, and immediately waved to the people behind him with a smile on his face, and followed Cheng Xiao, "He is a famous general of the Great Qin Empire, and he has a close relationship with the famous Meng Tian. I'm not very clear about erasing the traces. I just guessed from the conditions of his tomb that the person who sent him to the coffin was a person with a high status and a very close relationship with him. You who study history know the political situation of the Qin Dynasty. Li Si He and Meng Tian have always supported Fu Su as the crown prince. Meng Tian's cronies must also be Fu Su's people. When this zombie died, Hu Hai was only in his teens. The internal struggle of the Su faction, or... the elixir."

Cheng Xiao glanced at Fifth Master, clearly expressing his doubts.

The fifth master continued: "The tomb in Xiaoxian County has hidden mysteries. Apart from Shihuang and Fusu, I can't think of anyone else who would build it. One is power and financial resources, which are not enough for non-royal people; the other is Whether it is necessary or not. Xiao Rang, a general, no matter whether he has military exploits or not, he is unlikely to receive this honor. Unless he has a special use or a different relationship with Shihuang and Fusu."

Cheng Xiao recalled that the bus had said to Ashu [don’t tell me that Qin Chao is always serving his young master like this], he quietly turned his head and glanced at the silent bus behind him, his heart skipped a beat, and he said patiently, “You know It's quite clear."

"I don't know, you don't believe it anyway." Fifth Master said cheerfully.

"Well, I don't fully believe it. But what you said makes sense." Cheng Xiao is now a little curious about the real identity of the fifth master. "After you find the imperial tomb, what are you going to do? Don't tell me that you have to use it too... Xiao Make a sacrifice." Cheng Xiao almost called out Ah Shu's name, but Cheng Xiao changed his words in time.

"I said I wouldn't harm anyone." The fifth master shook his head helplessly, "Compared to Ouyang's family, I'm really not a villain. Do you know the process of offering sacrifices? To stay awake, while enduring the torture of Ling Chi, you also have to endure the pain of stripping your soul. There is no way, no matter who makes Xiao Rang immortal, he won’t die if he doesn’t do this.”

"You and Ouyang Fulin and the others know spells as well." Cheng Xiao came to a conclusion with certainty.

"A little bit, not much." Fifth Lord smiled, "There is something terrifying inside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, how dare I go if I don't have any skills."

"Why are you looking for the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"

"Research." The fifth master replied decisively, "I am a scholar, and after a lifetime of research, I discovered the clues of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Later, I met people from Ouyang's family and discovered their family secrets by accident."

Cheng Xiao faintly felt that the other party was wrapping him into a bigger fog.But he had more important things to ask.

"I want to hear what you think about [what happened to me]." Cheng Xiao followed the voice in his heart to choose a direction, and looked back at the many big men behind him.

Fifth Master waved his hand, and two big men stepped forward to open the way.This is an unexposed virgin mountain forest, with luxuriant branches and leaves blocking the direction of progress, and the thick moss and fallen leaves under the feet creaked and creaked under everyone's feet.

"Your fate is reversed and you should be robbed. It is normal for them to come to you. You also know that all these things are calculated by others." Fifth Master popped a flash of light, and a colorful snake fell on the ground. On the ground, "Sorry, I don't know who is behind the scenes, so it's useless for you to ask me."

Seeing that the snake was only immobilized and not dead, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but look at Fifth Master twice.

"Did Ouyang's family do it?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Fifth Master smiled: "Of course not."

"I thought you would say yes." Cheng Xiao also smiled, his mind is much more brilliant now than before.

"There are things they don't want you to know."

"Well, just like a child in the rebellious period, the more you stop him, the more you want to know." Cheng Xiao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Why did the Ouyang family sacrifice, who did they sacrifice, and what kind of identity is Ah Shu?" As a sacrifice, why do some people want him to live and others want him to die? I know you can't answer me all, but if it doesn't affect the overall situation, you can tell me some in moderation." He stopped, Cheng Xiao's expression was so serious for the first time , "You tell me, I will teach you how to break the formation."

Hearing this, Fifth Master squinted his eyes and looked around.The dense forest, which was still showing a little bit of light just now, suddenly had wisps of dark purple mist, which looked quite strange.

"Are you sure I can finish the story before the poisonous fog fills the air?" Fifth Master smiled more kindly, and looked at Cheng Xiao with a hint of appreciation, "Actually, without this poisonous formation, I would tell you everything I know .”
