Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Fighting

Like Mochizuki Kazuki, this cross road was in front of them. After Chaozi crouched on the ground and inspected it, he analyzed that there were traces of walking on both sides, and it was impossible to determine the specific whereabouts.Now they were faced with another multiple-choice question, and this choice was naturally handed over to Cha Wenbin, who was now the absolute leader of the team. For this baseless choice, Cha Wenbin could only resign himself to his fate. He chose the right side and was about to set off when Zhuo Xiong suddenly said, "They went to the left side." "To the left?" Chaozi asked, "Why are you so sure they went to the left?"

Zhuo Xiong pointed to the stone wall behind him and said: "Come and see, there is a trace of a small arrow." Sure enough, at the position where Zhuo Xiong's spotlight illuminated, there was a pale white arrow mark, the lines were very rough. The appearance was carved with small stones in a hurry, looking at the traces, it is very fresh. "This should be my father." At this point, Zhuo Xiong paused, but his face returned to normal immediately, "My father used to be a carpenter, and when he was doing carpentry, he would often draw this kind of arrow for the convenience of remembering the position of the tenon. It is used to mark the direction, but he draws arrows differently from others, there will be a tick on the tail, do you see a small tick on the arrow?"

Zha Wenbin took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a very faint little hook at the end of the arrow, probably because he didn't use enough force, so he really couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.This discovery is really important. Cha Wenbin looked at him overjoyed and said, "How did you find out?" Zhuo Xiong looked at Cha Wenbin and said firmly: "After I came down first, I looked around the terrain, and I saw it by accident. This must be the mark he made for us. Alive. Brother Wen Bin, believe me, go to the left, maybe you can catch up with them."

"Silly boy, if you don't believe me, who do we believe!" Cha Wenbin patted Zhuo Xiong on the shoulder, turned around, and said to them, "Listen to Zhuo Xiong, everyone, follow closely. Brother Zhuo Xiong is walking in front, you stand In the middle, Chaozi and I stayed in the rear, try not to talk on the road, use hand gestures if you need to communicate, and carefully check if there are other signs on the side of the road." Just as he was about to open the way, Zha Wenbin said, "Especially you Miss Leng, it's really dangerous here, do you understand?" Leng Yiran looked at the stern expressions of all the guys in the group, especially the stern face in the team, who looked fierce and evil, and didn't look like a good person no matter what, she stuck out her tongue at Cha Wenbin , made a grimace, and agreed.Cha Wenbin was still worried, so he let her walk in front of him, took out another talisman from his pocket and asked her to stuff it into his pocket, and the team officially started to move.

This kind of passage inside the mountain is nothing more than two forms: artificial excavation and mountain movement, but looking at it here, it should be a typical mountain tear caused by an earthquake, because the scattered stones and erratic terrain along the way prove that here No artifacts.It's just that strange corpse also made them frown. Judging from the body shape, this thing is the Di person they met before.However, because I have seen too many strange things recently, except for Leng Yiran, the others are still calm, so Cha Wenbin reluctantly dismissed them by saying that there are many animals in the mountains that he has never seen before.

Trucks can be driven through the big cracks, and the small ones can only be crawled on the ground. However, no one complained about the dangers of the past few days. Leng Yiran still felt that this kind of adventure was very fresh and exciting, and she didn't feel tired at all.The footprints in front still showed that there were only four people, and every one kilometer or so, Zhuo Xiong could find the mark left on the stone wall.This also made them feel more confident. After all, someone was exploring the way ahead, which at least proved to be safe for the time being.In certain road sections, it is necessary to stop and move stones. Looking at these landslides, most of them were caused by the previous movements. Fortunately, they are not big, except for some small stones rolling down occasionally, and even a bug is not seen.

It gave Cha Wenbin the feeling that they seemed to be walking upwards this way, because there was a woman mixed with them, and the speed of progress was not very fast, until the second body of Di people appeared on the ground. The corpse was lying on the ground, the wound on the neck had not clotted, and the black blood was oozing out, which also made them fully understand the Di people for the first time. The parts above the neck of the Di people are not any different from those of humans. In terms of facial features, one can even recognize that this is a young male Di person, but his body is too weird, without any clothes, and the position below the neck is covered with The scales, although now polluted by blood, can still reflect the sparkling light from the spotlights.The bodies of these Di people are larger than normal people, especially the chest cavity, which is more rounded and prominent.Judging from this corpse, this guy seems to have no waist, that is, no pelvis. What's even more peculiar is his legs. Di people's legs are very short, and a pair of short and thick legs are directly separated from the body. The feet are not human feet at all, but like ducks, they are webbed!

The Di people's hands are also covered with scales, and the palms are also webbed, unlike humans!It's just that he was still holding a very weird bronze weapon in his hand. Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong checked his wounds, and analyzed that he was killed by a knife, and his throat was cut directly.They have all seen the ferocity of the Di people. Although judging from their physical structure, these people seem to be stronger in water warfare, but they will not end up being killed by someone, so Chaozi said that the person who cut the knife Definitely a master! This somewhat made Cha Wenbin nervous. He is not afraid of fighting ghosts, but it is hard to say when fighting people. What's more, this fresh corpse of Di people means that there must be other Di people nearby. Patrol and sentry, they have entered the core area of ​​the Di people.

According to what Lao Wang said, the Zhuanxu tribe with birds as their totems annexed the Diren Kingdom with fish as their totems, and then formed a new Yufu totem, so it cannot be ruled out that one of the surviving tribes fled to this valley continue to thrive.So in a sense, as Zhuanxu is an orthodox descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the Di people will naturally regard us Han people as an enemy of extermination, and the new generation of Yufu King will naturally become the enemy in the minds of the Di people, so they aggressively attacked Yufu. The mausoleum of King Fu is justifiable. As for them, in the minds of the Di people, people who are not of our race must have different hearts, and it is not wrong to kill them.

It's just that what makes Cha Wenbin worry about is the step. The Di people came out from there. Why did King Yufu go in from there in the end? Aren't they enemies?Besides, how did the Di people know about the entrance to hell?Judging from the body of the Di people, they are quite strong, and they also mastered quite mature bronze smelting technology, and the scales should have played a considerable role in the armor at that time. How could they lose to the Han people at that time?But all of this, Zha Wenbin just buried it deeply in his heart. After calling everyone to be more vigilant, the team's forward speed also accelerated. If this is really a checkpoint, it won't be long before people will find out that if they are chased by those guys, even though they are on land, they will be a little bit different. Can the grasp stand against this primordial, unknown force?They have almost no weak points except the neck.

Careful Zhuo Xiong found that there were bloodstains scattered on the ground in front of him. Chaozi, a professional, casually picked up the bloody dust on the ground and sniffed it. He patted his chest and was sure it was human blood! "Human blood?" Zhuo Xiong became nervous all of a sudden, "That means someone was injured, Brother Wen Bin, should we hurry up!" The messy things here have disturbed his heart, Cha Wenbin wished he could find Zhuo Yugui as soon as possible, and then go down the mountain immediately.So he immediately urged to speed up the progress, and the team was almost trotting on the road. After turning over a few huge falling rocks, a ladder that was obviously excavated by man went up, and the lights went up the ladder in one fell swoop, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance. It seemed to be at least two hundred meters long. He was sighing, Zhuo Xiong Said: "Shh, turn off the lights, look up there." A few people immediately turned off the spotlights, looked up, and saw a few rays of light at the top of the steps vaguely dangling randomly... The primitive society of the Di people would never have such a thing, so there is only one possibility to use lights: Mochizuki Kazuki! In order not to startle the snake, everyone just nestled quietly in place, even adjusting their breathing to the minimum frequency, for fear of revealing their position, but fortunately, the light disappeared not long after.But Cha Wenbin still held Zhuo Xiong down and asked him to wait five minutes longer. After a while, there was no movement, Zhuo Xiong was the only one in the team to turn on the spotlight, and the others followed carefully in the order of the team.The stone steps are not neatly repaired, many places are missing a piece, some places are wide, some places are narrow, it seems that it has been in disrepair for a long time, and with the elevation angle close to 60 degrees, it is really not easy to climb up So easy, as long as one person in the team fails to stand still and rolls down, it will cause a series of reactions. I don't know if it's because Lao Wang is getting old. He almost made such a mistake several times. Cha Wenbin, who was standing behind him, was in a cold sweat. Except for Leng Yiran, everyone's physical strength has been seriously exhausted in the past few days. The physical work of mountain climbing is now testing their spirits.Zhuo Xiongzhi was concerned, so the speed was naturally faster, but he led the way with the physique of a scout, which made it difficult for the people behind him. His face was already panting, and the old Wang could only breathe out, unable to hear the incoming. angry. This step took them a full half an hour. The moment they climbed to the top, a group of people sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Mochizuki must have rested here just now.Cha Wenbin glanced back, if he rolled down here, he would probably fall so badly that there would be nothing left. Behind them was a low cave, because they were in a hurry to catch up, and they rested for five minutes, Zhuo Xiong was the first to get in, and after a while, he came out again, made a silent gesture, and said softly: "There is a cave ahead." A lot of fire, if the situation is really wrong, we will withdraw." "Huoguang?" Cha Wenbin asked puzzled. Zhuo Xiong pointed behind him and said with a gesture: "Through this hole, there seems to be a huge pit below. I saw countless fire lights beating and noisy sounds. I am afraid that we have reached the old den of the Di people." Now that he's here, Zha Wenbin has made various preparations. If he doesn't take a look, the knots in his heart may never be solved: "Go and have a look first, but you must be quiet." Several people bowed their backs and filed in. As soon as they entered the cave, a gust of cold wind blew in front of them, making them shiver involuntarily.Zha Wenbin was the first person to see the panorama below, oh my god, it really is a huge pit below, it is better to say that the mountain here is a huge hollow, as if it has been hollowed out from the inside, At a glance, I saw a little bit of fire light densely scattered below.With the light of these fires, one can even see the houses built of stones lined up in an orderly manner. There are three particularly bright fires standing in the middle of them, burning blazingly, but in this darkness, it is not so easy to see them clearly, but Cha Wenbin always feels that this village is very familiar.No matter how you look at it, it is somewhat similar to the village at the foot of Qifeng Mountain outside. No, it is not. Except for the different materials, the layout of the two is exactly the same.As for the brightest flame in the middle, isn't it the location of Gujing?Someone copied that village completely here! "They must have touched it, brother Wenbin, do you think we should go down too?" Chaozi asked in a low voice. Leng Yiran at the side immediately followed up: "Does it need to be said? This place is exciting to look at. If we can make everything here public, it might be the biggest archaeological discovery at the end of this century, haha!" Cha Wenbin really had a headache for this girl, thinking why didn't your Gu worm stay on her for a while, why did you wake her up so early!Seeing Zhuo Xiong on the side frowned, Cha Wenbin decided to go down and take a look: "Don't make any noise, turn off the lights, go down in the dark, don't get separated from the team, there are dangers everywhere." Although there are steps on the way down the mountain here, it is much more tiring than the climb up the mountain just now, and it is in the dark, so we can only move slowly one by one, holding hands, while we have to beware of people, and at the same time Be careful not to be spotted by Mochizuki. It took them more than an hour before they managed to get down to the middle of the mountain. Along the way, there was nothing else but the "cracking" sound from the burning fire in the distance. It was as quiet as walking in the village outside. Cha Wenbin knew that this was definitely not a good omen, so he decided to go Squat down here and check the situation first. At this time, a loud "haha" laugh suddenly came out not far away. It was an extremely crazy laugh. The nerves of several people immediately tensed up. When they looked up, there was a faint person under the three big torches. The shadow is shaking! "It's them! It seems that they have found it, Wen Bin, without further ado, we must speed up!" It was Lao Wang who spoke, and among this group of people, he was the only one who had seen Mochizuki Kazuki. "Touch the entrance of the village first. Later, Lao Wang, take Miss Leng and hide aside first. Don't expose it. The four of us try to find a way to touch it. Didn't you say that without the sun wheel in my hand, they are useless Is it?" Cha Wenbin weighed the wheel-shaped bronze vessel in his hand and said. "I heard from Brother Jiang that the sun gear is the only key. As for how to get it, we actually don't know." Chaozi was already excited while holding the samurai sword in his hand. I am afraid that there is a natural hatred for soldiers and the Japanese nation. This is something that is carried in his bones and cannot be changed.Several people continued to move forward with their waists bent, and they arrived at the entrance of the village in a short while.According to his memory of the terrain of the village, Cha Wenbin quickly made a route. The only difference is that the entrance of the village outside is surrounded by stone men and stone horses, but here is a huge stele with crooked depictions of three people. No one can explain what it means. Two huge bronze pillars are erected on both sides of the road. The top of the pillars is a pot-shaped utensil, and a raging fire is burning inside. Lao Wang looked at these pillars and sighed: "It was not easy for the ancients to make fire. They used some fire-resistant grease as fuel. I have visited many cemeteries, and some passages were opened, and there were still fires inside. I don't know how many thousand years they burned gone." After entering the village, Cha Wenbin carefully entered a house, inspected it, and made sure that there was no danger here, so he let Lao Wang and Leng Yiran stay here. The girl refused at first, but was coaxed by Cha Wenbin He was persuaded after being scared, and before he left, Cha Wenbin drew a circle on the ground with the Seven Star Sword, and told them to wait in the circle, but felt it was wrong, so he took the six soul-destroying nails in the bag Come out, distribute it to the two of them, and tell them that if they encounter any weirdness, they should throw this thing at them. The talisman carved on the Miehun Nail, Zha Wenbin only felt that it was much more powerful than the talisman paper drawn by himself. Although it was vicious, it could definitely suppress those unclean things.It is only a hundred meters away from the fire platform in the middle, if something happens, we can rescue it immediately.After the arrangements were made, Hengroulian and Zhuo Xiong were in a team, and Cha Wenbin and Chaozi were in a team. These two scouts had strong tactical qualities. After checking their gestures with each other, the four of them took the things in their hands to go. Touch it. The winding path is exactly the same as in the village. In the open place in the middle, three huge bronze pillars rise from the ground. Cha Wenbin is sure that this is the biggest torch he has ever seen in his life. It is more than 30 meters high. They may not be able to surround the pillar.A huge flame was burning at the top of the pillars, and three pillars were lined up.And below, one of the men was holding a weapon against the back of an old man, as if he wanted him to go behind the pillar, but the old man was afraid of something and did not dare to go forward. Although they couldn't see what was behind the pillar, but they all recognized that old man, who was it not Zhuo Yugui? "Damn it, MP5 is made in Germany, these sons of bitches really paid a lot of money!" Chaozi said, looking at the May 4th pistol in his hand from Lao Wang, gnashing his teeth. "How sure are you?" Zha Wenbin really didn't understand this kind of thing. Chaozi looked at the terrain and said: "Once we rush out from here, we will face an open area of ​​nearly 100 meters, so there is nowhere to hide, and everything will be exposed within their range. The May 4th style is effective. The range is only 20 meters at best, and they have an overwhelming advantage over us in terms of firepower, so we must create a little confusion to attract their attention, otherwise it will be difficult for Zhuo Xiong and I to get close." Then, Chao Zi gestured again Had an exchange with Zhuo Xiong who was also lying on the ground not far away, and the two had basically the same views. Cha Wenbin thought for a while, and took out a few things from his pocket, a piece of white paper, a stick of incense, a writing brush and an inkstone: "I can only buy you a minute, this little trick, I will I guess they can't see it at a glance." Chaozi measured the distance with his thumb, nodded and said: "OK, one minute is one minute, then try it first!" Cha Wenbin next to him had already conjured up a villain with white paper like a conjuring trick, and painted facial features with a brush dipped in cinnabar, and wrote a series of small characters on the back. He retreated to a hidden place alone, and clicked Burning incense, half a minute later, Cha Wenbin said: "Okay, get ready!" While talking, Chaozi saw a bare-bottomed boy walking towards the pillar with a lantern and a smile. "What's that?" Chaozi said with wide-eyed eyes. Cha Wenbin smiled slightly: "It's a little trick, I made a dummy, it has no soul, only a form, and it will dissipate in a minute at most, and then it's up to you." Mochizuki Kazuki, who was forcing the old man Zhuo under the pillar, was startled when he heard the "giggle" laughter, and when he looked back, a child was walking towards him! Mochizuki Kazuki hasn't seen anyone since arriving in this ghostly place. The child kept smiling at himself with a lantern on, making his scalp numb. The child's face was very white, without a trace of blood. The child flickered in an instant, and ran towards the distant darkness like flying. Mochizuki Kazuki picked up the MP5 and left a sentence: "Look at him, I'll go and see!" and chased after him. Chaozi made a gesture to Zhuo Xiong, "Go!" The two ran forward silently and quickly, the quality of scouts was perfectly reflected at this moment. Within the scope of the photo, the direction was constantly changing and advancing rapidly. In less than fifteen seconds, Chaozi was ready for the next attack! "Who?" Momoi Qianxue's ears twitched, and her body immediately turned around. Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong immediately separated, and each moved aside, making a large-scale shift. "噗", the two magical weapons were unsheathed, and the two cold and beautiful faces immediately stared at their respective targets. This is a tacit understanding! "Dang!" The fire flashed, and Chao Zi had already confronted Qianxue for the first time. Chao Zi only felt a shock in his mouth, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "This girl is so strong!" In a flash, Kunizun Onimaru came towards Chaozi's chest with a strong wind.Chaozi didn't have time to withdraw the knife to defend, so he could only dodge back, and with a "hoo", a huge cut was made on the clothes on his chest, and he could feel the blade just past his skin . "What an amazing girl!" Chaozi spit out a mouthful of phlegm, pinched the samurai sword in his hand, moved his body suddenly, and with a powerful slash, he slashed towards Qianxue's face, and Qianxue raised the sword Come to block, "dang" after the sound of metal collision, she spurted out a mouthful of blood, presumably the previous internal injury relapsed, it's not that Chaozi doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, but his time is too short, and his left hand turned into a fist The palm hit Qianxue's snow-white neck fiercely, and with a cold snort, the girl fell into a coma. Where's Zhuo Xiong over there?Although Chiyo waved the red Shuzhu Wan Koji vigorously, the rosary had already been broken. For a martial arts practitioner, the sword is connected with her own blood, which is naturally a fatal blow to her!When the old man Zhuo saw him coming to rescue, he kept calling Zhuo Xiong's name. Zhuo Xiong had a thought in his heart, so he couldn't help but hastened his moves. For a master's move, it's all about mentality. When it comes to martial arts, although Chidai is a magic weapon. , but still far above Zhuo Xiong, after several rounds, although Zhuo Xiong was not injured, he was in a panic.Seeing that his son was going to be overwhelmed, the old man Zhuo didn't know where the courage came from, he rushed up from behind and hugged Chiyo's small waist, and Chiyo slammed down hard with the hilt of his sword, making the old man Zhuo's blood churn, There was faint blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Chiyo was trapped, Zhuo Xiong would not let this opportunity go, he raised his knife and slashed, Chiyo held his knife, and was trapped by the old man Zhuo again, Chaozi immediately rushed up, the same routine, Chiyo didn't even groan , was stunned, and fell down together with the old man Zhuo. Mochizuki Kazuki over there didn't take long after chasing him, the child just ran around the village giggling and laughing, almost caught him a few times, but he escaped.When he heard the sound of fighting over there, he knew it was a trick, and when he looked back, where was there any child in front of him?There was only a piece of white paper that was half burned on the ground, and he didn't care to look at it any more, so he rushed back immediately... "Father!" Zhuo Xiong yelled, and ran over to help Zhuo Yugui, the old man Zhuo had been tortured by Wangyue along the way, how could he bear such a blow now?The blood at the corner of his mouth told Zhuo Xiong that he might be seriously injured. But the old man Zhuo knew that he didn't know where to start to explain this matter now, and he didn't have the face to say it, saying that he was a villain who was greedy for money?Is it the culprit who killed the whole clan?If he was given a chance to do it again, I am afraid he would not choose that way, but there are not so many ifs. At least at this moment, Zhuo Xiong still called him Dad, looking at the pale old man in his arms, Zhuo Xiong choked up and said: "Dad, can you tell me what's going on?" Just as the old man was about to speak, a gust of blood came out. He firmly grasped Zhuo Xiong's arm, and managed to squeeze out a few words: "I... I'm sorry... Sorry... You... I..." A" Before I finished speaking, the old man Zhuo suddenly hugged Zhuo Xiong and pressed him firmly under him with great strength. At the same time, there was a burst of gunfire. Mochizuki knew something was wrong, so he rushed back immediately, just in time to see the Momoi sisters being knocked down by Chaozi, knowing that he had been tricked into diverting the tiger away from the mountain, he picked up the MP5 and aimed at it. At this moment, the old man Zhuo saw Mochizuki attacking , blocked Zhuo Xiong with his body. Zhuo Xiong reluctantly supported the old man Zhuo's face, the old man Zhuo forced a smile with difficulty, his neck tilted, and he lost his breath. "Ah!" A heart-piercing roar came from the bottom of the valley, echoing in the empty environment, "Da da da!" Another string of bullets flew in, this time the target was He Yichao. With his agility, He Yichao turned over and dodged behind the bronze pillar, leaving a string of bullet craters behind him.Chaozi, who was hiding behind the pillar, took out the small May 4th, adjusted his breathing several times, and just poked half of his head out to see what was going on, when he was greeted by another string of bullets, "da da da" bronze Sparks shot out from the column, and the powerful fire suppression of the MP5 submachine gun was fully reflected at this moment. Seeing that Zhuo Xiong, who was only three meters away from him, was crying under Zhuo Yugui's body, and Mochizuki Kazuki's footsteps were getting closer, Chaozi took another deep breath, stretched out his right hand to rely on the sound A shot was fired in the direction of "bang".Mochizuki Kazuki obviously did not expect that the opponent had a modern weapon in his hand. Hearing the gunshot, he subconsciously made a squatting movement. On the ground, Momoi Qianxue picked up the woman in front of her and shouted loudly: "Listen up, put down the weapon in your hand, then squat on the ground with your head in your arms, otherwise, I will send this woman to you immediately!" She is going to heaven!" Mochizuki Kazuki really didn't expect him to do this, Chaozi grabbed Qianxue's body and held it in front of him, walked slowly to Zhuo Xiong's side and shouted: "Blind man, take your father to the back of the bronze pillar, now This is not the time to cry!" But Zhuo Xiong was still crying there.Thinking about it, who can afford such a blow like him, received the news of the extermination of the clan within a day, and his grandfather died before he met him. This "father" also followed him before he confessed the truth. What an orphan.Chaozi raised his big-toed leather shoes, kicked Zhuo Xiong hard, and cursed: "Get up! Watch out for me, the person who killed your whole family is right in front of you. If you want revenge, you have to act like a man." Stand up, you don't want us all to die here!" With a sound of "roar", Zhuo Xiong hugged the old man Zhuo's body and moved to the back. Mochizuki was so angry that he picked up his MP5 and shot at Chao Zi. He hugged Qianxue and fell to the ground. After two "bang bang" shots, fortunately he dodged quickly, but there was still blood under his feet. It turned out that one of the bullets hit Momoi Qianxue's thigh. "What a ruthless person." Chaozi thought to himself.How could Mochizuki Kazuki be willing to stop there?Already red-eyed, he raised his gun and shot again, "Crack!" There was the sound of the firing pin's air strike, but it was just such a small sound, but it couldn't be hidden from Chaozi's ears. He was quite familiar with firearms and knew that Mochizuki Kazuki held The rod killer has run out of bullets! "Blind man, go!" Chaozi almost propped himself on the ground with one hand, soaring into the air, dragging his long samurai sword straight to Mochizuki Kazuki who was not far away, and quickly rushed over! Zhuo Xiong, with the anger that had nowhere to vent, raised the long knife in his hand and roared to kill that evil man! Mochizuki threw away the MP5 in his hand, and slowly pulled out the boy knife from his waist. In the cold light, Mochizuki had a strange smile on his face: "Come on! You two cowards! Let's go together!" "Ah!" Chaozi raised the knife first, jumped high, and slashed towards Kazuki Mochizuki head-on. Kazuki Mochizuki didn't try to catch it hard, but moved slightly to the right, and the blade cut against his arm. Down, without even moving a footstep. Chaozi missed the knife, and was about to withdraw the knife to catch up with a horizontal pick. Mochizuki Kazuki withdrew his body and turned his right wrist upwards. With a "poof", a cold light flashed in front of Chaozi. He Yichao's right arm A big gap has been opened. Chaozi's arm hurt and he couldn't stabilize his body.Mochizuki kicked straight with his right heel, hitting Chaozi's chest.Feeling sweet in his mouth, He Yichao flew upside down and fell heavily four or five meters away! In just one round, He Yichao was completely defeated!Chaozi had never suffered such a loss since he joined the army. He tried to struggle to get up, but found that his chest hurt so badly that he couldn't move.There is a gun in the waist!Chaozi took out the May 4th gun, pointed it at Mochizuki, and pulled the trigger, "Crack!" If it didn't fire, pull it again! "Crack!" It still didn't fire, the damn old May Fourth got stuck! Mochizuki Kazuki raised Tongziqie, stuck out his tongue, and licked the blood on the knife carefully, showing an evil smile, Zhuo Xiong raised the knife and killed it! "Ah! Go to hell with me!" Zhuo Xiong charged straight at Mochizuki, and slashed out without any skill.Regardless of the speed or strength of this knife, Mochizuki Kazuki had no way to hide, so he could only raise the knife to fight. With a sound of "dang", Mochizuki Kazuki's body was shaken back a step!This is a knife with hatred, Zhuo Xiong burst out with superhuman strength, but in front of Doji Kiri, although he tried his best, the samurai sword in his hand was broken in two... "Hahaha, hahaha, Chinese people, you are also equipped with knives! Anyone who blocks me today will die!" Mochizuki Kazuki twisted his face, and the blood-red scar had turned black and purple with excitement. After a horse step, he Raise the boy and go straight to Zhuo Xiong!Zhuo Xiong didn't dodge either, he took the half blade to meet the enemy! "Dang!" After a sound of metal collision, the samurai sword in his hand was blown away, and only the numbness of the tiger's mouth told him how much force Mochizuki used for this blow.But Mochizuki Kazuki didn't stop, the blade hadn't turned back yet, his right foot had already caught up, with a "bang", Zhuo Xiong fell heavily beside Chaozi like a kite with a broken string! "Only you are worthy of our empire's sword?" Mochizuki Kazuki approached Chaozi, lifted the long knife beside him, and slowly raised his right hand. In the firelight, Chaozi closed his eyes and waited. The arrival of that moment, since ancient times, the winner and the loser! "Ah! You bastards! Go to hell!" There was a roar, and in the darkness opposite, a burly man was running towards Mochizuki with a bronze pillar of fire in his arms. Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong looked up and saw that it was Flesh face!he came! Although this guy is huge, his speed is not slow. In the blink of an eye, he has already reached Mochizuki, swiping the bronze pillar as thick as a small tree in his hand and sweeping towards him!Brute force, pure raw brute force!Mochizuki raised his knife to block it, and with a "bang", Mochizuki felt as if he was hit by a tank. The bronze pillar of fire hit Dozikiri, and then hit his chest hard as if he had not received any resistance. , it's his turn! A mouthful of blood spat out with a "poof", and Mochizuki was hit by someone's swing like a poor baseball, and fell to the ground without moving. Chao Zi stared wide-eyed at the fleshy face swishing the bronze pillar. This was a flash kill, a flashy flash kill without any suspense! Mochizuki was swept away and didn't move for a while, Chaozi struggled to stand up, and the sloppy face finally threw away the guy in his hand and hurried to help Zhuo Xiong up, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, it was a wry smile, the instant pain made Xiao Xiong feel uncomfortable It became very awkward, and the corners of the mouth kept sucking. "Blind man, this dude is really fierce, so powerful!" Chaozi looked at the bronze pillar weighing more than 100 catties next to the fleshy face and said, "Ouch!" The pain in his chest came again, and he had to Sitting down again, this time the injury is not serious. Over there, Zha Wenbin, Lao Wang and Leng Yiran also rushed over, surrounded them to check their injuries, but fortunately no bones were injured, and the big gash on Chaozi was also bandaged in time, and he rested for a while , the two of them could barely walk around on their own, but if they tried again, they would probably be powerless. Old Wang went to look at Mochizuki and saw that the guy was still alive, so he tied him and Sister Momoi to the fire pillar with a rope.Mochizuki rolled his eyes and looked at the fleshy face. He probably never thought that such a rustic barbarian would beat himself up like this at once. He was pampered and learned martial arts from a famous teacher since he was a child.But I felt like I was falling apart and told myself that I was really defeated.Mochizuki's dejected look made Leng Yiran feel very proud, but she still didn't forget to tease Chaozi: "Chaozi, you are really useless." Chaozi was so angry that he didn't even have the energy to beat her up. Old Wang over there is already flipping through Mochizuki's backpack, good guy, they really have a lot of equipment, in addition to the food and batteries they urgently need now, there is one more precious thing, medicine! After taking medicine for Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong, and sharing some dry food, Cha Wenbin finally took the long strip that had been wrapped in cloth. "People from China, let go of the holy relic of the empire! Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces!" Mochizuki growled like a wild dog that had gone mad after seeing that Wenbin had moved the thing. "Oh? Your holy object, then I want to see whose holy object it is today!" Cha Wenbin shook the white cloth unceremoniously, and a utensil about one meter long was exposed. Mochizuki shouted even more heartbreakingly: "Let go of your dirty hands!" This is a well-shaped bronze branch, long and curved, with various thundercloud patterns carved on it, and the workmanship is very exquisite. "Bronze wares, hehe, we all know that Chinese bronze wares are from before the Shang and Zhou dynasties. At that time, you probably didn't have Japan, right? It's nothing more than stealing the sacred tree of our ancestors and claiming to be Fusang people. Now I want to come here to steal things, really. What a joke!" Cha Wenbin reprimanded Mochizuki unceremoniously. Just as Mochizuki wanted to defend himself, Zhuo Xiong walked over and kicked him in the crotch, which was already injured, but now the pain was so painful that he curled up there like a dead shrimp.But Zhuo Xiong didn't intend to just let him go, and pulled out the dagger in a "bass", but fortunately, Cha Wenbin reacted quickly, hugged him, and shouted: "Don't be impulsive!" Zhuo Xiong's eyes told everyone that he really wanted to kill someone just now!Seeing his fierce look, Mochizuki no longer insisted on speaking hard, and had no choice but to lower her head and pretend to be dead. "Brother Wenbin, I have nothing left!" Zhuo Xiong burst into tears after saying this. The series of blows in the past few days made him unable to accept such a fact!的确，从头到尾，他才是那个最无辜也最可怜的人，连冷怡然都不禁落泪，这个汉子哭得当真太伤心。 查文斌抱着卓雄，把他搂紧：“兄弟，以后我们都是你的家人！”拍拍卓雄的肩膀，查文斌又走过去，把卓老汉的尸体平放到地上，他生前的罪孽怕是要带下地狱了。“唉，也罢，自作孽不可活，卓雄兄弟，等我们出山了，我会在村子周围给他找个好穴位，他生前欠你们的太多，死后就让他替你们守着这个村子慢慢忏悔吧。” 卓雄哽咽着答应了，这个老者，既是凶手又是养育自己的恩人，他欠下的永远也还不清，他给自己的，怕也终生让自己难以忘怀。所以说，人都有两面性，也许最后他替自己这个“儿子”挡下子弹的那一刻，是想以死来换取卓雄对他的原谅，也是他对全族唯一的后人所能做的最后的一件事，虽然这也永远没办法洗脱他的罪名，大多数人都是到了这一刻才看明白是与非，可惜已经晚了。 桃井姐妹此时也已经醒了，超子已经帮千代包扎了枪伤，这儿也没那个条件替她取出子弹，简单的消炎和止血是唯一能做的。千代醒来，冷冰冰地看着众人，眼中还带着一丝敌意，不过这倒惹得小魔女很是不快：“看什么看！又不是我们把你打伤的，要不是我家哥哥抱着你闪得及时，你早被这个刀疤脸给打死了。算了，不管你了！” 就在冷怡然转身之后，千代面如死灰，她万万没有想到望月会朝她开枪！其实早在“雪柏”船旁，望月逼着千雪去查看，已经让她心生凉意，可是家主怎能这般无情？自己到底不过是一枚棋子罢了，良久，她终于开口：“请问，我妹妹她……” 超子听到这个冷美人居然用“请”字，也大吃一惊，不过对于这两个日本姑娘的身手他也很是佩服，要论单打独斗，他和卓雄恐怕都不是对手，毕竟自己也是胜之不武，便答道：“除了你腿上的枪伤，那个姑娘好像之前就受了内伤，不过恐怕也只能先出去再说了，在弄清事情之前，几位还是先休息一下，以你们的身手，我怕放了你们会给自己添麻烦，嘿嘿。” “那是谁帮我包扎的？”她轻声问道。 “哦，我怕你流血过多，所以简单地给包扎了一下。”超子面对这冷美人，居然有些不好意思起来。 千代脸色竟然微微一红，说道：“谢谢，不过我家主……” “你家主？那个刀疤脸？别想让我们放了他！他连你都要杀，你还帮着他，真无药可救了。”超子撂下这一句，胸口又开始痛起来，只得去揉自己的受伤部位了。 千代不再答话，脸色又恢复成了刚才的模样。 查文斌看着手中的树枝，问老王道：“老王，这就是你们一直要找的东西？神树？” 老王接过那树杈，小心翼翼地捧在手里，激动地说道：“应该没错，就是这个，传说中被后羿踩断的那一根，只要重新接上去，那么扶桑神树就能重现天日！” “怎么接？拿焊枪？我们可没那技术！”超子不解地问道。 老王摸摸头皮，说道：“我也不知道，听姜兄说过，要想使神树还原，一定要靠文斌手上的那个青铜轮，至于怎样做，我们也不知道。” 查文斌掂量着手中的青铜太阳轮，怎么看，这两者都没有什么关系啊。 “他可能知道。”老王瞟了一眼地上的望月说道。 不用查文斌招呼，超子已经走到望月身边，蹲下身子看着那刀疤脸，嬉皮笑脸地说道：“说说看，你都还知道些什么？” “呸！”望月扭过头去。超子心里那个气啊，心想我还没跟你算账呢，你倒是来劲了，举起沙包大的拳头就要砸下去。 “不要，他已经受了很重的伤了。”千代的声音，虽然依旧是那副冷冰冰的模样，可却带着一丝乞求。不知怎么的，超子对于这个女人的话似乎特别受用，悻悻地收起拳头，嘴里还不忘丢下一句：“真丢人，要女人为你求情！” 查文斌也不是那种胁迫别人的主，见望月不配合，便说：“也罢，既然是我们老祖宗留下的东西，犯不着让外人来指点。走，我们去前面看看。” 说完，便走向三根大柱子的后面，按照从上面看下的位置，这儿应该是整个村子的中心，一般来说，这里是最重要的地方。果然，柱子的后方是一个巨大的祭台，祭台的上方隐约还有个什么东西，查文斌拾级而上，一棵树木的样子在射灯的照射下，逐渐映入眼帘：“神树？” 整个祭台高达三米，分三层，整个形状呈梯形，全部采用巨大的花岗岩结构搭建而成，布局十分紧密，石头的缝隙连刀片都插不进。 最下层的祭台上，有一块青铜制的托盘器物，有一米来长，中间有一道凹槽，像是用来盛放某种东西的，查文斌踏上这级祭台，发现上面的灰尘已经积得满满的，看样子这里好久没有人使用过了。 拾级而上，是第二层，也就是位于中间的那个祭台，一尊高约两米的青铜人像伫立在这儿。凸出的眼睛、宽大的耳垂和那一张似笑非笑的大嘴，这和青铜棺上雕刻的那个人如出一辙，真不知道这里的先民就是长这副模样，还是有其他夸张的成分。重要的是这个铜像的双手是向前环抱着的，查文斌仔细看了一下，他的两只手掌中间原本应该是握着什么的，只是现在变成了中空。在人像的四周放着一些礼器，更多是盆形器皿，里面或多或少都残存着黑色杂质，用刀尖细细刮来一看，果不其然，是血！ 看来这儿就是血祭的场所了，再往上已经没了台阶，顶端的那一层，一棵高约十米的青铜树庄严而华丽地立于正中央。树的造型十分独特，以树干为支点，分上、中、下三节，每节上依次排列着三根树枝，每根树枝上都栖息着一只鸟，每只鸟儿的嘴中又都叼着一枚铜铃，树杈上光秃秃的，并没有树叶的修饰。查文斌对比了一下手中从望月那儿拿来的树杈，除了枝头的那只鸟和铜铃，无论是造型还是雕刻的花纹都很接近，只是体积却要小上很多。那些树杈，大的有五六米，小的也有两三米，唯独自己手中这一根有些不伦不类。不过对于这类东西，他懂得还是太少，便转身过去喊道：“老王，你过来看下。” 当老王在查文斌的帮助下登上第二节台阶时，就被这无与伦比的青铜树深深震撼，半晌他都说不出话来，好久才憋出两个字：“神迹！” “你们要找的就是这个？能打开通向三界之门的神树？”查文斌除了觉得它的造型很奇特之外，并没有觉得这玩意儿能通天彻地，在他眼中这或许只是年代久远的物件罢了。 老王又把目光聚集到那青铜人像之上，他也看见了那个孔，一番比画之后，老王大胆地说出了自己的推测，让三千年前的此处，被一一还原。 老王接过查文斌手中的那根树枝，比画着说道：“中还有这样一段记载，'汤谷上有扶桑，十日所浴，在墨齿北。居水中，有大木，九日居下枝，一日居上枝。'意思就是说，在东海汤谷，生长着一棵名叫扶桑的神树，树上居住了十个太阳，每天由三足乌驮着轮流值日。每当一个太阳升起，其他九个就在神树上休息，现在我们只看到了九只鸟，那么第十只鸟在哪？恐怕就是文斌兄你手中的那枚太阳轮了，假设我们把太阳轮作为第十只鸟，因为本来这些鸟的象征意义除了氏族的图腾之外，就是代表着太阳，它们轮流爬上最高的枝头变成太阳，那么这青铜轮就既是太阳又是值班当日那只鸟的化身。那么这一根树杈就应该是位于最顶端的那一根，也就是传说中被后羿踩断的。” “如果我们把这第十根树杈连上去，再把青铜轮悬在顶端，是不是就还原了这棵神树本来的样貌？” 对于那些神话传说，查文斌倒并不是特别感冒，不过老王这样说的话，确实解释了这树杈和太阳轮的关系，太阳轮就是第十只鸟，没有它，这树就不是完整的，那么这个祭台也就失去了意义，顿悟后查文斌说道：“那你觉得这树究竟是干吗的？” 老王看着那青铜人像，说道：“只有一个解释，这儿是一个神迹，不过我们好像还少了一件东西，就是文斌兄曾经拿在手中的那根杖子，你能告诉我它的来历吗？” 查文斌一听那杖子便想起了三足蟾，它现在还好吗？“那是我跌下瀑布后，在一个洞穴里发现的，当时守着它的是一只三足蟾，也是它带着我找到了最后那个埋有玉棺的洞穴。我用那根杖子打开了一个进入那里的通道，我想那杖子应该是一把钥匙，不过，好像对于这儿的先民，杖子具有无上的权力。” “哦？”老王来了兴趣，“你怎么知道？” 查文斌把在通道内遇到的事情，跟老王大致说了一遍，又把那“雪柏”船和黄金面具的事情也前后说了一遍。 老王把这些事前后联系在了一块，加上他们组织上一直研究的资料和从花白胡子那获得的信息，一个三千年前的王朝逐渐被两人还原了出来。 三千多年前的古蜀王国，正处在传说中的后鱼凫时代，鱼凫王归天之后，便葬于玉棺之中，以求死后再次复生，他所使用的办法和前者蚕丛是截然相反的。 历朝历代的王们在完成了江山的统一之后，追求长生便是唯一的目标，最让我们熟悉的有秦始皇派徐福东渡寻药，这才有了后来的日本国。 第一代蜀王蚕丛，结合了中原道家的法术，根据花白胡子的说法，在更早的时候，有一位中原道家人士曾经来蕲封山一代活动，在见识了惊天地泣鬼神的羌族巫术之后，便拜入门下。汉人学异族巫术，这是根本不可能会被同意的，但是这位道士答应以中土道家风水学帮助蚕丛修建一座往生大阵，让他躲过三界轮回，以便长生不老。作为交换条件，此人还以中土道家的理论知识和道家精髓作为交换，蚕丛和他一同拜入精通巫术的青衣神门下，学成下山之后，道家才拥有了完整的道家理论体系和无与伦比的神鬼之术。 这位道者将这一文一武完美地结合，开创了道家历史上赫赫有名的一大门派，自己死后也位列仙班，成为一代天师。 而我们的蜀王蚕丛一心追求永生，设下一个如此繁琐而歹毒的大阵，最终落了个活死人的下场。这种方式，鱼凫王肯定知道是失败的，于是他要用新的方式。作为他们的后人，鱼凫王选了鬼道之术，以牺牲自己的后代，吸取他们的精魂重塑出一个新的自我，从两者来看，都是把自我的重生建立在子民的牺牲之上。 先让鱼从水中生，进而让鸟食大鱼，象征着天地一体，鸟的血液里已经包含了两者，继而以血染玉棺，开启万魂而出，以鬼气凝聚成它的七魄，因为这些人都是它的后代，每一个亡魂身上都记载着它的记忆。而那根权杖则是融合魂魄的关键，有了它，亡魂就找到了目标，用这种匪夷所思的方式重新塑造人的三魂七魄。 这两种办法，一个是以道来躲，一个则是以神鬼来收，可谓把各自的本领发挥到了极致。 当时的鱼凫王国，是一个以氏族为单位的社会，几个氏族构成了一个王国的整体。每个氏族都由一个祭司带领，氏族里所有的民众都听命于他。在鱼凫王死后，整个王国则由一个大祭司掌控，大祭司的地位相当于当时中原的皇帝，他掌握着整个王国的生杀大权、经济命脉及政治体系，他很有可能就是“雪柏”船的主人，对于他而言，重生一样十分重要，他窃取了本来在玉棺内的权杖，并以此作为权力的象征，巩固自己的地位，这也就让鱼凫王在余下的三千多年里，一直无法重生。 但是有一天，这个大祭司突然病亡，这一消息对于古蜀国来说，无疑是一大噩耗。顿时，整个王国陷入群龙无首的境地。为了防止外族趁此机会入侵，也为了稳定人心，当务之急是要确立大祭司的人选。古蜀国对于大祭司人选的确立，并不像中原地区一样，采取继承制，而是推选制。这种制度，和我们现在的选举制类似，国家领导人由群众投票推选而出。而古蜀国大祭司的推选权利，则集中在几位祭司的手中。 他们选择了一个适合就任的良辰吉日，在这一天，新任领导要带领人们举行一系列仪式，来向众人宣告他的就任。于是众人率领自己部落的子民来到了这里，一场盛大的仪式即将开启…… 老王和查文斌尽可能地还原了这一场三千年前的盛大祭祀活动： 三千年前，当风吹过蕲封山的时候，整个王国的人们都可以聆听到那些由金属的摇曳和碰撞奏出的音乐，那一阵阵清脆的声响证明着一个伟大的青铜时代在四川腹地的这个小角落达到了顶峰。 下层是给祭司们举行仪式用的，祭台前的桌子上那个凹槽里，放着一根全身包裹着金皮的权杖。权杖的制作十分精细，外表裹着金皮，金皮上雕刻着鱼、鸟、箭等图案。鱼和鸟是鱼凫时代的图腾，箭表示威武，来自部落的子民跪在下方的广场上，虔诚地对着神树顶礼膜拜，远古的歌声在铜铃的伴奏下此起彼伏，几个祭司将祭台围了个水泄不通，等待着神圣的一刻。 吉时一到，几位祭司依次来到祭台前，他们头戴花冠，身着长袍，手持祭文，口里念念有词。半炷香的时间过去了，这些祭司合上手中的祭文，将其放在祭台上。紧接着，随从把祭司所戴的面具以及铜铃等交到了各位祭司手中。 这些面具全部用黄金制成，面具的鼻子十分饱满，嘴唇宽阔，两个硕大无比的耳朵向外侧展开，与整个面具不成比例，鼻子和嘴部都绘有黑色的油彩。戴上面具的各位祭司，一边摇动手中的铜铃，一边跳舞，嘴里吟唱着祭祀之歌。踩着歌声的节奏，他们整齐地变换着各种舞蹈动作。在一系列祭祀舞蹈之后，新的氏族首领开始带领祭台下的民众对天、对地行六叩九拜之礼。礼毕，氏族首领中最年长者将手杖从祭台上取下，递给新上任的国家首领，这位年轻的大祭司双手接过代表着王权和神权的金杖，然后高举过头。 整个广场上的子民顿时沸腾了，在震天的呐喊声中，下一代的大祭司如期诞生，他们渴望着他能带领部落进入下一个巅峰。在后鱼凫王时代，权力最大的是大祭司，而且也是氏族里最博学多才的人。他在氏族里所扮演的角色不仅仅是驱鬼念咒的人，也是沟通天地的代表。 同样，大祭司的身份也是多重的：氏族里有人生病时，他充当医者给人治病；出现天灾人祸，需要祭祀时，他代表的又是沟通天地的神；需要预测灾难时，他又成了占卜师。给人治病，必须精通医理知识；沟通天地、预测灾难，又必须具备天文常识。当然，这一切在当时的人们眼中，理所当然地认为是神赋予了他能量，因此祭司无疑成了氏族里最受尊敬、最有权力的人。 扶桑神树既然可沟通天地，那么大祭司就成了唯一能够与之交流的人，那么曾经的这位大祭司，便是眼前的这个青铜人了，只是他万万没有想到，真正的那柄权杖早已被前任大祭司带进了自己精心准备的雪柏船中，留给他的不过是一个造型精美但毫无法力的赝品罢了。 终于，当这个鱼凫王国的后裔们在一起聚会的时候，氐人们手持各种兵器，把他们团团包围，羌人们拿起手中的武器奋力反抗，双方杀得你死我活。氐人们因为皮糙肉厚，又孔武有力，在这场后鱼凫时代的部落战争中，逐渐赢得了上风，所有的羌人开始退到这个广场上，他们最仰仗的大祭司手举权杖，开启通天彻地的本领，却发现往日能呼风唤雨的权杖，此刻犹如一根毫无作用的木棍。 年轻的大祭司怎么都不会想到真正的权杖早已被调包，为今之计，他只能破釜沉舟。如果说古蜀国能立足于此的原因是他们先后开创了蚕丝文明和渔猎文明，那么还有一项更为重要的便是神鬼之术。 年轻的大祭司使用了惊天地泣鬼神的巫术，最终暂时打退了氐人疯狂的进攻，剩下的子民也寥寥无几。在重伤之下，这位年轻的大祭司叫来族群中的德高望重之人，下达了这个王国最后一道命令，那便是守护在进山的必经之路，等待有朝一日能够重新开启鱼凫王的重生。 这位长者带着大祭司的嘱咐，领着族群里剩余不多的人出了蕲封山之后，便在外面那个世代居住的村子里落下脚来，世代守护着蕲封山的秘密，并不断地寻找再次开启复活之路的办法，其中最被他们认可的便是拿到那第十只鸟，重新开启扶桑神树的三界通道，也就是传闻中被鱼凫带入玉棺里的太阳轮，哪里知道误打误撞，上一任的蚕丛早就带着这异宝进了自己棺材。这种寻找，一直持续了三千年，直到望月的祖父再次打破了这里的宁静。 当所有的族人都已离开这里之后，年轻的大祭司带着满身的血污，矗立在这第二道台阶之上，他背倚着上一代大祭司的雕像，一场旷世的鬼道之术在此地惊天上演。借助神树残存的神力，他将整座蕲封山永远地封存在了一片云雾之中，并使下了某种禁忌，使得氐人只能生活在地下深处，永远踏不出这大山半步。 这种相持的局面一直到望月祖父的到来，由于他的到来破坏了禁忌的一小部分，使得氐人能够再一次接近羌人原来的地盘，并被追杀。查文斌不知道他们是否到过这里，只是复活王的任务，很有可能已经被查文斌完成。 到此查文斌或多或少能够猜测到《如意册》的由来了，将军庙中那些如虫子一般的符号便是古蜀国文字，文中记载的应该就是那些巫术，只是以巫术和道家理论相结合，历史上已经有祖先证明了其的确可行。 蛋子和尚很有可能也是寻宝中的一人，他进入了蕲封山，并结识了巴蜀猿猴中的首领。巴蜀猿猴才是这里真正的主人，它们知道这座大山所有的秘密。在猿猴的带领下，他得到了千年前属于羌人大祭司的神鬼之术，并把它称为《如意册》，在潜心研究之后，破解了其中的译文，从而成为了一代宗师。 推断至此，查文斌和老王都解开了心中太多的疑惑，至少这一整条线对于他们而言是能够完全成立的，接下来摆在他们面前的便是要不要重新使得这座传说中的通天神树重新复原了。
