The third chapter "Death-Sentient Beings" Chapter 608: The False Says the True and the False
Ever since he heard from Jia Lihu that Lin Zidai was the wolf Qianxun in disguise, Lu Chun became more and more suspicious of his identity. He always felt that Lin Zidai's behavior was very abnormal.
Even though Lin Zidai's actions of bowing and kowtowing before him seemed to be sincere and made him less suspicious, the grudge buried in his heart had taken root and sprouted, and could no longer be filled with trust.
So when he saw that the two of them were not paying attention to the source of Zhengqi at the moment, he suddenly wanted to strike first. As long as he could seize the source of Zhengqi, he could threaten the wolf Qianxun to ensure it.
The safety of several of you.
Thinking of this, he quietly approached the stone turtle and raised his hand to grasp the source of Zhengqi!
"Be careful!" At this moment, Jia Lihu, who had been standing aside, suddenly exclaimed. This voice was so loud that Lu Chun was stunned to the spot. Lin Zidai, who was feeling depressed, noticed this.
In this situation, he also frowned and moved towards Lu Chun to stop him.
But this time it was Jia Lihu who was one step faster. Before Lin Zidai could get up, he rushed over and directly blocked Lu Chun behind him. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Ahem... Don't be nervous, sir. Brother Lu just wanted to step forward to check the situation and had no intention of taking action." When Jia Lihu saw Lin Zidai's expression was different, he hurriedly explained.
Fortunately, Lin Zidai didn't seem to care about this. He just glanced at Lu Chun and turned around and continued to remain silent.
Seeing that Lin Zidai didn't pay attention to this, Jia Liehu breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice: "Brother Lu Chun, why are you so restless?"
This was the first time Lu Chun saw Lin Zidai reacting so violently, and the suspicion in his heart became even more intense. He said unwillingly: "Otherwise, what can we do? We can't just watch him take away the source of Zhengqi, right?"
Seeing that Lin Zidai had walked up to Shi Gui and looked at the source of Zhengqi, Jia Lihu took the opportunity to pull Lu Chun away and said hoarsely: "Brother Lu, do you still have the purifying fire pot with you?"
Lu Chun nodded, took out a cloth bag from his chest and handed it out.
"Since the Jing Huo Kettle is still there, I'm relieved." Jia Lihu opened the cloth bag and took a look, then wrapped it up again, "If Mr. Fake gets the source of Zheng Qi, he will definitely find a way to get the Jing Qi from you.
Huo Ke, Brother Lu, remember to be careful about Shanna and never be careless!"
After hearing this, Lu Chun glanced back and saw Lin Zidai taking out a box about an inch long from somewhere. It seemed that he was ready to take action.
"Brother Lu, Brother Jia, we are pressed for time. I'm afraid that if we delay for too long, it will cause trouble. You should be careful." Lin Zidai did not look at the two of them, but looked solemnly in the direction in front of him and said lightly.
"Okay sir, we are ready..." Jia Lihu said in a hurry when he heard this, and then stuffed the package back into Lu Chun's chest.
Lu Chun was about to put his hand to his chest to check the situation, but suddenly Jia Lihu grabbed his wrist: "Brother Lu! As I said, act according to the opportunity!"
Being interrupted, Lu Chun no longer wanted to check, and followed Lin Zidai's instructions to take precautions.
Seeing that the two of them were hiding behind him, Lin Zidai opened the box in his hand. The moment the box was opened, the originally cool grotto suddenly became hot, almost soaking their clothes.
Dry instantly.
Lu Chun was familiar with Lang Qianxun's methods. He felt the raging hot wind blowing against his face, and even more suspected that it was because of the special situation in front of him that Lang Qianxun could no longer hide.
As the heat in front of him spread out, the source of Zhengqi in the mouth of the stone turtle in front of him also dimmed. Lu Chun looked forward along the side of Lin Zidai, and then he saw that the original luster in the mouth of the stone turtle turned out to be an appearance
It was a pity that he only took a look at the simple silver needle and saw Lin Zidai holding up the box to put the silver needle away.
"This, is this over?" Lu Chun originally thought that the fake Lin Zidai had to prepare some other things and was already prepared to encounter trouble. However, he did not expect that the latter simply opened the box and put the silver needle in it.
Going in and closing the box completed the ultimate goal of their trip, which was a little unacceptable for a while.
"Brother Lu, Brother Jia, now that we have obtained the source of Zhengqi, let's..."
"Kacha...kacha..." The sudden sound of shattering stone slabs interrupted Lin Zidai's words. Before a few people could react, they heard another sound of rushing water coming from under their feet. Although they had not seen each other at this time,
The water was strong, but just by the sound of the rushing water, something bad came into my heart.
Because the root of Zhengqi had been put into the box by Lin Zidai, the feeling of rejection on the stone platform naturally disappeared. Several people hurriedly came to the edge of the stone platform and looked down, and saw countless water pillars under the stone platform from where they had just come.
The water surface is rising at a visible speed.
"Why did the weak water seep in? We need to get out of here quickly!" Jia Lihu became anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly called for the two of them to run towards the exit on the other side.
Although they responded in time, it was a pity that the water surface of Weak Water rose too fast. The exit on the wall was completely submerged, and there was no trace left. In the blink of an eye, Weak Water rose more than half the distance. If they continued
If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we will be trapped and die in this grotto.
"You two, since we have reached a dead end now, why not go down this road while the weak water has not completely flooded this place? Maybe we can have a chance to reach the exit and explore out!" Jia Lihu urged, pointing to the path beside the stone platform.
.
"That's all we can do..." Lu Chun gritted his teeth after hearing this and was about to take the lead.
But just as he took a step forward, his body was pinned down by Lin Zidai: "Brother Lu, this weak water is extremely dark and difficult to see through. I'm afraid we will be completely lost just as we immerse ourselves in it, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so here we go
The law is really inappropriate!"
"If we delay it any longer and wait until the weak water submerges this stone platform, we will definitely die by then! If you are trying to stop us now, do you want us to wait here to die? Don't think that I don't know that you are..."
Feeling that the aura of death was getting stronger, Lu Chun could no longer control his temper and was about to expose Lin Zidai's identity, but Jia Orion quickly stood in front of Lu Chun and tried to dissuade him: "Brother Lu Chun, calm down, sir.
So there must be his way...right sir?"
Lin Zidai was scolded by Lu Chun, but his expression did not change at all, and he just nodded slightly.
"Brother Jia is right, there is indeed another way to escape here." As he said that, Lin Zidai pointed in the direction above their heads.
When the two of them looked up, they suddenly realized that they were so flustered that they forgot how they got here. Although the square hole in the distance above their heads seemed small, it was filled with infinite light.
Whether it was an illusion or other reasons, the cave space where Zhengqi was attached to the wall was originally very bright, but as the weak water gradually rose, the light here began to dim.
"Time is tight, Lin can only take one step first! You two are waiting here for me to put down the rope." After Lin Zidai finished speaking, he was about to jump up, but just as he took a ready posture, his expression suddenly changed, "Sorry,
Could you please give me a helping hand and send me up there?"
Hearing that Lin Zidai was going to leave first, Lu Chun was suddenly shocked. He thought that if this fake Lin Zidai had already obtained the root of Zhengqi, and if he was allowed to go up first, he would probably leave immediately without looking back.
Saving them is simply impossible.
But fortunately, something seemed to have happened to Lin Zidai, and his face turned a little pale, so he asked for their help.
Lu Chun didn't want the fake Lin Zidai's conspiracy to succeed, so he pretended to persuade him: "Say, idiot Lin, I see you don't look well, why don't you rest down there first, and let's go up instead... What do you think?
Lao Jia?"
Hearing this, Jia Lihu said, and then nodded: "Yes, sir, I see that you are very weak now, why don't you let me do it."
Lin Zidai moved his body, but felt that he couldn't exert even half of his strength, so he could only nodded and agreed.
Seeing that the fake Lin Zidai didn't insist anymore, Lu Chun was relieved. When he saw Jia Lihu winked at him, he immediately understood: "Zizi Lin, you are not in good condition now, and the source of Zhengqi is on you.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of it, so why not let us take care of it for you first?”
Lin Zidai frowned when he heard this and was silent for a moment, then handed the box out: "Lu Chun is thoughtful, so I will give it to you for safekeeping first."
Lu Chun heard this and was about to take action, but Jia Orion snatched it away.
Jia Orion laughed loudly and put the box into his arms, then jumped into the air and disappeared directly from the hole.
"Haha!" Lu Chun didn't expect that Jia Orion, who seemed to be strong and strong, was so strong, and he was quite surprised. However, he waited and saw no rope coming down from above his head, and saw that the weak water was about to flood the stone platform.
, also urged impatiently: "Old Jia! Old Jia! Why are you dawdling! Hurry up!"
But before he could urge him a few words, he heard Lin Zidai's voice behind him: "Brother Lu, there's no need to shout, he won't come back."
"Won't come back? What do you mean by that? Uh... Could it be that Old Jia is the old man pretending to be?" Lu Chun exclaimed when he heard this, and then he realized what he said with an embarrassed look: "Since he is
It’s fake…then idiot Lin, are you the real one?”
Lin Zidai shook his head and smiled: "It seems that Brother Lu has been kept in the dark..."
"Zi Zi Lin, what on earth is going on?" Seeing Lin Zidai's calm expression, Lu Chun asked with a confused look on his face: "Could it be that... you have discovered it a long time ago?"
Lin Zidai nodded slightly.
"Then since you found out, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I saw Brother Lu keep winking at me along the way, and I thought you noticed it too."
“…”
Lu Chun didn't expect that his performance would be completely noticed by others. He wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, feeling quite ashamed.
