Chapter 40 The Land of Immortality

The fat man spat in the direction the mandrill left, "Damn, these turtles are quite smart, they know how to plot against Chen Cang secretly."

Wu Xie also breathed a sigh of relief, put the small remote control back into his pocket, and said to Dafu, "Collect the bodies of brother Tietuo. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. I can't help brother Tietuo."

Dafu choked with grief and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Tietuo. We also have a younger brother who is in junior high school. He seems to be taking the high school entrance examination soon."

Wu Xie nodded, "Okay, I will tell Mr. Jiu that I will give him the compensation he deserves so that he can finish college."

Dafu sighed and thanked him repeatedly, "Brother Tietuo has a spirit in heaven, and he will definitely be grateful to the third master."

Wu Xie waved his hand, said "My condolences", and said nothing more.

Nie Xiaoba patted Dafu on the shoulder and went with him to collect Tie Tuo's bloody corpse.

During the hot summer season, in such a wilderness, corpses would rot and become infested with maggots after being stored for a long time. In order to prevent both the living and the dead from suffering, the corpses needed to be burned and disposed of immediately.

But when they put the scattered bones together, Dafu was shocked to find that the body was not made of iron!

"This, this, this... what's going on? Tie Tuo is still alive?" Dafu couldn't believe it, and quickly picked up the half-faced skin left on the corpse's head to confirm.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie immediately brought the water bag over, unscrewed it and poured water on his face to rinse, "Look carefully, is this guy really not a Tie Tuo?"

Dafu quickly wiped the blood off the corpse's face with water, and made sure again and again that there were no familiar black moles near the hair roots of the man's temples. He burst into tears of joy.

"It's not Tie Tuo. It's really not Tie Tuo. He and I grew up wearing a pair of pants and playing in the mud. He has a sparrow here. It was pricked by a flying nail when he was a carpenter apprentice when he was a child. The wound was later

After it was cured, a little black mark was left, I remember it very clearly."

The fat man also came over to take a look and asked, "If it's not Brother Tietuo, who is it? Where did Brother Tietuo go?"

As he said this, he said, "Damn it, those Sun Monkeys didn't bring Brother Tietuo back to their hometown to stock up on food."

Wu Xie immediately said, "Let's all spread out and look for him. If they threw Tie Tuo here, he must not be too far from the camp."

The crowd divided into two groups and searched the area, but found no trace.

"It's so numb." The fat man couldn't help but swear, "In the end, we still lost money."

Wu Xie said a few words to calm everyone's mood. At this moment, Luo Wenbing, who had been stunned before, suddenly woke up, rubbed his head and sat up. Facing the unknown and bloody body beside the fire, he rolled his eyes and asked again.

Fainted.

The fat man pinched the Hegu point in his mouth with one hand, and pinched the other person's middle with one hand, and said with all his strength, "Damn it, you kid, wake me up quickly. If you don't wake up, I'll beat you with my big-eared melon seeds."

Luo Wenbing took a breath of cold air into his trachea and woke up immediately.

The fat man roughly pulled him to the body and urged, "Open your eyes and look. Do you recognize this grandson?"

Luo Wenbing came face to face with the bloody face. The bloody smell hit his face and his stomach suddenly surged. His limp body suddenly gained strength. He immediately pushed the fat man away and ran to the side of the tree.

I vomited while squatting. I vomited all the undigested mutton I had eaten in the evening. In the end, only bitter and sour water was left.

When Nie Xiaoba handed over the water, he saw Luo Wenbing squatting down, sobbing and crying softly, "Mom, you are so cool. I don't want to make a big fortune, I just want to go home..."

Nie Xiaoba patted him heavily on the shoulder and comforted him, "Okay, don't cry or cry anymore. We've already reached this point. How can you walk back alone? You're not afraid of the big black monkey picking you up halfway."

Really?"

Luo Wenbing's sobbing voice stopped, and the next moment, the cry became louder, "If we do it together, we will die, so I will die closer to the house, just in case any kind person comes across me."

You can also clean up my skull and bones, they are so hard that a big monkey won’t be able to chew them.”

After saying that, he turned over, wiped his tears with his sleeves, patted the dirt on Kesi Boleng'er, and was about to take his things and leave.

Wu Xie waved his hand, and Nie Xiaoba and the others automatically surrounded him.

Luo Wenbing tightened the straps of his backpack with some fear, and said loudly and bluffingly, "Do you want to do something bad? Get away, I'm going to break up with you!"

"Don't you understand?" Seeing that they were indifferent, Luo Wenbing said angrily, "Get away, I don't want to tell you too much, I walked out of this valley today, you don't know me, I don't know you, just pretend

Never seen that before."

Wu Xie raised his eyelids and looked at him gently, but the words that came out of his mouth sent chills down his spine, "I'm afraid not, at least until we come out of the tomb, you can't leave, or you can continue walking down with us, we

I will try my best to protect you, otherwise, you can only become a handful of ashes here, and people outside will never know that you died here, and at most they will think that you are missing."

Luo Wenbing was scared to death, and his mouth was shaking uncontrollably. He wanted to say that you don't dare to do this, because killing is illegal.

But when he met Wu Xie's cold eyes, he immediately realized that these people were not kidding. If he didn't follow their ideas, he would really die quietly here, with the bloody mess on the ground.

There.

No matter how aggrieved he felt, Luo Wenbing did not dare to make any mistakes. He could only cry silently in his heart, wondering what evil he had done to meet such a bunch of crooks who regarded human life as nothing.

Wu Xie patted his shoulder kindly, "That's right. Oh, right. I was just joking with you. I hope you don't mind. After all, we are good, law-abiding citizens. Come on.

I’m just looking for something here.”

Luo Wenbing stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth and forced out a smile, "I know, I know. If you guys are involved in the scandal, I won't see it."

Wu Xie smiled enigmatically, pointed at the corpse on the ground, and said, "I'd like you to suffer with us. I'd also like to trouble you to identify this person. You must look carefully."

What else could Luo Wenbing say? He could only nod in agreement, endure the feeling of nausea, cover his nose and get closer to the body to take a look.

The fat man next to him secretly gave Wu Xie a thumbs-up, and said in a low voice, "You have learned a lot from that blind man. The aura you used to scare people came out, and I didn't even dare to say a word, fat man."

Wu Xie waved his hand calmly, "It's far behind compared to a blind man, so it's only useful against people like him who have little knowledge and experience."

On the other side, Luo Wenbing endured his nausea and looked at the face of the corpse carefully. As he looked at it, he said with some confusion, "This person looks like that Li Shengbao. Let me take a closer look."

As he spoke, he picked up a stick from his feet, fiddled with the other shaky arm on the body, and turned it over.

When everyone took a look, the left little finger on that arm was completely missing.

Luo Wenbing pointed to the missing gap and said, "I don't know if I can't see clearly if my face is so rotten, but it's hard to look at that thumb. It's just Kuoneng. Li Shengbao was a turtle when he was a boy."

A rotten person, whatever happens to a rotten kid, I heard that his thumb was chopped off with a hatchet when his father forced him to quit gambling."

It seems that the group of wild lamas who took the lead in fighting under the leadership of Li Shengbao have encountered something unexpected.

Dafu and another man put the body into a body bag, moved it to a distant place and burned it.

The two of them watched from a distance, waiting for the last trace of fire to disappear, then poured water on the ashes to completely extinguish the fire, and then dug soil to bury them, lest they burn again and ignite the forest.

It's a grave sin.

To make a long story short, during the next three days of travel, Wu Xie and the others did not encounter any monkeys. It seemed that the mandrill really kept his promise and did not bother them again.

They climbed to the mountainside of Jigongliangzi. The scenery here was so beautiful that it was difficult to describe.

The yellow flower meadows all over the mountains and plains are full of vitality and stretch as far as the eye can see. Such a dense sea of ​​natural flowers was once thought to only appear in cartoons.

Then there is the sea of ​​clouds. All the flowers are blooming in the clouds. The clouds are swaying with the wind. When the clouds blow over, the entire sea of ​​flowers is like Silent Hill, very ghostly. The visibility of the entire sea of ​​flowers under the clouds is less than three meters. People and

If the distance between people is a little farther, they will be submerged in it.

And when the clouds leave and the sun shines through, the sunlight falls directly down like a waterfall, and the golden sea of ​​flowers spreads out endlessly. All the flowers instantly become bright and dazzling, just like the light of the Buddha.

The fat man lamented that this was a miraculous work of nature, and asked Wu Xie for a camera to take pictures of it all.

Wu Xie asked him, "Why are you filming this?"

The fat man said without hesitation, "Take the photos and make a photo album for them to look at later. It's called, 'I took pictures of all the scenery you've never seen before.'"

Wu Xie took out the camera and handed it to the fat man, watching silently as he kept taking photos as if he was having fun among the flowers.

When everyone was tired from walking, they stopped to rest.

Wu Xie sat in the gap between the flowers, quietly raising his head and looking sideways at the sky. One after another, the golden corollas smudged out a blurry outline in the sunlight, making the sky and the mountains appear blurry.

separated by ground.

Looking from this direction toward the direction they were going to eventually go, black clouds were low on the top of the mountain, and thick fog shrouded the mountain where monkeys robbed tombs. That mountain didn't even have a name, and it only rained within the scope of that mountain.

The sea of ​​flowers is on the mountainside. Going down from the mountainside, you enter the river valley. In the river valley, there are endless virgin forests. As the evening approaches, the calls of night owls are heard one after another.

The fat man came back excitedly and told Wu Xie that he had found a strange hilltop in the woods on the edge of the river valley. It looked like a land temple from a distance.

That direction was exactly where they were going, so everyone no longer hesitated and quickly headed there with their equipment on their backs.

When they got closer, they found an old tomb. It could not be regarded as an ancient tomb, but it should have been a long time ago. Wu Xie looked at the tombstone standing next to the tomb, which was covered by weeds and fallen leaves. The words on it were blurry and could not be seen clearly.

, we can only roughly speculate that this should be something before liberation.

The surface of the tomb is made of many irregular stone slabs, which are covered with moss.

The fat man shined his flashlight and muttered, "The wild ghost in the lonely grave. It turns out that there really are lonely graves in the world."

Wu Xiexin said that he was too damn lonely. Who is this person and why is he buried here?

Human beings must live in groups, and this is especially true for tombs. It is a bit strange that such a strange tomb suddenly appears in such a remote place where no human hair can be found.

The fat man had no interest in this old tomb, so he walked directly around to the ancient temple whose edge could be vaguely seen at the back. He had just taken two steps when his foot suddenly buckled and he almost fell down.

"What the hell happened to the fat man's feet?" The fat man leaned on the grass pier with one hand and cursed.

Nie Xiaoba hurriedly came over to help him up. The two took off their backpacks and squatted down to look at the thing.

The fat man recognized it at a glance. It was a petrified bone, and judging from the regular round shape, it was probably a skull.

"Fat man, what did you find?" Wu Xie also walked over.

"I found something good." The fat man chuckled, took off the engineering shovel hanging from his backpack, and started digging at that area.

After digging for a few times, there was a clang sound, and the shovel head hit something hard.

Seeing this, the fat man moved back a little and continued digging, with Nie Xiaoba also helping.

Ten minutes later, they stood in a large pit with a diameter of two meters. In the center of the pit was a stone tablet that looked like a door. The top of the stone tablet was a triangular protrusion, and the skull that the fat man found was inserted into it.

The stele is about one meter high. There is a circle of relief carvings like a door frame on the side. In the center is a scorpion sitting on a lotus that has been eroded and blurred.

The fat man took off the skull and weighed it in his hands, "Innocent, this thing doesn't look like a human head. Look at the big fangs, they are as sharp as awls."

Wu Xie took the skull, looked at it, and nodded, "It belongs to a monkey."

Generally speaking, the skull structure of monkeys is more convex, while that of humans is flatter. The nasal bones of monkeys are lower and wider, while those of humans are higher. The mandibles of monkeys are also very different from those of humans. They are rough.

While wide, human beings are relatively narrow.

The fat man guessed, "Could it be that the person buried in the old grave is not a human, but a monkey?"

"If it's a monkey, the key to the question is who buried the monkey here." Wu Xie said slowly, "Although this stone monument is very close to the old tomb, the stone monument was erected here obviously longer than the old tomb.

The grave will last much longer."

The fat man still felt a little strange, "You said so well, why would you erect a stone monument here?"

Wu Xie pointed at a line of small words at the bottom of the stone tablet, "Look at this, it says, Kingdom of Eternal Life."

The fat man understood immediately, "Did we find the entrance to the Gu King's Underground Burial Temple by mistake? Could it be that the ancient temple we just saw is the place we are looking for?"

Thanks to [Yue Yuze] and other big guys for the rewards, and show your appreciation
