Instead of Wan Bao Chang Wang Feng, Wu Sheng continued to dig. It was difficult to dig the tunnel to the main cave until the direction was clear, otherwise it would be half the result with half the effort, so he dug the tunnel to open up the underground river instead.
When they were digging two feet deep, they heard Wanbao Chang banging on the wall of the pool at the entrance of the cave. He quickly stepped back. As soon as he covered the stone slab, Long Er came in.
"Wu Sheng, come with me. Where is Xuan Mingzi? Where did he go?" Long Er asked.
Wu Sheng replied: "I'm going to see Tian Da."
Long Er frowned and said, "Then wait until he comes back... Don't go anywhere, just wait here. I'll come back later."
Wu Sheng asked what was going on, but Long Er ignored him and left directly. But not long after leaving, he turned back and asked Wu Sheng to follow him out: "Let's go... we don't have to wait for Xuan Mingzi... Wan Baochang,
You come too."
Wanbaochang had no choice but to follow behind: "Brother Long, what are we going to do?"
Long Er took the lead and stopped in front of an icicle. Wan Baochang's expression immediately changed.
Long Er said: "The Lord has ordered me to teach you the rules as a newcomer."
He turned the icicle, which was as thick as a bowl, to create a hole underneath, and then urged Wu Sheng and Wan Baochang to go down into the hole. The hole was not big, only about a foot long, and it seemed very crowded after Wu Sheng and Wan Baochang went down.
In the corner of the cave, there was a man sitting leaning against the wall. His face was pale and his eyes were staring straight ahead. He was motionless, but there was a corpse.
Wanbaochang swallowed and whispered: "Yin Changshou... has been dead for five days..."
Long Er said from above: "He was Yin Changshou and wanted to escape, so he died. This is the rule. Wu Sheng, learn it carefully...take it as a warning. Wan Baochang, help Wu Sheng and carry him out."
Teach him how to do it."
Wanbaochang was experienced. He had dealt with Ning Fengzi's body. He and Wu Sheng worked together to move Yin Changshou's body out and to the ice wall on one side.
Wu Sheng hadn't walked past this place yet, and then he discovered that there were more than a dozen round holes in the ice wall, each of which was seven or eight feet deep. In addition to these round holes, he also found other holes in the ice wall at other locations.
I found some dark shadows on the ground, and when I went over to look, I saw corpses sealed inside.
Wu Sheng looked at this scene and was speechless for a long time. It was not until Wan Baochang urged that he stuffed the body of Yin Changshou into an empty round hole, head outside and foot inside.
Wanbaochang went to a nearby place to knock some ice picks and stuffed them into the round hole. Then he took the crystal bowl handed over by Long Er, filled the ice hole with hot water somewhere nearby, and poured it inside and outside the round hole.
Seal the entrance of the cave, and the ice coffin of Yin Changshou's tomb becomes.
Wu Sheng stared blankly at the black shadow in the ice coffin in the tomb, and sighed softly. It was so depressing that a Hedao was buried in the ice wall like this. It was really not a good feeling.
After burying Yin Changshou, Wan Baochang pointed to a dark shadow below and said sadly: "Brother Ning is right here..."
Long Er continued to speak: "Wu Sheng, if you want to escape, there are still a lot of empty spaces here."
Wu Sheng suddenly raised his head, stared at Long Er and said: "Even if you don't escape, Long Er, you will still be buried here in the future for future generations to see, right? How many years later? Three years? Ten years? Or thirty or fifty years?"
?Long Er, have you reserved a cave for yourself?"
Long Er and Wu Sheng looked at each other for a moment and said slowly: "You don't need to contradict me. You and I are the same people. I'm just relaying the Lord's wishes."
Wu Sheng sneered: "Your Majesty? When will we, the Hedao Immortal God, have a master? Long Er, we can hate her, fear her, even if we love her and respect her, all of these are fine, but we can never be willing to be slaves!"
Long Er said calmly: "When your Yang Shen dissipates, you won't say that anymore."
Burying the dead is an education on the rules for newcomers. After the education, Long Er left. Looking at his leaving back, Wan Baochang scolded: "Why do you have to bother Daoyou Wu? Do you have to contradict him with these words?"
Wu Sheng said: "Nothing else, just a few words of support to him, hoping to awaken some of his sense of autonomy. Maybe it will be useful at a critical moment."
Wanbaochang sighed: "We are all pitiful people. In fact, everyone is thinking about leaving the green hills behind."
Teaching the newcomers the rules is actually a kind of subtle influence, which is to make the newcomers accept their fate. This is just the beginning. With these preliminary preparations, when the time comes, when the spirit mountain or the barrier dissipates, in order to save their lives, most of them will
Dao City will choose to surrender temporarily, and first go to the high platform of Yin Lingluo. Anyway, you won't die for a while if you go to the high platform. This is what Wanbao often means by "keeping the green mountains alive".
Wu Sheng asked: "Besides sleeping with someone and burying a body, what other rules are there?"
Wan Baochang said: "There will be more later. I refused to accept it at first and was sent to the top of the cliff. I was frozen for a night. What a feeling. When I thought about it, Chang Rong has not been rescued yet. Wan is still waiting for a useful life, but he can't be frozen.
If you die in this ice field, everyone will take turns accompanying Yin Lingluo to the high platform, and it will only be your turn once a month. It will only damage some Yang gods, so I figured it out."
When they returned to the ice cave, Xuan Mingzi still didn't come back. Wu Sheng asked Wan Baochang to continue to look for the wind, and he went down to continue digging. When he dug to about forty feet, he came up to take a breath.
It was Wanbao Chang's turn to go down to the cave, and Wu Sheng was watching the wind from above. From time to time, he walked out of the cave entrance and looked around. He saw that the bottom of the gorge began to darken again, and the night was coming, but Xuan Mingzi still did not come back, and he felt something bad in his heart.
Xuan Mingzi took the initiative to apply to sleep with him. Could it be that he exposed his flaws in his words and was punished by Tian Da? But he and Tian Da both came from the Taiping era and could be called fellow villagers. Even if they didn't shed tears after meeting each other, Tian Da
It's not like he sold him out, right? When he first came here, Tian Da's attitude towards Xuan Mingzi was quite caring.
While he was guessing, he heard a noise outside. Wu Sheng followed the sound and saw the Qiu brothers fighting with a group of people from a distance. These people were the former Hedao gang under Feng San and were now rogue gangsters.
The methods used by the Qiu brothers are completely different from those used to deal with themselves. When I first arrived, before I could climb up to the high platform and be said to be physically strong, they did not dare to take action and only dared to use their mouths. However, they were not so polite when dealing with the Qiu brothers.
The beating made the Qiu brothers run away with their heads in their hands.
After the gang finished fighting, they cursed and left. The Qiu brothers struggled to get up and limped towards the ice cave where they lived. After a while, the two brothers appeared in front of Wu Sheng with bruises and swollen faces.
Ask him when he ran away.
Wu Sheng asked: "Why did the fight start?"
Fatty Qiu said, "It's okay to go get some dried meat from Feng Laosan's place. Fellow Daoist Wu, please give me a quick word. When can I leave?"
Wu Sheng said: "Since you want to leave, don't cause trouble."
Fatty Qiu said: "How can we leave without saving some food? Don't worry, it's just a meal, it's worth it!"
Wu Sheng shook his head and gave them an answer: "Leave tomorrow night."
Fatty Qiu nodded and said, "Then it's settled. By the way, Xuan Mingzi will sleep with you tonight. Will he still have the strength to leave tomorrow night?"
Wu Sheng was stunned: "What are you waiting for?"
Fatty Qiu said: "It's just to sleep with you, don't you know?"
