It turns out that there is a cave-like hidden space behind the shrine. Most of the attention was diverted to the break in the floor. It was difficult to notice the half-part trap on the side that was the same as the outer wall, and the seal on top.
Dirty cover cloth.
The reappeared arrow pointed directly here. However, the cloth looked dirty, but there was not much newly fallen dust, and the corresponding clues were finally exposed; however, Jiang Tian became more and more careful.
He suddenly jumped up with all his strength and kicked on the trap. In an instant, it shattered into pieces, and then he was still leaning against a heavy object. He heard a dull scream, and many things.
The sound of being knocked down by a reel.
Then Jiang Tian, who entered with a sword, glanced around the messy pavilion, only to find a pair of abandoned bows and arrows, and then heard the rapid clanking outside the gap of the broken window.
The sound of cracking roof tiles and violent gasps;
Then Jiang Tian raised his knife as if to lean out, but suddenly the knife stabbed the partition next to the window. The sharp tip of the knife penetrated through with almost no resistance; and the faint breathing sound on the partition wall turned into a stab into the human body.
There were rapid screams inside, and a heavy sound as it rolled down.
The next moment, Jiang Tian stepped out of the broken window and couldn't help but sneered:
"caught you.."
Not far away, there was a little old man with thin cheeks and spiky hair. He was climbing tremblingly on the edge of the incomplete outer eaves with all his strength. His somewhat twisted face was full of pain and panic.
"Little Gao, those dogs are not good at doing things, and they let you, a despicable person, ruin my big business..."
However, although the other party's life was hanging in the air, after seeing Jiang Tian, he became more and more fierce and screamed ferociously.
"Don't be complacent, my husband has a helping hand in Jingzhao Mansion and the two counties... I will definitely make your family suffer a bad death in the future; but in the name of my husband, I guarantee that the whole family will do everything in front of you."
Mortal to death."
Hearing this, even though he is a well-informed modern person, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel an indescribable nausea and disgust. Little did he know that such an old thief with an unspectacular appearance had already done this.
There are so many similar and outrageous things.
However, when Jiang Tian had a sullen face and reached out to catch him and interrogate him, he saw him smile strangely and miserably, so he released his grip first, and watched him slump down on the tile roof; only what was left was
A lingering sentence:
"Don't think about it! I just wish I had failed my husband..."
Then there was a muffled sound and a sharp scream that suddenly stopped; Jiang Tian looked out, only to find that the other party's body had been twisted and fell on the uneven stairs, and a large pool of blood flowed out from the back of his head and he was dead.
Well, it was a misjudgment. Now there was no one to ask, and the target had not been found yet. He did not give up and searched carefully in this secret little pavilion that was specially opened and filled with many messy objects.
It's a pity that apart from some scroll-like account books with words twisted like tadpoles in the wooden drawer, there are only some small items of unknown value left; some of them are like incomplete ornaments that have been cut off or torn off people's bodies.
part.
In addition, there are some drinking water, dry food, lamps, flints, needlework, rope bundles and other utensils full of life. Judging from the various stains left during the period, this secret stronghold of the abandoned temple seems to have been used one after another.
It seemed like a long time.
Then in a corner of the small room, Jiang Tian found something more practical, a few weapons of different lengths, and a pair of old and new bows and arrows that had been ignored outside the window. Obviously this was another assassin.
The thief who fell to death from injuries was the weapon he used to snipe himself.
However, after Jiang Tian held this set of bows and arrows in his hands, he suddenly had a different feeling and mood. It reminded him of the hunting bows and spear-throwing tools handmade by local people on the African savannah in his early years.
The scene of those beasts.
Well, if I hadn't been so coquettish about using these hunting tools, I wouldn't have been attracted by the "first beauty" of the tribe who is eight feet horizontally and eight feet tall, walking in a human-shaped water tank, and the chief with "numerous" suitors.
My daughter was fascinated by it.
After all, in a domestic atmosphere where firearms have been banned for a long time, being able to recreate scenes with cold weapons and play bow and arrow competitions and field hunting competitions is already the highest limit for most ancient war fans and enthusiasts in reality.
.
After he cleaned up the corpses lying downstairs or Chen Heng one by one, he gathered them into the inner hall, and divided the various objects found into two piles of useful and useless ones.
Jiang Tian suddenly had an idea in his heart, or he was inspired to pick up the remaining half of the charcoal sticks in the brazier and scrawled a few words on the wall board:
"Everything is empty, everything is allowed,"
"Nothing is true, everything is possible."
"The body walks in the dark night, but the heart is in the light."
At the same time, he kept knocking on the four wall panels and continued searching until he came to a screen. Suddenly, there was a small sound in response, and then from behind the screen fan that had been knocked down, a mass of something rolled out and hit him.
At feet.
It was a petite figure that was gagged, blindfolded, and tied up like a silkworm baby. It was struggling with a moaning sound. Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel a big stone fall to the ground, and a burst of emotion surged from the bottom of his heart.
Inexplicable joy and throbbing
Cutting off the restraints and lifting the covering on the other person's face, he saw the dirty childish face and the bright eyes full of tears; Jiang Tian's tense body and nerves slowly relaxed unconsciously,
It seems that this is the goal that his predecessor was desperately trying to find.
It's just that the other party looked horrified and desperately trying with tears in his eyes, obviously not recognizing himself. Just as Jiang Tian was about to say something, he was kicked on the calf one after another by the other party who was struggling to move up, and he couldn't help but stop.
come down;
Well, he spread his hands helplessly, but saw his current image in the water bowl reflecting the moonlight on the side. His unkempt face was covered with mottled blood and dirt, and he grinned as if he wanted to eat people.
of horror.
Well, if you take two green onions and pinch them at the corner of your mouth, you can cosplay Daniel Wu and shout "Orcs will never be slaves";
So, after Jiang Tian wet his sleeves with water and wiped it vigorously on his face a few times, he tried his best to show his helplessness to the loli who was also rolling on the ground with a dirty face and trying to squirm away like a worm.
smile.
"Luo'er, it's me..."
Her expression of uncontrollable horror finally turned into a kind of surprise and disbelief; then she twisted her body vigorously and tried to pounce on her; when Jiang Tian smoothly removed the last restraints on her, it became even more...
It was hanging upside down like a baby koala.
However, Jiang Tian noticed another thing. After struggling for a long time with tears streaming down his face, this dirty-faced loli was like a babbling kitten, unable to utter a single word.
"Could it be..."
He frowned and gestured to the girl's mouth; the girl also pinched her small mouth with tears in her eyes, and made some kind of pouring gesture with her other hand.
Then, Jiang Tian couldn't help but hold him in his arms, gently caressing his shivering back and comforting him:
"It's okay. It's okay. Now that I'm here, everything doesn't matter. Just find someone to pick you up and treat you later..."
And at the moment he came into contact with her, a new prompt appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision again: "Contact target successful, weak variable deflection, function unlocking... Quantum collection in progress, mission completion progress (1/2
).."
However, this warm moment of reunion and anticipation could not last long. The sounds and voices coming from the grass in the distance made Jiang Tian's ears prick up again.
He quickly comforted the girl and made a shushing gesture, then he grabbed a bow and arrow and leaned down to the hole in the roof. In the other direction of the courtyard, he saw the grass rippling in the night wind, which was like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Suddenly, under the dim and uncertain moonlight, several figures carrying lanterns appeared.
However, the clothes of these people are much more decent and neat than the evil boys with short crotches and half shirts and the thieves with half wide clothes; they also all have sword-like things on their waists, just standing there
There is only a solemn and awe-inspiring atmosphere there.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but pick up the bow and arrow on the ground and gently pull it open to test the strength, and then gestured to the person in the distance. At this time, several green annotations suddenly flashed in his field of vision: "Old Hunting Bow"
"
Jiang Tian couldn't help but stare at this line of comments with all his concentration, but he was surprised and happy to figure out in his heart, had he finally triggered any new mechanisms and functions after making trouble for so long?
At this time, the belated prompt appeared in his field of vision again: "Unlock the active mode, do you want to enable weapon mastery?...Do you want to inject energy to strengthen..."
Then, with a sudden thought in his mind, an invisible, faint groove suddenly appeared in the outline of the bow and arrow; there were also two more words "familiar" beside the explanation of the bow and arrow.
The next moment, Jiang Tian felt that the old bow and arrow he had just used for the first time in his hand felt as smooth as if it had been reborn; it also seemed as if he had used it many times, and he could grasp every bit of it without even looking.
Details like elasticity and size.
At the same time, some words that sounded careless were blown into Jiang Tian's ears intermittently with the wind:
"Why haven't I seen anyone coming to greet me... Isn't there anyone outside watching the wind..."
"Why... those evil boys and idlers, I'm afraid they are not so safe..."
"Whether it's safe or not, as long as we can get the person...someone will take care of the rest."
"Don't look down on these urban foxes and rats. The weird tricks they do on the streets are their strengths."
"If this were not the case, I would have to drive this generation to do what the nobles above have told me so that they can be carried out cleanly and efficiently without leaving too many traces behind..."
"I heard that this is a rare item that you have a chance to get..."
"Shut up, that's someone who's named someone, so don't have any wishful thinking..."
"What a noble person you are... You have to go through so much trouble, let me tell you..."
"Of course it's the kind that would cost you your life if you knew the whereabouts..."
