"This matter is too bizarre, and it is indeed difficult to get started. Why don't you tell us about your encounter just now? Where is Boss Zhao?"
"Escaped." Zhao Ermu replied: "He just woke up when the flood came, and then took advantage of the chaos to break free and escape."
"Where did you escape?"
"Another tunnel, oh! Tell me, what's the trouble for him?! Even if he can't be drowned if he escapes there, can the man named Xue let him go?"
"Boss Zhao has lost his mind. There is nothing we can do about it. What then? You just fled back along the same route?"
"Um."
"Why don't you go to the stone building in the middle of the tunnel? I remember that the stone building is very high and the water shouldn't be able to flood it."
"Hmph! It's not like He Siniang is worried about your safety and insists on dragging me to report to you."
"Don't listen to his nonsense." He Siniang interrupted: "We saw that the water was too strong and we were worried that the pillars of the stone building would collapse, so we directly chose to escape inside."
"Ha, quite arrogant." Zhao Ermu curled his lips.
"Can you get down to business? Your eldest brother's life or death is uncertain, but you're still in the mood to be a matchmaker here!"
"Then what's the plan? I'm not sure whether I'll live or die, so what's the use of worrying about others? Besides, I know my eldest brother's temper best. If he's allowed to live crazy for the rest of his life, it would be better to kill him, not to mention amputating his arm. "
"It is better to die than to live. Old Mrs. Qi is already a hundred years old, so she is still thinking of various ways to survive."
"The old monster is not worth living." The Taoist Priest with a grimace interjected: "Not many people in the world can live as long as her. We have to kill her, otherwise the poor Taoist will be afraid of becoming a spirit."
"I regret that she died too quickly and could not avenge all the sorrows of this desperate girl!"
"That's all right. The old witch has been tortured by the poor Taoist for a while in the tomb, and you just happened to take her life. This can be regarded as an end to this grudge. As the saying goes, "One death will end a hundred sorrows and all the sorrows and grudges will disappear." Then Li Tianwen did so many evil things to Pindao, wouldn't Pindao feel relieved after his death?"
"I am just complaining, so what if there is still hatred in my heart? After all, she is dead."
"It's good to think so."
"Oh, by the way, Taoist priest." Zhao Ermu suddenly asked: "Where has that corpse king gone?"
"Eighty percent of it sank to the bottom of the water." The grim-faced Taoist priest recounted the previous encounter in detail. When he talked about the fierce battle under the water, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire and brag about it. Zhao Ermu was stunned for a moment and couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my mother, you are so awesome, Taoist priest! Are you just going to be killed by the Corpse King?"
"That's natural, but..." The Taoist priest with a grimace changed the topic, suddenly went up and grabbed Zhao Ermu's collar, and asked: "Did you fucking lie again? The real dragon-bearing man is you, right?"
Zhao Ermu was obviously stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "How did you know?"
Seeing his answer, the grim-faced Taoist priest immediately confirmed that his guess was correct, and then told him what he found at the bronze mirror, and then said contemptuously: "You have eight hundred damn minds in your body. When the poor Taoist finds out that you have entered the fight, you will Not a word of truth."
"Probably not before entering the fight." He Siniang echoed from the side.
"Oh! Isn't this all forced by the situation!" Zhao Ermu slapped the grimace Taoist priest's hand away and continued: "If I tell you in advance, what if you can't help it and bite me halfway?"
"Do you think we are rice dumplings? Hey! Do you believe that Pindao will take a bite of you right now?"
"Xinxinxin, please put your teeth away quickly." Zhao Ermu rubbed to the side to keep himself away from the teeth of the grim-faced Taoist priest. Then he straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Since you have guessed it, then I won't hide it. , the Zhao family’s dragon-bearer is indeed me, and I have to explain one thing, regarding the use of the blue dragon’s blood to help your friends after the matter is completed, I never intended to trick you from the beginning to the end.”
"real?"
"Of course, you and I are not enemies, so why should I refuse to save you? I lied to you before, just so that Lama can continue smoothly."
Seeing the seriousness of what he said, the grimace Taoist believed it in his heart. Moreover, the identity of the Dragon-bearing Man was already known. Even if he continued to betray his faith, he could sneak attack him. The most important thing at the moment was how to get out, so he said: "Hey, I hope you
If we can keep our promises, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and alienation is not the way to survive. "
"Just rest assured, as long as we get out of here, I will definitely use the blood of the blue dragon to save your friend, but the current situation..."
Before Zhao Ermu finished speaking, the surroundings of the tomb passage suddenly began to shake again. The three of them hurriedly stood up and held on to the wall while looking around with horrified faces.
Fortunately, the shaking passed quickly. After a frightened three people, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the fear on their faces was gone, the fear still lingered in their hearts.
"What's going on?! You're not going to get wet again, are you?"
"No." He Siniang shook her head: "It seems that my previous guess was correct. There should be an earthquake near Xingcheng."
"earthquake?"
"Yes, have you ever heard that "after a severe drought there will be an earthquake"?"
"There is also a saying like this near the Qiang land." Zhao Ermu replied: "Folks call this "turtle patterns on the soil and earth dragons turning over", but I think these are all unfounded rumors and cannot be true at all."
"Yes, not to mention that the Qiang land has experienced drought nine times out of ten years. You want to use this as a basis for whether there will be an earthquake..."
"Listen to me first. This kind of rumor should be viewed from both sides, but don't forget about this flood. I made an inference based on this flood."
"What does earthquakes have to do with floods?" Zhao Ermu scratched his head: "I haven't heard that earthquakes can bring out water."
"Thank you for staying in Qiang land for so long." He Siniang rolled her eyes at Zhao Ermu and asked, "Haven't you ever heard of a big lake near here?"
"Yes." Zhao Ermu didn't understand the meaning of He Siniang's words and replied to himself: "The northwest of Gaoping Town is full of mountains. It is said that there are two lakes in the mountains. One is in the west, called "Dao Lake" "The other one is in the northwest, called "Tianhu". You ask this... Huh? You don't mean to say..."
"Yes, I think the flood came from the lake. The previous shaking was most likely an earthquake, and the earthquake triggered a landslide, causing the river to flow out of the mountains. When it poured into the river, this sudden of floods.”
"Eh? From your analysis, it sounds like that, and what about these two lakes... I can't make a judgment on the island lake in the west, because it is deep in the mountains and is among the local people. It’s very mysterious, but the Tianhu Lake in the northwest is close to the Yellow River, and the terrain is also high and dangerous. If there is a big earthquake, it might really collapse.”
"So Siniang's conclusion is pretty close." The Taoist Priest with a grimace said, "If this flood really came from the landslide lake, it must have come and gone quickly, which is not bad for us. Good news."
"Yes, so as long as we wait patiently, I think the flood will recede in a short time."
