The strangest reaction, and the one that surprised Wang Dengming the most, was Master Qin. When Wang Dengming came back, Master Qin was chatting with Charlie Xiao in the tent.
"Well, you actually made it out alive?"
Wang Dengming: "What do you mean? Magic stick."
Master Qin showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "It doesn't mean anything. I've made a fortune for you. After you go in, you will definitely be dead. I didn't expect you to come out intact. Hey, it seems that my skills are still waiting for you." To improve."
Wang Dengming glared at him fiercely.
Charlie Xiao said: "Master Qin is going to leave the camp early tomorrow morning and return to Alasgumeng Town. He said this is what you agreed to, Sheriff."
Wang Dengming: "When did I agree?"
Master Qin was puzzled: "Sergeant Wang, with this red mouth and white teeth, you have to admit your debt. Didn't I tell you that within forty-eight hours, a python would eat someone? Why did you refuse?"
Wang Dengming smiled instead: "I just don't admit it. If I die, I will have to be the one who supports me. It's not that easy to leave."
"The legs are on my own feet, that's the truth."
"Correct, the legs are on your feet, but you don't know the way. The tribe won't take you out without my permission."
Master Qin shook his head helplessly: You are indeed a scoundrel!
In fact, as for Master Qin's prediction that a python will swallow people again within 48 hours, if Master Qin's calculation is not accurate, Wang Dengming may consider letting Master Qin leave first. The problem is, if his calculation is accurate, Wang Dengming will not let it. If he leaves, the danger of this death mountain is extremely high. With a guy who can pinch and calculate, the risk can be reduced a lot.
I heard that Wang Dengming came out of the cave, and the high priest also came to see him.
"Are there snakes in the cave?"
"Yes, they are all snakes, big ones, very aggressive, so spectacular."
The high priest thought for a while: "So, do you still dare to enter the cave to the east?"
Wang Dengming had some problems.
Master Qin smiled and said: 'Of course you can go in, but not now. '
High Priest: "Then when are you going to go in?"
Master Qin: "After the mystery of the curse of Death Mountain is solved, you can naturally enter."
The high priest nodded: "I very much hope that you can solve the mystery of the curse."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Wang Dengming: "Master, this person is like a ghost. I can't figure out what he is thinking."
Master Qin: "I solemnly remind you again that if we don't leave here tomorrow, we will really be in big trouble."
Wang Dengming straightened his neck: "I've already said that if you die, you have to be the one on your back. Don't even think about escaping. I also need to confirm again whether there is any treasure in the cave to the east?"
Master Qin smiled: "If you say yes, there will be. If you say no, then there won't be."
"Bullshit! Get out!"
The next time was when Wang Dengming and others were in shock. The detective's fall of the century was nothing serious. It was just a skin injury, so it was not a problem. The butcher Gordon Bu was hit by the tail of the python, so it was not a big problem. .
But there was no one of Butcher Gordon Bu's men, which made Butcher Gordon Bu feel guilty and irritable.
In the evening, the archaeological team came out of the temple. Dong Chuan found Wang Dengming and asked him to tell him about his experience in the cave.
After Wang Dengming finished narrating, Dong Chuan held the scales in his hand and pondered for a long time.
"What are you thinking about, Professor?"
"This is indeed a mysterious place. The longer we study the temple, the more uneasy we feel. I don't know why we feel like this."
"What exactly did you study from the murals?"
Dong Chuan looked around: "Curse."
Wang Dengming's whole body trembled: "Professor, what did you say?"
"What I'm saying is that the curse, the layout and design of the temple, as well as the murals, statues, spells, etc., have a strange fit. The team leader and I have the same concept. The temple was built for a certain curse. , this is our current preliminary research result, but other people in the archaeological team don’t think so, they have other opinions.”
"What do you think?"
"There are many opinions, but they are all immature. Let's talk about it later. I heard you say that the high priest said this is a cursed place. What is your opinion?"
Wang Dengming thought for a while: "It's hard to say. If it weren't for the two people who died in Scorpion the day before yesterday, their deaths were too strange. I don't believe in any curse. The appearance of the snake was at best an accident. This place is too closed for such a big snake to appear. , it makes sense, but if you think about it carefully, the snakes in the cave are really different from ordinary pythons. They move very fast and their heads are so hard that they can block bullets. This is incredible. Professor, you said, caves Those reptiles are really ancient living snakes."
Dong Chuan shook his head: "I don't know. The half-buried temple, stone carvings, and strange giant snakes in the picture are not just one, but a nest. It's all so strange. I have been engaged in archeology for thirty years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a bizarre thing. scene."
Wang Dengming: 'Should the archaeological team continue to study the temple? '
"Of course, no one will leave until we get some answers."
The two chatted for a while and then took a rest.
At nine o'clock in the night, Butcher Gordon Bu came to Wang Dengming: "Boss, Scorpion went to see the high priest. I don't know what the matter is."
What does Scorpion want from the high priest?
Wang Dengming left the tent and walked near the wooden shed where the high priest lived. He saw Xie Zi and the high priest chatting about something by the campfire.
Not long after, Scorpion and his followers left.
After Scorpion left, Wang Dengming came to the side of the high priest and sat down.
"I know why you came. You want to ask Captain Scorpion why he came to me, right?"
Wang Dengming smiled and said: "That's right. What does he want from you?"
"The man you rescued has a broken leg and is seriously injured. He wants me to help them lead the way and send them away tomorrow."
'you.....'
"I agreed. Of course, that man needs to be treated. Otherwise, his legs will not be saved. What else do you want to ask?"
"Where's Turing? Why didn't you see her?"
"She went to talk to your wizard."
Wang Dengming's eyes widened.
"That's right, she went to find your wizard. Her purpose was to get to know you. Your act of saving people made her have some naive views on you."
Wang Dengming said "Oh" and said goodbye.
He came to Master Qin's tent and saw Turing and Master Qin sitting on the ground at the entrance of the tent, talking and laughing, like friends, in perfect harmony.
Wang Dengming wanted to step forward, but in the end, he did not disturb the two of them and stood far away.
A person appeared next to Wang Dengming, it was Charlie Xiao.
"Sheriff, what does this chief's daughter mean? Does she fall in love with Master Qin?"
Wang Dengming: "Don't jump to conclusions, brother Charlie, I want to ask you something, why would the mayor send someone like you to cooperate with me?"
Charlie Xiao was stunned: "I don't understand, Sheriff, can you make it clearer?"
"You're a smart man, think for yourself."
