It turns out that behind this shrine is a cave-like hidden space. Most of the attention was diverted only 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 dirty cover on it.
The reappeared arrow points directly here. It's just that the cloth looked dirty, but there wasn't much new dust on it, and the corresponding clues were finally revealed; however, Jiang Tian became more and more cautious.
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 knife, glanced around in 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.."
It was a little old man with thin cheeks and spiky hair not far away. 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 important affairs..."
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 promise that the whole family will do everything in front of you." One to die."
Hearing this, despite being a well-informed modern man, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of nausea and disgust. But he didn't know that such an old thief with an unspectacular appearance had already done many similar and harmful things.
Just when Jiang Tian had a sullen face and reached out to catch him and interrogate him, he saw him smile strangely and miserably and released his grip first, watching him slump down on the tile roof; only what was left was The lingering words:
"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 limbs 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 from people or pulled or torn off. part.
In addition, there are some drinking water, dry food, lamps, candles, 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. Apparently this was the weapon that another thief who was stabbed and fell to death had used to snipe himself.
However, after Jiang Tian held this bow and arrow in his hands, he suddenly had a different feeling and mood. But it reminded him of his early years on the African savannah, using locals' handmade hunting bows and spear-throwing tools to deal with those wild beasts.
Well, if I hadn't been so coquettish in using these hunting tools, I wouldn't have been attracted by the tribe's "first beauty" who was eight feet horizontally and eight feet tall, walking in the shape of a human-shaped water tank, and the chief with "numerous" suitors. My daughter was impressed.
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 crawling bodies or Chen Heng's corpses downstairs one by one, he gathered them into the inner hall, and then divided the various objects found into two piles of useful and useless piles.
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:
"All things are false, all things are permitted,"
“Nothing is true and all actions are possible.”
"The body is walking 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 ball 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, struggling with a whimpering sound. Jiang Tian couldn't help but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and a burst of inexplicable joy and palpitations surged from the bottom of his heart.
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 wanted with tears in his eyes, obviously failing to recognize him. Just as Jiang Tian was about to say something, he was kicked in the calf one after another by the opponent who was struggling to move up, and he couldn't help but stop;
Well, he spread his hands helplessly, but saw his current image in the water bowl reflecting the moonlight on the side. His unkempt hair was covered with mottled blood, dirt and dirt, and his grin was as terrifying as if he wanted to eat people.
Well, take two green onions and pinch them at the corner of your mouth, and you can COS like 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 hard 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 say a single word.
"Could it be..."
He frowned and gestured to the girl's mouth; the girl also pinched her mouth with tears in her eyes and made some kind of pouring motion with her other hand.
Then, Jiang Tian couldn't help but hold him in his arms, gently caressing his trembling 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 when he came into contact with her, a new prompt appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision again: "Contact target successful, weak variables deflected, functions being unlocked... In quantum collection, mission completion progress (1/2 ).."
However, this kind of warm moment and expectation of reunion after the disaster 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, and it was like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the grass. 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 waists and half shirts and the thieves with half wide clothes; they also all have sword-like things on their waists, just standing there There was just an awe-inspiring aura there.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but pick up the bow and arrow on the ground and gently pulled it open to test the strength, and then gestured at the person in the distance. At this time, several green annotations "Old Hunting Bow" suddenly flashed in his field of vision.
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, after such a long time of trouble, did he finally trigger any new mechanisms and functions?
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, a slightly invisible and 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 stretch 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 are probably not that 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 rare 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 where you came from..."
