After switching to Wanbao Changwangfeng, Wu Sheng continued to dig. It was difficult to start digging 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 Wan Baochang knocking on the wall of the pool at the entrance of the cave, and quickly stepped back. As soon as they covered the stone slab, Long Er came in.
"Wu Sheng, come with me. Where is Xuan Mingzi? Where have you gone?" Long Er asked.
Wu Sheng replied: "I'm going to see Tian Da."
Long Er frowned and said, "Then wait for him to come 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 are coming 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 make a hole underneath, and then urged Wu Sheng and Wanbao to go down to the hole. The cave was not big, only about 10 feet, and it seemed very crowded after Wu Sheng and Wan Bao went down there.
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.
Wan Baochang 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 for Wu Sheng. Learn it carefully... and take it as a warning. Wan Baochang, give Wu Sheng a hand and carry him out. Teach him how to do it.”
Wan Baochang was experienced. He had dealt with Ning Fengzi's body, and 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 side 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 some black shadows on the other ice walls. When he went over to look, he saw corpses sealed inside.
Wu Sheng looked at this scene and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until Wan Baochang urged that Yin Changshou's corpse was stuffed into an empty round hole, head outside and 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 sprinkled 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 dark 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: "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 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. I'm the same person. 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, that's fine, but we must never be willing to be slaves!"
Long Er said calmly: "When your Yang Shen dissipates, you won't say that."
Burying the dead is an education in rules for newcomers. After the education, Long Er left. Looking at his leaving back, Wan Baochang scolded: "Wu Dao
Friend, why bother? Do you have to contradict him with these words? "
Wu Sheng said: "Nothing else. Just give him a few words, hoping to awaken some of his sense of autonomy. Maybe it will be useful at a critical moment."
Wan Baochang sighed: "We are all pitiful people. In fact, everyone is thinking about leaving the mountains 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 and the spirit mountain or the barrier dissipates, in order to save their lives, most of them will
All Hedao 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 corpse, what other rules are there?"
Wan Baochang said: "There are more in the future. I refused to accept it at first. I was sent to the top of the cliff and was frozen for a night. What a feeling... I thought, 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."
Returning to the ice cave, Xuan Mingzi still didn't come back. Wu Sheng asked Wan Baochang to continue to look out for the wind, and he went down to continue. Dig. When you dig to about 40 feet, come up and 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 her. Could it be that she was punished by Tian Da for revealing her flaws in her words?
But he and Tian Da both came from the Taiping era and could be called fellow villagers. Even if they didn't burst into tears after meeting each other, Tian Da wouldn't sell 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 and current rogue gangsters under Feng San. They were dealing with The methods used by the Qiu brothers were completely different from those used to deal with themselves. When I first arrived and had not yet climbed onto the high platform and could be said to be physically strong, they did not dare to take action and only dared to use their mouths. When dealing with the Qiu brothers, they were not so polite and beat them until the Qiu brothers fled with their heads in their hands.
After the gang finished beating them, they cursed and left. The Qiu brothers struggled to get up and limped toward the ice cave where their family lived. After a while, the two brothers appeared in front of Wu Sheng with bruises and swollen faces, asking him when he would escape.
Wu Sheng asked: "Why did the fight start?"
Fatty Qiu said: "Go to Feng Laosan's place to get some dried meat...it's okay. Fellow Daoist Wu, please give me a quick word. When can I leave?"
Wu Sheng said: "Since you are leaving, 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 kind of sleeping attendant?"
Fatty Qiu said, "I'm just sleeping with you, don't you know?"
