Chapter 347 I calculated with my fingers, I am afraid there will be a bloody disaster tonight
The night is long and I can’t sleep.
The water of the Yangtze River shimmers with tiny silver lights in the moonlight, flickering with the waves.
Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang stood by the river. The night wind blew past, lifting the ends of their hair and clothes and making the dense trees above their heads rustle. However, the bright moonlight could not illuminate their shadows.
Under the protection of Word Spirit·Mingzhao, they stood by the river like two ghosts.
This place was not the fishing spot where Xia Mi and Chu Zihang went in the afternoon. It was two or three miles away from the B&B, and even farther away from Kassel College and the Tang and Zhou families.
"It must be said that Mingzhao is really good at stealing things." Old Tang sighed in a low voice. Just now, as the two of them were walking along the road, only a few big dogs noticed someone passing by, but they didn't dare to shout, but just lowered their heads and wagged their tails.
Even if it was directly fished out, I'm afraid it wouldn't even make a sound.
Lu Mingfei ignored his sigh, staring at the rushing river, took two steps forward on the moist soil and broken leaves on the river bank, squatted down and put one hand into the cold river water.
Seeing this, Old Tang said nothing. He carefully moved forward and held his breath, for fear of disturbing Lu Mingfei's practice.
The two of them came here quietly tonight, leaving everyone behind, not to steal or go fishing, but to find the graves of Old Tang and his brother.
For this purpose, Lu Mingfei even sent Chu Zihang to use the beauty trap in order to delay Xiaolongnu who had no idea what she was up to.
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes, and the restless giant snake that was bound deep in his mind was instantly freed. It rushed out from his arm that was stretched into the river and spread wildly in the rolling Yangtze River.
The Word Spirit Snake is a kind of bioelectric current, and its spreading speed and expansion range vary depending on the conductor.
If it was Ye Sheng, in an environment full of river water, it would be enough to strengthen his spiritual field to a radius of five kilometers. As for Lu Mingfei, he did not know where the limit was yet, but covering the entire Baidi City ruins would definitely not be a problem.
In Lu Mingfei's perception, the entire Yangtze River turned into a transparent three-dimensional map.
He saw the ecosystem of the Yangtze River. All kinds of fish, shrimps and crabs sensed the great terror coming, and chaos broke out wherever the snake passed.
Suddenly, a "snake" touched something unusual. It was an underwater tomb that had been marked by humans, with obvious signs of excavation at the entrance.
Controlling the "snake" to continue exploring deeper, the interior of the tomb was in a mess, with burial objects scattered everywhere, but they were all ordinary Han Dynasty artifacts, and there was not even a single thing that looked like an alchemical tool.
Lu Mingfei ignored it and controlled the snake to continue spreading towards Kuimen and Wu Gorge.
Soon, he saw the remains of a city that had been sleeping underwater for a thousand years. The broken stone steps, collapsed walls, and scattered bronze fragments maintained their last dignity in the mud.
I also saw a few boats floating on the water and parked on the shore, as well as...
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, and this subtle change in expression was immediately caught by Old Tang.
"Did you find anything?" Old Tang took a step closer and lowered his voice to a very low level.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, his golden pupils gradually extinguished, and he nodded and shook his head: "No, I was discovered."
Old Tang: “?!”
On the river, a sharp buzzing sound came from the research boat that Kassel College had obtained through connections, piercing the silence of the night.
"Captain, we have detected a strong bioelectric current erupting underwater, at an incredibly fast speed, and the coverage area is even beyond our monitoring range!"
The blond and blue-eyed first mate dialed Professor Mans' number immediately. His voice was urgent. The waveform representing the bioelectric signal on the monitoring station jumped violently, and the peak value instantly exceeded the upper limit of the range.
Professor Mans was still reading the materials for staying up late. He was shocked when he heard this. He turned on his computer and connected to the system on the research ship. Looking at the familiar waveform, he frowned and said:
"Is this... a snake?"
He knew that the top Word Spirit Snake owner was Ye Sheng, but the other party's domain range and spread speed were not that fast.
Detection of this scale has exceeded the scope of the release of word spirits by ordinary hybrids. It should be noted that Nikola Tesla, the discoverer and namer of this word spirit, also relied on amplifying coils and terrifying elemental turbulence to break the limit range of this word spirit.
Could it be that the one who released the word spirit was not a hybrid, but a dragon?
This is the dragon tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire, and it was also its home here before. There is a guard dog at home and a gravekeeper at the tomb.
The corpse guards that escaped from Wushan before, as well as the tens of thousands of snake-shaped and dragon-shaped corpse guards in Takamagahara on the seabed of Japan a few days ago are still vivid in Mans's mind. He doesn't dare to gamble at all.
His face instantly turned livid, and he stood up and shouted, "Immediately enter emergency combat readiness, everyone on alert, notify the Tang and Zhou families, we may be in big trouble!"
The sound was like a loud bell, instantly penetrating the soundproof house and startling all the Kassel soldiers who were either sleeping or on duty.
Ye Sheng and Caesar arrived first, but saw that Professor Mans was already ready to go. When he saw the two of them arriving, he waved to them to follow.
"Professor, what happened?" Ye Sheng glanced at the stairs and saw Jiude Aki running down in a hurry.
"We just monitored a terrifying bioelectric current spreading underwater, which even exceeded our monitoring range!" Professor Mans explained it clearly in a few words. He felt a little regretful at this moment. Originally, he was eating and living on the boat. He had stayed at the stronghold for the past two days because of the arrival of Caesar, Ye Sheng, Lu Mingfei and others.
Otherwise, it would be more convenient for him to be on the front line to command and dispatch, and not everything would need to be broadcast like it does now.
"Is it the Dragon King who has resurrected or the dragon servant who is guarding the dragon tomb?!" Caesar also asked, with a burning desire to fight in his eyes.
He had just arrived for one day and had already encountered such a big thing. I don’t know if it was because he had a trouble-making physique, or if it was Lu Mingfei’s aura that caused trouble wherever he went.
"It's not clear yet." Professor Mans shook his head seriously. Because the Moniah failed to enter the country and their weapons of mass destruction could not be transported in, the only dragon-slaying force they could rely on was Tang Zhou and his family.
He ordered: "Ye Sheng, go inform Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei."
Ye Sheng was stunned when he heard this, then immediately nodded, took out his cell phone and started calling people.
As expected, Lu Mingfei's phone prompted that the user's phone was turned off.
In fact, after hearing what Professor Mans said just now, Ye Sheng suspected that the sudden outbreak of bioelectricity that covered the Yangtze River was caused by Lu Mingfei. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Lu Mingfei releasing the Word Spirit Snake, and he was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
When they were in Japan before, Lu Mingfei had asked him about the Kuimen Project, and he thought there must be a plan behind it.
Since the call didn’t go through, he didn’t try again and called Chu Zihang, but it didn’t go through again.
Looking up, Professor Mans had already rushed out to drive the car, and then turned to look for that guy Finkel.
The commotion here was naturally noticed by the Tang and Zhou families. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, they did not dare to delay and directly sent people to rush to the place where the boat was docked on the river bank.
Zhou Minhao had just finished dealing with the matter of Bai Shanglu when he was dragged along to prepare to suppress the river monster that might appear.
The three groups of soldiers boarded their carriages and were about to set off when they received news that the bioelectric current had disappeared and nothing had happened in the Yangtze River.
The sonar system did not pick up any special signals, not even a slightly stronger heartbeat.
Now, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but to be on the safe side they still went to take a look.
…
The moment Lu Mingfei retracted all the "snakes", the monitoring signals on the river surface suddenly disappeared, leaving everyone at Kassel Academy looking at each other in astonishment.
The two of them walked through the forest in the night. Old Tang's voice came from the air: "What's going on? How did the people from Kassel College find you?"
"The Word Spirit Snake can be scanned by their equipment. If it was as small as Ye Sheng, he might have been discovered later. Unfortunately, I am too big." Lu Mingfei said.
"So what should we do now, go back or continue?" Old Tang asked again.
"Let's go back first. We've already alerted the enemy." Lu Mingfei was not in a hurry. "I just looked around and found nothing underwater, so there's a high probability that Lao Kang is deep underground now."
Because of the rising water level due to reservoir construction, the main body of the Baidi Ancient City has been submerged, leaving only the Baidi Temple still on the water. He had just found the ruins of Baidi City, but did not find the legendary Bronze City, the Dragon King's bedroom.
According to Kassel Academy, the King of Bronze and Fire blew up Baidi City with a Candle Dragon and perished together with the enemy. It is unknown what the ancient terrain was like, but since this place is called a mountain city, it has been surrounded by mountains since ancient times and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so naturally there are many mountains.
Perhaps the Bronze City was buried by the rocks that were blown down by Zhulong, and was then covered by loose soil and silt for thousands of years, and was gradually hidden underground.
"Underground, what should we do?" Old Tang felt a little tricky when he heard this. He was also a frequent tomb raider, but he was basically on land and had never been to an underwater tomb raider.
"Can you find the entrance?"
Separated by the Yangtze River and the land, even though Old Tang now knows that he has an extraordinary life experience, he still has not regained all his strength and memory. He is helpless and can only rely on Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei had a guess. Back then, Old Tang was probably buried underground just like Constantine, but somehow he suddenly woke up and ran out by himself, and even went across the ocean.
But this all shows that Old Tang must have a way to enter and exit the Bronze City. Maybe when he gets there and puts on an Open Sesame suit, the earth will crack and the river will recede to welcome the king.
Even if it wasn't that magical, Lu Mingfei still had a way to carve out a passage.
Wasn't it said that the Kusanagi sword could cut the world in half that day? It was so exaggerated. How could a mere few dozen meters of land be a problem for it?
But there is no need to rush. He said, "I have encountered corpse guards in Wushan before. There was a mountain that was dug up and filled with a bunch of corpse guards with green faces and fangs. If they are guards, maybe there is a road leading to the Bronze City in the mountain."
"If there were, wouldn't the people from Kassel College have gone to dig it out long ago?" Old Tang wondered.
“In order to cover up their traces, they simply blocked the cave.” Lu Mingfei shrugged.
Because of his phone call, there are still people from government departments keeping an eye on Wuxia, for fear that some foreign forces might come to sabotage under the guise of filming.
It was for this reason that Kassel Academy had no way of starting work on the corpse-guarding dormitory in Wushan. After all, digging with a construction vehicle would make too much noise, and it would take forever to dig if they did it themselves.
"Why not go now instead of waiting for another day?" Old Tang was getting a little impatient.
“Look, you’re in a hurry again.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand, signaling him to be patient: “It’s dozens of kilometers from here to Wu Gorge. Even if you fly, you’ll have to…”
Halfway through his words, Lu Mingfei suddenly froze and rubbed his chin: "Hiss - you know what, it seems to really work."
Seeing this, Old Tang's eyes lit up: "Then walk?"
Lu Mingfei turned around and walked down the mountain: "Follow me."
Ten minutes later, a barely perceptible voice came from a farmyard: "Fellow villager, can you lend me your car?"
The five black dogs chained in the yard dared not to be angry or say anything. They just locked their bodies in the dog cages, put their front paws on their foreheads, and watched their owner's old partner disappear into the air with a pair of pitiful eyes.
When the smell that frightened the dog went away, the poor dog let out a howl and tears flowed silently.
In the shadow of the village road outside, Old Tang stared in amazement as Lu Mingfei pushed out a rusty old Phoenix bicycle. He said in disbelief, "No, Mingming, are you planning to ride this thing?"
The chain of this thing is all rusted and broken. It's faster to ride it than to ride a dog.
"Stop talking nonsense, there's no time to explain, get in the car!" Lu Mingfei ignored him, got in the car directly, rang the half bell that was completely silent, and urged urgently.
Old Tang swallowed his saliva and tremblingly got on the back seat where he could easily get tetanus if he sat naked.
The next second, the entire bicycle groaned under the heavy load, and then Lu Mingfei shouted, "Take off!"
Word Spirit·Sword Control!
The rusty old phoenix soared into the sky with the blessing of the Word Spirit, carrying two big boys partying under the moonlight and cutting through the night sky of Kuimen.
“Wuhu takes off—” Lu Mingfei pedaled hard, letting the chain of the Old Phoenix bicycle make a “creaking” sound under the heavy load, and with the blessing of Word Spirit·Sword Control, it turned into an invisible misty black smoke that passed across the sky in an instant.
Old Tang held Lu Mingfei's waist tightly, fearing that he would be thrown off by the speeding bicycle if he wasn't careful: "Mingming, slow down, you're going too fast!"
“You should say I was riding too fast!” Lu Mingfei shouted without even turning his head. As it concerned a man’s dignity, he had to clarify that he was not riding fast at all!
Old Tang raised his head and wanted to get close to him and yell in his ear, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with wind, his face was distorted and he almost couldn't breathe.
About a song's time later, Lu Mingfei flew Lao Tang to Wu Gorge.
After looking around for a while, he anchored on the hilltop he had been to before and reminded, "Hold on tight, we'll be getting off soon."
After saying that, without waiting for Old Tang to react, the bicycle did a vertical dive like a bungee jumping machine and fell from a height of a thousand meters.
Even though Old Tang remained calm while playing various thrilling rides in the amusement park, that was because he had protective measures. Now he had to rely on his two arms as safety belts without any protective measures, and he was frightened to the point of turning into Chu Zihang.
The bicycle landed steadily on a remote hillside somewhere in Wushan and slid all the way to the bottom of the mountain. As soon as Old Tang jumped off the bike, he held onto a tree trunk and retched.
This is not a physiological reaction, but a psychological reaction.
He still considered himself a human being, but Lu Mingfei no longer considered him a human being.
Lu Mingfei was about to make a joke when his ears suddenly moved and he raised his hand to signal for silence.
There was a rustling noise coming from the bushes not far away, mixed with the sound of hushed arguments:
"Didn't they say there was a zongzi resurrected here before? Where is it?"
"I told you it's this way! Look at the red dot on the map..."
"Bullshit! I drew the map, how come I didn't know there was a red dot on it?"
"Ahem, well, that was the chili oil I accidentally dropped on it when I was having dinner last night."
Five fully armed men who looked like a professional gang came out from the bushes. The burly leader was wiping the chili oil off the map.
When the two sides met, the air froze instantly, Old Tang stopped retching, and the professional gang stopped arguing.
“Uh, good evening?” Lu Mingfei smiled and patted the old Phoenix bicycle under his crotch: “Well, we are here for a night ride, passing by, passing by…”
Upon hearing this, several strong men looked at each other, and then raised the pickaxes, shovels, hoes, spades and axes in their hands.
