Chapter 348: Is Senior Brother Thinking About the Pretty Senior?
"You're not sleeping at night and you're out riding. Do you really think we're fools?"
The tall and fat man walking in front shouted angrily, but lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the wandering ghosts in the surrounding mountains and forests, or the rice dumplings that could only be brought down by black donkey hooves.
The darker-skinned man next to him also nodded in agreement, tapping his palm with the axe in his hand: "That's right, the chain is broken, where are you riding your horse?"
After these words were spoken, Lu Mingfei, who was smiling originally, restrained himself a little and just stared at them with a fake smile: "Are you bounty hunters?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" A young man held a Luoyang shovel in his hand and stared at it intently: "Or are you here to earn the bounty?"
The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader elbowed him, then looked Lu Mingfei and the others up and down and said, "Young man, didn't your parents teach you to stay at home after dark and not go out and walk around?"
"Brother Hu, why are you wasting time talking to them?" The tall fat man licked his lips, his eyes flashing with cruelty: "Didn't you say that the door must be opened with the blood of a living person? It just so happens that these two guys have delicate skin and tender flesh, so their blood must be fresh."
Lu Mingfei glanced at the tomb robbers and landed on the silent hooded man at the end:
"Where are you guys cosplaying Grave Robbers' Chronicles?"
To Lu Mingfei, the configuration of the five people who broke into the corpse cave looked a bit like Wu Laosan and Xiao Tianzhen, two assistants and a mute.
The first four were ordinary people, except for the hooded man walking at the end, who was a mixed-race with decent bloodline.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The tall fat man suddenly jumped up, picked up a shovel and smashed it hard on Lu Mingfei's face, as if he really wanted to kill him to silence him.
However, the young man sitting on the old Phoenix bicycle did not move and looked up.
Just one glance, just one glance, and the tall fat man's movements froze instantly, the shovel suspended in the air, and the whole person seemed to be paused.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, the fat on his face was trembling, and his lips were shaking but he couldn't utter a word.
The air seemed to freeze. Brother Hu and the other three men all perked up at the same time, tightly gripping their weapons in their hands, knowing that they might have run into a tough guy.
"Fat Viper, put down the shovel quickly. If you have something to say, why don't you talk nicely? I've told you several times to stop acting impulsively, but you won't change, right?" The middle-aged sturdy man retreated to advance, scolding the tall fat man who wanted to delay time, and kept glancing at the man in the black hood next to him.
They know their own business. The reason why they dare to venture into such a dangerous place is because they rely on this person.
At this time, the young man who was cosplaying as Men Youping was still standing still, but he could feel that the other party's momentum had changed, like a knife slowly being unsheathed.
This means that the two young men in front of him should be from that world just like him!
Lu Mingfei ignored them, turned to look at Old Tang, and shook his fist: "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"
Whoever loses will be responsible for dealing with them.
Old Tang also knew what kind of people these colleagues were. No matter whether they were bounty hunters or tomb robbers, they were all experts in breaking the law and committing crimes. Besides, they dared to curse and start the fight first, so naturally they would not have any scruples.
So the two of them started playing fist-guessing in front of the five people.
"Rock-Scissors-Paper!"
Lao Tang played scissors, and Lu Mingfei played rock.
"Tsk, what bad luck." Old Tang sighed, stretched his wrist, and was about to turn around to look at the lambs to be slaughtered.
At this moment, the hooded man moved, his movements were too fast to be human, and the long sword in his hand tore through the air with a sharp metallic buzzing sound.
The knife flashed like autumn water under the moon, heading straight for Old Tang’s throat!
This was an extremely fast knife strike, which reminded Old Tang of Inuyama He, a sword-wielding brothel owner in Japan. However, the latter's knife was faster and more fierce.
"Certainly!"
As soon as the words fell, the invisible field expanded instantly, and the long sword that was attacking through the wind suddenly froze in mid-air, as if it had been slashed by an invisible steel wire in mid-air and was tightly entangled and unable to move forward.
The knife stopped but the man did not. The hooded man rushed forward two steps due to inertia before his momentum was abruptly stopped. He was staggered by the knife that was frozen in mid-air.
Old Tang shook his head: "Sneak attacks are not a good habit."
He raised his right hand and gently clenched his five fingers. The long sword that was suspended in mid-air suddenly lost control, turned around and chopped straight towards his former master's forehead.
The hooded man reacted quickly, dropping his knife and leaning back to avoid it, but he didn't expect the long knife to have no backswing at all after it hit the air, and it hit him directly.
With a "bang", the blade cut through the skin, and blood immediately flowed down the hooded man's brow, staining half of his pale face red.
The sound was like a horn of attack, and all the metal products in the entire forest began to tremble.
The middle-aged man's hoe also flew out of his hand, spun 180 degrees in the air, and hit his own face heavily. The sound of his broken nose was clearly audible.
There was a "crack" sound at the side, and the dark-skinned man's arm was broken by his own axe.
The baby-faced young man was so frightened that he dropped his Luoyang shovel and turned to run, but he saw that all the metal products in the bag were suspended in the air, forming a shining barrier in front of him.
As soon as he stopped, the Luoyang shovel he had thrown away came from behind, hitting him on the knee and knocking him to his knees. Before he could cry out in pain, he was hit again on the back of his head. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Hearing the screams of his accomplice, the tall fat guy had no idea that he had gotten into trouble with a dirty guy. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He wanted to beg for mercy, but the man with the shovel in his hand dragged his fat arm and poked his Adam's apple hard, blocking all his words of begging for mercy.
The hooded man, whose face was covered in blood and had red marks from the knife, moved quickly. After determining that the opponent was not an enemy, he turned around and fled, completely ignoring his four suffering teammates, and his speed was comparable to that of a cheetah.
However, no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the knife.
A startling white streak flashed by, and the blade pierced through the shoulder and then went out of the body. With such powerful force, it actually nailed the hooded man to the tree.
In a short while, the hooded man was the only one left awake among the five tomb robbers. Lu Mingfei asked him some questions but didn't get much useful information.
They were tomb robbers active in Sichuan and Shu. Although they were famous, they did not dare to show off too much. After all, the Zhou family was really nosy. They almost didn't come back after a trip to Xiangbei.
This time they had accepted a large bounty and were prepared to disband the team after completing the job. After dividing the bounty, everyone went about their business and lived their lives as ordinary people. Unfortunately, they had just arrived at the place and bypassed the security when they ran into two evil spirits.
Lu Mingfei asked what kind of evil method was needed to offer sacrifices to the door with the blood of living people. The hooded man only said that his ancestor was the earliest tomb raider. It was said that he had seen a door that was as solid as a rock and had no keyhole. It could not be pushed open even with a huge force. It would only open after drinking enough human blood. Now they wanted to find the ancient knife, and it was most likely hidden in it.
When asked who else knew about the incident involving the zongzi in Wushan, the hooded man named a few more people, who were also bounty hunters who robbed tombs. However, they were the only ones who had arrived and successfully circumvented the outer surveillance.
After hastily burying the body, Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang rode the old Phoenix up the mountain again.
The traces left by the corpse guards' previous outburst have not yet been completely covered up, but if you don't look closely, you won't know what they did. In addition, the people behind the scenes deliberately distorted it, so even if you see something unusual, you will think it is the traces left by the so-called Sino-foreign co-production movie.
The collapsed mountain pass was covered with a layer of grass. Lu Mingfei took the long knife that he had borrowed and had no intention of returning, and found a thinner mountain wall not far away. He raised his knife and slashed it, and the Judgment Spirit turned into an excavator to dig.
The dirt and rocks flew everywhere. Old Tang was watching in amazement. "King Bai would never have thought that you could use Judgment like this."
“Do you understand why we should make the best use of everything?” Lu Mingfei didn’t even raise his head and just kept digging.
If a real estate developer or contractor saw this scene, he would probably kneel down and beg him, saying, "I have been wandering for half my life and have never seen such a congenital civil engineering saint body. If you don't forsake me, I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse!"
When Lan Xiang saw this, he had to urgently start a research project on how excavators can coexist with Lu Mingfei.
Soon, a passage that could accommodate one person was opened. Lu Mingfei casually brought the hot air from the outside into it, blowing away the smoke and the stench of decay coming from inside.
The rubble fell down, covering the newly dug hole again, and Lu Mingfei stepped forward.
Old Tang followed him into the cave. After walking a few dozen steps, he saw a huge mountain that had been hollowed out. There were countless hanging coffins inside. The coffin lids were opened, and the corpses lying inside had long disappeared. Many scratches left by sharp claws could be seen between the ground and the rock wall.
It was also the first time that Lu Mingfei saw the corpse guards’ lair. There were weapons placed in many places, but they were all rotten. Otherwise, the corpse guards would not have fought with the people from Kassel Academy with empty hands after waking up.
There were no murals recording history inside the hollowed-out mountain. Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang jumped directly down on their old Phoenix bicycles and flew to the bottom.
The air at the bottom was not turbid, and there was no accumulation of waste poisonous gas, but the range was a little large, and it would take some time to find the possible secret passage with a flashlight. Lu Mingfei simply activated the Word Spirit Snake again. This time, he would not be discovered again from a distance of dozens of miles.
Old Tang didn't bother anyone else and wandered around underground by himself, looking at this coffin, then that coffin. I don't know if he was trying to get a glimpse of his past self from them, or if his occupational disease as a bounty hunter had kicked in and he wanted to find some valuables to exchange for money for wine.
However, these corpse guards were only gatekeepers, so they had no valuables. Not even a trace that could give people a glimpse of their past glory could be found.
"Oh my god!" Lu Mingfei's scream of pain came from the other side.
"What's wrong? Is this road blocked?" Old Tang looked over curiously.
Lu Mingfei nodded: "There was indeed a passage here originally, but I don't know if it was blocked by an earthquake or something else."
Just now his snake spread out all the way inside, and finally led directly to the Baidi Mountain in the distance. Unfortunately, the world has changed dramatically, and this road has long been cut off by natural disasters and is blocked.
If you really want to go from here, you may have to find the King of the Earth and Mountains who is somewhere unknown to be your excavator girl.
But it doesn’t matter. The location has been determined and we can just start digging when the time comes.
"Let's go, let's go back." Lu Mingfei dusted himself off and cheered up his tired spirit. The road below was full of bumps and bumps, so he might as well go back to the bottom of the river and start digging slowly.
After blocking the passage again and covering it up a bit, Lu Mingfei took Lao Tang back the same way.
They returned in the royal carriage as usual, the evening breeze blew away the smoke and blood on their bodies. After landing, they returned the broken bicycle, which scared the dog so much that it trembled. Then the two of them hurried towards the B&B.
When they got closer, there was still half a street away. Old Tang stretched lazily and thought about going back to take a shower and have a comfortable sleep, but Lu Mingfei held his shoulders and prevented him from moving forward.
When he looked up and was about to ask, his mouth was covered again and he was dragged to the roof of a house, watching something from afar.
Old Tang wondered what he was looking at that made him laugh so hard, and when he looked in the direction he came, a hint of an uncle's smile suddenly appeared on his face.
But in the distance, the moonlight was shining on the courtyard. Two young men and women were leaning against the wall, with only a fist's distance between them. The evening breeze blew slightly, and the girl's hair with a faint fragrance gently slapped the boy's body.
A trace of faint sorrow mixed into the moonlight seemed to be telling of his lack of understanding of romance.
"What's going on?" Old Tang was also a gossip lover. Seeing that the iron tree showed signs of blooming, he naturally couldn't resist the urge to eat melons. He and Lu Mingfei leaned against the house and looked into the distance.
"The Beauty Trap." Lu Mingfei replied and did not say anything else, instead he pricked up his ears and listened intently.
In the distance, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang were enjoying the river view under the moon in the breeze, both speechless.
Finally, when the mosquitoes around were gathering more and more, and there was a hint that they were unafraid of the dragon's might and were about to cross the border, Xia Mi finally spoke.
"Brother, what is your problem?"
Xia Mi felt like she was being fooled. She had just been tempted by the male beauty and followed Chu Zihang in enjoying the cool breeze for more than ten minutes. It would have been fine if the idiot next to her didn't talk about his troubles, but he even refused to recite some romantic poems to her, which made her very angry.
When asked, she just sighed softly and acted like a little woman. But she was really good-looking and not annoying.
Forget it, forget it. After all, this is the cub I raised and raised myself, so I just have to endure it.
Besides, with such a short time, Lu Mingfei and Norton wouldn’t be able to do anything big since there are many spies nearby.
And when Chu Zihang heard the girl's words with a hint of viciousness, as if warning him that she would eat him if he didn't speak, he knew that he could not delay any longer according to Lu Mingfei's rule of silence being golden.
Fortunately, he had so many things hidden in his heart, any one of which was enough to make the melancholy literary writer feel overwhelmed with sadness.
Just as he was about to pick out something that would take longer to describe, he heard the girl next to him suddenly move closer, her small face almost resting on his shoulder, her big eyes staring at him without blinking, her pink lips opening and closing as she said something that almost made his heart skip a beat:
"Brother, are you thinking about the pretty senior from Kassel Academy, so you can't sleep all night long?"
The girl's voice was soft, but it carried an inexplicable chill, as if a cold knife was placed on her neck, giving her goose bumps.
Chu Zihang remained calm, tilting his head to look over and meet the eyes of the most beautiful girl in the world:
"I seem to have forgotten a lot of things."
