09 Mysterious legend
I pondered for a moment and closed the notebook.
"Young Master, what is this?" Chen Guowei asked in horror. "Not only did he capture the entire scientific expedition team, he also said that he would come to eat me tonight... Will he really come out?"
"Wu Zheng, that girl named Ma Ying is my daughter-in-law." Qi Kaifeng burst into tears, "She and my son have just been engaged, and this child is very good. You can save her... save her..."
I let out a sigh of relief and looked at An Yu, "Did you see it?"
"It's a demon," said An Yu.
I nodded, "There are more than one in there."
"These monsters are human-eating." An Yu looked at Chen Guowei, "You have caused a big disaster."
"There are really monsters?" Chen Guowei asked in surprise.
"Do you really understand this White Mountain Temple?" I looked at Chen Guowei, "Why did you have to break in? What's inside?"
"This..." Chen Guowei swallowed, "This..."
"It's not convenient to say, is it?" I asked.
"No, no, no, convenient!" He said quickly, "This Baishan Temple was discovered in the Qing Palace Secret File fifteen years ago. The secret file was written in the marsh text, which records the legend of the Baishan Temple."
"What legend?" An Yu asked.
"The above says that the Sushen tribe once built a White Mountain Temple in the depths of Changbai Mountain to worship the White Mountain Tiger God," he said, "The temple contains a heavenly book "The White Tiger Secret Scroll". According to the secret records, the ancient Sushen people had four generations of ancestors and grandchildren. Because they practiced the White Tiger Secret Scroll, each of them had a lifespan of more than two hundred years, and they all died in war in the end, otherwise their lifespan should have been longer. So we conclude that the White Tiger Secret Scroll must contain secret methods that make people live forever."
"If you see a legend in the Qing Palace Secret Arch, do you believe it?" An Yu asked.
"No! This is not a legend!" Chen Guowei said, "There are records in the literature of the Martial Arts that the four generations of ancestors and grandchildren are all tall, the shortest ones are more than three meters tall, and they are all giants. Fifteen years ago, a scientific expedition team discovered a Sushen ancient tomb in Baishan, Northeast China. A remains unearthed there, which is 320 meters tall. According to the specifications of the tomb, murals and burial objects, the owner of this tomb is the youngest grandson among the four ancestors and grandchildren."
He looked at Qi Kaifeng and continued, "We also found many huge cow shoulder blades in that tomb, totaling 98 pieces, with many lines and symbols engraved on them. The archaeological department copied the lines and symbols on the cow bones, and finally found that it turned out to be a map."
"Map?" I frowned.
"Yes! It's the map of the Baishan Temple that starts from the cemetery," Chen Guowei said, "According to the murals, the owner of the tomb is the leader of the Sushen people. He was going to go to the Baishan Temple to practice, but because of a war, he was seriously injured and could not go. Before he died, he carved this map with his own hands and marked the route from the cemetery to the Baishan Temple, meaning that after he died, his soul would also go to the Baishan Temple to worship the Baishan Temple. Later, we found more than 40 burial pits near the tomb, full of human bones. It means that after the tomb was completed, all the craftsmen and slaves involved in the construction were killed, thinking that the tomb owner kept this secret."
He said as he turned his notebook, opened a map from another folder, and asked us to see, "Young Master, Miss An Yu, look, this is the map after the restoration."
I looked at the picture and asked him, "Did you find the White Mountain Temple based on this picture?"
"Yes," he said, "The Baishan Temple is hidden on a mountain about two hundred kilometers northeast of the main peak in Changbai Mountain. There is no ground building. The entire temple was built by chiseling mountains and is inside the mountain. We used various modern technologies to survey it for a full ten years, and then we basically figured out the structure inside and built a 3D model."
He said, turning the notebook again, and opening a modeling diagram from another folder.
"Young Master, Miss An Yu, look," he put his notebook in front of us, "This is the structural model of the Baishan Temple. It is the main hall in the middle, and there are four small halls around it. Each hall is divided into four exits, with a total of sixteen secret passages. What we are opening now is this one..."
He pointed to one of the secret passages, "The secret passage a3 is closest to outside and is the easiest to open. Ma Ying and the others entered Hall A from here, and then something happened..."
"These four are sacrifice halls," I said, "If there are demons guarding the hall, if the Sushen royal family did not enter, those who enter the hall would be treated as sacrifices."
"Sacrifice?" Chen Guowei looked at me in surprise and subconsciously spitted.
"Yes, sacrifice." I looked at him and then looked at Qi Kaifeng. "The demons here are very fierce, and there are more than one. They are sealed in the White Mountain Temple and guardian demons."
"Guardian Demon?" Qi Kaifeng looked at me in a daze, "What do they protect? White Tiger Scroll?"
"Yes," I nodded, "Only the direct descendants of the Sushen royal family know about the way to open the secret passage. If people from the Sushen royal family's bloodline entered, they would be eaten as sacrifices."
"Then he also said, "I'm coming to eat me tonight, what's going on? Will he really come?" Chen Guowei asked nervously.
"Yes," I said, "At the entrance of the secret passage, there is a seal on the door, which can prevent the guardian demon from leaving the Baishan Temple. You don't understand this, so you directly exploded the secret passage with explosives and destroyed the seal. The entire Baishan Temple is a sealing system. Now this system has been destroyed and a corner is missing. The guardian demons cannot leave for the time being, but once it takes more than twelve hours, they will be able to come out. Then, let alone you, no one in your camp will survive, and they will be eaten as sacrifices."
"Ah? This..." Chen Guowei got sweating, "Young master, we don't know... What should we do if we do this..."
"Don't you 409 have many supernatural people?" I asked him, "Isn't anyone reminded you before the secret passage exploded?"
Chen Guowei lowered his head in shame, "There is... a person who raised concerns, but I didn't listen to it... I think the so-called Feng Shui is just feudal superstition. To put it bluntly, it is just the ancients' environmental laws. That person also reminded me that there might be evil things inside, but I didn't listen to him..." "Where is that person now?" I asked.
"When he went up the mountain the next day, he broke his arm, so we sent him to Shengjing," he said.
I smiled knowingly, "Broken arms to save my life, this is a sensible person..."
"Oh..." Chen Guowei regretted, "If I had known that I would have listened to him, I would have been more cautious..."
"What's the use of saying this now?" Qi Kaifeng said angrily, "You had to listen to me last night, and you wouldn't have reached this point now! I advise you not to act first! Don't act first! But you just don't listen! You have to say that you don't believe in evil, and you can do anything without Wu Zheng! Now that you have done this, what do you think you will do?"
"Old Qi, don't say it." Chen Guowei covered his face in shame, "I was wrong..."
"Will you admit your mistake? What's the use of the fuck?" Qi Kaifeng's eyes turned red and he turned to ask me, "Wu Zheng, I know your ability. Tell me, how are Ma Ying doing now? How are those children? Are they already..."
He forced himself to say what happened next.
I glanced at him, leaned against the sofa, and let out a long sigh.
Qi Kaifeng's eyes shook and he collapsed instantly.
