Chapter 99:

Although this mountain is not high, if you jump down...the enemy will die if he dies, but the surnamed Dong didn't bring a parachute!

are you crazy? !

Afterwards, in the face of Liu Qingbo's endless rants on the Winter Solstice, he said that he didn't think so much at the time, but Mingxian dared to jump off, and he would definitely not die.

Time returned to the present, Liu Qingbo blurted out, "Fuck you, are you crazy," he didn't have time to think about it, so he also jumped with his sword.

But after this jump, he realized that the cliff was not as steep as he thought.

First of all, this is the mountainside, not the top of the mountain, and secondly, the vegetation in the mountain is lush and withered in the cold winter season in the south. In martial arts novels, it is natural to ignore gravity and fly for tens of meters, but with a lighter body and better physical fitness.

The bright string in the front, shoots silk strings from his hand, wraps around the branches one by one, and moves forward quickly through the branches.

As for Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo, although their figures are not so graceful and graceful, they bite tightly behind Mingxian, grabbing a branch with one hand to stabilize their figure and leaping forward, and a long sword with the other to open the way, Mingxian was unable to take the lead for a while. They shake off.

Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Mingxian suddenly turned around and shot the silk thread towards the winter solstice. The winter solstice thought he was going to attack him, so he was about to dodge away, but the trunk of the tree under his feet was directly cut by the silk thread, and the abandoned root fell down. As he tried to save himself, he reacted slightly slower for a few seconds, and Mingxian had already run away.

On the winter solstice, he grabbed a nearby tree as a buffer and jumped down from the tree.

Liu Qingbo quickly caught up.

"Still lost?"

Dongzhi hummed: "But just before he left, he left a sentence saying that there is the answer we want under the Moon Moon Lake."

Liu Qingbo frowned: "You mean, he is indeed not the murderer."

Winter Solstice took the Band-Aid he handed over, and affixed the small cut on the palm of the hand made by the branch.

"I don't know, you should report to the Tang Bureau first, he is still waiting for our news."

Tang Jing didn't expect to hear from them so soon.

After learning that they had lost Mingxian, Tang Jing did not react too unexpectedly, nor did he blame them.

After listening to Liu Qingbo's retelling of Yin Xiangxue's knowledge, he was silent for a moment and said, "Well, you go to Wangyue Lake to find it first, and I will ask Shu He and Huo Jie to bring diving equipment to assist you, Mingxian side, let me do it. deal with."

Liu Qingbo: "He gave us the tracker back, do you still need it?"

Tang Jing said, "No need."

He ended the call and looked up at Long Shen, who was facing him.

The external sound effect was used just now, and Long Shen naturally could hear it clearly.

Long Shen said: "Mingxian knew for a long time that you put a tracker on him."

This is not a question, but a certainty.

Tang Jing nodded: "So what we know is what he wants us to know."

Long Shen looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "Do you feel like you have an opponent in a chess game?"

Tang Jing didn't know how Long Shen was still able to laugh. In the past, Long Shen was always the most serious one when he encountered such a thing, but now the other party is still making such a joke. He suspected that the other party became relaxed because he was about to meet his apprentice, but now Tang Jing didn't have the time to joke anymore.

"It's my fault. I misjudged my opponent. Now he must not have time to leave Shencheng. I will contact the police and make a full arrest. I hope to keep him before he leaves Shencheng."

They met by chance and tried each other out. Tang Jing boasted that he would not touch his body, but in the end he still missed a move.

"Wait." Long Shen stopped him from picking up the phone.

Tang Jing didn't know why.

Long Shen said: "You are out of proportion now, and you have lost your usual standard."

Tang Jing was silent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Long Shen did not chase after him, but asked, "Is the tracker connected to the Internet remotely?"

Tang Jing: "Yes, all the places he has been to are synchronized here."

Long Shen: "Then you don't need to issue a wanted notice, just look at the places where the tracker has appeared."

Tang Jing just lost his judgment for a while, and when he reminded him, he reacted immediately.

"Long Ju, you mean, he is waiting for us on purpose?"

Long Shen nodded: "Since he discovered the tracker a long time ago, he didn't tell us until now, indicating that there must be something we need to know about the places he has been to before, find them all, and then look for them one by one."

Tang Jing didn't talk nonsense: "I'll do it right away."

...

Shu He and Huo Jie moved quickly. They had just evacuated the crowd with the police on the winter solstice and made the entire Mochizuki Lake a restricted area, so they came here with diving equipment.

"This is scuba. I know that practitioners hold their breath underwater for a long time, but although this Moon Moon Lake is an artificial lake, it draws water from Dianshan Lake. I heard that Dianshan Lake is still very deep, so I can't guarantee that there is something underneath. Running over, it would be more convenient to have a scuba." Shu He handed them the equipment and taught them how to use it.

The winter solstice said: "Go directly from Mochizuki Lake. The underwater situation is unknown. Let's try not to be too far apart."

The orders Shu He and Huo Jie received were to assist, that is to say, they were assistants and the winter solstice was the master. But in fact, no matter the administrative level or position, Shu He is higher than the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice should have given a few words and let Shu He lead the matter, but when the matter was urgent, he didn't think much about it. A little discomfort, but did not show it, still nodded.

Without further ado, the four of them took off their down jackets and jackets, put on scuba on their backs, and went straight into the water.

Although it is an artificial lake, the depth is still impressive, especially in winter. When you get out of the water, you will feel a biting chill directly through the soaked clothes, pouring in from all directions. At the front, he had already surpassed everyone by a figure, so he had to speed up his movements so as not to be pulled down too far.

The time was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to find the underwater searchlight. I only used the most common waterproof flashlight. The light range was limited, and the water was a little turbid. After a circle, it slowly moved closer to the center of the lake.

The deeper you go to the center of the lake, the deeper the water becomes, and the water becomes more and more turbid. The flashlight can hardly see far away. Occasionally, there are water plants floating on the bottom of the lake, floating in the water, gently brushing their bodies, as if A gentle girl who wants to keep a lover.

Although Shu He and Huo Jie didn't see Jiang Lang's death with their own eyes, they had killed a water monkey two years ago here, and knew that Wangyue Lake was not a safe artificial lake.

Suddenly, Huo Jie's body sank, as if being pulled down by something, and his entire body dropped sharply.

Shu He was in front of him and didn't pay attention for a while, but Liu Qingbo and the Winter Solstice behind Huo Jie could see clearly. Liu Qingbo stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder in time, but because of the force of the pull, his whole body was too strong. It also went down.

The winter solstice was busy grabbing the clothes on Liu Qingbo's shoulders.

Only after this grab did he realize how much force was pulling Huo Jie. It was not a force that human beings could resist. He refused to let go of Liu Qingbo, so he was dragged down like this, and the three of them couldn't help being held back. Roll down, the further down, the faster the surrounding water flow, and form a vortex, sucking everything in, not only them, but also the passing fish, all aquatic creatures, as soon as they enter the range of this vortex, they will immediately disappear. will be dragged in, without exception.

The winter solstice suddenly realized that when they came to this neighborhood just now, the reason why the surrounding fish disappeared all of a sudden, the fish would also instinctively avoid danger.

But why does such a vortex appear in an artificial lake? Is it related to Jiang Lang's death?

His eyes were cloudy, the water had been completely turbid, and the flashlight had been swept away. His hands were still tightly clutching Liu Qingbo's clothes. It seemed to be the clothes in the front-loading washing machine. The "washing machine" didn't press the pause button, so he could only keep spinning until it was completely dehydrated and dried.

Time has become a useless foil, and the winter solstice does not know how long he has been rolling in the "drum washing machine". When he realizes that he has surfaced, his whole body is still light and his head is spinning like a revolving lantern on his body. I had to close my eyes and wait for the dizziness to subside completely.

"This is...where?" Huo Jie's voice also seemed to be floating in outer space, and he hadn't returned to Earth.

"Didn't you guys go into the water two years ago and didn't find this place at that time?" Liu Qingbo groaned while covering his head.

Huo Jie leaned on the stone behind him and panted: "No, where's Shu He?"

When he said this, other people discovered that Shu He was gone.

Winter Solstice said: "He was in front just now, and he probably didn't see us being dragged in by the vortex."

Liu Qingbo took a flashlight and found that this was a concave cave. About a long time ago, the water filled the place, but then the water level dropped, and a hollow area was formed here, and there was a small place to rest on the side. You can breathe without scuba.

The three of them were soaking wet. Although they were practitioners, no one would like the feeling of being sticky and cold and unable to change clothes.

On the winter solstice, the small waterproof bag was opened, and his hand went in and digged for a while, then took out a few items and threw them to them.

"What are you doing with the warm baby next time?!"

Liu Qingbo took a look at it and showed a look of whether you are insane.

The winter solstice innocently said: "Such a small bag can't fit in the clothes. I bought it when I was buying water at the school canteen. I'll just take it and stick it on my stomach. It's better than nothing."

The corners of Liu Qingbo's mouth twitched, and he wanted to smear the warm baby on his face, but finally he resignedly tore off the package.

Huo Jie reluctantly said a word of praise: "Don't say it, it really feels like a dantian on the stomach!"

Winter Solstice Yile: "Really? I'll take it with me when I need to go into the water next time!"

Liu Qingbo: ... Do you take it seriously if people compliment you casually?

He felt that his self-cultivation was getting better and better. In order to save some face as a leader for the Winter Solstice in front of outsiders, he actually forcibly endured this sentence.

The three took a sigh of relief and began to discuss countermeasures.

The oxygen in this cave is so thin that it is impossible to stay long, and they will eventually have to go into the water.

Liu Qingbo was a little strange: "Mochizuki Lake is an artificial lake, and you can see the opposite side at a glance. Where did this kind of cave come from?"

Huo said: "The water of Wangyue Lake is drawn from Dianshan Lake, but the pipeline should not be here."

Certainly not, this cave is not artificially carved out.

"It is said that this place was a big puddle at the time. When it rained, the ground would be muddy. The water in the puddle would not dry all the year round, which had a great impact on the surrounding residents. Later, the puddle was simply transformed into an artificial lake. landscape, but I've never heard of a swirl in a puddle."

Liu Qingbo: "Where did you catch that water monkey?"

Huo Jie: "I met it soon after I got into the water. It was easy to find it, but it took a little effort to catch it. Later, we searched the lake again, but we didn't find it here."

Liu Qingbo shrugged: "It looks like I'm going to return without success today."

The winter solstice suddenly booed.

He lowered his voice: "Look... the opposite side."

Liu Huo and the others looked in the direction he said.

The cave is not big, and the flashlight can barely shine on the opposite side.

In the faint light, there are only wet stones beaten by the lake and the slightly rippling water surface.

"Yes-" Liu Qingbo was about to say something when he saw it.

A hoop was hooked on a rock with sharp edges and corners protruding forward by the lake.

On closer inspection, it looks like one link in a chain.

The three remained silent, but a lot of questions appeared in their hearts.

This chain looks very thick, and I don't know what is attached to the two ends, but Huo Jie can be sure that there is no such thing in Moon Moon Lake.

Since there is no Mochizuki Lake, where did it come from?

Dianshan Lake?

On the winter solstice, he said, "I'll go and have a look."

Before anyone could speak, his body sank, and he had already entered the water again. He swam over with both hands, grabbed the chain, and plunged his head into it.

Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie also went into the water, and they soon found that the chain was very long, so long that it dragged down several meters, and they gave up when they pulled up about two or three meters.

The winter solstice suggested: "Otherwise, Lao Liu and I will follow the chain to have a look. Brother Huo, would you go back and report a letter first?"

Of course Huo Jie rejected it: "I'll go with you."

The three reached an agreement and decided to swim along one end of the chain to find out.

The chain was almost as thick as an adult man's arm, and it was freezing cold in his hand, but with this chain as a guide, they would have a sense of direction when they swam, and they would no longer be separated. It was only half an hour later, and the three The doubts in my heart not only did not subside, but they became more and more intense.

Huo Jie suspected that they had crossed the bottom of Mochizuki Lake and came to another lake, because there were no chains in Mochiyue Lake, and it was impossible for them to swim for so long without losing sight of their heads.

The chain gradually extended upwards, as if it was directly connected to the lake surface, and the faint light swayed slowly above, across the lake, but it was exciting.

The oxygen in the scuba was exhausted a little bit, and the three immediately accelerated their speed and went upstream.

Water splashed everywhere, the winter solstice surfaced, wiped the water all over his face, opened his eyes and looked around, suddenly dumbfounded.

Not only him, Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie were also a little stunned.

Why is it another hole?

The iron chain was connected from underwater to water, and then extended into the depths of the cave ahead, with no end in sight.

The luminous objects they saw underwater, they thought they might be lights from fishing boats, but the light source turned out to be on the rocks in the cave. same.

"It seems to be phosphorescence." Huo Jie looked at it and said.

The winter solstice said: "We just launched in Wangyue Lake, will we have reached Dianshan Lake now?"

Huo Jie said: "It's possible, but it's not clear where this place is in Dianshan Lake. Let's continue to walk forward."

When his voice fell, the chain moved.

None of the three touched the chain, but it suddenly slid down, like...

Something on the other end was pulling it.

Liu Qingbo felt a strange feeling in his heart. He bent down and grabbed the chain in his hand, and began to drag it in the opposite direction. Huo Jie and the Winter Solstice helped when they saw it. The force was so great that the three of them were caught off guard and were almost dragged back into the water.

They looked at each other, their hearts became more and more horrified, they speeded up in their hands, and retracted the chain to this side.

One meter, ten meters, twenty meters, there are more and more iron chains under the feet, black and black piled up into hills, but the force of pulling with them is also increasing, the three have to use dark power, Huo Jie shouted, Sitting down directly with their legs crossed, holding the chain firmly in their hands, it was like a stone to stabilize the mountain. The pressure on them on the winter solstice was suddenly much less.

"Are you practicing the 1000-pound drop?" Liu Qingbo glanced at him and asked curiously.

Huo Jie shrugged: "I don't know if it is. I have been practicing with my master in the mountains since I was a child, and my master didn't give it a name. After going down the mountain, for the sake of prestige, I named it Dinghaishenzhen by myself."

While speaking, the power on the other end of the chain seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo lost their balance and staggered forward for several steps and fell.

At this moment, Huo Jie suddenly raised his brows and said loudly, "There is something underwater, back up!"

Before the words were finished, a behemoth jumped out of the water, and its sturdy body rushed straight towards the winter solstice as a hood!

...

"here?"

Tang Jing looked up at the surrounding environment and the rusted iron house that had been abandoned for a long time, and could not help frowning.

Mingxian's tracker shows the three places he has been to during this time, Yasheng Middle School, Garton Community, and here.

Yasheng Middle School is where he works, and Garton Community is the school teacher's dormitory. The only place here, far away from the city, doesn't seem like a place where a middle school teacher would come. It's the most eccentric.

In his impression, Mingxian is not a person who likes to come to this kind of place. Even if he hides people's eyes and ears, he will definitely choose a clean and beautiful one.

Even if they don't know each other well enough.

But he had an inadvertent attention to Mingxian, he didn't even pay attention to himself, but unexpectedly it would pop up from a corner of his heart.

Tang Jing still remembered that when the two of them were kissing in the park, Ming Xian was pressed against a tree trunk and muttered dissatisfiedly. Tang Jing didn't care at that time, but in hindsight, the other party said that the clothes were going to be soiled.

This guy is a bit of a nerd.

So Mingxian intends to expose this location to them, what is the intention?

Half an hour ago, Long Shen and Tang Jing got out of the car, and they walked on foot.

Song Zhicun also came to Shencheng with Long Shen this time. The summit of various countries is approaching. They did not come here specially for this case, but since they happened to bump into it, they could not stay out of it. With Song Zhicun in charge of the branch, Long Shen and Tang Jing can do whatever they want.

It was getting late, and few people passed by this section of the road. The front was closed due to road renovations, but the sparse street lights were still on, and the lonely iron houses stood there, even more desolate.

"Someone is here." Tang Jing whispered.

Standing in the weeds by the roadside, they saw a car pull up to the roadside and stop in front of the tin house.

The headlights went out, and there was a person inside.

It is Mingxian.

Weeds are half a person tall, but they are not enough to cover his figure, not to mention Mingxian is also a practitioner, and he soon saw Long Shen and Tang Jing.

"Tangtang." He greeted Tang Jing as usual, with a relaxed tone, as if the two were still in the cafe next to the park.

Tang Jing stared at him with deep eyes.

Mingxian laughed out loud: "Do you need to look at me like this, anyway, I also provided you with a lot of clues."

Tang Jing said: "Then you don't want to give up the dark and the bright, and trade the name, right?"

Mingxian shrugged: "Even if I say yes, you won't believe it."

"if……"

As soon as Tang Jing said two words, Mingxian raised his hand to stop him.

"I think, even the Dragon Bureau has gone out in person. Even if I don't take the initiative to provide you with clues, you will be able to find it here soon. Why don't I just go straight, so as not to waste each other's time."

Mingxian reached out and patted the door a few times.

The voice came far in the silent night.

A vigilant voice came from the house: "Who did you bring here!"

Tang Jing's response was to directly kick the door open.

Behind the door, a man covered with black cloth seemed to be pinching his throat. He looked at Ming Xian and Tang Jinglong behind him for half a second, then turned around and ran away, but Tang Jing was faster than him, and his body shape was 100%. Piao jumped in, grabbed the opponent's black robe and tore it off.

Under the dim light, the man turned around and tried to **** the black robe back but failed, and his panicked face caught everyone's eyes.

Long Shen's calm expression moved slightly.

"...Cheng Yuan?"

The man stumbled and fell, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and hugging him. He seemed very cold, but he kept retreating. He stared at Long Shen, showing fear and fear.

A cold expression appeared on Long Shen's face.

"You have fallen so far."

Cheng Yuan, who also took the examination of the Special Administrative Region, also participated in the Huiyiguang case with Liu Qingbo of the Winter Solstice and the others, but he did not stay until the end. At that time, the Winter Solstice had a good relationship with him, and he also asked Long Shen, Long Shen did not More to say, just to say that Cheng Yuan did not meet the standard.

In fact, Cheng Yuan's unqualified performance was not because of his lack of ability or bad grades, but because Long Shen and others saw in the questions he answered in the interview that this person was too utilitarian and planned to observe it for a while, so he Unsurprisingly, he was rejected.

It's just that even Long Shen never imagined that Cheng Yuan, after losing the election, would appear here.

His body was covered with blue and black veins, which looked like poisoning at first glance, but Long Shen knew that this was the manifestation of demonic energy infiltrating his body for a long time. Ordinary people were polluted by demonic energy, and after a long time, they would become neither human nor ghost. Demon corpses are like those ordinary people who were eroded by demonic energy on the train to Changchun. But a cultivator like Cheng Yuan can still retain his sanity, and even his abilities become stronger and more difficult to deal with due to the fusion of demonic energy.
