Origin Chapter 144: Dongfeng comes first

After San Hu said, Wu Zhongyuan was once again stunned. In fact, the average life expectancy of human beings in the ancient times was not as low as the historians thought, far more than thirty years old. People who are in their 50s and 60s are still very common, but there are very few in their 70s and 80s. This 83-year-old wizard is considered a longevity anyway. This person is the only person who can transfer time. This person His health doesn't seem to be very good. Maybe one day there will be three long and two short ones, and no one will be able to transfer time. The direct impact of this on him is that once he goes back, he will never come back.

Although he didn't plan to come back before, not coming back and not coming back are two completely different concepts, just like having no money and having no money to spend, the former is under his own subjective control, while the latter is objectively passive.

After regaining his senses, Wu Zhongyuan climbed up to the silver jar with his rifle on his back. The silver jar was the main body of Sanhu, his head had been cut off by Wu Kui with a bowstring, and there was only one fat man left in the silver jar. The body, due to being so fat, has become difficult to distinguish between limbs and torso, like a tank of fat lard.

"Don't worry, I will still save you." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Thank you." Sanhu took a deep breath.

"Is there anything else to remind me?" Wu Zhongyuan picked up the rifle.

"No, let's do it." Sanhu said, probably because he was excited, his voice trembled.

"Okay, get ready, I count to three, one, two, three." The gun didn't go off, and the safety wasn't on.

"Come on, one, two, three." The gun hadn't been fired yet, the bullets were not loaded.

Sanhu is frustrated and helpless, "Are you killing me or scaring me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm here." Before he could finish speaking, the gun rang. He really did deliberately scare Sanhu before. This guy was afraid that he wouldn't agree to the rescue, so he left the biggest resistance until the end. Don't scare it, how can it be worthy of it. However, he still had good intentions, and finally saved Sanhu from the torment and torture of the countdown.

As soon as Sanhu died, the black fog blocking the door disappeared immediately. At the same time, the screams and howls of monsters could be heard in the distance.

Wu Zhongyuan jumped off the silver jar and ran out of the silver house, only to see the herd of beasts that had retreated to the distance swarming here.

He dared to hesitate, threw his rifle, turned and ran.

Wang Xinran and Xiao Qin were waiting on the mountainside. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly entered the cave with him. The cave was about ten meters long, and the interior was very narrow. At the end of the cave was a copper box. After the three people entered, the copper box felt the weight, the mechanism was activated, and the copper box began to rotate and sink.

This mechanism uses the pressure of groundwater. There are artificially excavated circular waterways under the copper box. If it does not carry weight, the copper box is supported by the water column. After the weight of the copper box reaches a certain level, the copper box will It begins to sink, the water in the water channel overflows in all directions, the copper box slides down the water channel rapidly, and the water channel is in an irregular V shape. After reaching the bottom, the angle of the copper box shifts, and the pressure of the groundwater pushes it to the other one. Up channel.

The other end of the passage is underwater. After the copper box arrives, the three of them leave and float. The copper box is filled with water and then descends again. On the way to the other end, the water is drained and returned to its place for use.

The exit is located under the water of the Yazi River, not at the deepest bottom. The people who designed this mechanism may have considered the problem of sediment deposition. The exit was designed on a stone wall in the deep water. At this point, otherwise the exit would have been blocked by sediment.

There are still some huge carved stones around the exit, which should be the ruins of some kind of building. The biggest possibility is the place where wizards change their clothes and rest. There should be an upward passage to avoid water. Walking out of the river is much more respectable than climbing up from the wet water.

In those days, people may have walked out unrestrainedly, but the three of them climbed up wet. At this time, it was four or five in the morning, the sky was not bright, and the temperature was very low. After landing, the three people's lips were frozen. Hairy, shivering.

Not far downstream, Huang Hailin had already lit a bonfire, and the three walked over to meet him.

Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming are not nearby. I don't know if they have taken the opportunity to run away, not to mention that Huang Hailin needs to support Yang Yi when he floats up. Even if he is empty-handed, it is difficult to stop the two.

Such a result was also expected by Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran. Huang Hailin had already sent out a distress signal. Shortly after everyone changed their clothes, the rescue vehicle rushed over.

According to relevant regulations, after entering such an area, safety quarantine and isolation observation must be carried out, but Wu Zhongyuan was eager to get the two spiritual stones, so he eagerly urged Wang Xinran to drive to the airport.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Wang Xinran was puzzled.

"You'll know when you go." Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to reveal the truth to Wang Xinran, otherwise Wang Xinran would send someone to arrest Zhao Ying.

"Send someone to find out their whereabouts and whereabouts as soon as possible." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Yes." Wang Xinran agreed.

"Let's see if there is a suitable flight, if not, transfer a plane to send us back." Wu Zhongyuan said again.

"What are you doing in such a hurry to go back?" Wang Xinran asked in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan also felt that it was inappropriate to completely hide from Wang Xinran, so he said in a general way, "To take a very important thing, we must ensure that we can rush back to the provincial capital before them."

"A very important thing? Lingshi?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't nod his head, but he didn't shake his head either, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

"How do you know where her spirit stone is?" Wang Xinran's words were exactly what Wu Zhongyuan expected.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.

Wang Xinran vaguely guessed the truth, "That monster in the silver house told you?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not deny it either.

"Did it tell you where the other two are?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not speak.

Seeing him hesitating, Wang Xinran was very dissatisfied, with a sullen face, and stopped talking to him.

There is a suitable flight, and there is no need to mobilize the public. Please arrange a special plane. While waiting for the flight, news came from the headquarters. Although it is impossible to determine the exact location of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, there are several cameras. Image, the headquarters deduced that they were escaping in a northwest direction.

The news made Wu Zhongyuan secretly relieved.

Around 12 noon, the plane landed, and there were already military vehicles waiting at the airport. Wang Xinran drove the driver down and drove by himself, "Where are you going?"

Wu Zhongyuan gave a specific address, and Wang Xinran drove to the location after positioning.

An hour later, the two arrived at their destination. The foreign-funded company's security work is very good, but the security work is not in place, and the security work is in place. Punch in.

Because it was lunch break, the chairman was not in the office, and the door of the office could not be opened. Wang Xinran asked the local military and police to come to assist, and at the same time asked the head of the department to notify the chairman to come over immediately.

Wu Zhongyuan did not object to Wang Xinran's actions, because the chairman will definitely try to notify Zhao Ying after hearing the news, and this is exactly the result he wants to see. If Zhao Ying can get the news, he will know that he is cheating She would leave early to avoid arrest.

The chairman did not come here on the pretext of holding a meeting out of town. By this time, the two of them had no scruples, and directly called for the unlocker to open the door of the office.

After opening the door, Wu Zhongyuan found the safe hidden inside the wall, entered the password skillfully, opened the safe, opened the bottom drawer, took out a square iron box, opened it, two spirit stones revealed in front of the two of them.

Seeing the Lingshi, Wu Zhongyuan let out a sigh of relief. Enough was enough. After many twists and turns, he finally got enough Lingshi and got the "ticket" for the return journey.

"You already knew there were two spirit stones here, right?" Wang Xinran asked coldly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. Wang Xinran knew the exact number of spirit stones in his hand, and knew that it was enough to get two more spirit stones. The reason why she asked this question was to accuse him of deliberately letting Zhao Ying go. .

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Wang Xinran stared at him and forced him to answer. In the end, Wu Zhongyuan could only say, "She saved my life, I can't watch her go to jail."

Wang Xinran is very dissatisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer. The reason is very simple. She hates Zhao Ying, and the reason why she hates Zhao Ying is that, in addition to different positions, a large part is because Zhao Ying is her rival in love. But on the other hand, she was very satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, because Wu Zhongyuan did not forget Zhao Ying's help to him because of his estrangement from Zhao Ying, which can be regarded as attaching great importance to love and righteousness.

After taking a look at Wu Zhongyuan, Wang Xinran asked, "Do you know the consequences of your mercy?"

"What do you mean? My brother?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "the black suit doesn't know that you get these two spiritual stones. In her impression, you are at least two short. She still has one in her hand, and she knows the other one. The whereabouts of one piece, in order to force you to cooperate with them, she will go to get the other piece of spirit stone as soon as she learns of the situation here. She also told you before that the place where the spirit stone is located is more dangerous than Sanxingdui, you It is very dangerous for senior brother to follow her."

"I know it's dangerous for my brother to follow her," Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly, "but what do you think I can do? Tell my brother that my sister-in-law is helpless, and let him leave Zhao Ying to surrender? And then be shot?"

Wang Xinran didn't answer. She was a bystander. After all, the bystander's understanding of the matter was not comprehensive enough. Thinking from another perspective, Wu Zhongyuan is currently facing this dilemma. She can't think of a better solution.

"What do you need me to do now?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Let her go." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

"I won't embarrass you, I can let her go," Wang Xinran said, "What about your brother? What are you going to do?"

Wu Zhongyuan pondered silently and did not answer.

Wang Xinran said, "You can't take him away. It takes a lot of energy to open and maintain the wormhole. The energy contained in these spirit stones in your hand is definitely not enough to carry two people."

Wu Zhongyuan still did not speak, he was indeed thinking about the possibility of taking Lin Qingming away just now.

"Let's go, get out of here, and let them clean up the aftermath." Wang Xinran pointed to the military police waiting outside the house.

The two left the office, left the office building, and got into the car that came in.

Wang Xinran didn't drive or speak, just sat in the driver's seat.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was waiting for him to make a decision, and after being silent, he said, "Go to Huangxian Hospital."

"What to do?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Go pick up my sister-in-law..."
