Chapter 165 [Palm Knife] (1)
The goblindrical mouse groped happily to find the scepter, and soon he discovered the shortcomings of the scepter, and there was a gem at the top. He asked Luo Lie for advice and said, "Mr. Luo, is there a gem at the top?"
Luo Lie nodded. The ditch around the statue was still like the last time he came. There were a lot of gold, silver and treasures inside, but these were not the focus of Luo Lie's attention.
Bai Yunfei looked up at the statue, and stood at the foot of the statue and felt its grand aura even more. In front of such a statue, they were undoubtedly small. Bai Yunfei did not forget the mission of this trip and whispered: "Where is the thing that the third master wants?"
Luo Lie pointed to the caves around the statue, the place where Taoist priests used to be alchemy. Bai Yunfei looked in the direction he pointed. There were at least a few hundred caves. If they were searching one by one, even if they were searching separately, they would not be able to complete it without three or five days of effort. He whispered: "Do you know which one it is?"
Luo Lie said: "I don't know either, so I can only find them one by one."
When the Dingmouse heard him say this, his scalp numb: "We don't bring much food, so we may not be able to support that long."
Bai Yunfei thought to himself that Luo Lie has always been meticulous in his work, and he must have clues. He should not trust him, so he has reservations. He smiled and said, "Then look for it one by one. I think we will still divide it into two groups, and the efficiency is relatively higher."
Luo Liedao: "Aren't the four groups higher?"
Bai Yunfei said: "This underground is full of dangers, and the two of them can take care of each other."
Luo Lie nodded and agreed to his suggestion. Bai Yunfei suggested that he and Luo Lie form a group, Dingmouse and Lu Weilin.
After grouping, they used Feizhao to climb to the opposite side of the statue, Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei searched counterclockwise, while the other group chose to search clockwise.
Although the outside entrances of these caves carved on the stone walls are almost the same, they are big and small inside, deep and shallow. Luo Lie went to several caves last time and found black gunpowder encapsulated by oak barrels. However, he had no clear goal last time. After returning this time, he had obtained detailed information from Lan Ximei. There were 365 caves of all sizes around, and 81 of them were connected to each other.
Before coming here, Luo Lie had already kept the information given to him by Lan Ximei in his mind. He had always had a good memory, but it was difficult to remember all the information in a short period of time. Now his memory has obviously leap. Although he had only read it once, he remembered all the information without any bad words, and even the map marks in it were firmly in his mind. Once needed, the information used suddenly appeared in his mind.
Luo Lie believes that all this is the change brought to him by the seed of wisdom, and he is surprised and uneasy. According to his father, the seed of wisdom will slowly take effect in the body, and it may take ten years to fully absorb it. In other words, he has only absorbed a small part of it. If he completely absorbs the energy of the seed in ten years, what changes will happen to his body and brain power?
Bai Yunfei looked at Luo Lie's agile figure and was secretly impressed. Luo Lie's skills were better than he expected. Experts were good at seeing the depth of the other party from the subtle movements of people. Although Luo Lie's climbing speed was not as good as the gopher who climbed at the same time, Luo Lie's movements were excellent. Bai Yunfei thought to himself that if they were facing a cliff, Luo Lie would definitely win. Bai Yunfei listened to Luo Lie's breathing. Luo Lie's breath was slow and long, and it was usually only internal experts who would have such a sign.
Luo Lie had already entered the cave above and turned around and looked back. Bai Yunfei was following him, his face still and his aura remained unchanged. As early as in Tianjin, Luo Lie had witnessed Bai Yunfei's amazing shooting skills with his own eyes. He knew that this person was a master of his generation, which was also the reason why Mu Sanshou chose him to monitor him.
The cave is not big. Luo Lie has to lower his head and observe the scene in the cave through the beam of the flashlight. There are more than a dozen oak barrels piled on the right. Bai Yunfei also entered the cave. Seeing whisky written in English on the oak barrel, he said curiously: "Is this a wine cellar?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "It's not a wine cellar, it's filled with black gunpowder. Don't play with fire, otherwise we will be blown to pieces."
Bai Yunfei heard that Luo Lie was clearly a pun, and smiled and said, "Threat me?"
Luo Lie did not look back: "Mr. Bai might as well understand it as a kind reminder." He walked forward a few steps and said: "It seems that Mr. Mu San has given you an irresistible condition."
Bai Yunfei laughed, and his laughter echoed in the cave for a long time: "I owe him a favor."
Luo Lie didn't say anything, but just continued to move forward.
Bai Yunfei couldn't help but be a little curious. Of course, he understood that it would be better to say that he owed Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong than to be favored by Mu Sanshou. If they hadn't made arrangements, it would be difficult for him to leave Tianjin. From this point of view, it would be obviously unkind to accept Mu Sanshou's entrustment to deal with Luo Lie.
Bai Yunfei couldn't help but say, "Actually, I owe you a favor, too."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I don't owe each other." He paused and said, "I always remember the word "kindness" and you will be very tired."
Bai Yunfei nodded and suddenly felt that he was not as free and easy as Luo Lie, and had never escaped the bonds of grudges, love and hatred in recent years.
Luo Lie stopped and a corpse appeared in front of him. The corpse was well preserved, the skin was not rotten, the face was blue and shiny, and his eyes were bulging out like goldfish, staring at the direction of the visitor, describing it as terrifying. Bai Yunfei came to Luo Lie and saw that the corpse was dressed in Qing Dynasty clothing, and he couldn't help but curiously said: "This person must have been dead for many years, why has the corpse not rotten yet?"
Luo Lie said in a deep voice: "This person's body should be filled with a lot of mercury, so that the body will not be corrupt." Many tombs often have mercury boys buried with them, and mercury is poured into the child's body. In this way, the body will not be corrupted for thousands of years. It is extremely rare for adults like this.
Bai Yunfei used the top of the umbrella to lift the official hat on the head of the corpse, but saw that there was indeed an ocean-like blood hole on the man's cover. Bai Yunfei frowned in disgust. He did not expect that such a gloomy and terrifying scene would exist under the beautiful Old Summer Palace, and urged Luo Lie to continue walking forward in a low voice.
Luo Lie did not rush forward. He put on gloves and spread the corpse's tightly clenched hands. After exerting a little force, he heard a clicking sound. The corpse's fingers broke in response to the sound, and a knife rolled out from his tightly clenched left hand. Luo Lie picked up the knife. The knife was about inch long and was shiny and bright, and it was fresh for a long time. It was sharp and sharp. When the angle was slightly tilted, you could clearly see the fish-shaped texture on it. Luo Lie himself is an expert in using flying knives. You can tell at a glance that this knife was used to throw, but it was smaller than the flying knives he usually used.
I weighed the flying knife in my palm. Although the flying knife is small in size, it is very important. If I want to ensure the speed and lethality of the flying knife, the weight of the blade is an extremely important factor.
Bai Yunfei said: "Palm Knife!"
Luo Lie handed him the flying knife, Bai Yunfei picked it up with a handkerchief, and he was cautious in doing things, in order to prevent the flying knife from being coated with toxins. He looked over and over again and carefully and said, "That's right, it's the palm knife. As far as I can tell, there were eight guards around him during his lifetime. These eight guards were all top experts, and each had their own strengths. One of them was good at using hidden weapons, flying knives, and sleeve arrows. The most praised was the palm knife. The flying knives were hidden in the palm of their palm, and they were extremely concealed. When facing the enemy, wait for the opportunity. Once triggered, they would inevitably take their lives."
He returned the flying knife to Luo Lie. Luo Lie packed it up and thought to himself that it would not be difficult if he shot this flying knife, but the real problem was how to hide the flying knife in his palm.
Bai Yunfei poked the corpse with an umbrella and poked a hard object around the waist of the corpse. The clothes worn by the corpse have decayed over the years. With a little force, it broke the belt of the corpse and dropped a cylinder from the corpse. The cylinder rolled to Luo Lie's feet.
Bai Yunfei reminded Luo Lie, "Don't touch!" He squatted down and shone the cylinder with the beam of the flashlight. After observing for a while, he picked up the cylinder from the ground. His eyes glanced at Luo Lie's face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Luo Lie suddenly felt a little uneasy and consciously judged that the cylinder that fell from the hidden weapon master must be the amazingly powerful killing weapon he carried with him. Could it be that Bai Yunfei wanted to be unfavorable to him?
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "This cylinder has an elegant name called the honeycomb. As long as the mechanism above is touched, five hundred steel needles will be shot out from the top. The steel needles have been tempered with poison made by the court, and the throat is sealed with blood." He pointed the syringe called the honeycomb at Luo Lie.
Luo Liezhe was unaware of his fear and said, "What did Mr. Bai do to me?"
Bai Yunfei laughed: "I just want to see if you are afraid."
Luo Lie said: "Although this hidden weapon is powerful, after so many years, it is estimated that most of the machines inside are rusted and damaged. Even if you press it, you may not be able to fly out a needle. Moreover, this needle box has been used at first glance. What's the use of an empty box?"
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"
Luo Lie nodded, and the flying knife in his palm was ready to go, but he did not feel the strong murderous aura from Bai Yunfei, and he became more and more sensitive to the outside world. This super perception even exceeded Luo Lie's inner cognition, which made him hesitate and doubt that his feelings would be wrong. This is the reason why he dared not relax his vigilance.
