Chapter 31 [Looking for a Helper] (Part 2)

The sparrow was also as strange as him, and could not guess what method Luo Xingmu used.

Luo Lie raised the torch and observed the cypress door. He soon discovered that all the wooden strips around the door panels under the cypress door were newly wedged. From this, it is speculated that Luo Xingmu should first lock the door, then disguise the door with mud, and then climb into it from the hole of the door panel below, and use wooden strips to seal the door panel below on the side of the church. Because people's attention is often focused around the gaze line, it is easy to ignore the flaws below the wall. There is nothing strange after seeing through it, but from this we can see how meticulous Luo Xingmu is doing.

The two continued to walk forward along the corridor. Luo Lie still had some understanding of the history of the church. The church was built in the fourth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty and was burned by the Boxers in 1900. At that time, the Boxers conquered the Nanguan Church with the assistance of the Qing army artillery fire, burning all the French Bishop Jilong, five French priests, two Chinese priests, two nuns, and more than 400 believers in the church. It is known in history that the Fengtian Cult is difficult. The current church is rebuilt by Bishop Su Beili, France, the Diocese of South Manchuria, and was rebuilt in 1912.

The relief in front restores the scene where Bishop Jilong led his believers to protect the church. When the sparrow looked at the scene above the relief, his heart suddenly became heavy. When he walked past the porch in front of him, a large area of ​​abandoned stone sculptures appeared in front of him, and many of them had charred traces on them. When the church was rebuilt, the ruins on the church site were buried on the spot.

Through this ruins, a dense cross appeared in front of the two, and the sparrow bit his lower lip nervously.

Luo Lie whispered: "If I guess correctly, this should be the cemetery of those believers who died in the Fengtian Cult."

The sparrow whispered: "Why build it underground? It looks so weird."

Luo Lie said: "The corpses of those people are gone. These crosses are equivalent to common tablets in China. If you look closely, their names are engraved below."

The sparrow nodded, but accelerated her pace. Although she did not believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, there were too many people dead here. Everything in front of her made her feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to leave here as soon as possible. But she found that a black coffin was placed not far ahead. Among the hundreds of crosses, the coffin seemed out of place. The coffin stood upright, large on top and small on the bottom, and the placement was also very strange.

Luo Lie also came over at this time and looked at the sparrow's gaze, but saw that the coffin was painted with three big characters - Ma Boxuan.

Sparrow's pretty face turned red due to anger. His father had died. He was buried in Japan. How could a coffin exist here? Everything in front of him was clearly done by Luo Xingmu. What exactly did he want to do? Sparrow came to the coffin, and Luo Lie reminded her: "Don't move this coffin." Luo Xingmu wrote Ma Boxuan's name on the coffin, which should have been done on purpose. He should have calculated that Ma Boxuan's descendants would come here.

Luo Lie first touched the coffin with his hand, then lowered his body and put his ear on the coffin and listened carefully to the movement inside. He was sure that there was no sound, so he carefully removed the lid of the coffin.

The sparrow raised the torch to illuminate the inside of the coffin, but saw some clothes and some field exploration equipment in it. The sparrow picked up a German-made armed shovel from it. The handle of the armed shovel was still engraved with his father's name. The sparrow's breathing became rapid, and crystal tears appeared in her beautiful eyes: "These are all my father's relics!"

Luo Lie took out the things inside, the sparrow opened the canvas bag, cleaned up items like the same, including a compass, telescope, saber and some long-expired medicines. The one that attracted her most attention was a map, which marked the key locations with a brush.

Luo Lie said: "This is a trap." It should be that Luo Xingmu deliberately set up a maze here, with the intention of introducing the sparrow into the game.

The sparrow shook his head and said, "I can see that this is my father's handwriting and others can't imitate it." She said to Luo Lie: "I want to go to Pale Mountain, the faster the better!"

Luo Lie nodded. The road ahead had been blocked by huge stones. It seemed that Luo Xingmu blocked the outward exit before leaving. Judging from the weight of the boulder, it should be difficult to do it by manpower alone. It was only because of the explosion that caused the exit to collapse, and their search could only end here for the time being.

Their current manpower is still a bit insufficient to go to Pale Mountain. After all, their trip to it was not a simple adventure, and they were likely to fight with Xiao Tianxing, a bandit entrenched in the Black Tiger Ridge. Luo Lie thought of the British Arnold Teutonic, who had served in the Royal Air Force in the past and was good at controlling various means of transportation and mechanical maintenance. It was exactly the kind that their team lacked the most. The sparrow called Chang Fa, which was also the suggestion of Fu Bo. Chang Fa was very skilled in martial arts and hardworking. He also had a rich social experience. He had almost traveled all over Manchuria in his early years and had also visited Pale Mountain. He knew the local customs and culture very well. The most rare thing is that Chang Fa was loyal to the sparrow. With him by the sparrow, the safety of the sparrow was guaranteed.

After seven days of preparation, their small team gathered at the Luoshi Wood Factory in Fengtian. In order to wish the action to go smoothly, Sparrow personally prepared a table of good dishes. During the preparation period, she took the initiative to cook, and even the blind man who was extremely picky had to admit that she had first-class cooking skills.

Arnold Teutun is a drunkard and a gambling man. This time he was attracted to Fengtian by a thousand dollars. Three hundred dollars was in advance, and there were seven hundred left. However, this guy had already lost all the 300 dollars before coming to Fengtian, so he could only come over and earn the remaining seven hundred dollars.

Changfa was very respectful in front of the sparrow, always regarded himself as a servant. After he arrived, he was always preparing for things to use tomorrow. If the sparrow had not insisted on letting him have dinner together, he would not have been at the same table in any case.

The blind man was a little excited by the newcomer's joining. A typical person came crazy and regarded himself as a veteran in the team. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he said in a big way: "Even if our adventure team is officially established from now on, everything must be ruled, and we are no exception. Are you right?"

Changfa drinks without saying a word. He is a taciturn type. He is summarized by the blind man as a character who cannot beat a single stick. The sparrow's follower has the lowest status in the team. The blind man does not think he is low-key, but only thinks that Changfa is showing his timidity, so he looks down on Changfa even more.

Arnold Teutonic burped and said, "I see, give a name first, just like the Royal Air Force, you need a name."

The blind man nodded repeatedly: "Ano is right, you have to give a name. This is the famous division! Let's go to the Pale Mountain Heihu Ridge, just call the Tiger Death Squad, majestic and domineering! Raise your hand with agreement!" He raised his hand first, but no other four people responded. A contemptuous look came from the sparrow. The blind man was a little embarrassed and coughed, "Luo Lie, what do you think!"

Luo Lie whispered: "Why call it Hunfeng!" The reason why it is called Hunfeng is because they have another purpose to go to Heihu Ridge to steal the Seven Treasures of Wind. Although he excluded Ye Qinghong from the mission, he did not forget the agreement between them, and promised a thousand gold, not to mention that the price given by Ye Qinghong was 100,000 yuan.

The blind man was about to belittle Luo Lie a few words, but he thought it was not very good, and he was not as powerful as his own tiger-killing death squad. The sparrow was the first to raise his hand, and the sparrow raised his hand naturally followed. Arnold Teutonic said: "Huai Feng, I like it, I like this name."

The blind man glared at him and said, "You foreigner knows nothing, do you know how to write the word "Feng"?"

Arnold Teutonic said: "Hunting, the mighty wind, I am the Royal Air Force, I am the son of the wind, I like it!" Gudu swallowed it with a big burning knife.

The blind man spat: "You are the son of Feng, Feng is your father. We are hunting Feng, didn't you hunt your father?"

A group of people burst into laughter, but Arnold Teutun disagreed and laughed: "If I find my father, I will kill him!"

Everyone was stunned by his words. I wondered what deep hatred this foreigner had with his father. Seeing Arnold's face flushed, he must have drunk too much, and he was talking nonsense after drinking.

After the three votes passed, the blind man nodded and said, "That's called the Hunting Death Squad! People don't leave without heads, and birds don't fly without heads. We should choose the captain next. I choose Luo Lie. There is no doubt about this, right?"

The sparrows and the other two raised their hands to pass at the same time, and the blind man did not expect it to be so smooth.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Since everyone trusts so much, I have to bite the bullet and follow this errand. I strive to serve everyone well in this action."

The blind man said again: "I have a captain, and I will choose a deputy captain next. This is thankless errand, so I'll do it!"

Arnold laughed, Chang Fa shook his head: "Why?"

The blind man said, "Looking for the dragon point, setting up the direction and dividing gold. No one here can surpass me, right?"

Chang Fa seemed to be in a row with the blind man: "Do you think you can get on the table like that in terms of talent, intelligence, martial arts, and virtues? I will obey Luo Lie as the captain, but I won't agree to be the deputy captain. What's more, we only have five people in total, and we don't need two leaders. If two, we should be my lady, it's not your turn."
