Chapter 195: Dragon's Eye Tomb

Jiang Luo finished reading the message, and his frown spread.

Wen Renlian also brought people to Mount Dawu. He didn't come alone, but brought with him the special troops sent by the state to investigate Dawu Mountain, as well as the knowledgeable Qi Ye, Ge Zhu, Ye Xun, and Lu Youyi, who had heard that Jiang Luo had been injured and had to come over to take a look.

They arrived a day earlier than Jiang Luo, and had already done a quick check of Dawu Mountain. The Dragon's Eye is so unpredictable that the special forces, made up of ordinary people, have found no trace of it. But the troopers are hiding everywhere in the forest, ready to support Jiang Luo at any time.

Jiang Luo replied, "We'll arrive at Dawu Mountain tomorrow at 5pm."

In writing his report to the state, Jiang Luo made his situation clear. After discussion, the higher-ups gave instructions to assist Jiang Luo with all their efforts.

Jiang Luo is the head of the state department, the stronger he is, the more advantage the state has in the plan to clear the metaphysical world. What's more, according to Jiang Luo, the metaphysical world is about to face an unknown catastrophe. In order to make this catastrophe a safe one, the country will try its best to provide Jiang Luo with everything he needs to take the initiative in the catastrophe.

Wen Renlian quickly sent him back a new message, "Although the troops didn't find the location of the Dragon's Eye, we did find the approximate range. I have to say, you made the right decision in placing Qi Ye in the Research Bureau."

Wen Renlian sent Jiang Luo the approximate location of the dragon's eye, within a radius of about two hundred meters. Don't look at the range of 200 meters, this is already a very impressive level. The eye of the dragon is the most spiritual part of the entire dragon vein, it will move around, no fixed position, erratic, will not let people easily find. Once someone wanted to find the eye of the Kunlun Mountain Dragon Vein, but set up a team of 30 people to look for a year and did not find.

Jiang Luo was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly praised them again and again.

With the help of his friends and the country, Jiang Luo slept well that night and got up at five o'clock the next morning.

There were already many people sitting in the restaurant on the first floor, and there were many breakfasts on the tables. Jiang Luo casually ate something, looked at the several big bulging backpacks placed beside the tables, and asked, "Is this something for us?"

Tour Guide Wang swallowed a mouthful of buns, "Yes, it's all yours, we'll split it after dinner later."

It was only after breakfast that the evil spirit arrived, and only after seeing him did the group pick up their belongings and prepare to leave.

The ride to Dawu Mountain was bumpy, just as guide Wang had said. Jiang Luo, who is not seasick, was upset stomach, after the bus, they took a farmer's boat, until four o'clock in the afternoon to Dawu Mountain.

Dawu Mountain was a rolling mountain range, standing at the head of the mountain range and not being able to see the end of the mountain range, and there were dozens of peaks, large and small, to say the least.

It looked spectacular, but with such a big mountain range, trying to find a dragon's eye in it with an uncertain trail would only make people feel that there was little hope. Everyone knew that the matter of searching for the dragon's eye could not be rushed for a while, they set up tents at the foot of the mountain and rested for the night, and the next day, before dawn, the group stood at the bottom of the mountain fully equipped, ready to climb the mountain.

The Evil Ghost stood at the forefront as he looked up at Mount Dawu with a puzzled expression.

Dragon veins can suppress evil spirits, and Dawu Mountain is naturally no exception. The closer he got to Da Wu Mountain, the more Chi You could feel his power being suppressed by the Dragon Vein. This was only at the foot of the mountain, so one could imagine to what extent his power would be suppressed step by step if he entered the mountain.

It was for this reason that he could not go up the mountain with Jiang Luo to look for longan.

So the evil spirit brought Ge Wuchen, Teng Bi and Lisa.

One of these three was a monk, one was a living dead person, and one was a deep-sea fish. Even Teng Bi has a breath of living air in him and is suppressed much better than the Evil Ghost.

Chi You came here to do little but serve as a deterrent. But when it came time to go, Chi You was slow to act.

Ge Wuchen stepped forward and inquired, "Master?"

Chi You suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth raised high as he said with interest, "This mountain is very interesting."

After he said this, he suddenly headed for the mountain road.

This move of his caught everyone by surprise, and Daoist Wei He even looked at his back with disbelief.

He's not afraid of the Dragon Vein? Or does the Dragon Vein have no effect on him at all?

But fortunately the evil ghost stopped after only two steps. He looked up at the towering Dawu Mountain, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, the Evil Ghost turned his head sideways with a careless smile at the corner of his mouth, "Teng Bi."

Teng Bi stepped forward quickly and silently to the evil spirit.

The evil spirit's voice was low, so low that it could not be heard by anyone but Teng Bi.

He said, "Bring him back safely, got it?"

Even if Chi You hadn't said anything, Teng Bi would have done his best to protect Jiang Luo, and he said honestly, "Yes."

Teng Bi waited for a while longer and did not see the evil spirit speak, he thought that the evil spirit had finished speaking, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the corners of the evil spirit's lips pressed down unhappily at the corners of his mouth.

After a long time, the evil spirit said, "You follow him at all times, even Ge Wuchen, and don't let him near Jiang Luo."

Teng Bi said, "Yes."

The evil spirit glanced at Dabuyama again, "Go on."

Wei He and Jiang Luo were escorted in the center, and the guide opened the way in front of them, they entered the mountain road at a fast pace and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye.

Two hundred meters away in the forest, Wen Renlian was hiding behind the trees, watching them with binoculars. Wenren Lian carefully observed Jiang Luo's color, and was relieved to see that Jiang Luo looked fine. As the binoculars moved back, Wen Renlian let out an "eek" and said to himself, "Is he even one of Chi You's people ......".

Ye Xun asked, "Who?"

Wenrenian whispered, "The death that stood with Ge Wuchen--"

His words ended abruptly, and he immediately turned his head to look at Ge Zhu.

Ge Zhu had frozen in place, he froze as he looked at Wenren Lian, and abruptly turned around and took another telescope to look towards Jiang Luo's group.

In the tiny lens, Ge Wuchen wears a clean monk's robe and a slight smile on his face. He is holding a string of Buddha beads in his hand, and in front of him is a dead ghost with a big sword protecting Jiang Luo, with a little girl at the end.

Ge Zhu's expression instantly became complicated, fear and hatred mixed with various other emotions flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ge, Wu, Dust!"

Has he, a son of Buddha, been reduced to becoming a henchman of evil spirits?

Ge Zhu's face condensed, he held the peach wood sword with murderous intent and was about to rush out, "No, we can't let him stay with Jiang Luo and that little girl. He will definitely kill Jiang Luo and that little girl, he will!"

Ye Xun and Lu Youyi grabbed him in time, and the two of them softly calmed him like a child, "It's okay Ge Zhu, don't be afraid, Jiang Luo, they'll be fine."

"Ge Wuchen can't beat Jiang Luo and doesn't dare to. Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything."

Wenren Lian also said softly, "Ge Zhu, that little girl is not an ordinary person, she is the Blood Eel leader that we let go at sea, Ge Wuchen can't harm her."

Ge Zhu's brain was filled with a dull ache, all he could think of was what Ge Wuchen had just looked like, and the voices of his companions were blocked out of his ears. He couldn't help but wonder how Ge Wuchen could still smile.

After doing those things, after almost killing him, he could still live as if nothing had happened. Intense emotions hit him, Ge Zhu's voice trembled, "Jiang Luo really can't go into the mountains with him, Ge Wuchen is sinister and cunning, he will get Jiang Luo killed ...... You guys believe me, I want to kill him, I must kill him. "

Wenrenren couldn't help but sigh.

Every time Ge Zhu sees Ge Wuchen, he loses his mind and is driven by hatred. Wen Renlian also dislikes Ge Wuchen, but he can t go out at this moment, if Ge Zhu once sees Ge Wuchen, I am afraid that before Ge Zhu has the heart to do something to Ge Wuchen, Ge Wuchen will already turn around and seriously injure him.

Wen Renlian was ruthless and said in a cold voice, "Ge Zhu! Stop it, you'll only do bad things now!"

Ge Zhu's hands were also shaking, and he was stiffened by Wen Renlian's words. The look on his face was almost like a young child that had lost its mother and suffered a severe trauma, finally, Ge Zhu took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I'm sorry," he said lowly, "I'll hold back."

Lu Youyi coughed twice, intending to improve the atmosphere, as he asked with deliberate curiosity, "Wenren, who is the 'he' you just mentioned? Besides Ge Wuchen, is there anyone else you recognize among Chi You's men?"

As he spoke, he picked up a telescope and also wanted to take a look towards Jiang Luo's side. But Wenren Lian raised his hand and blocked his mirror, saying with a colorless face, "Lu Youyi, there's a hornet's nest behind you."

Lu Youyi jumped up, pulling his jacket over his head in shock, "Crap crap crap crap why are there wasps here!"

Wen Renlian picked up his binoculars and took a look into the distance, and only after Teng Bi's figure disappeared into thin air did he say, "Ah, it was my mistake, it turned out to be a regiment of birds' nests."

Lu Youyi can't see Teng Bi.

Lu Youyi is a man of love, and seeing Teng Bi here will only cause sadness.

It's better to not see this side if you can.

Seeing that their attention had been diverted, Ge Zhu retreated backward with light and quiet steps, unconsciously retreating to the very back. When no one noticed, he turned around and ran into the jungle.

Ge Zhu is relieved not to have Ge Wuchen.

He fears that the tragedy of the past will happen again, or at least, Ge Zhu wants to follow and sneak up behind Jiang Luo. He won't bother Jiang Luo by showing up, he just wants to make sure that Ge Wuchen won't kill his friends that he considers family again.

Like the three brothers who were once, killed by Ge Wuchen in front of him.

*

The mountains tower over you, and the higher you climb, the more desolate the scenery and the colder the temperature.

Although I don't know where the dragon's eye is, it's right to go towards the dragon's head. Wang guide in front of the road, he grew up in the mountains, very familiar with the mountain road. Along the way did not meet wild beasts, a group of people in the Dawu Mountain walked for almost three hours, when the sun rose high, finally walked to the location of the dragon's head.

Wei He looked at the map, longan this thing is not easy to find. They simply split into two teams, Wei He and Wang guide to the north side. Jiang Luo led the others to the south side.

Ge Wuchen was supposed to be in Taoist Master Wei He's group, but he followed Jiang Luo with Lisa, who didn't care about them and said, "Aren't you afraid that Taoist Master Wei He will run away?"

Ge Wuchen smiled lightly, "It's all come to this, running away is the only way to offend both sides. Taoist Master Wei He will do his best to find the Dragon's Eye as long as he cares about the Lian Family's clansmen for one day."

Jiang Luo was just asking casually as he continued to hold the compass, approaching towards the dragon's eye that Wen Renlian and the others had found out.

The deeper he went, the fewer traces of wild beasts and birds there were around him, Jiang Luo unknowingly walked to the approximate range of the Dragon's Eye. He stopped and looked around, this place was already deep into the Dawu Mountain, it was completely like a deep forest.

Ge Wuchen asks, "Do you think the Dragon's Eye is around here?"

Jiang Luo perfunctorily, "Pretty much."

Ge Wuchen tries to find traces of the Dragon's Eye in his surroundings. Lisa held his hand and blinked her round eyes at Jiang Luo, slowly chewing the jerky in her mouth, "Lisa knows that there is a cave nearby, oh, inside the cave is the Dragon's Eye."

Jiang Luo turned back to her at the sound of her voice, and Lisa said with a smile, "Pretty brother, if you release that big tiger and give it to me, I'll tell you where that cave is."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and put on a half-convinced look, "How do you know that's a dragon's eye? Why do I feel like you're lying?"

Lisa deflated her mouth and said, disgruntled, "Lisa was telling the truth, there's a little river outside the cave that's full of piranhas, that's what they told me."

Jiang Luo snorted out a laugh, "Piranha? Hahaha, you're a deep water fish and you still have a common language with piranhas?"

The more he did, the angrier Lisa got, and the more information about the cave kept coming out of her mouth. The soil was moist, and there were beautiful red mushrooms at the entrance of the cave. Such detailed information was definitely not something that could be made up on the fly. Jiang Luo had given all the words he could, squatted down and dug the soil, and looked at the humidity of the soil.

After digging down a little bit, he felt moist, Jiang Luo looked around, it was the new spring, the old leaves in the forest had not finished falling off, but the new shoots had already begun to grow. But if you look closely, you can see that there are more young green weeds growing on the southwest side of the ground than in the other direction.

This means that there is water underground on the southwest side.

Satisfied, Jiang Luo got up and stroked Lisa's head with a smile, and Lisa was flattered.

Patting the Blood Eel leader on the head, Jiang Luo headed southwest, "Come on, the cave is this way."

Teng Bi followed without hesitation, and Lisa's mouth dropped open as she murmured incredulously, "Why did he know to go that way?"

After ten minutes of walking in a southwesterly direction, Jiang Luo's nose picked up the scent of dampness, and soon they came upon the cave Lisa had described.

In front of the cave there is indeed a fast-flowing river. The current was two meters wide and it was hard to see how deep it was. Teng Bi dropped a branch into it and when he brought it back up, it was covered with pitted bite marks.

The current was wide, but they could jump over it with a few big men, but Lisa would have a hard time.

But Lisa had her own way; she stood at the edge of the lake and whistled, and all the piranhas in the lake sprang up in a flash, and the fish piled up together to form a fish bridge.

Lisa stepped lightly on the fish bridge and took the lead across.

The bridge of fish did not disperse after she walked across. But Jiang Luo and the others didn't want to step on the hideously shaped piranhas to cross the river at all, they just took a few steps back a boost and leapt over the river.

The location of the cave next to the river is hidden, covered by layers of dead branches and vines, if you don't look carefully, you won't even realize that there is a cave hidden here. Jiang Luo is already sure that this is the eye of the dragon, he wanted to send the location, but the phone out to see realized that there is no signal.

He wasn't too surprised, and took out his flashlight and dagger to head into the cave. Ge Wuchen stepped forward in time and took the lead in front of him, faintly saying, "Jiang Shi Zhu, just leave this kind of pathfinding to us. You just need to protect yourself and not have any accidents."

The cave is dark, the deeper you go, the narrower the path, Teng Bi will Jiang Luo protect tightly, Ge Wuchen in the front seems to be relaxed, but in fact, also tense nerves, the speed of the group is extremely slow, and at the end of the road is so narrow that only a single person can walk.

Remembering the words of the evil spirit, Teng Bi has no qualms about Lisa's age and leaves her at the end of the line, standing by Jiang Luo's side.

Lisa grunted, but didn't say anything, instead dutifully taking charge of security in the back.

Jiang Luo looked at the way the three of them had shielded themselves from the world and wanted another cigarette.

Because he knew that he was getting this protection all because of someone's orders.

At the end of the walk, the path becomes a stone staircase going straight down.

The top of the stone staircase is arched, and one's head almost touches the top as one walks down the stairs. Jiang Luo stroked the walls on both sides, his fingers stained with a lot of yellow dust that had rubbed off.

He shone his flashlight in all directions, and the staircase was quiet, almost silent except for their footsteps.

Such silence was so uncomfortable that it could even produce the uncomfortable feeling of being deaf. Jiang Luo asked in a low voice, "Ge Wuchen, when does the front end?"

Ge Wuchen was silent.

Jiang Luo was a bit strange, "Ge Wuchen?"

Ge Wuchen suddenly murmured, "Ge Zhu?"

Ge Zhu?

Jiang Luo frowned fiercely, holding a flashlight from the side of Ge Wuchen's face to shine forward, but the result is that there is nothing in front, or a silent black.

But Ge Wuchen, as if nightmarish, suddenly increased his speed and ran forward, scolding sternly, "Ge Zhu, don't go there!"

Before anyone else could react, Ge Wuchen had run off into the darkness, not knowing where to go.

Teng Bi immediately pulled Jiang Luo behind himself, staring stonily into the darkness ahead, and said tentatively, "Ge Wuchen?"

The voice echoed inside the stone staircase, and Ge Wuchen did not respond.

Teng Bi frowned and wanted to scream again, but was stopped by Jiang Luo, "Don't scream, there's only one road here, he's right in front of us, let's keep going forward, we'll see him sooner or later."

Teng Bi nodded with a sullen face. Lisa poked her head from the back with some curiosity, "Is he crazy? Who is Ge Zhu."

"He's deluded," Jiang Luo rubbed the wall dust off his fingers, "I suspect this is an ancient tomb."

Lisa said, confused, "Tomb?"

"This staircase is the Hanging Soul Staircase," Jiang Luo looked ahead, "a kind of mechanism in ancient tombs, known as the Soul Hooking and Misty Road, capable of causing people to have illusions."

"We'll have to be careful the rest of the way, the people behind us holding the clothes of the people in front of us as we hold onto the wall and walk down with our eyes closed."
