If my guess is correct, the reason why Chen Hanxing helped me was because he and Ji Liping reached some kind of agreement, and the heroic spirit of Jiangshan Iron Guard should be bound by the agreement and obey Ji Liping.
This is a fact that is difficult to accept for both Chen Hanxing and Jiangshan Tiewei.
After we went up the mountain, Chen Hanxing never came back, which further proved that he was following orders from someone, and that person could only be Ji Liping.
As Ji Liping and I remained silent, the sound of a car moving outside became increasingly distant. The car drove away, and all that remained was the massive encirclement of the wooden puppets.
In just a short moment, the sound of wooden sticks hitting the ground came towards us like a tide, and the sound of wooden sticks scratching on the carriage suddenly occurred, and everyone's face changed.
I still stared at Ji Liping in front of me without saying a word. She didn't need to do anything, just her calmness was enough to reveal her identity.
Guan Qingyan, who was still leaning on the carriage, said weakly: "Ji Liping has been my assistant for only one month. She was recommended by the head of a local company..."
When Ji Liping raised her head slightly, there was a sudden loud shock from the side of the carriage, and the whole truck shook.
After I steadied my feet, I calmly said, "You haven't made up your mind yet? If you wait any longer, the car will be overturned."
Ji Liping suddenly put her hand to her mouth and blew twice. A moment later, the sound of the arrow breaking through the wind passed through the carriage and pierced our eardrums.
"Crossbow array! The signature of Xuan Jing Division!" I smiled and said, "I wonder what position Madam Ji holds in Xuan Jing Division?"
In just a few words, the sound of arrows as dense as a rainstorm suddenly fell near the car, and earth-shattering screams also rose to the sky near the car. If I didn't know that the people outside the car were puppets controlled by evil spirits, I would even think that hundreds of people were being slaughtered by arrows.
Soon after the first wave of arrows fell, the second wave followed, and the sound of metal colliding was immediately heard outside the carriage. Countless arrows collided violently with the outer box of the truck in a short moment and then bounced to the ground, and the screams outside the carriage gradually died down.
Until then, Ji Liping said: "I have no official position in Xuanjing Division. I came here just to seek justice for Brother Yifan."
It's Sun Yifan again! He has so many women!
From her words, I could tell that Ji Liping was not Sun Yifan's legitimate woman, otherwise, she should have called Sun Yifan "brother" just like Sun Xiaomei. Moreover, she should really have no official position, otherwise letting the people from the Xuanjing Division intervene in the battle between me and Hell Gate would be tantamount to breaking the rules.
Although the people of Xuan Jing Si are overbearing, they will not do things that would give others a chance to criticize them.
Ji Liping looked at me and said, "My people have already wiped out the puppets. What are you going to do?"
I said in a deep voice: "Let Chen Hanxing's men drive into Shenmu Temple. I want to enter the temple."
Ji Liping hesitated for a moment and sent out the signal again. I clearly heard the car nearby start to move, so I turned around and shouted to Nangong Ling, "Keep an eye on Ji Liping! Monk, let's go!"
Monk Shi and I pushed open the car doors on the left and right and jumped out, then quickly rushed into the cab, stepping on the corpses on the ground.
As soon as we were seated, a truck rushed towards the unfinished Shenmu Temple. I shouted in the cab, "Don't go up, get out of my way!"
The trucks in front of us really moved to the left and right, making way for me. I reached out and pushed Monk Shi: "Speed up, and crash into the temple first!"
Shi Heshang released the clutch, stepped on the accelerator, and shifted into fourth gear in just 20 meters. The truck suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Shenmu Temple at lightning speed. Shi Heshang held the steering wheel tightly with both hands: "There are steps ahead. I will try to rush up. If I am not careful, I may overturn. Hold on tight!"
I just grabbed the safety handrail beside the door when Shi Heshang turned the wheel violently. The edge of the front wheel of the truck rested on the steps. The marble crushed by the wheels flew up from under the truck. The truck also rushed onto the platform and ran straight into the unfinished Shenmu Temple. In a short moment, it was close to the outer wall of Shenmu Temple.
"Mysterious Ice Armor!" I shouted angrily and pushed out my hands. The Mysterious Qi that flowed out from my palms instantly formed an ice curtain in front of the car. The windshield of the truck had been smashed by me. If I didn't use the Mysterious Qi to block the window, Monk Shi and I would be smashed and bleeding by the rocks that jumped in. At this critical moment, I could only use the Mysterious Ice Armor for defense.
The moment the black ice spread out before my eyes, the wall collapsed, and the loud sound of bricks and stones falling to the ground came from the roof. As countless stones hit the roof one after another, I also felt that the car was constantly moving forward.
"Monk, be careful!" According to the scale of Shenmu Temple that I saw on the top of the mountain, we should be approaching the center of Shenmu Temple now, and what should come will come soon.
Just as Shi Heshang slowed down the car, I heard a loud bang from under the car. The whole truck suddenly hung in the air and fell straight to the ground. "Be careful!"
I just shouted, and my whole body was bounced up by the force generated when the truck landed, until I hit the roof and fell back to my original position.
I didn't care about the dull pain on my head, I pushed the door and jumped out of the car. Before my feet hit the ground, I could see the scene underground clearly - under the Shenmu Temple was a huge artificial cave.
The endless cave even makes people feel that someone forcibly hollowed out the entire mountain into a hollow shell to build such a huge cave.
I just glanced into the cave, then turned and ran towards the carriage: "Take the people inside!"
Monk Shi quickly opened the carriage and pulled Nangong Ling out. I also carried the powerless Guan Qingyan on my back and ran towards the depths of the cave.
We hadn't run far when we heard a loud rumble behind us. When I looked back with a flashlight, a truck had fallen from the sky and was on top of the car we had been driving.
The distance from Shenmu Temple to the underground was not very high, and the two trucks were pressed together with part of the roof exposed outside the pit. The truck behind probably didn't catch up, leaving a gap at the entrance of the cave, and someone happened to climb down to the bottom of the cave along the gap around the truck.
The Mirror Department? Or the Gate of Hell
I took out the detonator remote control from my body and pressed it hard. I rushed forward for a distance with Guan Qingyan on my back, flew to the ground, and slid forward along the ground.
While I was in the middle of it, I hugged Guan Qingyan and suddenly turned over, pressed her down, opened my arms to protect her tightly under me, and lay on the ground.
At the same time, a thunderous explosion sounded from behind me. After the scorching air wave rolled over my head, a burning wheel also rolled past me into the distance.
When I managed to raise my head and look behind me, I saw that the two trucks stacked on top of each other were already ablaze. The flames that swept across the sky had already blocked the exit we were going to fall from, and the warlock who had just climbed down the side of the truck had already been reduced to ashes, without even a corpse left.
"Okay, let's move forward!" I pulled Guan Qingyan up and carried her on my back as I walked into the cave. Guan Qingyan gently put her hand on the skin on my back that was injured by the fire shackles: "Wu Zhao, you are injured. You..."
"Don't talk!" I shouted angrily and quickened my pace to walk deeper into the cave.
At first I thought the cave was on a horizontal line, but now I know that from the position of the truck forward, the terrain in the cave becomes a slope leading directly underground, so after I jumped, the distance I slid on the ground was much farther than usual.
However, the further we go now, the deeper we go underground, and the more unpredictable the outcome of this journey will be.
After we jumped out of the car, we didn't pay any attention to Ji Liping anymore, but she followed us closely. It was only then that she spoke up, "Wu Zhao, were all our reactions in your plan? Did you expect Nangong Ling to betray us? Did you expect Miao Kong to take action? Did you expect me to bring people to help? How many things have you not expected?"
Actually, I really didn’t count that much!
I just made a few more preparations. If I could reach an agreement with Miaokong and enter the Shenmu Temple the first time, I would not have suddenly exposed Ji Liping.
Ji Liping had no idea what I was thinking, and continued, "The liquefied gas you prepared was actually intended to fight against the Xuanjing Division and the Hell Gate, right? You deliberately set off a fire to seal the cave, so you were going to fight Shenmu Temple alone? Where did you get the confidence from?"
I detonated the car to stop the Xuan Jing Division and the Hell Gate. Although the explosion of the liquefied gas tank is not as powerful as the earth-shaking power of the *, it is more likely to cause a fire. Now the ground must be blazing with flames, and the Xuan Jing Division can't rush into the underground in a short time even if they have the ability to reach the sky. Naturally, I don't have to worry about being attacked from both sides and being killed by the Xuan Jing Division.
Sometimes, the reason a person does something is actually very simple, but in the eyes of others, it becomes unfathomable. The more Ji Liping asked, the less I answered, and the more she frowned: "Wu Zhao, if you don't have any backup plan, don't go in anymore..."
While the other party was talking, Monk Shi and I stopped at the same time and shone our flashlights on the walls on both sides of the cave. The rock wall, which was originally empty, now had a dense number of cave openings like the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves. In each cave opening sat a statue of a god wearing a fiery red cassock.
When I shone the flashlight on the face of one of the Buddha statues, what came into my sight was a sallow human head.
