When I heard Huangquan's corpse hunter's words, I couldn't answer all of a sudden. After thinking about it in my heart, I can't think of a right answer, I can only think that what he said is all wrong.
"You are not convinced, are you?" Huangquan's corpse hunter still has no expression on his face, still faint and calm.
"I'm not convinced, it's my business." I pointed to the trembling old Liu, and said to the Huangquan Corpse Collector: "At least, I'm not convinced about this person."
"Why are you not convinced?"
"Why do you arrest someone and hold on, he owes you?"
"There is no way, but I am the way of heaven. You have to talk about reason. There is no reason in this world." Huangquan said, "Since there is no reason, then I will create reason. What I say and what I do is all truth. ."
This is just arguing. I really don't want to pester him and said, "You let people go."
The corpse hunter Huangquan looked at me, and then at the old Liu who was trembling behind him.
"Let him go, if things here are leaked out, who will take care of it?"
"If you don't let him go, the things here won't leak out?"
"When the thing is done, it's okay to leak it casually." The Huangquan corpse scavenger turned the bow and drove towards the lower reaches of the Huangquan River. While holding the boat, he said, "Do you want to save him?"
"He has a family and a mouth. If something happens to him, who can the family expect? Killing one person is tantamount to killing a family."
"In this case, keep him alive." The Huangquan corpse hunter shook his head gently at me and said, "But remember, you didn't convince me to keep him alive."
The tone of Huangquan's corpse hunter was as if this incident had completely saved me face.
The old man and I didn't escape too far. The corpse-fishing boat went down the river and soon reached the end of the river.
"There is an abyss ahead!" I was taken aback. The corpse scavenger in Huangquan seemed unable to see the abyss ahead. The corpse scavenger was still moving forward quickly, and he was about to rush to the bottom of the abyss.
I was nervous, Lao Liu was even more nervous, and the whole person seemed to be lying flat on the boat. The corpse hunter in Huangquan was as quiet as Mount Tai. When the boat was three or four feet away from the edge of the abyss, the boat shook suddenly and flashed to the right side of the river.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the Huangquan corpse scavenger raising his hand and throwing a rope. The rope was a noose. After the rope flew out, it was unbiased, and it happened to be wrapped around a hook-shaped stone on the side of the river.
After the rope was tightened, the Huangquan corpse scavenger pulled the rope with one hand, and the whole boat seemed to have taken root in the river. No matter how fast the waves were, it would be difficult to shake the boat for half a minute.
There was a cold sweat on my forehead unknowingly, and I was a little shocked. The corpse hunter Huangquan didn't look like a big five or three rough person, and his appearance was slightly elegant, but he didn't expect that he had a great strength on one arm, and he controlled the boat with one hand, which was abnormally stable.
The corpse hunter in Huangquan pulled the rope and let the boat dock. A rope confined the boat to the shore.
The old man and I fled. We fled along the left side of the river, because there was no choice. The Huangquan corpse scavenger parked the boat on the right side, and he could see that he was familiar with the road when he parked the boat, and he did not know how many times he had gone back and forth.
On the right side of the river, there is a path like a plank road. Although it is very narrow, it is relatively stable. Obviously, it was dug out by a little bit of manpower. Huangquan Corpse Hunter
Jump off the boat and let me follow.
"You did everything possible to come here, isn't it just to find out what's wrong?" Huangquan's corpse hunter looked at me and said: "You don't need to spend your time, I will let you see what you want to see."
"Are you so generous?" I have noticed that although the Huangquan corpse hunter is dressed in ordinary clothes and is only responsible for catching people who want to escape on the river, he must have a considerable status in this place.
Moreover, I faintly noticed that Huangquan's corpse hunter seemed to have seen through me wearing a mask, but he didn't say anything, and led the way.
Lao Liu was already out of the way, I helped him walk for a while, thinking constantly in my heart. Now how to do? Huangquan's corpse hunter walked ahead, seeming to have no defense against me and Lao Liu.
However, even if the other party is not prepared, what can he do? We definitely can't escape, and Huangquan Corpse Collector also said just now, no matter what, Lao Liu will not be killed.
I thought about it for a moment. The appearance of Huangquan's corpse hunter really seemed to be showing me around here. My heart is stunned, anyway, it's already like this, I can only adapt to changes.
This plank road is very short. When I walked along the plank road to the edge of the abyss, I saw a very long rope ladder. The rope ladder dropped from here to the bottom of the abyss. The Huangquan corpse hunter still didn't speak, and climbed down the rope ladder.
"What should I do now..." Old Liu's lips trembled. He did everything possible to escape from below the abyss, but now he is about to be sent back again, with 10,000 reluctance and fear in his heart.
"It's okay, save your life first." I comforted: "As long as we can live, there is still hope of going out."
We were talking and we got to the rope ladder. I climbed down first. Old Liu hesitated for a moment and could only come down together.
There is a rope ladder, which makes it easier to get up and down. When we climbed to the bottom of the abyss, I only felt even more shocked.
I looked down above the abyss before, and some things couldn't be seen clearly, and I couldn't really feel the vastness of this abyss. When I was really standing under the abyss, I felt that this place was like an isolated world. I don't know how many people are busy below.
Many people are dragging the rope. There are living people and corpses. Old Liu said that after these corpses are killed, no one will care about them. They will not run away anyway, and they don't need to eat or drink. And those living people always have to eat and drink Lazar, so besides the people who drag the rope, there are many others, just like Lao Liu, who usually do some chores.
The Huangquan corpse hunter walked slowly, wherever he went, although the guards did not speak, they bowed their heads and retreated, with respectful expressions.
I heard Lao Liu say that most of these guards were found from outside, and there were very few people on the road to the world, and many people had to be hired to do many things.
However, the fate of these guards is not much better than that of coolies. They usually have better eating and drinking conditions, but in the end, they must be killed just like coolies to prevent the news here from leaking out.
Looking at the scenes before me, I felt that this was like a craftsman who built the emperor's tomb thousands of years ago. After the emperor's tomb was repaired, everyone would be trapped in it.
Huangquan’s corpse hunter didn’t say a word, but only led the way. I followed him for a while.
Before asking: "You let the person next to me go first, and talk about other things slowly."
"You will only do things that seem to be good but useless." The Huangquan corpse hunter pointed to this vast space and said: "There are so many people here. What can you do if you save one? Could it be you Can you save everyone?"
"I can't save so much, and I can't control so much. I can only save one and count one. This is what you promised. You will never break your promise."
The Huangquan corpse hunter turned his head and said to the two guards: "You take this man down, don't embarrass him."
The two guards immediately stepped forward and took Lao Liu down. Old Liu looked sad, but he had no choice.
After Lao Liu was taken away, the Huangquan Corpse Collector stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the spot, looking up at the huge gate above.
There were at least dozens of ropes hanging down from the gate. Each rope was strong and was dragged by one or two hundred people. So many people are pulling the rope desperately. In my opinion, this kind of work is completely useless. If the door could be opened, it would have been opened long ago. If it could not be opened, no matter how many people dragged it, it would be useless.
"For many years, this door has never been opened." The Huangquan Corpse Collector didn't know whether he was talking to me or talking to himself. He looked at the door and said, "But, it's almost time to open."
"You said you can open it when you open it? If it could be opened, it would have been opened long ago."
"A drop of water does not work overnight." Huangquan said without looking back, "If you happen to see a stone being pierced by a drop of water, would you feel that it was the force of the last drop of water? Water droplets can only drop. Wearing a stone is because before it, there are already tens of millions of water droplets walking in front of it."
The corpse hunter Huangquan really didn't break his promise. He stood here for a while, then got up and started walking. I followed him. This time, there was no need to dodge and the scenes under the abyss were all presented in front of him.
In fact, there is nothing to see in these scenes, I have seen them, and Lao Liu has also told a lot. It's just the most critical issue, I haven't found out yet.
What is behind this gate? It is worth wasting so much manpower and material resources to open it.
"Don't you want to see it? Look, don't hesitate to watch." Huangquan's corpse scavenger's tone seemed to have a hint of swaying. He seemed to be telling me that even though all of this is close in front of my eyes, I only Can see, but nothing can be changed.
There are many small holes at the foot of the rock wall on the side of the abyss. These small holes are places where the guards usually stay. The guards can rest here and drink water. In each small hole, there is some burning smoke. These fumes are emitted from the burning of charred bones.
The bones are messy, and there are all kinds of bones. I can identify them. These bones should be the bones of livestock and wild animals that were chopped to death by the sky. Tianlei is a thing of pure Yang. The bones that have been split by Tianlei carry a trace of Tianlei's pure yang breath, and the smoke produced by burning can properly resist the thick yin below the abyss.
The corpse hunter in Huangquan walked for a long time, and the abyss still has no end. He paused and led me to a relatively large cave. The cave was very empty except for one used as a table. Apart from the big stone and a few small stones, there is nothing else.
