161. Into the Forest of Death(2/3)
Ye Ling grabbed Liu Shu and secretly said to her: "Aunt Shu, I think something is wrong with that coffin. Don't go down or get close to it."
Liu Shu said nervously: "What did you meet? Is it okay?!"
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but there were many people falling into the crack in the ground. No one is seen now. Our teacher Jiang fell from above, and there was no external injury at all. Also, as soon as I approached the coffin, I felt cold. Don't go down."
Liu Shu said: "Okay, I'll tell them not to go down first, don't worry, I will have everything."
After Liu Shu left, Mu Ze came forward and asked, "Are they from Liucheng Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute?"
Ye Ling said: "Yeah."
Liucheng Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute is very famous throughout Central China, so many local people know that Liucheng has such a research institute.
After a while, many cars drove over, all of whom came to pick up people.
Before leaving, Mu Ze said to Ye Ling: "Give me your phone number. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to see Teacher Jiang and other classmates. Are you going?"
Ye Ling nodded, then said a string of numbers, Mu Ze said: "Okay, contact us tomorrow."
He was about to get in the car, but remembered something, and took a bottle of mineral water and a bag of chocolate from the car: "You may have to wait for your aunt for a while, and eat it first when you are hungry."
Ye Ling was a little stunned. This was the first time she had received a gift from her classmates, and she didn't know whether she should reach out to receive it.
Mu Ze smiled and said, "It's not a expensive thing, just take it."
Ye Ling still took it.
"See you tomorrow!" Mu Ze waved.
"See you tomorrow." Ye Ling whispered.
After the people were almost gone, Ye Ling walked to the school gate, and Liu Shu and the others were discussing around the crack of the ground. Liu Shu had a serious face, while Wu Jingguo had his eyes lit up.
"Let's do it for now. You have to report this matter to the superiors. Let's send someone here to guard it first. No one is allowed to get close to the coffin, nor are you allowed to go down, do you know?" Liu Shu said with the final say.
Wu Jingguo's eyes stuck to the coffin and couldn't loosen at all. He said excitedly: "I'm here to watch it, you can send Ling'er back first."
Liu Shu said: "It's good, I don't have to worry if you are there."
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, which was much cooler than outside. Due to the earthquake, the street lights were all turned down, and the whole road was pitch black, with only the slight light shining from the headlights.
Liu Shu held the steering wheel and said to Ye Ling: "I just called your principal. The school has been closed for this period. You have lived in my house these days. The house in your community is a bit old, so I'm not relieved."
Ye Ling nodded: "Aunt Shu, Uncle Wu seemed very happy just now."
Liu Shu laughed and said, "You have noticed it too? He is a researcher of Shangning culture. This coffin now looks very much like Shangning's thing. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have gone downstairs."
Shangning refers to the previous Ning Dynasty, and Ning Dynasty was the earliest dynasty in Zhongzhou to prove its existence.
Ye Ling was silent for a while before saying, "Aunt Shu, my parents are also studying Shangning culture. This coffin is so strange that I always think it has something to do with the cause of my parents' death."
Speaking of Ye Ling's parents, Liu Shu's feet on the accelerator suddenly loosened and the car became slower.
The car became very quiet, with only the faint singing voice flowing from the speakers.
This is an old song called "I hope people will last forever". It was sung by a female singer who had long passed away. This song is the favorite song of Liu Shu and Ye Ling's mother Wang Shuyun. This singer is also their favorite singer.
On such a night, Ye Ling couldn't help but think of her childhood. In a quiet afternoon, the light blue curtains were gently fluttered by the wind. On the light gray cloth sand, her mother was holding her, and she was holding a yellow duck doll. Liu Shu was lying on the side, holding a book in her hand, and the song was played in the phonograph in their ears.
At that time, even the dust around us was flying in the sunshine. Unfortunately, time passed too quickly, and it had been ten years since that time.
It has been ten years since her parents passed away.
"Why do you think so?" Liu Shucai asked after a long time.
Ye Ling said: "I have seen that coffin once."
With a squeak, the car stopped.
"Where did you see it?" Liu Shu turned her head and looked a little stern.
Ye Ling lowered his head and said, "I saw my father painted it."
"It is after they came back from where?" Liu Shu asked.
Ye Ling nodded: "The pattern on the coffin looks very similar to that dad painted it. Dad burns the painting every time he finishes drawing it. If I hadn't seen the coffin today, I wouldn't have remembered that there was such a thing."
Liu Shu tightened her hand holding the steering wheel: "The cause of your parents' death is indeed strange. I have been checking it for so many years. You are still young and now you just need to study hard. I have other things."
In a villa, through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Ling watched the sun slowly rise from the junction of the lake and the sky, and the water birds and the breeze slid across the calm lake together, like huge dark blue gems shining with sparkling waves.
Wang Yuran walked up, patted her on the shoulder and said, "The scenery here is beautiful."
Ye Ling nodded: "It's very beautiful."
Wang Yuran said: "When you win today, we will stay here for a few days and relax."
Suddenly, the TV set on the wall turned on, and a girl in blue with a bright smile said hello to Ye Ling and Wang Yuran.
"Good morning, Miss Ye Ling. Your appointment today is at 9 o'clock. You still have an hour to prepare. A special car will come to pick you up in half an hour."
"Your appointment with Mr. Qi Yuanshan will be broadcast live by Fuqingtai. The guests paid by Yancheng and the guests present can watch this part of the income after deducting the cost of Fuqingtai, all of them will be obtained by the winner. Do you have any questions?"
Wang Yuran said: "How much is the price this time?"
The girl said: "30,000 people watch live, and 10,000 people live broadcast on TV."
Wang Yuran said, "It's not bad. It seems that Qi Yuanshan is indeed very optimistic."
"How many people have made an appointment?" Wang Yuran asked again.
The girl said: "There are currently 839 people making reservations for live TV, and 156 tickets have been sold on site."
Wang Yuran calculated the money and turned his head to Ye Ling, saying, "Fuqingtai will charge 40% of the fee, and the rest is yours. Remember to treat me to a meal."
Ye Ling only learned yesterday that the appointment to Fuqingtai is a tradition in Yancheng. Anyone who is interested in this appointment can pay or watch it on the spot. The money is divided by Fuqingtai and the final winner.
It’s also a blessing that Ye Ling’s opponent this time is Qi Yuanshan, a rising star. If someone who is as unknown as hers, he would not be qualified to make a fight in Fu Qingtai.
"Let's go and change your clothes." Wang Yuran said.
At 8:45, Ye Ling got off the car, and there was already a man in black clothes standing on the huge platform in front of him, which was Qi Yuanshan.
On the stands around the high platform, there were people from the Qi family and the Wang family sitting on the left and right.
As soon as he saw Ye Ling, the people in the Qi family couldn't help but boo.
"I dare to make an appointment to fight Brother Yuan Shan, it depends on how you die today!" A girl roared at Ye Ling.
"That's right, it depends on how you die!"
The others also echoed, and the loud voices shocked all the birds around them.
Wang Yuran sneered, she raised her hand and said loudly: "It should be up to me, Sister Ye Ling, how to beat up your Qi family members."
The boys and girls of the Wang family behind her were not willing to be outdone and shouted at the top of their voices: "Breaking the Qi family, beat the Qi family!"
For a moment, the entire Fuqing stage was filled with roars from both sides.
Wang Chenshan smiled at Wang Zizhen on the side and said, "Children are young and energetic."
Prince Zhen said: "It's not a bad thing."
Qi Zhongtian, who was sitting opposite, looked at Ye Ling with interest: "I heard that she has completed the ancient method."
Wang Shuying smiled and said, "Even if the body refining is perfect, what if you can't beat Yuan Shan."
Qi Zhongtian patted her hands: "I'm still a little worried about Shu Yun's daughter."
A dark light flashed in Wang Shuying's eyes: "Don't worry, Yuan Shan will definitely win."
Ye Ling leaped his toes and jumped onto the platform.
"I didn't expect you to really dare to come." Qi Yuanshan sneered, "I'll send you down to apologize to my brother today!"
Ye Ling said lightly: "I don't know how to apologize, I only know how your brother begged me for mercy at that time."
She curled the corners of her mouth: "Actually, I hope he will survive, just like you. After all, if he survives, I will have the chance to kill him again!"
Qi Yuanshan's chest was undulating violently, with a long hand in his hand pointed at Ye Ling and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's start!"
With Qi Yuanshan's finger, there were a burst of cheers coming from Qi's family.
At this time, a light curtain appeared on the edge of the Fuqing platform, and there was still a smiling girl in blue on the light curtain.
"When the decisive battle is about to begin, I will introduce to you the two confrontationists. The gentleman standing on the right is Qi Yuanshan from the Qi family. He is seventeen years old and has a complete body training. His record in Fuqingtai is three battles and three victories."
She blinked playfully: "I heard that he will participate in the fifth district trial in two years, and he is an opponent that cannot be ignored."
"And standing on my left is Ye Ling from the Wang family. She is fifteen years old this year and has just completed her physical training. This is the first time she has stepped onto the Fuqing Platform. I hope she can achieve good results."
"Now." A huge clock appeared in front of the girl, which was exactly eight:59.
"I announce." As the second hand rotated, an expectant smile appeared in the girl's eyes.
"Appointment for a fight."
Her hand was raised high, and when she finally pointed to Twelve in seconds, she slashed her arm hard: "Start!"
Amid the overwhelming roars and applause, Qi Yuanshan took action!
With lightning speed, the spear head with silver light had already reached the tip of Ye Ling's nose.
In Qi Yuanshan's smug eyes, Ye Ling bent her waist and leaned back like a willow branch. She grew and the gun almost wiped the tip of her nose.
