Chapter 20: Upside Down Immortal

Indeed, in the twilight, there were nine mountains stacked on top of each other. Zhang Qishan quirked his brow, smiled, and remained silent, so Qi Tiezui continued: "Although it was my family member who reported the news, everyones dead. The Qi family has done their part. Although your Zhang family is also sparse, its better than a bachelor like me. I can't do it. Before I get married, I must follow the ancestral teachings."

Zhang Qishan looked around, but didnt force him. Instead, he said, "Look at this place, Old Ba. Why do you think your senior was involved in transporting these ancient coffins by train? If he was truly a member of the Qi family, shouldnt he also follow the principle of cherishing his life?"

"Could it be that different people have different backbones?" Even though Lieutenant was mocking him, Qi Tiezui wasnt angry. He did his calculations and said, "This is a gathering place of the Miao and Tu people. Even if some of them know about feng shui, its not as well-developed as the Central Plains. Most of them are witch doctors, so if my ancestor came here, he was either living in seclusion or traveled here. Or he was invited by someone."

That someone Qi Tiezui mentioned was the Japanese. If they wanted to break ground here, they had to take over the mine as cover. It was possible that there was something in the mine that the Japanese couldnt solve, so they brought in a talented master from another place.

Based on the oracle bone fragments found in the corpses stomachs, this master did think of some methods, but these people were still born to die in the end.

If the Japanese involved were dead, then that meant someone hadn't removed the cover that hid the forked tracks extending from the mine after the train had gotten onto the main railway. Otherwise, the team that had gone on ahead would have already found them.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

The area above had descended into utter chaos, but even when the lights were turned on and everyone looked around, no one had noticed that three people were missing. The captured men below looked at the abyss beneath their heads and didnt dare put up a struggle. Zhang Qishan whispered coldly to the man he held, "I ask, you answer. As long as Im not satisfied, Ill throw you down. First question. Wheres the hidden section of railroad track here?"

When he loosened fingers a bit from the man's mouth, the man took a deep breath. He was trembling in fear, but he closed his eyes and remained silent. Zhang Qishan was just about to ask again, when the man suddenly slammed his head back and started struggling hard. His flailing caused the soldiers hands above to slip, and he almost dropped the both of them. The struggling man was about to shout, but Zhang Qishan broke his neck with a muffled crack before any sound could escape. The body was then dropped into the abyss.

When the person above managed to pull him up, Zhang Qishan rolled over and grabbed one side of the rock wall. He then looked at the other two people. One of them was basically petrified and didnt dare move at all, while the other one in Lieutenant's hand was scared half to death and wanted to struggle. Lieutenant held him tightly to constrain his movements. They were moving so much that the people above couldnt support them, and those who had just grabbed Zhang Qishan went over to help hold Lieutenant's other foot.

Zhang Qishan whispered, "One is enough. Throw them down if theyre not willing to cooperate."

Lieutenant Zhang replied, "Fo Ye, this one is a woman."

Zhang Qishan lit a match and leaned forward to get a look at the face of the person Lieutenant was holding onto. It really was a woman. He said coldly, "So what?"

"Didn't Ba Ye say he doesn't have a wife yet?" Lieutenant whispered. "Besides, I found something wrong with her." With that said, Lieutenant lifted the woman's chin and showed Zhang Qishan her neck. There were many tiny holes in the woman's neck, as if she had been eaten by insects. It was exactly the same as the bodies on the train.
