Chapter 52: Ascending the Mountain
I looked at the endless river: "The Li family killed your two apprentices but didn't touch Lao Chen, not because she showed mercy, but because she asked us to go over to find her." The river is the way she showed us, and as we go up the river, she will definitely be waiting for us somewhere. ”
Shi Jinglong's eyes lit up: "Could that place be the dragon's heart?"
"No!" I shook my head and said, "The purpose of the Li clan is to kill people and destroy the mouth, not to take us to find the dragon's heart." ”
My eyes were slightly cold as I spoke: "You'd better not beat Lao Chen's idea, otherwise, I'll let you die first." ”
Saving Lao Chen was the only reason for me to go up the river according to Li's plan. The purpose of the stone dragon is the heart of the dragon, and our purpose is different, and the direction we want to go will not be the same. Only when Lao Chen is dead, will I go straight to the dragon's heart and lure the Li family over to fight to the death. I was afraid that Shi Jinglong would come up with some crooked ideas that would be unfavorable to Lao Chen, so I warned the other party in advance.
Shi Jinglong laughed dryly and said, "We are cooperating, of course I know what I want to do?" ”
Shi Jinglong turned his head to look at Wang Changhai: "You go and put Lao Chen on your back, don't play any tricks." ”
Wang Changhai had no choice but to carry Lao Chen on his back and follow a few of us to the mountain. I had been walking up the river, and the more we went up, the deeper the snow on the mountain, and when we reached the depths of the mountain, the snow on the mountain was knee-high, and the river was completely covered with snow, and we could only see water flowing out of the snow hole.
I stood on the edge of the last stretch of the river and looked at the sky: "I'm not going tonight, I'll rest here for the night." ”
"Are you crazy?" Shi Jinglong exclaimed, "We came up from below, we didn't bring any equipment, you want to spend the night in the snow, aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"
The mountains in the northeast are not a place where anyone can sleep if they want to sleep and live if they want to, not to mention whether the strong winds in the mountains can bury people overnight, just the temperature that drips into ice can make people not wake up.
We might have been better off with our tents and sleeping bags, but we were almost in a hurry up the mountain, and there was nothing to keep out the cold except the cotton clothes on our bodies, and it was indeed extremely dangerous to spend the night in the mountains.
I said in a deep voice, "If we want to go down the mountain now, can we go back?"
Shi Jinglong turned his head to look down the mountain, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to spend the night, you have to find a cave, right?"
"No need!" I pulled a sapper shovel from my backpack, dug out a nest of snow behind the snow, and patted it with a shovel: "Come in! Rest assured, this is the method of the bandits, and if the bandits freeze to death in the mountains, it will be a big joke. ”
I lit a fire in the hole in the snow and sat down on the fire.
It didn't take long for Wang Changhai to say in a trembling voice: "Wu ...... Mr. Wu, I'm so cold. I can't take it anymore. ”
"Go ahead, I won't freeze you!" Shi Jinglong scolded and looked outside again. The wind was already blowing on the mountain, and the snow particles that had been blown up by the wind were flying all over the sky and piling up at the entrance of the cave, and if it continued like this, it would not be long before the entrance of the cave would be sealed by snow.
Shi Jinglong whispered: "Wu asked, did you choose the wrong place, if we go on like this, we will have to be buried in the snow!"
Seeing that I didn't speak, Shi Jinglong's face suddenly became gloomy, his expression was that he wanted to have a seizure, and he was afraid that I would stand up and stab him, so he could only shut his mouth in a sneer.
Xiao Tang exclaimed at this time: "Wu asked, look at Lao Chen, he seems to be about to ...... Wu asked...... Wu asked......"
Xiao Tang shouted me twice, but he didn't see me agree, so he quickly stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of my eyes: "Wu asked, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yanxin got up and interviewed me under my nose: "He seems to have left his soul? No, he is channeling, you can see his hands." ”
Zhang Yanxin was the first to notice that my left hand hanging by my side was quietly pinching the magic trick. I immediately judged that I was channeling.
Shi Jinglong stood up suddenly: "At this time, is he crazy? What is he going to do? I'll wake him up!"
As soon as Shi Jinglong got up, Xiao Tang's dagger went under Shi Jinglong's neck: "Don't think that only Wu Wen will kill, if you dare to disturb Wu Wen, I will let you die immediately." ”
Warlock psychic, in a sense, is also in a state similar to the soul, the most taboo to be disturbed, once the psychic is forcibly interrupted, the warlock will inevitably be eaten by the secret method, the light is seriously injured, the heavy is completely out of the soul, into a soulless walking corpse.
Little Sugar certainly didn't dare to take the risk.
Shi Jinglong forcibly suppressed his anger: "Chen Shaoyuan is already dying, you still haven't woken up Wu Wen?"
Xiao Tang stared at Shi Jinglong intently: "You'd better not speak, otherwise, I don't dare to guarantee whether I will kill you or not." ”
At that time, Xiao Tang was like an unreasonable female bandit who didn't even give the other party a chance to speak.
Zhang Yanxin said quickly: "Uncle Shi, Wu Wen is psychic here, could it be to find the dragon heart? You see that there is blood on his fingertips, but there is no wound, could the blood be Wang Changhai's?"
Shi Jinglong's expression moved, he stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Changhai over, and looked up and down a few times before finding a wound on the back of his neck that looked like the tip of a knife: "I understand, Wu Wen used the lost 'Chasing Blood and Finding Ancestors', that kind of secret method is within a certain range, and it can be traced to the location of other people's ancestors through bloodline." This is a tomb robbery!"
When Shi Jinglong looked at me again, the light in his eyes had become flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said to Xiao Tang in a deep voice: "You don't want to disturb Wu Wen, it's your business." However, you have to think about it, in case Chen Shaoyuan is dead when Wu Wen wakes up, how can you explain to Wu Wen?"
Xiao Tang sneered: "If you want to explain, you will also explain, the agreement between you and Wu Wen is that you will keep Lao Chen from dying, not me from keeping Lao Chen from dying." I also advise you to think about it, in case Lao Chen dies, the person buried on this mountain may not be your ancestor, but you. ”
Shi Jinglong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and a cold wind whistled from the mouth of the cave, and the bonfire in the cave suddenly shifted half a foot under the wind, and the flames burned straight to my forehead.
Xiao Tang couldn't be rescued, and a few strands of hair exposed outside my bandana were brought to the fire, and even my forehead was burned black, Xiao Tang and they saw the blisters bulging from my forehead, Shi Jinglong quickly grabbed two spirit runes, pointed to the outside of the cave and shouted, "Outside...... There's a ghost coming outside. ”
When Xiao Tang and Zhang Yanxin turned around at the same time, there was already an extra figure wearing a shroud outside the cave, the other party was wearing a small foot with pointed cloth shoes, and the toes were on the snow but there was no footprint, except for ghosts, no master could do this.
