Chapter 572 Under the Sand
The thought of a dried corpse crawling out of my back had just flashed through my mind, and the five fingers that the other party had clasped on my head began to slowly retract. Lines of blood flowed down my cheeks as the sharp nails rattled across my scalp reached my ears.
I distinctly felt the other person's fingers pressing on top of my head, like five awls hanging upside down on my head, pressing down against my scalp.
I felt a chill in my heart as the tingling pain came from the top of my head, and I was sure that in the next moment, the claws of the other party would penetrate my skull and kill me instantly.
My eyes widened, but the palm of the other party's hand on my head suddenly retracted, and I obviously felt that the other party was hesitating something, otherwise, he would not have raised his hand in the air, and let the blood stained on his fingertips drip on my shoulder, but it did not fall.
Although the other party only hesitated for a moment, my heartbeat continued to intensify, and even I could hear my heart thumping in my cavity, but the other party slowly withdrew his palm and pushed the door away.
As soon as the man left, I felt like I had almost fallen to the ground with all my strength.
When Ye Xun reached out to help me up, I directly touched the top of my head - I hope that everything just now was all an illusion I generated. But I felt blood all over my hands.
The deep pit left by the dried corpse, the damp gravel, and the footprints covered with fine sand, lay out in front of my eyes in the slightest, and clearly told me that everything that had happened to me had nothing to do with hallucinations.
When I looked at Ye Xun, the latter shook his head with a blue face, and motioned to me: He doesn't know anything.
But I don't think he knows anything about what is in front of him.
I couldn't help but sigh and put a towel on my head to stop the bleeding, but the man leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and didn't say a word.
Ye Xun probably knew why I didn't want to speak, so he simply lit a cigarette and handed it to me: "Huanzi, I am indeed deliberately hiding a lot from you about the affairs of the master, and there are some things that you still know as little as possible." That's ...... for you."
"It's not good for me, is it?" I looked at Ye Xun and said, "Do you think I'm a person who is afraid of death?"
"I know, you're not afraid of death. However, I don't want you to die!" Ye Xun picked up the wine jug and poured it hard: "Just like you don't want me to die either." ”
I looked at Ye Xun: "You didn't treat me as a brother?"
Ye Xun took another sip of wine: "It's because I treat you as a brother that I don't want to tell you too much." The more people know about some things, the more people will help you share your troubles. ”
Ye Xun said: "Ye Xun is my own name, because I have been looking for an answer to one thing. Perhaps, I will not be able to find it in my life, and perhaps, that answer will appear in front of me one day. ”
"Actually, I've always been conflicted. I hope that one day there will be a person, whether he is a man or a woman, whether we are lovers or brothers, who can accompany me to find that answer, and I am willing to live and die with him. ”
"That man appeared, and I knew that as long as I opened my mouth, he would accompany me to heaven and hell. However, he also has his life and his rivers and lakes. A lot of people are waiting for him, a lot of people need him. ”
"I knew he would give up everything for me. But it was unfair to him, and to those who needed him. So, there are some things that I can't say. You can only find clues on your own. ”
I looked at Ye Xun: "Have you found a clue?"
"No!" Ye Xun shook his head and said, "If I had found a clue, I would have left alone." I always felt that the clues I wanted might be hidden in a forbidden area, and sooner or later, fate would push me into that forbidden area. Push in front of the clue. ”
I believe Ye Xun's words, since I know him, he has been looking for something with a purpose but no goal.
When I just wanted to speak, I saw Tao Xiyu gently holding Ye Xun's hand. I quickly pretended to wipe the blood and moved my eyes to the side, and when I looked back at Ye Xun again, Tao Xiyu had already retracted his hand.
I coughed dryly and said, "What the hell was going on?"
"I don't know!" Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "I feel that something like a force field has appeared near us, forcibly suppressing our ability to move. You don't think that it's not that we can't exert our strength, but we can't break free from the confinement around us. ”
"Silk—" I couldn't help but gasp, "You seem to be right, I did feel that way at the time." ”
Ye Xun said very seriously: "This is probably the reason why my master said that Tianshakou is a cemetery of gods and demons. People can't raise their heads in front of gods and demons, even if they are dead. ”
I was shocked, "But I saw a dried corpse just now." ”
Ye Xun asked me rhetorically, "Have you seen the face of the dried corpse clearly?"
"I didn't see ......it clearly" I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, I just saw the other party's feet, so I directly regarded him as a dry corpse. I really didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.
Ye Xun said softly: "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw the other party's shadow clearly, it was not a human figure." ”
For the first time, I saw Ye Xun's face turn pale: "What shadow did you see?"
Ye Xun said: "I can't describe it, in short, it's definitely not what a person looks like." ”
I couldn't help but look back at the sand pit in the house, the sand was several times more fluid than the earth, even more than a dozen times, and the sand pit was already half buried at this time, even if I dug it up again, I didn't want to see the original shape.
I subconsciously said to myself, "Why didn't that dried corpse kill us just now?"
Ye Xun and Tao Xiyu didn't speak, and no one could give an answer.
After coming over for a while, Tao Xiyu said: "Wang Huan, if you meet with the Divine Explorer tomorrow, I hope you will cooperate with them as much as possible." The reason why the Divine Explorers were able to suppress the Demon Sect and the Ghostless Sect was that they had the greatest information resources in their hands. The information base of the Detective Hand is all-encompassing, and there are many secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Perhaps, they are secrets about Tianshakou. ”
"Uh-huh......" I vaguely agreed, but my heart was already in a mess.
Tao Xiyu's inadvertent "all-encompassing" reminded me of the "Vientiane Sutra" again.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan was wiped out because of the "Vientiane Sutra", my dad asked me to hand over the "Vientiane Sutra" to save my life, "Vientiane Sutra" must be hiding some secrets, at least, there are some clear clues in it.
As I was desperately recalling the Vientiane Sutra, the sky was getting brighter, and the people who were exploring the hands of the gods appeared in the streets one after another.
The time for me and Bai Yan to agree has arrived, but he arrived in the open space at the entrance of the town one step ahead of me, and the other party sat in front of the table where I threw half a copper coin, and made a "please" gesture to me.
As soon as I was about to sit down, I heard Juefa shouting angrily: "Wang Huan, did you shoot outside last night, and where did you get our brother who was guarding outside?"
I calmly raised my head and said, "Which of you is in charge, should I talk to Bai Yan or Juefa?"
Bai Yan looked at Juefa with a cold face, and the latter's face suddenly changed, and he retreated to the side. I looked at Juefa and said, "Are you Juefa? The demon monk Juefa, who ranks first on the God Exploration List, is this kind of goods." ”
"You ......," Juefa was so angry that his face was distorted, but he couldn't say a word.
I always have a feeling that the real demon monk is not the enlightenment method in front of me, but the demon monk must be nearby.
Bai Yan coughed dryly and said, "Brother Wang asked me to meet just to discuss the identity of Juefa? If that's the case, there's no need, I can be sure who he is." ”
I smiled and said, "I came to you to talk about cooperation." The Immortal Demon Tomb under Tianshakou, I want half of it!"
Bai Yan's eyes suddenly froze, and after a long while, he said, "I don't understand what you say about the Immortal Demon Tomb." ”
I said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about, or follow the old rules and take over Tianshakou for an hour." However, I would like to warn you that it is best not to play any more tricks with me about the wrong time. I can't guarantee that when I'm not in Tianshakou, something will fall from the sky. ”
After I finished speaking, I didn't care what Bai Yan's reaction was, I got up and walked out.
Before I reached the gate of the stockade, I heard Bai Yan say behind me: "I haven't seen any immortals and demons in the sky." ”
"The yellow sand sinks and changes the clouds. I replied casually and walked forward again, but Bai Yan suddenly got up and said, "Brother Wang, may I ask Brother Wang, where did you see the phrase 'yellow sand sinks and changes the sky'?"
"Nine-Tails Forbidden Zone!" When I turned to look at Bai Yan with a smile, the latter hesitated for a moment before reaching out and said, "Brother Wang, please take a seat." ”
"Wait a minute!" Juefa suddenly spoke: "Bai Yan, Wang Huan's purpose in going deep into the desert is obviously to find the witch Si Ruo. What is looking for the Immortal Demon Cemetery, it is simply a lie to us. ”
Bai Yan waved his hand lightly and said: "I asked Brother Wang to stay, just to discuss, the ownership of the Dingtian Compass? I can let Brother Wang use the compass first, but the secret of the forbidden land, I want seventy percent." ”
I said with a smile: "Commander Bai has made a good calculation. In normal times, I would definitely not agree. However, I don't have time to bargain with you right now, and I'm going to make a decision. Sancheng secrets, I want to pick first. ”
"Deal!" Bai Yan stood up and raised his palm.
I got up and struck three palms across the table before Bai Yan spoke, "Now, shouldn't we communicate with each other?"
I knew that the time had come to really test me this time.
I don't know anything about Tianshakou, except for what I experienced yesterday, I didn't even find any clues, and even the sentence just now "Yellow sand sinks and changes the clouds" is something I made up temporarily, what do I use to exchange news with the other party?
However, if I don't say a word, or push back, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party, and if I make a wrong move, I will not only lose the whole game, but even fall into the control of the other party, because I can't let go of the boss.
Only by convincing the other party that I have the greatest resources in my hands can I contain the detective hand.
