213 Bloodthorn
People who haven't been to the countryside may not be able to relate to that feeling.
That kind of darkness is like what Qian Zhongshu described in the siege: The night is so dark that you can't see your fingers! In this kind of night, the ghost has to touch its nose and turn the corner, and the cat will hate itself for not being able to use its good beard as an insect tentacle.
In the middle of the night at the end of winter, the mountain breeze is howling.
There was a strange creaking sound from the dead grass and bare branches, and it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything.
The branches of the trees were constantly swayed by the mountain wind, and under the reflection of the faint moonlight, the shade of the trees reflected on the mountain wall seemed to be like a ghost with teeth and claws, and the ghost was crying wolf and asking for the life of passers-by.
Zhao Guifen, a crazy woman, was swaying on the mountain road in a wedding robe in the middle of the night, and if someone passed by, she happened to shine a flashlight on her......
Not to mention the little guy, it is estimated that even the determined adult will be frightened by Zhao Guifen to the point of losing his mind.
Chen Xi carefully observed the surroundings, but there was no trace of aura fluctuations around them.
This shows that Zhao Guifen was not cast a spell, but she herself dangled here in the middle of the night.
The brain circuits of madmen really can't be measured by common sense.
Chen Xi was very interested in Zhao Guifen's situation, so he quietly suspended in mid-air, wanting to see where Zhao Guifen was going to run without sleep in the middle of the night.
There is an abandoned coal mine on the hill next to Tongjiagou, and this dirt road that winds up the mountain was built by the coal boss for mining a few years ago, and can be used by a large truck to drive normally.
The coal mine has been abandoned for many years, and the mud road has been eroded by wind and rain due to disrepair.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the past few days, otherwise not to mention Zhao Guifen, a crazy woman, even normal villagers may fall down countless times when they go up the mountain.
Zhao Guifen's steps are very slow, so she also walks very steadily.
Like a snail, it slowly moved along the dirt road towards the mountain.
It was Chen Xi who was also able to monitor her, if someone else came, it was estimated that she would not be able to stand the boring waiting, and went back to the house to sleep.
Zhao Guifen set off at ten o'clock in the evening, and this walk took nearly four hours.
It wasn't until about two o'clock in the morning that she finally reached the abandoned coal mine in the mountains.
This is a small coal mine, different from the underground coal mine shown in the blind shaft, where there is no elevator, but a hole is cut in the mountain wall, and then the hole is driven all the way into it, which is called the Pingtong mine.
Compared with inclined shafts and vertical shafts, Pingtong development is the simplest in technology, the cheapest in economy, and the safest way to develop in relative terms.
However, this method of mining is only suitable for mountainous areas, so it is usually only found in small coal mines in the southwest.
The passage of the cave is an arc arch, and the inside of the cave is pitch black, and the faint moonlight does not shine into it at all.
I don't know what Zhao Guifen was thinking, after coming to the mine, she walked directly into the mine with such a swagger.
It's really horizontal and scared, and it's scared of dying.
Isn't this crazy woman the one who doesn't want to die?
Not to mention that it was still early in the morning, even at the peak of the sun at three o'clock in the afternoon, it is estimated that few people dared to go deep into this abandoned mine.
Zhao Guifen has gone crazy.
It's also a very strange thing for a madman to not sleep in the middle of the night, and to go up the mountain and get into this dark abandoned mine.
Chen Xi made up his mind today to get to the bottom of this matter, so after seeing Zhao Guifen enter the cave, he also flew into the dark hole.
As soon as I entered the cave, the temperature around me dropped by several degrees.
There was no light source in the cave at all, and as soon as Zhao Guifen entered the cave, her figure completely disappeared into the darkness.
Chen Xi snapped his fingers, and a ball of light glowing green flew out of his fingertips.
The ball of light flew to Zhao Guifen's head, illuminating the way ahead for her.
In this regard, Zhao Guifen did not react, but continued to walk forward on her own.
The Pingtong mine is flanked by sidewalks and in the middle by a minecart track.
Zhao Guifen walked all the way along the track, and after walking for more than ten minutes, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of her.
One to the left and one to the right.
However.
Zhao Guifen didn't pause at all, turned around and walked directly into the fork in the road on the right.
Therefore, it can be seen that this crazy woman has obviously been here a lot before, so she is very familiar with this place.
After walking for about forty minutes, Zhao Guifen finally came to the end.
She stood at the end of the passage for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on her withered old face.
As if he had seen something, Zhao Guifen hurried up to meet him.
"Son, Mommy came to see you......"
Zhao Guifen said as she squatted in front of the plant at the end of the mine.
It's a very strange scene.
In the mine, where there is no sunlight all day long, and it is extremely damp and gloomy, a plant actually appeared.
The stalk was erect, the plant was tall, about a meter tall, and looked like a reed, but the color was completely different.
The reed is also called the pampa.
The so-called leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.
The reeds are green in the spring and turn yellow in the fall.
It's late winter and early spring, everything hasn't recovered yet, and most of the plants outside are still withered, but this reed-like plant that grows in the deepest part of the mine is bright red throughout.
The red is gorgeous, and the degree of delicacy is even more colorful than the sea of poppies.
It's a very strange scene.
A madwoman in a wedding robe, like a kind mother, squatted on the ground, and then rubbed the red reed with her cheek.
The reed leaves gently brushed her face, but she was as warm and comfortable as her son's hand caressing his cheek.
Chen Xi stood silently behind Zhao Guifen.
When he saw this plant for the first time, he actually understood why Zhao Guifen went crazy.
Her madness is precisely because of the plant in front of her.
Although this plant looks like a reed, it is not a reed at all, but a harmful plant called Bloodthorn Grass by immortal cultivators.
Bloodthorn is also not a very common plant in the Tianxuan Realm, and the reason why it is called Bloodthorn is because this plant has a bright red body and can also emit a special fragrance to lure prey closer.
Once the prey gets close, it will be captured by its soul, so that it willingly lets it suck blood.
It was strange enough that the earth had plants that only existed in the Tianxuan Realm, but what made Chen Xi feel even more strange was ......
Bloodthorn is a clump of plants, but whenever it grows, it must be one by one, like a reed forming a reed.
But there was only one bloodthorn in front of him, and it was growing in such a remote and gloomy abandoned mine.
This question is a bit interesting......
