Chapter 140: The Shadowless Man 18
readx;? In the gloomy and cold air like a cellar, the current light is all dependent on a torch that Gu Xi had inserted on the ground before, and there is a torch lit by a fire monkey, and the torch on the wall on the left hand side, I did not take it before, and the torch is about to burn out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Natured Novel ww
Baocai looked at the surrounding environment worriedly, and suddenly, he swallowed heavily, put his shoulder against my arm, and said timidly: "Male...... Childe ......"
When he can't straighten his tongue, there are often something bad and frightening, and my heart tightens with his stammering tone, and I carefully asks, "What's wrong, the words are not clear again......"
Bao Cai said quietly: "No, this thing is too weird, look at it...... The shadow of the torch on the wall on the right ......"
He said incoherently, I frowned, and looked at the earthen wall on the right, I didn't feel anything, but Baocai just asked me to pay attention to the shadow, I stared at it for a while, exhaled a tight breath, and then my whole body began to chill, my eyes widened, I lowered my head, looked at Gu Xi and Bajian who were swimming towards me, and said incredulously in my mouth: "What...... How is that possible?"
Bao Cai wondered with a frightened tone, and said, "That's it...... How could it be ......"
Obviously, there were two people swimming over, but there was only one person's shadow on the earthen wall! I couldn't react, I rubbed my eyes in a daze, I was afraid that I was mistaken, but yes, just the shadow of a person, at this angle, the firelight on the left hand side and the shore hit the figure on the right earthen wall, Gu Xi and Bajian swam to the middle of the middle section below us, Bajian's shadow can't be said very clearly, but there is, but the old man Gu didn't ......
My brain was buzzing, how could this be? How could people have no shadows? Only ghosts have no shadows? The more I thought about it, the colder it became, and then I tried my best to comfort myself: "No, if it were a ghost, Old Man Gu would not bleed, and he would still show signs of tiredness...... No...... "It's just that the more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more I think about it, the more scared I feel."
At this moment, Bao Cai's thinking was clear, and he analyzed to himself: "This old man Gu, when did he start to become a ghost? Was it in the puddle, when did I save him? God, then I stayed with a ghost for so long...... " He said in horror, then shook his head again, and kept denying himself: "No...... Wrong...... He was wounded every time, almost all of them fatal, and probably died earlier...... It's not right, if it's a ghost, the half-immortal can't feel it, we and the half-immortal are scattered in different mechanisms in the mural corridor, and the old man Gu must have died in the cave...... Alas...... Ghostly, look at him, his whole body is shrouded in a black gas. Bao Cai shuddered violently when he said to himself.
Although the black gas he described was a bit exaggerated, but watching Gu Xi swim closer and closer with Bajian, I had a strange feeling in my heart, not that I was afraid, but a mess, a mess, I subconsciously looked at the wall on the right wall, there was still no shadow......
Could it be ...... Is he really a ghost? What about his corpse? I looked at the pile of corpses not far away, and the place where he was placed before, there was no body of him, could it have become a mud corpse? This is a pool of yin, the corpse is left in the water, and the ghost comes out? Thinking about it, suddenly, I thought of something, I turned my eyes to the millipedes that were curled up on the ground and turned into small dots, which had fallen on the body of the old man Gu before, and had been burrowing into his flesh.
Millipedes like the environment of the rotting tide, and at that time I wondered why the human blood was warm, and it also ran into the human flesh of the old man Gu, and now when I think about it, the body of the old man Gu is indeed a little strange, and his blood is ...... Warm Blood ...... It should be cold.
Only the blood of the dead is cold, so perhaps the old man was already dead when the mural passage fell......
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he kept reciting some Taoist spells, and also took out the heavenly eyeballs that the ancestors gave him to ward off evil spirits, thinking that he wanted to ward off evil spirits.
Although I was also a little afraid, I couldn't tell if the old man Gu was a human or a ghost, and I had a lot of respect for him in my heart, so I asked Baocai to put away the heavenly eyeballs, saying that now the old man has become a ghost and knows how to save Bajian, if it is a ghost, it is also a righteous ghost.
Baocai was a little hesitant, but his good impression of Old Man Gu was also increasing, so he still put away his heavenly eyes and asked me in wonder, "Is it really dead?" You said that this Old Man Gu is so tough, is it really a ghost now?"
When Bao Cai said this, my heart twitched, just now I thought that he and Ba Jian were dead, and my heart was suffocated, but now Bao Cai's problem has magnified death. At this moment, my emotions are very complicated, on the one hand, looking at Gu Xi's familiar face, desperately trying to deny the fact that he is dead, and on the other hand, I am also a little afraid of his current identity.
It's just that now, no matter what, Hachi is still alive, Guxi is saving him, they are still in danger, and it is impossible for us to ask him some questions that he may not be aware of in such a situation.
For a moment when Baocai and I were in shock, Gu Xi and Bajian had already arrived at the bottom of the cave, and Baocai shrank back, obviously still afraid. Gu Xi didn't notice the suspicion of me and Baocai, he turned around and glanced at the clay figure that was stirring up again, and whispered to us: "I ask him to come up, one of you answers, and the other climbs away, don't block the road." ”
Baocai couldn't stay for a long time, and when he heard Gu Xi's words, he immediately retreated backwards, leaving a vacant seat, Gu Xi saw him retreat, plunged into the water, and lifted Bajian up, and this support, the blood from his wound opened in the puddle again, one by one.
When a person dies and becomes a ghost, will he still bleed? The little Taoist priest once said that a ghost will keep the same as before he died......
Seeing the blood, my thoughts were diverted again, and I was stunned to think, Gu Xi urged hard: "Hurry up and answer him." ”
He shouted softly, I suddenly came back to my senses, and panicked to grab Bajian's outstretched hand, Bajian had been soaked in water for a long time at this time, his body was very heavy, he was struggling to climb on his own, I became his grip point, and his hand was about to be dragged down.
However, they have the belief in surviving and saving people in each other's hearts, so they both endure fatigue and hardship and support each other. After tossing for a while, Hachi borrowed my hand and finally climbed up and drilled into the hole, just because he ran out of strength, he didn't choose the position to pick the air at all, but directly pressed on my body, making my sore ribs and five organs worse, and pressed a mouthful of blood out alive.
Ba Jian gasped for a few breaths on me, and only after recovering his soul did he remember to turn his posture. He crawled up to me, saw that there was blood oozing from my mouth, and asked me unknowingly, "Son, are you...... Why are you vomiting blood?"
I wanted to cry without tears, so I struggled to say, "You are as heavy as a dead pig, just ...... The bones are ...... fast I'm going to be crushed by you!"
Bajian reacted and smiled embarrassedly, I sighed back and asked him why he didn't retreat first with Baocai, and he said, "Just now...... I was caught by a couple of mud corpses...... This old man saved me, when he went into the muddy water, he also fought for his life, I was afraid that the old man would be seriously injured, and he would not be able to come up with the pit I dug, and you can't drag him in this situation now, so it is better to drag the two of them together. ”
Listening to what Bajian said, I nodded. He and I are both exhausted people now, and if Old Man Gu drags me up like Bajian just now, my painful arm is estimated to be out of touch, and it is good for the two of them to disperse a little strength.
It's just that the situation has changed, now it's not a matter of not being able to drag it up, but a matter of getting out, when Gu Xi came up with Bajian just now, he obviously stepped on the mud, and the muddy water began to wake up again, it urged the mud corpse to come this way, and the black pressure on a corpse made a heart-shaking sound, just behind Gu Xi, a distance of about two meters at most.
