Chapter 53: The Jade Pendant
The fire hissed and the fire came out of the cracks in the hut, and the smoke was so thick that I coughed a few times, lit the torch, and ran down the stairs, and the strange birds hovering in the sky saw the fire like a mouse meets a cat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
All the people who were struggling still retained the posture of a death match, they looked at the manic and panicked, the strange birds scattered on all sides, and then looked at me, and the flames behind them were like roaring beasts, stretching out countless hands, touching the darkness and bringing us light.
I smiled with relief when I saw the big guy escape, but the old ancestors stood there and looked at me with strange eyes. I put away my smile and thought, "What's wrong?" Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a heat behind my back, and I shouted, "Mom!"
Seeing this, the big guy ran over, Wang Bajian took off his clothes and kept throwing at my back, but unfortunately, he didn't have the skills to pounce, and the flames became bigger and bigger.
I was jumping wildly, and I had no choice but to roll on the spot in despair. The fire finally rolled out, but I wanted to cry without tears when I looked at my burnt and curly hair, which smelled of pig hair. Ben still felt that he had saved everyone, a little proud, but now I didn't expect the ending to be so embarrassing, and my clothes were burned into a big hole, like the backless outfit that has become popular in recent years.
I sighed as the hut was enveloped in fire, and it swayed and eventually collapsed, forming a huge campfire.
Above the reeds, strange birds hovered and did not really leave, and it is said that this bird is very vindictive and will make a comeback whenever it has the chance. We realized that they were waiting for the fire to be extinguished, so we didn't dare to linger longer and headed towards the forest.
When I ran, Wang Bajian made a crisp sound of "Boom Bell...... and I held the torch and asked, "Little Ba, what is hanging on your body?"
Wang Bajian said: "The human-faced jade pendant!"
I thought for a moment and wondered, "Was it picked up by the reeds?"
Wang Bajian said, "No, it's those black-clothed people who died just now!" he said casually, but the others frowned when they listened.
The old ancestor stopped and said, "That means that they are related to the corpse of the reeds, strange, that corpse has been dead for at least more than a year, what are they going to do here?"
The little Taoist priest said: "Also, since we arrived here, we haven't seen this group of people......
The Old Ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Little Heavenly Master means that they have been secretly following us?"
The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "There is only one explanation, they are hiding in the dark to spy on our movements, but they have no choice but to be discovered by the hairy ghost and arrested." ”
When the old ancestor heard this, he said: "In that case, thanks to these ugly birds, we have been able to clear the crisis!"
I listened embarrassed and complained: "These birds are the crisis!"
The little Taoist priest asked Wang Bajian to check the jade pendant, Wang Bajian is also very powerful, and he also deals with strange birds, he still has such leisure, picking up four or five strings of human-faced jade heads in the chaos.
The little Taoist priest shone the jade with a torch, he thought about it, suddenly thought of something, his body was stunned, and said, "I remember......! I saw ...... two years ago."
Listening to his slightly stunned tone, thinking that things were not simple, I asked him, "Where did you see it?"
The little Taoist priest raised his eyes to look at us and said, "Gu Xi...... Gu Xi!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked, not because this jade was strange to see on Gu Xi, but because it illustrated the fact that the old man, who was a little crazy and eager for treasure, might have been following us all along. When he left his house, he once asked the little Taoist: "Your master saw you before he died, so did he tell you the location of the treasure?"
He must have felt that the little Taoist priest knew where the treasure was, so he had been secretly following, and at this thought, I felt a chill all over, and my eyes swept over the darkness of the forest, and I suddenly felt that there was a person peeping at us.
The Kushi who had been behind us listened to all the words we said, intentionally or unintentionally, and he said coldly: "You have already entered the forest, you have lost a partner, the three Han mounts that ran in just now are all dead, if they encounter Brother Liu and the camel, they will definitely take it by force, and Brother Liu may die here at that time......
The reminder of the treasurer made me stiff at the moment, if there is no torch lighting in this environment, I can't see anything clearly, and I will be scared to death if I am alone.
Thinking about this, we listened to the movement around us, and it was quiet here, as if we had arrived at the burial place, and occasionally there were birds "croaking ......" a few times, flapping their wings to break the silence.
Behind us, Di listened to the movement around him, I didn't like his deep appearance before, but today, he saved us several times, so I have a slight change in my opinion of him, but for some reason, I feel that his steps are very heavy, as if he has something on his mind.
Lishana was close to the little Taoist, this day was probably the most thrilling day of her life, she told us that we were going to Loulan City to take the ancient road, this forest is generally rarely penetrated, so it can be said to be the wrong way, but in order to avoid the birds outside, we have no other way.
We walked deeper and deeper, as if we had entered a deep cave, a dead silence, without a trace of living human breath, "click...... Click......", the branch was stepped on and made a crisp sound, at this time, in this environment, to hear this sound, it makes people feel nervous.
After walking carefully for a while, Wang Bajian suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
When the atmosphere was solemn, this cry really startled me, and Bajian turned his gaze to our right front, only to see that the whole body was black, like an old demon tree staggered and staggered, and at the back end of it, there was half a shadow that looked like a human and inhuman.
The old ancestor took the torch from my hand and approached it lightly, only to see the things behind the tree shrink into a ball, trembling, and muttering something in his mouth.
The firelight was getting closer and closer to the shadow, it was frightened, screamed, and pounced, the old ancestor saw this, dodged and dodged, and Wang Bajian's vision behind him was blocked, and he was caught off guard by the shadow at the moment. The Shadow raised his knife viciously and stabbed Wang Bajian in the forehead.
"Ahh......h Don't kill me......" is usually the case for people who are extremely frightened.
The old ancestor looked at us in a little surprise, the fire shone on the face of the shadow cloak, and only the red blood stains on the back of his hair could be seen, and there were half-exposed frightened eyes, we looked down from above, and when we saw it clearly, we all gasped, judging from his voice and dress, he should be the head of the Black Mountain Army who escaped just now - Luo Cang.
I couldn't believe it, because before Luo Cang ran into the woods, he wasn't as depressed and crazy as he is now. I felt a faint sense of worry in my heart, because what he had encountered, maybe the treasure and the herd of camels.
At this moment, everyone hoped that he could control his emotions and calmly tell what had happened, but he was not normal now, and his speech was headless and brainless, which made people more and more uneasy.
My heart felt like someone was pinching, and I was very uncomfortable, and I prayed silently: "Master Bao, you must not have an accident!" (To be continued.) )
