Chapter 40: The Dead

"Feng Gongzi?" The Miao witch saw that I was injured, and hurriedly supported me, I smiled at her, and said with difficulty: "Next time this kind of blocking arrows, you women don't interfere!"

Listening to my words, the Miao witch was stunned for a moment, she looked at me blankly, this ancient girl's emotional intelligence is not high, and she does things straightforwardly, what she thinks in her heart, how to do it, and she doesn't understand the meaning of my words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I looked at her confused look and smiled bitterly in my heart, in fact, I am very grateful for what she has done, but no matter what the circumstances, I don't want a woman to suffer for me.

The arrow hit me in the shoulder, and it hurt to drill my heart, and I gritted my teeth, and thought to myself: I have come to ancient times, and the current situation is very unfavorable to us, and from the ability of the strange man on the suspension bridge, it is not difficult for him to shoot me with an arrow, maybe things are just as Baocai had speculated before, he does not want us to die well.

Seeing this, the witch quickly cut off the strip of cloth with a dagger to stop the bleeding, and I carefully looked at the strange people who stood on both sides, so that we could jump into the netherworld and the backwaters, and it was not easy for us to jump into the netherworld backwaters, as long as we showed the slightest sign of escape, it was estimated that the strange man with the crossbow arrows behind us would shoot us.

Just as we were facing each other, Bao Cai trembled his fingers, pointed to the cave behind the Gu Worm King, and said in a panic, "Inside...... Something is crawling out there!"

I followed the direction of the treasure point, above the entrance of the cave we ran out, I saw a cave that could accommodate two people, the cave was dark and secluded, and I could vaguely see a dark shadow moving outward, my heart sank, at this time there was another strange person, it was very unfavorable for us, the treasure trembled, folded his hands, and began to ask the Bodhisattva and the gods to bless him, I swallowed my spit, waiting for the true face of the thing to surface.

Just as the scalp of the black shadow loomed, the king of Gu worms at the mouth of the cave got up from the ground, and a sly smile climbed on the corner of his mouth (I thought to myself that this girl would not die after being poisoned by the cold, and she really had a body that was not bad). Seeing him staring at us mysteriously, his eyes revealing a terrifying malice, my body instantly crept up with an ominous premonition.

I saw that the person who appeared at the entrance of the cave was covered with loose hair covering his cheeks, and his hair was covered with dried blood, and my heart was pounding, and the person was crawling in a strange position, like the picture that Sadako appeared on TV.

When I reached the entrance of the cave, he slowly bent down in a crouching position, and the moment he looked up, I finally saw his face clearly.

"Liang Jiu!" I exclaimed, and at this moment, Bao Cai reacted the same way as me.

In an instant, countless emotions surged in my heart, excited, happy, but more than that, it was terrifying...... I looked at Liang Jiu, he and Chu Ba are both buddies with straight intestines, during the time they get along, they speak arrogantly, and they are interesting enough to treat people, and when they see us, they don't react at all, and we are not far away, I smell a smell from his position, and the smell is a little strange.

However, at this time, he won't think so much, he is naturally happy to see his acquaintances, Baocai stabilized his uneasy mood, stiffly smiled, and shouted: "Ninth Master, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

What Baocai asked was exactly what I was eager to know, but it was very strange that Liang Jiu looked at us with a dull look in his eyes, and still didn't react at all.

Sensing that something was wrong, I tentatively called him: "Ninth Master?"

In an instant, in my call, I saw a slight reaction in Liang Jiu Mune's eyes, but the reaction was fleeting, I really don't understand, why Liang Jiu shouldn't be me and Baocai at this time, you must know that in touching the Golden Gate, he is as ruthless as Chu Ba, but where does he still have a little spirit and majesty at the moment?

Baocai also seemed to feel something wrong, he retreated to my side, and whispered: "Son, I think something is wrong with the Ninth Master, do you think he has fallen into some evil?"

I looked at Liang Jiu, who was covered in blood, and said to Baocai: "It's possible, Jiu Ye's body is relatively strong, but you look at his muscles now, a little atrophied, and the strangest thing is his eyes, that sharp energy is gone." ”

"yes, it's just that the momentum is gone. "When Bao Cai was talking, Liang Jiu suddenly jumped down from the cave, this hole is as high as a door, when the King of Gu Worms sneaked down, there was no movement, but Liang Jiu was not, according to his skills on weekdays, there would definitely not be such a loud sound of landing.

Seeing him staggering towards us, I unconsciously took a step back, and the treasure shrank in fright, and at this time the Miao witch was staring at the strange man on the suspension bridge, afraid that he would release a cold arrow again. I told her that this was not right, that it was not advisable to stay here for long, and that she was ready to go into the water at any time, and she nodded.

Just when I was thinking about how to get out quickly, my eyes met those stone caves, those stone caves were like a huge insect body, which was bitten out of holes by small insects, and the existence of these holes did not seem to be accidental, and soon a possibility came out of my mind, and I seemed to understand something in an instant.

The strange man in front of me crawled out of it, which means that the large and small caves here may be open, and they may be connected to the front room of the ancient tomb where we just been, the bronze west room...... So, that is to say, the gasps that the little Taoist priest and I heard may be due to these gloomy weirdos.

Thinking of this, my mind froze, and suddenly remembered the blood in the bronze room, I looked at Liang Jiu, if I guessed correctly, the blood should be my own person, and my ancestor, the eighth ...... Something may have happened.

In an instant, my brain exploded, staring at the strange person in front of me in a daze, everything, the mystery of Wang Yu's corpse, the door of the west room that was opened, it was all done by these people, they led us into the abyss of death, and just now, I watched Chen Yu disappear in front of me.

"****!" all the anger condensed at this time, and after thinking about something, a bloody surge of resentment surged in my body, and I quickly pulled the Mongolian knife from the treasure and aimed it at the head of the king of Gu worms. Baocai was startled by me, and shouted my name in a panic behind him, and at this stall, Liang Jiu, who made me feel frightened, suddenly appeared in front of me, pushed me away, and then a strong wind passed by my ears, I fell to the ground, and when I looked up, Liang Jiu was hit by an arrow in the chest, and I silently looked at him who was mighty in front of me, very confused.

"Ninth Master!" reacted, I screamed, got up from the ground in a panic, Liang Jiu looked at me, smiled faintly, squeezed out the voice from his throat, and said, "Xiaoliuzi...... Don't touch my ......"

In this situation, where can I listen to him, I was about to step forward, but he stretched out his hand to stop me, shook his head bitterly and said, "I can't do it anymore...... ...... for me Give me a scoop for me...... Speak up...... Nine...... It's time to go first......" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, his eyes suddenly flickered, and in that moment, I saw his back, which had been blurred by something, and partially exposed the bones that were glued to the flesh.

At that moment, my scalp was numb, and the Miao witch and treasure also exclaimed, and among them, there were faint red worm eggs, which were sandwiched in Liang Jiu's flesh, and the clumps were very disgusting, and behold, some of those eggs had broken out, and some of the larvae were wriggling in his body at this time, they were like fat maggots, disgusting.

I muttered incredibly, you must know that human internal organs are very sensitive, as long as the slightest movement, it can hurt to death, not to mention so many insects writhing in it.

Looking at Liang Jiu's appearance, I suddenly remembered what happened to my grandfather when I was a child.

It is said that at a very early age, my grandfather went to Yunnan to do business, and at that time he was accompanied by a merchant who was engaged in the tea business, and the businessman studied abroad in his early years and thought of a new school (that is, a materialist later).

Grandpa said that this man had a temper like a furnace and a high temperament, and he offended a local old witch during the time of doing business. That old witch made a living by making Gu and hemandron arts, and he was considered a black witch in the local area, and he was very vicious.

My grandfather was a man who had seen all kinds of strange things, so when he saw this evil old witch, he hid far away, and advised the tea merchant, telling him not to offend the local lord, otherwise he would not know how to die. But the merchant did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted on breaking the merits of other people, demolishing other people's platforms, and finally the old witch gave him a trick, and the merchant was offended alive.

According to my grandfather's description, when my grandfather saw the merchant die, turned into a dried corpse like tree bark, he wanted to burn it and bring his ashes back to Hangzhou, but when he was about to be cremated, his grandfather found that the merchant's stomach was bulging, he realized that there was a mystery in it, so he asked a local puppet to conduct an autopsy on it, this look, disgusting my grandfather for a long time, he said that the merchant's belly, there are a lot of insect eggs, the red eggs are put together, like a large caviar, and somewhere in the caviar, are white and red soft worms, they suck the merchant's essence and blood。

At that time, my grandfather was glad that he did not burn the merchant into ashes and bring it back to Hangzhou, because according to the locals, this technique is very cruel, and you have to be merciful and cremate him, or bury him, and you will have to fall into this spell, and if you don't do it, you will have to disturb the future generations of your descendants.

Right now, seeing this kind of thing with my own eyes, the shock in my heart is too great, and I can't stop retching. Looking at the suffering Liang Jiu, I admired and felt sad in my heart, because I could save my will in this situation and not be destroyed, what a spiritual idea that transcended ordinary people. At this moment, I understood why touching the Golden Gate could become a myth in the inverted Dou world, it turned out that under the hands of the old ancestor, there was such a god. It's just that this kind of powerful horn has become like this, all of a sudden, I am full of emotion, it is difficult to accept, just imagine that the strange man grabbed us and put this kind of evil in our body, then I would rather die, a hundred, save yourself from suffering alive.

And Liang Jiu used his last unpolluted spiritual power to imprison the so-called King of Gu Worms with his mutilated body, the King of Gu Worms was originally difficult to deal with, but he probably didn't expect that his technique would fail, so he was very shocked.

"Little Liuzi, let......'s go," Liang Jiu urged, and then stretched out his bloody finger and suddenly inserted it into the eyes of the Gu Worm King, and in an instant the strange man opened his dark mouth, struggling, twisting. And at this moment, a purple-black centipede climbed up his neck along Liang Jiu's arm, it was a damn Qilin Gu! When Liang Jiu knew that his life was short, he looked at me, smiled slightly, and said sadly, "It's okay...... It's good that it's not controlled...... Otherwise it won't help you......"

His words made my heart flutter, and the purple-black centipede took the opportunity to burrow into his mouth as he opened his mouth to speak. I didn't dare to look at this kind of cruel picture, but listening to Liang Jiu's faint voice behind me, I knew that he was relieved.

I wiped away my tears, and in order to live up to his life-saving grace, I quickly grabbed the hands of the shrine maiden and the treasure treasure, and ran towards the dark backwater under the rock.
