Origin Chapter 53 Finding Water
Ren Ji woke up, slowly got up from the ground, scattering the thin sand accumulated on his back, and then through the blue light that came from nowhere, he used his small hands to remove the surrounding sand and dust, and understood the source of the warmth under him, which was Tana's body.
Ren Ji carefully brushed away the yellow sand on Tana's body, and he looked at Tana's severed arm that was stained with fine sand and no longer bleeding, and vaguely guessed something.
He crouched down, approached Tana, and whispered, as he had called out to his mother under the walls that day, and said, "Uncle Tana, Uncle Tana..."
Hearing these shouts, Tana's fingers moved lightly twice, but he still closed his eyes, and spat out the words with breath in his mouth, "Water... water..."
Ren Ji was relatively close, and even though Tana's voice was extremely weak, he could still hear Tana's water words in Western Wilderness.
Seeing that Tana seemed to be alive, the sense of fear subsided a little, and he stopped talking, and he began to observe his surroundings with fear, just like Yu Hao had taught him.
Statues stand solemnly on a long and narrow road, these statues are all snakes, the fan-like triangular snake head and two vertical hideous fangs, even if Ren Ji has not seen this snake, he also understands that this is the cobra that his mother Mia told him, and the blue light that Ren Ji borrowed just now is the blue fire in the snake's mouth.
The corridor is long and narrow and dim, and the seclusion of the blue fire adds a bit of weirdness to this place, as if in a place where the blue light can't shine, there are terrifying things that peek at the creatures under the blue fire all the time.
Ren Ji looked up and saw the piston door panel still flowing with fine sand at the top of the road, for fear that the door panel would be opened again and bury Tana alive, so he dragged Tana to the nearest serpentine stone carving, approached Tana's ear, and said, "Uncle Tana, Ren Ji went to find water, you are here to rest." ”
Tana ignored Ren Ji, and even the sound of breath in his mouth dissipated, if Ren Ji hadn't put his hand under his nose and knew that he was still angry, Ren Ji would have thought that Tana was dead.
Ren Ji didn't actually know where the water was, but he knew that Tana would die if he didn't drink it, and Tana saved his life, so he had to look for water anyway.
Ren Ji is not very smart, he can only use the dim firelight, after identifying a direction of Yongdao, he walks through one piece of darkness after another.
Maybe there was no water in this direction, maybe Tana was dead by the time he returned, but Ren Ji remembered what his mother told him: "People should not give up hope at any time, even if they create a vain illusion, it is better than negative response, 'suddenly' will always watch, maybe there will be a miracle." ”
At the end of this road is a cross road, Ren Ji will take off the coat that Hao bought for him, and put it at the fork to prevent him from getting lost, after all, the roads in this place are similar, and it is easy to get lost.
This place seems to be a labyrinth, with many forks, and without a while, Ren Ji only has the only remaining fig leaf on his body except for a silk cloth in his hand.
Ren Ji stopped, looked at the intersection that appeared again in front of him, hesitated, and finally took the fabric away and put it at the fork in the road, thinking: "If there is no water on this road, go back the same way and find another way." ”
But who would have thought that he would turn to the chosen crossing, and a voice came from the straight crossing: "Is there anyone, if there is one, answer me." ”
Although the voice was small, it reverberated in the corridor and seemed very large, but the meaning of weakness in it was extremely obvious, but the superposition of the two, coupled with the dark blue flame and the dark atmosphere of the corridor, made Ren Ji can't help but think of the monster that once ate the brains of children in Renfu, Chang'an, a maid once said that they would eat the brains of children.
Ren Ji struck a spirit violently, and his breathing immediately became heavier, and the sound of wheezing was transmitted far away under the effect of Yongdao.
Ren Ji didn't answer, but stared at the opposite side for a long time, hesitated for a moment and then stood on tiptoe and walked over slowly, although he was very scared in his heart, curiosity and hope drove him forward.
After a while, Ren Ji stopped again and quickly hid behind a statue, because he saw a black shadow through the dim blue firelight, and the black shadow was sitting on the ground, with his back against the wall, and seemed to be looking towards Ren Ji as well.
"Hehehe, it turned out to be you, what, is the 'Blood Snake' dead?" the black shadow breathed a sigh of relief, and actually laughed out loud, but the laughter was a little desolate.
The black shadow was the masked man who had been knocked headlong by Tana and vomited blood, but now his mask had long been removed, revealing a miserable white face to reflect the blue light, which was extremely terrifying.
Ren Ji was frightened by the ghost-like person, and he said timidly: "You... You.. What is the thing that you.. How do you know I'm here? ”
The man in black snorted and said, "What's it, people, isn't it still a ghost, if you don't want to be discovered by others, little guy, don't pant so loudly." ”
When Ren Ji heard this, he immediately realized that his wheezing voice was indeed very obvious, and when he saw that he was a human being on the other side, he was not so afraid, and his words were not trembling: "Do you know where there is water?"
The man in black said, "What, if you want to drink water, I have it, you come here." ”
Ren Ji hesitated: "Can you not go over?"
The man in black said indifferently: "Okay, but you don't have to take the water." ”
Ren Ji hesitated, but still came out from behind the statue and walked towards the man in black step by step, but when he arrived in front of the man in black, the man in black was a little stunned, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
In fact, the man in black didn't see Ren Ji's appearance clearly just now, but he only noticed the height of the person through the dim light, so he judged that it was Ren Ji, but now he saw Ren Ji naked, and there was a small thing dangling on his body, which was somewhat unexpected to him.
The man in black was in a cold sweat all over his body, raised his head with difficulty, looked at Ren Ji with tired eyes, and said, "Why don't you wear clothes, what if you encounter insects and snakes." ”
Perhaps it was more scary to look at the man in black up close, Ren Ji slightly tightened the silk silk in his hand, and said nervously: "I... I was afraid of getting lost, so I left my clothes on the road as a marker. ”
When the man in black heard this, he laughed and said, "It's a stupid boy, why don't you tear your clothes and hang them on the sculpture, you have to take them off." ”
Ren Ji replied: "I'm not a stupid boy, Ren Ji just doesn't want to damage the clothes that my brother bought, and my brother is very distressed about money." ”
"What a silly boy. Boy, let me tell you, it's okay if you want me to give you water, but you have to promise me two things, see if it's okay. After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly took out an extra bag of water in front of him, and followed the temptation.
When Ren Ji heard that there were conditions, he immediately looked at the man in front of him carefully.
Seeing the double hook beside the man, as well as his black clothes, even if Ren Ji was not smart, he knew that the person in front of him was one of the men in black last night, even if his voice had changed.
Ren Ji leaked vigilance and said, "You wanted to kill me last night, you are a bad person, why should I promise you." ”
"It seems that you haven't been stupid enough to get home, so I'll ask you, can you find water?" the man smiled contemptuously.
Ren Ji was speechless, this question made him think for a lot of time, which made the man in black a little impatient, and said, "I want to think about it for a long time." ”
Ren Ji asked tentatively: "You talk about the conditions first, if it is a bad thing, I will not agree." ”
The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "Hey, okay, I'll tell you this stupid boy first, just... Ahem.. I'm afraid your brain can't play any tricks, ah, cough, cough..."
For a while, the man in black's expression was distorted, his mouth kept coughing, and the cold sweat was also falling down, and he swallowed back what was about to spit out in his mouth.
When the situation stabilized a little, he gasped and said, "Huhahahaha, I... I want to see the 'Mirror Under the Moon'. ”
Ren Ji took two steps back, and pinched the silk cloth in his hand a lot tighter, Tana had already told him what the "Mirror Under the Moon" was, and now the man in front of him, who didn't look like a good person, wanted to see the silver chain, of course he was unwilling.
Seeing Ren Ji's reaction, the man in black said: "If I could kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, I am already a dying person, what are you afraid of." I have studied one of the patterns all my life, and I have long heard that the two major god chains in the Western Wilderness have natural patterns, so I want to see it, and I can be regarded as dead without regrets. ”
Seeing that Ren Ji couldn't come over, the man in black said, "This... Water.. I don't want it anymore. ”
Ren Ji carefully looked at the black-clothed man in front of him, and found that a pale white eastern eyelid drooped, and it was difficult to even lift it, and then looked at the water on the ground, and said, "Then you are not allowed to rob it, I will show it to you with my hand." ”
The man in black nodded, he stopped talking, his mouth tightened, his body trembled, and he looked at Ren Ji's eyes full of pleading.
Ren Ji hurriedly took out the silver chain from the silk silk, held it in his hand, and quickly ran to the man in black, bringing the "Heavenly Mirror Under the Moon" to his eyes.
The man looked at the unusually beautiful pattern on the chain and tried to raise his hand, but several efforts were in vain, because his strength had already been used up.
The man smiled helplessly and said, "Okay... Good... Good... Take off the ring from my hand, and if you... Phew... Phew..."
The man gasped for a while, then continued: "If you go to Dongsheng in the future, remember to hand over the ring, the most..."
Before the words were finished, a lot of blood came out of the man's mouth, but he was still telling, as for what to say, on the one hand, because the blood made the man's words vague, on the other hand, Ren Ji was very scared, and in the end, Ren Ji only understood that if he handed over the ring to one person, he could get a rich reward, the least critical sentence, and a word "most" that seemed to be useless.
"Jingle bells. ”
The man's sitting body fell on his side, knocking down several empty pill bottles beside him, blood gushing out of his mouth, reflecting the blue light in an eerie black.
Ren Ji was stunned, looking at the blood stains that spread to his bare feet, he quickly retreated, his expression was full of horror, and his breathing became heavy again, this scene reminded him of the scenes of swords and blood in the cold winter last year.
The man's body twitched for a moment, and then he stopped moving, although Ren Ji was afraid, he didn't run, but stood in place for a while, because he had seen this scene before, and now he was just a little overwhelmed because of fear.
After a long time, Ren Ji gasped and slowly stepped forward, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Who did you just tell me?"
The man in black didn't answer, he didn't know that the man had used the last trace of aura that had hung his life just now to take the water bag, and now the man was dead, dead in this underground labyrinth.
Ren Ji picked up the water bag and panted like a cow, and he finally approached the man's body,
Avoiding the blood and probing the man's snort, Ren Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and seemed to have a little more worry, he carefully took off the two rings on the man's hand, quickly left the corridor, and then ran all the way to the corridor where Tana was while getting dressed.
Ren Ji silently said in his heart: "Uncle Tana, Ren Ji has got water." ”
But when I got to the place where Tana was, there was only yellow sand leaking from under the door panel, but Tana under the statue disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.
