14. Purgatory
The wind is warm and the clouds are taking off. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After that desperate ice valley, it was as if they had arrived in another strange world. The heavy snow suddenly stopped raging, and when I looked back, the canyon where so many lives had been broken had disappeared. Only the grass in front of you is the same green color, green all over the field, or there is the sound of partridges chattering and chattering, flying from the top of Tingzhu, and the clear water in the distance can be seen.
None of them had ever seen such a beautiful and wonderful scenery, so that they were stunned for a while.
At this moment, ripples rippled from the center of the lake, and there was a hidden flying mist rolling on the water surface......
Ye Sheng and Jiang Wan reacted the most quickly, seeing that several people in the team seemed to be taken away by that scene, they slowly walked towards the water's edge, and unconsciously shouted: "Retreat!" ”
Only then did a few people suddenly come back to their senses and ran back like donkeys rolling. When I wanted to look back again, I felt a dull pain in my chest, and the mist inhaled into my lungs, flowing through the seven meridians and eight veins like life, instantly making my skin itchy and unbearable. The five people closest to the lake fell to the ground with their throats sharp, scratching their bodies, but even if they scratched all the skins, they still did not get any better, not only did not ease, but there was a growing trend.
Everyone retreated to the top of the mound, all frowning and looking at them.
After a while, the five people suddenly convulsed, their limbs suddenly weakened, as if they were pulled to the bone, and everyone did not see what was happening, only to hear a "poof", a body was suddenly wrapped in flames, and the terrifying sound of firewood bursting.
Someone wanted to save him, but was stopped by another person in time and persuaded: "Don't go, you will die if you touch him!" As soon as the words fell, they rang four times in a row, and several other people also got up together! In just a few moments, the five people who had just shouted had turned into piles of ashes, blown by the wind, and drifted away into the distance.
Ye Sheng glanced at the young man who had just spoken, although his appearance was extremely ordinary, but from the calmness that came out of his body, he could tell that this person was extraordinary, so he asked, "Does Your Excellency know anything about this fog?" ”
The young man turned his head to look at her, and was about to answer, but his arm was hugged by a woman with a beautiful face, and the woman smiled and said, "Of course, my brother is the best!" ”
Ye Sheng looked at them quietly, and saw that the young man withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and glanced at the dense Changting from afar, and his voice was clear: "This fog is called 'Yaochi Mountains and Seas', which is formed by the gathering of small insects that are invisible to the naked eye, and invades the body along the breath of the person. Originally, they only inhabited the Blazing Valley in the southern Yunnan region of Yuzhou, and they never imagined that they could be seen here today! Renji is really powerful...... I was able to put this thing together! ”
Hearing the young man's words, Jiang Wan's heroic eyebrows tightened, such a terrible fog has such a beautiful name, if it weren't for their quick reaction, wouldn't they have to die here?
After thinking about it, she looked at the young man and wondered, "How do you know so clearly?" ”
This time the boy didn't speak, but the pestering woman next to him replied, "Hehe...... We're from southern Yunnan! By the way, my brother's name is Yixiang, and my name is Yimei. It turns out that you don't know about the 'Yaochi Mountains and Seas', so how did you find out about the danger just now? ”
Jiang Wan looked at the lively righteous eyebrows, and then turned to stare at the indifferent righteous appearance, sighing in her heart, it is really the most strange in the world, these two people are not like brothers and sisters at all, not to mention their different personalities, and their behavior is extremely weird...... But this is someone else's business, and she can only be curious.
Ye Sheng looked down along his gaze, the mist had retreated into the middle of the lake, and he looked far away, except for the grassland, there was no way to go out, and now the only way was to cross the river...... The words of the young man echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and think to herself.
"Hmph, it's not easy, since that thing entered through the mouth and nose, why don't we just find a cloth to cover our faces?" Ye Sheng followed the prestige and found that it was a woman with an arrogant demeanor who spoke, the bridge of her nose was like a sunken, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and there was an obvious black mole at the corner of her right eye. Hearing her words, everyone agreed, and soon there was a loud sound of tearing clothes.
Ye Sheng shook her head disapprovingly, for some reason, the calm lake always made her a little uneasy, "Don't be impatient, now we only know the 'Yaochi Mountains and Seas' on the water, but we don't know what dangers are under the water, if it is traded, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary deaths and injuries." ”
Those five people are living examples! Everyone thought of their tragic deaths, and their movements froze, looking at each other.
Seeing that her solution was rejected, the woman asked in a cold voice, "Then what can you do?" You can't let us die here! Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at Ye Sheng hopefully, when he was on the cliff, it was this young man who stepped forward and tried to find a way to keep them alive, maybe he could rely on him now?
Ye Sheng was silent for a long time before he said: "I can't ...... it either" Although she has a chip function, there is no computer technology here after all, and there is no way to turn what she sees into data analysis. Fang Cai felt that the fog was strange because of her senses, which were special smells of danger.
"Phew...... You can't help it! Everyone sighed, unable to hide their disappointment.
Jiang Wan looked at Ye Sheng, who was staring blankly, and she seemed to be able to feel her chagrin at the moment. So he raised his eyebrows and said quite mockingly: "Our Ye Sheng is not an immortal, why does she have to have a way?" As the saying goes, 'three stinkers race Zhuge Liang', you don't know how to use your brains one by one? Do you still want to rely on us Ye Sheng for a lifetime? What a dream! ”
Everyone's faces turned green when they heard this, but they couldn't say a word to refute it.
"It's so big here, maybe there will be woods or dead wood, let's go and look for it!" Ye Sheng glanced at the sky and said, "Whether you find it or not, we will meet here before sunset." ”
Everyone was helpless, so they only split up to find it. When the person was almost gone, Jiang Wan withdrew her gaze and said, "I heard that the 'Netherworld Land' is very dangerous, why don't we run now?" ”
Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "It's too late." She paced up the higher hills, looking out at the magnificent and dreamy scenery in the distance, and muttered, "The boat wants to anchor, but the water does not stop, the wind does not stop, and the fisherman does not stop." Now that we have entered the Netherlands, we must stand out from these people if we want to get out alive, but then our hope of escape will be even slimmer! Awan...... Are you afraid? ”
Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head, her beautiful eyes shining in the sun, in full swing, "I'm not afraid, Ye Sheng, do you remember what you told me before?" 'What can this mere lotus priest have the power to kill us', no one can stop me when I want to live, and no one can stop me when I want to die! Hehe, don't you say? The girl's crazy words fell into her ears word for word, Ye Sheng laughed heartily and jumped down from the hill, "Okay! Awan, well said! ”
The sky is getting dark, and the people who have been looking for a long time but have not gained anything have come back one after another, and they have ordered some people, but they find that there are still two teams missing.
The first team is the brothers and sisters of the righteous family, and the other team is Ye Sheng and Jiang Wan, who set off a little later.
Everyone looked back and forth in a panic, and after waiting for another quarter of an hour, they still didn't see anyone, and they couldn't help but think worriedly: they wouldn't be in the same danger as those few......
The woman with a mole in the corner of her eye sneered slightly: "If you don't use it like this, it won't be easy to die!" ”
Just when they were at a loss to worry, a person slowly walked out of the boundless night, it was Ye Sheng! Not only that, but he also brought an exciting piece of news - a small bamboo forest was found in the south! At first glance, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't help but shout, and then half of them volunteered to follow him to the south to cut bamboo and make a raft.
After a while, four figures came side by side from the north, and everyone looked up to see that there were Jiang Mei, Yixiang, and Yimei...... Hey? The white-clothed and uproaring young man in the middle is not Ye Sheng, who is it?
"Hey! It's really weird, didn't you just take someone to the south to make a bamboo raft? Why did you come back from the north again? ”
Jiang Wan was inexplicable: "What south?" ”
The brothers and sisters of the Yi family were also strange: "We did find a bamboo forest, but it is in the north......"
Ye Sheng was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale, "Where did they go?" The man was frightened by her, and when he looked again, the white color was gone. Everyone was stunned and the monk was confused, but quickly got up and followed.
When everyone followed Ye Sheng to the so-called southern bamboo forest, they were instantly stunned - the land in front of them seemed to have become a Shura field!
As far as the eye could see, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a full fifty people, lying on the cold and damp grass, with severed limbs and broken arms, their intestines turned outward, and their flesh and blood blurred. No one knew how they died, because they all had big smiles on their faces, as if one second they were expecting to cross the river safely after making a bamboo raft, and the next second they were lying here so cold. The fifty pairs of eyes could no longer be closed, and the gray eyeballs that burst out were crawling with wriggling maggots, and countless black vultures flew up under the cover of the night, greedily picking up the entrails everywhere and splashing specks of scarlet.
There was a wind blowing on the grassland, as if blowing into everyone's heart, carrying the ultimate gloomy and terrifying.
The thick stench came to the nostrils, no one dared to speak, even the breathing was slight, and those who were lucky enough to survive were all rejoicing, glad that they did not come voluntarily!
Ye Sheng glanced at it one last time, turned around and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, cross the river right now!" With that, she tore off a long sleeve and walked towards the long blue river in the distance. Before everyone could react, they saw her come back again, "No, let's wait until dawn before leaving!" Go back to the place just now, everyone remember the appearance of everyone around you, from now on, no one can leave, no one can move, do you understand? ”
Everyone nodded violently, now Ye Sheng is like their backbone, as long as she doesn't fall, everyone feels that there is still a glimmer of hope, as if they can really get out alive from this ghost place!
