Chapter 21: The Lair

Sanjiu suddenly handed me a packet of compressed biscuits, and when I saw the food, I swallowed my saliva very unproductively, if it weren't for him, I would definitely cheer and scream a few times before eating it!

The hungrier a person is, the more he has to resist the urge to gobble up, and eat slowly to have time for the brain to feel full. Sanjiu silently took out the black plate, he muttered for a while, eighty percent is a spell again, the black plate is actually hanging in the air, swaying and floating forward, I can see it straight, isn't this a UFO?

I figured it out, this black plate is the real guide to find the ancient book, no wonder I asked him about the black plate before he refused to say, it turned out that this thing was his hole card! They are all enough to hide, everyone has hole cards, but I don't have them!

"Ahem, I'm not interested in any books at all, so I just want to go home safely." I took the opportunity to show my attitude, they all wanted to get ancient books, but there was only one book, and there were more wolves and less meat. Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, there are countless examples of brothers killing each other, not to mention this team where everyone has their own ghosts, I have to pick myself out first, lest Sanjiu kill me.

But as if he hadn't heard me, he didn't even bother to give me a look, and walked briskly ahead with the black plate.

I caught up with him in a sneering manner, secretly blaming myself for being too talkative, at this time my guarantee is tantamount to a blank check, because I am not complete me yet, as long as the corpse sister in their eyes comes back, I will never let go of the opportunity to get the ancient book, and then I am afraid that Sanjiu and I will become enemies in different ways.

I'm very conflicted right now, on the one hand, I want to recover my memory as soon as possible and figure out what has happened in the past five years, and on the other hand, I don't want to change back to the strange me, I always feel that I am not me, it is really a bit strange to say this, and I even wonder if I have split personality disorder.

My wandering thoughts were interrupted by the sudden light source in front of me, and it turned out that under the guidance of the black plate, we had left the boundless darkness and rubble and entered the endless glowing plants. These mossy plants, glowing with a faint blue glow, spread all over the ground, like an endless carpet.

I've never even seen fireflies when they're so big, and when I see such a spectacular sight, I can't help but be amazed.

Sanjiu didn't stop at his feet, and walked directly to the blue glowing lawn.

"These plants aren't poisonous, are they?" I asked worriedly.

Sanjiu crouched down and picked up a small pinch of moss with his index finger and thumb, the blue fluorescent light on his fingers, he put the moss under his nose and sniffed it, then threw it away, shaking his head at me.

It seemed that this thing was harmless, I breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered something, so I casually asked, "You are quite familiar with the things here, and you have been here in the past?" ”

Whether it is a yin and yang ray, a goblin, a corpse monster or a cannibal tree, there seems to be nothing in this underground world that he doesn't know, and at this moment, thinking back to the chance encounter in front of the stone wall, I'm afraid it's not a simple coincidence, he went to that stone wall for this black disk.

Since it is necessary to choose a peer and give the other person appropriate trust, I am not asking this to test anything, but out of pure curiosity.

"I've never been here, I've listened to what others say." His voice is still hard and cold, I don't know if I am used to hearing it or my mood has changed, and I now listen to his answer without even emotional ups and downs.

"Oh, so he didn't say who built it? Although I am not interested in books, I especially want to know who the author of the book is! ”

Anyway, chatting doesn't delay walking, and I finally have the opportunity to chat with us in peace, I just happened to know the relevant information about this operation, otherwise I always feel unsure.

"The author is unknown, but there is an ancient tribe that has always guarded it as a holy relic, and this is the altar of that tribe."

"They're still here to worship?"

"That tribe has long ceased to exist, they have always acted secretly, so there is no record of them in the official history, and they have never left a written word, if it weren't for a few strange spells that flow to foreign tribes, no one would know, there are still strange books like "Autopsy" and "Burial Sutra" in the world."

"You can find such a secret, but it's still not hidden enough!"

Sanjiu glanced at me coldly, I immediately silenced, and secretly scolded him for being stingy in my heart, a certain stingy person only cared about walking with a straight face, and I also closed my mouth knowingly.

My legs mechanically repeated the movement of lifting my legs, my eyes were the same blue moss, and the regular footsteps were like a pendulum in the middle of the night, and as I walked, I gradually felt my eyelids sink down.

Maybe I've been scared all the way, my nerves have collapsed too tightly, and I've reached the limit, and now when I relax, I can't sleep. I don't know when I fell asleep, I just know

When I woke up, it was dark, and I was choked by the foul smell.

I sat up, reached out and touched the side, and sure enough, I felt an arm, which was cold and stiff, and no longer belonged to a living person. Sanjiu is dead? It was a bolt from the blue for me, and it made me cold from head to toe.

I clutched his arm tightly and sobbed under my breath, muttering his name: "Sanjiu... Thirty-nine... Three-"

"I'm here." Suddenly a human voice came from a few meters away.

"Sanjiu?" I shouted in surprise.

"En" With Sanjiu's response, a small ball of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, and it was he who struck the match.

His face appeared two or three meters away from me, and I immediately realized something, and hurriedly withdrew my hand from the cold and stiff arm, but my eyes still couldn't avoid seeing what was in front of me!

I was squatting, so frightened that I sat on the ground, and retreated again and again, until my back hit the cave wall, it was a headless corpse that I mistook for Sanjiu, thinking that I had close contact with this headless corpse for a long time just now, and I couldn't stop pantothenic acid in my stomach.

"It's Xuanqing, Mr. Feng Shui invited by the fifth master." Sanjiu leaned closer to the headless corpse and looked at it, then said to me.

Following his gaze, the arm that stared at the corpse frowned, although I was reluctant to get close to the corpse, I wanted to know what was going on, so I asked, "Is there something wrong with the corpse?" ”

"He's missing a palm, and he's ......" Sanjiu said, looking at the intact arm I had caught, "his skin is badly aged, and he still has age spots on the back of his hand, which he didn't have before he entered the canyon." ”

I remember Bai Jinyu said that Mr. Feng Shui was only in his early forties, how did he become an old man after entering the canyon? First he grew old, then he broke his hand, and now he is a headless corpse, this gentleman named Xuanqing is really miserable, it seems that the severed hand I found on the stone is his.

"Maybe he's been poisoned by something that can make people age quickly, but there must be a reason for it. Now the question is what are we going to do, how do we get here while walking? ”

I said and looked around, this is a natural cave, less than fifty square meters of space, when I look at the ground, the scalp is numb, and the broken bones of people and animals are densely piled all over the ground, I don't know how many there are.

I hurriedly stood up against the wall, and the feeling of sitting on the pile of bones was strange, but even if I stepped on these white bones, the taste was not pleasant, and I always felt a cold air burrowing into my body along the soles of my feet.

No other corpses were found in the cave, Zhao Wuye may still be alive, Sanjiu struck a match again, looked up at the top of the cave, and said to me: "The exit is on it." ”

Then he looked down at the white bones on the ground, and continued, "Although the glowing moss is harmless, it may have a hypnotic effect, and after we fell asleep, we should have been dragged back by something." ”
