Chapter 15: Phantom Vine
Chen Mo took out the obsidian sword, the ninja's scalp was numb, and he turned around slowly, and saw a little boy who looked as thin as dry wood smiling at her behind her, the bruised cheeks seemed to be just a layer of thin skin wrapped in it, and when he laughed, his eye sockets were sunken and he couldn't see the pupils, as if he had two black holes embedded in them.
Chen Mo was so frightened that he retreated, but he didn't want to have a hole behind him
, only to feel that the foot is empty and falls. When he fell, Chen Mo thought about what kind of grudge this was, and he could meet ghosts in broad daylight.
Before she could get up, a few vines suddenly stretched out next to her to tie her up and dragged her directly into the air.
"Damn, this thing?" Chen Mo was suddenly tied up by the vine and struggled in shock, but the vine became more and more entangled, almost helping her into a dumpling, and the more tightly entangled.
"Hey! Have you had enough of tossing? Don't let people sleep well? ”
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, Chen Mo forgot about the struggle in surprise, turned his head in a difficult yoga posture and saw half of the face of the person behind him, and found that Chen Qi was also hung on it, and it happened to be back to back with her, Chen Mo was suddenly happy, "Yo~ This is not Chen Qianlang Chen Daoyou, who rushed away last night!" Why are you sleeping here now? Could it be that the wooden bed at home is too hard? Came out to find this hammock? ”
Chen Mo admitted that she was now relieved to see that you were not doing well, and when she saw that Chen Qi, who had no righteousness to leave her and run away, was hung here, she wanted to sing a song 'We ordinary people ~ It's really tonight ~ I'm really happy (roar)'
Listening to Chen Mo's yin and yang weird sarcasm, Chen Qiqi's nostrils were smoking, if it wasn't for her to avoid her, wouldn't he go out in the middle of the night? If he hadn't gone out in the middle of the night, he wouldn't have strayed into a maze and been tricked by an illusion to come here, Chen Qi snorted, "I like to go out in the middle of the night, I like to sleep in a hammock, no!" ”
"Can you stop arguing yet?" There was a sudden more familiar voice Chen Mo heard that it was the voice of the little scholar, but the little scholar was also behind her, she couldn't see the situation, so she had an idea, wrapped her calf around Chen Qi's leg behind her, and twisted her body with her strength, and suddenly saw that the little Taoist priest was also hanging in the hole, and there were many dried corpses hanging next to him, some of them were animals, some of them were human, like rows of dried salted fish, Chen Mo was so frightened that she didn't notice that Chen Qi was kicked out by her.
Chen Mo !! Believe it or not, I'll kill you! ”
Listening to Chen Qi's roar, Chen Mo said that he was not a real hero if he was afraid of death, and he had the ability to come over.
"Little scholar, are you alright?" Seeing that the little scholar seemed to be in poor spirits, Chen Mo asked worriedly.
"I feel as if these vines are absorbing my spiritual power," the little scholar looked terrified, biting his lip with tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was trying to hold back his crying. He had never been out alone since he was born, and he spent most of his time in the bookstore, never in such a situation.
"It's all said, don't use your spiritual power, you don't listen, the more this vine demon resists, the faster it absorbs spiritual power, you just wait for a while, become the same thing as these dry corpses next to you," Chen Qi learned Chen Mo's movements just now, kicked on the dried corpse next to him, and floated over with the reaction force.
The little scholar was obviously frightened by Chen Qi's words, biting his lip tightly, and looking very pitiful with tears in his eyes.
Chen Mo also became nervous when he saw it, and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, relax, I don't feel the loss of spiritual power, I will save you out, you can tell me how you fell here?" ”
The little scholar choked up and said, "I walked forward alone, and I didn't go far before I saw Chen Daoyou walking in front, I told him that he didn't respond, so he rushed forward, but as soon as he approached, he fell down."
"Chen Daoyou? You mean you saw Chen Qianlang? ”
Seeing the little scholar nodding, Chen Mo turned around just in time to see Chen Qi floating over, so he raised his foot and kicked him back again.
Chen Qi was furious: "What are you doing? ”
Chen Mo asked rhetorically, "What else do I want to ask you?" Did you lure the little Taoist priest here? ”
"Wouldn't you like to have a bigger brain! I hung here all night when he fell, and what he saw was a phantom," Chen Qi kicked the dry corpse next to him several times before adjusting his direction and shaking over.
"Phantom? What phantoms? I see that if you hang all night, your spiritual power loss is much less than that of a little scholar, who believes that you hang up all night! What are the credentials? Chen Mo said suspiciously, looking at Chen Qi just approaching and threatening, "It's better not to get close to me until you make it clear, who knows if you did it." ”
In fact, seeing this vine and the dried corpse with a hole hanging clearly, Chen Mo understood that this was a plant called the Phantom Flower Vine, and it happened to be recorded in the collection of herbs she bought. This vine generally grows in some ancient tombs or caves with heavy yin energy, the vine can grow to tens of zhang long, a small white flower blooms on the vine, the fragrance of the flower can confuse people's hearts, make people hallucinate, so as to automatically approach it in the cave, be bound by it, absorb the essence of spiritual power, and finally turn into a handful of dry bones. But as she said, if Chen Qi really hung here all night, then her loss of spiritual power would only be more than that of the little scholar, instead of looking at the loss of spiritual power like now.
Chen Qi roared directly, "What do you stupid woman know? As soon as the little scholar came in, I reminded him not to use his spiritual power in vain, it was he who used his spiritual power indiscriminately to try to unlock the tree vine to guide the phantom flower vine to accelerate the absorption of his spiritual power, what does it have to do with me? ”
The little scholar also nodded to confirm Chen Qi's words, Chen Mo actually believed most of it, but still asked, "Then tell me how you fell?" ”
"I went out on my way last night, and because I was in a hurry and tired, I strayed into the maze of this phantom vine, and then I saw ...... See...... You don't care how I fell! Why should I sue you! Chen Qi's face suddenly turned red, he spoke in a hurry, and finally simply forced his words.
"What are you talking about? This phantom flower vine is what you think in your heart, could it be that you see something that you shouldn't see? Looking at Chen Qi's expression, he definitely saw something obscene, and Chen Mo took the opportunity to tease him.
Chen Qi's face blushed even more, and he said angrily, "Why do you care so much!" Don't you want to go down and hang here waiting to die? ”
Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "You have been hanging up for so long and you haven't thought of a way?" I've only been hanging for a while, what can I do? I'd better hang it up first."
