Chapter 355: Touching the Melons with the Vine
The white-clothed priests walked to the pit, knelt on the ground and began to worship as if there were gods in the pit. After a while, one of them untied a gourd from his waist. The gourd is blood-red all over, and the gourd is wound with silk threads, and the white-clothed priest tightly wraps the silk thread at one end of the gourd around his wrist, and then throws the gourd into a deep pit.
After a short silence, with the soft sound of the gourd falling into the water, the four of them clearly saw that the white-clothed priest's body was loosened. When the other white-clothed priests saw it, they did the same, and took the gourd and threw it into the pit.
"What are they doing?" Luo Xiu looked at the group of white-clothed priests, a little puzzled.
The old yellow head no longer remained mysterious, but held the cigarette stick tightly in his hand, "They want to fish for the 'water of the abyss', and when they pull up the gourd, we will shoot." The old yellow man's expression was grim, as if to indicate that some danger was coming.
But these words were still unclear, which made Luo Xiu ponder for a while, but he didn't understand the reason.
"Don't ask, just do it." Hades raised his hand to interrupt Luo Xiu's chatter, and his eyes never left the white-clothed priests.
In an instant, the white-clothed priests suddenly leaned forward, as if they were being pulled by something and might fall at any moment. Seeing this, the old yellow head's face became more solemn, and the hand holding the cigarette stick began to tremble.
Mo Ye suddenly shouted softly: "Look! ”
I saw that the white-clothed priests all began to slowly lean back to counteract the sudden pull. With the constant game, it seems that some kind of delicate balance has been reached. But just as they were rejoicing, one of them was exhausted, and suddenly leaned forward, unsteady on his feet, and fell into the deep pit.
There was no sound of falling water that should have been heard, but there was a continuous wail, echoing here. The other white-clothed priests had learned from the past, and the force of pulling back was also a little stronger. It seems that he is confident in the winding silk thread, and he is not worried that it will be torn off.
This kind of game continues, and the hearts of the four people hidden next to them are also clouded with a layer of haze.
A sparse sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and the box taken away by the white-clothed priests began to shake desperately, as if the contents were about to break out. And the insects carrying the unconscious woman in white also began to move towards the box, slowly forming a circle and wrapping the box in it.
The white-clothed priests obviously heard the strange noise in the vicinity, and the movements of their hands unconsciously sped up a little. But in this breath, two more people were unstable in their center of gravity and were pulled down.
The white-clothed priest at the head leaned back sharply, like a fighter playing with a wild beast, and began to drag the silk thread desperately one after another. If it weren't for the iron fist on his wrist, it is estimated that he would have been pulled and broken in this game. The rest of the white-clothed priests followed suit, but they didn't know whether they were physically exhausted or weak, and they fell into the pit one after another.
The heart-rending wails continued to come from the deep pit, echoing here for a long time. The old yellow head was already frowning, and from time to time he glanced at the box surrounded by a pile of insects, and squinted at the remaining three white-clothed priests, as if he was sweating for them.
The other three began to be a little worried, if they waited for the worms in the box to break out of the box, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.
The remaining three white-clothed priests finally began to move back, and then leaned back by inertia, and little by little put the gourd up. When the three of them were about to walk to the pile of insects, the three of them simultaneously grabbed the heart that was placed in front of the body of the woman in white and held it tightly in their hands.
As soon as the silk thread was loosened, the gourd that had been put down just now was also pulled. When the gourd flew back into the hands of the white-clothed priest, the three of them immediately pressed their hearts against the mouth of the gourd and walked quickly towards the box.
The gray-black bugs surrounding the boxes seemed to be afraid of the three of them, and they pushed them aside one after another, but they were reluctant to let those boxes come up again. The three white-clothed priests raised their hands to lift the lid of one of the three boxes, quickly removed their hearts, poured the contents of the gourd into the box, and then closed it again.
The box slowly calmed down after shaking rapidly, and only after the three of them had done all this did they slowly retreat. The group of insects rushed to the box again, but they seemed to be afraid of the box, and did not dare to wrap the box as they had just done.
Seeing this, the old yellow head raised his hand and snorted coldly: "The three of you quickly restrain those three evil cultivators, and the old man will come again to eradicate all this." ”
Hades nodded to the other two, and Mo Ye and Luo Xiu quickly turned over and jumped down, rushing towards the three white-clothed priests. The three of them seemed to be still immersed in the joy of imminent success, unaware that someone had been spying on them in the dark.
Before the three of them could react, they were restrained by the three of them, and the old yellow head walked out slowly, took two sips, spit out a smoke ring, and said to himself: "This thing, it's really a puff, one less puff." ”
After the old yellow man finished speaking, he did not delay, walked quickly to the rest of the hearts, put them all away, and then gently broke one of them, and threw it into the deep pit.
When the three white-clothed priests saw the old yellow man's actions, they suddenly began to struggle violently, and finally cried out without stopping, "You have defiled the ritual, and you will never be able to live beyond the dead." But they couldn't break free, and could only watch the old yellow head still have those hearts still.
As the old yellow head kept throwing his heart, the gray-white insects surrounding the box seemed to smell the smell of blood floating in the air, and began to rush towards the deep pit, falling into the pit one after another, and disappearing.
The three white-clothed priests had fallen into a frenzy and began to curse in obscure words that the four of them did not understand, as if this was the only way to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
Luo Xiu listened to the curses of several people, felt irritable, raised his hand and slapped the head of the person at his feet, hitting him dizzy for a while. After the old yellow head did all this, he moved back to the three of them, squatted down and knocked three times on the heads of the three with a cigarette stick, "I know who you are, but you don't have to think about this so-called elixir of longevity, the deep pit may be more suitable for you."
After speaking, he raised his hand and made a throwing motion, and the three of them grabbed the three white-clothed priests and walked towards the deep pit. Two of them still cursed incessantly, but the person who was caught by Luo Xiu began to beg for mercy in the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty.
"You heroes spare your lives, I also listened to slander to do such a hurtful thing, please let me go, I will tell you everything, don't kill me." As he spoke, he began to nod desperately to a few people, especially in the desire to survive.
The other two looked like they were going to death generously, and they were particularly contemptuous of this person's greed for life and fear of death.
The old yellow head was not completely selfless, he glanced at the Immortal Venerable and the others, and then asked in a deep voice: "Listening to the accent, are you a native of Yi County?" ”
The white-clothed priest was grabbed by Luo Xiu's neck, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke, but he still nodded desperately, wanting to ask the old yellow head to save his life, and seemed to faintly regard the old yellow head as the leader of several people. The old yellow head was also happy to make a plan, and raised his hand to signal the Immortal Venerable and Mo Ye to take the other two to the deep pit, only then did he change his face and ask with a smile: "Why do I believe you." ”
The white-clothed priest seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and finally could no longer control it, and a hot current gushed out between the two, and pleaded with a crying voice: "I am the son-in-law of the county lieutenant, and I have already married the daughter of the county lieutenant. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Then you don't have a good future as the son-in-law of the county lieutenant, what are you doing here? Isn't it playing tricks on the old man? The old yellow man had an evil look on his face, obviously not believing the words of this man.
The white-clothed priest hurriedly defended: "I was also forced to be helpless, I was born in a poor family, and I am in love with Miss County Lieutenant. But the county lieutenant was very concerned about my identity, so he wanted to break us up and brought me here. By chance, I was appreciated by the immortal elders of Penglai Immortal Mountain, so I went incognito again and became a priest, all of which was forced to be helpless. ”
After hearing this, the old yellow head groaned for a long time, and then said quietly: "Then you want to use this 'elixir' to exchange for your identity as the son-in-law of the county lieutenant?" ”
The man was debunked by the old yellow head, and could only nod indifferently. Luo Xiu was not happy, threw the man to the ground suddenly, and snorted coldly: "Such a daring person is also worthy of marrying the daughter of the county lieutenant." ”
Unexpectedly, the man staggered to his feet, raised all his courage, and defended: "I really love each other with Miss County Lieutenant, if I hadn't been blocked by the views of the family, how could I have fallen into the field where I am now?" ”
These heartfelt words, I don't know if they really moved the old yellow head, or let the old yellow head have an idea in his heart, but I heard him say with a smile: "Young people should be brave and enterprising, and don't be disturbed by secular prejudices." Since you have already obtained the 'elixir of life', why don't you take advantage of the county captain's serious illness to turn the tide? ”
"What! Miss County Lieutenant is seriously ill? When did this happen? How did I not know? When the white-robed priest heard this, he asked urgently.
The other two were crumbling at this time, and they kept cursing this man for being greedy for life and afraid of death. But the county lieutenant's "cold son-in-law" turned a deaf ear, raised his hand and tore off the white veil on his head, staring at the old yellow head to ask for an answer. The old yellow head's eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's better like this, I'll go with you and give you a strong courage, how about it?" ”
"I don't know if the immortal master wants to use this 'elixir of life'......" Before the man finished speaking, the old yellow head pretended to speak solemnly: "Yes, the old man also sympathizes with you, and would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a single kiss, so that I will accompany you on a journey." ”
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at the other three, and the three of them understood and began to tear off the clothes of the other two white-clothed priests, wanting to use this natural identity to strengthen the "cold son-in-law" of the county lieutenant.
A hint of resoluteness flashed in the eyes of the county lieutenant "Han Son-in-law", and he said in a deep voice: "Then please accompany me on a trip, I want to strive for my own happiness." ”
Seeing that the treacherous plan had succeeded, the old yellow head patted the man's shoulder again and again and smiled: "That's right......
