53. Ninety-nine steps
This thing rolled down at the feet of me and Lao Zhang, and I realized that it looked round, and it should be a snake gall. It's just that the size of this snake gall is a few sizes bigger than a basketball, and I am afraid that there will be thirty or forty pounds.
Generally, snake gall is easy to break, but this python gall is very large, and the skin wrapped on the outside is thicker, not to mention being knocked by a stone on the ground, I'm afraid that if the knife is blunt, don't even think about cutting it.
I couldn't eat it on the spot, so I took out the cloth bag and raised it at him, and the monster nodded. Seems to agree with my approach of packing and taking away.
So Lao Zhang and I worked together to stuff the snake gallbladder into it, and it was barely enough to fit the bag.
After we finished loading the snake gall, I wiped my sweat and tried to look back to see that the beast was gone. Where he had been in the belly of the snake, there was still a faint blue flame that was gradually extinguished.
With the fall of that python, the evil obstacles around us have weakened significantly. At this time, we can already clearly see that in the place where the blue fire is dying, there is a figure upside down.
I cried out in a lost voice: "Grass, your uncle is really a Hulk......
didn't care about Lao Zhang, ran over directly, and the unclothed and unconscious old man who fell to the ground was not Bi Longma?
I flipped him over and noticed that the blue flame was gradually shrinking into the mark on his arm.
It was the first time we met, and we suspected that it was the mark of the tattoo.
The tooth marks in the middle were as good as new, and the flames around them gradually extinguished, returning to the form of a charm. This made me curious about that mark, could it be that everything that happened just now had something to do with this mark on his arm?
What kind of mysterious relationship could this be?
Lao Zhang also rushed over, he probed Ryoma's snort, and said, "It's okay, I'm not dead." ”
Then he woke him up without any gravity.
Don't Ryoma opened his eyes violently, and he coughed a few times, as if something was stuck in his throat, which made him very uncomfortable. Lao Zhang and I stood aside, showing sympathy.
He lay his head in the crook of my arm and retched for a long time, nothing came out, but he finally came back to his senses, he looked down at his arm, and finally nodded reassuringly, and said, "Have you put away the snake gall bladder?" ”
We nodded, and he was relieved and said, "This Ju woman is not simple, and she has even raised such a rare beast. At first, I blamed me for miscalculation, thinking that everything was going well, but I didn't expect that there would be fierce beasts guarding me...... But now that the beast has been eliminated, this evil mandala city can be said to have been cracked by us. There is definitely no greater danger, you just need to go to the Formation, find the container containing the girl's soul, open the seal, and put it in our own container, and we can withdraw ......"
"We?" Lao Zhang and I looked at each other and asked Ryoma in the same voice: "Aren't you going?" ”
I said with trepidation, "How did you old liar save us?" You didn't tell us you were the Hulk......"
"The old man has a green wool," although Bei Longma is not in good spirits, he is quite angry when he scolds people, "This is the secret method of the Toad Gate of the Taoist Master and my own door, and it has its own Taoist technique of subduing demons and eliminating demons, but as the saying goes: 'Hurt the enemy a thousand, and damage yourself by eight hundred', every time this method is used, it has a great impact on the old man's body...... Alas. In this way, if there is a chance in the future, the old man will give you a good talk, but now is not the time to speak......"
He raised his hand and pointed in a direction as if very casually, and said, "Ninety-nine steps over there, you can find the formation eye." I'm weak now, go quickly! Just do what I tell you to do. ”
Didn't the rice bags we prepared at the beginning run out early in the morning, I said with a bitter face: "Master, we know that you have given up for us, but we don't have anything at hand, we want to go but we are powerless, just with the two of us broilers, how can we break the seal?" ”
Beryoma glanced at us gloomily and said, "Can't you just be a little flexible?" ”
I don't think it's very inappropriate to apply this statement to me, and I was about to argue, but Lao Zhang interjected: "This thing is different from others, we weren't in this line of work, and we don't have any skills, we don't even have props at this time, don't you think this is like forcing a eunuch to give birth to a son, a bit of a strong man?" ”
Beryoma shook his head and sighed, and said: "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved, you really refreshed the lower limit of IQ in the old man's cognition, even if it's a eunuch, you can't have a son, it's okay to steal one, right?" ”
I followed his thoughts, even if we can't unlock the seal of each other's container for the time being, but if we work around, we can bring the container back directly, and when we get out of this place, we can find a way to follow-up, which is also feasible.
Then I nodded and said, "Okay Master, you can rest here and don't move." ”
Then I pulled Lao Zhang and walked over there, now the light of the flashlight can shine three or four meters away, I counted the steps under my feet, walked ninety-four steps, and felt that there was no road ahead. The evil barrier in front of us stuck in a state of dense ink that was close to infinite darkness, as if it were flowing water, isolating us.
I asked Lao Zhang in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, is my step too big?" How did you come to the end with only ninety-four steps? ”
Lao Zhang was also very resistant to the evil obstacle that blocked the way, and said without thinking: "It's possible, maybe it's possible that we counted wrong, or we can go back and look for it?" ”
We walked back again, and before we knew it, we were back near Beryoma.
Don't sit on that luck, heard the footsteps flashlight, looked at the two of us suspiciously, felt a little bored, and asked himself: "Got it?" Didn't you? ”
I ignored him, and led Lao Zhang back to the same place and set off again, this time the steps were as small as possible, but what I never expected was that this time my steps were as even as possible and the span was smaller, but when I reached the ninety-fourth step, I still unconsciously walked in front of the evil obstacle that seemed to be touched.
I feel a chill, what's going on?
"Again?" Lao Zhang also felt that something was wrong, so he asked at the right time.
I didn't answer, and walked back to square one.
The third time, this time I took the smallest step possible, almost the kind of front foot stepping on the back toe, measuring my foot, but when I got to ninety-four steps, there was still the evil obstacle in front of me.
This time we didn't go far enough, and Beryoma's flashlight could faintly shine on us, and he suddenly said, "Why don't you leave?" Don't you dare to go in when you encounter an evil obstacle? ”
