Chapter Seventy-Six: The Heartbeat Under the Altar
On the way to the west peak of Meishan, Chen Xian got to know the old man more and more, and he became more and more aware of how dirty his heart was..... This old immortal!
"There are so many of us, and you only give me one seed, is there any saying in this?" Chen Xian asked curiously on the road.
The old man's statement was very simple, and his answer was very crisp.
"I see that you seem to be the leader, so I want to try the knife on you first, after all, you all fell from the sky, and I don't know how many pounds and taels you have..... I think the one who takes the lead should be the most powerful, if I can get you, it will be okay to kill other people, and it's not so simple to get seeds on the living, you can only get one person at a time. ”
Speaking of this, the old man became serious as if he were serious, and analyzed Chen Xian very seriously.
"After getting you, I wanted to take the time to mess with other people, but I was afraid that you would suddenly find out and react...... Speaking of which, I still blame me for being cowardly, after all, this is the first time I've made someone like you fall from the sky. ”
Chen Xian was embarrassed to swear, if he was embarrassed to swear, the old man would have been sprayed with blood.
Fuck it!
Isn't this just a difference?!
"Old man, where's your grandson?" Xu Yanan asked suddenly.
"He went to play in the mountains." The old man replied without looking back.
"You tried to kill us at first, and we brought our grandson with you...... You're not afraid of accidents? Lu Yisheng asked curiously, and it was also Xu Yanan who mentioned his grandson, and Lu Yisheng remembered, "What the hell is it that you walk too much at night, aren't you afraid that we are hard stubble?" ”
"I didn't see hard stubble." The old man smiled and said, "It's too far away from the village, and I don't feel at ease about leaving him alone in the village, so I take it with me...... But I didn't want him to see me kill people, so I let him go to the mountains first. ”
"You're relieved to let him play in the mountains?" Chen Xian asked suspiciously.
"It's safer in the mountains than in the villages, because it's not peaceful in the village lately." The old man said, frowning, "I suspect it's haunted." ”
As soon as they heard the word "haunted", everyone was quite curious...... It's still haunted in this weird place, what kind of trouble does it have to be?
"I don't know if I did something bad or what, but recently I've been hearing people crying in the village, I suspect it's haunted in the village, but maybe I'm hallucinating." The old man muttered in a chattering voice, looking nervous, and his tone became nervous, "Men, women, old and young, everyone's voices are there, and I can't hear them very clearly when they are mixed together, but now that I think about it..... Those voices seem familiar, and I always feel like I've heard them somewhere. ”
"Except to hear those cries...... Are there any other anomalies? Chen Xian asked curiously.
"It's gone." The old man shook his head.
But at this moment, the expression on his face froze for a moment, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly added.
"That's right! The other night, I often saw a lot of bubbles flying in the sky in the village! There seems to be a human face on those bubbles! Is this an anomaly you are talking about? ”
Bubble?
Flying into the sky?
Chen Xian and the others looked at each other for a while, only to feel that the bubbles that the old man said were extremely familiar...... Although there is no evidence to prove their conjecture, no matter how it sounds, these are those extremely aggressive bubble-like beings in the cracks of Meishandi!
"Boss, did those things cross over?" Lu Yisheng muttered to Chen Xian in a particularly low voice.
"I don't know." Chen Xian frowned, his face puzzled, "If what he saw was the same batch as what we met, then it would be really uncertain." ”
What exactly is the connection between the two worlds?
Chen Xian has been pondering this question, but he has not figured out a reason until now.
If there is some kind of special passage between the two worlds...... Then this passage is very likely to be in the sky, because according to the information obtained so far, the pale sky above everyone's heads does not seem to be simple, everyone fell from the sky, and the bubbles that the old man saw were also vertically upward, all the way up to the endless sky, maybe their end point is the junction that can cross the space...... Like a hidden tunnel?
One end of the tunnel is in the vast sky of this world, and the other end is in the dark underground of the original world.
The boundary between heaven and earth...... It's amazing.
Chen Xian sighed in his heart.
The old man didn't want his grandson to go on an adventure with him, so when he led Chen Xian and them to the altar on the west peak of Meishan, he didn't call his grandson back, but let him play everywhere in the mountains, as long as he didn't go back to Meishan Village, after all, that place was a bit weird..... From time to time, you can still see a few bubbles floating in the sky, and although I don't know if they are harmful to you, the old man's instinctive reaction is to keep the child away from there.
"If there's no danger here, we don't look at the weird stuff...... The view is pretty good. Xu Yanan followed Chen Xian's side, constantly looking left and right, and the heavy mood before was also relaxed at this moment, after all, Chen Xian is a person who is easy to give people a sense of security.
No matter whether his ability is deprived by this world, and whether his combat effectiveness has decreased a lot, he can always give others a feeling that he can rely on, and perhaps this can be regarded as a unique personality charm.
"If you encounter danger for a while...... That's still the old plan. Chen Xian said without looking back, his voice was very soft, but it could reach everyone's ears, "The bones go up to take the lead, and the others hide behind me, I will do my best to protect you." ”
"Just you?" Li Daosheng muttered, but he couldn't help but lean towards Chen Xian's side, "It's good to be able to protect yourself, don't you remember how you were dying before?" ”
"Hey, I didn't say it...... Are you looking for something to do with your surname Li? Lu Yisheng scolded angrily, and then raised his hand and twitched Li Daosheng's neck lightly, "Talk to my boss like this again, believe it or not, we will join forces to beat you hard?!" ”
Li Daosheng is the son of the Li family, where did he get this kind of anger?!
Although it didn't hurt much to be whipped by Lu Yisheng, he still felt that he had been greatly insulted, so he immediately turned his head and glared at Lu Yisheng viciously, and opened his mouth to scold an ugly word, but soon he found that he couldn't scold...... Because except for Chen Xian, everyone else was staring at him.
"How many people are amazing...... Li Daosheng turned his face and muttered softly, "I will bully people by relying on the number of people...... You're waiting for my ...... out."
Although he spoke in a small voice, Lu Yisheng's ears still heard it, and he patted him directly on the shoulder.
"Get out, my boss covers me! Do you dare to provoke trouble, believe it or not, he will perform the quintessence of the country for you? ”
“.......”
At this moment, Li Daosheng only hated that his backer was not hard enough, although the behemoth of the Li family in the southwest could suppress nearly 90% of the strangers in the country, but when facing the secret situation...... It's still not hard enough, not to mention that Chen Xian is not an ordinary stranger, he is a "national treasure" in the Secret Bureau, and there are even rumors in the industry that Chen Xian is the flag-bearer of the Secret Bureau after more than ten or twenty years, and he is definitely the top-notch one.
For now, Chen Xian's combat power is enough to deter Li Daosheng, and if the entire Li family moves out, few people can face Chen Xian and say that they have a chance of winning...... What's more, judging from the previous dealings, this person is extremely protective.
Why isn't it my boss?
Li Daosheng muttered in his heart, although he didn't want to admit it, but he did envy Lu Yisheng a little, why don't I have such a hard backer? This grandson's life is so good?
"It's here!"
Suddenly, the old man who was walking at the front stopped and looked back at the crowd.
"This is the altar of the West Peak, that thing...... It's just under the altar. ”
The people are located halfway up the west peak of Meishan Mountain, which is different from other places, there is almost no vegetation on the surface of the mountain, and at first glance it looks bare and a rocky field.
Ahead is a distinctly man-made plaza that shines far brighter than the pale rocks of other places.
In the square, everywhere you can see is gold bricks, there is a burning glass oil lamp in each of the four corners, and in the center is a dark ancient well....... Maybe the others didn't notice, but Chen Xian did hear it.
At the moment when everyone stepped into the square.
He heard a heartbeat coming from the depths of the ancient well.
