Chapter Ninety-Six: The Unreliable Old Man
In the wall, in addition to Ah Cheng, there was also a person sitting. At first, I didn't notice him until I asked, "What is this place?" Later, the man sitting in the corner, dressed in black, coughed:
"This is Jiaolong Road. It is a nest where the dragon molts and a very safe place for ordinary people to enter. β
Listening to the voice, this is an old man, but his voice is so unfamiliar that I can't tell who he is for a while.
"Ah Cheng? This oneβ"
"He is the old man of yin and yang, the elder who is in charge of yin people." Ah Cheng explained, "Thanks to him, the two of us were able to escape. β
"That's the way it is, yes, thank you, old man, but, old man, I want to go back to that cave again, I think that person just now may be very important to us." I thought to myself, trying to touch the wall that came in.
The wall was solid again, and I felt empty.
"Young man, don't worry, that person is an unknown family and has never been good friends with us, so don't feel uncomfortable looking for it. Sit down and wait for me to gather the others. The old man behind him said, standing up tremblingly.
Seeing this, Ah Cheng wanted to go up and help him, but was stopped by the old man of Yin and Yang: "No, no, you come with me." β
The old man waved his hand, and he walked like a fly. Ah Cheng and I glanced at each other, and then followed.
The Jiaolong Road is winding, and there will be some viscous liquid on the ground from time to time, and when you step on it, the liquid will be splashed and fly around.
I accidentally touched my arm, curious, I leaned to my nose and sniffed it gently, it stinked incomparably. An indescribable smell rushed straight into my nostrils.
I almost threw up, but I quickly shook my hand and shook the liquid off my arm.
At this time, I no longer dared to walk at a faster pace, but only dared to look at the ground cautiously, groping forward little by little.
But soon, I found that the distance between me and the old man of Yin and Yang, and even Ah Cheng, was gradually getting farther and farther away.
I wanted them to wait for me, but I found that the old man in front of me was still maintaining such a fast speed. Doesn't he dislike the liquid in this Jiaolong Dao and is disgusting?
Seeing this, I had no choice but to speed up and follow.
But the more I felt like it was happening, the more I felt the unknown liquid splash on my body. I can even smell the stinking smell......
At the end, I couldn't help it anymore and threw up with a "vomit".
Ah Cheng heard the sound of vomiting, stopped, turned his head and asked me, "Ah Hao?" What's wrong with you?"
"It's a little nauseous, I don't know, what kind of liquid is here, it's disgusting." I said as I vomited.
After vomiting for a while, I suddenly noticed that the strange disgusting taste was slowly disappearing. Eventually, I couldn't smell it at all.
Also, I don't have that strong feeling of vomiting anymore. I gasped and tried to ease myself: "It's a little weird, Ah Cheng...... Don't you smell that, you're almost sick to me. β
Seeing that Ah Cheng didn't answer in time, I opened my eyes and glanced at the ground.
I don't know if it was my delusion or what's going on, but I saw the ground, and what I spit out was a pool of black and pressed blood.
The reason why I say blood is because I smell a touch of blood on the corner of my mouth, but the color of this blood is too wrong, right?
"Are you alright? I don't see anything, what's wrong with you? "Ah Cheng came over and patted me.
I waved my hand: "It's nothing, it's good to spit it out." Maybe it's a physical cause, right? β
"Keep up, it's no big deal, you have residual poison in your body, and the liquid left by this molting skin can allow you to eliminate those toxins." The old man walked back at some point.
I nodded, thanked me again, and then stopped being cautious and quickly followed the pace of the old man.
After walking for about ten minutes, the exit of the tunnel appeared in front of me.
The old man did not walk in in a hurry, but motioned for us to stop here, and he quietly walked to the edge of the cave and carefully poked his head out.
More than a minute passed from this view. I couldn't wait, and I wanted to go up and find out.
Who knows, the old man in front of him raised his hand. That obviously means that we should continue to wait where we are.
No, I had to retract my foot.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the old man finally had signs of moving. I was about to catch up, but he was gesturing to us back.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.
"It's not your uncle outside, it's Li Changfeng and them, I didn't expect them to go to the dragon's throat one step ahead of us. We can't just go out now......" explained the old man Yin Yang.
"What's the Dragon's Throat?" I muttered, feeling less and less incomprehensible about the situation.
"How long have you been in? Don't you even know what this place is? The old man's eyes widened, and he had an expression of disbelief.
"We really didn't know it, so we were fooled down." Ah Cheng said truthfully, "I don't know the old man, can you tell us what the situation is here?" β
The old man looked at the two of us and nodded: "Let me tell you briefly, every place here was formed by a dragon back then, and these walls and roads here are all dragon bodies." We are now in the dragon's throat, and through the dragon's throat, it is the dragon's heart. That's the heart of the place, and even I don't know what's in it......"
"This ......"
I was dumbfounded for a while, and I admit that every word of the old man's words shocked me.
"Old man? You're not kidding, are you? If you say that, we're not in the dragon's body?" Ah Cheng was obviously also shocked, and his speech was not serious.
The old man glared at Ah Cheng and shouted, "If I knew, I would tell you everything." This is a forbidden place in the first place, and I won't let the Yin people approach here! β
Dare to ...... The old man himself didn't know what this place was.
I was speechless again, and everything I wanted to say and ask was gone.
"However, since we are gathered here, it is obvious that there is a cause and effect in it, and I believe that this is not a simple gathering of the ten clans." The old man coughed as if he was deliberately hiding his embarrassment.
At this point, I didn't really want to listen to the old man's words, so I smiled slightly, and then walked to the entrance of the cave by myself.
No matter how the old man stomped his feet and chattered in the back, I didn't pay attention to it.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, I looked out, but found that there was no one outside, let alone Li Changfeng, I didn't even see a shadow.
"Isn't there no one at all, you bad old man lied to me?" I turned my head and said with some anger.
Unbeknownst to me, as soon as my words fell, an explosion suddenly sounded behind me.
I turned my head and saw that the ground in the middle of the hall was bubbling and a pile of rocks had exploded.
"These people! In order to open the dragon's heart, it was forcibly fried with a glass box! The old man's reaction was stronger than mine, and he ran out directly and fell to the ground.
I was stunned and forgot about my situation for a moment.
It wasn't until Ah Cheng patted me that I reacted back. followed Ah Cheng and walked up.
"Old man, what are you looking at?" Ah Cheng's unconscious attitude towards speaking has also changed.
I took the opportunity to glance at the ground. Good guy, it's another deep pit, deep and invisible. I couldn't even see if there was anyone inside.
But the old man looked down vigorously, and I didn't know what he was looking at. Then he asked, "What are you looking at?" β
The old man of Yin Yang suddenly "shh
What is down there, the old man of yin and yang to be so focused?
I glanced at the hole again. However, in addition to the bottomless darkness, it is still darkness.
I was in a bit of a trance when I looked at this darkness......
In a trance, I saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking underneath, and those people seemed to be kneeling collectively, and it was ......
Just as I was about to see clearly, the darkness before my eyes returned......
"Ah Hao? Ah Hao?" Ah Cheng was patting me hard.
"Huh?"
"I'll go get the rope, let's go down. Go down and take a look, after all, Li Jing and others are also down there. Ah Cheng handed me one end of the rope.
"Shall I go first?" I was a little confused with one end of the rope and looked at the deep hole. When I turned my head back, I saw Ah Cheng nodding at me.
Okay, I casually fastened the buckle of the rope to my belt. Then, I was about to jump off. was grabbed by the yin and yang old man on the side.
"Can't go down, can't go down." The old man said excitedly, "There is poison below, and you will die if you go down!" β
"Huh?" I was a little puzzled, "Don't get excited, old man, how do you know that there is poison down here?"
"The dragon's heart is poisonous, and the living should not be approached. This is the ancient precept of our Yin people! The old man said sharply.
"But I'm not your yin guest, this ancient precept doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?" I frowned and insisted on going down. If there is poison down there, I really have to go down and rescue Li Jing and the others.
"It's okay to go down, but can you wait a minute, I want to see ...... again" The old man hesitated, turned his head again, and stared down.
Although I was displeased, I suddenly heard the old man Yin and Yang seem to be muttering something.
Like a spell, like something else......
I leaned over a little, and finally heard something about: "The position is a dragon, the wind is neutral, the Gen hole is tolerant, take the ...... you like"
This is...... I couldn't believe that the last part of the last of the twelve methods of fixing acupoints and gathering qi actually came out of the mouth of the old man in front of me.
I hesitated, "Old man, what are you?"
"Go down, old and I'll be with you." The old man of yin and yang said word by word.
Changed so quickly?
