I took a breath, took a sip of water, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Bai Lu and Yun Wen wanted to look at each other, their expressions were slightly strange, and Bai Lu said: "Brother Zhou Bo, when we went to the river to fetch water this afternoon, we found a strange thing, can you come and see it after you rest for a while?" ”

"Found in the river, or on the bank of the river?" I asked.

"When we found it, the water was churning endlessly, as if there was a living thing, Sister Bai Lu and I thought of your instructions in our hearts, and when we were in danger, we hid, and we hurriedly left with wooden barrels, who knew that there was one under the water, a strange thing that we would never imagine, and then we brought it back, and now it is placed in the backyard of this house, waiting for you to come back." Yun Wen said.

"If this thing is so weird, why did you bring it back?" I asked.

"It can speak human words, and it may be helpful for you to find the Spring Girl, so..."

I remember last night when I was fighting with the red-eyed monster, it released the corpse maggots, and I jumped into the river to avoid being drilled into the body by the corpse maggots, and then when I was about to float ashore, I heard something strange underwater, and I thought it was very strange, and now I heard Bai Lu and Yun Wen talking about the strange thing floating on the bottom of the water, I wonder if it is the same person, if so, can I still speak human words, then what is it, where does it come from?

This made me more and more curious.

So I put down the package, put the things away, I followed the two of them to the backyard to check the so-called strange thing, thinking that this thing could be carried back by both girls, it must not be too heavy, and it could be allowed to be brought back, so that it would not easily hurt people, I thought about a lot of answers, I thought about what kind of ape it was, but I thought that the ape did not know water, and if it fell into the river, it would be deep enough to drown, and ruled out other answers.

In the end, Tian shamelessly thought, could it be the legendary mermaid, and fantasized about the appearance of the other party, as well as the pretty body and face, etc., and even felt that the more I thought about it, the more real it was, there could be a mountain that appeared at the same time all year round, and a beautiful mermaid girl was not allowed?

Until I opened the door of the backyard and walked out, but I saw the slightest shadow of a mermaid, and my fantasy suddenly broke, and after checking again, I finally saw the so-called strange thing, what was it, it was a wooden man composed of rotten wood, but this wooden man looked more upscale to assemble, the face was more finely carved, and the body also had a lot of joints composed of logs.

From a distance, it looks like a little humanoid, both in body and expression, but a wooden man is a wooden man, no matter how carefully carved, how much it looks like a person, or a pile of rotten wood instead of a person, and even because it has been floating in the water for a long time, many parts have been soaked.

"That's what you call weird?" I asked disappointedly.

"Zhou Bo, don't you think it's weird? It looks like a person but not a person, like wood and not wood, and can speak human words, which looks more magical than Pinocchio. Yun Wen said.

At this time, the wooden man struggled to support his soaked body, closed his mouth one by one, and said in a weak voice, as if the power was insufficient: "I am the pioneer of the Dragon Hunting Camp He Kui, who are you?" ”

"Dragon Hunting? Are you Li Mufeng's subordinate? I hurriedly asked.

The wooden man moved his body a few times, and then said word by word: "Li Zun makes the name of the untouchable, and you and other untouchables can call it at will?" Come, go, take it down... Oh, they're all dead, and I'm the only one. ”

I didn't expect to be able to hear the ancients speak in my lifetime, although the ancients have already become a pile of rotten wood, but there is no harm in communicating with them, I just have a bunch of questions I want to ask him, but I have caught the opportunity, after thinking about it, the most important thing is that the deputy envoy Wang Gang set up the wooden man in the abyss, this matter has bothered me for a long time, and now there is a dragon camp to answer it personally, wouldn't it be better?

However, since ancient times, the status has been distinct, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, listening to his tone, if I ask in such a normal way, I will definitely be said to be a pariah, not qualified enough and so on, so I have to find a way to solve this first, and the direction is a pair, the method is immediately there.

I pulled open the outer coat, took out the dragon-seeking tooth zhang from the inner clothes, held it in my hand and let it see, the wooden man named He Kui immediately sat up, the expression it engraved was unchangeable, but the wooden hands that could move were trembling and moving, it gently touched the tooth zhang with its peripheral fingers, and stood so for a long time.

"This matter is complicated, but to put it simply, Li Mufeng's predecessor taught me this Yazhang and asked me to take over the responsibilities of the Dragon Seeking Envoy." I said.

He was already physically exhausted, and he was trembling even more at the moment, and I was worried that he would fall apart at any time.

However, at this time, he stood up slowly, and knelt on one knee with all his strength, making a loud sound, each of his hands stood up and crossed his thumbs in front of his chest, lowered his head, and said in a choked and trembling voice: "Subordinate He Kui, see Lord Milongzun!" There are many offenses, and those who don't know are not guilty, and I hope that the adults are Haihan. ”

After hundreds of years, this etiquette has not changed, even if the Dragon Hunting Camp has long since disappeared, has long disappeared in the long river of history, and it is difficult to find its traces even in the wild history, but this Dragon Seeking Camp pathfinder still does not forget his duty, does not forget this fundamental, according to the book, this scene is really touching people's tears.

"Now in the 21st century, it is no longer possible to kneel for people, get up quickly, you and I are both people in the military camp, just salute each other." After saying that, I also gave him a military salute and didn't take advantage of him.

He paused, and I said, "Get up." ”

He propped up his wooden body and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates' lives are not long in coming, and my heart is already weak here, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support a stick of incense. ”

"Okay, He Kui, I would like to ask you, what happened after you arrived in Xiying City, and why did the deputy envoy named Wang Gang set up an organ under the tunnel of the post station to let us take refuge in this city, is it to harm us? What is it intended for? And what is it that has been found here to unravel the miasma beneath the abyss? I asked.

He Kui's wooden body rattled, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for long as it said, and it said: "Envoy Qiyu, as expected by your lordship, Deputy Envoy Wang Gang has bad intentions, and his purpose is to attract future generations to this city. When it comes to the solution to the miasma, it is a method of human sacrifice... Giggle.."

It's over, this guy is about to run out of power!

I hurriedly asked, "How can I keep you alive?" Is cardiac resuscitation OK? ”

He shook his wood and said, "My lord, the anger has dissipated, the time of death is coming, if the fish is out of the water, how can they survive?" ”

"What do you mean, that means throw you back into the water and you'll live?" I asked.

He shook his wood again and said, "It's useless, cluck." ”

"Well, that last question! Why does the wooden man under the abyss move differently from what he says? It points to the direction where the real antidote lies. And have you ever seen a girl come alone? I asked.

"The action is changed by subordinates..."

After finishing speaking, the wooden man lowered his arms, his whole body was relaxed, and he was reduced to a pile of really useless rotten wood, the kind that can't even be used for fire, I regret it for a long time, but I just feel strange, why can he rely on the body of the wooden man to live until now, but he didn't say a word and died, what is "the anger has dissipated, and the time of death is coming"?

What's the matter, this guy is also my predecessor and Yun Wen's predecessor, I plan to bury it, but at this time, Bai Lu pushed me away and asked excitedly, "Don't bury it!" It hasn't said where it is yet! ”

As she spoke, she looked at me with sharp eyes, as if accusing me of asking the question of Yingchun last.
