Chapter 67: Toad Beads
I wondered to the extreme, even if it was really in the mountains, and there happened to be such a house in the mountains, and the courtyard houses were dead things, how could they be moved?
At this time, the two red lights at the door of the house suddenly flashed twice.
I couldn't help blinking, and as soon as I opened my eyelids, I suddenly found that I, Dou Dabao, and Bai Jing had come to the gate of the house.
Dou Dabao and I looked at each other, both a little dumbfounded. Bai Jing's eyes slowly turned, and she opened her mouth, but she stopped talking.
I wanted to ask her if she had anything to say, but before she could speak, the door in front of me suddenly opened silently. An old woman with a fat body and thinning hair and a big mouth came out of it.
The old woman, who looked ridiculously ugly but approachable, looked at the three of us and asked, "Are you lost?" ”
I'll look at Dou Dabao, and Dou Dabao will look at Bai Jing. Bai Jing suddenly made a rather strange salute to the fat old woman, and said in a strange tone:
"Yes, may I ask the old man, how can we get out of here?"
The fat old lady smiled, her mouth was already big, and the corners of her mouth were almost reaching the root of her ears when she smiled, "It's not difficult to get out of here." I can help you, but you have to promise me one condition. ”
I felt that the ancient mansion in the fog was strange, and the fat lady's identity was even more suspicious, and I wanted to ask, Bai Jing secretly gave me a look, and then asked the fat lady:
"Old man, you talk about your conditions first, and we have to see if we have the ability to do it."
"Of course it can be done, but for you, it's just a gesture."
The fat old lady suddenly turned pale, turned to me and said, "Actually, I want to ask you for one thing for my benefactor." ”
I glanced at Bai Jing, she didn't react, so she said to the old lady, "You talk about it first." “
The fat old lady said: "I know what you are here for, I just want to say that the truth is bound to be revealed, but pity the parents of the world, you can leave a way for that child to live." ”
I wondered, "Child? ”
The fat old lady stuck out her tongue and licked her wide mouth, and sighed: "Alas, maybe I'm troublesome, but the kid is hopelessly bad before he gets it." I only beg you, forgive and spare others, and do not kill them all. ”
I heard it in a fog, and was about to ask a question, when the fat old lady suddenly raised her hand and pointed, "Take one of these two lamps, with the lamp, you won't get lost again." Leave me a lamp, and I'll shine it on. Remember, lanterns are thin and easy to break, so be sure to move lightly. ”
I was just about to look up at the lantern she was pointing to, when she let out another long sigh and retreated back the door.
As the door closed, I seemed to hear her whispering: "Good and evil grievances must be avenged, and Mo Dao is too early or late." You saved my life that year, and now, my limit is approaching, and that's all I can repay you. ”
Seeing that the door was closed, there was no movement inside, and Dou Dabao and I looked at each other, and we both felt extremely strange.
Bai Jing bit her lip and said to me, "Don't be stunned, since she gave you the lantern, take it off quickly." ”
I didn't want to delay, so I looked up and asked Dou Dabao to help build a human ladder and go up to pick up the lantern on the right.
I don't know what material the lantern is made of, it looks very transparent, but the light is not dazzling.
I listened to the fat old lady's words, and carefully took off the lantern, but as soon as the lantern was removed, I heard a voice in my ear say, "Come back quickly!" ”
The voice was very familiar, not loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the ears. I was so excited that the lantern in my hand somehow fell downward.
I hurriedly reached out to grab it, but my body suddenly emptied. I just felt my body flash, and in the blink of an eye, I had touched the ground.
When I opened my eyes, I found that I was still clinging to the rockery, and I was still surrounded by mist, but there was no ancient mansion anywhere.
Seeing that Dou Dabao was also confused, I thought in my heart, could it be Nan Ke's dream just now?
"Be careful, don't break the lantern." Bai Jing reminded me.
Only then did I remember that she was the one who told me to 'come back'.
She told me to be careful not to break the lantern, but where did I get the lantern?
In doubt, I felt as if I was holding something in my palm. Spread out, in the palm of the palm was a dark red bead the size of a finger.
When I looked closely, I was taken aback. It's not a treasure jewel, it's an eyeball!
Suddenly, I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort around me. The skin tightened, and the blood vessels around the temples beat violently for no apparent reason.
"What is this?"
Dou Dabao asked in his mouth and leaned his head forward.
I couldn't do it in my body, so I subconsciously pushed him away.
This was an impatient instinctive move, but as soon as he pushed him away, he suddenly heard a loud "click", and an electric light pierced through the fog and exploded a spark between the two of us.
Dou Dabao's face turned green with fright, "Why is this sudden thunder?!" ”
My face was even more ugly than his, just now, it was really a thunderbolt from the sky, and the position where I was struck by the thunder was just between me and him. That is, I pushed him away first, because he was strong, and I was pushed aside by the reaction. If I hadn't made this move, Lei didn't say that he had put the two of us on a string that day, at least he had to give me a 'head shot'! If that's the case, even if my head melon seeds can be saved, it will become a roasted 'rabbit head', how can I still have my life.
Shocked, I suddenly heard a long breath from under my body.
I, Dou Dabao, and Bai Jing followed the sound at the same time, and suddenly saw a big toad the size of a sea bowl and a red-skinned scabies coming out of a stone crack on the side of my leg.
This big toad is the one I saw with Lao Liu's master and apprentice last evening, but I don't know why, at this moment, the right eyelid is wrinkled, and there is actually a missing eye bubble.
The toad glanced at me with his left eye, but without screaming, he turned around, kicked on three legs, and flew into the fog in mid-air.
Immediately after, there was a 'poof' sound of falling water from the direction where it jumped.
Bai Jing patted me on the shoulder, "Quick, jump with it!" ”
After saying that, he took the lead and jumped out in the direction where the toad jumped out.
I didn't hold it, and there was already the sound of falling water below, and then I heard Bai Jing whispering in the sound of rushing water: "Come down!" ”
In a matter of moments, I had a rough picture of the situation. He stretched out his hand again and looked at the 'bead', and beckoned to Dou Dabao, "Follow me." ”
The two jumped into the fog one after another, I just got on the ground, and immediately dodged to the side, Dou Dabao really fell to the ground next to me, if I hadn't flashed fast, most of the two of them would have become a rolling gourd.
Bai Jing turned out of the pool in front of him, and he didn't care about being soaked, and hurriedly said to me: "You light, don't destroy that toad bead!" ”
