Chapter 223: A dilemma
There is danger in a dangerous place
The attack of the dry corpse is not going to turn around
Ghost Gate Song finished telling the story unhurriedly, he finished his last cigarette, and after a while, he slowly continued: "Since the Templars gave you this mask and asked you to come to me, then I guess your son should go to this Muji Village, but ......"
"Just what?" Li Suna asked hurriedly.
"It's just that if he really goes here, I'm afraid he will be more than lucky at this time." Ghost Gate Song sighed. "Brother, I used to claim that there was no fight that I couldn't reach, but now it's also folded in that damn Muji village? The weirdness and danger of that place is really not what you can imagine. ”
Liu Junxiao and Li Suna didn't speak, they knew that if they could say the word dangerous from the mouth of a person like Ghost Gate Song, even if that place was not hell, it was no different from hell.
What does hell look like?
Nobody knows.
Even if anyone knew, he would not have come alive to tell the world.
But where is purgatory on earth?
Endless killing, corpses everywhere, abyss of blood......
These words are apt to describe it, but they are only apt.
If Xiao Liu were asked to describe this purgatory on earth at this time, he might only use one word to express his thoughts in his heart - eerie and terrifying.
The dark red vines resembled headless pythons from hell, writhing and absorbing everything they could into their massive bodies.
But the strange thing was that those vines didn't seem to feel the existence of Xiao Liu, Huang Duoduo and Father Zhao at all, and they always suddenly bypassed them when they were extremely close.
A few times, a few vines quietly came behind them, and just as Huang Duoduo was screaming and trying to dodge, they suddenly left, with no intention of attacking at all.
This not only surprised Xiao Liu.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise.
"Because of this." Father Zhao shook the white bowl in his hand, and then carefully wrapped it around his waist without wrapping it.
"What's that?" Huang Duoduo asked.
"This is a keel bowl, as you should know by the name, this is a bowl made of dragon bones." Father Zhao said lightly
"Keel bowl?" Huang Duoduo was surprised.
Father Zhao nodded and said: "It's no wonder you don't know, the dragon is the overlord of the water, and most of the people who generally know the keel bowl are the masters of running boats in rivers, lakes and seas all the year round, and they will put such a keel bowl in the bow of their boat, and fill the bowl with half a bowl of water and three grains of rice, so that when they go out to sea to run the boat, they will basically not encounter any big winds and waves, even if they encounter big winds and waves, their boats will be safe." Because in the eyes of those crews, most of the wind and waves on the water are so-called evil beasts in the water, and most of these so-called evil beasts are iron-headed dragon kings, although this guy is called iron-headed dragon kings, he is actually a grown up king. What that thing is most afraid of is the dragon, so putting a keel bowl in the bow of the ship will make the iron-headed dragon king think that it is not a boat, but a dragon, so naturally he will not dare to make waves. ”
"But we don't have water here, so why are these vines avoiding us?" Xiao Liu asked.
"In fact, most of the keel bowls on the market are basically made of hundred-year-old snake bones, although they can also deter evil things in rivers, lakes and seas, but they are useless here." Father Zhao sighed: "Although the snake has been a hundred years old, but they are not dragons after all, the bowl made of snake bones has the characteristics of non-overflowing, that is, no matter how much water you put into the bowl, it will not spill out, but the real keel bowl can be waterless and complacent, as long as it feels the temperature, it will seep water from the bowl wall by itself, and this water, we usually call it ambergris." ”
Father Zhao paused and then said, "It was this ambergris that I poured on you just now. This petrified flower had absorbed the essence of the dragon, and it naturally knew the smell of the dragon and the smell of the human body. ”
"You mean, you covered up the smell of our bodies with the smell of ambergris so those guys didn't attack us?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise.
"That's right!" Father Zhao nodded and said, "Are there any more questions?" If not, we set off. ”
After speaking, Father Zhao patted Erlang's head and said softly: "Good brother, we are leaving." ”
Erlang seemed to understand Daddy Zhao's words, it raised its head and whined twice, and after licking Daddy Zhao's hand with its blood-red tongue, it jumped on the arm-thick chain first.
The vines that had been clinging to the chains were all withdrawn at once, as if a mouse had seen the fiercest cat, and he was afraid to avoid it.
Although Jiro is a yellow dog, it acts like the most agile ape at this time, and there is no difference between walking on the shaking chain and on the ground.
After Erlang jumped on the chain, Father Zhao also followed closely and attached to the arm-thick chain, he was like an old ape, using both hands and feet, and his movements were extremely flexible.
Because the red thread stained with tung oil tied the four people together, after Father Zhao jumped on the chain, Xiao Liu and Huang Duoduo could only grit their teeth and follow him.
The chains blown by the cold wind in the abyss swayed left and right, and the creaking sound of the iron tools rubbing against the stones echoed between the abyssal cliffs from time to time.
After the three people and a dog crawled forward for a while, Huang Duoduo, who was walking at the back, suddenly screamed, which frightened the rest of the people.
"What's wrong?" Father Zhao stopped and asked loudly.
"Yes...... Yes...... Someone! Huang Duoduo said in horror: "Behind me...... There's someone behind me! ”
"Anyone?" Father Zhao said in surprise.
"Don't believe it!" Huang Duoduo said as she stretched out a free hand and pointed behind her, and her finger didn't matter, Father Zhao and Xiao Liu, who had nothing to prepare, almost let go and fell into the endless abyss.
It turned out that I don't know when a black and shriveled female corpse began to crawl silently onto the arm-thick chain.
This guy's eye sockets are deep, one eyeball is still there, but the other eyeball has long been gone, a few strands of long hair are scattered in front of her forehead with the wind, her hands and feet are extremely stiff, every time she climbs, it seems to take a lot of effort, but for some reason the speed is surprisingly fast, just a few blinks of an eye, the female corpse has already arrived behind Huang Duoduo, and a pair of dry hands are almost touching her clothes.
"Damn, there are zongzi!" After Xiao Liu shouted, he wanted to reach out and want to take out the black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice in his backpack, but his backpack had been lost in the stone chamber before, and his back was empty at this time, so in desperation, he could only throw the flashlight that had been biting his mouth behind Huang Duoduo.
When the female corpse saw something flying in front of her, it didn't hide, but tilted its head and used the one eye to see what was flying, but it was hit by a flashlight, and its originally dry face was smashed into a big pit at once.
But it seemed to be completely unaffected, and after a pause, it caught up.
"Run! The female zongzi caught up. Xiao Liu shouted when he saw this.
But the more he shouted at Daddy Zhao, the slower he climbed, and the anxious Xiao Liu wanted to push Daddy Zhao to make him climb faster, but when he turned his head to look forward, he was stunned all of a sudden.
Because at this time, the iron fence in front of them was already crawling with dried corpses of all sizes ranging from dark brown to almost black.
Not only that, but hundreds of dried corpses were pouring towards them from behind the abyssal cliffs, as if countless demons from hell were about to swallow up three poor souls.
"This ...... Where did these guys come from? Xiao Liu asked in surprise.
"Flowers! Those flowers! Father Zhao barely fixed his body on the iron chain, and with his other hand quickly pulled out two bundles of red rope from the cloth bag around his waist.
He threw one of the bundles of red ropes to Huang Duoduo at the end of the team, and then said loudly: "Girl, listen well, in addition to our mountain movers who can tie thousands of miles of bundles of immortal knots, there is also a kind of knot that can break all evils, called the Three Soul Knots. I'll teach you how to play this Regency Three Soul Knot now, if you have talent, a few of us still have a glimmer of life, if you can't tie this Regency Three Soul Knot, then today is the death silence of the three of us and one dog. ”
"Good!" Huang Duoduo didn't say much, following the example of Father Zhao, he first stabilized his body with one hand, took the red rope with the other hand, first drew a rune spell mark of a Taoist elaborate magic spell in the air, and then bit the end of the red rope with his mouth.
Looking at Huang Duoduo's quite skillful movements, Father Zhao nodded and said, "Good girl, listen well." This three soul knots are taken from the Taoist secret book Dengyin Zhendu, and its mantra is: Purple Household Qingfang, there are two gods, holding the bell, the body is born in the wind and clouds, guarding the truth, not listening to the outside, so that I think, reach the Lingguan, enter and exit Lizhen, ascend the nine gates, that is, see the nine respects, the three souls of the dedication, and the six rhymes of Taizun. ”
Father Zhao spoke quickly, but every word was said very clearly, and the voice was like a bell wandering back and forth in the entire abyss cliff.
And before he could say a word, he would wrap the red rope around the chain, and then tie a strange knot.
It's strange to say that the iron chain, which was originally as black as ink, began to change after Daddy Zhao hit the fourth knot, which dark color actually began to reveal a trace of dark red, and slowly the red became more and more intense, and then the center of the iron chain turned orange-red due to the sun, as if this iron chain was scorched at a high temperature of 1000 °.
Daddy Zhao's movements are fast, Huang Duoduo's speed is not slow at all, she is not at all like the first time to see this three soul knots, her eyes are always on Daddy Zhao's hands, Daddy Zhao said a word in his mouth, she also said a word, although the momentum is not as good as Daddy Zhao's Hong Zhong hit the mountain, but it is also like a thousand birds attacking.
Father Zhao tied a knot, Huang Duoduo also tied a knot, his hands were flying, and in a short time, the thirteen dementor knots were already tightly wound around the chain.
But the strange thing is that Huang Duoduo's knots are not like Zhao's father makes the outer chains of the knots hot, and those weird knots are like the decoration of iron chains, except for adding a little color to it, there is no other change.
