Text Chapter 148: Old Bones

The black mandala is murderous

The stone gate was shocked by the old bones

Black is a strange color of black.

It is sometimes very high-end, just like many girls like cosmetics will choose such a color as the packaging to highlight its low-key luxury.

It is sometimes lonely, like a solitary night, a darkness that no light can penetrate.

It is sometimes even dangerous, like the black mandala behind us that looks like the embodiment of death, and everything they touch emits a thick cloud of black smoke in an instant.

I pulled Ice to the front, and Lee followed closely behind the two of us.

Although she was already running desperately, several times her clothes had almost been caught by the black mandala, and puffs of thick black smoke accompanied by a smell like roasted pigskin, like the most powerful whip, spurred Li Yan'er to keep running forward.

The three of us ran all the way down the stone path, and the poisonous insects like black clouds followed closely behind us like shadows.

And when the three of us turned the fifth corner, a stone door suddenly opened on the right side of the stone wall, and then two big hands stretched out from it, and grabbed the collars of the three of us, and then this person exerted force, and the three of us were dragged straight into the stone door as if they were three face pockets.

Then, with a "bang", the stone door closed.

It was not pitch black inside the stone gate, but four or five brass torches were slanted into the walls, illuminating everything here.

I saw that although this place is not too big, it is not small, and the preliminary estimate is that it also looks like eighty or ninety square meters. There are thirteen statues from left to right, six on each side of the left and right, all of them looking like wailing demons, each with a mutilated part of its body, as if it had been cut off alive.

The one in the middle is a statue of the protector of the Dharma about three meters high, I saw that this statue was full of angry eyes, his beard extended outward like a steel wire, he wore an official hat crooked on his head, he was wearing a unicorn armor, the right one was holding a nine-eared big ring knife, and the left hand was holding the head of a demon.

The skull's features were downward, as if it were wailing in pain, but the statue's face seemed to be smiling, and there seemed to be several arms in his large cracked mouth that had not yet swallowed his stomach.

Seeing such a fierce statue, I couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, a person suddenly said coldly behind me, "Who are you?" On that mountain? In which temple has incense been incensed? Catch a big car in the dark and just take a fork in the road in a hurry? Or are you planning to go all the way to the dark? ”

It was a man who spoke, and the voice seemed to come from a jar, and it shook the eardrums of several of us.

I patted my hand on my ear and swallowed several times before I could barely recover my strength.

I slowly turned my head and saw a face that looked like Li Kui in the Water Margin.

To be honest, in my impression, a person will never look like this.

I saw that this guy's face was black as if he had just come out of the coal pile, there was not a single hair on the top of his head, but his lips were covered with a black and long, curly beard, which stretched outward like a broom head, coupled with his eyes the size of a light bulb, it was the black whirlwind Li Kui who came alive.

This guy has a surprisingly big head, but a surprisingly thin body, and looks as if he has been malnourished for a long time.

In addition, he not only looks weird, but also wears even more strangely, others usually wear black clothes and black pants when they go to the ground, but he wears a turquoise top with a pair of bright red pants, not only does the color look weird, but even the size is extremely ill-fitting, so it looks as if it was stolen from someone else's house.

After the guy dragged us in, he sat down against a statue on his left, pulled out something that looked like a chicken leg out of nowhere, and munched on it.

"Hey, what do you say? The mountain's? The guy said as he chewed.

He spoke with a strong accent, a bit like the people in Yantai, Shandong Province were talking, and there was a strong smell of oysters when he spoke.

It took me two times to barely understand what he was saying, and then I replied with a smile: "We guess we are the same as you, and we are also craftsmen in Chaoyin Mountain." ”

"You're also from Yinshan?" The guy looked at the three of us and said. "Come to the lama?"

"What is a clamping lama?" Li Yan'er leaned into ICE's ear and whispered.

"The clipping lama is the meaning of going down to the ground with others to rob the tomb, which is the black word in the Yinshan upside down bucket line." Ice replied quietly.

"I see! But how do you know the nonsense in this business? Li Yan'er asked in a low voice.

"It's none of your business!" Ice said coldly.

Although Ice and Li Yan'er were talking very quietly, they were still heard by that guy, and his ears were really strong and a little scary.

I only heard the guy say lazily and loudly: "I don't even know what the clamping lama is, why is it that now the Yin Mountain is lonely in this industry?" ”

"We're not here to trap the lama!" I watched him say word by word.

"And what are you here for?" The guy finished the last bite of chicken leg in his hand as he spoke, threw the bone aside, and then wiped the oil on his hands with his red pants before slowly raising his head and looking at us and saying, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" Do you know what path you just walked? ”

"We broke in out of desperation!" I looked at him with a long sigh and said, "However, when we came in, we realized that this place turned out to be a ghost town in Xudu. As for that road, if nothing else, it is naturally the Yellow Springs Road. ”

"Don't say it, you little cub still has a bit of knowledge!" The guy looked at me with a slightly approving look and said.

"Well said! Say! I looked at him and said slowly.

"Boy, what's your last name?" The guy looked at me and asked.

"My surname is Liu!" I said.

"Surname Liu? What's your name? He asked, looking at me.

"My name is Liu Tianyi!" I said word by word.

"Liu Tianyi, Liu Tianyi, Liu Tianyi!" He chewed my name back and forth several times in his mouth, and then said slowly: "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." The surname is Liu, this surname is good! Many years ago, I also had a friend who was also surnamed Liu, and he was a good fighter! It's just that now I can't see it anymore. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? I asked, looking at him.

"Hey!" The guy sighed and slowly continued, "Even if he didn't die, I wouldn't be able to get out." Even if I really had a chance to go out, I guess he would have seen Hades a long time ago! ”

"What? This place is in and out? I asked, surprised.

"You're right!" The strange man looked at me for a long time before he sighed and said slowly, "This place just hasn't come back again." ”

"Isn't there even an exit?" Ice asked abruptly.

"Not a single one!" The strange man said categorically, "I have been here for eleven years, three months, and eight days. But in the past ten years, I have not even found an exit. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Yan'er asked in surprise.

"How impossible! This is a tomb, this is a city that can only be entered but not exited. The strange man gritted his teeth and sighed.

"Are we going to be trapped here for the rest of our lives?" Li Yan'er had tears in her eyes when she said this, and she only heard her screaming loudly: "I don't want to starve to death, and I don't want to die of thirst, I heard that people who die of hunger and thirst will go crazy before they die!" ”

"You won't starve, you won't die of thirst!" The strange man suddenly giggled. "Look at me, I've been here for eleven years, and I haven't died of hunger or thirst?"

"That's right! Since this is a dead city, what have you survived all these years? Li Yan'er suddenly stopped crying when she heard the strange man's words, she looked at the strange man with wide eyes and asked.

"I have my own way. If a person wants to survive, there are many ways, but it depends on whether you want to think about it or not. The strange man looked at Li Yan'er and said. Although his glasses were looking at Li Yan'er, his gaze seemed to have fallen into a memory.

He spoke in a strange tone, as if there was something in his words.

I looked at this strange man, and after a long time, I slowly asked, "Now that we are in the same boat, I wonder if I can ask your name?" ”

"My name? Do you want to know my name? The strange man looked up at me and said slowly.

"Yes! I need to at least know what to call you, yes! I said slowly.

"I don't have a name. After all these years, I've long since forgotten my name. The strange man said slowly.

"What? If you refuse to tell me your name, do you not believe me? I looked at the weirdo and said.

"Hahaha, little cub, you don't have to provoke me!" The strange man giggled and said, "If you want to call ......" The guy said and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the chicken bone he had just thrown away, and then he said slowly: "If you want, call me old bones!" ”

"Old bones?" I said with a frown.

"Yes, that's right! Old bones, hahaha! The strange man suddenly laughed and said, "Old bone, this name is really good. ”

"Alright! Then I'll call you Old Bones. I also suddenly laughed and said, "I'm a little cub, you are an old bone, it seems that we were born to be friends!" It's a pity......"

"What's the pity?" Old Bones looked at me and said.

"It's a pity that there is no wine at this time, if there is wine, the two of us can at least have a few drinks." I laughed.

"Who says there's no wine?" The old bone said with a glow in his eyes.

"What? Will there be wine in this place? I asked, surprised.

"Of course!" Old Bone said and stood up, "You guys come with me!" ”

With that, the old bone walked towards the statue on the far right.
