Chapter 48: Nearly killed
Two wooden tiles to be exchanged
The mysterious figure was almost killed
I'm afraid, this word is completely non-existent for Zhang Chengyong!
Zhang Chengyong may have any emotions in his life, but when his impulse comes up, even if you put a knife on his neck, he will not have the slightest fear.
Therefore, when the man's words were not finished, Zhang Chengyong had already kicked the door of the broken temple open.
"Grandma's! Who do you say is afraid? Zhang Chengyong yelled.
"Beware of the trap!" I wanted to grab Zhang Chengyong, for fear that there would be that kind of deadly mechanism in the broken temple.
I only said five words, but by the time I said the third word, the boy had already rushed into the ruined temple like an arrow.
The lights in the ruined temple were still swaying in the wind, and its elongated reflection jumped on the stone walls of the ruined temple like a ghost.
The two children who were like porcelain dolls were still laughing, laughing wantonly, of course, laughing very weirdly, like mockery, mocking me and Zhang Chengyong's loneliness.
There are no traps in the broken temple, and there are no traps to seal the throat with blood.
However, when Zhang Chengyong rushed in, the half-male voice stopped abruptly. The sound seemed to be blown away by the wind for a moment, and it was as if it had never been there.
"Grandma's! Where did the people go? There is a kind of competition with Lao Tzu and me, or you kid will be beaten with peach blossoms, and I won't be fucking surnamed Zhang! Zhang Chengyong scolded.
He scolded for a long time, but there was no response at all in the broken temple, let alone a person, and he didn't even see a ghost shadow.
"Where did you go? Damn! This guy is running so fast! Zhang Chengyong looked at me and asked.
"Perhaps, he just hid!" As I spoke, I glanced at the strange-shaped Yuan Shi Tianzun on the shrine.
Yuan Shi Tianzun, the full name of "Qingxuan Zu Qi Yu Qing Yuan Shi Tianzun Miao Wu God", also known as "Yuqing Purple Void Gao Miao Taishang Yuan Huang Dao Jun", is one of the three highest gods of Taoism, and its dojo is located in Kunlun Yuqing Realm.
Most of the statues we usually see are seated statues, dressed in white and white-haired, holding a dust, sitting upright in the center of the shrine, with a majestic expression and eyes facing down, looking down on all the good and evil in the world.
However, the statue in front of me was a reclining statue that I had never heard of before, and I saw him lying on his side on the shrine, his head slightly raised, but his eyes looking down at us. The corners of its mouth were slightly raised, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, like contempt, like provocation.
In addition, although this statue of the Yuan Shi Tianzun was also dressed in white like snow, he put it aside lazily, and the hand he originally held on to the dust stretched out two fingers and pointed to the wall on the east side of the broken temple.
"You mean that guy is still in this room?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me and said. "Why do you think this Buddha statue is weird?"
"It's not good, I just think he's a little bit wrong!" I said.
"Let me tell you, I think this broken statue is also weird, how can a good Buddha statue lie down? Lying down, why do you still have this expression? Zhang Chengyong scolded. I said Tianyi, don't you think there is a mechanism in this statue? ”
"It's possible! However, it's not good to say now! I said lightly, then looked at the wall on the east side of the temple, and then looked at the two boys and girls standing on the side, and said, "Have you checked the two of them?" ”
"It's up to you to say, of course checked." Zhang Chengyong said.
"Did you find anything?" I asked.
"Nothing particularly big has been discovered." Zhang Chengyong sighed: "These two children were filled with mercury from the top of their heads, and it seems that they can be preserved so well, it is estimated that they were poured in when they were alive!" Oh, that's pathetic! I think the two of them are five or six years old at most! In the small grade, I was buried with a guy I didn't know! ”
"Anything else?" I asked.
"Nothing else. In addition to this! Zhang Chengyong said and handed me a piece of wood.
I reached out and took the piece of wood, only to see eight words carved with a knife on it, "Keep the key for life!" Fit and fit! ”
These eight characters were carved on wood chips with a knife, written in Chinese Simplified, and the carving was not neat, apparently this person was in a hurry when carving these words.
"Leave the key and change the name"?
What does that mean?
What keys are left?
Whose life will it be for? Is it my life and Zhang Chengyong's life? Or is it Xiaomei's life?
Who carved this?
How did he know we were coming to this ruined temple?
"Where did you find this wood chip?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and asked.
"I found this on the boy's body." Zhang Chengyong said.
"Did you search the girl's body?" I asked.
"Before I could search it, I was interrupted by what you said about the Buddha statue. Why don't you search now? Zhang Chengyong replied.
Before Zhang Chengyong's words were finished, I had already flipped over on that girl's body.
Sure enough, in the girl's arms, I also found a piece of wood.
I saw that there were also eight words written on this piece of wood: If you don't exchange, you will regret it!
"Regrets? What does that mean? Zhang Chengyong snatched the piece of wood in my hand and asked in surprise. I said Tianyi, what is the key they want to exchange with us? If you have that key, let's exchange it with them! Xiaomei's life is important! Besides, it's not this key that we're looking for! Right? ”
"You ask me, who do I ask? I don't even know what the keys are for them! Even if I wanted to change, I didn't! I scolded.
"Since we don't, how did those guys find us? Fuck it! Zhang Chengyong said angrily.
"Shh
At this time, I suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the ruined temple, so I hurriedly made a silent gesture to Zhang Chengyong.
The fellow apparently heard the footsteps, and when he saw my gesture, he immediately stopped talking, and kept his ears close to the wall to listen to the light feather-like sound outside.
Sure enough, after neither of us were talking, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the house. Since the groundwater began to rise again, the ground that was originally only wet has begun to have a layer of water at this time.
The man's steps were light, light like a cat, dexterous and light, almost silent, but, after he had taken a few steps, his shoes had already been soaked by someone, so after a few steps, every time he stepped up and down, there was a little splash.
And it was the sound of the splash that sounded as clear as a thunderbolt at this time.
After a few cautious steps, the man seemed to suddenly realize something, suddenly turned around, quickened his pace and ran in one direction.
"Boy, don't run!" Seeing that this person was about to run, Zhang Chengyong in the house couldn't hold it anymore, and after he shouted, he rushed out as if he were flying.
I tried to stop this guy with a voice, but as soon as my words reached my mouth, he had already turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Darkness, as heavy as dense darkness, enveloped the entire dungeon.
The faint light of the fire is like a ghost peeking on everything here, and the firelight like a bean swaying reflects everything here straight, as if it is the devil's claws, firmly controlling everyone here in the palm of his hand.
However, in the palm of the devil's hand, there were two people running one after the other.
They ran like crazy, ignoring the wounds they had caused from their falls, and letting the blood flow freely, as if there was a real devil chasing them behind them, and as soon as they stopped, they would be devoured by the demon.
However, of the two people, the person in front was obviously more familiar with the terrain here, and after a few turns, the person disappeared, leaving only the person behind him standing still and scolding.
"You fucking turtle grandson! If you have the ability to plot against us, why don't you have the courage to fight with me in an upright manner? Stabbed in the back, what the are you a hero? There's a kind of you coming out for me! ”
This person kept shouting, and this voice came from Zhang Chengyong.
Zhang Chengyong scolded for a long, long time, and even scolded the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors, scolding him until he had nothing to scold, and scolded until he felt that his mouth was dry, but the only response he got was his own empty echo, and other than that, it was the endless rumors.
The sound of the wind is still blowing, still wet and blowing on the face.
But this wind did not blow away the worry in Zhang Chengyong's heart, because at this moment he suddenly realized that he was lost.
Impulsiveness, a moment of hot-headedness, everyone will have it, no matter what the reason, everyone will have more or less reckless behavior.
However, impulsiveness is often accompanied by remorse, a kind of remorse that hurts to the heart.
At this time, Zhang Chengyong was experiencing this feeling, and he almost regretted his intestines.
He kept cursing at himself, cursing at his impulses.
But what's the use of him scolding himself in the most vicious language in the world?
At this time, he had already put himself in a desperate situation.
He pinched his throat with his hand, and the headless fly-like bump just now made him feel bitter and bitter at this time, and he wanted to find some water, but he looked around and found that there was no water source to drink in the dungeon where the sound of water could be heard everywhere.
However, Zhang Chengyong did not intend to give up, he always believed that he could find a way out, and he believed that as long as he kept his faith, he would definitely be able to escape from this ecstasy.
However, after trying it forty-seventh time, he finally gave up.
Hunger and thirst had taken away the last of his strength, and he felt as if the dry throat was about to erupt into fire, and the blood in every vein in his body was going to be drained. Isn't it the greatest joke in the world to be dying of thirst in a place surrounded by water?
Zhang Chengyong used the last bit of strength on his body, put the flashlight in his hand aside, and found a wall to sit down.
Zhang Chengyong sat on the ground and kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Hey, I didn't expect that I, Zhang Chengyong, would have today." I didn't expect that I, Zhang Chengyong, would be trapped alive in this Lost Soul Alley. Oh, what a pity! What a pity! Xiaomei! Your brother Zhang can't stand you, he can't protect you well, if there is a next life, I will definitely not let you be hurt again. ”
"Then you have to have another life, if you die in such a place, I think it will be difficult even if you want to enter the six realms of reincarnation!"
At this time, I walked out of the darkness on one side.
Behind me stood a man, who was wounded, but she was still standing straight.
This person is none other than ICE.
