Chapter 441: Shiluo (Chasing One)
I nodded, and then asked Ghost Jiu, "Ninth Master, you are well-informed, have you ever seen or heard of this kind of thing before?" ”
Hearing my question, Ghost Jiu shook his head and said, "No! I've never heard of anything like that! I've never seen such a strange situation. ”
Speaking of this, Ghost Jiu paused. Then, he asked me, "Lin Shuo, there is something I don't know if I should say or not." ”
Seeing Ghost Jiu's expression, I sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, what you want to say is about my second uncle?" ”
Ghost Jiu nodded and said, "Although your second uncle is back now. However, you can also see that his reaction when he comes back is somewhat unusual. Moreover, he spent more than ten hours in the river last night. This is definitely not something that one person can do! Therefore, I advise you to still be a little mentally prepared. Even if your second uncle is back. However, whether it is your second uncle in the body still needs to take a closer look at the situation! ”
Hearing this, I nodded. Actually, I was already thinking about what Ghost Nine said just now. He was right, the second uncle's disappearance was more than ten hours. Where would he have gone during this time, and where would he have been in the icy waters for more than a dozen hours without breathing? Under what circumstances do people not need to breathe? The answer is very simple! Only the dead do not need to breathe! Could it be that the second uncle really had an accident? What appears to us now is nothing more than a walking corpse?
I shook my head, trying not to think about it as much as I could. No matter what, everything can only come to a conclusion until the second uncle wakes up.
Moreover, I believe that the second uncle will not leave me.
In this way, we stayed here for another day and night, just to wait for the second uncle to wake up.
However, the second uncle has been unconscious all the time, and there is no sign of awakening at all!
The next morning, we all gathered. I started talking about what was going on.
The second uncle is still unconscious, and he can't set off with the team at all. And Gangye's side doesn't know what the situation is, once Gangye is in danger. Well, all of our efforts this time will be wasted!
The so-called basket weaving basket is all in the mouth. We have cast this net, and if we don't close it, everything will be in vain.
What's more, Lin Feng and those people are ruthless! If they are met by Gangye, the result will be very terrible!
So, after thinking for a while, I said to Ghost Jiu: "Ninth Master, this matter must not be wasted. Therefore, you must still go and join Gangye now. As for my second uncle, his current situation cannot withstand such a long journey. So, I'm just staying here and taking care of him. The rest of the people will leave with you, after all, your side is much more dangerous than mine! One more manpower is one more protection! ”
After listening to my words, Oni Jiu shook his head. "No!" What do you think this is? This is the innermost part of Changbai Mountain, and anything can appear. It's not safe for you to stay alone to take care of your second uncle! Needless to say, it's you, even your second uncle can't handle these things! So, let's leave some more people to protect you. That way, we'll be a little more relieved when we're gone! ”
Ghost Jiu's words had just come to this point, and suddenly, a very weak voice came from behind me: "You don't have to waste time, I'm fine!" I can leave with you! ”
Suddenly hearing this voice, we couldn't help but turn our heads and look in that direction.
I saw that behind me, the second uncle was walking out of the tent little by little. He looked very tired, as if he might fall at any moment.
After seeing this situation, I hurriedly ran over and helped the second uncle. asked excitedly: "Second uncle, are you okay?" ”
And after the ghost nine saw the second uncle appear, they couldn't help but show two very contradictory looks of excitement and vigilance on their faces!
I know they're really worried that the current second uncle is no longer the second uncle I used to be!
The second uncle glanced at Ghost Jiu, and then said slowly: "Don't worry!" It's me! ”
After listening to the second uncle's words, the originally guarded faces of the ghost nine instantly turned into doubts again.
Ghost Jiu couldn't help but ask the second uncle, "Second Master Lin, what's going on?" Why did you spend the whole night in this river and still nothing? ”
After listening to Ghost Jiu's question, the second uncle slowly walked to his side. Then, he sat on the snow like this, and casually beckoned to Ghost Jiu and said, "Ninth Master, don't be nervous first. Hear me out! ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, Ghost Jiu no longer cared about anything, but sat next to the second uncle, waiting for the second uncle to continue.
The second uncle was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Haven't you always understood why I was thrown into the river by that strange fish, and I haven't heard from me?" ”
Hearing the second uncle ask, we couldn't help but nod. After all, we couldn't figure it out all along.
After a pause, the second uncle said slowly: "Actually, the moment it pounced on me, I had already dodged its attack and jumped into the river. And, in order to avoid its attack, I quickly swam to the bottom of the river. It was because of this that I discovered something that none of us could have imagined! ”
"What's the matter?"
Suddenly hearing the second uncle say this, we couldn't help but turn our heads to look at the second uncle.
The second uncle continued: "After I sank to the bottom, I suddenly felt an undercurrent surging in it. You know, if there is such an undercurrent at the bottom of the river, it means that there are other holes or channels underneath. So, I swam along the undercurrent towards the front little by little. At first, it was a little better, and I could barely swim forward against the undercurrent. However, as I got closer to the hole, I noticed that the resistance of the undercurrent was increasing. Even for me, it was a bit of a struggle to swim forward. Eventually, though, I swam through. When I went out through that exit, guess what I saw? ”
"What white do you see?"
Zhan Peng couldn't help but ask a question that everyone wanted to ask at this time.
The second uncle said lightly: "The entrance to the ancient tomb!" Or should I say the entrance to the Eye of the Sky! ”
As soon as we heard the second uncle say this, we all showed surprised looks.
Ghost Jiu frowned slightly and said, "This shouldn't be!" According to the map left by Li Gang's old guy, it can be seen that the entrance to the Eye of the Sky is not here at all. We've got at least two more days to go! ”
The second uncle shook his head and said, "Ninth Master, do you really think that there is only one entrance to an ancient tomb?" ”
Hearing what the second uncle said, Ghost Jiu couldn't help but pat his forehead with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "You're right!" It's me who is confused! All I want to do is follow the map! ”
Speaking of this, Ghost Jiu raised his head again and looked at the second uncle and asked, "So did you rest in that ancient tomb for a night the night before yesterday?" ”
The second uncle nodded and said, "That's right! As soon as I found the entrance to the Eye of the Firmament, I swam back to inform you. However, I found that it was already dark when I bought it. So, I didn't rush out. I just waited here for dawn before I came back from there. ”
After listening to the second uncle's words, we suddenly realized that this was the way things were.
At the same time, Ghost Nine still has a doubt. He asked the second uncle: "So, what is going on with you now, why have you become so weak?" Also, you came back with some aquatic plants wrapped around you, and from what we've observed, those aquatic plants don't seem to be simple! ”
The second uncle smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why I became like this is because of those ghosts made by aquatic plants!"
Suddenly, when I heard the second uncle say this, I couldn't help but ask the second uncle: "Second uncle, what are those aquatic plants?" ”
The second uncle also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He told us that after he came out of the entrance of the Eye of the Firmament, he had wanted to swim out to find us. However, when he was underwater, he found the aquatic plants around him. At this time, those aquatic plants kept wrapping around his body, which made the second uncle very strange. Because according to the direction of the flow of those undercurrents, it is impossible for those aquatic plants to swim in the direction of them under any circumstances. But why is this the case now?
And just when the second uncle was puzzled, those aquatic plants were already entangled in the second uncle's body. Immediately after that, there are more and more. Soon, the second uncle felt that his body was starting to get a little tired, as if the power in his body was being sucked away little by little by those aquatic plants.
It wasn't until this time that the second uncle understood that something was not quite right! So, the second uncle began to struggle desperately. However, the more he struggled, the faster those aquatic plants wrapped around the second uncle's body.
As those aquatic plants became more and more entwined around the second uncle's body, the second uncle inexplicably entered a state of being about to go berserk!
Just when the second uncle was about to hold on for long, suddenly, he remembered that he still had a military dagger on his body. So, the second uncle used the military dagger to cut off those aquatic plants. Then, with the last of his strength, he swam towards where we were.
That's why we see so many bubbles on the shore!
And then we already know what happened.
After listening to the second uncle's words, the Heavenly Maiden was silent for a while. Only then did he say: "According to Second Master Lin's introduction to those aquatic plants, I seem to have seen an introduction to it somewhere!" ”
Suddenly hearing the Celestial Maiden say this, all of us turned our attention to her.
Ghost Jiu couldn't help but ask her at this time, "Where did you see it?" Could it be that your Heavenly Officials still have a record of this? ”
The Heavenly Maiden looked at Ghost Jiu, and then said slowly: "Of course, our Heavenly Official Sect has no record of this kind of thing. Besides, I haven't heard of this kind of thing in the Shimen. ”
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Maiden, Ghost Jiu subconsciously asked, "So, where did you hear about it?" ”
The Heavenly Maiden said coldly: "Of course it's in the Soul Tower!" I still have to thank you for this! ”
Listening to the words of the Heavenly Maiden, Ghost Nine smiled awkwardly. Then, he said to the Celestial Maiden, "At that time, it was all greedy. So, I still have to apologize solemnly to you for this kind of thing! ”
After listening to Ghost Jiu's words, the Heavenly Maiden just snorted coldly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head to the second uncle and said, "Second master, if I'm not mistaken, this kind of thing should be called Shiluo." It is a type of aquatic weed. It's just that this aquatic plant is different from other aquatic plants. Legend has it that this Shira was formed by the resentment of many ghosts who drowned in the water. If it wants to grow, it must continue to absorb the resentment and yin energy around it. If there is a person next to it, then it will immediately entangle that person and absorb his vitality. This is also the special situation of the second master. So, escaped its control at a critical time. If it were someone else, I guess I wouldn't have been so lucky! ”
"What if it didn't?"
After listening to the words of the Heavenly Maiden, I hurriedly asked.
The Celestial Maiden explained, "If you were to be someone else, you might have sucked the vitality out of your body. As long as the vitality is sucked dry. Then, that person will become a walking corpse. Moreover, he will be manipulated by Shira, looking for other people around and bringing them back for his own absorption. For this walking corpse, it can be manipulated endlessly! ”
After listening to the words of the Celestial Maiden, we all stopped talking. Because we know it very well in our hearts. If we want to enter the entrance to the Eye of the Sky from the bottom of the river, we will definitely encounter this thing called Shira. How are we going to deal with it then?
After hesitating for a while, Ghost Jiu slowly asked my second uncle, "What do you think we should do next?" ”
Hearing that Ghost Jiu actually asked himself this question, the second uncle was also a little puzzled. couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ghost Jiu.
After seeing the second uncle's puzzled gaze, Ghost Jiu sighed and said, "Anyway, I also have a lot of responsibility for you this time. If I had been strict with the people under me, this would not have happened. ”
Speaking of this, Ghost Nine raised his head and looked at those people. Then, he said to them: "Listen, from now on, no matter if I am here or not, as long as it is what Second Master Lin says, you must listen!" Now, if any of you have any opinions, please put them up right away. Otherwise, if the disobedient person comes to the critical time, then don't blame me for sending him on the road! ”
