Chapter 45: Going Round and Round
I wasn't in a coma for long, and I woke up in this tree hole.
Liu explained that it was caused by strong light stimulation and overwork.
I didn't worry about what Liu had done to me, and many things could be completely illustrative.
I asked Liu Shi, "Have you gone down to see it?" ”
Liu Dongxi shook his head and said, "Not yet, you are dizzy here, I don't worry!" ”
I said in my heart that this is hypocritical, "I'm too tired to fall asleep, and it has nothing to do with fainting!" After a pause, he didn't bother to look at Liu Shi's unbelieving expression, "Pack up and go!" ”
Liu Dongxi nodded, indicating that there was nothing to clean up, and he was about to arch forward with his head stretched. I stopped him, "Don't worry! I'll go first! ”
I can't tell why I want to do this, maybe Liu is a little embarrassed to take the lead too much, maybe I just want to breathe fresh air earlier.
I took the logs on both sides and slowly lowered my body. The foot immediately touched the ground, and there was a tree hole underneath, but the opening was much larger, and I could see the mountains and forests outside, and I was itching, so I stepped out of the cave after helping Liu Shidong come down.
In front of you are countless large trees, but there are few other plants. All the trees are unimaginably thick, like a short wall. The ground was very soft humus, and at my feet lay a dried corpse and a pile of rags.
My heart was struck like lightning, my mouth was open but I couldn't speak, and my heart kept cursing. We have experienced all kinds of dangers, nine deaths, and when we thought we could finally escape, we found that we had turned around so much and turned back!
At this time, Liu Dongxin also came out of the hole, obviously recognized this place at a glance, and his face changed suddenly.
I tried to stabilize my mind, and finally got out of this huge psychological gap, but I didn't want to move a step again, and sat down on the ground with my legs limp.
There is such a saying in the legend of my hometown, if you see the tomb of the ownerless outside, you can be polite, but you must not worship, if you meet a hungry ghost, I am afraid that you will chase it to your house, you have to eat and drink, and you will be entangled to death. At this time, I suddenly remembered this statement, this old Taoist priest must have been trapped here and died of hunger and thirst, it was a standard type of starving ghost, this ghost probably regarded Liu as a filial son!
I know the nonsense of this idea, but I can't help but say it disgusting and disgusting. So I raised my face and said to Liu Shixi: "Let you recognize your ancestors indiscriminately, your ancestors miss you, and bring me over!" ”
Liu Shi's face was very ugly, but he still smiled reluctantly and said, "Maybe you took someone's sword and asked you to return it!" ”
I thought about it, the two of us have something to do with this old way, and the Dingguang Sword must be a treasure, and it must be more valued than Liu Shixi, a cheap filial son.
But at that time, we seemed to have invited this Taoist master back to the tree hole, why did this come out again?
When I thought of this, my heart shook and I looked up at Liu Dongxi, who was quite relaxed at this time, and squatted on the ground to rummage and pick up. I remember very clearly that it was Liu Dongxi who moved the dried corpse in at that time, has he forgotten it?
I called out to him, and Liu turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I saw that he didn't react, so I asked him, "Do you think there's anything wrong?" ”
When Liu Dongxi heard it, he said: "Yes! That's not right! If we knew that this road was so close and safe, why did we bother to go around in such a big circle! ”
I couldn't figure out if he was pretending to be stupid or if he really didn't remember, and I didn't bother to go around the bend with him, so I pointed to the pile of things on the ground and asked directly, "Did we put these things back in the tree hole at that time?" ”
Liu Dongxi froze for a moment, changed color and said: "Sure enough, what's the matter?" ”
I didn't seem to think about it, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly, what a shrewd and capable character Liu Dongxi was, after such torture, he was already a little overwhelmed.
I remembered the novels I used to read, and it seemed that it was mentioned that dead people are easy to become zombies when they come into contact with the breath of the living, so I asked Liu Dong: "Did this old way become a zombie and crawl out by itself?" ”
Liu Dongxi shook his head and said: "Impossible, as soon as the zombie says it, it is a lie, and when a person dies, he is dead, how can there be a reason that a dead person is more powerful than a living person?" Brother An, don't believe this! I have gone to the ground countless times, and the corpses I have seen are nothing more than dry corpses, wet corpses and bones. The zongzi and everything in those novels are all made up, and the zongzi we talk about in our industry refers to dead corpses, not living corpses! ”
I saw that he was a little excited, thinking that this guy has a strong sense of professional honor, and I really wanted to hear what theory he could say, but this was not a class after all, so I stopped: "Don't worry, let's talk about this later, let's talk about this first!" ”
Liu Shixi also realized that he was a little too excited, and said, "There may be some beast dragging it out!" ”
I think this explanation is relatively acceptable, similar to what I thought. Although I don't know what beasts will be in this place, but the previous experience of fighting with the giant python and Yonghe in this place still makes me feel uneasy, and I am afraid that a random one at this time will be a certain death.
I was about to have an in-depth discussion with Liu Dongxi on this issue, but I saw Liu Dongxi's eyes looking directly behind me, his face was frightened, and at the same time, a stinking smell came from behind me.
I secretly said that it was not good, it must be that kind of giant python! In this ghost forest, apart from this big tree and giant python, there are no other specialties?
The situation was very unfavorable to me, and I was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, a position that was neither conducive to my escape nor to my self-defense. What's more, I'm so tired that I don't have any strength in my body.
Liu Shixi glanced at me without any expression. But I saw something very complicated in his eyes.
I was just about to think about what he meant, when Liu Shixi threw a colorful gourd bottle with the word "longevity" written on it into my arms and whispered, "I will go into the tree hole when I count to five!" ”
I wonder why I count to five, don't I usually count to three?
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't understand it, but I realized that it didn't matter how many I counted, what was important was what Liu Dongxi was doing when he counted to five?
At this time, Liu Dongxi had already counted to three, and I could see that his feet were accumulating, and his center of gravity was slightly moving in the opposite direction of the tree hole!
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of scale armor hitting behind me, and I suddenly understood!
said that it was too late and that was fast, the "five" word did not fall, Liu Dongxi was about to run out as soon as he kicked the ground, I didn't know where the strength came from, hugged Liu Dongxi's waist, and threw Liu Dongxi into the tree hole violently.
The wind was blowing, and I leaned back, kneeling on the ground, and the python crossed in front of my eyes, and its huge body blocked the light, which would make me feel like lying on the top of the train and entering the tunnel.
If it was in a novel, I would have to put up the sword in my hand at this time and open the stomach of this python.
But reality is not fiction after all, and I am just an ordinary person, and in the midst of the chaos, I only remember rolling on the spot, and a pair of hands stretched out from the hole in the tree and dragged me in.
I sat up and looked out in horror as soon as I entered the hollow.
Countless jet-golden scale armor poured through the cave like a torrent of steel, and the dried corpse was crushed in an instant.
I seemed to feel Liu Shiwu, who was clinging to me, tremble a little, and handed him the gourd bottle that had been in my hand.
Liu took it and clenched it tightly.
