Chapter 169: Strange Situation

After Nalan left, Xingzhi walked to the window and watched Nalan get on a sedan chair made of flowers.

Then he drifted away surrounded by a group of maids.

Xingzhi is full of curiosity about this place.

Especially those humans who can walk on the head of a boa constrictor.

In the impression of Xingzhi, only horses, donkeys and other animals can carry people forward.

The use of snakes instead of footsteps was indeed the first time he had seen it.

It was still early, and Xingzhi walked out of the tavern.

Because I changed into clothes here, I didn't attract everyone's attention anymore.

He followed those people for a long time.

Finally stopped in front of an old man.

The old man's eyes didn't seem to be very good, and he couldn't see.

She was tending to a large, but uninspired, blue-black python.

I saw him walk forward, half-bend over, and say, "Old woman, this snake seems to be sick." ”

The old woman smiled and said, "You are a foreigner? ”

Xingzhi was stunned, he thought of what Nalan had told him just now.

Outsiders are not welcome here.

So he immediately vetoed: "No, I am a local."

It's just that...... I fell a few days ago and forgot something. ”

The old woman waved her hand and said, "You don't have to lie to me.

Old woman, I lived for more than two hundred years.

I can hear the voices of the people here.

You're not from here. How did you find here? ”

Seeing this, Xingzhi chuckled and said, "It's Xiaosheng who is playing tricks."

Don't hide it from her mother-in-law, Xiaosheng and the saint Nalan are friends.

I'm here for the sake of being a guest. ”

The old woman nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right."

Lying is useless with my old woman. ”

Xingzhi's eyes rolled and rolled, and finally he suddenly asked, "Old woman, did you just say that you ......

Lived for more than two hundred years? ”

The old woman nodded, got up suddenly, and staggered into the courtyard.

Xingzhi immediately followed, and then he saw the old woman sitting in the courtyard.

He motioned for the line to shut the door.

Only then did he smile and say, "Young man, you just met me."

People here are shy away from outsiders.

There are many things that they won't tell you even if you ask.

When it comes to age, we all live a long time.

I know that if you live past 100 years, you will already live to be long.

But here, at my age, I'm still young.

Our saint looks like a girl who doesn't know anything about the world.

But actually, she's in her thirties. ”

Xingzhi frowned slightly, and continued to ask, but saw that the old woman was sitting and asleep.

Xingzhi waited and waited, but saw that she still showed no signs of waking up.

I had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The next day, Nalan came to the tavern again.

Xingzhi heard from Nalan's mouth about the longevity here.

This place is called the Tart Bu tribe, and it is a small ethnic group.

People here never go out, and they don't allow strangers in.

According to Nalan, people here generally live a long life.

Not only that, but their snakes are also extremely long-lived.

A snake can grow horns in a thousand years, but no one here can live more than a thousand years.

At most, they can live to be about 400 years old.

So horned snakes are almost non-existent.

But the serpent of the patriarch Anasin Ja Dzolmu had horns.

It is also the only horned snake of the tart tribe.

As for the secret of their longevity, Nalan didn't say much.

Obviously, the people here are very cautious about longevity and the affairs of the tart tribe.

Such a legendary and mysterious place has completely aroused Xingzhi's curiosity.

The more he couldn't get the answers he wanted to know, the more he wanted them.

So, Xingzhi settled in the tart tribe.

This is two years.

In the past two years, he checked it himself and inadvertently asked about it in the market.

In short, the scattered surprise also allowed him to piece together some answers.

The tart tribe has a very important tradition, and that is to listen to sacrifices.

On the body of the patriarch there was a black bead.

That bead is soaked in blood every year.

And that blood is not human blood, pig blood, cow blood.

It's the blood of a snake, and it must be the blood of an old snake that is more than fifty years old.

The side trough on the altar is responsible for the blood of snakes.

In the middle of the pattern is the black beads.

But what is surprising is that when the snakes are drained of blood, the owners of the snakes will also die.

But in a sense, they will reappear at a different age.

At that time, when the deeds summed up these things.

His face turned pale, and it was obvious that this was beyond the scope of an ordinary person's cognition.

On the third day after reaching this conclusion, he left the tart tribe.

When the matter came to this, Gu Liusheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Next to them are Sun Xiaoan and Wu Canbin.

Old Guide Yu Hong and Da Jiang sat behind him.

Probably because of the rope, they couldn't get close to Gu Liusheng together.

Sun Xiaoan asked in a low voice, "What did you see?" ”

Gu Liusheng's eyes flashed, according to the development of things, in the end, the Tart Bu clan was destroyed by Emperor Qi.

But what he saw was that Xingzhi should have been the first to learn about the longevity of the tart tribe.

Thinking of this, Gu Liusheng couldn't help but tremble violently a few times.

What happened next, he couldn't imagine.

Gu Liusheng didn't look away, there was some different emotion in his eyes.

Then he said, "I didn't see anything."

It's just that the head is buzzing, and many pictures flash by, and you can't see it really. ”

Sun Xiaoan was stunned, but still didn't continue to ask.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Gu Liusheng continue: "Hurry up, don't delay time."

Gotta get to that town as soon as possible. ”

Yu Hong also thought so, after all, they came in to save people.

There really isn't a need to wait so long in front of these buildings.

Wu Canbin was still the same as before, with his eyes closed, slowly moving forward.

Gu Liusheng followed, but his mind was a little chaotic.

Many times, Wu Canbin failed to remind him in time when there were steps under his feet.

This also caused Wu Canbin to open his eyes frequently, and then they fell into that kind of dead cycle again.

Sun Xiaoan's expression tightened, and he subconsciously guessed.

Gu Liusheng saw something just now.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make Gu Liusheng, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly become this absent-minded appearance.

In the end, Yu Hong couldn't stand it and exchanged positions with Gu Liusheng.

But this time the strange thing is that even Wu Canbin walked with his eyes completely closed.

But they still can't get out of that circular situation.

For the first time, there was a hint of fear in everyone's expressions.

Behind him, Da Jiang suddenly exclaimed, "Candle...... The candle was blown out. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned around and saw a southeast corner not far behind Da Jiang at this moment.

A candle was still smoking.

Gu Liusheng's brows tightened, and then he stepped forward and re-lit the candle.

But I saw that the flame of the candle was that kind of cyan.

It's not the yellow color that a normal candle light can emit.

The candle flickered a few times, then went out instantly.

The old guide's eyes immediately widened in horror and said, "The ghost blows out the lamp, the ghost blows out the lamp." ”

Everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Then I saw Wu Canbin suddenly say: "Around the corner, a black shadow flashed around the corner just now." ”

As soon as Wu Canbin said this, everyone subconsciously shrank into a ball

Gu Liusheng immediately said: "Untie the ropes."

Quick, if something happens in a moment, remember to keep your head forward, and never look back. ”

Immediately after, everyone panicked and untied the ropes on their bodies.

Then I heard Gu Liusheng say, "Quick, run forward, don't look back." ”

As a result, the six of them were like arrows from Xuan in an instant.

Rushed out.

Sun Xiao'an's foot strength is not comparable to those men.

Gu Liusheng pulled her and was quickly thrown to the back by those people.

Immediately after that, they heard "bang, bang" behind them, like the sound of a heavy object hitting the wall.

Slowly, rhythmically, he followed behind them.

The next moment, I saw two forks in the road not far away.

At this time, there were no other figures in front of them.

Suddenly there was a lot of silence all around.

Gu Liusheng pulled Sun Xiaoan and followed the direction directly without thinking.

Turn into the fork in the road on the left.

The next moment, the voice behind him suddenly disappeared.

But at the same time, Gu Liusheng and Sun Xiao'an had disappeared from their side.

There were only the two of them left in the big space.

It's really weird here, maybe that's why Yu Hong and the others ran away at that time.

The road here doesn't seem to be restricted by normal rules.

A lot of the roads are more like they appear randomly.

Gu Liusheng looked around, suddenly frowned and said, "We can't go back." ”

Sun Xiaoan turned around in a panic, and then saw it.

The road behind them was gone.

It was pitch black behind him, but it was certain that there was an extra wall there.

To be exact, there should be an extra mountain.

The two men looked at each other.

Then suddenly a series of sounds were heard.

"Da Jiang, hurry, run away."

"What to do, the voice is coming again."

……

The above seems to be a conversation between Yu Hong and Da Jiang.

Gu Liusheng was stunned, and then carefully leaned on the stone wall and listened.

But there was no more sound.

Sun Xiao'an said with a little nervousness in his voice: "Will it ......

Let's move on!

Stopping here is not an option. ”

Gu Liusheng nodded, and then continued to walk towards the dark place in front of him.

They walked for about ten minutes before they saw the fork in the road again.

Sun Xiao'an, who was careful, found that the fork in the road was exactly the same as the fork they had taken before.

Apparently, they seem to be having the same problem again.

This time, Gu Liusheng chose another intersection.

The road is strange, there are no flowers and plants everywhere.

It can be said that it is a bare and lifeless situation.

But strangely, the path they chose turned out to be covered with greenery at the base of the mountain wall.

They had never seen that plant before.

But the foliage alone is very beautiful.

After a long time, Gu Liusheng suddenly frowned and said, "No, you can't choose this path." ”

Sun Xiaoan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Gu Liusheng looked around, but when he turned around, something unexpected still happened.

The road behind them was gone.

Gu Liusheng said in a low voice: "There is a saying in the Buddhist language, on both sides of the netherworld, countless ghost flowers have grown.

People like to call it the other side flower, and where it exists, it symbolizes death.

This is the path of the underworld, and it is also the path of death.

Xiaoan, we chose the wrong path. ”

When Sun Xiaoan heard this, he suddenly frowned and said, "Then what if we continue to move forward?"

Isn't it said to be circular? ”

Speaking of this, Gu Liusheng's expression tightened even more.

Then he said, "I'm afraid, I am afraid that it is deliberately trying to lead us down this path? ”

Sun Xiaoan was silent, Gu Liusheng's guess was well-founded.

They hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to continue walking.

This time they didn't go back to the original fork in the road.

They don't have a choice.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, no matter which of the two paths you choose, the result is actually the same.

If they keep choosing that one, they have to accept the endless cycle.

I chose this ...... At least there are some unknown possibilities.

In comparison, the infinite loop of the road seems even more hopeless.

The two of them walked along the green grass.

The path seemed really long, as if it really led to the Netherworld.

The hands of the two of them were so tight that Sun Xiaoan even felt that his fingers were clenched.

They followed the path until a huge cave appeared in front of them.

That's when they stopped.

Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Gu Liusheng did not hesitate, and directly pulled Sun Xiaoan into it

This was followed by another extremely dreary journey.

Walking through the long, dark cave, they were greeted by a sight.

It really seems to be beyond their imagination.

What kind of place is that?

Sun Xiao'an didn't think it was some kind of netherworld death.

Instead, she thinks it's a wonderland.

Perhaps the whole country could not have imagined that there was no man's land in the entire Kunlun Mountains.

Far away, in the hinterland, there is such a place in the mysterious mountain.

It was the size of a basketball court.

The scene inside is like a secret place of mythology and legend.

Absolutely beautiful, those strange flowers and plants, those flowers, birds, insects and fish, those strange stones and rivers.

It really gives people the feeling of being in a fairyland

Gu Liusheng looked at everything here, and inexplicably felt very similar.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember what the resemblance was.

Sun Xiao'an followed a path and slowly entered the environment of flowers, birds, insects and fish.

At this time, Gu Liusheng suddenly said: "Xiao'an, listen, there seems to be some sound." ”

When Sun Xiaoan heard this, he also quieted down, so the next moment he heard a series of conversations again.

"No, I can't run, Brother Hong......

If we continue like this, we will all be exhausted. ”

"If you can't run, you have to run, do you want to die?"

There was another rapid gasp.

Listening to the dialogue should be Da Jiang and Yu Hong's.

Sun Xiaoan pointed to the top of his head and said, "It seems to be ......

On top? ”

Gu Liusheng nodded, and then said, "If they are on top......

In other words, there is actually some mechanism running inside the mountain.

This explains why we are stuck in a kind of endless loop. ”

Sun Xiaoan suddenly realized.

Gu Liusheng was right, first of all, they ran forward from one place together.

Although they fell on Yu Hong at a distance.

But this distance is simply not possible to make those people disappear completely.

Unless there's some mechanism here, maybe it's always working.

Or maybe it will start working under certain circumstances.

For example, when outsiders break in.
