Chapter 12: Rain of Blood
"Want to rob? Don't regret it! ”
When the old man saw that I wanted to forcibly hold the Taishi chair and leave, he showed a strange smile.
I ignore him, the Taishi chair is in my hand, you old man can help me.
There was thunder in my ears, and the rain clouds covered my head, but I refused to vent a drop of rain, only to feel that the air was cold and stuffy, which made people breathless.
The old man looked up at the sky, unflustered, and said, "Even if you snatch the Taishi chair, do you have the life to walk out of the uninhabited village?" ”
I knew he must have been prepared for that, and there might be a terrible ghost waiting for me outside.
Still, I'm leaving.
Otherwise, what are you doing in the courtyard, talking about life with a stinky old man?
I didn't say anything else, I hugged the Taishi chair and turned around and ran.
The old man didn't stop him, which was very surprising.
Out of the broken door, the sweltering sky finally spoke.
All of a sudden, the downpour was cathartic like a water pipe.
Looking down, the low-lying pits on the ground were covered with red rain......
Red!
It wasn't ordinary rain, it was blood rain.
I was in the doorway.
Looking back, the old man lit the cigarette I gave him and looked at me with a smile.
Back into the yard?
Don't be kidding, I have half my life in the Taishi chair in my hand, as long as I can go to the entrance of the village and give it to Li Yu, I have a high chance of becoming a complete person again, otherwise, God knows what evil will happen.
Step and get out! The rain of blood is nothing, and it won't drown me.
With every step, the smell of blood drilled into my nose.
After walking for some distance, I felt breathless, physically and mentally exhausted, and even a little dizzy.
It may be that the blood rain thins the oxygen in the air, resulting in a lack of oxygen.
I was dizzy with my head, and I leaned unconsciously against the wall next to me.
At this time, a young man's voice shouted, "Don't lean on my face! ”
I was quickened, stood up straight, and turned my head to see that the faces on the walls were as clear as real people.
This is a ghost face, not the art of light and shadow, Li Yu explained.
This is true on one side of the wall, and the same is true on the other side.
The road in the uninhabited village is narrow, and I know it all too well.
The two walls were like two slices of bread, sandwiching me in the middle, close at hand.
If you move your body for half a minute, you will be face to face with them.
There were ghosts on both sides looking at me, and there were pools of blood on the ground.
I closed my eyes, held my breath, and wanted to ignore all of this and rush out.
But just as he was about to move on, he seemed to have tripped over something under his feet.
I fell to the ground without opening my eyes, got up in the darkness and continued to run as hard as I could.
After running for a long time, I felt that I should run out of the uninhabited village, and when I opened my eyes, I was still in the same place.
I almost forgot, the first time I came, there was a ghost hitting the wall, and now it's normal to repeat the old tricks.
It's over now, what if you can't get out?
I am beginning to regret recklessly snatching the Taishi chair now, I should leave first and discuss countermeasures with Li Yu.
In desperation, I had more and more difficulty breathing, and I was about to suffocate.
I sat down on the ground, looking down at the pool of blood in front of me, and heard the ghosts on the walls on both sides laughing, as if they were laughing specifically at me.
I covered my ears and buried my head in the ground, like an ostrich.
I don't know how long it took, but the blood rain seemed to stop, and the ghost face stopped laughing.
"You hold an umbrella, I beg Shen Lao to spare his life."
The voice is familiar, as if it is ...... Yan Xiaowang!
I opened my eyes and looked up to see Yan Xiaowang handing Li Yu a white oil-paper umbrella, and then galloping away in the direction of the old man's house.
Li Yu held an umbrella, covered me and her underneath, helped me up with his other hand, and explained: "This kind of blood rain has a serious corrosive effect, it is drenched too much, and the clothes do not react, but it can penetrate into the skin and invade the human body's functions. If we were one step late, you would probably die from the failure of all parts of your body. ”
I felt a cold sweat break out when I heard this, but fortunately they arrived just in time to let me pick up the only half life I had.
However, I was curious, and unconsciously asked, "Why are you with Yan Xiaowang?" ”
Li Yu replied calmly: "When he saw me at the entrance of the village, it directly showed that your other half of life was not in his hands, and he also wanted to help you." Although I was skeptical, we saw the rain of blood in the sky and knew that something was wrong, so we didn't care about anything else, and went into the village with him to look for you. You too, too impulsive, I just asked you to enter the village to determine the location, and you actually dared to go over alone to grab Shen Lao's things. At the very least, you have to discuss it with me before making a decision! ”
"Shen Lao? You mean the old man? Who the hell is he? ”
"This ......"
Li Yu didn't answer immediately, but handed me the umbrella and drew a few talismans and pasted them on the wall next to him before continuing: "He is a head lowering master, we can't afford to mess with him." ”
"Can't be provoked?"
Hearing these three words, my heart was half cold.
If you can't provoke me, don't you let me die!
That's not right!
The Taishi chair is already in my hands.
I hurriedly lifted the Taishi chair and presented it to Li Yu.
And Li Yu frowned coldly and said, "There is no soul in the Taishi chair anymore, this chair is just an ornament, useless." ”
What the!
It took me a long time to snatch back a useless broken chair.
The rain of blood in the sky gradually became smaller until it stopped.
Li Yu took the oil-paper umbrella, threw the Taishi chair aside, and then gestured to me and said, "Go!" Let's go over and see how Yan Xiaowang and Shen Lao are discussing. ”
When I came to Shen's old house, I happened to see Yan Xiaowang staring at Shen Lao with a panicked face, and asked, "Is there really no other way?" ”
Shen Lao smiled evilly and said, "It's better to let him fend for himself, although this kind of person is rare in a thousand years, it won't make us spend so much effort." You say, isn't it? ”
Yan Xiaowang hesitated for a long time before reluctantly answering: "Okay, you can rest, I won't bother." ”
When he turned to see us, he looked frustrated and said, "Let's go first." ”
Li Yu and I were very obedient and walked out with Yan Xiaowang.
On the way, I couldn't bear the torment in my heart, and asked eagerly: "Is my half life in the hands of Shen Lao?" ”
Yan Xiaowang glanced at me, then twisted his head to the other side and said, "The other half of your soul should not be in his hands. ”
"Don't, I'm sure!"
I'm in a hurry, that's my half life, not someone else's.
Yan Xiaowang also understood my feelings, and pointed to the village mouth and said, "In this way, let's summon spirits and see if we can bring back your other half life." ”
I don't understand, but it sounds like it works.
And Li Yu stepped in front of Yan Xiaowang and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will also lose half of his life?" What's more, we are not sure if the other half of life is really in Shen Lao's hands. ”
Yan Xiaowang smiled: "Then you just doubt me." ”
"Yes!"
Li Yu replied unabashedly.
Yan Xiaowang sighed and said, "It's the same in my hands!" You summon a soul for him, whether it is in Shen Lao's hands or my hands, as long as there is half his life within a radius of a hundred miles, he can summon him. ”
"How can I be sure that you won't be ghostly during the conjuring?"
"Little girl, you should know. If something goes wrong during the conjuring process, it will make him lose his soul. Lin Tianyi's soul is rare in a thousand years, and it's too late for me to protect him, but I don't want to end up empty. Moreover, if you doubt me, I doubt you! Who are you? Why risk death to help him, and what is your purpose? ”
Yan Xiaowang asked rhetorically, and suddenly asked me to turn on a lamp.
He was right, even if Li Yu had a client, she didn't mention who it was.
When I think about it, no one knows where I am, and no one will come out to help me for no reason.
I swept Li Yu with a suspicious gaze, then looked at Yan Xiaowang, and finally looked back at the uninhabited village.
Three people, what their purpose is, which one really wants to help me, and which one wants to harm me, I don't know.
There is a more important question, what is my soul that is rare in a thousand years?
I wanted to ask about it, but there was already a slight flush on the side of the mountain in the distance.
It was almost dawn, Yan Xiaowang looked at me and said, "Whether you want to summon spirits or not, let him decide for himself." We still have half an hour, and after that, we won't be able to summon spirits. ”
Li Yu still held an objection, and directly contradicted Yan Xiaowang's words, and asked, "What half an hour, can't you come tomorrow?" ”
"No! During the day today, Shen Lao is going to move out. ”
Saying this, Li Yu was speechless.
If Shen Lao leaves the uninhabited village, he will also take my half-life with him, and at that time, he will have to find Shen Lao first before he can find my half-life again.
To put it simply, it will be even more difficult to find half of my life at dawn.
