Chapter 22: The Ghost of the Old Building (14)
The tips of Qi Zhen's fingers and I touched the spirit stone almost at the same time, and the red thread wrapped around the spirit stone was wet, flashing an unusually bright red color under the reflection of white light, and a large drop of blood was slowly dripping down from the corner of the spirit stone. It was my blood, which had just flowed from the corners of my mouth and dripped onto the spirit stone and red thread on my chest. Seeing that the drop of blood was about to drip to the ground, Qi Zhen and I looked at each other, but found that a touch of despair and pain flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes became blood-red, just like the drop of blood falling from the spirit stone...... Dazzling!
I had a gut feeling that something big had happened, but I had no idea what it was or what to do. I just stared blankly at Qi Zhen's blood-red eyes, and a very strange and seemingly familiar feeling came to my heart. The large drop of blood finally landed on the hard ground, and surprisingly, it did not shatter into smaller beads of blood and splatter in all directions, but lay quietly like a ruby set in the ground. Then, he rolled quickly, rolled to the feet of "Teacher Wang", flicked upward, and disappeared.
I was stunned, because I could see clearly that it was not seeping into the ground, but more like it was evaporating. At this time, the white light of the spirit stone suddenly dimmed, as if it was injured, and its light turned into a strange dark red, and everything around it was drowned out by this dark red. It made a strange noise, as if an angry beast was howling, roaring, trying to tear everything apart.
My hand shook, and my fingers slipped off the spirit stone, this dark red reminded me of the "abandoned garden" and remembered ...... Sun Anning! I subconsciously stepped back, the spirit stone, the spirit stone seemed to be out of control again, what would its unstable but powerful power destroy? Backlash? But now, its owner is me, and it will ...... What about me?
"Danger! Come here, little star! Chang Dao Chang and Chang Qing called me anxiously behind me.
Yes, I know. In front of me, the dark red light of the spirit stone became more and more vigorous, and the "Teacher Wang" waving countless "arms" and covering in a miserable green body became more and more hideous. However, Qi Zhen in the light and shadow was bleeding from his neck, and the hand holding the spirit stone was also dripping blood at some point, and the blood beads fell to the ground, and the sound of "pop, pop" was so clear that it made me tremble. His eyes were shining, looking at the spirit stone, the blood-red glow was so cold, but it was like two clusters of flames, the flames that burned everything in hell!
Something precious I'm about to lose! There was a voice ringing in my heart. What is it? Is it a spirit stone? Still is...... Qi Zhen?
No, I don't want to lose both!
I resolutely rushed forward, I want to snatch back the spirit stone, and I also want to save Qi Zhen!
As if sensing my heart, Qi Zhen turned his head slightly and smiled at me, his expression turned out to be gentleness that I had never seen before, and the strange and familiar feeling came rushing again. What's wrong? I hesitated for a moment, then I tripped over something and fell to the ground. There was no pain as expected, and someone hugged me. As soon as I looked up, it was Qi Zhen! He let go of the hand that had been holding the spirit stone.
"Haha! Spirit Stone ...... The spirit stone finally belongs to me! The triumphant and rampant voice of "Teacher Wang" echoed in the air with the strange and terrifying sound of the spirit stone. He carefully held the spirit stone in front of his eyes, and the dark red light was projected on his miserable green and distorted face, blue and red, like a devil. His mouth suddenly opened, like a zipper, constantly cracking to both sides, what is called "bloody mouth", as long as you see the situation at this time, you will definitely have the most intuitive understanding. His face was dripping with green slime, which was already disgusting enough, but now because his mouth was getting bigger and bigger, the skin on his face was like a torn piece of paper, gradually peeling off, revealing not flesh and blood, but black-green, bumpy, bark-like things!
"Spirits! So you're a ghost! Chang Daochang suddenly realized.
"Hey, Chang Dao Chang, how do you know that his name is Wang Liang? …… Did you know him before? Ge Hong asked strangely.
"Huh? Is his name really Wang Liang? Xu Shan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Ge Hong, how do you know?" ”
"What's so strange! I don't know the names of any of the teachers in the school? Ge Hong rolled her eyes.
"It's still 'good', I think it's a big 'bad'! …… Chang Dao Chang, do you know this...... Monster? Their curiosity temporarily overcame their fear, and they didn't even care about the "tree vines" tied to their bodies, and asked with great interest.
"Alas, it's 'Dragon', not 'Wang Liang'! Spirits, mountain spirits, and monsters of wood and stone! That is, youkai! Chang Qing looked at me and Qi Zhen, his expression was very bitter, and he immediately turned his head to look at Chang Daochang, "Uncle, it seems that it is a tree spirit vine monster!" “
"Hmph, so you know what to do with it!" Chang Dao stretched out his hand, and the entangled sword suddenly softened, like a snake, twisting from side to side flexibly, breaking free from the entanglement of the "tree vine" and flying back into the master's hand. Chang Daochang kept taking out a talisman from the yellow cloth bag he was carrying, slashed it on the sword, and said a few words silently, and the talisman immediately melted on the sword like snow. Chang Dao pointed and poked, the sword flew to Ge Hong and Xu Shan's side, slashed down, bursting out a string of dazzling firelight, after the "crackling" sound, the "tree vines" wrapped around them quickly broke and withered, and the rest retracted in panic like an electric shock.
"He", who revealed his true face, became angry, except for the hand that held the spirit stone, all the other "arms" stretched out and became sharp, like spikes, shining green light to stab at us.
Chang Dao Chang smiled coldly, flicked his middle finger on the sword, and the sword flew into the air, turning into a golden dragon spitting flames! The golden dragon's eyes were like lightning, its bearded claws were furious, and with a low thunderclap, flames erupted from its gaping mouth. Those deformed "arms", like moths to a fire, were thrown into this beautiful flame, and in an instant, withered, charred, and dissipated into flying ashes.
"He" rattled in his throat, and a terrifying fierce light flashed in his green eyes staring at Chang Daochang, "he" suddenly took a few big steps back, his body was suddenly a lot shorter, but he was a big circle, whether it was compared to a bucket or a tree stump, it was more appropriate than a person, in short, it was even less human. "He" smiled strangely, his head twisted to the side, and a thick, green tongue came out of the mouth that was almost as big as a basin, and stretched it forward, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached out for nearly seven or eight meters. We are all directly opposite "him", what is "he" tongue sticking out to the side? We were puzzled, and even Chang Dao Chang was stunned.
"He" tongue stretched out ten meters away, and suddenly he froze down, the tip of his tongue split in half, and quickly rolled up two things on the ground and fell back.
"Ahh It's Ye Fei and Shao Qing! Ge Hong and Xu Shan exclaimed in unison.
Chang Dao let out a loud shout, and hurriedly pointed with his hand, and the golden dragon that stopped in mid-air spit out a string of flames when he heard the sound, shooting towards the forked green tongue. Seeing that the flames were about to touch the target, the green tongue made a "pounce" sound, and a large puddle of viscous green liquid gushed out of the tongue, extinguishing the flames. The golden dragon roared, but before it could breathe flames again, the green tongue had already swept the corpses of Ye Fei and Shao Qing into "his" big mouth one by one.
We looked at the monster in front of us in horror and inexplicably, "he" swallowed Ye Fei and Shao Qing into their stomachs in this way, and even left a single trace of clothes and shoes. "His" belly immediately swelled like a large round ball, and it rose and fell with a terrible "gurgling" sound. After a few moments, "his" stomach was deflated. "He" looked very satisfied, and his green tongue licked up and down in the bloody mouth, as if he had just eaten a delicious meal.
"I ...... I finally know what those people are...... Missing! Chang Qing gritted his teeth and said.
"Really...... It's so pathetic! Ge Hong smiled bitterly.
"Ye Fei, Shao Qing! Oh my God, he would be ......" Xu Shan remembered the figure of Shao Qing running over desperately to reach out and pull her when he saw them falling, and remembered the shy smile he had when he looked at him, and tears flowed down.
At this moment, "his" eyes turned to me and Qi Zhen, and glanced at us cruelly and proudly, and "he" used the remaining "arm" to grasp the spirit stone fiercely and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Spirit Stone! It's going to swallow the spirit stone! I shook Qi Zhen's arm in shock, "Quick, go and grab the spirit stone back!" ”
"You really ...... Do you want spirit stones? There was a whisper that bordered on a sigh.
"Absolutely! I can't live without it! I blurted out without the slightest hesitation or reflection.
“…… Good. I'll go! …… Don't you ...... Forget me! Qi Zhen's tone was even more weird, it seemed that he had reached a desperate situation, and he couldn't turn back once he went! He let go of me at once, and pounced on the spirit stone at a speed he had never seen before. At the same time, the monster's green tongue stretched out again, and it also rolled towards Qi Zhen.
"Qi Zhen, danger!" I came to my senses and hurriedly reached out to pull him. But it's too late!
At the same time as his hand grasped the spirit stone, the green tongue also wrapped around him like a poisonous snake, dense, tight, probably as long as it retracted it forcefully, it could strangle his body. I stood on the spot with a white face, my outstretched left hand stopped in the air at a loss, but I was silent. I only faintly heard a thunderous roar overhead, followed by an overwhelming burst of brilliant fire. Fire burns wood, wood turns to ash, this is the law that all things follow. So, no matter what kind of wood it is, even if it is a tree spirit vine monster that encounters fire, or the five thunder real fire, how can it not be afraid? Retreat, dodge, but the sky is full of flames, and there is only one target-—— the original form of the dragon! Just a little flame, the green tongue instantly bloomed like a red plum, and then the whole body flew like a fire dragon. My heart sank to the ground, Qi Zhen's body was full of dazzling sparks, and his clothes were on fire in several places, but he still stubbornly clutched the spirit stone, trying to snatch it from the monster's tightly held hands.
"Qi Zhen, roll on the ground and put out the fire!" Changqing shouted anxiously. He heard Chang Qing's shout, just shook his head, and continued to grab the spirit stone to regain it.
The air around them became scorching due to the flames, and the burning laundry smelled of burning. The dragon almost became a fireball, and Qi Zhen was also surrounded by fire. The spirit stone was scorched with blood and flames, and the sound had turned into a roar, and the dark red terrifying light rolled like the waves of the sea. It's going berserk! The accumulation of violent aura increased its strength dramatically, and it was like a balloon that blew bigger and bigger, inflating and inflating again...... With the help of the Five Thunder True Fire, the Spirit Stone once again demonstrated its power! I was horrified to see that the dark red light of the spirit stone overshadowed the flames and swept through the entire space! The sprite that bore the brunt of the attack, with only a desperate howl, was blown into countless tiny particles, then disappeared in the red waves, steamed in the flames, and soon disappeared without a trace. The hard ground was like a soft piece of tofu, which turned into powder in an instant. Chang Dao Chang hurriedly recited the incantation, and the golden dragon hovering in mid-air used the golden light on his body to form a semicircular enchantment, protecting the others.
I, who was only two steps away from the barrier, ignored their shouts behind me, and stretched out my hand in vain, and in front of me was Qi Zhen, who was like a phoenix in the flames, smiling with satisfaction, walking towards me.
Tears blurred my vision, and in the tears, the familiar figure with bright and colorful sparks, getting closer and closer; It's just that I feel sadly that he is getting farther and farther away from the world. The hazy figure stretched out his hand to me, and I immediately grabbed it tightly, the hard edges and corners poked me, and as soon as I lowered my head, there was only a spirit stone left in my hand! The figure was strangely fading, dissipating like a light smoke, and the scorching waves were rushing to the face, except for the last whisper of the wind: "Don't...... Forget me! ”
My heart seems to have been slashed by a sharp blade, and in my memory, it was also this firelight in the sky, Sun Anning left the spirit stone and left me; Now, there is another person who left the spirit stone and left me!
The spirit stone was excitedly circulating a dark red light in my hand, the light was so intense, dazzling, it seemed that the whole space was infected, following this light to jump, spin, and spin again, everything old collapsed, and the ruthless force hit like an earthquake and a tsunami, irresistible! My last clear consciousness was: Qi Zhen is gone! He left me forever!
