Chapter 56: The Way of the Devil
The wind lifted the black hair on Shen Lingjun's shoulders, and she always wore her usual smile, as if she hadn't heard or seen anything.
A fist-sized poisonous scorpion rushed out of Tang Tang's body and crawled onto the little toad's arm, his whole body trembled like chaff in fright, tears and snot came out together, and he kowtowed desperately.
"Auntie, the king, the female king, what I said is true, I don't dare to deceive half a sentence, I swear, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, and I will not die well......"
Tang Tang looked sideways at Shen Lingjun, who gave her a look, and Tang Tang hooked his fingers: "Xiao Zi, come back." ”
The little toad swept until a certain 'behemoth' was gone, and then raised his head tremblingly, his heart beating as if it was not his own, which scared him a lot.
Where did the little ancestor come from, he would rather not have a baby now, and he would not dare to offend the two calamity stars in front of him.
"Don't worry, Xiaozi is the most obedient, but it's just a joke with you." Shen Lingjun smiled lightly, and her words were also fluttering, as if Xiao Zi was not a poisonous scorpion in her mouth, but a fly and mosquito.
The little toad laughed more ugly than crying: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
He also saw that now it is a man-made knife and I am a fish and meat, and there is no position to talk about conditions at all!
The little toad took a deep breath, with a pale face, and said, "What the woman said just now is right, the treasure cave is indeed a bit evil. ”
"After calming down, I knew that I couldn't take out all the treasures for a while, and I was afraid that those mysterious people would suddenly come out, so I decided to take out two inconspicuous things first, one is that it is easy to cause trouble if the large ones are brought out, and the other is that I think there are so many things inside, and I can take two of them casually, and those people will not be able to see them even if they come back."
"When I turn back and get out of this place, I will make a mark again, and come back when I am done looking for an opportunity, and take advantage of this period of time to buy something outside, and prepare to take the treasure and leave Changzhou City."
Shen Lingjun's eyes were dark, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile with deep meaning, not to mention, this little toad was a little scheming, and he was thoughtful.
As a bandit and bandit who accidentally took two valuable pieces to sell the stolen goods, it will not arouse suspicion, after all, the robber has a special interface in the black market, but if there are too many things, it must be coveted by some people, he can endure a room of treasures, only take two, it can be seen that his mind is very deep, and he can calm down.
Again, he relied on the money from the sale of those two pieces to take care of everything, and when the time came, he took the things and left Changzhou, not only because he was afraid of the mysterious person in his mouth, but also to avoid other thieves from knowing about things, whether it was out of the fear of leaking secrets, or selfishness, he was an extremely careful and thoughtful person.
"When I left, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find the exit, but somehow, I was in a trance, and I came to the entrance of the cave, and it was a little cloudy at that time, and somehow, I suddenly felt a panic." The little toad touched the position of the heart, and his expression was a little complicated.
"I looked up sharply, and I saw that the left side of the cave door was blood-red, my piercing eyes hurt, and even my brain was like being pricked by a needle, and it didn't ease up for a long time."
Tang Tang and Shen Ling both glanced at each other.
Okay, it feels like telling a story.
Shen Lingjun touched his nose and motioned for Tang Tang to continue listening to see what he had to say.
"I don't know how long it took, but after my head no longer hurt, I found that it was not blood, but red handwriting, and it exuded a faint fragrance.
The little toad's eyes showed a little intoxication, and he seemed to miss that feeling a little.
Shen Lingjun frowned slightly, his clear black eyes were as clear as water, and his fingers were rhythmically dotted on the hilt of the knife, and his jade-colored face was contemplative.
She has had a lot of contact with Ye Qingzhi, although she doesn't understand pharmacology, she knows a lot of things that can cause people to hallucinate, sometimes it is not a simple drug, it may be something that can be touched by various senses, such as visual vision, ear hearing, and smell......
The situation that the little toad said made her suspect that there might be something wrong with the handwriting, and the bigger problem was the entire treasure cave, which was too empty and mysterious, like a mirage.
Of course, all of this has to be based on the fact that what the little toad says is the truth.
"What's on it?" Tang Tang Qingyue's voice sounded in Shen Lingjun's ears, like a crystal wind chime playing in the wind, clean and crisp, and his voice was smiling, as if mocking, "Could it be that I opened this hole and left it to buy road money?" ”
The little toad's eyelids twitched, and he shook his head left and right: "This is not true." ”
Tang Tang fingers tugged at a peach petal and blinked, ah, guessed wrong.
"That line of words is ......" The little toad's voice was ethereal, with an inexplicable caution in his expression, and a caution to treat the gods who did not dare to offend, "The devil is born in the heart, the devil drives my body, the laws of the world, only the nine bloods." ”
"What's that?" Tang Tang looked at the little toad.
"I don't know ......" The little toad shuddered for no reason when he thought of that sentence, and when he saw it, he felt that his body was shrouded in a kind of coldness, and the soles of his feet seemed to have taken root, he couldn't walk, he couldn't move, his eyes were all about that line, as if he would roll, and the coming and going flashed in his mind.
It makes people feel inexplicable, want to follow, and admire!
The little toad shook his head: "It's very evil." ”
Shen Lingjun twisted his fingers, his black eyes drooped slightly, his red lips opened and closed, and he gently spit out a word: "Demon ......"
"And!" The little toad didn't know what to think of suddenly, his body sat upright, and his expression became solemn, "On the stone wall below that line of words, there is a line of small characters engraved on it, which read-
The treasures here are owned by the dark forces, and they must not be coveted in vain, otherwise they will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao and will not be able to die well! ”
"Red font too?"
"No, it's just an ordinary kind that looks like it's carved out of stone, and the handwriting is not deep, if I didn't happen to fall and hold on to a stone wall, I guess I wouldn't be able to see it."
There is also a little toad who doesn't know how to say, when he saw the line of blood-colored font, his heart stopped beating and stopped, and all kinds of emotions pressed over, very strange feeling, but after reading the small words below, it had no effect.
"What is the dark power?" Tang Tang stretched out his hand and looked back and forth, "Could it be...... Magic used by goblins? ”
Shen Lingjun pointed a little toad on his finger: "You didn't bring anything out." ”
The little toad was stunned for a moment, not knowing how the other party guessed it, and a look of great admiration appeared on his face.
"Idiot!" Tang Tang seemed to see through his thoughts, pursed his lips, and glanced at him with disdain: "Otherwise, what kind of robbery will you rob." ”
The little toad suddenly realized, wiped the sweat droplets on his forehead that appeared at some point, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
"However, since you have touched the treasure cave, you are willing not to bring two pieces out, which will surprise me." Shen Lingjun hooked his lips and chuckled, scattering in the wind with the words.
"Alas...... Don't hide it from the two heroines, it's not that I don't want to, but ......" The little toad looked up at the sky in front of him, the white clouds covered the sun, and the clear sky suddenly darkened.
He sighed, as if he regretted it and was a little afraid: "When we do this, our heads are pinned to the waistband of our trousers, what kind of curse, monster, if you want to ask me if I am afraid, I must be afraid, but compared to hunger, despair, living a life without tomorrow day after day, these are nothing." ”
When he said this, the originally thin little toad, who looked ugly like a monkey, actually showed a kind of open-mindedness because of the sadness and openness in his tone, which added a bit of brilliance to his body, and the whole person radiated a different style.
Shen Lingjun looked at him for a moment and nodded: "That's true." ”
There is nothing more frightening than a life without hope.
"I haven't put things back in the cave." The little toad clenched his hands into fists, and his whole body was a little tense, "I was thinking, fight hard, even if you are really cursed and can't die well, Lao Tzu has to enjoy it one last time and be a real person!" ”
"Not bad!"
Tang Tang is almost about to applaud him, people live in the world, they must not be free and easy, chic and free, do what they want to do, what is the point of living.
There is no good or bad in the concept of Tang Tang, there is no right or wrong, some just do what they want and do it spontaneously.
If she is in a good mood, it doesn't matter if she gives you all the money on her body, but if she is in a bad mood, it is the little lady who is bullied by the bully who kneels and begs you for help, she will also kick away and walk her Yangguan Road.
In Nan Qifeng's words, what does it matter to me about the life and death of others, mortal things, I am happy alone!
"What happened next?" Shen Lingjun's dark eyes were like sparkling waves, and when he turned, there seemed to be clear water flowing, which was clear and clear.
"When I got out of the cave, I left a mark in an unobtrusive place, thinking that if I didn't die, I would come back and take out something else. However, not long after I had finished marking and walked out, I stepped on the air, and the man kept sinking and sinking, and he did not touch the ground for a long time, just like a bottomless pit.
Then before I knew it, I fainted and fell asleep, and when I woke up again, the cave was gone, the treasure was gone, and the weirdest thing was that even the two treasures I had brought out of my body were gone! ”
……
There was a moment of silence, and the wind swam in the peach forest, whistling treacherous wind and clouds.
"Hah!" Tang Tang broke the strange quiet, with a smile in his eyebrows, and he was arrogant, "Is it hell?" ”
On the way back from the peach forest, Tang Tang looked back twice, and from their perspective, they could also see Xu Zhihua and a group of bandits fleeing, desperately climbing the hills, as if there were ghosts chasing after them.
"Shen Lingjun, you just let them go?" The flute held by Tang Tang poked back, and it was self-evident who he was talking about.
Shen Lingjun shrugged: "Otherwise, you take it back and raise it?" ”
Tang Tang pouted: "You are not a big official, it is your duty to catch thieves." ”
