Chapter 16: Feet

Zhang Xiaoqian shook her head and said to me, "It's not very useful for me, but it's very useful for the two of you!" ”

"But what's the use of us asking for this?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

I also nodded and said, "Yes, what's the use of this snake's Nedan that we want?!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqian took the snake pill from my hand, and then let go of her hand, and suddenly let this inner pill hang in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the inner pill of the yellow human-headed python hanging in the air slowly, as if a cell was dividing, turned into two, and then the two yellow snake pills slowly flew into the hands of me and Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"The Inner Pill generally can't be divided into two, but this Snake Pill can be divided into two, and after the two of you eat this Snake Pill, it's good for your body."

I frowned and said, "That's it, just eat it?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Just eat it directly." ”

"Is it true that after eating it, it will suddenly grow for hundreds of years, so that from now on, I will be immortal and invincible all over the world?" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the yellow snake pill in her hand and said.

I glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister, you've seen too much fantasy." ”

When I said this, Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered her head embarrassedly.

I took the yellow snake pill, and with a twist in my heart, I swallowed the snake pill violently.

I thought I would be stuck by this snake pill, but what I didn't expect was that this snake pill dissolved in my mouth and swallowed it at once.

Seeing that I ate the snake pill, Zhang Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated, and also ate the snake pill at once.

Slowly, I could clearly feel that there seemed to be a stream of heat in my body, flowing from my throat to my stomach, and then to every part of my body.

As the heat flows throughout the body, a wave of energy is also generated.

I looked at Zhang Xiaoqian in surprise and said, "I seem to suddenly feel a surge of energy running around my body. ”

"That's right, some of the energy cultivated by this snake is now almost fused into your body." Zhang Xiaoqian said.

I nodded, then sat down cross-legged, tried to practice Yang Qi, and then tried to control the energy by the way.

I can clearly feel that the yang energy and energy in my body are growing very fast.

"Alright, I can't stay outside for too long, and I've just consumed a lot of energy." Zhang Xiaoqian said.

I took out the piece of jade pendant that had been hanging on my chest and said, "Then you can go back to Jade Pendant." ”

Zhang Xiaoqian nodded, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and slowly flew back into the jade pendant.

After Zhang Xiaoqian flew back into the jade pendant, I hung the jade pendant on my chest again.

"We'll be out of here in half a day." Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed and said.

I looked at the sky outside and said, "yes." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, all of a sudden, my stomach "gurgled".

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at me and smiled, and said, "Let's go, go outside and look for anything to eat." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao took the dagger and walked outside.

I patted my stomach, it was just noon, and I was grunting with hunger.

I walked into the forest outside, and I could only find some wild fruits to pad my stomach as I did yesterday, of course, if I could find some wild game to pad my stomach, but I didn't meet a wild boar or wild dog or anything along the way, I met a wild man, and I couldn't eat it......

I don't know how long I walked with Zhang Xiaoxiao, but suddenly, a huge tree appeared in front of me.

The tree is so large that it is estimated that it will take three people to hold hands to enclose it.

Although the tree is a little withered, there are still some branches that are growing tenaciously and bearing some fruit.

I said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Give me your dagger, and I'll climb up and pick some fruit." ”

"Okay, then be careful." Zhang Xiaoxiao handed me the dagger and said.

I nodded, took the dagger, and prepared to climb up.

The branches of this tree that could bear fruit were all hanging very high, and I had to climb up little by little.

I finally climbed to the top and found a relatively large branch to step on, so I was relieved to go and pick the fruit.

But before I could stand on it, and I was about to pick the fruit, when suddenly a crisp "click" came through.

I swallowed my saliva and thought to myself, it can't be that the branch under my feet is broken, shouldn't it, this branch is so thick, how can it be broken?

"Click!"

Just as I was thinking about it, the thick branch at my feet broke completely.

My feet suddenly emptied, and then the whole person fell down.

I was startled, and at the last moment, I was lucky enough to hold on to the branch of the tree that was just about to pick the fruit.

However, this branch is relatively thin, and it can't hold me long, so I have to find a fulcrum quickly.

I looked left and right, but I couldn't find any fulcrum, and saw that the branch I was holding on was about to break, and in a hurry, I slammed the dagger in my hand into the tree, and then kept holding on to the branch that had just been broken.

But as soon as I let my hand go, I suddenly felt that something was wrong......

The branch that has just broken should be solid, why is it hollow where I touched, and it seems that the whole body of the tree is hollow......

I swallowed and tried to put my hand in the hole.

Sure enough, it's hollow inside!

I exclaimed, and then said to Zhang Xiaoxiao below: "Zhang Xiaoxiao, you climb up here and find something!" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at me suspiciously, not knowing what I was talking about, but still climbed up to the top.

There wasn't much on this tree that could fix the hands and feet, so it wasn't easy to climb, and Zhang Xiaoxiao climbed many times before climbing up.

I held the hole just now with my left hand, and then held a dagger in my right hand and stabbed hard at the top of the tree, and after a while, I chiseled out a hole, just to make a support point for Zhang Xiaoxiao.

After Zhang Xiaoxiao also climbed up, I continued to use a dagger to chisel on top of the tree.

"This ...... This tree, why is it hollow?! Zhang Xiaoxiao was startled and said.

I don't know why, this tree is hollow, can it be a tree that is more old, this will happen?

I had a very strong hunch in my heart that this place, there must be something special, there would definitely be ......

After a while, the trunk in front of me had been chiseled out by me, and it was about the size of a person to burrow into.

I said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go in and have a look, if I don't come out for a long time, you can leave." ”

"No way!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "I don't know anything inside, it's too dangerous." ”

I didn't listen to Zhang Xiaoxiao's dissuasion, and then with a strong arm, I lifted it upwards violently, and my entire upper body suddenly entered the hole in the trunk.

I tried to position myself, slowly getting ready, and landed myself in the center of the trunk.

I propped myself up inside and said to Zhang Xiaoxiao outside: "Remember, if I don't come up within half a day, you leave here." ”

With that, I let go of my hand holding the tree, and then the whole person fell down all at once.

My heart rate started to increase as well, but all of a sudden, I seemed to feel something......

This track is getting oblique!!

I was amazed for a moment, and thought to myself: No, when I climbed up before, I remembered that this tree was straight, how could it be slanted?

Besides, it's been half a minute since I said my whereabouts, why haven't I stopped yet?

Could it be that there really is something down there that can't be done?

While I was thinking about it, all of a sudden, my feet finally hit the ground.

Since I wasn't prepared at first, when my feet just fell to the ground, my body went limp, and I rolled on the ground.

But when I opened my eyes and looked ahead, I was completely stunned by what I saw...... I grew my mouth and almost dropped my jaw as I watched the scene in front of me.

What appeared in front of me was an altar!

This altar is not too big, but the scale of the sacrifice, as well as the level of horror, is no less than that of an ordinary altar.

I saw that there were two parts of the atmosphere of this altar, one part was a curved strip, and the other part was a circular altar, and in this curved strip of recesses was placed a skeleton with a white forest, and in that circular altar, it was bright red blood!

I was shocked, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, looking at this altar, it should be a long time ago, why is the blood in this altar still fresh?

It stands to reason that if the blood is left in the air for a long time, it will cause coagulation and darkening of color, but this jar of blood is as fresh as if it had just been released.

I didn't care so much, pinched my nose, and walked towards the round altar in front of me.

Just as I was about to walk to the round altar plate, all of a sudden I seemed to see something out of the corner of my eye.

I turned around and looked carefully into the long groove, and at this time, I saw that there seemed to be something moving among the human skeletons of Bai Sensen!

I was startled, and I couldn't help but step back, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, something would jump out and give me a cold bite, and then I would be finished.

I didn't dare to look further into the trough, so I hurried to the round altar filled with blood on the side.

When I walked into this circular altar, I found that outside the circular altar, there were still dense words like this.

I squatted down and looked carefully at the inscription on the outside of the altar, but it was ancient, crooked, and I couldn't understand it at all.

At this time, I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked at the long curved trough on the side.

Sure enough, this long groove is also engraved with something, but compared to this prototype carbon, this curved long groove is engraved with pictures, which is much easier to recognize than words.

I walked over to the trough, crouched down, and looked at the patterns carefully.

After looking at it for a while, although it is said that this is a pattern, it is easier to understand, but after all, this is the thinking of the ancients, and modern people will inevitably have some doubts when they come to guess.

I stared at the patterns in front of me for a long time, and then it seemed to be a little blank, what was the content I wanted to express on it-

Once upon a time, there was a poor boy, by chance, met the daughter of a famous nobleman, the two fell in love at first sight, but due to the disparity in social status, the woman's father was broken up alive, in order to prevent the man from coming to his daughter again, this person sent someone to kill him in secret.

Later, the man's grievances were incomprehensible, and finally turned into a ghost, and in order to take revenge, he killed the woman's family, including the woman, made an altar, and sacrificed himself with their dry bones and blood.

Seeing this, my scalp couldn't help but tingle, could it be that this is the altar that the ghost used to sacrifice himself?!

I swallowed, patted my chest, and comforted myself in my heart: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Then I didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, so I hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't go~"

Before I could turn around, at this moment, suddenly a hollow voice came from behind me, very miserable, and almost scared me to my stomach.

I slowly turned around, and was about to find the source of the sound, when I found that the blood in the round altar was actually bubbling outward!

Seeing this, my legs went limp, and I fell to my knees.

"Big brother, big sister, big guy! I'm afraid that there is an eighty-year-old master and a two-year-old junior sister, so you can do it, and there are a lot of adults, so let me go. "I don't know if I say this, Zhang Xiaoxiao and the head of Sanshui will beat me when they find out......

At this time, the bubbling blood altar began to make a sound again:

"Don't go, help me, help me......"

Before the voice fell, a few voices came from the blood altar again: "Yes, save us......"

This scared me, at first I thought there was only one voice, but I didn't expect all of a sudden, so many ghosts came out!

My back was about to be soaked in cold sweat, and at this time, I said in a trembling voice: "Big brothers, big sisters, big brothers, big sisters, do you have any orders. ”

As soon as my words fell, at this time, the voice that called me at the beginning came from the blood altar: "Actually, the real thing is not what you see, you have to save us." ”

Hearing this voice, I couldn't help but be shocked, frowned, looked at the blood altar, and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Then, I only heard the voice sobbing softly a few times, and then said:

"Actually, I'm the man in the painting, but it's not like that!"

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but start to be a little confused, and asked, "Then what do you say is the real thing that happened?" ”

The blood altar bubbled, and then the voice came out:

"That day, I was working in the farmland as usual, and later, when I met a woman who had fled, I kindly took him back to my home, and later learned that she was the daughter of a wealthy family who was more famous nearby, and she said that because she went out shopping, she was targeted by the enemy, so she was hunted down and killed, and asked me to send her home, and there will be a heavy reward at that time."

"And then you coveted a little bit of money and sent her home?" I interrupted him.

After bubbling a few times in the blood altar, he said: "It's not that simple, I'm not greedy for that little money, after I sent this woman home, it was already dark, they left me to stay at their house for one night, and arranged a room for me to live in."

I thought they were really entertaining me, but I suddenly heard the conversation between this woman and her father, saying that I am a rare physique in the world, as long as I drink my blood and eat my flesh, I can live forever and ascend to immortality. ”

I looked at the blood altar, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, are you Tang Seng, can you still live forever after eating your flesh?

The Blood Altar continued:

"Later, they planned to kill me, and my family saw that I was not coming back for a long time, so they went to the rich man's house to look for me, and happened to see the scene where they killed me......" Hearing this voice in the blood altar, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and listened carefully to his words.

I only heard the blood altar say again:

"Later, in order to kill people, this rich family actually killed my entire family at once, and then set up such a bureau to trap us in this, and we will never be able to live forever."

Hearing him say this, I carefully looked at the long groove-shaped altar in front of me, and the round altar.

I've heard from the chief of the three waterways about this terrain, and although these two don't seem to be a big deal, but in terms of the topography, it's actually a difficult situation.

This place is under the dead tree, and in addition to separating the human head from the body, so that the head is put in the blood, the entire altar is in a south, south, north, and west direction, trapping the soul so that they cannot escape this place, and they cannot be reincarnated.

After I understood the situation, I sighed and said, "Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?" ”

The altar of blood bubbled and said, "Our heads are in this altar of blood, as long as you break this altar of blood and take our heads out of this dead tree, we will be able to be reborn, and at that time, we will definitely repay you." ”

I waved my hand and said, "I don't need you to repay me anything, as long as you behave well in your next life." ”

With that, my eyes searched around the area, and I found a large rock.

I lifted the big rock, thinking to myself, I will also do Sima Guang again today, smashing the cylinder to save my life.

Thinking about it, I hugged the big stone, came to the side of the big blood altar, and smashed the stone in my hand towards the round altar.

"Boom!"

A loud bang came, and then, I saw that the outside of the blood altar slowly began to crack out, and then, blood seeped out of the crack.

"Boom!"

With another loud bang, the round altar exploded at once, and as soon as the altar exploded, suddenly, three bloody heads rolled out of it!

Although I said that I was mentally prepared, the sudden appearance of the head still startled me.

What's special is that the moment those three bloody heads roll out, they = keep staring at me, can you not make people panic!

"Big brother, as long as you take us out of this dead tree and bury us somewhere at will, we will be able to reincarnate."

At this moment, one by one the bloody heads on the ground suddenly spoke.

I swallowed, looked at the three heads on the ground, and said, "Big brother, you let me climb out with your three heads in my arms." ”

I had nothing on me, there were three heads, so I had to carry them out.

The head of a man on the ground spoke again: "As long as you can take us out, you can do anything." ”

I looked at the three heads on the ground, and suddenly I had a plan, and said, "Then I'm offended." ”

As I spoke, I walked over to the three heads on the ground.

Because they are all ancients, and there are long braids on the top of these heads, so I strung these three bloody human heads like garlic braids in the countryside, and then pinned them to my waist, picked up the dagger that Zhang Xiaoxiao gave me before, and prepared to climb out.

But before I could take a step, all of a sudden, my foot seemed to have kicked something.

When I looked down, it turned out to be a small box.

I was puzzled for a moment, bent down and picked up the box on the ground, looked left and right, and found that the box was not locked, and it was easy to open.

I pinned the dagger to the waistband of my trousers, freed my hands, and tried to open the box.

After opening the box, I saw a palm-sized gossip bronze mirror in the box! There was a faint yellow glow.

"What is this?" I took out the gossip bronze mirror,. He looked at it and said.

"This was left by the Taoist priest who was invited by the rich man before." Suddenly, there was a voice from my skull.

As soon as I heard that it was a Taoist priest, I had the bottom in my heart, this thing must be a mundane thing, so I hurriedly put the bronze mirror back in the box, and took the box and prepared to leave this ghost place.

I walked to the bottom of the tree trunk, looked at the top, and sighed a few times in my heart, such a high place, it is easy to come down, but it is difficult to climb up.

I pulled out the dagger that was pinned to my waist, then pinned the box I had just picked up on my waist, then leaned my back to one side, and then kicked the other side with my feet, and when I was tired, I plunged the dagger into the trunk of the tree, and rested on my feet as a support point.

In this way, after a little half a day's work, I finally saw a bright light in my headβ€”the hole I had chiseled with a dagger before!

I breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, this is the end of it.

Slowly, I got closer and closer to the hole, and by this time, I was almost running out of energy.

I looked at the hole not far above my head, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and counted three counts in my mind, and then kicked my feet hard and stretched my arms forward vigorously.

Finally, I grabbed the edge of the hole and slowly climbed up.

"Zhou Zhou, you scared me to death, I thought you couldn't get out." At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly came from under the tree.

I didn't crawl out at this time, but half of my body was stuck on it, because I was almost exhausted, so I had to rest for a while.

I made an "ok" cleanup towards Zhang Xiaoxiao, and then said: "My life is big, it's okay, let it go." ”

As I spoke, I was ready to get out of this hole in the tree completely.

I adjusted the direction of my body and held it in the same position as I faced the trunk of the tree, and then my heart relaxed, and I slipped off the tree.

I slipped down the tree, but due to the force of the fall, I sat down on the ground and almost broke my butt into four pieces.

When Zhang Xiaoxiao saw that I was coming down, she hurriedly stepped forward to help me up, and asked, "How is it, is there something wrong?" ”

I shook my head, and was about to open my mouth to speak, but at this moment, the head pinned to my waist suddenly spoke:

"Eh, little girl, you're holding my hair!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback by this sudden voice, shook off my hand at once, and threw me aside.

I hadn't stood firm yet, and suddenly Zhang Xiaoxiao came to me like this, and I suddenly lay on the ground forward......

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, your grandma's! ……”
