Chapter 87: The Willow Tree Becomes a Spirit
Seeing that cinnabar could get rid of this thing that made Leng Yue anxious, my heart was overjoyed, and I was about to tell Leng Yue how to deal with it, but I heard the sound of "whirring", and then I saw that a nail rake had smashed in front of my eyes.
It turned out to be another family member who left Leng Yue alone and ran over to attack me.
At this point, the rake was less than half a meter away from me, and it was so strong that it was too late for me to avoid it.
I froze in place, my mind blank, thinking I was about to die in this damn place.
Suddenly, I saw a flash of light, and an iron chopstick stretched out from the diagonal ground and blocked in front of me.
"Dang!"
In the sound of metal clashing, sparks flew everywhere, and the nail rake had been blocked by Leng Yue with iron chopsticks.
The sinister nail teeth hung above my head, and the cold temperature that came down made me shiver from inside and out, and my body shivered uncontrollably.
After escaping death, I didn't rejoice, panic, or daze, but came back to my senses as quickly as I could, bent forward and rushed out, and pounced on the family.
I lifted my hand that was still stained with cinnabar and made a mark on the housekeeper's chest.
With a "stab" sound, I went straight through the body of the housekeeper, rushed out several steps, slipped under my feet, and fell to the ground.
Behind me, there was a "zizi" sound.
Without looking back, I knew that my cinnabar was once again powerful.
Leng Yue suddenly came to my side and looked at me with a very strange look, as if he was looking at a monster, and the big iron chopsticks in his hand were clearly carried by him, emitting a faint but cold cold light.
I hurriedly said, "Cinnabar works." ”
Leng Yue blinked, let out an "oh", and looked up at the front.
At the entrance of the green building in front of us, the man in the robe and horse coat looked stunned, as if he didn't expect that we would be able to deal with the family he summoned so easily.
He moved his gaze to me, his eyes shining with a vicious light, as if he wanted to eat me alive.
I was afraid that something would happen again, so I quickly stuffed the iron chisel in my hand back into my backpack, and took out the small gourd again, and poured out a small handful of cinnabar in my hand.
Leng Yue stared at the person at the door of the Cui Lou with those green eyes, and quietly handed the end of the big iron chopsticks to my eyes.
I immediately knew his intentions and reached out to apply cinnabar to the ends of his large iron chopsticks.
The man in front of the Cui Lou was furious, turned around and entered the moon cave door, and slammed the door shut with his backhand.
I asked Leng Yue, "He should be scared, right?" ”
Leng Yue shook her head and did not speak.
We waited vigilantly for a moment, then looked at each other and continued on our way.
Walking through the green building, we once again came to the edge of the bamboo forest.
The last time we were in this place, we were blocked by a strange Taihu Lake Stone, and then Leng Yue stepped forward and smashed the Taihu Stone, which also caused us to return to the fork in the road inexplicably.
This time, I hope I don't encounter that weird Taihu stone again.
However, I didn't see the Taihu Lake rocks blocking the road, but I saw a large area of rockeries, and those rockeries were all made of Taihu Lake stones.
The stones were piled up in a strange shape to form a gate, just in front of us on this path.
Beyond the door, there was a large stone one man tall with vermilion inscriptions, and it was too far away for me to make out the words.
Leng Yue whispered on the side: "Four Seasons Mountain Residence Garden." ”
I didn't care about Leng Yue's inexplicable sentence at first, but when we got closer and closer to the rockery, I could already see clearly by the light of the flashlight that the big stone was engraved with five big red characters of "Four Seasons Mountain Residence Garden".
What exactly are Leng Yue's eyes made of, and why are they so powerful? Not only can I see at night, but I can also see the inscriptions on the stone from such a distance, which really amazes me.
The huge rockery group covers an extremely wide area, stretching endlessly on both sides, and I don't know where it leads.
In the vicinity of the mountain, there are plants and flowers, which are delicately arranged and scattered.
If it weren't for the ghostly atmosphere, weird atmosphere, and danger here, it could really be regarded as a good garden appreciation.
Leng Yue and I stood at the gate of the rockery, vigilantly watching the surrounding movements for a while.
Except for the slight sound of wind and grass and trees, there was not even a single insect chirping.
I wanted to ask Leng Yue if she wanted to go in, but thinking of the way this guy spoke, I couldn't help but ask after all.
But what's the matter with the two of us just standing here and looking around?
I shook my head helplessly, raised my legs and was about to walk towards the gate of the rockery, but was pulled by Leng Yue.
"What? Can't get in? I asked, confused.
Leng Yue let out an "um" and continued to look left and right, not knowing if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, I heard a "pop" sound faintly coming from far to my right.
I was stunned, pointed in the direction where the voice came from, lowered my voice and asked Leng Yue, "Did you hear that?" ”
Leng Yue's eyes widened fiercely, looking in the direction of my finger, with a solemn expression.
The ends of the large iron chopsticks in his hand were painted with cinnabar by me, and they were as red as blood, like a hungry beast full of hunger and thirst for blood.
"Smack!"
There was another crunch, but it was clearer than the last, and it was closer to us.
Leng Yue gritted her teeth and said, "It's here." ”
Here it comes? Could it be that something is coming?
I was stunned and my heart began to feel uneasy.
Not long after, another "pop" sounded, and at the same time, I saw from a distance that under the thick fog, a shaky black shadow appeared in the grass and trees, about the same height as the trees in the forest.
"What's that?"
I lowered my voice and asked Leng Yue, and I regretted it after asking.
"Guess."
Sure enough, this guy's answer was exactly the same as what I had just thought, and it was really maddening.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Suddenly, the strange sound sounded like a burst of bullets, as if there were many whips struck the ground.
At the same time, I saw the black shadow in the woods suddenly speed up, rushing towards me and Cold Moon.
I held up my flashlight and let the beam extend and shine on the shadow, trying to see it for what it was.
It didn't matter, I was taken aback.
In fact, in my heart, I have made many conjectures about the prototype of the black shadow, but I didn't guess it at all, because the existence of that thing is really beyond my comprehension.
It was a tall, thick willow tree, and its branches fluttered like its hair.
Its roots did not go deep into the ground, but like the tentacles of an octopus, it slapped the ground strangely, acting as a foot, causing the fairy-like willow tree, almost in a frantic manner, to rush towards us.
If I turn around and run now, I can be sure that Leng Yue should be able to run away, and I, most likely, will be caught up by the strange tree in a short time.
However, Leng Yue did not retreat, but rushed towards the willow tree.
I'm just a tomb robber, and I'm not good at fighting weird creatures at all, but seeing that Leng Yue has already rushed out, I have no reason to retreat, so I can only follow hard.
