Chapter 67: I'm Lu Hao

"This ......" I was already where I was, unable to speak.

"Lu Hao went to the rhinoceros ghost village ten years ago and never came back." With his hand turned away from me, he continued:

"Also, do you know who the seventh person on the team was that year?"

My eyelids jumped twice, waiting for his next step.

"Wu Lao Liu."

My heart was beating violently, and the seventh man was my father!

I was about to ask, but the ghost didn't look back and went inside, only leaving a sentence: "You'll know when you see him later." ”

I hurriedly followed, and if these words came from someone else's mouth, it would be fine, but if they came from the mouth of a ghost's hand, I had to believe that he was a man who never told lies.

I followed the ghost hand to the depths of the cave, the uneven stone steps winding down, I don't know where it leads, I hold the corpse oil horse lamp in my hand and shine down, I can't see the end, the shadow of the ghost hand is stretched long, even his shadow seems to be swaying with it.

Wait a minute! Wrong!

My heart is inexplicably tight, something is wrong! As for what is wrong, I can't say for a while! Just walked forward in a daze with the ghost hand for a while, and my whole body shook suddenly, and my eyes were staring at the horse lantern in my hand!

The lantern is still in my hand, I must not have come alone just now! Lu Hao gave me the horse lantern, why did he disappear? Could it be that he had expected the appearance of the ghost hand before, and he didn't want others to know about his existence, so he gave me the horse lantern before taking the twelve forbidden ladders and slipped away by himself?

Still not right! I stopped abruptly and put my hand on the lampshade, which was already a little cold, and there was not the slightest temperature around the lamp!

The lantern went out and never burned! What about this light...... The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became, and when I looked ahead, there was still a ghost hand!

At this moment, the voice of the ghost hand came from the thick fog in front of him: "What are you doing?" Hurry up and catch up, Wu Lao Liu is in front. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly tried to keep up with the ghost's hand, trying to figure out what had happened to the exploration team back then, and why my father was the seventh man.

"Wu Tianming!"

I was stunned, my steps paused, who was calling me?

Looking around, there was no movement, so I continued to walk towards the ghost hand, and on the way, someone seemed to teach me again, but the voice was fluttering, far away, and the ghost hand was urging me again, so I didn't have time to think about it, and I quickened my pace and rushed forward.

"Ask him yourself." As he spoke, the ghost hand threw a man over, and the man crossed an arc and fell heavily to my feet, and I carried the lantern down, and it turned out to be my father, who was lying on the ground with blood on his face at the moment, his eyes closed, and he looked very painful.

I quickly leaned down to help him up, but he bounced up from the ground and stretched out two straight hands to choke my neck!

"Dad, it's me, I'm your son Wu Tianming, what's wrong with you?" I suddenly had some difficulty breathing, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious!

My dad looked at me with wide eyes, his white eyes were bloodshot, his face was expressionless, his expression was hideous, his head began to turn to the right, thirty degrees, sixty degrees, ninety degrees, one hundred and eighty degrees! I was shocked to find out that there was another face in the back of his head! A woman's face!

"Wu Tianming!"

A loud shout sounded in my ears, which made my eardrums itch, and the horse lamp in my hand was hot all of a sudden, and I was stunned, my eyes were dark, and I subconsciously stepped back, but I bumped into a person. I know the touch coming out of the back of my head that person is Lu Hao with a bronze mask!

"Ahem, you kid, it's only the third step and you can't hold it." Lu Hao's hoarse and hurried voice sounded behind him.

I gasped for breath, my back was already in a cold sweat, it turned out that I had been hit when I stepped into the third step of the forbidden ladder, all I saw were hallucinations, I seemed to hear my name before, in fact, it was Lu Hao who found out that something was wrong with me in the back, and I was calling the soul, seeing that I didn't react, I put the horse lantern on my palm, which burned me back.

It is worthy of the twelve forbidden ladders, it is really dangerous, it is still pitch black in front of me, and the hearing of my ears is also passing rapidly, and if it goes on like this, it will not take a while, I will definitely be hit again!

Lu Hao seemed to be shouting something, but I was gradually unable to hear clearly, just when my hearing was about to be completely lost, I felt a hot nose, as if someone had wiped it, and then a bad smell rushed straight to my nose, making me sick to my stomach for a while, and I vomited it out!

I opened my eyes suddenly, my hearing and vision suddenly recovered a lot, and when I looked down, I vomited out all white eggs! The more I look at it, the more disgusting I become, and I even paint bile; I spit it out, only to feel a burst of bitterness in my mouth.

Lu Hao took the lamp oil from the oil filling hole and wiped some on the bottom of his nose, and then without saying anything, he walked in front of me and led me forward.

I already understood in my heart what Lu Hao wiped on my nose, although it was disgusting, there was really nothing to vomit in my stomach, it was just convulsions uncomfortable, the hallucinations and blindness and deafness just now were mostly related to those eggs, what did they enter our bodies?!

"What's next?" I asked.

"Ahem, how else can I walk, with my legs." Lu Hao said without replying.

I have a black line on my forehead, damn it, isn't this bullshit? But he didn't dare to say that, no matter how much he had, he was better than me......

I was feeling inferior, Lu Hao in front of me suddenly stopped, I didn't have time to brake, I hit his back all of a sudden, through the shabby black robe, I faintly smelled a rancid smell.

He turned his head: "Bring your hands." ”

I looked wary: "What do you want to do!" ”

He was wearing a bronze mask, I don't know what his expression was, when he was stunned, he had already grabbed one of my hands, I didn't have time to react, I only felt a pain in my middle finger, and some blood was squeezed out, he had let go of my hand, took out a bottle from his arms, and spilled the liquid inside on the ground, while sprinkling it back in his mouth and muttering:

"People light the sky lantern with oil, everything in the sky is alive, there is falsehood, the vanity is deep, the dust returns to dust, the earth returns to the earth, and there is no distortion in the mundane......"

At this time, Lu Hao, wearing a bronze mask, holding a jade vase, dancing with his hands, like a great god dancing in the north, I sighed in my heart, but I still followed him honestly, not to mention, his method really worked, not long after, we walked over to the twelve forbidden ladders, when we walked out of the last level, there was a squeak under the stairs, it was the sound of the coffin board closing.

…………

From entering the cave to the present, Lu Hao and I walked for less than three hours, according to the slope, it should be almost to the bottom of the crack, and walked forward for a distance, there was a fork in the road, I and Lu Hao looked at each other, Lu Hao put the horse lantern at the fork in the road, let me wait here not to run around, he went over to see, explained a few words and walked into one of the holes, and disappeared in a few clicks.

The next moment he disappeared, I regretted it, and I looked at the lantern that was quietly placed at the fork in the road, wondering if he would not come back.

I comforted myself, waited quietly for more than ten minutes, there was no movement around at all, I shouted a few times at the entrance of the cave where Lu Hao left, and answered me in addition to my own echo mixed with a coughing sound, I knew that it was Lu Hao coughing, so I asked him what the situation was below, there was no answer inside, I took the lantern probe to look into the hole, the cave meandered down, black like a pool of ink.

I waited patiently for more than ten minutes, it was almost half an hour, there was no movement inside, I carried the lantern to the entrance of the cave several times, finally, I couldn't wait, I wanted to see people die or see corpses, it was not a way to wait like this, maybe something happened to Lu Hao below and was waiting for me to rescue.

I took a deep breath, took the lantern and walked into the cave where Lu Hao walked down, the hole was very narrow, but it was very high, like a large crack in the interior of a naturally formed mountain, looking up, it was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and occasionally one or two coughs came from above or in front.

I shouted Lu Hao's name as I walked, and my voice was a little hoarse and ...... Unfamiliar. After walking for more than ten minutes, I was glad that I didn't encounter a fork in the road, otherwise my eyes would have been blackened, but there was no movement, as if no one had ever come to this passage.

After a few more minutes, there was a faint wind blowing in front, I was happy, there was air flow, it means that there is an exit not far ahead, Lu Hao may be on the side of the exit, I quickened my pace, sure enough, after a hundred steps forward, the crack suddenly widened, I took three steps and made two steps, and walked out of the crack at once!

Outside was a large space, like a dark ocean, and the lantern in my hand was like a flat boat in the ocean, so insignificant that it was not enough for me to see my surroundings clearly.

"Team Leader Lu!" I poked my head out and shouted around.

There was a deathly silence all around, and anyone responded to anything, just like the sound of coughing that disappeared completely.

No! It's windy! And it's blowing in my direction!

Something is rapidly approaching me!

As soon as the thought in my head arose, my body was grabbed from behind, the man was as thin as wood, but he was quite agile, an eagle grabbed my wrist, and the other hand caught my shoulder, and almost instantly, one of my arms was removed by him!

I couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, the pain swept through my body, I twisted my body along the man's hand, hoping to relieve some pain, but it was all in vain, the man's hand seemed to have a thousand powers, and the iron hammer held me tightly.

"Are you...... Who ......?" I said to him, holding back the pain.

The man did not slack off for a moment, he kicked on the lantern, and before the lantern landed, he took one hand to catch the lantern steadily, and when he twisted the rotating lever, the flames in the lantern flashed a few times rapidly, and then extinguished, and the surroundings suddenly fell into absolute darkness.

"Aren't you looking for me?" The man whispered to me. The voice was like two pieces of rotten wood rubbing against each other, indescribably strange and vicissitudes: "I am Lu Hao." ”

I'm a little confused, I can guarantee that I have never seen this person behind me, and I have never heard his voice, he is definitely not the Lu Hao with a bronze mask!

I was about to say something when a man appeared behind me, and his voice was very cold, but I was very familiar with it:

"Let him go, my own people."

It's a ghost hand! It shouldn't be a hallucination this time.

The man behind me hesitated, let me go, and the ghost hand stepped forward to support me, reached out and groped for my shoulder for a while, and while I was not looking, his hand grabbed my shoulder joint and twisted it hard, and after a very brief sharp pain, my arm was connected by him.

I moved my arm, it was not so painful anymore, so I reached out to take back the lantern and was about to light it, but was stopped by the ghost hand: "You can't light the lamp, there is something in here!" ”
