Chapter 7: Here it comes
Chapter 7 Here it comes
"There's a trap! It's a crossbow! Hide under the offering table! Lao Liu shouted and pulled me to squat under the offering table. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info took out a metallic umbrella from his backpack and opened it, blocking the gap under the table. King Kong umbrella! It was a Vajra umbrella, made of fine iron, specially designed to prevent traps such as crossbow arrows, and it could also be used to cut people if necessary. When the weight of this thing is not light, I didn't expect the ghost hand to bring the King Kong umbrella to Yunnan this time, which came in handy!
The three of us were tightly huddled in the narrow space under the offering table, the ghost hand holding the vajra umbrella to block the gap under the offering table, and from his hand holding the vajra umbrella trembling slightly, I could know how powerful the dark crossbow outside was. After a long time, there was no movement outside, and I pricked up my ears to catch all the sounds in the temple, and only after making sure that there was no linkage mechanism did I signal the ghost hand to put away the vajra umbrella. I shone the surroundings with a miner's lamp, and saw that the surroundings were densely packed with feather arrows. The feathered arrow was about three feet long, and the arrow shimmered in the light of the miner's lamp.
"That's not right!" I looked at the feathered arrows and said, "You see, these feathered arrows are new, the arrows are ordinary arrows, they have not been forged, and if they are previously laid out, there is no reason why they should not rust!" And a few decades ago, there was no such mechanism as a crossbow when the village brought people in, and even if there were, it should have been triggered. ”
"According to you, these crossbows, including the beast's mouth knocker on the temple door, were all arranged later! It seems that someone is targeting us, and someone is playing tricks on us in the dark" Lao Liu and the ghost hand are not stupid, they figured it out at once, and immediately, their faces couldn't help sinking. I was also a little uneasy in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine at the thought of someone watching our every move in an unknown corner.
Before I could continue to think about it, the ground shook violently, followed by a series of sounds of the machine running! It seems that all of them were hors d'oeuvres before, but now it's the big one!
Sure enough, a crack slowly peeked under the surrounding walls, and we felt a chill hit behind us. After a while, the temperature in the temple plummeted, and my body shivered, and I didn't know whether it was cold or scared.
"Let's go, let's go out first, look at this battle, it's not easy to deal with......"
Before Lao Liu could say anything, he felt as if he was choked by something. I looked back, it didn't matter, I just felt that the hairs on my whole body stood up! I saw a steady stream of small black snakes crawling out of the cracks in the corners of the wall, those black snakes seemed to have just woken up, and their movements seemed a little lazy, but they were becoming more and more flexible. Our retreat has been blocked!
Snake flowers, which have the characteristics of winter, spring and summer grasses, are flowers when the weather is hot; When it's cold in winter, they're snakes. As the cracks under the temple walls opened, the temperature inside the temple plummeted, awakening the snake flowers. I can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the deceased, this kind of mechanism that harnesses nature with the wisdom of man is truly eternal! But where did all those snakes come from? I suddenly thought of the layer of vines that wrapped around the mountain temple, could it be ...... It wasn't just an ordinary vine, it was all snake flowers! If all those snake flowers have to be awakened, there will only be so many little black snakes! I can't help but feel a tingle on my scalp just thinking about it!
A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I immediately understood that the mechanisms here are all connected to a certain extent. In other words, from the moment we cracked the two beast-shaped knockers of the temple gate, the mechanism here had already been touched! The reason why the Darkbow didn't trigger until we came in a while was because we wanted to wait until we went deep into the temple to kill them all! One ring after another! What a terrible trap!
The temperature around is still decreasing, according to common sense, snakes are going to hibernate in winter, and their movements should be slower, why are these snakes becoming more and more flexible? I asked again in my mind, like giving myself a big mouth - since I entered Qingshui Village, how many things can be explained by common sense?
"Xiao Wu, I'll cover you, you go first, otherwise we will all have to be planted here today!" As he spoke, Lao Liu raised the sapper shovel and slapped down angrily at the snakes around him. I understand what Lao Liu means, Lao Liu is the oldest of the three of us, and he thinks that he is too old to get out. And at present, if no one is left in this scene, everyone will die, so he gave himself the position of staying to cover for everyone! But how many times have the three of us wandered on the verge of death together, they were all friends of life and death who had experienced the test of life and death, and of course they shared life and death and hardships. How could we have left him behind!
"Don't shoot!"
The ghost hand shouted, and the sapper shovel that stopped Lao Liu's whereabouts said: "The blood of this thing has a strong hallucinogenic effect like the snake flower, besides, we will definitely not leave you!" After speaking, the ghost hand raised his hand and pinched Lao Liu's shoulder hard.
The ghost hand's voice was still low and hoarse, but with a trace of irresistible and faint warmth, the tone was categorical and unquestionable!
"You ......" Lao Liu choked in his throat: "My good brother!" But now I can't care so much! ”
After speaking, Lao Liu's body twisted, dodged the ghost hand, and then used the sapper shovel in his hand as a broom, shoveling the dense black snakes that surrounded us on the ground to the side. Lao Liu shoveled the black snake while running towards the depths of the temple. But in this way, Lao Liu's actions completely angered those black snakes, and I saw that a large area of black pressure was all surging with Lao Liu!
My nose was sour, and I shouted Lao Liu! Lao Liu had already been wrapped with many black snakes on his body, and he was thrown to the ground and curled up under the offering table. The black snake surged up like a tide, drowning Lao Liu!
"Leave me alone, go!" Lao Liu shouted hysterically, struggling to lean against the gap under the wall. My heart was like overturning the five-flavor jar, and the sweet and sour sours surged up at the same time, only to feel that something was stuck in my throat, but my eyes were moist uncontrollably. Lao Liu wants to use his corpse to block the cold hole as much as possible after he dies!
"No!"
I yelled and rushed towards Lao Liu desperately. Now, I can't do that much. If you encounter such a situation, nine times out of ten, you will rush forward desperately and do your best to save your brother who has gone through the test of life and death together. In fact, in our line of work, what we are most afraid of is watching our brothers who live and die together die in front of us one by one. I can't put into words how I felt! Anyway, as long as you go through it once, you never want to go through it a second time. But is there anything in the world that works as you wish?
But the ghost hand stopped me, and his arm strength was so great that it was like an iron pincer on me, and I couldn't break free. At the next moment, an object was thrown out of the ghost hand and thrown at Lao Liu, and then, I felt a huge force lift me up, and I was also thrown by the ghost hand to Lao Liu.
As soon as the thing thrown by the ghost hand hit the ground, the black snakes around seemed to be very afraid of that thing, and they all dispersed at once. Only then did I see that it was a copper square seal, with eight big characters engraved on it: Heavenly officials bless, no taboos! It turned out to be a hair mound! Touching the gold talisman of the captain of the school, the seal of the hair of the general in the hair, this is almost the two meters of their identity to form a mark, is it ...... The ghost hand turned out to be the long-lost Faqiu Zhonglang general!
The black snakes have fled, where Lao Liu and I are, with the Faqiu seal as the center, with a radius of about one meter forming a vacuum area, although the black snake taboos the Faqiu seal and does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, but still surrounds us, and the number of black snakes outside the circle is increasing, look at this situation, when these beasts gather to a certain number, they will not be afraid of the Faqiu seal, and launch a general attack on us!
The pressure on Lao Liu's side and I has been temporarily reduced a lot, and the ghost hand has become the target of everyone, and a large amount of black has rushed straight to the ghost hand! This guy is an old woman who eats persimmons, and picks soft pinch! But is the ghost hand a soft persimmon? The answer, of course, is no! I saw that the ghost hand quickly bent down, swept the hall leg, swept away a large piece of black, and then rolled on the spot, a carp stiffened, and then used the force to flip, this blink of an eye has come to me!
We only have time to check on Lao Liu's injuries, Lao Liu is now curled up on the ground, his whole body convulsing violently, as if a dying man is making a final powerless struggle with death! It was as if I had been stabbed in the heart, as if I was dripping blood!
"Lao Liu! Lao Liu! How are you? You old guy must hold on to me, and don't forget that you still owe me two hundred dollars! If you die, I'll find someone to go to! I lifted Lao Liu and put it on my shoulder. Just as I touched his back, Lao Liu snorted and took a cool breath.
"Xiao Wu...... Behind...... Behind ......"
Lao Liu's face was full of pain, and a sharp pain made him grin his teeth. I was pleasantly surprised, happy that Lao Liu was still alive and could speak; What shocked him was the injury to his back in his current state. I immediately realized something, turned Lao Liu over, padded it with my backpack, and took off Lao Liu's shirt. Just as I took off Lao Liu's innermost shirt, I couldn't help but gasp! I saw that most of the four black snakes got into Lao Liu's flesh, and only the small half of the body was exposed outside, and he was still struggling to drill inside! No wonder Lao Liu is so painful! I shudder at the thought of a little snake burrowing into my flesh! And the scene in front of me reminds me of the crazy old woman in Qingshui Village, and it is even more creepy. The next moment, my heart tightened - will Lao Liu become like a crazy old woman?
Thinking about it, I immediately reached out and resisted the fear and disgust from my heart to catch the four black snakes. The ghost hand stopped me, I looked at him, he didn't say anything, and quickly grabbed a black snake that was about to completely burrow into Lao Liu's body, and before it could struggle, the ghost hand made a fierce force, Lao Liu's body trembled, and with a poof, a bloody black snake was pulled out. As soon as the black head was pulled out, he turned his head and bit the ghost hand! How dangerous this thing is, that speed, as fast as a black lightning!
The ghost hand had already prepared, and with a move of his right hand, he grabbed the snake's head at a faster speed, and then raised his arm, like a steel whip that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and slammed the snake in his hand on the hard stone ground. I only heard a muffled crack, and the black snake fell heavily to the ground, bursting into a bloody flower, and the dead could not die anymore! You can imagine how huge the power of the ghost's hand is to fall! Then, with the same method, all the black snakes on Lao Liu's body were pulled out, and after confirming that there was no black snake in his body, he helped Lao Liu bandage his wounds. Only then did Lao Liu snatch back from the Yama Palace! I silently remembered it on the side, Lao Liu drilled four in his back, two in his front abdomen, and one in his ribs, and a total of seven holes were drilled! It's secretly frightening, if we come a little later, Lao Liu may have to explain here!
Looking around, just for a while, there were a lot of black snakes gathered around, and the circle around us was getting smaller and smaller by them, and I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, it seemed that this group of beasts was ready to fight us to the death. It won't be long before they will rush into our bodies and eat away at our internal organs one bite at a time! Could it be that all three of us brothers have to feed these black snakes today?
"What should I do?" I asked in a deep voice.
The ghost hand touched Qiu Yin from Lao Liu's body and put it into his arms, and then looked at a large piece of black snakes around him, frowned slightly, and did not speak. Wu originally wanted to ask the ghost hand if he was a general in the middle of the hair, but seeing that he didn't want to say it, he didn't force it, he was like this, if he wanted to tell you about you, he would naturally tell you, and if he didn't want to tell you, he wouldn't tell you if you put a knife on his neck.
"Hmm......" Lao Liu came to his senses.
"How does it feel? Better? I asked.
"It's okay, I can't die. It's your doll, I almost went to report to Chairman Mao and his old man just now, you're good, you're still thinking about the two hundred yuan, it's not enough to be righteous" Lao Liu smacked his lips and teased me again: "I said Xiao Wu, you see that I haven't returned to my position yet, the big disaster is not necessarily a blessing, I don't have to pay back your two hundred yuan."
"You want to be beautiful!" I was about to say a few words in return, but Lao Liu's face changed, and he stared at the gap under the offering table and whispered: "Huh! There's a dead heat in this! There is also a very ...... Very...... A taste of horror! ”
What the? Horror ...... Flavor? What else can this smell describe as terrifying? I don't want to think about it too much, but my heart sinks violently! Because I saw a look of horror on the face of the ghost hand, who had never seemed to have an expression all along, although it was only for a moment, but I just happened to find it! What is it that can scare even the ghost hands? The next moment, the ghost hand's face turned pale, and the hoarse voice sounded again: "Its breath!" It's coming! ”
