Volume 1, Ghost City of the Bone Forest_Chapter 58, Three Mountains and Mountain Lords (2)
Heavy clouds drifted overhead, and the sunlight began to thin, but the wind was cold and seemed to blow into people's hearts.
This time I encountered hard stubble, and I have no confidence in whether I can save my life. The lord of the three mountains took my hand and dragged me into the village, Lingqian saw that my face changed instantly, rushed to me quickly, raised his hand and punched my lower abdomen, this woman is a practitioner in the end, the strength of her hand is not small, the muscles that were hit were sore, and I grinned a few times.
"Dare to ruin my business, kill you!"
Lingqian had already put the dagger in his hand on my neck as he spoke, and the cold blade fell on my throat, and it only needed to be lightly slashed to immediately open the flesh, but at this time, the Sanshan Mountain Lord on the side held down Lingqian's wrist and said with a smile: "Sister, now is not the time." ”
Lingqian's temperament is actually quite wild, even if she likes to dress up like a lady, but when it comes to killing, she is not ambiguous at all. But at this time, after listening to the words of the Three Mountains Mountain Lord, he obediently took his hand back, in my opinion, it seems that the Three Mountains Mountain Lord can still suppress her.
"We're talking inside, and we still have something to do with you."
The Lord of the Three Mountains took me into a nearby house, closed the door, and there were just us in the room, and he sat opposite me, still looking calm and unangry.
But just like the calm before the storm, the undercurrent is surging, and I am more careful.
After sitting down, I immediately said, "Big brother, there was some misunderstanding between me and your sister this time, but fortunately, no one suffered. I didn't care about your sister, so let's make a big deal a small thing. ”
The Lord of the Three Mountains poured himself a bowl of water and sat across from me, crossed his legs, and lightly tapped the table with his fingers. I looked at him a little nervously, but he was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and the invisible pressure fell on me, and when I was thinking about whether to carry Lee Dunzhu out, the mountain lord of the three mountains on the opposite side finally spoke after drinking a sip of water!
"Lee Dunzhu told me that you went to a temple in Shanghai, found an underground space in the temple, and almost died in it, right?"
What he mentioned when he opened his mouth was actually the matter of Xuanming Temple, I paused slightly, this matter does not need to be hidden, but I didn't want to publicize it. Obviously, there is a treasure in the cave under the Xuanming Temple, although we can't do it, but if the wind is released, there are so many masters in the outer circle, if they all come to Shanghai, then the Xuanming Temple will definitely be taken up, and the fat man and I can't get half a dime. Therefore, I always want to do business behind closed doors, but now that the Lord of the Three Mountains has asked, he must have known about it, so it is useless for me to deny it. simply admitted generously: "Yes, there is an old temple in Shanghai called Xuanming Temple, there is a hole at the bottom, we have encountered a lot of strange things in it, but I don't know if there is a treasure." ”
It's also the truth, the mountain lord of the three mountains smiled again, the man in front of him couldn't see through every time he laughed, as if that face was a mask, and there must be something hidden under the mask, but I couldn't say.
"Your name is Ba Xiaoshan."
He asked me. I nodded, and he smiled and said, "This bond between you and my sister is not too deep, but it is not shallow." Our Ling family still has some reputation in the Tao, and my sister is the pearl of my old man's palm. If you offend her, you will slap our spirit family, do you think about it for yourself, is it serious enough? ”
I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, and I couldn't talk about it in a big way, otherwise it would end badly the more I talked about it, but obviously Lingyan didn't have any intention of solving this matter.
"Big brother, we can't say that, I did it, but it's also to save people, or you ......"
Before I finished speaking, Lingyan waved his hand and shouted as if he was a little impatient: "Boy, let me tell you something, on this road, no one cares what is black and white, and no one cares about right and wrong, only one point, only one point, you remember it for me!" That is, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak. ”
I lowered my head like a primary school apprentice, even though I was not convinced, but the fat man was still being held to the head with a shotgun outside, and there were old fathers and mothers at home who needed me to support the elderly.
"However, although this beam is serious, it doesn't mean that it can't be unraveled." He changed his words, as if he had opened a way for me to survive, but I am not stupid, this kind of talking routine must be to set me up in the end, and it is a trap that I have to fall into.
"Promise to help me do two things, if I can do it, I will let you and your friends go, if you don't agree, I'm afraid your lives won't be saved today."
"You say."
I whispered in response.
"First of all, when this matter is over, return to Shanghai, and then I will send a few good hands to help, and then use you as bait to lure out the monsters under the old temple. And everything you find out from under that old temple must be mine. ”
I knew that it was definitely not a good thing for him to mention Xuanming Temple just now, so he was playing with such an idea.
Let me be a bait, not only is it dangerous, but in the end, I can't get a fart, even if I don't want to, but the situation forced me to nod and agree.
"What about the second one?"
I asked.
"If you can come out of the old temple alive, you will be qualified to know the content of this second thing."
He didn't reveal much, in fact, I thought to myself, it's a big deal to find a place to hide for a while, he can find me, but he doesn't necessarily dare to kill me in a big city, be careful, maybe you can avoid this disaster. However, at the end of the day, I'm still too young. While I was thinking this, Lingyan took out a small jar from his pocket, which was about the size of a beer glass, made of wood, and seemed to have some strange patterns carved on it.
Just when I was confused, he suddenly reached out and grabbed me by the collar, pulled me in front of him, and then knocked two fingers on my neck, I immediately lost my breath, my nose seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound, I opened my mouth only a piece of silence, and I reached out to push him away but saw him take out some black things from the wooden jar and stuff them into my mouth.
Then I let go of my hand, swallowed some, and coughed repeatedly.
"What did you give me!"
I shouted with a flushed face.
He raised the wooden jar and said in a low voice: "This contains a poisonous insect prepared by a wizard near Yunnan and Burma, called 'Heixin', this poisonous insect is swallowed into the abdomen and digested by gastric juice, it will release black poisonous gas, which will quickly penetrate into people's internal organs and stabilize them. ”
"You're going to poison me?"
I asked in surprise.
"If you don't do what I ask you to do, or if you try to escape, you'll be poisoned." The time of the attack is generally two months, which means that from now on, you have two months to live. The antidote is currently only available to me, of course, if you take the risk of going to Yunnan and Burma to find someone to help, but you have to calculate the time and don't die on the way. ”
I didn't think that the plot in this movie really happened to me, I frowned, and the lord of the three mountains put away the wooden jar, and said: "I know what you are thinking, maybe I deliberately lied to you, maybe there is no 'black seed' poisonous insect at all." It's a pity, I can only tell you that in my eyes you are just a nobody with some use value, and if it weren't for the fact that you can be my bait, you would be less valuable than my poisonous worm in my eyes. The verification method is also very simple, you can find the Han seniors of the right school after you go back to Shanghai. ”
With that, he walked slowly to the door, opened the door, the clouds drifted by, and the sun showed again. He looked back at me and said coldly, "Welcome to this cruel world." ”
The wind blew, and he turned back and walked out, and then I heard Lingqian shouting.
"Let's all prepare, this time my brother will personally lead the team to hunt the mysterious giant. Let's set off after resupplying, don't be idle, let them go! ”
I turned my head and remembered a phrase that the fat man's grandfather had said when he used to tell us stories.
"What's the scariest thing in the world? It is the human heart. Some people are the monsters who really eat people and don't spit out bones. ”
