Volume 1, Ghost City of the Bone Forest _ Chapter 79, The Smell of Gunpowder
"Strange, why is Big Brother Bead here?"
Luo Qiong's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand. The fat man and I are also a bit of a circle. I didn't dare to show my head, staring at the beads from afar, he took a few strong men around the Xuanming Temple a few times, and also handed each other a few cigarettes, which looked more familiar. After a while, he began to use a ruler and a telescope to observe the surrounding terrain, and he did not look like an ordinary tourist. Besides, the average tourist who will come here?
"Could it be that the beads are turning back?"
The fat man tugged at my arm and asked strangely. I nodded, and I also thought that it was possible, Zhuzi was a businessman, although the image of me and the fat man before was very righteous, but a businessman is a businessman, and the first thing that comes to mind is always money. Although the fat man and I have the potential to succeed, after all, we don't have the benefits of those competitive masters outside. It is not impossible for Zhuzi to join friends outside to explore Xuanming Temple, of course, it is also possible that these are masters sent by the Ling family, and Zhuzi will take them to see the terrain first.
"Fatty, do you have cigarettes on you?"
I opened my mouth to ask, and the fat man immediately nodded, thinking that I was going to smoke, and touched one out, but I shook my head and said, "Ready, let's go over and say hello." If the other party is good at talking, he will send a cigarette, and if he is not good at talking, you will guard my back. ”
Xuanming Temple was discovered by me and the fat man first, and to be honest, I decided that Xuanming Temple was our territory from the beginning. People all went to their own territory to explore the way but didn't say hello, so what should we do as hosts have to go over to see it.
Standing up, he walked over with the fat man and Luo Qiong in great strides, and they didn't notice any trace of us at first, and they were pulling the strong man to talk.
"Brother Zhuzi, come to Xuanming Temple early in the morning to step on something?"
My voice came coldly from behind the beads, but I saw him shake his shoulders in surprise and then turn his head to look at me. People tend to reveal their true psychology in an instant when they are unprepared, and the moment the bead turned, I saw the panic in his eyes, obviously, he didn't expect us to appear, and there must be something hidden from us.
"Oh, Xiaoshan, why did you come so early?"
The beads adjusted quickly, and it didn't take long for them to return to normal, and he said with a smile.
"Won't Brother Zhu introduce us? Where are these masters? ”
The fat man tacitly shifted the topic directly to a few strong men.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it after chatting all day, these are friends sent by Lingyan. The one next to me is the leader, named Gu Yu. Gu Yu, these are the people I mentioned to you before who first discovered Xuanming Temple, Ba Xiaoshan, Cui Zhen, and Luo Qiong standing behind. ”
Gu Yu, I haven't heard much of this name, of course, I am not very familiar with these people who are mixed in the Tao. So it's normal not to have heard of their names.
"Hello."
I nodded to Gu Yu, this person doesn't look like a good stubble, everyone has a different temperament, some people are scholars at a glance, and some people know that they are hooligans at a glance. And Gu Yu in front of me has a capable feeling, more like a soldier, but it seems to be a little less serious and solemn than a soldier, and more of a social bastard. He was smoking, and because he was taller than me, he squinted at me with his peripheral vision.
"You are Ba Xiaoshan, I am Gu Yu, and behind me are the two brothers who were born and died with me. The one with glasses is called Dian, and the other is Wei Changping. We have been following the three mountain masters to eat. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook it with mine, and the moment his palm touched, he suddenly felt like he was pinched by a vice, and his palm hurt, and his whole hand turned red at once.
I frowned suddenly, and the fat man behind me saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, ", what are you doing!" Let go! ”
As soon as he scolded here, Diane and Wei Changping behind Gu Yu immediately turned cold, surrounded from behind, and their hands were touched into their clothes, looking like they were digging out of the guys. On our side, Luo Qiong, this kid is a hunter in the mountains, even though he doesn't know much about human feelings, but he has a sharper sense of danger than anyone else. As soon as he grasped the three-edged thorn on his waist, his eyes danced with hostility, like a beast on alert.
Less than three minutes after the first meeting between the two groups, the two sides entered a tense hostile situation. Zhu Zi watched from the side, his face was also very ugly, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone is going to cooperate soon, and we will make a fortune together in the future, why do you have to be so stiff, haha......"
However, Gu Yu held my hand but didn't mean to let it go at all, slowly leaned his head over, looked at me and said: "When I was as old as you, I didn't know how thick the sky was, and it wasn't until someone cut off one of my little fingers that I realized that I didn't have the capital to be arrogant." If you want, I can cut off your little finger so that you can understand this sooner. ”
As he spoke, he jerked his hand over, and with his other hand pulled out a steel-bladed dagger from behind his back, slicing it at my little finger. Before the blade fell, he suddenly stopped moving, and the bead screamed badly, but he heard me say coldly: "You cut one and try it." ”
Gu Yu didn't dare to make a move, because a three-edged thorn had already been pointed under his armpit, as long as he dared to cut my hand, I would immediately pierce a hole in him.
The two sides fell silent again, as if we were surrounded by countless powder kegs, and a single spark would explode at once.
"Haha......" I didn't think that in the end, Gu Yu laughed, and said while laughing, "Interesting, I've learned kung fu, and my reaction is fast enough." ”
As he spoke, he slowly moved the knife away, and finally we both let go of our hands and took a step back.
In fact, I don't have much kung fu, this trick was taught to me by the fat man's grandfather, in the words of the old man, if you just want to learn one or two tricks to defend yourself, then learn the simplest and most effective action, people's armpits, the part close to the back is the most difficult place to defend, and it is also the easiest part to hit, as long as you have confidence, you must attack the armpit, and you must hit it with a blow.
Gu Yu thought that my means were good, but in fact, I knew how much I was capable of.
"Three days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, we met here. Don't be late, let's go......"
Gu Yu set the time, beckoned, and left with the other two people swaggering.
After they left, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, turned my head to look at Zhuzi, who shook his head with some guilt and said, "Gu Yu arrived a few days ago, and I was looking for it first." It means that I want to get rid of you and explore Xuanming Temple before you find out. I've been dragging it, and I only brought them here to step on it today, but I didn't expect to bump into you, I'm sorry......"
There are some truths and some falsehoods in these words, I am afraid that only the beads themselves know. I put away the thorns, smiled and said, "It's okay, we understand." Did you gain anything from stepping on the spot this time? ”
Seeing that I didn't get angry, Zhuzi seemed to be a little more relaxed, beckoned and led us to the back wall of Xuanming Temple, only to see the wall that was good a few times before, but this time it strangely opened a hole! The hole is so large that even a fat man can easily climb into it.
"How can there be a hole?"
I frowned strangely.
"Look at it again."
The bead pointed to the side of the cave, and I leaned over to take a closer look, and at a glance I saw some dark red marks on the walls of the cave. I couldn't help frowning, what are these dark red marks? Luo Qiong watched from behind me, and suddenly said, "It seems to be bloodstains." ”
He was accustomed to seeing this kind of trace in the mountains, so he took a closer look, and then nodded affirmatively: "It's bloodstains, and it should be animal bloodstains, as for what kind of animal, I don't think there can be a large beast here in Shanghai, it should be domestic pigs, wild cats and wild dogs and the like." ”
The white-faced monster had eaten dead cat meat in the cemetery before, and there must be more than one white-faced monster in the underground river. Maybe during the days we went to the Great Black Mountain, something crawled out of the ground. Judging by the extent of the damage to the temple, it may have been something more terrifying than the white-faced monster.
"I have a few pictures, you can take a look." Zhu Zi took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them over, "During the time you went to Nurul Tiger Mountain, I would come over with my camera every once in a while, and this was the ...... taken one of the nights."
I took the photo and looked at it, and the first thing I saw was a pair of shining eyes in the photo!
