Chapter 13: The Demon Mound
This voice was shouted in Ruzhou dialect, which was a little vague, but I, a native of Ruzhou, still understood it in an instant, and there was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and when I opened my blurred eyes, I saw a person standing on the ground not far away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the light is too dim, I can only see a vague figure, looking at the body shape should not be Lao Zhao, this person is holding a sword in his hand, there is a fireball on the tip of the sword, it should be a burning yellow talisman, this sword is really a good sword, in the light of the fire refracted water-like ripples, no need to guess to know, this person is definitely a Taoist, we are saved.
The Taoist priest took the sword and danced in a perfect circle, and the flame not only did not go out, but grew larger and larger, until at last it was the size of a basin, and I seemed to see Newton shake the coffin board of his old man's house.
I found that those vines didn't dare to wrap around the Taoist priest at all, so they could only huddle in the darkness that the fire could not illuminate, like a monster waiting for an opportunity to move with its teeth and claws, this thing was afraid of fire!
"Go!" The Taoist priest shouted, a sword swung out, and the fireball with a basin flew towards us with a "whew", all the way like a tiger into the flock, the originally rampant vines retreated, and the two of us felt loose, fell directly from mid-air, and ate a mouthful of mud.
A pair of powerful big hands and iron claws were like a pair of iron claws around my wrists, pulling me up and running with me, my face was covered with mud, and I couldn't see the road clearly, so I could only subconsciously follow the person who pulled me, stumbling all the way to the distance.
After running for a long time, I regained a little strength, wiped a handful of mud on my face with that free hand, and then saw that we had left the village and got into a forest next to it, and the Taoist priest suddenly let go, I was caught off guard, and hit my head on the tree under the action of inertia, and suddenly my eyes were full of stars, and a big bag immediately rose on my head, and the feeling of pain let me know that I was still alive.
"Thank you...... Thank you. A voice sounded beside me, startling me, and then I realized that Xiao Zhang was by my side, and the two of us turned on the miner's lamp, and then we saw the true face of the person who saved us.
Speaking of people, in fact, he is three points like a human and seven points like a ghost. I saw that this gentleman was wearing a shabby robe, which was full of holes, miserable, and he was not covered at all, and there was a thick layer of sludge on it, as well as a mixture of dirty blood and plant juice, compared with this clothes, his face was even more miserable, I had never seen such an old person, the skin on his face was loose, all folds, hiding dirt and dirt, like wearing a mask, a haggy white hair that had not been cut for many years, a string of dreadlocks, it was really goosebumps, full of smoke and dust.
But his eyes were so bright and shining that I didn't dare look at them.
I looked at him, and I was suddenly dumbfounded, because I seemed to know who this person was, wasn't he the same young Taoist who went crazy eighty years ago in order to save the whole village, and was beaten to death by that group of soldiers and ruffians?! It's just that...... Wasn't he killed? And how did it come to me in this way?
My eyes swept his face carefully, the light of the miner's lamp made him feel a little unfamiliar, he turned his face sideways and dodged for a while, it was the kung fu of this side of his face, I saw that there was a scar the size of a wine cup on his forehead, it was a gun scar, it turned out that the shot of the bearded warlord did not put him to death, I can't imagine that a person can live alone in this dark mountain forest for eighty years! According to Aaron's description, eighty years ago, he was already in his twenties, so isn't there more than a hundred now? Also, he eats mountain dishes and wild fruits all day long, drinks mountain springs, breathes fresh air, and lives all day long, fighting against those beast zongzi or something, and his body is so strong that it is difficult to live a long life.
The old Taoist priest forced his eyes on me, and after a long time, he finally spoke, "Now...... Be...... When? ”
"Huh?" He was in this deserted mountain, and he hadn't communicated with anyone for eighty years, and he was probably already able to speak, so the tone was very strange, and the old Taoist priest's voice was hoarse, and when he spoke, Uriu was sticky and toothy, and I didn't hear it clearly.
"Now...... When is it? The old Taoist priest said again, this sentence is still vague, but it is obviously much stronger than the previous sentence, he said the local dialect of Ruzhou, and Xiao Zhang and I, two natives of Ruzhou, can understand it.
But although I understood what he meant, I didn't know how to answer him, and told him that it was the year 2016. Then he doesn't understand, let me convert, in 2016, it should be one hundred and five ...... of the Republic of China
"It's been eighty years." Xiao Zhang was afraid that the old Taoist priest would not understand, so he deliberately slowed down his speech, his answer was very witty, it is estimated that the old Taoist priest also wanted to know how long he had been here, Xiao Zhang answered directly, and also avoided letting people count, I guess he couldn't even remember when he came.
"Eighty years...... Hahaha...... It's been 80 years...... Exactly eighty years! What I didn't expect was that the old Taoist priest suddenly went crazy and raised his head and laughed wildly, his voice was rough and terrifying, like a lone wolf roaring at the moon, laughing, he suddenly covered his face and cried, his voice was desolate, and people couldn't help but cry, "They don't listen to me...... Whining...... They are all dead...... All dead...... Why don't you listen to me? Why?! ”
"He's still alive, he's still alive," the old Taoist priest suddenly pounced on me, grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and shook wildly, his eyes were red, and he was almost bleeding, "Ten million...... Don't go to that place, that's ...... It's a mound! ”
