Chapter 30: Strange People and Strange Words
It seemed that Zhong Huachi's drug had already worked, Yan Heyi covered his mouth and nose and turned that person around, and a miserable and terrifying face suddenly came into his eyes. In control of these mechanisms was a gray-haired man, half of his face burned so that he could not see what it was originally, and even the other half was crooked and full of scars.
"Oh, is this a human or a ghost?" Zhong Huachi leaned over to take a look, stuffed a small red pill into the man's mouth, and reminded Yan Heyi, "He will wake up after half a cup of tea, do you want to tie his hands and feet first?" Yan Heyi shook his head gently, "No, he's just an ordinary person." ”
After half a cup of tea, the man woke up faintly, and saw two strangers looking at him, and immediately was shocked, and cried out, "Who are you and why are you here?" Zhong Huachi played with a sharp knife and slashed in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, "It doesn't matter who we are, but you, sneakily hiding here, and making up so many tricks, pretending to be a ghost, what do you want to do?" ”
The man's face changed, he turned his head and snorted coldly, and said no more. Zhonghua Chi Qi's seven orifices were smoking, and he was about to do it when he rolled up his arms and sleeves. Yan Heyi stopped him and bowed deeply to the man and said, "We have no intention of disturbing, but it is only because of the rumors of ghosts and gods here that we came to take a look with curiosity." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you're here for the second time!" It seemed that the man knew everything about everyone who stepped into it. Zhong Huachi said with a grin, "Even if it's the second time, this is not your home, we can come if we want, and leave if we want!" ”
The man sneered, "I'm afraid you guys are coming in and can't get out!" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly rolled to the side and pulled a white stick, and the gears rattled and rattled again.
Zhong Huachi shouted "Be careful", grabbed Yan Heyi and rolled to the side. Nothing unusual appeared where they had been standing, and the man had vanished. This place should not stay for a long time, Yan Heyi turned around and ran towards the stairs, wanting to return the same way, but fortunately, the stairs that stood there just now had disappeared.
"His uncle, play yin!" Zhonghua Chi saw that he had fallen for that person's plan again, and he was even more angry. He estimated the distance to the next floor, and jumped down without discussing it with Yan Heyi.
"Hua Chi!" Yan Heyi wanted to stop him, but it was too late. As soon as Zhong Huachi's feet landed, he couldn't wait to raise his head, wanting to beckon Yan Heyi to come down together. At this moment, a strange grinding sound sounded in all directions, like a swarm of locusts flapping their wings, flying towards this direction.
After a moment of stunned effort, Yan Heyi sensed that danger was approaching. He gritted his teeth and jumped down, and the swarms of small insects that flashed with a ghostly light had already flown in front of him. Zhonghua Chitian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of these little things with wings, and now he is still rushing towards them in groups. He snatched the torch from Yan Heyi's hand and waved it at the insects.
The insects burned by the flames immediately emitted a pungent and unpleasant smell, which attracted more insects to fly in this direction, some of which had already penetrated into their sleeves and necklines, opening their small mouths and gnawing at their flesh.
The itchy, numb, and painful feeling immediately made Zhong Huachi wriggle his body and shouted, "Damn worm, Heyi, you quickly think of a way, if you continue like this, I will be bitten to death by them!" Yan Heyi's situation was no better than his, and he tried his best to endure it, looking for a way to get rid of these bugs.
It was only three or four meters away from the next floor, and it was not difficult for the two of them to jump down, but he was worried that there would be another mechanism on the next floor. Zhong Huachi took out all the antidote pills on his body and poured them into his mouth one by one. He urged, "Don't hesitate, jump down first, I can't stand it!" ”
The flesh on the back of his hand had already been scratched by him, Yan Heyi threw down the flying eagle claws and firmly fixed them in one place, and then jumped down with Zhong Huachi. Those insects lost their target, and suddenly made a mess above their heads, and with a "boom", two fire snakes erupted from the wall of the upper floor, turning those flying insects into ashes, Zhong Huachi wiped cold sweat and said, "Fortunately, we came down, otherwise at this time, it would be a roasted whole person!" ”
The two of them didn't dare to stay for a moment, there were many mechanisms in this white tower, and they would die at any time. But at this moment, a huge terrifying face appeared on the wall, and it was the strange man. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Trespassers on the forbidden land, die!" ”
The last word was almost squeezed out between the teeth, making people shudder. Yan Heyi said unhurriedly, "If I'm not mistaken, the real owner here is your ancestor!" As soon as these words came out, not only the strange man, but even Zhong Huachi was stunned. He leaned closer to Yan Heyi and whispered, "Hey, are you talking about it casually, or do you have any real evidence?" ”
Yan Heyi smiled, "There are many mechanisms here, it is not easy to survive, if there are still people who can control these mechanisms, it must be the master here." It's just that I don't understand, the things of ghosts and gods are nothing but nothingness, but I saw those people with my own eyes that night, but I couldn't touch their bodies, what was going on? ”
An ugly face was hideous and distorted, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or surprised. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's rare that someone can see through my identity, and with your cleverness, you should figure out what is going on." ”
Yan Heyi looked at the changes on his face, was suddenly stunned, and tried to ask, "Is it a bronze mirror?" The only thing left of the strange man was a hint of approval in his eyes, "Yes, it's the bronze mirror!" Zhong Huachi suddenly realized, "So that's what happened, you used a huge bronze mirror and the right light to refract the scene to another place, like a mirage!" ”
"Even a mirage can only be formed if there is a real object. In other words, there are other people here besides you, right? Yan Heyi always believed that what he saw that night was not an illusion, and those people were real. But why do they hide here day and night, pretending to be ghosts?
"You've got too many questions!" The strange man's tone changed, "I know, you came here just to prove that there are no ghosts here, and to persuade those people to dig ditches and water the fields. I can let you go, but you must not reveal a single word of what you see and hear here, or I will leave you in a different place even if I don't leave here!" ”
As he spoke, the strange face disappeared, and after a sound of gear collision, the stairs appeared strangely!
