Chapter 739: A Carrion Corpse
He Wenqin's eyes were quick, and as soon as the ring moved, he pounced.
There is a lot of movement when the chest collides with the ground, but even this can't cover the large shattering sound coming from the top of your head.
When the ring was pulled, the knives were all out of their tracks and slammed into the air, sometimes slamming into each other, sometimes slamming against the wall, and the loud noise sounded as if something had exploded.
This situation is completely expected, although the overhead pull ring can stop the steel knife from moving, but it must be in the correct position when all the knife edges can be terminated normally, I am forcibly pulling the pull ring, it is like the engine is forcibly blocked when it is spinning at high speed, the fan blades stop, but the engine is still spinning, and it has to fall apart when it rotates.
I quickly turned over, pressed He Wenqin under my body, turned the flashlight slightly, and shot at the white old dog, just now I forgot to remind him that he was lying down, fortunately, the old thing is experienced, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he lay on the ground, and when I shot at him, two steel knives flew over his head and plunged into the wall behind him.
It's really a dog, and these steel knives can even pierce through the Seven Gold Stones!
It didn't take long for the steel knife to hit the ground, the one that should have pierced into the wall, and the surroundings finally survived.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and when I looked down, I saw that most of my pants were soaked with blood.
The injured person was not me, but He Wenqin, just now a knife cut down his thigh, directly cutting the artery in his leg, and now his blood is spurting out like a fountain.
I hurriedly took out the bandage and forcibly stopped He Wenqin's blood, and the white old dog shouted behind me: "Ximei! ”
Gu Granny They quickly rushed over, I had heard that most of the Gu women in Miao Jiang were also proficient in medical skills, now it seems that this is indeed true, after Gu Granny came, she first used Gu to stop He Wenqin's bleeding, and then planted a thread Gu on He Wenqin's body, and "connected" the major artery in his leg.
Didn't He Wenqin's leg artery break? The thread Gu planted on his body by Granny Gu was like a very thin rubber tube, connecting the broken arteries, to be honest, I had never heard of such a thing before.
Granny Gu said that this kind of thread Gu is very gentle on the host, and it only needs to absorb a little nutrient from the host to survive for a long time, and there will be no rejection between the host and the thread Gu, and you can leave it alone after planting, but she also said that He Wenqin's arteries are connected, and other tissues that can be cut off by the steel knife are not so easy to use.
I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, if I hadn't asked He Wenqin to come in to help just now, he wouldn't have suffered such a serious wound.
"I'm sorry for you." I said to He Wenqin with some embarrassment.
"What are you talking about," He Wenqin was holding a sterilization needle and meat thread in his hand, sewing up the wound on his leg little by little, and said with a smile: "If I hadn't come in to help just now, how could I rely on you later." ”
He Wenqin deliberately made a relaxed appearance, but when he spoke, his tongue trembled with pain.
He said this very briefly, and the specific meaning is that if he hadn't pounced on me just now, I would have hung up, because my attention was on the pull ring, and when the pull ring was pulled out, I took the initiative to lie down, and it was too late for time, and there must be a person with superb body to knock me down at the moment when the pull ring was pulled.
So it was really impossible to let He Wenqin come in to help.
At this time, Bai Lao Gou suddenly said: "He Baoyuan's body technique is really so powerful, he can pass through such a trap array?" ”
I thought about it carefully and said, "Not only is he powerful, but he also knows a lot about the arrangement of the old Jin family. Remember the Thousand Spider Array and the Fire Oil Array, just because of their good body skills, they couldn't pass through those two trap arrays at all. He Baoyuan ....... He Baoyuan was able to go through the first two formations, mainly because he knew every detail of the formation. He was able to walk through the maze before, which also shows that he is very aware of the changes in the maze. ”
"That's what you say...... It's a bit of nonsense, just a madman, how can you know so many things? ”
"Uncle Bai, don't think I'm. When people go crazy, the more simple and straightforward things are, the more they can't remember, but the more delicate and complex things are, the clearer they remember, because they are deep memories, and some even directly act on the subconscious. ”
The old white dog snorted from his nose, and then ignored me and asked He Wenqin instead: "Your old He family, have you exchanged inheritance with the gold price?" ”
He Wenqin was seriously injured, and his breath would become very chaotic when he said a word, and everyone else tried not to disturb him, but Bai Laogou didn't care about this at all.
He Wenqin cut the meat thread with a dagger, and it took a long time to get used to the pain, and it took a long time before he shook his head at me and Bai Laogou: "No, the inheritance of the He family and the Jin family is not passed on, let alone the exchange inheritance, even this old house of the Jin family, the Jin family will not let us see it." In the past, when the He family came to look for them, they all met in the mountains. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly saw the metal box I was carrying on my waist, which I had found near the tunnel exit when I was the first person to enter.
He Wenqin pointed to the box on my waist and said, "Where did you get this thing?" ”
I untied the box and handed it to him: "It's over in the tunnel." ”
When He Wenqin's fingers touched the box, he lost his strength because he couldn't bear the pain in his legs, and the box fell to the ground with a "clang", and then he gritted his teeth and built the box, holding it in his hand to observe it carefully.
At first, I was still thinking that this thing might be left by He Jiayun, but after a while, He Wenqin suddenly said: "This box is a congratulatory gift from the Lao Jin family to our family when my father got married. This thing has been missing for more than twenty years, how did it end up here? ”
Missing for more than twenty years? In other words, it disappeared after the gold price was extinguished and the He family fell into the middle of the road.
I asked He Wenqin: "Have you always been held by the seniors of the family movement?" ”
"No, Jia Yun doesn't know the existence of this thing, and it's just an ordinary old object, and it's not a particularly valuable thing."
"How did you go missing?"
"I moved 20 years ago and lost a small box full of unimportant things, and this box was among them."
"What's in it? The box is quite weighty, and it is locked, so I feel that the contents may be more valuable. ”
"This box has never been used before, it is empty."
As He Wenqin was talking, the pain in the wound came up, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak, and his body trembled.
The old white dog took the box from him and exchanged it for mine.
I carefully studied the structure of the box, to be honest, the lock on the top is nothing, but the box itself is a thousand shuttle structure, a thousand shuttles, is equivalent to a thousand locks, to open it is not easy. The key to this structure is that there is no key at all, and once it is locked, even He Wenqin cannot open it.
I can't help it, I can only put the box away first, and then find a way to open it when I have a chance later.
Seeing that He Wenqin was in a cold sweat in pain, Granny Gu could only try to relieve his pain, saying that it was painkiller, but in fact, she used Gu to paralyze He Wenqin's nerves, and as the pain disappeared, all of He Wenqin's perception abilities, including touch, balance, and smell, would become relatively dull.
Because I want to explore the way ahead, I can only let Lao Ruan follow Granny Gu with He Wenqin on his back, and I can take care of it somewhat.
The road in this place has been extending in the direction of due north, after passing through the house, it is a tunnel leading to the north, before entering the tunnel, I first put light on the inside, look at the length of this tunnel, and at the end, I should have reached the center of the mountain.
The old white dogs waited outside as usual, and I walked alone in the tunnel with a flashlight.
There was no wind in this place, it was very quiet, and as I walked, I felt an inexplicable chill, as if something was lying on my back, blowing cool air on my neck.
I can't tell you how long it's been since I've felt like this.
The back of my neck was getting colder and colder, and I was curious, so I turned my head to look, and there was only a narrow tunnel behind me, and the light shone through, casting a narrow spot of light on one of the stone walls, and nothing else.
It's true that there is no abnormal yin qi in this place, and it is reasonable to say that there should be no ghosts, but what is the feeling just now?
I said hello to myself, turned around and walked on.
When I was about to reach the exit of the tunnel, I deliberately slowed down, and if I guessed correctly, there should be a water array arranged by Lao Jin's family in front of me.
Just as I slowed down my steps, there was a sudden "snort" sound in front of me, and a pair of feet hanging in the air appeared directly above the tunnel exit.
I took a light of it, and I was wearing old cloth shoes on one foot, and the other foot was on my feet, and the bare sole of the foot was so swollen that the skin on the foot was a very dark red.
This is a corpse that has been dead for eight to ten days, but why can't it smell rancid?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was another long sound outside, and the whole body fell from above the exit.
I didn't dare to be careless, just spilled the yang line, pulled the corpse to the side and took a closer look, the corpse was very swollen, the abdomen was full of gas, and the whole tongue was spit out of the mouth, I really couldn't tell what this person looked like before his death, but from the color of his hair, I could probably deduce that the deceased should be about the same age as He Wenqin, but it is not very accurate to infer the age from the hair alone.
