"Aren't they going to rest a little longer?" I looked at the few cans that I hadn't finished eating, and I was puzzled by the mess in front of me.

Kong Xian carefully checked a few positions, and his face was not very good-looking, "They left in a hurry, they should have encountered something." ”

"Is there a mark or something?" I asked.

"Yes, but it only shows that they are gone, presumably in a hurry to leave a sign of where they are going. Or maybe it's chaotic, and they're not sure where they're going. ”

Hearing him say this, a sense of fear rose in my heart. What is it that keeps these people from even having time for markings? Are we now on the brink of danger without knowing it?

"What are we going to do?" My nerves tensed as I spoke, and I took in the look at everything around me.

Kong Xian was the same, his brows were furrowed, his eyes scanning around like radar, looking for the direction in which those people had left. We are also on guard against unknown dangers around us.

"Go upstairs again!"

After that, Kong Xian pulled me up the stairs and ran to the higher floors.

I noticed that there were specks of blood on the staircase, zigzag and stretched upstairs, and it must have been that the injured man could no longer walk straight, or that something was chasing the man, so that he had to dodge left and right.

"This coquettish move."

"Don't be verbose." Kong Xian whispered, "Turn off the flashlight first." ”

As soon as he said turn off the flashlight, I was very repulsed, after all, I had experienced the kidnapping of the old man before, which made my heart much more dependent on light. I don't want to turn on the flashlight again, Kong Xian next to me has become another person, if I do it again, I guess I won't dare to turn off the lights when I go to bed in the future.

Seeing that I pinched the flashlight and didn't turn it off, Kong Xian directly grabbed it for me and turned it off.

I was a little depressed, and said angrily: "If you hadn't turned off the flashlight for me last time, would the old man have been able to steal the beams and change the pillars and pull me away?" Can you stop bullying me with your eyes? Being a guide dog is addictive, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, I was still depressed, and suddenly I felt a touch of softness on my lips, and I was about to dodge, but I heard Kong Xian whispering in my ear: "Can you shut up now?" Whisper again and give you a discount. ”

……

I secretly cursed, and said in my heart: The chengguan will not take you to enforce the law so violently.

I couldn't see the stairs in the dark, so Kong Xian's speed was also pulled down by me. It wasn't until he felt that the stairs under his feet disappeared that Kong Xian's speed suddenly increased, and he half-hugged me and flashed to a corner.

He put my back against the corner and used his body to block me tightly.

I rested my head on his shoulder, trying to whisper in his ear what was going on. But before he could speak, he seemed to anticipate that I was going to speak, and hurriedly clasped my head down with his hand, so that my lips were pressed tightly against his collarbone, and I could not make a sound.

At that moment, I suddenly felt something unusual! There were some small sounds coming from not far away, as if someone was dragging their feet on the ground.

The cold hairs on my body stood up involuntarily, and I was so nervous that I barely dared to gasp. I felt Kong Xian glance in the direction where the voice came from, and then he trembled, presumably he saw something that frightened him very much.

After two minutes, the sound of the rubbing was getting closer and closer, almost all around us. My body began to shake uncontrollably, but fortunately, Kong Xian hugged me tightly, so I didn't sit down with my legs weak.

After a few seconds, the sound of rubbing almost reached Kong Xian's back, and then the sound suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood rushed into my nostrils, making me can't help but gag. The heart said: His uncle, this thing can't be a walking Mao Xuewang, right? The smell of blood is so strong, if you don't lie in the hospital to stop the bleeding, what are you going to hang around?

The more nervous I was, the heavier my breathing became, and my heart was beating like thunder, and I wanted to jump out of my chest. Kong Xian hurriedly pressed my head to his chest, in case the sound of my breathing attracted the attention of the "Mao Xuewang".

I don't know how long it took, but it would have been a minute or two, and I thought it was gone. But suddenly, I felt a wetness on my forehead, as if something was approaching! "It's over!" As soon as my breathing stopped, Kong Xian's hand holding me tightened a little, presumably he was under more psychological pressure than me.

Waiting for death is not the same thing, I gritted my teeth and thought about simply fighting with this goods, my sister is full of food and drink, and there is still some combat effectiveness, no matter what, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But within two seconds, before I could move my hand, the wet feeling on my forehead suddenly left, and then I heard the sound of rubbing again. This time, the sound gradually departed in the other direction.

I still didn't dare to move, the whole person stiffened and clubbed, until I heard the sound farther away, I silently breathed a sigh of relief, it had to stay for another minute, I guess I would have to suffocate.

Kong Xian wiped the cold sweat on my forehead with his hand, didn't stop any longer, and pulled me to gently move in the other direction.

Our movements were very slow, and I could feel Kong Xian next to me turning his head to look behind him with every step he took, as if he was dancing a tango. Through the darkness I can imagine how funny our movements were, and if we put them on stage, we would really be soul dancers.

We didn't go far, and soon we were flashing around a corner. Kong Xian threw the flashlight at me, turned around and closed a stone door. Immediately we didn't stop long, turned on the flashlight and ran forward.

"Can I speak?" I whispered a question as I ran.

Kong Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, as if he was complaining in his heart about why I talked so much.

But I can't be blamed for this, now I follow him blindly, I don't know anything, and I am beating the drum in my heart. It's okay if there is no accident, but if something unexpected happens, if I get separated, then I will really become a fly without a head.

Seeing his expression, I still didn't dare to make a sound again, until we ran to the end of the road and stopped to catch my breath, I gasped and whispered: "Kong Xian, do you have a pedigree?" It can't be a blind run. ”

"I saw the direction markers left by Linglong, and they were coming this way." Kong Xian said, pointing to a letter cut on the wall that was almost the size of an ant.

It was a capital Q, and the nicks were so shallow that you couldn't find them if you didn't look closely.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "You really don't have anyone in this look." I just want to ask, everyone has a waist disc, why are you so prominent? ”

"It's the worst compliment I've ever heard." He looked at me speechlessly, then paused, as if he had figured out something, and pointed to the mark on the wall and said to me: "Now we are barely safe, let me tell you how to look at the Linglong mark, you must remember it carefully, and you may use it in the future." ”

This is a life-saving topic, I instantly entered a serious state, obedient like a primary school student, just a little hand behind my back, little eyes to look at the teacher.

"Generally speaking, Q represents their direction of travel, and you have to follow Q's tail to see that it is not necessarily written in the right direction. This Q is placed upright, but there is a dead end ahead. Give you a chance to play and find your way. After Kong Xian finished speaking, he looked at me with a smile.

Since he wanted to test me, he must already know the answer. I followed Q's tail as he said. The front is indeed a dead end, there is nothing to say. However, Q's tail was diagonally downward, so I looked closely at the ground again. I really found something strange about this look.

I saw that there were a few bluestone bricks on the ground that didn't fit well, and if I guessed correctly, they should have been pulled out of the ground.

"It's that simple?" I proudly pointed it out to Kong Xian.

He nodded and continued, "In addition to Q, there are a few other letters that have different meanings. For example, both k and f represent a danger here, and if there is a mark k on the wall, this danger usually represents a moving organism. For example, when we were going upstairs before, I saw the K mark on the wall next to the stairs. And F stands for the danger that needs to be triggered, such as traps. ”

"Speaking of which, what exactly did we encounter? The smell of blood is so strong. "I interrupted Kong Xian.

Seeing that I was distracted, he slapped me on the forehead in displeasure and said, "You are really the worst class of students I have ever led." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." I hurriedly smiled shyly and said, "Who let our old master Confucius give a good lecture, doesn't this develop my diffuse thinking." Tell me about it first, and then it's time for recess. ”

"Did I speak for five minutes? You just take a break between classes. He looked at me with an eyebrow, and I could only smile flatteringly.

Saying that, he shook his head and described, "It's not a thing out there, it's a person." However, it should not be a living person. ”

"Not a living person? Can dead people still walk around? Is it a corpse? "I was amazed.

Kong Xian obviously didn't know the principle, but just described: "His body is very stiff, he needs to drag his feet on the ground, his whole body is covered with dark red bloodstains, his facial features can no longer be seen, and his skin is all melted as if it has been corroded." I guess we didn't have this thing before we left, they must have triggered something behind it. ”

"Not necessarily." I recalled all the details from the first step into the tower until now. analyzed: "Didn't the old man put the two of us in a coffin before? The liquid in the coffin has a very strong smell of medicine, you say, is it possible that the monster was originally soaked in the coffin to make corpse wine? Is it because the old man moved the corpse out that it caused the corpse? ”

Kong Xian suddenly laughed when he heard what I said, shook his head and sighed: "Imagination is really rich, but this possibility is not impossible. After all, it is impossible for Li Buxiao to put two empty coffins there, just to facilitate the kidnapping of the two of us by the descendants of Qin. After speaking, Kong Xian looked back at the direction we came from, "It's not suitable to stay here for more, let's follow Linglong's mark first and see if we can catch up with them." ”

With that, he crouched down and fumbled for the bricks on the ground. He moves slowly, as if looking for something. A moment later, he suddenly slammed into the two bricks. I saw that the two bricks were like springs, and they sank one centimeter in an instant, and then he quickly pinched the middle brick and pulled it up, and the brick was taken out.
