Chapter 22: The Eyes of the Stone Statue

I didn't bother to fight with him, there were too many things I didn't understand, since he didn't want to say what he asked before, so he changed the topic and asked: "When the collapse occurred, how did you save Liu Yang and Lin Su?" ”

He touched my head and said helplessly, "It's useless to ask some questions." ”

I said in my heart, you don't want to tell me if it's useful, and you don't want me to ask anything inconsequential, what else do you want me to do? Accompany you to talk about awkward chats, awkward chats with parents? No, now that water is so scarce, I have no intention of wasting my saliva.

Kong Xian was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, sighed and said, "We are not as lucky as you to fall to the palm-sized place at the corner of the underground river. There is a cliff where we fell, and no matter which side of the cliff we fell on, it was a dead end. I can tell you the truth that the reason why I survived was because I stepped on the backs of a few villagers, used them as stepping stones, and acted as a buffer, and in the end all the villagers died. Do you think I'm cruel? ”

I shook my head at him and didn't blame him. I don't know why, Mo Ranchen was reluctant to save the villager with a broken leg before, and I complained for a long time. But Kong Xian is now telling me that he is stepping on other people's lives, but I don't feel anything, maybe I haven't seen it with my own eyes.

I know Kong Xian's indifference, but I don't know where his indifference comes from. Although Kong Xian has a delicate appearance and looks harmless to humans and animals, he has never been a white lotus. I didn't dare to take it lightly, but I knew that the blood on his hands was beyond my imagination.

Seeing that I didn't blame him, he continued, "At that time, I grabbed Liu Yang with a belt, and he grabbed Lin Su, and rescued the two of them. However, as soon as the two of them climbed up, one of the villagers fell behind me and inadvertently pushed me, and I was forced to fall off the cliff. However, I was relatively close to the edge of the cliff, which was not too deep, and I hung a few rocks with my hands halfway through, and finally landed relatively smoothly. As he spoke, he rolled up the sleeves of his sweatshirt and showed me the scratches on his forearms.

I was a little sleepy, my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for me to lean on Kong Xian and fall asleep.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the ground, and Kong Xian was crouching by the stone wall not far away, looking at the ancient characters on it. Liu Yang had already woken up, and he was babbling something in his mouth. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, only to find that Liu Yang was staring at one of the stone statues, and said, "I said that this place is really evil, and there is a stone statue in one of the three corners, making us look like monsters in that pot." ”

I've had this kind of thought before when he said it, but I didn't think about it deeply, and now that I hear him say it again, I feel uncomfortable. I said to him, "Don't think about those nonsense, hurry up and see if there is a place to go out, I don't want to open the door to meet the cute little animals outside." ”

"Yo, the little brother is awake." Liu Yang said with a grin.

I hummed and got up and stretched.

At this time, my eyes were attracted by Kong Xian, who was squatting by the stone wall. He just crouched there motionless, his eyes on the stone wall, and he didn't talk to us. I was a little strange and shouted, "Master Jin." ”

He didn't say anything, I felt something was wrong, so I was going to go over and have a look. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up, turned to look at me and Liu Yang, and after a while, said to me coldly: "Give me back the knife." ”

I was a little confused, thinking that he was going to do something with the knife, so I hurriedly handed it over. Unexpectedly, he just shook it and took it back into his pocket. I had a black line on my face, and my heart said, what? Are you afraid that I will rub you with a knife?

Liu Yang also looked at Kong Xian strangely and asked, "Master Jin, what's your situation?" ”

Kong Xian didn't say a word, and I didn't bother to guess what he was thinking, so I patted Liu Yang on the shoulder and said, "Leave him alone, let's find a place to go out quickly." ”

Once I seriously faced the environment I was in, the feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger, and I looked back at the painting on the bronze door. At this glance, an indescribable strange feeling surged into my senses.

It's different from the beginning, at first I thought the painting was ghostly, but now I feel as if something has changed, as if the monster inside is about to come back to life.

I retreated to Kong Xian's side with some anxiety, but I didn't expect that when he saw me approaching him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he kept dodging to the side. That's when I realized what the problem was, Kong Xian was definitely not normal, I don't know what happened to him after I fell asleep, but this shouldn't be the reaction he should have now.

"Eh, do you think?" Liu Yang looked at a stone statue and suddenly said, "This thing looks like it's alive, why do I always think that its eyes are rolling with me?" ”

When he said this, I was shocked, and hurried to look at the painting on the bronze door, and sure enough, I finally knew where that feeling came from. I distinctly remember the first time I looked at this painting, the monster in the pot had its eyes to the left, the second time I looked at it, its eyes seemed to turn a little more, and now when I look at it, its eyes are staring at me directly.

"There's a problem here, be careful." I reminded softly, but my voice trembled uncontrollably.

The strange thing is that Kong Xian didn't say anything, he didn't stare at the stone statue and the painting on the bronze door like us, but like the monster in the painting, he kept staring at me and Liu Yang.

"Master Jin." Liu Yang and I looked at each other, and then called him softly.

There was a defensiveness in his eyes, as if he were looking at two enemies.

I cautiously asked, "Are you alright?" How it doesn't feel normal. ”

He didn't answer me, but asked me and Liu Yang, "Do you believe that the monster on the bronze door can turn into a human form?" ”

After hearing this, my scalp was numb, and my whole body shivered. couldn't help but be like Kong Xian, and began to be on guard. I backed away a bit, keeping a safe distance from the two of them.

Liu Yang's heart was big, and when he heard it, he felt that Kong Xian was talking nonsense, and scolded: "Master Jin, do you think it's appropriate for you to tell us a ghost story at this time?" ”

Kong Xian ignored him either, and said to himself: "There is a problem among us, if we don't find out who that person is, I'm afraid no one will be able to get out." ”

Liu Yang was not happy when he heard this, and said to him: "Lao Tzu now thinks that the most problematic thing is you, what is your situation?" How can it be like falling into an evil spirit, and you don't have a beep in your heart if the monster can turn into a human form? ”

To be honest, I think what Liu Yang said is right, his big personality makes me feel more normal. However, for what Kong Xian said, monsters can turn into human forms, which is beyond my cognition, and after experiencing the strange things before, I can't be completely calm psychologically.

"I'm asking you a few questions." Kong Xian still ignored us, and said to himself: "If you are asked to choose one person you trust the most at this moment, it must only be one, who do you choose?" ”

Liu Yang and I glanced at each other, and both chose each other, completely excluding Kong Xian. I didn't want to be angry with him, but I felt that he was not normal at the moment, and there was a distrust and hostility in his eyes towards us.

"Master Jin, can we not make trouble, can't you just say what happened?" Liu Yang looked at Kong Xian helplessly and said.

Kong Xian looked at Liu Yang and then at me, suddenly sighed, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

We don't know why.

He continued, "I know I shouldn't be suspicious of you, but there's a lot more to it than I know. Can you read the words on the stone wall? ”

After he finished speaking, Liu Yang and I deliberately leaned up to take a look at it, I really couldn't understand a word, those words were written like earthworms, not to mention what words were written, I couldn't even tell which of the few strokes made up of a word, if Lin Suzai should be able to easily decipher it. We all shook our heads in response to Kong Xian.

Kong Xian said: "I can roughly understand it, to the effect that there was a kind of evil spirit that lived in this underground and could devour people's souls and live in people's bodies. A group of people in the north passed by here, fought with this evil ghost for ten days, and finally ordered the disciples to build such a trapped ghost array underground, and the three disciples turned into stone statues to guard the three gods. ”

"So we stumbled into a place that was used to seal away demons in ancient times?" I asked.

Kong Xian nodded.

Liu Yang's frightened eyes glanced around and shouted, "Mom...... Aren't we in the ghost nest, that thing won't be alive, Lao Tzu's little heart has been frightened too much today, but I can't stand it, I guess my fat gall has been scared thin. ”

If I were standing on the ground safely now, I wouldn't believe this thing, and Kong Xian's IQ was slightly higher than mine, so I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it. But we're in such a weird environment right now, and we've been through so many weird and unexplained things before. If you have to say that you are not afraid at all, it is just a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Judging by Kong Xian's reaction, he must have been frightened before, so he was so wary of me and Liu Yang, and even took back the multi-functional Swiss Army knife in my hand. However, this guy is a man who has seen the world, and he finally decided to tell us about it, proving that he has come out of his fear and regained his composure.

It's just that Liu Yang and I don't have such a good mentality as him, I am now nervous and nervous, looking at these stone statues, the more frightened I become, I always feel that these people seem to be alive, their eyes follow us, and the monster on the bronze door.

Liu Yang was even more sweaty, and his eyes were looking everywhere like radar, for fear that a monster would come out of some corner and invite us to the Hades Hall for tea.

In addition, Kong Xian said that the monster will live in the human body and devour the soul of the person, and we all feel strange when we look at each other, and we always feel that there is a monster Fu on whom.
