Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Man Outside the Pool
The cold hairs on my whole body exploded instantly, and I screamed, and I desperately pulled my hand back. Liu Yang and Kong Xian hurriedly rushed over to help me, but I didn't expect that the hand would be released very easily, and I was able to withdraw my arm.
"What's wrong?"
Kong Xian and Liu Yang both anxiously surrounded me and asked.
My mind was still in a state of panic, and I said tremblingly, "Hand...... There's a hand outside holding me. ”
"Is it a fire pine nut?" Kong Xian asked.
I carefully recalled the touch, shook my head, and said, "It should be ...... Probably not, the hands of the fire pine nut have long nails, and the leather is rough and hard. But the hand that held me was soft and should be a person. However, its hands are cold, and it is also possible that it is ...... It's ......"
I want to say it's a ghost, but I can't say the word ghost. Kong Xian hugged me and whispered a few words of comfort to calm me down.
Liu Yang sighed and asked, "You say, is it possible that Mo Zhanchen and a few of them?" ”
I recalled the feeling for a moment, then shook my head, saying I didn't know. I have only shaken Lin Su's hand, but the hand that grabbed me does not look like a woman, let alone Lin Su.
"Have you made any progress?" I turned my head and asked Kong Xian, who had been looking at the writing on the wall.
He replied with a somewhat complicated expression: "Not yet, the things written on this wall seem to be prescriptions or recipes, which are not helpful for our current situation." Besides, if there really is another exit here, nine times out of ten it is near the top, and I've checked everywhere we can go, and there's no hope. ”
I was just frightened like that, but my brain cleared up a lot, and I whispered to myself "prescription ......". At this time, I vaguely felt that I had some new insights into the two paintings on the door.
I pulled Kong Xian and said, "Master Jin, see if that's the case." In the past, there was a person who wanted to get a kind of medicine, and he spent money or used other means to invite a Taoist priest who was very good at alchemy medicine at that time. The triangular space with stone statues was used as a place for them to meditate and rest, and the false name of punishing evil and promoting good was painted on the door, and the story of their becoming heroes was engraved on the wall. In order to brainwash these Taoist priests, let them eliminate their psychological burden, and feel that they are doing the right thing. However, when the Taoist priests came, they found that this prescription was very cruel and inhumane, but they had no way out. So the Taoist priest and his three disciples could only violate their conscience and refine medicine in the room where we were. Later, because the Taoist priest and his disciples took over this matter for a long time, the whole person's thinking turned black, and he felt that he was the man-eating monster, and later drew the monster cannibal picture on the door. In fact...... There are no secrets here. ”
Kong Xian nodded approvingly, suddenly smiled and leaned in my ear, and whispered, "Mu You, how long can you endure?" I can figure out such a complex problem, and I'm almost not the stupid person I know. ”
I couldn't get angry, and sarcastically said in his ear: "Yes, yes, where can I compare with Jin Ye, my brain is full of tofu brains, and your brain is soy milk." ”
Liu Yang was next to him, and he couldn't hear what we were saying, so he teased twice: "What are you doing?" Confirmed the eyes so quickly and met the right person? ”
Kong Xian laughed heartlessly a few times, and then returned to his serious appearance.
I glared back at Liu Yang and told him not to talk about useless things, and to quickly find out if there was any paper and pen.
Liu Yang couldn't figure it out, and asked in surprise: "What?" Little brother, do you want to write a letter to the ancestors of the dried corpses hanging here and burn it? ”
I smiled, learned his usual tone, and said: "Big brother, you don't understand this, I'm going to have a flying pigeon with an ally outside, hand him a small note out, maybe the ally can help us." ”
After I finished speaking, Kong Xian pointed to the counter in the corner and said, "There is paper there, but there is only a brush and no ink." ”
He didn't say that I really forgot about the counter, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, or Kong Xian was meticulous, I guess that wherever he could see in this space, he already understood how many cockroaches had died.
I went over and broke the door of the cabinet and found that there was a thick layer of oil on the cabinet, which was a little wet to the touch, but it was not sticky. I was so sick that I almost vomited the bullfrog I had just eaten. I guess it was when I was cooking these dried corpses, and the steaming corpse oil couldn't float out, so I put it on this cabinet.
I couldn't hold back my nausea and opened the cabinet door, my eyes suddenly straightened, and I didn't know whether it was a shock or a surprise, the cabinet was actually full of knives, axes, hooks, and forks. I shouted excitedly, Liu Yang was startled when he saw that I was suddenly so excited, and came over to see that these were also energetic, just like a dog looking at the bones, one by one took them out and weighed them, and selected. laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and he said: "Master Jin, you didn't say this good thing earlier." ”
Kong Xian looked unimpressed, and said, "This thing is troublesome." ”
Liu Yang smiled, picked a scimitar and an axe, and punched his head and said, "Lao Tzu is not too troublesome, this thing is at a critical time, and it is a life-saving baby." ”
I also agreed with Liu Yang's statement, picked it for a long time, and picked up a long knife with a small arm length and pinned it to his waist. As a pampered modern person, you should not have enough force and make up for weapons.
In the far corner of the cabinet, I found some rice paper, a few of which were like ghost drawings, with strange patterns drawn in blood, some like vines, but not very real. I handed it to Kong Xian and asked him to see if it was useful, but he didn't answer, so he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to look at, this kind of talisman-like diagram is unreliable and has no substantive effect." ”
Since Kong Xian said it was useless, I also took a look at it twice and stuffed it back into the cabinet. Holding a few pieces of clean paper and a blood-stained brush, the pestle was worried behind the cabinet.
I took out my hand and looked at it twice, but I couldn't bear to get some blood from it. Looking up at Liu Yang, I saw his back full of wounds, I smiled sinisterly and said to Liu Yang, "Da Yang, we don't have any ink here, borrow some of your blood, and we'll write them a blood book." ”
Liu Yang was not happy, and gestured to the row of dried corpses hanging on it and said, "There are so many corpses hanging here, and you still ask me to borrow blood?" Just find a big brother and pull two knives. ”
I glanced at him with some disdain and asked, "Do you know what a dry corpse is?" If they want blood, will I still look for you? ”
Kong Xian coughed twice, picked up a piece of carbon from the fire and threw it over, and said with a smile: "I really thought you had become smarter." ”
Blame me for not turning my brain, looking at the blood on the brush and thinking about writing a blood book, now I don't even have the qualifications to return the mouth. I had no choice but to pout, bow my head and write three big words on the paper, "Who are you?" ”。
After the previous experience, I didn't dare to stretch my arms out anymore, but don't stretch out a full set of arms and hands, and only my arms are left when I come back.
So I split two small sticks of wood in the firewood, tied them with the cloth torn from my trousers, and then tied the written slip of paper and a piece of charcoal to them, and walked them out of the mud.
After handing it out, I didn't feel the note being taken away for a long time, and after nearly five minutes, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked myself, "Won't you already be gone?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt the wooden strip in my hand move, and someone outside slowly pulled the wooden strip out of my hand. The three of us looked at each other, and our emotions were a little complicated, with anticipation and nervousness, as well as some excitement.
Kong Xian took advantage of this time to copy a copy of the words on the wall with carbon and rice paper. Liu Yang and I chatted for a few days, calculating, if it is indeed Mo Zhanchen outside, and it is safe enough, what kind of things do we use to dig, and how to dig to save effort.
But after a long time, there was still no reply. All of a sudden, our hearts tugged again, and we all frowned, and we all circled the quagmire like rats, without blinking our eyes.
Kong Xian couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out the map and sat next to him to look at it. He looked at it for a moment, then pointed to a blue-marked dot and said, "We should now be in this position, according to the direction you described, outside the cave where you are hiding from the fire pine nuts, there is a dotted line that will connect to another blue-marked location, and that location can lead directly to a pool of water next to us. If they end up with no way out, and go back outside and find the dotted path, then it's most likely that they're next to us. ”
Liu Yang and I glanced at each other, and both nodded and felt that what he said made sense. I just don't understand, if it's really Mo Dust outside, why don't you reply to us?
"It's going to be fine, right?" I read worriedly.
I didn't think about it, but before the words fell, I looked up and saw Liu Yang's eyes staring at my back, with horror written on his face. I'm facing away from the corpses right now, because the atmosphere was still quite active before, and I'm almost used to the presence of these things.
But at this time, I looked at Liu Yang's eyes, and a chill instantly hit my whole body, and I didn't dare to look back, so I turned my head to look at Kong Xian. Unexpectedly, Kong Xian, like Liu Yang, looked straight behind me.
"How...... What's going on? I asked in a trembling voice.
I saw Liu Yang swallow his saliva and whisper in a trembling voice, "They ...... They've come looking for a substitute for the dead. ”
The cold hairs all over my body stood up, and I stiffened my neck and slowly turned my head to look back.
If I hadn't forgotten what I had seen a few minutes ago, the corpses would have been facing the bronze door, but now they all turned around and lowered their heads, as if they were looking at me.
