Chapter 35: The Blind Ghost
I nodded, I understood. smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, I won't have to touch another wave of people, if it's not people, I shouldn't be able to light the lamp. However, if it is human, at least I feel a little comforted.
I took two steps forward, but Brother Mao and Chi Zi didn't catch up, so I continued to walk forward slowly. After walking straight for nearly four or five meters, I turned around and saw Brother Mao and the others starting to start following me.
After walking a dozen steps, the corridor with oil lamps has come to an end, and the place behind is not only the old lampstand, but also the green bricks on the ground are very dilapidated, and many things that look like moss grow in the cracks.
I continued walking, getting darker and darker as I went, until the light of the oil lamp was no longer enough to illuminate the road in front of me.
I was about to turn back to see Brother Mao and Chi Zi, when suddenly a force pulled me up, so fast that I didn't even have a brain to react.
By the time I regained my mind, I felt like I was lying in someone's arms. I reflexively wanted to use my elbow to attack the person behind me, but it didn't work, he was very strong and reacted quickly, holding my left hand and directly controlling both of my hands, and covering my mouth with the other hand.
"Don't move." A deep voice came to my ears.
I was stunned for a moment, the voice turned out to be ...... Don't stain the dust!
I quickly became honest, after all, in my heart, Mo Ranchen is still a trustworthy partner, and he can be regarded as a teammate who is born and dies. When he saw that I was no longer struggling, he relaxed his strength. Then, he whispered in my ear, "Those two, not people." ”
I said to myself, not only are these two not people, they're not things. Thinking so, I still asked Mo Ranchen in disbelief: "How can it not be a human?" ”
Mo Ranchen pointed to Brother Mao and Chi Zi, who were approaching us, and said, "One of them has a hole in his head, and the other has a wound in the back and heart, both of which are fatal injuries. ”
My whole brain is buzzing, I dare to be in love for so long I've been with ...... Dealing with two ghosts. After a while, the feeling of fear spread from the bottom of my heart to my whole body, and I couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that Lin Su had said that Mo Yanchen might also be dead. asked Mo Ranchen in a trembling whisper: "That...... Are you alive then? ”
He didn't speak, just put his hand over my face. I realized that he wanted me to feel the temperature in the palm of his hand, and I was relieved.
When Brother Mao and Chi Zi walked to the closest place to us, I took the oil lamp in Brother Mao's hand and carefully looked at the two fatal injuries that Mo Ranchen said. It was found that there was indeed a walnut-sized hole behind Brother Mao's right ear, which was black and half blocked by hair. And the location of the heart behind the pool does have a bloodstain.
I half-narrowed my eyes and leaned into Mo Ranchen's arms, feeling that my breathing was very tight.
Chi Zi looked at Brother Mao and asked, "Brother Mao, that girl won't run away by herself, right?" ”
Brother Mao was angry, slapped the pool on the head and said, "That's not because of you, let you tie it up and tie it up, you just take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear." Hurry up, find out if there is a fork in the road in this place. ”
I was afraid that they would find out, so I shrank into Mo Yanchen's arms again. Only then did we notice that we were in a depression in the wall near the top. This depression is not deep, and it is not easy to accommodate the two of us, and there is no way to go into it at all.
Watching Brother Mao and Chi Zi gradually walk away, I was still in a cold sweat layer by layer, always afraid that they would come back. It wasn't until I couldn't see their backs clearly that Mo Ranchen pushed me and said, "Go down, they won't come back." ”
I said "um", I turned over and jumped down, but I didn't expect that fear made my legs as soft as cotton, and as soon as I landed, I knelt down directly, and a dog ate.
After Mo Ranchen came down, he grabbed me by the collar from behind and pulled me to stand up. I laughed awkwardly twice and replied, "Thank you." ”
He didn't say much, he patted me on the back and said, "Follow me." After saying that, he took me back to the room with Shi Ding.
I looked at him a little puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here?" Is there a way here? ”
Ignoring me, he walked over to the corpse and moved it to another place.
Only then did I realize that there was a palm-sized depression under the corpse. Mo Ranchen punched the depression with all his strength, and I looked straight at it, as if my hands were beginning to hurt, but he looked calm, as if it was not his hand that smashed on the stone.
"Squeak, squeak......" A strange sound sounded above my head.
I looked up and saw the sand at a sight, I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked at it again. I saw that a hole with a diameter of one meter slowly opened on the wall above Shi Ding. I can't help but feel a little emotional, where there is human civilization, there are many institutions. But in the eyes of people like me who are not careful, then it is really the wall or the wall, and the ground is still the same land.
"Where can I get here?" I asked.
Mo Ranchen asked rhetorically, "Where are you from?" ”
I pointed to Shi Ding and showed him and said, "There is a passage under this thing, leading to the black mud pool outside, I came in from here, Lin Su, Liu Yang and Kong Xian are all outside." ”
Mo Ranchen nodded and said, "You can go over from above." ”
"Really?" I almost cheered in ecstasy.
Yu Ba hurriedly took an oil lamp from a stone carving head, and climbed onto the stone ding.
The entrance of the cave is a little high, and my five short stature must not be able to reach it, so Mo Ranchen had no choice but to stand on the stone tripod and lift me up. He himself is simple, hooking the border and coming up.
It's like an exhaust pipe, it's very boxy and regular, and you can even feel a hint of wind through the hall. I was all wet, and I was shivering with the wind.
"Mo Zhanchen, you've also been to that black quagmire?" I asked as I crawled forward.
Seeing that he was so familiar, I knew his answer.
When he replied with an "um", I asked, "Do you know what those baby corpses are?" Or rather, how did it grow like that? ”
There was a brief silence after that, and after a while, Mo Yanchen replied in a low voice: "Those things are not babies in the real sense. ”
I didn't understand it, so I asked, "Why isn't it a baby?" Could it be this monster that spawned underground? ”
"Sort of." Mo Ranchen said: "They are actually raised in the same way as fire pine nuts. ”
"Breeding?" I was stunned, who would be so bored to raise such a monster? Could it be that this thing still has medicinal value?
Mo Ranchen saw that I didn't quite understand, so he explained: "It's not for nothing that those fire pine nuts are called savages, because they are indeed human beings. According to records, more than 700 years ago, this area was inhabited by an isolated ethnic group, the civilization of the Qin is very strange, they have been in the era of matriarchal society, the tribe likes to live underground. ”
"They raised fire pine nuts?" I asked.
"No," Mo Ranchen said, "It was they who were raised to become fire pine nuts." ”
I was choked and speechless for a while, and the pleasure I felt when I killed the pine nuts was now all guilt and fear.
After about three to five minutes of climbing, we got out of a gap. Outside was a relatively low flat space, and I could touch the irregular stone at the top with my hand, but Mo Yanchen couldn't even lift his head.
He took the oil lamp in my hand, looked to the left, and said, "Go in that direction for about three meters, and you will be the entrance to the passage under Shiding." ”
I didn't have time to ask him how he knew, so I pulled him in that direction, and I left here for nearly forty minutes, not knowing if I could find Kong Xian and them.
However, when I reached that location, I found that it was pitch black below, and I could not see the light of the night pearl at all. I wanted to shout, and I was afraid to summon the infant corpses, but the situation was too critical at the time to find them, and I was really relieved not to find them.
Seeing that I was in a hurry, Mo Ranchen said beside him: "They will be fine, if they are not here, they are likely to be in another place." ”
I hurriedly asked, "Where?" ”
He whispered, "Follow me," and led the way up the edge of the black mire. After walking for about three meters, the rock above our heads was getting farther and farther away from us, and Mo Yanchen was finally able to straighten up.
I followed him closely and found that the length of the black mud pool was actually not very long, and it was only about ten meters to the end. There is a reversal at the end, and I don't know where it leads. But we were in a high position, and I could see at a glance that somewhere in the past was reversed, and a light purple halo loomed.
But this reversal is from below, and we are above, with only one gap in front of us that cannot be crossed.
"How are we going to get there?" I asked Mo Zhanchen with some excitement.
He pointed to the black mire below and said, "You can only jump." ”
I sighed and said in my heart, play diving again, and I should be full of water after two more jumps, and save money for a meal.
Seeing that I was reluctant, Mo Ranchen said again: "If you don't jump, there is another way." That reversal will lead to a field of corpses, from which we can go around and meet them there. But ......"
I was happy when I heard that I didn't need to dive, and when I heard his "it's just ......", my heart almost cooled. But with a glimmer of hope she asked him, "But what?" ”
He said with a wry smile: "But when I go down, I still have to jump, jump into the pile of corpses." ”
"Jumping into a pile of corpses? Well...... It's worth looking forward to. ”
I didn't say that, the flirtatious tone came from behind me.
I shuddered and hurriedly turned around. Seeing Kong Xian behind him, he smiled weirdly.
He didn't smile at me, but at Mo Yanchen next to me. I glanced at Mo Ranchen and found that he was also smiling, as if in response to Kong Xian's provocation. It's the first time I've seen him smile like that in a long time.
When he looked back at Kong Xian again, he had already put away his smile and turned into a cold face.
I just noticed that Kong Xian was alone, Liu Yang and Lin Su were not next to him, he didn't hold the Night Pearl in his hand, if I guessed correctly, in the reversal I saw before, nine times out of ten it was Liu Yang and Lin Su who were holding the Night Pearl.
"How are you alone?" I asked Kong Xian.
He didn't answer, just came over and tried to pull me. However, Mo Ranchen made the first move and dragged me behind him.
