Chapter 088: Four People and One Ghost
In the middle of this mountain forest, such a figure suddenly appeared, which really frightened us.
After the figure finished laughing, he shouted, "Qinling Secret Land, a hundred ghosts walk at night! You dolls are really bold!"
Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide.
We walked out of the woods, into the clearing, and stopped a dozen meters away from the figure.
Then in the moonlight, I could vaguely see that the man was about sixty or seventy years old, with all white hair, and a goatee, which was also white. He was dressed in a robe-like outfit and stood there, giving people a feeling of lightness.
"Old man, we are passing by here, if there is any disturbance to the place, please be a large number of adults, do not pursue it. Feng Bingyang took two steps forward and said to the old man.
The old man smiled and said, "Ordinary people, who would walk in the mountains in the middle of the night? What's more, the four of you came to me with a ghost, how could you just pass by?"
Hearing this old man's words, I felt a sense of fear in my heart for no reason. Are we four people and one ghost? Who are the ghosts?
I turned my head to see that Feng Bingyang, Lao Ba, Sister Du, Chen Zijing and me were exactly five people, so, are there any ghosts among us?
When Sister Du saw me looking at everyone, she whispered, "Don't be confused by him! An old man appeared here in the middle of the night, and it wouldn't be a good stubble!"
The old man seemed to hear Sister Du's words, and said with a smile, "I can stay here, naturally I am as powerful." It's just that you are pitiful, walking around with a ghost, but you don't know it. Be careful!"
So saying, the old man turned and left.
When he walked away, Sister Du whispered to everyone, "This old man is very eccentric, everyone be careful!"
For the rest of the road, we walked straight with our heads bored, and no one said anything more. But I know that everyone must be muttering in their hearts that the old man who suddenly appeared said that there is a ghost among us, and maybe not alarmist.
In the tomb at the bottom of the mountain, it can be said that we are all nine deaths, and none of us almost left our lives inside. I was lucky to come out alive. ...~Aiqi Literature ...~ Free to read
Could it be that some of us were actually dead when we were in the tomb, but because of a trace of resentment, they still appeared in front of everyone in human form?
Is it Feng Bingyang? His subordinates are all dead, since he came out of the tomb, he is not as able to speak as before, and he doesn't even say a word all day long, will he be unwilling to die because the mission is not completed?
He obviously likes Chen Zijing, and even because of Chen Zijing's special status, he did not hesitate to directly follow her to betray the Shifang Round Table and said the sentence, "I am responsible for your death and injury." When you get out of this big tomb, you can dispose of it!". Now that we haven't walked out of the mountains, it's not safe, does he still have to protect Chen Zijing and not be willing to die?
Is it Chen Zijing? Their family has gone through thousands of years just to find Nuwa's descendants and find their own dragon tamer
Division. And now, Chen Zijing, as the only clansman who has found Nuwa's descendants and a true dragon, is she going to tell her clansmen about this and not be willing to die?
And what about Sister Du? Wei Fanghong's death hit her so hard that she even risked her own safety to jump into the waterhole to search. But it still didn't work, and since then, she has become silent. Will she be unwilling to die because of her original vow, in order to protect my safety?
Each of them has a reason why they can't die. If what the old man said about four people and one ghost is true, who is the ghost?
I once quietly approached Sister Du and glanced at the pendant around her neck. There was nothing unusual about the pendant. I muttered to myself, is there really a ghost, or is the old man deliberately scaring us?
Everyone was silent and walked forward.
Suddenly, Feng Bingyang in front of him stopped, and those of us who followed behind also stopped in a hurry.
Without waiting for Feng Bingyang to speak, I could see what the reason was.
I saw that not far ahead, an empty clearing appeared in front of me, and this clearing was exactly the same as the place where the old man appeared!
"Why did you turn back again?" Sister Du said in a low voice.
Feng Bingyang hurriedly said, "Hidden!"
We immediately followed him and crouched down and hid in the bushes.
At this moment, and then the moonlight, I could clearly see a figure slowly coming out of the opposite woods, walking to the middle of the clearing, looking up at the moon.
This figure is the same old man from before!
I glanced at Sister Du, who was staring at the old man, her eyes full of puzzlement.
"Haha, now that you're back, what are you hiding?"
The old man, as if he knew that we were hiding here, said this after looking at the moon for a while.
Seeing that his whereabouts are exposed, there is nothing to hide.
Walking to the clearing, the old man was looking at us. He smiled and said, "After walking for an hour, have you found who is the ghost?"
Lao Ba took a step forward and said, "Don't sow discord with us! We are all human beings, and there are no ghosts!"
"Oh, no ghosts, how did you turn back again?" said the old man.
Feng Bingyang said coldly, "You mean, I'm the ghost?"
The old man shook his head and pretended to be mysterious, "Don't say it, don't say it!"
When the eighth child heard this, his anger rushed straight to his head, and he was about to step forward, but he was stopped by Chen Zijing.
Chen Zijing said, "Old man, if we have any trouble with you, please forgive me." We've just been through something terrible, so I don't understand what you said, can you please explain it a little more?"
The old man looked at Chen Zijing and said, "You are a dragon trainer?"
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Zijing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "Are you too?"
The old man shook his head and said, "No, no, dragon taming is a noble profession, and my little old man is a high climber."
No. ”
Chen Zijing asked, "Then how do you know that I am a dragon trainer?"
The old man smiled and said, "There is a dragon behind the four of you and a ghost, and naturally one of you is a dragon tamer." The dragon wanted to come out just now, but it was stopped by your group, so I know that you are the dragon trainer. ”
The old man said so easily, as if he was not surprised that there was a dragon on our side. Could it be that this man had seen a dragon before? I suddenly remembered the coffin where the mushroom was trapped, and I realized that it had moved at that time, could it be that the mushroom had come out and been discovered by this old man?
But on second thought, it's unlikely. Even if the old man had seen a dragon before, it was only a sight. The dragon, after all, is an ancient artifact, and it can still be seen in this era, even if it is seen ten times or eight times, every time it will be excited. And the old man's reaction, as he often saw dragons on weekdays, did not show any special expression.
Moreover, if he even knows the position of a dragon trainer, then he must be extraordinary.
The old man seemed to see what I was thinking, and he said to me, "You little doll, your eyes are rolling, are you doubting what I said?"
I'm noncommittal.
What this old man knows is no longer acceptable to ordinary people. Looking at his age, it is estimated that he has been living in seclusion here for many years. It's not very far from the tomb, maybe he's been there, it's not for sure.
"Grandpa, you don't seem surprised that there is a ghost and a dragon on our side. Have you ever seen a ghost before, or a dragon?" I asked.
"Hehe, what's all the fuss about seeing ghosts and dragons?" the old man laughed, and continued, "I guess you came out of that prehistoric tomb, right? There are a lot of monsters in it, and you must have seen it, but they are not mortal things. ”
Looking at the old man's appearance, it was as if he had really been.
Sister Du asked, "So, have you been in the old man's house before?"
"That's nature!" the old man immediately became excited when he saw someone asking, and he walked two steps towards us, "Do you know who the owner of this big tomb is? It's Nuwa Niangniang! It's a prehistoric tomb more than 9,000 years ago!"
The old man had already walked up to us as he spoke. With what he said, I knew that he had a deep understanding of the tomb. So, I waited for him to continue and see if I could find more useful information.
But as the old man approached us, he stopped suddenly, and the ostentatious expression on his face grew stiff, and then to a look of horror.
He stared at me dumbfounded for a full minute, then thought it was a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, snorted, turned around and ran!
His sudden behavior surprised us, and we didn't know what it was
Send whatever.
Sister Du turned to look at me and wondered, "What did he see?"
The other three looked around me with puzzled expressions, and then they looked at each other and took a few steps back.
I immediately understood.
If I me, they must be thinking of me as the old man said he was!
"You ...... I'm not a ghost!I'm a human!" I hurriedly explained.
Chen Zijing walked over, looked at it carefully, and said, "Why was he scared like that when he saw you?"
Sister Du said, "That old man is too strange. He was scared away, certainly not because there were ghosts. He was able to live alone in the deep mountains and forests, and he knew the details of the tomb, so he could not be frightened by ghosts. ”
Hearing Sister Du say this, Feng Bingyang and Lao Ba nodded and walked over.
Feng Bingyang smiled embarrassedly, while the eighth child had no expression and stood next to Chen Zijing.
Sister Du looked at the direction where the old man disappeared and said, "That old man is too weird, we have to meet him, maybe we can know some news about this big tomb." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. So we hurried in the direction where the old man had disappeared.
Walking through the clearing, into the woods, you could faintly see the grass and trees in the bushes that had been overwhelmed by the old man as he walked by. Following these traces, we chased all the way down and soon came to the bottom of a cliff.
Look at the cliff, the whole is a solid rock, no more than ten meters high. But this cliff is concave, convex at the top, concave at the bottom, forming a natural roof, and under this cliff, there is a cave that extends into the interior of the mountain, in this dark night, like a hole in the eye.
There is a lot of household garbage littered outside the cave, and there is a stove next to it, and an iron pot is supported on the stone stove. There is a large pile of firewood next to it, and it seems that the old man's life is still very good.
When I got closer, I heard the sound of ping-pong in the cave, and then I saw a figure rushing out of it, it was the old man!
Feng Bingyang saw that the old man was about to run, and chased after him with an arrow and blocked his way. And the eighth also followed, blocking behind.
As we walked over, the old man looked at me nervously, and his things fell to the ground with a thud.
When I got closer, the old man suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and prayed, "Nuwa Niangniang's life!
