Chapter 19: The Castle in the Mountains
Bai Zhi's words just now reminded me of something called corpse sewing. This kind of thing is very evil, originally sewn up the dead, in ancient times, some people with different heads in different places, in order to be able to rest their souls, so they will use this method to sew the corpses together.
And then it gradually evolved, something else.
That is to sew a living person, and many people call it changing skin. Of course, it's not just the skin that can be replaced, it's even the hands, the eyes, and other parts that can be replaced.
It's just that this kind of magic is very evil, and if you want to succeed, you must first be alive with both. Replacing a whole body of skin like this dragon and three tigers can be said to be a very troublesome thing. The skin of the two living people needs to be peeled off almost simultaneously, and both must be in a conscious state.
The most terrible thing is that you have to spit a special oil on your body and corpse afterwards.
It is guaranteed to grow quickly after changing the skin, otherwise it may be replaced with a dry dead skin, so there is no point in it.
If this dragon and tiger can really bear this kind of pain, then this person is much more dangerous than I imagined.
"What's going on?" Long Sanhu yelled at me.
I took a deep breath and calmed my emotions down.
Immediately after that, Long Sanhu looked at the black-robed young man, and after a pause, he continued: "I said, this kid shouldn't have lied to us." How far did I go, and I encountered a corpse, could it be that this is a dead end? ”
The black-robed young man shook his head slightly: "It's not a lie to us, life and death are dead, this is a common phenomenon." Only when you have passed the road of life can you be regarded as the real way of life. But a dead end is really a dead end, and there is no possibility of breaking through at all. Let's move on......"
"It's for the best."
Long Sanhu snorted, as if he was very excited, and then admired the Sanskrit tattoos on his body, and cracked his mouth and laughed: "By the way, your skills are really good!" ”
He also stretched out his arm and raised it as he spoke: "It's only been a few days, and I feel like I'm fine." ”
Hearing this, I looked at the black-robed young man again.
Judging from Long Sanhu's words, it should be this black-robed young man who changed the skin of Long Sanhu. But what kind of character is he, first the pigeon on his shoulder, coupled with this strange corpse sewing technique, such a person shouldn't follow Long Sanhu's side, or maybe he has his own ideas when he comes here?
I suddenly felt that the people who entered here, the dragon and the three tigers, should be for the dragon head coffin.
And I'm acting to see the opportunity, if this dragon coffin is really as magical as the legend, I can't say, I will also grab it. But this black-robed young man still doesn't know what his true purpose is, so my heart has deepened my vigilance against him.
He doesn't talk much, and he seems to be harmless, but in fact he is the most dangerous of the group.
"Let's go." The black-robed young man shook his head, and then said lightly.
I walked slowly with the team, and after experiencing the corpse, our group became vigilant. However, this dragon and three tigers do have some skills.
Especially after changing into this skin, it can almost be said that all evils are inviolable.
It's just that who belonged to this skin before? Why did it change to the body of the dragon and three tigers. I felt that there were too many doubts in my mind.
But there are some things that cannot be said.
Our group moved forward, and after a short time, there was a sound of running water in front of us, as if there was an underground river.
At this time, Bai Zhi's brows furrowed slightly: "Impossible, there is no underground river in Longtou Mountain." ”
"It shouldn't be an underground river."
At this time, the black-robed young man walked out, took the torch and shone it forward slightly, and then led the way in front: "Follow me, there is something wrong with this place." ”
"Tibetan wind leaks, according to reason, this water should flow outward, and there can't be inside." My brow furrowed, and after taking a few steps forward, I was completely shocked by the faint light source of the torch.
I gasped.
"Good boy, this is a big project." Looking at this scene in front of me, I couldn't help but say in admiration.
The space in front of us expanded rapidly, and a city in the mountains appeared, and the sound of water we heard before was not a bystander, but someone built a moat around the city in the mountain. Among them, the water is murmuring, although it is not very big, but it is refreshing to listen to.
You can even see some fish swimming happily in it.
"There is a city hidden in this dragon head mountain?" Long Sanhu was a little surprised at first, and then laughed: "Hahaha, I'll just say it, God is definitely not bad for me." It seems that this dragon coffin should be in the city. Let's go, let's go into town! ”
As he spoke, the dragon and the tiger were about to move forward.
At this time, the black-robed young man pulled Long Sanhu back.
His face was cold, he pointed upward, and then continued: "Don't mess around, this city was built by the Mo family, and there are many mechanisms, once there is a mistake, we are afraid that all of us will be folded here." ”
"Then how do you say you got it?" Long Sanhu paused slightly, as if he had some respect for this black-robed young man, nodded and asked.
The black-robed young man stood out, and after carefully observing it, he continued: "The city is divided into four gates, southeast, south, and northwest, and among the four gates, there should be three gates that are extremely dangerous. ”
"Two fans!"
At this time, I shook my head and said in denial.
"Are you sure?" The black-robed young man glanced at Bai Zhi with some confusion.
"Sure!" I nodded, I had read in the book cave in the Ghost Valley that the Mo family's organs must follow some kind of rules.
Just now, I carefully studied the pattern here, and found that the construction of the entire city presents a mysterious Taiji fusion trend, life and death are intertwined, and yin and yang are interconnected.
This pattern is bound to follow a balanced point of view.
It's like when we enter, the left eye and the right eye.
And it's the same thing here. Two doors can be walked through, and the remaining two doors should be an absolute dead end, which is not good news for us.
With a guess, a one-in-two chance is too risky.
However, we don't know much about the Mo family's organs, and it's difficult to see the key from them, so even if we know these things, it won't help us.
Plus, the pattern of the whole city.
blending with each other will add some difficulty.
After listening to my reasoning, the black-robed young man looked at it a few more times, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a long time, he continued: "If this is really the case, then the matter is even more tricky. Is there anything you can do now? ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head.
Immediately afterwards, the black-robed young man frowned, and then gently put the pigeon back in his hand, and then said lightly, as if he wanted to let the pigeon in to find out.
After a short time, the dove flapped its wings and flew towards the city.
It's just the moment when you just flew over the moat. A repeating crossbow on the city wall seemed to sense the presence of a pigeon, and three arrows suddenly erupted.
Flew towards the pigeon.
The speed can be said to be extremely fast.
Fortunately, this pigeon has been trained, and the moment it discovers the danger, with the whistle of the black-robed youth, the body is quickly lifted, and then flies back upside down.
Falling on the shoulders of the black-robed youth, the black-robed youth's brows furrowed.
"Then this road is a dead end?" At this time, Long Sanhu looked at the black-robed young man in front of him with some suspicion, and then asked softly.
The black-robed young man shook his head slightly: "I can't say, the city of this pattern is the most tricky, yin and yang converge, life and death are blended, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, I am afraid that only by breaking through can I figure it out." ”
"Take the East Gate ......"
At this time, Bai Zhi spoke up, with a hint of coldness in her voice: "I don't know about the others, but the east gate should be relatively safe." ”
Long Sanhu subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhi, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes: "Girl, it's not easy to talk nonsense, right?" You'd better tell me why. ”
Bai Zhi and Long Sanhu looked at each other.
Then he looked back, as if he didn't want to see him: "There are only four doors here anyway, believe it or not." ”
As he spoke, a hand gently pulled me, and then continued, "Let's go!" ”
"Stop!"
Long Sanhu seemed to be angry at this time, and roared, and the three junior brothers stood up and surrounded us in an instant, and the dagger in their hands was clearly aimed at us.
The situation is tense.
If I really make a move, I am not afraid of this dragon and three tigers, but Bai Zhi can't say for sure. The skin on Long Sanhu's body is too weird, Bai Zhi may not be able to compete, plus the black-robed young man next to him, if we really make a move, we may not have much chance of winning.
I kept thinking about what to do next.
At this time, the black-robed young man spoke.
"Go to the East Gate!"
It was as if the matter had been settled. Immediately afterwards, the black-robed young man looked at Long Sanhu: "Now that everyone is on the same rope, it is better to work together, otherwise, we are afraid that we will really have to explain a few here!" ”
Long Sanhu waved his hand gently.
The three minions retreated.
"Haha!" Long Sanhu laughed, then walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and then hugged me: "Don't be angry, I'm a straight person, but there is no malice." ”
