Chapter 28: Tsukasa Eye Again
Seeing that we had made a decision, Tang Haitang walked in the direction of the mud marks. The bustard and I followed closely behind.
The mud marks were long, spread into the distance, and there was no shortage of places, as if there was no end in sight. The sky was still very dark, and the moonlight above his head was still hairy and dim, illuminating the outline of the things under his feet and the back of Tang Haitang.
To tell the truth, the surname Tang is rare in the northeast, but there are quite a lot in the south, and then look at the appearance of this girl, her face is delicate, and she looks like a southerner. She seems to be in the year of cardamom, too delicate, like a pastry in Jiangnan, small and delicate and beautiful. It may be the curiosity of a rough man from the north who has never seen the world, which makes me want to go to see her.
The old bustard also quietly looked at this Tang girl all the way, but his attention was different from mine, but he was paying attention to Tang Haitang's dress. Although the clothes on this girl's body are simple and only plain, anyone with a little vision can see the fineness of the fabric, which is the sensitivity of ordinary and even shabby people like us. Later, the bustard told me that not to mention the rest, the iron umbrella in Tang Haitang's hand alone was worth a lot of money.
At that time, I was really wondering about Liu Da's crooked mouth arrangement, why did he send a girl to us? The hands she showed before were indeed a practitioner, but after all, she was a "female streamer", how could she grasp this operation so dangerously?
Along the way, Tang Haitang didn't say a word, gently closed Yinghong's small mouth, and didn't say a word. After all, everyone knows that the minds of the skin mantis have matured and competed, and no one knows what kind of behavior they will make again.
Slowly, the outline of the mud mark began to blur a little. Because the ground beneath our feet was starting to get a little muddy, and there were even potholes of water in some places, which made the traces left by the bugs a little lighter. It seems that the humidity of the air around here is still heavy, and the clothes I am wearing are a little damp, and I feel as if there are water droplets suspended in the air.
At this time, the environment around us was still a wasteland, and there were few trees around us, and there were weeds and broken branches everywhere, and everything was desolate. What struck me as strange was that there seemed to be no living creatures in the land, and I couldn't hear the slightest sound of insects, and the only sound of the three of us walking was in the air.
After about five minutes of walking, we began to notice that the width of the mud mark was narrowing and narrowing in a triangular shape, as if the cut-skin mantis were converging to a point where I thought they might be entering the entrance to their nest.
Sure enough, the width of the mud marks became narrower and narrower, like the mouth of a funnel, and at the same time, the outline of the mud marks began to become lighter and lighter, and it was impossible to see without paying close attention. After a few more steps, there were no mud marks at all, only a few faint thin lines that had been dragged out.
Tang Haitang looked around and said, "It should be here." ”
The old bustard also looked around, and didn't seem to see any clues: "Is it here?" Those seven-star ladybugs will pick a place, and the old nest hides in this remote and uninhabited place. ”
I looked at the wasteland in front of me, overgrown with weeds and cold winds, a scene of defeat. But I didn't see any holes or gaps, and it was flat as far as the eye could see, so I didn't know where the entrance to the nest was. Faintly, I sensed that there was something strange about the atmosphere.
"Miss Tang." This was the first thing I said to Tang Haitang, "Where is this bug's nest?" ”
Tang Haitang looked at me, his eyes were still so clear and gentle. She pointed to the ground and opened her mouth, "Look. ”
I looked down and she was pointing to a piece of land not far from my feet. The moonlight above me was much brighter without the trees, and I looked down and saw a hole the size of a fist in the ground, and some dirt was piled up on the four sides of the hole. Looks like it was dug up by those bugs.
The bustard also noticed the hole and cautiously looked closer. He didn't dare to get too close, for fear that a large number of skin mantis would pour out of it, so he could only roughly estimate a safe range, and bent down outside the circle to poke inside. After looking at it for a while, seeing that there was no movement, he picked up a branch from the ground, and tentatively stretched it out to play with the hole.
The earth around the cave was constantly being pushed away, and the entrance of the cave was slowly enlarged, and slowly, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something white, half-hidden in the sand.
"What is this?" The old bustard was also surprised, and then the bold man took a few steps forward, and gently tapped the white dangling thing with a note, but heard it make a clattering sound, as if it was hitting some stone.
The bustard then pushed back more of the dirt around him, revealing the appearance of what was underneath: it was an eye. There was no whites of the eyes, no blacks, but all gray, hidden in the dirt, looking straight at me.
Suddenly, I felt a familiar and unfamiliar feeling: this thing was familiar. On closer inspection, the eyes are not real objects, but are carved with lines. I muttered, "It looks like Tsukasan." ”
The mound eye is the entrance to the demon mound, which is equivalent to the entrance of the cave in the tomb robbery line. According to our understanding, the mound eye is an object blessed with demonic power, sealed on the demon mound to prevent the demon mound from being easily opened. Otherwise, if you know, its appearance means that there is a demon mound buried under the ground!
After hearing this, Lao Bustard and Tang Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to check. The two looked left and right, confirmed it, and suddenly said: What a mound eye!
The old bustard was overjoyed: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" This charm woman is linked to the skin cutting mantis, and those seven-star ladybugs are hidden here, so this hidden demon mound is probably the tomb of the old witch. ”
"Not necessarily, the production of this mound eye is too simple, not like a demon mound of a big demon." Tang Haitang Road.
"This is not accurate, it is said that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, maybe this old witch is deliberately making the mound eye shabby, to prevent others from peeping at her own mound." The old bustard faced Tang Haitang, "How do you know if you don't probe, Miss Tang." ”
Tang Haitang: "What do you mean?" ”
The old bustard threw the backpack on his back on the ground and unzipped it, which was full of tools and magic tools for the demon mound. The old bustard looked up at the two of us and raised an eyebrow:
"Shimozuka."
