No. 343: Flag of the Dead

The sudden appearance of such a strange person in the Yin and Yang passage thousands of meters deep is really elusive. At that moment, Colonel Di Ming waved his hand, and the fat and thin men standing behind him immediately touched them silently.

After all, they were from the army, and although they were fat and thin, they were as dexterous as cats when they acted, and in an instant, they bypassed the boneless man kneeling on the ground, and rounded around the side to outflank the strange man.

I hold a thousand people in my hand, ready to take on the fat and thin at any time. As they walked behind the strange man, they stopped suddenly, turned on their flashlights, and made a semicircular trajectory towards us.

Colonel Di Ming had cooperated with the two of them many times, so he immediately understood the meaning of the fat man and the thin man, and he explained in a low voice: "It's not a living person, it's a statue!" ”

It was indeed a statue of a man. Under the beam of the flashlight, he could vaguely be seen wearing purple clothes, holding his head high, his head tilted slightly, and his eyes were looking at the direction of the Yin and Yang Passage, as if he was watching all the living people passing through here.

The most striking thing is his eyes, he doesn't know what material they are made of, they are brilliant and bright, no matter where you stand, you feel that the statue is watching you.

I don't know what's going on, my heart flashed, and my mouth blurted out, "Purple-clothed priest? ”

Someone behind him trembled and said, "The purple-clothed priest! ”

The purple-clothed priest is the exorcist who walks the world instead of Emperor Shun, and the purple-clothed priest is the one who manages the purple-clothed priest. It is said that there are only twelve purple-clothed great priests, who are scattered all over the world to oversee the entire world on behalf of Emperor Shun. It's just that after Emperor Shun, the twelve purple-clothed great priests were also nowhere to be found, and they never appeared again.

The statue resembles a real person, carved entirely from an unknown dark purple stone. Because of the vivid facial appearance and majestic expression, when the boneless man just came down, he thought that he had met a real purple-clothed great priest, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground motionless on the spot.

I kicked the boneless man and told him to get up and not be embarrassed here. Instead, Colonel Di Ming walked over with interest and looked at it carefully, and said, "How can the statue of the purple-clothed great priest stand here?" ”

According to the legend thousands of years ago, this place should belong to the Endless Abyss, and it is also the real underworld in the legend. It's not uncommon to encounter ghosts here, but it's really puzzling to encounter a statue of a purple-clothed priest.

In fact, we all really wanted to stay and study this statue, and even wanted to have someone take it to the ground and preserve it first. It was at this time that I saw a green ghost fire swarming towards us in the distance.

Colonel Di Ming tugged on the hood around his neck and said, "Here they are!" Watch out! ”

We all put on the hoods of our black cloaks and covered our faces firmly. And the four sinners had a tacit understanding to stop us at the core, and then the four sinners came out of the crowd and stood there with their heads held high in the face of the swarming ghost fire.

The ghostly fire was fast, and the green light flickered before us. When I got closer, I realized that it was a group of black-robed cloaks riding hellhounds.

These black-robed cloaks were exactly the same as the ones we met at the Vatican, and even the hellhounds under their crotch barked their teeth wildly. They approached the four sinners in a very arrogant manner, and then the dogs wandered around us in two circles, as if to identify us.

The Bloodless Man stood there and shouted, "Arctic Bloodless City! Alaska's meatless valley! A boneless island in the Atlantic, a skinless jungle in the Amazon, at the invitation of the Fallen King, come to participate in the negotiation of the capital! ”

They were holding black invitations, and they tried to tiptoe, as if they wanted the black-robed cloaks to see clearly.

A black-robed cloak in the lead said coldly, "What about the headless city on the plateau? Why didn't you come? ”

The four leaders of the criminals looked at each other, and finally the bloodless man stubbornly said: "A few days ago, the headless city was brutally broken by corpses, with countless casualties, and no one could come to the Xudu negotiations. ”

The black-robed cloak snorted, seemingly unfazed by the destruction of the Headless City. He rode around us on a hellhound and then raised his hand and threw down a pitch-black flag.

The flag is only more than three meters long, the flagpole is linked together with human thigh bones, and the flag is a fluttering human skin. The human skin is the image of a woman, with her mouth stuck in a flag, but her body flutters in the wind, and it is still emitting a pale green ghostly fire.

After the black-robed cloak threw down the flag, he said coldly: "Take the dead man's flag and follow the direction in which the flag is fluttering." Don't meddle along the way, or you'll die in the underworld, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

The bloodless man said loudly, "Yes! ”

The black-robed cloak didn't even look at them, and with a greeting, a dozen or so fierce ghosts riding hellhounds roared away as when they came, only to see the ghost fire flickering, and they quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After the group of black-robed cloaks left, the bloodless people pulled out the human blood flag, walked up to me, and said, "Lord Priest, look ...... you?"

Colonel Di Ming scolded: "Bastard! ”

The Dead Man's Banner can only be made from the bones of living people, which shows that although the city is deep underground, it still has a connection with the outside world. Otherwise, where did they get the living people?

Just those desolate people who live underground all year round can't make this kind of dead man's flag that can guide yin and yang.

I thought the dead man's flag was disgusting, so I told the bloodless man, this is a big compass, you can just hold this thing yourself, don't show it to me.

The bloodless man was suddenly shocked and said, "Yes! Priest! ”

I saw that Colonel Di Ming's face was a little gloomy, and I knew that his fire had not yet subsided, so I said: "Colonel Di Ming, let's not be angry, we have long known that the grandson of the fallen king is not a good thing, it's a big deal, let's kill him in a while and chop him up to feed the dog." You can't let this guy be his king comfortably. ”

Colonel Di Ming cursed in a low voice, and then looked at the statue of the purple-clothed great priest, looking like he wanted to get this thing back. It's just that the Indian girl who had never spoken suddenly spoke, and just one sentence made Colonel Di Ming dispel this idea.

"This statue is evil," she said. ”

Don't look at this Indian girl who rarely speaks, but being selected by Colonel Diming is definitely a bit capable. She was so proficient, Colonel Di Ming immediately woke up, I'm afraid this thing really can't be touched.

You must know that many people have passed before, exorcists from various countries of the Vatican Convention, Buddha spirits from all over the world, zombie spirits, and Chen Wuye's group of murderers.

But none of them touched the statue, which is enough to explain the problem.

Colonel Di Ming is also a person who can afford to put it down, since this statue cannot be touched, he immediately gave up this idea, and said: "Don't worry about him, according to the original plan, everyone is not allowed to reveal their whereabouts, and everything is to reach the capital city as the first goal!" ”

Since it is a surprise soldier, it is natural to have a surprise effect. At that moment we put on our hoods and mingled in the ranks of the four clans of the sinners, and continued in the direction of the flying of the Dead Man's Flag.

According to my understanding, the reason why the Dead Man's Banner can guide the way is probably related to the change of yin and yang breath. It's like a magnet can be made into a compass by dividing the positive and negative poles.

It's just that if you want to create a dead man's flag, you don't know how many people's thigh bones will be used, so it's no wonder that Colonel Di Ming was so angry when he saw this thing.

This underground space is very vast, and the beam of the flashlight sweeps past, and you can't see the end at a glance. The ground is full of rubble, a bit like the rocks on the Gobi Desert, and as far as the eye can see, you can still see the weathered hills and sand. Coupled with the faint breeze in the air, it gave me a very unreal feeling, as if we were not walking in the underground world of several thousand meters, but walking on a pitch-black, starless Gobi Desert.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, anyway, the bloodless man walks in front with the dead man's flag proudly, and wherever the flag flutters, he goes. We walked silently for more than two hours along the way, and when we climbed over a sand dune, a dazzling beam of light rose into the sky, instantly illuminating this gloomy, dark underground world.

Colonel Di Ming exclaimed in a low voice: "Flare! Who's hitting the flares? ”
