Chapter Seventy-Two: A Long-Lost Enemy
The mountain is higher than I thought, and the closer you get to the top, the more unbearable the gravity becomes.
I had been able to manage my balance at the bottom of the mountain, but when I reached two-thirds of the way down the mountain, I only found that my legs were a little disobedient.......
Not to mention running at full speed, it becomes a little difficult to lift your feet and take a step forward.
In the end, I gave up the idea of running, and could only walk steadily and at a very slow pace, step by step towards the top of the mountain.
It is no exaggeration to say that I am so anxious that my tears are about to come out now, and I said that the sixth master is also good enough, this mountain is so difficult to climb, they have come several times.......
As it stands, if I can only maintain the current pace, it will take at least half a day, or even a day, to get to the top.
If he had known that this would be the case, the fool would have chosen to go up the mountain now, and he would definitely choose to go down the mountain to support the six masters first!
Just as I was hesitating whether to move on, suddenly, I noticed that the sand body seal on my chest was a little hot......
The change in temperature is extremely small, and if I hadn't happened to notice it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed the change in the temperature of the seal.
Is there another enemy??
Thinking of this, I hurriedly stopped, clenched the Miao knife in my hand, and my heart also lifted.
Now I'm too busy to take care of myself, let alone attacking others, even if I want to dodge, it will be difficult for me if the other party sneaks up on me from a distance........ There's no way I'm going to dodge!
But when I looked closely, I noticed that there was no movement around me, and there was no sign of anyone around.
However, it was indeed hot, and the temperature only lasted for one point, and did not continue to heat up, which was the first time I had encountered such a situation.
I continued to carefully observe for half a minute, and when I made sure that there was no situation, I pulled the seal out of my collar with the rope in my hand.
It was at this moment that I realized that the gravity that was holding me down was gone almost at the same time.
"Oh I ......."
But before I could react, the gravity, which had disappeared for less than two seconds, enveloped me again.
This change left me a little lost.
I just felt that there was an invisible switch that was pressed by the enemy, and when the switch turned on, I had to be suppressed by this gravity, and when it was turned off, I could get out of trouble.
"What's going on....... Why did it suddenly recover again......." I couldn't help muttering a few words, looking left and right, but still didn't find anything.
Without much thought, I lifted the seal and tucked it back into my collar.
Because I've checked it, there's nothing wrong with the seal, and as for why it's hot, I really can't figure it out.
But coincidentally, it was at this time that the gravity that had just recovered disappeared again.
I glanced left and right in a daze, and then looked at the Dharma seal in my hand, and quickly reacted.
"Could it be...... The gravity here has something to do with the seal?? ”
By the time I thought of this, my fingers had already loosened, and I tucked the seal directly into the collar and pressed it against my chest.
At this time, the vanished gravity returned.
"I see...... No wonder gravity suddenly became so exaggerated........" I muttered, my expression becoming much more excited.
To confirm my guess, I picked up the seal again with the rope, and the gravity disappeared with it, and when I put it back, gravity returned again......
I've figured it out.
There is an inevitable connection between the French seal and gravity.
I don't know exactly what this is all about, but I can guess a little.......
This place is already very close to the ancient ruins mentioned by the sixth master, that is to say, the connection between this place and the ancients is becoming more and more.
The relationship between the Ancient and the Sand-Bodyed is definitely a class enemy.
Not to mention what conflicts they had in the first place, in my opinion, they should be hostile to each other, and they are very sensitive to each other's breath.
The Dharma Seal of the Sand-Body Man is definitely a point of condensation of the Sand-Body Person's breath.
I don't know if there are any ancients in this mountain, but what is certain is that those qi left by the ancients definitely have a certain ability to think, at least they can remember who their former enemies are and what their breath is.
For the enemy's breath, they will inevitably take certain measures, even if they can't destroy it, they will still have a certain resistance, which is a matter of course.
If this analysis is correct, then the vision I had encountered before can be explained.
The sudden change in gravity is actually the defense of those ancient qi.
They wanted to keep the stuff of the old creatures away from here, away from the ancient ruins that were at the top of the mountain.
With this in mind, I plucked the seal of the Sand-Bodyed One from my body and tied it to the tip of the hilt, keeping it as far away from my body as possible, lest the Ancient Qi inadvertently hurt me again.
If that doesn't work, then I'll have to temporarily abandon the Dharma Seal of the Sand-Body Person, find a place to bury it on the spot, and then find time to pick it up later.
But it turned out that there was no need to be so troublesome, after the seal left my body, those gravity dissipated naturally, and there was no intention of embarrassing me at all.
"I'm still smart......." I muttered proudly, and couldn't help but show a bright smile: "If your brain turns slowly, you will definitely have a headache." ”
"Not necessarily."
At this time, a voice that had not been heard for a long time suddenly came from not far behind me.
It is no exaggeration to say that when I heard that voice, my right hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled a few times, and it was excited.
"It's you?!"
I gritted my teeth in excitement and turned to look at the person I was talking to.
The man who spoke was standing about twenty meters away from me, the same as when I first met him, still wearing a linen robe, but his face was wrapped in many crimson bandages, and only his mouth and eyes were exposed.
I can be sure that the voice I heard just now was from Yang Jiusheng, but the person I saw at this moment was somewhat different from the original Yang Jiusheng.
The body is thinner, the skin on the chin is gone, and the flesh and blood under the skin can be seen intuitively.
Because there was no skin to cover, his gums were directly exposed, looking like a skeleton, and his red eyes that exuded soft light pulled him farther and farther away from the word "human".
At this time, the Yang Jiusheng I saw looked like a monster, not like a human.
Not only that, but he also gave me a different feeling now, and his breath had also changed, even weaker than before, almost to the point of being inaudible.
Because of this, I didn't notice him following from beginning to end, and if he hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have been able to detect his presence first.
Of course, his move also illustrates a point.
This turtle grandson didn't want to sneak up on me, he suddenly accosted me, which was basically equivalent to greeting me.
"Raise nine lives?" I frowned and stared at the man cautiously, "How did you become like this?" ”
Hearing my question, Yang Jiusheng laughed twice, his shoulders shook slightly, and his voice didn't change much compared to before, even if the skin around his mouth couldn't be seen, it didn't seem to affect his speech.
"It's all thanks to you......." Yang Jiusheng smiled while staring at me directly, the kind of eyes that hide tyranny but have to pretend to be calm, which makes people get goosebumps.
"By me?" I was stunned and looked at him with some doubts: "You mean when you were in Hainan?" ”
Yang Jiusheng smiled and spread his hands: "No, but it's okay." ”
"What do you mean?" I frowned and asked, "If you have something to say, you can make it clear, what is it?" ”
Yang Jiusheng was silent for two seconds, and suddenly laughed.
"Just because you....... Just because I didn't kill you in Hainan in the first place....... The Nine Turtle God was suppressed again....... Our operation failed again......."
"Since then....... You've been fighting against our old religion....... And killed so many of our compatriots....... Broke us so many things........"
As soon as the words fell, Yang Jiusheng violently lifted the bandages on his face, revealing a face that was even more terrifying than a monster.
"This is God's punishment for me!"
