Chapter 24: Danger
At this time, the distance between me and them was no more than five meters.
After making sure they didn't notice me, I stopped and didn't move any further, so as not to startle the snake.
"Grandpa, is that drum so powerful?" The young gentleman asked suspiciously, his tone full of puzzlement: "No matter how powerful things are, we haven't seen them, Immortal Gu is a prophet in our sect, is it necessary to do it for so long?" ”
"You don't understand." The old gentleman surnamed Sun sighed: "We have a trick to deal with living things, and we also have a trick to deal with dead things, but it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with this kind of evil weapon that has become a refined object, but it is also fast, it won't be long before the Wuzi Prayer Drum is in the bag of the fairy girl." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be a little nervous, if the Wuzi Heavenly Prayer Drum fell into the hands of the old sect....... So let's have a fart?
There is no need for Wuzi to pray for the heavenly drum, the old religion has the means to control the immortal family, if you have that thing, you can't be like a tiger with wings??
"That drum is important to the fairy girl, isn't it?" The young gentleman asked.
The old gentleman nodded, and said for sure, as long as we get this divine drum, the entire three eastern provinces will be controlled by our old religion, including those high-ranking immortals, and they will also become our disciples.
"Then we, the sect members who follow the Immortal Gu, are not allowed to soar into the sky?"
"Who knows." The old gentleman smiled, "It should be." ”
At this moment, the old gentleman suddenly turned around, glanced left and right, as if he had found something, and his tone became vigilant.
"Looks like someone is nearby."
It is no exaggeration to say that when he said this, he directly scared me half to death, could it be that I was exposed? !
Even Song Butian couldn't detect my traces, how did this old thing find out?!
"Anyone??"
As soon as he heard the old gentleman's words, the other gentleman couldn't stand still, turned around in a hurry, and followed the old gentleman to scan left and right, and his tone was a little panicked: "Where are the people?!" Grandpa! Do you want me to signal it?? I told the brothers to come down and search around and see ........"
Before he could finish speaking, the old gentleman waved his hand, frowned and said, "Don't worry, I just feel that someone is staring at me, but I can't see anyone after sweeping around........"
As soon as the words fell, he jumped directly from the boulder, his skills were unusually agile, and he basically didn't make a sound when he landed.
I stood still, and even though I knew he couldn't see me, I didn't dare to make the slightest risky move.
Maybe the magic in the line can't see, and ordinary people's eyes can't find me, but as a creature's sixth sense....... He didn't notice my presence, he just felt my gaze.
Thinking of this, I was bold and slowly closed my eyes.
Judging by the footsteps, the old man was approaching me, and his steps were steady, and I could feel how wary he was.
"Grandpa, there's no one around here." The young gentleman said, "Don't say it's a living person, there's not even a ghost, I've opened my eyes and there's no problem." ”
"Could it be that I feel wrong........" the old gentleman muttered, and then fell silent.
The place where he stopped was so close to me, almost to the point that he was touching his face, and I could clearly feel his breath......
Damn, he's definitely eating garlic.
"No matter, let's go somewhere else." The old gentleman said: "At this juncture, we can't go wrong, and if we mess up, we will all die well." ”
With that, he turned and walked back.
Maybe it was too careless, in the process, I couldn't help but open my eyes to see where the two turtle sons were going, but this time I opened my eyes........
"Someone."
The old gentleman, whose face was covered in sackcloth, said coldly, turned around, and stared straight at me.
I'm sure the eyes of both of us met at that moment.
"Right here........" the old man muttered, untying what looked like a whip from his waist and staring at me with murderous intent in his eyes.
The whip should be a kind of magic weapon, with an enlarged version of the copper coin at the head and tail, and the whip body is also cast from pig iron, with some concave traces densely packed on it, I don't know if it's a charm or a totem, anyway, I didn't see it clearly.
Before I could react, the old man shook his hand violently and smashed the magic weapon in his hand like a meteor hammer, piercing through my abdomen almost instantly.
It's no exaggeration to say that I almost fell to my stomach.
Fuck me.
Did this old man really find me or something?! This is a magic weapon!! If you can't hide, you're going to die!!
But when I reacted and found myself unscathed, I realized a fact.
Either that magic weapon can't hurt the soul, of course, this possibility is very low........ Otherwise, it's just a trick to help me.
Ordinary souls are separated from the body, and the souls of physical Gu are separated from the body, these should be two different concepts.
"Hey...... This old thief can't hurt me........" I said with a smile on my face, and took two steps to the right.
In the process, the old gentleman still stared at me, as if he knew where I was, and the hostility in his eyes became heavier and heavier.
At this time, the little young man standing on the stone pier also jumped down, patted his pants and said, "Grandpa, where is there anyone here?" ”
"I really have, I really feel it!" The old gentleman explained in a calm voice.
"Grandpa, didn't you come into contact with those true gods last time?" The young man said with great interest: "I remember that a few prophets took you there, and after coming into contact with them, most people have more or less sequelae, haven't you recovered yet?" ”
Hearing this, the old man fell silent, looked straight at me for a while, and finally turned around and walked to the other side.
"Maybe......."
Seeing the old man leaving, the young man didn't hesitate, he hurriedly followed, and asked him, "Are we going to patrol the mountains or what?" ”
"Let's go meet with the others first, it's all over the place, it's time to change shifts." The old man sighed: "I can't hold this old bone anymore, and there are still a lot of troubles waiting for me to come, so let's take a lazy rest." ”
As soon as I heard what he said, I couldn't help but hesitate, looking at what he meant, it seemed that he was going to meet with other old sect gentlemen.
Nine times out of ten, the place where they met was the stronghold of the old religion, or at least one of them.
After thinking for a few seconds, seeing that the two of them were about to leave my sight, I gritted my teeth: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger...... Keep up and have a look! ”
With what I just experienced, I didn't dare to be careless, even if they couldn't hurt me, I didn't dare to follow with great fanfare.
These old sectarian gentlemen are not ordinary, just the old man just now...... His sixth sense is quite strong, the young man didn't even notice it, he actually found out, and he can directly find my location!
Following them, I walked cautiously into the woods.
The living branches were still writhing, and many of them were skewed past, blocking the way.
But the two gentlemen, as if they had not seen them, passed through the branches of the trees, and did not touch them at all.
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Is it true that what I see is false? Is it my hallucination?
Or is this the real thing....... It's just that we living people live in a world that we can't touch them?
But that's not right, can't I get through the branches?
In the end, I didn't figure out the answer, so I continued to follow them in a puzzled way.
After walking for five or six minutes, we walked out of the woods and arrived at a gravel field near the summit of Black Dragon Mountain.
The moment I walked out of the woods and took the last step, I realized that I couldn't move.
As if someone had pointed at him, his whole body was stiff and he couldn't move at all.
But the two gentlemen seemed to have no idea of me, and kept going, farther and farther away, until they disappeared from my sight.
At this point, they weren't the focus of my attention, but the three-story sculpture that stood in the middle of the gravel floor.
To be precise, it should be a humanoid sculpture that has been randomly erected by people with dead branches and other debris.
The body is composed entirely of dead branches and trunks.
The outstretched arms seem to be woven from thorn vines.
What chilled my heart the most was the head of the sculpture.
It's all skulls...... It was made from dozens or hundreds of human skulls.......
It was covered from head to toe with a thick black cloth.......
Look at it, like a robe.
