Chapter 22: Youth
Although he knew that the front was dangerous and unpredictable, Wang Zi could only choose to move forward, because he had already done the test just now, and he would eventually return here if he walked in that direction, so if there was really an exit from this cave, it could only be somewhere in front.
Wang Zi swallowed hard and spit, and hammered himself a few times in the chest full of encouragement, and then clenched his cold fists and walked forward step by step.
As we deepened, this wide area finally came into full appearance, the overall shape resembled an ellipse, with a radius of about twenty or thirty meters, and the walls were very smooth and flat, and the walls were full of traces of artificial excavation.
In the center of this oval, there is a platform about one and a half meters and a half, the platform is a neat circle, surrounded by some strange stripes, and a number of monsters with two heads and four walls.
It looks like an altar.
It was the first time Wang Zi had seen this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but be a little curious in addition to being shocked. He swept his flashlight around the walls, and he noticed that there were candlesticks on some of them, and they all looked like they had been replaced.
Because the irradiation range of the flashlight is limited, Wang Zi took out a zippo lighter from the storage bag, went to a candlestick nearby, jumped and lit it.
The lighting of a candlestick suddenly illuminated part of the area, although the fire was not strong, but it also made Wang Zi feel a lot more relieved, he continued to walk to the side, and then lit another candlestick.
In this way, Wang Zi lit ten candlesticks one after another, and had already circled most of the entire oval area along the wall, and the reason why he stopped was that he found a few somewhat terrifying things.
They were two terrified-looking paper figures.
They wore tall hats and long, crescent-moon eyes painted on their faces, smiling rather than smiling. It seems to be open.
Wang Zi felt that these two paper figures were the same as the black and white impermanence in his impression, but there was a slight difference in color. One of the paper figures was leaning straight against the wall, his mouth slightly open, and a long tongue was faintly visible on his chin. The other paper figure was lying on its side on the ground, with his hands on his chest, as if he was resting.
Wang Zi was so focused on lighting the candlestick that he didn't notice the two paper figures, and when he lit the candlestick, the two paper figures emerged from the darkness.
He was startled by the two paper figures at the time, but after some apprehensive observation. The two paper figures remained motionless in their original positions, otherwise he might have run away in a panic again.
Whoever has a funeral or something, will use similar paper figures, but it is rare to make them as lifelike as these two paper figures. Wang Zi didn't pay much attention to these two handicrafts, although he didn't know why there were paper figures in this place. But for now, he's just bent on finding an exit, that's all.
When Wang Zi bypassed the paper man. In front of him, an oversized water tank appeared. The tank was covered with a wooden lid, but it was not tightly covered, and a disgusting rancid stench emanated from it.
There was no doubt that the stench he had smelled earlier was coming from this tank.
Although Wang Zi could see the water tank, he still turned on the flashlight and took a photo, and there was no pattern on it. The lid is also very ordinary, and I don't know what it contains, but it emits such a pungent stench.
Wang Zi was not in the mood to open the cylinder head to take a look, but pinched his nose and hurriedly walked away from him. Just as his body had just skirted the tank. He suddenly heard a "click" behind him, which also caused him to look back.
As a result, the scene that made him cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet appeared, and he saw that the two paper figures all stood up!
Wang Zi's eyes widened in disbelief, and the two paper figures also responded at this time, seeing that they slowly turned their heads, and then opened their mouths and let out an ugly and strange laugh at Wang Zi.
"Quack ......!"
The strangeness of the two paper figures almost frightened Wang Zi away, and he immediately screamed in fright, and then fled in the direction away from the two paper figures.
"Where's the exit? Where is the export? ”
Wang Zi roared in despair in his heart as he ran, but it didn't take long for him to feel an itch in his neck, and then a long pointed head stretched out from the back of his neck.
It was one of the paper figures, but it didn't know when it climbed onto his back.
Wang Zi only felt a cold air gushing from the inside out, his head became blank at this time, his ears were full of sharp ringing, and even his heartbeat was almost nonexistent.
I'm going to die. This is the only thought left in Wang Zi's eyes at the moment.
"Where is the demon doing it again!"
Just when Wang Zi was desperate and thought that he was going to die on the spot, a loud shout suddenly came from his ears, and the sound shocked him, it turned out to be the unkind monk who had been separated from him before.
The person who came was a bad monk, and at this moment, there was a burst of golden light on his body, and there was a golden bell on his bright head, and the light came from this.
"Fortunately, I saw through the maze early, otherwise Lord Wang would have drunk Meng Po soup at this time."
Seeing that Wang Zi's life was alive, the unkind monk was also relieved in his heart. As soon as he and Wang Zi entered the cave, he was shocked to find that Wang Zi in front of him was gone, and he entered a long and narrow passage.
He originally thought that he was just separated from Wang Zi, but under the careful feeling, he actually noticed a trace of extremely familiar aura, and then he suddenly thought of something, and used his magic weapon Jin Zhong to break the maze.
The paper man lying on Wang Zi's back was still lying there, but his head was originally lowered, but at this time, he was looking at the unkind monk with a cold gaze, and his pale face showed a look of jealousy.
The unkind monk seemed to have guessed something, so he didn't immediately go to save Wang Zi, but said loudly in a raised voice:
"Since the donor is an exorcist, he should know the rules of this business. Subdue demons and subdue demons, exorcise demons and save people. You must not delve into evil techniques such as demagoguery. ”
After saying this jargon, the monk held his breath and paid attention to his surroundings, and at this time, he heard a murmuring sound from the side, and then the lid on the water tank slowly swiped to the side.
When the cylinder head "passed" to the ground, accompanied by a disgusting rancid stench, I saw a human head soaked in carrion juice, slowly, slowly stretched out of the water tank.
Although this person's hair and face were covered with disgusting mucus, if you look closely, this is a handsome young face. His eyes were like the pair of paper figures, long and narrow, sharp, and at this moment, he was staring coldly at the unkind monk opposite.
"I didn't expect the donor to be so young, it seems that the monk I met a genius today." When he saw the person's face, the monk couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
It's just that the young man sneered after hearing this:
"The only reason I can maintain this youthful appearance is because I am now a living dead." Speaking of this, the young man in the tank couldn't help but raise his tone and asked:
"Who are you? What are you here for? ”
The young man asked unquestioningly, as if he would fight if he disagreed.
The unkind monk didn't care about this, he didn't think that the other party would do anything unfavorable to them, so he replied truthfully:
"We are under a terrible curse, and we are also under the control of the curse when we come here." After answering succinctly, the monk then asked:
"Who are you, why are you hiding in such a cave and making yourself look like this person is not a ghost or a ghost."
A little surprise appeared on the young man's face when he heard this, and then he replied in a deep voice:
"Whether you're cursed or you've strayed into here, once you're here, you'll never want to go out again in your life.
Whether you are an exorcist or a master of Gu tricks, once you enter this village, there is only one way to die. As for why I want to hide here like this, it's because I want to get out of here.
But...... As a living person, there is no way to escape. (To be continued......)
