He Wei grabbed his arm again in disbelief and looked at the scar on the wrist of the female corpse, not only could he clearly feel the cold air sucked in his palm, but he could also see the blood flowing down the hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But no matter from which angle he looked closely, he couldn't feel that the extremely pale face in front of him looked like a fluffy rag doll, He Wei firmly believed in his thoughts, raised his dagger and said to the second wolf: "Okay! Good! I'm going to put her belly out of the way now, so you can see if it's a corpse or a rag doll. ”

The second wolf forced a smile and said, "Hey! The head is gone, I believe she is a female corpse, not a rag doll. ”

The old ghost couldn't help but come up angrily and interjected: "Second wolf, don't be untrustworthy, it's not a good thing to deceive your boss, in the pool of blood is obviously a broken doll that has been old for many years." ”

At this time, the female corpse on the ground suddenly opened its blood-red eyes, her arms and knees continued to spread out in all directions, and her stiff body was arranged in the shape of a cross.

The people next to her barely reacted, and the waist of the female corpse protruded from the grass, and the skeleton in her body made a string of crushing sounds. A strange red flower sprouted from the dry mouth, and the petals bloomed from the inside out and spread rapidly in all directions.

He Wei inadvertently glanced back at the female corpse lying on the lawn, and suddenly found that countless slender and soft flower vines were wrapped around in front of him, which were also stained with layers of wet yellow liquid, slowly approaching his limbs.

He Wei was so frightened that he couldn't help but burst his voice and screamed, his soft legs moved back involuntarily, his hands supported the thick grass on the ground, and the soles of his feet kept moving forward, and his whole body was like a panicked hare, and he couldn't take care of it.

The demons who were standing nearby looked at him in surprise when they saw it, and they were confused by what was in front of them.

The second wolf also went up curiously and asked, "Head, what's wrong with you today, are you okay?" ”

He Wei lay on the ground in fear, looking at the top of the flower vine like dead ashes, and leaning on the loess. Immediately pointed to the ethereal blood vine in front of him and screamed, "Quick, look, devil!" Devil!!! ”

The second wolf looked back at the grass under the tree in confusion, but there was not even a single fly in his field of vision, it was empty. He smiled in surprise, "Head? What the hell are you looking at? That's nothing! ”

He Wei shook his head left and right in panic and shouted wildly: "Hurry! Go up and cut it off with your sword, it's too many, too many vines. ”

Everyone gathered around in surprise when they saw it, and countless pairs of eyes looked at He Wei who was swaying from side to side in place, all of them were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine whether this one was real or not.

Even the old ghost on the side was stunned, his scalp felt a little cold, he looked at He Wei in horror and replied: "Head! What's wrong with you today, why are you crazy? ”

He Wei suddenly jumped up from the ground, hurriedly turned his head and ran quickly towards the dock, his every move seemed extremely exaggerated, like a wild boar that had gone mad, running staggering.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, and they followed one after another, and some even said as they ran, "Head, come back quickly, where are you going?" ”

At the same time, the figure of the old man in white suddenly appeared again on the faint dock, he straightened his waist with a faint smile, pinched the embarrassing stubble on his chin, and laughed: "Hahahahahahaha!!!!! ”

When seven or eight ghosts followed behind, they also found a wooden boat on the shore, and an old man standing on the boat. Suddenly, everyone stopped.

He Wei walked all the way to the dock, and suddenly jumped onto the wooden boat three meters away from the shore, and the next second after getting up, he passed out on the boat and never got up again.

When the second wolf saw this, he quickly moved to the edge of the dock, pointed at the old man in white on the wooden boat and scolded angrily: "Hey! Old man, row the boat to the shore, and we're going to take our heads down. ”

Several nearby ghosts also rushed up to the edge of the dock, and shouted at the same time with panicked faces: "Come here, old man!" "If you want to live, row the boat over" "Give you three seconds!" ”

The old man in white didn't reply, but mysteriously lowered his head and let out a series of weird laughter in his voice, and the whole person had slowly turned into a translucent shape.

The second wolf realized that something was wrong, and immediately drew a dagger from his waist, slammed it at the old man's torso, and yelled again: "If you don't come and wait for me to catch you, I will cut you into eight pieces!" ”

The old man in white just stood on the boat and laughed, ignoring them. After a few seconds or so, layers of bright red blood suddenly appeared on his white robe, staining his entire robe.

In an instant, the body of the old man in white turned into a ball of blood and disappeared into the wooden boat, and the boat staggered to the surface of the river, only to hear the old man's dark laughter emanating from another space.

The second wolf looked left, right, rubbed his eyes and looked forward, but found nothing. He hurriedly turned back to the people around him and said, "Quick, pull that boat up for me." ”

Seven or eight demons rushed up and dragged the rotten wooden boat by the river to the bank with a rope. The boat didn't look very big in the first place, three meters long and about a meter wide. But it looked very heavy, like pulling a jack tripod.

When the wooden boat stopped on the bank of the river, the second wolf stretched out his neck to take a closer look at the situation above, and just found He Wei lying straight in the wooden boat facing the sky.

When several ghosts saw him, they immediately pulled him up and dragged him all the way to the wooden plank of the dock, but He Wei never woke up, and his face became more and more pale.

The second wolf said: "Oh no, my head is haunted by a ghost, so don't get close." ”

"Spread out, spread out, what are you doing here, let the old man take a look." The old ghost walked over from the lawn and pushed away the crowd standing beside him.

The old ghost almost walked in and found that He Wei was pale, his complexion was sallow, and his limbs had stiffened into a ball of ice. He quickly said to the people around him: "You all turn around for me, the old man has a way to save him." ”

After everyone heard this, they had to lower their heads and turn around, and the second wolf curiously looked at the old ghost's poor demeanor, hesitated for a few seconds, and didn't ask why, just turned his back to him and looked at the dock.

The old ghost laughed secretly in his heart, and immediately slid a knife out of his sleeve, and walked towards He Wei step by step.

The old ghost squatted down, firmly pressed the dagger against He Wei's chest, and was about to plunge it hard, but at this time He Wei suddenly woke up.

He Wei suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the old ghost and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The old ghost was suddenly startled, hurriedly put back the dagger in his hand, and replied with a smile on his face: "Hehe, the old man has a treasure knife that he wants to offer you, I don't know if you like it or not." ”

He Wei stretched out his hand and snatched the dagger in his hand, took a closer look, smiled and said, "Oh, so that's the case, I like this knife, then I will be shameless to my subordinates." ”

At this time, everyone heard He Wei's voice and immediately turned around.

He Wei also stood up from the ground, looked left and right, and said, "What's the matter?" What are you all doing here, go and ambush yourself. ”

The second wolf replied in surprise: "Are you still in ambush?" It's almost time, so let's go back. ”

He Wei glared at him and said, "It's almost time?" Time flies, so let's go back and come over tomorrow. ”

The second wolf smiled and said to the people around him, "Let's all go back!" Let's all go back! Today is here, tomorrow is coming. ”

Everyone nodded listlessly, turned around and slowly prepared to walk in the direction of the town.

But at this moment, a figure of an old man in white suddenly appeared under the giant tree not far away, and his back to everyone instantly let out a string of laughter.

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their frightened eyes swept towards the grass in front of them.

He Wei also twisted his neck to look, the whole person was stunned, and he said to everyone: "Hurry, don't go!" Go up and grab the old man under the tree. ”

The second wolf stood aside and gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, it's him again, brothers, give it to me!" ”

The old ghost also hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, go to the dock to get weapons and equipment first, we can't just send us to death empty-handed." ”

As soon as the old ghost's words fell, more than a dozen ghosts quickly turned around and rushed towards the wooden box on the shore, and when they came to the wooden box, the ghosts opened the weapon box in front of them, which was filled with a lot of sharp blades.

The two wolves ran over and poured out all the wooden boxes, and asked everyone to take a handful.

One by one, they picked up the blades on the ground, from glittering swords to glossy barefoot hammers, and to extremely sharp bows. These pieces of equipment are indestructible weapons, enough to fully arm twenty or thirty people.

He Wei also walked over, took a sharp bow and crossbow, and pinned it on his waist. Then he turned to look at the mysterious old man under the tree, stretched out his hand to him and said to the people, "Brothers, give it to me!" ”

More than a dozen ghosts all responded, and rushed forward with the weapons in their hands, shouting the same slogan in unison, and "Bang!" "Gallop away.

And the old man in white under the tree didn't make any movement, except for standing there and smirking, there was no precautionary measure, and the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the louder he became.

At the moment when everyone rushed into the jungle, the old man in white suddenly disappeared from under everyone's noses, but the terrible laughter still did not stop.

The ghosts were all at a loss, twisting their necks and staring at each other, completely unaware of what was happening.

He Wei walked over quickly, looked up at the huge plane tree, and found that it was slowly beginning to wither again, and in a fit of anger, he said to everyone: "Cut down this plane tree for me, pull it up one by one, and dig three feet into the ground to pull out this old man who pretends to be a ghost." ”

As soon as He Wei's words fell, he saw everyone raise the blades in their hands high, their eyes locked on the big tree, and one by one they rushed to the huge plane tree with their hoarse legs, and slashed at the thick tree pole with the sharp tip of the knife.

But one by one, the blades cut out one after another mutilated holes, but the giant tree was unscathed, without the slightest sign of being scratched.

The second wolf held the heavy hammer in his hand, and smashed it into the thick tree pole in front of him with all his strength, and the hammer in his hand immediately shattered into powder, like an egg touching a stone.

This was not the end, and a bright red blood water suddenly spurted out from the gap between the bark in front of him, and rushed towards the forehead of the second wolf. In the next second, his whole body was like crazy, he turned around and ran around frantically, and his mouth kept roaring: "Ah, my face, my face is so itchy." ”

Everyone was completely stunned, and they stood on the lawn in a daze, stiff and motionless, and the weapons in their hands were almost unstable.

He Wei didn't believe the facts in front of him, so he continued to command to everyone: "What do you see, keep cutting it for me, and at all costs, you must give me this tree in half." ”

Everyone had no choice but to continue to step forward, clenched the blade in their hands, and kept slashing frantically at the big tree.

At this moment, a sputter of blood shot out from the tree pole and flew straight into the face of one of them. Soon, the man was also crazy, scurrying about like a sick wild dog.

When the ghosts saw it, they were all frightened and panicked, their legs were numb, and one blade after another in their hands fell to the ground unconsciously.

One person came out and couldn't help screaming, and the rest of the people were also infected, so frightened that they didn't look back, so they turned around and ran away.

He Wei suddenly looked startled, gritted his teeth and kept yelling at their backs: "Hold on, come back!" Give me all back! ”

But this group of ghosts had turned into frightened birds at this time, their minds were blank, and they were in a state of complete collapse, unable to hear any sound in their ears at all, and just desperately fled in one direction.

At this time, the leaves of the big tree instantly shrank into an oval shape, and a thin and long vine drilled out between the gaps, stretching out to the second wolf who was running around under the big tree, locking his neck firmly within his range, and suddenly retracted, hanging the entire body of the second wolf in mid-air.

The second wolf grabbed his neck tightly with both hands, his legs kept staring desperately, and his limbs were struggling frantically.

He Wei was dumbfounded, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his heels were stuck in the mud that seeped out of the ground, and he couldn't move.

The second wolf was hung on a branch and struggled for a few seconds, and suddenly his eyes turned white, and his two mouths were one for one, and he spit out a long tongue and hung it on his chin, and his whole body stopped moving in an instant.

The leaves on the giant tree turned dark green in an instant, and the blood stains on the tree poles slowly disappeared, and they grew taller and taller, even higher than before.

At this time, the second wolf's eyelids suddenly opened, his face turned green, his forehead was black, he moved his mouth slightly, his voice seemed to have changed, and he opened his mouth and said: "You ruthless and unrighteous young man, you dare to use a knife to cut the old body, you will regret it." ”

He Wei was shocked in his heart, and said slowly: "Who are you, why are you coming to trouble me, I don't know you." ”

The second wolf hanging on the tree didn't speak, he slowly closed his eyes, his body kept hardening, his face looked even paler, and he hung motionless on the branch.

And at this time, it can be said that there is no one around He Wei, and the dozen or so ghosts before have long disappeared, and the entire jungle is quiet.

At the same time, the old ghost from before suddenly came over, patted He Wei's shoulder, and said slowly: "Don't panic, there is still an old man, in the old man's opinion, the reason why this demon tree keeps cutting is mainly because it eats too much blood, and the tree pole has become a sperm, so it can't be attacked directly." ”

He Wei subconsciously glanced back at him and said, "Why don't you run?" ”

The old ghost smiled and said, "Hahaha! I can climb to today's position, how can I be a vain person, I haven't seen any big scenes, how can a mere demon tree scare the old man away! ”

He Wei took a soothing breath, wiped the cold sweat flowing down his forehead, and replied slowly: "Then what do you think we should do now?" ”

The old ghost patted his chest and said in an accentuated tone: "In this way, this tree seems to be indestructible, but the soil below can't be impregnable, as long as we dig from the bottom up, we will definitely be able to dig down this demon tree." ”

After He Wei heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, so he agreed with his idea, ran to the ground and picked up a shovel, turned his back to the old ghost and said, "Senior, since this is the case, let's hurry up, and we must dig down this demon tree before dawn." ”

The old ghost suddenly said, "No, you can't dig like this, you go find a piece of cloth and wrap the bark of this big tree, so that we can start to act with confidence." ”

When He Wei heard this, he immediately took off the vest on his body, and even took off his pants, tore it into a piece of cloth bag, knotted a long one, and wrapped the big tree, but because the tree pole was thick like a bucket water tank, it was still not completely wrapped, and he went to the jungle to find a lot of leaves, which were connected into a piece, and then the big tree was completely wrapped.

When the old ghost saw it, he nodded, walked up quickly, picked up the shovel that the group of ghosts had thrown down on the ground before, rushed to the bottom of the big tree, and began to dig up the soil around the tree layer by layer.

Sure enough, when the shovel went down, the soil began to loosen, and the further down it went, the easier it became, and soon the big tree was so shaky that it almost fell down.

But the old ghost suddenly stopped at this time, faced He Wei beside him, and said, "Stop first, don't dig, let's continue to dig after the moonlight disappears." ”

He Wei was curious and asked, "Why?" ”

The old ghost cha threw down the shovel in his hand, and replied breathlessly: "The old man has learned some Taoist techniques before his death, no matter where he is, as long as the moonlight is too strong, at this time to catch ghosts, bad things will inevitably happen, although we are in the underworld, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is better to be careful." ”

He Wei was convinced of the old ghost's words, and immediately threw the shovel aside and ran to the lawn to rest.

The old ghost gently patted the dirt on his body, took out an old cigarette stick from his pocket, slipped a box of matches from his sleeve with his arm vertically, lit it and took a deep breath.

He Wei looked back at the old ghost and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?" Give me a bite. ”

The old ghost smiled and threw the cigarette stick in his hand into He Wei's hand. After He Wei took it, he began to suck it, and when he sucked it into his throat, he immediately felt hot, and he couldn't help but swallow, choking so much that tears flowed out.

He Wei asked with tears in his eyes: "What kind of smoke is this, why is it so choking, and there is no energy at all, there is a feeling of smoke." ”

The old ghost laughed and said, "This is tobacco from the graveyard, and after smoking, you can feel a feeling that you have never felt before." ”

He Wei was curious: "What? Tobacco grows in a graveyard too? I really don't understand this, I'm also a farmer who is blind and can't grow crops, how can I grow tobacco? ”

The old ghost hesitated for a while and deliberately shifted the topic to the side, saying: "Hehe, don't ask about this, in short, it is beneficial and harmless to you, you can see it now, although the old man is usually not very good-tempered, but at the critical moment, you will feel what is the real affection." ”

He Wei sighed and said, "Yes, it was really my problem before, and you shouldn't think what kind of person this is just by looking at your appearance, but I still have some questions for you." ”

The old ghost almost snatched the cigarette in his hand, took another puff himself, and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask, this will also make you better see what a cruel world this is." ”

He Wei patted the back of his head in a daze, and said, "What I want to ask is, why are steamed buns so valuable in this ghost place, I thought about it before, and I feel that it is not suitable for cleaning." ”

The old ghost took another puff of his cigarette and sighed, "Because there are no crops, no grain, no livestock, no wood, no ore, no cloth, nothing, in this case, what do you think is the most valuable?" ”

He Wei thought about it, understood, and replied, "That must be the most valuable food." ”

The old ghost said: "Yes, you understand, why do you still ask." ”

He Wei suddenly stood up from the ground, raised his head to look at the moon on the clouds, stared intently for a long time, and then turned his back to him and said, "Actually, what I'm curious about is why there is nothing in this ghost place, is there no one in the first place?" Or was it snatched away? ”
