Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Sac
Welcome to Guanshu Network:
The ancient and dull bronze sound accompanied by the mechanical "click" sound, like a sonata in the wilderness, suddenly sounded, as if it brought people into that lost world.
For thousands of years, someone finally came here again, and for thousands of years, it was finally reopened. With the last "bang", the two bronze giant doors of "click, click, click......" were finally opened.
Cha Wenbin immediately pulled out the staff again, stuffed it into his bag, and beckoned to the three-legged toad: "Man, this time there is a way, go!" ”
A person and a toad just entered the door in front, and there was a sound of "click" from the back, the door actually closed by itself, watching the gap getting smaller and smaller, Cha Wenbin was very entangled in his heart, whether to continue to go or not. People often have more temptation for the unknown world than the correct judgment in front of them, and Cha Wenbin is no exception. For him, since he entered this village, everything is too extraordinary, he has entered a game, he has to continue according to the gameplay of this game, and quitting halfway is equivalent to not knowing anything.
After only hesitating for a moment, Cha Wenbin decided to move on, since someone has built such a place, there must be a secret that belongs to it. With a "bang", the two bronze doors merged again, separating the two worlds again, and what kind of arrangement awaited him. Cha Wenbin looked at the three-legged toad and said, "Man, this time the two of us are completely tied together, if you want to find something, just squeak, so that I can make preparations and hurry." ”
It was still him who walked in front, and the three-legged toad walked behind, since entering this door, the three-legged toad had not made a sound, but the distance between him and Cha Wenbin had been closer, and he stopped from time to time, as if he was feeling something, but there was nothing else to greet them except the stones under their feet.
It's quiet here, it's like a sealed basement, there's nothing but himself, but fortunately, he still has a toad brother with him, otherwise Cha Wenbin would really wonder if this inexplicable silence will drive him crazy.
He tried his best to convince himself not to be infected by this empty atmosphere, until something other than the stone appeared in his eyes for the first time, and now only a hundred meters away from him, the spotlight had already shone some dark shadows, although it was not very clear, but this was definitely the first time it had been discovered.
The three-legged toad also stopped moving forward, squatting on the ground as if thinking about something, it is very likely that the things here also exceed its knowledge of this underground world, after all, it is far more familiar with the situation here than Cha Wenbin.
"Why, did you notice something wrong too?". Although the three-legged toad had no expression from the first time he saw it, Cha Wenbin could indeed see that it had a sense of caution at this time, and couldn't help but increase his attention. Looking at the dark shadows in front of him, he didn't dare to hold it up, the seven-star sword had been slowly pulled out, and there was naturally a special way for those invisible things, in fact, he was more afraid of those snakes, rats, insects and ants, after all, he was just a Taoist priest, after all, he was just a mortal.
As the distance got closer, small red dots could be seen around the shadows, waiting there as someone was carrying a small lantern.
"Ghost lanterns?" Cha Wenbin inadvertently came up with such a sentence, but those red dots and bright lights were indeed a little scary to look at. Turning around to look at the three-legged toad, it still had the same expression, looking straight ahead, it seemed that it was hopeless to expect it to give some hints, after all, no matter how smart it was, it was just a beast, and it was fate to be able to follow him.
Cha Wenbin smiled helplessly, when did he become so timid, he has gone down to the underworld, and he is afraid that there will be ghosts in front of him? Thinking that another group of people are still alive and dead, but they are grinding here.
Just thinking about it, a bare-bottomed child suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a small red lantern in his hand, standing not far away with a smile and grimacing with Cha Wenbin.
The naughty boy was only four or five years old, white and tender, very cute, and the child was as beautiful as if it was carved out of jade. Even Cha Wenbin was attracted by the cuteness of his body at first sight, and he felt that there was no pressure in his heart for days, just watching the child laughing and naughty there.
The naughty boy carried the lantern, made a few grimaces at Cha Wenbin, hooked his finger at him, and then twisted his bare ass and jumped forward. Cha Wenbin, seeing that the child was really cute, followed him step by step. The boy stopped every few steps, turned around and greeted him with a grin, then hooked his fingers.
What about Cha Wenbin? I was happy to mess with him, and when the child stopped, he stopped; The child walked a few steps, and he followed a few steps, always with a smile on his face. After walking for about seventy or eighty meters, the child jumped on a big rock, waved his hand with his bare feet, and beckoned Cha Wenbin to sit down.
As for Cha Wenbin, he raised his left hand as if asking the child to wait for him, and the smile on his face was still the same. The child kept waving his little lotus root-like hands as if to say, "Come, come."
One step, two steps, seeing that Cha Wenbin was about to pick up the child, suddenly his face changed, he had been waving his left hand in the air, "whew", a yellow rune paper flew towards the child with sparks, "boom" and then burned in front of him, the child's face changed, "ah" screamed, and he couldn't help but raise his hands to protect his face.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cha Wenbin immediately put his right hand into the Qiankun bag, took out a net made of hemp rope, and drew a gossip diagram with a white rope on it, and the net was completely opened in the air, circling towards the child, and just covered him impartially.
Cha Wenbin looked at the little doll in the net and said coldly: "This place, no one has come in for thousands of years, how can there be more of your doll, just this little trick of confusion also wants to harm people, don't think I don't recognize you, bag!" After that, the seven-star sword in his right hand had been raised, and he was about to slash down.
It turned out that when he saw this little doll for the first time, he knew that he had really encountered a ghost, where did a child come from such a place, but the reason why he didn't do it was because he didn't know if this ghost wanted to harm him, so he followed his mind and followed the plan.
But it's not accurate to say that this is a ghost, more precisely it's called a sac, this thing he once encountered at his grandmother's house, it was transformed by some animals that had been cultivated, and it was more common in some deep mountains and old forests. In the past, old people used to say that someone walked in the mountains and got lost, and then fell off the cliff and died, saying that he was hooked by a ghost. In fact, most of the people who do this are this kind of spirit called sacs. Anyone who encounters this thing, don't be afraid, don't believe your eyes, just shout, it will naturally make him appear in his original form!
Cha Wenbin closed his eyes and silently recited a heart-clearing mantra in his mouth, and when he opened his eyes again, "Woo, woo, ......" A baby's cry came, and when he looked at it, there was a waterway in front of him, and at this moment under his net was an ugly-looking reptile, with its mouth open and closed, making a cry similar to that of a baby.
"It turned out to be a giant salamander doing the trick." Giant salamanders, also known as baby fish, have a cry much like that of a baby and prefer to live in underground burrows with no light.
However, less than twenty centimeters away from Cha Wenbin, the branch of a bronze tree was about to pierce his eyeballs, the branch of this bronze tree was extremely sharp, like a dagger protruding outward, and there were some white bones hanging on the tree. Presumably, this giant salamander just wanted to lure himself into crashing into this tree branch and stabbing it to death, "Good you vicious thing!" Cha Wenbin was about to raise his sword to stab, "Quack" called, a huge tongue was thrown out first, and when Cha Wenbin reacted, there was only that empty net left on the ground, and when he looked back, the tongue of the three-legged toad was wiping on the big mouth, presumably the giant salamander had made a snack for it.
"Man, you're a bit unrighteous here, just watching me walk over and not moving, and you only make a move when I can handle it?" After speaking, he pretended to be angry and patted the toad's nose, but the three-legged toad has the virtue of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, I won't make a move, what can you do, make him angry and funny, just go and look at the tree next to him.
Water seepage had begun to appear under his feet, the temperature was lower than that of the dark river outside, and it was cold and bitter, and this bronze tree had risen from the ground here, Cha Wenbin had nine branches, divided into three layers and separated in three directions, each branch seemed to be deliberately polished to be extremely sharp, and this white bone caught his attention.
The skeleton did not look like it had been hit by itself, but was hung upside down, because his skull and ribs had been scattered on the ground, and his pelvic bones happened to be stuck in the branches, and from the position of this pelvic bone, the body of the man was head down and his feet up when he died. Although the giant salamander has the power to confuse and lead people to collide, it is also incapable of hanging the corpse upside down. The first word that popped up in Cha Wenbin's mind was: sacrifice!
When a person is chosen, he uses these sharp blades from the trees to pluck under the skin of the person's back and hang them from these bronze trees to punish or complete some kind of sacrifice. It just so happened that there were giant salamanders in this place, so they were used as a tool to harm people.
Cha Wenbin looked up and saw that there was really some red stuff on the top of his head, which was particularly obvious under the illumination of the spotlight, and he tried to poke it with his sword, it should be some kind of red glowstone, because it absorbed the light, so it turned red.
Just out of the waterway, this time I have to take the waterway again, but I tried, fortunately the water is not deep, put away the gossip net, and then walked inside, less than a few meters, I saw a bronze tree again, almost the same as the previous one......
