Chapter 42: The Hanging Garden
In the dark, the light of the two flashlights was swaying around, I sat on the ground and watched Liang Ruoyi being injured, and his body began to slowly return to normal.
The big-headed Buddha was actually less than half a foot away from me, but he didn't seem to expect me to recover so quickly, and he didn't guard against me, so I grabbed a leg very smoothly!
The moment I grabbed one of the legs of the big-headed Buddha, my whole body trembled violently as if I had been electrocuted, like the feeling I felt when I grabbed the soul fixing pill more than half a year ago.
And the big-headed Buddha was not comfortable, after being caught by me, his body also trembled violently, and at this moment, Liang Ruoyi suddenly burst up, and the short blade in his hand stabbed into the chest of the big-headed Buddha with a "poof"!
"Whew-"
The big-headed Buddha suddenly let out a piercing scream, like a ghost, scared me all over, and Liang Ruoyi in front of me was also unforgiving, stretched out his hand and pulled out the short blade, and kicked the big-headed Buddha out with a kick!
I rolled on the spot and sat up, still trembling all over: This thing is really powerful, the things that have been blessed with the Buddha mantra are not ordinary, even if they are evil things, they are not ordinary evil things, and the evil qi is so heavy that even I can barely catch it.
The big-headed Buddha was kicked away by Liang Ruoyi, fell to the ground heavily, but the wound on his chest was not bloody, and his little hands were on the ground, and he stood up again, folded his hands, looked at me with a smile, turned around and disappeared into the darkness with a few ups and downs......
"Phewβfinally gone!" I let out a sigh of relief and turned my head to look, only to see Liang Ruoyi staggering to the ground, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth!
"Hey, are you alright?!" I asked hurriedly.
Liang Ruoyi gave me a blank look: "The evil aura on that thing is almost unbearable for you, I received a slap, can I feel good?!" β
With that, Liang Ruoyi sat on the ground, took out a few pills from his backpack and stuffed them into his mouth, leaning against the stone wall to the side to rest.
I looked at the time, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The golden python actually chased here, the only possibility is that the hole that appeared at that time was connected to this place, so the python chased after it. But what about the pig's head? Where did this bastard go?!
There is also the only seventh master who has not appeared, so nothing will happen, right?
At this time, I also have some physical conditions, the moment I grabbed the big-headed Buddha before, it was as if I had been shocked, and now my body is still a little numb and crispy, and I can't use my strength.
Liang Ruoyi was resting on the side, and I simply took the flashlight off my wrist and put it on the ground, leaning against the stone wall and closing my eyes to take a nap.
I don't know how long it took, but I was kicked awake by Liang Ruoyi in a half-asleep state: "Hey, let's go!" I guess we are very close to our destination! β
I opened my eyes in a daze, glanced at the time, and found that I had been asleep for more than an hour, and Liang Ruoyi looked fine, standing in front of me with a backpack waiting for me.
"Good!" I nodded, stood up, packed my backpack, and followed Liang Ruoyi towards the front.
At this time, the place where we are looks like an underground karst cave, and all kinds of strange rocks are in different shapes, which is overwhelming. Walking deeper along the path under our feet, Liang Ruoyi and I were very cautious, knowing that the golden python and the big-headed Buddha had fled in this direction.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, a corridor appeared in front of us again.
It's just that this road looks much simpler, not so much a road as a very small cave.
"Pighead should have been here!" Liang Ruoyi said suddenly.
I was stunned: "How do you know?" β
Liang Ruoyi's flashlight shone on a place on the ground: "Look at the footprints, among the few of us, only the pig's head has such big footprints." β
I realized that the pavement under our feet did not know when it turned into relatively soft black soil, and looking in the direction pointed by Liang Ruoyi, I could clearly see a row of about forty-five yards of shoe prints walking towards the depths of the cave, which should be pig's head.
Liang Ruoyi turned his head to look around, and soon found the traces left by the golden python on the ground, which also extended into the cave.
"There's more!" I also hurriedly turned around to look for it, and soon found the second row of footprints, which looked like they should be from the Budai Monk or the Seventh Master. In other words, one of the Seventh Master and the Budai Monk has also come here. As for the footprints of the big-headed Buddha, there is no one, and there is another point, I remembered that I had seen the old woman of Lotus Mountain outside before, and I don't know if I have entered here.
"Let's go! Get in! Liang Ruoyi looked around, there was no other trace, and he didn't hesitate to go in.
"Beauty, there's everything in here!" I said with a bitter face: "The golden python has entered, and it is estimated that the two big-headed Buddhas are also inside, should we wait a little longer to see if anyone else comes?" β
"What are you waiting for!" Liang Ruoyi turned her head and glared at me: "Didn't you notice that there was only one person's footprints left?" If we can't wait, we'll have to die here! β
I shrugged my shoulders and walked in with Liang Ruoyi.
This cave is almost a zhang high, and the width is only more than half a zhang, and Liang Ruoyi and I can't walk side by side in it, so we can only go one after the other. After walking in, I found that this cave is actually very short, and the flashlight in my hand can shine at the entrance of the cave, and it seems that it is only more than ten meters long in total.
Seeing that the two of us were about to walk out, there was a sound of chattering on the dark stone wall around us!
Liang Ruoyi immediately stopped and made a silent gesture to me.
This voice, no matter how I heard it, felt like the huge golden python, and suddenly subconsciously grabbed Liang Ruoyi's arm - the python is not an evil thing, I can't deal with it!
But the sound soon died down, and silence returned to the dark cave.
"Let's go." Liang Ruoyi said coldly and walked forward. I hurried after me, and this time I walked out of the cave without a hitch, and we were amazed by the scene before us!
In front of us was a large clearing, surrounded by countless huge trees, and the branches of these trees were all entangled together, forming a huge canopy, and standing at the bottom, it looked like a huge round flying saucer.
And this place is already outside, we have walked in the underground corridor for a few days, and now we have come out, this place is like a small valley deep in the mountains, and if you look at it from another angle, you will find that the intertwined and tangled branches above the head are divided into several layers, like a small building hanging in the air, which is breathtaking.
Because the sun was setting at this time, and the branches above the head were also extremely dense, blocking the light outside.
"Wow......" I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses: "The hanging gardens of Babylon?!" It's amazing how much of this structure can be there......"
The canopy of the first layer is about two feet above the ground, so you can climb up the trunk. In the darkness, Liang Ruoyi and I walked around the clearing, and when we came to the bottom of a big tree, we suddenly heard a groan.
I glanced at Liang Ruoyi, I directly pulled out the dagger, and Liang Ruoyi walked over lightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the bushes, and saw the pig's head lying in the bushes, unkempt, untidy, no one is a ghost......
"Hey, are you alright?!" I asked, and hurriedly bent down, stretched out my hands, and dragged it out with great difficulty. After getting it out, I found that the pig's head was a little unconscious at this time, and there were several wounds on his body, and the wounds on his legs were still bleeding!
"Water!" Liang Ruoyi took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to me, I took it and unscrewed it and poured some water on the pig's head, and the fat man slowly woke up......
"Gu, Gu Rui? Am I dead? The pig's head muttered, but his eyes were so small that I couldn't see if they were open in the dark.
"Not dead!" I looked at the pig's head lying on the ground with half a life left, and asked angrily, "You haven't eaten for a few days, have you?" Fortunately, you're fat, you're hibernating! Can I eat now? β
"Eat, eat?" As soon as he heard the word "eat", the pig's head suddenly shook his delicate body, and his eyes widened: "Not good!" Watch out! β
