Chapter 12: The Immortal Tree, the Immortal Son
I may have known what kind of person Meng Jian was before, but since he disappeared five years ago, he met again in such a strange place, and his knowledge of the ancient tomb made him full of mystery.
At this time, Meng Jian seemed to lose his mind, his face was red, he pushed me away, walked to the tree embedded in the male corpse, stared at him with disgust, and suddenly the steel knife quickly cut a cold light in his hand, the knife had penetrated into the abdomen of the male corpse through the tree, the knife turned and stirred a few times, the male corpse opened his mouth and made a baby-like cry from the abdomen, the sound went straight through the eardrum, and we covered our ears in pain, and after a few seconds, the voice of the male corpse stopped abruptly, and black smoke drifted out of his seven holes.
"If you don't want to be a human, I'll let you be a ghost! Lived for thousands of years, damn it! ”
Meng Jian grabbed the hilt of the knife with both hands and sent it forward, directly piercing the human coffin tree.
The body of the male corpse shook suddenly, and the speed visible to the naked eye began to dry and blacken into a dried corpse, this change in qiē made us have no time to react, thinking that it was over, and the abdomen of the corpse suddenly broke out of the body, just escaped from our sight in the blink of an eye.
"Oops!"
Meng Jian screamed secretly, chased after him with a steel knife, and flashed into a corridor behind. Where the three of us dare to stay here, we immediately chase in, where there is still his shadow inside, there is only one road, I shouted his name inside, and there was no response.
Only the three of us had to continue to walk forward, in the empty corridor, only the sound of our breathing, under the dim torch illumination, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Yang Junjun was a little afraid to hold the corner of Hu Yang's clothes, and the pace of moving forward couldn't help but speed up a little.
Just as I was complaining about why this corridor was so long, suddenly there was a light in front of me, and I thought that he was the only one left except for the three of us.
I excitedly called out to him, but the light suddenly flickered and disappeared silently.
"That's not right!"
I grabbed Hu Yang and said, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”
"It's a voice." Yang Junjun pointed to the wall and said, "It seems to come from a small hole in the wall!" ”
I swept the torch over the wall, then at the other wall, my face changed wildly, and I shouted at them, "Run!" ”
"Ahh What's on my head? ”
Yang Junjun suddenly shaved his hair, screamed and jumped up on the spot and threw a small thing down, we looked at it, and a big fist insect waved dozens of feet and chirped at us.
Hu Yang kicked it to pieces, and the insect liquid splashed everywhere. I ran to Yang Junjun and pulled her hair, a few pieces of her scalp were bitten, and blood flowed to her face, but fortunately it was not poisonous.
"Out of the way, let's go!"
I didn't run far, countless sounds of Suo Suo resounded throughout the corridor, I looked back, frightened souls, only to see from the small holes in the wall in all directions kept pouring out of the insects just now, the entire corridor floor was crowded like a tide, the number of smacked tongue.
Hu Yang immediately took out his gun and fired several shots at the insect swarm, each bullet entered the insect pile and suddenly the insect liquid flew sideways, and the insect swarm overshadowed the dead insects like a wave, and the ones behind stepped on the dead and crawled over.
I grabbed Hu Yang and shouted, "Run!" ”
Hu Yang put away the gun and picked up Yang Junjun. I swept the torch at the rushing swarm, and the insects suddenly stopped and chirped, not daring to move forward. As soon as I saw the play, I shook the torch into the pile of insects, and the insects spread out like waves, and seemed to be very afraid of the flames.
Turning my head to see Hu Yang and they had run away, I didn't dare to stay any longer, and the swarm of insects seemed to consciously gather together to form an arrow, fiercely rushing through the torches and jumping towards me, I screamed, and a few small cuts immediately appeared on my neck, and immediately rolled to the ground, crushing more than ten insects, getting up and running away, and the torches couldn't be taken care of.
Just as the sound of the swarm of crawling was getting closer and closer, I saw a light in front of me, and if I saw hope, I soon saw a figure standing in the middle, and it was actually the disappeared Meng Jian, running in front of him, I was already exhausted, and fell in front of him with a poof.
I really hope that when I opened my eyes, there was bright sunshine and fresh air outside, and then Hu Yang told me: We are home.
Unfortunately, when I really opened my eyes, it was still the adobe bricks of loess and the turbid air.
"Get up when you wake up!"
Seeing Meng Jian sitting beside me, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally escaped death. He looked at the dagger that saved my life five years ago, and there was a bug on the tip of the dagger.
Meng Jian threw the insect on the ground and said expressionlessly: "Fortunately, I checked your body, otherwise this insect would have gotten into the internal organs, and you would have to eat only the bones." ”
I looked at the dead worm on the ground in horror and said, "This thing looks like a worm, how can it grow so big?" It also bites. ”
Meng Jian snorted, took out a biscuit from his coat pocket, handed one to me, and said, "Who knows the things in the ancient tomb, but there is a bigger one." ”
I jumped up in shock and asked, "Bigger?" Where is it? ”
Meng Jian smiled mysteriously and said, "Haven't you seen it?" ”
"I've seen it?" I looked at his smiling expression suspiciously, and suddenly understood something, and broke out: "The monster in the pool? What the hell is that big? ”
Only then did I come back to my senses and ask, "What about Hu Yang?" ”
"I didn't see it." Meng Jian shook his head.
But they obviously took the same path, how could they not see it? I had to hurry to them, I grabbed the biscuit and stuffed it into my mouth, regardless of whether I choked or not, my stomach was about to twist out of the water for more than ten hours.
"There are actually a lot of forks in the tomb, but some of them can be seen and some of them can't be seen. I think your friend must have stumbled into a tomb somewhere, and it's not too dangerous! Don't worry too much. ”
I knew he was comforting me, but it did make me feel a little better to hear that.
Suddenly I remembered what had just happened in that secret room, and I asked him, "In that tomb just now, you were very abnormal, as if you had a deep hatred?" ”
Meng Jian didn't expect me to ask this question, inserted the dagger back into the sheath on his calf, and glared at me coldly: "I really want to know? ”
"Everyone is a friend, and when I see you like this, I should ask." I was stunned by his gaze, but I still stared at him and nodded.
Meng Jian suddenly retracted his gaze, his expression crossed a trace of desolation, and after the tip of the knife slashed on the ground, he said, "You know the story of Qin Shi Huang's request for the elixir of life. ”
I nodded.
He spoke, "The elixir is not just a pill as we think. It is actually three different things, so to speak, fetish. The first thing is the tree I just saw in the secret room, it is called the human coffin tree, also called the immortal tree. The second is called the eldest son, which Xu Fu asked for from a place in the East China Sea back then. And the last one. ”
Meng Jian clasped his head and stared at me with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "I can't remember, why can't I remember, what the last one is!" ”
Suddenly I tore myself and slapped myself like a mad hair, and I ran over and grabbed his arm to stop him from continuing to harm himself like this.
Meng Jian made a fuss for a while, slowly calmed down, sat on the ground with sweat on his face, stunned, and said for a while: "Immortal Son, Immortal Tree, plus the last thing, there will be an amazing thing." ”
I asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Turning into a dragon."
