Chapter Ninety-One: Leaving the Fire
After this voice sounded, Mr. Lu's body was obviously tense, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous.
Mr. Lu has always been very confident in this place, and no matter where he goes, he seems to be confident. But now he was silent.
The voice did not sound again, and the bamboo house was quiet again. I heard the sound of rushing water from a small river not far away. I can imagine a few water ghosts, rising and falling in the water. Perhaps, they had climbed ashore and slowly approached here.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and gradually my back felt a little cold.
Suddenly, I shuddered as I realized that something really seemed to be attached to my back.
I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to look back, I could only hold my breath and wait quietly.
The thing stood behind me for a moment. I slowly left. I couldn't see it, but with that shady feeling, I felt it walk in front of me and stick to Mr. Lui's back.
I saw Mr. Lu's back begin to flutter slightly. All the qiē proves that he is afraid.
Suddenly, Mr. Lu bent down, his voice was trembling, and he seemed to be pleading: "Believe me, this time will definitely succeed." ”
After Mr. Lu said this, I felt that the yin qi floated away. A few minutes later, a sneer came from the distance: "I believe you? I've trusted you all too many times. Over the years, how many people have you come, but who has succeeded? ”
Mr. Lu fell to the ground, his voice trembling: "Last time, last time I almost succeeded. But unexpectedly, it alarmed the old thing. ”
The voice was silent for a moment, and the room grew colder. I saw that the three oil lamps were flickering and flickering, and in one of them, the flame was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to be extinguished.
Mr. Lu suddenly called: "Don't turn off the lights." ”
Listening to this sound in my ears, I felt my scalp start to tingle in circles. What is the origin of the other party, and how can it scare Mr. Lu like this?
I suddenly began to rejoice now, glad that Mr. Lu did not tell me about the matter here. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be scared by now.
The lights are getting smaller and weaker. I saw the flame drifting, and it was about to leave the wick. At that moment, it occurred to me that the analogy that people die like lamps go out, is really apt. If the flame is the soul of a person, and the oil lamp is the body of a person, then the moment the flame leaves the wick, isn't it the scene of the soul floating away from the **?
A few seconds later, the flame literally left the oil lamp. However, it did not go out, but floated out of thin air in the darkness, wandering back and forth in the house.
I can imagine a ghost in the room that we can't see, and he puts the flame in the palm of his hand, playing back and forth. He played with fire, but I always felt that it represented our lives.
After a while, the voice said, "You should have thought before you came that your actions would alarm the old thing." Anyway, you still haven't been able to get rid of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves. ”
Mr. Lu swore an oath: "I will definitely be able this time, I promise you." ”
The voice sneered twice and said, "You Taoist priests, you look full of confidence every time. But in the end, it was all a failure. I'm really worried that one day the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves will be angry and affect my people. ”
He paused for a moment, then said, "And I've heard that your mind doesn't seem to be on the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, but on stealing the skeleton. Last time, if it wasn't for the old thing being alarmed, I'm afraid you'd have already succeeded. And then run away, where will it matter if we live or die. ”
Mr. Lu has always been able to speak well and mess around, but at this time he was speechless.
The voice sighed and said, "Since we have an appointment." You help us get rid of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, and we'll help you get in. But now that you're doing such a broken promise, I can't believe you. ”
As soon as he had said this, the flame suspended in the air grew smaller and smaller, and it was about to be extinguished.
At this time, Mr. Lu hurriedly said: "I brought the treasure, get rid of the treasure of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave." ”
The voice rang out: "What baby? ”
Mr. Lu suddenly turned around and jumped in front of me. By the light of the fire, I saw him sweating profusely and looking at me with a wry smile.
I was terrified and whispered, "What to do?" ”
Mr. Lu didn't speak to me, but as soon as he reached out, he pulled my knife off my back.
Then he held the knife in front of him and said, "This is a once-in-a-century murderous knife, and it can kill that old thing." ”
The flame slowly drifted in front of Mr. Lu, and he seemed to be observing my knife. After a while, I heard him say, "Yes, this is a treasure." ”
Mr. Lu struck while the iron was hot and said, "So, please let us go." Let's get rid of the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and by the way, take the bones as well. ”
The voice did not reply. In the darkness, I could see the light of the fire slowly drifting back onto the oil lamp.
Mr. Lu was relieved and collapsed to the ground. He whispered, "Thank you, thank you." I will definitely live up to the trust this time. ”
There was no more sound in the room. And the three oil lamps are getting brighter and brighter. It seems that the ghost just now is gone.
As the brightness increased, I suddenly saw a lot of writing on the wall.
I cautiously leaned over. I found that it was all birthdays, dense, and I don't know how much I wrote.
I looked at it twice, and suddenly I was shocked to find that at the very end, there was actually my eight characters. Pit every tab.
I quickened my pace, walked up to Mr. Lu, pointed to the wall and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Mr. Lu wiped the sweat from his face and said, "He is very powerful, he can calculate our eight characters." ”
My eyes widened, and I pointed to the stacks of handwriting on the wall and asked, "What about the rest?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "For hundreds of years, all the Taoist priests who have come here have their eight characters here. ”
Xue Qian's voice trembled a little: "Are they all dead?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded.
I wanted to cry without tears, so I could only curse in a low voice: "Paralyzed, let you be pitted again." ”
Obviously, after the ghost left, Lu Xian's life was a lot, and he smiled at me and said, "What are you afraid of?" I didn't succeed, but I was able to get three in and three out. Isn't it still undamaged? ”
Xue Qian snorted: "The body is lost, and the face is blowing nonsense." ”
I looked around, and then cautiously asked Mr. Lu, "The person just now, are you leaving?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "The person just now is a wizard of this clan. Before his death, he advocated to deal with the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave to the end, and after being killed, he turned into a powerful ghost, and he never forgot it, wanting to get rid of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave. ”
I asked, "What does the people here have to do with the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves?" ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Lu pointed to his eyebrows: "Everyone in this clan has water ghost eggs in the center of their eyebrows. From birth, they are put in a bamboo hut and laid eggs by water spirits, and when they die, their corpses will become water ghosts. This is a constant cycle of reincarnation. ”
"In other words, the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves created monsters like water ghosts, and controlled them, and if anyone had no eggs in their eyebrows, they would soon be dragged into the water. They really wanted to escape this fate, so they wanted to ask the Taoist priest for help. It just so happened that we, the Taoist priests, wanted to get the treasures in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves. So it hit it off. They help us get in, and we help them slay demons. ”
When I heard this, I was a little anxious, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Then why do we still accept water ghost eggs?" Want to die and be a water ghost? Or do you want to be stuck here for the rest of your life? ”
Mr. Lu gently pushed me away: "On the way here, didn't I already sue you?" If you don't have this egg in your eyebrow, you can't get into here at all. The people here helped us gain an identity, just so that we could sneak into the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts. ”
I sat on the ground, my big knife in my hand, and asked with some despair, "If we fail, will someone help us remove the water ghost eggs?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I will have a method to use a steel needle to pierce the head to delay the onset of the water ghost egg, and within ten or eight years, there will be no change." ”
