Chapter 33: Millennials
I had a bad feeling in my heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these kinds of things don't seem to be as simple as I thought, they may not be corpse cocoons at all, but something beyond my cognition, and even a monk has never been.
However, the monk has always been nervous, and he rarely makes a fuss about such things. And the guards didn't say anything, so maybe I was really worried.
But I didn't go far before I realized again that there was something wrong with the corpses. This time it wasn't just me, even the monks noticed it.
The monk glanced around, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Did you notice that something doesn't seem right with these cocoons, what's in them?"
The guard stared at the corpse cocoon, shook his head thoughtfully, and said, "No, they are decaying. ”
"Metamorphosis? What do you mean? "How many people didn't understand what the guards were talking about?
He continued: "Have you ever seen a cocoon transformed into a butterfly? ”
The guard's tone was mysterious. I couldn't react at first, I didn't understand what he meant. But after muttering a few words in my heart, I suddenly understood what he meant. Suddenly my scalp tingled, and a terrifying scene came to my mind, and the fear that seeped into my hair almost suffocated me.
"You mean, these corpses are metamorphosing? Like a chrysalis? ”
The guard nodded, "It won't be long before they come out of it." When the time comes, there will only be a shell left. ”
The monk's cold sweat came down, but he still couldn't believe it, so he asked, "Why have I never heard of such a thing?" I've seen this kind of corpse cocoon before. ”
"That's not a cocoon at all. Besides, this kind of jade was not meant to be used by people in the first place. ”
"And what is the result of these corpses? Coming back from the dead? Or does it turn into another... Monster? ”
I stared at the guard, lest he shake his head and say he didn't know. The guard didn't have any expression on his face, and he said slowly, "I don't know the results, I just know that those people call them 'millennials'." ”
"Millennials?"
I'm not sure if he said those words, but he didn't give me a chance to ask any more. As we continued on, the holes in the rock face became denser and denser. Strictly speaking, there are two types of caves: corpse caves and treasure pavilions. And then the situation, as the guards said, the corpses in the corpse cocoon are undergoing different degrees of degeneration. Some have even completed their metamorphosis, and a large hole has been broken in the cocoon, leaving only a corpse shell inside.
The monk probably saw this kind of thing for the first time, his face turned pale, and his mouth kept chanting Amitabha. And I barely have the courage to lift my legs, this kind of thing has exceeded the bottom line I can bear, I am like a taut string, any wind and grass can break me. I only have one thought in my mind right now, and that is to get out of here right away and go back to normal life. This kind of thing is so evil that the hell knows what kind of monster the "millennial" is.
"You say, 'Where did the millennial man go, when he came out of the cocoon? Is it possible.."
Before the monk finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to the front and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up!" That's one! Chase fast.. Chase! ”
Before I could hear what was going on, the guards were already in pursuit.
"What are you doing in a daze? There's one ahead, chase it! The monk pushed me forward. But in fact, this place is much narrower than before, and we are clinging to the rock wall, and the speed cannot go up at all. Soon, we were lost. All I could see was a dark shadow moving up and down in front of us.
"Monk, do you see clearly? Are you sure that's a millennial? "I just couldn't catch up, so I just stopped.
The monk gasped and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" What else could there be here besides a few of us? Yes, it's really fast. Otherwise, I'll have to catch it and see what kind of monster it is. ”
I gasped a few times and asked him, "Are you okay?" The guards are still ahead, and we have to catch up with him. ”
The monk said: "Lao Tzu is most annoyed by others asking me if I can do it, so don't talk about my mother's nonsense, and continue to chase." "Master and I continued to chase forward, but the monk moved more and more slowly as his surroundings became narrower and narrower. The guard was not far ahead, and it seemed that he had lost it.
The monk followed from behind, and when he saw the guards, he asked, "Didn't catch up?" "I mean, isn't that obvious? That guy is running fast with a rabbit, who can catch up.
Monk Dao, what are you still doing in a daze? Keep chasing. The guard pointed to the rock wall in front of me, and when I squinted, I saw that there was an unknown vine growing on the rock wall, and on the vine hung many wild fruit-like things, very bright. Could it be some rare fruit? I took another closer look, and saw that the fruit-like thing on the vine shook a few times, revealing its wings. When I reacted to this, the red one was not a fruit at all, but the kind of monster that almost wiped out the fourth and their army.
I was covered in hairs that stood on end, and my heart said so much, this time it was over. The monk obviously recognized this kind of monster, and after he saw it clearly, his face turned pale, he swallowed hard, and scolded in a low voice: "It's really not that the enemy doesn't get together, damn it, I ran into it again." ”
Several people were stunned in place and didn't dare to move, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while. I never expected this monster to become our biggest obstacle. It's a small space, and if they wake up, there's little chance we'll survive. And there is also the most direct problem, more than an hour has passed since I just came in, and I can clearly feel that the surroundings are much narrower. The monk was struggling to walk, and now he could only move sideways forward.
"What should I do?" We are now in a dilemma, we must not be able to afford anything on the vines, even the guards frowned.
"There's no time, I have to go back right away."
The monk looked unwilling, but said helplessly: "Lao Tzu lost a lot of money this time, he didn't catch anything, and he almost lost his life." ”
I said you don't talk nonsense, is money or life important? Hurry up and get out now, wait a little while and you'll get stuck inside, and we'll all have to follow you unlucky.
The monk took one last look, sighed, and beckoned us to begin walking back. I turned my head to find that the guards had no intention of going with us.
"You're not coming with us?"
The guard looked at me and shook his head slightly, his face very calm.
I thought to myself how to do this, and I wanted to go and pull him. The guard suddenly said, "Goodbye." With that, he turned his head and began to squeeze deeper into the crevice.
"You wait.." I was about to go over and pull him, but Master grabbed me.
"Let him go, he doesn't have a choice."
By this time, the guards had already squeezed under the vines, and to my puzzlement, the monsters lying on the vines were not awakened. At the same time, I smelled the smell again.
Watching the guard quickly disappear into the darkness, I don't understand what he's going to do? Even if he found the tomb of the Lu Clan, how would he come out at that time? At this time, the monk's shout came from a distance. I turned my head to see that the monk had already walked far back. I scolded this unconscionable guy in my heart, and left us and ran away. The space around us was getting smaller and smaller, and Master and I hurriedly began to walk back.
Soon, I saw the monk in front of me. Looks like he's stuck, let's give him a push. He asked us what was the ink behind us? I said see people off.
When the monk heard me say this, he glanced behind me and asked me where the man was? When I said that, don't ask questions, go out first.
The monk was a wise man, and after reciting a sentence of Amitabha, he began to move out with difficulty. He's been tortured in this place with only half his life left, and there are places where I have to push him in the back to get through.
Cassia shouted in the distance. Finally, half an hour later, the three of us escaped from the crevice in the rock. The monk's face was cut and swollen by the edges and corners, and his face was blue and purple, which looked very funny. But Master and I are not much better than him.
"What's wrong with just the three of you? What about the kid? "After Cassia pulled us out, he realized that there was one person missing.
The monk sat paralyzed next to Da Ding, and said weakly: "Don't mention it, if you can come back alive, you will be blessed by the Bodhisattva." Is there water? Bring me some, my throat is about to smoke. ”
Cassia tosses the hydration bag at him. The monk took a few puffs before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"What's going on inside? Why are you only coming out now? ”
As soon as Cassia finished speaking, I felt a violent shaking behind me, and at the same time I heard an extremely dull loud noise. When I turned my head to look, the cracks in the rock wall had completely disappeared with the loud noise. I looked in the direction of the crack and couldn't tell what it was like. The tomb of the Lu clan must be behind the rock crevice, and if we had come a day earlier, the ending would definitely not be the way it is now.
I roughly told Cassia what I saw inside, and when Cassia heard the end, he asked.
"So what's next? Are we here waiting for him to come out? ”
The master said that the entrance had been sealed, and that he must have come out from somewhere else. Besides, it's not that safe here, so we'll have to find a way to get out.
The monk had enough gasp, so he took out the half of the plan map from his arms, compared it for a long time, and really let him find a possible passage to the outside.
Without further ado, a few of us immediately got into action. According to the clues on the plan, we need to return to the Chengtian Shrine and then climb to the topmost Shrine. Less than a few feet high from the top altar, there is a secret stone path. This stone path takes us around the Temple of Heaven from below and leads to the labyrinth. And now we have a plan in hand, and the maze won't take two hours to get out. After passing through the labyrinth, we returned to the underground river we saw at that time.
Along the way, we went smoothly and did not encounter any obstacles. About four hours later, the group returned to the Han-Chinese stone arch bridge where they had met Hump Laosi. When I walked on the arched bridge, I was thinking that if we hadn't saved the fourth child in the first place, then everything that followed might not have happened, and the fourth child might not have died here. But if it weren't for the fourth, I'm afraid we would still be spinning in the maze now.
In the dark, everything seems to be accidental, but in fact, it is a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed.
