Chapter 39 leads the way

"Guarding that thing?" I was stunned, "That brute?" ”

"No, it's the secret. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere's something hidden in that secret that can't be discovered by anyone else. Your father went in to guard the thing. Ghostface said.

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a slight noise behind me. Then a breeze blew behind me, and Lan's figure suddenly appeared next to me. At the same time, the black knife in his hand was raised. The blade is pointed at the Ghostface.

Before I could come back to my senses, I heard Lan coldly ask the ghost-faced man, "Who the hell are you?" ”

I couldn't figure out how things could suddenly turn like this. I asked Lan what was going on. Fat people they didn't understand either. However, when I saw Lan rushing over with a knife, he immediately rushed up and stood behind me.

"You're not the one to guard this place." Lan said.

I couldn't see the expression behind the ghostface mask, but I could still hear her voice speaking in that mouthful of phlegm: "I didn't say I was the one here to guard that secret. I was the one who promised his father to wait for Wei Cheng's arrival here after being rescued by Wei Cheng's father three years ago. Until then, his father was the one who kept the secret. I've been here for the past three years. The ghost-faced man looked at me and said, "Now that you've arrived, so have the words I should have spoken." It's time for me to go, too. Saying that, the ghost-faced man looked at Lan coldly, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Don't think I can't kill you." Lan said. The black knife in his hand didn't move away, still pointing at the Ghostface's throat. "Don't pretend, you're a woman." Lan said.

Hearing Lan say this, the ghost-faced man didn't explain again. With a roll of her throat, the woman's voice reappeared: "I don't have to hide it from you. ”

Hearing the ghost-faced man say the woman's voice, the fat man was stunned: "Hey, this ugly monster is actually a girl?" ”

Ghostface continued, "I'm only here when you arrive, my mission is complete, can I go now?" ”

"You're not the one to guard this place." Lan's black knife still refused to let go: "Say, who are you." ”

"I told you, I just—"

Before the ghost-faced man could finish speaking, Lan interrupted her: "Don't say that his father is the guardian here, it's all fake." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart what does Lan mean by this, how does she know that it is fake? After thinking about it, it suddenly remembered that Lan told me that she had been here before, and that she had seen the beast inside. Could it be that she met my father at the time, so she is so sure now? It's not impossible. Thinking about it, I nodded. Unexpectedly, Lan continued: "I am the guardian of this place. ”

As soon as Lan said this, not only me, the fat man, and He Tao were stunned.

"Damn, Sister Lan, are you the guardian here?" The fat man smacked his lips, a little stunned.

He Tao also looked at Lan: "Impossible, how come I don't know?" ”

Not to mention me. Lan has always been a very mysterious person to me. Including where she came from, why she was there for me, and why she helped me all the time. Blah blah blah, I don't understand any of that. Now Lan says he's the guardian of the mountains. Holy, what does that mean?

The ghost-faced man didn't expect Lan to say this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Your father is the group leader of the Wei family, how can he stoop here to protect this secret for He Tao and their family." Lan said. "I am the sole guardian of this secret, and no one can replace me."

Once again, the Ghostface slowly removed his mask, revealing his original appearance.

After the fat man saw it, he was stunned again: "Damn, what a girl?" ”

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back. I didn't expect it to be a miscalculation. "Ghostface said." I miscalculated this step. As she spoke, I saw her eyes closed, and her clothes were going to be killed or torn as you pleased.

Lan was not moved by her performance, and the black knife in her hand still did not let go. I looked at the Ghost-faced Man's generous and righteous appearance, and said to myself, Lan wouldn't really want to kill her, right? Thinking I was just about to stop it. But the fat man behind him pulled the corners of his clothes, signaling me not to speak now.

I was anxious to look at it, and I said that even if this ghost-faced man was not the guardian of this secret, then judging from her presence here, she would definitely know a lot of things. In case Lan doesn't catch her this time and kills her directly, damn me, then wouldn't I have to know a lot less? No, no, you can't let Lan kill her.

Thinking that my body was wrong, I flashed in front of Lan to block the ghost-faced man.

A look of surprise flashed in Ran's eyes when he saw me, not understanding why I was doing this.

"Don't kill her yet, I still have something to ask her." I say.

"Do you think the enemy will tell you the truth?" Lan looked at me.

The ghost-faced man followed me coldly, "But what if I'm not an enemy?" ”

"Then why are you here?" Lan said.

"To wait for him." From the magnitude of Lan's eye movements, I could tell that Ghostface was looking at me when she said this again.

"No way, I'm the one who has to wait for him." Lan said. "I've been the only one here for so many years, and there's no chance there will be a second."

Ghostface shook his head, "You're wrong. A lot has happened since you came here. Your people are almost dead. In order to be able to give Wei Cheng access to that secret smoothly, your people have entrusted this task to us. Let us guide him. ”

When I heard the word "guidance", I was stunned. The heart said that I depend, could it be that Chenglan is my so-called guide? After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

Since I rescued Lan under the Thousand Coffin Plank Road, almost every action I have taken has been carried out after Lan told me what to do. I didn't have the time to decide what to do for myself. Oh, no. I've made my own decisions. But every time a decision is made, Lan always disappears strangely. And this disappearance, could it be that Lan is going to destroy the decision I made, and once again guide me to the path she wants me to take? Damn, it seems like it's really in the past.

Thinking about it, I looked at Lan and asked her, "Are you the guide?" ”

I thought Lan would deny it. Unexpectedly, Lan nodded. My heart that had been filled with anger immediately softened.

"What about you"

I was about to ask again, but Lan didn't give me a chance, saying, "Almost every decision you make is wrong. Bad decisions make you deviate from the path you are leading every time. All I need to do is bring you back from the wrong route once again. ”

I had mixed feelings when I heard it. I want to say something, but I don't know where to start. After holding it for a while, his face turned red. Finally, he sighed and shook his head.

"Your mission is complete, and it's up to me to do the rest." Ghostface said.

A hint of loneliness flashed in Lan's eyes, and the black knife that had been slowly put down suddenly rose again: "Why should I believe you." ”

"Believe it or not, just go back and take a look. What happened to your people after you came here is enough for you to deal with for decades. They simply didn't have the energy to take care of the Wei family's affairs anymore. At this point, I suddenly felt the Ghostface tap me on the shoulder, and then continued, "It may be too late for you to go back now." As for him, I can take care of it for you. ”

Lan still looked at the ghost-faced man coldly: "Don't worry about it." ”

"Don't you want to go back and see your people?" The Ghostface laughed "huh".

Lan didn't speak, his face expressionless.

"What about your master?" The ghost-faced man asked again.

Hearing the word "Master", Lan's eyes froze, but he immediately returned to his original appearance.

"Forget it." Ghostface said. "Since you're so insistent, then I can't say anything. Then you just go ahead. I'll go back first. With that, the Ghostface reached out and pressed my shoulder, turning me around to face her.

"Young man, my sister reminds you. Now that you have been led to the Tao, don't think about the consequences. Just move on. ”

I looked at the woman in front of me, who was not much older than me, and was not even older than me, and I was a little stunned. As she turned to leave, I remembered to ask her something.

"Hey," I shouted. She stopped, turned and looked at me with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

I was so stunned by her joke that I couldn't remember what I wanted to ask. After being stunned for a long time, he asked, "Why did you lie to me?" ”

She: "Huh? He said he didn't understand.

"Lan is the guardian here. But why do you say that my father was once the guardian of this place? Also, why are you lying to me? ”

She smiled, looked at me, and said, "You may be the last killer in the Eight Elements." I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked. "What's the last killer feature? I'm just a thief, didn't the other seven doors also send their own heirs back then? ”

Ghostface shook his head, "None of this is something you can be a part of right now. If you want to know, go into this secret. She pointed to the forest beyond the cave and continued, "Once you're inside, you'll find that it's not as simple as you think. It's even more complicated. Then you will understand why the people around you are lying to you. With that, she turned around and walked out of the cave.

"When the time comes, I'll understand, why are the people around me lying to me?" I repeated her last words, and immediately looked at Lan and the fat man.

"You're lying to me, too?"

The fat man scratched his neck and looked up at the holes around him: "It's a little cold, go back to the fire." ”

He Tao looked at the fat man and then at me: "Are you hungry, I saw a lot of food in the back just now." As he spoke, he followed the fat man and walked away.

Lan was left standing in front of me.

I thought Ran would explain something to me. Not really. Lan turned and sat down by the fire.

"Is that what you did to me?" I screamed. Except for Lan, He Tao and the fat man all stopped to look at me. But after taking a look, they all lowered their heads again.

No one slept well that night. Except for the fat guys.

Sometimes I really want to be like a fat man, living a heartless life. Even if it's a quarrel, the gourd can still fight at night.

I was lying on the ground with leaves and weeds underneath me. Lan slept right next to me. Silently, not even a little breathing. If it weren't for the fact that Lan was vigilant, I would have even suspected that she had died suddenly.

Rolled over and couldn't sleep. I turned over again, but I still couldn't sleep. After a few back and forth, the leaves and weeds beneath me had been squeezed apart. The icy ground remained.

I shuddered, sighed inwardly, and prepared to get up and put these things together again. But before I could get up, Lan hugged me.

"Sleep." Lan said.

I was stunned, and I didn't realize what was going on in my head. But my heart was beating like a hormone.

"Okay." I lay down. only to find that Lan moved to her side. Even I was pulled over.

"It's cold on the ground." Lan said.

Nothing was said all night. I couldn't tell if I was asleep or not. It's just confused, it's dawn.

When I woke up in the morning, the bonfire at the entrance of the cave had been extinguished. The rest of the charcoal fire was still billowing green smoke.

I glanced at Mike, who was still tied up in the corner, and my heart softened. He took him by the rope and brought him to the fire, and let him roast it. It was freezing all night, and he didn't sleep well. Deep-set eye sockets, messy hair, frozen purple lips. When I looked at it, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Don't look away, I found that the fat man and He Tao were gone. Lan was the only one sitting by the fire.

"They're going to camp to get something." Lan said.

I nodded and didn't speak. He took a handful of leaves from under his buttocks and pressed them against the charcoal fire, and blew them to blow the fire. Then he took a few more branches and threw them in.

When the fire was blazing, the fat men had already returned.

"This cave is really far from our camp." The fat man muttered. He carried three bags on his back and two guns on his shoulders. But he's dead.

I silently went up and took his things and put them on the ground, then took the cooking utensils out of my bag and began to cook and eat. The fat man looked at me and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. With a butt squeezing Mike aside, he sat down and started the fire.

It didn't take long for breakfast to cook. Each person divided a bowl and began to eat. After eating, I cleaned up for a while. Finally, before leaving, Lan stood at the entrance of the cave and took a look inside.

"Let's go. I'm here, so you don't have to eat and sleep here in the future. I looked at her and said. (To be continued.) )
