Chapter Seventy-Five: Serpentine Creature
During this time, the second grandfather has been regretting what happened when he went out, and he thinks that without those things at that time, nothing would have happened now.
How could Jiang Li not understand the meaning of what he said, he called the second grandfather aside and said a few words, gave the second grandfather some things, and then came back and said to his uncle, "Let's go." ”
It's really a little reluctant to leave this place where I was born and raised, and there is a second grandfather here who is in his last years.
But this is something that Jiang Li nodded and agreed, and I have no room to refuse.
Because my mother was bought back by my grandparents, my grandparents were afraid that my mother would run back, so they specially chose a place far away, and my mother's hometown is not the same township as us. The road used to be even farther than into the city, and we walked all day on the road to get there.
At the beginning, my grandparents agreed to sell my mother, and it can be inferred from this behavior that their family is not in any rich place, and sure enough, it is also a small mountain village.
I thought that my uncle would take me over with all his words, and this place would be better than our village.
But when I arrived in this village, I was stunned.
The village is in a mountain col, there are only three families in total, and the land here is not yellow, but black, but the roads here are much better than ours.
When my uncle saw me looking at the land, he said, "There used to be a black coal mine here, and there were a lot of people, but there was no coal in the cave, and the people were almost gone, and now there are only three families left to live here, and after a while, the other two families will also have to move out." I'm also looking for a new place for your grandparents and them, so it's good that you can add some popularity to this place. ”
When his uncle said this, the Wandering Corpse King looked around, and when he finished speaking, the Wandering Corpse King pointed to a dark hole in the col and asked, "Is that the mine you are talking about?" ”
Uncle sighed: "Yes." ”
The Wandering Corpse King immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Li. Then he said with a flattering face: "Can you accompany others to go in and have a look?" ”
Jiang Li responded lukewarmly: "Go by yourself." ”
The Wandering Corpse King sighed, this time he didn't entangle Jiang Li too much, and went directly to the mine, his uncle didn't know if the Wandering Corpse King was born, so he just thought she was a little girl and stopped her immediately. It is said that no one has entered the mine for a long time, and that it may collapse at any time.
However, the Wandering Corpse King was running so fast that he probably didn't hear his uncle's shouts at all.
Uncle was worried that something would happen to the Wandering Corpse King, so he followed the Wandering Corpse King, and let us go to my grandparents' house first.
After his uncle left, Jiang Li looked at the village again, looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go into the house, I've been busy these days." ”
Every time Jiang Li said this, I knew that something bad would happen, and I was busy asking him what was going on, Jiang Li had nothing to hide from me, looked at me and smiled: "Do you really think this person is your uncle?" After all these years, if he really wanted to come to your mother, he would have come over a long time ago, and promised him to come with him, just to see what he wanted to do. In addition, the village is lifeless, and it is clearly a place of death, not a place for the living. ”
I looked at this village and felt nothing else, but Jiang Li said this, and when I looked at the direction of my uncle's departure and the black mine, I felt a little weird.
Jiang Li urged me to enter the house and follow the road. When he came to the door of the mud house, he saw the people inside.
Two gray-haired old men sat in the room, and when they saw Jiang Li and I standing at the door, they immediately stood up and asked, "Is it Chen Xiao?" ”
I said yes.
Then the two of them came over quickly, one of them hugged me, and the other hugged Jiang Li, and then they cried loudly.
This cry didn't look like tweezers at all, and even Jiang Li's face was full of surprise.
The two old men cried and shouted: "For so many years, I haven't seen anyone dead or dead, you can count it as coming, this is also Wu Fei's son, right?" ”
The person who might be my grandmother hugged Jiang Li for a while, and then held Jiang Li's face and asked kindly.
Before Jiang Li could speak, my grandfather said: "She hasn't been married for so many years, how can it be, nonsense." ”
Grandma smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Li was also a little embarrassed, and said, "I am Chen Xiao's master, bring him over to see the second elder." ”
Hearing that he was my master, their faces began to change: "People from the Chen family? ”
Jiang Li hesitated, and then sighed.
Jiang Li's nod of acknowledgement made the faces of the two old men change suddenly, and the enthusiasm just now completely disappeared, but he looked at me again, showed a kind smile again, and replaced the stiffness of his face before. Invited us into the house.
The room was deserted and there was very little furniture, but there were a lot of stools and chairs in the room, and most importantly, there was a TV in one corner of the room.
Our village is relatively backward, and there used to be a black and white TV in the village. After the villagers finished their farm work, if they were not tired, they would go to the villagers' houses with TVs to watch TV.
I'm still young, and I rarely have any of these things to entertain me, and I can't take my eyes off the TV when I see it.
My grandparents were extremely happy, and when they sat down, they were at a loss, and they were really happy to see how they looked.
I was a little skeptical of Jiang Li's words, he said that this place is not inhabited by living people, is it true?
However, when my grandfather saw that I was looking at the TV in the corner and didn't take my eyes off, he smiled and said, "It's been broken for many years, and I haven't repaired it, and I can't open it." ”
I was a little disappointed.
Jiang Li patted me on the head and told me to concentrate on talking to my grandparents.
There are only a few topics to talk about, either about my mother or about me.
I told my uncle about my mother, but I didn't dare them say it, so I made up a few lies at random. They also believed it and learned that we had been on the road for a day today, and brought us water to wash our faces, how enthusiastic and enthusiastic we were.
Because when we got here, it was already dusk, and we talked for a while. There was no light outside, and my grandparents began to worry about my uncle.
Jiang Li volunteered: "I'll go find them, it's so late, don't have an accident." ”
Jiang Li stood up, and I stood up too.
My grandparents said, "Chen Xiao, are you going too?" ”
Jiang Li smiled: "He has been by my side for a long time, and he can't do without me for half a step, just let him follow, nothing will happen with me." ”
My grandparents let me go, but because I was too worried, I wanted to go with us, and I was persuaded by Jiang Li.
My grandparents didn't have a flashlight, so we just lit a torch and went to the mine.
Out of the house. Jiang Li looked back, and then said, "It's likely that they are really grandparents." ”
"But didn't you say this is not a place for the living?" I asked him.
Jiang Li said: "Although they may really be your grandparents, I didn't say that they would be living people, the cracks of that TV are full of dust, and it is clear that it has not been used for several years, and ordinary living people live in such a remote place." It's impossible not to even have a flashlight. ”
I thought about it, and it really was.
Jiang Li also said: "In the "Tianzang", it was recorded that there was a creature called 'Wangjin Woman', at that time, the Shang and Zhou wars were raging, most of the men were sent to the battlefield, and few of the people who went to the battlefield came back alive, plus the human life at that time was like a mustard, and no one would know about the dead, but the wives of their families would wait for them to come back until they also died. ”
"And then?"
Many of these women died without even knowing that they were dead. They have only one thought, and that is to wait for their man to come back, or to find their man. At that time, the battlefield was in a place called 'Tsu', so even if these women died, they would always look in the direction of Tsu, or they would keep walking in the direction of Tsu, and they would not react until someone told them that they were dead. So at that time, it was common to see some women walking in the direction of Jin with their eyes blank. Some women are still walking until their legs are polished. They won't stop until they're completely polished, or they're told the truth. When Jiang Shang later sorted out "Tianzang", he called this creature between the living and the dead 'Wangjin woman', and your grandparents were also this creature. ”
I listened to these words. His nose was a little sour.
Sympathizing not only with the women, but also with the grandparents who were guarding the house, they felt really uncomfortable, so they said, "Then we won't tell them that they are dead, so that they can live forever." ”
Jiang Li smiled: "If you have been wandering in the world for a long time. It will become intolerable, and then there will be no chance to be reincarnated as a human being. ”
I said yes, I understood what Jiang Li meant, and he still decided to find a time to tell his grandparents about their deaths.
Although I am related to my grandparents, this is the first time we have met, and I don't have such a deep relationship, so it is not difficult to accept it.
Walking with torches for a while, he came to the mouth of the mine.
When we stopped at the entrance of the mine, I immediately took a few steps back and said, "It's so hot." ”
Jiang Li's expression was a little serious, and he said: "If it is really a coal mine cave, it should be warm in winter and cool in summer, and now it is almost summer, and the ground air coming out of this cave should be cool, this mine is not simple." ”
When Jiang Li was talking to me, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the mine, followed by a wave of heat. Jiang Li and I took a few steps back.
This heat wave is very fierce, if Jiang Li hadn't grabbed me by the hand, I would have even been swept away by this air wave.
"What's going on?" I hurriedly asked.
Jiang Li looked inside for a while, then smiled and said, "There was an explosion inside, someone wanted to kill the Wandering Corpse King in the mine, but he was going to be disappointed." ”
The Wandering Corpse King's origin is known to me and Jiang Li. Don't look at her usual smile and harmless appearance, but in fact she is a guy who has been imprisoned for 3,000 years and has not died.
If someone wants to use this mine to harm her, they are really using the wrong method.
However, only my uncle went to find the Wandering Corpse King, and there was no one else in the village, except my uncle. I can't really guess who wanted to kill the Zombie King.
"Someone came out." Before I could think about it, Jiang Li suddenly said something, and then immediately extinguished the torch and dragged me into the forest next to me.
Less than a minute after we arrived, a huge fox covered in fiery red came out of the mine.
When I came out, I was completely stunned.
As soon as the fox came out, it rolled around. Because of its body, there is an extremely thick snake-like creature entangled.
I've seen snakes, but I've never seen them that big, and snakes are generally smooth, but this one, covered with ugly scales, looks like a snake, but it's not a snake at all.
The serpentine creature and the red fox were entangled, and the two sides were inseparable.
There is no doubt that the red fox is the Wandering Corpse King.
However, the Wandering Corpse King is also a three-thousand-year-old creature, although it was entangled for a while, but soon the Wandering Corpse King gained the upper hand.
Jiang Li raised his hand and said, "I have to help." ”
After speaking, he silently recited the spell of the nailhead seven arrows spell, and after they finished chanting, a wisp of clear qi floated out of the red fox's body and fell into Jiang Li's hand.
I'm a little stunned, why is he messing with the Corpse King's clear air?
Jiang Li didn't tell me so much, he kept watching the movement over there, and at this time, the serpentine creature's huge tail swept directly towards the body of the Wandering Corpse King.
Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately clenched his hands!
The Wandering Corpse King was in a trance, and was directly thrown out by the serpentine creature, and fell to the ground fiercely, without moving.
I was very puzzled, I didn't know why Jiang Li wanted to harm the Wandering Corpse King.
Jiang Li asked me to continue watching, and after a while, the serpentine creature directly dragged the fox into the hole, and after about five minutes, the heat wave in the cave became more obvious, and it was easy to tell that the coal inside was burning.
Before we could save the Wandering Corpse King, a man came out of the mine, and it was my uncle who went to pick us up!
