Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gap (7)
At the moment when the hospital was transformed, Xia Beifeng and Xia Yi were watching the ghost king come out of the door of the operating room...... Or it's more appropriate to cross out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's how he walked in front of them before. even passed through Xia Beifeng's arm, but he didn't notice it, no matter how they danced and shouted, they just didn't see it.
"Is he a lobster?"
Xia Beifeng watched the Ghost King turn around and walk up the stairs, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Maybe it's really invisible."
Xia Yi sighed and sat on the ground: "I remember that Yun Ze seems to have this kind of means, and no matter how much trouble is turned upside down across a wall, others can't hear it." Speaking of which, he also made a lot of interesting things at the beginning, but unfortunately they were not used in the right path. ”
"I seem to have an impression when you say that."
Xia Beifeng touched his chin, looked up at the rapidly fading ceiling above his head, and sighed slowly: "Those singers he raised are really ......"
After the ghost king went upstairs, the sound of tricks above his head was endless.
There were screams, there were roars, and the sound of stones falling to the ground as the house collapsed.
One by one, the lamps hanging from the ceiling shattered, revealing ghostly fires floating inside, scattered along the cracks in the cracked walls.
The brightly lit hospital was transformed by the violent tremors.
"Yo, here's ......"
Xia Beifeng looked around and landed his gaze on a row of quaint and rough statues.
"Their ancestral temple?"
"Looks a bit like ......"
Xia Yi was halfway through his words, when he suddenly turned his head and showed a meaningful smile: "Their ancestral temple should not be allowed to outsiders, you can know it at a glance." ”
"There's always a way to get in."
Xia Beifeng glanced at him: "Didn't you also say that it looked a bit like?" ”
Forget it, I always feel that if you continue this topic, everyone may be hurt a lot.
Xia Yi coughed twice and turned his head away with an embarrassed expression. Don't dwell on the matter of "what does the ancestral temple of the Yunze family look like".
"What do you think he did up there?"
He pointed to the top of his head, which was pitch black: "I remember that there are also everlasting lights in their ancestral temple, what is the situation now." ”
"Chang Minglan ran away with someone."
Xia Beifeng sighed and reached out to touch the wall beside him.
The white walls, which used to be smooth and flat, have been turned into rough walls made of mud and stones. When I reached out and touched it, I could feel the violent tremor coming from the wall, and with a little force, the dust and dirt covering the wall fell.
"Aren't the so-called ever-bright lanterns all a group of lonely ghosts trapped? They guard the ancestral temple, and usually seem to be used for lighting, etc., but once outsiders enter, they will attack it in groups. If the man runs away, they will follow for some distance until the intruder has been evicted and then float back, showing off their majesty along the way. So it's especially easy to be lured out and killed like now. ”
As he spoke, the surrounding light became more and more dim, and soon he reached the point where he could not see his fingers.
Xia Beifeng rubbed the dust on the wall, and saw that the outlines of the windows in front of him disappeared into the darkness, and turned back helplessly.
There were two faint blue dots of light floating behind him, which flashed the moment he turned his head.
What is it?
He subconsciously pulled out ~ the knife and stretched forward.
It was only when the attack was blocked that he realized what was lit up.
"What are you going to do!"
Xia Yi let go of his hand, and couldn't help but doubt this person's motive: "Could it be that my patience with me has finally reached the limit, and Xiang took advantage of the chaos to kill me?" I've said that this kind of mortal iron can't do anything to me, why don't you believe it? ”
Those were Xia Yi's eyes.
"I say, did you know what your eyes looked like at night?"
Xia Beifeng shook his sleeves and threw out the black dragon wrapped around his arm: "Brother, borrow a fire." ”
"I guess I know, it's a little scary."
The moment the fire lit, Xia Beifeng saw the people around him touching his nose and laughing.
He lit a cigarette with the flames of Feiyan's spit, and leisurely observed where they stood.
Behind him was a broken wall, the huge hole in the wall was probably the window I had just seen, and the outside was a sea of fire.
In front of him were more than a dozen clay statues, and their vague and abstract facial features showed a bit of weirdness and evil under the firelight. It's as if a group of ghosts are watching them with bad intentions, and at some point they will rush up and tear them to pieces as prey.
The ground trembled beneath his feet, and in the endless darkness overhead, there were sounds of fighting and scolding.
"It's Hongyuan who is scolding, it seems that he is still on top, and there is nothing wrong."
The scorching flames leaped past the broken holes in the walls and leaped at their feet. Xia Yi searched for this place he had been here in his memory, pushing Xia Beifeng's back and urging him not to continue to stand stupidly here.
"When are you still in the mood to smoke, it will be bad if the wall collapses and you are stoned to death."
Before they could finish speaking, the statue beside them collapsed.
"The wall hasn't fallen yet, but the ancestors have fallen first. Lord Yunze, you're going to finish! ”
Xia Beifeng carried the black dragon as a lantern in his hand, and after shouting at the top of his head in a strange way, he followed Xia Yi's back and fled frantically in a dark place, avoiding the statues that kept collapsing behind him.
From time to time, round stones roll under your feet, and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of the features carved in the stone. At such a moment, it seemed that the blue-faced fanged statues had a menacing look on their faces as they rolled to the ground.
"Yun Ze made other people into stone carvings for insects as reserve food. Now that his ancestral temple has collapsed like this, his ancestors have been torn apart, which should be regarded as retribution. ”
Xia Beifeng kicked away a head that rolled in front of him, and vaguely felt that after running for a while, the surroundings seemed to be much brighter. When he looked back, he saw that the head that had just been kicked out rolled into the sea of fire behind him along the firelight, and he couldn't help but fold his hands and bow to it.
In the blink of an eye, the fire outside had spread to the temple, and it was rushing towards them with teeth and claws.
So fast!
He opened his mouth in surprise, took a deep breath, turned around and continued to escape, and his mouth did not forget to say: "Can you old people show mercy." These bullshit things were all done by your unscrupulous descendant Yunze, but don't take the grudge against me! ”
"I can't say for sure. If this group of things really has a spirit in the sky, it is estimated that they will be as protective as the old things in their house. Maybe if you kick him today, they'll be playing with you in their dreams every day. ”
"If it's ...... like you say"
Xia Beifeng turned his head and said triumphantly as he ran: "The one I just kicked away was a beautiful woman, and it seems that it is not bad if you really come to find me in your dream." ”
"You have to think about the age gap, too."
Xia Yi followed him leisurely like a walk, but he never fell behind too much. At this time, he was about to make a mockery, but he suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute, I just seem to see ......"
Xia Beifeng turned around, pushed away Xia Yi, who was standing in front of him, and walked in the direction they came.
"Something flew in from outside."
"Hey, you don't want to die!"
Xia Yi shouted, stretched out his hand to hold him, but only touched ~ a corner of his clothes.
The man had strode into the fire.
The leaping flames rushed to his side, but they could not hurt his body. Although Xia Beifeng walked in the fire, he didn't feel the heat he felt when he was chased by the flames, but there was a few cool winds blowing from his side.
Since something flew in just now, it seems to have fallen to the ground if you read it correctly, so it proves ......
"This fire is fake."
He glanced down at the undamaged clothes, turned back to Xia Yi and said, "It is estimated that it is a trick." ”
"Tricks? A trick that I can't even see? ”
Xia Yi stretched out his hand forward in surprise, pressed against the edge of the flame, and closed his eyes.
The heat was so hot that he could even feel an inexplicable fear of fire that existed in the nature of beasts.
This is also the reason why he subconsciously wants to stay away from the flames.
After this reminder, he realized that all he could feel in this flame was heat, and the stinging sensation that should have been felt when approaching the flame had never come.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xia Beifeng, who was in the midst of the fire, squatting on the ground and picking up something like no one.
What I just saw next to the bed was definitely a fire, or a fire that I couldn't control, how could it be fake now? When is it......
Xia Yi thought suspiciously, and stretched his whole hand into the flames.
Sure enough, it didn't hurt.
"Xiaotian's lighter."
Xia Beifeng raised his hand at him.
A square piece of metal shimmered silver in his hand, bright in the light of the fire.
"Lighters?"
Xia Yi asked suspiciously, "Why is this thing here?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's Yun Ze who made the bait to deceive us."
Xia Beifeng said and stood up: "No matter what, try it first, this thing won't explode when you press it." ”
The moment the lighter spat out the flames, the flames around them suddenly dissipated cleanly.
Everything returned to darkness, and the shattered silhouette of the sculpture behind it was illuminated by the firelight, but there was no facial expression that had been seen before.
Without a bit of verve, they're just a bunch of clay stones that no one wants.
Xia Yi blinked.
At the moment when Xia Beifeng picked up the lighter, he vaguely felt that something in the darkness that had been peeping at them disappeared.
Shen Luotian stood not far in front of him, staring at Xia Beifeng who was holding a lighter.
Is it already another place?
He thought secretly, and followed Xia Beifeng out of the hole in the wall.
The butterfly, which had been quiet on her wrist for a long time, suddenly flapped its wings twice, and a subtle itch caught his attention.
"What's wrong?"
He lowered his head and asked Lu Rao, but saw that the butterfly shook out a little green firefly and floated forward with the wind.
"Be quiet and don't disturb them."
He came up with such a message from the movement of the butterfly's wings.
Looking in the direction of the fireflies, you can see the figure that Xia Beifeng is also staring at.
"Xia Bailu."
The name swirled around his lips and was swallowed back.
Xia Yi looked at the three people who were speechless, and couldn't help but take a step back.
At this time, they should not say anything, and silently give them the land to complain to each other.
Thinking so, he stood against the crumbling stone wall behind him, trying to blend himself into the backdrop.
The gray ash above his head kept falling, looking like a flock of gray butterflies dancing a dance of death, happily hovering beside the long-dead woman.
The flames above his head became lower and lower, and when his feet shook violently, there was a roaring thunder.
"Shouldn't you go?"
Xia Bailu was looking up at the sky, and there seemed to be a glitter of water in her eyes: "You can go up from there, you know." ”
Xia Beifeng looked up with her, and saw the figure above her through the paper ashes flying in the sky and the smoke billowing flames.
The voices of many people weeping and shouting came from overhead, and all kinds of timbres and languages merged together to form a buzzing noise.
Although I couldn't hear what the people above my head were saying, I could easily feel the sadness contained in it~.
"Well, it's time to go."
Shen Luotian looked up at the flames that were already close at hand, and his half-stretched hand suddenly put down again.
"But let's wait. Anyway, you can always go, and I'm not in a hurry at this time. ”
Xia Beifeng let out a meaningful "oh", turned his head to stare at his side face, trying to see something from his expressionless face: "Now I don't say I'm in a hurry, you didn't ...... before"
"Shut up, you."
Shen Luotian stomped his foot and motioned for him to look at the ground under his feet that was shaking more and more violently: "I'm just waiting for something below to come up." That guy is not very reliable in doing things, and I am not at ease if I don't stare at the end. ”
"What that guy, isn't that you?"
Xia Beifeng smiled triumphantly: "Or do you also know that you are unreliable?" ”
"I at least know that I am unreliable, I can't compare to you, and I don't know anything about my unreliability."
Shen Luotian took a step back, making room for the collapse of the building in front of him.
Gravel and mud fell with a clatter, smashing on the ground, blowing up paper ashes all over the ground.
A black figure stepped out of the dusty ruins, the wide corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind, and the long sword in his hand flashed with red light.
(There should be an appearance BGM here)
"Solved?"
Shen Luotian crossed his arms and asked the Ghost King.
"Pretty much."
The Ghost King nodded, shook off the blood stains on the blade, and plunged it into the ground: "There is one left." ”
The sword sank into the thick layer of paper ash, leaving only a short hilt.
A black liquid oozed through the gap where the blade met the ground.
At first it was just a few drops of water, soaking ~wetting~ the surrounding conductor. Soon it became a small stream of water......
Then they heard the earth shattering beneath their feet.
"Speaking of which, we also want to thank Yun Ze."
At the same time as the ghost king pulled out ~ the long sword, a column of water gushed out of the sword marks like a fountain~ and rushed into the air.
"Ouch!"
He took two quick steps back, dodging the current.
"Although not out of his intention. But we have made such a large area here, and it is just right for us to use it as a reservoir. ”
The pile of paper ash under his feet turned into pitch black when wet with water droplets, and then a green flame ignited.
"Get out of the way."
Xia Yi raised his hand and summoned the wind wall to block a few people: "If this thing is stained, it really doesn't even have a chance to live again." ”
After the temple collapsed, the tremors under his feet not only did not disappear, but became more and more violent, as if something huge was brewing underneath and was about to rush out. With the gushing of "groundwater" ~ out, dense cracks spread around along the holes poked out by the ghost king in the ground, forming a huge net crawling all over the ground.
"Alright."
The ghost king put away his long sword and stretched out his hand to Xia Beifeng: "Give me the key, you can get out." ”
……
Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone in his pocket, but he refused to hand it over to him.
"Do you want to wait here until the water comes up?"
The ghost king hooked his fingers at him, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and give it to me, I will return it to you when I am finished, don't rub it anymore." ”
"It's not a question of not paying it back."
Xia Beifeng threw the stone out, jumped sideways, and dodged the cracked crack in the ground under his feet: "You first say what you want this for." ”
"Of course, I can get out of here in a while."
The Ghost King took the stone, put it in the palm of his hand, and clenched his fist hard.
By the time he opened his palm again, the stone was gone. There are black lines spreading outward along the point of the palm, and a complex and mysterious pattern is drawn in his hand.
"This thing, as a key, is actually a one-time consumable. I probably won't be able to use it when I return it to you...... But it doesn't matter to you. ”
He whispered to explain the role of this "key" and looked at Xia Bailu, who was standing not far away.
The thin woman was staring at the paper ash flying above her head in a daze, stepping on ankle-length black water under her feet. Countless dark green ghost fires burned in the water, surrounding her, but they were blocked out by a barrier around her, and they could never touch her body.
"The Stygian Sea will not flow backwards for too long, I am going to use Guan Yunze's place to block it, it is better for her to stay here until then, and I will send her away when the water recedes tomorrow."
"I ......"
Xia Beifeng looked up at Xia Bailu and was about to say something, but saw her smile at this side and waved at him.
Then forget it.
He looked at the woman in his sight who was gradually becoming transparent, and sighed with mixed feelings.
"Let's go."
He pressed Shen Luotian's shoulder and stretched out his hand towards the flames that had already pressed against his head.
