The surroundings are so dark, and because of that, it gives me a very empty feeling. We're looking for the Demon Heart Arhat, and I don't know where to start.
Jiang Shaoyan's eyes were special, he looked around, pointed in one direction and said, "Let's go!" ”
I followed closely behind the iron donkey.
When I was on the platform before, I felt that the blood and soil there were very loose and uncomfortable to step on, but there was no comparison with here, and many times, I even walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
I didn't really check why the soil here is so soft, but I had a guess in my heart that it must have something to do with corpses, and it was soaked out of carrion and human blood. Gradually, I discovered a technique to walk hunched over and make myself much better.
I don't care if I'm ashamed of my posture or not, I look like a hunchbacked old man.
We walked forward like this for three or five minutes, and when we got away from the quagmire, the fishy smell wafting in the air was also very light, and I was still soothing, but I didn't expect that suddenly, Jiang Shaoyan stopped, took out a very cold gaze, and looked into the distance.
The iron donkey and I were only holding torches with human bones, and the light was limited, so I tried to look forward for a long time, but I didn't find anything.
I asked Jiang Shaoyan what happened? Jiang Shaoyan sneered and replied, "There is a human head on the ground. ”
My heart was tight, but not to the extent of being afraid, since I took the case of the Demon Heart Arhat, I said in my heart that there are still fewer people we have encountered?
We cautiously leaned forward, and when we found the human head, we gathered around it again.
I was still thinking about what kind of virtue the human head would have this time, but my imagination was not strong enough, and I was instantly shocked by this human head.
This is the child's head, the eyeballs have been completely hollowed out, a hole has been smashed in the top of the head, a hole has been dug, a large skull is missing, and a large brain is missing.
The pit was filled with black and yellow oil, I guess it was corpse oil. There was also a wick dipped in oil at one end and extended at the other, hanging from the door of the child's head.
I thought to myself, this is a headlamp, huh? We also exchanged opinions and guessed why this happened on the road.
We have two ideas, first, this is really a lamp, and further down, it is likely that there will be another one not far away, all illuminated; Second, this is a trap, as long as the wick is lit, the person's head will explode and hurt people.
If we don't understand the human headlamp, we really don't dare to go down rashly. I mean, try to pick up the headlamp lightly and dissect it.
Jiang Shaoyan felt that it was dangerous to do this, and said that he had a stupid trick, wouldn't we just light up the headlamp in front of us?
In my heart, I think his "stupid move" is more dangerous. But Jiang Shaoyan reassured the two of us and asked us to go aside to hide.
I couldn't argue with him, so I just obeyed. I walked ten meters away with the iron donkey, and squatted on the ground together.
The donkey watched warily, and I covered my ears with my hands. When the iron donkey saw this action, he said, "Apprentice, are we going to fight?" What are you doing with your ears covered? ”
I thought about it and was right, and I said that this was all a problem that I had raised when I was a child, and I quickly took it down.
Jiang Shaoyan tried his best to stay away from the headlamp, stretched out his arm again, and handed over the torch. The moment the wick lit up, he dropped his torch and ran towards us.
At this moment, my heart was beating so fast that I was even waiting for the sound of an explosion to come.
But we really thought about it, and the lights were on for more than a minute, and we didn't see anything else weird.
We looked at each other, and Jiang Shaoyan contacted the alarm.
We continued to walk, and as we expected, every ten meters, there was a headlamp, and it was also the head of a child.
I counted silently, and a total of fifteen human heads appeared, and I walked more than 100 meters like this.
Jiang Shaoyan once said that the disappearance of children in Xiaguang Town was probably done by the Demon Heart Arhat, and we came this time for a purpose to find the missing children.
I can say it in my heart, we have found these children, but they have all become this virtue, and I quote a sentence from the iron donkey, I can't help but scold the devil-hearted Arhat, what a pervert!
By the time we were done with this journey, we had come to the end. It's very wide, but it's also quite quirky.
If you want me to say, this is a naturally formed awl-shaped crater, and we are at the bottom of the pit, and when we look up, we can see the starry sky through the mouth of the pit.
Besides, the pit wall is densely paved by fine broken rocks, and there is a pit wall that is unusually flat, and the Buddha face of a golden sand Buddha is carved out on it.
It is said that the Leshan Giant Buddha is very magnificent and magnificent, with a height of 71 meters. And the face of the Buddha in front of him, to say the least, is ten meters high, and the light is definitely bigger than the face.
In addition, the two eyes of the Buddha's face are also empty, only the eye sockets, with a smile and this environment, I feel a feeling of hairiness in my heart. And in the left eye frame sat a person, who stretched his legs out like a swing, and his whole body shook and shook.
I couldn't see who this was at all, so I asked Jiang Shaoyan.
His eyesight was not enough, and he just replied guessingly, "Like Zhao Si." ”
My first reaction was impossible, right? Zhao Si is no longer a stone man, why did he appear here again?
also blamed me for being stupid, the iron donkey snorted and reminded me, "We may have all been deceived by Zhao Si, and the stone man is a fake Zhao Si." ”
I looked back and nodded approvingly. The iron donkey shouted to the top again, "Zhao Si? ”
The man didn't answer, still swaying, looking very comfortable. Iron Donkey scolded the fuck, took the carbine in his hand, took aim, and fired a bullet.
He deliberately did not hit people with this kind of aim. The bullet hit the Buddha's face, which was very close to the man, and at once caused a lot of small stones to fall.
We all hurriedly retreated, fearing that we would be hit by small stones. Then we looked at the man again and saw that he was still ignoring us.
The iron donkey snapped and raised his gun again. But Jiang Shaoyan grabbed the barrel of the gun and said to the iron donkey, "It's weird!" In this way, you cover up below, and Xiao Leng and I will climb up and take a look. ”
I couldn't believe it, and my heart said why let me climb up too? I'm not good at it, plus I'm afraid of heights, and it's dangerous to climb up.
But on second thought, I understood. I have the magic tripod on my waist, and I went up with Jiang Shaoyan, and I really encountered the attack of some poisonous insects, and I relied on the magic tripod to save the day.
I saw that Jiang Shaoyan was waiting for me to reply, so he happily agreed.
Each of us took an iron eight-claw and walked under the Buddha's face. I was a little worried, what if I didn't know how to use the Iron Octopus?
But this worry is obviously superfluous, to say that I don't have that level to drag someone or something with iron claws, but it is easy to climb with the help of it.
Just throw it up with all your might. After the iron claws hooked some stones, I still followed Jiang Shaoyan's example, kicked the pit wall, and "walked" upside down with both hands.
This way, Jiang Shaoyan was effortless, but I was a little nervous. We didn't go straight to the strange man, but first crawled together to the right eye of the Buddha's face.
When I was a little hunched and grounded, I took a few deep breaths and hurriedly lit a torch. Jiang Shaoyan didn't need a torch, he directly leaned out half of his body and looked at the left eyeball of the Buddha's face.
I then poked my head out, but I wasn't as bold as Jiang Shaoyan.
I was purely cooperative, and I still couldn't see anything, so I could only ask Jiang Shaoyan, "Is it Zhao Si?" ”
Jiang Shaoyan nodded yes, and emphasized, "He seems to be dead." ”
I didn't understand, and asked him why the dead could still move.
Jiang Shaoyan said that maybe there is a mechanism. He took the iron eight claws in his hand again and skimmed them at Zhao Si.
This iron eight-claw has an accurate head, and it is grabbed on Zhao Si's chest. Jiang Shaoyan didn't dare to push too hard, just tugged lightly.
But when it comes to this, the weirdness also comes. Zhao Si's head actually fell off, like a round rumbling stone, and smashed downward.
I'm afraid that the iron donkey will suffer a loss and be smashed or something, so I quickly reminded him and let him dodge.
The iron donkey was not hit by a human head, but after the head fell to the ground, it went straight to the iron donkey. He got angry and kicked the head away.
I ignored the following situation, and asked Jiang Shaoyan again, "What's next, since Zhao Si is dead, there's no need for us to stay here anymore, right?" ”
Before Jiang Shaoyan made up his mind, I felt a little wind behind me.
This stunned both of us, and we turned our heads together to see, I checked just now, and the inside of this eye socket is sealed, and there is no cave.
I took a torch against it again, and found that there were several places where "blood" was slowly spilling upwards, and as a result, air currents and wind were formed.
My muttering is broken, and the blood is spilling out too fast. If Jiang Shaoyan and I don't leave, I'm sure we'll get caught with them.
I picked up the iron octagate and looked at my feet again, I wanted to escape as soon as possible, but this place is so steep, and I have no experience, how to climb down with the iron octaw, it is a problem.
I was struggling, Jiang Shaoyan dragged his iron eight claws off Zhao Si's body, and Zhao Si's headless corpse was also taken by inertia and fell like a sandbag.
Jiang Shaoyan knew that I was in a hurry, he turned his head to look at the spilled blood, shouted not to panic, and threw the iron eight claws at the wall of a pit next to him.
He used a lot of force, and there was a clicking sound when the iron eight claws hit the pit wall, Jiang Shaoyan tried it, and found that the iron eight claws were scratching to death, and muttered, "Okay!" ”
I thought I would do the same with him, and I wanted to take up the Iron Claws. Who knew that Jiang Shaoyan snatched my iron claws over and threw them out for me.
The second Iron Octopus also clung to another pit wall, and was very close to the first.
Jiang Shaoyan held a rope in each hand, leaned out all his body, and gently stepped on his eye sockets with his feet.
I was a little confused, and I said that he wouldn't run away from me by himself, right? Am I really dead?
Jiang Shaoyan didn't let me think about it much, and said again, "Climb on my back, don't think too much for a while, just hold on to me." ”
I understood, and hurried into action.
By the time we were both ready, the red blood was about to overflow our eyes. Jiang Shaoyan hehe, said a word, and kicked his legs hard!
