Chapter 50: Entering the Tower
I was taken aback by the scene, looked up, and stared at the woman.
It wasn't my hallucination, because the woman's eyelids were still moving, as if they would open in the next moment. The rest of the people also saw this situation, and hurriedly retreated in surprise, and the fat man screamed even more, and hid behind Zhou Xuanye in extreme cowardice.
Holy shit, that's usually where I'm hiding behind the scenes.
Since the position was robbed, I didn't bother to hide, and immediately reached out and pulled out the dagger at my waist.
I saw that the female corpse was moving faster and faster under her eyelids, and I said nervously: "Brother Zhou, are you going to cheat the corpse?" ”
Zhou Xuanye held the Si Ghost Sword in his hand and said, "It's possible, the vitality on your body is too heavy, and it is easy to collide with the corpse." ”
I suddenly felt confused, so to speak, this thing is still caused by me?
"Brother Zhou, why didn't you say it earlier?" If he had said it earlier, I would have stayed away from this woman's corpse.
Zhou Xuanye said: "Is it useful to say it earlier?" ”
Before I could speak, Tan Jian suddenly made a silent gesture and said coldly: "It's not a corpse, take a closer look." Following his gaze, he saw a black object under the nose of the female corpse, and it was still moving, looking like some small bug.
A moment later, the thing came out from under the nose of the female corpse, but it turned out to be a small black bug, which looked a bit like the folk saying 'ground cow', only the size of a small fingernail, and disappeared as soon as it came out.
It turned out that there were such insects hidden in the eyelids, as soon as they crawled out, the eyes of the female corpse suddenly sunken down, and there seemed to be no eyeballs inside.
At this time, we don't know the time, and we can't get out, Tan Jian sneered, suddenly reached out and lifted the female corpse, and then threw the corpse on the table next to him, and jumped onto the bed.
I was so shocked that my eyes were about to come out: "Old boss, what are you doing here?" ”
Tan Jian said: "Since you can't get out, let's rest first and wait until dawn." "If it's something like a ghost, then after dawn, it will naturally disappear, it seems that Tan Jian is planning to rest in this place until dawn, but, even so, he can't afford to grab a place with a dead man, right?
As if seeing through my thoughts, Tan Jian looked at the female corpse that fell on the table, and said, "Ghosts are also afraid of the wicked, I want to see who can clean up whom." ”
Zhou Xuanye has always respected the deceased, and he would have persuaded Tan Jian in normal times, but at this time, he didn't know what was going on, and he was indifferent to Tan Jian's actions, but cooperated: "Senior brother is right, since we can't get out, we don't have to worry, just rest here and wait until dawn." As he spoke, he went to the surrounding blankets to collect some snow ghost skins, spread them out, and put them together into a bunk, motioning for us to go up and sleep.
Ma Fatzi swallowed his saliva, lowered his voice and said to me: "I said, you two brothers, it's really unusual." Can you really sleep? I think they know martial arts, and they are not afraid of ghosts and gods, and they are too awesome. I say...... What the hell are you guys doing? ”
"Our main business is to find lost people, and our side business is to chase corpses," I said. If someone in your family dies in a foreign country and you can't get home, you can come to us. We can be regarded as friends of life and death, and with this relationship, I am in charge and will give you a 20% discount. When the fat man heard this, his nose was crooked, and he immediately came over and beat me, saying, "You are a guest in a foreign land."
This fat horse has a heavy tonnage, I was pressed to the ground by him, pinched my neck and couldn't get up, and hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, the gentleman doesn't move, you have two hundred pounds, hurry up and get off me, your waist is about to be crushed by you." ”
Ma Fatzi said: "I am a fat man, not a gentleman." I found that you kid looks honest, but in fact he is wilted and wilted, and I will teach you a good lesson today. After saying that, he grabbed my neck with one hand and tickled me with the other. This trick was too damaging, I was pressed by his tonnage of 200 catties, my neck was still choked, I couldn't move at all, and the tears that were scratched almost came out.
Zhou Xuanye on the side couldn't stand it anymore, raised his foot and gently kicked the fat man, and said quite funny: "How old are you, I think you two are half a catty, don't make trouble, get up." ”
Ma Fatzi is still a little taboo about Zhou Xuanye, and when he heard this, he laughed dryly, and planned to get off my waist that was about to break. He had just lifted his butt and suddenly sat down again.
"Whew!!" I screamed: "It's broken, it's broken, it's absolutely broken, the surname is Ma, you're too ruthless, you're going to kill me in a word!" The fat man didn't answer me, but pressed down the whole person, and a big head just rested on my shoulder, and said, "...... Don't howl, there's something down here. ”
At this moment, I was lying on the ground, the fat man lay on my back, pressing me almost out of breath, after he finished speaking, the whole person rolled over, got off me, and then pouted his buttocks, and looked under the bed.
While scolding this surnamed Ma for being a bully in my heart, I couldn't help but be curious, and I also leaned over to take a look. It was dark under the bed, and the light shone obliquely through the edge of the position, and I saw a wooden box placed underneath, which was quite large.
The material of the box is also black lacquer, which should be similar to the material of the building, and it is also inlaid with jade and turquoise decorations, which are clumsy and regular, and I feel very special at first glance.
The reason why the fat man sat back just now and almost broke my waist was actually because he found this thing.
He said, "Ouch, this box ...... There is also jade embedded in it. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the box, intending to pull it out, but the box seemed to be quite heavy, and he had some difficulty pulling it, so he said to me, "What are you doing in a daze, take a handle." ”
We pulled the box out, but it wasn't locked, it was just hanging on the buckle. Tan Jian, who was already lying on the bed, glanced at us coldly, turned over, seemed to be extremely interested, and said, "Open it." ”
There is a kind of person who knows that he directs others without doing any work, and the name of this kind of person is the boss.
I glanced at him and reached out to slowly open the box.
Don't say it, the lid of this box alone is quite heavy.
The moment I opened, my eyes suddenly had some flowers, reflecting the light, and I saw a burst of jewels in the box, dazzling eyes, and looked at it, it turned out that this box was filled with a lot of lapis lazuli turquoise and other stones, all of which were peeled, but not carved whole stones, irregular shapes, the smallest ones were also the size of fists.
The fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "Although this place is full of dead people, it is really rich, come and bring some things, and when I go back later, what kind of car will I sell." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the stones.
Tan Jian is more knowledgeable in this regard, he said: "It's not a valuable stone, this is what women use to make decorations, and this is what is really valuable." He quickly took out a palm-sized warm jade from the box, the color was like mutton fat, which was very similar to the mutton fat white jade in Hetian.
I said, "Let's take the dead man's things, right?" ”
Tan Jian ignored me at all, took the piece of jade in his hand and played with it for a while, then threw it back into the box, and slept with his head covered.
To tell the truth, in addition to people with strong psychological qualities like him, there are three of me and Ma Fatzi, who is sleeping, there is a female corpse next to it. The rest of the time, we worked in pairs, taking turns resting, waking up and sleeping several times, and the day finally dawned and the sun shone through the window.
I opened my eyes in a daze and sat up from the snow ghost skin, and my eyes subconsciously swept around the surrounding environment, and at this moment, I found that the female corpse lying on the table was gone.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a spirit, drowsy and woke up, got up and looked around, only to see that the rest of the people were also awake, only Tan Jian was still sleeping soundly.
"Brother Zhou, where is the corpse?"
Zhou Xuanye took a step ahead of me to inspect the second floor, and finally shook his head, and said with a stern expression: "It's gone." ”
Could it be that while we were sleeping, the female corpse got up and walked away on its own?
No, we've always taken turns resting, you know, she's still there when you go to bed?
I asked Zhou Xuanye: "Brother Zhou, you were keeping vigil before, didn't you notice that she disappeared?" ”
Zhou Xuanye shook his head, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Forget it, go down first to see if you can open the door and tell your senior brother to get up." I glanced at Tan Jian, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and thought of Ma Fatzi's messing up with me last night, thinking about it, pretending to sort out the equipment, and letting Ma Fatzi call. The fat man went stupidly, slapped his fat palm on Tan Jian's shoulder, and shouted in a loud voice: "Brother, get up." ”
As you can imagine, he was kicked away by Tan Jian.
I restrained my gloating expression and followed Zhou Xuanye downstairs. Just as we were about to try to open the door, the door was pushed open from the outside. Outside the door stood a man in a saffron robe, who was not a natural stayer.
But at this moment, he slowly put down the hand that pushed the door, the hand holding the beads remained motionless, and his dark eyes stared straight at me, for some reason, I instantly felt a little weak.
I thought that this kid was dissatisfied because I left without permission, but he stared at me for a while, and actually ignored our situation, but said directly: "You come with me." With that, he turned around and left. We looked at each other, not knowing what he wanted to do, and in the end I followed first.
I realized that the small building we stayed in last night was actually not far from the main hall where the natural stay was, and there was only a three-story small attic in the middle.
Naturally, he led us past the main hall where he was resting, and went straight ahead, until finally stopped in front of a tall tower.
On the 100-meter-high ice wall, an eight-story tower was built, not to mention how spectacular that scene was. The reason why we didn't find it before is because the ice wall moves in an outer arc, so there is a blind spot in the line of sight.
When I got to the tower, I said, "You go in." ”
"Me?"
He nodded.
I said, "I'm going in alone?" ”
He snorted.
