PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel down and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Curious, Momiji looked at my frightened and sluggish expression, tugged at my hand and asked, "What is a fire tail Lian?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't remember it if he doesn't say it, because I haven't seen this thing before, I ...... I only heard what my squad leader said. It is a kind www.biquge.info of 'beast-eating'. ”
Subsequently, I told everyone about what I knew, "Huo Wei Lian".
I always thought it was just a legend. And the legendary creatures are inevitably ethereal.
It is said that this creature will smell the fireworks in the world, its tail will be on fire, its mouth will spit poisonous insects, it will chase ghosts and chase away the yin, and it will be good at eating foxes.
Moreover, the ability of this thing is also very great, it is also poisonous, the taste is fierce, the intestines are arrogant, the instinct is gluttonous in the world, but the taste is weird, and it only eats the filthy poisons of the world.
is also because of its delicious and "filthy" relationship, in the chef's business, he also has another title, called "Fire Tail Breaking God of Wealth".
"God of Wealth" naturally means bankruptcy.
In the cook's business, it is a symbol of "yin food losers, tasteless food, broken pot and scattered wealth, and the temple is turned down".
It's just such a thing, in the words of my old squad leader back then, Ya is the mourning star in the cook's business!
In ancient times, cooks were superstitious, and legend has it that if anyone saw or even dreamed of this broken thing with a fire in its tail! Then just stop the knife and destroy the stove yourself, or wipe your neck to commit suicide! Otherwise, the family will be ruined, and there will be no corpses.
…… Therefore, when Lao Nineteen said the three words "Huowei Lian", I was thinking about a problem as soon as I came up...... Can I die? Or, say goodbye to the industry forever?
And Lao Nineteen looked at my uncertain expression, and suddenly shook his head and said, "I see that you are young and know a lot, but you don't have any ideas?" I've come to this point! You still don't understand? ”
His words woke me up in an instant!
The yin banquet of three tables of big red paper, the moldy ancient glutinous rice, the cats under the moonlit night, the robbery of our luggage, the ruthless cat people and the king of bright lights...... All this is missing only the last link!
So, I speculated, "...... This firetail was deliberately summoned by someone?! And this person is a certain cook in the Five Organs Temple! The method of summoning is the three tables of glutinous rice Yin feast? We just passed by the ritual that broke the Yin Feast, and provoked everything? Is that right? ”
Old Nineteen nodded.
But I was puzzled and asked, "Can ..... Why would anyone recruit such a repentant and dilapidated monster to come out? What's the use of summoning it? Do you die? ”
Instead of answering my last question immediately, Old Nineteen squinted his eyes and looked out of the window of the wooden house, and after a long time, he replied to me, "Perhaps...... He's here for revenge! The human mind is too complicated. ”
Get you back...... Who?
I wanted to open my mouth to continue asking, but I was stopped by the gesture of the old nineteen.
Because at this time, a long howl of a fox suddenly came from outside the door, and then, the face of the old nineteen changed drastically.
He suddenly opened the door of the hut and went straight out, but halfway through the walk, he turned back to us and said, "I'll take care of the tail you left behind, you are absolutely safe here, and tomorrow morning will be gone." ”
"You're going out alone? Don't need our help? I asked.
Lao Nineteen nodded, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed at the king on my bed and roared: "Don't worry about your brother's curse, when you get to Zhao's house, find a person named 'Zhao Haipeng', that person, know how to save him!" He is also a rare good person in the Five Organs Temple. ”
Lao Nineteen's words once again made my heart "pop".
Zhao Haipeng? Isn't that the name of my old squad leader? Does this self-proclaimed old nineteen know my squad leader?
This person...... What the hell is it for?
After that, the man added: "There is another thing I want to remind you, for the sake of your brothers, don't mention my name in Zhaojialou, otherwise, you won't be able to do anything, understand?" ”
After that, he didn't pay any more attention to us, and he slipped into the thick night and evaporated.
In the breeze and cold moon, I suddenly felt that he would not come back.
After that, we entered into a bored wait.
In the silence, everyone can't sleep, but everyone doesn't speak, what can they say? We're just somehow caught up in a chaotic circle. To passively deal with everything, to understand everything, but not to know the ins and outs of the truth.
Guess? I don't have that energy.
During this period, I got up and took out the luggage that Wang Roar had taken back with his life, found some clothes from it, changed them for everyone, and rummaged through the luggage by the way, and found that although I lost cigarettes and a lot of clothes and food, most of the medicinal materials that suppressed the white food Gu were still there.
The rest of the things will be talked about at the old squad leader's house.
In this way, we waited, waiting for the moment when the sun rose and dawned.
But at the moment when the dawn is approaching...... I still fell asleep in a huff.
So, I had that dream again, the dream of the old squad leader cutting my head with a kitchen knife.
I dreamed of ...... I came to the entrance in front of the old squad leader's house again, and unexpectedly, the old squad leader was still greeting me with a kitchen knife in his hand, and the old kitchen knife still had Sensen's blood stains on it. Unusually glaring in the sun.
In fear, I shook hands and hugged the old squad leader, but just as we were about to separate, the old squad leader suddenly put the kitchen knife in front of me.
The old squad leader told me in a tired voice that he was very happy to see me, and specially gave me a family heirloom kitchen knife as a greeting gift, hoping that I would accept it.
Although I had the experience of being "chopped" by the old squad leader last time, I don't know why, I still said it as accurately as if acting in a movie script, I don't want it, how can I accept the heirloom of the old squad leader's family heirloom of the imperial kitchen knife, you just hack me to death, I can't ask for it.
Then, not surprisingly, the old squad leader raised the kitchen knife and told me to take it, and if I didn't, he would hack me to death with a knife......
But just as the old squad leader raised the knife and was about to cut me, he suddenly looked up behind me, and then his face changed, and a knife raised above his head was suddenly retracted.
At the time, I felt weird.
So I shook the old squad leader's arm and asked him, "Old squad leader!" Why don't you cut me! You don't cut me! How can I wake up! ”
"Hehe", the old squad leader smiled helplessly at me, and then gently pushed me away and said, "No, after you come, let's drink for a few days." And me...... I'm still waiting to smoke the cigarette you brought me! Beidaihe! Remember? ”
After the old squad leader finished speaking, he turned his head back to his own entrance, and no matter what I called, he didn't pay attention to me.
I wanted to chase after me, but as soon as I took a step on my leg, I was suddenly pulled to death by a hand reaching out from behind me.
Immediately after, I was woken up by the owner of that hand, Ken Momiji.
The red leaves shook me gently, and when I opened my sleepy eyes, she smiled sweetly and said, "Lao Tian, the sun is on your ass, and you're gone." ”
At this time, I suddenly found that everyone had already packed their bags, and Zhao Hong was even more out of breath to carry the unconscious Wang Roar, looking at me expectantly.
He was tired and obviously needed my help.
The man named Lao Nineteen really didn't come back.
Looking at Zhao Hong's struggle, I smiled helplessly, sat up, and helped him support the crumbling Wang Roar.
But just as I got up, I suddenly noticed that the wounds on my body ...... At least 80 percent better.
Stunned, I looked up at Momiji and confirmed with some excitement: "This injury? All right? I'm not dreaming, am I?! ”
Momiji smiled and nodded, and at the same time learned the tone of the old nineteen and said, "This is the ...... The fox's reward, right? We helped them kill the Lantern King, so they saved everyone. ”
This is probably the only good news I've heard in the past few days.
Without the trouble of toxins and pain, I suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and I let out a long breath of turbidity in my chest. Even the roar of the king on his shoulders did not have the previous dead sink.
Afterwards, Zhao Hong and I hummed and sang the songs of the military time, pushed open the wooden door with high spirits, and continued our trip.
Outside the wooden door, the first to introduce the eyelids is the mountain valley of the Yimeng Mountains in the distant sky. In the midst of those groups, I saw the nearest one in front of us, and in addition to the flat land on the top of the mountain, there were many dense "stone pillars" and "stone people" of different sizes.
Suddenly, that's the stone man we are going to! Are we finally here? This journey is really comparable to Tang Seng learning scriptures......
But just when I was sighing, I suddenly heard Xian Hongye beside me shouting in surprise: "Look! ”
Immediately after, she held out her hand.
Following the direction indicated by the autumn leaves, I immediately looked over.
Immediately, my eyes tightened!
How could it be...... Such?
When I retracted my gaze from the perspective of the view, I saw a white hazy shadow behind the woods outside the wooden house.
That...... Isn't that our pickup?
Judging from my point of view, the pickup truck outside the woodland is not more than 100 meters away from our line of sight. See, we were just going around in the woods last night!
Starting from the original point, but returning to the original point.
"Why is that?" Xian Hongye was shocked and puzzled: "When I came out of the wooden house with Lao Nineteen, I remember that it was all vast miscellaneous forests and shrubs, and I walked for a long time, and I couldn't walk at all, but I didn't expect this pickup truck to ......."
Listening to Momiji's words, I seemed to think of something.
So, I silently turned around and glanced at the wooden house behind me.
The house was built under the cliff of a low hill, and the wooden house was very simple, without any ornamentation, but under its eaves...... There was a black lantern, swaying gently in the wind.
I looked at the small lantern dyed black, smiled helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards our pickup with Zhao Hong carrying Wang Roar.
Around the pickup, to my surprise, everything was gone, except for the shattered glass. The stones on the seats, the three tables of yin banquets in the middle of Lao Qi Road, and the black mold glutinous rice all over the ground.
Everything was gone, as if in a dream.
After Zhao Hong settled Wang Roar, in the face of everything that disappeared quietly, he kept asking us if we were dreaming. He turned back and looked for the hut from which he came, but found that he could not find it anyway.
I smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't look for it, where we stayed yesterday..... It's not built by people at all. ”
"What?" Zhao Hong asked me in amazement.
"What? I don't know anything either! To be exact, I'd like to ask someone else what you say. I replied gloomily.
In all fairness, there are still many parts of last night's incident that we don't understand, such as the dead cat that Wang Roar threw on the ground, who buried it? Why did that red leaf's mobile phone get into the mouth of the King of Lights? What is a cat man? Why is Wang Yao's mobile phone placed on the altar of the Yin Soldier Tomb? Who is the yin banquet that came to summon the fire-tailed Lian......
But who do I ask? All these questions can only be asked by the guy named Old Nineteen, right? But is he a human or a goblin..... We can't figure it out.
It's also because I'm tired, I don't think about anything, all I have in my heart at the moment is a black lantern and a name called Lao Nineteen.
Soon, we took a pickup truck, under the morning sun, along the flat old Qi Road, to the Shirengu Zhaojialou that haunted me.
There, my old squad leader was waiting for me, maybe the Bright Lantern King and the cat-clad...... Waiting for me, too.
In short, in order to make Wang Roar sober, in order to get rid of the white food Gu in our bodies, and to help the old squad leader solve the problem in front of him.
We must do whatever it takes.
