20. Death Tree Swamp
"Woo." I grunted and held the knife in both hands, almost several times I had to let go and fall, my whole body did not have a trace of feeling that it was listening to my brain's reaction, but only this knife, as if it had grabbed my hand, resonating like a song of heaven and earth.
"Drink ......," I began to shout uncontrollably, the sound coming out between my teeth, and finally a hint of astringency.
"It's blood." My heart is like a mirror, my knife is constantly slashed by my body, the blood is spraying on my body so violently, I keep my mouth open, trying to avoid it, but no, there is too much blood, I can't dodge, I can only drink it all.
"Ahh Yes... Yes. "I struggled to adjust my body, and it felt like it was slowly returning, and everything was spinning, and the snake was already churning and dancing in the sky, like a dragon, a dragon with its tendons pumped, and it kept shaking between the trees, but its lower body couldn't leave the tree, so I wasn't enough to fall for a while.
But I'm already at my limit, the blood doesn't play much of a role in the catalysis of my nerves, and like a roller coaster, everything in my stomach feels like it's empty, and I don't feel anything, not even that you have a belly. Next is dizziness, and slowly dizziness.
"Can't die." Inside I told myself, "I can't die." "The sound gets louder and louder, and finally it reaches a kind of resonance. I shuddered, let go of the knife with one hand, and the man fluttered with the snake's body, and then I gritted my teeth and put my whole hand into the body of the snake I had cut open. The instantaneous burning sensation spread throughout the arm.
But fortunately, I got my hand to have an attachment point in time, and I held a knife in one hand, slashing through the air, and the other hand was stubbornly picking at the flesh under the snakeskin pouch. It just kept going down.
It screamed as hard as it could, but it couldn't do anything about it, and it wasn't until I was about to hit the ground that it let go of its tail wrapped around the tree and fell down.
I fell to the ground one step ahead of it, but fortunately it wasn't very high, and the downward slash of the blade caused me to lose most of the momentum, and I fell in a pool of blood with a "poof", these were the snake's, so much blood, I couldn't help but be a little frightened. They swarmed me like a pounce on food, as if there was life, but before I could sigh, I immediately realized that something was wrong, a fishy wind hit above, it turned out that the blood was under the strong pressure to gather me, I struggled to turn over, and suddenly a huge body fell in front of me, and the blood was swarming out.
"Dead?" My eyelids began to fight up and down, and I couldn't stop trying to close my eyes, but I wasn't sure if the snake was really dead.
"Dead?" I don't know who to ask again? As if I needed an answer, my voice kept saying, but it grew smaller and smaller, and finally it was dark and I couldn't see anything
"Living people. It's a living person. A voice sounded in the darkness, and I was a little curious, but I couldn't get rid of the drowsiness.
"But this man is so strange! Also wearing a mask. The voice sounded again, like the murmur of a ghostly ghost in the night wind.
"Who is it?" I asked in my mind.
"It's me." Suddenly he replied, and as soon as I heard it, it seemed that a layer of goosebumps had exploded all over my body, and my eyes trembled and I shuddered, and the world suddenly blurred.
A night without a ray of light is like a city that never sees light. In the darkness, the sound of the wind is in my ears, like a soul in the underworld that has not yet entered reincarnation, wandering around me, crying and telling about its past, sad, desolate, helpless. I shook my head and felt like I was waking up from a dream, maybe it was on the soft Simmons bed, but the words that were so true repeated over and over again in my mind when I closed my eyes, "A living person, a real living person." Little brother, friend, can you hear me? The sound came as I stood up and hugged my feet in the dark space, and there was nothing but fear in my mind.
I don't know how I fell asleep again, maybe I was too tired from the fight! Consciousness slowly faded out, eyelids slowly closed, I thought I could sleep until the next day, but when a dangerous warning signal swirled in my mind, I immediately opened my eyes, this space is still black like ink splashed rice paper, why do I wake up I wanted to pull out of the sleeping bag to move my body, but I found that my body didn't listen to this at all, I was a little helpless, ghost pressed the bed? Things that don't exist, I remember the book said that the ghost press bed is just when people fall asleep and enter a deep sleep, the brain is afraid that the action in the dream is too intense and will hurt itself, so it forcibly orders the body to make the whole body unable to move when it enters a deep sleep state. At this time, when you wake up suddenly for some reason, your body has not yet received instructions from your brain, and you have recovered from the "fixation", so you have created a "ghost press" that your consciousness cannot drive your body.
But here and there? Why is it still dark? Why would anyone be around me. Just when I wanted to slowly recover the function of various parts, I suddenly saw a person's thigh out of the corner of my eye, his clothes were very thin and there was a small hole in his pants that seemed to have been burned by incense, at first I thought it was Yang Shizhong and them, but after a long time, I found that something was wrong, how could someone run around in such a cold mountain with so few clothes. Then I gradually saw the kind of pants made of linen fabric, and my scalp exploded.
"Don't look away, you can't see us." Suddenly, a hand pressed my eyes, and this hand was very strange, and it was not too much to say that it was tangible and insubstantial, but I was just pressed by him and couldn't see what was in front of me.
"Listen to me. I'll give you a great fortune. ”
I couldn't think of anything in my head at this time, and all I saw was the image of that pants. In ancient times, many poor people could not afford to buy fabrics, and most of them would use the linen they had kneaded at home to weave cloth, but now who would wear such cloth in the cold and windy woods. I just felt that my blood began to pour up, and an inexplicable sense of fear began to rush to my nerves, "What is it?" What exactly? ”
And he continued to say, "If you enter the tomb, there is a corpse in the second passage of the tomb, which is the bones of my brother, and I only ask you to take him out after stealing the treasure and bury him beside me." ”
"What?" I frantically shouted in my heart, "What is this? ”
"Then, you have to listen well, that ancient tomb is in the mountains, you must not enter too deep inside, this is not an ordinary tomb, the gate of the tomb suppresses the Netherworld Ghost Kingdom, if you go in, you can't come out. By the way, the saying is, 'The mountain wind is coming, and the yin door opens by itself.'" I warn you. ”
"What a mess." I jerked up, and when I opened my eyes, there were all the woods around me, and there was nothing dark about it, probably because I was dreaming. I rubbed myself from the pool of blood, looked at the snake, and subconsciously looked at my feet, and I remember what that thing said to me in the nightmare. Curious, I turned the knife into a shovel and smashed the earth, and gradually a corpse appeared in my eyes.
Everything happened just now so suddenly that I was still in the muna for a while, until I came back to my senses, took the knife I always held in my hand, and dug up the soil on the ground, only to find that what had just happened was really terrible, and cold sweat instantly broke out.
Sitting weakly on the ground, looking down at my knife like a dead man, the curved "L" shaped blade gives people the illusion of a machete, if it weren't for witnessing its sharpness, I would never have made a second thought, but now I gradually feel that this knife is wrong, when I pick it up, it seems that something is grabbing my soul, let me hold him tightly.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured down, only a few bits and pieces fell on the knife like starlight, I looked at the knife but was thinking about other things, suddenly I saw a pattern printed on the knife in the light, I stood up curiously, pointed it to the sun, and constantly squirmed my position in the shade of the tree, and slowly a picture that I could never have dreamed of appeared in front of my eyes.
It was a person, or a black shadow, he stood out of thin air, only his upper body appeared in the air, wearing a cloak and holding one hand to the side, covering his face, one hand crossed his back, leaving only one look coldly looking down at everything below, and below that was a ruin, the ruins were very ordinary, like a post-war city, and suddenly a word crossed through his mind: "Pangu." ”
"Pangu." I may not have had a face-to-face conversation about this organization, I may never know what kind of organization it is, or I may not think of it as an organization at all. But now it's different, I remember what the woman said to me, I subconsciously looked down at my thumb again, and my heart became more and more confused, the third uncle is from Pangu? He knew that I existed, it was he who leaked my secrets in Miao Village, it was he who forced me to flee everywhere like a dog, and it was he who turned all the things that were just "maybe" to me into reality. I gritted my teeth, as if I was going to tear my jaw, I was angry at why I was so naïve, I actually believed in a person I met for the first time without hesitation, I was angry that I didn't have a trace of reservation in front of him, I was angry that I did a ** this time.
Maybe he really had a leg injury, but since he tricked me into this place, he had enough time to escape from the mountains, and as for the girl, he must have seen that I had saved her, so he used her as a cover.
Damn, shit. I covered my head, I didn't know what I was thinking, I stood up with a knife, there was a white bone under my feet, I choked and took a few steps forward, thinking in my mind that I was obviously about to get my hands but flew away, he was lying to me, he was obviously Pangu's person, if he really wanted to tell me the truth of everything, why didn't he talk about Pangu for me, naïve, I was so naïve. "Ahh
"Is that her?" I suddenly calmed down.
Why is she here? Didn't the third uncle lie to me? But that's right, if there is really something wrong, how could he run into this mountain, could it be that the third uncle is afraid that he will tell me about Pangu, and I will ignore the girl and pull him desperately? I shook my head, didn't think about the knife, calmed down, picked up the backpack not far away, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
The road here is divided into two ends, one is to continue to the high place of the mountain, there are not many more plants, because compared to the ground of Pingdan, this uphill road is still relatively steep, the steep mountain road, most of them are bare rocks, I went up all the way, only to find that there are not no plants here, but there are a large number of artificial traces, especially some stone polishing traces are relatively obvious, although the passage of time has washed a lot, but the artificial edges and corners can still be seen.
Isn't this place where no one has ever set foot? I said to myself as I propped up the ground and climbed up. Oh, by the way, Yang Shizhong said that there are ancient tombs in this mountain area, and when we came before, we met unknown creatures, and he also said that someone dug up their house so they came to retaliate, and I didn't believe it when the ghosts and gods said it, but this point is always bad It just means that this is where the ancient tombs exist, no wonder the 'person' in my previous dream would say those things to me.
I sighed softly and realized that I had run to the top of the mountain.
At the top of the hill is a dead tree that has fallen to the ground, rotten to black, this is a cemetery of trees, like a fossilized skeleton of a prehistoric giant beast in Hesse, some of them are dead but still standing upright, the branches are rotten and still straight and pointed straight to the sky, like the ruins of Gothic buildings, Xianghuabiao, and Yuanmingyuan, and I don't know what force supports their bodies that have been dead for many years, I feel shocked.
But this is not enough to make me feel alarmed, I stood here and saw a row of trees not far away that had not completely withered, and there were three girls tied up in rows on the trees, one of which was the girl surnamed Hu who was rescued by the third uncle, he was trapped in the tree, but he was unaware, his eyes were closed, and his head was bowed. Wait, is it already dead? I looked away at the other two girls, and immediately I felt a cold air rise up my spine, rushing against my heart and lungs.
