Chapter 26: The Ghost
It's not the first time I've experienced this oppressive feeling in a space that is absolutely dark.
Jiang Yuan stood less than a meter away from me, and I could even clearly feel his breathing rate, fast, at least faster than the average person.
Liang Jun moved his steps and seemed to lean towards me, while the gnats stood motionless next to me and did not make any moves.
"Why do you want to follow us, don't you worry?" Jiang Yuan's voice was soft, but there was a hint of reproach.
The blue flame appeared in front of us again, it jumped and jumped as if it was stepping on a spring, the grasshopper huddled behind me and watched with bated breath at what was happening in front of me, and Jiang Yuan reached out to grab it with great tenderness.
The ancients said that all things have sentient beings, in fact, I am not an absolute atheist, I believe that there is some kind of power in this world that we humans can never explain, just like this blue fire, it seems to have cognitive sensing after Jiang Yuan finished speaking, quietly docked on his palm, and looked serene like a well-behaved baby.
Jiang Yuan withdrew his arm, looked at the blue fire in his hand up close, and said, "Don't worry, I promise you, we will all be safe." ”
After hearing this, the blue fire jumped for a moment, shook from side to side a few times, and finally stopped quietly on Jiang Yuan's palm.
I couldn't see Jiang Yuan's face in the dark, but I could feel that he must be smiling at this moment.
"Alright, it's not too early, go back to your own place, or you'll be in trouble."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the blue flame jumped a little, as if he had promised him, but he didn't leave, I looked strange, so I stepped forward and said, "Boss Jiang, this ghost fire is reluctant to leave you."
Jiang Yuan looked at me and said, "This is not a ghost fire, but a spirit. ”
"Huh?" I immediately covered my mouth, fearing that my loud voice would alarm the sleeping underground prehistoric creatures around me.
The gnats tugged at my clothes behind me and muttered in a low voice, "Boss, don't you think this Boss Jiang is actually weird, you say, Ya and that big army brother are not different." ”
"What aliens?"
"Leprechauns or ghosts or something."
The more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes.
"Roll the calf, you kid have watched too much Journey to the West, where are there so many goblins, you think it's easy to cultivate into a fine." I said a few words angrily.
I was here to "educate" the grasshopper, and I didn't pay attention to the situation on Jiang Yuan's side, and when I finished training the grasshopper and was about to turn back to talk to Jiang Yuan, the blue flame actually appeared in front of me, and the distance between my nose and it was definitely no more than three centimeters.
"Ahh I was startled, screamed, unsteady on my feet, and sat down on the ground.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"It's fine."
I sat on the floor and rubbed my sore buttocks.
Jiang Yuan grabbed me by the collar with one hand and helped me up, saying, "What are you afraid of, she just wants to see you." ”
I looked at the blue fire in surprise, put on an extremely "bright" smile, and said, "Hi, hello, in Xia Xiaofang, people from the capital, three good citizens." ”
The flames jumped a few times, as if they were very happy, and even turned around in a circle, and finally under Jiang Yuan's order, they gradually quieted down.
"Boss Jiang, this is"
"Don't be afraid, she just doesn't worry about you, you can talk to her."
I said yes, I had a terrible headache, as if someone was using an electric drill to make a hole in me, the blue fire seemed to be very distressed, it kept spinning around me, up and down, left and right very panicked.
The gnats pulled out some painkillers from their backpack and gave them to me, and I grabbed a few and swallowed them, but the headache seemed to get worse.
The blue flame jumped onto my shoulder, docked for a few seconds, and then vanished.
It's strange to say, it's gone, and my head doesn't hurt anymore.
I stood up and touched my left shoulder with my hand, but there was nothing.
Liang Jun turned on the flashlight and looked around to see the terrain here, while my consciousness was still stuck just now.
"Boss, how are you?"
"I'm fine, it's strange to say, I'll be fine when that thing is gone."
Jiang Yuan was observing something in front of the rock wall, and suddenly said to me: "How much does Boss Xiao know about the sacrificial rituals of the ancient Dian Kingdom. ”
I stroked my messy hairstyle and said: "The ancient Dian Kingdom is a rather mysterious country in Chinese history, and the historical records of it are not very detailed. ”
Jiang Yuan looked at the rock wall silently, and suddenly he used a dagger to cut open his palm, and then pressed it on the rock wall with a blood-stained hand, and sure enough, some ink faintly appeared where his palm appeared, and the black lines were soft and flexible.
"How come there are murals here?" I asked him.
"Bloodthirsty, it seems that this is the front hall of the Golden Scale Star Palace." With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Let's go, before we reach the front hall, this place should be safe." ”
The gnatfish and I followed Jiang Yuan all the way forward, during which a strong flashlight suddenly struck for some reason, and the light source decreased sharply, and our line of sight was greatly shortened, which was very unfavorable for us.
Sure enough, after walking more than ten meters under the condition of insufficient light source, I felt something strange around us, and when I looked closely, dense black "hair strands" were pouring towards us from all directions.
The gnats cried out in fright, "Oh my mother, what is this?" ”
I grabbed him, "Don't make a fuss, calm down." ”
Without saying a word, Jiang Yuan pulled out his gun and gave a shuttle to the "hair strands" that were crawling in front, and after this shot, some of the others began to slow down, as if they were frightened.
"Keep going."
The four of us lined up in a column to pass through the corridor, and those "hair strands" were still in hot pursuit, but because of the shot just now, they did not dare to get too close to us, but followed not too close, and there were more and more of them.
Another shot, those things were really taboo, and it made me think of an idea, and I said to the grasshopper, "Take out our family's wealth?"
The grasshopper looked at me with a puzzled expression, "What family?" ”
Without saying a word, I took off his backpack, took out a small bundle of explosives, and said, "I don't know you kid yet, and if I can't escape in a critical moment, I want to die together." ”
When the grasshopper heard this, he immediately stopped me, "Boss, you have to think clearly, if this trick doesn't work, we will die a miserable death." If you think about it, it's not very comfortable to be suffocated by so many strands of hair. ”
I made a gesture of "contempt" to him, then took the explosives to Jiang Yuan and said to him: "With this, we have no way back anyway, and if we blow it up, some things will have to be cut off before we can make the trip." ”
Jiang Yuan hesitated, then nodded, he handed the explosives to Liang Jun, who found a suitable explosion point according to Jiang Yuan's method, and then turned around and shouted at us to run, and the next second I felt a very big momentum behind me, and the whole person bounced up instantly.
The moment I landed, I felt that something kept falling on my body, and it stinked.
"What's that?" The gnats screamed.
"Holy, what is this?" The voice of a strange man came from me, and this one was very close.
