As soon as the hunchbacked old man came up, he gave me a dismount, and the only little slack in my heart disappeared invisibly-I blocked the old man for a moment, and naturally thought about Miao Yu's safety. But Miao Yu was still not in a hurry, and she didn't even help in a hurry, standing quietly behind me, she had full confidence in me, and felt that I could fight this "unpopular role".

But my stomach was full of bitter water, and the hunchbacked old man shot like lightning, and he couldn't leave the back of his head, and every blow wanted to tear me to pieces. He was fast and fierce, fighting while baring his bright teeth, I collected three mouthfuls of blood in the copper tripod, and his strength was very great, but it seemed that he was not enough to see in front of this thin and old hunchbacked old man. After touching three or five moves, the bones in the whole person's body seemed to be scattered.

The hunchbacked old man's eyes were full of fierce light, he would never stop if he didn't kill me, and he forced me back more than ten meters away one after another, Miao Yu was indifferent, I was really a little anxious to fight, but in the struggle, I suddenly found that after the hunchbacked old man's eyes were full of fierce light, there was a trace of hidden fear, although the fear was only a wisp, but it seemed to come from the deepest part of my heart. I mustered my spirits and fought with the hunchbacked old man.

But the strength of the two sides is too different, and they don't even have a chance to fight hard, the hunchbacked old man's two thin fists are impenetrable, one punch after another, and his eyes are glazed. I felt that I couldn't bear it, and began to dodge, but I couldn't hide from the front and the back, and I was caught off guard and punched in the chest by the hunchbacked old man.

clang

This punch was blocked by the Zhenhe mirror in the chest, and the bronze mirror made a buzzing sound, but the residual power of the fist was still terrifying, and I couldn't help but lean back, feeling the blood in my chest surging towards my throat, and forcibly holding it back, a trace of blood had flowed out of the tip of my nose.

"You" Miao Yu was full of confidence in me, but when she saw that I was beaten and had no power to fight back, her face began to be anxious, and her footsteps moved back and forth, as if she wanted to help me.

"Die!" The hunchbacked old man struck a blow and immediately followed suit.

At this moment, there was a violent beating in front of the chest, and the tooth hanging on the chest was usually silent, even if it was surrounded by enemies to the death, it never moved, but at this moment, the tooth seemed to be alive, rushing out of the chest. The teeth flew sideways, and the speed was extremely fast, with a sharp sound of breaking the air. The hunchbacked old man had already pounced in front of him, and when he saw the teeth that suddenly broke through the air, his eyes suddenly froze, and he was terrified to the extreme in an instant, and he didn't care about anything, and even wanted to dodge with a crawl.

At such a close distance, the teeth flew so fast, it was useless for the hunchbacked old man to dodge, he could only avoid the vital parts of his body when he was in danger, and twisted his body hard, and the teeth popped through his left shoulder.

Oh

The hunchbacked old man, as if pierced by a sharp knife, let out a wail that was not human, and could no longer care to pursue me, so he turned and ran. I immediately understood that Miao Yu said that the hunchbacked old man was afraid of me, but in fact, he was only afraid of this tooth-like thing I was carrying.

"Chase him!" Miao Yu shouted anxiously.

I put the teeth that flew back on my body again, and chased after them. The hunchbacked old man even rolled down the old road, ran desperately, and felt too slow to run wildly, so he simply used his hands and feet at the same time, I chased after him, and the teeth on his chest still carried a wisp of blood on the hunchbacked old man's body, constantly shaking, and made a slight sound, which made the hunchbacked old man extremely frightened, and ran out for a while, his body suddenly moved, and between the rolling dust, I saw the hunchbacked old man turn into a cat-like thing, and continue to flee at the bottom of the river.

It was indeed a cat-like and somewhat strange thing, with almost all of its fur shed, and a tail waving in the wind behind it, and there were eight or nine of them at a glance. In the folklore of the river beach, the nine-tailed cat is the most spiritual and the most kind of divine creature, without a little ferociousness, but the nine-tailed cat transformed by the hunchbacked old man is evil and violent.

The old nine-tailed cat that even lost its hair fled along the old road for a while, we chased closely behind, one after the other ran out at least six or seven miles, the old road in front was blocked by the soil that collapsed on both sides, the nine-tailed cat wailed while running, it was pierced by teeth, blood dripping along the way, when it ran to the front, it flashed, and suddenly disappeared. Miao Yu and I ran over and saw a small round hole in the gap in the soil, the hole was very small, and the nine-tailed cat must have gotten into it from here.

"After all these years, I really didn't expect him to be alive." Miao Yu looked at the entrance of the cave, bit her lip and said, "I just want to take you to take a look, but if it goes on like this, it may be dangerous." ”

I just hesitated, since Miao Yu specially brought me here, it means that this place may have a special significance, and I walked with Maitreya Jin Dashao and them on the river beach, and there were many dangers, so I didn't care about these. As soon as I made up my mind, I immediately started to widen the small hole, the entrance of the small hole was very narrow, but after digging down, it gradually widened, until I could let people pass, I looked inside, the nine-tailed cat ran away without a trace, I was careful, lest this thing set some trap inside.

"No, he's been scared, at least not for now." Miao Yu shook her head.

I immediately went through the hole, and the crooked hole, which must have been pulled out by something like a yellow skin, slanted downward, was very uncomfortable to crawl in the hole, and a little stuffy. The slope of the cave is very large, and you can climb into it more than ten meters away, and the soil hole has widened a lot, so you can stand up and walk. The cave is still sloping downward, so after going out for a while, and according to the direction of the cave, I feel that I have now reached the bottom of the old road.

There was no sound around, there was no movement, and the silence made people's hearts hairy. The crooked earth cave made a sharp turn in front of me, and as I walked through this turn, I was immediately shocked.

There was an indescribably wide space in front of me, and I could never have imagined that there would be such a place at the bottom of the old river. It was vast like a huge square, and the underground dirt road seemed to have been leveled, and I walked twenty or thirty meters along this flat road, and in front of it was like a small basin, and under the steep slope on all sides, I saw a building deep in the basin.

I have never seen such a building, and there is no building of this style on the river beach from ancient times to the present, it is like a giant sleeping at the bottom of a great river, with the breath of ancient vastness, completely submerged in endless darkness. I turned my head to look at Miao Yu, and at this time, I didn't need to ask to know that the place she wanted to take me to must be here.

I still can't see the shadow of the nine-tailed cat, on the steep slope on all sides of the small basin, the steps are made of whole stones, the steps are very strong, I let Miao Yu behind me, and take her down the steps step by step. It's an old and magnificent building, not exquisite, but it's atmospheric. Walking down this staircase, it happens to be the gate of this building. The gate was seven or eight meters wide and five or six meters high, and it was strung together with a single log, and it seemed to be indestructible.

As soon as the flashlight shone, there were two huge skeletons on both sides of the gate, like two giant elephants, one on the left and one on the right, lying on both sides of the gate, they had been dead for too long, but they were still like two guardian saints, guarding this ancient building. I was even more surprised and hesitated, what is the origin of this building at the bottom of the river? Who built it?

But I really can't recall anything.

I raised my senses to the extreme, closely observing all the sounds and movements around me, and as I observed, I walked towards the grand door. Even if the gate is opened, it is not something that can be pushed by one person or two, and when it is very close to the gate, I raise my flashlight and shine it back and forth on the gate a few times. Sure enough, in the middle of the gate, there was a small door about two meters high and three meters wide, and a stone-like lock hung on the small door.

Looking at the small door, my footsteps suddenly stopped, because when I saw the small door, I also saw the image of a fox on it. The fox stood upright on his feet, and was painted in the middle of the small door, which was completely different from the vast and crude building behind it, and was extremely exquisite, and the fox on the small door looked lifelike.

I turned my head to look at Miao Yu, and her expression suddenly became a little hesitant and a little uncertain. I asked her what was wrong, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know if I'm mistaken, this door wasn't like this before." ”

This gate was the only way to get inside, but the stone lock on the small door looked very clumsy, but it was too strong to be stronger, and I thought, now that I have arrived here, I must go in and look around, and find another way into it.

Jingle bells

Suddenly, an ethereal ringing seemed to come to the ears from the front, and the sound was false and real, and for a moment people suspected that it was real or hallucination. Because the bell was very unclear, with an illusory feeling, but the whole brain shook with this sound that seemed to be nothing.

Immediately after, there seemed to be a ripple of water in front of me, as if the entire building began to sway with the gaze. It's a very bad feeling. I started to get nervous, pulled Miao Yu to take a step back, and then looked around to see the specific source of the sound.

His gaze swept over, but as soon as he swept through the door, he turned back again, and at the same time, his forehead was already sweating. For upon a hasty glance, I saw that the eyes of the fox portrait on the little door seemed to turn slyly.
