Chapter Seventy-Three: Déjà vu

The thing in the lotus woman's stomach was only more than a foot long at most, and the distance between the two sides was so close that Maitreya didn't even have a chance to react, he couldn't dodge it at all, he hurriedly tilted his head, and the little thing suddenly pounced on his shoulder, and bit it when he opened his mouth. As soon as Maitreya felt pain, his hand couldn't help but loosen, and the lotus woman who was stuck in front of the figurines suddenly struggled, half of her neck was torn open by the tip of the crowbar, and she raised her hand to pounce on Maitreya.

One small and two big, the three figures suddenly twisted into a ball, I grabbed the crowbar and went over to help, in fact, I can't say how deep the relationship with Maitreya is, after all, I haven't known each other for a long time, but in this case, the two people are like wearing the same pants, one is dead, and the other is not alive.

The little thing more than a foot long seems to be the ghost baby of the lotus woman who died in the stomach, very flexible, constantly circling around Maitreya's neck, with sharp small teeth, I don't know if it is poisonous or not, but the place where it has been gnawed is suddenly swollen very high. I drew my whip and rolled it up a few times, until I finally wrapped my grip on the ghost baby, and with a shake of my hand, the whip whistled, and the ghost baby arced across the cabin, hitting the bulkhead hard.

Wow wow

The ghost baby screamed, and the voice was not like a human voice, and I followed it in two steps, picking up the crowbar and chasing it. That little thing is not as fierce as the lotus woman, but it runs fast, and the body of more than a foot long is one or two meters against the plank, I am in a hurry, jump to the side in three or two, raise the crowbar and prick hard. The tip of the crowbar pierced through the ghost baby's tiny body and thumped into the board below, nailing it to the spot with one blow. The ghost baby howled and cried, and his little arms and legs kicked back and forth, but he couldn't break free. I gasped for breath and ran back with the Ghost Whip.

When I ran back, I saw that Lotus Woman's two miserable white hands were tightly pinching Maitreya's neck, and Maitreya's clothes were scratched out of a long gap, and there were several deep blood marks on her round belly. The place on the shoulder that had been bitten by the ghost baby was like a hair, swollen and almost transparent. Maitreya kept rolling my eyes, I panicked, I didn't even have time to take out the knife, I opened my mouth and bit my fingers, a string of blood beads fell on the Zhenhe mirror, and the rusty ancient mirror burst out with dazzling red light.

I grabbed the mirror and threw myself at the back of the lotus's head. The bronze mirror that had eaten through the blood faintly made a faint sound, and with a bang, the lotus woman was almost smashed and flew out, knocked down a figurine, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

"Get up!" I stretched out my hand and pulled the dazed Maitreya up, saying that I am not afraid, it is fake, but what can I do if I am afraid, it is impossible to close my eyes and wait for death. I was completely desperate, holding the Zhenhe mirror and wiping it on Maitreya's wound, the red light was a little dazzling in the darkness.

As soon as I turned around, I continued to approach the lotus woman with the Zhenhe mirror, the copper mirror with red light flashed, and finally glowed with a little power in its heyday, the lotus woman was obviously timid, leaning against the bulkhead and constantly retreating, as if trying to avoid the red light of the bronze mirror. Maitreya staggered to his feet, he was really upright, he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, reached out and grabbed the crowbar, and ran over.

The lotus woman was completely suppressed by the red light of the Zhenhe mirror, and Maitreya ran over, taking advantage of that inertia, raised her hand and held the crowbar, and pierced it without saying anything. This thing is estimated to have been bitten miserably, and the strength of the milk has been exerted, and the tip of the crowbar suddenly pierced through the lotus woman's already cracked belly, and pierced the back of the heart.

"This thing can't be killed." Maitreya took a breath and said against the crowbar: "Turn over a piece of rope from my bag, drag her to the deck, and throw her into the river to plant lotus flowers again." "

I took the rope according to my words, put a looper around the neck of the lotus woman, and forced her with the Zhenhe mirror, and Maitreya pulled the rope and dragged it to the outside of the cabin door in one breath, stuffed the lotus woman into the iron cage, tied the cage door, and the two of them carried the iron cage together and threw it into the river.

"There are four cages in total, and there are at least four lotus women." I looked at the remaining three empty iron cages, and sweat broke out on my forehead: "How is your injury?" "

"There's no time." Maitreya looked up at the string of rusty bells on the bow of the ship, the sound of the bells was a little hurried, and he said, "Hurry up, once the ship sinks, it will not work!" "

I helped Maitreya temporarily bandage the wounds that could be wrapped on my body, and I felt a little strange in my heart, who is Maitreya? Is it really a second-way dealer who collects parallel goods? He recognized Zhenhe Mirror, and he planned to search for this ancient ship. I didn't know what to ask him, and Maitreya didn't speak, and when the wound was almost gone, he limped into the hatch.

There was no sound in the entire cabin except for the ghostly ghost cries from time to time from the ghost baby. We found Lao Yu, it is estimated that he will not survive, although he still has gas, but he has less air in and more air. Maitreya flipped him over and found that Lao Yu's stomach was completely pierced by the lotus woman, and the intestines and internal organs were flowing everywhere.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Maitreya hurriedly stuffed back the intestines exposed by Lao Yu, took a general look, and shook his head slightly at me, meaning that this person really couldn't be saved.

I'm a little unwilling, Lao Yu must know some inside information, I fought with Maitreya to get him out of the lotus woman's hands, can't I get any clues? I patted Lao Yu's face and said, "Wake up, wake up." "

Lao Yu's whole body has been soaked with blood, his eyes are closed, his pulse is beating very weakly, I pumped and beaten, pushed and screamed, he never responded.

"It's useless for you to say that." Maitreya pushed my hand away, then pressed it to Lao Yu's ear, and said, "The superior has a task!" Command you to be the commander-in-chief! "

As soon as the three words of the commander-in-chief were spoken, Lao Yu's tightly closed eyes miraculously opened all of a sudden. He may not really be a disguise, because his eyes are completely darkened, and his life is almost gone. The eyes were open for a moment, and then they became half-open and half-closed, and they looked very unfocused.

"Hurry up, it's a flashback." Maitreya whispered to me, "He won't last long, but I hope that before he dies, his mouth can loosen and tell us something." "

"Listen to me." I quickly patted Lao Yu's face and said to him: "Your team has been wiped out, and now you can't leave, if you want to convey anything back, just tell me, otherwise, these things can only rot in your stomach." "

Lao Yu's eyes were blank, but he could probably see what was in front of him, and when he heard me speak, he shifted his gaze from Maitreya to me. The moment he turned his head to see me, his eyes, which were almost unable to open, suddenly became as round as an egg, and his bloodstained mouth opened more than half of it, and his throat gurgled and trembled.

"What's wrong" I subconsciously retreated, and turned my eyes to look at Maitreya, did I say something wrong? Let the dying old Yu react so much?

"You" Lao Yu giggled for a long time, raised a hand tremblingly, and pointed at me tremblingly, his eyes were full of doubts and horror: "Why are you not dead yet?"

"What did you say!?" I was startled, so I grabbed his hand casually and said, "What do you say?" "

"You should die, you won't be able to live, why haven't you died" Lao Yu even had a problem speaking, his internal organs were seriously damaged, and he barely said a few words, and he kept foaming blood from his mouth, it could be seen that he was very excited and nervous, and grabbed my wrist with his backhand: "Why haven't you died yet!" "

I was immediately confused and wanted to ask him again, but Lao Yu's grip on my hand suddenly stopped trembling and drooped softly, and at the same time, his eyes froze and his breathing disappeared.

"Don't ask." Maitreya looked at me and said, "He's dead." "

"Dead? How did you die so quickly? "I was sweating, because I was confused by what Lao Yu said, and I couldn't understand it at all, but as soon as Lao Yu died, all this was interrupted, and I couldn't ask a word anymore.

What does he mean? Was it because he was dazzled before he died? I don't know if people have any delusions before they die, but I always felt that he didn't see dazzling. If so, does he know me? Or rather, have you seen me?

"You've seen this guy before?" Maitreya asked.

"No, I haven't seen it." I immediately shook my head, I don't have much experience, I don't know many people, just a little thought, I can go through everyone in my head.

"That's weird." Maitreya looked at Lao Yu's body that was slowly cooling, and said, "Listen to him, you seem to have met, and besides, he may have seen what happened to you with his own eyes, he should have hung up, but he has lived until now?" If you think about it, it is impossible for him to fake it before he dies, and that expression is very real. "

"yes." My mind was in a mess.

"Don't think about it yet, get down to business." Maitreya beckoned me to carry Lao Yu's body aside first, and said, "Your mirror is very useful, the lotus woman should still be there, and then be smart." "

When you reach the end of the cabin, there is the entrance to the second cabin, and there are several stones horizontally arranged to make a stone staircase. Walking slowly down the stone steps, all you see are carved jade pieces hanging from the bulkheads around them. I don't know about antiquities, and looking at these things is no different from looking at stones. But Maitreya glanced at it a few times, and his expression suddenly became solemn, a little excited, and a little surprised.

"Jade Yazhang!" Maitreya stood in place and didn't dare to move, just scanned the things on the bulkhead with the light, and said: "The age of this ancient ship is still unknown, but with this thing, I can see the approximation!" "

"What's that?"

"Something very important." Maitreya observed for a long time before slowly walking aside, tentatively picking off the two pieces of jade, looking back and forth, muttering to himself while looking. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "This kind of jade tooth zhang is the earliest one, and the specific age can be traced back to the Longshan culture period, and it should be from the beginning of summer." "

"Are you clear?" I couldn't understand what Maitreya was saying.

"This kind of jade tooth zhang is a very important ritual weapon, and the fact that there are so many jade tooth zhang in the cabin obviously shows a point." Maitreya said: "The owner of this ancient ship was a big man in the early summer period. "
