Chapter 63: Dead Water and Dead Fire
readx;
I couldn't help but be stunned, and said in my heart, I haven't even found a place here, and the law hasn't been applied yet, is this Xiao Jiu okay by himself? …
Seeing me walking over, Zhu Bin opened the car door and looked at me in a panic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Leng, Brother Leng..."
"Don't make a noise."
I waved my hand, and Zhu Bin stepped aside. Leaning into the car, I took out my flashlight and shone it, only to see the little nine curled up against the seat, his head drooping down, not moving. I called him, but there was no response, and I pushed with my hand, but there was still no response.
"Brother Leng..."
I withdrew my body, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear it right, did Xiao Jiu really speak?" ”
"Yes, yes..."
Zhu Bin said that he was looking out of the car window just now, and suddenly, he felt that Xiao Jiu said something...
"What did he say?" I asked.
"I didn't hear clearly, my soul was almost scared, scared away..."
I shone Xiao Jiu with a flashlight again, and wondered in my heart, if Zhu Bin heard correctly, then, did this Xiao Jiu really speak? … The sorcerer's sixth sense made me feel uneasy...
Whether this Xiao Jiu has spoken or not, don't care about him for now, what I need to do now is to hurry up and find something to help me 'show the way', since I can't see anything on this road, maybe, that 'thing' is in the field...
"Take good care of him..."
After telling Zhu Bin, I calmed down, looked around again, but still found nothing, so I walked towards the wheat field on the left side of the road. There was a ditch between the road and the wheat field, and as soon as I came to the edge of the ditch, I heard Zhu Bin scream 'oops'...
I stopped in my tracks, turned around and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Xiao Jiu said again, let's talk..."
I rushed to the front and said, "Talking again?" ”
Jubin would only nod.
My back was cold, and the car shone down, Xiao Jiu still listened as before, and could only hear his subtle breathing. Just as I was reaching out to push him again, all of a sudden, I heard Xiao Jiu muttering something vaguely...
"Brother Leng, listen! …”
I didn't say anything, just clenched my fists, that's right, this Xiao Jiu did speak...
"Don't panic..."
I rolled my throat, stared at Xiao Jiu, and called softly, "Xiao Jiu..."
No response...
I screamed again, but there was still no response. I leaned forward, and my face was about to stick to Xiao Jiu, and I was about to scream again, when suddenly, this Xiao Jiu muttered again...
I felt like my temples had been hit by a heavy punch, and because of the proximity, this time I heard it clearly, and the sound was not from Xiao Jiu at all...
"Get down, there's something in the car!"
I dragged Zhu Bin out of the car, leaned over and shone it with a flashlight, and I saw that under Xiao Jiu's seat, there was a black thing... I didn't have time to take a closer look at what it was, my hand reached into my pocket, I pulled out a magic weapon, and hit it hard, and as the opposite door slammed open, the thing underneath was gone...
"Don't run!"
I pressed my hand on the roof of the car, flipped over, shone a flashlight, saw nothing, the thing ran away...
"Brother Leng..."
Jubin stood there in horror.
I walked back and wiped the sweat from my head, "I don't know what it is, I ran away, let's get in the car, it's okay..."
I said in my heart that what the people saw before should be that thing. I didn't see anything when I looked back, it turned out it ran into my car...
Zhu Bin was about to get into the car, and I suddenly thought of something, "Wait." ”
Zhu Bin shrank down in fright, "Brother Leng, what's wrong?" ”
"Look for my artifact."
"Scare me... A big jump..."
I didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was used to hit that thing just now. No matter what kind of magic weapon, it is made by the master with great painstaking work, and it cannot be wasted. I used a flashlight to shine in the car, but I didn't find it, and depending on the situation, the magic weapon should have flown outside with the previous car door being knocked open by that thing...
I went around to the opposite side, and sure enough, I found it inside the gutter. Under the flashlight, I saw that this was just an ordinary token. I was about to lean over to pick it up, when I suddenly noticed that there was a book pressed under the token...
The book looked very thick, as if it were a novel, covered with dry mud, hard, and half buried in the dirt at the bottom of the ditch. It seems that this should have been washed by the water from nowhere during the previous irrigation. I pulled the book out of the dirt, patted it a few times, scraped off the dry mud on the cover, and faintly saw the five big characters of 'Hu Zongnan, King of the Northwest'... I said in my heart, it's really not easy to write a book, and the reader will either tear up the wall after reading it, or throw it away as garbage... I shook my head, and was about to throw the book away, when suddenly my heart lit up...
"Ahh
"What's the matter, Brother Leng?"
I looked up and saw that Zhu Bin had come over at some point and was standing on the edge of the ditch.
"Look—" I shook the book.
"Martial arts secrets, cheats?"
I frowned, not wanting to waste my words with this idiot. Put the book back in its place, put the token up, just pressed against the word 'northwest' on the cover... The thing that helped me 'show the way', it turned out to be this...
"You carry Xiao Jiu on your back and follow me..."
Zhu Bin carried Xiao Jiu, I carried the bag of magic vessels, took the jar, locked the car, and from the location where I found the book, crossed the ditch, waded through the wheat waves, and headed northwest...
I didn't know what it was, but it was a dirty thing, and if it dared to come back and trouble us, I'd let it come and go...
Master told me that when I was walking in the direction of the Gate of Death, when I reached the distance, I would meet someone or thing that showed me the way, and I would follow the direction pointed out by that person or thing, and when I came to the staggered hours, I would see a place of stagnant water and dead fire, and that was the best place to cast a spell... I listened to the clouds in the fog, 'the time of the staggered hours' I know, the current is the ugly time, the next hour of the ugly time is the Yin time, the so-called 'time staggered', is the time when the ugly Yin intersects, about 2:55 to 3:05, this time period... But what is the 'Land of Dead Waters'? I can't figure it out even if I want to...
Looking at the time, it was not yet two o'clock, and by 2:55, there was still more than an hour. I opened the road in front, and Zhu Bin followed behind with Xiao Jiu on his back, walking unhurriedly. After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhu Bin asked me how long I would have to walk, and I glared back, and he didn't dare to say anything more. The night is thick, the sky is full of stars, and everywhere is quiet. Along the way, I passed through two villages, and the lights were dark and there was no movement.
This is going further and further away, looking at the time, it will take more than half an hour. I held the jar in one hand, folded the grass with the other, twisted it back and forth, and said in my heart, I don't know where they are now, Master, whether I will go to the appointment tomorrow night, and go to that planning area with that woman? … Thinking about it like this, I thought of Yu Xin and Ling Jitian again, I don't know how the two of them got along along the way, and then, I thought of the mysterious figure Gao Qien, who has always been a dragon...
Just thinking about it, Zhu Bin called me, "Brother Leng..."
"What?" I asked back.
"I'm leaving, I can't walk..."
I looked at the time, "Hold on a little longer, it's almost there..."
I stared at the time, walked for a while, and finally, at 2:55, we came to a large melon field. At the moment, the melons have not yet grown, and the fields are full of melon seedlings, so there is no one to guard them. As far as the eye can see, there is no 'dead water and dead fire' at all. After walking five minutes further, all of a sudden, I saw a clearing in front of me... Is that there?
"Zhu Bin, go quickly, follow me..."
As soon as I got to the front, I saw a well at the edge of the clearing. Ran to the well, with a flashlight to shine down, only to see the bottom of the well full of weeds, soaked in the rain at the bottom of the well, soaked in the sewage accumulated by the rain at the bottom of the well, a stream of mud and grass smell floated up, straight to the nose drilled, as for the wall of the well, it was full of green moss... It seems that this well has long been abandoned... I rejoiced, isn't this the so-called 'backwater'?! And what about 'dead fire'?
I stood up and shone my flashlight, and saw that the northwest corner of the clearing was black, as if it had been burned by fire... Dead Fire!
To make sure it wasn't it, I walked over and picked a little dirt with my hand and sniffed it, yes, it was burned by fire, this is it...
"Brother Leng, do you want to go?" Zhu Bin asked.
"No need, this is it, wait for you to cooperate with me to cast spells..."
As I spoke, I was about to get up when I swept the flashlight, when suddenly, I saw something plugged in about two or three meters away from me. Walking over to take a photo, it is three leftover incense sticks, which are inserted on the ground in a triangular shape, and in this triangle, there is a small piece of paper ash...
I stood up and looked eagerly at the night.
"What's wrong with Brother Leng?" Zhu Bin asked.
"It's him... He's been here..."
"He... Who is he? ”
I was stunned and said, "Gao Qien..."
The 'incense array' in front of us is exactly the same as the one we saw when we were in Taihang Mountain... Wan Jinshan said that Gao Qien had a problem, every time he sacrificed, he only burned a piece of paper and inserted incense into a triangular shape...
"Gao Qi - who is Qi En?" Zhu Bin asked.
"Huh?"
I came back to my senses and didn't answer him, just thinking, why did Gao Qien come here? … My heart moved, I looked at this dark place, and suddenly I understood! To be exact, I thought of Wanjin Mountain's story... Wan Jinshan said that at the beginning, he took advantage of Gao Qien's unpreparedness, knocked him unconscious, took him to a remote wilderness, threw him into a thatched house, poured gasoline, and set him on fire... Could it be that the place that Wanjin Mountain is talking about is here? …
I picked up the paper ashes in the 'incense array' and looked at it, it was very new, and I felt that it should be burned tonight, before we came...
I was in a trance, when I heard Zhu Bin say, "Brother Leng, there seems to be someone there!" ”
Person? … I was startled, and hurriedly got up to take a look, and sure enough, I saw a person faintly in the long grass in the distance, moving around, and I didn't know what he was doing...
(Happy weekend everyone)
