Chapter 16: The Valley of the Devil
Chapter 16: The Valley of the Devil
The Devil's Valley is overgrown with weeds, and although the mountains on both sides are not high and show a certain slope, they give people a very oppressive feeling, just like a cloudy day covered by dark clouds, which makes people's chests feel tight and breathless.
The rocks on both sides are sometimes prominent, sometimes concave, and the strange rocks are even more dazzling and irritable.
In the weeds of the valley, there are many animal bones, these white bones are hidden in the knee-high weeds, and it is difficult to find them without careful attention, and it seems that these animals have been dead here for a long time.
Zhang Hefang and others laboriously opened up a small area of relatively flat and open land, pulled out the weeds, removed the bones of the animals, and then used the weeds to raise a bonfire.
Everyone dug out the dry food in their backpacks - compressed biscuits as always, but luckily everyone had two cans of canned beef in their backpacks. The old python couldn't wait to open a can and eat it in a big gulp.
By the time they had all eaten enough, a waning moon had appeared in the sky above the valley, and from time to time there were the roars of wild beasts and the chirping of insects from deep in the mountains.
Everyone began to discuss the round of vigil, Zhang Hefang and the one-eyed old man agreed that the old python's mental condition was not very good, so let him sleep well this night and not let him keep the vigil.
The old python was naturally happy about such a decision, but Bin Zi was very unhappy when he saw such a situation, and he said with some unconvincing: "Why can he not have a vigil when he is a dead fat man?" What's going on? ”
Zhang Hefang comforted: "We are acting in this deep mountain and old forest, we can't pay attention to what is fair and unfair in everything, if there is any person who is not in good shape, the rest of us will share the burden and let everyone adjust their state to the best, otherwise, we will only encounter more trouble in the later trip." ”
"It's not reliable!" Binzi said: "What if this dead fat man has been making excuses, which of us won't work hard this time?" It's ridiculous that he can enjoy this kind of treatment alone, let's come to investigate, it's not a travel friend who is playing in the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't have the ability to do anything in the first place, so it's better not to come. ”
Qin Ye looked at Binzi a little abnormal, and said: "Oh, Binzi, don't hold on to one thing again, the old python knows a lot, on Kunlun Mountain, there are countless evil ghosts, without him, we will also encounter a lot of inconveniences." ”
"Oh, you mean that someone like me is only worthy of being a laborer?" Bin Zi said.
Zhang Hefang was a little angry when he saw Binzi's reaction, and said: "Binzi, what do you mean by saying such things, our team is strictly selected, and no one is dispensable. ”
Bin Zi snorted coldly and said, "Is that really the case, I think you seem to value some people more." ”
The old python looked at Binzi and didn't give up, dropped the canned beef in his hand, stood up, and roared: "Okay, are you fucking finished?" I used to be a man when you were a man, how can you be like a girl today, grinding and chirping, a dead fat man, put your mouth clean, Lao Tzu is the vigil. ”
"Okay, okay," Qin Ye dissuaded: "Let's say a few words, it was all good at the beginning, how did it become like this." Old python, you don't have to say a word. ”
"Whew!" The old python scolded: "He scolded me over there for a long time, why can't I say two words, don't be a peacemaker here." ”
Qin Ye was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Why is this still related to me?" ”
"What's wrong with you," shouted the old python, "if you want to say incompetent, you will be counted in the ranks!" Everyone calls you Qin Ye in the face of your seniority, but you, Qin Ye, have done a few things, the boss sent you out to go out a few times, and you didn't complete the task once, don't fucking rely on the old and sell the old anymore. ”
When Qin Ye heard this, he was not happy, and said, "I rely on the old and sell the old? Hehe, who in the world doesn't know the way, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Nanwu, you need strength, when I used to work for Nanwu, you were still a hunter who didn't enter the stream. When I was doing things for Zhang Hefang, you hadn't joined Nanwu yet. ”
The old python snorted coldly and said, "It is estimated that the boss also sees that you are old, so he will send you some simple and safe tasks, otherwise, why didn't you come to that trip in Sichuan." ”
"I have other things I need to do." Qin Ye said.
The old python said: "Forget it, I estimate that if you go to Sichuan, your death may be even more ugly than Xiao Xia, and maybe you will be the first to die." ”
Zhang Hefang stepped forward and said: "Enough, old python, I have already said, don't mention the trip to the ancient Shu Kingdom of Sichuan." ”
"Don't mention it? What can't you mention? The old python turned his face and said: "Is it that those tasks that have been successfully completed are going to be sung repeatedly, but such miserable tasks can't be said?" Boss, failure is failure, it's useless for you to cover up, it's better to face it directly. ”
Zhang Hefang said: "I never said that I wanted to cover up the failure of that mission, I just don't want you to mention those who died again." As I said before, we people in Nanwu exist for the resurrection of the Wuzong, and we must always be ready to sacrifice our lives for the Wuzong. ”
Bin Zi said: "Boss, don't say such things, why should we sacrifice our own lives for the resurrection of a person?" ”
When Zhang Hefang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then became angry and said, "Binzi, don't forget, you are a member of Nanwu!" This is our faith. ”
Bin Zi said: "I haven't forgotten, I believe in Wuzong, not the Fan Peixi who is dragging his feet." ”
When Bin Zi said this, the spearhead was pointed at Fan Peixi, who was sitting on the side and had a headache from such a quarrel.
The old python stood on Binzi's side this time and said: "That's right, Fan Peixi, this guy, always looks innocent, in the final analysis, he is the one who drags his feet the most, he can't help anything, and he always causes danger." ”
Fan Peixi had already been holding a fire in her belly, and said, "What do you call the danger I provoke? We didn't go down the same route with you when we entered the priest's burial pit in the ancient Shu Kingdom. Do you think I want to participate in these things with you? Aren't I also forced to be helpless, besides, you say I'm useless, is the giant priest at the entrance of the dungeon settled by you? ”
The one-eyed old man said: "Mr. Fan is the Heavenly Imperial Attendant, we must take him with us when we act, and he also showed us the power of the vessel, only he can freely use the power in the Spirit Extraction Demon Jade. ”
All of a sudden, the gang was arguing, and the originally united team began to clash over a small matter.
Just when everyone was arguing, Long Bujin, who had always been quiet and quiet, suddenly shouted, "Don't quarrel! ”
Everyone was stunned, and immediately focused their eyes on Long Bujin.
Long Bujin looked at them and said, "Don't you think something is wrong, think about what Alabati said before. ”
Bu Jin's reminder made the others instantly remember something, and for a while, the originally hot minds of these people cooled down in an instant as if they had suddenly been splashed with a basin of cold water.
Everyone seems to have remembered something.
That's what Alabati once said to them - there are no devils in the Devil's Valley, but whoever enters the valley will eventually become devils.
- No matter how many people there are in the team, only one person can come out of the Devil's Valley, as the rest of the team will start to kill each other like crazy.
Everyone also reflected, not only looked at each other, although their hearts were still very manic, and there was always a sense of uneasiness eager to try, but they had already sensed something between each other.
Several of them, since they entered this valley, often quarreled with each other over trivial matters, and the things that passed by with a smile on weekdays seemed to be enough to make a person start to kill.
Zhang Hefang was silent for a while, looked at the dark valley rocks, and muttered, "There is indeed something wrong with this valley. ”
