Chapter 6: Deep in the Bamboo Forest
"Master, are you sure you want me to accompany you in?" An leisurely swallowed his saliva with difficulty and confirmed again.
"What do you mean?" Shizi asked with a slight brow.
"The minion thinks that whether I go or not is not a big problem." An smiled leisurely, "Isn't he already with you?" ”
"Him?" Shizi followed the direction of An Youran's finger and saw Tang Ning, who had fallen to the ground trembling. "Do you think he could?"
"Absolutely!" An leisurely patted his chest, "Tang Ning is the famous big brother among our subordinates, and he is nicknamed Tang Daring!" Master, put a hundred and twenty hearts! ”
"But...... "Shizi's beautiful eyes stared at An Youran, "he was trembling." ”
"That's right!" An leisurely raised his thumb at Tang Ning, and said excitedly: "Master, you think that ordinary people are afraid in this situation, but they should also be strong and calm!" But Tang Ning is different, he is a real master! He even calculates the psychology of the enemy, the so-called virtual is real, and the real is virtual. He deliberately used this behavior of trembling with fear to confuse the enemy, hide our strength, and finally achieve the goal of surprising victory! You have this master to help the array, are you still worried that you can't win against Luo Han? ”
"The conclusion?" Shizi straightened his sleeves and prepared to go.
"The conclusion is - master, you take Tang Ning to break through! Minions and brethren will have your back! We disturb the minds of the other people in the rear, and we will scare them out of their minds! After An leisurely finished speaking, he jumped away from the side of the prince and hid among the guards in charge of the scary.
"I remember someone saying that the duty of a squire is to be by his master's side, right?" Shizi's eyes flashed with coldness, "Are you trying to derelict your duties?" ”
"Those who derelict their duties will be flogged and stab......bed," Tang Ning raised his already pale face, and added at the right time.
"Of course not!" When An Youran heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over again. "The slave is afraid that he will be stupid and drag down the master, so he can't say it. Since the master does not dislike the slave, the little one should go all out. ”
"Bajie and Tang Ning, follow me to the starting point." Shizi waved his wrist, "The rest of the people, enter the bamboo forest according to the plan and stand by at any time!" ”
At this point, it is useless to say more. An Youran and Tang Ning followed behind Shizi to the east of the bamboo forest, while Luo Hanji and the two chief guards waited here for a long time.
"Xiao An doesn't seem to be very happy!" As soon as Luo Han saw An Youran, he put on a fox-like smile, and said half-jokingly: "If you admit defeat, I will ask Li Yan for a favor to replace you now." ”
"Does that bet need to be cashed out?" An leisurely squinted at Luo Han's ill-intentioned expression.
"It's nature! The big husband has always made a promise! Luo Han half-covered his mouth and smiled, "How can I bear to trap you as an unrighteous person for my brother?" ”
I've seen a lot of shameless people, but I haven't seen such a shameless person! An leisurely greeted Luo Han's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "Luo Gongzi is really thinking about the villain!" How can the villain live up to Brother Luo's lift? Give it a go! It's just that if you lose by then, it will be Luo Gongzi, then ......"
An leisurely face flashed a grim smile, "Don't blame the villain, I'm ......"
"It's good, it's good," the corners of Luo Han's lips rose, "Let's see who killed the deer!" ”
"Looks like you two have a deal in private?" Shizi interrupted the two who were facing each other in a cold voice, "Is there anything hidden from us?" ”
"Slave ......" An Youran was about to make up a reason to prevaricate, but he didn't expect Luo Han to answer first.
"Li Yan, I made an appointment with Xiao An, if anyone loses in this courage test meeting, they will be dealt with by the other party!" After speaking, he laughed, "I have never met anyone who dares to compete with my Luo Han, you squire is really interesting!" ”
"You bet?" The prince stared at An Youran with cold eyes.
"This ......" An Youran was stared at by him in a cold sweat, bowed his head and said timidly: "The slave also said casually, who knew that Young Master Luo was so serious?" ”
"You mean it's all his reason?" Shizi asked in a calm voice.
"yes, yes!" An leisurely chick nodded again and again, "The villain is completely innocent!" ”
"Whether it's innocent or not...... Shizi's body exudes a cold aura, "It's a felony to transgress one's identity." I want you to look good when I go back! ”
"What's so troublesome?" Luo Han walked up to An Youran and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, "When I win, let Xiao An see my methods immediately!" ”
Looking at Luo Han's bewitching smile, An Youran only felt that his scalp was numb, and the conversation between the prince and Luo Han at this time dragged his mood to the bottom.
"You killed him, and it was very troublesome for me to find a new attendant." Shizi said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry," Luo Han replied after a moment's thought, "Is it okay to be half dead?" ”
What the! Is this called contempt? Could it be that he is so useless in the eyes of these two people!? An leisurely folded his sleeves in annoyance and angrily, and shouted loudly: "Master! This bet is a willing to fight and a willing to suffer! In case the slave is not talented and wins Luo Gongzi by luck, can the slave be spared for the crime of overstepping, and Luo Gongzi will abide by the gambling contract? ”
"I don't have a problem here!" Luo Han smiled a little sarcastically, "But there are already people in your team who are so scared that they can't stand up, right?" You still dare to speak so confidently, Luo really admires! ”
An leisurely 'swooped' and dragged Tang Ning, who was squatting on the ground, and said with a hideous face: "You cheer me up!" Anyway, you're in the team by lot! If you dare to embarrass us and vent our morale with a waste of firewood, I will let you spread the good deeds you have done! What Guilan, Chunhong, Xiu'er...... I will express these romantic things clearly in every detail! ”
"Don't! - Tang Ning screamed in fright, "Bajie, I feel full of courage and clean now, I will definitely be obedient and work hard to win glory for the team!" ”
"Hmmm! Good boy! An leisurely touched Tang Ning's head in front of him with satisfaction, "Remember to win, if you lose, all what you just said will be fulfilled!" ”
"It's not too early," Shizi looked up at the moonlight, "Let's get started!" ”
"Good!" Luo Han nodded, "Let's go!" See who can have the last laugh! ”
The bamboo forest in the middle of the night is deep and eerie, and the dense bamboo sea blocks out the moonlight, making it dark as far as the eye can see. The mist that drifts from the surface of the lake from time to time adds to the eerie atmosphere.
"Eight...... Warn! Tang Ning trembled and stretched out his hand to grab An Youran's arm, "That...... If the one that Aunt Wang said...... What should we do if we appear? ”
"What's this? …… You hold it for me first! An leisurely handed the lantern in his hand to Tang Ning, and then took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms, "As long as you have this, there will be no problem!" You can't get close to the demons and monsters with this one! ”
"Bajie, you are really a good person!" Tang Ning choked up and said, "It turned out to be the heart of the Bodhisattva, I really shouldn't have misunderstood you all the time!" After speaking, he reached out to take the Buddha beads that An Youran was holding in his hand.
"Alas, ̄ slowly!" An Youran skillfully dodged his hand sideways, "Have you heard of a saying called equivalent exchange?" ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Ning asked inexplicably.
"It seems that you are really scared stupid," An leisurely looked at Tang Ning with pity, "This Buddha bead, I asked for it at a high price, especially if there are high-ranking monks who have opened it, shouldn't you mean it?" ”
"Ah ̄" Tang Ning suddenly patted his head, "Bajie, let's say, how much silver?" ”
"Ten taels!" An replied without thinking about it.
"Ten taels! Why don't you grab it! Downing exclaimed.
"It's too expensive, you don't want it." An said indifferently, "Ah, I remember what Aunt Wang said?" The ghost of seven thieves and bleeding in white is constantly floating, and his mouth is reading: Come back, lady......"
"Don't ...... That's it! Tang Ning's frightened tongue knotted, "I'll give, I'll give, can't you?" ”
Holding the ten taels of silver given by Tang Ning, An Youran was so happy that he was trembling and stuffing money into the money bag. But I didn't want a gloomy voice behind me: "You are very bold......"
"Oh my god!" An leisurely screamed and squatted down.
"Calm down! It's me! ”
"Master?" An leisurely finally calmed his mind before he saw the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help complaining, "The slave told you before!" Don't scare the minions! First, the slave can't stand the fright, and second, it's an extraordinary time, and the slave really has to have a good one, and it just makes the relatives hate the enemy laugh, which helps Luo Han's prestige! ”
"Don't you have a Buddha bead that has been opened by a high monk? Why are you afraid? Shizi asked mockingly.
"That's not ......" halfway through the words, An Youran was shocked that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed the conversation, "Even so, I can't stand the malicious fright of others!" ”
"Shouldn't you be saying: Isn't that just an ordinary Buddha bead on a stall for a penny or two?" Shizi brushed aside the bamboo branches in front of him and continued to walk forward.
"How do you know!?" An leisurely blurted out an exclamation. Suddenly remembered Tang Ning, who was accompanying him, and turned his head to look, fortunately he was wearing Buddhist beads not far away, and he didn't hear it.
"The ghost story told by the innkeeper was also arranged by you, right?" Shi Zimei looked back at him with lowered eyes, "You have always been a sheep-like tiger skin, and you are even more in awe of ghosts and gods." How can you still be calm when you listen to something terrible? I was wondering, but I saw that many of the guards were wearing the same beads, so I was suspicious. As soon as I saw you sell to Tangning, I was sure of it! Bajie, you really have a way to make money. ”
"The master is wise." An Youran's face was thicker than the city wall, "The slave has no other hobbies, just like to take advantage of some loopholes and make some small money, so you can raise your noble hand and close your eyes." And the minions are never forced to buy and sell, they are all chasing the minions, crying and shouting and begging the minions to sell! Speaking of which, the minions are also forced to be helpless. ”
Shizi snorted coldly, "After hearing such a sensational thing, do they dare not buy it?" ”
An leisurely pretended to smirk and said, "This is also to set off the atmosphere of the Courage Test Conference!" They don't have talent themselves, they have to be afraid, what can I do? I can only do good deeds and get some Buddha beads to calm their hearts! This is also a merit! ”
"You're so thick-skinned!" Shizi concluded.
"I ......" An Youran was about to refute, but suddenly heard a heart-rending shout from the direction where Tang Ning was.
The two hurriedly turned around to see that An Youran was almost scared to death! Under the dim light, there was a white phantom standing beside Tang Ning, his hair was scattered, covered in blood, and the bright red tongue sticking out of his mouth was more than two feet long! At this time, he was stretching out his claws and pinching Tang Ning!
"Check it out!" Before An leisurely pulled his legs and ran away, Shizi had already taken his collar and flew out.
Before they landed, the two of them were still in mid-air, and the prince threw An Youran over like a cannonball. An Youran, who was still in a stupid state because he couldn't react, didn't remember to scream loudly because he was afraid when he found the enlarged white figure in front of him!
"Bang!" hit the target with a bang, and An Youran only felt that his eyes were full of stars, and his whole body fell apart in pain. Just wanted to scold, but suddenly remembered the environment, and immediately a spirit jumped up, turned around and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily on the white ghost again.
An Youran suddenly knew that the situation was not good, so he had to close his eyes tightly and resign himself to fate, but he heard a muffled snort from under him.
Ghost...... Does it hurt too? An Youran suddenly doubted in her heart, isn't it ......? He quickly rolled over and sat up, daring to pull away the demon's face-covering hair.
"Su Chen?!" While An leisurely exclaimed, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Chen took off the fake tongue stuck in his mouth, stroked the aching chest that was hit, and said with difficulty, "People are not scared, but they almost took their lives!" Xiao An, your side team is really powerful! ”
An leisurely pulled Su Chen to stand up, glanced at Tang Ning, who was already unconscious when he was pressed to the bottom, and said dejectedly, "It's not that you weren't scared, but you fainted to death!" Angrily kicked Tang Ning, "Bai has grown so big, and his courage is not as big as a grain of rice!" So unfrightening, look at me when I go back and want you to look good! ”
"You screamed so loudly just now!" Shizi poured An leisurely cold water hard.
"I was trying to get the enemy's attention!" An leisurely glanced at Shizi, and said aggrievedly, "Master, how can you misunderstand the minion?" ”
"Then congratulations," Shizi closed his eyes as if listening to something, "Your exclamation just now has caught Luo Han's attention!" He's heading this way. According to the rules of the game, your shouting just now is already a sign of fear, and you have already lost! ”
An leisurely thought for a while and asked, "Master, can you hear how many people are left in Luo Han's team?" ”
"One person." Shizi replied affirmatively.
"That's good, he is the only one left in the Luo Han team, and we still have a master here, and it is a draw of one to one!" An leisurely showed a demonic smile, "As long as we kill Luo Han, we will definitely win!" Master, the slave has a clever plan......"
When Luo Han arrived at the place of screaming, what a tragic scene came into view? The ground is full of wolves, and it seems that it has experienced a fierce fight. In the distance, a man lay face down, unable to distinguish between life and death. And An Youran was lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, and his coat was already in tatters.
"Xiao An," Luo Han hurriedly ran to An leisurely and helped her up, "What's the matter?" ”
"Luo Han ......" An Youran's mouth spurted blood, "We...... By...... Raid....... ”
"Oh?" Luo Han carefully observed An Youran's expression with a questioning expression.
"Su Chen......" An looked at the unknown person lying on the ground weakly, and said with concern, "He wanted to save me... I don't know what's going on? ”
Although he was suspicious, Luo Han still got up and walked to the motionless man on the ground. With the help of the faint light of the lantern, it was vaguely seen that it was indeed the costume that Su Chen was wearing in the evening. He called at the man twice, but there was no response, so he took the pulse to check, and there was no breath at all. Luo Han was shocked in his heart, and was about to be sure, but he heard An Youran behind him let out a miserable scream!
"Don't!" An Youran didn't know when a long sword was inserted in his body, and a mysterious black shadow quietly appeared beside him.
"Who are you?" Luo Han shouted.
The black shadow didn't say a word, only raised his hand and pointed behind Luo Han, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and weird. Luo Han took the opportunity to look back, and saw a person standing behind him, raising the lantern in his hand to shine a photo: this person's face was miserable green, and two lines of bright red blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his appearance was extremely terrifying, but his facial features were delicate and familiar.
Luo Han's brows furrowed, and when he was trying to recall the identity of this person, the man cried in a bleak voice: "Young Master Luo, I died so miserably. ”
"Su Chen! ——" Luo Han couldn't help but shout in shock, "Aren't you dead!?" ”
