Chapter 18: The Mystery of Tsing Yi Town
"Let's go, it's going to be fine with me!"
I looked at Bai Ruoxue gently and said to her.
Bai Ruoxue looks particularly beautiful today, with her long and moving hair draped over her shoulders.
I reached out my right hand, grabbed her arm, and dragged her forward.
At this time, Zhou Shihao followed behind us.
In front of Tsing Yi Town, I saw a stone monument covered with moss on the side of the mountain road.
This stele looks old, and the stele is engraved with three words of Tsing Yi Town in red letters.
On the right hand side of the stele, there is a house with the door open to the stele.
On the door plaque, Tsing Yi Zhuang is written in big characters, which is very eye-catching.
The pillar under the plaque reads on the left, "Please do not enter." On the right side it is written, "Do not approach the living."
It looks very weird.
I saw the villagers here, regardless of age, men and women, all wearing green clothes.
I guess that's how Tsing Yi Town got its name.
The villagers saw the three of us as if they were aliens.
I saw them looking me and Zhou Shihao up and down.
At this moment, an old man came from behind the crowd.
The old man's sideburns were white, and his hands were crossed behind his back.
He walked to Bai Ruoxue's side, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoxue, are you back......"
"I'm back, Uncle Xiang!"
From Bai Xue's answer, I could see her fear.
Uncle Ruoxiang gave me a look, and he motioned for us to follow him.
At this time, Zhou Shihao, who was following behind, ran to my right hand and poked me with his finger.
Then he whispered to me: "The blood lotus here can cure the bat poison on your body." ”
I gave Zhou Shihao a look and motioned him to keep quiet.
Uncle Xiang took us into an old house, and in the old house, the furniture was neatly arranged, but it looked like it was some years old.
"Uncle Xiang, have you ever heard of the Blood Lotus?"
I asked Uncle Xiang with a hint of sincerity.
Uncle Xiang's face was gloomy: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, I heard that the blood lotus flower only grows in a gloomy and cold place in the heights." ”
I saw that Uncle Xiang didn't want to reveal too much, so I didn't continue to ask.
I thought to myself, since I came, the Blood Lotus must be found.
Due to the fatigue of the journey, I proposed to take a day off first, and Zhou Shihao and Bai Ruoxue agreed.
In a daze, I saw the white dragon again, coiled on the beam, and I woke up and sat on the bed.
This is the third time I have dreamed of it, and I looked up at the beams, which were exactly the same as in the dream.
I secretly thought in my heart, could it be that the white dragon I dreamed of was related to this Tsing Yi Town? How could Uncle Xiang know Bai Ruoxue?
The doubts in my heart are accumulating more and more.
At dawn, I was woken up by white snow.
I saw her wearing a green dress, and Bai Ruoxue saw that my face was full of doubts, and she smiled at me.
"What's so strange about this, I'm a villager in Tsing Yi Town myself!" her tone was a little playful.
"Since you are from Tsing Yi Town, you must know about the Blood Lotus, why don't you take me to find it?"
I looked at Bai Ruoxue and asked her.
Seeing Bai Ruoxue pause, she thought for a while.
"There is a cave at the top of the mountain, and there is a blood lotus growing in the cave, but that place is very evil, and there are evil things guarding it all year round. ”
You could see that she was a little scared when she lifted the cave.
"Can you show me there?"
Under my pleading, Bai Ruoxue finally mustered up the courage to nod.
The three of us walked towards the cave.
The mountain road became more and more rugged, and due to the huge amount of activity, pus and blood flowed from my wound again.
I was about to reach the top of the mountain.
"Ah......h
With a scream, I saw Zhou Shihao's feet slip and fall on the vine.
I ran quickly towards Zhou Shihao.
I reached out to help Zhou Shihao up and continued to move forward.
"Silk ...... Silk ......"
Hearing the voice, I jerked my head back.
Found behind. There are only tree vines.
I laughed to myself, maybe I was too sensitive.
Bai Ruoxue took us and continued to walk forward.
"Silk ...... Silk ......"
I hadn't walked a few steps before I heard the sound come again.
I thought to myself, no, we are far from the place where Zhou Shihao fell.
But why are there still vines? Could it be that they are following us all the time?
"Oh no, the vine has been following us. ”
I screamed.
The three of us quickened our pace.
The vine followed us and chased after us.
For a while, I only felt that it was difficult to breathe, my abdomen was tight, and Zhou Shihao and I were entangled in the vines and held in the air.
I saw Bai Ruoxue on the side take out a dagger, and she stabbed at the tree vine.
The strange thing is that the vine that was pierced by the dagger actually shed blood, and the scene was extremely strange.
Bai Ruoxue, a knife stabbed at the tree vine.
Maybe it was the vine that could feel the pain, and let go of me and Zhou Shihao and disappeared.
The three of us moved on!
"The blood lotus flower grows in that hole, you should be careful when you go in, that thing will make people hallucinate, the blood lotus, it can only be picked at the turn of night. ”
Bai Ruoxue pointed to the cave in front of her and said.
At this time, there was some fear on her face.
Didn't she plan to go in? I thought to myself.
I looked in the direction of Bai Ruoxue's finger.
A hole can be seen in the weeds.
"I'm waiting for you outside the cave......"
After speaking, Bai Ruoxue looked at me.
"Are you sure you won't get in?"
I felt a touch of loss.
"Come in!"
Seeing Bai Ruoxue's firm attitude, I grabbed Zhou Shihao's arm and walked towards the cave.
"You follow me, leave me alone if there is a situation, and retreat ......"
I turned my head and said to Zhou Shihao behind me.
The further you go in, the narrower the path inside the cave becomes, and below you is an abyss.
Zhou Shihao and I walked cautiously, there was sunlight ahead, and I guessed that the roof of the cave should be open.
Suddenly, a cloudy wind blew, and I shivered a little.
Ahead, an ancient tree, leading to the top of the cave, has crimson leaves, as if it has been stained with blood.
The ancient tree is full of fruits that resemble chili peppers, gloves, and so on.
Next to the ancient tree, there is a huge stone monument with a dragon-shaped pattern carved on it, which looks lifelike.
There was a light on the upper right side of the ancient tree, and I looked down the stone steps and saw a lotus flower, bright red in color, and from time to time it emitted a dazzling red light.
"Blood Lotus ......," Zhou Shihao exclaimed.
I saw that the blood lotus was unusually huge, full of adult men, and its arms were so thick.
As the petals opened, the blood lotus flower emitted a faint fragrance.
Seeing Zhou Shihao's eyes brighten, holding a shotgun in his hand, he walked to Bailong's side and fired a few shots, and then fired two more shots at himself, and for a while blood splashed everywhere and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Three artillery, three artillery......"
Faintly, I heard someone calling me.
The voice grew clearer and clearer, and my mind cleared up.
I saw that Zhou Shihao was standing under me with an anxious face.
Before I knew it, I was already standing at the top of the stone steps, next to the Blood Lotus.
"Three cannons, what were you doing just now?"
Zhou Shihao, who was below, looked at me with a puzzled look and said.
"I'm hallucinating!"
I looked at Zhou Shihao below and shouted.
Zhou Shihao looked at me, he pouted his hands, looking helpless.
Whenever the blood lotus flower and the petals open, there will be a wave of cold air.
"Three Artillery ......"
Zhou Shihao shouted to me.
I looked at Zhou Shihao, only to see that his face was solemn, and he pointed to himself with his finger, and then pointed to my position.
Zhou Shihao, signal me to come up.
"Be careful!"
I instructed him.
"Wow, this is the legendary Snow Lotus?" Zhou Shihao looked surprised.
He was about to reach out and touch the Blood Lotus, but I stopped him.
"Shihao, Bai Ruoxue said that the blood lotus can only be picked at the turn of night, not to mention that this thing can make people hallucinate, it's better to be careful!"
Zhou Shihao nodded repeatedly.
"Three cannons, you say, how to pick this blood lotus?"
"It should be uprooted, right?"
"No, this thing is unusually huge, just the two of us?"
"Let's try it!" After speaking, I looked at Zhou Shihao.
