The insects are like leeches that stretch out, but they gnaw a hundred times more than those creatures in the water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the first worm broke through the barrier of the umbrella and landed on top of the old man's head, his body twisted and was already submerged in his gray hair.
"Where is that man?" were the last words the old man spoke. Immediately, more worms fell from the umbrella bone, enveloping his head and face.
"Big brother, don't look at it. "Even in this moment of life and death, Chu Chu still had time to take care of my feelings, grabbed my arm, and made me turn around.
The scene of Gu worms eating people was extremely tragic, but the old man killed the Blood Gall Gu Woman half an hour ago, and he was also splashed with blood in five steps, and his methods were ruthless.
This is retribution, retribution in this world, which comes quickly.
"This is the first one, the big war has not yet begun, and the small war has already been short-handed. Chu Chu explained lightly.
Revenge gave a little catharsis to her anger, but her eyes and expression hardened coldly, leaving no smile.
"As long as you have peace of mind. I let out a long sigh.
"Big brother, after Miao Jiang Gu Refiner became famous, he rarely killed indiscriminately, because these Gu worms are not easy to cultivate, just like a wasp stinging, once the stinger comes out, his own life will be guaranteed. We have left the enemy alive, but the enemy will not leave us alive. These people, only killing them in one fell swoop is the best countermeasure. I only hope that this battle will not ruin the image I am in your heart. After the killing, Chu Chu was a little sentimental.
"That old man deserves it, and you're doing the right thing. I comforted her.
Behind me, the rustle of the mulberry leaves rang out for seven or eight minutes, and then fell silent.
Since Chu Chu said "no corpses will be left", the fate of the old man must be like this.
This is the first time I have seen Chu Chu's Gu Skill strength, in fact, according to her identity, once she participates in the war, I am afraid that she can stir up a bloody storm at any time. War is so cruel, killing or being killed, taking someone's life or being asked for by someone else, it's all a proposition of choosing one or the other, and there is no room for accommodation. On the other hand, if Chu Chu hadn't ambushed the worms first, we would all have died under the old man's "sword in the hand".
"Shall we go back?" I asked.
Chu Chu shook his head slowly: "No, this is just a prelude to the battle, the enemy is already approaching the door, and we can't leave if we want to." ”
The reed door had fallen silent, but I could hear the ticking of an old clock just after it had been wound.
Aunt Guan's "Nine Lives" are analyzed by the prism of the "Mirror Room", if I call Mrs. Zhu, I will be able to know who those people are, and I can help Chu Chu take precautions.
Chu Chu bent down slightly and put his ear to my chest.
She seemed to be using the means of "listening" to perceive my heart, and then explained in a low voice: "Big brother, don't think about me, I contacted Mrs. Zhu earlier than you, in order to understand the inside story of the 'Mirror Room' and build a frontier position. Now, even if we get the photos and videos of 'Nine Lives', we only get the most superficial impression, and it is impossible to know more. They lurk in the body of the psychic lady, it must be for some special purpose, not something we can understand. My suggestion is that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy moves, I will kill him, and I will not tolerate it, let alone show mercy. ”
I stretched out my arms and wrapped my arms around Chu Chu's body.
Her body temperature seemed to drop quite a bit, and when my arm touched her back, it was as if I was holding a treasure knife that had been silent for a long time.
"Chu Chu, I want you to get out of the 'Mirror Room' alive. The sun is shining outside, life is infinitely better, you are still so young, you really shouldn't take on too much responsibility for the rivers and lakes-" When I said this, I couldn't help but lose my voice and shut up helplessly.
I haven't forgotten that Chu Chu is the descendant of King Chu of Miao Jiang and the leader of all Gu Alchemists. She naturally shoulders all the responsibilities of the king of Miaojiang, and she can't be relieved of it for the rest of her life. Such a girl should be extraordinary by nature, so it is impossible for me to comfort her with worldly words.
"Big brother, it's good to have you. I've just heard it, and I'm in your heart. Chu Chu stretched out his right index finger and lightly drew an egg-sized circle on my left chest, and then wrote the word "Chu Chu" in that circle.
"Of course you're in my heart. I responded to her gently.
"I also heard that I was the first person to write my name on your heart. Even though Sister Tang Wan knew you earlier, she didn't do it like me. It's good, it's good, I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied......" Chu Chu sighed and buried his face in my chest again, "Big brother, it's impossible for a person to remember too many people's names in his life, I only hope that in the future, no matter how many girls you have in your heart, don't remove my name." I want the word 'Chu Chu' to always be in that position, forever, until death. ”
I felt her infatuation, and the pity for her in my heart deepened by more than a dozen layers, and I responded softly: "I promise you, forever, until death." ”
"Tick, tick, tick", the sound of the clock's hands moving louder and louder, suddenly passed through the reed door and fluttered behind me.
I turned around, and the old man and the worm were gone, and there was an old man in front of me, wearing old-fashioned glasses, an old-fashioned gray robe, with a rickety back and messy hair.
In his left hand was a yellowed pocket watch, the chain of which was only halfway down, dangling from his palm and reverberating in the air.
"Time is really delicate, day and night change, rushing like water. There are countless wonderful things in the world, and the strangest one that Lao Yu has ever seen is such a small moonlight treasure mirror. Time passes through the mirror, and I have two different periods of time, and if I continue to repeat this, I will no longer be dying and aging, and I will be able to live on both sides of the mirror. Wonderful, wonderful......"
The voice of the pocket watch was crisp and hypnotic.
What surprised me even more was that he was also holding something in his right hand, which hung down from his waist. The thing seemed to glow automatically, and a few silver rays of light were shining between his fingers.
"What's that?" Chu Chu was more anxious than me, and immediately asked loudly.
"What is it?" the old man asked rhetorically.
"What are you holding in your right hand?" I added.
The old man raised his right hand, fingers parted, and pinched the thing with only his thumb and forefinger.
I can't put it into words, it looked like a dry pancake, about half the size of an adult's palm, almost half a moon shaped. Its surface is silver, but it is different from silver foil or silver-plated things, because the silver light is emitted from the inside out, and its light and luster are similar to those of a frosted light bulb when it is energized.
A silver, ultra-thin sheet that emits light - that's the approximate conclusion I can give it.
"What is it?" I asked again.
In the face of these strange things, human language is really pale.
The old man did not answer, but brought his two hands closer together and made a gesture similar to magic, inserting the pocket watch in his left hand into the silver piece in his right hand. Because the pocket watch had a chain, and after the watch body passed through the silver plate, the chain dragged behind it, proving that the clock was passing through the silver plate.
It's a strange move, but in today's world of close-up magic shows, it's no surprise that any magic trick like a volley is in vogue.
I held my breath as I watched the pocket watch pass through the silver plate completely. In other words, when the old man was doing this action, he made a natural exchange of things in his left and right hands.
"Voices, two voices!" Chu Chu cried.
Sound is the key to this magic change, because when the old man's pocket watch is handed to his right hand and the silver piece is handed to his left hand, I can clearly hear two identical "ticks" in my ears.
This kind of change is extremely scary to think about.
The silver piece had the magical function of replicating sound, making the "ticking" sound of the hands of the clock change from one to two.
When this change occurred, Chu Chu and I both seemed to be immobilized, staring at the silver piece and unable to say a word.
"Can anyone tell me why?" the old man muttered.
"Old ...... What are you holding in your hand, sir, and where does this treasure come from?" I came back to my senses.
"Moonlight Mirror, that's what I gave it. Where did it come from? Chairman Han's great treasure trove contains rare treasures, what is this? I regret it to this day, why did I take it instead of carrying a box of small yellow croakers out?" the old man smiled stupidly, held up the silver piece, and looked up, "When I saw it, it was pasted on the four screens of silver silk Suzhou embroidery. That night, the devil soldiers came to the city, and all the people carrying guns ran south, and there was no one in the chairman's mansion, only me. I opened the great treasure trove and took whatever I wanted, but I fell in love with it. But that's fine, and the days to come won't be lonely. The most fascinating thing in the world is the puzzle that can't be solved, if I can't solve it, I won't give up, and if the heart doesn't die, I can't die, hehe, hehe......"
I hadn't heard of it before, let alone seen it, but if what the old man said was true, it would be easy to figure out where he came from.
The so-called "Chairman Han" must be the leader of the great warlord who once ruled Jinan, and when the Japanese invaders came, he abandoned the city and fled south, and finally died under the wrath of the Führer. This old man is supposed to be the butler of the chairman's mansion or something, so he has the key to the great treasure house. Of course, this man's character is also debatable, and while everyone was trembling and waiting for the invading army to enter the city, he took advantage of the chaos to open the treasure vault and take this thing out.
"What the hell is that?" I thought of the silver light in the water of the underground supermarket when Goshu Feitian disappeared from the strange silver light that emanated from the thing.
It must not be an ordinary thing, but why did it end up in Chairman Han's treasure trove?
During the war years, the major forces were constantly fighting, and the accumulation of financial and material resources also followed the law of the Matthew effect, that is, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.
At that time, the Han family in the land of Qilu was dominant, so any treasures gathered to his chairman's mansion. Even if he is not greedy, his subordinates, cronies, and aides will have various purposes to help him amass treasures, and they will not miss any opportunity to make a fortune.
"Give it to me. Chu Chu walked around me and strode towards the old man.
In the face of an old man who is old and old, she doesn't have to drive the Gu worm, even if she grabs it empty-handed, she will probably be able to succeed.
"Do you know what this is?" the old man stepped back, not wanting to be at the mercy of Chuchu.
"Of course I know, give it to me. Chu Chu walked faster and faster, forcing the old man to the corner of the wall in front of the right.
Suddenly, I saw the old man swaying and falling on his back. Originally, in that situation, Chu Chu could lean over and grab the silver piece after taking a few quick steps. But the old man suddenly became two people—yes, I saw it very clearly, and when he put the silver piece on the Baihui acupoint above his head, one became two, exactly the same on the left and right, like twins dressed in the same clothes.
Chu Chu was stunned, he forgot the purpose of approaching the old man, and just stood in a daze.
"It's the most peculiar thing, but I don't know what it's for?" the old man rolled on the ground and rolled over to his feet.
"What's the use?" I asked myself.
In the realm of modern technology, there are many ways to turn one object into two. If it is a flat material, only a photocopier is needed to do it, and for three-dimensional objects, the technology of three-dimensional printing and three-dimensional modeling can also be done. It's just that the current technology of human beings can only reproduce solids without vitality and thought, such as the reproduction of sound and the reproduction of the human body is still only in the stage of theoretical deduction.
The so-called "Moonlight Treasure Mirror" held in the old man's hand is an instrument that can perfectly replicate anything.
I'm not a greedy person, but anyone with business acumen will see it and think that it can bring great wealth to people and dwarf all the science and technology of the 21st century.
"It doesn't belong here, and if you're willing to give it to me, I can grant you anything. "I took three horizontal steps and preemptively sealed the entrance and exit of the ground spring door.
"I don't have any demands, I just want someone to tell me, what the hell is it?" the old man was extremely stubborn.
"I can't tell you the answer right now, but give me some time and I'll get to the bottom of it. I immediately explained to him.
"In that case, I might as well take him and ask Chairman Han. "The old man is sober for a while, confused for a while.
Chairman Han has been dead for almost 80 years, and his bones are rotten to ashes, where to ask him?
As he moved towards the reed door, the shadow he had just conjured up was gone, leaving him alone.
I suspect that this change is similar to a mirage, where only the change of light and shadow appears, and there is no substantial "second person" coming out.
"Please stay. I opened my arms and turned my back to the door to block his way.
"Leave that thing behind. Chu Chu came from behind him.
At the moment, no matter what means we use, we have to leave the silver piece, although it was named "Moonlight Treasure Mirror" by the old man himself, but I believe that it is definitely related to the legendary "Divine Water Mirror".
"Hehehehehe, you'll never get it, never!" a woman's laughter rang out from behind me.
I hurriedly dodged to the side and stood side by side with Chu Chu.
At the entrance to the reed door, a woman in a black leather trench coat stood against the door frame, her hands in the pockets of her trench coat.
"You're too anxious to want to know where he came from?" the woman squinted at me.
The old man hurriedly stepped through the spring door and walked out by the woman's side.
"From ...... The prism comes, from the soul decomposition machine. That's my answer.
"That's right, think about it, he is not even afraid of death, what other means can you threaten him?" said the woman, "Why don't you take something out and exchange it for the same price?"
I shook my head because I didn't have anything to do.
"Then it can't be helped. The woman raised her hand and lifted the collar of her trench coat to cover half of her face.
"Do we know each other?" I felt a sense of déjà vu as I looked at her silhouette.
"Maybe, anyway, many people in this world will meet if they are destined, but at different times and places. She replied.
"What's that old man carrying?" I knew it had to do with the Divine Mirror, but I couldn't accurately summarize the relationship.
"I don't know. The woman replied leisurely, "The truth is always lost in the long river of history. If you come and ask me, who shall I ask?"
"Yes, time waits for no one, and if all the answers are too late to be salvaged, there will only be the fate of annihilation. I want to ask you something, are you afraid of poisonous snakes, the most poisonous poisonous snake in the world?" Chu Chu echoed the woman's words, the words were full of mystery and poetry, but the ending sentence was full of cold murderous intent.
At some point, hundreds of green snakes came close to the ground and occupied the inside and outside of the Digong Gate.
"The name of these snakes is 'dripping water', which means that even if you are not bitten by their fangs, but only by the saliva that flows from their mouths, you will die. If you still care about your life, tell us something worthwhile. As you just said, everyone is equivalent to exchange. I can see that your life is worth a lot, and you have to tell some more valuable information to redeem it. "Chu Chu won the game and seized the opportunity.
