Chapter 158: The Princess Hugs (2)
The sand under his feet spread faster and faster, and the instep of the man continued to rise, and the ground sloped all over, and he staggered as he ran. If it were ordinary, this would naturally be no problem, but now that their yuan power has been lost, not only that, but it seems that even their physical strength is being consumed rapidly, and it is a little difficult to run.
Gu Baiying reacted very quickly, and the steps couldn't go up, so he took another path. This temple looks boxy, but there are many narrow corridors and corridors, Gu Baiying tried his best to hide in a high place, hairpins followed behind, and when he looked back, he saw that under the reflection of the faint torches, the golden sand continued to pour in from the depths of the corridor, which was clearly dry and even bright colors, but it looked particularly ghostly.
It was as if the sand were alive, like a snake chasing after them.
Thinking of this, the hairpin star's feet paused, she looked down, the yellow sand had unconsciously flooded her calves, she wanted to pull out her legs, but her feet seemed to be half stuck by a viscous liquid, as if something was pulling her towards the center of the yellow sand.
"Uncle," she subconsciously shouted forward, "I can't seem to get out." β
Gu Baiying turned her head suddenly, and the next moment, Hairpin Xing felt that her hand was being pulled hard, and her whole body was light, Gu Baiying directly hugged her horizontally and ran forward.
The road under his feet was still bumpy and swaying, his clothes were cold, but his arms were warm. It is obviously a life-and-death crisis, when 100,000 people are in a hurry, but the young man keeps walking with a cold face, and he does not see half a minute of panic between his eyebrows and eyes, which will make people feel a strange sense of security.
Hairpin Star: "I ......"
"Shut up." He didn't even look at the person in his arms, and rushed towards the dark corridor.
There was a dull sound of wind behind him, which seemed to be mixed with some strange light sound, and he didn't know how long he ran, until he felt the tilt of the ground gradually stop, and looked back, there was no yellow sand surging up behind him.
Gu Baiying also realized this and stopped.
Hairpin said: "Uncle Shi....."
Gu Baiying suddenly let go, and she sat on the ground unexpectedly.
Mimi screamed and licked the sand grains on his paws, this cat is quite clever at playing tricks, when the hairpin star was trapped in the sand and calves, it climbed onto Gu Baiying's shoulders and regarded Gu Baiying as a humanoid spirit boat. It's also difficult for Gu Baiying to carry two oil bottles, and he hasn't been caught up by those weird sand tides.
Thinking of this, Hairpin Star didn't care about his rude behavior.
After getting up from the ground, the hairpin looked around. They just ran around like this, and they didn't know where they were now. The temple where the serpent witch placed the altar looked square, but in fact there were many narrow corridors inside, and they were now at the end of a corridor, and in the direction of it was a small hall, or a secret room. Among them, totems are carved on the walls, and gold and silver jewels are randomly stacked on the ground, as if there is a secret place in a treasure map.
"There's no road ahead." Hairpin Star muttered: "Senior Uncle, how did we find Senior Brother and them?" β
There is only such a secret room at the end of this, and there is no other way out, if you want to make peace with Tian Fangfang, you have to go in the direction of the exchange. But the whole temple is tilted to one side, they are standing at a high point at the moment, if they go back, if they encounter a resurgence of sand tide, I am afraid that before they find Tian Fangfang, they will be buried alive in this ghost place first.
"There's something wrong with this place." Gu Baiying twisted his eyebrows and said, as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly covered his left shoulder and took a breath of cold air in pain.
Hairpin Xing was taken aback: "Uncle Shi, your injury!" β
She still remembered that Gu Baiying's wound was left when she was in a stalemate with Jinhuahu in the secret realm of Li'er Country, but when she was in the thatched house, Gu Baiying had already treated the wound by herself, and it looked much better, why did it come to this point, but the old injury recurred?
Hairpin Xing realized something, looked down at her palm, sure enough, in the thatched hut of the secret realm before, the abrasion on her palm was almost healed, and before going to bed at night, she took apart the bandage that Gu Baiying bandaged her, and now, the scar that was about to heal became hideous again at some point, and the hot pain reminded her that the wound had recurred.
Something is really wrong with this place.
"Could it really be the curse left by the Snake Witch Clan, and the entire Wufan City has become a product of demons?" Hairpin was puzzled: "What's the matter with the bean lady?" β
"I always felt that it wasn't demonic." Gu Baiying held the embroidered bone gun and sat down with his back against the wall.
He looked a little tired.
Hairpin followed and squatted down: "Uncle Shi, how are you?" Does the wound matter? β
Gu Baiying brushed away her outstretched hand and said impatiently: "Don't be nosy, I don't care about this little injury, worry more about yourself!" β
Hairpin looked at the hand that was brushed away by him and sighed: "Why are you so awkward?" β
"What's awkward?"
"Obviously cares about people, but you have to make an appearance that you don't want to be close to people." Hairpin said: "I was almost swept away by the sand just now, didn't you leave me and run away by yourself?" β
Gu Baiying snorted: "You are Xuan Lingzi's personal disciple, a person from the Taiyan faction, so you can call me uncle." I can't watch my juniors die in front of my eyes. He emphasized: "Yang hairpin, I advise you not to think too much, let alone be sentimental. β
"What about the Ji Snake going to force people to dance with me?" Hairpin looked at him calmly: "Is it also that the elders can't stand it so they make a move?" β
Gu Baiying was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a while.
Hairpin lowered his head: "Uncle Shi, do you think I'm pitiful, so you forced someone to invite me to dance in private?" β
"Nonsense, who thinks you're pitiful?" The boy immediately retorted.
Hairpin smiled and didn't say anything.
She didn't speak, and the atmosphere fell silent.
Gu Baiying glanced at her and coughed lightly: "The scar on your face...... I heard that your fiancΓ© got out of the marriage because of this? β
"Yes," Hairpin admitted frankly, "Not only that, but at that time, he also mocked me in front of the public with his new love." β
Gu Baiying frowned: "What's it, let me tell you, it's nothing to have a scar on your face, you should cultivate hard, and if anyone points at your face again in the future, you will directly beat him down." β
When he said this, he seemed to hate the unevenness of iron and steel, and Hairpin Xing thought it was funny, and deliberately leaned his face towards him, pretending to be sad: "Is it really ugly?" β
The woman suddenly approached, and the dark firelight reflected the black scar on her cheek, like a black flower, and her eyes were like a clear spring, deep and shallow, with a bright vitality.
He paused, pushed the hairpin away, and warned, "Don't get so close to me!" β
Hairpin Xing laughed in her heart, and felt more and more that this little uncle was really a paper tiger, she was afraid that Gu Baiying would be annoyed and angry when she saw her smile, so she had to lower her head. I never thought that this fell in the eyes of the other party, but it was more like being hurt by his actions.
The young man turned his head uncomfortably, slowed down his tone, and said casually: "Just that little scar, who can see it if you don't look carefully." After a pause, he added, "I don't think it's ugly. β
The hairpin was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at him.
He sat against the wall, his tone unconcerned, but his eyes serious. Obviously in the dark secret room, obviously injured and embarrassed, but at the moment when he spoke, this person was like the embroidered bone spear beside him, shining and unstoppable.
Hairpin Xing felt a small jump in his heart, and that was by no means the reaction brought by Xiao Yuanzhu.
She asked herself in her heart: Is it the drawbridge effect? It's the drawbridge effect! Although Gu Baiying's appearance and temperament are indeed the type she likes, but at this moment of crisis, this kind of moment when there will be a demonic storm and hurt people in the next moment, it is not suitable to think about this kind of wind and snow at all?
She was really dizzy.
Seeing that the hairpin was silent, Gu Baiying frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"Not really." Hairpin Xing came back to his senses and diverted the conversation: "I'm just thinking about how to get along with my senior brother next." She rubbed her sore knees, stood up, looked at the corridor outside the secret room, and said, "This is not a smooth road......
The hairpin's voice came to an abrupt end.
When they came, they fled here in the direction of the Yongdao, and the way they came was a Yongdao, and there was no fork in the road, and the hairpin remembered it very clearly. But now, in front of me, the dark, torch-lit corridor was gone, a strange place, like a hall in a house, with calligraphy and paintings hanging in the foremost place, and two mahogany chairs.
"Uncle Shi, look at ......" Hairpin turned his head, and then was stunned again.
There was nothing behind him, and there was no shadow of Gu Baiying, but in a moment, he disappeared out of thin air.
The changes don't stop there.
The secret room, which was randomly stacked with gold and silver, became a boudoir, which was supposed to be a woman's boudoir. In this room, there is still a goose-yellow gauze tent, the embroidery on the futon is exquisite, on the wooden table in front of the dressing mirror, there are some rouge gouaches placed at random, and on the chair there are half-embroidered sachets.
What does this mean, any door?
Gu Baiying disappeared, and Mimi disappeared along with her. This place is full of weirdness, and in an instant, only Hairpin Star is left. Xiao Yuanzhu at the mouth of her heart didn't move, she didn't dare to act rashly, she only clenched the flower stick in her hand and looked around.
Could it be an illusion? She thought about it in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and carefully used the flower stick to flick the unfinished half of the sachet on the chair.
The tip of the stick touches the sachet, it is soft, and the feeling of the sachet is real, not like an illusion.
But what's going on?
The hairpin took two steps forward, and at this moment, in the deathly silence, there was a sudden sound of human footsteps, the footsteps were very clear, and someone was calling: "Hairpin star." β
She was startled, immediately turned around, and then froze in place: "Why are you?" β
