Chapter 10: The River of the Dead
As soon as I saw that things had gotten to this point out of control, I turned around and ran.
I don't have a good relationship with the village chief, although he knows the news of my father, but Kong Mu also knows.
This is reality, not in the movie, you have to talk about some righteousness and kindness, and the truth that a dead friend does not die and a poor way is always correct.
When I ran back, I found that Sheep's Horn and Pan Huazi were sitting together and chatting about something, and they laughed heartily from time to time.
Seeing my panting appearance, the sheep's horn was a little unhappy: "Pan Huazi, did you just do a little too much, in case the village chief wants to use Zhong Yang as a backing, he won't be able to come back at all, this is too risky." ”
"Brother Yang is right, it's my negligence." Pan Huazi said with a smile.
I looked at the two old men in front of me who were talking happily, and understood everything, all of this was a game jointly set up by Pan Huazi and Sheep's Horn, the purpose was to keep the village chief in the broken temple and prevent him from coming out to intervene at a critical time.
As for what this critical time is, maybe it's the time when I need to exchange my life for that relic.
In other words, these two people in front of me don't care about my life or death at all.
For a moment, I regretted leaving the village chief behind.
Pan Huazi said: "Little guy, cooperate with the two of us, your chances of survival are greater, the village chief has some means, but in the end he has too little knowledge, and the utilitarianism is too heavy, it is not necessarily a good thing for you." ”
"Is it a good thing to work with you?"
"Do you still have a choice?" Pan Huazi's tone suddenly aggravated: "If it weren't for Brother Yang's instructions, I would have asked you for a leg in that broken temple just now, and now you dare to talk to me, are you really not afraid of death?" ”
"I'll kill me with me." I sneered.
"Okay."
As soon as Pan Huazi's voice fell, two paper figures had appeared next to me out of thin air, and the paper arm seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and I couldn't move.
Sheep's horn said: "Okay, young people will inevitably be vigorous." ”
But Pan Huazi was unmoved, and did not remove the paper figure that was pressing my shoulders.
My legs trembled more and more, and finally I knelt on the ground, half of my face crushed into the mud under my feet by the paper figure.
The sheep's horn couldn't be seen, and a breath blew towards me, and the two paper figures that pressed me were burned as if they had been poured with concentrated sulfuric acid.
His spell was broken, and Pan Huazi didn't show dissatisfaction, and walked away from the forest before getting up.
The sheep's horn also followed, and when he passed by me, he said: "Arrogance requires capital, and the title of the Zhong family can't protect you for a lifetime." ”
"What the hell is going on? The village chief saved your life, why did you plan to harm him? ”
"I'm saving him, the things in the forbidden land of Da Mo Mountain are not at all within the reach of people like him, it's easy for him to get in, but it's hard to get out."
"What about me?"
"The pendant around your neck is your talisman, and with that pendant, the things in the forbidden land can't move you."
……
Led by Pan Huazi, the three of us followed another path through the forest to a clear river.
By this time, the sky was already white, which meant that we had walked in the woods all night.
Pan Huazi said: "The other side of this small river is the inner area of Da Mo Mountain, which is also a forbidden place, and after entering it, we will meet the 80 people who were killed in Da Mo Mountain, their grievances are very strong, you should be careful." ”
"Let's go." Sheep's Horn took out a scarlet jade plaque from his pocket and hung it on his chest.
I also subconsciously touched the dogtooth pendant around my neck.
The water is not very deep, more than a meter deep enough to wade through.
It's just that the cold water of the river makes me shiver.
I said, "This river is so cold." ”
Pan Huazi turned her head and glared at me, but didn't speak.
Although the river is not very wide, it can be called a river, and there are still three or five meters, and when I walked three meters, my legs were already shivering from the cold.
But I saw that the two of them were getting farther and farther away from me, and a layer of white mist was rising on the river in the early morning.
I panicked a little and gritted my teeth and walked forward, pulling my hands back at the same time.
Finally came to the other side safe and sound.
I threw myself on the grass on the shore, my legs were blue and cramping, and I said, "Even if you two don't want to pay attention to me, don't go so fast, right?" ”
"Fool, look back at what's on the river?" Pan Huazi scolded mercilessly.
"What can there be?" I got up and looked at the river.
The water is still clear, and the fish and shrimp jumping on the surface of the river.
The moissage reached out and wiped it on my eyelids.
When I opened my eyes again, the river had completely changed.
There were countless souls standing in the river, and they just stood there motionless, as if they were stakes staring at us, and the originally clear water of the river had all turned into gray-black sewage.
And just now I felt cramps in the cold on my legs, and when I looked at it at this time, it was not frozen at all, but finger prints.
It was they who pinched my thighs.
Sheep's horn said: "If you stop just now, or continue to talk to us, and pour out yang energy, you will be pulled underwater by them, don't look at the depth of the water is only about one meter and a half, and when your head goes down, you will not be able to come up even if you have great skills." ”
I shuddered unconsciously: "You know why you didn't tell me in advance?" ”
"Because we want to see your adaptability and reflexes, if you can't cross a river of dead people, then it's not a big deal for you to die here, because people of your level don't deserve to touch relics at all."
"It's a relic again." I couldn't help but be a little angry, I wiped my face: "You all are for relics, I don't understand what you do with that?" My dad is here to lift the curse of our Zhong family, so what about you? ”
Sheepshorn said: "It's too big to involve, it's not good for you to know." ”
