Chapter 14: Psychedelic Flowers
Finding the direction of the birth gate, I stepped in.
"Yes, are you going to come with me?"
I could see the hesitation on his face, so I added to the fire.
"It's not just an essay script, if you think about the treasures underneath, maybe you can make a small fortune."
Hearing this, Cui Hao's eyes immediately changed.
He shoved the gossip compass into my arms and quickly walked over to me.
"So what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up? ”
He glared at me apprehensively.
"If you hadn't thrown those robes underneath, I would have been rich."
He was the first to step in front of the tombstone and tied a thick hemp rope to the pillar.
Moment.
A hole in the ground opened in front of us.
The specs just now are basically the same.
"I'll open the way first, and you can follow behind."
Cui Hao regained his enthusiasm, as if he was afraid that I would rob him of his treasure, and as soon as he squeezed me away, he grabbed the rope and slid down.
I smiled wordlessly, wanting to see the rope shake and make sure he had landed, so I climbed down.
This authentic place has a completely different feel than before.
There is no cold and cold of Death's door, but a warm breeze blowing in your face.
"How can there be a warm breeze under this ground?"
I wondered why this hole was so weird.
Cui Hao had a big heart and opened the way ahead with great interest, not realizing anything wrong.
The rocks on both sides are flat, completely different from the craggy and potholed walls of the Death Gate.
Another gust of incense blew through.
We came to the corner, Cui Hao had just turned the direction of the passage facing the right, and suddenly his body stiffened and motionless, blocking the middle of the road.
"Why aren't you leaving? What's ahead? ”
I took out my compass vigilantly and took out the peachwood sword with my hand, for fear that some monster would rush out from the front.
Cui Hao suddenly turned around, and his face was full of evil smiles.
"Little Man, guess what's ahead?"
I was full of doubts, and stepped forward to push Cui Hao away.
"You go aside!"
Cui Hao obediently dodged away and gave me the way.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I unconsciously widened my eyes.
"What is this?"
A boudoir appeared in front of us.
The room was covered with layers of colorful light veils, and between the layers of sand, there were faint figures flickering behind the sand.
It can be seen that these people who dance lightly and slowly are all women.
Seeing me turn around, Cui Hao smiled.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful blessing underground, and it would be romantic to be a ghost!"
He turned his head and pushed me away, and quickly squeezed towards the veil.
I was about to open my mouth to stop him, but I was surprised to find that he was holding a glass bottle in his hand and a dagger in the other.
His face was full of obscenity, but he was holding two magic weapons tightly in his hands, ready to fight back at any time.
"This kid."
I smiled helplessly.
He seems to be lustful, but it's all in disguise.
Cui Hao came to the veil, reached out and lifted the veil, did not probe, but cautiously put one foot in.
"Yo, beauty, are you a human or a ghost!"
In the next second, Cui Hao stabbed out the dagger and slid it towards the veil, which was instantly cut into two sections, and the dancing figure was also revealed.
This is indeed a beautiful woman, dressed in characteristic exotic costumes, with tinkling rings all over her body, and embellished with countless gold and silver jewels.
Especially the string of pearls on his neck and shoulders, even faintly emitting a cloud of blue light.
"Pearl of the Night!"
Cui Hao showed a hint of greed on his face, but he quickly disguised himself.
"Beauty, why are you underground? How did you survive so long without eating or drinking here? ”
Cui Hao carried the dagger and slowly approached.
I took a step forward, and I felt dizzy.
There was an extremely sweet smell that ran down my nose and mouth and into my body.
It made my hands and feet weak for a moment, and my eyes were in a trance.
"Fatty, this woman has a ghost!"
With the last trace of sober consciousness, I shouted at Cui Hao.
He looked back in surprise.
Just as he turned around, the beautiful woman who was originally dancing suddenly turned her head and rushed towards Cui Hao.
"Fatty!"
As soon as I saw a flower, Cui Hao and the woman were completely gone.
I looked around.
I found myself in a room full of jewels, with boxes of jewels in the corner, and there were bright golden jewels in them, apparently with a lot of good treasures.
"Fatty, are you there?"
I realized something wasn't right.
I clearly didn't move my position, Cui Hao was still in front of me just now, how could he suddenly disappear?
I wandered around the room.
The jewellery here is truly psychedelic, and even I couldn't help but reach out and touch a few of them.
But I didn't take it, and I touched it through gloves.
The location of this place is unknown, and it is not known what it is.
If there is poison on it, then I am simply looking for death.
As I stared at the boxes of jewelry, I suddenly spotted a corner of the room surrounded by a white veil.
There was a faint figure swaying behind it.
"Cui Hao, fat man, is that you?"
I shouted at the figure.
The figure immediately stopped dancing, and stood in place without moving.
I frowned, clenched my peachwood sword and took two steps forward.
The peachwood sword lifted the veil, and the figure appeared in front of me.
This is not a living person, according to the outline of this thing, it is somewhat similar to the corpse skin of the skinned monk before.
"Corpse clothes? What is this thing here? ”
I stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the corpse's clothes, and pinched them in my hands to check them.
But the thing didn't feel anything when I started, it was as light as a cicada's wings, and it didn't weigh at all.
I suddenly felt a chill in the tips of my fingers, and something melted into my palm along my palm.
I saw that half of the corpse clothes I was holding in my hand had melted into corpse water, wetting my palms.
My eyes were dizzy, my mind was heavy.
The corpse clothes melted more and more, and the surrounding jewels began to melt into a mess of liquid.
"No, that's not true."
My chaotic mind finally sorted out a clear line.
"Was I dizzy just now?"
If it were normal, just now Cui Hao and the beauty disappeared, I already realized that this place was all an illusion.
Nothing here can be touched.
But the fishy sweet smell paralyzed my mind and made me almost come back to my senses.
I quickly shook off the corpse water in my hand and quickly retreated two steps.
I raised my peachwood sword, pulled out three yellow talismans, burned them into ashes, and slapped them on my palms and rubbed them vigorously twice.
Sticky clumps of corpse water dripped from my hands and fell to the ground.
I raised my peachwood sword and slashed at the half-melted corpse in front of me.
The corpse let out a muffled grunt.
Like a drop of water falling into a pool, the scene in front of me suddenly turned into smoke and dispersed.
A moment later, a desiccated corpse appeared in front of me, still clinging to its soft rotting flesh.
What I touched just now must have been a mess of rotten flesh on this corpse.
"Get out of here!"
I roared, and the peachwood sword stabbed downward, piercing the skeleton's chest.
The flesh on his body melted faster in an instant when it came into contact with my peachwood sword.
A puddle of corpse water appeared in front of him.
The bones were completely transformed into a skeleton.
But there seems to be something stuffed in the chest cavity of this skeleton.
I looked at it intently.
I saw that there was a patch of emerald green growing on his chest, and a white flower the size of a half palm was blooming.
Purple markings sprout on the white petals.
As I approached the flower, I smelled the sweet smell again.
"It's you!"
I pulled out a palm-sized jar from my backpack, held my breath and stepped forward, picking out the flower with my mahogany sword.
The petals shrank downwards and showed signs of wilting.
I quickly snapped off a finger bone and threw it into the jar, into which I fed the flower vine.
As if having found a host for the parasite, Pan wrapped around his phalanx and grew dense roots.
I immediately closed the lid.
The smell of fishy sweetness and confusion disappeared suddenly.
When I looked back.
The veil that had surrounded it was all gone.
In its place were bones on the ground, some of which appeared to have died in recent days.
The flesh and bones of the corpse were intact, with only a few corpse spots appearing.
Without exception, their faces were all stained with excitement and happiness.
But their stomachs were deflated, as if they had been starved to death of thirst.
In the center of this group of bones, I saw Cui Hao, who was struggling top of the bones.
"Fatty, are you okay?"
I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up.
Cui Hao closed his eyes tightly, and slapped his hands on both sides of his body, as if he was driving away something.
"Fatty, can you hear me?"
I pinched his midriff hard and pressed my fingers to his temples and pinched the guy's ingot.
He jumped up from the ground with a thud, clutching his ass and glaring at me with anger on his face.
"Little Manye, what are you doing? You fat man doesn't have that fetish! ”
I shrugged my shoulders and filled with garlic.
"You're hallucinating, I pinched your midriff and temples, and I didn't touch anywhere else, what do you mean by that?"
Cui Hao stared at me, quite speechless.
But I can't find anything wrong, so I can only stop there.
He looked around resentfully.
"Such a big beauty, I didn't expect it to be like a wax man, I melted as soon as I got close. The corpse water was still spraying at me, and I almost got splashed. ”
I nodded, pointing to the bones in the corner.
"There is a psychedelic flower in his chest, this thing is a strange thing in the Western Regions, it will live on the corpses of people, and the bones will be used as nourishment to grow. When the flowers bloom, they release pollen and have a deceptive scent. ”
Cui Hao stared at the bones.
"Psychedelic flowers, you took the things?"
I nodded, Cui Hao sighed and slapped his thigh several times.
"Tsk, you gave you the lead. If this thing is put on the market, it is specified that it can be sold for a good price. ”
He rubbed his hands together and walked up to me.
"Little Manye, do you want to do this? I can find you a good buyer who can sell you at a pretty good price. ”
