Chapter 117. Weird Place

There was a click, and the feeling of splitting the sugar cane came again, Songzi was frightened by my action and screamed, although I couldn't believe that Songzi was really Songzi, but since I couldn't be sure, I couldn't just ignore it, after cutting off Qin Bukong's hand, I shouted to Songzi, Run! He's not Qin Bukong!

Yes, this guy is definitely not Qin Bukong, and I cut it when I saw it.

Because of that vajra in my recollection, "Qin Bukong" didn't pick it up from the ground at all, and it was impossible for him to put the vajra in his arms in a place that was not easy to reach. When I went down with this knife, "Qin Bukong" directly broke the hand holding the vajra sling, but there was no blood flowing from the wound, but bursts of black smoke. "Qin Bukong" also looked at his severed hand stupidly, then laughed coldly, and then just like the "self" who had just been slashed by me, he opened his mouth wide and turned into a puff of black smoke and fled.

Matsuzi began to run when I asked him to run quickly, and after "Qin Bukong" turned into black smoke, I quickly chased in the direction of Matsuko's escape, Matsuko is small, and he has an advantage over a guy like me in the woods, but even so, I still quickly caught up with him, but I still deliberately kept a distance from him and couldn't get too close. And Matsuko seemed to have that fear in his eyes, as if he was the next person I was going to kill.

For a while, I couldn't think of a better way to prove that the pine nuts were real, but I still held the scimitar across my chest, because if the pine nuts were really conjured up by "Xiao", then it might not be like the real pine nuts, and it was a weak chicken. I didn't dare to run anymore, I was afraid that if I ran any longer, something would happen, so Matsuko and I were facing each other and leaning against the two trees. After a long while, Songzi suddenly said to me, in order to prove that I am true, you hand over the tip of the knife and let me cut my fingers, if it is black smoke, then it doesn't matter if you kill me, but if it is blood, does that prove that I am not fake?

Although I didn't think it was 100% safe, it seemed like the only way I could think of at the moment, so I nodded, held the handle of the knife tightly in my hand, and brought the tip of the knife to Matsuko. This scimitar was specially opened by me a few days ago, it is much sharper than the first time I used it, and this knife has seen blood, and everyone knows that if the blade sees blood, it will have a murderous aura, no matter whether the ghost is big or small, strong or weak, it is very harmful.

I saw that Songzi put his right index finger on the tip of the knife, stabbed it gently, and then slashed, and immediately cut a small opening, Songzi squeezed it on the wound with his thumb, and blood beads the size of beans began to emerge from the wound. In this way, it seems to be able to prove that the pine nuts are living people and not ghosts. My guard relaxed a little. But Matsuko said, "Okay, now it's your turn." I was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was no wonder that Matsuko was suspicious of me, and that was very normal, so I nodded and put my finger on the tip of the knife, gently cut the wound, and then squeezed out the blood. I thought that this would be enough, but who knew that Matsuko said, don't worry, try it with my dagger again, and after saying that, he took out his dagger and pointed the tip of the knife at me. I cursed in my heart, but I also understood how important trust was now, so I switched another finger and reached for the tip of the knife to cut another wound.

I was slashed twice inexplicably, and I still felt a little unbalanced in my heart. So I held up my two bleeding fingers and said to the pine nut with some annoyance, "See?" Red, now you should believe it, right? Matsuko didn't speak, but used the dagger to cut another wound on his finger, raised his hand to show me like me, and said, Now the two of us are even.

It's a stupid thing to do, but it's a good way to re-establish trust between us. Now I can stand a little closer to Matsuko, and I don't have to carry a knife to guard against him. I took out the iron scissors from my satchel and handed it to Matsuko and said, the situation is dangerous now, you don't care about so many red tape rules, wait until you see that this is not right, just use this iron scissors to kill me, this scissors is something I have tempered, maybe you are not as powerful as me, but it is definitely stronger than the dagger in your hand.

Matsuko nodded, and reached out to take the scissors, so that I was more sure that he was a real person and not a conjugation, because if it was "Xiao" pretending, when he touched the iron scissors, he would obviously feel burned. In this way, I feel more at ease. The top priority at the moment is to find Qin Bukong, and we all know in our hearts that any person we find next may be "Xiao" pretending to confuse us.

We unanimously decided that we should first go back to the place where the three of us were separated first, because that place was found by Ganmu, which means that when we found it, that place had the heaviest yin energy. The location where Songzi and I are at the moment is actually not far from the place where we were separated at first, maybe only twenty or thirty meters, but because the surrounding reference is too single, Songzi's compass is invalid at the moment, so it took us a lot of time to find the way. During this period, the slightest wind and grass makes us feel nervous.

We finally found the place, the honeycomb on the ground was shattered, and there were many wild bees buzzing around, and we did not dare to get too close, nor did we dare to make a torch in the woods, if we burned the mountain, it would be a great sin. So we walked close to the edge, slowly approaching the spot where Ganmu had first planned to climb the tree.

It was an old tree, but it certainly wasn't as old as a thousand years, maybe it was because the old tree died and the new seedlings grew to this size. There are traces of Ganmu climbing on this tree just now, which means that if I use the terracotta incense to find Ganmu at this moment, it should be feasible. Although it is very wrong to light a fire in the mountains and forests, I am very careful when lighting a fire.

Terracotta incense is a spiritual thing, so the smoke has become a tool to protect me and the pine nuts from being stung by wild bees, but to our great surprise, we found the licowood hidden in the grass in a haystack not far from the tree. Ganmu is a very brave snake, hiding here at the moment, obviously not afraid of those wild bees that can't pierce its scales, but afraid of something else, and this thing, most likely, is "Xiao". After all, the snake is an animal in the mountains, and "Xiao" is the king of the mountain, and when Ganmu saw me and the pine nuts, he seemed to relax a little, and he didn't even need my call, he knew how to follow me. It's something I never thought of before, because it always makes me feel so cold.

Matsuko and I returned to the place where we had been separated before, and I shouted Qin Bukong's name a few times, thinking that there was no need to hide it now, anyway, our every move was clearly known by the enemy. My voice spread far away in the quiet mountain forest, and after being refracted by many trees, I believe that Qin Bukong should be able to hear my voice if he hid around here. It's just that I didn't get a response from him, because maybe he was also afraid that we weren't the real us, that our shouts at the moment were "Xiao" luring him out, or that he was too constrained by the enemy to respond.

If it is the latter, it means that Qin Bukong's situation at the moment is very dangerous. While trying to listen to whether there was any answer from Qin Bukong, I took advantage of the current gap to carefully observe the area where we were standing at the moment. Strange to say, there will be a tree almost every meter or so along the way, and the density of this is conceivable, but in such a small area, but there are no trees growing in the range of more than three meters, and I noticed that in the middle of this is a small clearing, there is nothing on the ground except dirt and fallen leaves, and this place happens to be an irregular circle if the edge is a tree.

Along the way, although the ground is similar, it is slightly different from this place, because in this small clearing, not only do not trees grow, not even grass grows. After the infusion falls, it does not decay and decompose with the moisture brought by the mist like other places, and becomes a wet feeling, or mixed with the soil, the fallen leaves here are very dry, as if the water has been extracted by something, and the leaves are the kind of hot baking, dry and crisp feeling, just step on it, those leaves can be broken into a pile of slag with the veins of the rhizome.

So I thought to myself, could this be the place where the stone box is buried? It's not that this possibility is impossible, why is there no grass growing in this position? If this circular area of more than three meters under our feet is the location of the buried objects, can we also explain why when Ganmu brought us close to this place, we, who had always been just frightened birds, happened to be attacked by the hive here? Such an attack is obviously not painful for the three of us, could it be said that it is actually to warn us not to approach?

"Qin is not empty! - I shouted, without an answer in my heart, but unwilling.

However, just when my voice was still echoing in the mountains and forests, suddenly I heard a relatively strong wind blowing the leaves and grass on the ground, which was coming to us from far and near, and the pine nuts instinctively hid behind me, and even Ganmu erected the head of the snake, and began to open its mouth in an attack, the sound was getting closer and louder, and suddenly there was a hula sound, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, and the nose was full of rotten eggs mixed with the smell of sulfur, and I couldn't help but squint slightly, In a trance, I saw a black, smoky, but humanoid monster crashing out from behind the tree at the other end of the circle.
