Chapter 45 Silverfish Crocodile
The night is quietly coming, the moon outside the temple is like a hook, the cicadas are chirping, and a few stars are accompanied by the twinkling cold moon. A light breeze blows, rolling up fallen leaves, and the air becomes fresh on the night after the rain, and the dim oil lamps under the broken statues reflect the cheeks of the two people in the temple.
"This place has already been visited. ”
Su Yuxing kept repeating this sentence, looking down and frowning at the three corpses lying on the ground, the corpses were wrinkled, as if they had been sucked empty of blood by something. But the most important thing is that the clothes worn by these three corpses are the guards wearing armor and armor before Su Yuxing entered Changqi City before. Su Yuxing looked up slightly, and he could also notice that the cobwebs on the ruined temple beams seemed to have been broken a lot, and these cobwebs were mixed with some gray-cyan silk threads.
When Lin Yi took Su Yuxing to leave before, he also passed through the collapse of the gate post of Yanlong Mountain Pass, and the temple where the beams of the house was stayed was almost in ruins, and the situation inside the temple could be seen at a glance, and the traces of the fight outside the temple were faintly recognizable.
But now Su Yuxing not only found that the traces of the fight outside the ruined temple seemed to have been wiped out a lot, but there were also people who came to this ruined and ruined temple, as if they were looking for something.
"We're going to get out of here. ”
Su Yuxing softly signaled Mu Yanxu behind him to retreat, and his face remained unchanged to look around the scene in the ruined temple, the statue was incomplete, and the murals were mottled and blurred due to the invasion of wind and rain. And what should have been dusty and soil-filled, the broken walls and ruins of the cobwebs were broken at the moment, and there was no dust.
"Maybe it's because of the guards' investigations. ”
Mu Yanxu slowly looked back, looked at Su Yuxing, who was tense in front of him, and said cautiously.
"It's not. ”
Su Yuxing suddenly lowered his voice. Just now, when he groped for the desk, his fingers inadvertently waved over the flickering fire on the oil lamp, and he felt slightly that something was wrong. And when Su Yuxing reached out to touch the light again, it seemed to be a phantom without any temperature, as if his hand had penetrated into the cold stream in the mountain forest.
And there are no footprints here except for Mu Yanxu and Su Yuxing!
"Someone here hasn't left yet!"
When Su Yuxing finished saying this, he suddenly turned around and pulled Mu Yanxu to run outside the temple, at this moment, the ground in the temple shook slightly, and the vibration sound gradually became rapid, and then directly on the ground where Su Yuxing was standing just now suddenly a tin puppet burst out, and the cold light of the iron sheet was like the sharpest blade at the moment, almost penetrating Su Yuxing's body from the bottom up.
"What a sharp little one," the broken statue on the altar strangely sprouted limbs to fill in the gaps. The soil on the statue began to slowly fall off, revealing a silver-haired, loving face, looking down at the oil lamp under the altar, shaking his head slightly, "But since it was discovered by the little guy, then don't blame the old woman for being ruthless." ”
I saw that the old woman standing on the altar had a gray-brown crutch in her hand at some point, the crutch gently crutched the ground, and there was a small sound of fragmentation in the shadow of the ruined temple, and then the silverfish were densely spread on the ground, with the old woman's mouth whispering, her rough hands glowed with dark cyan light, and the earthworm-like veins on the back of the hand were like living creatures, wriggling in the hand, and the head of the crutch contained a black and blue light, making a peculiar sound.
Then the silverfish on the ground were densely packed as if they had received an order, and by the way, they went to the trees, mud pits, streams, and rocks outside the temple to search for the traces of Su Yuxing's escape just now.
"You've already killed three guards, and if you get into trouble again, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. ”
The sound is like an ancient chime bell, rich and deep. The old woman on the altar couldn't help frowning when she heard this voice, and her loving and vicissitudes of life were clouded with a layer of haze.
"You like to talk and do what you do, it's better to change it more. ”
The old woman's fingers were slightly bent, and she just picked up a red centipede from the palm of her hand, but the palm of her hand was still jet black. The old woman didn't care about the obviously poisoned palm, but bent down slightly, and the cane in her hand tapped lightly against the oil lamp under the altar, the cold light flickered, the blue wick flickered, and gradually the color of the wick became more and more intense, as if someone used a brush to smudge it, the dark blue wick and the lamp became blue, and the old woman's face became as if dyed with blue paint.
I saw that there seemed to be a blue dragon on the pure black altar at a glance, the shadow of the dragon, and then the black lamp slowly spread outward, like a peerless and exquisite black lotus, the petals slowly stretched, the dark blue wick also changed, and a touch of cyan light stood out from the wick.
The old woman's fingertips lightly touched the faint cyan light.
Click.
After the battle with Deng Jiwen, the altar that had been preserved as intact was completely torn apart, and a damp and pitch-black hole was revealed from under the broken altar, and the smell of decay slowly wafted out of the hole, accompanied by a creaking, as if there was a crushing sound on the ground, and a figure came out of the hole.
"Take back those silverfish of yours, he's dead. ”
The figure who came out of the hole said indifferently, the old woman didn't seem to like the man who came out of the hole, but the old woman still listened to what the man said, only to see the dragon head of the crutch in the old woman's hand glowed with black and blue light, those silverfish were attracted by this crutch, and all regathered at the feet of the old woman, the old woman muttered in her mouth, the dark cyan light flowed like earthworms on Ma Longpo's rough hands, and the silverfish were hidden in the shadow of the ruined temple again.
"This can barely allow me to recover a little ability, but it's a pity that you came one step late, if you come early to liberate me, let me eat a few in the fight outside the temple before, and my strength can be restored to four or five percent." ”
The man in the hollow slowly walked up to the black lamp with a cold light, and actually grabbed the black oil lamp with one hand and swallowed it in one gulp, while the old woman next to him turned a blind eye to this scene, as if she had known that this man would do this. And just after the man swallowed the oil lamp, the breath of the man who was originally like a dead man suddenly became like the breath of a reckless beast, oppressive and terrifying.
The breath flashed, as if hallucinating.
The old woman silently stared at the oil lamp swallowed by the man, and a blue light began to spread on the man's body, as if he was sketching and smearing something on the man's body, but unfortunately the blue light did not last too long and completely dissipated.
"How did you get here?"
The ruined temple was completely dark, and only the deep voice of a man like an ancient chime bell echoed in the ruined temple.
"You don't have to ask, but you have to know that the person who saved you didn't save you for nothing. He can let me save you, and naturally he can let you be sealed again. ”
As if she could see things in the dark, the old woman slowly spoke to the man who was about to leave the ruined temple.
"That's a pity. ”
The man shook his head regretfully, and looked into the direction of Su Yuxing's departure.
"You said it yourself, if you cause trouble again, you may be in trouble. Why did your mind start to come alive as soon as it came out? This is Tianlin, not a barren north where you can do whatever you want. ”
The old woman sneered, and the gray-brown cane in her hand glowed with a fierce black and blue light, which instantly illuminated everything in the ruins and ruined temple, and also illuminated the man's face, which was a very pale and weak face, and there was a huge tattoo pattern on his chest.
Crocodile.
The black and blue light was fleeting, and the ruined temple was silent again. And Su Yuxing, who had been running away with Mu Yanxu in the mountains and forests, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the fingers that had just touched the light of the oil lamp suddenly turned blue, and Su Yuxing's face was instantly blue, and he fainted directly before he had time to react.
