Chapter 14: Ghost Slaves
only heard the whirring wind in his ears, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably, Tang Zixi was so frightened that he almost screamed, and his hands grabbed it indiscriminately, but he only grabbed a ball of air.
With a snap, Miss Tang hit the stone wall, and then fell heavily to the ground, and when she fell, her waist hit a stone, almost fainting in pain.
"Just a little girl!" I heard a voice say coldly.
"After eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, Lao Tzu had already found out. It seems that your internal strength is not as good as mine, Old Ghost Chen!" said the crudely spoken voice.
Tang Zixi panicked in his heart, didn't care about the pain, and quickly stood up against the wall, looking up at the person who spoke.
I saw two skinny old men locked in the two corners opposite. And above them, close to the top of the house, two small windows opened, and the light came in.
The one on the left is taller, with long hair covering most of his face, his clothes are in tatters, his limbs are covered with iron rings cast of fine iron, and are connected to the stone wall behind him by thick iron chains, I think it is because of the frequent struggle, the iron rings have sunk into the flesh, as if they are part of the body, and the wrists and ankles are full of dried blood, all of which have a thick layer of scabs, probably because of another fight just now, the blood scabs have collapsed, and the flesh and blood are rolled, and it looks a little miserable.
Tang Zixi couldn't bear to look at it anymore after a glance, and turned his head slightly.
"What's the matter, the old ghost looks scary?" came the sound of a strange laugh from the side.
Tang Zixi's gaze moved down slightly, and then he found the person sitting in the shadow in the right corner. He was also chained to his wrists, and unlike the tall old man before, he still had an iron chain wrapped around his waist. However, he was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and the bun on his head could barely be seen, so he should be a Taoist priest. And looking at the way he has been sitting still, it is estimated that it is the person named Chen Jintang I heard before.
The tall old man waved his hands, pulled the chains and said angrily: "Fart! where can you see better than Lao Tzu?"
Chen Jintang glanced at him, ignored him, but looked Tang Zixi up and down, and said, "You don't look like that kid's subordinate." ”
Tang Zixi settled down, and thought quickly in his heart: These two people just had a fight, one was hit by cartilage powder, and the other was hit by the Xuanyin palm, although they were injured, but from the perspective of dragging themselves, it was more than enough to kill themselves. Therefore, there is no hope of running for the time being, only to stabilize them for the time being, and then wait for an opportunity to escape......
Chen Jintang frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "Who are you, why are you here?"
"People in Xialuoyang want to go to Liangzhou City to visit relatives, but they got lost halfway, fell into a tunnel, and then walked all the way here. Tang Zixi felt the murderous aura faintly coming from him, and quickly replied half-truthfully.
"What are you talking about?" Before Chen Jintang could speak, the tall old man Long Aotian was already excited, and he was about to walk towards Tang Zixi as soon as he strode forward, so frightened that she shrank back again, but fortunately she was pulled by the straightened iron chain.
Long Aotian didn't seem to care at all about the pain of the iron chain pulling, turned his head sideways in the direction of Tang Zixi, and said in a continuous voice: "You said that you were going to Liangzhou City, but you got here because you fell into a tunnel?"
Tang Zixi was taken aback by his reaction, glanced at his hideous expression because of excitement, and replied carefully: "Yes!"
"Hah!haha!" Long Aotian suddenly laughed wildly, and the chains clattered, "Lao Tzu is saved!"
Tang Zixi, who was surprised by his reaction, heard Chen Jintang say again: "The situation where you will fall here, 1510." If there is a half-false sentence...... "The iron chain on his waist suddenly flew up, flying straight towards Tang Zixi, like a flexible big snake, seeing Tang Zixi's face change color slightly, he sneered and withdrew the iron chain, and said lightly, "The old man doesn't mind being a ghost slave again!"
Ghost slaves?
Tang Zixi was stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant, but the threat in his words was clearly felt, and he also understood where the chain that dragged him before came from. However, the process of falling here is not a secret to her, so she didn't plan to hide it, and said it as it was, just skipping the matter of the little beast. Because for her, this is a betrayal of trust, something that makes her feel hurtful, and naturally she doesn't want to share it with others.
"White Bone Road, Flower Sea, Gobi?"
After listening to Tang Zixi's words, Chen Jintang muttered a few words to himself, closed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought. And Long Aotian was also rarely full of solemnity.
The two of them fell silent again.
saw that the two of them were like clay sculptures, motionless. Tang Zixi glanced at the direction of the door, the thought of taking the opportunity to escape flashed in his heart, and he glanced at the iron chain around Chen Jintang's waist and the thin hand hanging on his waist, and still stood obediently in place. She didn't dare to gamble with her own life!
"You said there is another black stone that can make all kinds of sounds?" After a long time, Chen Jintang opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Tang Zixi stopped moving his feet and twisting his waist, and hurriedly replied: "Yes! Sometimes it's like a bird's song, sometimes it's like the sound of running water, sometimes it's like a child crying, there's any sound!"
Chen Jintang nodded slightly, and suddenly turned his head to Long Aotian and said, "Old Ghost Long, have you come up with any clues?"
Long Aotian raised his head, just facing the incoming light, and said, "If Lao Tzu is not mistaken, it should be the Yin and Yang Dao between Great Qin and the Black Sand Kingdom." ”
"Hmm!" Chen Jintang nodded again, expressing his approval, "I'm guessing the same way! As far as I know, except for the Yin and Yang Dao, there is no other place that meets these conditions. However, this little girl said that she fell into a tunnel and got here, which is a bit wrong. ”
Long Aotian smiled gloomily and said, "That's not simple, there must be a secret path that the little bastard doesn't know! Little girl, let me ask you, after you fell in, did you encounter anything strange?"
"Strange things?" Tang Zixi's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he instantly thought of the one who was not a human or a ghost, and replied honestly, "There is one, but it looks like a person!"
"Hehe, he was indeed a person!" Long Aotian smiled gloomily, and after speaking, he waved his head towards Chen Jintang, "However, after Chen Laogui's methods, it is like this!"
Tang Zixi took a few steps back, and his face turned white with fright. She thought that this old man named Chen Jintang was more like a good person than Long Aotian, but she didn't expect the terrible ...... outside People, it actually came from his handwriting.
She couldn't help but glance at the old man sitting in the shadow worriedly, remembering his words that threatened her, 'The old man doesn't mind being a ghost slave again', she felt her legs go a little weak, and her body involuntarily began to tremble.
