Chapter 663: Attracting the Prey to the Hook
But after a short walk, I saw a little bit of light in the center of the valley, and it was very small and very small, not as bright as a lamp, but as dim as a star, and after a little flicker, that little bit of light disappeared.
But in this flash, Song Sigong and Li Yuan also saw a large white circle in the valley, a large circle surrounded by many people in white.
Only then did they have to admire Zhao Zheng's eyesight, Zhao Zheng could still see it so far away just now.
At this time, they slowly approached the center of the valley, and the white-clothed people who had fled just now did not know where they had fled, and they walked forward step by step, and then the bright light in the middle of the valley flashed again, flashed for a while, and then extinguished, and everyone was close at this time, and saw that the shining thing was floating in the center of the circle formed by the white-clothed people, floating out of thin air without support.
When the light went out, there was nothing to be seen, and it was dark again.
The three of them were about to make a move, and suddenly, two people in white came out behind them, and the three of them subconsciously wanted to catch them, but they saw that these two people in white did not look like an attacking posture, but made a gesture of please, and pointed their fingers like darker darkness.
Song Sigong and Li Yuan were very puzzled, what the hell is this, Rao is that they have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and they have never seen such a strange thing.
At that moment, the two of them took back their weapons and looked at Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng didn't understand what these people in white were doing, even if they were a little stunned, at this time, the two men in white walked away first, Song Sigong and Li Yuan glanced at each other, nodded silently, and followed the footsteps of the people in white.
They walked about fifty steps in the northeast direction, and saw that in the darkness there were many figures of people in white, and in this crowd of people appeared five men in white, and the strange thing was that these five big men were carrying a chaise longue in front of them, and on the reclining chair was a person lying on the chaise longue, also dressed in white, and his face was also very white, and there were two mustaches under his nose.
Zhao Zheng recognized that this mustache was the valley master of Cistanche Valley, and on his right side, he was standing and returning to me.
Song Sigong and Li Yuan didn't know each other very well, and the two of them were wondering what kind of person this was, enjoying it so much, and having to be carried by someone when they went out.
Then Mo You also saw Zhao Zheng, and said with a calm face: "It's the Zhao Sect Master, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but get angry when he saw that he was attributed to me, looked at me and said, "I'm looking for my donkey." ”
Mo was stunned for a moment, and I hurriedly said: "The subordinate borrowed the donkey of Zhao Dong's family to ride, and the subordinate will return him." ”
He looked at me with some puzzlement, and he felt that such a trivial matter did not need to be reported to him at all, and nodded consciously or unconsciously.
I gave Zhao Zheng a look, which meant to let Zhao Zheng come with him.
I walked towards the many people in white, and after a while, I took out a donkey, Zhao Zheng saw that it was his donkey, and I don't know when I got a set of reins.
I took the donkey, handed the reins to Zhao Zheng, and said, "Zhao Dongjia, this is your donkey, you go quickly." ”
Zhao Zheng still couldn't react for a while, he didn't expect that he could smoothly return the donkey from the hands of me, and he didn't think that I would return the donkey to himself so easily, he glanced at me, only to see that there was no expression on my face, and it didn't look like there was any conspiracy, Zhao Zheng glanced at him, and his heart was a little inexplicable, he shook his head, and then he glanced at it, only to see a pair of saddles on the donkey's back, and his own basket was still hanging on the saddle.
Zhao Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately burst into joy, he couldn't imagine that I not only returned the donkey to himself, but also returned the shrimp to himself, which was too incredible, he was pounding in his heart at the time, and only felt that it was not as bad as he imagined to return to me, but he felt that he had missed him before.
At this time, he only listened to me: "Zhao Dongjia, I have already returned all your things, you-" He said, glancing at Song Sigong and Li Yuan out of the corner of his eye, and continued: "You guys get out of here quickly." ”
Zhao Zheng said happily: "Okay, okay, let's leave." ”
He was anxious to get out of here at this time, lest I suddenly change my mind and entangle my donkey and basket.
He said to Song Sigong and Li Yuan, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
Song Sigong and Li Yuan nodded.
When they walked through the circle surrounded by the man in white, the light in the circle shone again, Zhao Zheng inadvertently glanced up, and immediately felt that this thing with light was so familiar, he silently turned around, and walked up again, then suddenly remembered, isn't this the candlestick of the Xia family with the light on?
On the same day, Cistanche Valley bought this candlestick from the Xia family with a hundred taels of gold, Xia Jinhe still didn't want to sell it, but in the end he was tempted by the one hundred taels of gold, and finally sold it, at that time, it was unreasonable to say that he liked to collect antiques to buy this candlestick at a high price, and did not say that it was useless, now it seems that this candlestick is not ordinary, no wonder I have always seen a bright light there, it turned out to be a candlelight, I don't know how this candlestick stands in the air, and I don't know what the candle is doing there?
Zhao Zheng thought silently in his heart, and walked away for a long time, and then couldn't help but look back, but at this moment, he saw that the white-clothed people in a large circle suddenly dispersed, and they all retreated, and in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared.
At this time, in the circle that the man in white had formed before, the candlestick was still lit up from time to time, lit up and then extinguished, and Zhao Zheng saw that the candlestick was about five feet high from the ground at the moment, and it was fixed in mid-air like that, like a star in the sky, fixed without moving.
If it could be fixed in mid-air just now, it could be said that it was some kind of spell cast by those people in white, but now that the people in white have withdrawn, the candlestick can still be fixed in mid-air, which is a bit unbelievable, Zhao Zheng can't think of what the reason is, Song Sigong and Li Yuan also saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, everyone stopped for a while, and was surprised by this spectacle.
At this moment, I only felt that under the shining candlestick, in the wet mud, there was a sudden fluffy sound, as if the wet mud was breathing, and after a sound, the fluffy sound sounded again, only this time much louder than before.
Zhao Zheng was startled, looking at the location where the sound came from, at the same time, his right eye was also puffy, a little dizzy, and then, the scene in his right eye seemed to be magnified hundreds of times, and it became extremely clear, only to see that the wetland was moving, and bubbles were constantly rising on the wetland, as if there was air coming out of it, Zhao Zheng was surprised by this scene, and couldn't help but look carefully.
At this time, I saw the light on the candlestick flicker, and at the same time, the soil on the wetland below was suddenly torn open like a big hole, and a swarthy arm stretched out from the soil, the arm was about the thickness of a child's arm, Zhao Zheng was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, covering his mouth with his hand, for fear that he would scream out and disturb the strange thing.
Song Sigong and Li Yuan couldn't see anything, and looked at Zhao Zheng suspiciously, but Zhao Zheng still stared at it intently, and then saw another wetland tear apart, and another swarthy arm stretched out.
Zhao Zheng shouted in his heart: "Mom, this is clearly a person's arm, is it possible that Cistanche Valley is here to disregard human life and bury living people in the soil? They were afraid that we would find out, so they hurriedly asked Gui Gui to return the donkey and basket, and always urged us to go, it turned out that they were harming people, but fortunately this person was not dead, struggling to get out of the dirt.
When Zhao Zheng thought of this, he immediately aroused his sense of justice, and his thoughts of leaving also stopped.
I saw that the two swarthy arms appeared for a while, and then froze, and then did not move, and waited for a while, only to see a huge head suddenly burst out from between the two arms, this big head rushed out of the soil, but Zhao Zheng was stunned, because this is obviously not a human head, look closely, this head is oval and fat, clearly the head of a frog, clearly the head of a frog that has become bigger.
I've never seen a frog's head this big.
I saw two big eyes protruding from the front of the big head, and the bottom of the head was still rising and falling, and the two big eyes were staring at the air motionlessly, as if they were looking for something.
At this moment, the candlestick in the air lit up again, and the big head suddenly seemed to have found its prey, and two swarthy arms burst out of the earth and rushed towards the light in the air.
The whole thing was suddenly out of the dirt, but its lower body was bent like a frog's retreat, and its upper body was clearly straight like a human.
This is a frogman, and this strange thing that came out of the dirt is a frogman.
Zhao Zheng gasped, he had heard about this frogman before, but he used to listen to it as a story, but he didn't expect that there were really frogmen in this world, people like frogs, or frogs like people.
When the frogman jumped up, the light in the sky was extinguished at the same time, and the frogman pounced into the air, and breathed and exhaled again, its entire upper body was straight, only the lower body was bent into a jumping posture, and when the light appeared again, it jumped up.
But after waiting for a long time, the light did not appear, and the people of Cistanche Valley did not show up, did they all hide in the dark and watch here?
At this time, in the dark, Song Sigong and Li Yuan also saw the appearance of frogmen, because their eyesight was not as good as Zhao Zheng after all, because what they saw was something that looked like a person and did not look like a person from the soil, and they couldn't see what it was, but they both clenched the weapons in their hands again.
Then, their eyes turned to the strange man, and they did not hesitate to attack if there was any unusual behavior.
After a short time, I saw that the candlestick in the sky lit up again, but the position of the candlestick at this time was not at all the position just now, but moved towards the north direction.
It's strange that this candlestick moves on its own.
When the light came up, the frogman climbed on his two hind legs, and his whole body pounced on the candlestick, and the two arms were in a grasping position, which meant to grasp the candlestick, but when it pounced, the light was extinguished again, and it pounced again, and it fell lightly to the ground, and at this time it had left the position where it had just emerged from the earth.
Zhao Zheng saw the frogman's entire back facing him with his right eye at this time, and he saw that the frogman's entire body was as black and swarthy as his arms, and his skin was full of leprosy from the east and west, which made people want to vomit at a glance, Zhao Zheng hurriedly moved his eyes away, and his eyes looked at the ground, and he remembered the little official of the Xia family at this time, because the little official was also born with leprosy, isn't it the same as this frogman? And this frogman wants to get the candlestick, and the candlestick is the Xia family, and the little official of the Xia family also has a leprosy like this frogman.
Zhao Zheng was thinking about this, and suddenly his heart lit up, and he always felt that there was something faintly related to these coincidences, and there were inextricable connections, but after all, he couldn't think of anything for a while, but his heart was a little troubled.
Not long after, I saw the bright light in the sky appear again, but at this time the position where the bright light appeared moved some distance to the north, but after the bright light appeared, the frogman pounced again, but this time it was in vain, and when it pounced in the air, the bright light disappeared again, and it fell to the ground again, waiting for the bright light to appear again, and at this time, it had left the position where it broke through the ground for a long distance.
After waiting for a while, the bright light in the sky appeared again, and the frogman pounced again, but was disappointed again, and just like that, the bright light appeared several times, and the frogman also pounced several times, but each time the bright light was properly extinguished, and the frogman failed and landed every time, and at this time, the position of the frogman was getting closer and closer to the place where everyone in Cistanche Valley was.
It's like a bait, luring the prey to the bait step by step.
Zhao Zheng, Song Sigong, and Li Yuan couldn't understand what they were doing, and they all watched silently, and because they were some distance away from the circle, they didn't notice them after the frogman appeared.
At this time, slowly, five white-clothed people appeared from the position where Cistanche Valley was just now, these five white-clothed people were all born with round waists and thick shoulders, Song Sigong and Li Yuan looked at it, aren't these five people the same five people who carried the recliner just now.
Zhao Zheng knew that these five people were the five strong men of Cistanche Valley, and the last time he saw them at the Immortal Conference in Huluyu, when they were against the Lord of Black Wind Village, although they were defeated in the end, they were really powerful.
