Chapter 22: Dead or Alive?
The further we went, the more dead bats carcasses, and finally we had to step on the bat corpses to move forward, at this time, a big snake suddenly hung down in mid-air, which scared us a lot, Qin Si and Qin Jun were about to shoot at the head of the snake, but I stopped them, because I had seen clearly, this was a dead snake.
The head of this snake is larger than the large bowl of noodles in the northeast, and according to the law that the snake can swallow things five times the size of its body, it is not a problem to swallow at all for people of our size, and if it is still alive, it is indeed more troublesome.
The snake was originally resting on an oblique stone, but for some reason it slipped down, bringing a strong fishy wind, giving people the feeling that a python was out of a hole.
I fiddled with the snake's head and looked at it, and found a wound seven inches from the snake, still a neat row of tooth marks. The snake flesh in that place was torn alive, and I can imagine the scene at that time, after biting the big snake for seven inches, the ghost baby used his hands and feet together, tightly holding the python's body, and kept sucking blood.
Although this big snake is brave, it can't do anything to the little guy attached to him, and with the invasion of ghost poison, he struggles for a while and whines!
What is it doing with the snake hanging here, is it threatening us? I heard that there are spirit beads on the top of the snake's head, and I don't know if it's true or not, so I used the Baichao Sword to pry out the snake's skull, and the spirit beads of the fart have no hair. It's a fishy smell.
Bypassing the eyes of the big snake, the bottom of the stone milk clock in front of him has white crystals, which can emit a faint luster, just like the stars in the sky.
The cave is no longer so dark, the faint yellow light in the distance comes through, at this time the headlamp can be seen in front of the road, in order to save the battery, we turned off the light, the yellow light is brighter, so that people's eyes have turned yellow.
We quickly walked to the place that emitted a yellow light, and our eyes were so pierced by the strong light that we couldn't open them, and quickly covered our eyes with our hands, and after slowly getting used to the light, Lu Ting and I were stunned, in the prismatic space in front of us, there were piles of gold bricks against the wall, and these gold bricks emitted such a bright light that people's eyes couldn't open.
I feel that my mind was immediately attracted by this gold, this gold, if it were all mine, how nice it would be, fucking still read a fart book, building a community every day to collect rent is enough for a lifetime, I can marry a star, travel the world, use all the luxuries in the world, and buy an island when I have nothing to do, and build my own kingdom......
I glanced at Lu Ting and the Qin army behind me, Qin Si, a vicious thought emerged, if I kill them, all this gold will be mine.
Yes, this is really a tempting idea, for the next happy life, why not store the moral standards here, yes, just do it, there is only one chance, miss it and never do it again!
A voice in my heart was shouting.
However, the remnants of reason told me that if I did this, I would lose myself forever, and I would lose Lu Ting, the difficult choice made me sweat and sweat, I gritted my teeth and pinched myself fiercely, this time I twisted too hard, I felt that the whole piece of meat on my thigh was unscrewed off by myself, and it hurt so much that I bowed down. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed my scalp.
I barely had to look back to know what was going on, and at this time, I saw Lu Ting staring blankly at the gold in this room, and Qin Jun behind her had already raised his double-barreled shotgun at her.
At this time, I didn't have time to do anything, I grabbed Lu Ting's feet and flipped her to the ground, at the same time, there was another gunshot, Qin Jun pulled the trigger, the bullet flew over our heads, hit the stone wall, and hit back and forth a few times, and there was no sound.
I rolled over with Lu Ting in my arms and hid in a hidden place formed by stones, followed by two more gunshots, but they were not towards us.
The double-barreled shotgun can only fire two shots in a row, and we have to continue to load the bullets, at this time we are safe, Lu Ting and I came out of the hiding place, and the scene in front of us made us sad.
Qin Jun and Qin Si fell to the ground, and judging from the way they lay down, he fired a shot at each other and hit each other. This kind of gun is extremely powerful at close range, and there is no other way to hit the hands and feet except to amputate the limbs, and the body is ...... There is only one dead end!
The two of them were foaming blood in their mouths, but their eyes were staring at the gold that almost filled the entire room! The change came too fast, we couldn't make a corresponding response to this, the tragedy had already happened, and when they got their money, I carried the sword of the hundred dynasties, walked into the pile of gold, and stabbed it in the northeast direction, and I stabbed the place that was originally empty, and picked out a talisman, and then the talisman burned out, and the whole space suddenly fell into darkness, and Lu Ting and I pressed the headlamp.
Where is the gold? This is just a game laid out with Taoist spells, and now the game is broken, leaving only darkness and two cold corpses!
I smashed one of the guns, loaded the other gun with a good bullet, and handed it to Lu Ting. Lu Ting's mood didn't look very good, I said: "People are dead, and sadness can't be recovered, what we have to do now is to complete the task they haven't completed, let's go!" ”
Lu Ting nodded silently, followed me with a gun, and through the darkness, the light finally hit a small black object - a ghost baby.
Finally found this guy.
This guy didn't seem to notice our arrival, stretched out his long ghost claws and kept slashing at something, I saw that the ghost nails on his ring finger and little finger were peeled off, and the thick black blood was dripping down, but new nails were faintly growing, and when I looked at the ground, I suddenly had goosebumps on my body, not far in front of us, behind the ghost baby, a pile of bloody nails.
In the place where the ghost baby is now planing, a pile of nails has also been piled up. It looks like two levels, the ghost baby has broken one of the levels, and the nails left behind are the evidence of his breaking of the level, and now, he is picking the second level, judging from the nails left on the ground, the second level should be about to be cut open.
My flashlight moved upward, and I found that there were seven or eight glass-like transparent barriers, and at the end of the barriers, there was an old Taoist sitting with his back against the wall, wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, and his long hair was tied up, and he looked like he had been sitting in it for countless years.
When I looked at him, I felt like he was looking at me, and he was clearly not moving, which was a strange feeling. He looked like he was dead, but he looked at me coldly.
I felt very weird, I didn't dare to look at him when I looked away, and now I finally know his goal of turning Hao Xingguo into a ghost baby, which is to use ghost nails to remove this transparent barrier for him, but it seems that the progress of the project is not fast, there are still seven or eight barriers in front, even if Hao Xingguo is planed to death, he will not want to break all the barriers.
I suddenly thought: what will happen if it is broken, the old Taoist will suddenly come to life, say hello to me and leave in style, or kill us and walk away, but now he looks more like a corpse that has been dead for a long time!
Countless questions lingered in my mind, and at that moment, I heard a voice in my ear: "Young man, shall we make a deal, as long as you help me out of this predicament, I can give you a room of gold!" ”
I was stunned, looking for the person to talk to me, and when my eyes saw the old man, the voice sounded in my ears again: "Don't look for it, it's me talking to you!" ”
I snorted coldly and said, "A room full of gold, weren't my two companions killed by gold just now!" Do you think I'm going to be fooled? ”
The old voice laughed and said, "They can't even break the illusion, they are not qualified to see me, and it is a good thing to die there, but you are different!" ”
I scoffed: "You don't have to lie to me!" Hao Xingguo is a tomb robber, and if he is dead, he is dead, but what kind of grudge does Wang Siqi have with you, and what grudges do the villagers at the foot of the mountain have against you, and you want to treat them like that? ”xh118
