Chapter 105: The Verge
According to Brother Chengxin's judgment, we are still in the old forest, but because the age of the incident is too long ago, we can only roughly judge that this old forest is hidden.
But I never imagined that the masked man in the mural would appear in this old forest, and not only one, but a group, about twenty or thirty, who had surrounded us at this moment.
I didn't know how they appeared, or how they hid their tracks, even my spiritual senses were so good, I only felt the feeling of someone watching, and I didn't expect that twenty or thirty people had come to surround us.
Brother Chengxin was as shocked as I was, but after the shock, the two of us could only choose to smile bitterly at the same time, is this trip to the tomb destined to be so unsafe?
Don't look at the two of us who are doing well now, but after the big battle outside, we ask ourselves that if we want to fight again, I am afraid we will not be able to exert some combat effectiveness.
The masked man was holding an unusually primitive looking wooden stick, but the end of the stick was sharpened, and in the absence of a hot weapon, I had no doubt that these sticks could 'poke' me and Brother Chengxin to death.
These masked men wore strange masks, and their bodies were wrapped in strangely shaped, rough-looking fabrics, and we couldn't tell their expressions clearly, and we couldn't tell from the movements of their muscles whether they were full of aggression towards us.
But even so, Brother Chengxin and I still vaguely felt their hostility, and we don't know where this hostility came from.
The atmosphere is a bit deadlocked, I and Brother Chengxin may not be able to win, who knows if these masked people have a very special ability, they can't run away, I see that except for the sky, they are surrounded by us in all directions, and the only direction we can run in is the Dragon Tomb, but Brother Chengxin and I can't guarantee that we won't be caught by them before we push the stone door that looks very heavy.
In this case, Xiaoxi and Xiaomao rushed in front of us, and they actually made a gesture at the masked man again and again, I looked helpless, and said: "Xiaoxi, Xiaomao, don't beg them, it's a big deal to fight and break the net." ”
Just kidding, my old Li Yimai can die standing up, but definitely not living on his knees!
But I didn't want Xiaoxi to turn around and say to me: "Chengyi, I think they are very kind, maybe we can talk." ”
Xiaoxi's words made me and Brother Chengxin's originally tense muscles relax a little, or it was really Xiaoxi Xiaomao's actions that played a role, or maybe it was for some other reason.
One of the masked freaks walked out unusually tall, and a muffled voice came from under the mask: "You are coveting the Dragon Tomb? ”
This is really enough for the ancients, and the voice can't say weird, it's not ugly, in fact, his voice is still full of richness, but it's weird, just like a cat learning to bark a dog, even if it barks out, but can you not feel weird?
Brother Chengxin and I both have this strange feeling, but when we say that we covet the Dragon Tomb, where do we start, Brother Chengxin stood up, once again hung up a smile like a spring breeze, and said: "You misunderstood, we are definitely not coveting the Dragon Tomb, in the end, we are human, what is there in the Dragon Tomb that we are worthy of coveting?" I'm interested in the medicinal herbs here. ”
In the face of Brother Chengxin's words, the masked man laughed noncommittally a few times, as if the Dragon Tomb really had something to covet for us, but he didn't bother to tell us.
He stomped the wooden stick in his hand to the ground, and finally stopped saying the old crepe saying, but said to us in more modern words: "You can't go near the Dragon Tomb, this is the forbidden place!" The medicinal herbs can be picked, but they cannot move the roots, and the medicinal materials that need to move the roots can only move a small part, and the spiritual things cannot be touched. When you come, you can't leave, go and live there. After speaking, the strange mask waved his hand, which meant that there was nothing to talk about, and his words would never be changed, nor could they be changed.
Can't leave? Could it be that once you enter the Dragon Tomb and abandon mortal dust, you will be put under house arrest by these masked people? I frowned, obviously not accepting what he said, so I stepped forward and said, "We have absolutely no ill will, but we must wait in this dragon tomb now, because we have to wait for one of our friends. And we can not move the medicinal herbs, but we must leave, but we don't know how to leave now. ”
My words are very direct, and I feel that in the face of these masked people, it is better not to do the false and wrongful things, and it may offend them directly, but it is definitely much better than hypocritically 'coaxing' them!
Facing my directness, the tall masked man froze for a moment, 'um', and then snorted heavily! He's a little angry!
Under his rage, the rest of the masked people roared in unison, and then walked a few steps towards us, with the intention of making a move if they didn't agree!
I don't know why, in the face of hundreds of people, or elite cultivators, I have never panicked, let alone psychological pressure, but in the face of the encirclement of these masked people, my heart is under a lot of pressure, I unconsciously clenched my fists, and my other hand involuntarily touched the yellow cloth bag I was carrying.
Xiaoxi Xiaomao is in a hurry, Xiaomao is making trouble again and again, and Xiaoxi is anxious to persuade me and Brother Chengxin: "You rely on them first, don't conflict with them." ”
"If we rely on them first, I'm afraid we really can't leave in the future, not to mention that we haven't found Ruxue, how can we rest assured?" At this time, it's me who is generally too lazy to explain, so it's Brother Chengxin who speaks.
'Hmph', the tall masked man snorted again, and at this moment, a thin and old voice interjected, another masked man, but compared to the tall masked man, he was much thinner and milder.
"We have already accepted the agreement, and we are not willing to kill more people and hurt others. Those who can come here should not be ordinary people, then you should also know how rare this place is, rich in medicinal materials, quiet environment, not disturbed by the world, and it is also a place with incomparably rich aura on the mountain range, and it is difficult to find a place with sufficient aura in this world. ”
"What do you mean?" It was Brother Chengxin who asked the question.
"It means that you are cultivators, and in this world, there are fewer and fewer really good places where people can escape from the world and practice, if you realize the benefits of this place, even if we drive you away, you are afraid that you will not want to leave, of course, except here, you can't get close. We mean well, don't you realize? "It's still the old man with the same shrill voice answering our questions.
I have to admit that his words are really convincing, and they are for the sake of us everywhere, as if we are going to leave at this time, but we are stupid and don't know what to do, and we are not allowed to speak, the big man from before said in a bad voice: "You human beings are hypocritical, and at the beginning of looking here, it was for the so-called treasure, and then it is not said that we don't want you to go, but even if we drive you, we can't drive you away one by one!" Do you think we are willing to keep you in our holy place? You guys"
The big man seemed to have no heart, and his words revealed so much information that the man in the short mask coughed again and again to interrupt him, but Brother Chengxin and I had already heard it, what do we call humans? Aren't you human if you wear a mask?
"How? Have you thought about it? Come with us, this forest is rich in medicinal herbs, and it's okay for you to come and collect medicine once in a while. You just can't get close to the Dragon's Tomb. The diminutive masked man didn't seem to want to say more.
I definitely won't agree, before I see Ruxue, I said that I won't leave this area, I can't just rest assured that Ruxue is like this.
I was just about to speak, but I was stopped by Brother Chengxin, who squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked, "According to your meaning, you are the aborigines here?" And -- you're not human, are you? ”
If you face a group of masked people and say that they are not human, this should already be a very powerful scolding, and most people will be angry, but in the face of Brother Chengxin's question, these masked people are extremely silent, and they have no intention of getting angry.
But the masked man with a shrill voice said, "If you must ask, I can tell you too!" But after knowing this secret, you can't leave, have you thought it through? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall masked man said in a cold voice, "Human? We can't afford to climb high! We don't want to think that we are human, you better say less in the future and ask us less if we are human, that is an insult to us, and next time, I will tear you up. ”
He finished saying this happily, but my heart was full of anger, the man of Lao Li's line can tolerate it and not care about others, but he is threatened like this? So, I laughed 'hehe' and my face sank all of a sudden.
And the big man took a step forward and said, "What do you want?" ”
