Chapter 30: There really is a takeaway (two chapters in one)
The tiny strands of hair were almost invisible to the naked eye in the darkness, but the power was surprisingly astonishing. Gao Zhuo was pulled into the water without any precautions.
"Plop!!"
Everyone was startled and then noticed that Gao Zhuo had fallen into the water. At the same time, the surrounding water suddenly became agitated. The insects that had been avoiding the coffin quickly rushed toward Gao Zhuo like sharks that smelled the smell of blood.
"careful!!"
Upon seeing this, Mei Du quickly stretched out his hand to pull Gao Zhuo, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xu Tong pulled him back. Not only did he stop Mei Du from saving people, but he also took out a short knife from the prop book and greeted him.
Hit the water and chop it down.
Even if he has never learned any sword skills, as long as Xu Tong is strong enough, even if he has no rules, he will still be very lethal. With one strike of the sword, the water in front of him was suddenly split into one-meter-high waves by the blade, and the hand he just held sank.
Go down.
"Are you crazy??"
Mei Du looked at Xu Tong with a shocked look on his face. He didn't know what happened to this guy suddenly, and he actually attacked his companions.
Xu Tong didn't explain, he just looked sideways at the coffin beside him.
"One is missing!" The speaker was Chang Wuzhen. He sat at the back and was the one who could see it most clearly from beginning to end. He said coldly: "There is something wrong with these corpses."
After hearing this, Mei Du and the old man turned around to look, and sure enough, there were originally five mummies on the coffin, but now it turned into four in the blink of an eye.
Just when he was wondering, he saw a bubble rising from the water, and then a mummy floated out from the water. The arm and chest of the mummy were neatly cut open. It was obviously cut by Xu Tong's knife just now.
Wound.
Upon seeing this, Mei Du's face instantly turned pale. The thing he had just reached out to pull was actually this mummy. Thinking of this, Mei Du's scalp couldn't help but tingle.
Looking at the four mummies in front of him again, he found that the empty eye sockets of the mummies were staring at them, and a rattling sound suddenly came from their mouths. Seeing this, Xu Tong reached out and grabbed these mummies. He wanted to see what these mummies were.
.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to do it, hairs under the water suddenly became wrapped around his wrist.
The dense hair was surprisingly powerful. Fortunately, Xu Tong was prepared and cut off the hair with a backhand knife.
Taking advantage of the delay, the four mummies in front of them suddenly jumped into the water.
At the same time, the coffin under them began to shake violently. When they looked down, they saw dense hair under the black pool of water, wrapped around the coffin like seaweed, trying to overturn the coffin.
"Old man, didn't you say that the red coffin is a passport!!"
Chang Wuzhen grabbed the old man's shoulders to prevent him from falling.
The old man was also frightened. If they fell, the bugs in the water would eat them up in a matter of minutes without leaving a single hair on them.
Xu Tong originally wanted to use the power of demons, but he was worried about burning the coffin. Just when he was thinking about countermeasures, he heard Da Ya's voice in his ears.
"Headmaster!"
At this time, the three little heads lying at the entrance of the hall poked their heads out. Among them, Da Ya shouted to Xu Tong in a low voice: "Headmaster, you have the merit of incense. Just hit him with the merit of incense. This thing is the most scary thing."
this."
Hearing this, Xu Tong did not doubt that he was there. A ball of incense and merit appeared in his hand, and he aimed it at the hair-like things under the coffin and smashed it down.
Sure enough, those hairs were stained with the merits of incense, and instantly shrank back as if they had been touched by a nemesis.
Without the interference of these hairs, the coffin quickly stabilized.
At this moment, Xu Tong suddenly felt something. When he looked back, he saw that the four mummies that had just fallen into the water were standing on the water, watching them from a distance.
"Da Ya, what is that!"
"I don't know, but it should be something like a ghost. This thing is the one Ji Xiang is most familiar with."
Daya pointed at Jixiang's chubby head. Jixiang's eyes rolled around and he whispered: "There is something in the water, it's some kind of god."
God!
Upon hearing this, Xu Tong's eyes were as bright as lightning. He activated his Life Eye and looked at Qimen. Sure enough, he vaguely saw a dark shadow under the water.
It's just that this thing is hidden very deep, and I can't see clearly the identity of this thing.
"Look, it's Second Senior Brother!!"
At this moment, the water surface suddenly exploded, and Gao Zhuo jumped out from the water, Buddha's light burst out from his fist, and he aimed at the black bugs behind him and slapped them. In a moment, large areas of the bugs were burned to ashes under the Buddha's light.
.
But there were too many bugs behind him, so Gao Zhuo's punch not only had no effect, but attracted more bugs around him.
Just when he was about to fall into the water, a figure rose up from the water, threw a rope around Gao Zhuo's waist with his backhand, and then pulled Gao Zhuo into his arms.
Gao Zhuo looked back and realized that the person who took action was actually Mei Du.
Mei Du pulled Gao Zhuo back to the coffin. As soon as the insects got close to the coffin, they dispersed instantly and swirled around the coffin like a black wind, but they had no intention of getting closer.
"Ahem~Thank you."
Gao Zhuo sat down, coughed up some water and thanked Mei Du. At the same time, he praised: "I didn't realize that you are pretty good at Qinggong."
"That's not true, I have this!"
Mei Du pointed to his shoes, and saw that his boots were very ordinary, but there were two big bright beads tied to the shoelaces.
"These are water-proof beads. After they are tied to shoelaces, they will feel like walking on flat ground when you step on them."
"Is there such a treasure?"
Gao Zhuo glared, this Mei Du was simply too arrogant, something like this was actually tied to his shoelaces.
After all, Meihua Village is rich.
"What happened to you under the water just now?" Xu Tong asked at this time.
Gao Zhuo waved his hand. After he fell into the water, he wanted to rush out immediately, but his head was covered with hair. Fortunately, he was in a corpse state and was not afraid of drowning.
It's just that those bugs are very annoying, but fortunately he just rushed underwater when he saw that he couldn't climb up.
As a result, he avoided those bugs. Only then did he realize that these bugs could only survive one or two meters above the water. If the water was deeper, they would not be able to dive down.
He also saw a huge statue underwater, but before he had time to see it clearly, he found that the hair on the top of his head had disappeared, so he took the opportunity to rush up.
"statue?"
Xu Tong thought about the dark figure he had just seen and was thinking about it. When he looked up again, he found that the mummies and coffins in the distance had long since disappeared.
Seeing this, they did not stay here and quickly paddled forward. Seeing that there was no meat left for them, the insects gradually dispersed.
Fortunately, they were not far from the shore in the first place, and they washed up on the other shore in a short time.
"call……"
As soon as they landed, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mei Du sat down on the ground, panting heavily. Coming out this time was really an eye-opener.
Gao Zhuo also felt that what had happened just now was very evil. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. Fortunately, Xu Tong used the merit of incense to get rid of those hairs, otherwise his coffin would have been overturned.
Xu Tong can use his strength to rush out, but others may be at risk, especially Gao Zhuo and Chang Wugu. It's not that they are not strong enough, but that the old man is too deadly.
I wonder how the master and the old man of the Gao family came here?
Just as Xu Tong was hesitating, a scream came from the distance. Xu Tong and the others stood up and looked behind them. They were too far away to see what exactly happened.
But we can see that those little sparks in the distance are being extinguished in large areas, and we don’t know how many people are unlucky here.
"Let's go, we don't have much time, we have to hurry up, otherwise when the time comes, this place will be filled again, and it will be difficult for us to go back."
After hearing what the old man said, no one dared to delay any longer. After Chang Wuju lifted the coffin and carried it on his body, he continued walking down the blue brick road in front of him. After walking for a short time, the air in front of him began to become dry.
Up, some broken buildings even began to appear.
"The buildings here..."
Mei Du looked at the towering stone sculptures in front of him and couldn't help but marvel: "It looks like the style of the Tang Dynasty."
"Can you see this?" Gao Zhuo walked over casually.
"I studied archeology in college." Mei Du said, pushing up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose.
Good guy, I am a descendant of Plum Blossom Village. My family runs a crematorium and I majored in archeology. Together with the corpses from the past and present, they have all been clearly arranged.
As he spoke, Gao Zhuo walked up to the stone carving, raised his head and looked at the stone carving, and was immediately startled: "I have seen this thing before. It was this thing under the water just now, and it was the hair of this thing that attacked us.
."
Gao Zhuo re-described to Xu Tong and the others what they had just seen underwater, with a crooked mouth and a wide nose, and two big fish hanging from both ears, which looked exactly like the one underwater.
"This is the Water God. Are the rumors about the Water God true??"
The old man recognized the stone statue, but when he heard what Gao Zhuo said, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart and hurriedly bowed in the direction behind him.
"What a water god? I saw him as an evil god. Don't give me a chance. I will blow up his statue next time."
Gao Zhuo cursed angrily.
In fact, if it weren't for the two ordinary people, Old Man and Mei Du, Gao Zhuo would have completely transformed, summoned the zombies he refined to make a bomb, and blew the underwater statue to pieces.
"Okay, keep walking, old man, where exactly is the Yin Yang Mountain you mentioned?"
Xu Tong asked the old man.
"How would I know? I've never been here before. Anyway, let's just go ahead."
The old man also admitted that he was just thinking about it anyway. He was already at this age and there was nothing to fear.
Seeing this, Xu Tong really felt that their team was really like Journey to the West. The master was determined to go to the West, and the four of them had to fight tooth and nail to protect him.
"Wait a minute, look at this!"
At this time, Mei Du suddenly squatted down, pushed aside the gravel, pointed at the mark on the stone and said, "We from Meihua Village have been to this place before."
Xu Tong walked over and took a look, and sure enough he saw a plum blossom carved on the stone.
“Why would people from Plum Blossom Village come to a place like this??”
Xu Tong didn't know much about Meihua Village, but he also knew that the people in Meihua Village had always lived in seclusion and would never set foot in the world unless necessary.
"I don't know. I've never heard of anyone from our family coming to Xiangxi." Mei Du also felt strange about the appearance of this mark, but he was sure that it was the mark of his family, and the plum blossom was missing the direction of a petal.
Exactly the direction pointed.
Only people in Plum Blossom Village know this.
It is really surprising to see the imprint of Plum Blossom Village in this place.
"The plum blossoms lead the way, there must be a reason, let's go this way and have a look."
Mei Du said and walked ahead to lead the way.
The cave in front of you is full of slopes made of gravel. If you are not careful, the gravel may collapse.
After passing through these complex environments, an arched doorway appeared in front of them.
There is a sign hanging on the doorway with three words written on it: "The city is in vain!"
When he saw the sign on the door, Gao Zhuo was happy: "It's a waste of time to kill the city. I really think this place is a ghost town."
However, he also remembered that it was written in the "Lingling Yin and Yang Feng Shui Diagram" that after the dragon bone clears the way, there is the false Yin Cao, which should be referred to here.
At this time, Mei Du saw the plum blossom mark on an inconspicuous stone again. After comparing the bottom, he found that the direction was not for them to go in, but to go through an inconspicuous small hole on the side.
Now the old man stopped: "I want you to go, but I won't go. I'm in a hurry and must get to Yin Yang Mountain as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute, since my senior left a signal, there must be a reason. We shouldn't rush in like this."
Mei Du insisted on taking the trail to see what was going on.
Seeing this, Xu Tong thought about it and asked Gao Zhuo and Chang Wugu to follow the old man in first, while he and Mei Du went to see what was going on.
He believed that with the strength of Gao Zhuo and Chang Wugu, there would be no problem in keeping the old man alive.
At worst, at the critical moment, they could just knock the old man unconscious, and they could do whatever they wanted.
When Gao Zhuo heard that this was a solution, he and Xu Tongbing parted ways.
After watching Xu Tong and Mei Du sneak into the path, the old man curled his lips and said with an unhappy expression: "Is this your brother? Aren't you afraid that he will lose you?"
Gao Zhuo was startled and looked sideways at the old man, his eyes becoming increasingly evil: "Old man, you either kill me directly or shut up. I really think I'm afraid of you. Brother, you'll know if you try to kill me."
The old man was glared at by Gao Zhuo, his heart beat rapidly, and he subconsciously wanted to make Gao Zhuo suffer.
But no matter how he activated the Gu worm, Gao Zhuo's eyes were always staring at him, and his fists began to rattle.
"enough!"
At this time, Chang Wuzhen suddenly stood in front of the old man, his expression rarely became serious, he put one hand on the old man's shoulder, and with the other hand, he picked up a stone from somewhere and held it in his palm.
.
"Old people and young people are all angry, so don't worry about it!"
As he said this, Chang Wuzhen pinched his fingers, and the stone in his hand was crushed into powder.
Upon seeing this, the old man looked at Chang Wuzhen, and saw that Chang Wuzhen's face was expressionless, and his eyes were as if he were looking at a dead person.
Seeing this, the old man finally stopped urging the Gu worm and pretended that nothing was wrong and said: "Okay, you're more likely to listen to what you said. You've been carrying the coffin for so long, so you should change it to someone else and let him carry it."
"Hehe, this feeling is good."
When Chang Wuju heard this, he grinned, put the coffin on the ground, and followed the old man in front.
Gao Zhuo exhaled a long breath, stroking the coffin with a trembling hand, and saw a big drop of cold sweat rolling down his forehead, spitting out blood-laced spit, and followed behind with a dark face.
After the three of them passed through the arched stone door, they walked a few steps further and saw various stone houses on both sides of the road. The stone houses were very large and almost no different from normal houses.
These stone houses were actually carved out of the entire rock. Their appearance and style are really reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty.
I just don’t know how many people are needed to complete such a large project.
"It really seems like that."
Gao Zhuo looked at the stone houses around him, looking left and right, thinking that his grandfather's soul should be lost here, but there was not even a ghost here.
The three of them had not taken more than two steps when the old man and Chang Wuzhen who were walking in front of them suddenly stopped.
I saw two statues standing at the crossroads in front of me.
One of the statues is black and the other is white. They are also surprisingly ugly in appearance. They have a round face with a broad nose, big eyes, and a big mouth. It makes people startled when they stand there.
"Hey, black and white have been sorted out. Old man, is this really your family's holy place? Why did the Voodoo Cult start the Taoist conspiracy?"
Gao Zhuo placed the coffin on the ground and began to joke.
The old man glared at him, just when he was about to explain.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly! The sound of a gong came from an unknown place and scared them all. What was even weirder was that the two statues in front of them actually uttered human voices.
"The gate of hell is closed, and a hundred ghosts walk at night!"
As soon as the sound fell, I heard a "kick, click, click..." sound.
Gao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He quickly grabbed the old man and pulled him to his side, while looking around cautiously.
At the end of the street in the distance, a white light flashed. The white light was like two long dragons, gradually lighting up the dark world in front of us.
That was the lantern hanging in front of the door, and it was actually lit at the same time.
At this time, Gao Zhuo raised his nose, and a strange smell began to fill the air. This smell was very familiar to him: "Corpse oil!"
The sound of "click, click, click..." was getting louder and louder now, as if something was being opened.
"Something's wrong, something's coming out."
Chang Wuju squinted his eyes and stepped back to the old man's side. He glanced at the coffin and said, "Throw him into the coffin first."
When Gao Zhuo heard this idea, it was a good idea and he immediately opened the coffin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the coffin lid, the coffin lid suddenly opened a crack on its own, and then a dark hand suddenly came out of the coffin and grabbed the collar of the old man who was about to enter the coffin.
"oops!!"
The sudden turn of events caught both Gao Zhuo and Chang Wuju off guard. The old man was caught directly in the coffin like a puppet on strings. Then they heard a hoarse chuckle coming from the coffin: "It's really true."
