"The mark is gone!" I even realized that my voice had changed.
"What did you say?" Suixin became furious on the spot and strode towards me. But I ignored Suixin's anger at all and searched everywhere for Ye Xun's mark like crazy.
I'm not lying to Suixin, but the mark left by Ye Xun really stopped before my eyes without any warning.
According to the original agreement, it is not yet the time for Ye Xun to ask us to stop. Unless Ye Xun encounters some danger, he will not easily cut off contact with me.
I had been panicking for a long time, but I just happened to shout at this moment: "Come here and explain to me what's going on!"
"Get out of here!" In my irritation, I insulted Suixin on the spot, and Suixin became furious: "Catch him and let him kneel down and explain to me!"
"I don't know the depth of things." A detective sneered and used a grappling technique to grab my wrist.
"Fuck you!" I grabbed the opponent's wrist with my backhand without waiting for the opponent's palm to approach, and followed with the dagger drawn from my right hand.
The five-inch-long blade penetrated the opponent's thigh with a scraping sound. I immediately pulled out the dagger and turned around and ran into the woods.
"Chase! Chase me!" As Suixin roared, Detective Hand rushed into the forest after me.
I was anxious about Ye Xun's whereabouts and had no intention of fighting with them. I ran not far away and rolled down a slope into the forest.
No one has set foot in the primeval forest of Xing'an Mountains for thousands of years. The branches and leaves on the trees grow in spring and fall in autumn, again and again. Although most of them have turned into soil, the remaining fallen leaves are enough to cover up any trace of anyone.
I rolled into the fallen leaves and stopped. The detective who was chasing me couldn't find any trace of me and stopped naturally.
Not long after, I heard Suixin roaring angrily: "Trash, they are all trash! If you can't even catch up with a farmer, what's the use of keeping you?"
Hei Lao said with a smile: "Don't underestimate a mountain person. Although their status is not as high as yours, they have been living in the mountains for generations. Give him a gun and he can keep most of you in the mountains." .”
Suixin Lengran: "Hei Lao, isn't this the time to discuss this?"
Hei Lao ignored Suixin and instead said loudly: "Little boy leading the way, come out and let's have a good talk."
Seeing that I didn't respond, Hei Lao said again: "Don't forget, I am a great immortal. Even if you don't come out, I can figure out where you are."
I couldn't help but be shocked. The old lady was very cunning and she would never try to trick me out. What is she going to do
Hei Lao said loudly: "Little boy, you are looking for your brother, and we are looking for the Dragon King Bodhisattva. Come out and we will help you find your brother."
I could obviously hear the other party talking, but I still lay motionless under the tree. Hei Lao smiled and said, "You're not going to come out, are you? When your wife finishes smoking, I'll go find you. When I find you, you won't be as easy to talk to now."
After Mr. Hei finished speaking, he sat down and started smoking. Suixin couldn't help but ask: "I really don't understand, why do you have to find him out?"
Hei Lao said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, don't underestimate the mountain people. There are some things he knows, but you don't. Losing a guide in the mountains is equivalent to losing half a life. Even if he We have led him to the edge of the Dragon King's Cave, so we can't touch him casually."
I couldn't see Suixin's expression, but I guess she must have dismissed Hei Lao's words. Hei Lao's voice suddenly became a little angry: "I have lived in the mountains for half my life and have seen more things than you. When I wait, If something happens, it will be too late for you to find someone."
"I believe it!" Suixin finally squeezed out two words from his mouth and immediately changed the subject, "According to common sense, the leader should have brought us near the Dragon King Cave. Did Mr. Hei see anything?"
"I saw dead people, dead people all over the mountains and plains." Hei Lao Shen Shen said, "Many people have died here. None of them have ever walked out of this forest, waiting for someone to come in and take them out. Now we are here, Maybe there will be dead people following us every step we take, waiting for us to take them away!"
Suixin said in an unhappy voice: "Hei Lao, are you going too far? We are here to explore the secrets, not to catch ghosts. We should save ghost stories to scare children!"
Hei Lao said disapprovingly: "You don't believe it? Then let me tell you, there are countless ghosts in the fallen leaves below. You can see them as long as you lift the leaves. Do you want to try?"
Suixin obviously didn't believe there were any ghosts under the leaves, and didn't even answer the other party's words.
But I felt a chill slowly rising around me, as if someone had stuffed ice cubes under my body. The biting coldness rose up all around my body, and penetrated into me in waves. The collar and sleeves.
Just a moment later, I felt the leaves around me tremble a few times, as if something was hiding under the fallen leaves and crawling towards me. When I subconsciously looked up, a human hand covered in soil stretched out from the fallen leaves in front of me.
The fingers facing my face shook left and right to push aside the yellowing leaves, and stretched them inch by inch toward my eyes. After I reached out and pressed the handle of the knife, I felt something was wrong. I screamed, jumped up from the fallen leaves, and climbed up the hillside desperately: "Old god, help me, help me! There is a ghost down there... There is a ghost!"
"Grab him!" Sui Xin ordered, and two detective hands grabbed my arms at the same time, lifted me up into the air, and then threw me heavily to the ground.
I quickly got up and shouted: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost down there!"
"Nonsense..." Sui Xin just said two words. The fallen leaves on the hillside rolled up like a flowing river, rushing down the mountain one wave after another, and gradually piled up a golden tower in the distance. Mountain bag.
The fallen leaves were removed from the ground, revealing hundreds of corpses nailed to the ground by long wooden nails. The clothes on the corpses had long since rotted away, making it difficult to tell the age in which they lived. But judging from the curled-up fingers of the corpses, it seemed that they were all nailed to the ground while they were still alive. Otherwise, those people would not be in pain enough to claw their fingers into the ground.
Suixin's face suddenly turned extremely ugly: "You go down alone and pull out the nails used to nail the body and take a look."
The detective next to me pushed me: "Get down!"
"He can't go." Hei Lao said coldly: "If he wants to go, you go!"
"Me?" The man looked at Mr. Hei, then back at Sui Xin. Seeing Sui Xin's expressionless face, he cautiously jumped down the hillside, grabbed a wooden nail, pulled it out, and held it in both hands. Handed it to Sui Xin.
"Soul-suppressing nails? No, soul-suppressing nails shouldn't be so thick." Suixin whispered to himself, "But there are clearly runes on the nails..."
Legend has it that the soul-suppressing nail, which is specially used to nail the soul and prevent the ghost from reincarnation, is indeed engraved with runes. Moreover, whether it is three nails or seven nails to calm the soul, there must be one nail nailed on the head of the deceased, because the ancients believed that the human soul lives in the Niwan Palace.
Whether the nail is driven in between the eyebrows or the top of the head, it must go straight to the center of the brain. Nails made of wood cannot penetrate the human skull, so soul-killing nails are usually either copper or iron. This is why Sui Xin couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Suixin looked around for a while, and when he was about to reach out and touch the wooden nails, the Hei Lao next to him suddenly pulled out a knife from a detective hand, raised his hand and cut off the man's hands holding the wooden nails with a knife.
A subordinate's hands were chopped off in front of him, how could he not be angry as he pleased? Suixin immediately grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist and shouted: "What are you doing?"
Hei Lao quickly retreated two steps with the machete in hand: "Look at his hands yourself."
Suixin just glanced at the man's hand, then immediately stepped back and stood a few meters away.
When I looked at the man's hand, I also took a breath. The broken palm of the man looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. Except for the dark red flesh, there was not even a drop of blood. What's even more strange is that the man's hands were clearly cut off, but he seemed to know nothing and still stood there with two bare wrists. The only difference from before was that his face lowered a bit at this moment, as if he was staring at his hands that fell to the ground.
Suixin said in a deep voice: "What happened to him?"
"He has been poisoned. The wooden stake is the poison. The poison has entered his brain and he is hopeless." As he spoke, Mr. Hei raised his hand and slashed the man's head off. This time, a little blood finally flowed out from the corpse's neck, but it was just a little bit. At most, it only stained the opponent's collar red.
The human head that fell to the ground rolled around a few times and stopped facing his own body. His eyes kept staring at his bare neck, and occasionally blinked twice.
Suixin moved away again and shouted to Mr. Hei: "You know clearly that there is poison down there, but you still let my people die?"
Hei Lao's face was extremely solemn and he said: "Whether you believe it or not. I can only tell you that I didn't see that the wooden pile was poison at the beginning. If I hadn't seen the poison on him, Signs, I’ll touch the stake myself.”
Suixin had a sullen face and said nothing, but Hei Lao said: "A Miaojiang Gu master has been here. That Gu master is more powerful than me. He knows the lost plant and tree Gu."
Miaojiang Gu Masters have always been arrogant. If they can admit that someone is highly skilled in public, they must be convinced of that person. Suixin's expression suddenly changed: "Is that Gu Master one of yours too?"
"No!" Hei Lao said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. That boy who led the way, is there a temple nearby? If there is, you can take us there first."
I suddenly said secretly in my heart: Not good.
