When I saw Hu Xueman leading us along the straight road, I was speechless. I also knew that my spiritual sense was pointing in the wrong direction. Why was this happening? But it's a reason I couldn't think of.
At this time, the shocking sound of the tomb passage that went out diagonally had disappeared, and what followed was deathly silence.
But Hu Xueman's expression was not relaxed at all. He picked up Ling Ruyue and said to me and Surou: "Let's run, you two must keep up with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the tomb passage. It was said to be slight because it was too far away. If you were in front of you, the footsteps must have been very shocking. If you know how to walk through that tomb passage, It takes about a minute to walk!
However, the tomb is a relatively closed place after all, and movement and noise can indeed travel very far.
Along with the sound of footsteps, the chilling sneer came again. This time it was not only a sneer, but also a sound similar to the constant "buzzing buzzing" of radio waves. Ling Ruyue and Surou hugged each other at once. My brain screams that I can't stand it anymore.
Hu Xueman took out a few wads of cotton from his pocket, stuffed them directly into Surou and Ling Ruyue's ears, and said to me: "Recite the Jingxin Jue yourself and run!"
With that said, Hu Xueman hugged Ling Ruyue and ran ahead. Su Rou and I followed closely. Unfortunately, we had just run wildly once, and we have to run again this time. Why is this all happening
If we hadn't come to the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost, the three of us should be sitting on the corridor of the Bamboo Grove Villa having dinner at this time, right? It's drizzling outside, the bamboo forest is swaying in the rain and mist, and the world is hazy. How comfortable it must be!
But there is no regret medicine in the world. Now I can only run as fast as I can, because if I am a little slow, I don’t know what the consequences of waiting will be!
After running a few steps, I saw the secret room next to the tomb passage. Hu Xueman kept walking, and I couldn't stop either. Just the moment I rushed over, I saw that it had been completely destroyed. Master and the others had left. This is the path, it turns out they were destroying the secret room together!
After running for nearly 5 minutes, I saw at least seven such secret rooms. I have no idea how many there were because I was running so fast. Who could count them
At this moment, Surou's panting voice came: "I...I...can't run...move."
Running like this for more than ten minutes like this, with only a short pause in between, would be unbearable for ordinary people, let alone a fat man like Surou? I turned to look at him, and sure enough, his face was already blue-white.
Hu Xueman grabbed Surou's collar and shouted: "If you can't run, you will die. Sanwa'er will help you."
I understood what Hu Xueman meant, and I also grabbed Surou's collar, and simply two people pulled him to run, which made the speed much slower. As if to mock our slowness, another "roaring" sound came from nowhere. came, reminding us that death is approaching.
"No...don't...leave me alone, go find...Jiang Ye and save me!" Surou estimated that his physical strength has reached the limit and he can't run anymore. This is a helpless thing. The body has its limits. When you pass that limit, you become numb, and you have to use your will to support it. But when your will cannot support it, the result is like crispy meat.
In fact, Su Rou is already pretty good. If anyone were to run at the highest speed for 5 minutes, it would be pretty good. It was the threat of life and death that inspired the potential of Su Rou, but potential can also be put to use!
After saying that, Surou sat down on the ground with a 'pop' sound. He didn't look like that to fight against anyone, but he really had reached the limit. His face was already pale, and because he was too tired, his breathing was like a bellows. , it feels like the whole lungs are rubbing, and occasionally I cough, and all I choke on is white foam.
"Let's go, let's go, you'll die if you don't go." Hu Xueman roared, trying to pull the meat.
But I grabbed Hu Xueman and said to him seriously: "Uncle Hu, let him stay here. If he runs any further, his heart will not be able to bear the load and he will die. He needs to rest. I will stay." Stay with him."
"Are you kidding me?" Hu Xueman's eyes were wider than bull's eyes, and his fists clenched for a moment, as if he wanted to hit me. He didn't understand why I would cause trouble at such a tense moment.
"I'm serious. You take Ruyue to find my master and the others first, and then ask the master to come and save us. After all, I have been studying with the master for so long, so it's okay to delay it for a while." I lifted the meat, but it was already I made up my mind not to leave.
The current situation of Surou is not suitable for sitting on the ground and resting like this. It is like a tightened string. It cannot be relaxed all at once, but has to be relaxed slowly.
"No, no, it will take at least 10 minutes to get to Master Jiang's place. This time, more time is wasted. I..." Hu Xueman obviously did not expect this, but in fact it did There is no other way. Su Rou can't run anymore. Can you carry him and run? He is not Ling Ruyue, small and light, he is a fat boy with a height of 1.7 meters.
"Uncle Hu, you are wasting time. Leave marks along the way. Surou and I will try to go that way, that's it." I looked at Hu Xueman and said as if I had made up my mind.
Surou looked at me and wanted to say something, but he couldn't even breathe, so he couldn't say anything.
Hu Xueman also knew that now was not the time to argue, so he gritted his teeth and handed a gun into my hand: "The bullets inside are all special bullets, and there are 7 more. How can I shoot?"
I nodded. I often went to play in that small yard. When I was bored, those uncles would teach me some gun skills. I even went to the local army with them once and played target shooting. I can’t say how accurate my marksmanship was, but shooting Guns and stuff, always.
"The terrain of this tomb passage is complicated, as you have seen. There are many turns and forks along the way. I will put a check mark on the correct road and you can follow the marks." Hu Xueman gave the final instruction.
I nodded again, and Hu Xueman was about to leave, but as if he remembered something, he handed me and Surou two more talismans, and said: "This talisman was drawn by your master. It has good power to destroy evil and suppress evil. Take it." Come on."
"This red rope is used to lock people's yang energy to avoid being discovered by evil things. It's a pity that I can't tie or untie it, and there is only one. Otherwise, you two can find a place to hide. As long as that thing Not here." Hu Xueman sighed.
I took the time to ask: "What is that thing? Do you know?"
"The one you released is the Hungry Ghost King! It looks like he has already transformed! I'm leaving, I can't waste any more time." After saying that, Hu Xueman hugged Ling Ruyue and turned around and ran away, a little faster than before.
This is not because he is cold-blooded, but because he knows that the faster he runs now, the more likely my life and Su Rou's life will be guaranteed.
Looking at Hu Xueman's disappearing figure, I supported Surou and said to him: "I'll help you walk slowly. After the intense running just now, I will walk slowly for a while and then sit down to rest."
Surou didn't have the energy to speak, so he just nodded, and we started walking slowly in the direction where Hu Xueman ran, just like taking a walk.
After walking for three to five minutes, Surou's condition got better. I helped him sit down against the wall, took out the water and took a sip, then handed it to him: "Drink slowly, take a sip, take a break, yes." It’s good for your body to recover, but you have to wait hard.”
Su Rou took a sip of water and his condition was much better. He said to me: "Why are you staying here? You can come back to save me if you run away with Lao Hu."
"No, Surou, I'm not being silly with you. Do you remember what you said when you pulled me up? You said you wouldn't let go if someone chopped you, and neither would I! If I were with you, we would Even if I meet you, I can still fight to the death. I dare not risk your life if I want you alone. Now that the situation has been reversed, even if someone cuts me, I will not let go!" I said seriously.
Surou's eyes suddenly turned red, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Good brother."
The two of us were silent for a while. After all, this kind of disgusting atmosphere was not suitable for two grown men, not even big boys. Then we laughed again.
"I got goosebumps just now, my son, hahaha..." I said.
"Just now, my son, I was so moved that I also wanted to vomit, haha..." Su Rou also said.
But what accompanied our laughter was a roar and footsteps!
Surou and I stopped laughing. Surou looked at me seriously and said, "I bet that big guy is getting closer to us." As he said this, Surou held the kitchen knife in his hand!
"Well, it seems to be able to sense us from a distance, and its ghost lingers. I finally know why Master tied Cynomorium knots on people. It must be to avoid these troubles." I also took out the rolling pin.
"By the way, I just saw that girl Ling Ruyue having her mouth covered by Hu Xueman, with tears streaming down her face." As Su Rou was talking, he took out a steamed bun and handed it to me, saying, "You're full, you're ready to fight."
I took a bite of the steamed bun. In fact, I also saw Ling Ruyue's scene. I guess this little girl also wanted to stay or something, but Hu Xueman didn't allow it. He couldn't bring anyone back, right
After all, Surou and I are teenagers, and Ling Ruyue is just a little girl... .
"That little girl is still loyal." As I spoke, I put down the steamed buns, grabbed Su Rou's hand, and pressed it on the sharp edge of the kitchen knife. Suddenly the blood from the middle finger of Su Rou's right hand started to flow out again.
"What are you doing?" Su Rou was still eating steamed buns and suddenly became angry.
"To deal with these evil things, a kitchen knife stained with blood is better to use. It will do more damage to them. Don't waste it. Apply it on the blade. Yes, apply some on my rolling pin too." I explained.
"Sanwa'er, didn't you say you'd like to use yours next time?" Surou grabbed my neck in an instant. I guess this kid was really angry. He didn't say hello and used his again. .
"Are you kidding me? Good things come last. Use yours first. You can see that both of your fingers have been used up. Next time it will definitely be mine." I said seriously.
