When he was about to enter the territory of Tiger Leaping Stream, Xu Xingzhi once suggested that he and Tao Xian should not take the two oil bottles with no magic power, but just settle them in a place that avoids people and wait for Meng Zhongguang and the others to come back. That's it.
Meng Chongguang took the lead: "I'll be where my brother is."
Qu Chi learned his tongue: "I'll be where Tao Xian is."
These two are important combat powers. If you want to recapture the fragments from the ghost king, you will not be able to lack either.
The difficulty of persuading Meng Chongguang and Qu Chi is the same, one is an idiot, the other is a lunatic, all of them are stubborn.
Xu Xingzhi had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, when I didn't say it."
There is much fog in Tiger Leaping Stream, and there are many saltwater lakes. The air is extremely salty. The closer you get to the destination, the more gray and white the rocks and soil reveal. Thousands of miles of saline-alkali land with no vegetation, everything withered, and withered skeletons can be seen everywhere, including human bones and animal bones, all of which have been evaporated to dryness.
When everyone was resting, Xu Xingzhi had nothing to do, and wrote, "Xu Xingzhi is here for a visit."
After writing this, he lifted the branch for a moment and asked Zhou Beinan, "What is the year number this year?"
He didn't know if he could get out of the wilderness, and he didn't know if the "knowledge of the world" would force him out of this body after finding out that he was a scumbag, throw him back into the original world, and find someone he can trust to kill him. Meng Chongguang, so he wanted to leave at least some marks that he had been here.
Zhou Beinan slapped his body with a ghost gun: "You came in so long later than us, you ask what year we are now?"
Xu Xingzhi urged him: "There's so much nonsense, hurry up." He turned to Meng Chongguang again, "Do you remember?"
Meng Chongguang shook his head hesitantly: "I don't remember."
Zhou Beinan scratched his head: "If the emperor when we entered the flood and famine was still in power, this year should be the sixteenth year of the heaven."
Xu Xingzhi's fingers paused slightly: "... huh?"
The year in the present world that he was in happened to be the sixteenth year of the Heavenly Destiny.
He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he specifically asked Zhou Beinan for their year here, but he didn't want to get such an answer.
But thinking about it again, Xu Xingzhi was relieved.
He is the author of the book, and the time calendar in the book is the same as his own world, and it is not incomprehensible.
When he wrote down "Sixteen Years of Heaven", Yuan Ruzhou frowned: "The fog is getting thicker and thicker. Senior Brother Xu, Chongguang, let's hurry up."
Xu Xingzhi threw away the branch, inserted the folding fan on his side into his waist, patted his butt to get up, and Meng Zhongguang grabbed his left hand as it should have.
Meng Chongguang said, "Senior brother, I'm holding you, be careful to get lost."
Xu Xingzhi touched Meng Chongguang's head with the right hand of the pear tree with great relief: "Thank you."
Meng Chongguang squinted his eyes in comfort: "I still need it."
Xu Xingzhi: "..."
The rest: "… "
Xu Xingzhi: "...don't make trouble."
Meng Chongguang stubbornly said, "... I still need it."
… No way, this old goblin is a cat.
Xu Xingzhi sighed and said to the others, "Turn your heads around."
After all, Meng Chongguang is the boss of this group of people, so what if they all looked at his covetous and coquettish appearance.
Xu Xingzhi stroked Meng Chongguang's hair several times, and touched his chin and neck as he requested, finally coaxing the squeamish old goblin to move.
Meng Chongguang held Xu Xingzhi's hand and walked at the front in a very good mood, while the others followed behind them, speechless for a while.
Apparently, except for Qu Chi and Zhou Wang, who were unknown, the rest of them were immersed in toothache and could not extricate themselves.
The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, the fog is so thick that it seems to be able to grasp the entity, the white fog is condensed, the mountains are sneaking, and the surrounding rock walls are like groups of beasts peeping in silence, not showing their teeth or letting out a sound, but Horrible.
Zhou Wang wanted to let out a bit of his spiritual power to see if there was any change in the vicinity, but when he was just mobilizing the inner alchemy, Yuan Ruzhi, who had sensed it in advance, clenched his wrist, indicating that she should not be exposed.
Just at this time, several people walked to a "one-line sky" formed by two towering stone walls.
This place is extremely narrow, the width is about the shoulders of a half-adult man, and it is impossible to move forward side by side.
They simply led one by one, and filed into the narrow and unusual passage.
Meng Chongguang's body in front blocked the light coming from the other side. Xu Xingzhi was almost equivalent to groping in the darkness. He accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped under his feet.
He was just standing still when the person in front of him reminded: "Senior Brother Qu, be careful with your feet."
Hearing the weak and feminine voice, Xu Xingzhi's throat tightened, and he grabbed the hand of the person walking in front with his backhand.
The too slender touch made Xu Xingzhi's heart feel cold: "Tao Xian?"
The man he caught turned his head.
With the faint light leaking from the front exit when he turned back, Xu Xingzhi really saw Tao Xian's face.
"...Xu...Senior brother?" Tao Xian finally realized what was wrong, "Aren't you always in front? It's obviously Senior Brother Qu..."
Xu Xingzhi also remembered that Meng Chongguang was the first to enter the first line of heaven, and he followed closely.
Before Xu Xingzhi could answer, he thought of another thing, and his scalp exploded.
... It was Tao Xian who was holding his left hand, so who is holding his right now
Moreover, since Tao Xian, who was walking in front of him, failed to notice the abnormality after so long, then... who was holding his other hand
In the flash of lightning, Xu Xingzhi gritted his teeth and twisted his right wrist fiercely, and Lihuamu's right hand was detached from his broken wrist.
His left hand reached to his waist, and he shouted sharply, "Stick to the wall!"
Although Tao Xian was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was at least obedient enough. Xu Xingzhi ordered him to immediately compress himself to the side of the stone wall.
Using the dagger that Xu Xingzhi gave him with his "knowledge of the world", he took a horizontal step, flashed forward from where Tao Xian had vacated, and stabbed the darkness fiercely!
A woman's howl seemed like her nails were clinging to Xu Xingzhi's eardrums!
Xu Xingzhi's long sleeve on his right arm vibrated: "Hold me! Run!"
The stunned Tao Xian saw the plain white sleeves that were flying in front of him, grabbed it like a life-saving straw, and ran wildly in the dark with Xu Xingzhi.
The shrill cry of a ghost behind him suddenly exploded, and the mad bees rushed forward as if chasing the pace of the two.
The exit is also getting smaller and smaller, the hole that could accommodate one and a half people has gradually reduced to one person wide, and there is a trend of further shrinking!
Xu Xingzhi dragged Tao Xian all the way to the exit. Tao Xian was continuously frightened. Seeing that he was less than one meter away from the outside, his legs were weak and he was about to fall forward!
Xu Xingzhi scolded, forcibly turned around, grabbed Tao Xian's collar with his left hand, and forcibly pulled the slender him to the front, and kicked him on the back, kicking him out only halfway A rocky crevice that people can pass through!
Xu Xingzhi crouched down, rolled on the spot, and finally came outside in dismay.
He looked back again and saw that the thin line of sky just now had completely disappeared in the billowing fog, and what remained on the ground were large corpses that had been squeezed into pieces.
The others did not know where they were engulfed by the treacherous one-line sky and sent to them. Only Tao Xian and Xu Xingzhi remained here.
Tao Xian knelt on the ground, with a very clear footprint behind him.
Xu Xingzhi felt a little guilty, reached out and wiped his back: "How are you?"
Tao Xian wiped his face indiscriminately and got up: "Thank you Senior Brother Xu, if it weren't for..."
"Zhou Wang must have learned so much from you." Xu Xingzhi directly interrupted his nonsense, and turned the dagger with his left hand, "This is not the time to gossip. Let's not go forward, don't go anywhere. , just wait for them here."
Tao Xian leaned against Xu Xingzhi's arm, his lips pale: "Where have they all gone? Will Senior Brother Qu be okay?"
Xu Xingzhi comforted: "Don't worry. He will be fine if the two of us die here three hundred times."
... This kind of intimate comfort made Tao Xian shiver.
Xu Xingzhi was alert to the surging fog around him, and pretended to be relaxed: "You are really unlucky, how come you have a pair with me."
Tao Xian: "... Senior Brother Xu, I... "
Xu Xingzhi's Hengxiu guarded Tao Xian behind him, alerted the surroundings, and said steadily: "But you can rest assured, I have a promise that you will never die before I die."
There were tears in Tao Xian's eyes.
Through the thick fog, he could still vaguely see liquid falling from Xu Xingzhi's right cuff, ticking.
... Xu Xingzhi's right wrist was bruised by the broken pear tree on his right hand.
Tao Xian said in a trembling voice, "Senior brother, your hand..."
However, Xu Xingzhi would be wrong: "Why, are you afraid that I can't protect you as a disabled person?"
He raised his intact left hand and shook it in front of Tao Xian: "There are not many hands, one is enough."
As soon as Xu Xingzhi's voice fell, he saw several ghost fires drifting in front of him, like lanterns lit in a ghost market, the size of human heads, blue and blue, and fish turning up and down.
Xu Xingzhi clenched the dagger, still sighing in his heart.
The "knowledge of the world" gave him this dagger to kill Meng Chongguang. As a result, the first time he used the dagger was to protect Meng Chongguang, and the second time was to protect Meng Chongguang's unbounded chickens. subordinates of power.
... I'm really a deviant and rebellious boy.
But so what
Everything Xu Xingzhi did was done by himself, and he never changed his money.
In a short while, the ghost fire has rushed to the two of them and surrounded them.
From a distant place, a ghostly voice of indistinguishable male and female came: "If you want to see the ghost king, you need to answer three questions. If you answer wrong, you will dig out your heart; if you lie, you will dig out your heart. Run away and dig out the heart!"
Xu Xingzhi asked, "Do we both need to answer?"
Ghost Sound smiled strangely: "One person can answer."
Xu Xingzhi frowned slightly, held his breath for a moment, and said without thinking, "You ask."
Tao Xian frantically tugged at the clothes on his back: "…Senior brother?"
Xu Xingzhi turned back half of his head and whispered to him: "If we don't answer, why don't we turn around and leave now? Look at these things, don't they look like some kind of vegetarian?"
Tao Xian was nervous: "But if the ghost king deliberately made things difficult and made some problems, we couldn't answer them..."
Xu Xingzhi said, "A wrong answer is always later than a rejection right away. Let's listen and see."
A phantom appeared three feet away from Xu Xingzhi: "The first question, Young Master Guigeng?"
Xu Xingzhi: "..."
Tao Xian: "…"
Xu Xingzhi now suspects that this ghost king came to choose a son-in-law or a husband on purpose.
The thin line of sky that just collapsed was used to test whether they were healthy or sensitive. As for those who were inflexible and slow to respond, they were already lying there in pieces.
As for the three questions now, they are just questions during the blind date interview.
After Xu Xingzhi answered according to the current age of the original owner, Xuying asked again: "Second question, what are your hobbies?"
Xu Xingzhi: "..."
These two questions are like a mother-in-law interrogating a son-in-law who is about to come to the door.
Xu Xingzhi replied: "I don't have any bad hobbies except for looking at beautiful women. Gambling, drinking and prostitution are not contaminated."
Hearing that the first two questions were so simple, Tao Xian's expression became much lighter.
Ghost Shadow smiled for a moment: "Third question... This son, if only one person could live between you and the son next to you, how would you choose?"
Xu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment and looked back at Tao Xian.
Tao Xian had just recovered some blood, and his face was instantly pale as ghosts. He took a step back, and the indistinct Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Xu Xingzhi turned towards Tao Xian, twitching the dagger in his hand twice.
Ghost Shadow said again: "Please don't hesitate, Young Master, and tell me the answer with action."
Xu Xingzhi silently took two steps towards Tao Xian, holding the dagger in his hand and holding a beautiful flower of light.
Tao Xian fell to the ground, his face full of despair: "Senior Brother Xu, please..."
Xu Xingzhi moved his neck: "Tao Xian, don't blame me."
And behind Xu Xingzhi, a pair of bone hands that were as white as dead wood also quietly approached his back center, and the nails that were as sharp as knives rubbed Xu Xingzhi's clothes indistinctly.
Xu Xingzhi sneered: "...this is my answer."
He raised his hand high, swung his backhand, and nailed the dagger straight into the skull that floated up behind his head!
The skeleton has probably seen countless scenes of companions killing each other. Obviously, he did not expect such a change. After being wedged into the forehead by the flashing dagger, it stumbled two steps before spreading its hands and screaming up to the sky. , in a short while he twisted his body, screamed and vanished into ashes.
Xu Xingzhi turned around, facing the skeleton who was forced to dissipate his soul, picked up the dagger that fell on the ground, and happily gave his answer: "I can go to you, uncle."
At the same time, Tao Xian's face was full of fear, struggling to get up from the ground.
Although he is timid, he still believes in Xu Xingzhi in his heart. He has received Xu Xingzhi's promise just now, and he will no longer be suspicious of Xu Xingzhi. He just came into contact with Xu Xingzhi's intended eyes, and he immediately understood. To cooperate with Xu Xingzhi to make a play, so as to numb the vigilance of the monster.
The two did not dare to stay here, and they rushed to the depths of the thick fog together under the pursuit of the crazy ghost fire.
Tao Xian ran and panted: "Senior brother, they don't want to ask any questions! They just want hearts! I saw the monster behind you just now - he wants to take your heart!"
Xu Xingzhi gritted his teeth.
They first asked about their age, then asked about their hobbies, and before that, they tested their bodies. What is the reason for choosing a husband and a son-in-law, just to find a suitable heart container!
No matter if they answer right or wrong, no matter whether they will kill their comrades in the end, I am afraid they will end up being cut open!
Just as Xu Xingzhi was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.
The thick fog suddenly dissipated, and what appeared in front of the two of them was the interior of a palace made of stone. All the stone carvings were exquisite and picturesque. Most of the figurines used to decorate the palace were lifelike, but Xu Xingzhi did not dare to think too much about it. What exactly is hidden inside the figurine
A man with bright eyes, handsome and elegant, with long hair uncombed, looked down lazily at the two who suddenly broke into his palace, the smile on the corner of his lips was inexplicably reminiscent of a man spitting out a red letter. Terrible viper.
"That's right."
The man's voice was just like his own, lazy like a lying cat, he looked at Xu Xingzhi and said softly: "Over the years, you are the only one who entered my fantasy world, but you didn't kill me to answer the third question. Those who lose their companions. I like your heart of benevolence and righteousness, dedicate it to me."
