The Heartless Mage Chapter 19: Ghost Cave
Master Gu's eyes were red, Qi Yun Dantian exerted force on his arms, he gritted his teeth and snorted heavily, he just lifted the slate and pushed it aside. With both hands on the ground, he crawled out of the hole, then he turned and squatted down, reaching down, first pulling the crescent moon up. The fluffy thing on the ground was still smoldering and smoldering. Crescent Moon did not know its origin, but just followed Wu Xincai's instructions, stretched out his feet and gently turned it over, making the smoke thicker. At the same time, Master Gu also brought Wuxin out.
Master Gu was so tired that his arms were shaking, but he still pulled out his machete and faced the four directions. A few figures with disheveled hair surrounded them, and white-faced smiles were vaguely visible between the long hair, all of which looked like the paper figurines in the hole. Crescent Moon covered the yellow talisman in the purse in front of her chest with one hand, standing in the smoke, not daring to move rashly. Unintentionally rolled up her sleeves, thinking that the only person who can freely drive her soul and have a holiday with herself is Yue Qiluo. There was a fright in the cave, and it must have something to do with her. She was originally considered to be Yue Qiluo's benefactor, but unexpectedly, the other party avenged her revenge. Not only did she kill Crescent Moon, she even chopped off half of her head, causing her to suffer for more than half a month. Although good men don't fight with women, but after thinking about it from beginning to end, Wuxin really couldn't help but get angry.
Two sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, and Wuxin said to Master Gu: "You and Crescent Moon don't move, smoke can drive away ghosts. I'll go pick up some firewood and bring a fire!"
Master Gu replied in a sonorous voice: "Go ahead, I'll hack it to death if you dare to come here!"
Wuxin saw that his scalp was shrinking and could not help burning, so he hurried out and blatantly picked up dead branches and leaves everywhere. The paper figures around were erratic, but they never dared to approach, and were obviously very afraid of fireworks. Wuxin took the time to strike a match, and blew and turned a small fire. As soon as the flames stabilized, the smoke next to it quickly faded away. It turned out that the scalp had been completely burnt out.
Inadvertently, I called Master Gu and Crescent Moon over and asked them to sit down with their backs to the fire. Mr. Gu has a machete in his hand, but Crescent Moon is unarmed; so Wuxin brought the shovel by the pit and gave it to her, and said in a low voice, "Clap if you see the devil, don't be merciful!"
Crescent Moon grasped the shovel handle with both hands, and her heart became fierce: "Don't worry, I am strong! Besides, I have a talisman on my chest!"
No intention to speak, because I don't know what the yellow talisman is for, anyway, it can definitely cure Yue Qiluo, but Yue Qiluo is not a ghost - Yue Qiluo is basically a person, but it has been suppressed for a hundred years, a hundred years. During that time, she stopped all growth and changes, and cultivated a demonic energy in the land of the shadows. Recalling the spell that Yue Qiluo drew when she escaped last time, Wuxin almost suspected that she was using some kind of Dao technique.
Seeing that the two of them were sitting still, Wuxin began to slowly walk around the fire. Once the fire seemed to weaken, he immediately picked up branches and leaves to add fire. He didn't move away, and the paper figurine didn't approach, and there was a faint whimper in the cave, intermittent, as if sad and weak to the extreme. Fortunately, Master Gu and Crescent Moon are guarding the fire, and there is light behind them, so they have a bottom line in their hearts, and their fears are limited.
Wuxin walked silently for a moment, then suddenly began to concentrate on picking up firewood. After burning the fire for himself, he passed the crescent moon with no expression on his face, bent down and pulled the handkerchief off the other side's ribs. He straightened up and covered his eyes with a handkerchief. He was not disturbed by his eyes and could feel the spirits around him more clearly.
The grievances of the souls are very strong, and they all carry unforgettable hatred. Although they each had enemies in their lifetimes, they are now manipulated, and they unified the Wuxin three as their targets. If Wuxin is single-handedly, he can ignore them. The problem is that Master Gu and Crescent Moon are still with him, and there is a deep hole with twists and turns waiting for him to drill. He can no longer enter the hole with a haunted tail, otherwise the two behind him may be strangled by paper figures in the hole.
I don't know how long the two sides were deadlocked, but Master Gu gradually relaxed and asked, "Master, when will we wait? Those things won't come or go, what do they mean?"
Wuxin stopped beside him and replied softly: "They are here for us, of course they won't leave easily; I'm just afraid of fire, so I don't dare to approach."
Master Gu stood up as soon as he stood up: "I'll burn them!"
Wuxin nodded: "Okay, let's go."
Master Gu licked his lips, looked at Wuxin, and then looked back at Crescent Moon. Crescent Moon holds a shovel in his hand, full of energy; Wuxin can't see his eyes at the moment, his nose and lips are like statues, and he is not alive.
At the end, he looked at the wandering ghosts in the distance, and Master Gu couldn't help but feel timid. He raised his hand and touched his neck, he was pinched by the paper man, and now his Adam's apple is still aching: "I'm really going? I haven't done this work before! Otherwise, you should go, you even have bones. You've been beaten by meat ghosts, and you're still afraid of these paper beings?"
Crescent Moon turned her back to the fire and could hear it clearly, she couldn't help but say, "If he could go, he would have gone long ago, and he would have to use you to rush him? Don't use him as a gun!"
Master Gu was bent over half-standing, holding a machete in his hand. Unexpectedly, when he was in trouble, Wuxin suddenly reached out and grabbed his machete, then bent over to pick up a ball of coal from the fire, and threw it up high and swung the knife around. The back of the knife hit the charcoal, and in the darkness of the night, I saw a bolide flying out rapidly, and a rootless firework immediately rose in the distance, and a paper figurine immediately vanished into ashes.
"Master Gu." Wuxin took the machete and circled around the fire again: "It's not that I don't do it, it's that I'm afraid that if I leave you, you will be in danger. The few paper figures around are the ones we can do. What we can see; what we can't see in the depths of the woods, who knows how many there are? Who knows if there will be other things besides paper figures?"
Crescent Moon pondered and said, "I have never seen a ghost that can walk all over the street during the day. No matter how powerful they are, they will be finished when they see the sun. The big deal is that we will wait until dawn, and then go down the cave to get the gold. Wild vegetables, no rain and no mushrooms, who has nothing to go to the mountains? We take out the gold during the day, and it should not be seen by others. If you are afraid of going down the mountain and encountering people, you will endure hunger and go home when it gets dark!"
Crescent Moon's idea is stupid, but Wuxin and others are outnumbered, and there is no other way to think of it. The three of them guarded a pile of fire and stopped moving, but when the sky turned white, Master Gu could see it clearly, and saw that the paper figures were getting lighter and lighter like shadows, and finally they really disappeared without a trace!
As soon as Mr. Gu was relieved, he was refreshed. Crescent Moon was young and in good health, and it was not painful to survive the night. He only yawned unintentionally and was sleepy. The three had no dry food and no water. They were afraid that they would be exhausted if they were delayed any longer. Wuxin knew that the inside of the cave was not clean, but the sun was shining brightly and birds chirping everywhere outside the cave, and it was a hearty scene. It was not the time when ghosts and gods were wreaking havoc, so he was the first to jump into the cave and played the striker just like last night. Master Gu grew a heart, tore off the two sleeves of his coat and wrapped it around a thick branch, and found a pine tree dipped in rosin to make a torch, so that Wuxin could use it to illuminate the road ahead. The three of them bent down and drilled into the inclined hole, and they walked very smoothly all the way. After turning a few big turns, Wuxin suddenly froze in his heart, thinking that outside the cave is daytime, but inside the cave there is no daylight, it will always be night. The sun in the sky can not dispel the darkness in the ground.
The moment he had the idea, the whimper resounded like a ghost cry. Crescent Moon and Master Gu both fought a cold war, and at the same time only heard Wuxin roar: "How about your mother's mourning! Are you going to rob your bones when you are an old man?"
As soon as these words came out, the cave immediately returned to silence. Crescent Moon and Master Gu are completely convinced by Wuxin—scolding the ghosts for being honest!
After turning the last corner, Wuxin stopped, and saw that the front had reached the bottom, and the space was a little wider. There were three old wooden boxes stacked against the wall of the cave. In the flickering firelight, the wooden box showed no signs of decay, and the pattern on it was just like that. It could be seen that not to mention the gold in the box, the box itself was no ordinary wood.
Master Gu squeezed forward, reached out and patted the box: "Yes, it's my baby!"
Wu Xin finally saw the box and handed the torch to Crescent Moon behind him. He was going to help Master Gu to tie the box and carry it on his back. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the crying started again, and it was by the three of them!
Inadvertently grabbed the torch Misheng and took a photo, I saw the wall beside the cave was uneven, and there was a large jar more than half a meter high in the dark. The smooth enamel itself. And Tankou Black Waterfall's long hair is scattered, as if there is a head hidden inside!
Crescent Moon was really startled, and hid her voice behind Wuxin. Master Gu was about to move the box, but now he was dumbfounded, turned his head and opened his mouth to stare at the jar in a daze. There was a faint sob from the jar, and there was a rustling sound in the surrounding cave walls, as if a big change was brewing. Suddenly a piece of soil fell on Crescent Moon's shoulder, and Crescent Moon turned his head to look, and saw that the cave wall gradually showed a fragment the size of a palm, and at the same time, he heard Wuxin shouting: "Run!"
Crescent Moon didn't even think about it, she turned her head and ran out, and she jumped out with her front feet, and a **** arm stretched out from the wall of the hole on her back feet, and slammed into Wuxin's sleeves. Master Gu saw clearly, pulled out the machete and chopped off his arm, then turned around and flew out. After the Wuxin Hall was over, before he was about to escape, he looked back at the jar, and saw the head of a woman with drawn eyebrows raised at the mouth of the altar, who was grinning **** from the seven orifices.
The surrounding soil fell faster and denser, and the arms stretched out one after another, like a parasite on the wall of the cave, sticky and stinky, scratching endlessly. Crescent Moon is the smallest of the three, and his waist is thin and flexible, so he bends over and touches the dark, running fast all the way. Mr. Gu has broad shoulders, broad backs, big waist and round waist, and runs and bumps into the wall. Those who are entangled in the arms in the hole will not be able to move, and can only slash through the obstacles with the machete. Wuxin was unarmed, with only one extinguished torch, he bit three fingers in a row, but he didn't squeeze out even a drop of blood. Suddenly, a **** hand grabbed his torch tightly, and he let go of it off guard. In the darkness, he saw the torch disappear into the cave wall with the **** hand, and he disappeared without a trace.
The two stumbled towards the front. Master Gu knew that it was broad daylight outside, and as long as you got out of the hole, you would be safe, so he was full of energy. Halfway through the fight, his eyes were red, and he threw a machete into the air. Seeing a faint light in front of him, he closed his eyes and hacked and slashed, struggling to turn a corner, he held the machete and opened his eyes, and saw Crescent standing at the entrance, looking anxiously inside. .
Involuntarily, he was pushed forward by Wuxin. Master Gu still maintained an angry expression. At the same time, he found that the wall of the cave had returned to its original state. The three of them crawled onto the ground, crescent moon slumped, and there was nothing to say in fear, but Wuxin gave Master Gu a punch in the chest: "Good guy, you **** hid the gold in the ghost hole, no wonder you let me Come and help! But it's fine if you lie to me, you're too embarrassed to let Crescent Moon follow him to take risks?"
As soon as Master Gu's spirit relaxed, his body immediately became tired, and he fell on his back with the strength of his fist: "Master, I swear to God, I really didn't know there was a ghost inside... When I was putting gold , there's no danger at all, just let it go in, and I'll come out when it's done... Can I give my gold to the ghost? Am I crazy?"
Wuxin is really angry: "If you are pulled into the wall by a ghost, you will be suffocated in a few minutes. If I am pulled into the wall by a ghost, what will I do? If I can't escape, I will boil inside. How long will it take?"
Master Gu looked up at him pitifully: "Master, don't be disheartened, you can find a way for me, how can I get my gold out?"
Inadvertently waved his sleeves: "Fuck you! Crescent Moon and I haven't slept all night, haven't eaten breakfast, and haven't earned a fart. I'll find a way for you? Give you a mouth, do you want it?"
After saying this, he pulled up the crescent moon: "Let's go, let's go home!"
