Subconsciously, Wan Li touched the fishing rod box on his shoulder. There was no shaking. He took another look and saw that the blood wood sword inside did not emit red light. This proved that there was no evil thing nearby, but what he saw in front of him was Why did the lights suddenly go out?
He stood warily for a few seconds, then slowly turned around.
Behind him, the flowing firelight flickered. After counting, they are still the same four flowing fires! That is to say, the fire did not go out at all, but its direction changed, from in front of him to behind him!
How did you end up behind him in the blink of an eye? He was still at least two hundred meters away from the fire. If they had to turn at such a large angle, the distance would be even longer. How could they do it so quickly? Also, why did that dark strange house appear behind him? There's no way the house has been turned 180 degrees, right? Unless what he saw was illusory, like a mirage, a trap set by the mountain ghost for him, or - it was not the strange house and the flowing fire in front of the house that turned around, but himself!
He was sure that this was not a ghost hitting the wall, because the blood-wood sword did not react at all. So what's going on? Could it be that this situation occurs because you walked into a certain formation? This means that there is a formation about two hundred meters away from the strange house. Since this is an inaccessible barren mountain and old forest, it is basically certain that it was arranged by the owner of the house, probably to prevent uninvited guests from intruding.
For the owner of the house, a late night visit is an uninvited guest!
He didn’t know any formations or anything, and he didn’t understand the direction at all, so he could only give it a try. He stared at the four flames and walked forward slowly, trying to keep walking in a straight direction, watching the strange monster leave. The house was getting closer and closer, and suddenly it fell into darkness without warning, exactly the same as before.
When he turned around, the strange house and lights appeared in the direction behind him again!
"What a ghost!" Wan Li frowned, looking at the strange house that seemed to never get closer, and muttered in a low voice.
He had to find Master Long, so he couldn't get close to this strange house in the mountains at once, so he could only keep walking. However, he thought that since he was walking towards the fire, when he reached a certain position, the strange house would turn 180 degrees unconsciously, so he might as well try walking with his back to the fire to see if it would turn exactly towards him. in front of.
He calmed down, determined his position, and then walked in the opposite direction to the fire. However, after walking for more than ten minutes, he suddenly realized that something was wrong - he was getting further and further away from the strange house, as if he had already Got out of that formation. Turning around, I saw that the lights were dimming.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to walk back, but when he was about two hundred meters away from the strange house, he still reversed his direction as usual, as if there was an invisible turntable on the ground.
Wanli tried again without giving up, but the result was the same - if you walked towards the fire, you would turn, and no matter you walked away from the fire, or walked to the left or right, you would always walk out of that weird formation. Law!
Having wandered around in the forest for half the night, he was already exhausted. Now he was trapped in this unsolvable dilemma. He had no choice but to sit down on the ground and decided to rest for a while, ignoring the mosquitoes. Bites.
After sitting like this for a while, he suddenly realized that he was stupid again. In fact, he should adopt the most common method of visiting others.
He stood up, cleared his throat, and shouted to the strange house, "Master Long, Master Long, are you there? My name is Wan Li, and I'm here to visit."
The night in the deep mountains was very quiet. When Wan Li screamed like this, his voice was particularly loud, abrupt, and carried a profound echo. It not only startled a group of birds, but even himself.
However, the strange house was still lifeless and unresponsive. Even the four lights flowing outside the house moved at the original speed and frequency without being affected in the slightest.
Wan Li looked around uncomfortably and continued to call the door, "Master Long, I know you are inside, please stop hiding from the world, okay? I don't dare to disturb you late at night. If it's not an emergency, I won't. I will come to trouble you, old man, and it will involve several lives!"
Silence.
"Master Long, even if I beg you, as long as you point out a clear way, I will save people myself. I don't bother you to do it myself. If I need anything to see you, I will do it. "He knows that such an outsider is always a bit eccentric. He doesn't necessarily want any expensive gifts, but he may want to test him or test him.
However, there was still silence.
Wan Li begged a few more times, but was surprised that there was still no movement in the house, and couldn't help but get a little angry. Because according to his investigation, although Master Long could not be said to be an aid to evildoers, and he wanted to calm down the resentful spirits so that they could go to where they should go smoothly, he did not redress the injustice of these people who died in vain. , and it’s selfish. Now that there is such a big problem in the new town, he must bear a certain responsibility. Why is his attitude still so arrogant? !
"Master Long, you can't make me a fortune in silence." When he got angry, he started to speak rudely, "Those people died so unjustly, and now they want revenge. They have powerful powers. If you ask someone to help you, your demon-suppressing tower and Feng Shui layout have been broken by others, and the resentful spirits cannot be contained at all. You have to help others to the end. Now here is a trick: 'It has nothing to do with you, just hang it up' Isn’t it too late?”
Still silent.
"Master Long, my friends were inadvertently imprisoned in New Town. They are completely innocent." Wan Li said loudly, "I have to see you. If you insist on not seeing me and push me, don't Blame me for setting the mountain on fire!"
This time, although there was still no sound for a long time, Wan Li felt that his words made Master Long who was hiding in the room react. Sure enough, after a full minute, an old sigh came from the strange house. It was so far away, but it clearly reached Wanli's ears.
"Innocent? Not necessarily?"
"They were not the ones who harmed me back then!"
"But it was the so-called 'master' who did the weird thing to deal with your friends. Otherwise, how could those resentful spirits come out? It's just one month away, just one month. Alas--" Master Long sighed again He shouted, his voice full of powerlessness and sadness.
The conclusion of Wanli Yu.
This is the fact. Because Sima Nan wants to deal with Ruan Zhan, all the dead and living people have become pawns on his chessboard.
"Master Long, but——"
"If you insist on seeing me, then come." Master Long interrupted Wan Li, "Be careful."
Wan Li didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't feel any change in the surrounding environment. After hearing Master Long say this, he suddenly became silent again, and had no choice but to tentatively walk towards the fire.
After walking out for more than ten steps, Wan Li knew that he had broken through the formation, because he felt that the strange house in front of him was slowly getting closer. Although he didn't understand why there was still no light in the strange house, he still didn't care. He walked over hesitantly.
The strange house is a huge courtyard with very short walls. With a height of thousands of miles, you can easily climb over it. But he didn't have to go crazy, because the door to the yard was wide open, and he didn't know whether it was opened specially for him or whether it had never been closed.
Wanli did not dare to take the risk, so he stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and looked inside. He saw that there were only two stone houses in the yard. The one facing him was very large, but the one on the left was very small. The overall feeling was quite strange. coordination. Moreover, there was nothing in the yard except a well, which was so empty that it made people panic!
"Master Long, I'm here." Out of courtesy, he said his name, shined his flashlight on the threshold, and raised one foot.
"No trespassing!" The moment Wan Li's feet crossed the threshold, someone on both sides of his body suddenly spoke at the same time, but as neatly as one person's voice.
Wan Li was startled, not knowing that besides Master Long, there were other people in this strange house!
He looked left and right and saw two figures on each side of the courtyard wall, each holding a lantern in his hand, which was the light he saw in the distance. Now he understood why the lights were flowing, because the four people were divided into two groups like patrols, holding lanterns and walking around the yard. He didn't see them at the door just now because they happened to go to the back of the house. .
Wan Li was a little confused. He didn’t know that Master Long’s family actually had guards!
He looked at the ground. In this starless night, he saw four vague shadows on the ground, which made him relieved. He was in an emergency, and he didn't want to get entangled with any monsters. He just wanted to be a normal human being with a shadow.
But then, he felt that something was wrong with these four 'people'. Not only were they unusually silent, but their bodies standing upright also seemed particularly stiff, and the lantern they picked was even more strange.
Ordinary lanterns are light-transmissive on all sides, but the outer cover of this lantern is made of wood, square and square, with wooden boards on three sides. Only the outward side is empty, and the light also emits light from this place. .
The light from the lantern was very weak, and the four people held their arms outstretched and held them far away, so Wan Li couldn't see the faces of these four people at all. And after they said a word, they stopped talking. Wanli didn't move, and they didn't move either. Wanli tried to take a step back, and they moved forward a little, just like the robots.
He thought of Master Long telling him to 'be careful' and couldn't help but feel wary. Although the Blood Wood Sword didn't react, if Master Long had such great ability, it wouldn't be certain what he did. He is a hermit, so he will not be easily seen. But who are those four people? Zombies?
Out of courtesy, he never shined the flashlight in the direction of the four 'people'. At this moment, he no longer cared about these etiquettes. He slowly backed away while moving the flashlight's light towards the four people.
The black cloth shoes and white socks on the feet are no problem; the black long clothes and trousers on the body are no problem; the white gloves on the hands are no problem, until the bright light of the flashlight moves to the face little by little——
Generally, when light shines directly on a person's face, the person's eyes will not adapt and will instinctively dodge, squint, or block it with their hands. But when the strong light of the flashlight shines on the faces of these four people, they Still standing upright, no reaction at all. Moreover, under the light, Wan Li finally saw their faces clearly!
Wood! Their heads were made of wood, and so were their entire bodies, it seemed. They are not people at all, but puppets the same size as people!
Wan Li remembered that the villagers at the foot of the mountain had said that an old craftsman who made puppets lived on the mountain. He had always thought that it was Master Long’s identity disguise to hide his identity from others. Only now did he realize that he was really a puppet maker, but he The puppets you make can move and scare people late at night!
But Master Long's craftsmanship is not very good. The proportions of these puppets' limbs and bodies are normal, but their faces are blurry. The knife work is quite rough, and the painting is a mess, making the face red and green. It seemed even more eerie and terrifying late at night, and even a bold person like Wan Li was frightened.
He continued to retreat slowly, trying to keep a certain distance from the puppets, but he didn't pay attention to a stone under his feet, which staggered him and almost fell to the ground. His movement was loud, like flipping the switch of the four puppets. They immediately rushed towards Wan Li. Because Wan Li hadn't adjusted his steps yet, he was quite embarrassed to avoid the attack. The box with the bloodwood sword suddenly fell to the ground!
It was a rare treasure from the Taoist world. Although it could not play a big role in his own hands, he was always wary of being snatched away by people with ulterior motives. Now that Master Long was unknown, he certainly could not throw the Blood Wood Sword casually. on the ground.
Seeing the four puppets surrounding them again, he immediately threw himself to the ground to grab the sword. However, their movements were faster than he imagined. One of the puppets raised its solid wooden feet high, He aimed at Wan Li's outstretched arm and stepped on it hard. Wan Li was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.
With a 'bang' sound, a deep oval-shaped footprint appeared on the ground.
"***. So cruel!" Wan Li cursed, his heart became angry, and he got up and wanted to fight back, but two puppets on the side swung their arms at the same time and swept towards his chest and abdomen, forcing him to attack He jumped back a big step, but a gust of wind came from behind him again, forcing him to bend down and miss the third wave of attacks.
"There is still cooperation!" Even without the beautiful woman watching the battle, he still kept talking nonsense and provocatively threw the flashlight in his right hand at the nearest puppet.
Who would have thought that the puppet would not hide and hit him hard. Because he used too much force, the flashlight suddenly broke. If it were not for the four lanterns neatly placed on the ground not far away, He would immediately be plunged into the darkness of night. Looking at the puppet again, its head was suddenly smashed off and rolled into the grass next to it, but it still didn't move. Another puppet went to help it find it.
Wan Li was stunned for a moment, then secretly cursed himself for being reckless!
He has always been witty, but this time he made many mistakes because he was anxious to rescue Ruan Zhan and Xiaoxia, and because he was in an isolated and helpless state. He forced himself to calm down and saw a puppet reinstalling the head of a decapitated puppet. He quickly seized this opportunity and rushed to the puppet on the other side in two steps. He lit up the sole of his shoe and kicked it directly. The crook of the puppet's leg.
Of course the puppet didn't feel any pain anymore. What hurt was his feet. Although he kicked it with the soles of his feet and didn't dare to kick it directly with his feet, it still made him feel numb under his feet. But this worked. Although it didn't hurt, it couldn't stand still and fell straight to the ground!
This is his experience from fighting zombies. Although this puppet is weird, its body is stiff and the principle is similar.
Just now he saw that the puppet's head seemed not to be connected to the body, but to be installed on the torso together with the neck, so after knocking down a puppet, he immediately threw himself on its side and pressed its wooden legs with his legs. , one hand pressed on its chest, and the other hand pulled its head hard.
There was just a 'click' sound, and the puppet's head was ripped off by him!
Waiting for any reaction from the puppet, he kicked it away and threw the severed head far away. His arm strength was not weak, and the severed head slid in the air for a considerable distance before falling to the ground with a slight muffled sound.
He threw it too far, causing the puppets to lose their sense of purpose for a moment. They tried to find the head but were unable to find it. The decapitated puppet immediately acted like a power-off robot, unable to attack Wanli anymore.
Taking advantage of the moment when the severed puppet in front of him was as motionless as the pile of rotten wood, Wan Li quickly threw down the other puppet who was still in a daze, and followed the same pattern. But when he got up to deal with the third one, the puppet learned the lesson. Although it fell to the ground due to stiff joints, one of its hands kept pressing on its head, allowing Wanli to twist it twice without twisting it off. But its other hand also pressed on Wan Li's face, desperately squeezing his head to the ground!
Although the puppet's movements are clumsy, they are extremely powerful. Even though Wan Li's strength is already great, the struggle still feels like a tree is shaking, and there is no way to break free!
There was a burning pain in the back of his neck and head. Wanli knew that it was caused by the rough sand and gravel on the ground. He knew that if this continued, the puppet would crush his head and never press it on his face. Between the fingers of his wooden hand, he saw that the first puppet whose head he had smashed was moving a big stone and staggering towards him, knowing that it wanted to hit him to death. It's just that its head is mounted in the wrong direction and its face is facing backward, so it walks slower.
But even so, he will arrive sooner or later, and by then he will have no chance of survival!
Thinking like this, he simply let the puppet's hand press on his head, enduring the pain in the back of his head, and groped around him with both hands. He remembered that during the struggle, something sharp hit his waist and almost broke it. It must have been a big rock.
Waist side, no!
Rib, no!
Behind the crotch, no!
Over his shoulder, he finally touched something. The cold and rough texture told him that it was the usable stone!
He struggled too hard just now, so now the stone is in a place where he can touch it but cannot get it. Feeling that his head was about to burst, and the puppet with its head backwards was approaching, he gathered all his strength, pushed upwards, and took advantage of the gap of less than a second to turn his body in one direction. He hugged the rather large stone with both hands and turned over to smash the puppet that was entangled with him!
In a hurry, he didn't know where he was hit. He just felt the wooden hand holding his body loosen, and at the same time heard a sound of breaking through the air behind his head.
He hurriedly rolled to one side several times, heard a loud "bang" behind him, and felt an air flow similar to an air wave blowing onto his back. Turning around, he saw that the puppet that was clinging to him had a stone smashed outside its chest and embedded in its wooden body. Another, bigger stone hit its belly, crushing it in half. !
"HOHO, you accidentally injured your comrade." Wan Li jumped up first, then leaned down and yelled.
The face of the last puppet is facing backward, so its leg bends are right in front of him. It is too easy to knock him down. With such a good opportunity in front of him, can he still miss it? !
The puppet fell down at the sound, and Wan Li jumped up again, kicking out its head that was not firmly installed!
Ah--
The cry came from thousands of miles away!
"My feet!"
