Thousand Lantern Night

Xiao Hua stood in the rear for me, and I quickly rushed out of the encirclement of those monsters and kept running forward.The stone bridge connects the entire huge space. It was originally just a route, but the more I ran into it, the more complicated the route became.I don't know if the fat man in the back wakes up, even if he wakes up, he and Xiao Hua are still very dangerous.So I can't think too much at this time, all my energy is focused on distinguishing the direction of the piano sound.

The stone bridge twists and turns and has many branches. After running for a while, I can't tell the direction at all.I secretly regretted that I didn't leave a road sign, even if I found the destination later, I couldn't find Xiaohua and Fatty again when I turned around.What frightened me even more was that the further I ran inside, the darker the light became, and the light sources on the surrounding stone walls became less and less, and it was simply darkness if I went a few tens of meters further.

I quickly took out a flashlight from the backpack that Xiaohua gave me, and used it to explore the way.I continued to run for about ten minutes, and after turning seven or eight turns, the sound of the piano suddenly disappeared.I returned to the state before I met Xiaohua and Fatty, groping in the dark alone.

Of course, with the previous experiences, I am really tired of this state.I wanted to go back to find Xiaohua and the others, but when I looked back, I found that the road I came from showed a claw in front of me, leading to countless different directions, just like countless branches growing from the trunk, intricate.It's very different from the route I just took.I suddenly remembered the weird logic of this place that the fat man had described to me. It seemed that as long as the road was traveled, it could only go forward, and there was no retreat.My heart said it was good.

The visual range can only radiate to the distance of the direct light of the flashlight.I scanned the surrounding area with a flashlight, trying to visually measure the size of the space.The wall in front is not the kind of stone wall I saw before, but a row of stilted buildings stretching along the mountain for more than 200 meters. The grandeur is unimaginable.I was stunned for a moment. There was actually a house. Could it be that there were residents in this kind of place?

The sudden appearance of the stilted building didn't make me relax my vigilance. Of course I didn't dare to go up and kick the door open and shout "robbery". What's more, at a place about 600 meters away from the stilted building, the stone bridge on the ground collapsed for a long time. , I visually measured that it was about seven or eight meters, and I couldn't get through it at all.Looking at this building with a flashlight, I automatically outlined the ancient building of the Zhang family that I had explored in my mind, and my mood was so complicated.I stopped at the edge of the broken bridge, wondering if there might be something we were looking for in that building, or if there was another mystery, and whether I should find a way to get there.

At this time, gunshots suddenly came from behind the building.It rang once, but because the environment was very quiet, I could hear it clearly.Then there was a flash of fire in the building, and it seemed that someone was shaking a flashlight, and at the same time there were very noisy voices, as if they were shouting something loudly.

Could it be them who are stuffy?My heart was trembling, thinking that the big troops were in the building, I wished I could jump right away to see what happened.

The problem is that the ditch in front of me cannot be crossed by crossing. I thought to myself, if I can also cross it with only a bamboo pole like Xiaohua, it will save effort.I searched around and found that there were half lengths of iron chains hanging down from each end of the broken bridge. It seemed that there should have been a suspension bridge here before. situation.

I squatted on the ground and dug out all the things in the little flower bag, trying to see if there was any tool I could borrow to help me get there.After tossing around for a long time, only a bunch of traction ropes that Xiaohua used before still look good.I tossed the coil of rope in distress, planning in my mind to jump over here in the swing style of Tarzan, and then grab the iron chain on the opposite side and climb up again. This coil of rope can also play a role of insurance.

I sighed, guesswork doesn't help me in this situation.I quickly got up and packed the bag on my back, stuffed the flashlight into the bag, pulled out a cold firework and threw it across the broken bridge.I tied one end of the leash around my waist and tied a few knots tightly.Then he lay down on the edge of the collapsed bridge, pulled up the half of the iron chain, and tied the other end of the rope to the iron chain.After doing this, I stood up and moved my limbs, and then dragged the rope back until the rope was completely stretched. The strong elasticity made me almost unable to stand still.

I took a deep breath on the spot, and was about to run up, when I suddenly heard someone snort softly behind me.The voice was very close to me, and the smile was brisk, and it could be vaguely heard that it was a girl.I was taken aback, and subconsciously looked back.

With the light of the cold fireworks on the other side of the bridge, I saw the face of a young girl behind me. At first glance, I felt that this face was a little familiar. I should have seen it somewhere.But before I had time to think about it, I suddenly discovered a weird feature on this girl, which made me almost yell out.

My eyes didn't have time to fall on other places other than this face, so at this time I didn't notice that the girl was not wearing any clothes at all.I just saw the girl's frightening eyes.When facing the light of a cold light source, normal people will definitely feel dazzling, and will close their eyes or avoid the light, but this girl, she stared straight at the dazzling cold light and opened her eyes wide. Her eyeballs are not transparent glass, It was a rust-red sphere as cloudy as a stone sculpture, completely immobile.If you look at these eyes alone, she is a statue!But the rest of her body looks like a normal person!Just don't know if there is a temperature.

I was covered in cold sweat, how dare I touch her body temperature.She smiled at me, her lips moved as if to speak to me.But I clearly heard a series of rattling noises coming from her mouth, exactly the same as those made by those charms before!I was so frightened that my feet slipped, and suddenly my waist was pulled violently, and my whole body staggered forward suddenly.At this time, I didn't care about the 64, so I just started running quickly with the elasticity of the rope, squatted, jumped, and swooped on the edge of the broken bridge, and ran to the iron chain on the other side of the bridge to jump in the air.

According to my calculations, I can probably jump about seven meters when I fly out like this. If I fully utilize my potential, I should be able to barely reach the iron chain over there.Maybe I was frightened by the thing behind, but I successfully grabbed the chain hanging under the bridge opposite.The unexpected situation is that I didn't expect to wear gloves and take some protective measures, so when I grabbed the falling trend with my hands, my palms were rubbed with two deep blood marks by the rust on the chain, which hurt so much. I gasp.

When I collapsed on the bridge deck and untied the rope around my waist with trembling and tingling hands, I found that my whole back was soaked, and I looked back at the bottomless abyss below. I trembled.The thing on the other side of the bridge also ran close, lying on the broken edge and looking at me, making a rattling call.I didn't even care about the injury on my palm, so I quickly got up and ran towards the building.

He ran downstairs in one breath, and the scale of the stilted building was even larger when viewed from a closer distance.Standing under the wooden pillars supporting the buildings, I felt very small.In the center of the buildings there is a step carved out of the rocks. I turned on the flashlight and took a look around. It seemed that there was only one passage that could go up.

But this is a super difficult road, because the entire stone steps are almost vertical to the ground, and the traces of excavation are very primitive, so the shapes of the stones are very irregular, and some parts can hardly even be stepped on. go down.Just imagine how difficult it is to climb on tiptoe on a straight mountain road.It took me a long time to finally climb up, and I rolled down on the corridor of the stilted building.His hands and feet trembled like he had Parkinson's, completely uncontrollable.

At this time, I was tired, hungry and thirsty, and my strength was almost exhausted.But I had the idea of ​​finding someone, and I was still thinking about Xiaohua and Fatty behind me, so I just took a break, then braced myself and continued walking along the long corridor to the building.Standing on the promenade, I realized that there are many rooms in this building complex, because there are many huge carved doors next to the promenade.Judging from the size of the door, the space in this building group should be very large, not like an ordinary residence.I walked to the door closest to me and tried to push it, but it opened without much effort.

There was an unpleasant smell coming from inside the door, a bit damp and musty, and also like something rotten and fermented. In short, it was an indescribable air that made people very uncomfortable.

If I didn't have an illusion just now, the gunshots I heard on the opposite side of the suspension bridge and the flames I saw should be in this area, so although I was very uncomfortable, I still pinched my nose and bravely entered the door.

After entering, I quickly noticed a threatening coldness, but I didn't really care about it, but there seemed to be such a coldness in every ghostly place.An air of sudden pause that caught my attention.It was as if there was a feast going on inside before I entered the door, but as soon as I took the first step, the buzz stopped abruptly.Something in the darkness suddenly stopped moving, and they all turned their heads, staring at me, the foreign intruder, motionless.

I don't know how I suddenly have such a keen sense, in addition to the slight rattle of the wooden door, the sound of hiking shoes stepping on the rocky ground, and the sound of my own heartbeat, I also heard an extremely subtle hissing sound in a trance, as if The sound of snakes spewing letters.I walked very slowly step by step. After walking straight forward for a dozen steps, something suddenly ran past in the empty hall, as fast as a gust of wind.

I took a deep breath, paused in place, and then took out the flashlight from my backpack.With the light source, I quickly scanned the room.As I thought, this hall is very big, and the light from the flashlight is not enough to reach the walls.I looked around and there was nothing staring at me.I laughed a little, thinking that my sense of being in the unknown space had become sharper, but in fact it was too sensitive, and I was a little neurotic.

I continued to walk inside with the flashlight on, and when I reached the center of the hall, the door behind me suddenly made a loud noise. "Bang" shut itself.I was trembling all over, and when I looked back, the flashlight suddenly caught a shadow, which flew past my sight extremely quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.I didn't even see what it was, I just felt the cold sweat on my back break out again.

I pressed my temples hard, and I felt that my nerves were really going to break.I forced myself to calm down, shaking the flashlight to prevent being attacked by unknown things, while groping inside.

Suddenly, I saw a few drops of blood on the ground.I knelt down to check carefully, the blood hadn't coagulated yet.Immediately I was overjoyed, it seemed that someone was really here just now!But I immediately became worried again, because blood meant there had been a fight, and there were definitely things in this room that would be bad for you.What are those shadows that move as fast as the wind?

I was sure there was someone here, and my heart was a little more settled.I thought about it quickly, took out a little flower's dagger from my backpack, and continued walking in the direction of the blood.Inside was a wall facing the gate. When I approached it, I was surprised, because from the bottom of the wall, there were countless human skeletons, complete and incomplete, piled up as high as a small hill.

The blood on the ground dripped densely here, and I guessed that the man should have stood here for a while.I looked at those skeletons carefully, and I always felt that something was wrong.Then I discovered that the wall full of skeletons was not actually a wall, but a partition similar to a screen.Just like the porch we usually see.Moreover, a corner of a stone slab protruded from the pile of skeletons, which seemed to be a huge altar.I whispered "ah", guessing that these skeletons were used as offerings.Just like the altars we see in temples, there are always fruits and flowers dedicated to gods.Then I wondered, so, what is enshrined here?

I wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly there was a very clear "hissing" sound behind me, which made me turn my head sharply.

I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground when I turned around.A lizard the size of a Chinese alligator, with its bright yellow eyes, was hissing and sticking out its tongue at me.There is nothing to be afraid of if it is just a lizard, but I know very well that such small animals usually act in groups.In the darkness behind the lizard, more icy exhalations showed that it had a strong backup.I suddenly thought of the shadow that was as fast as the wind in the darkness just now. The agility of this kind of thing seems to be amazing.

At this time, it was impossible to go out from the door, so I could only run inside to see if there was any way out behind this huge entrance.I stepped back slowly, but suddenly I stepped on a bone, and I slipped sideways and hit the pile of white bones hard.The bones rolled down with a clatter, and some of them splashed on the lizard's head.The flashlight dropped to the ground, facing the lizard.I saw it shaking its head, and the moment it lowered its head, I saw the shape of its upper jaw, which looked like a human face.It's just that the skin on the face is cracked, and it looks like a snake's face, which is very disgusting.

I leaned against the wall, clenched the short sword in my hand, and quickly figured out in my mind, if it attacked me, which part of it would be most lethal if I stabbed it.At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind the wall, grabbed me fiercely, and dragged me to the back of the wall.I was terrified, I didn't care if it was an enemy or a friend, I suddenly raised my dagger and stabbed at it.

The wrist was quickly intercepted and pressed hard against the wall, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.The opponent's other hand pressed my mouth hard, and at the same time restrained my chest and two legs with his knees and legs.I was subdued in an instant and couldn't move, so I shook my head vigorously, making a muffled whining sound.

"Wu Xie, it's me." The other party didn't let go of his hand, but suddenly he leaned on my ear and bit gently.

I froze there all of a sudden.At the same time, this scene suddenly felt very familiar.My nerves that were about to collapse suddenly relaxed, and I leaned softly against the wall.Depend on!This damn stuffy oil bottle scared me to death.
