Vermillion mole

Wu Xie was a little confused: "What is a contract?"

Zhu Sha thought for a while: "That's right, I signed a contract with her soul, allowing her soul to stay in her body, but she has to complete the things in the contract, and she can come back to life after completion."

Wu Xie was even more confused: "Is there such a good thing in this world?"

Pan Zi was convinced: "It's true, I also died, and Zhu Sha also signed with me. The contract is to do odd jobs for her for a month."

The fat man smiled: "Little fairy, in case I die one day, remember to sign a contract with me or something. You can do it all over again after a month's work. I've made a lot of money."

Pan Zi kicked it, and the fat man smiled and avoided it.Zhu Sha looked at the group of people after finishing the engraving. Two sick patients and one weak chicken chose to let the fat man carry Ah Ning on his back.

Zhu Sha supported Pan Zi, and walked forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot. After walking for more than ten minutes, she couldn't find a dry place to rest.The sun is getting higher and higher, and the coolness of the heavy rain last night is gone. Except for Zhu Sha, everyone has reached the limit. They are too tired. After a night of running, fighting, climbing trees, dying, and escaping, even Iron Man has no strength. What's worse, as the temperature rises, the humidity here becomes very high, the fat man can't stand this, he's gasping for breath, finally Wu Xie goes up to help him

Suddenly there was a downward slope in the canyon ahead, and the rainwater stream on the ground became very urgent and flowed down the slope. Several people walked down the stream carefully, and only went down to the bottom of the slope, and they could see the canyon. The exit appears in front of you.

The trees outside became sparse, and it was all a black swamp, which was more than 200 meters long, and then slowly began to grow dense. Behind it was a large piece of aquatic rainforest soaked in the swamp, all of which were not tall but extremely lush aquatic trees. Intertwined and unfathomable.

After walking a few more steps, we came to the edge of the swamp. From here, the view of the swamp is limited, not as vast as what we saw from the top of the valley outside.If you are not walking along the mountain wall, you don’t know that you have already left the valley. There is still a dense forest in front of you. It feels like a continuation of the canyon.Of course, there are still some differences. The more I walk, the more I feel wrong. The water is getting deeper, and the sludge in the ground is getting weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, in the shallow part of the swamp, there was a large flat stone that protruded abruptly from the swamp and was not submerged by water.

Fortunately, in the shallow part of the swamp, there was a large flat stone that protruded abruptly from the swamp and was not submerged by water.It is very strange how there is such a big stone here. Everyone waded through the water and climbed up, only to find that this huge stone is carved with complicated decorative patterns, and there is a very huge shadow under the water , appearing to be part of several large statues side by side.

In fact, this is an entrance to the City of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West is the king of the Western Regions and the absolute spiritual leader of the Western Regions for a long time, so the entrance to the City of the Queen Mother of the West is naturally not too shabby. Maybe this is a stone sculpture at that time, or It is the statue on the city defense building here, which is used to deter the envoys spiritually. Of course, after so many years, it is naturally impossible for this kind of statue to be preserved under the erosion of rain.

At first glance, the ancient patterns on the stone seem to be very similar to those of Angkor Wat. When I look closely, I find that it is not the pattern of Khmer Buddhism, but because the stone has been blackened and grayed by the wind and rain. It looks very ancient and mysterious.

Just thinking about if there is a collapsed statue here, then whether there are other relics under the swamp, I heard the fat man say hello, let us look at him.

Turning his head to look, he saw that under the sun, densely packed and huge black shadows appeared in the deep part of the black swamp in front of him. It seemed that something was sinking. It looked like stones, and some of them were completely underwater.Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling looked through the binoculars, only to be surprised to find that the shadows under the swamp seemed to be all ruined walls, stretching all the way to the center of the swamp.The ruins of the ancient city of the Queen Mother of the West were actually buried under this swamp.

"There should be a very lush ancient city in this valley. After the disintegration of the Queen Mother of the West, the ancient city was abandoned, the drainage system collapsed, the groundwater surged up, and the rainwater with sediment and sludge for thousands of years flooded the whole city. The city is submerged under the water. It seems that the West Queen Mother City is very large, and what we see now is only a handful." Zhang Qiling said lightly.

"Their beliefs are not protecting them, and it's normal to disintegrate. What's more, Queen Mother Xi's status is not low in the past, and it's normal to be large." Zhu Sha replied lightly, Zhang Qiling glanced at Zhu Sha, and didn't say anything.

The stone was relatively dry, Wu Xie put down Ah Ning's body, and several people were exhausted, so they sat down to rest.

A few old men took off their clothes and spread them on the stones to dry. The fat man wanted to start a smokeless stove, but he couldn't find any of them after searching through the luggage. Maybe they lost all of them during the chaos last night and couldn't start a fire. , just use the lamp cotton on the fuel can to make do.Unexpectedly, the swamp here turned out to be salt water, and it seemed that there was a large salt marsh nearby. Fortunately, the rainwater washed down from the canyon, and the mouth was basically tasteless, otherwise drinking water might be a problem.

They soaked in the water all night, the skin on their bodies was wrinkled, their shoes were taken off, their feet were all soaked white, and the skin fell off as soon as they were buckled. Pan Zi handed Wu Xie his cigarette, saying it was earthen smoke, When he parted, he asked Tashi what he wanted, so he could get wet.

Cinnabar also ordered a cigarette, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, but after such a toss last night, it was also damp

The fat man also asked him for it, Pan Zi pinched half of it and gave it to him.He ordered it after a few mouthfuls and it was gone, and he refused to give it when he asked for panzi again.At this time, seeing Zhang Qiling silent, looking at the swamp on one side thoughtfully, Zhu Sha also pinched half of it for him, and he also took it, put it in his mouth and started chewing, and Zhu Sha also put it in his mouth to chew.

"Damn it, little brothers and fairies, if you don't know how to smoke, don't waste things." Fatty protested, "This thing is not for eating."

Pan Zi scolded, "You know what a fart, eating tobacco is much more exciting than smoking. In Yunnan and Myanmar, people chew more." Pan Zi said again, but he felt puzzled after he finished speaking, so he looked at Zhang Qiling: "But look at the little one. Brother, you don’t look like an old smoker? How do you know how to chew tobacco leaves? Did you run across the boat or did Zhusha teach you?”

Zhang Qiling replied lightly: "Well, she taught."

After chewing a few mouthfuls, he spit out the tobacco on his hands to smear the wounds on his palms.Zhu Sha glanced at it, and saw that the flesh in his palm turned white. Although there was no bleeding, it was obvious that the high temperature here also made it difficult for the wound to heal. Zhu Sha sat down and rummaged through the backpack, found a pack of medicine powder, and grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand Just sprinkle it on.

Zhang Qiling immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This medicine was made by Zhu Sha himself, and it is very effective, but the defect is that it makes people feel very painful, like a severed arm pain. Zhang Qiling just broke out in a cold sweat and didn't cry out.

Zhu Sha seemed to be taking revenge, and immediately fell all over, took out a bandage and wrapped it around him, and said while wrapping it up, "I didn't abuse you when you were young, didn't I, why did you look like an unwanted child. I've said it thousands of times, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a child to me, and you won't open your mouth even after being hurt like this, how much I feel sorry for my sister."

After wrapping the bandage, he tied a beautiful bow. Pan Zi smiled when he saw the bow: "The bow is very beautiful!"

Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand in embarrassment, Zhu Sha saw him smiling like this, and walked towards Pan Zi holding the bandage: "You look good, I'll make you look good too."

Then he pressed Pan Zi to the ground, not knowing what he was doing.Wu Xie and Fatty only heard Pan Zi begging for mercy, only Zhang Qiling silently looked away. Ten minutes later, Zhu Sha stood up, and Pan Zi also stood up.

Wu Xie and Fatty laughed so hard they almost lost their breath when they saw Pan Zi, only to see that Pan Zi was tied with a bow tied with cinnabar all over his body.Zhang Qiling also smiled faintly, and Zhu Sha couldn't help laughing when he looked at Pan Zi who was covered in bows.

Immediately there was laughter and laughter, and the depressive atmosphere disappeared. The fat man took out the compressed dried meat and shared it with everyone. The five of them munched on the tea, chatting and laughing from time to time.

Afterwards, everyone rested, and Zhu Sha silently looked at the sky in a daze. She was a little concerned about the gentle man in her memory. The memory engraved deep in her soul, even if her soul was incomplete, she could still remember him, which showed his position in her heart. Unusual

I don't know how long it took, and Zhu Sha, who was wandering in the sky, was patted.Zhu Sha was taken aback. Seeing that it was Pan Zi, she hurriedly asked what's the matter?

Pan Zi whispered back: "Something came up just now and touched Ah Ning's body."

Zhu Sha got up in a daze and ran to Ah Ning's side, saw that there were several mud marks on the body's clothes, followed the mud marks, and found a few small muddy footprints beside the body .

Pan Zi took a look at Zhu Sha, and followed the mud prints, and found that the footprints had been spreading up from the swamp. Because of the rain, they were already very inconspicuous, only the ones around the corpse were still very clear.

Zhang Qiling was also awakened by Wu Xie and came over, and frowned after seeing the situation, while Pan Zi asked: "Zhu Sha, why are you keeping watch at night, you didn't notice anything coming up, it's not like you!"

Zhu Sha was a little embarrassed, she was just in a daze as soon as there was no accident on Weibo, Zhang Qiling's expression changed again: "There is only one row of footprints, and that thing hasn't left yet." He said softly.

Zhang Qiling looked at Zhu Sha with some puzzlement: "What's wrong with you, since you left and saw you again, you seem to have lost your soul, and you didn't notice such a small thing?"

It was also the first time Wu Xie heard Zhang Qiling say so many words, and she looked like cinnabar. Indeed, seeing her again after she lost her was really a bit strange.

At this moment, Pan Zi smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, when everyone is in a bad mood, the little third master should go and wake up the fat man."

Wu Xie retreated behind the fat man, and called Pan Zi after a while.

"What's the matter?" Pan Zi turned around and asked, Wu Xie pointed to the place where the mud marks were, and showed him. "There are also here!"

While aiming at Ah Ning's body, Pan Zi retreated to Wu Xie's side, looked down, scolded his mother, and moved the gun head over.Zhang Qiling turned around and saw it too, and stepped back.Zhu Sha looked at Ah Ning, her complexion was a bit uneasy, and it was impossible for her to wake up if her soul could not be fully integrated within 24 hours.

Zhu Sha sighed and retreated to the side of the fat man. At first glance, she looked like she had been sweating, and she was covered in cold sweat. It may be that she was frightened. Suddenly, two or three unknown objects came from the fat man's shoulder at a very fast speed. Xia rushed out and rushed to Wu Xie's hand all at once.

Zhu Sha didn't dare to be dazed any longer, and remained vigilant the whole time, grabbing two flying objects directly, and one of them escaped, Zhang Qiling didn't chase it either.

Zhu Sha saw that the thing in his hand turned out to be a snake, it was the neck of a pheasant! Seeing that he had been caught, the neck of the pheasant turned around as if Zhu Sha had bitten him, and Zhu Sha didn't hide and let him bite.

After Wu Xie yelled carefully, Zhu Sha was also bitten.But seeing that Zhu Sha was still smiling happily, she was not afraid anymore.

The two pheasant necks were a little dazed seeing Zhu Sha survived being bitten, and after two more bites, the pheasant necks did not dare to move at all.

Zhu Sha chuckled: "Little bastard, even if your ancestor came here, he wouldn't be able to bite me to death. Just the poison on you is not even as good as my little cutie's saliva. Do you know that?"

Then he raised his head and said to Wu Xie: "Come on, take off your shirt and let my little cutie out."

Wu Xie was taken aback when he lifted his shirt, only to see a worm on his stomach, it was the golden silkworm Gu, and the pheasant's neck didn't dare to move when it saw the golden silkworm Gu.

Wu Xie handed the golden silkworm Gu to Zhang Qiling, and then went to pat the fat man, who woke up and sat up immediately, his face pale, but he was still in a daze.He looked at the few of us, and then at the sky, a little puzzled.Seeing that we looked at him as if we were facing a big enemy, it took a long time before we said: "What the hell are you doing? Fat Lord, I am a showman but not a person, it is useless to look at me."

Seeing that he should be fine like this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.But Wu Xie was still worried, so he asked the fat man to turn around and check him, and it was true that he was not bitten.The fat man felt even more baffled when Wu Xie asked him to take off his clothes. When he asked Wu Xie what was going on, Wu Xie told him what happened just now.

The fat man was dubious until he saw the two pheasant necks in Zhu Sha's hand.Wu Xie got up again and walked to the side of Ah Ning's corpse, Zhu Sha threw the two little snakes to the Golden Silkworm Gu, Zhu Sha watched the Golden Silkworm Gu bully the two king snakes, the pheasant's neck was also a small dragon, but was bullied by the Golden Silkworm Gu It's outrageous.

Suddenly the fat man behind him exclaimed, turned around immediately, looked along his light, and saw a figure about twenty meters away in the swamp in front of him, who seemed to have drilled out of the mud of the swamp.

After going down to take a closer look, he exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's Chen Wenjin!" He rushed into the swamp and waded towards that person.

Zhu Sha was taken aback, Pan Zi was taken aback, Wu Xie was also taken aback... the three of them only thought of one sentence...Chen Wenjin?The old friend of the eldest nephew (third uncle) (third master)?
