Juvenile Tour [Jian San Yang Hua Tibetan Tang Dynasty]

[-]. Purple blood vine

Finally, October 19th came. On this day, the sea tide receded, and the hidden underwater hole was about to be exposed. The treasure of the Chen family, which had been submerged for [-] years and was stained with the blood of countless people, would finally reveal the true face of Lushan Mountain.

The tide receded in the wee hours of the morning. As early as the night before, the heroes from all walks of life in Gusu City were already gearing up and waiting by the seaside.This cape is called "Wangju", and there is no sandy beach, but black gravel stretching for more than ten miles, which hurts the soles of the feet even through shoes.

The burning torches flickered like stars. Ye Tianci roughly estimated the number of people, and there were as many as three to four hundred people.There was a sneer on his lips. Sure enough, people have endless desires. So many murders have not dispelled the greed of these people.

A full moon hangs above the head, the silver man is vast, and the galaxy is brilliant.

Finally, when the time came, the wave of white foam receded little by little, revealing the hole hidden under a pile of rubble.However, although everyone wished they could rush in immediately to hunt for treasure, no one present took the first step.

The cold and damp sea breeze passed through the crowd, blowing the sleeves of their clothes and hair.Finally, an old man with black straight clothes spoke softly and said: "If this place is really a treasure cave, there will be quite a lot of hidden weapons."

His words expressed exactly what everyone was thinking, but no one wanted to be such an early bird.Ye Tianci stood aside with his arms folded, and said leisurely, "This tide only lasts for half a day, everyone, don't waste your time."

Someone spit out and said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here, if you have the ability, can you go in?"

"I'm not stupid, why listen to you?" Ye Tianci was not moved by him at all, "Anyway, I'm not greedy for this treasure, I just came to join in the fun, you can discuss it slowly."

After all, he actually walked to the side rock and sat down.Just now he was so angry that his face turned red, but there was nothing he could do.

"Disciple, why don't you go in and take a look with your teacher first."

A seductive female voice suddenly spoke. It turned out that it was a plump woman leading a teenage apprentice.The apprentice said "Ah!", obviously a little scared, but he didn't dare to disobey, and followed the master obediently.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two walked into the cave one after the other.A pine light was thrown in, illuminating the boundary about three feet away.

"There is wind! Master, there is wind in here!"

The little apprentice's voice was cheerful, and the rest of the people were also refreshed - only in the extremely deep and far-reaching caves with unobstructed ends can there be wind, and the possibility of this place being the buried treasure of the Chen family is much higher point.The figures of those two people were getting further and further away, and they had a safe journey, even if someone followed them.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, those few brave people had just entered the cave when they heard the little apprentice scream.The friction sound of the machine's operation, and the sound of the crossbow arrows shooting out are numerous.Several people hastily withdrew to the way they came from, but it was already too late, and they died one after another within a foot away from the entrance of the cave.The shrill screams echoed repeatedly in the cave, like a ghost crying.

At the moment when the rest of the people were looking at each other in blank dismay, but did not dare to step forward to take a look, someone who saw it suddenly discovered that the pine light that had just been brought into the cave by the plump woman had not been extinguished, but continued to walk into the cave—it turned out that She actually broke through the organ.Encouraged by this, a few more people walked in hesitantly, with 12 points of caution.

The blood of the predecessors was still wet, splashed everywhere on the wet ground, and the latecomers had already stepped over their corpses and moved forward.

Ye Tianci also walked in with them, and before walking too far, he saw on the wall the hideous corpse of that little apprentice just now—it turned out that he was pierced by dozens of crossbow arrows and nailed hard on the opposite side on the wall.And the person he called "Master" didn't even close his eyes for him, and left without looking back.

The crowd walked forward while testing like this, leaving behind countless corpses along the way.The cave, which has just faded from the tide, is cold and dark, and the surrounding walls are covered with layers of shells and algae. Coupled with the torches in the hands of everyone, it seems to be walking through a dragon palace.

However, in this gloomy palace, there are no shrimp soldiers and crab generals and the hospitable dragon girl in the legend. Instead, there are various mechanism weapons with hidden murderous intentions.The Chen family is indeed worthy of being a family of craftsmen, the organs they made have been soaked in seawater for so many years, and they are still as sharp as before.

The smell of blood was blown away by the salty and fresh air. There was no trace of man-made chiseling in this passage, and the faults in the rock formed a natural ladder, all the way down, as if leading to hell.

I don't know how long it took, but the long road finally came to an end, and it turned out to be a wide natural stone hall.Numerous stalactites hang from the towering dome, showing various hideous shapes under the reflection of torches.Some people involuntarily exclaimed, the natural craftsmanship is far better than human capabilities.

Just at the corner of this stone hall, it is connected to another cave, but it is much narrower than the previous one, and there are strange purple vines growing inside.

The plump woman was standing at the entrance of the cave, wondering what she was thinking.She was the first one to come in, but she can live to this day, which makes people look at her differently.Dense vines covered the entire hole, looking like some kind of seaweed, but with long, thin leaves that were as sharp as swords.There is a huge flower bud in every two leaves, which is the size of a fist, and the layers of petals are wrapped into a tight ball.

This is quite a strange scene. In the cave that continues to extend down, there are lush climbing vines, which almost fill the cave to the brim.But fortunately, with such dense plants growing on the cave wall, there should be no mechanism.After a moment of silence, someone pulled out a knife from behind, strode forward, and stepped into the hole.

Sure enough, there is no agency.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and wanted to call his companions to go, but suddenly saw that everyone was looking at him in horror.

"...Why are you looking at me?"

He was dazed by hundreds of pairs of eyes, and just about to say something, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

——The sound was rustling, like the sound of some reptile swimming silently.The man suddenly turned his head, and then saw the most unforgettable scene in his life, and it was also the last scene.

At that moment, the purple vines in the hole trembled and coiled violently, like countless thick and long pythons, tightly entangled his body.Before the man understood what happened, he felt unbearable pain in every part of his body that was touched by the vine, as if someone was using a small knife to finely peel off the flesh.

He couldn't help screaming loudly, and rolled over trying to break free from the weird vine, but it was in vain.After a long time, the screams finally gradually subsided, but in just half a cup of tea, the eight-foot-tall man was swallowed up without a trace, leaving only a few pieces of broken clothes and a big knife, quietly. Lying on purple vines.

"What is this!?"

The unlucky fellow asked tremblingly, but no one could answer.He was the closest to the entrance of the cave, so he could see it most clearly. At this time, the two were fighting, and they "thumped" and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Those who were able to find the treasure of the Chen family and pass through the first section of the mountain path basically had some real skills, but at this moment they all looked pale.The scene just now was simply too weird, beyond everyone's understanding.

"I see... this is the Purple Blood Grass!"

The black straight old man who had spoken outside the cave before suddenly spoke and immediately attracted everyone's attention.A young man heard the words and asked: "Old man, do you know how to get rid of this grass?"

The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed: "I only read one sentence in the book, saying that purple blood grass is transformed from ghosts and monsters, and eats human flesh and blood... I don't know about the rest."

Hearing what he said, the rest were disappointed.In the end, the plump woman snorted coldly: "Since it's grass, why don't we just burn it?"

This made a lot of sense, but soon someone questioned: "The man also brought a torch just now, why didn't he see this grass and was afraid?"

A few people were still discussing here, but they heard the person sitting paralyzed on the ground shouting tremblingly: "It's blooming... it's blooming!"

Everyone raised their heads in unison, only to see that countless tightly wrapped flowers and leaves were really slowly blooming on the purple vines.

Such a bloody plant, the flowers that bloom are actually snow-white, and the delicate petals unfold tremblingly, revealing the purple stamens in the middle, enchanting and weird.

"Could it be..."

The plump woman lowered her head and muttered, suddenly her five fingers turned into claws, and she grabbed the chest of a man standing beside her!

The man was unprepared, and she picked him up like a chicken.The woman's arm as tender and white as a lotus root was weak and boneless, but it was so powerful that she threw him into the hole!

"what!!"

The man let out a scream, half in pain and half in fear.His heavy body crushed the slender flowers, but the purple vines at the entrance of the cave did not engulf him like before.However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was dragged deep into the cave by the other vines.

When his wailing finally disappeared, someone stood up tremblingly, pointed at the woman and said, "Sorceress! There are so many people, how can you commit murder at will!"

The plump woman sneered and said, "Then you are here to kill me?"

It was cold for a while.

In such an awkward silence, the black and straight old man coughed and said, "These flowering vines just now are not aggressive... The ghosts of the purple blood vine need to be nourished by flesh and blood."

"That is to say..." the person beside him said hesitantly, "As long as all the vines in this hole bloom, can we pass through?"

The old man nodded: "It must be so."

"That's great, we—"

He had only half-spoken, and could not speak any more.

If you want to pass, you must let the purple blood vine bloom, and if the purple blood vine is to bloom, you must be nourished by human blood—but there are only so many people present, where should the flesh and blood of these dead people come from?

"Just now along the way, there were so many corpses, how about we all move them together?" Someone asked timidly.

No one answered, and no one moved.The person who spoke seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he turned around and walked towards the hole where he came and went—but at this moment, a small knife with the length of his palm flew straight at him, hitting the back of his heart until it hit the handle!

The man fell to the ground without even uttering a word, out of breath.As if taking his fall as a signal, the other people in the cave moved in unison!

There are about [-] people left in the cave. After the initial scuffle, they were divided into two groups, facing each other eyeing each other.No one spoke, and even rarely looked at each other. In the face of death and desire, it only takes a moment to establish an alliance.

"...This is obviously raising Gu."

The old man in black robe murmured, but the only answer he got was the whimpering of the wind, like a sob.

The author has something to say:
