Chapter 17:Here, hide right there!(1/2)
The sky is dark.
The sun has gradually risen, but the light has not spread to the bamboo forest yet.
The man in white was holding an incredibly bright lamp in his hand, illuminating everything he passed as if it were daytime.
As the other party approached with the "magic lamp", the fat and thin Taoists became even more flustered.
Afraid.
The other party discovered him.
You push toward me, and I push toward you.
The two of them barely squeezed into the shape of a yin-yang fish.
They didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to look anymore, but thoughts were flooding in their minds.
"What exactly did we encounter this time?"
"How come the lamp in the hand of the man in white is as bright as the moon?"
"If you look at this, we won't be discovered immediately."
"Fortunately it's foggy."
"I don't know if this is a monster or a monster. What will it do if it finds us?"
However, whether they are monsters or gods, they are not easy to deal with in legends.
Demons and ghosts eat people, and gods and spirits are moody and unpredictable.
In this land of ancient Chu witchcraft country filled with witchcraft winds, even the so-called rural children know the legend of worshiping the river god and repeatedly asking for human sacrifices.
There are not many so-called benevolent and compassionate gods even in legends.
Fortunately.
The man in white with the lamp did not come toward them, but turned elsewhere.
As the snow-white light like the moon gradually moved away, the fat and thin Taoists finally found some sense of security, and their bodies, which were extremely tense, began to relax.
The thin Taoist man slowly turned his head and carefully looked at the scene outside.
At this moment, the man had already walked to the foothills on the other side of the bamboo forest. He seemed to be doing something here, or looking for something.
Now, the fat and thin Taoists became more cautious.
No matter what the other party wants to do, if they know that the two of them are watching, some unspeakable and terrifying things will most likely happen.
But although I was scared and panicked, I also felt a strong sense of excitement.
After practicing Taoism for half their lives, the two of them encountered all kinds of incredible things one after another in the past few days, and the desire for the power of gods, demons and ghosts in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
Even though they knew it was very dangerous at this moment, the two of them couldn't help but want to continue to pry.
Pry into the secrets that do not belong to the human world.
"What does he want to do?"
"Who is he talking to?"
"What is he looking for?"
"Is it something that does not belong to the human world?"
The two glanced at each other, bent their waists in unison, and followed quietly.
All the way through the layers of bamboo branches and the mist, I finally saw the other party standing at the end of a flat field.
There should have been a road leading down the mountain, but at this moment the entire road and soil collapsed, exposing the stones inside the mountain.
The man in white stopped moving and just stood there, seeming to be talking to someone.
The fat Taoist spoke: "He is talking."
The thin Taoist quickly told the fat Taoist to shut up: "Shh."
But they found that the man really didn't seem to notice the two of them, so the two began to talk in a low voice.
"Who is he talking to?"
"Isn't it a living person?"
"Maybe it's not a human being."
They saw clearly that there was really only one person, but there were two voices.
The clouds and mist lingered.
The singing stopped.
After a while, the woman's voice came again: "Found it!"
The man in white stood at the end of the foothills: "Found it."
The two of them were overjoyed. The man in white was indeed looking for something.
Could it be, what kind of treasure is it?
Suddenly, the invisible woman spoke.
"Those two guys are coming."
"I'm hiding and peeking at you."
When these words come out, both fat and thin people feel as if they have fallen into an ice cave.
——
Jiang Chao walked out from underground with a lantern in hand, passed through a bamboo forest, and came to a flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
He saw what Wang Shu asked him to see, which was a whole wall of pure white stone.
It is almost like jade, with a very fine texture and beautiful patterns on it.
It would be a pity to destroy such a beautiful jade.
It's just a shell. Jiang Chao is going to find scraps, that's enough.
At this time, Wangshu told him.
There is someone behind you.
Jiang Chao: "Where?"
Wangshu: "Down below."
Jiang Chao turned around, but before asking any more questions, Wang Shu further revealed the exact location of the two of them.
"Here!"
"Hiding by the bamboo forest, behind that little dirt bag."
The voice sounded nice, but to the two people behind the mound like grave mounds at this moment, it was like words of seduction.
"Discovered."
Every word and every byte spoken by the other party was like a huge stone pressing on the backs of the fat and thin Taoists, causing them to collapse to the ground, and their hearts seemed to be squeezed out.
Jiang Chao then looked around, looking for the figures of those two people.
The mist flowed like water, and he could vaguely see two heads, which shrank behind the mounds of earth.
At this time, the fat and thin people behind the mound shouted in their hearts.
"My life is at an end."
They wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in this small mound, and continuing to hide was just a cover-up.
I wanted to run away, but my waist and knees were weak and I couldn't stand up.
The two of them could only lie down on the ground, with one hand dangling forward, trying to hold themselves up on the ground and trying to crawl forward, but they couldn't hold themselves up and fell to the ground.
The two of them crawled down like this, like old, sick and disabled cats, their bodies trembling and twitching like they were dancing.
This speed was as fast as a turtle crawling, which seemed ridiculous to them. The man in white would probably be able to catch up in no time.
It didn't take any effort at all to kill the two of them who were so frightened that they had no strength, to skin and remove the bones of the two people who were spying on the secrets beyond Yin and Yang, and to banish their souls to the Nine Netherworld.
Once a person is faced with something beyond his or her cognition, and fear takes over his mind, even a burly man will become helpless.
However, the mysterious man in white who came through the mist didn't seem to catch up.
They didn't know how long they had been climbing before they finally had the strength to stand up and ran frantically down the mountain.
Fat Taoist: "Chasing...chasing...are you chasing me?"
Thin Taoist: "Where is that man?"
The two of them hunched their waists, hunched their shoulders, and looked back at the place they ran from.
This loss of attitude was extremely ridiculous. They were obviously human beings, but at first glance they looked like two fat and thin foxes pretending to be human.
Vaguely.
