The treasure elephant walked tiptoeing in the valley, quietly sneaking along the mountain road. There are lush trees and overgrown weeds here, and few people come here on weekdays.
At the end of the valley, there is a natural cave. The water vapor here is rich and the cave is deep and quiet. An underground river passes through the cave. Birds and animals that stray into the river often die in it, and their bones are piled up in the cave.
Tonight, Baoxiang had not slept soundly and was tossing and turning in bed. He vaguely heard Wu Gen's movement, so he got up and followed him.
Standing at the dark entrance of the cave, Baoxiang hesitated, but finally lit a torch and walked towards the deep cave.
There were gravels everywhere in the cave, and Baoxiang had one foot deep and one foot shallow and one foot forward. It was quiet all around, except for the rhythmic ticking of water drops dripping from the cave ceiling.
After walking for a while, Baoxiang suddenly stopped with a tangled look on his face. He stretched his neck and glanced into the hole, then turned around and walked out.
He was really afraid that if he continued to move forward, he would see something he didn't want to see.
After walking back for more than ten steps, Baoxiang's steps became slower and slower, and finally stopped. Suddenly, the treasure elephant suddenly turned its head and ran towards the cave.
There was a bang, and because of his trance, he stumbled over the rocks on the ground and fell to the ground. The fire rolled Gululu out and went out with a pop. Everything was suddenly plunged into darkness, with endless darkness squeezing in from all directions like boulders.
Boom, boom, boom, Baoxiang's heartbeat became louder, and it sounded very clear in the silent cave. Lying on the ground, Baoxiang didn't dare to move. In the darkness, there was a monster staring at him.
"Who are you?" Baoxiang shouted in panic, a breeze blew by, but there was no response.
Climbing up using his hands and feet, Baoxiang hurriedly touched the torch that had fallen to the ground, took out the flint and started beating it.
Click, click, click, the sound of flint striking was heard far in the cave. But in panic, even his hands and feet were not very agile, and even hitting him several times failed to ignite the tinder.
"Fuck you, you're even bullying me." Baoxiang was so angry that he threw the flint out and sat slumped on the ground with his head in his hands.
After a long time, his mind gradually calmed down, and Baoxiang got up again, groping for the flint he had thrown away on the ground.
This time, the flint finally ignited the tinder, and the torch lit up again. Baoxiang continued to move forward dejectedly. The sound of the underground river gradually became louder. Baoxiang knew that he was almost at the end of the cave.
Clusters of blue flames appeared in front, floating in the air like duckweeds. On the beach of the underground river, white bones shone brightly in the dim light of the will-o'-the-wisps. From time to time, unknown fish swim by with bright lights in the water, adding a touch of color to the dark hole.
Baoxiang stood there with his mouth open, staring blankly at Ichimu in front of him.
In the forest of bones on the riverbank, Wu Gen was facing away from himself, silently watching the surging river water, and there seemed to be a layer of black energy surrounding his body. Among the white bones beside him, blue will-o'-the-wisps sprouted like fish blowing bubbles.
The will-o'-the-wisp did not dare to approach Wu Gen, but was reluctant to leave, so it could only circle around him. More and more will-o'-the-wisps gathered, forming a huge blue ring of fire, illuminating the hole with a bright blue glow.
"Wu Gen, is that you?" Baoxiang asked tremblingly as his heart palpitated suddenly.
Wu Gen slowly turned his head, his face was covered with black lines, and black flames were dancing deep in his eyes. He glanced expressionlessly, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Baoxiang coldly and arrogantly.
"Wu Gen, what's wrong with you?" Baoxiang cried out and took a step forward unconsciously.
"Don't come over." Wu Gen's cold voice sounded, "It will hurt you."
"What's wrong with you? Are you under some evil spell?" Baoxiang didn't seem to hear Wu Gen's warning and took two more steps forward.
"Don't come here, Baoxiang, it will really hurt you." Wu Gen picked up a bone from the ground.
To Baoxiang's surprise, Yimu appeared. The surface of the bones seemed to be boiling. Blue flames rushed out of the bones and merged into the huge ring of fire around them. After a while, no more blue flames flew out of the bones, and they became loose and turned into powder, falling to the ground.
"Why is this happening? Who did it?" For some reason, Baoxiang suddenly became angry and took a few steps forward, approaching the huge blue ring of fire.
The flames kept spitting out, and they surrounded Baoxiang full of hostility. Wu Gen raised his hand, and the flames retreated one after another, farther away from the treasure elephant.
"Tell me, why is this happening?" Baoxiang shook the torch in his hand violently, looking very excited.
Wu Gen raised his head and said angrily, "How do I know why I became like this? The last time I was attacked by someone, the other party didn't know what evil thing was sacrificed. The black flames polluted my soul. And these .”
Pointing to the black energy beside him, Wu Gen said with a ferocious expression: "At that time, this ghost appeared for no reason, and then suppressed the black inflammation.
But since then, I have felt as if there is something more in my body. All kinds of violent, cruel, and cold thoughts arise from time to time, and I want to kill, destroy, and destroy everything in front of me. "
At this point, Wu Gen suddenly looked up to the sky and howled like a wild beast, kicking and beating the bones beside him. The screams were mixed with the sound of bones breaking, echoing in the cave, as if countless demons were howling and shouting.
Baoxiang stood there quietly, watching Wu Gen use his hands and feet like a wild animal, screaming and jumping on the beach angrily. Bone fragments and sand flew everywhere, hitting Baoxiang's body constantly. One bone spur hit his forehead, and blood flowed down his cheek and dripped onto his chest.
Finally, Wu Gen stopped his violent venting and slumped down on the ground, his head deeply buried in his scattered hair.
"Baoxiang, I feel like I'm going to become a demon." Wu Gen's deep voice came, "The black energy can indeed suppress the black flame, but I feel like it is dragging me to another abyss.
If you leave Black Flame alone, I'm afraid you will see a crazy and extremely cruel demon appear in the world soon. "
"Baoxiang, tell me, what should I do? I really don't know if I should stay here. I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I will kill you all." Wu Gen raised his head, his face covered with pain and sweat. Mixed with tears, flowing through black threads as dense as a web.
Baoxiang walked forward step by step calmly until he reached Wu Gen.
Wu Gen was so frightened that he quickly backed away, "Don't come over here, I'm afraid this ghost will attach itself to you."
However, Baoxiang was not moved at all and continued to step forward until he reached Wu Gen. Fang slowly squatted down and said, "Become a demon, what's the matter? If you want to become a demon, I will accompany you to become a demon."
If we don't abandon each other in this world, it doesn't matter if we go to hell together. In this world, I, Baoxiang, am alone and have nothing to worry about. How about I accompany you on this road of no return, at most I will die. Even if it is like loess and white bones, I will keep you safe. "
As he said that, Baoxiang grabbed Wu Gen's arm, "Come on, don't you become a demon? Come on." As soon as he came into contact with the invisible black air, Baoxiang's complexion suddenly changed, showing great pain, and he felt that his vitality was constantly flowing. gush.
Wu Gen pushed the man away, turned around and prepared to escape.
Baoxiang surged with strength from his body, jumped up, pressed Wu Gen firmly into the river, and shouted angrily, "Isn't it just death? What are you afraid of? Wu Gen, you coward, you have been waiting for me all day long. He also talked about being the leader of the village."
As he spoke, Baoxiang turned Wu Gen over and slapped him in the face repeatedly, "Trash, coward, isn't it just some ghost thing that got into you? You, Wu Gen, are blaming the sky, the earth, people, and ghosts. I I don’t believe you can’t kill it.”
Seeing Wu Gen lying motionless in the water, letting himself be beaten, Baoxiang stopped and wiped the river water or tears from his face, "I, Baoxiang, are really blind, how could I know you, a bastard. Forget it, if you really don’t want to be a human being, I’ll just... I’ll just be a ghost with you.”
Baoxiang lowered his head dejectedly, and suddenly found that his vitality was no longer lost, and the strange black energy just now seemed to be gone.
One hand grabbed the hem of his clothes, Wu Gen grinned and stared at Baoxiang fiercely, "You're a dog-like thing, you're so cruel, you dare to slap him in the face." After saying that, he turned over his body, pressed Baoxiang into the water, and rode on On his body, his fists were raised high, "See if I don't beat you to death."
Baoxiang stared blankly at Wu Gen's smooth face, "Wu Gen, you're back, you're finally back." Then he laughed loudly, "He is indeed a bitch, and he has to be beaten to find himself again."
Wu Gen punched the water hard and raised his head and laughed, "You're right, I want to be the leader of the village, how can I be controlled by this damn thing? Just wait, don't care about this thing What’s behind them, sooner or later I will step on them and rub them under my feet.”
As he spoke, Wu Gen stood up and reached out to Baoxiang with one hand.
Baoxiang smiled slightly, grabbed it, turned over and jumped up, and the two hugged each other tightly. After a long time, the two quickly separated, each turned around and spat a few times, "Disgusting." Goosebumps appeared on their bodies.
The two walked to the shore. Baoxiang picked up the torch on the ground and suddenly said maliciously: "Wu Gen, you seemed to be crying just now."
Wu Gen curled his lips and said, "That big fat guy was wiping his tears just now."
"cut."
The two of them laughed and joked all the way and walked out of the cave. Suddenly, the two looked at each other and jumped out. In a dark place, a short fat man was picked up by two people like a pig.
"When did you come?" Wu Gen asked fiercely.
Yang Zheng looked around and replied pitifully: "When I got here, I heard something moving in front of me. Just as I was about to step forward, you guys captured me." He spread his hands to both sides.
"But I saw something." Baoxiang said reluctantly.
"Hei Gu Long Dong, looking at nothing."
"Really not watching?"
"Really not, you are not in some secluded..."
"Shut up." Wu Gen and Baoxiang said in unison.
