Wu Qiang followed Li Bai closely, and Lu Zhangyuan also followed without saying a word. When the three of them met the villagers who were dressed in bloody clothes, the villagers not only did not stop them, but on the contrary, they all shifted their eyes and showed a scary smile.
When Yao, Shun and Yu saw the three people running towards them, they were startled for a moment, then their faces twisted in anger, and they kept waving to Li Bai. But at this moment, Li Bai and the others had already bypassed Empress Zhusheng's large sedan chair and came to him.
"What are you doing here?" Yao Shunyu was trembling with anger.
"You can't do anything here, you can only accompany me to death!" Li Bai did not deny this, because for the time being, she had not thought of a way to escape, and she was going to find a loophole in Empress Zhusheng.
Now Yao, Shun, and Yu had no choice. He looked under the bridge, but it was pitch black below, and there was no light reflected at all.
"If it doesn't work, we have no choice but to jump off the bridge. We will first pull the fuse of the explosive, and we will jump off together at the last moment of the explosion."
"Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. Even if we all die, we can't let this ghost cross the river." Now Yao, Shun, and Yu just said whatever they wanted, not caring whether Empress Zhusheng could hear it or not.
"No." A rather hoarse voice sounded, instantly attracting Li Baiyao and Shunyu's attention. Lu Zhangyuan shook his head slightly and said firmly,
"Jumping down is definitely not a good choice, you will definitely die." Wu Qiang looked at the villagers around him who were getting more and more uncomfortable, and his heart was already confused.
"What's wrong? I...I can swim. I'm very good at water. You guys..."
"It has nothing to do with water properties. There is something wrong with the water down here." As if to verify what he said, Lu Zhangyuan took off his clothes and threw them into the water, and then threw the torch down.
Under the light of the torch, I saw the clothes falling on the water, but the next second, a surprising scene appeared. The clothes fell straight towards the water without encountering any obstacles at all.
Li Bai slowly opened his eyes,
"This...this water has no buoyancy?" Lu Zhangyuan nodded,
"That's right, this water can't float anything."
"Weak water, this is the abyss of weak water!" Li Bai couldn't help but lost his voice. According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas": "There is water north of Kunlun. Its power cannot beat mustard, so it is called weak water." In other words, weak water itself has no buoyancy. Even if a blade of grass is put on it, it will sink. According to rumors, this Not only humans, but also ghosts and gods cannot cross this place, and the water here is highly poisonous to ghosts and gods, so it is also called Gui Chou Ferry.
Now Li Bai, Yao, Shun and Yu have finally figured it out. No wonder a mere river can trap the villagers of Heishui Village and the monster Zhusheng Empress. This is actually the legendary Abyss of Weak Water.
Wu Qiang didn't understand this, but the abnormality of the water was obvious. Wu Qiang was desperate again.
"Then...what should we do? Aren't we dead?"
"Not necessarily." At this moment, Yao and Shunyu suddenly realized that Lu Zhangyuan's bookishness had dissipated and was replaced by a convincing determination. As if he was a different person, Lu Zhangyuan said quickly: "Just now we found the secret of the last bridge pier. He hit 9 human stakes and was very resentful. As long as he turned around there, he would be trapped. He was also on the bridge, but it was like two time and space." Yao, Shun, and Yu could not digest so much information at one time. After all, she had never experienced the weirdness of the last bridge pier, but Li Bai was different. She quickly understood Lu Zhangyuan's plan.
After a moment, Li Bai's eyes lit up.
"What you mean is that we set off the explosives when we reach the last bridge pier, and then turn back at the same time, putting ourselves in another world. We will come back after the explosion is over."
"That's it." Lu Zhangyuan nodded cautiously,
"As you can see, that bridge pier is very strong. Those soldiers used countless explosives before, blasting the entire bridge full of holes, but the last bridge pier is still stable. As long as we control the distance, there will be no problem. "They wasted a lot of time here, but fortunately, the speed of Zhusheng's team was getting slower and slower. The villagers at the front almost moved forward in small steps. They seemed to be afraid of the last bridge pier.
Later, Li Bai frowned slightly, and she discovered a flaw.
"But how are we going to get out?" Hearing this, Lu Zhangyuan fell silent. He turned to look at Wu Qiang, his eyes full of complexity.
Wu Qiang was flustered by Lu Zhangyuan's eyes and swallowed hard.
"Lu...Brother Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Sorry." Lu Zhangyuan cast an apologetic look at Wu Qiang,
"Wu Qiang, this path of survival is not suitable for you, because you have already turned back on the bridge and been trapped once."
"Look at your shoulders." Lu Zhangyuan continued. As Wu Qiang tremblingly pulled down his clothes, the three of them were surprised to find a handprint on Wu Qiang's right shoulder.
The handprints were extremely dark, like ink, and Wu Qiang collapsed. While crying, he rubbed it with his hands desperately, and then tore it with his nails. In the end, he couldn't remove it until he saw blood, as if it was branded into his skin.
"Why can't we get rid of it? Why?"
"This is a ghost's shoulder, and it's also a mark left by a resentful ghost on your body. As long as you enter that space again, you will be found immediately. When the ghost puts its shoulder on your other side, you will never be able to I can't get out." Lu Zhangyuan said these words in a cautious and steady tone, he was just recounting the facts.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Wu Qiang's pleading eyes glanced at Lu Zhangyuan, Li Bai, and Yao, Shun and Yu, but none of them answered.
Finally, Lu Zhangyuan spoke. He looked at Wu Qiang and slowly shook his head.
"There is no way, there is really no way." At this moment, the team has stopped completely, stopping in front of the last bridge pier, as if waiting for something, the atmosphere is solemn, but you can see the excitement hidden in the eyes of these villagers, They were about to get out of trouble after all, they just had to cross the bridge.
Both Li Bai, Yao, Shun and Yu knew that the team stopped waiting for someone, waiting for someone to clear the way for them. According to the rules tonight, someone among them needed to cross the bridge first, just like opening a long-standing ban for the team.
In this depressing atmosphere, everyone stopped talking. Li Bai wanted to say something to break this damn silence, but she was hoarse and couldn't say a word. After sharing the hardships together, she also developed feelings for Wu Qiang. .
What he is going to say now is nothing more than deceiving Wu Qiang into committing suicide. At this point, Li Bai still admires Lu Zhangyuan. He is willing to tell the truth. Otherwise, with his ability, he could deceive Wu Qiang and make him mistakenly think that he still has a chance. Vitality, this way it will be much easier to use.
After a minute, or even less, Wu Qiang finally raised his head. He scanned the faces of the three people one by one with his bloodshot eyes, and finally stopped on Li Bai's face. Li Bai subconsciously avoided that line of sight. Because she can't do anything.
"Huh..." Wu Qiang let out a long breath, and the next second he felt relieved.
"It seems that this is my life. Miss Li, you saved me. Without you, I would have died long ago." Wu Qiang gave an ugly smile and said,
"Consider this life as a gift from me. Let's get to know each other. You are all the best people. In the end, I can help you feel at ease."
"Wu Qiang..." Li Bai couldn't help but choked up after being moved by the dark man in front of him.
"What do you need me to do?" Wu Qiang looked at Lu Zhangyuan, his eyes full of determination.
"We take off all our clothes and twist them into a rope. You take the rope to the front of the team, cross the bridge and tie the rope to the shore. We will help you delay, but you must come back immediately. If you stay on the shore, these ghosts will also We will follow, and finally when the team reaches the last bridge pier, we will detonate the explosives, and then you will..." Lu Zhangyuan stopped talking and pursed his lips.
Then he continued to speak later,
"I don't recommend that you turn around and hide in that space." Lu Zhangyuan spoke from his heart. Being left behind forever and watching him die bit by bit would be too terrifying.
"Got it." Wu Qiang breathed out a heavy breath, and as several people took off their clothes, a rope was soon ready.
Without saying goodbye, Wu Qiang grabbed the rope and walked towards the other end of the bridge. Things were just as Lu Zhangyuan said, no villagers stopped Wu Qiang from leaving, and they even stared at him with strange eyes.
But after walking more than ten steps, Wu Qiang turned around again and came back.
"I...I don't regret it. I have one more thing to ask of you." Wu Qiang took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms close to his body. There were words on the paper,
"This is a letter I left for my wife and daughter at home. I wrote it before. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that I would actually use it. Please help me send it home. By the way, my home address is Huang, Nanping City. In Yujiagan Village, Sha Town, my wife's name is Deng Shuping, and my daughter's name is Wu Liying." After saying this, Wu Qiang did not stop, turned around and walked resolutely towards the other side of the bridge. With no worries, he was no longer afraid of those dressed up. The bloody villagers didn't even bother to go around when they encountered villagers blocking the road. They just pushed him away. He reached into his arms and dug out. A piece of explosives appeared in his hands. Wu Qiang took big steps with an indomitable momentum. , he is still the honest and swarthy man, he clearly looks like a general on the battlefield.
Watching Wu Qiang leave like this, Li Bai and the three of them all understood that this time they would say goodbye forever. As Wu Qiang quickly tied the rope, the villagers who had been waiting for a long time began to move forward little by little. Wu Qiang turned around and returned to the bridge, striding at the head of the bridge. Facing the villagers and Empress Zhusheng, they exchanged cold eyebrows. The momentum of one man being able to stop ten thousand men.
Elder Sun, who had already moved to the front, couldn't hold it any longer. He stepped forward in small steps and stretched out his skinny claws to grab Wu Qiang. Wu Qiang opened his eyes fiercely and punched Elder Sun in the face. past,
"Now!" Wu Qiang shouted, and then pulled open the fuse of the explosive with his teeth.
"Go to hell!" Yao, Shun, and Yu roared, holding their hands
"Hiss" the sparking explosives were thrown towards Empress Zhusheng. Li Bai then threw a backpack of explosives in his hand, and threw them all on the large sedan chair of Empress Zhusheng. The explosives inside rolled out one after another, and fell in front of the wide-eyed village chief.
"Turn around!" Almost at the moment when the explosive in Wu Qiang's hand exploded, Li and Bai also turned around. Not long ago, there was a calling voice from behind. The voice sounded very familiar and reassuring, but Jing Jing When I thought about it, I couldn't identify whose voice it was.
The three of them were pulling each other, and the only rope was tied around Li Bai's waist. As they turned around, the surging wave of explosive air disappeared instantly. There was still a bridge under their feet, but all the people on the bridge were gone. A mist that came from nowhere rolled and surrounded them. , the scene was surprisingly weird.
"Huh?" Wu Qiang's surprised voice came from behind,
"What happened? I...why didn't I die? I really didn't die!"
"Haha, I'm not dead, we can leave here together!" Wu Qiang's voice was full of joy for the rest of his life, but none of Li Bai and the three of them looked back. Li Bai bit his lip, his eyes slightly red.
She knew that Wu Qiang had no chance of surviving, and that the voice behind him was disguised as a ghost, because Wu Qiang could not talk about me, he could only talk about me.
The rope around Li Bai's waist was not straight, but curved strangely in mid-air, but was very tight. This abnormal scene looked extremely weird, as if the space was distorted by some strange force.
Without hesitation, Li Bai grasped the rope tightly and walked along the rope little by little. This rope was their only chance to leave.
Wu Qiang finally won the opportunity for them. Soon, with a change of light and shadow, they finally left that space and returned to the last bridge pier.
But looking at it now, the entire bridge has been changed beyond recognition. The temporary wooden boards on the bridge were almost completely destroyed by the shock wave generated by the explosion. The big sedan chair on the bridge, the empress Zhu Sheng and the villagers were all missing.
On the other side of the bridge behind him, and on the small section of remaining wooden boards near the other side, there were still some villagers standing, but now the villagers seemed to have fallen into madness, standing one by one, their whole bodies twitching, accompanied by terror. Her makeup looks like a bunch of demons dancing around.
Empress Zhusheng probably fell into the river and died, and the crisis was resolved. As the three of them set foot on the other side, the situation now changed again. Yao and Shunyu protected Li Bai behind them and stared at Lu Zhangyuan with a wary expression.
He really didn't expect that this young man who was willing to block a knife for him was actually Crimson, and he was very well hidden.
Now that the crisis has passed, I'm afraid it will be a life-and-death situation again. But what surprised Yao and Shun Yu was that Lu Zhangyuan acted very calmly. He looked back at the broken bridge and slowly took out the crumpled paper from his arms. The handwriting on the paper was crooked and looked quite funny, but Lu Zhangyuan His face is full of seriousness,
"It's a pity that we can't fulfill our promise. Wu Qiang is a different person from us after all."
"He is a good man." Li Bai recalled Wu Qiang's leaving figure, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Yuanchao again. They were both people who valued friendship.
Lu Zhangyuan turned around and looked at Li Baiyao and Shunyu, his eyes were lost for a moment.
"But you are not evil people either."
