Soon enough, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from one side and rushed towards the white zombie.
It was the big black dog Erlang. At the critical moment, the big black dog Erlang who had already ran out of the stone gate suddenly turned back.
Bai Zhan was fast, and the big black dog Erlang was even faster. In just a blink of an eye, he threw himself in front of Bai Zhan, opened his big mouth, and bit Bai Zhan's arm.
I put Professor Li aside on my shoulders and turned around to grab Lao Duoji behind the stone gate.
But at this moment, the stone door slowly closed with a "bang".
"Mr. Duoji...!" I slapped the stone door and shouted.
However, for a while, there was not even a sound from the other side of the stone gate.
"He... he is probably... hopeless..." At this time, Professor Li, who was leaning against the wall, said slowly: "We should be more worried about ourselves..."
I turned my head and glanced at Professor Li, then at the crystal bone he was holding tightly in his hand, and said coldly: "With your moral character, you should indeed be worried..."
I didn't continue, because at this moment, the strange-looking crystal bone in Professor Li's hand suddenly lit up.
The light emitted by the crystal skull was not very large, but very weak. There was only a very weak light flashing, but it was very dazzling in such a dark environment.
I looked at the crystal skull held in Professor Li's arms and asked in surprise: "This... what is going on?"
Professor Li smiled miserably and said: "It...is...pointing the way..."
I asked doubtfully: "Show me the way? Which way?"
Professor Li said: "Of course it is to guide us to find...ah..."
Professor Li was seriously injured. He screamed in pain only halfway through his words. Then his whole body suddenly convulsed, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.
I couldn't bear to see Professor Li die in the dark corridor of the ancient temple, so I hurriedly leaned over to check his wounds.
I saw that Professor Li's right hand, which was originally only a bone, had begun to turn slightly black at this time. Black lines like earthworms started from the elbow and slowly extended outward, covering Professor Li's arm.
"Damn it!" I cursed, "This guy is poisoned by corpse poison!"
I didn't have time to think too much, so I quickly took off my backpack from my shoulder, took out the emergency medicine, and briefly bandaged his arm that turned into bones. Then, I took out two antibiotics and stuffed them into Professor Li's mouth. .
Then, I rummaged around inside the bag again, and finally dug out a black leather bag at the bottom of the bag, and grabbed a small handful of gray-black powder from it.
This black powder is none other than the powder made from black donkey hooves and old glutinous rice that I asked Li Dong to prepare for us before.
Immediately afterwards, I dug out another bottle of high-strength liquor, mixed them together, and carefully applied it on Professor Li's injured area.
Strangely enough, the moment the black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice flour came into contact with Professor Li's wound, an indescribable stench immediately emerged, and the earthworm-like black lines on his arms receded a lot over time. .
I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when I saw this, knowing that Professor Li would not die for a while.
After finishing all this work, I slowly sat down against the wall, looked at the unconscious Professor Li next to me, and then looked at the closed stone door in front of me, and a feeling of that description welled up in my heart. .
I lowered my head and sighed, thinking to myself: "I wonder how Lao Duoji and the others are doing now? Are they alive or dead...?"
I reached into my coat pocket to take out a cigarette, but after searching for a long time, I found nothing. Only then did I remember that during the fierce battle with that "Mahado" just now, I didn't know where he had been dumped.
I rubbed my hands together in an attempt to relieve my craving for cigarettes, and at that moment, a hand tapped me.
I turned around and found that the person who photographed me was actually Professor Li.
This guy didn't know when he woke up, but his condition didn't look very good. His face, which was already very thin, now had a few wisps of black energy.
Professor Li was a long-time smoker. After he reluctantly sat up straight, he took out a pack of Zhongnanhai from his pocket with his left hand. He tossed it around for a long time, but couldn't get one out.
Professor Li looked up at me, touched my arm with the back of his hand, and said, "Hey, help me!"
I didn't say anything, but took the Zhongnanhai from Professor Li's hand, took out two from it, put one in his mouth, and lit one myself.
Zhongnanhai is a raw tobacco. Different from flue-cured tobacco, its shredded tobacco tastes slightly spicy and has a slight bitter taste in the mouth and nasal cavity.
I don't usually like to draw Zhongnanhai, but at this time, it's better than nothing. Having said that, I'm not the kind of person who hates sour food even if I beg for food.
I took a long puff of cigarette, and my nervousness began to ease a little.
After I puffed away for a long time, I turned around and looked at Professor Li beside me, and found that the old guy was holding a cigarette and looking at me with an innocent expression. Only then did I remember that I had forgotten about him. , after putting the cigarette into his mouth, he didn't even light it.
I smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "Sorry!"
Then he picked up a lighter and lit the cigarette in Professor Li's mouth. Professor Li took a puff and closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment. The pain in his eyes was gone.
I looked at Professor Li, then at the crystal bones in his arms that shone with strange light, and said lightly: "How are you? Do you feel better?"
Professor Li shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Hey... I guess time is running out..."
I said, "How come you just found that princess's crystal bone and are you ready to give up now?"
Professor Li raised his eyes and looked at me, his eyes looking a little sad in the smoke.
Professor Li did not answer my words immediately. He took a few puffs of cigarette, and after a while, he slowly said: "You don't have to provoke me like this! The method of stimulating generals is of no use to me at this time. Why? ... Do you also know about Princess Dolma?"
"Princess Dolma?" When I heard this name for the first time, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "She is..."
Professor Li was stunned when he saw my reaction. He looked at me and asked, "What? You don't know about Princess Dolma? But you just clearly..."
I smiled bitterly twice and said: "I just know that Yang Lianzhenjia dug into a princess's tomb and took out a skull from it. He was also poisoned by corpse poison and went to see the Lord of Hell. As for the crystal bones, there are other things about it. I don’t know much about other things about this bone.”
Professor Li nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "I am not going to die soon. I might as well tell you everything here while I am still conscious!"
Professor Li began to cough violently when he said this. He coughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
I wanted to help him, but he refused.
Professor Li coughed for a while and then slowly stopped. He took a long breath, and after a while, he slowly continued: "According to a Tibetan scripture called "Hundili Mithor", the Demon King once married 52 princesses. According to the original It is recorded in it that there are 13 original residents of Tibetan areas, and the others come from sacred places in various places... "
Professor Li spoke very slowly. He would gasp for a long time every time he spoke a word. Not only that, his face began to turn darker and darker, and countless thin threads like earthworms began to slowly crawl from his neck to his chin.
I frowned slightly and said, "Are you okay?"
Professor Li shook his head and said, "I'm fine! Just let me finish."
I didn't speak, but nodded.
Professor Li took a breath and said: "According to ancient books, the Demon King once held the secret of life and death, but this secret was stolen by a princess. In order to get rid of the Demon King's control, the princesses united to take the secret of life and death. Escaped secretly. The devil was furious and began to chase the princess in the coat crazily. However, he did not find all 52 people, because the book mentioned: In a village in Menggalugu County, where will the devil hide? All forty people were killed, and a curse was placed on them. As long as the remaining twelve people leave the Tibetan area, their bones will immediately turn into crystal..."
Professor Li slowed down, and then continued: "The book says that the mandibles of two of the skulls can move, and they are called singing skulls. They store a large amount of information about the secret of life and death. In order to assist the secret After the news spread, the princesses found the most famous craftsman in Tibet at that time and made 10 skulls with immobile mandibles, called talking skulls."
