Li Su and Liu Yu who surfaced seemed to have been reborn. Half of their bodies were lying on the rocks, breathing in the fresh air. Even though the air in this place had a trace of rotten and moldy smell, they The two of them still felt that there was a hint of sweetness in the air.
I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Yu finally spoke, “It’s so damn deadly... Just for a moment, I thought I was going to die in the water...”
Li Su used his arms to push up half of his body that was submerged in the water. After sitting on the rock, Li Su said word by word: "Good guy... did you not read the almanac when you went out this time or something... ? Why do you carry it like this? When you go back, you have to go to Hongluo Temple to burn incense to get rid of bad luck..."
As Li Su was talking, Liu Yu on the other end tugged on her clothes. Li Su was a little impatient and turned around and said, "What are you doing...?"
Liu Yu tapped his chin to his left and said, "What do you think that old guy is doing?"
When Li Su heard this, he turned to look at where Chen Ergou was, and saw Chen Ergou kneeling in the corner, not knowing what he was praying for.
Speaking of which, I think I should mention more or less the topography of this place.
This is a naturally formed cave in the heart of the mountain. At first glance, it looks like a bowl upside down on the ground. It's not big, but it's not too small either. If you calculate it carefully, it should be about eighty or ninety square meters.
The scaffolding of the cave is very high, and the vertical drop at the highest point is at least seven meters. Half of the bottom is ground and the other half is water.
There is light here, but it is not natural light or moonlight, but comes from a plant on the rock wall.
This plant is very strange, especially its flowers, which were originally tightly closed together. But when Li Su and the three of them entered the cave, they seemed to sense someone's presence, and they immediately raised their heads one by one. head.
The petals are purple and very thick, about the same thickness as a cactus. Waves of faint light are emanating from it, making people look very uncomfortable to the core.
Not only that, this flower looks very strange. It is different from common flowers that are big on the outside and small on the inside. It has three layers from the inside to the outside. The leaves on the inside are the largest and the leaves on the outside are the smallest. Between each layer of leaves there are There are white and transparent "tentacles" similar to jellyfish tentacles. Bayi Chinese website
Whenever the wind blows, those "tentacles" will swing slightly in the air, making it look as if the flowers hidden in the wall are alive.
It is precisely because of these flowers that people can barely see what is in front of them in a cave that was originally dark.
But petals are petals after all, and although they are brighter, they are not as bright as a flashlight. So when Li Su looked towards where Chen Ergou was, he could only see Chen Ergou bowing towards something. But neither of them saw clearly what he was praying for.
Seeing this, Li Su couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"
Chen Ergou did not pay attention to Li Su immediately, but muttered to himself for a while, then slowly stood up and said lightly, "Let's go!"
At this time, Li Su and Liu Yu saw clearly through the light on the flowers that what Chen Ergou had just worshiped turned out to be a withered skeleton.
"Why is there a skeleton here?" Liu Yu shouted in surprise: "Who is so unlucky to die in this place?"
Liu Yu's words were unintentional, but Chen Ergou's listener meant them. Before Liu Yu could finish the last word, Chen Ergou took a big step towards him, raised his hand and slapped him without saying a word.
There was a crisp "snap" sound, and Liu Yu's whole body was sent flying more than a meter away by the slap, and his two back molars were almost knocked out by the slap.
Blood flowed from the corner of Liu Yu's mouth almost instantly.
This happened very suddenly. Not only Liu Yu, who was beaten, was a little confused, but also Li Su, the monk on the side, was confused. She stared at Chen Ergou with two eyes and said: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?" What's the meaning?"
Chen Ergou looked at Liu Yu, whose face was half swollen, and said, "What do you mean? Do you know who the person lying here is?"
Liu Yu covered his face with his hands and shouted loudly: "How do I know who this person is? Besides, what did I say wrong? You old boy is so harsh?"
Half of Liu Yu's face was swollen. Although the words came out, most of them were kept in his mouth.
Li Su and Chen Ergou only heard the first half of the sentence. They only heard the second half of the sentence where Liu Yu was yelling, but they didn't know what he was talking about.
Fortunately, Chen Ergou didn't hear clearly what Liu Yu said next, otherwise he would probably have received a few more slaps.
Chen Ergou didn't wait for Liu Yu to finish speaking, then he took a step forward, pointed at the bones planted in the corner, and said loudly: "This man... is my grandfather. He was buried in the mountain to save me. Here... if you keep talking nonsense... I can guarantee that you will never leave this place...!"
Hearing Chen Ergou's words, Li Su and Liu Yu couldn't help but were stunned. Neither of them thought that the skeleton sitting half in the corner was actually Chen Ergou's grandfather.
What Chen Ergou had said before flashed through Li Su's mind, and he couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know what happened to these two grandfathers back then. Why did they come here? And his grandfather How could he die here?"
Although Li Su had many questions in her heart, she did not speak. She just said slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen! We didn't know that this was your grandfather. Liu Yu didn't keep his mouth shut. You were right in slapping me, but if it were me, I would have slapped you harder than you just did!"
When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but glance directly at Li Su, but Li Su seemed to have not seen it at all. He just said slowly to himself: "You, sir, don't remember the faults of villains! Don't be as knowledgeable as the two juniors like us!"
When Chen Ergou saw Li Su's words, he didn't complain. He nodded slightly and said, "I don't blame you for this. It's because I didn't say hello in advance...! Okay! Don't say so much. Alright, hurry up and get on your way!"
With that said, Chen Ergou turned around and was about to walk towards the side of the cave, but he turned around after taking only two steps and said: "You two, be careful... don't mess with the flowers here easily." Touch, otherwise..."
Chen Ergou said that he rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arm that was riddled with holes and scars. It looked like it had been bitten from the inside out by countless bugs.
Anyone who takes one look at such an arm will instantly get goosebumps all over his body.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
