When we went downstairs to pay for the room, I was shocked. They asked me for more than 3,000 yuan. This time I learned that the hotel Xuan Mo stayed in was the best in the city, super five-star. I didn’t dare to stay in a hotel with stars before, but he spent most of my money on it. Hard money earned from working during the holidays.
It was about to be hollowed out by him, but for the sake of the pearl, I didn’t care about him anymore. When I took out the money, my hand was shaking.
I've never spent so much money at once, it hurts.
After paying the room fee, we walked out of here, took a deep breath, and I wanted to calm down.
"There are still a few hours until check-out." I thought that check-out is at 12 noon. I have paid so much money and I still have five or six hours to enjoy the services here. Stay a little longer. I'll pay less.
Xuan Mo looked at me and then said:
"If you like living there, how about we pay the room fee for a few more days?"
"No, no, it's more important to do business."
After a few more days of payment, he was really embarrassed to say it and sold me.
I complained in my heart and my steps became faster. I wanted to get out of here quickly.
Xuan Mo took me to the foot of a mountain. There is a high mountain here in Ningzhou, with an altitude of about 2,500 meters.
I dislike mountain climbing the most in my life, so I have never climbed a mountain before. Not to mention that I have never climbed it before. The hill behind my hometown is less than 400 meters long and can be considered a hill.
In fact, the biggest reason is not that I am tired, but that I am afraid of spending money.
Nowadays, any famous mountain or river is free of charge, and the tickets are extremely expensive. I feel sorry for the money, so I have never gone there.
"What are we doing here?"
Xuan Mo looked at me. He just looked me up and down. Then he asked an inappropriate question:
"How much do you weigh now?"
"Huh? 98, what's wrong?" I was a little confused as to why I asked this question. What does this have to do with us coming here?
Before I could answer, he directly picked me up.
"what you do?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the whistling wind in my ears, and my body felt a lot cooler.
I inadvertently looked down at my feet and saw that my feet were already very high off the ground. I shook my body and realized that we had already flown.
I quickly grabbed Xuan Mo with my hands and pressed my face against his chest. The wind in my ears has stopped, and I haven't noticed this yet.
"Is it comfortable?"
When he said this, I realized. We have landed safely.
I saw the way he looked down at me. At that moment, I nestled snugly in his arms, and there was some warmth in his eyes when he looked at me.
I hurriedly got off his body. I must have looked at that wrongly just now. Why did Xuan Mo look like that?
Now I just feel that my face is as hot as fire and my head is swollen. If there is a crack in the ground now, I can get into it. It's a pity that there isn't.
Xuan Mo walked forward on his own until the distance between us was ten meters away. I was pulled forward by that invisible force again.
I followed Xuan Mo, and the burning feeling on my face gradually faded away.
"It's more dangerous here, you have to follow me closely."
"Okay!" I agreed obediently.
"If you run around and fail to follow me and are captured by the mountain spirits and monsters here, I won't care about you."
The words just now made people feel better, but saying it again now still makes people feel uncomfortable. I glared at him and said nothing.
But he said that there are mountain spirits and monsters here. I really don’t know. Tourists often come to a city with famous mountains and rivers like this. There are no reports that tourists are attacked by unknown creatures.
I thought about it, if such a thing happened, they would not report it. Who would openly report those unbelievable and strange things and make people panic?
There is this rope between me and Xuan Mo, and he won't be too far away from me, so I feel relieved.
"Where are we going?" I thought it was a bit boring to drive aimlessly like this. If I knew where we were going, I would have some idea.
But Xuan Mo ignored it, he was unwilling to answer. I saw his look, as if he was thinking, and then he started to recite the magic formula, and the magic circle lit up around us.
I can't understand these words, which are like crawling earthworms, and I don't know what they mean.
I followed Xuan Mo, not daring to leave. The symbols that originally lit up on the ground flew in all directions this time. Some flew very far, and some gradually disappeared into the grass, woods, and mountains... …
I didn't feel anything changed after that. I don’t know what the purpose of what he just did was?
I looked at him still standing there, and not long after, I heard rustling sounds coming from the ground one after another.
Listening to the sound alone is not very loud, but when there are many things making such a sound together, it feels like the sound is extremely loud, making people feel numb all over and giving rise to layers of goosebumps on the scalp.
These voices slowly approached, and I unconsciously leaned towards Xuan Mo. This was a completely subconscious behavior. I just thought it would be safe if I did this.
When I leaned next to Xuan Mo, I felt at ease. At this time, I saw a flower snake emerging from the grass, followed closely by many snakes emerging from there.
There were snakes crawling towards us not only in the grass, but also in the woods and in the water. This time I knew who made those sounds just now. These are the snakes.
Saw them all crawling towards us. I'm not too afraid of snakes, but there were so many of them on the ground that no one could resist them.
Seeing that the area under our feet was surrounded by these snakes, goosebumps were already rising all over our body.
But when these snakes reached three meters in front of Xuan Mo, they did not dare to take another step forward. There was a moment of fear for these cold-blooded animals.
I saw the snakes all raising their heads and lowering them, repeating this action three times. I had never seen a snake do such an action, and they kept doing it. I was very curious.
Watching their strange movements reminds me of bowing, bowing and kowtow. Are they saluting Xuan Mo?
"Are they saluting you?" I asked the question in my mind. Xuan Mo ignored me at all.
At this time, hissing sounds came from Xuan Mo's mouth one after another, as if he was talking, but he couldn't understand what he was saying.
Then the snakes began to respond. Some of them hissed, some slapped the ground with their tails, some kept shaking their heads... in short, there were all kinds of things.
But no matter what it is, I can't understand the communication between them.
Finally, a python as thick as a thigh crawled over and crawled under Xuan Mo's feet. It clung to the body humbly and did not dare to raise its head. The rest of the snakes scattered.
As the snakes dispersed, I became less stressed.
Xuan Mo's hand gently patted the snake's head, and it actually rubbed Xuan Mo with its own head. This was really eye-opening, the normally cold snake was now acting like this.
If this snake were given a pair of dog ears and a dog tail, I think it would be able to wag its tail and beg for mercy.
"Okay, you go and lead the way!" Xuan Mo said after patting the python.
The python understood his words and crawled in front of us.
"Where are we going?"
"Find the antidote!"
This time Xuan Mo is finally willing to pay attention to me and look for the antidote. Of course I know this. This is the purpose of coming here, but where are we going?
After a while, I knew that the place we were going to was something I never wanted to come to in my life, and I would have a narrow escape from death here.
