Chapter 54: The Left Behind
When I saw Hu Xueman leading us along the straight path, I was speechless. I also realized that my spiritual sense was pointing in the wrong direction. Why was this happening? But it was for a reason I couldn't imagine.
At this time, the shocking sound of the tomb passage that went out diagonally had disappeared, and what followed was deathly silence.
But Hu Xueman's expression was anything but relaxed. He picked up Ling Ruyue and said to me and Su Rou: "Let's run, you two must keep up with me!"
As soon as he finished his words, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the tomb passage. It was said to be slight just because it was too far away. If you were in front of you, the footsteps must have been very shocking. If you know how to walk through that tomb passage,
It takes about 20 minutes to walk!
However, the tomb is a relatively closed place after all, and movement and noise can indeed travel very far.
Along with the sound of footsteps, the chilling sneer came again. This time it was not only a sneer, but also a sound similar to the sound of "buzzing" waves. Ling Ruyue and Surou suddenly hugged each other.
My brain screams that I can't stand it anymore.
Hu Xueman took out a few wads of cotton from his pocket, stuffed them directly into Surou and Ling Ruyue's ears, and said to me: "Recite the Jingxin Jue yourself and run!"
With that said, Hu Xueman hugged Ling Ruyue and ran ahead. Surou and I followed closely. Unfortunately, we had just run wildly once, and we have to run again this time. Why is this all happening?
If we hadn't come to the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts, the three of us should be sitting on the corridor of the small bamboo forest at this time to have dinner? It's drizzling outside, the bamboo forest is swaying in the rain and mist, and the sky and the earth are hazy. How comfortable it would be!
But there is no regret medicine in the world. Now I can only run as fast as I can, because if I am a little slow, I don’t know what the consequences of waiting will be!
After running a few steps, I saw the secret room next to the tomb passage. Hu Xueman kept walking, and I couldn't stop either. Just the moment I rushed over, I saw that it had been completely destroyed. Master and the others had left.
This is the path, it turns out they were destroying the secret room along the way!
After running for nearly 5 minutes, I saw at least seven such secret rooms. I have no idea how many there are because I was running so fast. Who can still pay attention to count them?
At this moment, Surou's panting voice came: "I can't run anymore."
Running like this for more than ten minutes, with only a short pause in the middle, it would be unbearable for ordinary people, let alone a fat man like Surou? I turned around to look at him, and sure enough, his face was already blue-white.
Hu Xueman grabbed Surou's collar and shouted: "If you can't run, you will die. Sanwa'er can help me."
I understood what Hu Xueman meant, and I also grabbed the collar of Surou, and simply two people pulled him to run, which made the speed much slower. As if to mock our slowness, another "roaring" sound came from nowhere.
came, reminding us that death is approaching.
"Don't worry about me, go find Mr. Jiang to save me!" Su Rou estimated that his physical strength has reached the limit and he can't run anymore. This is a helpless thing. The body has a limit. After that limit, you will become numb.
, you have to use your will to support it, but when your will cannot support it, the result will be like crispy meat.
In fact, Su Rou is already pretty good. If anyone were to run at the highest speed for 5 minutes, it would be pretty good. It was the threat of life and death that inspired Su Rou's potential, but potential can also be put to use!
After saying that, Su Rou sat down on the ground with a 'pop' sound. He didn't look like he was going against anyone, but he really had reached the limit. His face was already pale, and because he was too tired, his breathing was like a bellows.
, it feels like the whole lungs are rubbing, and occasionally I cough, and all I choke on is white foam.
"Let's go, let's go, you'll die if you don't go." Hu Xueman roared, trying to pull the meat.
But I grabbed Hu Xueman and said to him seriously: "Uncle Hu, let him stay here. If he keeps running, his heart will not be able to bear the load and he will die. He needs to rest. I will stay."
Stay with him."
"Are you kidding me?" Hu Xueman's eyes were wider than bull's eyes, and his fists clenched for a moment, as if he wanted to hit me. He didn't understand why I would cause trouble at such a tense moment.
"I'm serious. You take Ruyue to find my master and the others first, and then ask the master to come and save us. After all, I have studied with the master for so long, so it's okay to delay for a while." I lifted the meat, but it was already there.
I made up my mind not to leave.
The current situation of Surou is not suitable for sitting on the ground and resting like this. It is like a tightened string. It cannot be relaxed all at once, but has to be relaxed slowly.
"No, no, it will take at least about 10 minutes to get to Master Jiang's place. Going back and forth will waste a lot of time. I" Hu Xueman obviously did not expect this, but in fact there is really nothing else
What's the solution? Su Rou can't run anymore. Can you carry him and run? He is not Ling Ruyue, small and light. He is a fat boy with a height of 1.7 meters.
"Uncle Hu, you are wasting time. Just leave a mark along the way. Su Rou and I will try to go that way, that's it." I looked at Hu Xueman and said as if I had already made up my mind.
Surou looked at me and wanted to say something, but he couldn't even breathe, so he couldn't say anything.
Hu Xueman also knew that now was not the time to argue, so he gritted his teeth and put a gun in my hand: "The bullets inside are all special bullets, and there are 7 more. How do you know how to shoot?"
I nodded. I often went to play in that small yard. When I was bored, those uncles would teach me some gun skills. I even went to the local army with them once and played target shooting. I can’t say how accurate my marksmanship is, but shooting
Something like that, it always happens.
"The terrain of this tomb passage is complex, as you have seen. There are many turns and forks along the way. I will put a check mark on the correct road and you can follow the marks." Hu Xueman gave the final instruction.
I nodded again, and Hu Xueman was about to leave, but as if he remembered something, he handed me and Surou two more talismans, and said: "This talisman was drawn by your master. It has good power to destroy evil and suppress evil. Take it."
Come on."
"This red rope is used to lock a person's yang energy to avoid being discovered by evil things. It's a pity that I can't knot or untie it, and there is only one. Otherwise, you two can find a place to hide. As long as that thing
Not here." Hu Xueman sighed.
I took the time to ask: "What is that thing? Do you know?"
"The one you released is the Hungry Ghost King! It looks like he has already transformed! I'm leaving, we can't waste any more time." After saying that, Hu Xueman hugged Ling Ruyue and turned around and ran away, a little faster than before.
This is not because he is cold-blooded, but because he knows that the faster he runs now, the more our lives and Surou's will be guaranteed.
Looking at Hu Xueman's disappearing figure, I supported Surou and said to him: "I'll help you walk slowly. After the intense running just now, you will finally walk slowly for a while, then sit down and rest."
Surou didn't have the energy to speak, so he just nodded, and we started walking slowly in the direction where Hu Xueman ran, just like taking a walk.
After walking for three to five minutes, Surou's condition got better. I helped him sit down against the wall, took out the water and took a sip, then handed it to him: "Drink slowly, take a sip, take a break, yes."
It’s good for your body to recover, but you’ll have to work hard to wait.”
Su Rou took a sip of water and his condition was much better. He said to me, "Why are you staying here? You can come back and save me if you run away with Lao Hu."
"No, Su Rou, I'm not being stupid with you. Do you remember what you said when you pulled me up? You said you wouldn't let go if someone chopped you, and neither would I! If I were with you, we would
Even if I meet you, I can still fight to the death. I dare not risk your life even if I want you alone. Now that the situation has changed, even if someone cuts me, I will not let go!" I said seriously.
Surou's eyes suddenly turned red, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Good brother."
The two of us were silent for a while. After all, this disgusting atmosphere was not suitable for two grown men, not even big boys. Then we laughed again.
"I got goosebumps just now, my son, hahaha," I said.
"Just now, my son, I was so moved that I also wanted to vomit, haha," Su Rou also said.
But what accompanied our laughter was a roar and footsteps!
Surou and I stopped laughing. Surou looked at me seriously and said, "I bet that big guy is getting closer to us." As he said this, Surou held the kitchen knife in his hand!
"Well, it seems to be able to sense us from a distance, and its ghost lingers. I finally know why Master tied Cynomorium knots on people. It must be to avoid these troubles." I also took out the rolling pin.
"By the way, I just saw that girl Ling Ruyue having her mouth covered by Hu Xueman, with tears streaming down her face." As Su Rou was talking, he took out a steamed bun and handed it to me, saying, "I'm full, I'm ready to fight."
I took a bite of the steamed bun. In fact, I also saw Ling Ruyue's scene. I guess this little girl also wanted to stay or something, but Hu Xueman didn't allow this. He couldn't bring anyone back, right?
After all, Surou and I are teenagers, and Ling Ruyue is just a little girl.
"That little girl still has a sense of loyalty." As I spoke, I put down the steamed buns, grabbed Su Rou's hand, and pressed it on the sharp edge of the kitchen knife. Suddenly the blood from the middle finger of Su Rou's right hand started to flow out again.
"What are you doing?" Su Rou was still eating steamed buns and suddenly became angry.
"To deal with these evil things, it is better to use a kitchen knife stained with blood. It will cause great damage to them. Don't waste it. Apply it on the blade. Yes, apply some on my rolling pin too." I explained.
"Sanwa'er, you idiot, didn't you say that I'll use yours next time?" Surou grabbed my neck in an instant. I guess this kid was really angry. He didn't say hello and used his again.
