Chapter 41 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
Sand, sand, sand.
There was a faint sound of disturbing something in the ear.Lin Mian's slender eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes.
A large pot with firewood under it.The fire was burning hot.Several ghosts stood on chairs and stirred the pot with long wooden sticks.
Lin Mian lay on the ground.He tried to straighten his body, but found that his hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes behind his back.
A ghost who was very old and also without eyeballs turned his head from the side of the cauldron.
"you're awake?"
Lin Mian originally wanted to pretend to be dizzy to figure out the situation and play it by ear, but he didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive.He opened his eyes and hummed coldly.
"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"
The old ghost did not answer his question.Instead, he asked, "What is your relationship with Ye Wenshi?"
Lin Mian narrowed his eyes.Now even if he denies that it doesn't matter at all, the other party probably won't let him go.
"Blood relationship," he said.
The old ghost snorted, as if agreeing with this statement.
"Then... is he still alive?"
This question stunned Lin Mian for a moment.He didn't know... Ye Wenshi was dead?Isn't this a well-known thing in the world?
He looked at the ghost's old appearance... Maybe he has been isolated from the world for a long time in this remote bamboo forest, or he may not know it.
That being the case...
"Of course he is still alive." Lin Mian said, "He may still be looking for me now... He will not let others hurt me. But you let me go, I think he will be willing to give everything in exchange. I have There is a way to get in touch with him."
The ghost's stirring of the pot stopped.
Behind the ghost who spoke just now, a ghost with an image of an old woman turned her head, and a bell rang above her head.She asked sharply, "How do we know what you're saying is true?"
Lin Mian closed her eyes.When he opened it again, his bound hands moved and he erected a book.
"Here's the book he gave me. You'll know it when you read it."
The old ghost jumped off the stool, came to Lin Mian's side, and picked up the book with trembling hands.Ghosts have no eyes, and although they have some blurred vision, they can only see some shapes and cannot read the contents of the book.He spread the book in front of Lin Mian and asked Lin Mian to read it.
Lin Mian was interrupted after reading a few sentences according to the content of the book.
"Yes, this ability is indeed something of that devil. What the kid said should be the truth."
Immediately, the corner of the ghost's mouth twitched, and his voice became cold and weird again: "But... what's the use, what we want is the life of the devil!"
"Why?" Lin Mian asked.
"Why? Are you ashamed to ask why? It is because of him that we have become like this, and it is because of him that Master Laiyu has left! All this is because of his arrival, we wish we could tear him to pieces!" Halfway through the ghost's speech, his voice dropped again, "...but you said you could contact him?"
"People in our family have our own methods." Lin Mian said.
"Okay...then you ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Master Kuyu. If he is willing to tell us the whereabouts of Master Kuyu, you can return without incident. If you don't know, or use some other tricks, your blood It will be used by us to restore our strength and comfort the suffering we have suffered through all these years."
"But I don't even know who Lord Guyu is." Lin Mian said, "You must at least tell me everything before I can ask him."
The old ghost stood there silently, and the shadow between the eye sockets looked even darker.
He suddenly raised his fingertips and summoned a younger ghost, "Bring that thing here."
"But……"
"Stop talking so much."
The little ghost went.
When he came back, he brought a large round bronze mirror.The little ghost held it up and handed it to Lin Mian hesitantly.
Lin Mian took the mirror.This bronze mirror is very old.The style is very ordinary, the front and back are just ordinary copper blocks, it doesn't look like anything special.He turned it around and held it in his hand, raising his eyes slightly at the ghost.
"what is this?"
Before the ghost could reply, the bronze mirror shone with a faint light.When Lin Mian was attracted by the light and lowered his head, he found that the surrounding vision had changed, a little hazy, like a projection cast in the air.The surrounding sounds also disappeared, and he saw the bamboo forest, just like the one above the earth cave where he was, but the bamboos seemed much shorter.
A figure in black holding a person appeared in front of him.
Lin Mian knew almost subconsciously that the man in black was Ye Wenshi... Then, the man in his arms with a knife stuck in his chest... Who is it?
Ye Wenshi's appearance looks much more decent than the image of the devil in the rumors.Sword eyebrows and star eyes, tall and heroic.He walked with strides, his eyes were calm, and he turned a blind eye to everything in the bamboo forest.The only person I can see from time to time is the person who is holding him in his arms.
That person is more feminine, and his facial features are also very beautiful.For some reason, Lin Mian felt familiar.But there was a knife stuck in his belly, and there were many pieces of talisman paper hanging on the knife body, and there was no blood, but... this man was not breathing.
There are some ringing sounds and some laughter in the scene.Ye Wenshi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked down at the short ghost that suddenly appeared in front of him.At this time, they still have eyes, and they are more moist than they are now.
"You don't want to go any further, I know you want to see Mr. Langyu, who has already seen you. Please go back!" Ghost said with a sharp smile.
Ye Wenshi turned a deaf ear to it.When a group of ghosts tried to stop him, he just raised his eyes slightly.Immediately afterwards, a tornado formed by countless streams of sand and dust rose up on the ground, dragging the ghosts into the land.
The sand extended a straight line forward, pointing to the depths of the bamboo forest.
Lin Mian knew that this line was leading people to the right path.
Ye Wenshi hugged the person in his arms a little higher, and continued to walk forward.
The scene also changed as Ye Wenshi moved forward.They traversed much of the wooded terrain, as difficult as it is now.
Finally, Ye Wenshi stopped in front of a row of circular bamboo cages.Many ghosts ran over screaming and trying to stop Ye Wenshi.But without even raising their hands, they swept all the blockers to the ground.
The bamboo cage looked like it should have been very strong, and some formations were used in it.But in front of Ye Wenshi, he was as fragile as paper.With one finger, the whole bamboo cage immediately split from the middle, and collapsed like two sides.
The bamboo cages fell one after another, like an onion peeling off by itself.At the end of the fall, a circle of short bamboos also split in two directions.There is a futon suspended in the air among the bamboo.A young, middle-aged man with aqua-blue eyes sat cross-legged on top of the futon, looking at the passerby in disbelief.
Ye Wenshi came to this man with the dead man in his arms: "Master Prophet."
It turned out that this man was the Prophet - his name was Lai Yu.Master Kuyu groped his chin, looked up at his home with helplessness on his face, and said to Ye Wenshi: "You shouldn't ask me for something—why do you have such a begging attitude?"
That being said, the prophet didn't look serious.He sighed in frustration, his eyes shifted from Ye Wenshi to the person in his arms.
"You can't come back from the dead. If that's what you want to ask, please go back."
Ye Wenshi said: "I can't let him die. All methods are available."
"If everyone goes against the reincarnation of the law of heaven like you, how can we survive and maintain the balance in this world?"
"As long as this person is alive, I won't ask for anything else."
Langyu looked at the dead young man again, suddenly his eyes tightened, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he turned sideways without saying anything.When he raised his head, his face was cold and solemn: "This man? I have a long-standing enmity with people from the Immortal Sect, and Su Chengye's death has nothing to do with me. Go and find someone else."
Lin Mian trembled when he heard this name. The person who died was... Su Chengye, the patriarch of Laixi.
So what is the relationship between these two people...?
He didn't want to understand, and another amazing thing happened in the picture in front of him.
Ye Wenshi seemed to hear from Lang Yu's words that it was not completely helpless, so he appeared in front of Lang Yu almost instantly.Looking like a torch, he put a sword on Langyu's neck. At the same time, countless sandstones rose up and turned into countless sharp spikes, pointing at the whole body of Langyu.
"I don't respect gods, let alone people." Ye Wenshi said. "Any way, you know, say."
