Before I had time to react, I only saw a long black shadow coming toward the door in front of me, reflecting the faint light. Then, stars appeared in front of my eyes, and the clanging sound from before appeared at a close distance.
It was even a bit deafening. The appearance of Venus in the dark night felt very romantic, but the dizziness and pain that followed, along with the clanging sound that still echoed in my skull, made me unconsciously feel as if I was drunk.
I tried my best to stand firm, but I couldn't stand firm, and I suddenly fell sideways to the ground.
Although I briefly lost my balance, I did not lose consciousness. In the trance, the pain no longer seemed so real. Instead, my ears were buzzing. I could hear those people talking, but what they said was not clear to me.
I couldn't hear it at all, just like I was underwater and listening to people talking on the shore. Soon I realized that these people were the four people from the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, who would have done such a heavy trick?
When I thought of this, I deliberately reminded myself to stand up, so the buzzing in my ears gradually weakened, but the pain increased significantly.
My consciousness gradually recovered, but I saw those people taking turns kicking Hu Zongren who was lying on the ground. Hu Zongren had been curled up and motionless, but he did not fight back. This was obviously not his style, unless he had done that before.
I am still heavy. Among the four people, a thin man kicked and beat the most vigorously. While beating and beating, he cursed in his mouth, "You brat, I told you to hit me! I told you to hit me." With the experience accumulated over the years,
I soon knew that this voice was the White Lotus cultist whom Hu Zongren and I had beaten in the Heshen Temple a few days ago.
While kicking Hu Zongren in the stomach, Hu Zongren would occasionally make a snorting noise. Several other people stood aside and watched. One of them said, "Don't hit him. If you kill someone, you will be in trouble."
My accent was from another place, because I spoke Mandarin, but my accent was stiff, so I couldn’t be from the northern language family. Since I fell to the ground and didn’t move, those people probably thought I had been knocked unconscious, and they must have never thought about it.
When I was a kid, I had so many bricks on my head with everyone. Li Xiaotie’s nickname was not for nothing. Although I really wanted to help Hu Zongren, we were both hit hard, and there were four people on the other side. Good guys don’t eat.
Hu Zongren is relatively experienced in facing losses, so he should be able to endure it.
At this time, I began to blame myself for my stupidity, for underestimating our opponents too much, and ultimately paying the price for our arrogance. These people must have known that we must be ambushing nearby and following us as soon as we walked to the park.
Those words they said at the fence on the edge of the cliff were all deliberately staged for us. They deliberately looked in the wrong direction to give Hu Zongren and I time to find the right place. This beating was simply a slap in the face.
We asked for it ourselves. Hu Zongren reminded me before he came that we might have to fight. Before I even started the fight, I asked someone to be ruthless from the beginning. Judging from the dark shadow against the backlight, one of them
The man was holding something in his hand, which should be the murder weapon that knocked Hu Zongren and I to the ground just now. Judging from the shadow, it should be a portable military shovel. Damn, these people are really capable of killing.
If I had been hit in places like my temple all at once, I would probably be dead now. But the man with the shovel kept laughing and watching the show, looking very proud of himself, which made me feel anxious.
I felt a wave of hatred, and I thought to myself, don’t get too proud too soon, because when Hu Zongren and I recover, you will have to get down one by one.
In fact, I have always been such a person. Although I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble, I never shy away from fights. I have also been beaten by several people at the same time. I know that I am not my opponent, so I will selectively ignore other people's punches and kicks, and only fight.
Grab the leader and beat him, so that at least I can beat the next one down. I'm not Ip Man, and I can't beat ten of them. This is the only way I can think of in this situation to defeat others without losing momentum.
way.
After beating him for a while, the thin man spat on Hu Zongren, then rested his hands on his hips to catch his breath. One of the people pointed at me and said, "What about this guy? Why don't you hit him?" The thin man said,
No more fighting, this kid is not bad, just let him go. After saying that, he walked to the side and prepared to take away the copper box on the ground.
When he saw the earthworms in the box, his reaction was similar to my first, and he felt nauseated. But he quickly calmed down, picked up the box, and poured all the earthworms inside onto Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren
He was still curled up on the ground, trembling slightly, and he didn't seem to be unconscious. He was just beaten a little badly. The man knocked the box on the ground a few times to shake out the remaining earthworms. The man with a foreign accent said
, It’s not in vain to waste such a long time, we finally found it, and the beating you received that day was not in vain. The other people laughed, and another one also said, if it hadn’t been calculated at the beginning, these two boys would have gone to that old man.
At home, we don’t have to act like this anymore.
When I heard this, I felt a chill in my heart. It turned out that I thought I had uncovered the story of this man following Hu Zongren that day. Unexpectedly, all this was deliberately designed by the other party to attract Hu Zongren and I to them.
We are facing each other. In this way, although we don't know what the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and Xuanyuan Society is, at least this hostile relationship has been directly grafted onto Hu Zongren and I. From that day on, people from the White Lotus Sect can blatantly
Taking advantage of us, just like today, I thought I was smarter and more careful than them, but I still became the target of their use. I worked hard to find something, but let them reap the benefits. Thinking of this, I felt sad.
, it seems that when it comes to intrigues, I am really no match for these old gangsters.
The thin man said, "Why are there so many earthworms in this box and they haven't been shaken yet? Why are there still earthworms in this winter? In fact, this is something I find very strange. Generally speaking, earthworms are eaten in summer, especially after rain."
Yes, they usually don't appear in winter. Such a high density in this box only shows that the things in this box have a kind of spirituality. Situ said that after the four mythical beasts, there is an earth dragon in the middle.
, belongs to earth and represents earthworms. I knew we might encounter earthworms this time, but I always thought they were as thick as an arm as the tea stall owner said, but I never thought that there were such a number.
So many. I glanced at Hu Zongren secretly. He was covered in earthworms, but he was motionless. If it were me, I would have jumped up in disgust.
The person with a foreign accent replied that the things here must require such a ritual. The people who buried these have been dead for many years now. The middle belongs to soil, and earthworms drill into the soil, so they must be
The reason why it was protected by the power of the five elements, otherwise it would definitely not be well preserved after so many years. He went on to say that where there are earthworms, it must be better soil and have more spiritual energy. The thin man did not say anything, but kept talking.
Cleaning the earthworms in the box. I pressed my face against the bottom and smelled the unique smell of earth in my nose. Apart from being a little dizzy, I felt that my consciousness had completely recovered. I began to slowly
I moved my fingers to find a stone on the ground, because these people probably wouldn't let Hu Zongren and I go so easily. This fight was inevitable. Fortunately, there were cliffs everywhere in this place.
I quickly grabbed one of the stones that came without being noticed, and then grabbed a handful of loose soil with the other hand. This soil was made when digging the hole just now, mixed with small particles.
Pebbles and sand.
Soon, it seemed that the thin man had finally poured out all the earthworms inside. He leaned over to the box and looked at the contents with a light, and then asked the other three people around him what it was and what it had a lid on.
, shall we open it? The one with the foreign accent said, it’s better not to open it, we just need to find it, and leave the rest to the master. So the thin man closed the lid of the copper box, and then planned to leave. The foreign accent
People asked, what should we do with these two guys? The thin man said, don't care about them, they will not die, and he will leave when he wakes up. These two young people are well-educated people, and ordinary people can't do anything to them. After talking about them
They left back and forth. Before leaving, the thin man stretched out his foot and kicked Hu Zongren twice to see if he was dead.
It is said that good people do not live long, and evil people live for thousands of years, so evil people like Hu Zongren will definitely live for thousands of years. I waited until those guys walked a little further, then got up and shook Hu Zongren, and Hu Zongren slowly
He stood up, spit out a mouthful of saliva or blood, and then cursed in a low voice, "Immortal, let's see if I don't kill these idiots this time."
His tone was gritted, but it was a bit labored. I knew that if I didn't let Hu Zongren be released today, he would never be able to get out of this tone. So I asked him, are your legs and feet okay? He said they were okay, he didn't move just now.
I just don’t want to pick four. I asked him, so you don’t know that I am pretending, right? Hu Zongren said how the hell did I know that you are behind me and I can’t see you. I asked him if you are serious now.
You can call me, don't suffer. It takes ten years for a gentleman to take revenge... Before I could finish my words, Hu Zongren pushed me hard on the chest, and I fell to the ground without being able to stand still.
Hu Zongren said to me in a low voice, "Do you think something's wrong with me? Are you going to follow me? If you don't, I'm going to go by myself!"
