Volume 2 Dusty Memory Chapter 23 The Ghost Dianbai of the Night
"King, when will we set out?" General Jin Helm followed the king into the main room and asked, half-kneeling.
"Tomorrow, enter..."
Before he could finish saying that sentence, Grandpa Grandpa was woken up by shouts and felt dizzy. The dream was too real, like a replay, and Grandpa Grandpa didn't know whether to believe it or not. But
The sound that woke my great-grandfather did not stop, but became louder and louder.
"Dad, save me." At this time, Liu'er was tied into a rice dumpling by the vines on the tree, leaving only a mouth that could still speak.
In the blink of an eye, a vine slithered around Liu'er's neck like a long snake and tightened suddenly. Liu'er's mouth was so big, but she could no longer make any sound. Grandpa was shocked and touched it quickly.
Touching his neck, luckily there was nothing. But Liu'er was not so lucky. He couldn't breathe for a while, and his face turned from red to the color of pig liver. In this way, in a short time, Liu'er would be
Will suffocate to death.
But the man was deaf at this time and was sleeping next to the fire. He couldn't hear a sound at all. Liu'er's hands and feet had been tied tightly and she couldn't break free. She could only let the cane control it.
After Tiao tied Liu'er into a ball, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, leaving a little space in Liu'er's throat to breathe. Great-grandpa felt a hair in his heart. Is this thing a plant or an animal? Why does he feel that this thing is different from a human being?
As thoughtful?
Looking at Liu'er's originally pig liver-colored face, it turned slightly white. It seemed that Liu'er had gone through a lot of struggle after finding out, and now she has lost all her strength.
The great-grandfather was watching cautiously and panicked, fearing that the vines would also find him, so he quickly looked around. Where were the vines around? How could those vines dare to come close when the great-grandfather slashed them down before? He saw that there were no such vines around.
The strange vines made Grandpa feel a little more at ease.
But Miss Liu'er's situation was not so optimistic. Seeing that Liu'er didn't struggle any more, the vines actually dragged her slowly towards the tree trunk where she was. At this time, there was an upright line in the center of the trunk.
The mouth, that mouth is big enough to swallow a person, and the way it opens and closes is clearly to swallow Liu'er. The terrifying appearance reminds people of a man-eating tree, but this one has more man-eating trees.
helper.
"This thing can eat people?" My great-grandfather muttered as he jumped off the tree crown. But there were several people hugging the big tree, surrounding him. My great-grandfather could only be cautious and guarded, and he felt even more confused.
Complex. Although I say it
I have only met Liu'er once, but I always felt that this woman had a good heart and had said a few nice words to him. Now I am afraid that I can't bear to watch her die, but if I rush out like this, I might not be able to save her.
Adults catch up with themselves instead.
While Grandpa Grandpa was weighing the pros and cons, the cane pulled Liu'er closer and closer. Liu'er was desperate. She originally hoped that the man could save her life, but now it seemed that the man was sleeping too hard and didn't even notice.
"Gudu..." The sound clearly came from the mouth of the man-eating tree, waiting for Liu'er to come and feed himself.
"Roar..." roars rang out from tree trunks in all directions, and the quiet night was suddenly shattered into pieces, like the unwilling roars of thousands of wild beasts.
The cane lifted the willow up high, and the crown of the tree began to sway, as if it was showing off to the cannibal trees. The willow was put into the mouth little by little, and the sky didn't respond, and the earth didn't work, and in the end, it could only be despaired.
He closed his eyes.
Seeing Liu'er's appearance, the great-grandfather felt a pang in his heart. A beautiful woman died in front of his eyes like this. It was really unmanly to sit back and watch.
"If you die, you will die. You can't be such a coward." Grandpa gritted his teeth, held the gold-encrusted black knife on his waist, and rushed out.
"Something's wrong!" The moment he stepped out of the shadow of the tree, my great-grandfather stopped his step and slowly retreated into the shadow of the tree.
Sure enough, something changed. The man lying next to the fire was already standing at some point. There was no expression of surprise on his face. He seemed to have anticipated the scene in front of him, and he was just watching every move of the man-eating tree coldly.
The man-eating tree was extremely cautious about its movements. If a person reacted at all, it would hide. But at this time, all the man-eating tree's attention was on Liu'er, and it didn't pay attention to the man's actions.
The bloody mouth has opened to a huge size. As long as the cane is loosened, Liu'er will fall into the opening. At this moment, Grandpa saw it clearly. There were about ten centimeters of saw teeth near the opening. This man wanted to
If you fall inside, you will definitely be minced into pieces.
But the man would not give the man-eating tree this chance. In the blink of an eye, the man pulled out the fallen willow with one hand and inserted it into the huge mouth with the other.
"Roar..." A bone-piercing roar came from the giant mouth, clearly indicating great pain.
The surrounding man-eating trees shook their crowns one after another, as if they were trembling in fear.
"Squeak..." A tearing sound came from the mouth, and a huge heart was pulled out by the man.
The man-eating tree began to shake violently, and finally emitted a burst of black smoke. When the black smoke dissipated, only a dead tree appeared in front of the eyes. There was no leaf in the crown, only a human head. The head's eyes were closed.
, there was a lot of blood on the mouth and nose, and the original fruits on the tree had turned into human eyes.
"This..." Before my great-grandfather could finish speaking, he felt his stomach churn, and he vomited aside. In the end, only the gall water was left in his stomach. Thinking of the many fruits he had eaten before, even the gall water
I also spit out all the water.
"Stretch out your hand." The man said expressionlessly.
Liu'er didn't speak, and slowly stretched out her arms. Her face turned pale, and she was clearly uneasy, but her eyes were a bit weird.
"If you don't act as bait, you won't be able to lure out this ghost Dian Bai." The man was clearly dissatisfied with Liu'er's attitude and grabbed Liu'er's arm fiercely.
Liu'er's hand was already purple in many places because of the rattan, and the pain caused Liu'er to frown again and again. The man didn't care about this, inserted his finger into the heart, and released a large bowl of green blood. Grandpa was far away.
I could smell the fishy smell everywhere, and I thought to myself: You are not going to force Liu'er to drink this, are you?
This time, my grandfather guessed wrong. The man’s fingertips touched the green blood in the bowl, and then pressed it on Liu’er’s forearm. Soon a rune appeared on Liu’er’s forearm, and the man then touched it on his own forearm.
Draw a line.
"What's the use of this?" Liu'er frowned, clearly not liking the smell of green blood.
"What's the use? The ghost cypress eats people without spitting out their bones, and the human eyes turn into fruit. This fruit can prolong life, but no one is willing to eat it. The bark of the ghost cypress is indestructible, even black iron weapons can't do anything.
The only weakness is at that intersection
Take the heart from your mouth and draw talismans on your skin, and then you can drive away the harassment of the ghost Dianbai. We don't have so much energy to deal with this kind of thing, so we can sleep now." After a brief explanation, the man stopped talking to Liu'er.
Started to fall asleep on the spot.
"Is there such a strange tree in the world?" Grandpa pouted, and then thought about it: "However, this fruit can prolong life, do I want it?"
Then my great-grandfather lowered his head and looked at the puddle of vomit, and a difficult decision came before him: prolong life, or prolong life?
In the end, my great-grandfather still didn't have the courage. After all, it was not something a normal person could do to swallow those crumbly things back.
"Forget it, forget it, that guy must be talking nonsense, I can't believe it." Grandpa comforted himself while looking at the puddle of things with great distress.
Being among thousands of ghostly cypresses, no one would feel comfortable, but my great-grandfather disappeared into the dark night with a grin.
"Even if the ghost cypress screams, you can't hear it here, right? Do it!" Grandpa looked around and picked the largest and tallest ghost cypress.
"You live the longest, leave opportunities to young people, and go on the road with peace of mind."
The black iron could not break the bark of the ghost cypress, but the black knife inlaid with gold could do it. The knife easily cut open the trunk of the ghost cypress. Grandpa swallowed his saliva and stretched his hand in.
"What is this? Why is it so long? It looks like pig intestines." Great-grandpa pulled out a long object, looked at it twice, and stuffed it in again: "I don't want this, so I'll give it back to you."
"This seems to be liver, right? There's no need for this."
"This thing looks like pig lungs, but it's not."
"Not yet! How did that man touch the heart? Why can't I touch it?"
The ghost Dianbai was considered unlucky. After a lot of trouble, my great-grandfather took out the heart of the ghost Dianbai. After a burst of black smoke, the ghost Dianbai also turned into a dead tree, but there seemed to be more heads at the crown.
Order something. Grandpa took a closer look and saw that there were two lines of clear tears. The naughty boy grinned and said sorry repeatedly. (To be continued)
