Hearing Gou Wa's words, Sun Baolu took out one of the long leaf cards in his hand and played it out.
"I saw that Senior Brother Li went to the blacksmith in the village. He seemed to want to hit something. By the way, Gouwa, Senior Brother Li, didn't I ask you to go find out the news? Are you still playing leaf cards here? Aren't you afraid that he will come back and scold you?
Huh?"
"What a dog! Call me Cao Cao!" The dog waved out a card with a very unhappy expression.
"This small village is so big, so there is no need to spend any effort. What's more, I took the two little kids to inquire about it together. I finished the inquiry in a while. I heard from the old people in the village that there are insects in the forest to the west that eat people.
.Let us never go there."
"You want to go there? You can't go, you really can't go. My mother saw flying insects coiled in the sky ten years ago!" the host who was watching the cards interjected.
"Hey, it's okay! Anyway, Senior Brother Li is very powerful. As long as he is here, no matter what kind of worms, they can't get close to him. Hey~ Wait a minute, whoever shot this just now, I win~ Hahaha. Okay.
, all the eggs in your noodles belong to me."
"Look, Senior Brother Li is back."
I don’t know who said this, but everyone else turned their heads and saw Li Huowang walking towards the yard with a large cowhide bag in his hand.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, Li Huowang placed the cowhide bag in his hand on the table and opened it.
The inside of the cowhide bag is lined with rows of buttons, just enough to hang up the contents neatly.
He began to count the things hanging inside one by one. It was a brand-new sharp tool that had been smeared with clear oil. It was specially customized by him.
Big black iron pliers, sharp awls, small shovels the size of fingernails, and long needles with barbs.
These strange-looking things are so oozing just by looking at them.
Gou Wa picked up a spoon with a very sharp edge in his right hand and played with it for a while. "Senior Brother Li, what are these things? Why does it not feel like a weapon, but more like a torture instrument? Let's just say this, it's not good for killing people.
But it’s easy to button the eyes——”
Gou Wa's words stopped abruptly. He was frightened by what he just said.
He immediately remembered what happened on Reed Island before, the man who used pliers to cut off his teeth and crush his eyes.
Li Huowang reached out and snatched the things in his hand back, "How is the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
"Let's... find out, there are worms eating people in the forest. No one around will go there, and the worms are very peaceful and never come out." Gouwa looked at the things on the table.
There was deep fear in his eyes.
Li Huowang took out a small shovel and made some gestures with his fingernails, then put the things behind him and said, "Let's go."
"It's already noon. When it gets dark, why don't we stay one night before going?"
Sun Baolu's suggestion only received a cold glare from Li Huowang, "I said let's go!"
The carriage's wheels began to turn, slowly rolling toward the man-eating forest.
When the moon hung high, Li Huowang and others who were on their way finally arrived at their destination.
They saw an extremely dense bamboo forest in front of them, with little fireflies appearing and disappearing inside.
And a forest path is like a long snake, winding its way into the bamboo forest. Looking at the weeds on the ground, it seems that no one has walked on this road for a long time.
Li Huowang did not rush in recklessly. According to Master Jingxin, the eighteenth lunar month is a very changeable evil spirit. No one knows what it looks like now and what kind of threat it poses to him.<
/p>
He stood at the edge of the forest and quietly observed inside.
Time passed little by little, but everything inside was normal. There were no changes in the various living creatures that should exist. Li Huowang could even see some bamboo rats holding bamboo and gnawing on it.
It was not until dawn that Li Huowang stopped observing.
While eating noodles, Li Huowang said to the others: "It seems that there is nothing abnormal outside. After finishing this meal, we will go in. After we go in, I don't want you to do anything else. There is only one thing you need to do. If, I
It’s what if.”
After saying this, Li Huowang paused for a moment with a solemn expression. "If I behave abnormally, please guard me and don't let me run around."
Yes, Li Huowang asked them to go in together this time just for this reason.
As the effect of Black Tai Sui disappeared, Li Huowang felt that the space around him began to become unreal, and those hallucinations might swallow him up at any time.
Just in case, it is necessary for these people to follow you in.
Upon hearing this unusual request, the others looked at each other and nodded.
"That time shouldn't be too long, just wait until I come back."
After Li Huowang finished speaking, he took a sip of the soup. At this time, a slender white hand stretched out and gently touched Li Huowang's head. He suddenly felt a pain in his scalp.
"What are you doing?" Li Huowang looked at the owner of the hand, Bai Lingmiao, displeased.
"If you have any white hair, you need to pull it out. My mother said that if you keep it, there will be more and more white hair on your head."
Li Huowang began to speed up and immersed himself in scooping out the noodles with chopsticks.
Bai Lingmiao sat next to Li Huowang with her legs together.
She moved her fingers towards the red bamboo slips behind Li Huowang. "Brother Li, you have been carrying this thing with you -"
Before she could touch it, Li Huowang stood up suddenly, took the bowl and poured all the soup into his stomach, then threw the bowl into the empty iron pot, "Let's go into the forest."
Everyone who had eaten and drank enough followed Li Huowang and walked towards the path.
It was still early in the morning, but as soon as we walked into the forest, the surrounding area suddenly became dark.
The dense bamboo forest is like a barrier, blocking the sunlight in the sky.
The blue-green fluorescent stone was taken out again, and the surrounding area became brighter.
However, when this color illuminates the surrounding bamboo forest, it turns the green bamboo into a very sick color, as if it is infected with disease, making people feel uncomfortable.
As the fluorescence swayed, it seemed as if there was something hiding in the depths of the dense bamboo forest. Looking outside.
Li Huowang tried hard to see clearly, but couldn't see anything. But when he was about to turn around, the feeling like wheat awns piercing his back appeared again.
"This is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month? It's looking at me in the woods? What has it become now??"
Not only Li Huowang, but others also felt it.
There was only the sound of shoes stepping on weeds. No one spoke anymore, and soon the atmosphere around them began to become solemn.
"Senior Brother Li...have you...ever felt that the bamboo above our heads is getting closer and closer to our heads?"
After hearing this, everyone slowly raised their heads and saw that the surrounding bamboos had been completely bent, and the densely packed sickly colored bamboo tips were bent and pointing straight at them from above.
