Gu Mang stopped moving.
"Hahaha!" Yue Chenqing laughed. "Fourth Uncle, you're amazing. It's really useful!"
The Murong Lian said impatiently, "What's the use? He can't move now. Are we going to leave him here? Or are you going to carry him in? "
"It's okay. We'll leave him here." Yue Chenqing said, "This Body Securing Talisman has the Thunder Breaking Curse on it. No matter how powerful someone is, they won't be able to break it in a short time. They won't be able to touch him."
Mo Xi said, "We can't leave him here alone."
"But the Thunder Breaking Curse is very powerful. Other people won't be able to —"
"It's hard to be safe." Mo Xi said, "Do you have any other magic tools that can take him with you?"
Yue Chenqing thought for a while. "Ah!" he said, "Yes, yes! Wait! " As he spoke, he began to rummage through his Qiankun bag. After a while, he took out a small bamboo figurine.
Murong Lian said, "Isn't this a broken toy that kids on the streets play with?"
"It's the same. It's just that this one is enchanted." As Yue Chenqing spoke, he put the palm-sized bamboo figurine on the ground and muttered a string of incantations.
… There was no reaction.
"Uh, I seem to have remembered wrongly. Let me try again. Big Brother Murong, Lord Xi He, don't be anxious." Yue Chenqing scratched his ears and cheeks. He repeated the incantations many times. Just as the Murong Lian was about to interrupt him, a golden light suddenly flashed. The bamboo figurine rose from the ground. From a palm-sized doll, it turned into a tall bamboo warrior.
Yue Chenqing laughed. "That's it!" As he spoke, he helped the immobile Gu Mang up. He looked at Mo Xi and the Murong Lian with his round eyes. "Do you want to give me a hand?"
The Murong Lian put on a fake smile and said, "I won't touch him. It's too dirty. "
Mo Xi, who had been standing at the side with his arms crossed, walked up and asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"
"Fix his four limbs to the bamboo warrior's four limbs. There are brackets on the bamboo warrior's body. Do you see them?"
Mo Xi did so. Although Gu Mang was immobilized by the Body Securing Talisman and could not move or speak on his own, he was aware of what was happening around him. He glared at the two people who were messing with him, then at Mo Xi and then at Yue Chenqing.
The two of them tied Gu Mang to the bamboo warrior. Yue Chenqing used the bamboo warrior's waist rope to wrap around Gu Mang's waist four or five times. Then he whistled and said, "All right, let's take two steps and see what happens?"
The bamboo warrior began to walk hand to hand and foot to foot. Because Gu Mang was tied to it, he also walked hand to hand and foot to foot.
This was a very exquisite and interesting magic tool. Anyone else would have praised it. However, Yue Chenqing was surrounded by Lord Xi He, who was bored to death, and Lord Wangshu, who was picky to death.
Lord Xi He crossed his arms and did not speak. He only watched. Lord Wangshu snorted. "It's just a small trick from the Yue family." He took two puffs of Floating Like A Dream and exhaled. He pointed his pipe at Gu Mang and said, "What else can it do besides walking?"
"Fighting and dodging. It can do anything." Yue Chenqing was not angry. He was still very proud. "It can also dance."
The Murong Lian bit his pipe. He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he said, "Why don't you let it dance?"
Yue Chenqing blew the whistle again. The bamboo warrior began to move stiffly to the left and right. Gu Mang was also forced to follow the bamboo warrior and began to move left and right. Although his movements were charmingly naive, his pair of snowy wolf-like blue eyes stared fiercely. It seemed that if he could move, he would definitely bite them all to death.
"It can also dance the Hu Xuan Dance, as long as …"
"All right." Mo Xi interrupted him. "Let's go."
After a pause, he added, "Give the bamboo warrior an order. Let it follow at the back."
The cave where the Ghost Shadow was hiding was dark and very deep. There were many forks in the large cave, separating it into several small caves. The three of them … and the bamboo warrior carrying Gu Mang. The four of them slowly walked inside. The empty cave was filled with the sound of metal plates embedded in Mo Xi's military boots, Yue Chenqing's footsteps, and the creaking of the bamboo warrior's joints.
Only the Murong Lian walked without making any sound. His steps were always light and floaty. He wore the best silk shoes, so there was no sound at all.
The Murong Lian was very proud of this. "The sound of your footsteps can wake up even a three-year-old sleeping child, let alone a flower thief."
Yue Chenqing was very honest. "Then I'll walk more gently."
Mo Xi said coldly, "Do you think he doesn't know that we've entered the cave? There's no other way out of this path. This cave is his base. He's just hiding somewhere to recover his spiritual power and waiting for us to come over. "
Yue Chenqing was a fence-sitter. "Then I'll walk more loudly."
The bamboo warrior: "Creak! Creak! "
Mo Xi was right. It required a lot of spiritual power to cast the Man in Dreams. The ghost was hiding in a cave and gathering spiritual power. As they walked deeper into the cave, they found more and more traces of this person's temporary residence.
There were dried blood clots on the main path. Some of the stalagmites that had pierced out had torn pieces of clothing hanging on them. These were obviously left behind by the cultivators who had been killed, or by the girls who had been tied up. Yue Chenqing even saw an embroidered shoe hidden in a corner of a rock.
In order to delay time, the flower thief had set up a lot of spells in the cave. However, the three people sent by the Emperor — Mo Xi was strong in fighting and had the ability to command; Yue Chenqing came from a family of weapon refiners and had many magical things that were unexpected; and the Murong Lian was good at illusions and healing. Therefore, the spells that the flower thief had set up in the cave were not a problem for them. Soon, they arrived at a long stone bridge in the karst cave.
"It should be in front." Mo Xi looked at the end of the stone bridge. The far end of the stone bridge seemed to be a relatively spacious cave. There was a faint green light shining from spells.
However, because this "stone bridge" was naturally formed by cold stones in the karst cave, although it connected the two ends, it was actually made of spirit stones from the deep lake in the cave. Their sizes and distances were different, and they were very slippery.
Mo Xi looked at the bottom of the "bridge". The towering stone pillars were about a hundred meters tall, and at the bottom was a gurgling undercurrent. This kind of broken bridge was not difficult for them to cross, but …
He turned back and asked Yue Chenqing, "Is the bamboo warrior good at lightness skills?"
Yue Chenqing shook her head.
Mo Xi frowned and looked at Gu Mang, who was tied to the bamboo warrior and had a murderous look on his face.
"But it seems that we can order the zombie to jump. The broken parts of the stone bridge should be able to jump over."
"…"
This was a big contradiction between Yue Chenqing and Mo Xi when they were stationed in the army for two years. Deputy Commander Yue Chenqing liked to use "maybe", "probably", and "should" when speaking, but Commander Mo Xi usually only accepted "definitely", "definitely", and "definitely".
Thus, Mo Extinguishing glanced at him and didn't agree to his "zombie jump". He only said, "Come with me yourselves." Then, he suddenly grabbed Gu Mang's collar with one hand and leapt into the air. He was very strong and had a good foundation in lightness skills. Before his voice died away, he was already ten feet away like a black kite.
Yue Chenqing was stunned, "Wow … good skill …"
The Murong Lian sneered, "What's so great about that?"
The four of them crossed the stone bridge that was hundreds of meters long. When they looked back, they could only see a distant shadow. Mo Xi put the bamboo warrior on the ground. He did not look at Gu Mang and said to the others, "Let's go."
This was indeed the last cave in this huge cave. The stone forest and stalagmites gradually intertwined. The green light of the magic came from a cluster of stone forest in the heart of the cave.
The group was about to walk in when Yue Chenqing, who liked to look around, suddenly exclaimed, "Look! There are words there! "
Mo Xi lit up a fireball in his palm. He waved his hand and let the fireball hover above the towering stone slope that Yue Chenqing pointed at. Under the light of the fireball, they saw that there were a few lines of crooked black and red words on the stone wall. They looked like they were written with blood.
"Marrying a mountain maiden, crying at night. First, I hate my duckweed body. Second, I hate my beauty. Third, I hate my husband and I are forever wrong.
Red mules, golden crowns. First, I laugh with a sad face. Second, I laugh with tears of blood. Third, I laugh with a passer-by who can't leave. "
Yue Chenqing murmured the words one by one. After he finished, before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a soft chuckle behind him.
He turned around abruptly, and without any warning, his nose bumped into a deathly pale face!
"Ah ah ah ah!!!!" Yue Chenqing immediately screamed. He jumped three feet high and rolled back to dodge.
He saw clearly that at some point, more than ten female corpses wearing red mules and golden crowns had quietly walked out from the shadows of the stalagmite forest. He was standing in front of a stalagmite pillar, so when he turned around, he saw the face of one of them.
"Mo Mo Mo Mo Handsome — —! Help, help me ah ah ah ah!!! "
Although Yue Chenqing was a cultivator, he was abnormally afraid of ghosts because he had heard a lot of supernatural stories. He was so scared that he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf for a long time. He wanted to move his legs and run away, but because he was so scared, he fell to the ground with a plop. His eyes were wide open and his cheeks were flat. He looked like a screaming groundhog.
The female corpse looked at him without moving. Her robe embroidered with golden butterflies fluttered with the cold wind in the cave.
Yue Chenqing's throat rolled a few times. Suddenly, a light flashed in his numb head. He said involuntarily, "You, aren't you … Sister Cui from the teahouse?"
Miss Cui was expressionless. Her dead face had a kind of numb peacefulness.
After a while, she suddenly chuckled. Then, two streams of blood flowed down from her widened eyes.
The first laugh made her look miserable. The second laugh made her bleed. The third laugh …
Yue Chenqing thought of the words on the cliff and his mind buzzed. He hurriedly screamed at Mo Xi, who was fighting with the other female corpses, "Ah ah ah ah! Lord Xi He!! Don't let her laugh a third time! Otherwise, she won't let me go!!! "
The Murong Lian's response was a hit on his head with his opium pipe. It turned out that Murong Lian was not far from him. Because Yue ChenQing's screams had almost pierced her eardrums, she was extremely angry. She raised the cigarette holder and fiercely knocked it a few times, knocking a tube of ash onto Yue ChenQing's head.
He said angrily, "You piece of trash, don't you know how to hit yourself? Isn't it just a zombie?! "
"But I, I … I'm afraid of ghosts!!!" Yue Chenqing shouted while hugging the Murong Lian's leg without caring about his image.
The Murong Lian was speechless.
At this moment, Miss Cui opened her scarlet mouth and laughed for the third time, "Hee … Hee …"
"Hee your head!"
Before the female ghost could finish laughing, the Murong Lian unceremoniously stuck his opium pipe into her mouth. Then, he lowered his head and said angrily to Yue Chenqing, who was holding onto his trousers, "Why are you hugging me? Let go of me!!"
