Chapter 22 The Goatman's Secret 【22】
How... forgot me?
Jing Chen closed his eyes and chanted a mantra in a low voice, which was considered a simple ceremony.
Then they walked away from here, and this time they reached the entrance of the town with a clear goal.
The place is still surrounded by mist, but I don't know if it is an illusion, or the weather is better today, I always feel that the white mist has become lighter.
The visual distance of the eyes also became farther, and the mountain they climbed the first night could be vaguely seen.
The old mayor, who had passed the weak stage, got off Jingchen's back and originally wanted to take his wife onto him, but the old lady's unconcealable fear made him give up the idea.
After a while, it must be impossible to change...
He was at the forefront of the team, and he knew the route well without even needing a map.
That's right, if it wasn't for his familiarity, he wouldn't have been the first to discover this group of people on the mountain.
"Hey, do we have to take the path? No wonder we always went back to the original point." Peng Yun was surprised to find that the bushes in the town were pushed back to reveal the green path hidden behind.
It's hard to find here, unless someone familiar leads the way.
A group of them moved forward one after the other, and found that the old man seemed to have made inconspicuous marks in some places, relying on this method to guide.
Although the route is very winding, the direction of progress is very clear.
All kinds of negative emotions that originally surrounded their hearts suddenly became clear as they walked farther and farther away.
The man with glasses and Peng Yun even chatted about homework, temporarily forgetting all the unhappiness before, and cheerful laughter came from time to time.
But what I didn't expect was that this journey seemed too long. After walking for almost two hours, my leg muscles began to feel a little tired and sore, and I still didn't get out of the dense green vegetation.
Jing Chen's speed is not as fast as it was at the beginning, and his footsteps are a little slow. He is closer to the mayor, and his voice is a little dry after not drinking for a long time: "About how long before we can go out?"
The mayor who was walking in front was very silent all the time, he stopped when he heard his words, and waited for Jing Chen to walk side by side.
When he turned his head, with an amiable smile on his face, he said in a low voice: "We will soon be on the road ahead, and you also know that our town is in a barren mountain, so naturally we have to go farther."
Jingchen nodded, expressing his understanding, but he didn't mean to urge, but simply asked.You can't tell what's on your mind just by looking at his face.
……
"Huh? What do you want to do?" Jing Chen pinched the mayor's wrist, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was still some teasing in her eyes, "It's not good to even hide a knife on your body, just in case you hurt yourself What can I do?"
All eyes were on the mayor old man, some couldn't figure out why the old man who was leading the way just now would suddenly engage in a sneak attack.
The mayor did not expect that Jingchen looked gentle and thin, but his hands were not weak. The place where he was pinched was painful because he couldn't hold it, and the dagger fell due to looseness.
The sharp blade was inserted straight into the soil without any sense of stagnation. One can imagine what would happen if it were inserted into the neck...
And the mayor just now planned to do this, and he didn't leave any room for it. Unfortunately, the raised hand and the wind caused him to be exposed.
But if it wasn't for Jing Chen's quick reaction, it would be hard to avoid him even if he knew it!
Seeing that his behavior was exposed, his complexion was colorful and changed several times, but now there was no need to hide it, so he slammed his wrist a few times and broke free from the confinement, with a bit of disdain in his tone.
"Since you've come to Goat Town, why don't you leave your life behind? What a dream!"
What he meant was that he didn't plan to take them out of here from the beginning, it was just delaying time.
Seeing him like this, the old lady was the saddest. She originally thought that the old man should have changed, but now it seems that he is still the same after all, and cannot be changed at all...
Peng Yun was already exhausted, but when she found out that the mayor had made a detour for them, the resentment in her heart became stronger, and she said quickly: "You old man is really bad! It's fine if you don't want to take us out, but you still You don't need to be ashamed at such an age to engage in stabbing in the back!"
Unexpectedly, her words did not cause any harm to the old man. He is not even considered a human being, so how could he want to be shameless?
So he sneered a few times, and even trembled slightly with his goatee, "I was like this at first, but you guys thought too much of me. Anyway, without me leading the way, you can't leave here anyway, why don't you obediently go back with me. "
When he said this, his eyes wandered around in the woods shrouded in white mist. I don't know if it was an illusion. There seemed to be strands of black air mixed in the white mist, and black and white intertwined like silk.
Suddenly he thought of the scene that frightened him so much, he continued half-threateningly and half-persuadingly: "I'm afraid you don't know what will be in the forest? Maybe you are more cruel and cold-blooded than us. I didn't lie to you this time. Now go back with me and return the favor." In time."
His demeanor and tone really didn't look like he was lying, and the somewhat fearful look that could be found after careful observation greatly added credibility.
Jing Chen smiled, her shallow smile was peaceful, and the curve of her lips was soft, "Oh? That's not bad, let's go back, and suddenly found that going to the grill didn't seem to be that painful. The fire is reborn."
The mayor: "Are you serious?" The simplicity is unbelievable, but it also sounds a bit wrong.
"Of course it's fake." Jing Chen took out the red bowl while speaking, the smile on his lips remained unchanged.
Although the mayor had never seen Jingchen use a magic weapon, he felt the danger intuitively, and the alarm bells were ringing in his heart. He didn't dare to look down on this unscrupulous monk. It was only now that he clearly realized that the other party might just be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Where is the delicious food?Don't top hunters sometimes disguise themselves as monsters!
Seeing that his actions failed, he gave the old lady a final look of reluctance, and planned to run away with oil on the soles of his feet.
But he didn't expect that the ball of light emanating from the red bowl looked like he had eyes. Even though he made his old body as flexible as possible, he still couldn't shake off the ball of light that was chasing him.
Peng Yun and the man with glasses watched intently. At this time, the mayor was not like a goat, but rather like a monkey jumping up and down.
Jingchen found that the old lady turned to look at her with some low emotions, "I'm sorry, but this may be the best ending for him."
How could the old lady not understand what he meant?When she saw the ewe disappear before, she understood that everyone in this small town relied on the evil blood of the other half of their bodies to survive until now. If they were purified, the results would be predictable.
In the end, the light ball still submerged into the mayor's body, and the red bowl was slightly hot in Jing Chen's hands, shaking his body excitedly as if he had completed the task, and even made a low bowl sound.
The mayor closed his eyes and passed out after a fierce roar, but this process lasted for a relatively short time, and when he opened his eyes again, he was obviously confused.
It seems that even Jing Chen and the others have forgotten who they are.
But when he saw the old lady, he immediately ran towards her, with a joyful smile on his face, and a clarity that had never been seen in his eyes, which were always muddy and gray.
The old lady just looked at him stupidly, but she seemed to see the young man through the aging face.
"But don't worry, there will still be time. After all, the previous one didn't disappear immediately, but the time limit is unknown..." Jing Chen seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and after saying this, she didn't Say more.
The old lady thanked him in a low voice. In fact, for her, it was very good to see her partner again. She was completely desperate for the old man to return to normal before.
The old mayor took the old lady to talk about his excitement, and only after he calmed down did he intend to bow down to thank Jing Chen.
But Jingchen didn't dare to accept such a big gift, so he quickly helped him up.
But the old man still said: "It's all my fault. I have hurt many people. I'm really sorry. I will definitely do more good deeds to atone for my sins in the future, and I will pay more visits to Bodhisattvas... and..."
Jingchen just waved his hands and said no, after all, such things as losing his heart were not voluntary by the old mayor.
The old man's body became weaker in an instant, but he still insisted on picking up his wife from the back of the man with glasses. This scene of mutual support looked warm and touching.
This time, the old mayor was leading the way seriously, and it didn't take long before he saw the real exit.
The road in the distance is very modern, and vehicles pass by from time to time.
Just when the joy was on their faces and the relaxation finally felt that it was over, an abrupt voice came from behind them.
"Hey, how could you forget to bring me?"
This voice was cold and tinged with arrogance that they were familiar with, and they could know who it was even without turning their heads.
But it is precisely because they know who it is that they dare not look back...
After all, everyone has clearly confirmed that Shen Gong should be dead, how could he appear here? ?
Jingchen didn't like this stalemate like evasion, he was the first to turn around, and the person he saw was Shen Gong as expected.
The other party has not changed much from before, with a very tall stature, half of his face is covered by shadows, and only the exquisite and perfect jaw line catches people's attention.
He brushed his forehead hair casually, revealing a handsome face, his slightly pale thin lips parted into a smile: "What's wrong with you? It's strange to say that you are so stiff when you wake up from the mountain. It’s all gone, it’s really easy for me to find.”
Because of his words, the others felt a little better and looked at Shen Gong one after another. The blankness in the man's eyes did not seem to be fake, and there was no trace of a crack on his face.
The eyes then slid down to the belly, which was flat.
Can't see anything wrong.
Peng Yun plucked up her courage and shouted: "You don't come any closer! Pull up your shirt and let us see your belly, so we can try to trust you!"
She still can't forget what she saw before, and she doesn't know if it's true or not that she just came down from the mountain!
When Shen Gong appeared, the old lady inexplicably felt a chill penetrate into her bone marrow, but she couldn't tell the exact reason.
The old man didn't feel anything, all his attention was on his wife.
Although Shen Gong's eyes darkened and he was obviously displeased, he still held the hem of the clothes with two fingers and lifted them up. The texture of his abdominal muscles was clear and tough, and his complexion was healthy.
Completely different from the horror scene left in their minds before, Peng Yun even swallowed without any trace.
Then he spurned himself in his heart and even had evil thoughts towards Shen Gong!
According to Shen Gong, the night he was attacked by monsters on the mountain, he managed to escape from the monsters, but it was a pity that he lost his way and separated from them.
After that, I kept looking for a way out, and just happened to see them.
In other words... the one who got along with them before was not him at all!
Although the old mayor was the goat man who kidnapped Shen Gong, he shook his head in the questioning eyes, and just said: "I can't remember clearly, I seem to have almost forgotten the memory of the monster period. Sorry..."
Peng Yun and the others did not doubt that the old man would tell lies, because from the moment he returned to normal to the present, it can be seen that the other party has maintained the nature of the human period, very simple and kind.
Jing Chen seemed to let go of his guard. He no longer kept a distance from Shen Gong, but approached him in two steps. When talking, he got very close to him, but because of his height.
He was looking up, while Shen Gong was looking down.
"So, you are very lucky, but... can you be safe and sound without dealing with the wound?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze turned to the other party's severed arm, where it was dealt with, but it was very crude and the method was not rigorous.
Compared with bandaging to stop the bleeding, it is more like a decoration. It seems that "Shen Gong" is rarely injured and even bandaging is so casual.
The sarcasm on Shen Gong's expression slowly disappeared, but he didn't answer his words, his deep dark eyes narrowed slightly, looking at him with an unknown meaning.
The rebellious and unruly temperament that surrounded him before was also gone, and his expressionless face looked like another person.
"Isn't it tiring to be someone else?" Because the distance was relatively close, the sandalwood from Jing Chen's body reached Shen Gong's nose, and he took a step back to open the distance, but his hand had already slipped onto the red bowl in the cloth pocket.
Although with his current mental strength, his attack power has dropped significantly...
"Not tired, just troublesome." Her voice was as clear as a mountain spring.
Everyone didn't expect that "Shen Gong" would admit it so directly, and didn't even hide a few more words, and what they didn't expect was that this person was not Shen Gong!
Then why exactly?
But the more terrifying thing was behind, a layer of black mist suddenly appeared around Shen Gong, this kind of powerful aura made people extremely depressing, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their fingertips.
The unstoppable desire to bow and bow is a subconscious reaction that is completely controlled psychologically, and it is also because the strength is completely unequal, which comes from the survival instinct of creatures.
Alarm bells rang in the minds of the man with glasses and the others, echoing these words over and over again - no way to win, no chance of winning...
I don't know if it's the magic weapon red bowl that protects him, or Jingchen himself cultivates the Buddha. He didn't feel uncomfortable because of this suffocating sense of oppression, but he still kept a high degree of vigilance against men, and instantly understood the gap in strength.
He opened his mouth again and asked, "Who are you?"
Si Guo has disappeared without a trace, otherwise he would ask Si Guo this question directly, and the other party will see that it does not belong to the strength that this dungeon should have, and it is more like some kind of bug.
Is this difficulty trying to make him finish playing the game as soon as he enters it?
But he knew that now he couldn't leave easily.
Obviously a few seconds passed, but the seconds felt like years for those present. Suddenly the pressure on the heart was relieved, and the strong aura finally eased a lot.
Shen Gong's expression was devoid of emotion, with an invisible chill - "You don't even know who you are, how can you know me?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his wrist with the palm facing up, and a phantom of a small snake with mixed red and blue scales appeared in the void.
This spell is so fast that it doesn't even need to recite a mantra to make a formula. In a blink of an eye, the little snake sank into the monk's eyebrows in seconds and disappeared without a trace.
Jingchen didn't even have time to react, so he sat down weakly.
Before closing his eyes, he heard other people's panicked voices, as well as the man's magnetic chuckle.
Could it be... is he really going to die?For no reason, Jingchen feels that this kind of death without even struggling is very aggrieved, but...he still has a lot of things to do...
He thought that the end of his life would end here, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a strange environment. His eyes could see, his ears could hear, and he was still alive! !
It just seems to be living in the state of the soul, and the identity has become a bystander.
Others can't see him, can't hear his voice, and even he can't touch anything, only penetrate.
But he knows where he is now. This place is called the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Of course, there is another way of saying it—Xi Tian.
The author says:
small theater:
Peng Yun: "Take off your clothes and make my abs healthy!"
"Shen Gong" - lift clothes.
Peng Yun: Sihasha, bark bark bark...
Jing Chen closed his eyes and said silently: Do not look at evil.
Shortly after--
Jingchen said coldly: Don't press my hand on your stomach, it will make you panic.
Cthulhu: I can't reach the heights of others, but I don't care about your love QAQ
