I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 249

Dong Zheng put the rest of the talisman into his pocket, he looked at the distance where Ren Heming's figure disappeared, got on his horse, and headed in the opposite direction.

He didn't believe in Heming.

In fact, Dong Zheng had a vague doubt, and the doubt floated in his mind, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He only knew that everything he experienced now revealed an unfathomable weirdness.

Yes, weird.

He returned the same way, arrived at the place where Ren Heming first fell into the water, led the horse and carefully crossed to the other side of the river bank, and continued along the path.

Ren Heming is gone, and Dong Zheng doesn't know what he is going to do now, hunt down evil spirits?He is not the real Jinyiwei of the Maoshan School, and he will definitely not go to die.

All in all, first look around for clues that can be pieced together.

Not in a hurry anymore, Dong Zheng sat on the horse and walked slowly. The woods on both sides gradually became dense, and the sun was getting closer to the western horizon.About an hour later, Dong Zheng was a little tired and drowsy, and suddenly heard someone talking in front of him.

He immediately reined in his horse and turned over to the ground. Dong Zheng quietly approached the direction of the sound. He lifted the grass leaves and branches covering his eyes, and saw a pair of villagers walking down the mountain not far away.

They all seemed to be big cannibals, speaking words that Dong Zheng could not understand, their backpacks were empty, their expressions were dignified and they walked in a hurry.

Dong Zheng frowned. This group of people should be the villagers who went to sacrifice the little girl as the merchant said.

It now appears that the girl was left on the mountain with other sacrifices.

Something fell from the pannier behind the villager at the end of the line, but he didn't notice it.

Dong Zheng didn't rush to follow. He waited until the group of people walked out of his sight and the voice gradually faded away. Then he touched the place where they had passed before and found the thing that fell from the back basket.

It was a small statue more than ten centimeters high. It was made of stone. I don’t know if it was originally carved scribbled, or the details were often smoothed out by people holding it in their hands. It can only be roughly seen that it is a standing person with arms folded. On the chest, like a prayer.

Dong Zheng put away the statue, he returned to the horse and continued on his way.

It was getting dark and we had to find a place to spend the night.

The clouds seemed to be burning under the setting sun in the sky. Dong Zheng led the horse and stopped vigilantly when he realized that the fog was quietly rising.

Not right.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong, the quiet woods with only the sound of wind?Or the constant anxious snort of the horse?

Or rather...

from behind? !

The moment Dong Zheng realized something was wrong, he turned around suddenly, swung his knife and slashed in front of him, but only cut the air.In the next moment, unprecedented coldness swept his whole body, and an evil coolness burst out from the bottom of his heart, almost freezing his whole body.

He lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, the light from Huozhezi made Dong Zheng squint his eyes, he tilted his head slightly, and Ren Heming, who was washed away by the stream, was beside him, Senior Brother Mao Shan was sitting there against the wall, with his head lowered, with a deep expression on his face know what to think.

"Brother?" Dong Zheng called out to him, and found that his voice was extremely hoarse.

Ren Heming looked down at him, put his hand on Dong Zheng's forehead to test the temperature, he withdrew his hand after making sure it wasn't burning, and explained: "You have been penetrated by evil spirits, I found you on the way, cast a spell to drive away the evil spirits, and brought you Here, at least it’s a bit more secure than spending the night outside.”

Dong Zheng propped himself up and sat up. He felt that Ren Heming was different from before. Both his expression and tone of speech became much calmer.

It was as calm as... having resigned to fate.

"Brother, how are you?" Dong Zheng asked, "I couldn't catch up with you at that time."

"It's not bad. While you were still awake, I explored here and found something interesting." Ren Heming stood up and signaled Dong Zheng to come with him.

At the end of the passage made of bluestone slabs, there is a stone door with strange patterns carved on it.

Dong Zhenglai was in front of the door, and the fire folds illuminated the relief—it was a scene of offering sacrifices, a group of people bowed their heads to worship, and children were placed on a high platform. The rest of the place was filled with various strange lines, which may represent the local The devil in people's mind.

Ren Heming: "Do you want to take a look?"

After all, he didn't respond directly to Dong Zheng, he stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door in front of him.

The door was lighter than Dong Zheng imagined, and it was opened by Ren Heming under his helpless gaze, and the huge underground cave inside the door was illuminated by an unknown light.

Ren Heming pushed him in, followed closely by himself.

At this time, Dong Zheng may finally know where the lingering anxiety comes from.

He turned around, stared at Ren Heming who said "it's finally over", and asked in a deep voice:
