Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

The thing was dripping with lava-like blood, and the blood dripped onto the ground, scorching patches of charred black on the floor.

It was like an uninspired thing, after hearing Jiang Chen's words, it was silent for a long time, its hot and broken face was close, and it sniffed carefully up and down a millimeter in front of Jiang Chen.

In the silent night, Mr. Commander stared at the things in front of him without changing his expression, "Say it again, get out."

The thing sniffed in front of him for a long time, then slowly tilted its head, looking past him at Qianwu.

Jiang Chen handed Beelzebub's sign in front of it.

They stalemate for a few minutes, Qianwu calmly held Jiang Chen's wooden sword with his backhand.

But the monster suddenly said hoarsely: "Why are you so cool?"

With hoarse panting continuously in his throat, he bypassed Jiang Chen, stepped into the room, and stood in front of Qianwu.

Then, he bent down and sniffed carefully, and said in Qianwu's ear: "You haven't tasted the taste of mountain fire, have you? I really want to taste you. Although I can't eat it, my heart is itchy. You let me lick it." Take a bite."

As soon as the sound fell, Qianwu suddenly felt a flash of fire in front of him, like a cluster of sparks dancing in the air from the flames, the saber in Jiang Chen's hand slashed down smoothly along the top of the thing's head. He wiped the neck outward with his backhand, and he cut the thing's head from the middle.

The great horror turned into silence in the middle of the night.

Then, the half of the flame that was supposed to roll down went back smoothly. The thing looked back at Jiang Chen without any emotion in his eyes.

No matter how resolute and sharp the blade is, it can cut through the gap between humans and ghosts.

Just after Qianwu calculated a route to escape with Jiang Chen in his heart, the thing suddenly turned around and dragged its heavy body towards the window.

"An inedible person." It muttered, and it pushed open the wooden window that had already been opened, and jumped out of the opened window.

He muttered in his mouth: "I'm so hot, why didn't Lord Shenming help us..."

In such a terrifying late night, Qianwu suddenly felt sad, and subconsciously took two steps forward to look out, and was horrified to find these lava ghosts all over the mountains and plains.They run and jump quickly in the mountains and forests under the moon, except for the lonely one in front of them, most of them have half broken bodies in their mouths.They ran and drank blood, raised their heads and let out an unknown and cheerful cry.

Qian Wu seemed to be in a trance, until with a bang, the wooden window closed in front of him, blocking his sight.

Jiang Chen squatted down and pressed the slide rail with his hand, frowned and muttered: "This evil spirit destroys wherever he goes, this door is not closed tightly, and there will be small mosquitoes flying in to bite you in the middle of the night."

Qian Wu was stunned for five seconds.

Then he slowly lowered his head to look at the man who was half kneeling on the ground repairing the door, and called out to him, "Hello—"

Jiang Chen raised his head and replied angrily: "What are you doing?"

Qian Wu sighed softly, "Aren't you afraid? Young commander, you are so calm, you still care about the windows?"

"It's all gone." Jiang Chen stubbornly tilted the deformed sliding rail with the handle of the saber, pushed the loosely closed sliding window a little bit deeper, and whispered, "You're scared ? Can you still fall asleep?"

Qianwu was silent in the silent night.

After witnessing his depression and insomnia, making sure he can sleep seems to be the number one priority in Jiang Shaoshuai's life.

Ghosts are not as terrible as his insomnia.

"The red candle can be used for so long, and the brand of Beelzebub will definitely come in handy. As long as it is a man-eating Fazong, we have a great chance of winning. I am not calm, I have already made a plan." Jiang Chen got up while talking, walked to the table and poured a cup of warm herbal tea to Qianwu, "Suppressed."

The room was still hot and dry, and Qianwu felt sweat all over his body, but he didn't feel bored anymore.

He and Jiang Chen sat foot-to-foot next to the small table. Jiang Chen took out Tang Jianzhu and put it on, and said softly in the candlelight, "It seems that our brains are narrow-minded. The trigger is not cold tea, but greed for cold. Fire All beings on the mountain suffer, and those who steal the cool are the targets of the dead souls."

Qianwu drank the warm herbal tea and was lost in thought.

The red candle is not peaceful tonight, the candle flame is crackling and exploding non-stop.Jiang Chen hated noise since he was a child, so he gently touched the candle wick with the blade.

"Those evil spirits seem to be wronged." Qianwu watched his movements and said softly.

Jiang Chen looked back calmly, and Qianwu said again, "The appearance of the God of Liangyu suppressed the mountain fire back then and protected the peace of the whole town, but he was unable to restore the people who had been swallowed by the mountain fire. These resentments gathered into souls of the dead. When the gods are still alive, they dare not come out to cause trouble, but when the Liangyu gods are gone, they will come out to vent their dissatisfaction."

"The people in the town look simple, but they are actually very vicious. They know that they have to die a few people every night to appease the evil spirits, but they don't stop them from watching the tourists drinking freely." Jiang Chen calmly raised his hand to extinguish the restless red candle, Said: "We have to find a way to find out why Liang Yushen left."

"Why did you leave?" Qianwu looked at him in the dark in a daze.

But Jiang Chen said, "I'll think of a way tomorrow, sleep first."

"..."

Only three or two hours later in the night, Qianwu lay down on the ground in the sweltering heat.Jiang Chen took the fan again and gently fanned his cheeks. The frequency of the warm wind was steady, and he was really sleepy after a few blows.

After being in the nerve for a long time, it seems to be an instinct to ignore the crisis. No matter how scary the night is, they can still face each other and fall asleep peacefully after whispering a few words.

Before falling asleep again, he noticed that Jiang Chen silently put down his fan, and gently placed a small wooden card in his palm.

This night, both of them actually overslept.

When he was woken up, Qian Wu's face was full of bewilderment, Jiang Chen got up two seconds later than him, and sat there for a long time.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chen was called back to his senses by the noise again, and asked with a frown.

The noise came from the other end of the corridor. It seemed that some players were frantically arguing, roaring, and crying, all mixed together.

They opened the door and went out. The narrow corridor was full of people. Brother Chen was holding the collar of Liuliu's kimono, pushing the little girl against the wall, holding a sharpened bamboo pole in one hand and sticking it next to her cheek. in the wall.

"Hand over Sissi! Hand over Sissy!!" His eyes were tearing apart, and tears rolled down from his scarlet eyes.

Liuliu coughed violently, and struggled: "Who is Sissy, what are you doing! Let go—you stinky man is unreasonable—"

"What's going on." Jiang Chen grabbed Brother Chen's wrist with his hands, the young commander looked indifferent, but the opponent's hard fist suddenly let go, and he unconsciously twitched in his hand to vent his strength.

Liuliu fell to the ground all of a sudden, with plain white hands covering his neck with red scars, coughing non-stop.

"This is a witch, you all know it well, why are you helping her!" The man slumped to the ground with his hands in his hair, "Sissy is gone—last night, last night I heard her say she was going out in my sleep When I went to the bathroom, I turned over and continued to sleep, but I didn’t see her after getting up in the morning, maybe she didn’t come back last night..."

The man cried like a handful of sand in his throat, and beat his head hard, "Why didn't I accompany her! Damn me!"

"What did you eat last night?" Qianwu asked, "Have you had tea?"

"No!" The man stared at Liuliu viciously after hearing the words, "Who dares to drink the tea made by this witch?"

Before Liuliu could catch his breath, he was scolded by him as a witch, and almost rolled his eyes in anger. He tried his best to maintain his ladylike self-cultivation and didn't swear on the spot——

Two seconds later, she couldn't bear it anymore and became furious.

"I have told you many times, and I have told every soup room! Don't be greedy for cold, don't be greedy for cold, don't be greedy for cold!! I also told you about the herbal tea the night before, only drink one cup, and you are all greedy. You want to say that I am a witch?! Are you human beings so ruthless and ignorant?!!"

There was a sudden silence in the corridor.

The crazy girl paused, stood up silently, and straightened her dress.

"Did you leak your words?" She angrily kicked the scattered tea bowls on the floor, smashed the pots and said, "Love whoever you want! I won't serve Tao Niang anymore!"

She pushed aside the crowded crowd and rushed out madly. While rushing, she reached out and quickly adjusted her messy hair, and disappeared in the corridor after a while.

Qian Wu looked at the man on the ground who seemed to have lost his soul, and asked, "Aside from cold tea, what cold food did she eat yesterday?"

"Cold food?" Qu Ying was stunned, "If you count all the cold food, she did not eat less. There are many vendors selling iced melons and fruits along the way, and she eats a bowl almost every time she passes by, and she eats it all day long. , there are seven or eight bowls of pickled melon and preserved fruit.”

Jiang Chen asked, "Is she the only one who ate it?"

"Yeah." Qu Ying glanced at the man sitting on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Everyone has no money, only she is willing to beg for it from the vendor, and the food she begged naturally has no one else's share."

The man on the ground moved when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he buried his face in his palm and wept hoarsely.

The players didn't know how to comfort them. After walking through their nerves for so long, and having just experienced the massacre, the death of people around them seemed to be commonplace.

They patted Brother Chen on the shoulder one by one, and then went back to their rooms.Qian Wu and Jiang Chen stayed until the end, Jiang Chen looked at him and said, "The trigger is not herbal tea, but greed for cold tea. Qian Wu also attracted evil spirits yesterday, this matter has nothing to do with that little girl."

The man raised his head all of a sudden, staring at Qianwu with scarlet eyes, "Then why are you alright?"

Jiang Chen said, "We have hole cards, which are gifts from the boss in the previous dungeon. All the ghosts of the cannibal sect have no effect on us."

The man was stunned when he heard the words, his lips trembling slightly, and he said after a long time, "You are all talented."

Qian Wu didn't speak, Jiang Chen was also silent, the man struggled for a long time to stand up slowly from the ground, took out a lucky bag from his pocket, after fumbling for a long time, found a small hairpin of a woman.

He didn't speak, as if his soul had withdrawn, he walked out of the wooden villa holding the hairpin.

Qianwu watched him go, and the figure from his back disappeared into the mountains. He didn't know when he would want to drive back, and he didn't know if he would come back.

Every time he witnesses death in his nerves, it seems that there will not be too much turmoil in his heart.The artist's heart is fragile but tenacious, and he looks at life and death differently from others.But whenever he sees parting, whether it is blood relatives or lovers, he will feel the pain on his skin.

Jiang Chen pulled his hand, "Don't think about it."

He took a step in front of him, covering his sight, "There are more than one pair of poor people, but this is a good opportunity, don't waste it."

Qianwu looked away and hummed.

The girl's muttering curses could be heard through the door.

Qianwu had never heard such dense soliloquy before, the hand knocking on the door hesitated for a long time before landing on the door.

The sound of cursing inside Tuk Tuk stopped, and the sound of small footsteps came to the door, and then the wooden door was pulled open.

"Dry--"

Liuliu almost flicked his tongue, swallowed the second half of the sentence with a thud, lowered his head to contemplate for a while, then raised his head and laughed again.

"Why did your lord come to see me?" She asked with a smile.

Qianwu missed her and glanced at the room, there were three neat rows of peaches on the coffee table, obviously they were used as trash cans for bad things just now.

"We want to ask God Liangyu about it."

Jiang Chen didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and he sent an admiring look.

Liuliu was stunned, the thoughts in his clear eyes seemed to fade away in an instant, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Liang Yushen?" She lowered her voice and asked blankly, "Where did you hear my lord's name?"

"This land was originally just a purgatory on earth that was not favored by the heavens. It has become a treasure land of geomantic omen because of the birth of adults. Although adults are wild gods made by people's wishes, they are the most beautiful and stalwart gods in the world." The girl sat cross-legged In front of all the peaches, they patted their heads one by one, and said in a low voice: "He is like a piece of cool jade. When he smiles, he can extinguish the fire in the mountains. He stands elegant and majestic on the incense table, and occasionally slips out of the temple like a An innocent child is the best, gentlest and most beautiful god in the world."

Qianwu reminded softly, "Wipe off the drool."

"Ah." Liu Liu blushed like a peach, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, "I'm sorry, my lord is really too beautiful. The coolness on my lord's chest is the ultimate enjoyment in the world, it keeps me awake at night. "

"..."

Qianwu cleared his throat in embarrassment.

But Jiang Chen suddenly said: "It turns out that you are a sensual peach, you just met someone you love and someone you really like."

"You fart!" Liuliu slapped the table angrily.

Qian Wu, who was about to drink tea, was startled by her and coughed, so she had to clear her throat again, "Don't talk nonsense! You are Setao."

"Why did God Liangyu leave?" Qianwu asked.

Liuliu withdrew his glare, and snorted mockingly, "Human beings are greedy and ungrateful things. After a long time of peace, they can't remember the kindness of the gods, and start thinking about offering to the god of wealth. The incense burns intermittently, and the gods are getting weaker and weaker. , and then one day, Lord Shenming disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Qianwu was slightly stunned, "The idol was smashed?"

"No." Liuliu shook his head vigorously, "then they don't dare, but the wild gods eat offerings, and the offerings are not enough to eat, so what's the use of just paying attention to the statues? Now they are getting scared by the evil spirits, but they don't ask for more. Don’t go back to my lord.”

Hearing this, Qianwu was slightly dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.Jiang Chen looked at him for a while, then turned around and asked, "How long has Liang Yushen been gone?"

"Four, five, six, seven, eighty, 90 years." Liuliu ravaged the peaches on the table boredly, "Humanity's broken almanac, bah, who can figure it out."

"Shen Liangyu has been walking for so long, the mountain fire has not erupted again, but the evil spirits have repeated?" Jiang Chen frowned and said: "It doesn't sound reasonable, the mountain fire is the arrangement of the creation, and the evil spirits are nothing more than the souls of premature death. If Even the evil spirits have been awakened, why hasn't the mountain fire erupted?"

"I don't know where to go." Liuliu continued to rub the peach, "I just want to stay here to guard the place where the lord has appeared. I have transformed, and I can wait until the end of time, and the lord will appear again one day."

It seemed that Qian Wu, who had been sneaking away for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses.

He asked, "Maybe we can help you think of a way, what does God Liangyu look like?"

"Very handsome." Liuliu Xiatao replied seriously.

The girl's eyes were very pious, she stared at Qianwu, and said gently, "You have clear eyebrows, and a smile like a spring breeze, maybe you are a bit prettier than you, my lord."

Qianwu casually took out a pen and paper from the lucky bag and pushed it over, "I'll see if you draw it."

Jiang Chen frowned and was about to question, but Liuliu had already picked it up and said, "Okay."

Liuliu has been painting for a long time, from early morning to dusk, the sun rises and slowly sets until evening.

Qianwu was tired of waiting, and leaned against her window to watch Zhong Liye and the others go to the town to investigate. He squinted for a while, and Jiang Chen also gradually became calm from being impatient at the beginning. Maintain his saber.

"Here, all right!"

Liuliu came back to them suddenly, startling them both.

Two seconds later, Qianwu stared at the sketchbook in front of him and opened his eyes wide in bewilderment.

Jiang Chen pushed aside the notebook and came over to read it together, but also fell silent.

Holding the drawing book, Liuliu looked down at them and raised his eyebrows, "Are you handsome? Are you ashamed of yourself?"

Qian Wu pondered for a moment, then slowly turned the drawing book in her hand up and down, looked at it for a while, and frowned again.

Jiang Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Should we look horizontally or vertically? Why are there no human figures anyway?"

"You're talking about this cool jade god." Qianwu paused, "Is the transformation form a human form? Or... his god body is an irregular piece of jade?"

Liu Liu seemed to be stupefied by their words, and screamed: "Don't say anything that harms your dignity! You are going too far!"

"Why is it not in human form? It looks quite similar to you! Otherwise, why is Ben Tao Niang treating you so well!!" She excitedly stretched out her shiny nails and pointed at the strange-shaped head, "This is the head of an adult, handsome! Five senses, look!"

"..."

Jiang Chen was indifferent and silent for several minutes, and turned his head to look at Qianwu.

An unprecedented confusion appeared on the face of the artist himself.

"I really can't agree with you saying that this thing looks like me." Qianwu stretched out his hand and reluctantly pointed to the place identified as "five sense organs", "No, I can't agree with you saying that this thing looks like anyone."

"I don't know how to appreciate!!" Liuliu hid the picture book behind his back cursingly, and said angrily, "Then you go to the shops in the town, and you can buy a portrait of the god if you just ask! Smelly human beings , go away go away!"

The girl's anger scares others.

Qianwu and Jiang Chen were pushed out vigorously, if Jiang Chen hadn't pulled Qianwu, Qianwu would have knocked his nose against the door frame.

The wooden door was slammed into the frame behind him, making a deafening sound.

"The temper is too big, this woman is really scary." Jiang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Qian Wu, "Are you okay?"

Qian Wu rubbed his ears, "It's hard to say."

I don't know if it's the ears that hurt the most or the eyes that hurt the most.

"She downloaded your painting book." Jiang Chen couldn't help reminding, "Is there still a picture of me in it?"

Qianwu raised his eyebrows, "Ah."

The two turned their heads at the same time, but after hearing the high-density cursing in the room, they gave up the idea of ​​entering the peach cave at the same time.

The sky darkened again.

Qian Wu, who had seen the evil spirits before, filled a large bottle of herbal tea and prepared to go to town with Jiang Chen to find the portrait of Liang Yushen.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the wooden villa, before walking a few steps up the mountain, he saw a bright torch in the distance.

The aborigines of Tangquan Town mobilized collectively and knelt down on the mountainside facing the empty forest.

The torches scorched the scorching forest even hotter. Those dark tree shadows were like silent ghosts. Hundreds of villagers knelt on the sandy soil and kowtowed to the depths of the forest.

"Master Liang Yushen!" They cried out, "Listen to our prayer!"

"If your lord is willing to come back, please come back! We will continue to worship forever!"

"If you don't want to come back, please leave cleanly! Don't leave any breath in Tangquan Town!"

"We can't stand the evil spirits anymore, please save us! Forgive us!"

"My lord, please show me your spirit!"

Qian Wu and Jiang Chen froze on the spot for a long time before Qian Wu whispered: "What are they doing?"

Footsteps came from behind, and the three of Zhong Liye and the others followed, standing by the side and looking up at the mountain together.

"Although only one person died here last night, countless people died in the town." Qu Ying said softly: "We went into the town during the day to inquire, not only did the number of tourists drop sharply, but the aborigines also had a white card on every household. We only found out after careful inquiry. Well, a total of 200 people disappeared overnight last night. The evil spirits have been in trouble for so many years, only occasionally devouring one or two tourists, and less than a hundred people a year, which is enough to whitewash the peace with legends. But what happened last night, it was like an outbreak same."

Qian Wu was dumbfounded, suddenly recalled the evil ghost running all over the mountains and fields in his mind last night, and felt chills from head to toe.

After a long time, he was a little puzzled and said: "But what are they asking for? What do you mean, go back if you want to go, and leave cleanly if you want to go?"

Zhong Liye looked back at the wooden villa subconsciously, and said in a low voice, "We heard a legend today. In the era of purgatory in the mountains, there were no evil spirits. Instead, after the Liangyu God, the living people in the town gained Peace, but the dead people feel wronged and resentful, so they became evil spirits. When Liangyu was there, he could calm down the evil spirits with aura, and if he left completely, the evil spirits would not come out again. The townspeople believed that the evil spirits came out and ran amok , because although Liangyu left, she left a trace or two of aura in the town, and this aura attracts evil spirits to emerge endlessly, making people miserable."

"Who did you find out about?" Jiang Chen asked.

Zhong Liye looked back at the wooden villa again, paused for a moment at the door of Liuliu's room, and said in a low voice, "An old peach farmer."

The author has something to say: Little Nerve scratched the floor curiously.

Can you draw nerves?It asked, and rewarded ten points for the painting.
