I took a breath, took a sip of water, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Lu and Yunwen wanted to look at each other, their expressions were a little weird, Bai Lu said: "Brother Zhou Bo, when we went to fetch water from the river this afternoon, we found a strange thing, you can take a look after you rest for a while ?"

"Found it in the river, or on the bank?" I asked.

"When we found out, the water was turbulent, and there seemed to be living things. Sister Bailu and I were thinking of your orders, and we hid when we encountered danger. We hurried away with the wooden bucket. Who knew that one would come up from the bottom of the water. A weird thing that we can never imagine, we brought it back later, and now it is placed in the backyard of this house, waiting for you to come back." Yunwen said.

"Since this thing is so weird, why did you bring it back?" I asked.

"It can speak human language, maybe it knows the whereabouts of Yingchun, and it may help you find Yingchun girl, so..." Bai Lu said with a sigh.

I remember last night when I fought fiercely with the red-eyed monster, it released corpse maggots, and when I was in emergency, I jumped into the river to avoid being drilled into my body by corpse maggots, and then when I was about to float to the shore, I heard something underwater I felt very strange about the abnormal movement. Now that I heard Bai Lu and Yunwen talk about this strange thing floating on the bottom of the water, I wonder if it is the same thing. If so, it can still talk about human beings. , what is the origin?

This made me even more curious.

So I put down the package and put the things back together. I followed the two of them to the backyard to check this so-called weird thing. I thought that the two girls could carry this thing back. It must not be too heavy, and it can be allowed to be Bringing it back, it means that it will not hurt people easily. I have thought about many answers, wondering if it is some kind of ape, but I think that the apes do not know water, and if they fall into the river, it will be deep enough to drown. Other answers were ruled out.

In the end, I shamelessly wondered if it could be the legendary mermaid, and fantasized about the other party's appearance, as well as her pretty figure and face, etc., and I actually felt that the more I thought about it, the more real it became, and there would be mountains that would appear at the same time all year round. , isn't there a beautiful mermaid girl?

Until I opened the door of the backyard and walked out, but there was no sign of the mermaid at all. My fantasy suddenly broke down. I checked again and finally saw the so-called weird thing. What was it? It was just a piece of rotten wood The wooden man made up, but this wooden man looks more upscale when assembled, the face is more finely carved, and the body also has a lot of joints made of logs.

From a distance, it looks like a human being, regardless of body shape or expression, but a wooden figure is a wooden figure, no matter how carefully carved, it looks like a human, it is still a pile of rotten wood rather than a human being, even because it has been floating in the water for a long time. Yes, many parts have been soaked.

"Is it the weird thing you're talking about?" I asked disappointedly.

"Zhou Bo, don't you think it's weird? It looks like a human being but not a human, it looks like wood but not wood, and it can speak human language. It looks more magical than Pinocchio." Yunwen said.

But at this moment, the wooden man struggled to support his soaked body, opened and closed his mouth mechanically, and said in a weak voice, as if he was short of electricity: "I am He Kui, the pioneer of Milongying, and you are waiting." Who is it?"

"Milongying? Are you Li Mufeng's subordinate?" I asked hastily.

The wooden man mechanically moved his body a few times, and then said word by word: "Li Zun's name is taboo, and you and other lowly people can call it at will? Come, ah, take it down... oh, all of them will die It's just me."

I didn’t expect to hear the ancients speak in my lifetime. Although the ancients have already become a pile of rotten wood, it’s no problem to communicate with him. I happen to have a bunch of questions I want to ask him, but I have seized the opportunity. After thinking about it, this is the most important thing Nothing is worse than the fact that the deputy envoy Wang Gang set up the wooden man in the abyss, this matter has troubled me for a long time, now Milongying personally answers it, wouldn't it be better?

However, since ancient times, the status has been clearly defined, and people are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. Listening to his tone, if I ask in such a normal way, I will definitely be called a pariah again, and I don’t have enough qualifications. Therefore, I have to find a way to solve this first. And if there is a pair of directions, the method will be there immediately.

I pulled off the coat, took out the Milong Yazhang from the inner clothes, and held it in my hand to let it see. The wooden man named He Kui immediately sat up. The expression imprinted on it cannot be changed, but that The movable wooden hands were moving tremblingly, and it lightly touched the jaw with its distal fingers, and stood there for a long time.

"This matter is complicated, but to put it simply, Senior Li Mufeng passed on this Yazhang to me, and asked me to take over the duties of envoy Milong Zun." I said.

He already looked exhausted, but now he was trembling so badly that I was worried that he would fall apart at any time.

However, at this moment, he stood up tremblingly, and knelt down on one knee with all his strength, made a loud noise, raised his thumbs in both hands and crossed them in front of his chest, lowered his head, and said in a choked and trembling voice: " My subordinate, He Kui, see Master Milongzun Envoy! How offensive, those who don’t know are not guilty, I hope you will forgive me.”

After hundreds of years, this etiquette has not changed. Even though Milongying has long disappeared, disappeared in the long river of history, and it is difficult to find traces of it even in wild history, but this pioneer of Milongying is still Don't forget about your job, don't forget about this fundamental, and act according to what you do. This scene really moved people to tears.

"The 21st century is no longer suitable for people to kneel down. Get up quickly. You and I are both members of the military camp. Just pay each other a military salute." After I finished speaking, I also gave him a military salute, not to take advantage of him. .

He didn't move, so I had no choice but to say, "Get up."

He propped up his wooden body and said: "Your Majesty, your life is not long, and the heart here is already weak. I'm afraid it won't be able to support a stick of incense. If you have anything you need to know, please ask quickly , so as not to delay."

"Okay, He Kui, I would like to ask you about what happened after you arrived in Xiying City, and why the deputy envoy named Wang Gang set up a mechanism under the post tunnel. Is taking refuge in this city intended to harm us? What is its intention? In addition, it is said that a method to undo the miasma below the abyss has been found here, what is it?" I asked.

He Kui's wooden body rattled and rattled. I'm afraid it was as it said, and it couldn't hold it for a long time. It said: "I report to the envoy, as my lord expected, the deputy envoy Wang Gang has bad intentions, and his purpose is to lure future generations. Come to this city. When it comes to the solution to the miasma, it is a method of sacrifice to the living... Hehehe..."

It's over, this guy is about to run out of battery!

I hurriedly asked, "How can I keep you alive? Is CPR okay?"

He shook his own wood and said: "My lord, the anger has dissipated, and the time of death is approaching. If a fish is out of water, how can it survive?"

"What do you mean, that you can survive by throwing you back into the water?" I asked.

He shook his log again and said, "It's useless, cluck."

"Okay, the last question! Why does the action of the wooden man in the abyss differ from what he said? The direction it points to is the real antidote. And have you ever seen a girl come alone?" I asked .

"The action is changed by the subordinate..."

After finishing speaking, the wooden man lowered his arms, his whole body relaxed, and reduced to a pile of really useless rotten wood, the kind that can’t even be used to burn fire. I regretted it for a long time, but I just wondered why he could rely on the wooden man’s body to live until the end of his life. Now, but he died again without saying a word, what does it mean that "the anger has dissipated, and the time of death is coming"?

Why is this guy also the senior of me and Yunwen, I planned to bury him, but at this moment Bai Lu pushed me away and asked excitedly: "Don't bury it! It hasn't said where Yingchun is yet!"

As she spoke, she looked at me sharply, as if accusing me of why I asked the question about Yingchun last.
