This Damned Thirst for Survival

Jiang Luo quickly ran back to the deep soil village with the heart of the stolen idol.

Shentu Village has changed its appearance. People in twos and threes can be seen everywhere in the village, but these figures are not people, but paper people wearing human clothes.

The appearance of the paper people and the living people are extremely lifelike, and they can almost be faked. Looking around, the entire Deep Earth Village is full of paper people like this, and there are not many living people.

Jiang Luo ran across the paper men quickly, and the rest of the light swept across them.

The villagers who had a relationship with one side became paper men, including the village head, the parents of the little girl in red, and even two contestants who didn’t know when they were replaced by the paper men. More than two hundred paper people.

After Jiang Luo burned the paper men underground, the paper men on the ground seemed to have lost their vitality and changed back to their original state in an instant. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few dozen living people left in the village of more than 300 people. The sudden arrival shocked the contestants, and they quickly notified the staff.

Jiang Luo hurriedly looked around, ran to the mountain and found Wenrenlian several people.

Except for Kuang Zheng's back landing and had gone to the hospital, the others were still waiting for him beside the entrance of the cave. After counting for an hour, they almost couldn't help jumping into the cave. Fortunately, Jiang Luo came in time, Jiang Luo couldn't explain, "Find a stone with me first and plug this hole."

The group of people carried a huge rock to block the entrance of the cave, Jiang Luo wiped his sweat, raised his eyes, and everyone's eyes gathered on his lap.

"What happened to you?" Ge Zhu pointed to his pants, "Why the pants are torn."

Jiang Luo looked down and saw that half of the trouser legs were left. He simply tore off the other side of the trouser legs and changed the overalls into knee-length shorts. problem occurs."

The group of people did not delay any more, and quickly walked down the mountain.

Below the mountain, the staff and the police have entered the deep soil village.

The paper men in the village looked at Ge Zhu and the others were hairy, "These people...how come they have become paper men?"

Jiang Luo simply told them the reason for the matter.

Zhuo Zhongqiu couldn't help but shudder, "Then those who were chatting with us were all paper people?"

Ge Zhu's face was pale, "The meal we ate... is also the meal made by paper men."

The staff are dealing with the problem of the deep soil village. Their expressions are very serious. This time the event obviously exceeded the expectations of the competition. Even the staff is too busy to manage the remaining contestants and determine the number of remaining contestants. Later, the police and the police began a large-scale search of the deep soil village.

Several people from Jiang Luo also followed up to help, holding a small book to register the list of remaining living people in the deep soil village.

The little girl in red that he and Lu Yi had met was on this list.

There are a total of 311 people in Shentu Village, but only 36 living people were counted. Among them, those beautiful girls who were sacrificed to gods accounted for the vast majority, and the others were all paper men who had been replaced.

The village chief’s son, Wang Qian, is also a living person. When the village chief became a paper man, he was eating with his parents. But while eating, his parents stopped moving his chopsticks. Wang Qian was puzzled. When he looked up from his rice bowl, he saw two red and green paper men looking at him with weird smiles.

Wang Qian's heart froze. He couldn't say anything. He screamed out of instinct and ran out of the house.

When I left the house, the villagers who came and went on the street turned into lifelike paper people.

When Jiang Luo went to count Wang Qian’s information, Wang Qian was already a little confused. He was holding the hot water that the staff had poured him. His lips trembled and his eyes were dull. He kept repeating: "They have become paper people, they Become a paper man..."

The staff member who asked for the news on the side looked uncomfortable. Jiang Luo turned his pen and tapped his chin, "What should I do?"

"Later, please ask Master Chengde to calm down the souls of these people," the staff was worried. "The difficulty of this level has exceeded our expectations."

Jiang Luoxin said, you still don't know that there is a living **** under the ground.

He touched the oval stone heart on his body without a trace.

After separating from Chi You, this stone heart never beats again. But Jiang Luo can be sure that the heartbeat he felt before and the pictures he saw would never be his hallucinations.

Jiang Luo didn't intend to reveal the existence of this heart to anyone, he decided to hide this heart privately.

If this heart really allows him to see Chi You's past, then Jiang Luo can't let go of anything. He wants to know what happened to Chi You, his secrets, and his weaknesses more than anyone else.

This kind of thought is enough to make him take the risk of ignoring this heart.

Later, the judges and teachers also came to the scene. Jiang Luo saw Feng Li in the crowd at a glance, and Feng Li's eyes scanned the crowd. After seeing him, he scanned Jiang Luo up and down, his expression only slowing down.

I have to say that the peace of mind that these judges and teachers brought to the contestants and staff is unmatched by others. After they arrived, the scene gradually calmed down. Soon, the contestants were gathered together, ready to concentrate on answering.

Jiang Luo sorted out his thoughts, and after omitting the part of Chi You's participation, he wrote the experience of Shentu Village on paper.

Shentu Village is located in a remote area. There are locust trees in front of the village, surrounded by hills on both sides. The graves are numerous and barren, which is the so-called place of gathering shade.

There is a deity enshrined here, but the deity has self-consciousness. The deity wants to turn from a dead thing into a living thing, so it bewitches the villagers to come to worship and weave a false dream about longevity for the villagers.

But the idol not only needs the sacrifice of the girl, he also needs the ghost. Under the guidance of the gods, the villagers either hanged or drowned, and the souls that could not be reincarnated became the nourishment for the gods to come back to life.

The ghost figure Jiang Luo saw hanging on the big locust tree in front of the village was also one of the villagers who was coaxed to hang himself by the idol.

Jiang Luo wrote three pages before he wrote all the things.

After the contestants fill in the answers, nothing will happen. Jiang Luo and Wen Renlian squatted next to each other and smoked a cigarette. On the way, they saw the judge teacher of the Chi family come out to find the staff in a rage.

The judges of the Chi family were full of anger. As the image of a respected senior in the circle, the ground was broken with a roar.

Jiang Luo turned around and asked Wen Renlian next to him, "Why is he so angry?"

"In this competition, two contestants became paper men," Wen Ren shook the soot. "One is from He Zhi, and the other is from the Chi family."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "Chi You's sideline?"

Wen Renlian nodded and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen Chi You's side dead."

Jiang Luo didn't expect that it was someone from the Chi family who died. He looked towards the chaotic scene, vaguely, he thought, is Chi You's death related to Chi You?

In the illusion, the words spoken by the young Chi You sounded in his ears: the Chi family was destroyed, the curse disappeared, and the philosophical world was sinking.

The dazzling script of the Great Demon King.

Does he want to be a tyrant in metaphysics?

It didn't take long for the judges teacher of Chi's family to make trouble, and returned to the judges room with a black face.

The other five judges are looking at the answers of the contestants.

Each answer requires six teachers to score one by one. Except for the content of the National Natural Science Competition for College Students, which is different from ordinary competitions, other major differences are inseparable. In order to make the results fair, the six judges and teachers have the same judgment standard. A scoring gap of more than three points.

After seeing the Chi family come in, the Qi family judges teacher took the lead and said: "Brother Zhongye, how about it, did you find the kid in your family?"

Dark clouds were on Chi Zhongye's face, "He is in an accident."

The Qi family judges were surprised: "Something happened?"

Chi Zhongye sat in his seat with a calm face, and the Qi family judge wanted to ask again. Feng Li frowned and tapped his finger on the table twice, "Do business first."

The Qi family judges responded and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhongye, there are many examples of contestants having troubles during the competition. You are uncomfortable, but you are uncomfortable, but don't make trouble now, otherwise it won't look good."

If you can engrave on your face, then Chi Zhongye must have the words "Bullying the soft and fearing the hard" on his head. There is no need to persuade the Qi family judges. After Feng Li finished speaking, he cheered up and forced a smile, "Don't worry, let's show these answers first."

After half an hour, the results of the contestants were calculated.

But what is surprising is that the first place in this class has two people with the same performance.

One is Jiang Luo, and the other is Liao Si, a descendant of the Liao family, a corpse driver in western Hunan.

Zhuo Zhengyu said anxiously: "What should I do?"

"The answers of the two people are clear, clear and organized," Master Chengde groaned. "Send these two students to have a look?"

"Why is it so troublesome," Chi Zhongye interjected, "Isn't this boy named Jiang Luo a disciple of Tianshi Feng? For such a powerful character as the Tianshi, the disciple must be hidden, so let him be the first."

Master Cheng De looked at Feng Li, "What does the heavenly master think?"

Feng Li didn't have any waves on his face. He looked down at the two answers from Jiang Luo and Liao Si on the table, and did some calculations without any traces of his fingers. After the results were good, he said slowly: "Go and call them. come on."

Jiang Luo and Liao Si soon came to the judges' room.

After learning that the scores were the same, Jiang Luo glanced at Liao Si.

He learned the underground secrets of Deep Earth Village because of his personal exploration. He was curious, how did Liao Si know these?

The judges happened to ask this question, and Liao Si smiled slightly, "Every teacher also knows that I am a descendant of the corpse-shovelers in Xiangxi. These clues were discovered by me driving the dead bodies in Shentu Village."

This is indeed a flawless reason.

Liao Si coughed and continued weakly: "I am not in good health. I can only use this method. Luckily, I am lucky to get such good results."

Zhuo Zhengyu felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle, and simply handed the problem to the two of them, "You are now in the same score, but there can only be one person in the first place. Then, what else can you say that is not written on the answer sheet? Do you have any bonus points? As long as you add one more point than the opponent, you win."

Jiang Luo thought for a moment, and Liao Si had already spoken softly: "I found that there were two guardians beside the statue, one is the living dead and the other is a man wearing a fox mask."

Jiang Luo immediately turned his head and looked at Liao Si coldly.

Liao Si noticed his gaze, smiled embarrassedly at Jiang Luo, and said softly: "Jiang Luo, the living dead came to you and Lu Yi, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Luo did not write about the guardianship of the gods in the answer sheet, and the others at Shirakaba University did the same. They did not reveal the existence of the dead ghost in the answer sheet, but Jiang Luo did not expect that Liao Si actually said this sentence here.

"Living dead?" Zhuo Zhengyu frowned and said slightly sternly, "Jiang Luo, is there such a thing?"

Jiang Luo calmly looked at Liao Si, and suddenly laughed slowly.

Liao Si suddenly had a bad feeling.

Jiang Luo's lips twitched, not stained with half a haze, and the infectious power in his smile made others couldn't help but relax, and wanted to laugh with him, "Student Liao Si, what is the living dead?"

He also pursed his lips embarrassedly and smiled, "Sorry, you also know that I used to have a mess of things... I don't like learning very much, and I haven't heard of the word ‘living dead’."

"If the living dead come to me and Lu Yi, why didn't classmate Liao tell me?" He sighed regretfully, the corners of his brows and eyes were pity, "I haven't seen what the living dead look like."

Liao Si's eyebrows twitched.

The atmosphere in the judges' room has undergone a subtle change, and Zhuo Zhengyu's look at Liao Si is a little suspicious.

Liao Siben became curious about Jiang Luo because of Chi You's phrase "Jiang Luo can't do", and wanted to test Jiang Luo. Who knew that the other party hadn't been trapped, he was embarrassed instead.

But Liao Si is not an ordinary person, he said without changing his face, "It should be too late at night, I was wrong."

"No, I believe in the judgment of the descendants of the corpse chaser," Jiang Luoqu said, "Student Liao, when the living dead came to me and Lu Yi, were both Lu Yi and I really there? How about the others, Are they there? Maybe I did not recognize which one is the living dead, but it is impossible and impossible for others to recognize it."

But people at Baihua University certainly wouldn't say that they had seen the living dead. Liao Si wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly coughed into the world.

He coughed, Jiang Luo couldn't help asking him again. He advances and retreats with a degree of authenticity: "Forget it, this is just a small matter. Student Liao, you have to pay attention to your body."

Liao Si said weakly, "Thank you, classmate Jiang, for your concern."

People with poor health will always arouse sympathy from others, but after this experience, the judges who were soft-hearted towards Liao Si also hardened their hearts. Zhuo Zhengyu looked at Jiang Luo, "Jiang Luo, do you have any bonus points that you haven't written yet?"

Jiang Luo thought for a while, "I haven't written two more."

Master Chengde kindly encouraged: "Good boy, what is it?"

Jiang Luo smiled cautiously, "People in the village will become paper people because I burned a piece of paper people forest under the ground. Besides, I also found a female poisonous tail in a pond under the ground. The blood of the scorpion."

Liao Si was taken aback and looked at Jiang Luo in disbelief.

That's the master's thing, how dare he just say it like that!

He also praised Teacher Wei's expression as shocked as he did, so that Liao Si was not exposed. Zhuo Zhengyu took a deep breath and asked, "What? The blood of a female poison-tailed scorpion in a pond?!"

Jiang Luo nodded affirmatively.

The judges and teachers looked at each other, and Master Chengde said warmly: "Okay, you can go out first."

Jiang Luo and Liao Si walked out of the room side by side, and Liao Si smiled bitterly: "Jiang Luo, birds die for food and people die for money. Sorry, I also want Yuan Dzi."

"It doesn't matter," Jiang Luo smiled instead, his attitude looked no different from before, "I understand."

Ten minutes later, the results came out. Jiang Luo was unsurprisingly ranked first. Amid the congratulations, a group of people got on the car, and after four hours of turbulence, they finally settled down in a simple hotel in the small town.

At this time, the sky was already dim, and the night was about to cover. There was no air conditioner in the hotel, and Jiang Luo was sweating all over. He took a good bath while there was hot water, and thoroughly washed all the dust from the previous two days. After he came out of the bathroom, Feng Li sent someone to call him.

Jiang Luo put on a piece of clothes casually, and went to Feng Li wrapped in moisture.

Knock on the door, Feng Li's cold voice sounded: "In."

Jiang Luo opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he felt a chill rushing toward his face, which was more comfortable and colder than the air conditioner. Jiang Luo squinted his eyes comfortably, and after inspecting the house, he saw a white porcelain bowl lying upside down in the corner.

A horizontal chopstick is placed at the bottom of the white porcelain bowl. At the junction of the bowl mouth and the ground, white mist and cold air overflow from it, like a block of ice that keeps dropping heat.

Since coming to this world, Jiang Luo has been surprised by such unscientific methods, but at this moment he still finds it strange to see it. Feng Li saw his eyes and said lightly: "Your room is hot?"

Jiang Luo nodded, "It's not only hot, but also dry and dry."

"One will ask your senior to help you get a bowl of ice water in the room," Feng Li said, "come over, sit down and say."

Jiang Luo sat at the desk, Feng Li was about to speak, but saw his dripping wet hair, frowned and said, "Why doesn't the hair dry?"

"I'm here to see you before I have time," Jiang Luo didn't care, "dry it out for a while."

Feng Li didn't like it. He got up and found a dry towel and put it on Jiang Luo's head. Jiang Luo pulled the towel to his shoulders and looked sideways. Feng Li still stood beside him and didn't leave.

Jiang Luo was surprised: "Master?"

Feng Li no longer cared about his wet hair, stretched out his slender hand and leaned towards Jiang Luo's collar.

A finger gently pulled down the collar, and the black-haired young man's collarbone was exposed. Feng Li looked down, "The life-saving talisman is actually not used."

Hearing this, Jiang Luo moved the black hair on his shoulder to the other side so that Feng Li could study the life-saving talisman on his body. "Although it is dangerous, it can be considered safe and not to the point where it is critical."

Feng Li let go and returned to his seat thoughtfully.

Jiang Luo yawned, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Feng Li recovered, took out a box from the drawer and placed it in front of Jiang Luo, "This is the prize of the competition, Yuan Dzi."

Jiang Luo didn't feel sleepy immediately. He took the box in his hand and opened it. There was a transparent bead in the middle of the box, faintly exuding a breath of ice.

This familiar feeling is exactly the same as the Yuan Dzi Bead in the hands of the owner of the funeral shop.

Jiang Luo held the bead in his hand, and the tentacles felt like touching a block of ice. The texture is as delicate as jade, under the silvery white light, it seems to dissipate in the air at any time.

Jiang Luo stared at this bead intently, and some liked the color, "Master, what exactly is Yuan Tianzhu?"

Feng Li said, "I'll talk to you again when I go back."

Jiang Luo returned to God, put the Yuan Tianzhu back into the box, and smiled at Feng Li, "Okay."

Looking at the fatigue on his face, Feng Li said, "Okay, go back."

Jiang Luo got up to say goodbye. When the door was about to close, he looked up from the crack in the door. Feng Li sat in the desk, the whole person in the shadow.

His eyes are deep, and the Tang suit, nose bridge, and side face are slightly darkened, like a statue made of plaster, motionless and let the dust of time engulf.

There is an essential solitude and coldness from the soul level leaked from him.

For a moment, Jiang Luo felt that it was not Feng Li, but Chi You sitting there.

With a "click", the door was closed.

Jiang Luo stood there for a moment, turned around slowly, and walked towards his room.

After a few steps, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

he thinks.

In the original book, why did Feng Li help Chi You practice revenge?

If Chi You’s biggest goal is to sink the world of Xuan Xue, how can Feng Li, as the new celestial master, help him?

unless.

Feng Li also became Chi You's puppet.

Or Chi You's new body.

With such a big guess, Jiang Luo thought he would feel chills in his heart, and tossing about. But he should eat, sleep, and sleep. When he could visit the hospital the next day, he went to see Lu Yi with his companions.

Lu Yi was fine, but he was still put in the hospital for a day. One day passed, and another hero was alive and well.

Jiang Luo joked, "Lu Yi, you have a good recovery ability."

Lu has one: "How can it be better than a dead ghost."

As soon as the words came out, he looked around, cautiously approached Jiang Luo and asked, "Jiang Luo, have the dead ghosts been rescued?"

Jiang Luo said: "His name is Teng Bi now."

When Lu Yi heard this, he understood what it meant. To be kind to them, it is the dead ghost who treats them as friends, not the living dead Tengbi. But now that the dead ghost became Tengbi, he was naturally not their friend.

Lu Yi went all the way down, until he packed his luggage and got on the plane, he slowly came over, and he sighed a long time, "I have no chance."

Jiang Luo went to sleep with his eyes closed, "Okay, go to sleep."

In a remote deep soil village.

In the deserted mountains, a huge boulder trembles suddenly, and after two seconds of stillness, the boulder trembles violently again.

With a loud bang, the boulder was finally shaken to the ground, exposing a blocked black hole.

A man wrapped in shabby cloth and covered in dust and dirt crawled out of the hole.

Holding a big knife in his hand, he climbed onto the ground and looked to the left and right with a little bewilderment.

"friend…"

But his nose can no longer smell any strangers.
