Wei Zi didn't dare to take out the cloth bag in front of the three robbers. He was afraid that the black tower would see the pearl and snatch it away again. The Black Tower had already snatched his stone.
He could only endure it quietly until the three robbers left the house. He quickly took out the cloth bag from his pocket and opened it. He was instantly dumbfounded.
As the windows of the room were all sealed with iron plates, the room was dark. He carefully held Miaozhu in front of his eyes, but he could not see Junko in Miaozhu. He did not know what had happened to her. He pinched it gently with his fingers. The bead was warm and a little soft. It was no longer as tough and solid.
His heart suddenly sank. The pearl was slowly softening and melting into water. A drop of water had already flowed down from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
He closed his eyes and repeated Junko's name in his heart. As he repeated it, his heart ached as if he could sense Junko's situation. A disaster was threatening her life. At this moment, she was crying, trembling, and suffering. Her life will turn to dust,
For the first time, he felt her soul. It was like two particles floating in the vast universe. Even after experiencing the reincarnation of several lives, even if they were tens of thousands of years apart, once the electric waves of the soul were connected, there would be a connection between them and they would sense each other. Although the connection between them was still very weak.
He could feel her pain, but he couldn't rush to her side to help her escape from danger. Was this love? He had almost forgotten that he was in danger as well. He was only thinking about Junko. The more he thought about her, the more his heart ached.
Tears finally flowed out of his eyes and rolled down his face onto the beads in his hand. They gathered in the palm of his hand, and it was impossible to tell if they were his tears or the beads of water.
His tears covered the pearl with a layer of water film, greatly slowing down its melting speed.
" Wei Zi-" Huizi walked to his side and called out to him softly.
Although Akiko was already Youzi's girlfriend, she only trusted Wei Zi. She placed her last hope on him.
Wei Zi lowered his head and stared at the pearl in his hand. He did not react like a block of wood.
Aoki reached out her hand and shook his body worriedly, waking him up from his deep sorrow.
He raised his head in a daze and looked at Huizi. He heard her crying.
"What's wrong with you? Quickly think of a way! I'm so scared. I don't want to die here!”
Everyone present also stared at him. Only then did he come to his senses and turned his gaze to the incense altar in the corner of the room. A quarter of the jimsonweed incense stick had already burned, and the room was beginning to fill with a fragrant mist. The fragrant mist that drifted over carried the smell of death.
He couldn't wait for death here, and he couldn't die like this! This thought occupied Wei Zi's mind.
The most important thing now was to find a way to extinguish the burning incense.
He clasped his hands together, holding the pearl, and quickly walked toward one of the incense altars.
Everyone present stared at him in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.
He stopped five steps away from the incense altar and shouted at the Mudman standing far behind him,"
"Come on, some man over here and help me-bring that wooden ladder over from the wall!”
All the mud men heard the shout, but they stood still. No one was willing to stand out and did not dare to approach the incense altar.
"Hey-do you think you won't die if you stand far away?!”Wei Zi roared at the crowd.
It could be said that an honest person would not easily lose his temper.
Wei Zi's furious roar shocked the numb hearts of the Mudmen present, making them realize that the sky's collapse was not just crushing sparrows!
Timidly, two Mudmen came over and helped move the ladder in the corner.
"The two of you don't need to get too close to the incense altar. Just stand here and hold the ladder. I'll climb up the ladder, and you guys slowly move the ladder closer to the incense altar!”
The two mud men did as he said and held the ladder on each side. Wei Zi held the pearl with both hands and climbed up the ladder step by step. The ladder was slanted and gradually approached the sky above the incense altar.
Wei Zi held his breath and put his hands together. When he approached the incense pillar, he placed his hands on top of it.
A drop of water dripped from between his fingers and landed on the spark of the incense stick. Then, another drop of water extinguished the water with the flickering spark!
Wei Zi carefully came down from the ladder. After he was a few steps away from the incense altar, he dared to take a deep breath.
"And that corner of the house, hurry!" He did not dare to relax and quickly walked towards another incense altar.
Everyone finally understood. They saw the hope of life again, and their dispirited spirits could not help but be revived.
One by one, Wei Zi used the same method to extinguish the sparks on the incense sticks on the incense altars in the four corners of the room. The pearl in his hand had also shrunk a lot, and it had not stopped melting.
The four Mandala incense sticks stopped burning, and the fear in the mud man's heart had just subsided a little. Who knew that there was a banging sound coming from upstairs.
" There's someone upstairs?!" Someone shouted warily.
The Mudmen present looked up at the ceiling like frightened birds.
Only Wei Zi and Zhang Zi knew that perhaps they had awakened the zombies upstairs!
Wei Zi held the pearl with both hands and pressed it against his chest. He said bluntly to everyone,
"There are zombies upstairs!"
"What is it? Zombies?" Hearing him say this, everyone was like a frying pan as they asked at once,
"Have you seen them before?"
"Will they eat us?”
"Why don't they come down?"
"What are they doing up there?"
"From the sound, those zombies are dancing up there? Or fight?"
Wei Zi explained,"
"The zombies upstairs are all lying on a plank bed. When they wake up, they will only do one thing, which is to hit a rock to commit suicide. Then, their bones will melt into dust!”
"What? Why did they commit suicide?"
"These zombies are behaving so strangely!”
Wei Zi had read about the Mandala Fragrance before. He, who had been silent all this while, seized the opportunity to show off his might.
"Because they smelled a lot of datura! As far as I know, the Mandala Fragrance is made by mixing the leaves of Mandala and the venom of a poisonous fish.”
"What will happen if I inhale a large amount?”
" If a large amount of it is inhaled, the poisonous fragrance will damage the brain nerves and destroy the will of the person. It will cause the person to be in a trance and hallucinate. It will also cause the person to become dull and stiff, and they will only be able to do some mechanical movements.”
"Since you already knew that Mandala Fragrance was a hallucinogenic poison, why didn't you tell us earlier?”Someone grumbled unhappily.
"Hmph, I should have told you earlier? I'm afraid you'll be scared to death before you're poisoned silly! Or scared out of their wits! The ignorant are fearless!" With a tone that said that he was very considerate of everyone, he glanced at Wei Zi.
Huizi stood behind Wei Zi. Hearing him say this, she felt a little disgusted.
Just now, he was the one who shouted for others to extinguish the sparks on the incense pillar. Since he had long known that the Mandala incense was so poisonous, he stood by and watched, but he asked others to die, causing the bold mud man to fall unconscious after touching the incense pillar.
"Fortunately, Wei Zi thought of a way to extinguish the poisonous fragrance! Otherwise, we would be zombies now!”
"Don't be happy too early! Even if he couldn't become a zombie, he would still be soaked in hot soup and be done for!”Wei Zi coldly poured a bucket of ice water on everyone.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Zi. He really didn't expect Wei Zi to think of such an ingenious method to resolve the crisis. He was puzzled. The blunt spear kept its hands closed. What was in its hands? Why were there water droplets?
"Yes, when the criminals guarding outside the house find out that we haven't been poisoned silly, they will definitely fly into a rage and abuse us even more.”You Zi actually agreed with Wei Zi, which made Hui Zi even more disappointed in him.
At this moment, the sound of a drum beating on the ceiling sounded.
Wei Zi heard the commotion upstairs and suddenly had an idea. He said to everyone,
"Everyone, go upstairs!"
"We didn't become zombies, so why are we going upstairs?”
"I don't dare to go up! If we stay with those terrifying monsters, will they take our lives?”
"No! Not only will they not harm us, but the sand they melt will also absorb onto our bodies, filling our bodies, increasing our weight, and giving us more energy!”Wei Zi said.
Everyone was still standing there in disbelief.
Zhang Zi had experienced it before. He was a blind man eating wontons. He thought angrily, since the Black Tower had taken his Mimi, they couldn't leave. Since there was no hope, they might as well go upstairs and stir up the robbers 'zombies.
He stood up and placed the ladder at the entrance. Without hesitation, he climbed up the ladder and shouted fiercely,
"Even if the boat capsizes, it's just water that's deep under your feet. You won't die! Those who were afraid of death would wait for death below! Those who are not afraid of death, follow me! They stole my Mimi. I'm going to wake up all the zombies upstairs and melt them all. I'll attach them to my body and become a giant with infinite strength. I can send that black tower flying with one punch!”
Zhang Zi's figure quickly disappeared at the entrance. His words dispelled everyone's doubts. Everyone followed closely behind him and climbed up to the second floor one by one.
