A Clash of Gods

Chapter 19: Traveling freely

Views:

The sun shines on the waterfall, and the brilliance reflected by the waterfall is projected into the stone chamber. The stone chamber is filled with light. Yang Ning has moved his eyes away from the skeleton and is staring at the stone wall in front of him.

What surprised Yang Ning was that the stone wall in front of him was very smooth. There were no uneven rocks. The entire stone wall was as smooth as a mirror. Not only that, but the other two stone walls were also the same.

The stone walls are smooth and not very fresh, but there are many murals carved on the three stone walls, which are mixed but not chaotic, forming groups of murals.

The three murals seemed to demonstrate a dance. The human figures were very simple from the waist up, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, but they were very detailed from the legs down. He roughly estimated the figures on the three walls. There are as many as forty or fifty murals in total, all of which are hand-carved.

Yang Ning glanced at the skeleton and knew that if he guessed correctly, the carvings on the stone wall should have been carved by this person during his lifetime. He thought that this person was alone in this cave, lonely and boring, so he had nothing to do. Carvings on stone walls.

But when this person arrived in this cave, he naturally knew how to leave. Whether he escaped from the crack or jumped from the waterfall, he could easily escape, but I don't know why he stayed here

These murals cannot be painted overnight. This person stayed in this stone room even until his death. I really don't know why.

Yang Ning had no interest in dancing. When she returned to the stone table, she saw that the box was covered with a thick layer of dust and even had thick spider webs on the edges. She used her sleeves to brush off the dust. Only then did they discover that the box was made of brass. The lid was engraved with a pattern that resembled a lotus. The overall color of the box was bronze, but the lotus seemed to have been painted with black paint, turning it into a black lotus.

The box was not locked. After Yang Ning opened it, he found that there were pens, inks, papers and inkstones piled inside. The thick pile of paper was quite yellow.

"It seems that this person is still a literati." Yang Ning thought that there was some treasure in the box. When he saw that it was just ordinary pens, inks, paper and inkstones, he couldn't help laughing. He found a clean place on the table, and then took out the contents of the box. He took out everything, except for two writing brushes, an inkstone, a few ink blocks, and a thick pile of yellowed paper. There was also a short blade under the box.

Yang Ning picked up the short knife. The scabbard looked very simple and didn't have many tricks. He used his hands hard and pulled out the blade inside. The light flashed, which was very dazzling, and then he was faced with a burst of cold air.

Yang Ning couldn't help but shudder.

This short knife looks like a dagger, but it is slightly longer than an ordinary dagger. Just looking at the edge, the sharpness is fully displayed.

He stretched out a finger and put it on the blade, it was like touching ice. It was bone-chilling and he couldn't help but said: "This thing is really evil."

Of course he had played with knives before, but he had never felt such a cold blade.

"Could it be that the carvings on the wall were carved by this knife?" Yang Ning couldn't help but think, but the blade was extremely sharp, and there was no flaw in either the blade or the blade. He walked to the stone wall with the short knife and found a blank space. , the blade crossed over, and wherever it passed, there was a deep mark, which was extremely sharp, but the short blade did not suffer any damage.

"It is indeed a treasure." Yang Ning was overjoyed. One of his hobbies was knives, and he especially liked these short blades. He collected many daggers in his previous life.

Ordinary people cannot tell the quality of knives, but experts know that there are many ways to do it.

Regardless of its appearance or sharpness, Yang Ning could conclude that this dagger was truly a one-of-a-kind weapon. If it were kept in future generations, it would definitely be marketable and priceless.

Sheathing the knife, Yang Ning put it in his arms. Then he returned to the table and sat down. He flipped through the pile of yellowed papers. Half of them had written text. Although the ancient text was not very clear, Yang Ning could read it. This person's writing style is free and easy, bold and powerful, and most of them are poems and songs.

Suddenly I saw a piece of paper that looked like a letter written on it. I examined it carefully and barely recognized the writing on it: "I have doubts in my heart, but a half-life friendship cannot be broken. I can only hide from the world and stay in the past." After a while, it was written below: "Execute all the differences and cut off the pillars. We have not seen each other again, but our strength is far apart, so it is difficult to achieve success, but I am able to travel freely, so it is difficult to hurt me!"

Yang Ning looked at Monk Zhang Er and was confused and didn't know what it meant.

He put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back into the copper box, took out the scroll from his arms, and spread it out on the stone table. He thought that Mu Shenjun had never forgotten the scroll. It seemed that this magical skill of Liuhe was really not simple.

He had already memorized the first six of the eleven pictures. At this time, he was bored and began to look at the seventh picture, hoping that he could see some clues with his intelligence.

Yang Ning had no intention of leaving immediately.

He was very sure that Mr. Mu Shen would never give up for this scroll. There was probably a wanderer nearby. If he went out at this time, if he met him, he would definitely die.

Mu Shenjun may not know that he is still alive, but he will never give up looking for the scroll so easily. If he does not give up until he reaches the Yellow River, he will not give up just after seeing himself fall off the cliff.

Yang Ning knew that the hope of catching up with the escort team and finding Xiaodie was getting slimmer, but since he was in danger, he could only save himself first.

If he rushes out rashly and really encounters Lord Mu Shen, not to mention rescuing Xiaodie, his life will be wiped out immediately. Only if he survives can he have the opportunity to continue looking for Xiaodie and save her from the fire and water.

For the remaining five pictures, it took Yang Ning half a day to determine the acupuncture points where the red lines passed. However, after reading the eleven pictures, Yang Ning could not figure out where the god was. However, the direction of the acupuncture points of each red line, But it has been roughly remembered in my heart.

After noon, Yang Ning was hungry. He looked around the stone room but couldn't find any food. He wondered how the skeleton survived before. Could it be that this man actually starved to death in this stone room

He could only go and drink the water from the waterfall first, half full of water. Fortunately, the water was sweet and refreshing, which temporarily relieved his hunger.

Xinbu walked around the stone room, looking at one picture after another. After turning around, he suddenly discovered that the first picture on the left wall was exactly the same as the last picture on the right wall. The first picture on the left seemed to be the same as the one on the left. The momentum, a dance is carved, and the last picture returns to the origin of the momentum.

After seeing the last painting, Yang Ning discovered that there were several rows of words engraved in the corner. After careful identification, it seemed to be a poem, which said, "Thousands of miles of sand and dust are flying, and strong winds are passing through the forest now. In the universe, I am alone in the world." .

"Walking alone?" Yang Ning muttered a sentence, and immediately thought of the inexplicable passage on the yellow paper just now, and wondered if this depiction was related to that passage

Is this dance called Xiaoyao Xing

There is indeed nothing wrong with it. Yang Ning couldn't help but stand according to the movements in the first picture, and then moved according to the movements in the second picture. After looking at seven or eight pictures, he found that the steps of this dance were very weird. , it seems that the movements in each picture are very clear, but the connection between them is quite abnormal. For example, to convert one step into the step of the next picture, it actually takes more than half a circle.

While he was looking at the depictions, he was making movements. The connection of subsequent movements became more and more awkward. Some had to move forward or backward in a semi-arc shape, while others moved diagonally to the left, or turned to the right in a half-circle. You may not think so when you look at the murals, but when you do it yourself, you will find it quite difficult.

Yang Ning reluctantly walked step by step, but her movements were stiff and far from the elegant and free feeling in the picture. She couldn't help but wonder if this set of depictions had cut corners and omitted many steps

After walking about ten steps according to the description, Yang Ning became a little anxious. This was not because of his lack of patience, but because every step he took seemed very awkward. Even he felt that his movements were ugly and he couldn't get rid of that free and elegant feeling at all. This greatly affected Yang Ning's confidence, so she gave up and fell asleep on the ground.

But after lying down, my mind was not quiet. One moment it was the complicated acupuncture points in the painting, and the other moment I was thinking about the pace I had just walked, wondering how to make my walking as elegant as the mural.

I couldn't lie down for a while, so I got up and practiced the steps again. After practicing for a while, I felt a little frustrated and stopped. But after a while, I couldn't help but continue to practice. This dance seemed to have magic. Although the steps were weird , but it seems to have some kind of attraction, and people can't help but want to think about it and practice it.

In fact, although there are nearly fifty pictures on this mural, in the final analysis, it is only forty or fifty steps. It's just that the pace of these forty or fifty steps is weird. Walking in one set of steps, don't be awkward, making Yang Ning feel all over his body. It's all sweat.

In the next two days, Yang Ning practiced the steps repeatedly. He walked from beginning to end countless times. The steps were already very familiar, but he could never get the elegant charm. Fortunately, the competition started. His movements were stiff, but after two days, he had become much more proficient.

At dusk on the third day, Yang Ning was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore. He had eaten water from the waterfall to satisfy his hunger in the past few days, but after all, it was not food to replenish his physical strength. He was lacking in physical strength. In addition, he had been practicing Xiaoyao Xing for several days in a row, and his physical strength was exhausted. By this time, I was already dizzy with hunger, and I knew that if I continued to stay here, I was afraid that I would really starve to death here.

Thinking that it has been three days, Mu Shenjun should leave no matter how patient he is. It should be okay to go out at this time.

There are two ways out, one goes out along the crack, climbs the vines to the mountain wall to the top of the cliff, the other is simple and jumps directly from the waterfall.

A height of more than ten meters is naturally very dangerous. Yang Ning knows that jumping from such a height is full of momentum. If he makes a mistake, his whole body may be broken or even fall to death.

However, if you exit through the crack, you can only return to the top of the cliff, which is not safe after all.

Yang Ning looked at the cliff below the entrance of the cave. It was quite steep. He could climb down the cliff first. Even if he fell down, there was a pool below, so there was always a chance of survival.

Just do it, Yang Ning did not hesitate, and carefully climbed down from the entrance of the cave. Thinking that there was an extremely sharp ice blade in his arms, he took it out and inserted it into the cliff. It really cut iron like mud, and it was very easy to sink in. Yang Ning then moved down a little bit, and went down several meters with the help of the weapon.

When he pulled out the ice blade again and was about to insert it into the cliff, his foot slipped and the whole person fell down. Yang Ning quickly opened his hands and made a "plop", his feet fell first, and the whole person immediately fell into the pool below. At the moment of falling into the water, there was a huge shock all over his body, his internal organs tumbled, and he felt dizzy.

The pool was extremely deep. Yang Ning slowed down in the water for a moment, then pulled out his limbs and swam for a moment. He emerged from the water, saw the shore, swam over, and climbed onto the shore. His whole body was soaked with wetness. The huge earthquake just now shook his body. It's still a little uncomfortable, but there is no injury, let alone life-threatening.

Looking around, it turns out that this place is already a valley, surrounded by grass and trees, and surrounded by towering mountains on all sides.

I was so hungry that I just wanted to find some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. I saw a forest not far away in front of me. I quickly walked over and entered the forest. The sky was getting dark. After searching for a while, I found a few fruit trees. Not caring about anything else, he picked the fruits and sat under the tree to satisfy his hunger.

After eating six or seven fruits in a row, he relieved his hunger. He stood up and stretched. At this moment, he heard a noise around him. He turned around and saw a pair of eyes like blades staring at him. Looking at himself, a figure was just a few steps away from him, like a beast discovering its prey.

This person is Lord Mu Shen!
