When the other party raised her head to meet the blade without evading it, my long knife also struck her between the eyebrows.
A moment later, I felt as if my knife had struck a stone. Not only were sparks flying from the blade, but my arms were also shaken to the point of numbness.
As I took a step back with the long knife in my hand, hundreds of pearls lit up all around me at the same time, and the space where I stood was suddenly illuminated as bright as day.
It was only then that I saw clearly that my long knife had actually struck a stone tablet, and the faceless woman was already standing a few meters away: "I said, everything here is half true and half false. "
I said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
The faceless woman pointed at the stone tablet and said, "Don't you want to see what is written on the stone tablet first?"
When I looked at the stone tablet, I couldn't help but be stunned: "The place where Ghost Eyes inherits."
If those few words only surprised me, the picture below the big line of characters shocked me inexplicably—there was a picture of a god-devouring demon tiger, and its ferocious tiger head was exactly the same as the pendant on my chest.
I couldn't help but touch the tiger head pendant on my chest. Qin Siyue also saw my pendant when I was in Guancheng. At that time, I thought she had taken the tiger head away, but when I woke up, the tiger head was back.
The same God-Eating Demonic Tiger, the same inheritance of eye skills, will my dad be the successor of the Ghost Eye Technique
When I looked up at the faceless woman, the latter said: "Your eyesight skills have not been perfected. You can't see through anything. You are far worse than the people who left the books back then."
I asked in a trembling voice: "Who is the person who left the book?"
The faceless woman raised her hand and threw the night pearl over, then pointed at the stone tablet and said, "Look down! Use your eyesight to see it. Don't blame me if you can't understand it."
I held the luminous pearl in my hand and approached the stone monument, but after looking at it for a long time, I saw nothing.
I was about to stand up and speak, but I heard the woman say coldly: "You have one stick of incense, and if you can't understand the words on the stone tablet within one stick of incense, there will be another dead person on the tree outside."
That woman was definitely not kidding me. The murderous intent coming from her body had locked onto all the vital points in my body. If I dared to act rashly, I would never be able to escape from her grasp.
The faceless woman said coldly: "The safety of everyone outside depends on you alone. I know you don't necessarily care about the life and death of others, but don't you even care about that girl named Si Ruo?"
I glared at the man fiercely, and simply sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, constantly thinking about the eye skills I had practiced in my mind.
The "Gaze of Life and Death" definitely cannot be used on this stone tablet. What else do I have left
As I was trying to think back, I suddenly remembered that when my dad was teaching me how to practice eye skills, he mixed red beans with mung beans at first and asked me to pick out the red beans just by my eyesight; later he replaced the mung beans with black beans; and later, He used black thread and red thread; in the end, he didn't even use the red thread, and mixed black threads of different thicknesses together, and asked me to pick out the thicker black thread.
I have been practicing this "clear distinction" technique for five years, but I still haven't reached the level of my dad.
Could it be that the stone tablet needs to be discerned to be able to see it
When I looked carefully at the patterns on the stone tablets, I found that most of the stone patterns were the same thickness. This would never happen with naturally formed stone patterns. Someone deliberately hid a secret message on it
I kept comparing the stone patterns, and after eliminating the same patterns, writings did appear on the stone tablet. I read on subconsciously: "In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, I was chased here by the Qing army. In order to prevent the secret technique of "Ghost Eyes" from being lost, I left the secret book here. Xia Ji is the person I entrusted to me. Except for Xia Ji, no one can be trusted."
When I read to the end, my head couldn't help but "bang": "Ghost Eye King Zhan! Wang Zhan? My dad?"
I trembled: "My father lived in the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign? Didn't he live to be nearly three hundred years old?"
It has been almost more than 280 years since the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign. The person who broke into Dan Island could not have been a baby. He must have been at least a young man in his twenties. If that person was really my father, then he must have been at least three years old. One hundred years old.
This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
I desperately wanted to deny everything, but my mind was in a mess. People in antique stores have always said that my dad looks young and does not look like he is in his forties.
When I think about it carefully, my dad's appearance seems to have really not changed much. The strangest thing is that sometimes he will deliberately lighten his hair to make it whiter. He said that it makes his hair look mature and gives customers a sense of trust.
Is he really trying to look mature? Or is he deliberately hiding his unchanged appearance.
When I looked at the woman in the cave, her face had changed, and her delicate facial features slowly emerged from her face. Just a few seconds later, a woman of peerless elegance stood in front of me.
It's not that I haven't seen beauties before. Si Ruo, Yu Feng, Ren Tianqing, Lu Xinyao, Fox Mother, Tao Xiyu, and even Qin Siyue are all beauties selected from a thousand, but their beauty is eclipsed by this woman. .
Si Ruo's beauty makes people feel close; Yu Feng has a capable temperament; Ren Tianqing has a playful aura; Lu Xinyao's beauty is a kind of alienation; Fox Mother's charlatanism is what makes her attractive; Tao Xiyu is She hides her sadness; and Qin Siyue has a fatal mystery in her body.
But the woman in front of me carries a domineering air of being the only one who cares about her. Just standing there makes people feel that she is arrogant and dominating the world. It is this kind of temperament that can match her domineering beauty.
I looked at the other person for a while and then said, "Are you Xia Ji?"
The other party nodded and said: "Xia Ji is my name, but not this face."
Xia Ji touched her face and said, "I have had no face since I was born. It sounds strange, right? How can a person without facial features possibly live?"
Xia Ji said faintly: "Actually, I have facial features, but my facial features are like five holes poked in a piece of dough. The person who gave birth to me said that those things are just a skin, and they will rot sooner or later. There is no difference between having it or not. But I also want to have a face! Even if it is an ugly face, even if no one loves me, at least there will be someone to talk to, and at least people will not think that I am a monster. "
I said in a deep voice: "Were you not on Dan Island at the beginning?"
"Here!" Xia Ji said, "I have always been on Dan Island. There are also people here, naturally there are men and women, there is love and affection. Even evil love and sadistic love are not things that I can get. I simply I used illusions to cover my face, and stayed on the second floor never to go out. Until one day, I met Wang Zhan."
When I heard this, my heart couldn't help but clench: "How did you meet him?"
Xia Ji looked into the distance, as if she was lost in memories: "At that time, he was chased to Dan Island and killed all the way up from below. His sword was so crazy and domineering, and he seemed to be crazy. The fierce tiger. The corpse soldiers guarding the island were no match for him at all, and he was forced to kill them all."
Xia Ji said faintly: "Even I can't stop him. My illusions have no effect in front of him. He can see through my flaws with just one glance. I originally thought I would die under his knife, but he But he didn’t kill me.”
"When Wang Zhan abandoned me and walked up the mountain, I asked him why he didn't kill me. He said that after seeing my eyes, he didn't want to kill me. He saw in my eyes that we were the same kind of people."
"Wang Zhan came back after leaving. That time, he was seriously injured. I knew that the Danshi above was chasing him, but I tried my best to hide him. He stayed here for three months to recover from his injuries. good."
"At that time, I really hoped that his injury would never heal, so that he could always stay with me. At least, I would still have a friend to talk to. But he still left and walked to Dan Island. Only there can Let people get out. Before he left, he made a promise to me that as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely come back to fulfill my wish and give me a perfect face."
Xia Ji paused slightly and said: "I know that no one has ever been able to escape on Dan Island. If they go to the ninth heaven, no one will come back. Wang Zhan is also afraid that he will never come back, so he stays here. Got the secret book of "Ghost Eyes"."
"He told me that in the future, whenever someone wears the God-eating Demon Tiger and goes to the island, he will be taught the second level of the 'Ghost Eyes', 'Gaze of Life and Death'. If that person has mastered the 'Gaze of Life and Death', he will be taught to here."
"If that person can read the words on the stone tablet clearly, teach him the "Secret Technique of Ghost Eyes"; if he can't read it, kill him."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Regardless of whether Wang Zhan is my father or not, he has already predicted that this trip will be dangerous.
That Wang Zhan didn't have any ability to predict the future, and he didn't know that I would land on the island. What he was betting on was just a vague hope, that is, the successor of the Ghost Eye Technique would land on the Fairy Island in a few years.
What's more important is that Wang Zhan is definitely not a detective. Otherwise, how could the person with the Yunpo Sect's token pursue him here? Although the five divine meridians are at odds with each other, in ancient times they focused on the method of sitting together. If a person who is a divine explorer dares to poison the emperor, the divine explorer will inevitably be uprooted. The Detective Hand won't let that happen.
To take a step back, even if the person from the Po Yun Sect came to kill people and silence them, he would do it in secret instead of worshiping the Tang Dynasty with a stick.
Thinking of this, I asked tremblingly: "What happened next?"
Xia Ji didn't seem to hear what I said, and just recalled to herself: "Wang Zhan doesn't know if he can leave alive, but I always believe that he will definitely come back. I have been waiting here, guarding this area. The stone tablet waits for his return, day after day, year after year.”
When I subconsciously looked at the stone tablet, I realized that the God-devouring Demon Tiger had a black luster and looked extremely round. It was the mark left by someone's long-term caressing.
Xia Ji didn't lie, she had been waiting for Wang Zhan.
I asked softly: "Then, did he come back?"
