The tunnel was extremely narrow, and the two of them had to bend slightly to walk in it, with twists and turns, and they couldn't see through it at a glance.
Xuan Ji's eyes were full of Sheng Lingyuan's back, and he didn't answer for a while.
Sheng Lingyuan will not be shy about expressing. If necessary, he will even exaggerate appropriately. For example, sometimes he feels "one" in his heart, but he can also express the effect of "ten", which looks quite sincere to outsiders. This makes both those who love him and those who think about him confused. They don't know how many teeth in His Majesty's brilliant smile are sincere.
But Xuan Ji knows that there are some things that Lingyuan doesn't talk about.
When he was young, he didn't talk about the relationship between mother and child, and when he was young, he didn't talk about swords with others. After Dongchuan was burned, he stopped talking about brothers and sisters.
Occasionally, when someone mentioned the "mother" Chen, Sheng Lingyuan always used the same few sentences—starting with Chen's virtues and achievements, then piled them up with a bunch of exaggerated parallel sentences, and finally simply expressed that he "mother's kindness is hard to repay"... So I don't plan to report it at all, like a speech that hasn't been updated for decades.
He doesn't say anything bad about Chen's family, just like he doesn't say anything good about Tianmojian. If outsiders were to comment on Jian Lingtong, Sheng Lingyuan, who is eloquent and eloquent, would immediately be at a loss for words. He couldn't boast anything other than "being with you for many years" and "loyalty and reliability". Xuan Ji once suspected that apart from Danli and King Ning Waiting for the few who watched them grow up, I was a classic image of an honest person in the hearts of many people at the time.
As for Dong Chuan, when Aluojin was alive, Sheng Lingyuan would always be troubled when he mentioned that guy to people, and he would have a headache. He was not as lush as the little girls in the clan. I'm a bullshit, and I don't know that it takes the year of the monkey to grow up. But before the year of the monkey arrives, the shaman tribe will be gone. Since then, Aluojin has been with him, and he is no longer a worrying brat. Sheng Lingyuan does not cover up Aluojin's merits and demerits. The pitiful young patriarch, whose betrayal and obsession is a great loss to the human race... He never said what it meant to him to lose Aluojin and cut off the heads of more than 40,000 witches with his own hands.
This was the first time Xuan Ji heard him say such words bluntly, almost discouraging and resentful.
Xuan Ji took a few steps forward: "What did you just say? Say it again."
Sheng Lingyuan: "I said it's boring..."
"In the previous sentence," Xuan Ji grabbed his hand, "You said you 'only', what do you only have?"
"I didn't mention you again, so don't be ashamed," Sheng Lingyuan said with a smile while pulling his hand out, "Why do you have to push yourself up when I say something, you..."
"Lingyuan," Xuan Ji interrupted him, "If I can make a wish, I hope we can be a couple of mortals."
It is best to be born in this world, preferably in an ordinary family.
One is a brat from Shangfang Jiewa, and the other is a smart and sensible little brother.
The little brother must have been a "child of someone else's family" since he was a child. Every time the scumbag next to him eats his parents' feather duster, he has to say "Look at other people's souls". Pleasing to the eye, noisy since childhood...
Arguing and arguing, a gust of spring wind blows over, I don't know which heartstrings are swaying, and when it thumps, it's out of control.
Sheng Lingyuan must not want to make coming out tragic. He has a plan for everything, but adding Xuan Ji is not necessarily the case. Xuan Ji is the official seal of Director Xiao, "the success is not enough to fail", and the plan cannot keep up "Change", if you don't do it well, you will still end up with a chicken and a dog in the end.
then what should we do
Maybe in...a very long time, I will slowly reconcile with the family members who don't understand.
When they were pale and gray-haired, they sat together in the park and played chess together, quarreling over who regretted the game and who cheated, so that no one paid any attention to each other. Just after the fight, no one can think of the reason why they made up inexplicably.
Sheng Lingyuan was slightly dazed, the two of them obviously didn't have a common feeling, but for some reason, he seemed to see a lifetime in Xuan Ji's eyes.
He was about to say something when he was taken aback suddenly, "Wait, did you feel it?"
Xuan Ji came back to her senses and followed his gaze: "There is wind."
In the narrow tunnel, a fine breeze flowed out from nowhere, sweeping over Xuanji's lighting feathers, the feathers trembled with the wind, shaking the shadows of the two people.
At this time, they walked down the tunnel for about thirty meters. The tunnel may be similar to a spiral, winding around the big tree root, going down vertically round after round, making people dizzy when walking. While talking, the two turned a big arc again, suddenly there was no way in front of them, and a stone wall blocked them.
"Dead end?" Xuan Ji leaned closer, and suddenly frowned again—the thicker and thicker smell of the bronze tripod seeped out from the cracks in the wall, with the smell of blood, and the sound of wind could be heard behind the wall, as if there was a huge cavity, he knocked Knocking on the stone wall, "Am I violently destroying, or reading sesame seeds..."
Before the word "door" was finished, the stone wall moved.
Looking at the rather thick stone wall, it seems to be a light and fluffy trapdoor. It turns when you touch it. There is only a "creaking" sound, and a wet and fishy breeze rushes towards you. The stone wall "creaks" and turns more than half a circle. , revealing the "cave" hidden behind -
The feathers of lighting fell.
Behind the wall, there is an abyss where the bottom cannot be seen at a glance. The roots of the dark purple tree next to it are stabbing straight towards the center of the earth like a sharp sword, and the feathers flutter down. A small spot of light, and then, the light became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
There seems to be a vast underworld below.
"I... tell you a little knowledge," Xuan Ji swallowed, "We winged people are also afraid of heights sometimes—Ling Yuan, are you sure we guessed right? This Meng Xia is really a shadow person? I think Even a pangolin can't dig such a deep hole, maybe she's a driller?"
His words echoed, and then, as if the abyss was responding to him, with a "hum", sand and stones fell down, making people dizzy.
Xuan Ji quickly lowered her voice: "Hey, it's disrespectful, and people have heard bad things about people."
Sheng Lingyuan: "Go down and have a look."
Xuan Ji responded, hooked his waist, spread her wings, and flew down the abyss.
The wings were broad and gorgeous, and as soon as they came out, the whole cave lit up, and they flew down whistling. But if there are people above, they will find that the light on Xuan Ji's wings is getting dimmer and dimmer just like the feather he dropped. But for a moment, the two of them were silently swallowed by the abyss.
Sheng Lingyuan was the first to feel something was wrong—his "crow brand mobile phone" seemed to have a bad connection, and Xiao Zheng's voice became intermittent.
"If this thing was arranged more than three thousand years ago, then its function should not be to produce 'echoing sound'. The echoing sound was the patent of the Research Institute of the Different Control Bureau in the last century." Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, and ordered his men, " Check to see if the reverberation equipment on the aftermath plane is still there."
If you want to call the echo equipment from the headquarters, you have to go through a lot of administrative procedures. The only one that is relatively free is on the plane of the aftermath department—it is convenient for them to take it around the country. When the headquarters building collapsed, the plane of the Rehabilitation Section had just returned and stopped just outside the apron, and was the first batch to fall from the 36th floor. The ruins of the meeting hadn't been cleared yet, and the field staff who stayed at the headquarters of the Alien Control Bureau received the order and immediately put down other things and turned upside down in the ruins.
"Director Xiao, no remnants of the echo equipment were found in the ruins."
"In other words," Xiao Zheng turned his head and said to the crow who had been silent for a long time, "can this Suzaku totem all over the mainland be understood as a big speaker? In this large formation, all the plants have become his tongue. Then, Your Majesty, why can Luo Cuicui do this? How did he 'connect' this 'speaker'? Is it because he is a plant department? We now There are other reverb machines. Now that the shape of the entire formation has been outlined, if I can find other plant-type special abilities, can I connect another reverb into it, and have a good debate with this bewitching talker? ?”
Sheng Lingyuan only heard his first few words: "What did you say?"
The crow in front of Xiao Zheng's eyes suddenly flapped his head, and the black mist on his body floated up, forming a vague "you" at first, and before the words were formed, the black mist stopped moving, appearing hesitant to speak.
Xiao Zheng was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't pay attention at first, and continued to say: "There is a second question, why did they do this? What good is it for them to stir up conflicts between ordinary people and special abilities? What does it have to do with Chi Yuan?"
"Director Xiao," the field staff next to him suddenly interrupted him, "Wait, I think there is something wrong with the crow's expression."
Xiao Zheng paused, and saw that the elegant and reserved crow seemed to be stunned suddenly, the warm light in his eyes disappeared, and it poked there with straight brows, staring at the people around it in horror, the black mist around it It also solidified into a ball.
The field staff asked worriedly: "Is it because you spoke too fast and entered too much information, which caused it to freeze?"
"Be respectful, don't talk nonsense," Xiao Zheng scolded, and moved forward slightly, "Your Majesty?"
As soon as he got closer, the crow struggled violently, and the black mist on its body quickly dissipated. Immediately afterwards, it flapped its wings loudly, screamed a series of screams, and flapped Xiao Zhengyi. facial hair.
Xiao Zheng: "..."
At the same time, Sheng Lingyuan's pupils shrank slightly - the connection between him and the crow was broken.
There was a ray of devilish energy that he shot in on the crow. Ever since Sheng Lingyuan grew up and could completely control the power of the demon, there was no such thing as the devilish energy getting out of control. He looked down at his hands, and there were pens and swords left in his palms. The cocoon under it is a pair of very powerful... human hands.
"Xiao Ji," Sheng Lingyuan stared at his blank palm, and said slowly, "I'll tell you one thing, don't panic, I can't feel the demon energy anymore."
Xuan Ji laughed dryly: "I said another thing, don't panic..."
While speaking, Xuan Ji threw herself towards the cliff that was almost straight up and down, and threw Sheng Lingyuan upwards. At the same time, the wings on Xuan Ji's back turned into a flame and disappeared out of thin air.
Sheng Lingyuan reacted very quickly, clasped five fingers on a protruding stone on the edge of the cliff, took off his long coat at the same time, threw it out like a whip, and wrapped Xuan Ji around, the two of them fell on the cliff at the same time, Sheng Lingyuan hung with one hand With the weight of two people, he gasped, his shoulders and elbows ached sharply, and the veins on the back of his hands almost tore his skin.
Xuan Ji: "... I can't feel my wings anymore."
Not only could he not feel the wings, but he also felt that his body was heavier than ever before, and Li Huo rushing through his veins didn't listen to his deployment at all—
Sheng Lingyuan squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "What wish are you making blindly!"
This red-haired crow!
Xuan Ji: "I said that I hope to be a couple of mortals, there is an attributive word! 'It's over here, the world is peaceful', what the hell does it mean to fly halfway and become a mortal! I knew that my sudden fear of heights just now was an ominous sign omen!"
Sheng Lingyuan has no time to be poor with him, his palms are hanging in the air, only his fingers are touching the edge of a little stone, and he can't bear it any longer. For the rest of his life, he relied too much on the power of the demon, and he never regarded himself as a mortal like when he was a child. After practicing, the magic energy suddenly disappeared, and he almost had the illusion that he was powerless.
"I can't breathe..." Xuan Ji is still not used to it, "I said, how did your human race grow so tall when you bear such a strong gravity every day? And how much did you pay for the clothes?" , is it enough..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sound of "呵啦", and Sheng Lingyuan's coat was torn off.
This mouth is perfect!
Sheng Lingyuan: "Good job, don't talk about it!"
"I want to complain about this broken brand!" Amidst Xuan Ji's ghostly howls, a decorative metal cuff button on the torn coat rolled down and hit the stone "jingle".
Xuan Ji shut her mouth abruptly, and the two listened attentively to the sound of metal and stone colliding.
There was a "puchi" sound from the cuff button, as if it had fallen on something soft.
Xuan Ji: "It's not deep, it seems to be almost to the bottom... But why didn't it bounce? What's underneath?"
Sheng Lingyuan lifted up his long coat abruptly, and Xuan Ji was picked up out of thin air by him.
Xuan Ji: "Wait..."
Fan Su's clothes couldn't resist such exciting activities, and they were completely torn in two. Sheng Lingyuan hooked him to his side out of thin air, hugged him in his arms, let go, and the two of them rolled down along the route where the cuffs rolled down.
The fall almost knocked out all the viscera, Sheng Lingyuan's chest was numb for a moment, he didn't come up in one breath, and almost lost consciousness...but he was not injured.
At the same time, Xuan Ji's mobile phone with no signal in his pocket flew out and was thrown more than ten meters before the screen turned on.
The faint light saw the bottom of the abyss, and saw a large thick plant leaf under them, like a blanket, and those green vines, like blood vessels, emerged from the middle...a human body.
The limbs of the "human" have been turned into branches, hanging on a familiar bronze tripod.
The bottoms of the roots of the eight big trees are like steel cones, nailing the vines extending down to something—not the ground.
Xuan Ji got up, picked up the phone, and shone it with the flashlight to push away the dense green vines under their feet.
I saw that the green vine was nailed to a huge skeleton.
It has wings, the size of half a mountain, and its head is facing Chiyuan—exactly the same as the Suzaku totem.
Xuan Ji was stunned for a long time, felt something, and almost tremblingly touched the skeleton.
Sheng Lingyuan: "What?"
"I seem to have dug my own grave." Xuan Ji was silent for a long time before slowly letting out a breath, "It's really exciting."
As he spoke, he raised the flashlight and illuminated the person on the bronze tripod.
That "person" has become a mummy, and the facial features can still be seen vaguely.
It was Luo Cuicui.
"This brother Ham is not short, and he can serve it directly on the table," Xuan Ji said in a low voice, "The one with us..."
"Director Xiao!"
Xiao Zheng was holding a black feather on his head, jumping up and down to catch the flying crows: "What are you doing! What's wrong?"
"Director, we found that before the headquarters building collapsed, Luo Cuicui used her work card to go to the 80th floor above the ground. But because the building was damaged, it is impossible to confirm whether there is something missing inside."
The 80th floor above the ground is the standing weapon depot of the headquarters.
It contains a large number of "mithril" bullets.
Xiao Zheng Yiji Ling-Mithril Bullet has the characteristic that it will automatically bypass ordinary people, and only track people with special abilities...or abnormal energy bodies.
