I don’t understand where my uneasiness comes from, and Ruxue has clearly said that after he goes out, he will tell me all the facts, but it’s like there is a hidden thread in my heart pulling me, pulling me towards the huge black hole of uneasiness. .
I was afraid that I couldn't even maintain the superficial calm and couldn't help but let Ruxue tell me what was wrong with her right now, but then Old Ghost Wu floated back and said: "Brother Cheng, it's If you have a lamp, go and light it.”
Just as I was about to stand up, Brother Chengxin stood up and said, "Chengyi, please stay with Ruxue for a while, and I'll follow Lao Wu to light the lanterns."
Listening to Ruxue's breathing, still so uneasy, I nodded and just said: "Be careful."
So, Ruxue, Lao Zhang, and I waited quietly in the darkness. In less than a minute, the first light came on with a warm yellow light, then the second, and the third Light...
As the lights turned on, Ruxue's breathing slowly calmed down. This was a wonderful experience. In the silent darkness, in the uneasy mood, slightly irritable and lost, the kind of feeling of looking at the lights Light up, hoping for a feeling of recovery bit by bit...
"Ruxue, no matter what happens, I am here." I said to Ruxue firmly. The light brought me peace and hope. I want to bring this firm mood to Ruxue.
Ruxue didn't respond to me at the first time. After a long time, she said: "Chengyi, nothing is hopeless, it's just a choice. You have to believe me, I will become very strong, very strong of."
I didn't understand the meaning of this, but I absolutely believed that she would be strong. I looked at Ruxue, and her eyes were no longer confused and uneasy at this moment, but shone with an unusually determined strength and determination. Then she lightly He gently left my arms and suddenly returned to that calm, indifferent person like snow.
This change makes me feel indescribably weird, but this is always a good change, right? I tried to think on the bright side of everything, but at this moment, I heard Mr. Wu shouting: "There is a big lamp on the top, let me light it, I will do it."
Then Brother Chengxin's voice came: "Are you okay?"
"Nonsense, after all, I am an old ghost who has lived for hundreds of years. There is absolutely no problem in touching a lighter. Let me do it." Old ghost Wu said with a bit of arrogance.
It is common sense that a spirit body cannot affect matter. However, if a spirit body is trained and its mental power is particularly concentrated, it can slightly affect matter, which means it can 'lift' relatively light objects.
This is not surprising, it is like the special function of the human body, using mental power to move materials!
However, I was shocked that Old Ghost Wu still had this ability. Generally speaking, the more resentful a spirit is, the more powerful it is. However, the concentration of mental power belongs to the path of ghost cultivation. Could it be that Old Ghost Wu had no talent during his lifetime? Do you still have the talent for ghost cultivation after death
Just when I was thinking wildly, Mr. Wu had already floated up and started to light the big light hanging on the top of this place. I saw the lighter light up again and again. In the end, the big light was completely lit. Bright,
With the cooperation of the headlights and wall lamps, the entire space was finally completely brightened, and even the substantial darkness was driven away. I had been uneasy before. After all, Ruxue said, this kind of darkness is like that of black insects. It’s caused by breathing. I was afraid that if this space was brightened, I would see many sleeping insects, but in fact, there were not. This was just a huge and gorgeous stone room, extremely clean, with very little dust, let alone anything. Strange bugs.
Brother Chengxin came back to me, and Old Ghost Wu also floated back and asked me: "Brother Chengxin, why do I think this looks like a big bedroom? It's impossible to build a bedroom underground."
Wu Laogui is right. This place is very big, maybe two or three hundred square meters. In fact, it really looks like a bedroom. I can clearly see the exquisite dressing table with stone carvings and a huge copper plate on it. There is also a mirror, an exquisite stone bed, and a curtain, but the curtain looks decayed and fragile, and I am afraid it will break if it is touched, and there are also some miscellaneous objects. Everything shows that This is a bedroom, and it's also a woman's bedroom.
"As I guessed, we broke into a guy's lair, but it was a lair a long time ago." I whispered.
"Yes, they should be underground, and the routes of cultivation are different." Brother Chengxin also said that cultivators need to practice one breath of inner breath, which only supports all the foundations, but what humans need is spiritual energy. What monsters need to practice is moonlight and yin energy, because they can withstand it. A long time ago, there were strips of pure yin energy concentrated underground. It is not as hard to find now. It is not strange that the nest is underground. things.
I was talking to Brother Chengxin, and Lao Zhang asked very nervously: "What kind of thing is hiding underground?"
I patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder and said nothing. If we continue to follow this route, if we are going to see the truth after all, I can't keep comforting Lao Zhang and tell him that this is not true. He will collapse if he really sees it.
I was silent, Lao Zhang licked his lips nervously, and Wu Laogui followed Brother Chengxin and began to search around, trying to find something valuable. After all, this was a monster from long ago. After entering its lair, looking for It is normal to have valuable things.
But in fact, it was clear at a glance that Brother Chengxin didn't find anything. Instead, the curtain hanging on the huge stone bed, as I expected, shattered at the first touch, exposing the inside of the stone bed.
The stone bed was not covered with sheets, pillows, quilts, etc. like a human bed. It was just a simple and smooth bed surface. But looking at the bed surface, Brother Chengxin said "Huh" and then picked up a bed. Something.
It was a rolled-up thing, a thick pile that looked like animal skins. Brother Chengxin motioned for us to come over, and then opened the roll in front of all of us.
This animal hide was bigger than I thought. When spread out, it occupied almost half of the stone bed. It was about two meters long and more than one meter wide. I don’t know what kind of animal skin it was tanned from. In short, it was very big. A thin but tough layer.
It was densely covered with writing. We shined a flashlight on it and thought it was writing at first, but upon closer inspection, we found that these twisted things were not the writing we were familiar with at all.
My master has handed me a lot of ancient characters since I was a child, and I can even recognize some of the very rare ancient characters. However, I don’t recognize any of the densely packed characters on this animal skin. At first glance, they are completely different. strange.
How can we be reconciled to this? Ever since I entered the underground, I have always felt mysterious and dangerous. I still dare not say that my life is safe. I finally got a huge clue that may be related to our lives. How could we give up so easily
Therefore, Brother Chengxin and I were watching and discussing. He was no worse than me in terms of knowledge in this area, so we could only study it slowly. There was enough time for this operation, so we could sharpen our skills. Woodcutter, we don’t care about this little time either.
Ruxue quietly watched my discussion with Brother Chengxin. Lao Zhang didn’t understand, so he simply stepped aside, took out a pack of compressed biscuits, and ate it slowly. Old Ghost Wu had long been bored and floated to the old man. Zhang was talking nonsense with Lao Zhang in front of him.
About 10 minutes later, Brother Chengxin suddenly shouted: "Chengyi, I see something, we are going in the wrong direction."
"What?" Seeing Brother Chengxin's surprised look, I knew something was going on.
"Silly, we have been studying these symbols as words. Naturally, nothing can be learned from the research. There are no words written in piles. This is simply a stick figure, a stick figure!" Brother Chengxin shouted loudly. And said excitedly.
As soon as he said that, I quickly looked at it carefully, and then I realized that it was really as Brother Chengxin said, it was a simple picture, one picture after another, and each picture expressed one content. It's not what we thought before, a bunch of strange symbols crowded together, and then a bunch of strange symbols crowded together.
Now that we have recognized it as a stick figure, it is much easier to interpret. However, the meaning of this stick figure is paradoxical, and it is not that easy to interpret it accurately.
At least, several minutes passed before Brother Chengxin and I interpreted the first picture. The meaning expressed in that picture made Brother Chengxin and I dumbfounded. Translated into language, it was that a long time ago, in this land In the woods, a little fox was born.
what is this? The beginning of a fairy tale
But before Brother Chengxin and I could say anything, suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the stone room. It was low and made people feel depressed and uncomfortable. The sound was very close, but it seemed like they were separated from each other. What's average.
Brother Chengxin and I looked at each other. We had heard this sound before when Ruxue knocked down the first pair of charm stones!
