After regaining their strength, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao could no longer be trapped in the small town of Stone Town. The two could leave at any time, and even people in Stone Town were not afraid to find them.
The two stayed at Rongrong's house for a day. When it was dark, Xiao Tianyao went to the back mountain of the Stone Temple and found the water flowing out of Rongrong's mouth from the cracks in the stone.
It's just that the two of them got the water that could lift Stone Town's hold, but they still didn't find that mysterious power. But to Xiao Tianyao, that mysterious power is also very important, so they cannot leave for the time being.
"Wait another day, find the reason and then leave." Xiao Tianyao thought for a while and decided to postpone the time of leaving.
The two of them are not from the town and can leave at any time, but Rongrong and his father are from the town, and their sudden departure will inevitably arouse suspicion. Good to spend some time in town first.
"It should be related to a certain stone. Did you find anything unusual in the Stone Temple?" Lin Chujiu had no objection. Xiao Tianyao's martial arts had recovered. The townspeople couldn't help them either.
"No, very ordinary stones, now we are not affected by the mysterious power of Stone Town, I'm afraid things will be more difficult." They are now the same as people in Stone Town, how can they find something unusual
"You can only take out all the suspicious stones according to your previous thoughts, and then separate them one by one for different people to try." The doctor system couldn't count on it, so Lin Chujiu could only use the stupidest method.
"Well, I'm going to collect stones, and I can leave tomorrow at the latest." The prince of the empire is still outside, they can't stay in Stone Town for too long, and if the imperial embassy knows what they are doing in Stone Town, they will have no advantage. .
Lin Chujiu nodded. In order to speed up the progress, Lin Chujiu specially found Rongrong and asked him to help find some special stones, not large ones, just small ones.
Rongrong is a child. When a child of this age is still playful in the eyes of adults, no one doubts him when he goes outside to look for stones.
The next day, Rongrong brought back dozens of stones, large and small, in strange shapes. That night, Xiao Tianyao went out again, this time what he was looking for was not water but rocks.
Also, in order not to disturb the people in Stone Town, Xiao Tianyao did not directly steal stones from the Stone Temple, but went all over the stone quarries in Stone Town, picking the stones he needed from the abandoned stone quarries.
The stone quarries in Stone Town were scattered. No matter how fast Xiao Tianyao was, when he finished running all the quarries, the sky would soon be dawn.
In order to get out of the city today, Xiao Tianyao did not turn back to Rongrong's house, but proposed to send a signal to notify Lin Chujiu, and then took the stone and waited for Lin Chujiu directly at the city gate.
Lin Chujiu is not a delicate woman. Although she brought a patient and a child, it did not affect her speed at all. As soon as Xiao Tianyao arrived at the city gate, Lin Chujiu arrived with Rongrong and his father.
Seeing Xiao Tianyao's figure from a distance, Lin Chujiu let out a long sigh of relief: "Have the stones been collected?"
They were unlucky today. They met a patrolman on the way. If she hadn't reacted quickly and pulled Rongrong and his father into hiding first, she might have been exposed.
"Well, the person to pick up will be here soon, just wait a moment." Xiao Tianyao took the stone bag in Lin Chujiu's hand, raised his sleeves, and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
"No..." Lin Chujiu was not used to doing such intimate gestures in front of people, and wanted to refuse, but was restrained by Xiao Tianyao: "Don't move!"
The two stood very close and looked at each other, seeing the seriousness and carefulness in Xiao Tianyao's eyes, Lin Chujiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't start, but when he met the fluffy and shiny little eyes, he felt even more. embarrassed.
In order to hide her embarrassment, Lin Chujiu quickly turned her head, her eyes drifted, not daring to look at anyone.
At this moment, Lin Chujiu's eyes fell on the stone building not far away. This stone building is the tallest building in Stone Town, with seven floors, all made of black stones, and the roof is polished from a complete stone, which looks mysterious and mighty.
Lin Chujiu saw this building as soon as he entered the city. He didn't think anything of it before. After all, all buildings in Stone Town are related to stones. It is normal to have a stone building, but tonight Lin Chujiu saw it. Not at all unusual.
I don't know if it was because of the angle of the stand or the moonlight, but Lin Chujiu always felt that this black stone building was unusual, with a faint red fluorescence emerging, very mysterious.
Suspected in his heart, Lin Chujiu said it directly: "Xiao Tianyao, this stone building is unusual."
"Uh?" Xiao Tianyao wiped his sweat for a while, followed Lin Chujiu's point, turned his head to look, and said inexplicably, "What's unusual?" I don't know if it was a problem with the angle or something, but Xiao Tianyao didn't see anything unusual. .
"These stones are very strange, didn't you see the looming red light?" Lin Chujiu said what he saw, but not only Xiao Tianyao, but also Rongrong and his father were blank, saying that there was nothing. See.
"Am I dazzled?" Lin Chujiu was stunned and asked Xiao Tianyao to stand where she was, but Xiao Tianyao still didn't see the so-called red light.
This black stone building was very ordinary in his eyes, and Rongrong followed suit: "Sister... No, it's Auntie. Aunt, there are many black buildings in Stone Town, there are many, many black buildings in the town, look... There are also many black buildings in the town. ."
Rongrong stood on tiptoe hard and pointed into the distance.
It's just that the night is too dark to see anything, but Lin Chujiu believes that what Rongrong said must be there.
Everyone couldn't see it, and Lin Chujiu had to suspect that he had read it wrong, and said unconvincingly, "Maybe I'm dazzled."
Xiao Tianyao didn't like Lin Chujiu's depressed and discouraged appearance. Seeing her unconfident expression, he said, "I'm going to fetch a stone. Maybe there is something abnormal that we haven't discovered yet."
It's just a matter of running around, it's good to make Lin Chujiu happy.
Lin Chujiu originally wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, but seeing that Xiao Tianyao was serious, he didn't say much, just let him go and return quickly.
The black building is not far from where they are, and depending on Xiao Tianyao's ability, it is only a blink of an eye, but I don't want Xiao Tianyao to go for a long time and not come back.
"Why hasn't uncle come yet?" Not only Lin Chujiu, but also Rongrong felt something was wrong: "Are you in danger?"
"Dangerous?" Lin Chujiu's eyes lit up inexplicably when she thought of the mysterious power of Stone Town and the red fluorescent light she had just seen.
She thought, she seemed to understand something...
