Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked again carefully, only to see that the strokes of these four lines of characters are more detailed and vigorous, which are quite different from the stone carvings of the Heavenly Book in the stone room just now, and it seems that it was done by another person. But looking at the meaning of these words, it seems like the words of an infatuated woman's resentment, but it's really strange how it would appear in the "Blood Dropping Cave", which is the center of the Demon Cult.
She pondered for a long time, but still didn't come up with any results, she shook her head immediately, and was about to give up thinking about it, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw Zhang Xiaofan walking out of the stone room without a sound, at some point, Standing behind him, with a strange expression on his face, both pained and surprised, as if he was still a bit confused, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his muscles were slightly twisted, almost ferocious.
Baguio was startled, couldn't help but let out a cry of "Yeah", and took a step back. The delicate little bell vibrated gently around her waist, making a crisp and pleasant "jingle" sound, which echoed in the cave.
When Zhang Xiaofan heard the sound of the bell, his body shook, as if he suddenly woke up, his face gradually calmed down, but it was replaced by confusion. Just now he was thinking hard about the Tianshu stone in the stone room, suddenly the fire stick in his hand lit up as if awakened from a start, the cold feeling covered his whole body almost instantly, and then, he felt like Subconsciously walked out until he saw the pile of broken skeletons.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the fire stick tied to his left hand, saw that it was still on, glowing with a faint blue light, facing the shattered and fallen skeleton, as if mourning for an old friend.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why he suddenly had this thought, but looking at this skeleton, he felt a little sad in his heart, even though he clearly knew that the person who died here must be an important person in the Demon Cult's Blood Refining Hall, saying Maybe it is the black-hearted old man himself as Baguio said, but for some reason, he just feels a little close to this skeleton.
The fire stick's brilliance gradually dimmed, and returned to ugly black, motionless, but Zhang Xiaofan still stared at the skeleton, and then walked up slowly under Baguio's gaze.
Baguio snorted, stepped in front of him, and said with a sneer: "Although I don't like the black-hearted old ghost, and the sects are different, we are all disciples of the Holy Cult, and we all stand in front of the throne of the Holy Mother of the Umbrella. I swear too seriously, if you want to be rude to his Dharmakaya, I will not agree."
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at him, couldn't help but respond: "He's smashed to pieces now, I'm afraid it's thanks to you."
Baguio's face flushed, but she didn't give in at all, and said resolutely: "Of course I will repent to the Holy Mother Ming, but I will never allow you to be rude!"
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at him, suddenly said: "I didn't mean that."
Baguio was stunned, seeing that his expression was peaceful and showed no hatred, he just felt that this young man from Qingyun Sect seemed to be quite different from those upright people who were full of benevolence and morality, and while hesitating, Zhang Xiaofan walked from his side walked over. She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at him.
Zhang Xiaofan walked in front of the pile of skeletons, and saw the age, the pale bones had a faint greenish brilliance, Baguio's heavy blow just now, the bones below the chest have been scattered, only the skull It is still intact, it landed on the top of all the bones, its empty eyes are facing Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan shuddered, faintly felt that there seemed to be a soul in these eyes, watching him. But he still walked up after all, and slowly stretched out his hands to gather these scattered bones into a pile. The cold feeling was transmitted from the bones, but there was no feeling of fear or fear.
It's like an old friend for many years!
In Zhang Xiaofan's heart, it was like a feeling of relief, a feeling of relief after doing what he should do, although it was strange, but he really had this feeling, and he secretly thought: this fire stick is too weird , if you are destined to go back this time, it seems that you must ask the master.
After finishing this work, he was about to stand up straight, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the place where the skeleton was sitting just now, and because he swept the skeleton away, some handwriting was faintly exposed When I came out, I couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Baguio, who was standing on the side, had been coldly watching Zhang Xiaofan doing these strange things, suddenly heard Zhang Xiaofan's low cry as if he had discovered something, became curious, and walked over, looked there, only I saw a few lines engraved there:
〖The heart is bitter, bear to look back,
Sorry, hard to get along with.
The golden bell is crisp and devours blood,
Life always...〗
When it came to the fourth sentence, the handwriting became weaker and weaker, especially when it came to the third word "Zong", it was even more scribbled and almost indistinguishable. The writer is also powerless to write any more.
In the cave, Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao were silent for a while, both of them faintly felt that between the lines in these two paragraphs, there was probably a sad thing, the woman broke her heart, and the man regretted it in the end.
Zhang Xiaofan was a little preoccupied, although he had never seen this unknown couple, but for some reason, after thousands of years, he was still a little sad to see this unrecognizable relic. On the other hand, Baguio, who was standing aside, frowned tightly, staring at the few lines of words, muttering in his mouth: "Jinling is crisp and bloody, Jinling is crisp and bloody... Jinling? Ah, that's right. , Golden Bell!"
She seemed to think of something, and she let out a cry of joy, her face beaming with joy. Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback by her, he asked in surprise: "What happened to Jinling?"
Baguio seemed extremely excited, with a happy face, said: "It's 'Mrs. Jinling', don't you know?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head blankly, Baguio snorted, gave her a look, and then said happily: "Madame Jinling was a great figure in our Holy Cult thousands of years ago! It is said that she is extremely intelligent, profound in Taoism, and has a great understanding of the holy scriptures Yu Xin created the "Hehuan Sect" in the holy religion by herself, and she is the number one figure among women in my religion!"
Zhang Xiaofan immediately lost interest. Hearing what she said, he knew that Mrs. Jinling was a figure in the Demon Cult thousands of years ago. Women are not good people, but looking at Baguio, she admires Mrs. Jinling very much.
Zhang Xiaofan snorted, did not answer her words, turned around and rearranged the pile of bones that had been messed up for reading, but a strange thought came to his mind: It seems that you are also an infatuated person, maybe it is because of a Die for a woman!
The dead man naturally ignored him, but Zhang Xiaofan thought about it wildly, and unexpectedly became more intimate with this skeleton.
Baguio laughed beside her for a long time, and said to herself: "I never thought Mrs. Jinling would have an affair with this damned black-hearted old ghost. Hmph, it must be the black-hearted old ghost who betrayed his heart. A heartless person deserves to be struck by lightning! It's better to die!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Xiaofan suddenly shouted from the side.
Baguio was stunned for a while, unable to speak for a moment, and it took him a while to react, staring at him for a long time, wondering: "What did you say?"
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan said something, he immediately knew that it was wrong. As a man of righteousness, he unexpectedly defended a vicious demon cult murderer eight hundred years ago. . But at that time, for some reason, I blurted out when I was excited. At this time, Baguio asked me a question, but I was embarrassed and speechless.
Baguio gave him a strange look, suddenly remembered something, immediately forgot about Zhang Xiaofan, grabbed the golden bell around his waist, excitedly laughed loudly: "Ah, then this is Mrs. Jinling's 'Acacia bell'!" While speaking, he quickly turned the golden bell upside down and examined it carefully, and sure enough, on the inner wall of the golden bell, he saw three small characters:
Acacia Bell!
Seeing Bi Yao's happy face, Zhang Xiaofan could barely hold back his breath from laughing, it seems that this is an extremely powerful magic weapon, she got it by accident, he felt uncomfortable, and said coldly: "Have you found a way out? "
Baguio's eyes were full of the little bell in front of him, and he replied casually, "No."
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head, said calmly: "Then you can hold this golden bell and die in this cave."
Baguio was stunned, thinking it was true, the most important thing now is to find a way to escape from here, and asked quickly: "Did you find it?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head silently, the two looked at each other, Bi Yao put away his smile and said seriously: "Then let's find the way first."
At the moment of life and death, Zhang Xiaofan nodded silently. Now the two are working together to search in this tunnel cave, carefully inspecting every wall and every gap, Zhang Xiaofan even ignored Bi Yao's strong objection, and even checked the statues of the two statues of the Virgin of the Umbrella and the King of Heavenly Fiend , but still nothing was found.
When they met again in front of the pile of skeletons and broken bones, they saw each other's frustrated expression, and their faces darkened.
Baguio said shyly, "Could it be that we are going to die here?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, couldn't see his expression clearly, Baguio also fell silent, suddenly, the shadow of death covered their two young lives.
For a long time, in the silence, under the relative silence of the two, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly jumped up, turned and walked away, Bi Yao was startled, and said: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth, said: "I'll look for it again, there must be a way out, we will definitely not die here!"
But in his heart, there is still a sentence that has not been said, echoing for a long time: I will definitely see Senior Sister Linger again, even if I die, I will be buried on the Big Bamboo Peak!
Bi Yao didn't move, just sat on the platform, watching Zhang Xiaofan with a serious face, at this moment of life and death, a strong desire to survive suddenly burst out, and he kept searching.
again.
twice.
three times.
four times.
…
Baguio couldn't remember exactly how many times Zhang Xiaofan went in and out of this stone cave, each time he returned without success, but he was still not discouraged, and he didn't know why his temper was so stubborn, or why he was so stubborn. His desire to survive is so strong, he has been looking for a way out, always, always...
Until, his footsteps began to shake, until he lost his strength, until he walked past Baguio, shook his body, fell down, fell heavily on the ground, and passed out.
Bi Yao stared blankly, as if hesitating for a moment, then walked over, turned him over, checked, and found that there was no serious problem, it was just that he passed out due to overwork and hunger and thirst. Only then did I feel relieved.
But she was stunned suddenly, facing herself, and asked from the bottom of her heart: "Why should I rest assured, why am I relieved that he is fine?"
This thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
She looked at him deeply, the young man's face was haggard due to injuries, hunger and thirst, and even his lips were a little chapped. Baguio gently put him down, stared at him for a while, and said softly, "Since we are destined to die here together, I don't want to be alone too early, at least it's good to have someone to accompany me."
She went out, got some water from the small pool at the entrance of the cave, and brought back some dry food, and wanted to feed Zhang Xiaofan with the water. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofan may be unconscious because he couldn't eat any dry food, but drank some water in Baguio's water bag in a daze, but he still didn't wake up.
After working for a long time, Bi Yao herself was also tired, after seeing that Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be in a stable condition, she gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
※※※
I don't know how long this sleep, Bi Yao just woke up, the first reaction was to look at Zhang Xiaofan just now, only to see that Zhang Xiaofan was still lying there peacefully, motionless, sleeping soundly, so he let go of his heart Come, but couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Why are you like a dead pig!" As he said that, he also smiled, as if looking at this young man, his mood improved, even the boy who was about to die not far ahead. She also temporarily forgot about the coming death.
It's just that she suddenly felt that although Zhang Xiaofan was still sleeping soundly, his face was flushed, something was wrong, she quickly stretched out her hand to check, when she touched it, it was hot, she was startled, she didn't expect Zhang Xiaofan to delay Sick, early not sick, at this juncture a high fever came.
Generally speaking, people in the cultivation way are naturally strong and free from all diseases, but Zhang Xiaofan has been severely injured in the past few days, not to mention mentally and physically exhausted, and his body has also been greatly damaged. In the end, he did not care about his body in this blood hole Desperately searching for a way out, physically exhausted, after passing out of a coma, he developed a high fever.
His illness was really not serious, and his fever did not subside for a long time (in the cave, Biguio did not know how many days passed), Biguio had no choice but to take more cold water to cool him down, but None at all.
Later, Zhang Xiaofan was so hot that he started talking nonsense, Bi Yao was anxious and worried, when he thought that he would have to wait to die alone in this empty cave, he almost shuddered, at this moment it was Zhang Xiaofan A word of nonsense, even a gasp, compared with the horrible days in the future, it is almost like fairy music.
But no matter what Baguio tried, it was just to get more water, in this cave, there is no doctor and no medicine, how can he help, Zhang Xiaofan's condition is getting worse day by day , The frequency of talking nonsense is also increasing.
On this day, Bi Yao was anxiously guarding the unconscious Zhang Xiaofan, suddenly seeing him turn over, the whole body shrunk, and screamed in a daze: "Ghost, ghost, ghost..." Suddenly He gritted his teeth again, "You killed my parents, you killed the whole village, I will fight with you!"
Baguio was startled, hugged him quickly, and said repeatedly: "No, no, there are no ghosts here!"
I don't know if her words had an effect, Zhang Xiaofan gradually calmed down, and the frightened expression on his face gradually calmed down, but what followed was a heartbroken expression. He kept his eyes tightly closed, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, senior sister, don't ignore me, I, I think...don't ignore me..."
Bi Yao was stunned, her heart was suddenly sore, but she didn't know where the courage came from, and said softly: "No, your senior sister is here, she won't ignore you."
A smile appeared on Zhang Xiaofan's face, as if this is the happiest moment for him, he kept saying: "Senior sister, senior sister..."
Baguio looked at his face with a faint trace of happiness amidst the pain, and a trace of pain flashed through his heart.
What kind of person is that woman whom he misses so much, that senior sister who he never forgets even after he passed out
She suddenly remembered that day under the Necromancer Abyss, the female disciple of Qingyunmen holding the blue fairy sword that Zhang Xiaofan tried his best to protect, could it be her
Baguio frowned, she remembered very clearly, that girl was born with a beautiful face, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is so beautiful, no wonder Zhang Xiaofan is fascinated by her! But how smart Ren Biyao is, naturally he doesn't know that what Zhang Xiaofan can't forget is Tian Linger who is still on the Big Bamboo Peak of Qingyun Mountain.
In the following days, Baguio, who had been by Zhang Xiaofan's side all the time, heard more about him from Zhang Xiaofan's nonsense, knowing that he was born in a place called "Caomiao Village", Knowing about the terrible massacre of the village, and knowing that the woman he misses in his heart is his senior sister on the Big Bamboo Peak, but she is still not sure whether this senior sister is the one holding the blue fairy sword that day woman.
However, in the care of Zhang Xiaofan these days, even Baguio herself felt that she had a strange feeling for this boy, staring at his haggard face every day, almost became her only one to pass the boring time. She often stared at him like this for a long time, but she never thought that in the stone room on the other side, there was a classic and wonderful book of the Demon Cult—"Book of Heaven".
Sometimes, after Zhang Xiaofan fell asleep, she would slowly walk to the text left by Mrs. Jin Ling, stare at it for a while, and then softly say: "Madam, it is said in the ancient tradition that you have left a reprimand, the man of the world , are full of heartless people, but have you ever seen that this man named Zhang Xiaofan is really infatuated!"
No one in this empty cave answered her question, but when she turned around, the little golden bell made a clear and pleasant ringing, beside her, in this cave, gently echoing, as if telling wearing something.
It was as if in the dark, that pair of gentle eyes and that lingering ghost stared at them and entangled them.
