Mystery
Chapter 8
"Hey, you've been carrying it for so long, do you know what you're looking for?" Hei Xiazi asked Wu Xie directly.Wu Xie blurted out: "An ancient artifact, it is taken from the heaven and the earth, to spy on the ultimate of all things."
"Then what exactly is it?"
Wu Xie thought he would answer it habitually, but he didn't expect that he couldn't tell what it was.He never cared about what it was, firstly because no one had mentioned it, and secondly because it was different from the beginning, the muddy water was not what he wanted to flow in later.
The black blind man looked at Wu Xie, and seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction: "All things are ultimate, except for its body, it can also urge spirit jade to dissolve bronze. The ancient tree is psychic, its branches are connected to the sky and the roots melt into the earth, and human blood Give it, give it back..."
"Shenguan is a different world. In addition to the ultimate, it can also break the samsara. There are stones in the same strange world, and there are thousands of wounds from the sky. The ghost seal is opened, the horn is rumbling, and the gods and ghosts enter the world. The kings of all dynasties were born in this world. The accepting person, Immortality."
"This 'Shenguan' is a man-made boundary, a bronze gate."
The blind man stopped and let Wu Xie figure out the relationship between them.Wu Xie knew from his words that there were bronze sacred trees, meteorites and bronze doors hidden here, but he had only seen one so far.According to Heixiazi, this bronze door must be what they were looking for.
"What does that have to do with the scorpion?" Wu Xie was slightly puzzled as she played with the beads.
"This scorpion pattern is the mark that the Zhang family will have on the personal belongings of every Zhang family who knows the secret of the ancient artifact. The Zhang family is also divided into inner and outer clans, and there are also restrictions on status. This bead is from that Zhang family." He fell from his family, it seems that he has a very high status in the Zhang family."
"No wonder he looks world-weary..." Although Wu Xie said bad things about Zhang Qiling, he was always thinking about him for some reason.He was obviously injured, but he always pretended to be calm.
The fat man nodded and shook his head again: "You can't say that. The Zhang family lives in a remote place and deals with inhuman things every day. It's normal to have a weird personality. Think about it, if I put you and a few zongzi together every day." locked together..."
"It's true to say that," the blind man interjected, "but no matter how high the status is, it may not be his own will."
Wu Xie nodded slightly, half understanding.The lit torch made the surrounding temperature rise significantly, Wu Xie finally felt the chill on his body dissipate a bit, but the blind man took the torch and hurried out, telling them to follow.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xie couldn't help but tense again.
"The torchlight is too bright, too conspicuous. I'm afraid his warning to you will come true if we don't act."
The black blind man extinguished the torch while running, Wu Xie and the others followed his footsteps and started running.They ran slower and slower, not because they were tired, but because the sound of their footsteps began to change.
Wu Xie just wanted to take out the Ye Mingzhu, but found that not only the sound of footsteps had changed, but also the sound of the footsteps was wrong.
There is water, and they seem to have stepped into a very shallow pool now.
The footsteps in front stopped, and Wu Xie also stopped and stood in the pool.The cold water hurt his ankles, the fire came on again, and there was another person beside him.
"Xiaohua!" Wu Xie looked at the man, his surprise was beyond words.
"Wu Xie! I thought it's good that you're... fine." The man was also overjoyed when he saw Wu Xie and Fatty.
The person Wu Xie called "Little Flower" was Xie Yuchen, who was also called "Xie Yuhua" in Taoism.He learned opera from the famous actor Er Yuehong since he was a child, and he has become a blockbuster in Liyuan many years ago with a mere piece of music.He was also born in a family of tomb robbers, and has always been on good terms with the Wu family. He and Wu Xie have also known each other since childhood.
"You secretly called me to help, and you disappeared first." He blamed Wu Xie with a smile. His naturally slightly chestnut half-long hair covered half of his cheeks. If it weren't for wearing armor, it would really make people feel This is looking at the soft and moving him on the stage.
"It's a long story," Wu Xie said helplessly, "What's the matter with you?"
"I listen to you, I followed the army far away, probably a few miles later than you," Xie Yuchen recalled slowly, "When you arrived, you didn't know how long you had been in, and I heard someone behind me in the distance. The sound of galloping horses, I hid in the grass. I didn’t expect that people wearing the same armor as you came. They came in a hurry, and they didn’t realize that there were people around, so they hurried into the cave. I thought your team was delayed on the road It's gone, but I didn't expect that I didn't find you in the whole long dragon..."
"After they went in for a while, I followed them lightly, only to find that several of them had died at the entrance of the cave, and there were still many mummified things lying on the ground. Looking at the purple skin, I guessed it should be Xianshui, It's the kind of ferocious and threatening fairy slough."
"It turns out that group of things still have such great power..." This is different from what Wu Xie saw from the family ancestor's collection. It was recorded that Xianshui had no offensive power. He had also doubted this in his heart before, but he also Hard to say there will be a change.
"An old friend?" Hei Xiazi has been standing not far behind the three of them. To be honest, he is still very conspicuous, but he seems to have been forgotten.
"Ah, yes... this is a black blind man, a master I know..." Wu Xie felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Yuchen didn't like him at all when he saw the smirk on his face.Coupled with the fact that the current situation is uncertain and risks are everywhere, even if Wu Xie trusts him, it is still an obstacle in his heart. "My humble name is not worth mentioning, it's good to have seen it." He didn't want to reveal his family background, so as not to cause trouble.
"..." The black blind man could only smile, but the taste of the wry smile was quite full.
The water flowed slowly under their feet, what did it bring, and what did it take away?
After exchanging pleasantries, it's time for people to calm down.After exiting the icy running water, they realized that their feet were numb from the cold.
Wu Xie didn't ask Xie Yuchen any more after the blind man approached them.In the past, he trusted Hei Xiazi a lot, but now that he came so strangely, people had to be suspicious.
"Fatty," Wu Xie called to the fatty who was still in the water, "it's time to come!"
"Don't be so loud!" Xie Yuchen knocked him hard on the head.Wu Xie shut up and gestured to the fat man, but seeing the fat man seemed to be looking at something, he motioned for them to go there later.
"What's wrong?" the blind man asked.
Wu Xie shook his head: "I don't know, why don't we go first."
The fat man was standing in the depths of the diving pool.The seemingly close distance, but everyone walked for a while.Walking on the straight avenue feels like there are a few bends.Only when Wu Xie got closer did he realize that there was a waterfall in front of the fat man.
The water flow of the waterfall is very slow and the height is not high. It is better to say that it is a water curtain than a waterfall.The fat man's expression was thoughtful, Wu Xie asked him what he saw, and the fat man's tone became heavy:
"We walked through one of these waterfalls to get to the Rift. But... I'm pretty sure I haven't been here..."
"You really remember correctly?" Although Wu Xie asked like this, she was sure that something was wrong here.
"Otherwise, let's search separately," Xie Yuchen looked at the surrounding canyon. "This is a ring-shaped valley. I guess we can meet up in the end."
Wu Xie can't make a decision: "If you want to split up, you can't make a hasty decision. After all, we are at a disadvantage here."
"There's no time," the blind man agreed to Xie Yuchen's proposal, "Wu Xie, you know your physical condition, and you don't even dare to take a nap now. If you drag it on, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
The fat man glanced at the blind man and said, "How about this, I will go to the right with this master, naive, you and Hua'er will go to the left."
"Isn't it more reliable for you to protect Wu Xie?" The blind man whispered, fearing that Jie Yuchen might misunderstand.
"Why, do you despise me, Fat Master, or look down on Master Hua?" When the fat man heard this, he insisted on going with the blind man.
The blind man still smiled and had nothing to say.Wu Xie took a look at Fatty, and reconciled Xie Yuchen to take a step ahead.
"Is it really okay?" After walking away slowly, Xie Yuchen asked Wu Xie, "I don't think that 'Master' is very trustworthy."
"That's why the fat man chose to follow him," Wu Xie lowered his voice, "and we have to be careful. Before leaving, the fat man gave me a sign. The reason why we split up is because this cave is very dangerous. If we leave If you go the wrong way, you may lose your life."
After hearing this, Xie Yuchen disagreed: "Do you know which is the right way?"
Wu Xie shook his head, Xie Yuchen almost wanted to beat him to death. "You don't know that you still..." Xie Yuchen's anger was obvious even under his soft voice.
"I don't know, but Fatty knows," Wu Xie pretended to beg for mercy, "According to the last hint, they seem to have blocked the water flow in front of the cave. Look up..."
Xie Yuchen looked up and found that there was a thick fog above his head.Under the interweaving of twilight and darkness, the thick fog is like a dark cloud, extending to an invisible end.
"It is estimated that it can lead to the outside. I don't know exactly how many rocks are on the fog. But it is obvious that the running water here comes from a mountain river on the mountain."
Xie Yuchen nodded, and started to speed up with Wu Xie.After running for a while, they saw the cave that the fat man said.
"So smooth," Xie Yuchen said in surprise, "Is there really nothing along the way?"
Wu Xie shivered as he looked at the dark cave in front of him and the mist rising from all around.What greets him is always the unknown, and what is given to him is always the unknown.
The fat man and the blind man were almost speechless all the way.
The black blind man looked very calm, but the fat man was not at ease.It wasn't that he was worried about Master Hua, nor was he worried about the people around him, but he was thinking about Zhang Qiling.
The torch illuminated the water around him very clearly, and the running water was mixed with a trace of blood.There was a lot of blood, and there was already a faint smell of blood in the air.It doesn't look like many people have been stationed here, it should be the blood on Zhang Qiling's body.
"You don't have to doubt me," the blind man said first, "I will never do anything to Wu Xie."
"I've heard too much from you people," the fat man rolled his eyes at him, "Switching concepts is what you like to do most."
"Even if it's not for Wu Xie, or for myself, I won't do anything to you." Hei Xiazi's tone was serious.
"Why..." Fatty hadn't finished speaking when some scattered gravel fell from the front of the road. He jumped from the waterfall and stood firmly in front of them.
"It really is you." The guess in Fatty's heart matured a little bit.Zhang Qiling stared straight at the fat man, not paying any attention to the person next to him, the indifference in his voice made one undeniably familiar: "Where are they?"
"The other side." Fatty pointed to the opposite side, just about to start a routine, but Zhang Qiling grabbed him by the collar: "You know, it's very dangerous here."
"I've already walked that road," the fat man backed away, "Although it's still dangerous, it's already the most sure choice." After finishing speaking, he silently looked at a cave beside him.There was a great green glow behind the waterfall, and he knew, of course, what was in there.
Zhang Qiling followed his gaze: "Some dangers are not judged by numbers."
"This one... speak well..." The blind man tried his best to regain his sense of existence.Zhang Qiling looked at the blind man, and the hostility in his eyes became heavier.He didn't say anything more and let them go. It is estimated that this group of people would not survive this.
"Then what exactly is it?"
Wu Xie thought he would answer it habitually, but he didn't expect that he couldn't tell what it was.He never cared about what it was, firstly because no one had mentioned it, and secondly because it was different from the beginning, the muddy water was not what he wanted to flow in later.
