mirror stand [gl]

When Xie Yaoling and Shen Tang passed by, what they saw was Chen Shi lying on the ground as if in a coma, while Qiu Ran anxiously wanted to pick him up and take him to a place with people.

Since Qiu Ran met her two days ago, Shen Tang still had some impressions.

But Chen Shi...she felt vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw it, so she just stood beside Xie Yaoling and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Xie Yaoling took a brief glance at Chen Shi's soul, saw that there was nothing serious, stepped forward, pinched a few spells in his hand, and slapped him on the forehead——

The person lying on the ground opened his eyes blankly.

His eyelashes fluttered, he looked backwards at the person who was walking up to him, and shouted in some puzzlement: "...Sister Yaoling?"

Before Xie Yaoling could react, the hand on his side pressed the bluestone floor, took out another signal from his pocket, and sent it towards the sky.

It was a signal flare with a unique production process. The family was in charge of making it, and then distributed it to the contestants. As long as they thought they had figured out the answer, they could send it out, and then the judges could rush to the location as soon as possible to listen to his answer.

This will determine the outcome of the first round of competition.

Xie Yaoling has the same thing.

She followed the movement and looked up, and saw the word "Chen" condensed in mid-air, and Qiu Ran beside her also reacted, and asked in surprise:

"Brother Chen?"

Chen Shi looked in Xie Yaoling's direction, as if he was afraid that she would have some way to spy on his body, so he took a half step back, then took out the ID card that he had dropped just now from his trouser pocket, stuffed it Gave it to Qiu Ran.

Qiu Ran was a little puzzled, looked down quietly from the corner of her eyes, and found that many of these documents were the latest second-generation ID cards from before the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present. unchanged...

Combined with the formation about the dragon that he read from the ancient books at home, he also guessed what happened to the people in this town, and when he wanted to send his signal, the end of the alley had already come many people.

In the middle are the oldest Xie Taiji, and an old man from the Wang family, Wang Tai'an.

The elders of the eight great families gathered here to receive the answers.

Chen Shi glanced at Xie Yaoling's direction, and quickly spoke first:

"Including Baishi Village, which was suppressed under the mountain, and this town were cursed by a dragon. The dragon used its own body as an array to suppress all the people in Baishi Village underground for generations and could not survive. The people in this town It was affected by the dragon's breath and became the state of the living dead, which has been unable to get rid of from hundreds of years ago to the present."

After finishing speaking, he added: "I discovered this with Qiu Ran."

Qiu Ran was stunned for a moment, subdued a little bit of surprise in her heart, and looked in his direction with some gratitude.

Shen Tang and Xie Yaoling were also at the scene, and when she heard the answer given by someone else, she tugged on Xie Yaoling's sleeve, wanting her to give the answer too.

There is no first, at least there can be second.

Chen Shi also knew that he and Qiu Ran could be saved, mostly because Xie Yaoling had also come, and he rushed to tell the answer when there were only so few people around, and he also meant to repay Xie Yaoling.

It's just that he didn't know that the other party already had the answer in his heart.

Xie Yaoling was not focused on the game anymore, but when she sensed Xie Taiji's silent gaze, she could only purse her lips, and also took out the signal from her pocket, and threw it into the sky——

The extremely majestic Xie character bloomed in mid-air, and only people of a certain level could see the content condensed by this unique aura. The stroke of the radical in the middle was as sharp as a blade.

It is the Xie family's consistent style.

She followed Shen Tang's wishes and recounted the answer in a neutral manner.

Then, the eyes of the eight elders showed some approval, and they announced: "Chen Shi and Qiu Ran are the first, Xie Yaoling is the second, and they got the content of the second item of the competition."

Chen Shi had never shown his face like this before. When he heard that he won the first place, his jaw muscles tensed up, waiting for the judges to announce the second item.

"Remove the curse-curse of this town and Baishi Village, and let the dead rest in peace."

An elder of the Chen family, who was only in his forties, touched the green stubble on his chin, and said to Chen Shi with a smile.

Apparently, he was very satisfied and happy that his juniors in this competition could find the answer ahead of Xie Yaoling.

Both Chen Shi and Qiu Ran nodded, Xie Yaoling's expression was still as cold as ever, and she couldn't see what was going on in her heart.

After the judges finished explaining and the figure disappeared at the end of the alley, Xie Yaoling raised his chin to the people around him and said:

"Let's go."

Shen Tang looked back at Qiu Ran and Chen Shi again, and then pulled Xie Yaoling's sleeve to follow her away.

It wasn't until he walked a long way on the stone road with some bumps on the surface that there was no one in front or back, that Shen Tang quietly pulled the forged sleeve of the person beside him:

"Old Xie, didn't you just tell the proprietress that this curse-curse is still unsolved?"

Xie Yaoling nodded, expressing that his words are still valid, and he didn't mean to deceive just now.

Shen Tang: "Then—?"

Why does this game ask them to do an unsolvable thing?

Xie Yaoling focused all her attention on tracking down Shen Tang's soul. After listening to her question, she was distracted and thought for a while, then softly said thoughtfully:

"unless……"

Shen Tang looked at her, waiting for her answer to come out of her words.

"Unless the dragon's resentment can be untied, but I have already checked, and it doesn't even have a soul left, only the body that turned into the mountain remains in place."

Xie Yaoling vaguely felt that there was still something she hadn't grasped, but now that she was entangled by Shen Tang's matter, she calculated that things were somewhat less careful than when she had no other distractions.

For a while, she couldn't figure out the answer, so she could only solve Shen Tang's soul problem first, and then think about the competition.

……

After half an hour.

Shen Tang touched the hairs on his arms that were stimulated by the cold wind and the picture in front of him, and comforted them all. He wanted to ask the person standing in front of him if he had an answer, but he was afraid of disturbing him, so he could only shut up. Needless to say, add a cold afternoon tea before dinner.

Maybe it was because of standing for a long time, the creepiness of standing on the grave was gone, Shen Tang was finally able to take a leisurely look at the scenery in his area.

She and Xie Yaoling came to the foot of the mountain that suppressed Baishi Village again.

The chaotic and orderly tombstone erected in front of her, the names, birth and death on it were all in front of her, and after looking carefully now, she realized that the fonts on these were very similar.

As if from the same hand.

It's as if someone knew the situation in this village very well, and then built tombstones for these people who died inexplicably...

Shen Tang was so frightened by his guess that he couldn't help shivering.

She looked up again at the lush mountain in front of her. She had to say that since she knew it was transformed from the body of a dragon, although she didn't find any details related to the legendary dragon from the mountain, the mountain Compared with the clusters of mountains behind, falling so close to the town is a bit abrupt.

Shen Tang tilted his head to look at the mountain, his eyes fixed on a piece of red forest above.

It was a very abrupt tree with red leaves, which was incompatible with the lush greenery around it. The fiery red was particularly eye-catching, and it was the only bright spot on this mountain.

Shen Tang looked at the red color, and thought in a big way:

Is this the heart of the dragon... or is it the eye?

I don't know if this place is too evil, or for some other reason, Shen Tang stood idly in the same place for a while, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.

Seeing a figure that she felt familiar from the bottom of her heart beckoning to her, she moved her footsteps and started to walk there.

In fact, Shen Tang couldn't see that person's facial features at all, and he couldn't say that person's name, it just felt like his soul recognized that person.

Walking involuntarily——

"Ah!" Her head bumped into something, which was so hard that her head hurt a little.

Shen Tang came back to his senses, and raised his hand to touch a piece of black and hard wood. After looking around in a daze, his scalp felt numb. It turned out that she had actually walked to the foot of the barren mountain next to it, to an open grave, and jumped into an empty grave. In the coffin.

But the fact that a living person walked into the coffin was enough to make people panic.

Shen Tang swallowed her saliva, looked left and right, trying to find Xie Yaoling's figure, but the person who would always appear around her at the first time, went somewhere this time.

At the foot of the quiet mountain, she was the only one who faced countless graves.

A gust of cold wind blew from the side, chasing and playing around the back of her neck mischievously, covering her in a cold sweat.

"Old, old Xie...?" She opened her mouth and wanted to call out to the other party, but as if she was worried about alarming someone, the voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

'Boom' and 'Boom' are the sound of something vibrating.

Shen Tang subconsciously reached out to hold the coffin board, looked around like a frightened bird, and found that the mountain behind her was shaking, she swallowed, folded her hands together and bowed to the shadow pouring down like a dome, muttering muttered:

"Long...Brother Long, I am ignorant. Excuse me. You have a lot of big dragons, so don't bother with me."

"After all, I am an ordinary person who is flammable, fragile and explosive-explosive, and I can't stand your sneeze, what do you think?"

Perhaps because of the extreme panic, the somewhat messy words she uttered annoyed the other party, and the mountain shook even more violently.

While Shen Tang complained in his heart that Xie Yaoling was unreliable, he agreed that the dragon had no soul, but what happened to this posture of asking the dragon to turn over?

Mud, boulders, etc. rumbled down from the mountain, including the vegetation and jungle growing on it, and Shen Tang even saw flocks of frightened birds covering the entire sky.

The scene unfolded before her eyes like the doomsday.

Shen Tang screamed in fright, even though she knew it was futile, she still wanted to squat down, as if the half-covered coffin board could help her carry a part of it.

The sound of the mountain collapsing outside was like a huge thunder that could blow the sky open, and it was also like a vibration that could split the earth into a ravine. Even if she shouted at this time, no one could hear her.

The shaking went on for a long, long time before it stopped—

The coffin lid was almost collapsed by the boulders and mounds of earth, seeing that Shen Tang had no hope of climbing out.

Outside the coffin, the loess shaken off from that mountain peak could almost form a cloud of earthy yellow in the blue sky.

After the vibration and collapse effect that caused the eardrums to explode, the world returned to silence.

It was as if the sound of the entire world had been stripped out.

Shen Tang lay on the inside of the coffin board with his head in his arms, and tried to push the top lid with his knees, trying to move it away, but the board didn't move even when he pushed his kneecap to the point of pain.

Shen Tang was a little suffocated, blushing and asked, "Is there anyone?"

"There is a beautiful girl here who is about to be crushed to death, help..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a painful and overwhelmed "squeak" sound, and suddenly a light shone on her side, she raised her hand to block it, squinted her eyes and looked sideways——

A black paw landed on the side of the coffin, with shiny scales, each about the size of her palm.

The diffuse dust scattered from all around, enough for her to see the huge head directly above.

The long dragon beard fluttered in the air, and under the majestic pair of black horns, a pair of fiery red eyes the size of light bulbs were looking down at her direction.

Red like glass, filled with the setting sun in the distance, unexpectedly brewing a little tenderness.

Shen Tang didn't dare to move at the sight of this gigantic monster, and lay stiffly in the coffin, staring blankly at the giant dragon.

For some reason, she had a feeling of déjà vu.

Lying in the black coffin, the half-curled figure stretched out his hand like a ghost. His fingers with well-defined joints and soft skin touched the temperature of the sun in the air, and slowly stretched out to the one on the top of his head that could be swallowed with just one bite. The guy she swallowed whole.

The dragon's body was so huge that even if Shen Tang stood up, he could only reach a small part of its body.

When it straightens up, it can probably go straight into the sky.

But Shen Tang was still attracted and wanted to reach out, maybe because of those beautiful ruby-like eyes, maybe because of that majestic armor, she just wanted to touch it for no reason.

She moved, and the dragon hovering in front of her coffin slowly lowered its head, its crocodile-like front dropped, and its sharp fangs shone coldly to slowly meet her.

For a moment, Shen Tang thought distractedly:

Maybe the gentleness I thought was an illusion, maybe the other party will be so angry that he will bite her off in the next second...

Thinking of this, Shen Tang shrank his hand raised in the air, and raised his palm slightly outward, as if making a gesture of rejection.

At that moment, a little warmth suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Shen Tang froze for a moment.

Her gaze was fixed on her wrist, and she saw a stream of transparent liquid running along her palm, winding past her forearm, and falling down from her elbow.

Then she looked up, and saw that the giant dragon was exactly the same as in the mythology book, and there was obvious wetness emerging from the clear and transparent crystal red eyeballs.

Shen Tang blinked his eyes, inexplicably feeling a little throbbing pain in his heart.

It seems to be able to understand the sadness of this dragon.

She softened her gaze for no reason, propped herself up to sit up, and pulled on the edge of the coffin lid. The jade-white neck showed a slender arc, which was smooth and gentle with the curve of the upper body.

Afterwards, she raised her head and looked at the black dragon in front of her carefully, as if she wanted to find out from her blank memory where she had seen him before.

However, there was no result for a long time, only a sentence whispered between the lips:

"You cry..."

……

"This dragon has only its body here, and its soul is gone. As long as its strength is greater than the remaining energy of its body, and it is completely killed, the last trace of vitality left in its body will be removed. People in this town The wisp of vitality carried on his body will also dissipate, and he will be able to rest in the ground."

A clever voice sounded behind him, it was obviously a beautiful voice, but the content of the words was full of violence.

"Xiao Xie, would you like to come with me?"

There was a bit of laughter in that voice, and after the owner of the voice finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Xie Yaoling.

At this moment.

Xie Yaoling was holding Shen Tang horizontally in his arms. Just now, he brought her to the foot of the mountain to check the situation, but when he found out that her remaining soul was suppressed by the dragon, the other party suddenly fainted behind her. up.

This directly startled Xie Yaoling, not knowing what was wrong with Shen Tang.

As for the condition of the soul—

Because there was a bright mirror stand in between, Xie Yaoling didn't dare to use her own strength to alienate Shen Tang's body, for fear of causing other problems to her who was already lacking in soul.

Right now, he can only vaguely perceive that there seems to be some connection between Shen Tang and this mountain.

She frowned. Originally, she didn't have much impression of such a dragon that would affect innocent people, but now the remaining body consciousness of the other party still has an impact on Shen Tang.

If there is an event——

Xie Yaoling pursed her lips, thinking that this crutch of hers could be considered for a new one.

"Xiao Xie?"

Hearing that she hadn't answered for a long time, Wang Yaoyao's voice sounded again, with a reminder in her tone.

This level seems to be tailor-made for the abilities of the two of them. As long as she is willing to join forces with Wang Yaoyao, maybe she can really solve the resentment left by the dragon and give the people in the town a rest.

And they were also able to tie for the first and second places in this metaphysics conference.

It sounds perfect.

Xie Yaoling thought of Xie Taiji's instructions before coming here, even though she was not willing to join forces with the other party, but the Xie family had already entrusted her, and she never did anything to break promises.

She will catch the handle on Wang Yaoyao sooner or later.

The care was only for a moment, Xie Yaoling's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "Okay."

Just as he agreed, the person in his arms started to move a little bit, and Xie Yaoling's attention was brought back to him.

Shen Tang frowned, and struggled out of the illusion, his voice was a bit chaotic, as if he hadn't reacted yet:

"Thank you...?"

Xie Yaoling breathed a sigh of relief, and agreed, "Well, I'm here, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Tang subconsciously raised his hand to hug her neck, buried his head and rubbed her neck, indicating that he was fine, but what happened just now was still in front of his eyes, and he couldn't recover for a while.

She wanted to say something to Xie Yaoling, but found that they were not the only ones around.

There are also a group of juniors from the Xie family, and people from the Wang family.

In addition, Qiu Ran and Chen Shi, who won the first place in the last round, were both a bit sad.

Shen Tang: "..."

Blatantly acting like a spoiled child, she absolutely can't do this!

Originally, I wanted to pull Xie Yaoling to talk about the scene I saw just like a dream, but now I can only get off of the other party's body.

Since Xie Yaoling had agreed to Wang Yaoyao, he could act in an instant.

The keel stick has already recognized its owner, even if she didn't reach out to grab it, it will automatically surround Xie Yaoling. At this moment, it senses her fighting spirit and intention, and the light shines from the end one by one, as if activated .

Seeing it from afar, Qiu Ran whispered to Chen Shi next to him, "I heard that Xie's family did a lot of research on dragons, and they really did a great job. They even made keel bones into stick joints, and directly used them for juniors like her." .”

With the cooperation of two enemies, Xie Yaoling and Wang Yaoyao, even if other people wanted to contribute, they would not be able to use them.

It's almost like monopolizing the ranking of the competition.

Qiu Ran was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he was not as capable as others, and he didn't know if the dragon's resentment could be easily resolved as Wang Yaoyao said, and whether it could be transferred to the person who broke the curse, so he also Just put up with it.

Just consider yourself here to gain insight.

Hearing his words, Chen Shi looked enviously in his eyes, and looked in the direction of Xie Yaoling: "Xie Taiji is the only one supporting Xie's family. The main family has not had any talent for Taoism for two consecutive generations, and Xie Chengyun, who is of the same generation, even manages entertainment. In the company, only sister Yao Ling is in charge of the big job, she is very talented and can drive the keel, so the resources are naturally allocated to her."

Qiu Ran raised her eyebrows——

Also.

It was a stick joint made of dragon's spine, he hesitated just hearing the curse, why would he have the idea of ​​using dragon's spine as a walking stick?

While the two were talking, Shen Tang heard Xie Yaoling say softly: "Stay away a little bit."

Shen Tang still didn't know what she missed. Under such circumstances, she should hold back from asking, and wait until Xie Yaoling finished the matter at hand.

But for some reason, he was a little flustered, and he didn't retreat. Instead, he held Xie Yaoling's arm and asked:

"what are you going to do?"

Xie Yaoling was a little surprised, and turned his face slightly in her direction, with some sharp lines on his side face like a knife carving.

She has always answered Shen Tang's questions: "Just now someone suggested that I directly smash the mountain formed by the dragon body to break through the formation with strength."

Because Shen Tang is not in the industry, Xie Yaoling didn't explain too clearly, but only told her what he was about to do.

Shen Tang opened his lips again and again, thinking of the black dragon that shed tears to her just now, wondered if the other party had already sensed what was going to happen, so he pleaded with her.

Even the temperature of the tears falling still remained in the palm of his hand.

...Should I tell Xie Yaoling about this now?

Shen Tang hesitated for a few seconds.

Those beautiful glazed red eyes appeared in her mind.

As soon as Xie Yaoling turned around, he heard the person behind him whisper: "Old Xie, I just saw that dragon cry to me."

"I don't want to stop you, because after all, people in a town are still suffering, I just want to tell you."

really weird.

Shen Tang thought, obviously he was not of the same kind, but the sadness he felt from that dragon was so empathetic, it even surpassed the sorrow told by the proprietress.

So much so that after seeing such a realistic situation, I still have to speak for it.

even……

Feeling a little distressed.
