Chapter 242: The Secret of Resurrection
The tower is very tall, climb the cliff, walk to the bottom of the tower and look up, there is a feeling that there is no end in sight.
However, the outside of the tower looks dilapidated, some of the walls are also covered with a thick layer of ice, and the broken gate is ajar, so you can't see what the environment is like inside.
Xue Yin directly pushed the door open and entered, it was pitch black behind the door, and there was no one, it glanced back at Chen Chen, and said, "Come in!"
Chen Chen motioned for Su Bing to enter, and Ling Duuning followed, they were cautiously vigilant about everything inside, fearing that danger would suddenly appear.
The first floor of this tower was empty, except for the staircase leading to the upper floor at the back, and the dry firewood on the ground, there was nothing else, not even tables and chairs, and I didn't know what the use of building this tower was on Changbai Mountain.
Xue Yin sat down in the middle and said nothing, as if waiting for something.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the gate was slammed shut, and the force was so great that the whole tower shook because of it.
It was already evening, the light was not enough, and it was even darker in the tower, and now the gate was closed, and they couldn't see their fingers, but fortunately they all had not weak cultivation, and they were not afraid that they would not see anything in the dark.
But such a movement still scared everyone.
"Don't worry, it's just the wind. "Yukiin is very calm, as if he is familiar with this place.
"How are we going to find the bronze gate, and what's the point of coming to this place?" Chen Chen asked puzzled.
"Wait for someone, he should be back soon. Xue Yin said.
Su Bing looked at the first floor curiously for a long time, then walked to the side of the stairs, hesitated and was about to go up to take a look, but Xue Yin immediately said: "Don't go up, the area above the second floor is not allowed, and going up is disrespectful to the owner." ”
Chen Chen had no choice but to say what he said, and he also told Su Bing about it.
Su Bing didn't continue, she walked back and sat next to Chen Chen, and said: "Changbai Mountain is more mysterious than the previous Qingluan Peak, who built this tower here? I can't even see a figure, it may be abandoned here, and no one will come back." ”
Xue Yin understood human language, and said, "It is indeed deserted, there used to be an old monk living here, but the old monk died more than ten years ago, and no one has been here since then, except for us animals." Of course, you two women are the first humans to walk into the tower in more than a decade. ”
After Chen Chen repeated this sentence to Su Bing, he asked suspiciously: "You just said that no one will come here again, so who are you waiting for?"
Xue Yin said mysteriously, "You'll find out later, because he's no longer human." ”
After going up the mountain, Xue Yin also became mysterious.
Although Chen Chen was curious about the tower, he still didn't continue to ask, because he felt that something more incredible might happen later.
As night fell, the sky outside grew darker.
Su Bing had just opened the window, and the wind and snow outside poured in instantly, so she didn't open it completely, leaving enough gaps to breathe in the fresh air.
Su Bing saw that there was dry firewood, so he used it to make a fire, and finally there was light and temperature, although they were not afraid of cold and dark, but the existence of firelight was very comfortable and safe.
"Little cutie, are you hungry?" Su Bing said, she took out a few cans from her body, opened them, and simply heated them for a while, starting today's dinner.
Not long after eating, there was a sudden movement in the wind and snow outside.
Giggles!
There was a knock on the door, and the sound was very gentle, and the person who knocked on the door was not in a hurry.
Chen Chen and Su Bing glanced at each other, both a little surprised, why was there still someone knocking on the door outside?
Xue Yin's mouth said that the person he was waiting for came back?
Sure enough, Xue Yin got up and said, "That old monk is back." ”
Chen Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't the old monk dead?"
Xue Yin didn't respond to this sentence, and it went to open the door first.
Chen Chen walked behind it, and heard the sound of "squeaking", which was soon masked by the sound of wind and snow howling outside.
As the door opened, Chen Chen could see an old monk standing outside with a bare head and wearing a tattered monk's robe, his thin clothes as if he was not afraid of the cold.
When the old monk saw Chen Chen and Xue Yin, he saluted with one hand and smiled kindly.
In his other hand, he carried a horse lantern, which shone like a firefly in the dark world.
"Is it really an old monk?" Chen Chen said in surprise.
"Old monk, do you remember me?" Xue Yin suddenly laughed.
"Xue Yin, old friend, we haven't seen each other for many years, I didn't expect you to be here, it's great!" The old monk actually understood the language of animals, walked in at this time, closed the door to block the wind and snow outside, and put down the lantern.
The old monk stretched out his hand and gently touched Xue Yin's head, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Chen and Su Bing, and said, "Xue Yin, here are your friends?"
Su Bing looked at this scene in surprise, she didn't speak, her hand was already pressed on the hilt of the Hidden Blade Sword, and as long as there was any danger, she would not hesitate to draw the sword out of the sheath and kill it.
As for Ling Duning, she didn't seem to understand anything, her eyes widened and she looked ahead, she didn't feel the killing intent, and she didn't make any movements.
Chen Chen said: "Xue Yin, didn't you say that the old monk here is dead? Who is he?"
The old monk laughed: "Death is also a way of life, although the body of the poor monk is dead, but he lives in this world in another way, but if you really want to worry about the problem of life and death, the poor monk is no longer human." ”
Xue Yin also smiled: "Old monk, don't play meditation here, we don't believe in Buddhism, come in and sit here!"
The old monk nodded and was about to walk towards the fire, but Su Bing drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at him, and questioned: "That leopard said you were dead, and you also said that you were not human, so you are a ghost?"
Although he had achieved success in cultivation, Su Bing was still a little afraid of ghosts, and in the small village below Qingluan Peak, the ghost of the old man scared them all half to death.
"The poor monk is a human being or a ghost, it's all in your thoughts, what do you think is what it is, why be so persistent? Even if the poor monk is not a human, he won't hurt people, right?" The old monk had already sat down, as if he couldn't see the golden sword.
Chen Chen jumped up and pressed Su Bing's hand, signaling her not to mess around, and then she put away her sword.
Seeing that the old monk was no different from an ordinary person, and thinking of what Xue Yin had said, Chen Chen was even more curious about him.
"You read and heard it right, the old monk is indeed dead, more than ten years ago. But what you see now is still the old monk, he just survives in another way, but he will never be separated from Changbai Mountain, otherwise he will really die. Xue Yin still explained.
"Changbai Mountain is big, bigger than the world, the poor monk has been traveling here, and one day the poor monk is tired of staying here, and then go down the mountain, end this life. The old monk smiled, life and death were too much for him.
Chen Chen watched the old monk in front of the fire, took out a steamed bun and ate it with relish, he still had a shadow under the firelight, he should really survive.
But in what way to live, he is not human again?
Chen Chen couldn't help but think of what the big wolf dog said when he was down the mountain, open the bronze door, and it will come back to life.
Resurrection, is it related to the Bronze Gate?
