"Don't touch me. ”

Xia Xiao slapped Ah Candle's hand, making him almost cry.

Holding his pig-like hands, Ah Candle stomped his feet angrily.

"You're going to die!"

She felt that today was too cost-effective, so she was angry all the way for a meal. Xia Xiao was drunk, walking staggeringly, walking very slowly, Ah Candle wanted to help him go back quickly, but Xia Xiao just didn't let her touch it, it was really a stubborn cow. No, it's a stinky stone in a pit.

kicked Xia Xiao's buttocks, and when he saw him fall to the ground, Ah Candle was relieved.

"Leave it to you, aunt and grandma, I'll go back by myself!"

Ah Candle snorted and walked forward angrily. But after waiting a few steps, she stopped again, because the streets were too dark, and she was afraid, not knowing what monsters and evil things would come out of those small alleys. But looking at Xia Xiao, he got up slowly, his pace was still very slow, and it was disorganized.

"Oh, I beg you, I want to sleep, go faster!"

Ah Candle was fierce Xia Xiao, but the latter was red-faced, and he didn't know what he was talking about for a long time. Ah Candle had no choice, scolded all the way, and then arrived at the inn together.

"I'm really convinced of you, what kind of wine to drink, I'm really sick. ”

When Ah Candle closed the door and locked it, he was about to continue scolding, but Xia Xiao suddenly lost his drunkenness, regained his previous calm in the room with the curtains drawn, reached out and patted his buttocks and clothes, and shook off his dust.

"You ......"

Ah Candle pointed at him, blinking his eyes full of confusion, but Xia Xiao just fetched water to wash and dropped a stupid word. Under the candlelight, Ah Candle supported his waist with both hands, shouting Who is stupid? And he raised his little hand to seek justice, but Xia Xiao must have done these things for a reason. Although he didn't drink a thousand glasses and didn't get drunk, he drank fake wine several times in Longgang, and it wouldn't be too bad to drink real wine.

"Somebody is following us, we have to behave normally. If you want them to relax their guard against us, getting drunk is a good way, and people who are easy to get drunk are not deep. ”

"Then why are you hitting me?"

Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders, as if he was also planning. But he just didn't want Ah Candle to touch him, and Ah Candle was too stupid to know how to cooperate at all, and scolded all the way.

"My hands hurt. ”

Xia Xiao, who was about to lie down, heard Ah Candle's aggrieved voice, so he couldn't bear to get up, frozen the water in the basin into an ice ball, wrapped it in a layer of cloth and handed it to her.

"You have a conscience. ”

Ah Candle wrapped herself in a rice dumpling, leaving only her little hands outside, she didn't dare to sleep with ice cubes. It's not early, Ah Candle fell asleep quickly, but Xia Xiao didn't, he was thinking about the accuracy of getting the news, Qing Ye'er didn't have a reason to lie to herself, but that tower, would it really be that woman's hiding place?

This kind of search is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is somewhat unreliable, but the predecessors have found traces of her here, even if it is weak, there is a certain possibility.

Tonight passed quickly, the next day, Xia Xiao didn't set off immediately, she felt that Qingye'er would wait for her by the tower, he didn't want to run into her again, so he stayed at the inn with Ah Candle all day. That night, the two of them flew into the sky with their bags.

Ju Mang carried Ah Candle and flew over the palace with Xia Xiao who spread his wings. There is a strong man's aura floating in the air, if Ah Candle is not there and can't hide the breath, they will soon be defeated.

The petals in the palm of the hand still did not react, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang descended to the palace again, and the result was the same, before they went to the tower by the palace.

The tower is fat and wide, not too high, only four floors, shorter than the surrounding walls, which is why many people find it mysterious because it is not visible at all. Even if there are many people who have lived in Yu Valley for decades, they don't know that there is a tower in the wall, and those who know the tower don't know what is in it.

The wall has no door, only falling from a high place, and this alone has stopped countless people and only given the cultivators a way, which seems to be deliberate.

The outside of the tower is dilapidated, the tower skin is turned out, and a few pieces fall from time to time, I don't know how the inside is.

There is a dry meadow on the side of the tower and in the wall, these dead grass has been dead for I don't know how long, and when Xia Xiao and Ah Candle stepped on it, it turned into powder, and with the light wind at night, it circled in the wall, and finally piled up in the corner of the wall, becoming extremely high.

Jumang, who had just landed, flew into the air again, flew to the top of the tower, his claws clenched weakly, and his eyes looked around. This tower has no guards and no strong breath, and it stands here like this, which makes him feel strange. And Xia Xiao and Ah Candle have walked into the tower.

"Stand behind me. ”

The backpack was thrown outside, Xia Xiao lit a flame in his left hand, which became a moving torch, and his right hand held a bandaged Pu knife, as if he could break the scabbard in the next moment, show his edge, and kill everything in front of him. Ah Candle was afraid of the dark, and he had no power to restrain the chicken, so he could only pull Xia Xiao's clothes and look around in a panic.

Kicking the rusty iron lock aside, a clanging sound made Ah Candle scream, but Xia Xiao just closed the door and said:

"Don't make a fuss. ”

Ah Candle retreated, even if there was a flame, he couldn't see anything around him.

"Can I go out? I'll wait for you outside. ”

"No, just in case, you'll have to follow me. ”

It was pitch black all around, and the air was still full of dust, Xia Xiao could hold his breath, and Ah Candle coughed non-stop.

"Cover your nose. ”

Ah Candle is not stupid, she naturally knows, but it is difficult to breathe while covering her nose. Such a large tower, there is not even a ventilated window, it is not too much to describe it with the word "searching"! And the air is filled with a strong smell of rotten wood, like dust that has been sealed for a long time, and it is also a little pungent.

With vitality in his eyes, Xia Xiao was able to see his surroundings clearly. It was empty, no tables, chairs, no broomsticks and dustpans leaning against the wall, just countless cobwebs, as if they had been abandoned for hundreds of years. With such a good location, next to the palace, why not demolish it? It is better to build a stargazing platform than to leave it on hold.

Looking deeper, the ladder up the stairs was broken, and the wood lay on the ground like broken bones. Xia Xiao didn't choose to fly up, but threw the flame in his left hand into the air, turning it into a blazing sun. The flames made a faint burning sound, and Ah Candle under it followed Xia Xiao to the side.

"What's wrong?"

"There was a response. ”

Ah Candle's eyes lit up suddenly, and the look of surprise was difficult to hide. I saw that on the palm of Xia Xiao's spread left hand, the peach petals lingered with a little black gas, although it was very weak, but the dark clouds in the sunny weather were always very conspicuous. But this fluctuation is not enough to prove that the woman is here! But the things on the wall are somewhat attractive.

The peach petals were put away, Xia Xiao made a move with his left hand, and the shadow under his feet changed from long to short, and finally shrank to his feet. The flames outside the fist emitted firelight, removing the fog on the wall, allowing Xia Xiao to see what was on it. This is an ancient fresco, twisted and bent, inscribed with countless lines, like an esoteric curse, so that the old tower cannot collapse, only to suffer here.

Xia Xiao's palm touched the lines, and the almost dry wall fell off the wall skin at the touch, no different from the outside of the tower.

The lines were guided, so that Xia Xiao's palm kept stroking over it. Where the soles of the feet passed, there were also piles of broken wall skins, which were of different colors, like a layer of sugar coating. And what these things fall and reveal is the true face of this tower.

"This tower is about to fall, isn't it?"

Ah Candle watched from behind Xia Xiao, scared because of the gloom around him. Xia Xiao was also a little afraid, because he felt an unpleasant smell, as if he was blinded, or deceived by what he saw in front of him.

It stands to reason that the outside of the tower is more likely to peel off in the wind and sun, even if it is blocked by a surrounding wall. But inside the tower, there is no difference from the outside, what really makes the tower fall off the tower is not natural causes such as wind and sun, but the power in the tower. Xia Xiao felt it, as if there was a power wrapping the tower, like some kind of seal, but was there a white snake under this tower, or was it covered with a river demon?

Xia Xiao couldn't know more, but this wall, like the snow-white lottery area on a scratch ticket, had been torn open. But there is nothing under it, like thank you for your patronage, keep up the good work.

"It shouldn't be. ”

Xia Xiao muttered to himself, thinking that there would be some kind of mystery hidden under these fragile walls, but in the end, there was only an empty joy. As soon as he entered the gate, there were only a few wall skins left on the wall on the right side, and Xia Xiao hammered his fist on the wall, causing all the wall skins to fall to the ground when he trembled slightly. Ah Candle was so shocked that he took two steps back and asked:

"With such a big movement, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"It's just a matter of being caught running, and the luggage is packed anyway. ”

"Isn't it to change your luggage for an inn?"

"I didn't say that. ”

Ah Candle really wanted to spit out the fragrance, but Xia Xiao didn't say anything to herself first, causing her to look like a fool. But no matter how resentful her gaze was, Xia Xiao didn't have time to care about it now, he just lifted his shoes and kicked them off the wall.

The walls were pitch black, as if blackened by smoke, nothing special, and nothing fluctuating. Xia Xiao was a little disappointed, but felt that these murals were not so simple. Although his research on the murals only stopped at the teacher's school, the appearance of these patterns was like a talisman, like a part of the talisman array.

"Take a look outside!"

Ah Candle followed Xia Xiao, lest he be left in the dark, but before they could step forward, the rotten wooden door had already opened by itself, accompanied by an extremely terrifying sound of opening the door.

In the scream, Ah Candle hid behind Xia Xiao, and his hairs stood on end. Xia Xiao was not afraid, but he was startled by Ah Candle's scream. When girls are the most scary, in addition to being coquettish when they ask for something, they don't get the response they want, and they are afraid of being angry when they scream very long, which pierces people's hearts.
