Chapter 200: Behind the Scenes
To be honest, Bai Xiu couldn't remember what his mother's handwriting looked like for a long time, so he could only look at the year of the paper, but now that the forgery technology is so superb, it is estimated that it will be in vain.
He sighed and put the letter in a waterproof bag to see if he could identify it.
He rummaged through the stone box again to make sure there were no other clues, then put it back in its original place, turned and walked out of the room.
Outside was a straight hallway, and there seemed to be a light coming from the other side of the hallwayβthe ground was still inhabited.
He leaned over cautiously, and saw an octagonal place outside the size of a playground, with a lamp lit on each side, and the snow-white light shone on the place that looked like a well in the center, which was very strange.
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Xiu walked over slowly.
Suddenly, a strange smell came to my face, like the smell of the decaying corpse of some animal after death.
Bai Xiu's heart sank, and he took three steps and two steps and went straight to the well, the stench kept coming, and he also saw the situation in the well.
It was filled with corpses, and the rotting flesh hung on the white bones of the forest, feeding countless maggots to swell, and they kept wriggling, rising and falling like a flickering thief light.
Bai Xiu forcibly endured his disgust and carefully observed, although these corpses were already decaying, Bai Xiu still recognized that they were all female.
There is no doubt that this made Bai Xiu think of a possibility, could it be that this is the place where the Heaven of Robbery was fed to the Spirit Pagoda?
Maybe they should have come here in the first place, but somehow they accidentally went to the secret place where the Golden House was located.
The water in the well churned slightly, revealing a tattered face, which was somewhat similar to Wen Lang, perhaps her mother.
How sad it is that not only her mother, but these girls, all of their age like flowers, were thrown into this well, dying of despair, and even their bodies became food for insects.
He felt he should do something for them, but he couldn't do anything.
"Reckless Spirit Tower, Robbery Heaven, we must find out what the hell is going on......" Bai Xiu made up his mind in his heart, and cleaned up the corpses one by one and carefully placed them nearby.
One day, their relatives would bring them back and let them be buried in peace, and that day, he thought, would not be too far away.
Soon the well returned to its previous clarity, and Bai Xiu didn't care about the stench, took a deep breath, and jumped into the well.
This well is really very deep, Bai Xiu has been going down, sinking straight for almost seven or eight meters, and then he saw that the bottom suddenly opened up, and it was actually an underground lake.
Bai Xiu also gained experience, swam along the current, and finally got into a dark hole.
Before he ran out of breath, he felt a sudden light on the top of his head, and he immediately used his hands and feet together, and soon surfaced to the surface.
His heart was beating violently, something he hadn't experienced before. He always felt that something was quietly changing since he woke up.
But there was no time to think about it at the moment, he calmed his breath and looked up, it seemed to be a corridor facing the river, ten meters long, with an arch in front and back.
Bai Xiu climbed ashore and walked in the direction of the upstream.
Behind the arch was still a corridor, and five meters away it turned in a direction and went to the right, and the river split in two, one straight and the other to the right.
Bai Xiu chose to follow the road, and soon it turned again, and the river also changed, zigzags, and turned a dozen times before it came to the end.
And the end is nothing else, it is a door.
It was a stone door, blue all over, with no pattern or decoration, and it seemed to have been hastily installed before it was finished.
Inexplicably, Bai Xiu felt a pressure, he held his breath and pushed the door open with force.
A hot breath came to his face, Bai Xiu was startled, and when he looked closely, it was a hot spring surrounded by clouds and mist.
He walked in, and the heat rose with the vapor, as if there was still a lot of room on it.
Bai Xiu's heart moved, squatted down and probed with his hands in the water, and sure enough, like Si Yantan, the temperature of the water was not high.
This hot air is not evaporated by hot water, but by a supreme yang aura escaping from it, heating the air, and then condensing into a mist with the cold water.
"Could it be that the Spirit Pagoda is still under this pool of water?" Bai Xiu's thoughts raced, and he finally decided to take a risk.
He clearly felt that his physical strength was running out quickly, and if he didn't take advantage of it now, he was afraid that he would never have a chance again.
He tightened his grip on the Demon Breaker and stepped on it carefully.
The pool water was so cold that it almost froze him, Bai Xiu took a deep breath and dived in.
Originally, he thought that the light under the water was dim and he couldn't see anything, but he didn't expect that there was a glimmer of light at the bottom of the lake, like a bright light, guiding him forward.
Suddenly, something flashed not far away.
"It's like a ...... of a person"
Bai Xiu's mind changed, and he hurriedly swam over there - according to his previous experience, this was not a difficult task.
However, what he didn't expect was that, as before, his heart was beating like it was going to explode.
Soon the water poured into his mouth and nose, and in the last moments before he lost consciousness, he saw a black crack on the back of his hand quickly wrap up.
He...... Going to die?!
Bai Xiu didn't know how he woke up, as if his consciousness had suddenly descended, and it was only a few seconds from coma to awakening.
It was an ordinary room in front of him, so ordinary that he thought he had returned from the underground.
However, the darkness outside the window told him that it was not that simple.
He couldn't help but look at his hands, his skin was fair and flat, as if what he had seen before was only his hallucination.
He found that he was becoming more and more unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and perhaps the boundary between reality and dreams was not so clear.
The door creaked open, and a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Brother Bai Xiu, you finally woke up!"
It turns out that she already knows her identity......
Bai Xiu looked at Wen Lang and walked over with a smile, almost thinking that there was also a Siyantan Village here.
She was followed by Zhang Tianshou, but his expression was not as chic as before.
Even if the previous Zhang Tianshou was pretending to be Fang Xuanxi's companion, his personality was naturally the same as himself.
"You shouldn't have come. The first thing he said when he saw Bai Xiu was, "You don't have the ability to solve the problem of the Soul Pagoda now." β
Seeing that he had no way to hide it, Bai Xiu simply asked straight to the point: "What's going on with the Lingling Tower?"
Zhang Tianshou said silently: "Twenty years ago, someone sneaked in here and removed the Yin Core of the Lingling Pagoda. β
He explained, "Presumably, that imposter has already told you that the Spirit Pagoda is a super spiritual body formed by the mutual tempering of the two forces of yin and yang.
It is divided into nine layers, four layers of yang, four layers of yin, and the top layer is the transformation of the two cores of yin and yang, and twenty years ago, someone stole the yin core!"
He looked at Bai Xiu and said reproachfully: "You shouldn't care about the affairs of Siyantan Village, the supply of Yin Yin is insufficient, and the Lingling Pagoda will fall, and at that time, I don't know how many people will die because of it." β
Bai Xiu was speechless, he had actually thought about this question a long time ago, but he didn't give an answer at that time.
Now he knew that everything he was doing was wrong.
Seeing that he was gloomy and haggard, Wen Lang immediately comforted: "Things are actually not that bad, the imbalance of yin and yang is also a process, there are still a few days, we will definitely be able to figure out a way." β
Bai Xiu smiled bitterly, and finally mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Tianshou, "Can I do something to make up for it?"
Zhang Tianshou sneered, glanced at him and said, "Raise your body first, don't you know that your body has reached its limit?"
"How could it be ......" Bai Xiu's heart sank, could it be that he had suffered some fatal injury when he didn't even know it?!
Both of them could see his doubts.
Wen Lang couldn't bear it, looked at Bai Xiu, and finally set his eyes on Zhang Tianshou.
Bai Xiu was so meticulous in her observation that she naturally saw her hesitation, so she said to the latter: "Brother Zhang, do you know anything?"
Zhang Tianshou frowned tightly, and finally seemed to have made a decision, sighed and said, "You probably don't know, you are dead." β
"I'm already dead?" Bai Xiu couldn't react for a while, frowned, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Tianshou said angrily: "It's literal, you died, at least you died once not long ago." β
Bai Xiu still looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't I fine, if I'm already dead, then what's going on with me now?"
Zhang Tianshou said coldly: "Because someone resurrected you."
You know, people have a body, and they also have three souls and seven spirits, if the body's functions suddenly stop, after a long time, the soul will leave and return to Huangquan Biluo.
At that time, your body has already lost its breath, and when your soul is about to leave, someone has infused a special spiritual power into your body, which repairs some of your body's functions, so your soul returns to your body again.
At that time, because the connection between the two was broken, the power of your soul could not be transmitted to the body intact, so your body was much weaker than before. β
"Could it be ......," he remembered, from a dream he had had before.
No, it's not a dream, it should be that he really experienced it, but at that time he was mentally and began to be in a trance, and he didn't remember it clearly.
In this way, that blood is the special spiritual power that Zhang Tianshou said.
He remembered that face was exactly the same as his, and that person must have been the one who pretended to be him in the Evil Tower, and he was also the companion of the fake Fang Xuan.
He remembered his previous doubts again, what are these people, what are they here to fight for the fragments of the Raiding Life Ding?
But there seems to be no hostility towards him.
In other words, at that time, in addition to him and Fang Xuanxi, there were two other organizations, one was fake Fang Xuanqian and them, and one was affiliated with that madman.
This man knew everything he was doing, and he could never have done it alone.
He couldn't help but wonder if that madman was so vicious, could they be the ones his mother was talking about?
Behind him, does the one who chases behind him count as behind?
