Chapter Ninety-Five: Lights
She walked over to the stone table beside her, reached out and touched the dust on it, and looked at the rest of the room.
"Although the furnishings in this house are very old, they are the result of natural decay, and there are even faint signs of people's activities in those years," she said.
Therefore, the people who originally lived here should have left by themselves, and they did not encounter any natural or man-made disasters. β
Even so, it is not necessarily that this was originally the residence of the Bai family. Bai Xiu said, "If this is really the situation that the master of Ming Shao Island said, there should be a record in the "Book of the Bai Family". β
"What if there's any reason to hide?" Ming Zhichu snorted coldly, and she didn't understand where the nameless anger in her heart came from.
Bai Xiu obviously also sensed the hostility in her words, and immediately changed the topic: "Let's go upstairs and have a look." β
Seeing that he lowered his head and went upstairs, Ming Yuchu calmed down.
She rubbed her eyebrows sharply and said to herself, "What's wrong with me, I'm just a stranger who hasn't been with me for less than a day, and he's wondering who has anything to do with me......"
She followed Bai Xiu upstairs, and saw him standing by the window with his back to her, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
She hesitated there for a long time, and then she pretended to be casual: "I don't know who is the person who set up that quicksand gate?"
If it was the Bai family, it would be understandable, after all, the cave led to the white mound, so it was indeed an effective way to stop the intruders from moving forward.
Of course β
It would make sense if it was the man who set it up, as you mentioned before, he simply cut off the way in order to lead people to the city.
Perhaps that's why the cave we came to was unhindered, and it seems that the most crucial question is back to the purpose of the man who set it up. β
At the beginning of Ming Zhi, he said this and this, but Bai Xiu turned a deaf ear.
The anger in her heart was about to flare up, he suddenly turned his head, pointed out the window, and said with a uncertain expression: "Master Ming Shao, there seems to be a light over there." β
Ming Yuchu's attention was immediately attracted by his words, and she walked quickly to his side, and also looked in the direction he was pointing.
The location of this window is very special, they stand here and have an unobstructed view of almost the entire street.
At this moment, there was a faint light coming from the end of the street, which was completely different from the light from the dome of the stone valley, and it was easy to distinguish.
"Is there still anyone living here?" said Ming Yuchu incredulously.
She stared at the light for a long time, and somehow a throbbing began to grow in her heart, as if a voice was calling out to her from there.
"Ming Shao Island Master?" Bai Xiu noticed her abnormality and hurriedly called out.
Ming Xue came back to her senses at the beginning, but that strange feeling lingered in her heart.
She made up her mind and said to Bai Xiu, "Let's go over and have a look." β
Bai Xiu persuaded: "We didn't see any lights below before, but now it suddenly appears there, it's really a bit strange, it's not a trap, it's better for us to be cautious." β
Ming Yuchu sneered, glanced at him, and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to take the initiative? Now that the clues are in front of you, you have retreated." Hmph, if you don't dare to go, just wait for me here. β
Bai Xiu couldn't help frowning, not because of the sarcasm in Ming Yuchu's words, but because of the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Although Ming Yuchu had always been cold to him, at this moment, the emotions in her words were very different.
"Master Ming Shao, wait a minute......"
Seeing that she was about to go downstairs, Bai Xiu hurriedly blocked her way, and was about to persuade, when a spirit rune wrapped in powerful spiritual power fluctuations suddenly attacked him!
Bai Xiu instinctively blocked the Demon Breaking Blade and avoided Ming Yuchu's attack.
He felt a pang in his heart, the situation was really wrong!
Ming Yuchu never hid her hostility towards him, but she never had murderous intentions eitherβeven if she had mistakenly thought that he was plotting against her.
But just now, the killing intent that erupted from her body made Bai Xiu's heart shocked.
Of course, for him, Ming Yuchu was not an enemy, and what he had to be wary of was why she became like this.
"Look for death!" At this time, her expression was a little hideous, and when she saw him blocking it, she immediately waved a palm.
Bai Xiu didn't dare to take it hard, so she had to take a few steps back temporarily, and she had already rushed downstairs by taking advantage of this opportunity.
She broke down the door and ran towards the center of the ancient city, where the lights were.
Bai Xiu chased after her without hesitation, but her speed was very fast, and he was not her opponent at all when he was seriously injured.
Within a while, he had completely lost all traces of the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, there was no fork in the street, and Bai Xiu chased straight to the end of it.
The center of this ancient city is the same as Hongmengli Town, and in the middle is a small lake, and there is an ancestral hall directly north of the lake, which is also familiar to him.
The slight difference is that there is a stone platform in front of this ancestral hall with a lamp on it, which is the source of the light.
He glanced at it hurriedly, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Where did this Ming Chu go?
Finally, his eyes fell on the open door of the ancestral hall, and he said to himself, "Did she enter the ancestral hall?"
With that in mind, he leaned over cautiously.
Because the light was too weird, and even the sudden loss of consciousness at the beginning of Ming Xue had something to do with it, Bai Xiu didn't dare to get too close, so he simply sneaked to the door against the wall.
It was dark inside, Bai Xiu naturally couldn't rush in, and was groaning, when he suddenly smelled a familiar smell in his nose.
With a movement in his heart, he touched a corner of the stone from the ground, flipped his wrist, and bounced it out with skill.
With a thud, the stone seemed to hit something, and at the same time, a few sparks splashed out of the darkness.
Then the spark flashed, burning higher and higher, as if it had ignited something.
In this dim light, Bai Xiu saw a rather familiar bronze lamp quietly leaning on the lampstand.
Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, the smell just now was indeed emitted by this ever-bright lamp.
But in this way, the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Could it be that this was once a place where the Bu people lived?
As previously speculated, Hongmengli Town was modeled after here?
It's just that I don't know if the Bai family is simply imitating, or if they have a great relationship with the Bu family......
Bai Xiu's cranky thoughts, the ever-bright lamp flickered, and a thin line of fire burned along the side.
The line of fire didn't go far before it shook, and the next moment, another ever-bright light also lit up.
Bai Xiu was not surprised, there must be more than one everlasting lamp in this ancestral hall, in order to facilitate lighting, maybe their owner set up some mechanism, and after lighting one, he could ignite all the others.
Sure enough, soon a third light came on, and then another.
Bai Xiu waited patiently, and not long after, the everlasting lights in the ancestral hall were lit up.
He glanced at it, and was stunned.
The situation in the ancestral hall was unobstructed, and like the Heavenly City, there was nothing in it.
Where did Ming Xue Chu go?
Bai Xiu glanced back at the night behind him, and suddenly felt that this ancient city was a little outrageously big.
With his own strength, it would not be easy to find another person in such a city......
In the end, he sighed secretly, and now it seems that there is only one way left.
He pulled out the Demon Breaking Blade, and was about to cut through the palm of his hand to cast the Soul Command, but found that the first word in his palm lit up at some point.
"This is ......" Bai Xiu looked at his palm, a little unclear.
In the past 20 years, the Ming family has rarely shown up, and Bai Xiu doesn't know much about puppetry, so he doesn't know what Ming did at that time.
But the most important thing at the moment is to find her, if you have any questions, when the time comes, you will naturally be clear.
He didn't hesitate any longer, slashed the Demon Breaker Blade into his palm, and half-knelt down and lightly tapped his blood-stained fingers on the bluestone ground.
"Heaven and earth, lead my soul to go, disease!"
A faint line of blood sprang out from between his fingers, stretching very far in one direction.
Bai Xiu closed his eyes and stared, trying to capture the breath of the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
I don't know how long it took, but the blood line still hadn't come to an end, and just as Bai Xiu was about to give up, it suddenly flashed and disappeared without warning.
What this meant, Bai Xiu couldn't be clearer in his heart, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Even the Imperial Spirit Soul couldn't find her, could this Ming Xue disappear out of thin air?
There was silence all around, and the entire ancient city was like a lifeless tomb, bringing his thoughts into the abyss.
