Chapter 186: Strange Path
Qingzhou City back mountain, halfway up the mountainside is a dilapidated temple, after many years of wind and sun has long been unable to see the appearance of the past, I don't know how the original existence of a temple in Qingzhou City became the current field, in the early years can still see the fifteenth day of the first year of the old man will go up the mountain to light incense and worship,
But in the past ten years, the temple that has never even left its name seems to have been forgotten by time, and with the passage of time, the courtyard that has been unattended has been consumed by time into a small abandoned mud courtyard.
In the last few years, the children of Qingzhou City love to run here, catch crickets in the mountains, or meet a rainy day, run here to carry the rain, it stands to reason that there will be a few Bodhisattvas if it is a temple, and there should be some monks and the like, but this temple is not a one,
Even the name has been forgotten, and even the old people in Qingzhou City can't call the original name of this temple.
But halfway up the mountain below this temple, there is an entrance that is seven or eight meters wide, which is called the entrance of the underground palace Yongdao by others.
It is nearly three meters high, and when you look inside, it is indeed dark and there is no light.
The ground of the Yongdao is also paved with cyan stone slabs, but it looks like some years, there are many gray and white traces on it, there is a large stone tablet at the entrance of the Yongdao, it is about one meter and a half, this group of junior warriors who lined up to walk in trembling inside wanted to walk in to see what was written on it,
But the stele seemed to have been treated, only a cross and a three characters were faintly visible.
A cold wind came from the Yongdao crossing, which was not clear, and everyone couldn't stop shivering, and one by one they were a little hairy, but the huge team lined up, even if they retreated in their hearts, no one was willing to turn around and leave.
Chu Jingjue was also following the team, followed by a high-ranking official with a big grin, he didn't care, and he couldn't help but roar forward a few times, "Don't grind and chirp in front, if you can hurry up, go quickly, if you are afraid of the dark, come up to the back, and you will participate in any martial arts meeting." β
The words shouted by this high-ranking official caused a burst of laughter and muttering, but on the side were the Futu cavalry standing with spears in their hands, all dressed in armor, and even their eyes were cold, and they didn't dare to speak loudly one by one.
Chu was shocked to walk forward with his head down, and when he passed by Han Li, he didn't dare to look back at the old man with a stiff back, but he could see that the old man seemed to have been staring at him a few times, and then turned his head away, as if he didn't know himself at all.
Han Li put his hands behind his back with a weird smile on his face, looking at the long procession, squeezing his little eyeballs and rolling around, when he saw the dodging young man, he did pay more attention to it, but his eyes flashed, as if he didn't know Chu Jingjue,
Walking in front of Han Li's eyes, he walked far away, and he didn't look back and deliberately glanced at it, Chu was shocked to just feel that Han Li was indeed Han Li who had fought with him in the Assassin Mansion, even the circulating qi on his body was the same, but it seemed that the qi coming out of Han Li's body seemed to be illusory and ethereal, which made people unpredictable, because he couldn't capture Han Li's true qi at all, as if he was facing a shadow,
In short, Chu was shocked to feel this feeling in his heart, when he saw the blue light and steaming cold air attached to the old man's body, he suddenly thought that Han Li was the Heavenly Destiny Talisman Martial Spirit, and that blue light was not the ice talisman that slapped on his body before.
He was just a little puzzled and curious, why did this Han Li actually have an ice talisman on his heart?
The people who walked in front began to scold with foul language, "It's also dark, what kind of existence is there in front, no one lights a torch, where is this to participate in the martial arts, it's like walking to the grave, it's not just black, it's also very cold." β
At this time, he just heard a crisp snapping of his fingers behind him, but Han Li, who was hunched over, muttered in his mouth, "Fire!"
With his words like an order, the corridor went more than 100 meters from the entrance to the inside, but suddenly flames appeared on the walls on both sides, but it was not a torch burning, but a palm of yellow talisman sticking to the wall with a sizzling sound.
The light suddenly brightened, and the yellow talismans on both sides seemed to be deliberately measured in size, neatly aligned, all the way forward, but the light was very sufficient.
Surprised, he no longer looked at Han Li, who had a talisman on his back, and walked inside with the team.
The entrance is very spacious, but after walking a full hundred meters inside, it is the road that gradually becomes narrower, and it originally gives people the feeling that it is just a flat road, because it is the same bluestone slab as the street of Qingzhou City, which is very flat, and there is no feeling when walking.
From time to time, I stretched out my palm and touched the stone wall on both sides a few times, but I could feel that the stone wall was very slippery and very wet, the wall was black, and under the burning light of the yellow charm, this black wall gave people a claustrophobic feeling, as if walking in the mouth of a big python, giving people a feeling of suffocation and indescribable boredom.
Because it's too monotonous, the front is someone else's back, but there are black walls of the same color on both sides, and there are bluestone slabs under the feet, and there are only three shades in the eye, which brings people an uncomfortable feeling to their eyes.
There was another murmur in front of him, because the crowd walking in front of him became even more impatient, because the road was indeed too long.
There is a time for incense to go out, but there is only an endless road in the four corners, but there is no more scene,
"What the hell is this road, and where does it lead?"
"It's really easy to feel nauseous, it's been enough time to walk a stick of incense, and it's still in this corridor. β
"I thought there would be some special scene in this, it was just a mountain road carved out of the middle of a long stone wall. β
Because the corridor gradually became narrower, the crowd in front of it gradually slowed down, and the entrance of the corridor was originally more than eight meters wide, but after walking on a stick of incense, only one person could stretch out his arms.
Gradually, some people fell behind, sat in place and began to rest, complaining, but when they looked back, there was no light, only darkness.
The yellow talisman was only burning in the direction of the front, but as the flow of people moved forward, the yellow talisman behind it had gradually disappeared, and behind it was pitch black with no fingers visible.
Chu Jingjue was still breathing smoothly, and there was no discomfort at all, but the high-ranking officials on the side had lost patience at this time, although his feet did not stop, but the atmosphere in this corridor and the gradual heaviness of his feet were indeed easy to make people impatient, and the bitterness in his heart was extremely depressed, and the aggrieved emotions came out without opinions.
The high-ranking official put his foot on the stone wall on the side, but the stone wall was very hard, and his right foot was so painful.
Chu Jingjue patted the high-ranking official's shoulder and said in a low voice, " This kind of place is actually much better than staying in the cage, at least it can be in motion all the time, you go forward to see the fire of the yellow charm, and then look back, but it feels like the yellow charm is also moving slowly with us, if it is not for the road gradually becoming narrower, it will give people an illusion, we have not moved at all, but the reality is, we have walked for a stick of incense for a while, don't look at the stone wall here, and don't look at the yellow charm with a slight yellow halo, you close your eyes, take my arm, follow me, if you really want to open your eyes, just look at your forefootγ β
The senior official listened to Chu Jingjue's words, smiled awkwardly, and didn't pull Jingjue's arm, just followed him, walked with his head down, and no longer looked at the confined space around him.
After walking for a while, I was relieved, and my mood was soothed, and my heart was naturally better.
At this time, a figure ran up from behind, following the high-ranking official, but he whispered to Chu Jingjue, "Hello, let's meet again." β
The high-ranking official was already depressed, and as soon as he heard someone next to him talking, he was about to shout a few words with his eyes in his eyes, but he was waved by Chu Jingjue, this young man Chu Jingjue naturally knew him, and replied in a low voice, "My name is Chu Jingjue, hello, you Xiaoyao Sect also came to participate in the martial arts, why didn't I see your very interesting master and senior brother." β
The young man who caught up with Chu Jingjue's figure was Meng Xi of the Xiaoyao faction, and he was still dressed in gorgeous clothes today, and there was an aristocratic temperament of a wealthy son between his hands, but he didn't know which big family this young man came from, but it was completely different from the little disciples of the Xiaoyao faction who followed behind.
Meng Xi grinned, revealing the small dimples on his cheeks, and said with a smile, "My senior brother accompanied the master to buy a lot of locust saplings from Qingzhou City and has returned to the sect, but let me go back after participating in the martial arts." β
Although this Meng Xi is a very young person among these people, but his mind is very mature, and he is a little more rigorous, just now he just heard Chu Jingjue's conversation to the high-ranking official from behind, the young man said that as long as he closes his eyes tightly, or stares at the soles of his forefeet, he will no longer have the uncomfortable feeling that makes his emotions fluctuate.
He tried to do this, it was true, as long as he squinted his eyes, it was a little blurry, and it was already a little dim in this corridor, Meng Xi simply closed one eye, and the other half-squinted and walked with his head down, and the feeling of tightness in his chest really disappeared,
He was very puzzled, he didn't know why the young man named Chu Jingjue was able to explain the mystery in one word.
It's just that the few teenagers who followed behind Meng Xi had a bad attitude towards Chu Jingjue, one by one they either stared at each other, or muttered quietly, they had seen a contest between Chu Jingjue and Meng Xi's junior brother that day, although they didn't know why that young man was able to restrain Meng Xi's junior brother's natal martial spirit, of course, that guy was indeed generous, otherwise the two masters and senior brothers would not have been able to go all the way from Qingzhou City to buy locust saplings and get them on the mountain.
Originally, Meng Xi had already whispered to them that as long as they didn't look at the burning flames of the yellow run, they wouldn't be dizzy and uncomfortable, but these people couldn't control their eyes, and they had to look at the wall a few times from time to time, as if they couldn't see the road, they would retch, and they were weak one by one, so they simply sat on the ground of the corridor and rested.
Meng Xi had no choice but to stop, and waited a little for the little brothers of the Loose Sect,
Chu Jingjue just shook his head, and was about to turn around and continue walking, when he heard a noisy sound coming from the back,
"Niu Pan, hurry up, let's rush forward, I want to see where the end of this broken road is, why is it dark all the way, oops, Young Master Ben can't stand it anymore, such a confined environment can indeed make people crazy!"
The white knife who spoke, but it was Niu Pan who was panting in front of him, and Chen Baiju, who was very quiet, followed behind.
Three people rushed to the dust,
Originally, Niu Pan's kid didn't want to follow, but the white knife said, if you don't follow to play, the money I owe you won't count, and I still owe a lot.
This frightened Niu Pan, and hurriedly went out of the house, and was pulled by the white knife to find Chen Baiju, and at noon, Chen Baiju went to sleep after eating, or Bai Xiaodao grinned loudly on the Chen family's mansion and found Chen Baiju sleeping in the bed.
This very quiet Chen Baiju has long forgotten that today is the day of martial arts, he practiced hard in boxing the night before, and he has been groggy in the past few days, that is, he is very sleepy, and he is also a man who likes to sleep a lot.
Why is Bai Xiaodao so concerned, it's not that he wants to go out to see the world, although he is the young master of the four major families in Qingzhou City, but whether it is martial arts or reading and writing on weekdays, none of his white knives can make the old lady in the family look at it, this is not just choking on his breath and going to Qingzhou to meet Wu Haosheng to kill the Quartet, so that those elm pimple general old ladies in the family add up to the blue eyes, as long as they are out, then the position of the head of the Bai family will be their own, and the money is not casual.
Where can you be as restrained in your pocket as you are now, and it is uncomfortable to be restrained in the crotch.
There is also Chen Baiju said at the beginning, as long as people Chu Jingjue goes to participate in the martial arts, he must also go, Chen Baiju is staring at people Chu Jingjue as a benchmark these days, and this guy does not have the vulgarity of the children of Qingzhou City, he doesn't like to go shopping for flowers and wine, and he doesn't like to raise birds and feed fish, in addition to liking to sleep, he now likes to practice boxing, saying that practicing boxing is nothing more than hitting wooden stakes, and the back of his hands is bloody all day long.
Looking at the white knife was also a sideways glance, I didn't expect Chen Baiju to have such a heart, rare, he couldn't compare, and he admired it even more in his heart, Bai Xiaodao naturally liked to play with Chen Baiju,
The young masters and sons in the big family, one by one, are not all wine bags and rice bags that have no goods in their heads, they all have their own little abacus, this white knife is even more shrewd, even Niu Pan seems a little stupid, but the brain melon seeds are also ghostly and ghostly,
This character is very different from Chu Jingwen of the Chu family, even Niu Pan didn't like it when he saw that Chu Jingwen, saying that the white and thin Chu Jingwen was like a small willow tree, and he could bear fruit with one punch, but it was not as cute as the Chu Jingwen who could be admired by breaking his wrists.
As soon as Bai Xiaodao raised his head, he saw Chu Jingjue standing in front of him, looking at him from afar, and immediately jumped up, "Hey, Chu Jingjue, why is it so coincidental, I met it in this kind of ghost place again, fate." β
Niu Pan also got goosebumps, is the white knife so vulgar, is it because he was beaten stupid by others.
