Chapter 257: Traces
The dusty ancient door, accompanied by the sound of stones rubbing, slowly revealed its true face. A breath of simplicity and chaos came to the face in an instant.
Wu Zheng seemed to be curious about the baby, and he also leaned over, and a gap opened between the ancient doors. Although this is just a gap for the entire huge ancient gate, it is enough for Xiaohua and a few people to get a glimpse of the real machine.
It was dark, and although it was lit by moonlight, it was still slightly dim. It's black on the outside, and it's even darker on the inside. Reaching out and not seeing the five fingers may be the best way to describe it.
"Wu Zheng. Without replying, the little flower head opened his mouth and shouted, "Fetch a fire." ”
Wu Zheng, who was rushing over, braked suddenly, and then had no choice but to turn around and go back and pull a burning dead branch from the fire. However, by the time he ran to the door, the flames had been extinguished, and there was only a little red light.
Xiaohua glanced at Wu Zheng, helpless, and finally he looked at Luochen again.
Luochen naturally felt the eager gaze, and some reluctantly took out a bead from his sleeve, and then injected spiritual power into it. Then the bead glowed with a familiar glow. This bead Wu Zheng and Xiaohua are no strangers at all, once in the mysterious bat cave, they have never seen it once.
"Kirin eyes. The bearded man exclaimed, then swallowed and looked at the bead in disbelief.
The bearded man still has a lot of experience, at least he can say it at once with this unicorn eye, it's not simple, it's really not simple.
Falling Dust first lifted the bead and walked close to the ancient gate. Reaching in, there was nothing but nothingness. Dusty walked cautiously towards the door. Xiaohua and several people also held their breath at the same time.
Watching the light enter little by little, Xiaohua's heart couldn't help but hang. The tower gave him a mysterious and menacing feeling, so for some reason, he always feared that a vicious-looking monster would suddenly run out of it.
Gradually, the light faded away, leaving only a faint glow.
At that moment, a strange voice came from inside, "Come in." ”
Xiaohua was immediately alert, but the next moment, he knew that he was too nervous. The sound was dusty, because of the environmental factors inside the ancient tower, there was an echo, so it was misheard.
Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, and said that she was still too nervous, so that she was a little nervous. Then he shook his head and stepped into the ancient tower.
When I first entered, it was dim inside, and I could see Luochen standing not far away with a bead in his hand. The little flower approached, and then she felt the surroundings brighten.
If the dust beads are in the daytime, they can hardly see any light, but once they are in this dark area where there is no light source, it shows its power. Relying on this faint bit of light, it illuminates the distance of four or five zhang around.
As Xiaohua entered, several other people also walked in. At the head of the group was the bearded man, and he could be seen from afar with his big white teeth, reflecting the light emitted by the beads. Then I heard him say, "Good fellow, this ancient tower is so dark, there is not even a torch." ”
Contrary to the bearded man's big arrogance, Wu Zheng, at this moment, he was cowering and hiding behind Mo Qing. And Mo Qing didn't look like a prince at all, and muttered: "What are you doing with me?"
When everyone gathered, they heard Luochen say, "I took a general look at the surrounding situation, and there was nothing. There was nothing but a stone staircase in the corner. ”
"Gone?" Xiaohua was surprised, although he hadn't seen it in person, he still trusted Luochen. Since the dust is said to be nothing, there must be nothing in comparison.
Xiaohua fell silent again, and Luochen had few words, and she didn't say much after she finished speaking. After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Xiaohua speak again: "We still have a whole night now, if we don't go out during this time, then we may have to spend a day inside." ”
"Do you want to go up to the tower?" Luo Li's beautiful eyes lifted, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"You don't need everybody to go up. Xiaohua spoke again.
When Wu Zheng heard this, he was on the verge of amnesty, and said, "Then can I not go up?"
Although Xiaohua is very reluctant to admit it, it is indeed not a good way to take Wu Zheng. "I'll go up with you. Xiaohua said to the serious Luoli.
"Good", Luoli's voice was crisp.
After making up their minds, Xiaohua and Luoli slowly came to the staircase. The dust remained, so he took out two more beads and gave them to Xiaohua and Luoli respectively.
The staircase is made of stone, not like a pile, but rather a single piece of hewn out. Luoli didn't think much about it, and stepped onto the steps. Relying on the faint light of the beads, they walked up one by one.
It's just that Xiaohua seems to have discovered something. He seemed to see it on the ground next to the stairs, and there seemed to be some traces. However, due to the falling glass, Xiaohua had to take a quick look, and then followed.
On the second floor of the tower, the little two began to search. It's just that there is still nothing on this level. As with the first floor, the two stepped up the stairs again. And beside the staircase, Xiaohua saw the trace again.
This time, Xiaohua couldn't ignore it. He called out to Luoli, and then said, "Wait, look at this thing." ”
Luoli stopped and glanced down at the ground, "What's wrong?"
"Look at this trace, I've seen it on the first floor. ”
Hearing Xiaohua say that there was also on the first layer, she also became serious and looked at the traces seriously.
Xiaohua brought the bead close to the ground, and then looked for the traces. This photo doesn't matter, but I found that this trace extends out completely, and there is no end in sight.
Xiaohua and Luoli glanced at each other, and then began to slowly follow the trail. As a result, the rare time between Xiaohua and his wife became a circle around the tower. Later, I don't know how long they walked, Xiaohua found that they had returned to the staircase.
"This?" said Luoli, "What do you see?"
"This may be an ancient text. Xiaohua seemed to be absent-minded, and casually threw out a sentence.
At this moment, Xiaohua is actually drawing the shape of the trace in her mind. He had just taken a few turns at the traces, and now, it only took him some time to be able to put them back together.
Luoli didn't bother, she could see what Xiaohua was thinking, so she lowered her breath and stared at the man in front of her.
In an instant, she suddenly had the illusion that Xiaohua looked handsome. Naturally, Xiaohua's appearance does not need to be questioned, it must be seen with eyes. Luoli's so-called handsomeness, closer to maturity and wisdom, a man who thinks, has a different kind of charm.
Slowly, Xiaohua combined the traces, and a strange pattern appeared in his mind. The pattern is symmetrical, curved, and may be off. But in general, that's what it should be.
"Let's go up. Xiaohua straightened up and said to Luoli. didn't think about it, but saw the other party's affectionate eyes.
Luo Liben was in a daze, and when she heard Xiaohua's words, she immediately reacted, retracted her gaze, and hurriedly went upstairs again.
Xiaohua smiled bitterly, but her heart was beautiful. There's no way, it seems that his attraction is too strong, but any normal woman is estimated to be conquered by herself.
Not surprisingly, after the two of them reached the third floor, the trace reappeared. Xiaohua rechecked it again, and confirmed that the trace was the same as before.
After that, it was the fourth layer, the fifth layer, and the ninth layer, and I didn't find any danger. In this way, there is no other doubt in this ancient tower except for the traces. Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help but be disappointed.
They didn't find anything useful, and neither did they find the lock that the key corresponded to. In this way, this entry may be in vain.
Xiaohua sat on the stairs with a decadent look. He was still thinking, trying to figure out something he hadn't discovered before. It's just that everything is in vain, there is nothing, even the ninth layer is still pitch black.
And it was at this time that Xiaohua's way of thinking became more and more important. He tried to think the other way around, first he knew that those two pieces were the key. Then there must be a corresponding lock, which is opened by a key.
Wong Tai Sin has also indicated in the map that he wants to come to the location of this ancient city by himself. In the ancient city, the most conspicuous thing is this ancient tower. Therefore, you might as well venture to guess that the lock is in this ancient tower.
According to the general rule, the lock must be placed for some purpose. Or something dangerous to lock up, or something to protect. Either way, the lock must have been placed purposefully.
In ordinary people's thinking, if this lock is to be placed, it will definitely not be placed in the middle, on the contrary, the ninth layer is the easiest position to think of. However, if Xiaohua checks it and doesn't see anything, it means that it is locked in another location that is most easily overlooked.
First floor. Xiaohua thought of this, and seemed to suddenly understand. He had searched the upper floors, and if there was anything, it must be on the first floor, the one he hadn't inspected.
Thinking of this, Xiaohua immediately jumped up, and then said eagerly to Luoli: "Block, let's go to the first floor, there must be something strange there." Immediately, before Luoli agreed, he directly took the other party's hand and hurried down.
As everyone knows, Luo Li was stunned because he was suddenly grabbed by his hand. The deer in my heart bumped into each other, and my face turned red with pain. Fortunately, due to the darkness and dim light, Xiaohua can't see it. Because Xiaohua is the Yanagishita Hui who is not surprised everywhere, and she cares about big things.
