Chapter 44: Strange Little Stones
"In my experience, this should be part of a treasure map, but it's only a small part that you can't tell what is drawn on it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The rain painter sighed.
A few more people opened the other cowhide rolls. There are six Brown Scrolls, but like the first one, all of them are incomplete, and they all appear to be part of a treasure map.
"I don't know what it's up there?"
Village Chief Tan put down the cowhide roll in his hand and said suspiciously.
"But no matter where it is, it must be very important, otherwise the demon wind will not wait for years to get it. ”
The three swordsmen also thought the same.
The three of them went together to study a few treasure maps, trying to find out in their minds the scenes that matched those depicted on them.
The swordsman had never been anywhere in his memory, so he couldn't help much, so he simply squatted next to the treasure chest and picked up the remaining jewels and gems inside.
The three of them are not interested in these things, but the swordsmen do. Girls should like these things, right? The swordsman is going to pick a few to give to Miss Xia'er. For such a long time, Miss Xia'er has taken good care of him, and he has never given Miss Xia'er any gifts.
The swordsman carefully pulled a pile of jewels, and at the same time wondered which one would look better on Miss Xia'er.
Suddenly, the swordsman felt a tingling pain in his fingers, hurriedly retracted his hand, and looked at it in front of him, his fingers were pricked by something, and it seemed to be pierced very deeply, and strings of blood beads came out.
The swordsman put his finger into his mouth and sucked it, but fortunately, the wound was not big, and no blood came out again.
The swordsman carefully flipped the direction where his hand had just probed, and moved the jewel to the side little by little, trying to find the murderer who pierced his finger.
Peeling back the layers of jewelry, a strange little stone-shaped thing was revealed. The reason why it is strange is that this small stone stands out in the midst of this pile of brilliant jewels.
Half of the stone was pitch black, and the other half was an eerie dark purple. The shape is also very irregular, with a few edges and corners protruding from the corners, and one of the edges and corners is pierced through the swordsman's finger, and there is a little blood stain on it, but soon the drop of blood disappeared under the gaze of the swordsman, and it seems to have been absorbed by a small stone?
The swordsman suddenly felt a little creepy, what the hell is this little stone? It can even absorb human blood.
The swordsman carefully picked up the small stone and held it in the palm of his hand, and carefully observed the light. The small stone is completely opaque, and it is impossible to see what exactly is inside.
The three of them watched it for a long time, but they didn't find in their minds a similar scene depicted on the dilapidated treasure map. Turning his head, Village Chief Tan found that the swordsman was holding a small stone and was stunned.
"Little sword, what's wrong?"
Hearing Village Chief Tan ask, the attention of the rain painter and the Xuan doctor also shifted from the cowhide roll to the swordsman.
"Senior Tan, look, what is this?"
The swordsman handed the small stone to Village Chief Tan. And one more sentence added.
"Be careful, the edges are pretty sharp, don't get scratched. ”
Village Chief Tan took the small stone, turned it around in his hand, and couldn't recognize it after looking at it for a while, so he handed it to the rain painter and Dr. Xuan to read it too. All three stated that they had never seen such an object.
"This must be a little little rock with a strange color, right?"
Village Chief Tan said. If you look at the appearance, there is nothing special about it except that the color is different from ordinary small stones.
"No, it sucks blood. ”
The swordsman explained. If he hadn't seen his blood seeping into the small stone, he would probably have thought it was just an ordinary small stone, but now he doesn't think so.
"Vampire?"
Village Chief Tan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the small stone again, and he couldn't see the appearance of blood stains at all. So he lightly touched the edge of the small stone with his finger, and suddenly a drop of blood came out and landed on the small stone, but it was not sucked into it as the swordsman said, but dripped along the small stone to the ground.
The three of them looked at the swordsman strangely, as if they were asking the swordsman what was going on?
The swordsman was also stunned when he saw this. It wasn't like that just now.
The swordsman took it, the small stone was pierced again, and a drop of blood dripped from his finger. The same thing happened, and that drop of blood also dripped to the ground and was not absorbed by the small stone.
"What's going on?"
The swordsman muttered. Suddenly, he turned around and lay on the treasure chest, carefully searching for the jewels around the small stone, maybe he was wrong just now, the blood was not absorbed by the small stone and slipped down?
However, he searched it all and found no blood in the chest. turned his head and looked at the three of Village Chief Tan embarrassedly.
"It wasn't like this just now, just now I wanted to find two pieces of jewelry for Xia'er, but I accidentally pierced my finger by this small stone, and the blood that flowed out was really absorbed by this small stone. ”
The swordsman said that he was afraid that Village Chief Tan would think he was lying. He stretched out his finger again and asked Village Chief Tan to look at the wound on his finger.
"We naturally believe that you can't lie, Xiaojian, and there must be something going on that we don't know about. ”
Village Chief Tan waved his hand and signaled the swordsman not to worry.
It's already the middle of the night.
There were so many strange things happening tonight, first the broken treasure map on the cowhide scroll, and now a strange little rock. Although with everyone's cultivation, they will not feel sleepy all night without sleeping, but they are still a little exhausted at this time.
So they went home and rested, and prepared to take matters together after they had awoke up at dawn.
The swordsman lay on the bed tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. There were too many doubts in his mind. Previous, current. Piled up without getting an answer.
It was not far from dawn, so he simply didn't sleep, and sat on the bed and began to meditate and practice the mental method.
When cultivating, time always flies very quickly. I saw that it was already dark outside the window. The swordsman got up again and washed his face, then gently pushed open the door and came to the open space at the east end of the village to practice the boxing technique taught to him by Village Chief Tan over and over again.
Even though he has practiced this set of boxing techniques for half a year, he still does not slack off in the slightest, but he feels that his improvement has become extremely slow when he cultivates, and it seems to have reached a bottleneck.
At the edge of the woods, Village Chief Tan stood there quietly looking at the swordsman who was wielding sweat and cultivating, and nodded with satisfaction.
