Chapter 182: Peak Stone Hall
The rugged stone terrain at the summit of the Void Peak is littered with faceless statues of various shapes and a jumble of tombstones with inscriptions carved in strange characters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Dai Xue walked between the stone monuments familiarly and calmly, she was dressed in a moon-white brocade collared skirt with a smoky purple shawl as in the past, elegant and plain, and this mysterious and gloomy scene looked so incompatible.
At the end of the road is a purple-black stone temple. Like any palace, this stone hall is magnificent, but it looks oppressive and strange because of its lack of windows and terraces, and perhaps built on the top of a hill without any buildings or plants around it except for low monuments, the existence of the stone hall is very abrupt at first glance.
Dai Xue raised her hand and waved, the huge stone door slowly opened, and she walked in by herself, her steps even a little hurried and flustered.
Inside the door is an endless corridor of one person wide, and below the corridor is a bottomless abyss, the unknown inky black makes people instinctively want to escape, as if there is a purgatory of sin.
In the middle of the corridor is a round platform, and the front of the round platform is divided into three paths: in addition to the corridor that continues to extend forward, the other two roads are one up stairs and the other is a downward staircase, and Dai Xue chooses the middle corridor to continue walking.
At the end of the corridor, a man in a gray and white cloak stood with his back to Dai Xue, and the path that seemed to stretch under his feet suddenly broke off, and below was a bottomless abyss, surrounded by uneven stone walls, which shimmered faintly at this moment.
"You're here." The man was Jin Yan, he didn't turn around, but he already knew who was behind him, and the ethereal and ethereal voice echoed above the abyss corridor.
"I didn't succeed." Dai Xue bowed her head slightly, her eyes looked to the side, but in addition to unwillingness and shame on her face, she seemed to endure other emotions.
"It's okay, just bring the two of them up, and when everyone is together, I have other plans."
"'The two of them'? You already knew that, didn't you?! Dai Xue took a step forward and looked up at Jin Yan's back, her tone was more gentle and calm than just now, and there was obvious complaint at this moment.
Hearing this, Jin Yan turned around and slowly walked towards Dai Xue step by step. When he walked in front of her, Jin Yan actually had an interested smile on his face: "What did you say?" ”
Facing Jin Yan's expression, Xue Fen clearly felt a sense of oppression, but the eagerness in her heart forced her to continue to ask, "Why didn't you tell me that Xuan Shao also entered the mountain?" ”
However, the next moment, Jin Yan raised her hand and grabbed Dai Xue's neck, and the full force made her almost suffocate.
"I don't know when I need to report my decision to you?" Jin Yan said as he approached Dai Xue's face, until the tips of the two noses were only a stone's throw away, and he used his hand again, "Huh?!" ”
"Hmm......" Dai Xue was no longer able to speak, and a hoarse whimper came from her throat intermittently.
Jin Yan let go of his hand, and instead pinched her chin and lifted her face forcefully, "Don't forget your own identity, you, you're just a stand-in I picked up from the Qianglan slave market at that time, why, you've been this 'Daixue' identity for too long, and you've forgotten what you are?" ”
In the face of Jin Yan and his ugly insults, Dai Xue only felt that the unbearable past had been uprooted from the deep ground again. She didn't speak, and looked straight at Jin Yan.
Jin Yan looked at Dai Xue's jade-like skin and almost perfect facial features that seemed to be carved, "It's so beautiful, but is this skin yours?" With that, he pushed Dai Xue to the ground, stepped forward and looked condescendingly at her who was sitting on the ground, and continued: "Do you think Xuan Shao really cares about this you with such a dirty past? Jin Yan laughed wantonly as if he had told some big joke.
Dai Xue's hands were clenched tightly, her nails were almost embedded in her flesh, and every word Jin Yan said seemed to be tearing at her heart, spreading all the thoughts she cared about the most and the most unspeakable under the blazing light.
"If you don't want her to know about your ugly past, it's better to give me a little peace, I can make you 'Daixue', and I can also let you lose this identity at any time, don't ruin my plans." Jin Yan issued a warning, and then walked towards the center of the corridor around Dai Xue.
After taking a few steps, he said to Dai Xue behind him: "Don't stand up quickly, no one here will see you pretending to be pitiful, follow me down to see that old thing." ”
Dai Xue stroked her chin that was pinched out of her fingerprints, her trembling eyes were full of hatred, but she had no other way, she stood up and quickly followed Jin Yan, and she didn't even have time to slap off the embarrassed ash on her body.
Luo Shuang and Xiahou ran to the edge of a mountain cliff and stopped, the two of them were out of breath, Luo Shuang glanced at nothing unusual behind him before relieving himself slightly.
It turned out that the two of them did not travel safely for long, and they also encountered poisonous spiders, poisonous bees, poisonous ants, and vines that had become like essences. The constant gushing of poisonous insects from all sides made them unable to parry, and finally had to dodge and run, and finally ran to this relatively safe place.
And when Xiahou Yao sat on the ground and took out the water bladder on his waist to drink, Luo Shuang opened his mouth coldly: "Xiahou Yao, what is your purpose?" ”
Xiahou was stunned at first, took away the water bladder that was pouring water into his mouth, and turned his head to look at Luo Shuang inexplicably, "Luo Shuang, what are you talking about, what is my purpose?" ”
"Don't pretend, the encounter in the mountains is not a coincidence at all, from the time you want to go with me, oh no, it should be said that from the time you came to me to tell me everything about General Xiahou's past, it was a calculated conspiracy." Luo Shuang's tone was cold and affirmative, she looked at Xiahou Yao, even if she didn't have a weapon in her hand, even if she couldn't gain the upper hand in this Void Peak, she still didn't have the slightest fear in her eyes.
Xiahou Yi also looked at Luo Shuang, his eyes undulating, "Oh? It's funny, how do you know? ”
"There are so many poisonous insects that they keep popping up, and although you are trying to deal with them, I noticed that they don't seem to have the intention of jumping at you, and the goal seems to be me." Luo Shuang paused and continued: "Also, when you walked to those vines entangled and sent into a maze, you made a few rather complicated gestures behind your back, and there seemed to be something in your mouth, did you really not notice it?" And then we quickly found our way out of the maze, and you can explain to me, is it just a coincidence?" (To be continued.) )
