Chapter 262: The Legend of Gods and Ghosts (For Book Friends, I Called Lao Yang Jiagen)
"What is this?" Of course, when Zheng Xiujing returned to her room, Jessica was already sitting on her bed waiting for her to come back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, at this time, parents should have waited here to inquire in detail. It's just that Zheng's father drank high and had to go back to sleep before, and Zheng's mother had to take care of her, so now the person waiting for her in the room has been replaced by her sister.
"A gift from him." Zheng Xiujing glanced at Jessica, "I gave it back for pocket use." ”
"Heh~" Jessica really didn't hold back, and raised her delicate chin, "When is it?" ”
Zheng Xiujing tilted her head and chuckled, "Is this concerned?" Why didn't you even want to say anything before? ”
"What do you want?" Jessica has a straightforward personality, even to her sister, she is straightforward, she doesn't have the idea of going around in circles, and she asks questions straight to the point.
"Nothing." Zheng Xiujing tried her best to control her emotions, "You don't want it, I want it." ”
"Heh~~~" Jessica folded her arms around her full chest, and there was already a fierce look in her eyes, "I should have thought of it a long time ago." I should have understood when I saw you at the villa. You want? Do you know what you're talking about? You're such a good sister! ”
"You don't want it." Zheng Xiujing bit the corner of her mouth, tilted her head slightly, and looked away: "You have given up yourself, why can't I want it?" Why?! ”
"He's not what you think he is." Looking at her sister, who was a little emotional, Jessica's face finally brought a smile to her face, "He has a lot of secrets, you know?" Even if you want to, at least wait until you learn his secrets. ”
Jessica tilted her head and turned to leave, but her gaze accidentally swept over the gift box that Zheng Xiujing had placed on the bed. With a slight movement in his heart, he stepped forward and picked up the box, and directly opened the beautiful box under Zheng Xiujing's surprised gaze.
Beautiful, very pretty.
The lights are on in the room, and when the gift box is opened, the soft light falls on the dazzling gemstones to create a mesmerizing brilliance. The whole room seemed to be shrouded in brilliant gems, and the radiant scene caught the sisters' attention.
It is a crystal clear jadeite with a polished ruby at its core, surrounded by a circle of beautifully crafted gemstones. It's a work of art that no woman can resist, and it grabs the sisters' attention from the moment the box is opened.
I don't know how long it took, but the sisters' long, intertwined dreamlike eyelashes fluttered slightly. Starlight-like eyes slowly relaxed, and a low sigh rang out in the room.
The box was closed again, and Jessica, with a calm face, put down the box and turned to walk towards the door. Zheng Xiujing, who was inexplicably emotional, opened her mouth and wanted to call her, but she couldn't say the words when she came to her mouth. Looking at the slowly closing door, a crystal tear slipped down the corner of his eye.
"Sister."
------
Bustling streets, bustling crowds and camels, clear rivers passing by, and old coal-fired trains with long whistles on the tracks. Arabs wrapped in turbans and white men in shorts with proud faces walk through the streets.
The ring didn't speak, and it was estimated that the world was still being explored. However, he promised that he didn't need the introduction of the ring at this time to know where he was. As for the reason, it was very simple, he was standing on the street with all kinds of exotic buildings, and there were several tall pyramids not far from the street!
The surrounding environment, the people, the sound, the architecture. Plus the most conspicuous pyramids that are impossible to see. Needless to say, this must be Egypt. It's just that he doesn't know exactly when yet.
Look at your surroundings, especially the white soldiers who roam the streets with old-fashioned rifles on their backs and the long classical trains. It must have been sometime before World War II.
The sun in the sky was very scorching, but Xu Xu suddenly felt a cold wind blowing beside him, it was a biting cold. Promise's expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly tried to resist, but a warm feeling like bathing in the sun poured out from the ring on his hand, and the chill was dispelled in an instant.
"Alright, the world is complete." The ring's voice finally sounded, "I finally found this suitable world in the ocean of time, so I pulled you over directly." It has the power to remove the curse from you once and for all. I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of your troubles in this world. ”
"It seems like there's a powerful force snooping on me just now." Xu Promise narrowed his eyes and asked in some surprise, "What's going on?" ”
"There are gods in this world." The ring's words made Xu Promise's body stiffen suddenly: "Just now, it was the original power of this world, and it was snooping on you, an outsider, through the medium of the gods. I've driven them away, though. ”
"Targeted by God again?" Xu Promise raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, and couldn't help but sigh, "Without the power of God, but always being targeted by God, can you do something normal?" ”
"Don't worry." The ring began to reassure and promise, "I have already solved most of the things for you, you just need to go all out now to annihilate all the cursed energy on your body." ”
"Okay, let's talk about the current situation." Promise to think about it, and don't think about things that you can't handle now. It's the immediate thing that counts, "This should be Cairo, right?" Are you going to explore the pyramids this time? ”
"It's a world with magical powers. This world is full of spells, gods, and all sorts of magical places. I have made a pact with the space that you will reach the pyramid in the Amshei Oasis in five days, and there you will defeat the Scorpion Emperor, who has been favored and cursed by death. As long as you can defeat the Scorpion Emperor who was cursed by death, the remaining curse on your body will be completely removed. The ring began to give Promise a quick introduction to the task he was about to face.
"Amsey Oasis? The Scorpion Emperor? Death? Whew~~~" Xu Promise raised his head slightly, he finally knew what world he was in now. This is the world of the legend of gods and ghosts, a world with so much beyond common sense and imagination, and there are too many powerful beings in this world to be believed. And each of these things is enough to make the promise drool.
"I want to ask." The expression in Xu Promise's eyes changed rapidly, and he swallowed hard, and his voice trembled a little, "What if I don't do it within five days?" ”
"The pyramid where the Scorpion Emperor is located is actually in a state of gradual opening now. If you are not able to enter it and defeat the Scorpion Emperor within five days, or if the Scorpion King is defeated by someone else. Then the contract I signed with this world will be considered a failure. You'll have to wait for the next time the pyramid is opened before you can try again. Speaking of this, there seemed to be a smile in the ring's voice, "Do you know when the next time it will be opened?" ”
"Five thousand years later." Xu Promise rolled his eyes angrily.
Promise of course knows what the plot is like. He asked because he knew that there were so many magical treasures in this world, like Shangri-La in the distant Himalayas. And there is a spring that makes people immortal!
He had long known that he was constantly traveling from place to place in the world, and that one day such a miraculous thing would happen. Immortality!! This is definitely the greatest pursuit of human beings, and no ordinary person can hold back his restless heart in the face of this temptation.
It's just that not ordinary people's promises can be endured.
Of course, he also wanted immortality. Unfortunately, long journeys in this era are very difficult, and the Himalayas are so large, it is not easy to find a hidden Shangri-La. Even a promise takes a lot of time.
Originally, if it was for immortality, no matter how much time it was, it would have been okay. However, the promise is now burdened with the promise of the ring and the space. Kill the Scorpion Emperor within five days, or you will be trapped in this world for another five thousand years.
Five thousand years! Even if he was able to live to 5,000 years after gaining immortality, he estimated that he would have gone crazy by that time. In this case, he can only regret to choose to give up.
You know, five days wasn't even enough time for him to fly from Egypt to the Himalayas. In this era, long-distance travel is very difficult, even by plane. As for the promised teleportation ability, not to mention whether he can teleport that far away, just because he can't teleport without seeing him with his own eyes.
The promise full of regret sighed heavily. I had to put my mind back on what was in front of me. For him, just because he missed the opportunity doesn't mean he won't have the opportunity again.
As long as he can continue to travel between different worlds in the future, he will eventually find a way to live forever. He was still young, and his quest for immortality was far less urgent.
The ring had fallen silent again, and he had promised no more support from the ring. Now everything depends on himself. Looking at the bustling crowd around him, he raised his hand to cover his nose to block the fishy smell of the animals that kept coming to his face. He now needs to determine the time and place for himself.
"Hello~~" Xu Promise came to the vicinity of the train station, and stopped three Americans dressed as cowboys as soon as his eyes lit up.
It is said to be a station, but in fact it is just an open space that stops directly next to the street. There's not even a waiting hall around. Only a few guards with rifles on their backs hid in the shade and yawned boredly.
"Who are you?" The three cowboys grabbed their guns and looked at Promise with wary expressions.
Xu Promise has seen the legend of gods and ghosts, and the plot in the movie has long been firmly remembered by him. Moreover, he has a strong physical fitness, and his senses are keen, and he is able to perceive things that ordinary people cannot perceive. When he passed by the three cowboys before, he felt a very cold feeling from the boxes carried by the cowboys. It's the kind of coldness that makes a dead man.
Ordinary people may not be able to perceive it, but the promise is not mistaken. Look at the three cowboys, and look at the box. Xu Promise quickly laughed, and his smile was very bright.
For those who are about to die, Promise never stingy with his smile. (To be continued.) )
