40. Chapter 40

Chiba thought that he had been prepared for a long time, and when he walked down the stone steps to the edge of light, he had already opened the fire fold, and under the flames, he could roughly see the position under his feet.

The walls on both sides are full of quaint lotus-shaped stone bricks, tightly inlaid and connected, and finally paved into a whole lotus wall. A canal was dug at the lower end of the lotus wall, and the edge of the canal was also decorated with a lotus-shaped parapet, which was very short, just above the knee.

Every few steps Chiba used a fire fold to light the peacock's beak-shaped candlestick sticking out of the lotus wall, and after about ten zhang out, the road ahead began to divide in two.

Mo Chaoyun asked, "Which way should I go?" ”

Chiba didn't answer, but he didn't know what he was doing at the entrance to the dark corridor, and then there was the sound of gold and iron hitting the stone wall. Chiba didn't stop, just gave up this side, and gestured to Mo Chaoyun to go to the other side.

Mo Chaoyun hurriedly grabbed Chiba who walked into the corridor on the other side, "Don't rush in, didn't you hear the movement still sounding over there?" I heard it well, it was the sound of arrows and crossbows firing, there was a mechanism in it! ”

"Mo Xun went in before us, and none of the triggering mechanisms should fall, so the side where the arrows and crossbows were fired must not be the road that Mo Xun took, and she hasn't died in the mechanism array for so long, which means that the path she took is correct, we picked up a ready-made cheap, just follow behind."

Mo Chaoyun was still a little uneasy, but Chiba stepped in indifferently and lit the peacock mouth candlestick according to the precedent.

"You guessed it, but I still think it's too risky."

Hearing Mo Chaoyun mutter, Qianye snorted coldly, "If I were Mo Xun, I wouldn't be a true friend of you, because you weren't fellow travelers in the first place." ”

Mo Chaoyun said angrily: "I know you're making fun of me again. ”

"I still say that the greater the risk, the higher the reward, and if you stick to the rules, you won't get anything. No matter what Mo Xun did, at least I had no objection to the direction she chose to move forward. ”

"No matter what the cause, it's not right to hurt people!"

Chiba snorted: "That's why I said that you are not fellow travelers at all." ”

"You are so powerful, you must have known that Mo Xun had a problem?" Mo Chaoyun sneered at each other: "Even so, I didn't see you remind me." ”

Chiba asked rhetorically, "If I said it, would you believe it?" When you believe in Mo Xun so much, you ask yourself, will you believe me? ”

"......" Mo Chaoyun instantly felt speechless.

Chiba didn't speak again and continued to walk.

The further back he goes, the more this kind of fork in the road, Chiba still uses the former method, choosing the way forward, and there will even be some broken arrows and hidden weapons on these roads he chooses.

Mo Chaoyun wanted to pick up a broken soft nail to take a closer look, but was stopped by Chiba and said, "Poisonous." ”

Mo Chaoyun was stunned when he heard this, and then he was a little embarrassed. She had just had a quarrel with Chiba, and now she was reminded by him, she wanted to say something to ease the indifferent atmosphere between the two, so she spoke, "Just ......"

She only said two words, but Chiba said disappreciably: "No need. ”

Is he saying that there is no need to say more, or is there no need to explain? Mo Chaoyun was a little depressed, but he saw that he suddenly stopped and gently groped on the lotus stone wall.

Mo Chaoyun asked curiously: "What are you looking for?" ”

Chiba didn't speak, just shook his head, then continued to take a few steps forward, and then stopped to fumble for a while, and after he repeated the similar action five or six times, he heard him mutter, "I see." ”

"What is that?"

Chiba glanced at her and just shook her head, "It's nothing. ”

"Okay, I didn't do it just now, don't ignore it like this." Mo Chaoyun finally couldn't help it.

Chiba looked at her in surprise, "What? Seeing that she pursed her lips slightly, she paused, and said with a slight smile: "I don't like to be angry so much." ”

After saying that, he patted her on the shoulder again, "Do you hear the sound of water in the distance?" We should have gone deep into the heart of this gate, and the small canals on both sides converge in front of us, as the initial force of the operating mechanism, which is relatively safe, but at the same time the power will be endless, which is really interesting. ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Mo Chaoyun, who was stunned, and sped up his speed.

Mo Chaoyun muttered to himself: "Only I think he is here to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery?" ”

As I got closer and closer to the sound of the water, I found that the road ahead had turned into a huge encircling circle. The position where Chiba and Mo Chaoyun are standing is exactly the center of the circle side, and on the left hand is a black hole that is getting lower and lower, unless it is lying on its stomach, it is impossible to move forward at all, and the right hand side is symmetrical with the left hand side, it is a white hole that is getting lower and lower.

Mo Chaoyun frowned and said, "How should I go now?" ”

Chiba pointed ahead and said, "Keep going." ”

What the? Mo Chaoyun looked at the void in front of him and looked back at Chiba in disbelief, "Are you kidding?" ”

There is no road ahead, and if you really step on it, you will fall straight into the abyss, and the water below is turbulent, and you don't know where you will be washed away.

Chiba didn't speak, just reached out and pulled the surprised Mo Chaoyun, pressed her shoulder with one hand, and pulled off a wooden hairpin behind her hair with the other.

"Hey!" Mo Chaoyun was embarrassed to cover his long hair that was falling down, "What are you doing......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that as soon as Chiba raised his hand, he threw the wooden hairpin out. The hairpin is very light, and it is not far to get out, and it glides for a while and then comes to a slow stop. Mo Chaoyun's eyes stared straight at the hairpin that stopped in the void, and he couldn't speak.

"It's not empty, look, didn't the hairpin stop there?" As he spoke, Chiba had already let go of Mo Chaoyun.

It turns out that the road ahead, which looks empty, is a transparent platform, because it is transparent, so I will look at the past at a glance and feel that there is no way in front of me.

Mo Chaoyun said angrily: "Why don't you throw your own hairpin!" ”

Chiba sighed, "First, I don't have a hairpin. Second, I don't like the Shawl. ”

The wind that walked through lifted Mo Chaoyun's long hair, and all of it blew in the direction of the wind onto the white clothes on Chiba's chest. He subconsciously picked up a bunch, but he didn't expect that the hair was very smooth and slipped from his fingers in an orderly manner.

He said: "He has an impatient temperament, but his hair is very soft. ”

Mo Chaoyun was displeased because of the hairpin, snatched back his hair, and ran away to Mu Hai with a snort, "You will only bully me......" The words did not fall, but because of the slippage of his feet, he rushed out directly.

Unexpectedly, this transparent platform turned out to be extremely slippery, Mo Chaoyun was in a hurry, and he felt that wherever he grabbed his palm, it was sticky and slippery, and he couldn't stop the movement of running forward, and this transparent platform was actually very narrow, the length should be less than one zhang, and the width and narrowness only allowed one person to pass through Guò, so the more Mo Chaoyun struggled, the more he slid towards the edge of the platform, and he was about to fall off the transparent platform in an instant.

At the last moment, one hand grabbed her left hand, and she looked up in panic, but it was Chiba who frowned at her.
