Chapter 06: The Spinning Lotus
Today is their sixth day in the canyon.
There are endless mechanisms in the canyon, and he spends most of his time dealing with the dismantling mechanisms, and when the mechanisms are touched, he always keeps Mei'er behind him, preventing her from facing those horrific scenes, and he tells Mei'er: "The people these mechanisms are aimed at me, and my purpose is to destroy them all, so you should watch the excitement." ”
Mei'er followed him like a shadow, watching him smash those unbelievable killing mechanisms one by one, except for the demon song played by the man in the stone, which caused him to be slightly injured, the rest of the mechanisms, in his eyes, were like children's toys, vulnerable.
Mei'er secretly calculated, in five days, he had destroyed forty-seven mechanisms, but, the deep canyon seemed endless, last night, she sat on the stone wall boringly counted the gravel on the ground, and when it reached the three thousand six hundred, she finally couldn't help but throw a few gravel at him who was closing his eyes and recuperating: "How many mechanisms exist in this canyon?" ”
"Listen to them, it's three hundred and eighty-nine."
She sticks out her tongue, so much!
He opened his eyes, and there was a ripple in his eyes: "When we leave this ruin, I'll take you to various places, okay?" ”
This little girl whom he met by accident was very special, and when he saw her sobbing and crying in the wind from afar ten days ago, his heart could not help but tremble slightly, and in those days he would occasionally keep an eye on her whereabouts, and when he saw her wandering through the ruins like a headless fly, he smiled softly, for she was nothing but a curiosity seeker.
When the green dragon broke through the ground, he had already shown a long sword in his hand, but in just an instant, the green dragon slashed this cowardly-looking little girl with a sword, and a pimple suddenly twisted into his eyebrows, this time she really looked away, she was by no means a simple girl.
Watching her change into a pale yellow skirt and walk through the snow, crystal droplets of water slipped down her soft and fair face and dispersed with the wind. At that moment, his heartbeat did speed up a bit.
He estimated the route, this canyon is the only way for her, all the traps in it, I heard that they have been destroyed in the bloody battle more than ten years ago, but this is a place of resentment, there are too many incredible changes, he stepped forward to tease her with selfishness, just looking for an opportunity to get to know her.
When he entered the canyon, he was shocked to find that the canyon that had been dead for a long time was turning back to life, that is, the various kitsch mechanisms hidden in it were quietly waiting for the moment when they were touched, so that the reckless intruders could be mercilessly strangled.
Looking at her naughty and lively face, he regretted a little, he really shouldn't have involved her in this weird and unpredictable place, these days, he has been suppressing the surging tide of emotions in his heart, his deep eyes are floating with amazement and helplessness, other men can show their tenderness and domineering to the girl they like, but he, can't.
But her attraction to him grew deeper, and a tenderness had crept around his heart, which was so quiet that it bordered on coldness, made him feel confused and miserable.
Mei'er looked at his slightly depressed face, and gave him a light smile back, for five days, she had been waiting for a sentence: "My name is"
Or, change it to another sentence: "What's your name?" ”
However, he often stared quietly at her pretty face in a daze, and despite the burning flames dancing in his eyes, his well-defined lips were always stiffly closed, stingy with these two simple words.
In front of him was a dry pond with a narrow stone bridge across it, and he stood on the edge of the pond, looked down for a long time, and then turned back to Mei'er and said, "There is no mechanism here, let's go!" ”
As usual, he stepped on the stone bridge first, and Mei'er followed on the stone bridge, and as she walked, she looked at the faint shadow that had settled under the bridge, and wondered: "How can there be a pond hidden in the canyon?" It's just a pity that there is no water. ”
He glanced around and replied casually: "This canyon was formed in ancient times, and it still exists for hundreds of thousands of years, and it naturally contains many miracles inside. Mei'er snorted, patted the railing on the stone bridge casually, and sighed: "It turned out to be an antiquity!" ”
The cool railing made a slight clicking sound under her beating, and the whole bridge shook violently, and she was startled, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and shouted, "Hey, stop!" The bridge is coming down. ”
He looked back in amazement and looked at Mei'er in confusion: "What's wrong?" ”
Mei'er pointed to her feet and said in a trembling voice: "Don't you feel it?" The bridge was shaking, and the water, the water was overflowing. ”
The pond that was still dripping just now, I don't know when, it was already sparkling, and in the blink of an eye, the water in the pond had overflowed to the bridge deck, Mei'er held the hem of her soaked skirt with her hand, and exclaimed: "Hey, look, the water is full." ”
He kicked the bridge lightly, the stone bridge was very stable, where was it moving?
"It's okay, the bridge is good, what do you see? Water? No, I don't. ”
Mei'er pointed to her feet, her face pale: "Didn't you see it?" The water is over the bridge! Look, there's a beautiful lotus over there. ”
The crimson lotus flowers, swaying leisurely in the clear water, the transparent petals are covered with round dewdrops, and they fall into the water between turns, and the lotus flowers rotate with brilliant colors, slowly floating to Mei'er who is standing on the stone bridge.
He pulled Mei'er behind him with one hand, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid! What you see may be an apparition. ”
Mei'er shook off his hand and leaned down to touch the lotus flower that was quietly moored beside her. The blooming lotus flower was closed, and the faint fragrance overflowed from the trembling petals, and suddenly it quickly swung into the depths of the pond, and Mei'er rolled up her skirt and was about to jump into the water.
He grabbed her by the waist with one hand: "What are you doing?" Nothing below. ”
Mei'er grabbed his steel hoop-like arms and yelled loudly, "Let go of me, don't stop me, I want to go home." ”
He forced her body to turn around so that she could not see the scene under the stone bridge.
Mei'er writhed desperately, trying to break free from his confinement.
His brows furrowed, his hands tightened, and she screamed in pain, unable to move again.
He caressed her pale cheeks and soothed her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Mei'er turned her head with disgust on her face, her eyes followed the lotus flower that was gradually drifting away, and her voice was like ice: "Let go of me, I want to go home." ”
He couldn't help but shudder, these days she occasionally had a slight anger, but in an instant, the light flowed, and she smiled smartly, at this moment her whole person seemed to be coated with a thick layer of ice, and her clear eyes were full of disgust, as if she had a deep hatred with him.
A chill welled up from the soles of his feet, what was wrong with her?
His sharp gaze kept moving in the canyon, searching for abnormal fluctuations, but the air flow was steady and quiet, and Mei'er in his arms became restless again, and kept kicking him, shouting: "Let go of me, you bastard, why are you catching me?" Let go of me, I'm going home. ”
He didn't care so much, his right arm tightly imprisoned her in his arms, freed his left hand, and a wet purple light swept through the deep canyon like lightning, her white jade-like face was reflected by the purple light, and it became more and more weird, he screamed, and simply threw the sword in his hand under the bridge, a faint sigh echoed in the canyon, Mei'er in her arms suddenly quieted down, she looked at him blankly with an anxious face, and muttered: "You, why are you stopping me?" I want to go home. ”
Two lines of tears flowed from her big eyes, and then she sobbed quietly.
His falcon-like gaze continued to search for the anomaly around him--- she was still bound by this threat that he could not fathom, it seemed that she could no longer stay in the canyon, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Okay, I'll take you out of the city, you go home first, and when I'm done with my business, I'll go looking for you,"
She clutched his shirt tightly and whispered, "You? Don't leave me behind."
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be pressed against a thousand pounds of boulders, and his voice gradually sank, and he finally knew nothing.
