Chapter 25: The Face (1)

Zhu Qingheng looked inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark: "Then how did you get in the first time?" ”

Luo Chuan said: "I didn't enter from the hole, I fell from above." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhu Qingheng immediately thought of the secret passage he followed Shui Yue and the others, and laughed with a puff: "This Great Elder didn't expect that there was an exit on it back then. ”

Luo Chuan nodded: "According to my observation, although he successfully blocked the enemy back then, he also completely sealed the entrance to the cave, and he couldn't get out." Fortunately, after so long, some Gu worms died, and they could barely break out. After speaking, he handed over the burden in his hand and asked, "Do you want this thing?" ”

Zhu Qingheng opened the baggage, and unexpectedly saw a tripod, about the size of two hands together, with a layer of black cocoon-like hard things on the outside, from the exposed scales and half claws, this tripod is about bronze, the material is a little like wood, a little like metal. Because the ding was poisonous, she didn't dare to touch it, and turned it in her hand: "It's so small." Then he looked up and smiled, "What do I want to do, if I have a sword, I can still play with it." ”

Luo Chuan took it over: "When I go down the mountain, I will return this thing to the Ten Thousand Saints' Gate." ”

Zhu Qingheng was curious: "How can you pay it back?" ”

Luo Chuan said: "There is a mountain and sea dart bureau, which claims that no matter what it is, no matter where they go, they dare to send it, and they can deliver it." ”

Zhu Qingheng smiled: "You are so generous. Why don't you put it in the auction house, you can still make a lot of money. ”

Luo Chuan said: "The auction house is deep, if you put it up, whether you have the life to take the money or not." And the Gate of All Saints is far away in southern Xinjiang, and I have not heard of any evil deeds. With a flick of his finger, he resealed the package.

The two of them went down the mountain according to the map of the elders of the Ten Thousand Saints' Gate, all the way unimpeded, and it didn't take long to arrive at the riverbank where Zhu Qingheng spent the night last night, Zhu Qingheng saw three leaves falling on the ground, as if they were the three pieces that she put on the heads of the three brothers when she left, and even the direction was exactly the same. Slightly stunned, I walked over to take a look, and I was stunned again, it turned out that although there was no one under the leaves, the color of the soil next to it was no different from the nearby soil. She lifted a leaf on the right, only to see that the soil on the ground had formed a leaf shape due to the color difference, which exactly matched the shape of the leaf she had picked up. And the same is true when he lifted the two leaves next to him. She couldn't help but smile, and said in her heart that the two were already gone. This kind of narrow-minded thing can only be done by Xu Fei, who bets that he wants someone to shave his eyebrows.

Luo Chuan said beside him: "The location of this leaf is so strange. ”

As soon as Zhu Qingheng said the matter, he nodded and didn't speak again. Walked to the river and took out a paper boat from his bosom.

Zhu Qingheng said dryly: "Let's use this to cross the river?" ”

Luo Chuan nodded, smiled mysteriously, and threw the paper boat into the river, the paper boat stopped falling at a height of about an inch from the river, it floated on the river, Luo Chuan recited a mantra, it quickly became larger, although the appearance is still the appearance of a paper boat, but it is already the size of an ordinary fishing boat, and it can carry five or six people. Then he took out a gray ceramic bottle, poured out a black pill from it and ate it, then handed the bottle to Zhu Qingheng, motioning for her to eat one too.

Luo Chuan jumped into the boat, he took a branch in his hand, and handed the other end of the branch to Zhu Qingheng. Zhu Qingheng carefully grabbed the branch and jumped into the river, and the soles of her shoes and the paper boat made a "bang" sound, so frightened that Zhu Qingheng hurriedly lowered her head to check whether the bottom of the boat had been pierced out by her.

Luo Chuan laughed at her movements: "Don't worry, this boat is specially used on this river." ”

Zhu Qingheng suddenly felt a sigh in his heart and asked, "Could it be that this river leads to the Yellow Spring?" After she finished speaking, her whole body became colder and colder, and there was a dead silence on the river, and even the apes on both sides seemed to have stopped crying.

Luo Chuan was driving the boat forward, and he was not surprised to hear her words, and said lazily: "Oh? Why? ”

Zhu Qingheng said: "Paper boat...... Isn't it often used to mourn the dead? ”

Luo Chuan said: "There is indeed such a saying, the pill we just took is called the Turtle Breath Pill, which is a medicine that makes the pulse beat slower and slower, the breathing slowly decreases, the body temperature is getting lower and lower, and finally the body enters a state of suspended animation." On this river, everything that is alive sinks, and it has to be eaten to get past it. However, no one has ever seen Huangquan, and who knows where its junction with the human world is. ”

Zhu Qingheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a trembling voice: "However, the fallen leaves are not alive, why did they sink too?" She pointed to the red leaves on the shore, just as a gust of wind blew, a few red leaves fell, and then sank into the water, which was very beautiful.

Luo Chuan said: "So there is a second theory, this river used to be a river for sending sacrifices, and only paper boats could float. The river was later renamed 'Hao Yi River' and became the only way out of Wushan. But even he did not dare to go all the way, and when he reached the right eye of the third figure, he had to land on the shore, and I heard that there were people who continued to row forward in the past, and none of them came back alive. And this turtle breath pill is just to not alarm some kind of existence and find a living sacrifice on the river."

Zhu Qingheng stammered: "People...... Portrait? ”

"That's it." Luo Chuan pointed ahead, Zhu Qingheng looked along, and saw that a huge human face was carved on the stone wall not far from the right hand side on the mountainside, this face had distinct facial features, slightly larger earlobes, and his eyes looked straight ahead, unable to distinguish between men and women. Although there is no expression on this face, it is full of indescribable weirdness and mystery. Zhu Qingheng was scared to death, but her heartbeat was beating very slowly under the effect of the Turtle Breath Pill, her expression was numb, and she couldn't break out in any cold sweat.

When she saw this face, she first thought of the stone statue of Easter Island, and soon deduced that this was the carving style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. King Nachuli was born four or five hundred years later, and this stone statue obviously has nothing to do with him.

I didn't know how long I drifted like this, and finally I saw a second face. At first glance, this face looks exactly the same as the first one, but it is faintly different. But it was too high, and their ship wasn't too far from the shore, so she couldn't see it clearly. It wasn't until they saw the third face that Luo Chuan drove the boat to the shore, and Zhu Qingheng looked back at the stone statue and finally understood the difference in the second face.

The eyes of the third face are half-closed, and a very thin waterfall flows down from the right eye. This waterfall is obviously of this size from a long time ago, because there is a slender mark left by the waterfall under the right eye of the human face over the years. To have this waterfall, it is obvious that a tunnel has to be dug out of the right eye of the human face to lead to a spring. So the second face, the difference between it and the first one is that the eyeball of the right eye is missing!
