38. The past is a mystery
Panting heavily, sweat wet his hair, Jie Ya tugged at his collar in the hope of being cooler, his eyes were only half open, and Ruoxin gasped sharply beside him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They were lying flat on the floor, their heads no more than a foot apart.
Ruoxin nervously squeaked with her fingernails on the wooden floor, and everything above her head trembled slightly.
Jieya reached out and touched her gently, and the two quickly fell silent and sat up separately.
This place is located right in the head of the idol, and the huge round window hole is just the eye of the idol, and the position of the eye is inlaid with a whole black rock, I don't know what substance it contains, this thing not only has countless edges and corners, but also exudes a refined light.
The floor is round one after another, like rows of seats, and there are no traces of polishing.
In the center, a little lower, a goat lay there, its eyes covered with a white veil and a slanted scale in its mouth.
It was like a soft collapsing, half a paw against a scroll on the ground.
The long scroll stood high at his side, and the closer he got to the bottom, the older it became, the more yellow and torn it was, and it was densely covered with things.
The sheep had dark red blood spots on their bodies, and it seemed that there had been a fight here.
Cliff walked cautiously towards that side, Ruoxin following behind, occasionally raising her head to look at the ceiling worriedly.
There hung a dozen men, uniformly dressed in gray linen robes, their hair twisted up and tied to the beams, their toes pointing vertically at the ground.
The two men passed through the bottom, the eyelids of those things sewn into the brow bone, and they both rolled their eyes and stared at them all the way, their bodies shaking slightly from time to time, and occasionally grinning, but their mouths were the size of half a face.
Cliff quickly crouched down beside the goat, looking back and forth carefully.
Ruoxin hurriedly stepped forward and patted him with his hand: "Don't move!" ”
I saw that the skin and flesh of the goat had been cleaned up, and it was stuffed with slag like wood shavings, but it was as green as a plant.
It seems that it is this thing that keeps the goats intact.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of claws scratching the floor behind him.
The two turned back suddenly, only to see a girl crawling there with her upper body lowered, just in the way of blocking the staircase, her limbs stretched out long on both sides, but her back was strangely abrupt, her hair was broken, her mouth was open, and her saliva fell on the ground with a "popping" sound.
She swayed and leaned over slowly, like a giant gecko, but she didn't dare to get too close.
The two of them stood in place for a moment.
Ruoxin glanced at the cliff in the direction where the monster was, and the cliff raised his hand blankly and pointed to his chest, and asked with his mouth, "Me?" ”
She crooked her mouth and smiled sinisterly, pushing the cliff out.
Cliff staggered a few steps forward, and the monster bared its teeth and grinned, bounced up and hugged him.
Suddenly unable to stand the force under his feet, he was completely pressed to the ground, his long claws wrapped around his back, and his tongue curled back and forth along his lips, spraying a spit star on his face.
At such a close distance, the cliff can finally see clearly.
The eyes that were about to bulge were open sleeplessly, and the thin skin was dry under the eye sockets. The whole face was full of knife cuts, and the large and small white flesh looked like countless mouths, and the tip of the nose was cut off, and a small bone could be seen.
She swayed her upper body and rubbed it, looking for a place to put her mouth down.
Jie Ya's hand subconsciously resisted the monster's head, and made a frightened appearance with full cooperation, and did not forget to scold in his mouth: "It wants to eat me!" You're not from the empty hall, aren't you...... Don't come and help yet! ”
Seeing that half of his head was about to be bitten off, Ruoxin had already raised the dagger at this end, and at the same time, he turned around with the back of one hand and grabbed the hilt of his knife, and the monster's mouth had reached his ear.
Ruoxin hurriedly searched for her back and pounced quickly, clasping her neck with one hand, and poking down with the other, the whole knife stuck in the back of her head.
The monster screamed in pain, but could not see the person who had hurt him, so he could only release his claws, turn back and scratch his back.
At this moment, Jie Ya lay down and quickly put the knife out and quietly retracted it.
Ruoxin deftly dodged left and right, lifted the knife and rolled beside it.
A stinky mist of blood spewed a thin line in the air, and the monster twitched in place for a moment, then fell to the ground and shrunk into a ball.
Ruoxin hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and the thing gradually turned into a puddle of soft meat as if it had run out of breath, and then there was no movement.
She wiped her forehead with her sleeve and was sprayed on the ground.
Jie Ya hurriedly turned over, lifted Ruoxin, who was still overjoyed, and pointed quickly towards the ceiling.
Only then did she remember, so she hurriedly climbed a few steps with both hands and followed the cliff down the long ladder.
The two of them, who managed to escape, got out of the gate on the statue and finally stood on the solid ground.
The clothes on his body were already half soaked with sweat, and the hair around his ears was still hanging with water, Ruoxin shook the dagger in his hand, and he didn't have time to wipe it: "How is it, I'm amazing!" ”
Jie Ya couldn't help but shake her head, and while watching her carefully put the dagger back, she asked, "What about the Holy Maiden?" The Holy Maiden is really not on the top! ”
Ruoxin came back to his senses and confirmed with him with a cherished feeling: "Why, you are also here to find her?" ”
"You know?"
He laughed inexplicably, and quickly held Ruoxin's shoulder with his hand, as if he had changed into a different person, and his eyebrows and eyes radiated a light of expectation.
"Yes," Ruoxin nodded nervously and took a step back, "Lan Ling and I grew up together......"
"Lan Ling?" He suddenly froze his expression and asked in disbelief, "What did you say...... The saint's name is Lan Ling? ”
Ruoxin didn't know how to answer for a long time, and his two shoulders were buckled by him, and with the rapid exertion of his fingertips, he only felt the pain of eating his heart.
Jieya was so anxious by her appearance that she laughed a few times like crazy, and shouted and kept confirming: "How is it possible...... I saw her taken away that day! You lied to me! You must be lying to me! ”
A burst of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, Ruoxin shook off the hand that broke away from the cliff, and pushed him with disdain: "What are you doing!" Who is the holy woman, Lord Mu's books are clearly written, if you don't believe it, go and see for yourself! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, although he was about to leave angrily, he still felt indescribably aggrieved.
Jieya stubbornly followed a few steps back and stopped her, at this time Ruoxin's eyes were already full of tears, and when she raised her head again, she actually had a fierce appearance.
"You wait!" He groped around the placket, took out a crumpled piece of paper and drew it for a long time before unfolding it under Ruoxin's nose, "Look...... You see, this person was taken away when she was choosing a saint seven years ago, and her name is Zixi...... Do you know each other? ”
