Chapter 12: You Look Familiar
After she said this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but look around, indeed, there was no one of the various birds that could be seen everywhere on the mountainside, and even the sound of bird calls could not be heard, and the whole square only echoed the footsteps of Wang Zhi and Liang Bingji, which seemed empty and empty, which made people feel chills in their hearts, even at noon in the scorching sun, Wang Zhi could feel an inexplicable chill.
He couldn't help but look up at the sun, and when he turned his head to look at it, although the sun he saw was still that fiery red, it was strange that he could look directly with his eyes, and he didn't feel dazzling at all.
The square is very large, but Wang Zhi feels very depressed when he walks, as if there is a huge stone on top of his head, which makes people feel a little breathless.
Liang Bingji didn't speak, Wang Zhi couldn't find anything to say, and the three ghosts were cautiously silent, and everyone walked towards the opposite side silently.
It took several minutes for everyone to come to this side of the square, and when everyone just stepped out of the bluestone slab of the square, the heavy feeling of depression disappeared in an instant.
Wang Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just such a section of the road, he felt that it was more terrible than the mountain road up the mountain, although the road up the mountain was long, although steep, after all, it was quite fresh, it was still fragrant with birds and flowers, and this empty square inexplicably gave people a sense of vast and boundless desert, and being in it, it made people feel as if they were wrapped and surrounded.
He looked back at the empty square, and found that in addition to himself, the three ghosts behind him were also turning their heads to look.
Liang Bingji, who was only on the side, said a little more normally: "Tongtian Square is mysterious, we don't know what its use is, but this square is not ordinary, that's for sure." ”
Chiba withdrew his gaze from the square, looked at Liang Bingji and said, "It seems that there is more than this square in the world. ”
Liang Bingji nodded and said: "Yes, there are a total of eight branches of the Tongtian Sect in China that have such squares, which are located in eight directions, and I heard that it is exactly in line with the location of the gossip, but what it is, no one who knows it will say." He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Little people like us really don't know." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't explain, but turned around, raised his hand and said forward: "A few of you, please come down, the hall master has been waiting for a long time." ”
Wang Zhi and the others followed Liang Bingji forward seven or eight meters, bypassed a row of huge cypresses, and behind the big trees, they came to the cyan tower they had just seen.
The tower is not too tall, with a total of eight floors, just a little higher than the huge cypress trees around it, and the whole wooden tower is so dark that it is about the same color as the surrounding cypress trees.
Looking at this slightly old, mysterious and solemn and secluded tower, Wang Zhi immediately thought of the haunted haunted house, if this house is used for ghost films, especially at night, there is no need to decorate it.
Liang Bingji came to the gate of the lowest floor of the tower and stopped, stood sideways at the door and said, "Your Excellency and a few guests, please come in, the hall master is in the tower." ”
"Aren't you going?" Faced with such a strange tower, Wang Zhi suddenly felt a little bottomless in his heart, especially Liang Bingji, a living person, was also leaving, and he still brought three ghosts up, how could he think about it and feel a little wrong.
At this time, a majestic voice sounded around and said: "Lord Patrol City, please come in, the old man is a little inconvenient and can't greet him in person, please forgive me." This voice is the one Wang Zhi heard at the bottom of the mountain, I didn't expect the person who spoke to be in the tower, I really don't know if there is a tweeter installed at the gate of the mountain, otherwise this speech can spread so far?
Since someone was invited inside, Wang Zhi couldn't stand outside anymore, and carefully looked inside the open door, but the inside was a little dim and he couldn't see clearly, so he had to go inside.
The tower doesn't look big from the outside, but it's quite empty when you walk in, and the whole tower is completely hollow, with a skylight in the middle of the top of the tower, and a not-so-bright sunlight radiates from above, which is the only lighting in the tower.
Through this dim light, Wang Zhi probably saw the layout of the tower, the whole tower is actually a study, the inner wall of the tower is full of bookshelves, from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower, dense and can not feel any gaps, and between these bookshelves, a spiraling staircase starts from the bottom of the tower, and rotates up to the skylight at the top of the tower.
Wang Zhi took the three ghosts into the tower, and when they were looking around, a black figure slowly walked out from the shadow at the bottom of the tower, and said as he walked: "Hello Lord Wang, the old man is a little sick, and he can't welcome the presence of adults. ”
Wang Zhi heard the voice, shivered inexplicably, and then looked over along the voice, but the light in the tower was too dim, and he could only roughly see that this was a man's figure, and even he was wearing a black cloak, and the others were really not clear, Wang Zhi looked at this figure, and always felt a little weird, but he still said politely: "The hall master is polite, polite." ”
The man across from him smiled softly, then raised his hand.
The originally quiet tower suddenly came with a slight squeak, in these chaotic squeaks, the entire inner wall of the tower moved, less than a breath, the originally dense books, the bookshelf suddenly flipped over, just under Wang Zhi's eyelids, all disappeared, and the dense trees outside appeared in front of him so abruptly, of course, there was still something left, that is, the staircase that winds all the way up, but now the staircase has become a piece of wood floating out of thin air, It still presents a sinuous posture and keeps upward.
Wang Zhi couldn't figure out what this trick was, but he was very uncomfortable with these sudden changes, especially the light that suddenly became bright, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then he lowered his head again and looked at the man opposite.
At this time, there was no difference between the light and the woods outside, and the man's face was finally clearly revealed, it turned out that he was not wearing a black cloak, but a pure black robe that was too wide, this robe was very large, covering him tightly from head to toe, only one head was still outside, as for this head, it was a **ten-year-old man, with gray hair, a bun on the top of his head, and his beard was also white, and it was very long, and even a little fluttering slightly on his chest.
As for that face, although it was old, it was a little familiar, so Wang Zhi couldn't help but look at it twice and said, "Are you?" Kind of familiar! ”
