Chapter 150: Ghost Village
When a faint fragrance wafted in, it took a long time for Qingxue to react, and it was normal for her already numb perception to suddenly feel something, and it was normal that she couldn't react. The fragrance was very fresh, and there was a sweet and silky feeling, very familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was for a while.
Asking where the smell wafted from, Qingxue walked this way, trying to think about what it is, some like flowers, some like tea, what is this?
It wasn't until the first old white tree appeared in front of her that Qingxue understood that this was the fragrance of acacia flowers, no wonder it was so familiar, but her brain was a little numb, and she didn't think of it for a while.
Since I saw the locust tree, the surrounding fog also receded all of a sudden, and a manor appeared not far away between the locust trees. The scale of the manor looks not small, the appearance is not the traditional blue tile and white wall, but a dull gray black, from a distance, it looks like a huge black shadow, standing in this gray wood.
The strange woods, the locust tree that is fragrant but is called the ghost tree, after this layer of covering, is such a dark and huge castle, if there is nothing in it, no one will believe it, and Qingxue at this time naturally does not believe it, so she did not hesitate, and walked inside.
Before I got to the door, a voice came "Hey, you can't go in"
This voice sounded close to her ears, and Qingxue was shocked in her heart, with her ability today, there were people around her, and she didn't even realize it. If it wasn't that she was affected by something, it was that this person's body was better than her, so she didn't notice it.
This voice sounds neutral. To be exact, she is more like a child, so she feels so surprised, it's not that she can't tolerate other people's martial arts better than her, but if this is a child, then no one will be happy in their hearts.
"I stumbled into this place by mistake, and I would like to ask Haihan to be presumptuous. I don't know who your Excellency is, please show up" Although I was surprised in my heart, there was no expression on my face under the veil. His eyes didn't fluctuate, he just said politely with his fists clenched.
A black dress fluttered down from the locust tree in front of him, most of the hem of the clothes were scattered on the ground at random, and the upper body stood up. With a small head. With black eyes, pink cheeks, and a red mouth, it looks like a porcelain doll carved in pink, and it is so cute that people can't take their eyes off it.
At this moment, those dark eyes were looking at her with curiosity, and some immature voices were deliberately lowered, pretending to be old, and said in a similar manner, "Hey, you can't go in."
Qingxue was originally a little serious and vigilant. When he saw this little man, he couldn't help but smile, and asked with kindness between his eyebrows, "Oh? Why can't I go in? "When I say the word 'I'. Qingxue's tone was deliberately aggravated, and the child's words just now were obviously targeted.
The little boy thought for a moment and shook his head, "You just can't go in anyway"
"Is there anything bad in there?" Qingxue continued to ask.
He subconsciously shook his head, and then nodded again, the little boy repeatedly emphasized that he would not let Qingxue in. Qingxue looked at him like this and asked again, "Could it be that there is something good in it, and you are afraid that I will steal it?" ”
The little boy still shook his head, Qingxue didn't know what he meant, and was about to continue to ask, but a female voice came out of the Zhuangzi, "Xiao Zuo, since the guests want to come in, you let her in."
When the little boy heard this, he was startled, but quietly stepped aside and gave way forward. Qingxue looked at the little boy, presumably he was the 'little left' in the woman's mouth, and then looked at the road leading to Zhuangzi, settled down, and continued to walk along the road towards Zhuangzi. Xiao Zuo seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he closed it again, and the words on his lips did not come out, but his eyes were a little more worried. Qingxue's eyes walked away, and she didn't look back again, and a woman in black silently appeared behind Xiao Zuo, gently pressed his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I don't think the owner of the village should be embarrassed by her." For so many years, there are not many people who have been able to walk through the misty ghost forest, and I think the owner just wants to find someone to talk to."
The little boy did not look back, his eyes were still fixed on the door of Zhuangzi, and his eyes were dark, like the gray mist not far away.
The road to the gate of Zhuangzi is not far, and for Qingxue, it is only a dozen steps away. The closer he got, the stronger the sense of oppression in this Zhuangzi, which was not found more than a dozen steps away.
The whole Zhuangzi is like a dormant beast, waiting to choose someone to devour, and a sense of fear can't help but rise in my heart, I don't know what is hidden in it. Although she felt uncomfortable, Qingxue still didn't pause, and glanced at the black plaque on the door, the sharp word 'Ghost Village', although it was ghostly, it still didn't make her stop.
Zhuangzi does not have a gate, and in this kind of place, even if there is no gate, few people can enter this threshold; After entering the empty gate, what I saw at a glance was a boulder, the material was the same as the two I saw before entering the misty ghost forest, only it was more huge, and there were more carvings on it, this boulder should be placed here to play the role of a shadow wall, but the handwriting on it was intriguing.
Qingxue walked into the boulder and tried to read the handwriting on the stone, these words were not as neat as the previous boulder, but very sloppy, some like ordinary wild grass, which could be carved on the stone in such a flowing way, and so deep, it seemed that the skill must be extraordinary.
'There are many afflictions in the world, love and hatred, and hatred; If you can't ask for love, you will be confused by hatred; Obsession is always bitter and grudges are difficult to decide; After seeing all the red dust, I finally returned to Huangquan; The ghost domain often cries, after all, it is difficult to understand the meaning 'This is the sentence in front of the boulder, Qingxue carefully identified it for a long time, before she could see these words, seeing this, she always felt weird, and went around to the back of the boulder, sure enough, there are words on it, but it seems to be incoherent with the front 'A deep sea in the red dust, there are thousands of knots in the heart, it is not as good as a bowl of Meng Po soup, but the past is from the beginning'. There was also a painting painted in the back, and Qingxue thought about it for a long time before she recognized it as a phoenix, the legendary immortal bird.
The phoenix carved on the stone is very good, every trace of feather texture is clearly visible, and the action of spreading its wings in the fire is even more lifelike, as if the next moment it will break free from the shackles of this boulder and soar in the sky; The words on this stone are also interestingly tight, Qingxue read it several times with interest, and then turned her head to look at the situation in the courtyard.
The situation in the courtyard is also very strange, the distance between the shadow wall and the main house is not as far as Qingxue thinks, according to the common sense of the building, it means that the courtyard should not be big, but Qingxue can't see where the courtyard walls on both sides are, there is obviously no fog in the forest, everything is so clear in her eyes, but she can't see the courtyard walls on both sides, with Qingxue's eyesight, this is almost impossible. What's more, before she came in just now, she had observed that although this Zhuangzi was big, it was not so big that it was beyond her eyesight.
After walking to the left for a while, she still couldn't see the courtyard wall, and when she looked left and right, nothing had changed, and it was still the scene she had just seen, and even the position where she was standing had not changed. Qingxue's face changed, no wonder the woman who invited her in just now was silent, and let her watch here. It turned out that no matter how she looked, she could only see what people wanted her to see.
Thinking of this, Qingxue no longer stays, and all this that she sees now no longer has any meaning, maybe, this is simply a disguised formation, and what you see is not necessarily true, so why waste time?
From the outside, this room didn't look wide or tall, but when Qingxue entered, she felt that the inside was unusually large. Yes, vast, she could only think of that word to describe the room she saw.
There was nothing furnished in the room, only eight thick pillars on the left and right supported the dome, and in front of it was a huge pool, and the water in the pool was so misty that it was impossible to see what it was. There is a wooden bridge in the middle that can only be crossed by one person, and the other end of the bridge is not far away, and it seems that there is a person sitting with his back to this side, but it is not clear how it is described.
Everything here reminded her of a place, the big hall when she first entered the game, it was also empty and wide, but this pool was different from the bridge, it was white like a fairyland, and here it was like the black of hell.
"Now that you're here, please come over and talk about it" is still the same female voice just now, in this empty place, the voice is even more ethereal, and the aftermath is endless.
Qingxue glanced at the wooden bridge in front of her, and the place where the voice came from was the other end of the bridge, and the person who could only see the outline should be the woman who made the invitation.
Walking slowly onto the wooden bridge, Qingxue looked left and right at the water in the pond, wanting to see if there would be any changes like the main hall. The first step did not change, the water in the pool was still foggy, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and in the second step, the water in the pool fluctuated slightly, revealing a scene, which was the content of her art on Ice Lotus Peak; After that, every step Qingxue takes, there will be changes in the pool, which are all things she has personally experienced in the game during this period of time, like a silent movie, interpreting her life in the inheritance.
Looking at the familiar people one by one, the memories that have been deliberately forgotten these days come back to her mind again, constantly replaying, and impacting her heart. I didn't want to look any further, especially the part where Leng Lone Star left, Qingxue ran quickly across the wooden bridge, her long sword was unsheathed, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the figure with her back to her, and said painfully, "Who are you, what's going on with this pool?" ”
The woman in black was still unmoved, even if the cold tip of the sword was against her neck, her voice was still so flat, and she didn't show any nervousness, "The girl has been tired all the way, and she is recovering from an old injury, so why don't you sit down first?" (To be continued......)
