Chapter 187: Mountain Desert House
Looking at the building in front of him, which he didn't know what to do, Chaolu walked cautiously.
The white stone pillars covered with vines and plants surround the high platform in the center of the clearing, which looks like some kind of altar used in religious ceremonies, and although the building looks dilapidated, it is faintly clear that it once had a solemn sù mu.
Walking up the stone steps to the altar, Chaolu found a boxy stone under the hideous statue, and when he looked closely, he saw that the six sides of the stone were divided into several squares of equal size, which looked like a ...... Rubik's Cube? Soon even she herself was thundered by this fleeting thought, is there a mistake here, but ancient yes~ But bending down and picking it up and putting it in your hand, it's really very similar, isn't the regular nine-square grid asking for directions the shape of the Rubik's Cube? After looking back and forth for a long time, she decided to twist it and try it—"I'll it, it's so hard to get out of the way!" ”
I don't know if this design can be twisted or not, she can't even use the internal force to shake it, so she can only give up panting.
But I always felt that there was a mystery in this, so I simply sat under the statue and fiddled with it.
Well, is it the wrong way? She remembers that when she was a child, she would only spell out one side when she played the Rubik's Cube, but now she can't even spell out one side after so many years.
A certain woman, who was concentrating on studying the Rubik's Cube, did not notice that the stone disk under her ass was moving at an extremely slow speed, spinning and opening and closing a thin gap as if pushing a stone mill......
"Oops!"
Suddenly, her body was empty, and the vision in front of her quickly darkened, and her whole body fell vertically into an inexplicable place.
"It's painful...... die," a certain woman rubbed her buttocks and stood up scolding.
Fortunately, this height was not up to the point of falling to death, and when I looked up at the top of my head, I saw that the round hole was quickly closed, as if it was specially saved to pit her.
It's a trap again!
Squinting his eyes to adapt to the dark environment, he found that the space he fell into was not an ordinary hole, but a very regular shape, and the surrounding walls were also polished and shiny, and even artificially carved with many complex patterns, it was like an underground secret room.
What's even more peculiar is that even in such a confined space with a lack of natural light, the walls made of unknown materials can emit a faint luster, but the lighting effect is very weak.
Her instinct told her that there must be something strange about this place, so her curiosity came up at once, and she walked forward with her hand on the cool wet wall, and only then did she see the closed stone door in front of her.
It seems that this place is only an entrance, and it is not known where the gate leads to guò.
When I walked to the stone gate, I found that there was a lifelike head of a strange beast carved on the door, like a dragon but not a dragon, like a snake but not a snake, and the horns on the head were like elk......
Chaolu raised his hand and touched the bronze head, making sure that there was no danger before he got closer to observe.
I don't know why I always feel that there is something strange in the mouth of the black hole beast, and I don't dare to reach in and touch it rashly, what if I touch something again?
I pinched the stone cube in my hand, and I wanted to try it if I threw this thing in?
There was no way, and there were no other utensils nearby for her to use, so she had to tentatively put the stone cube in the big mouth of the blood basin of the four different beasts, and gently pushed-"Knock knock." ”
Fell in!
It looks like it's really hollow inside......
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a black hard object squirted out of the beast's mouth with a "whoosh", hitting Chaolu's forehead with great accuracy.
"Ah, it hurts! Damn, you broken stone dare to spit out me-" The swollen forehead instantly hurt so much that she bared her teeth, bent down to pick up the thing that squirted out of the mouth of the strange beast and looked at it, good fellow, isn't it the Rubik's Cube she threw in a moment ago! Could it be that this stone beast spit out because it tastes wrong? That's a bit too mysterious, isn't it......
But after a closer look, she found that the nine-square grid on the stone cube seemed to be different from before - she clearly remembered that the squares on the six sides before throwing it in were scattered, but when she picked it up, it became much more regular, could it be that the stone beast could also spell the Rubik's cube?
Try pushing with your fingers again, and the Rubik's Cube grid that had been broken by internal force and still didn't move can now be easily transferred - maybe it was spit out because it didn't get it right? Well, try again~ There is no other way to get to this point, she can only play this game that she is not good at.
But she fought several times piecemeal, and every time she threw it in and was returned, she was so angry that she punched and kicked the four stone beasts, and finally her hands were swollen and her feet were numb......
But at the moment when he had already decided to give up tinkering, the stone beast head let out a sharp hiss, and the heavy stone door slowly moved to the sides to open a crack in the door that was just enough to pass through Guò alone.
Chaolu felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, this mechanism is too pitiful!
Without much thought, he raised his feet and walked in, but the crack in the door closed with a "bang".
I didn't expect that behind the stone gate was a long and narrow tunnel, and the intersection of the black hole was like a monster with a big mouth, which made people shudder just by looking at it.
But there was no regret about taking the medicine, and after the stone door closed, there was only this tunnel left in the entire field of vision, and no matter where it led, you had to muster up the courage to walk through.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with Shumo by your side, he will bless me!" I touched the spirit bead around my neck and muttered a few words in my mouth, but just after I finished speaking, I thought about it and felt that something was not right, bless you! It's not the Buddha Avalokiteshvara......
Settle your mind and walk along the stone wall of the tunnel.
The wind in front of him was rushing towards him, and theoretically there should be a way out, but I don't know what the purpose of such an underground passage is for the Truth Cult, and he pretended to be a ghost and dug a trap under the altar.
I walked like this for a while, and sure enough, I saw a bright light at the intersection in front of me!
There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he hurriedly accelerated his speed and ran forward......
At the end of the road, I finally walked out of the tunnel, and in the vast night overhead, I could see a small courtyard with a bamboo fence in front of me through the not bright starlight and moonlight.
The head short-circuited for a few seconds, is there still a human residence in a place where this bird doesn't?!
The weeds on both sides of the stone path are already so deep that they haven't been taken care of for a long time, and the rusty door locks and peeling fence walls suggest that the mountain courtyard may have been abandoned for a long time.
Unable to hide the curiosity in her heart, she still held her breath and cautiously walked into the courtyard, with tables, chairs and benches.
It was only when she reached the door of the main house that she stopped in fear, hesitating whether to push open the dusty wooden door.
Take a deep breath and bold, then raise your hand to push the door lock.
The door opened with a "crunch", and the dust falling from the roof made Aruo cough uncontrollably-"Ahem, ahem, how long has it been since this has been cleaned......" grumbled as he walked into the room.
The house was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, but fortunately, I found a fire fold on the shelf next to the door, and quickly lit it for lighting.
To be honest, she was quite scared in her heart, alone in this abandoned house in the deep mountains and old forests, it was a big night, and she couldn't help but feel numb when she thought of the legends of those ghosts and ghosts.
However, when she turned around, she saw a person in black sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed against the wall, and she was so frightened that her heart twitched violently, and she almost threw the fire and turned around and ran.
"You, you...... Who are you?! She reflexively took a few steps back and brought the fire fold forward.
No one answered her.
The faint light from the fire fold swept over the face of the man on the bed, revealing a white and miserable skeletal face!
"Ahh
Chaolu, who was frightened by this sudden scene, ran out of the room with a blue face, holding his knees with his hands and panting, how could there be a dead person in it!
In the midst of the panic, the brain was running rapidly, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
patted her chest and stood up straight, her little heart was frightened by the scene just now, if she had seen such a thing before crossing over, it is estimated that she would have to roll her eyes and faint directly.
Gritting his teeth, he picked up the fire fold that had fallen on the ground and walked back into the house, constantly reassuring himself that he was just a person who had been dead for a long time, and that there was nothing to be afraid of.
Back in the house, the man who had turned into a skeleton was still sitting on the bamboo bed with his knees crossed, and Chao Lu guessed in his heart that most of the people were martial arts masters in his life, and he didn't know what he encountered when he meditated and practiced before he died here silently.
Take a few steps closer to observe the clothes on the dead man, the high-quality dark pattern Shu brocade fabric with the white jade belt hook knows that it is worth a lot at a glance, maybe this person's identity is quite noble!
"This eldest brother is still an uncle, you must not blame the little woman for disturbing your rest in the spirit of heaven, I ......can't help it" Afraid of provoking this lonely ghost to make him uneasy, Chaolu rubbed his palms and prayed sincerely while using the light emitted by the fire fold to see if there was anything suspicious around the skeleton.
Upon examination, she found that the corpse was in good condition, with no holes in the body punctured by a sharp weapon, and in a very peaceful posture, almost like a ...... Suicide?!
accidentally touched the bamboo bed, and then a long strip fell from the man's clothes.
Chaolu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and through the faint light, he could see that it was a dagger with exquisite workmanship, and the handle sheath was inlaid with jewels and gemstones, which looked very luxurious.
"It's ......"
Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the few upright and sturdy fonts carved on the handle of the dagger.
Helian is not dead......
, isn't this the big devil sect leader whose whereabouts were unknown twenty years ago that Han Baixiao said?!
