167 It's not that simple!
There is no need to describe how amazing the Star Cave is, but the person who built this Star Cave is definitely a master of psychology, otherwise Han Xu really can't imagine that there is anyone who can play people thousands of years later, every step, every detail is judged so finely, and everyone is applauded!
Just when Han Xu thought that the word Star Cave had become a memory, a piece of parchment that suddenly appeared told him that things were far from so simple! The parchment paper was already a little yellowed because it was too old, and the corners were also a little damaged, looking at this paper roll that suddenly fell out of the bottom of the ancient lamp, Han Xu suddenly had an ominous premonition......
********************
"When you see this parchment, no matter what your situation is, at least it proves that you are alive. Don't think that you can let your guard down once you have regained your freedom, and from this moment on, cheer for every breath you breathe. β
"It's rare to be able to escape from the many traps in Linglong's prison, and it's a shame to throw it away after only playing it once? So...... Let's keep the game going! β
"The rules of the game are very simple, everyone who enters the Linglong Prison will be automatically marked with a mark, once someone breaks the Linglong Prisoner, then when the holder of the glass cup leaves the sensing range of the star cave, the glass cup will pop out of the parchment, and the mark will be activated. If you still have doubts about my words, then raise your left arm, there must be an inconspicuous thin line at the place of your left wrist, of course, I prefer to call it Broken Heart Gu. I guess I don't need to explain what it does with such a concise name, right? β
"Of course, the Heartbroken Heart Gu is not inexplicable, during this period, every 12 hours, the glass cup will produce enough lamp oil for four people, and every time a portion of lamp oil is eaten, it can cause damage once, and when the total amount of lamp oil in the body reaches 20 days, the Heartbroken Heart Gu will automatically die. On the contrary, every 12 hours, the Heartbroken Gu will grow by a bit, do you want to hear the sound of your heart breaking after 20 days? β
"Maybe you're so excited to hear the news that you've forgotten to think about it, so I'll help you analyze your current situation. As for you, it is possible to face three situations, the first is that the number of survivors is less than four, then you may be able to spend these 20 days in peace; The second is that there are more than four survivors, but you are one of the lucky ones, and you are the only one who sees this parchment; Third, you are unlucky enough to open the parchment in front of everyone when there are more than four survivors...... How's that, this game is fun, right? β
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that there are far more competitors than you think! Enjoy the surprise, it's really exciting......"
******************
Sitting in the hotel room and reading this long and exhaustive list, even with Han Xu's temperament, he forcibly crushed the teacup in his hand, and the green tendons on his forehead had a tendency to evolve like tentacles.
I can't live this day!
At one point, he even felt the urge to chop off his left hand to see what would happen, but his arms were no longer flesh and blood. It's just that this idea was quickly rejected by him.
First of all, he didn't believe that the obscene and scoundrel nature of the Star Cave would give such a simple and straightforward solution, and it was even very likely that it was similar to his soul seal. (The soul seal is engraved on his soul, and it is really the soul in the sense of immortality, and the imprint is indestructible)
Secondly, his left hand can grow again after chopping it off, what about the others? Will they do it? The answer is obvious, unless they are really desperate, who will have nothing to do with the palm of their hand?
However, if it was just him, Han Xu's reaction would not have been so big. For a guy who has been dead for a long time and has been alive and kicking around by a knife piercing his heart, is it okay to be weak and explosive by the heartbreaker?
It's just that...... He wasn't the only one who fell for this heartbreaking Gu!
I brought them into the Star Cave in the first place, so I have an obligation to keep them safe! Han Xu's eyes were full of coldness, and he clenched his fists fiercely.
Although he was very shameless and lost his limit at some times, he never gave in on some matters of principle! Perhaps it is precisely because of the simplicity revealed in his essence that he can have more and more friends, and people can be sincere with him unconsciously.
The end of the season jumped from the couch onto his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Meow! [I'm in trouble now]"
"Well, there's trouble."
************************
Although it was not an urgent matter, after thinking for a moment, Han Xu still called them all out of his room. Such a thing, whether for reasons of security or for reasons of trust, cannot be delayed.
"I said what are you tossing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, don't you know that lack of sleep is a woman's worst enemy." Ye Zi, who was wearing pajamas, took a sip of coffee from his cup and asked with a sigh. Han Xu took this opportunity to glance at her left hand, and a thin black line was engraved on her snow-white wrist.
Han Xu sighed secretly, this guy didn't get out of this crisis in the end, but it was the end of the season that didn't belong to humans, maybe even the star cave couldn't tell where a cat's left wrist was, so it was lucky to escape.
"Hey!" Ye Zi gently kicked him with his foot.
"Ah, I'm sorry." When he came back to his senses, Han Xu smiled apologetically, and then put the parchment roll on the coffee table in the living room under the inquiring eyes of everyone. "I don't want to do that either, but I think you should take a look at this."
"Lingwen!" As soon as the parchment roll was opened, Su Lang and the others suddenly looked at each other in surprise.
Lingwen has been handed down from ancient times, and it is impossible to study who invented it, but it is the most special font in the psychic world. Only those who have mana can view the specific content of Lingwen, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a complete bunch of garbled characters.
It's just that in recent years, science and technology have become more and more developed, and there are fewer and fewer places to use spiritual texts, and even the divine operators who travel south and north haven't seen spiritual texts for almost seven or eight years.
Something that can be recorded in spiritual writing is naturally not a trivial matter, so articles written in spiritual writing, no matter what is written, are worth their look.
Several people only read half of the ten lines at a glance and couldn't read anymore, and they turned their heads to look at their left arm, and a black line on their left wrist that was as thin as a toothpick and unnoticeable was so shocking to them at the moment.
"It's a ghost." The god operator smiled bitterly and touched his wrist.
"Indeed, the three choices listed above are a scheming, and every word is inducing evil seeds in people's hearts, and if the mind is not firm, it is easy to fall into the way." Lichen nodded approvingly, "It's too vicious." β
"As you can see, we are being counted by the Star Cave again." Han Xu took out the ancient lamp as he spoke, pushed it to the center of the coffee table, glanced at their gloomy faces, and said in a deep voice, "So this glass cup is not suitable for me to keep alone." β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between everyone suddenly became awkward. There must be more than four of them combined, so how is this lamp oil distributed? It was the Buddha who cut the meat and fed the eagle, how could he give in at the real moment of life and death?
At this time, the value of the ancient lamp is self-evident, but who is in charge of it has become a problem. After all, this is an object that is related to the lives of several people, and it is better to hand it over to anyone than to hold it in your own hands. But......
Several people glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little eager and a little hesitant when they looked at the ancient lantern.
"This ancient lamp...... It's better to put it away, Brother Han. After a long silence, it was the divine operator who took the lead in making a statement, "First of all, the ability we have here to conceal items is not as good as yours, and if you keep it, it will be safer in the face of foreign enemies." Secondly, this ancient lamp was originally obtained by your efforts, and it belongs to you, zuihou...... The fact that you can tell you nothing about such a life-threatening event is enough to prove your character. β
As soon as his words came out, several other people also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Su Lang, a man of action, even stretched out his hand to push the ancient lamp back in front of Han Xu to prove his position.
"Cut, slut, what's the quality...... De ......" took the parchment roll and carefully examined the leaves, turned his head and glanced at Han Xu, muttering softly, but there were unstoppable ripples in the heart lake. The man with a light smile in front of him, even after getting along for so long, still can't see through it......
****************
"Okay then." Han Xu didn't say much about this result, he didn't touch the ancient lamp that was close at hand, but instead changed his words: "Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, I think the top priority is the next question of survival, although everyone is avoiding it, but ...... How should these four lamp oils be distributed? β
Everyone is equal, who can be discarded, and who should be abandoned? If this problem is not handled well, the consequences will be ...... Disastrous.
"Wait a minute...... I think this is the last thing to be done right now. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zi suddenly sang against him, and in the face of the surprised eyes of several people, she raised the parchment roll in her hand, "I have just carefully studied it from beginning to end several times, and I found that there is a language trap in it." The 20 days mentioned in the copy is only a limited period, and it does not say that it must be taken continuously, which means that we have at least 19 days left for self-help. I'm sure there must be other solutions! β
Her words immediately lifted the spirits of several people, took the parchment and looked at it again, and then they all sighed.
"Miss Ye is really quick-witted!" Su Lang praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Qingyan smiled but did not speak.
"Let's go our separate ways, what are you going to do?" After all, the god operator was old and serious, and he quickly walked out of his joy and asked.
"Although the problem has been solved for the time being, we still cannot let our guard down. We fell into the Heartbroken Heart Gu, so there is no reason why they should not be hit, they are always a big hidden danger for us, and we have to guard against the surprises mentioned in the copy. Han Xu reminded.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! It's been a while since I've been away from the division, and it's time to go back. Lichen said with a smile.
"It's not that simple, I don't believe that you, a sword idiot, don't have any thoughts about the broken You Xi. I remember that you Wutai and Shuiyue Mountain Villa are not far away. The god operator quipped. Water Moon Villa is the leader of the current psychic world casting line, if you want to find a place where you can repair You Xi's sword, then except for Water Moon Villa, you really don't think about it.
"By the way, by the way." Lichen smiled.
"Amitabha, the little monk is also going back to Shaolin Temple, so I can't trouble the abbot. And I think there might be a record of Heartbroken Gu in the Scripture Pavilion. Zhikong whispered.
"By the way, speaking of which, I remembered." Han Xu patted his head and reached out to take out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "This is an elixir obtained in the Star Cave, which can greatly increase the speed of the user, you take it back to the elders of the Shaolin Temple to see if you can make a replica." β
The effects of the use of the Swift Pill and the Leopard Talisman can be stacked, and Han Xu still has suffered several losses in terms of speed, so he has infinite enthusiasm for this kind of thing that can increase speed.
βhaodeγβ Zhikong took it and nodded.
"In addition, the star key has been merged with the star cave, but zuihou has this left, so you can take it back as well." Han Xu flipped his hand and handed a small silver Buddha statue to Zhikong.
This Buddha statue was decorated behind the star key before, and from the various characteristics of the star key, this Buddha statue does not know what comes with the key, but it seems to be a Buddha door seal. The things that can seal the star key, I'm afraid it's not simple.
"I'm going home. The ice core has been obtained, and the daughter-in-law's illness cannot be delayed any longer. "To be able to marry a man like Su Lang, his wife is undoubtedly happy.
"What about Brother Pei? Where are you going? The god operator asked the coffin face. This little transparent with a very low sense of existence didn't know his name until not long ago, Pei Ran.
ββ¦β¦ Ice City. The coffin said with a blank face. His wet husband was caught on the spot by his wet lady because he secretly went to Sanya to see the swimsuit beauty two months ago, and now he should still be confined in Maoshan Pass.
"After asking around, you still haven't said what you're going to do?" Han Xu knocked on the table.
"Hey, I have no sect, what can I do? Let's go back together. The god operator poured himself a cup of tea, "Miss Ye's psychic master has just awakened, and I will be a teacher." β
"Okay, in that case, Ye Zi, you can book a ticket now, without further ado, we will leave early tomorrow morning. Please be sure to turn on the machine 24 hours a day, no matter what happens, be sure to rush back to the ice city within 19 days. Han Xu put away the glass cup and said solemnly.
***************************
It is not an exaggeration to say that the night of Hoh Xil is dripping into ice, and the flowing sand dunes in the desert come and go, and the bright moonlight sways on this magical land.
Rumble!
A sand dune suddenly cracked, and three men with gloomy faces walked out of the yellow sand flying in the sky.
"A lesson." The scribe flicked the gray robe that had thrown off a lot of dust, and said with a sigh.
"Hmm." Jinglun also rarely agreed. was so like child's play, even he felt uncomfortable after a long time.
"Why just the three of us?" Duan Tianwolf swept around and asked in surprise. Compared with the scribes and Jinglun who did not have a deep friendship, Chongyun, a guy who was also an enemy and friend to him, was more interested in him.
When the scribe heard this, his right finger quickly calculated, and after a while, he pointed in a certain direction, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a strong wind blew tons of yellow sand, and a not too strong smell of blood immediately filled the nostrils of the three people.
Duan Tianwolf frowned, and took a few steps forward with heavy steps, the big pit that had been burned by the flames before was restored in its original form, and Chongyun's remnants were lying quietly in this charred ground, and there was a brown spot around his body that seemed to be left by the dried blood.
"After more than ten years of hard work, such a fate ......" Duan Tianwolf stood still for a long time, sighed silently, and filled the pit with his hands.
They met more than ten years ago and fought together for more than ten years, and seeing him fall here at this moment, Duan Tianwolf, who should have been happy, felt a burst of sadness for no reason.
Maybe one day, I will die humbly in a corner like him. I just don't know if anyone will come and sprinkle a handful of dirt on him at that time.
"Look at this!" Suddenly, the voice of a scribe came from behind him, Duan Tianluo took a shabby bamboo slip in surprise, and then he froze. Raising his left wrist, the black Heartbroken Heart Gu stubbornly coiled on it.
"It's endless!" Duan Tianwolf's face turned white, and his irritable roar spread far away in the empty desert.
"It seems that the Star Cave hasn't had fun yet." The scribe carefully looked at the parchment roll again, and didn't know what he found, the corners of his mouth hooked, and Sen Leng's eyes secretly swept over Jing Lun and Duan Tianwolf, and then returned to normal, "Then have a good time with it again!" β
******************
Hoh Xil is known as the most complex ecosystem, and in some ways it is not a boo. In a certain underground river, the dripping water is flowing happily into the distance.
Wow -
The figure of a man stood up with a splash, and the rushing river hit him as if he had encountered an indestructible rock, and he had to let the stubborn figure divert down.
"I haven't ...... yet Are you dead......" The man's voice was rough, revealing some joy and confusion, "but I remember Mingming......"
After a moment of silence, the man broke through the waves and stepped onto the shore and shook off the water stains on his body.
Dang Chang -
A metal plaque fell from him to the ground. The man bent down suspiciously to pick it up, and took a closer look at it through the faint light from nowhere, and only saw half of it, and his eyes fell on his left wrist, where there was also an inconspicuous black line.
The man stood for a long time, and suddenly grinned, and his teeth seemed to be flashing with cold light.
"This kind of liveliness, how can there be less of my grandson Tu Ling!" In the sound of daxiao, he walked step by step along the river with steps heavier than a mountain.
As a madman, Gongsun Tu Ling is very competent.
It is no accident that a figure like him appears, one after another appears in the vast land of Hoh Xili, in every unobtrusive corner. They have only one purpose.
Stay alive!
A feast that has been carefully planned for thousands of years is slowly unveiling.

Damn, sleeping broke my right arm, and I didn't dare to move, not to mention a decline!
This chapter is knocked out little by little with the left paw......
