Chapter Forty-Eight: Spirit Stone
There was silence in Cui's water prison.
Maybe it's because Cui Yichen is not there, there are no prisoners in the water prison, and there is no one on the platform. The water dungeon was silent, and even rats did not appear.
Wen Xuan quickly understood, "Childe, you want to use Linghua to save me?"
The young man who was looking for something turned around, looked at Wen Xuan, and nodded heavily.
Wen Xuan was groaned in pain again, but he still said seriously: "Childe, life and death are fate, I Wen Xuan never believes in becoming an immortal, nor is he afraid of death, you can't force yourself." ”
The young man ignored Wen Xuan and continued to look for something.
Suddenly, a light flashed in the boy's eyes, and he flew down, tapping on a slightly protruding rock in the corner, and stepping down hard.
Wen Xuan could hardly believe his eyes, the protruding rock actually retracted in its entirety, and he trembled under him, under the protruding platform, above the water, a stone door creaked open.
The boy jumped back to the platform, picked up Wen Xuan, and then jumped into the stone cave. After the two entered, the stone door slammed shut again.
"Could it be a trap?"
The boy shook his head.
Wen Xuan thought to himself, "Childe is so sure, there must be nothing wrong. ”
The boy pinched the fire and lit up the damp and gloomy cavern. There are various strange stones in the cave, and there are stalactites hanging upside down on the roof of the cave like ice cubes. From time to time, water droplets fell from the roof of the cave, hitting the heads and bodies of the boy and Wen Xuan.
The cave is bigger than you think, and there are many forks in the road.
The young man hugged Wen Xuan, tapped the ground, and walked like flying.
After walking through a few forks in the road, the boy and Wen Xuan both found that they had returned to their original places. Can't really move forward.
The young man frowned, as if he was thinking seriously, Wen Xuan looked at those forked roads, but he didn't see any doorway.
The young man put Wen Xuan on a big stone in the middle of the road, and sent spiritual power to Wen Xuan from the Yin Hall, Wen Xuan couldn't help but hum, and the pain in his body was relieved a lot. The boy changed directions and chose a different branch road at the fork in the road, but after walking for a long time, he returned to his original place.
The boy stopped walking, but drew his sword, and drew the whole road he had just walked on the ground according to his memory, and after the drawing, both of them found that there was no road here at all, no matter which direction they chose or which road they chose, they would finally return to the original point, that is, the big stone where the boy and Wen Xuan were.
"It turns out that this is not a formation, it is a labyrinth with no exit. Wen Xuan groaned and sighed, "Don't worry, let's look for it slowly, there will always be flaws." ”
The boy walked back and forth a few more times, adding a few branching roads back to the map.
Wen Xuan lay on the stone and watched the young man busy.
After a while, Wen Xuan said: "I said don't try it, this is not a formation that wants people to go out at all, no matter how we go, we can't get out." ”
When the young man heard this, he looked at Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan said: "Childe, how do you know that there is a secret room in the water prison?"
The young man pointed to the placket of Wen Xuan's chest.
Wen Xuan suddenly realized, "You mean, the withered branches? The withered branches sensed Linghua in the water prison, then there must be Linghua in this water prison, and Cui Yichen has not found Linghua until now, which means that there is a secret room in the water prison!"
The boy nodded.
Wen Xuan sighed and said, "It's a pity, the dead branches and half of the jade pendant were all searched by the Li family. ”
The young man walked a few more forks in the road, but he returned to the original point again and again, he felt slightly tired, so he sat next to Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan inhaled in pain and said, "Childe, I don't know why, with you, I feel that I am not afraid of anything, I am not afraid of death, I am not afraid of life, I am not afraid of becoming an immortal, and I am not afraid of reincarnation." ”
The boy was silent, still staring at the loop map on the ground.
Wen Xuan said to himself: "Actually, I was afraid of everything, afraid of the dark, afraid of death, afraid of loneliness, afraid of tears, afraid of being disappointed, afraid of disappointment." ”
The young man looked at Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan's eyes dimmed instantly, and he snorted: "Childe, I have been thinking about the mural that Meng Jia said just now, and if I think about it carefully, I have indeed seen it." The frescoes were life-size, there seemed to be more than a dozen, and I was so small that I could see his face by climbing vines and stepping on the waist of the man in the painting. ”
The young man looked at Wen Xuan, waiting for him to continue. Wen Xuan looked at the young man's handsome face, his face was sad,
"Childe, the face of the person in the painting is the same as you. ”
The boy shook his head with a confused expression.
"Childe, I always thought I could protect you, but, maybe, I ,...... Not even qualified to be your friend. ”
Hearing Wen Xuan's words, the young man seemed to have been stung by a poisonous scorpion, his pupils contracted suddenly, and his hands were clenched into fists. But in an instant, the young man relaxed, he let out a long breath, looked at Wen Xuan, and showed a smile.
Although it was just a smile, the smile on the side of the mouth was already clearly visible.
Wen Xuan has never seen the young man's smile head-on, at this time he was dazzled by this smile and his eyes were bright, this was the first smile specially given to him, Wen Xuan's heart was like thousands of rivers rushing, but he didn't want to affect the snake venom in his body, and he cried out in pain.
The young man lowered his eyelashes, smiled, and once again sent his spiritual power into Wen Xuan's Yin Hall.
After a long time, Wen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the young man's wrist, "Childe, I'm fine." ”
Wen Xuan's face was already a more obvious blue-black, even though the young man's spiritual power could temporarily suppress the poison and relieve the pain, but it could not clear the snake venom at all. The young man looked at Wen Xuan's face, cut Wen Xuan's vein, and said in his heart: "Within two hours, there will be no obstacles." ”
The boy silently lowered his head and closed his eyes gently.
The teenager suddenly noticed something different. The road he saw when he closed his eyes was completely different from the path he saw when he opened his eyes.
Wen Xuan also noticed the strangeness of the young man, and when he saw that he opened his eyes for a while and closed his eyes for a while, he asked, "Could it be that to solve this maze, you need to be blind?"
The boy was already convinced, and nodded.
Wen Xuan looked at the young man: "Childe, if I can survive, will you teach me to be blind?"
The teenager did not respond. came over and gently hugged Wen Xuan, closed his eyes and walked forward.
Wen Xuan was in the boy's arms, and he couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the boy stumbling on the wall for a while, stepping on the water for a while, and rushing straight to the huge stalactite.
But when the boy closed his eyes and actually walked over, there were no walls, no water, and no stalactites.
The boy kept his eyes closed until the end of the road, which was a stone room.
There is a stone table and four stone benches in the stone room.
On the table, there was a letter.
The young man and Wen Xuan glanced at each other again.
The young man put Wen Xuan on the stone bench against the wall, turned around and opened the letter, and found that it was written by Cui Longruo to Cui Yichen.
