Chapter 19: A Beautiful Night
When Lao Wang opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that Xiusi was walking towards the sea of corpses with a bone blade, but then, when he saw the scene of the white bones slaughtering in the middle of the mountain, his heart seemed to jump out of the clouds, he timidly got up, secretly twisted under the city wall, and with the red nose and pockmarked face, it instantly turned into three stones......
The giant beast on the top of the palace spewed out two white gases, looked at the middle of the mountain gloomily, and said coldly: "Xiusi is really still Xiusi, three thousand years ago, if it wasn't for the hall master's action, I would definitely be a prisoner under your sword." Hmph, but now, you may not be my opponent!"
And the Xius on the top of the mountain didn't seem to pay attention to the giant beast talking, still staring at the moon with a melancholy face, and after a few seconds, he turned his head in a coping way, and spat absentmindedly: "Oh......"
The giant beast was completely annoyed by this disdainful attitude, it puffed out its chest, raised its head to the sky and howled, the rapid sound had a huge penetrating power, and the eardrums of the people were shaken, even if they covered their ears, they felt the blood in their bodies tremble, and a great palpitation arose.
Xius turned his head and looked at the giant beast in the palace, his expression suddenly became serious, he rushed down, and waved at Lan Che from afar: "Quick! take your companion and enter the palace!"
At this time, there was no time to choose and think, Lan Che turned around and saw that the red nose and pockmarked face with Lao Wang had begun to run up, and he rushed to the gate with a fierce son, without saying a word, he grabbed Zhu Sikang on his back, pulled his legs and ran, and the flying duck followed!
"What's wrong!" Lan Che asked in a panic as he kicked up the stone steps.
"Huh..."Xiu Si raised his chin, Lan Che looked in the direction, only to see that on the mountain of blood, the fragmented stumps were strangely combined!
And the body is more powerful, some have four hands, and some even have three heads.
Lan Che felt a burst of disgust after just a glance, and he cursed in his heart, what kind of race is this underworld, so disgusting!
Rushing into the palace in one breath, Xiusi stopped, Lan Che felt a sigh in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to ask what was going on, only to hear a voice: "Soul - slash!"
"Knock ——!!!"
A huge roar, accompanied by a surging heat wave, rushed in the face! A powerful blast blast blasted the four huge keels, and countless falling rocks and broken trees sealed the only entrance in an instant.
Except for Xius, the other five people curled up on the ground in unison, the heat wave brushing over their heads, the stone walls and the stone slabs under them all trembled violently, and everyone's heart was almost shattered.
"This can be blocked for a while, let's go!" said Hughes, and rushed to the second door.
Opening the mysterious door again, the seven of them had no intention of admiring the exquisite murals again, and they quickly entered a dark corridor.
Maybe it's because Xiusi's power is a little great, or maybe it's because the building has been too long, and the shaking sound in his ears hasn't completely stopped, and there are constantly air currents rushing behind him, but everyone knows in their hearts that it was Xiusi who saved them, as long as they keep walking along this road, they will leave this terrifying Gu Soul Palace.
In this way, I don't know how long I walked, there were no more traces of artificial excavation under my feet, and my vision began to become dim, and further inside, it was pitch black.
Lan Che half-squatted down and put Zhu Si down, rubbing his sour shoulders, Zhu Si blushed as always: "Thank you......"
"It's fine. ”
After speaking, Lan Che took out a spar from his chest, paused, and then turned his head to look at Lao Wang: "This ...... How do you make this thing bright?"
Lao Wang was not surprised, he gasped and explained: "Each flint has an exclusive spell enchanted by the charmer, as long as he says the spell, he will shine. ”
"Oh......? What is the spell of this hedromer?" Lan Che then asked.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lao Wang like a little woman, twisting and bowing his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
"No, Lao Wang, what are you doing, ask a spell, what are you twisting!" Lan Che looked at him depressedly.
Lao Wang looked up at the dark Yongdao, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, hooked Lan Che's neck and put it to his mouth, and his voice was so small that he couldn't even hear it.
"That's it?" Lan Che frowned and looked at Lao Wang with a relieved look, shook his head speechlessly, and then picked up the spar and put it to his mouth: "Ah! smart and lovely Wang Lisai! You are the hardest man!"
"Poof—" The first one didn't hold back.
"Poof—" The second one didn't hold back.
The third, the fourth, even Xius smiled faintly.
Lao Wang blushed, looking like he wanted to fight Lan Che to the death, but Lan Che stared at the spar in his hand curiously, ignoring him.
The beautiful spar glows red like electricity, and this light looks very soft, and there is no hot reaction in modern physics when held in the hand.
"Let's go. Hughes said.
Lan Che nodded, and under the red light, the six of them continued to walk towards the depths of the road, but in less than five minutes, the surrounding environment had changed drastically!
There are thousands of stalactites hanging upside down everywhere, under the refraction of light, colorful and shining, like a unique karst cave wonder in the south.
"Where there is a cave, there must be an exit!" Lan Che was a little excited, and Xiusi glanced at him in surprise and nodded approvingly.
Most of the caves are labyrinth-like, but this one is unique, just one direction out of the stone gate, and there are no forks in the road, so just follow this path.
After walking for a while, I heard the sound of gurgling water.
Lan Che shone under his feet, it was actually an underground dark river, flowing rapidly in the cave, the river water was quite clear, and the bottom of the river could be seen, like a miniature version of the karst landform.
Seeing the flowing water, Zhu Si breathed a long sigh of relief, where there is living water, there must be an outlet, this is common sense, and she couldn't help but look at Lan Che more.
The six of them cautiously continued downstream along the river, flanked by stalactites and a few strange small fish popping up from time to time in the dark river.
Xiusi suddenly frowned: "Once, I made a big fuss in the Gu Soul Palace, and I have been to every place here, but why does it always feel different here?"
Lan Che thought for a moment and replied, "En...... This palace seems simple, but the internal structure is extremely complex, you may not be able to guarantee that you will walk through every dark passage, or maybe after so many years, they have opened up a new secret passage, and that's it. ”
Hughes frowned and remained silent.
Under the accompaniment of flowing water, the six of them quickened their pace, as if they felt that life was calling, and no one thought about how long they had walked, because at this moment, time had long lost its meaning here.
But the cave looked extremely long, walking for a full hour, and after the previous battle and a day without eating, Lao Wang felt tired and hungry, and his strength was almost exhausted.
After a few struggles, he took out the cooked meat of the cumin sheep hidden in his pocket and looked at everyone: "Everyone has a point, let's pad it first." ”
Except for Hughes, who didn't eat, everyone else had some cushions.
I have recovered a lot of physical strength, and I am walking much faster than before, and after a while, I see a faint light in front of me?
The light was like the only candle in a dark room, and even the most tired person would be full of strength when he saw it.
Lan Che took the hedron and ran up quickly, only to find that it was a gap, the size of a basin, and there was a small opening at his feet, and the dark river flowed out from here, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and even smelled the smell of the forest outside the stone wall!
The other five people also walked one after another, crossing the dark river at their feet, only to feel a breeze in front of them.
But at a fixed glance, this opening was very small, almost only able to accommodate a person's arm, Lan Che stretched out his hand, his arm was cut by the crack and hurt sharply, but he touched the free air.
Outside, under the stars, the cold moonlight is in your hands, and the evening breeze brings the mysterious fragrance of flowers.
It's a pity...... Still can't get out!
He withdrew his hand in frustration, and at most he could only reach the position of his shoulder.
Zhu Si immediately stretched out her hand through the crack, her arm was much thinner, not cut painfully, like a fetus, the body was still in the mother's body, but the hand had been born first.
The jade hand waved up and down outside, like a classical Balinese dance, and made a peacock nodding gesture between its fingers.
The night wind entwined five fingers, separated by a wall, between earth and hell.
"Alright, it's my turn!" Wang rubbed his hands.
Lan Che glared at him: "Smart and lovely Mr. Wang, please respect yourself." ”
After saying that, he tapped the stone wall with his knuckles, and it felt very thin, covered with tiny cracks, which had long since weathered over the years, otherwise it would not have cracked.
As if having made some decision, although he was still hungry and thirsty, and his physical strength was almost exhausted, he still took a deep breath and concentrated the strength of his whole body on his shoulders - the door-smashing technique he had practiced during military training two years ago finally had a chance to pick it up.
The nightmare is coming to an end.
A new nightmare is about to begin.
After Lan Che's careful analysis, he found an optimal stress point, retreated, started, and run! At the moment when he was about to collide, he felt a white light flash in his afterglow—
The cracks cracked instantly, and the ancient walls crumbled, accompanied by a deafening loud thud, and stone chips and mud flew all over the sky.
Lan Che rushed straight out, still maintaining the posture of shoulder bump, until his feet slipped, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the banyan tree in the dark night through the gray mist that gradually dissipated, and a curtain of faint moonlight.
It turns out that this is how the soul escapes from hell.
"It hurts~it hurts~ it hurts!"
The flying duck was covered in stone chips, and when she saw Lan Che squeaking in the distance, she didn't have time to breathe in the fresh air under the moon, so she hurried over to help him up.
In the moonlight, they all turned into "gray men".
Juss shook her head vigorously, until she saw the moon overhead, and realized that they had escaped.
She breathed in contentedness, the scent of plants wafting around her, like she was on a stage without lights.
Six unfamiliar dancers, what kind of script will they stage?
What smashed was a stone cloister, which seemed to be somewhat embossed on the surface, but had long since weathered and disintegrated, behind it was a dense dark shadow of trees, a huge pyramid, hidden behind the shadows and difficult to distinguish, like an iceberg in a dark sea, with fallen leaves and wild grass under its feet, and on the other side was also a tall grove, with some dilapidated buildings extending at both ends.
"Obviously...... We're still in the Gu Soul Palace. Xiusi's faint words made the hearts of the five people fall into the ice cellar in an instant.
They looked at each other in disbelief and forced to admit it, with complicated faces on their faces.
"Let's go. Theseus walked over to Lan Che, took the hedron in his hand, and walked in front.
The jungle in the dark night is extremely dangerous, I don't know what terrible monsters lurk, this is not a dead and silent world, insects are singing one after another in the grass, sometimes a statue appears at the feet, giving them a mysterious smile, but I don't know that the statue's eyes are turned around, and oozing a ghostly green light.
The moon was obscured by the huge canopy of trees, and by the moonlight, they could only faintly see a few meters away, and they tried to get as close as possible, although they didn't know whether the soles of their feet were stepping on the fallen leaves of adulthood, or the bones that had rotted into dirt, but for some reason, they seemed to have a reassurance in their hearts, that is, the skeleton that walked in the front, the mysterious descendant of the ghost clan - Xius.
He is like the most trusted weapon of all, capable of slaying all terrible demons, of course, if they want to.
But then again, Lan Che kept muttering in his heart, isn't the person Zhu Si is looking for right in front of him? But no matter how you look at it, you don't think this girl has any intention of going up to speak, is it possible that she is doubting his identity?
It shouldn't be, so many people know him, hey, a woman's mind, it's really weird.
Lan Che was thinking about it, when suddenly, a few bits of light lit up in front of him, and light green points of light floated in the air, like a night elf blinking.
"Ghost fire again?" Lan Che blurted out that he was not afraid of this ancient place.
Zhu Si behind him walked forward slowly, until those "ghost fires" floated to him, which was a very tiny point of light, like dust flying up, he subconsciously grabbed a handful, and felt that he actually grabbed the "ghost fire" in his hand.
It is like a miniature heart, breathing in the dark night air and pulsating, making the whole hand tremble slightly.
There were more and more points of light around him, like the eyes of countless ghosts, and Lao Wang opened his mouth wide: "That...... What is it?"
Spread out the palm of your hand, only to see that on the dark palm, there was a firefly?
The little one is only the size of Mira, and the faint fluorescence behind the wings just illuminates the love thread in the palm print.
It crawls lightly across the line of love, but the code of happiness is difficult to decipher. In fact, those "ghost fires" are all fireflies, and the cute insects that are common in summer nights, like moths to a fire, surround the six people.
When I looked down at my palm, the fireflies were gone.
"It's so cute!" said Juss softly.
Between the ancient ruins and Buddha statues, the moon and the night breeze appeared and disappeared from time to time, and they gradually felt a trace of warmth, filling their bodies from their veins.
Like mischievous elves, the two girls let the fireflies fly around and pass in front of their slender eyelashes, and the light brings a cool breeze to melt into the night.
The night became beautiful.
