Chapter 20: It turns out that you once loved me
Bidding farewell to the cute fireflies, the six of them walked deep into the forest for a while, and the second tunnel appeared in front of them.
"Do you want to go in?" said Wang, pointing to the tunnel, hesitating.
"Is there any other way? Lan Che patted Lao Wang and walked in first.
In the dark, the six people couldn't see each other, they could only vaguely feel that everyone was snuggling up to each other, and Theseus took the hedron and looked around, and suddenly, a white shadow passed in the corner?
"Ahh
"What's going on?!"
"That'...... Something seems to be there!" Jusno pointed to a little light in the corner.
"Oh?" Lan Che frowned, walking towards the corner with Xius, his nose starting to smell a foul smell.
The beam slowly approached, and he vaguely saw a few bones on the ground, and then, some broken bones, and a huge skull.
It was difficult for Lan Che to piece together these scattered parts in his mind to make a person's appearance.
Didn't look at it much, the six people continued to walk forward, the bones on the ground gradually increased, and from time to time there were some cold weapons buried, like the Burmese knife in ancient times, from the decoration to see the age, although it has been a thousand years, but it still looks extremely sharp, the blade emits a strong cold light under the red light, maybe it was also a treasure knife that sharpened iron like clay back then.
As they walked forward, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tangle. There are skeletons all over the ground, and most of them are in different places, as if they have been cut off by a martial arts master, and there are few complete skeletons.
The bones were covered with armor pieces, like chain mail in ancient India, and the tumbling skulls were covered with melon-shaped or pot-shaped helmets, and the armor pieces were scattered all over the ground, which at first glance looked like copper coins scattered on the ground.
There are more and more weapons of all kinds, in addition to the common swords, bows and arrows, there are also some strange snake daggers?
The dagger was not big, I don't know if it was a long time or it had been like this before, it was pitch black, cold all over, and exuded an indescribable palpitation.
Some daggers were stuck in their entirety into Damascus's scimitars, others pierced through the incomparably hard Five Meteor Hammers, and others split steel spears from them, as if they were the kings of the place.
The weapon had been rusted over time, and the blade was covered with chips, but the dagger was still intact. At the same time, there is no doubt that a whole well-equipped army is buried here!
"Xius, did you do this?" Lan Che just turned his head to look at Xius, only to find him squatting on the ground, staring at a serpentine dagger embedded in his stomach armor, his body trembling and making intermittent stuttering sounds.
What happened to him?
Lao Wang just wanted to step forward, Lan Che frowned and raised his hand to stop him, he knew that Xius needed some time.
The five of them stood in the dark corridor full of bones, waiting quietly, closing their eyes, it seemed that they could feel the battle thousands of years ago, in such a narrow corridor, it was hard to believe, how cruel it was!
Lan Che stroked the stone wall, which was covered with sword slash marks, and it was hard to imagine the brutality of the battle at that time. As far as the eye can see, there are at least hundreds of bones along the way, and this road has become a closed meat grinder, where the smell of decay has accumulated for hundreds of years, perhaps it is the cry of those dead souls.
"There are as many bones as there are mother's tears. Lan Che sighed and picked up the two pairs of chain mail on the ground, they were made of iron rings, which looked like supple sweaters at a glance, and you knew its weight just by holding it in your hand, let alone wearing it on your body.
A hole was exposed in the chest of the armor, and many iron rings fell off because of this, Lan Che searched for a moment, and only the strange snake-shaped dagger just matched, the iron armor of a thousand years ago was grasped in his hand, he seemed to feel the weight of the soul, fluttering, and unwilling to leave......
Suddenly, a gloomy and cold aura filled the entire Yongdao, Lan Che was shocked, and immediately threw away the chain mail in his hand, and looked back, those bloody corpses had already caught up?!
But there's darkness behind it, and that's going to be-
He immediately locked his eyes on Hughes, and sure enough, he saw Hughes standing
Suddenly, it was as if a person had changed, and the surface of the entire skeleton was surrounded by a layer of faint black gas, like a condensed small universe, the black hole had been devoured for thousands of years, and it was about to explode at this moment!
He clutched the strange serpentine dagger tightly in his hand, and his gaze was extremely cold.
"Xius, what's going on, calm down! If you go on like this, the road will collapse!" Lan Che hurriedly stepped forward.
Xiusi turned his head violently and glared at Lan Che, his eyes were facing each other, and he was full of killing intent! Lan Che subconsciously stopped, and the five people behind him were also shocked, a little at a loss.
Why did Xiusi, who was fine a moment ago, suddenly change his face?
They are scared and dare not come out.
Lan Che glanced at the bones at Xiusi's feet, and then held back the dagger in his hand, as if he had guessed something, and asked cautiously: "Xiusi, this dagger...... Is it hers?"
"Smack!"
As soon as the words fell, Hughes's eyes seemed to erupt with fire, and with a clenched hand, the dagger in his hand cracked like sawdust, and the dust was scattered all over the ground, like blood splashed thousands of years ago, and a graceful girl once danced alone here, her eyes full of tears of longing.
Lan Che stared at Xiusi, and could feel the struggling soul howling in pain, until he slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth closed slightly: "This is the ...... I gave her with my own hands"
Although he was prepared in his heart, when Xiusi said it word by word, Lan Che was still a little surprised, and his thoughts rushed into his mind like a tsunami, and he was caught off guard and slapped him to the ground, and he couldn't help but feel a little messy.
According to General Hutou's words, Xiusi's woman should have betrayed him and joined the Gu Soul Palace, she should be a member of the Gu Soul Palace, but why did she fight here? Could it be that she betrayed again? Or was the Gu Soul Hall attacked, this is the remains of those invaders? Before the truth is found, everything is possible.
Lan Che pondered for a moment, gathered countless thoughts into one sentence, he stepped forward, as if forgetting that there was a volcano in front of him that was about to erupt for a thousand years, he looked at Xius, and said seriously: "Xiusi, I don't know what happened between you three thousand years ago, and I don't know why Leona fought here, but when everything is just speculation, don't make any decisions, if you believe Lan Che, I am willing to accompany you to find the truth, and I will definitely be able to do it." But if you can't control yourself now and speculate about the ending, then you have been in vain for the past 3,000 years, and it is better not to have seen you at the beginning. ”
This ——!
Lan Che's words were like the flames of a lit bomb, Xiusi's anger gushed out, the faint layer of black gas on his body "poofed" and scorched like a flame, the air around him became cold, the walls began to shake slightly, and his neck seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand.
But when the hearts of the four people were raised to the highest point, they heard a cold snort in their ears, and immediately felt that the arrogance on his body began to slowly subside, and gradually revealed the white bones again, Xiusi lowered his head and picked up a dagger again, and slowly walked towards the outside of the corridor, passing by, a faint word floated in his ears: "Trouble." ”
Lan Che smiled, turned around sharply, pointed at the back of Xius and shouted, "Then you don't need to talk about it!!"
After roaring, he ran over, put his arms around Xius's neck, and muttered as he walked: "Xius, your daughter-in-law is really amazing......!
"Huh?"
"And besides, what was that black thing on you just now?"
Seeing the two of them walking farther and farther away with the appearance of good brothers, the four of them were stunned and didn't react for a long time.
Lao Wang patted his chest with palpitations: "Whew~ I'm scared to death, I thought this skeleton was going to kill us here!"
"But...... When did they get so good? Mazi touched her nose with a look of surprise.
"Alright, let's catch up. After speaking, Flying Duck pulled Zhu Si and walked forward.
Lan Che told Xiu Si some of his own guesses along the way, although they were all hypotheses, but each one sounded reasonable, Xiu Si couldn't help but be a little impressed by Lan Che, but when he looked at Lan Che's strength carefully, he was even more surprised, he was just an ordinary person?
An ordinary person who is no longer ordinary, without any spiritual power in his body, in this otherworldly continent, it is difficult to survive without strength, could it be that he has always relied on that brain? Xiusi couldn't help but have a faint curiosity.
However, he still heard some of Lan Che's words, such as "Lao Tie", "Lao Tzu", "Awesome" and so on......
Could it be that I have slept for too long, and the generation gap is already so huge?
Hehe, one of you two is an antique from three thousand years ago, and the other is a product of the space era, and it is already very strange to be able to talk to each other.
Xius didn't say much to Lan Che, he was like a quiet listener, preferring to bury all his secrets in his heart.
Fortunately, the road was not as long as before, and after a while, I crossed it, and saw the moon again, and with it, several huge collapsed Buddha statues, still standing with mysterious smiles. In the cracks of the crumbling stones, a few stout banyan trees grew tenaciously, their brown roots stretching out wantonly.
"Where is this?" said Wang, looking around in confusion.
"It should be on the west side of the palace. Lan Che pointed to the pyramid in the distance and said casually.
I didn't take a few steps forward, but I saw another palace!
A relief of the goddess of the Flying Heavens is built on the tall tower gate, and through the tower gate is the magnificent attic of the royal palace, which has decayed over the centuries, leaving only the foundation and the remnants of the walls. The red palace walls are mottled and covered with cyan moss, and there are seven cobra protectors lined up in front of the palace gate.
Xius stared at the relief of the flying goddess and couldn't help but tremble, stunned in place like an electric shock, this subtle movement was quietly captured by Lan Che, he waited for a while, and gently patted his hand on the skeleton's shoulder: "Let's go..."
Walking among the ruins, the blood-colored moonlight swept over the huge banyan canopy, shining on the lips scatteredly, as if a gluttonous feast had just been completed.
On the cold night, the moon was hidden again, the cool breeze struck, all the broken reliefs and Buddha statues were hidden behind the shadows, and even the stone walls of the Great Palace gradually blurred, sticking together with the night and unable to distinguish.
Lao Wang's eyelids were as heavy as sandbags, he took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath, stretching his short body vigorously under the purple sky before dawn, and every bone creaked.
After a while, the third stone gate appeared in front of me.
The three dwarves pushed hard for a long time but found that they did not move, and Lan Che and Xiusi also came to help, but no matter how hard the five people tried, the gate still did not move at all.
"Strange, what's going on?"
Lao Wang knocked on the stone door for a while, and crawled his ears to listen for a while, as if praying for the soul inside to open this door to the outside world for him.
Lan Che saw that Xiusi was about to start working again, so he hurriedly stopped: "This is outside, the movement is too big and you are asking for trouble!"
Then he took the hedron in Hughus's hand and looked around carefully, and suddenly, he found that there was a shrine of more than ten centimeters embedded in the wall on the right side of the stone door, and there was a dagger-like recess on it, as if a small dagger had been dug out.
This shrine is so hidden that if you don't look closely, you won't be able to detect it.
Xiu Si also shifted his gaze here with the light, he couldn't help but squat down, he always felt that this shape was familiar, lowered his head and thought for a moment, the black pupils suddenly contracted, and at the same time, Lan Che felt a dagger on his body!
That's it!
The murder weapon that killed Hughes - the hideous-looking banshee dagger! Although it has been hundreds of years, it exudes breathtaking power all over its body!
"Give it to me. Theseus trembled and stretched out his hand to meet the dagger that had accompanied him for thousands of years, perhaps, had already become a part of him.
But the moment Lan Che put it in his hand, the statue of the banshee at the handle of the dagger suddenly opened its eyes and shot out two terrifying gazes.
Lan Che trembled and got goosebumps all over his body.
Without much thought, Hughes raised the dagger, aimed it at the shrine next to the stone door, and carefully slipped it in.
Like a complete mold and mold, the banshee dagger was fitted in the slightest, and both the sharp edge and the jagged statue fit the edge of the recess, as if it had been dug out of this wall.
Then, Theseus took a deep breath, as if waiting for something to come, and gently turned the dagger with his fingertips.
Sure enough, the shrine also turned, like a key stuffed into a keyhole - a dagger
This hideous dagger turned out to be the key to open the door to the world!!
"Plop!" Theseus fell to his knees.
Three thousand years ago,
You've perfectly avoided my point,
Just because it can take me out of here,
Looking at the backs of your departure,
I got up again and again,
Fulfilling the vows of love,
In a fit of rage, you stabbed it into my skull.
Originally
You loved me......
When everyone felt a burst of surprise and seemed to smell a glimmer of life, only Lan Che heard a heart crying.
There was a strange turning under his feet.
Before they could react, the earth shattered, and a huge trap, gravity pulled them down like a pair of powerful hands.
In a quarter of a second, everyone fell into the abyss......
