Chapter 24: The Turtle Climbs the Wall

The four of them wandered through the jungle again, and the two children sniffed here and there for a while, and kept saying "this way, this way" in their mouths. Xiwen and Leng Zimo were led around the jungle by them, and after about half an hour, after they passed through a short hillside tunnel, an old Nordic-style mansion appeared in front of everyone.

This mansion stands in a clearing in the forest, with a pointed roof, a sloping roof, and a wood and stone structure as a whole, with a total of three floors, the roof is brown-red, and the exterior wall is painted with transparent beige, which looks extremely harmonious and natural under the sunlight.

Xiaobai looked at the house and said happily: "Here it is!"

"Here?" Leng Zimo asked.

"Hmm!" Xiaobai nodded affirmatively.

The two approached the mansion suspiciously, and the children followed them excitedly.

"Excuse me, ...... someone"

Xiwen's hand was still in mid-air, and the door in front of the four of them opened automatically with a "squeak". After waiting for a while, there was no one to see, so the four round heads were held by the door at the same time, and cautiously peeked inside, but when they looked in from the door, there was no one in it except for some more delicate wooden furniture, and they could not feel any breath of life.

"Anyone, please?" asked Shivin again.

After waiting for a while, still no one responded, Leng Zimo couldn't help but ask Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, are you sure it's here?"

"Well, Xiaobai can't be wrong, I'm looking for the same breath as you. Xiaobai pointed to his nose and said seriously.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Bai is the best at finding things! No matter where I hide, he will find me every time!" Xiao Hei also chimed in.

Looking at the two little kids who were extremely serious, Xiwen and Leng Zimo suddenly felt a little funny, but they still chose to believe them. After a brief discussion, they still decided to go into the house to investigate, and before entering the house, Xiwen casually asked Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai under him:

"I don't know if there will be danger inside, do you want to stay outside and wait for us?"

As a result, the two children shook their heads like rattles without thinking about it, and finally shouted in unison:

"Don't!"

Well, in fact, Xiwen's worries are also a bit superfluous, the battle he experienced not long ago is still vivid, with the amazing combat strength of the two of them, it is better to worry about the enemies he may encounter than the two of them.

As soon as you enter the room, there is a large living room, with a ceiling painted with various patterns and rich reliefs, and a delicate crystal chandelier in the center, and a set of tables carved with various intricate patterns under the chandelier. And on the wall facing the doorway there was a marble fireplace, very clean, and above the fireplace hung a huge portrait of half of a woman with a blank face but very delicate features, her hair and eyes were red, her ears were long and pointed, and her eyes were staring straight ahead on the surface, but wherever you went in the living room, you could feel the red-eyed gaze. In addition, there are some cabinets and soldier armor, and the whole arrangement is very magnificent.

Xiwen thought to himself that there could be such a chic house in the middle of this barren mountain, and there was no breath of life, but it was strange that all the furniture was spotless.

The four of them continued to walk inside, and through a pass on the left side of the hall, they found a long passageway, and at the end of the passage was a staircase, which was a little dim because there were no windows. The two children involuntarily grabbed Xiwen and Leng Zimo's trouser legs.

The corridor was less than ten meters long, and they walked very slowly, and Xiwen found that the only passage in the living room did not lead to the room behind the living room, could it be another entrance? He whispered to the other three, then gently groped his hands around the wall for a moment, then pressed his ear to the wall and listened, but found nothing.

Even though it didn't feel right, the four of them made their way up the stairs at the end of the hallway. The wooden staircase is carpeted with woolen wool, but it still makes a creaking sound when you step on it. It was a staircase straight up, and the top of the staircase was pitch black, as if leading to an infinite black hole.

Xiwen and Leng Zimo nodded, and both of them drew their weapons at the same time, and they walked up with the two children sandwiched between them. To their surprise, there was no danger at the top of the staircase, and what appeared in front of them was a corridor identical to that they had just walked, with no doorway to the room on either side, and a straight staircase at the end of the corridor.

This is strange, this house looks only two floors from the outside, could it be a staircase leading to the attic?

Carefully through the hallway, they once again ascended the staircase covered with a red woolen carpet to the third floor, but the same scene appeared, dim light, wooden floors, woolen carpet and staircase. It would be reasonable to say that the decoration style is the same on each floor, but it is a bit too much to say that there are stairs up to the third floor.

Xiwen felt more and more that something was wrong, and he hurriedly said to Leng Zimo: "We have to go back the same way!"

"Wait! I'll make a mark. ”

Leng Zimo took off his backpack, took out a yellow talisman in it and pasted it on the wall casually, and then said:

"This place is a bit wicked, I want to see what medicine is sold in his gourd, let's go." ”

Going downstairs along the original road, Leng Zimo, who took the lead, stopped at the staircase.

"What's wrong?" asked Shivan.

"We've encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and someone wants to trap us here!" Leng Zimo said solemnly.

Everyone walked quickly to the corridor, and the yellow talisman pasted by Leng Zimo just now became particularly conspicuous on the white wall. They walked down another layer without believing it, but the yellow fu still existed, and the faces of the two of them became more and more solemn, and even the two little children who had always been happy frowned. If it's a normal ghost hitting the wall, it's easy to do, it's nothing more than an illusion generated by a spirit with a certain amount of energy using its own thoughts to affect people's consciousness, this situation Leng Zimo can crack in minutes, but the current situation is obviously not a ghost to blame, because if an ordinary ghost hits the wall, the spell he just posted should work.

The four of them surrounded the yellow talisman pasted on the wall, and they all thought solemnly. Suddenly, Xiao Bai's milky voice sounded, and he asked with a serious face the doubts that had plagued him and Xiao Hei for a long time:

"Brother Zimo, what is a turtle climbing a wall?"

Xiao Hei's eyes, which had been keeping his head down, raised his head with little stars and gave Xiao Bai an approving look.

"Woo...... The turtle climbs the wall?oh~ You're talking about ghosts hitting the wall! To put it simply, there are forces that make you wander in the same scene repeatedly, just like setting up a wall for you to block all the exits you find, and finally the blocked person will die due to mental breakdown or energy exhaustion. ”

"Oh~It turns out that the turtle is so powerful~" Xiao Hei said with envy.

"It's not a turtle, it's a ghost, a ghost that all living things become when they die, that is, a soul. ”

"Oh~ means that when we die, we will become turtles?" asked Xiao Bai Zhen.

Can't wait to hear the answer, Xiao Hei asked:

"What if you break the turtle's wall?"

Break the wall, break the wall! Xiao Hei's words woke up Xiwen and Leng Zimo, since this is not a regular ghost hitting the wall, it means that the wall may not be illusory. In order to successfully answer their questions, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had already summoned their own small hammers and moved against the poor wall in front of them, and the two jumped and shouted at the same time:

"Turtle watch!"

Boom –

The long and narrow corridor was suddenly full of dust, coughing and coughing, and the dust dispersed after a few minutes, and the four of them looked at the wall with a grim face, surprisingly under the attack of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with such a huge energy, the wall was only shattered by the white paint on the surface and the white ash on the inside. As for the middle of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai smashed with a small hammer, there was only an eye-sized hole. The two children flattened their mouths and raised the hammer in their hands again, wanting to strike again, but Xiwen reached out to stop it.

"Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai stop first, the breath inside is not right!" Xiwen said cautiously.

He protected Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai behind him, and then crouched down and looked in from the small hole. As he expected, he saw a huge cocoon hanging from this mysterious room, and inside the cocoon was pregnant with an equally huge creature, which wriggled and rolled from time to time. Directly below the giant cocoon, there was a green magic array glowing green, as if nourishing the large cocoon on the top, and there were two humanoid objects wrapped in cocoons at the south and north ends of the magic array, Xiwen intuitively felt that this was the person they were looking for. Just as Xiwen was about to pull back, a red eyeball appeared on the opposite side of the hole, and it seemed to be looking at Xiwen behind the wall in great anger.

One is frightened, the other is to save people's hearts, because he saw the red eyes on the opposite side mending the hole with something, Xiwen hurriedly took a few steps back, but he quickly pulled out a long sword with purple flames from the ring - Destiny, he stabbed the sword into the small hole, and then charged a blow, slashed the sword to the upper right, and the smooth white wall was directly cut, Xiwen swung three swords in a row, and the originally impermeable thick wall collapsed half from top to bottom.

The bright sunshine ran all over every corner in an instant, making everyone squint for a while. Suddenly, a "buzzing" roar came from the room, and the four people who had just opened their eyes immediately covered their ears again. Before they could see the situation in front of them, a figure in a black cloak attacked with a staff taller than him.

"Ahhhh

Ignoring the discomfort of his ears, Xiwen jumped forward with the Mandate of Heaven.

After a few moves between the two, Xiwen forced his opponent to retreat again and again, and only then did everyone have time to see the things in this room clearly. In addition to what Xiwen saw, each of the four walls of the room had a magic circle painted on the same as the ground, and above the cocoon were four elven corpses, two of which were still dried corpses, and there were more than a dozen of them lying on the ground, and at the back of the room there was a large vat of red liquid, filled with the smell of blood.
