67, "Ghost Classic"
He dragged me through the vast ghost tomb.
My mind was full of questions. I've been wondering if I'm dead.
I don't know how long he was dragged away, but he suddenly stopped. Looking at me, who was still immersed in my own question, he turned behind me and kicked me hard.
I was almost kicked by this sudden kick.
"What are you doing?" I turned around and yelled.
"Hee-hee-hee~" the shadow laughed happily. Then the body slowly faded and disappeared again.
I watched it disappear with anger burning in my heart, but there was nowhere to vent.
"What is this place?" I said, looking at the shelves around me against the stone wall.
This time I was taken by him to a strange room.
The four walls of this room are shelves, and on the shelves are many simple slips. "Is it a place to store the witchcraft?" I looked at the slip on the shelf and muttered to myself. Mi Ye said that the way to unlock the curse of their sacrificial tomb clan may be in the witch book.
As soon as I thought of being able to unlock the curse on Miya's body, I instantly came to my senses. Started rummaging through the shelves.
After a while, I flipped through all the slips on the shelves. I sat on the ground dejected, and my heart was on fire.
"It's all some forehead text that I haven't seen before, show me something!" I yelled into the air.
But this time there was not even a response.
The shadow, who didn't know what it meant, brought me here and gave me a bunch of slips that I couldn't read. I reluctantly reached out and grabbed a very miniature scroll. Bored, I took it in my hand and played with it. The scroll is only ten centimeters long. It is not made of wood and bamboo, but has a hint of metal coolness and smoothness. What's even more strange is that I have been playing with it in my hand for a long time, studying it for a long time, but I just can't open it.
"Could this be the Witch Book, Xiao Ye said that they couldn't open the Witch Book at all." I said excitedly.
I had an idea in my heart, and I was even more eager in my hand.
I sat on the floor, trying to open what might have been a witchbook.
I don't know how much time has passed, and I've tried many things, but this scroll is still the same as when I first got it. I've tried smashing it or priing it open with a knife, but it has failed.
"Do you want to recite a mantra like Alibaba?" I said helplessly.
"Open the sesame door." I actually read it. But as I thought, it didn't open at all.
"Ah~" I wore out the last of my patience and shouted helplessly.
"Hee-hee-hee~" At that moment, the shadow that brought me here appeared at the top of a shelf, and he sat on the shelf, leaning back and laughing.
Seeing him like this, I really couldn't get angry. But I swallowed it alive. Because maybe only he knows how to open it.
I kept my head down and continued to pretend to try.
I don't know how many times I've failed. When I felt that I couldn't hold it anymore, the shadow reached out and took Jian Mu in one hand, pinched a finger in the other hand, and pronounced a few extremely obscure syllables at Jian Mu.
I stared at him intently as he took the slip from my hand, and my ears moved with my brain, jot down every syllable he uttered.
Just after the shadow finished reading, the slip in his hand slowly opened by itself.
I watched in amazement at this magical scene.
Just as he was about to reach out and grab the scroll, Shadow jumped away with the open scroll.
I couldn't strike a single blow, and I didn't dare to act rashly again. Stand still, waiting for the Shadow's next move.
The Shadows looked at me and didn't move. smiled and waved the slip in his hand.
I still didn't dare to relax, I didn't dare to make any moves. This stuff is so important to me.
The Shadow looked at me and smiled even more.
Although I have a feeling of being played like a monkey. But I held back.
The Shadow laughed for a moment, probably bored, and stopped.
He pinched another fingering in his hand and pronounced a syllable in his mouth. The slip in his hand closed again. Then he threw it to me and disappeared.
I caught it. In his mind, he remembered the fingering he had opened and the few syllables.
I pinched out the same fingering as he did, and said the syllables to Jane. But when I was teased by him, I remembered some syllables backwards, and I tried for a long time before my fingers were numb before I could pronounce them correctly.
The tightly closed slip opened with a bang.
I quickly put it on the ground, rubbing my numb fingers.
"Whew~" I exhaled a deep breath of turbidity. Pick up the slip on the ground.
"Great, it's finally not Bird Wen." I looked at those big seals that were not very familiar and said with a smile.
A hundred words are inscribed on the slips. I leaned against the shelf, scanting the words one by one. It took me a long time to analyze the gist of half of the text.
The name of this scroll is "The Ghost (Wei) Codex", which records the conditions for becoming a witch, and the person who has a black mole on the left arm, left ear, and back of the neck is the ghost clan, and all three are the owners of the ghost codex.
And the latter ones are some independent words that can't be connected at all, and I can't understand the meaning of them after studying them for a long time.
"This may be the witch book that Xiao Ye said, it seems that it will definitely be able to unlock the curse, but I don't understand a word now, what should I do?" I said to myself.
I continued to work hard to decipher the meaning of the words above, but there was no progress at all, except for the sentence that explained what it was, and the next eighty words, many of which I couldn't understand, and those who understood didn't understand the meaning.
"Forget it, put it away first, and go back to talk to Xiaoye." I hastily rolled up the slip and put it into my close-fitting pocket with the jade fish and the landscape ruler card that the green anaconda gave me.
I don't want to roll it up, it's too much trouble to open it once. Just let it run like this. Wait until I've slipped the syllables and then close them.
I stood up, patted my already numb legs, and began to look for a way out.
It is still a stone chamber with no exit, and with the experience of the last time, this time, I first took out a short knife and began to chisel the masonry on the ground.
Just then, the laughter of the shadows came again.
I quickly turned around and looked around to see where he was.
I saw the shadow easily pass through the shelf where the slip was placed, walked up to me, and kicked me while I was unprepared.
I couldn't suppress my anger for a moment, and I slashed with a short knife and backhanded.
At that moment, I was plunged into darkness in an instant. The feeling that I could rely on was completely gone, as if it had never been.
I was so upset. I was just too impulsive.
