Chapter 18: Heavenly Change
Beicheng, a long street as quiet as death, there are dim lanterns hanging under the eaves of the streets, and the lanterns sway gently in the windy and snowy night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The residents have long been asleep, and even the usually lively restaurants close early tonight, a long alley, with snow falling all over the sky, and the end of the market is pitch black. In the distance, there are several towering mountain peaks, looming in the goose feather snow.
In the wind and snow in the night, a thin figure walked slowly.
Ye Ran tightened his neck, let out hot air in his mouth, kept rubbing his hands, and walked through the streets covered with velvet snowflakes, making a creaking sound.
Not far behind him, a figure followed in the distance, neither near nor far away.
The unusual silence around gave Ye Ran a chilling feeling. It was as if he was walking not in a street market full of living people, but in a cemetery, lifeless, not even a stray wild dog.
The icy wind was howling, the snow was falling incessantly, and the air was so cold that it made people feel like falling into an ice cellar.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Ran stopped, and he looked up.
In the hazy snow, there is a long alleyway in front of you.
The path is formed by two stone statues on the left and right.
Ye Ran looked at the two stone statues sluggishly, his heart full of consternation. I saw that in the violent snowstorm, two wolf-shaped stone sculptures carved from snow-white stone stood solemnly between heaven and earth.
The stone statue was dozens of meters high, and Ye Ran stood under the stone statue, which was not enough for the height of one of the stone statue's toes.
This wolf-shaped sculpture is in the shape of roaring in the sky, and the snow-white hair on its body is carved vividly, if it wasn't for Ye Ran seeing it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there was such a miracle in the world.
"The patron saint of the Celestial Wolf Tribe!" At this time, someone behind reminded softly.
Ye Ran looked back with his mind, "Why haven't you left yet?" But it was Lin Yuerong who followed, standing in the fluttering snowflakes, she looked at Ye Ran with a smile.
Lin Yuerong glanced up at the two sculptures, and said lightly: "The wolf tribe originated from the ancient race, and according to legend, there was a two-headed snow wolf to protect the race. ”
Ye Ran thought about it according to what she said, and couldn't help but exclaim: "That kind of era should be very exciting!" Ye Ran's tone was a little envious and yearning, and his heart was even a little enthusiastic.
Lin Yuerong smiled and walked to Ye Ran's side, she looked careless with her hands behind her back, looked up at the three mountains not far away, and said softly: "Maybe, who knows!" ”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Ye Ran and asked, "Do you think, who is more beautiful, me or this white wolf made of stone statues?" ”
Ye Ran's face stiffened, and his heart said How can this be compared, you are not a kind of creature at all, there is no comparison.
So Ye Ran had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly: "You are more beautiful, wolves are always wolves, ferocious and easy to kill, greedy and insidious, you are much better than it!" ”
After hearing the first sentence, the girl suddenly showed joy, but then, her smile froze, hesitated, lowered her head, and said in a salty and nonchalant manner, "Yes! ”
"Come with me, and I'll take you to the palace." She said, her tone becoming cold and unfamiliar.
Walking under the huge sculpture, the lining of the people is incomparably small, the wind and snow buried the footprints behind them, and the two figures passed through the shadow of the giant beast statue and walked under a long mountain road.
The mountain path is carved out of the mountain wall and is integrated with the whole mountain, and the mountain path is flanked by high rocks.
The winding mountain road, with the rocks arching on both sides, forms a mountain road with interlaced dogs' teeth.
"Let's go!" Lin Yuerong stood on the mountain road, looked back at Ye Ran and said, in the snowy night, her eyes were cold and lonely, the wind blew her hair, the snow fell in front of her eyes, and her pretty face looked a little pale.
Ye Ran stepped out, stepped on the soft snow, looking at her appearance, Ye Ran couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
She shook her head, "I'm fine. Her voice was hoarse, and she turned and walked up the trail.
Ye Ran always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say that feeling, as if he was about to forget or lose something.
Along the way, Ye Ran kept looking down and thinking about the problem, how to get the genius earth treasure that improved the vitality of heaven and earth, or how to trigger the task.
Suddenly, a faint fishy smell wafted in, causing Ye Ran's pores to shrink.
He lifted his feet on the mountain steps, slipped and fell on the ladder, his hands slammed to the ground, pressed against a wet and greasy liquid.
The liquid was cold to the bone marrow, and Ye Ran, who had fallen down, smelled the fishy smell wafting from under his face, and his heartbeat continued to increase.
The atmosphere didn't dare to come out, Ye Ran endured the feeling of nausea, and looked forward with wide eyes.
Lin Yuerong stood on the steps a few steps away from him, and Ye Ran was lying on his stomach, staring at the long series of steps above.
The entire mountain path is thousands of meters long, and scarlet liquid flows, and the viscous liquid flows slowly down the steps.
Above this mountain path with countless black mountain stones arching, dark silver spears were nailed to the mountain wall.
There were countless many, and there was a corpse hanging from each spear.
The blood of those corpses had long since been drained, and their eyes were hollow, staring at something indiscriminately.
Ye Ran got up in a panic, shook off the blood on his hands, breathed a few times, and said tremblingly: "Blood, it's blood!" ”
Lin Yuerong turned her back to Ye Ran and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "What, I'm afraid, didn't you say that you were going to help your master?" Now, do you dare to go? ”
Ye Ran didn't know what to say, he felt that his mind was in chaos again, and he even felt that his head was heating up, his heart was beating fast, and he couldn't calm down at all, so he could only subconsciously make a judgment.
Master, by the way, the master also went to the palace.
The chubby figure came to mind, along with his kind smile.
Ye Ran lifted his trouser legs, strode towards the mountain, fell down several times, and got up again, he muttered with a bloody face, and his steps became faster and faster.
The girl watched him run up, looking dejected, and said softly: "Obviously scared to death, you still want to go, what are you for, that fat man just robbed you of a meal, is it worth it?" Even if you go, what can you change when you are so weak? ”
Ye Ran suddenly stopped again, turned to look at the girl pleadingly, "Help me, I can't save him, although he is greedy for life and afraid of death and is very cunning, but he is not a bad person, really." ”
Not a bad person, you know what's good and what's bad?
A sneer hooked the corner of Lin Yuerong's mouth, raised her head and said, "Are you begging me?" ”
Ye Ran was stunned, Lin Yuerong at this moment gave Ye Ran a familiar feeling, her attitude, as if she had seen it there, Ye Ran couldn't help but think of someone, Rena.
What the hell is going on?
Ye Ran shook his head fiercely, the weak aura on his face dissipated without a trace, he pursed his lips, bent down to pick up a spear in a pool of blood on the ground, and got up to set off again.
