Chapter Seventy-Nine: Passing by (4,000 words)
The words of the two snake heads made Jiang Xingruo curious.
What do they say not mortal? Could it be that Brother Jiang Yan is not a mortal? What does that mean?
She certainly knew what it meant to be "not mortal", but she couldn't associate those four words with someone close to her.
Either way, at this moment she wanted to get up at once, call out the name, and then see him break into the claustrophobic dark room and end this terrible journey.
Oh my God, that would be wonderful, she thought, and the darkness in front of her had subsided a lot, and the light was shining into the deepest part of her heart.
She heard footsteps approaching, then stopped, followed by the "creaking" of something being opened.
Jiang Xingruo followed the sound, turned her head, and looked at the picture frame on the wall, where the voice came from.
"Brother Jiang Yan," she couldn't help but think, her eyes fixed on the frame. It seemed that the next moment, the frame would be removed, revealing Jiang Yan's anxious face, "He came to save me." ”
At this moment, the two snakeheads also shut up, as if they were waiting for the verdict of the unknown fate.
Jiang Yan threw his clothes on the ground, and the wardrobe was now empty, and it was impossible to hide the child.
This is already the last place where people can hide.
"No," Jiang Yan stood in front of the closet and said to himself anxiously, "Xingruo, where are you?" ”
Before coming here, he was ready to meet all challenges, as long as he could rescue Jiang Xingruo, no matter how tragic the result was, he was willing to accept it.
However, it turned out to be like this, and there was no one to be seen.
As if a punch hit the air, a huge sense of emptiness hit, and he felt that the whole person was constantly sinking, and he sank into the abyss in an instant.
"What is this?" Lin Mengdie said, leaning over and picking up an envelope.
This envelope fell out of the pocket of a jacket when Jiang Yan threw his clothes on the ground.
"Who knows," Jiang Yan replied absentmindedly, he was thinking about the little girl at the moment, "You say, what is going on with all this?" ”
"Maybe there's the answer in this letter," Lin Mengdie said, opening the envelope and reading it, "Well, it reveals who the owner of this house is." ”
"Who is it?"
Jiang Yan asked, he had realized at this time that this letter was really of great significance.
"It's commonplace," Ms. Lin said, as she had read the letter, "and this is a ticket." ”
"Admission ticket?" Jiang Yan muttered and asked, "What field are you into?" ”
"It should be a secret realm," Lin Mengdie handed him the letter, "What is it called the Seven Mountains Conference." ”
She felt a little puzzled at this time, because the admission ticket said that this time the Seven Mountains Conference, it was likely that there would be peerless Dao introductions, such as the Spirit of the Void, the Ancient Desolate Divine Source, or the birth of Tianyi Holy Water.
It made her feel incredible, even a little funny.
A secret realm on a low-level civilization, she thought, how could there be that kind of peerless Dao introduction? This is mostly a howl, in order to attract more people in.
Jiang Yan looked at the admission ticket, which read:
Another eighteen years have passed, the grand scene of the last Seven Mountains Conference is still in front of us, in this Zhu Ming season, the seven mountains and mountain gods have joined hands to open up a secret realm, and sincerely invite the gods and ghosts from all walks of life in the world to come.
Below is a large font with the red word "burst", followed by the words:
Madden! This time, we detected that a peerless Dao was about to be born! Don't miss out on the gods and ghosts! If you get the peerless Dao guide, you will be able to laugh and be proud of the pinnacle of cultivation!
Although the little girl's life and death were uncertain, Jiang Yan was very anxious, but when he saw such an admission ticket to the cultivator's world, he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment with such a modern marketing tone.
Below is the huge word "discount", which reads:
Buy your ticket now and enjoy a 4% discount! You can also top up your membership card and enjoy even more triple benefits! What are you waiting for? Don't miss this opportunity, the peerless guide is waiting for you!
The following inscription is "Joint Greetings of the Seven Mountains and Mountain Gods".
When Jiang Yan saw this, he vaguely felt that the so-called cultivation path was probably far from what he imagined.
"Fuck the Seven Mountains Conference," he returned the ticket to Lin Mengdie, and said with a wry smile, "I just want to know where Jiang Xingruo is,"
"That's true," Lin Mengdie put away the admission ticket, "Let's look for it again." ”
In fact, she was also anxious, worried about the fate of the little girl.
"There's another room next door, let's go check it out." She said.
"That room is empty," Jiang Yan said, very anxious and irritable, "it is impossible to hide people!" ”
This is a fact, it can't be refuted, Lin Mengdie didn't say anything more, she fell into deep thought at this time.
She wondered, why would she have an empty room in her home?
The room was empty and dark, like some kind of ritual.
Some kind of ritual? The thought was only a fleeting thought, but it brought her a glimmer of inspiration, reminding her of some old rumors.
She had heard from her father's generation that it was said that when Chunlanxing was still a low-level civilization, monks could only gather in a specific place to meet, which was an alien dimension, and its entrance was often located in the cultivator's home.
This house, she thought, was of course a cultivator's home, and the thunder light and sword light were proof of this.
A cultivator's home was furnished with a strange room, which was hard not to arouse her suspicions.
Lin Mengdie felt that she was getting closer to the truth of the matter, and she told Jiang Yan this idea.
"Let's go and look at the empty room," she said, "and maybe find something." ”
Jiang Yan listened to her words, and he was very moved, he was like a drowning man at this time, even if he was given a straw, he would hold on to it firmly.
So he walked to another room.
All this was understood by Jiang Xingruo in the dark grid.
At first, she still had that fervent prayer.
Then, she heard a rush of rummaging.
"Take down that frame," she thought, "Brother Jiang Yan." ”
However, the frame remained motionless, as if it were permanently nailed to the wall.
"He's rummaging," she heard the soft-voiced snake head speak, her tone swept away the heaviness of her previous moment, and she was very relieved, "He didn't know the existence of the dark grid!" ”
This time, it was the low-voiced head of the snake that remained silent.
Jiang Xingruo was puzzled at first, not knowing what they meant by the dark grid, and then, she vaguely had a bad feeling.
However, the hope in her heart was too great, and it overwhelmed this bad feeling, after all, Jiang Yan was outside, only separated from her by a frame.
Then, she heard Jiang Yan say no, and heard him call her name again and ask where she was.
I'm right here! Brother Jiang Yan!
Jiang Xingruo shouted in her heart, and then, she tried to raise her head, and a slight "uh-uh" sound came out of her throat.
She wanted to shout! Just like she thought in her heart, she told Jiang Yan loudly that she was here.
However, all this was in vain after all, she had spent too much strength before, and even if she tried her best at the moment, she could only make her throat tremble pitifully a few times.
It's really pitiful, this little girl was staying in the dark, waiting for the verdict of the unknown fate, everything was enough to make her desperate.
Jiang Yan's appearance was a fleeting light, streaking across her sky at the moment, illuminating her for a moment, and when great hope was born in her heart, the darkness enveloped her again.
The little girl tried to shout twice, but she couldn't make a sound, and the low-voiced head of the snake said, "Don't bother, people outside can't hear the sound here." ”
This really made Jiang Xingruo feel strange, could it be that the sound insulation in this room was so good? But why could she hear the voices outside?
She heard the conversation between Lin Mengdie and Jiang Yan, and then the footsteps that gradually faded away.
Oh, Brother Jiang Yan, she said in her heart, don't go, Xingruo is so scared.
Then, hot tears filled her eyes, and her bones slid down.
"All right," said the soft-voiced snakehead, "everything you expected has not happened, it seems that God has mercy on me, thank you, God." ”
His voice was smug and cruel, and there was no doubt that the unknown fate was on his side.
Jiang Yan entered the empty room.
The first time he came in, he hadn't looked closely, but this time, he could see clearly that it was really an extremely empty room.
There was nothing, the walls were naked, the floors were spotless and barren, in short, the room was uncomfortably empty.
Lin Mengdie closed her eyes and felt it carefully for a moment.
"I feel the breath of the big hand of space," she said, her tone of hatred, "this is an entrance into another dimension." ”
What is Xenodimensional Space? Why is this the entrance? Does the entrance have to be spotless?
Jiang Yan really had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't have time to take care of them.
"You mean," he only cared about Jiang Xingruo now, "that monk entered another dimension?" Even took Jiang Xingruo with him? ”
Lin Mengdie nodded.
"How do you get into another dimension?" Jiang Yan said, "We'll chase after it now." ”
His tone was resolute, and if someone had told him that the little girl was on the moon, he would probably have set out to land on the moon at once.
Although there are still many doubts about this matter, such as, where did He Dao go? Why did the monk take Jiang Xingruo to another dimension?
These questions are all very important, but Jiang Yan really didn't stop and thought about it quietly.
How to enter the alien space, there is more than one way, Lin Mengdie has also heard what his father and ancestors have said, and he firmly remembers it.
Although this is not Chunlan Star, low-level civilizations all have common characteristics, the level of energy and the amount of spiritual power determine the behavior of monks.
She began to try, let Jiang Yan be a guinea pig, first let him dance in the room, this is a strange dance, Jiang Yan felt that he jumped like a big goose.
Then, she asked Jiang Yan to stand upside down in the room and crawl around with her hands.
"Imagine the image of another dimension," Lin Mengdie said, "and its image is a giant octopus, but it has thousands of tentacles, and you ask him to reach out and grab you." ”
Jiang Yan felt that this was simply nonsense, how could the space be like an octopus? However, thinking of Jiang Xingruo, he endured it.
This method also failed as a matter of course, Jiang Yan didn't see the octopus, he only felt like a fool.
"The third method," Lin Mengdie said, she wanted to laugh at this time, because of Jiang Yan's ridiculous dancing posture and upside-down walking posture. She is indeed very anxious, but people are like this, and they can't help but have fun in the bitterness, "Go to the corner." ”
Oh my God, Jiang Yan shouted in his heart, what kind of bullshit method is this? Just listening to it, I feel stupid.
Indeed, he walked in a straight line along the wall like a robot like a child, turning around the corner.
"Concentrate," Lin Mengdie snorted softly, "imagine the octopus." ”
"Octopus, Octopus, Octopus......"
Jiang Yan thought secretly, and the image of the octopus appeared in his mind.
At the same time, he was a little annoyed in his heart, all this was too outrageous, and he even felt that Lin Mengdie was making fun of him.
He went back to the original corner, and nothing happened. Jiang Xingruo's worry made the anger in his heart surge into an ocean, and he exploded.
He said loudly: "Lin Mengdie, you liar......"
He also wanted to say, "You damn liar! ”
It was bad, but he was so anxious that some emotions had to be shouted out.
Before he could finish speaking, though, he saw a huge octopus.
The octopus is far away, and it's like an indescribable thing in Cruthus mythology, and it's hard to describe what it is.
In short, it has many tentacles around its body, and its body is an oval cylinder, so it is called an octopus.
Now, it stretched out an arm, firmly grabbed Jiang Yan's waist, and dragged him over.
Everything happened in an instant, Jiang Yan didn't even react at all, he only knew that he saw the octopus, and his words about the spraying forest dream butterfly were still in his mouth.
The next moment, he appeared on a street.
It's an old-fashioned street with potholes on the concrete floor, lined with small stalls, and tall red wooden buildings beyond.
The stall owner of a stall is introducing his belongings with a lot of mouth.
"You believe me," said the stall owner, "and all of my dogwoods are ...... over a hundred years old."
Jiang Yan appeared next to his stall, and then, he said the words that he had been holding back for a long time.
He said to the stall owner, "You damned liar! ”
He spoke very loudly and firmly, as if he had suffered some great grievance, and there was great righteous indignation hidden in his chest.
When he shouted like this, the stall owner was visibly stunned.
Then, immediately, his face turned red.
Is this man here to find fault? He thought, deliberately come to dismantle my platform?
He was trying to prove how valuable his spirit grass was, when this man popped up and called him a liar.
The key is that his tone is still very firm, just like the kind of consumer who wants to be held accountable after being victimized by unscrupulous merchants.
This is equivalent to a bad review.
So, the stall owner noticed that the customer who was still impressed by his sales pitch just now, at this moment, when he looked at the spirit grass on the stall again, there was a little more doubt in his eyes.
