24. Dark Stone
No matter what the crowd guesses, there's no doubt about it: they're all trapped by this strange suspension bridge.
……
"Dog system, what's the use of you? I can't even give some clues! In the dim corner, a cold and disgusted voice lingered in it.
This is the third day that Xia Zhi has been trapped on the four-character suspension bridge!
On the second day after entering the suspension bridge, she was like an initiation and understood the words on the four-character suspension bridge. Therefore, the problem of spatial dislocation caused by the activity of the four-character suspension bridge was preliminarily solved. But even then, she couldn't find anyone in the group.
The author of the thriller novel is also crooked, and the four-character suspension bridge is indeed "alive".
There is no obstruction between the bridges, and there is no obstruction from the bridge.
When he first discovered this problem, Xia Zhi came up with two guesses.
First, the four-character suspension bridge has a peculiar color and shape, and its origin is unknown, which may have some kind of visual confusing effect. For example, Hongyang Peak is close at hand, and they may not be able to reach their destination when they go around looking around, because they have unconsciously taken some kind of psychedelic drug, and they may actually be spinning in place to reach the other side.
Second, the bridge does not have psychedelic abilities, since it can not rely on scientific and technological capabilities, it may be bold to assume that the people who made it dared not to install blocking devices between bridges without fear, and let it have a "maze" effect, which must ensure that there is some kind of interoperability between these bridges. For example: mechanisms.
It wasn't until the next day, after Xia Zhi could read the words on every wooden board on the four-character suspension bridge, that she ruled out the first possibility.
It is clearly written on the bridge deck: no drugs, no psychedelic effect! - Mysterious real person.
It's not that what others say is what, but Xia Zhi can vaguely feel the role of the contract in these words.
Deed, a technique of speaking and telling. The first technique that the Xia disciples learned. The purpose is to help them develop a good habit of not making promises easily, but making promises that will be fulfilled.
Xia Zhi guessed that this person named Xuanji Zhenren said this at this moment, because he wanted to prove that the fantasy of this bridge tower did not rely on external objects, but was a real ingenious work.
Before reading these words, everyone can only determine the direction according to the different words as reference marks, but they are completely unaware that these words are not the same from different angles.
Because Wang Ma and a group of people don't understand these words, they can only rely on luck to touch the blind cat and kill the mouse. Even if they find that they can't get out, it is only the result of the words being too similar, the dizziness of the empty space, and the difficulty of making out the dim environment.
Xia Zhi knows these words, and it is indeed just similar to what G4526 said, the classical Chinese that students learn, inspirational quotes. The content is the same, but it undoubtedly provides her with a reference.
In this way, Xia Zhi acted differently from other people's intuition at every turn, but purposefully acted according to the content of the text.
Since knowing this reference, Xia Zhi rarely stopped, walking in the four-character hanging building to investigate. Even so, she had never encountered a living creature!
This undoubtedly proves once again that the four-character hanging building will be active!
Sitting in a small dimly lit corner, with his back against a pillar, his left hand skillfully and delicately smoothing the skin of the little milk (not yet hairy), and the dagger in his right hand is not far from his hand.
Xia Zhi lowered his eyes, his crow-like eyelashes fanned slightly, and his bright red lips were pursed. Make a contemplative state.
First of all, the task issued by the dog system: obtaining the "Dark Stone" is related to this suspension bridge that appeared out of thin air. Now she can't get along with the others, and it's probably related to that.
Secondly, does the content of these words really have nothing to do with the bridge? Or do these words really only serve as a reference?
Finally, how exactly did the bridge "live"?
Intuition told Xia Zhi that the effect of these words could not be just like this, since it could guide her to initially discern the direction in the empty and directionless bridge, then it was also possible to lead her to the dark stone!
Alive...... How do you bring a bridge back to life?
The thoughts in his mind rolled into a ball, and Xia Zhi beat his head vigorously, trying to let the glimmer of inspiration that finally flashed shine in his entire mind.
Xia Zhi's mind was in a mess, his eyes fell on the bridge deck, and he began to wander. The words on the bridge deck also changed into various shapes in her eyes.
I see!!!
A flash of inspiration instantly lit up the entire dim mind for Xia Zhi.
She had always known that the bridge was difficult to discern, or she wouldn't need to know the words to be able to tell the way.
But what she has been ignoring is that she subconsciously attributed the movement of the bridge to the fact that there are mechanisms on the bridge, which have quietly changed as she walks.
Just now, she finally stopped and looked at the words from a different angle. She realized that as her perspective changed, the words on the bridge deck were gradually changing, and they became another word!
No wonder these words, word for word, are similar! Xia Zhi knew these words suddenly, as if he had been opened by some kind of writing mechanism. So the subconscious mind once again misled her, making her think that the similarity between the words is the characteristic of this kind of writing.
In reality, it's not all true!
It's not a coincidence that the glyphs are similar, but it's not a coincidence that so many words are similar and come together!
When you look at the words from different perspectives, the words will change and the meaning will change. But no matter how it changes, in the end, these words are combined, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that inspirational aphorism.
So the fact is that the designer of this four-character suspension bridge made use of the similarities between the glyphs and the blind spots that ordinary people will subconsciously ignore, as a visual mechanism, attracting people who don't know how to become blind cats, and people who understand to become blind!
After understanding all this, Xia Zhi no longer delayed, hugged Xiao Niqi, and in the bridge, began the "mentally retarded behavior" of looking like a fool in the eyes of others, turning in circles in place.
No matter how "stupid" the process is, the result is always good.
"Ding! If you find a dark stone, get it as soon as possible. ”
Xia Zhi didn't have time to think about what the dark stone looked like, so he could only try to hold the little milk qi who was suddenly struggling and kept not letting it break free.
At this time, in front of Xia Zhi was a dark red transparent lens. The lens is about one meter tall and is a cylinder with a radius of 20 centimeters.
In the center of the cylinder is a black crystal in the shape of a pentagram, surrounded by a steady stream of black mist, through which the red lens occasionally penetrates for a moment.
Xia Zhi took out a small toy from the space at random and struck towards the faint black mist that seeped out. In an instant, Xia Zhi's control over it was weakened, and the little toy began to be infected with black mist, and when the whole thing was shrouded in black mist, the little toy also turned into a trace of black mist and took the initiative to melt into it.
This red cylinder should have been deliberately used to block the black crystals from emitting black mist unscrupulously. Xia Zhi thought to himself.
After circling around the cylinder, I made sure there were no strange traps around. Xia Zhi pressed the struggling little milk qi harder and harder, and at the same time meditated on how to take out this "dark stone".
This dark stone is too dangerous.
Just as Xia Zhi was about to take out Zizhu and Alien Goat's milk to give Xiao Niqi "Shunmao", intending to temporarily appease it and delay time to think of countermeasures, the dark stone in the dark red crystal seemed to be summoned by something and began to beat.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The dark stone is like a heart, accompanied by the sound of "dong dong", from the initial height of one or two centimeters, to the height of twenty or thirty centimeters.
At this rate, it won't take long for the dark stone to jump out, and the consequences are unimaginable!
Darkstone ...... Light Stone! Are they related? One dark, one holy. The dog system is really a typical example of not enough to succeed and more to lose! Xiao Niqi has been eating light stones for so long, what dark stones do you want? Can light and darkness be a pair of brothers?
Tucao is complaining, Xia Zhi is holding Xiao Niqi in one hand and a dagger in the other, and the "Walking in the Sky" exercise is ready at any time, and the abilities in his body are even more extreme. At the same time, he did not forget to exchange the crystal nucleus for some light stones, ready to fight back and escape at any time.
Sure enough, after a while, the dark stone rushed out of the dark red crystal and went straight to Xiao Niqi. At this time, Xiao Maoqi rebelled against the rebellion just now, and she didn't want to be obedient.
Xia Zhi only thought that Xiao Niqi was frightened, and held it to his chest, and the dagger was placed in front of him to protect it. A steady stream of fire-based abilities overflowed from her body, forming a solid wall of fire, and the "Stepping in the Sky" under her feet was used to the extreme, and she withdrew three or five meters in the blink of an eye.
Xia Zhi, who was trying to fight against the dark stone and retreating, didn't notice it at all, and the little milk qi who was blocked by her eyes and placed on her chest was assimilated by a milky white patch.
At the same moment, the light stone she had exchanged for was also disappearing rapidly. When the exchanged light stones ran out, one by one "fresh" light stones were exchanged for G4526 in a steady stream.
Xiao Niqi's small and round eyes quickly turned pure white, but they didn't stay for long, as the dark stone approached, a little bit of black starlight that seemed to be crumpled appeared in its eyes, slowly but surely spreading.
At this time, the dark stone seemed to have lost patience, completely ignoring all Xia Zhi's efforts, turning into a meteor and disappearing in Xiao Niqi's forehead.
The strong impact, coupled with the continuous supply of energy, and the collision of two completely opposing attributes, caused Xiao Niqi to mutter.
The milky "um, um" sound has long been less full of energy than it used to be, and it is more weak and pitiful.
Xia Zhi watched from the sidelines, unable to help at all, and was so anxious that he was sweating. Peach Blossom's eyes are full of pity, unbearability and anger!
As time passed, the voice of the little milk stranger screaming in pain became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, the power of darkness and light erupting around it was also decreasing.
Finally, all the energy was absorbed by Xiao Niqi, and a gossip pattern was formed in its small eyes, and finally broke away and became the size of Xiao Niqi, emitting a strong but not dazzling light, covering the entire Xiao Niqi in one fell swoop, and then disappeared in its body.
At this point, everything is not over yet, starting from Xiao Niqi's unbearable pain before rubbing Xia Zhi's little head. First the ears, around the eyes, and the limbs, black fuzz grows, and then the rest of the area is covered with white fuzz little by little.
The dark stone is not harmful to Xiao Niqi as he thought, but directly promotes its growth. Xia Zhi finally settled down.
The peach blossom eyes are shining, and she has been looking forward to the little milk for a long time!
