The Secret Collection of Western Sichuan Chapter 9 The Tablet Engraver
Fu Yu was a little surprised: "All those people?" ”
The weirdo shook his head: "None of them." It would be a big joke if the person who carved the monument could die at its hands. ”
Fu Yu was slightly disappointed: "Then where did this rag come from?" ”
"Look at the years of this rag, it's been a long time. Somehow, it was kept in its mouth, and it wasn't corroded. ”
Fu Yu took the rag from the stranger's hand, it was still a little sticky on it, and immediately wanted to throw it away, but he still held back.
I took the rag and wiped it on the stone floor for a long time before I picked it up again and examined it.
The embroidered pattern on the cloth is a swastika "swastika", on which are also embroidered with four small dots, scattered in four indentations.
The strange man saw that Fu Yu was looking seriously, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "The white grimace was slow when it attacked me, as if it was deliberately made for me to find this rag." ”
"This thing is still so spiritual?"
"I don't know, but it's certainly not stupid."
Fu Yu took the opportunity to ask: "Since it is so clever, you didn't tell me before you climbed, and you climbed so fast alone, you clearly want to watch me die?" ”
The strange man's expression was a little embarrassed: "I was negligent for a while, I haven't been here for a long time, and I forgot about it, until I saw the grimace, I didn't remember, after all, this thing is nothing to me." Besides, aren't you standing here unharmed! ”
"Forgot?" Hearing the strange man say this, Fu Yu was a little resentful: "That's right, some people's hearts are as vicious as grimaces, and they almost killed me, but don't let me catch them, otherwise they will dig out their faces and hang them." ”
The weirdo quipped, "Do you have the guts?" Even if you hang it up, it won't die, and when it becomes one with its body, it will be able to run after you again. ”
"Can't die with just a face? It's shameless. ”
"Even people can gain the ability to be immortal, so why can't they? God has to be fair, and he can't be too partial to humans. ”
Thinking of almost being eaten just now, Fu Yu became angry: "Whoever let them harm people everywhere, if they are honest, I will definitely not hold a grudge against them." ”
The strange man's expression was a little bitter: "Maybe this is the price of immortality, do you think they just hurt people?" Those who became immortal do not know how many people they had harmed. ”
"Why do the undead harm people?" Fu Yu was a little confused.
"To not die?"
"Aren't they dead anymore?"
"If something gives you some ability, it has the ability to take it back. It's like this stone ball, which can make people immortal, what if this stone ball is destroyed? No one dares to guarantee that the ability to not die still exists. ”
Fu Yu continued the strange man's words: "They are afraid that the stone ball will be destroyed!" ”
The strange man nodded: "Not everyone is afraid, everything has two sides, and people are the same, some immortals are afraid of the destruction of the stone ball, and some hope to be destroyed, of course, some have transcended the world, enjoy every day of life with peace of mind, and don't care about the destruction of the stone ball at all, but this kind of person is the least, and the state will not last long, and the mind will be shaken." ”
"Since they don't care if the stone ball is destroyed or not, have they revealed anything about the flower seed in the stone?"
The strange man shook his head: "They just don't care about the existence of the stone ball, but they still don't say a word about the seed of the stone flower, and they don't know what secrets it hides." ”
The strange man's words aroused Fu Yu's interest, and he wanted to find the seed of the flower in the stone right now and see what kind of magic it had that kept so many people shut.
Fu Yu thought of Zhang Zhouke again, shook his head, and suppressed these strange thoughts: "Then why does the stele engraver only chase and kill Zhang Zhouke, and not you?" ”
The weirdo scoffed, "Who says no one is chasing me?" Maybe the monk who chased us outside the stone ball just now was pretending to be the person who carved the stele, these people are everywhere, maybe they will see your every move. ”
Fu Yu was deflated again, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he continued to ask, "How do we go next?" ”
The strange man stood up and resolutely stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone cave behind Fu Yu: "Just this one behind you." ”
"You've seen it all?"
"I've been to this place before."
"Been here?"
The strange man snorted and pointed to another cave, "But I came from here before. ”
The strange man lit the torch and walked ahead, pointing to the sign next to the cave: "This has the mark I used to make." ”
Fu Yu looked along his fingers and found that the place was full of marks, messy, and even covered with several layers in some places.
"Can you recognize which one is your mark?"
"Absolutely." The strange man pointed to an upward arrow and asked rhetorically, "Can you not recognize the words you wrote?" ”
Fu Yu didn't ask any more, and followed the strange man into the stone cave, the rhizome of the flower in the stone was still lying quietly in the stone cave, but Fu Yu felt that it had life, and even looked at its skin felt bloody.
Thinking of this thing drinking human blood, Fu Yu didn't dare to touch it, and walked as close to the stone wall as possible.
After changing a few more stone caves with the stranger, Fu Yu saw that the slightly open space was already completely messy, and he felt familiar, so much so that he wondered if he had just walked through.
"Look here." Where the weirdo finger is a bunch of symbols of different shapes, as if to distinguish which one is his own.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yu was a little puzzled.
"This is the symbol left by Zhang Zhouke." The weirdo pointed to one of them.
Fu Yu was speechless and asked a series of questions: "Just a vertical line, you can know that he carved it?" Besides, even if he carved it, how can you tell it? Could it be that you have known each other before? ”
The strange man slowly explained: "Didn't he rest in the hotel yesterday afternoon? Alone came out? ”
Fu Yu carefully recalled the situation after getting off the car yesterday, and replied with some uncertainties: "It seems that he went out for a while, but I can't remember clearly, at that time Liu Jingnan said that he had a stomachache, and rushed into the toilet when he entered the door, Zhang Zhouke also said that he had a stomachache, went out to find a toilet, and came back in a while, I was a little tired, I wanted to rest, and I didn't care too much, I fell asleep on the big bed, I don't know when he came back, but Liu Jingnan asked us to go to dinner, he must be there." ”
"That's right." The strange man's tone was affirmative: "He didn't go back immediately after he went out, but made marks in various places of the Buddhist Academy, and I followed him all the way, and all the marks he made were all vertical lines, vigorous and powerful, and very recognizable." ”
That being said, but among the many symbols, Fu Yu still couldn't see anything unique about this vertical line.
The strange man was a little proud: "If you look at this line carefully, it is extraordinarily straight, and ordinary people can't carve it." ”
Fu Yu didn't refute: "What you say is what you say!" ”
The two were just about to enter the cave when a scream came from another cave, and the two turned back in unison.
Fu Yu looked at the strange man, and the strange man's eyes motioned to look over, and both of them took out their sabers and tiptoed close to the stone cave where the sound came.
There was a hurried and panicked running sound from the dark hole, as if someone was being chased, but it sounded like there was only one person.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the two of them held torches but did not dare to extinguish them, there were too many things in the dark in the stone ball, and they were prone to disaster.
In a trance, a figure appeared, and the sound of running slowed down, as if it was a little exhausted.
Poof.
Under the gaze of the two of them, the black figure fell to the ground stiffly, and silence returned to the cave.
Although the man who fell to the ground did not move, the two did not dare to take it lightly, and still cautiously leaned towards his position.
Until illuminating his figure, it was a man dressed in black.
The strange man no longer hesitated, stepped forward quickly, half-crouched down, handed the torch to Fu Yu, turned over the man's body with both hands, and tore open his coat, revealing the clothes inside.
The symbol on the shirt is exactly the same as the one on the rag, and it is exactly what the strange man called the inscription man.
The skin on the face of the person who carved the stele was all gone, and it looked very terrifying, and the two looked at each other.
The strange man motioned Fu Yu to look inside with his eyes, and Fu Yu instantly understood what he meant, and held up the torch, wanting to see if there was anything else in the depths of the stone cave.
The cave was empty, and there were only the three of them, except for the place that was shaded by the rhizomes.
Suddenly, the person who carved the stele had his hands, his fingers were stained with blood, and he used all his strength to draw a straight vertical line on the ground.
