Chapter 147: Nuwa's Tomb (5)
If Zhou Xian still felt that this flowing water was their guide just now, now he felt that it was dragging them to the end of their lives.
The water became obviously turbulent, and the two of them climbed ashore with their waists bent, dripping wet.
Ji Xiaoran had already steam the water on his body very skillfully, took out the towel and handed it to Zhou Xian, "Senior, do you still want to change your clothes?" ”
"Nope." Zhou Xian dried his hair and hung the towel directly around his neck, "Let's do it first." ”
The flowing water went down, directly slid through the drop of nearly 100 meters and turned into a heavenly river, falling into the pool below, and the sound of the water roared.
But Zhou Xian felt that he seemed to see little by little yellow light flickering at the bottom.
At the top of the waterfall, there is a path that goes down the stone wall, which seems to verify that at least life has ever walked down here. The two of them were already familiar with this kind of road, from the waterfall directly to the pool below. The road branched off in the black cave, and the water continued to run down the left, while the dry road on the right led to darkness.
Zhou Xian also saw the little by little yellow light, on the ground at the fork in the road. It was a faded symbol, and it was impossible to see the full shape, let alone what was written.
Ji Xiaoran looked at this faint point of light and felt that this technique was a little familiar. She gathered her spiritual power at her fingertips and clicked on it.
The yellow light instantly lit up with the injection of Ji Xiaoran's spiritual power, faintly restoring the complete pattern of the rune, and then a light voice came out of the rune.
"I hit a fork in the road."
The voice is ethereal, and you can't tell whether you're young or not, or even your gender.
"Time tells me that by passing here, I will be able to get where I want to go."
"On one side is the land of the living, and on the other side is the land of the undead, how do you choose......"
This is the end of the voice, revealing a full of confusion. Ji Xiaoran frowned and looked at Zhou Xian, but found that the other party was also unknown, so he once again injected aura into the dim rune.
It's still that paragraph, it's still that confused voice, and I haven't heard any new clues.
"Which side is the land of the living and which side is the land of the dead?" Ji Xiaoran looked left and right, but he didn't see anything famous.
It's too dark in the cave to see far.
"There's one more question." Zhou Xian's fingers tapped on the rock, "This symbol is not the kind of text that is slender or we can see the direction. From which intersection did the person who left him come from? ”
If that person comes down from above, just like himself, then the road below is a lifetime and a death. But what if he came in from one of the lower paths? There is no doubt that the road they came to is the way of life, so no matter which one they choose next, will they be more than lucky?
"And why did he leave a voice here?"
This place is located under weak water, and he doesn't know how many miles away from the water above, Ji Xiaoran can't figure out who this person wants to leave his words to.
"Maybe it's possible that a person is too uncomfortable, so he leaves a little trace at random? Probably like we sometimes talk to ourselves. Zhou Xian looked at the time, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
The cave where the sun does not see the light of day makes people not even aware of the passage of time. Zhou Xian felt that Mo Feiyan was still a very broken person at this time, and the watch he gave was still running well.
"But this should be a relatively safe place, so why don't you rest here today."
Although the waterfall water is a little noisy, plugging your ears with earplugs is not too much of a problem. After all, they slept well behind the water curtain yesterday.
"Yes, you can." Ji Xiaoran kept squatting, and now he sat directly on the ground, hammering his calf that was already congested and painful little by little, "Actually, I'm wondering if that rune could have been left by Qiqi." ”
The journey of the two of them today is basically Ji Xiaoran's story meeting time. Zhou Xian naturally heard her talk about the cave under Yanyuan, and for this conjecture, he shook his head directly, "According to the location, Kunlun Xuan and Yanyuan are not only separated by Xiao Kunlun, but also separated by Yanshan and weak water. ”
"What is Little Kunlun?"
"Kunlun Hill of the Queen Mother of the West. Later, in order to distinguish it from Kunlun, there will be people there as Little Kunlun. ”
"Is it possible that it was left behind by the resurrected Qiangpi later?" Ji Xiaoran gestured, "In fact, after he fell into the weak water at that time, he didn't rush down the waterfall directly, but entered the cave like us." At that time, he had not completely lost his senses, so he was able to come here. ”
"I think this rune gives me a little bit of familiarity."
"It's possible. So he finally managed to find a way to survive and reached Wakaki. Zhou Xian nodded, but he always felt that he had missed something, "Why don't we listen to it again?" ”
"It's not necessary, is it?" Ji Xiaoran was taking something out of the ring, her face full of resistance, "That voice sounds weak, like the voice of a ghost." ”
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Zhou Xian was a little surprised.
"I'm afraid, I slept with the lights on when I slept in elementary school, and then my mom came to turn off the lights. Later, he slept with his head covered in the quilt. "TV Mobile/
Ji Xiaoran is a person who has never watched horror movies, and even if she is dragged into a haunted house, she will close her eyes the whole time, listening to this kind of sound in this dark cave really makes her feel cautious.
She had already made up her mind that if she used that glowing rune again, she would make sure she made a note of how it was drawn. In the future, she will walk in this kind of dark place, and she will walk all the way, paint all the way, and install street lights in this place!
Zhou Xian has a little impression of the latter one, because even if Ji Xiaoran sleeps in a sleeping bag, she is shrunk inside, and the key is that she doesn't feel bored. He can't, if he is covered in the quilt, it is very likely that he will force out that fragile self.
The two of them didn't make a fire tonight, after all, the air was already a little thin in the depths of this cave. Scooped two scoops of water directly from the pool, and the two of them ate self-heating hot pot, but it was also a chill brought by soaking in water.
"Senior, have you thought about taking that path?" Ji Xiaoran had half a piece of lotus root stuffed in her mouth, and her speech was a little slurred.
"Go with the flow, at least there is a reference, in case you have to turn back, it is easier to find a way."
Water is the source of life, so where there is water, it is easier to have living creatures, right?
Although there is no guarantee that there will be anything like the one above that would threaten their lives.
"But it's weird to think about it now." Zhou Xian pointed to it, "Vesps don't eat people, so they are so encircling us purely because we have invaded their territory?" ”
Ji Xiaoran was instantly embarrassed, no longer answered, and began to eat the things in his bowl all over his head.
