Chapter 15 Westbound Bamboo Dam
Hua Banxue escaped from the control of the strange stone without danger. As she sat on the ground, she burst out laughing out loud.
Xiao Shi was so frightened that he took a step back and stammered, "Old, teacher, you, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hua Banxue stood up with some difficulty and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." I'm happy because I've figured out something very important! ”
Xiaoshi said, "Teacher, what is the matter?" ”
Hua Banxue pulled the small stone and walked out, while saying, "Let's go out and talk, this is not the place to talk." ”
The two of them walked out of the abandoned military base as quickly as they came. To be on the safe side, they refused to stop even to rest and returned to the exit of the scenic spot.
Hua Banxue condensed for a while, and then relaxed. She said to Xiaoshi, "I just probed and the nuclear energy is not leaking out of the base. So we're safe for now. ”
Little Stone also breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Teacher, I'm confused. If nuclear energy is not leaking, why is it dangerous just now? And you said that you have thought about one thing clearly, what is it? ”
Hua Banxue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you slowly." She carefully took out the letter stone she had just gotten from her pocket, as well as the strange stone, and gently wiped the ashes from the stone with her hands. I saw that the strange stone was exposed inside, and it was actually a crystal clear green crystal.
Hua Banxue held the crystal in the palm of her hand and tentatively used her spiritual power to probe it again. As she expected, Crystal's An's sharing this time did not put her in danger again. The important thing she said was to realize that this crystal was most likely a relic of the Langmu people, and it was also the material used to build Cloud City. The question she had wondered about before was why the messengers in Cloud City didn't collect the letter stones for later use, the biggest reason was that the letter stones would inhibit or neutralize the function of this material.
Hua Banxue speculated that the letter stone and this Langmu vigilance were kept in a certain state of balance in the base, and when the two of them took out the letter stone from the ruins of the test bench in the base, they inadvertently broke the balance between the two, so that the crystal played an effect, and Hua Banxue's spiritual power fell into crisis. When Xiao Shi put the letter stone and the crystal at a close distance again, the two returned to equilibrium again, and only then did Hua Banxue be rescued.
Xiao Shi listened to Hua Banxue's description, and said with palpitations: "Teacher Hua, this time is too thrilling. Could it be that the Master of Empty Lines deliberately set it up...... Pitfall? Thinking of this, he was a little frustrated, after all, he had always regarded Kongxing as his martial arts teacher.
Hua Banxue shook her head and said, "I don't think that's the case. The empty line asked us to come here, on the one hand, to obtain the letter stone, and on the other hand, it really wanted us to see the secret of this crystal. But I'm sure he definitely didn't want to put us in danger. She comforted the little stone and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the existence of this crystal is unknown to the rest of the people in Cloud City." ”
Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "But teacher, I still think this base is very weird. ”
Hua Banxue nodded and said, "That's right." An inexplicably abandoned and vacant nuclear base is strange from the inside out, as well as the nuclear energy that comes and goes. I think it's best not to touch the secrets of this behemoth until we don't have a certain strength base. ”
Seeing that Hua Banxue did not insist on taking risks, Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Teacher Hua, we have already obtained two letter stones in just a few days, where should we go next?" ”
Hua Banxue took out the letter left by Kong Xing when he left from his backpack. She opened the old envelope and pulled out a yellowed one of them, only to see a map drawn on it, and on the map were several place names in ancient letters.
Hua Banxue identified it and found that this was the map of the southwest region of Longhua Country where he was located. Several places such as Guanjiang, Zhuba, and Linzhou were circled with vermilion pens. She carefully looked at the distance and direction, and said, "According to the instructions of Master Kongxing, let's go down this route, and we should head west here, to Zhuba." ”
Little Stone asked, "Bamboo Dam?" How come I haven't heard of this place? ”
Hua Banxue said: "This bamboo dam is just for a small place that is unknown. But more than a decade ago, a disaster occurred there, and many people remember this sad town. ”
Xiao Shi suddenly said, "Teacher Hua, do you mean that big earthquake?" ”
Hua Banxue nodded.
Xiao Shi was no longer as excited as he was just now, and he asked, "Teacher, what is an earthquake like?" Why do earthquakes happen? ”
Hua Banxue shook her head and said, "It was an unimaginable horror scene. Human beings are too small in the face of the power of the earth. She sighed and said, "Look at the Langmu people, they are almost invincible existences, and they haven't disappeared in the long river of time?" Only the earth and nature have remained unchanged for eons of eternity. ”
Little Stone nodded as if he didn't understand.
The two went to Guanjiang City, found a hotel, rested for a day, and then continued westward.
A day later, the two arrived at Zhuba. A dozen years ago, an earthquake completely destroyed the city. The current appearance of the city was later rebuilt, and it looks neat and clean.
As soon as Hua Banxue got out of the car, he was silent and thoughtful.
Xiaoshi asked, "Teacher, are you tired from the car?" Let's find a place to eat and rest. ”
Hua Banxue nodded and said, "I've been analyzing the relationship between several locations indicated by Master Empty Lines along the way. But I couldn't figure it out. This small bamboo dam town also gives me a strange feeling. ”
Xiao Shi said vigilantly, "Could it be that there are letter stones and source field power beasts here?" ”
Hua Banxue said: "On the contrary, I tried to sense it, and there is no breath of the letter stone here at all. She frowned, and said, "Looks like there's something unusual waiting for us here." I still believe that Master Empty Travel has no malice. ”
The two of them had no clue about Kongxing's instructions and letter stones, so they simply wandered aimlessly through the streets of Zhuba.
Xiaoshi asked, "Teacher, do you think we can still see the remains of the earthquake at that time?" I heard that an earthquake can tear mountains apart, can we see what the mountains look like? ”
Hua Banxue's heart moved. She had a vague idea.
"Okay, let's ask a local." Hua Banxue said.
The two found a small roadside shop and asked the owner if there were any signs of damage from the earthquake around the city.
The owner treats the two as ordinary tourists, informing them that there is an earthquake site museum outside the city.
The two said hello to the address, got into a taxi and went straight to the destination museum.
