Chapter 29: Misunderstanding
Zhan Cangming seemed to be able to feel that all the wounds on his body were tearing little by little, and he even subtly realized that the fiber-like thing that made up his thigh muscles was overwhelmed, tearing and breaking little by little, and for the first time he felt the helplessness of being a person with limited ability-
After all, in the past, he was like a god of death who despised the nobodies around him, like cutting off the weeds on the side of the road, and used the sword in his hand to draw exquisite and beautiful calligraphy and paintings in crimson on the battlefield.
The stone wall of the "Boom ......" was successfully pried up, and when it received the signal, it automatically rose to the top of the chamber, revealing a dark narrow passage.
This passage was so narrow that they could barely pass it by walking sideways on their sides.
However, after the endless darkness, what is ushered in is not absolute light, but only a faint light that seems to be close to darkness.
The center of the imperial mausoleum does not seem to be as prosperous and extravagant as the entrance, but just like a relatively neat cave, and the atmosphere is particularly weird.
Mu Liran, who almost broke through the ghost gate, didn't pay attention, and was excited like a child to find some treasure.
Zhan Cangming is different, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, although he is generally like a butcher, bloodbathing every war, but when he was young, he was a fledgling, which day was not running on the edge of death? Almost every day, the news of death was approaching him, and he could only keep pretending and changing, and the battlefield war made him have to cool his face from time to time while enjoying the joy to prevent accidents from happening.
"Come and see, Zhan Cangming!"
Behind a huge stone screen, there is a high platform, embedded in the high platform, is a shimmering golden pearl, it seems to be just an ordinary jewel, but Mu Liran can be sure that this pearl, through layers of obstacles, can be reproduced in the world, the power can be seen.
Mu Liran cautiously approached the pearl, wanting to take a closer look, but he never thought that at the moment when the pearl was about to leave the stone platform, a ghost guarding the pearl appeared behind the stone platform.
Mu Liran's mind was all on the pearl, and he didn't notice anything unusual at all.
The ghost was originally because of the footsteps of people, which would only keep people away from the stone platform, but the warm and sweet blood exuded by the wood glaze, but it was like a deadly temptation that deeply attracted the ghost, and the gentle ghost began to become agitated and violent, as if the slightest smell suddenly awakened its hunger that had been sealed for thousands of years.
The ghost pounced at once.
"Boom!" A heavy fall to the ground pulled the somewhat distracted Mu Liran back to reality.
"What's the matter, Zhan Cangming? How did you fall? The sound of falling to the ground seemed to be accompanied by a terrible ghost's cry, Mu Liran thought that he had heard it wrong, and immediately picked up Zhan Cangming, who fell to the ground, and let him lean on his shoulder.
"Ahem...... It's okay, I accidentally fell, maybe the injury on my leg is a little torn, it's no big deal. Zhan Cangming lay on Mu Liran's shoulder, greedy for every trace of gentleness and cold breath emanating from Mu Liran, but he still wanted to quickly take Mu Liran away, "Don't worry about me yet, you go and get the pearl." ”
He was crazy in his heart, he wanted this woman to be by his side, but he was afraid that the new injuries on his body would make her blame herself-
How did he change his way to scare her before, but now he doesn't know what's wrong with him, he never thought about what he looks like when he is emotional, and he never thinks that he will be tempted by this woman, he doesn't even understand the feeling of being tempted, all of this is just according to his own wishes, there are no superfluous thoughts.
But just now, when the evil ghost pounced on Mu Liran, how scared he was, afraid of losing someone he thought was unimportant.
But for the sake of Mu Liran, who thought it was unimportant, when the evil ghost pounced on her, Zhan Cangming tried his best to block the front, and while subduing the evil ghost, he was seriously injured for Mu Liran, and he was afraid that this person who thought it was unimportant would blame himself for worrying about himself......
The pain on his back was no less than the pain of being pierced through his leg alive by a stone tool at that time, this feeling of being able to stun people alive made Zhan Cangming feel it twice for the same woman......
Zhan Cangming still didn't think about the relationship between men and women, as if in his eyes, who had never experienced love, it seemed that everything so ambiguous and tender was so taken for granted.
Maybe he just thinks at most - what's wrong with him lately, why does he have a strange feeling?
Then, don't think about it anymore and ignore it.
Maybe this is the so-called secret affection......
"Look! I got it! Look, what a beautiful golden color! Mu Liran's cold eyes flashed with excitement - the kind of light that was enough to illuminate Zhan Cangming's hollow and dim gray eyes.
"Yes, it's beautiful...... Zhan Cangming's gray eyes were finally illuminated by the light, and his eyes involuntarily overflowed with gentle light, but now that he was seriously injured, he was so weak that it was very difficult to show a smile.
Taking a big breath of fresh air has become a luxury for Zhan Cangming now. On the back that had just been attacked, warm liquid slowly flowed down, and Zhan Cangming didn't have much consciousness left. The only support that kept him from completely fainting at this time was Mu Liran's safety.
The ghost just now, I don't know when it will reappear, he warns himself, and he will not allow himself, to lose consciousness at this time.
Mu Liran could naturally see that something was wrong with him, obviously when he first came in, Zhan Cangming's mental state was not as weak as this. After the sudden fall to the ground just now, his face became noticeably paler.
What is the reason for this, Mu Liran was thinking about it, suddenly lowered her head, and saw the golden pearl in her arms, she suddenly realized that since this pearl is a divine object guarded by these five formations, how can it be placed on this high platform so openly?
Mu Liran put this divine bead into his sleeve, half-knelt beside Zhan Cangming, raised his hand, and gently wiped his cheeks, Zhan Cangming smiled weakly, his eyes were full of doting on Mu Liran. Zhan Cangming raised a hand and gently held Mu Liran's hand, which was caressing his hand. Whispered, "You're alright...... It's just ......."
"Don't talk, you need to rest." Mu Liran stood up, her expression was a little solemn, she gently supported Zhan Cangming, and gently leaned him on the side of the high platform. Then she stood up and took a closer look at the high platform. It turned out that underneath the bead that had just been placed, there were many text carvings. Mu Liran held his breath and bent down slightly, trying to make out the already somewhat blurry handwriting.
The content of the handwriting is an introduction to this bead and the guardian of the bead. It turns out that this bead is called "Golden God Pearl" and has a powerful control power. It is the owner of this imperial tomb, the most precious treasure in his lifetime, and this treasure has been guarded by the guardians of protection. From this text, it seems that this guardian is a thousand-year-old spirit, and its speed is extremely fast, and it comes and goes without a trace.
However, after all this time, I didn't feel the slightest movement. What exactly is this ......? Don't! She suddenly realized something, looked at Zhan Cangming who was dying, and realized that the stone wall that Zhan Cangming was leaning against had blood marks.
Mu Liran realized that the fall of Zhan Cangming just now was to protect himself. Suddenly, her heart was filled with guilt, and in the face of Zhan Cangming, who had to protect herself even if she risked her life, she instantly didn't know how to continue to face him calmly. She squatted down, took out this divine pearl, and gently placed it in Zhan Cangming's arms, the warm golden light shrouded Zhan Cangming's body, and when she came into contact with Zhan Cangming, her consciousness was slowly recovered, and the wound on her back stopped bleeding.
However, she didn't master the true use of the Golden Divine Bead, so Zhan Cangming's physical condition only returned to a state where she could get up and walk.
Mu Liran lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Zhan Cangming, she didn't know what mood to use to face him. She pursed her lips tightly, and her originally plump lips were pursed into a thin line by her. Mu Liran's eyes were slightly moist, and she tried her best to keep her eyes wide to prevent her tears from slipping down her eyes.
Zhan Cangming sat up and hugged Mu Liran in his arms. The movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a fragile treasure, Zhan Cangming had no emotional experience, and he didn't know how to coax Mu Liran, who was secretly sad. He thought that he couldn't do anything now, so he would give her a sense of security. Perhaps this can bring a little comfort to her heart.
Mu Liran didn't break free from this embrace, and quietly buried her head in his chest, she knew that she had fallen in, but she didn't want to leave the gentle swamp, even if she fell deeper and deeper, she also admitted.
The two hugged like this, and when Mu Liran finally stopped sobbing, the two ended the hug. Zhan Cangming was a little reluctant, he didn't expect that the feeling of hugging a girl with his heart would be so inextricable. He straightened his shirt, feeling the warmth she had left on him with his fingertips.
The hug was long, and the two of them had almost recovered their strength. He was ready to continue on the road to find the exit of the imperial tomb.
Zhan Cangming knew the effect of this golden divine bead, so he sternly asked Mu Liran to carry this on his body, and then he really started on the road.
There are many holes in the walls of the center of the Imperial Mausoleum. However, the two did not know which one was the only way to the outside world. We can only move forward side by side.
Time passed minute by minute, but the two still circled back to the center of the imperial mausoleum. Mu Liran proposed that the two of them go their separate ways, in order to save time. But he was rejected by Zhan Cangming, and Zhan Cangming would never allow Mu Liran to leave him half a step away from him in this imperial mausoleum.
Mu Liran couldn't resist Zhan Cangming, and after all, he didn't leave his side, but chose to continue to walk with him. Indeed, Zhan Cangming's every move gave Mu Liran a great sense of security, this was the first time that Mu Liran trusted and relied on a person so much in his previous life and in this life. However, the more Zhan Cangming was like this, the more guilty Mu Liran felt in her heart, she thought that she was not worthy of his hard work.
Just as Mu Liran was thinking about his own fantasies, the voices of the three people suddenly came into the ears of the two.
A crisp male voice sounded, with anxiety, very familiar, ...... this?
