Chapter 25: Big Things Are Not Good
In this strange cave, I don't know how many secrets are still hidden. They have already gone through two magic circles, and they themselves don't know what awaits them next.
The fabric on the wound on Zhan Cangming's leg had long been soaked with the gushing out, and Zhan Cangming's back had already been soaked with cold sweat from the pain. However, he gritted his teeth desperately, because he knew that he could no longer cause trouble to Mu Liran. However, no matter how patient he was, his body would still tremble slightly because of the painful feeling.
Mu Liran had been supporting him, and naturally felt the unnaturalness of Zhan Cangming's body. She slowed down her pace as she looked up at Zhan Cangming's expression of patience and pain. Every time Zhan Cangming frowned, Mu Liran's heart twitched a little. She held his hand tighter, maybe Mu Liran herself didn't expect that in her life, except for her younger brother, she would care about a person like this. Her heart hung in the air for Zhan Cangming, and she didn't want him to be hurt again.
Feeling Mu Liran's gaze full of concern and worry, Zhan Cangming lowered his head and just met Mu Liran's gaze. And this time, none of them avoided their gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhan Cangming struggled to hold back the pain and pulled out a smile that he thought was gentle.
In Mu Liran's eyes, he was just holding on and refusing to rely on himself. Mu Liran stared at him like this, without words, and the concern and heat in his eyes were self-evident.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhan Cangming didn't continue to speak, and both of them stopped and looked straight at each other. After a long time, Zhan Cangming spoke, "You...... Are you worried about me? "There is anticipation and lack of confidence in the words. He was afraid that Mu Liran would bluntly reject his idea. I wanted to hear her tell herself that she was worried about him. Zhan Cangming was entangled in his heart, but he wanted to know Mu Liran's heart, so he forced himself to ask this sentence.
"Promise me, don't risk it for me again." Mu Liran didn't answer Zhan Cangming's question directly, but told him his mind in another way. Mu Liran's eyes were firm, she had never been a twisted person, but she was always insensitive to her feelings. She is now fighting Cangming, whether she likes it, or loves, or something else, she herself doesn't know. However, her heart, which didn't want Zhan Cangming to be hurt again, showed Zhan Cangming unreservedly.
Hearing this, Zhan Cangming was stunned, she ...... This is...... Admit it? Zhan Cangming's heart became happy, and all the previous entanglements and worries were swept away. Even if he didn't get a positive reply from Mu Liran, he was already excited now.
"You're worth it." Zhan Cangming smiled again, compared to the previous laughter, this time it was more like a joy from the bottom of his heart. The mood suddenly trembled, and even felt that the wound on his leg was not as painful as just now. He bent his good-looking eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up, his left hand holding Mu Liran's waist tightened a little, and with Mu Liran, he raised his feet and walked forward.
Mu Liran's heart also trembled, Zhan Cangming's three words completely touched Mu Liran's heart, no one had ever put her on the tip of their hearts like this, and no one had ever cared about her like this. She even thought about how good it would be if that moment had just become eternal like that.
It's a pity that she understands that she is just a wisp of remnant soul that has crossed over, and she doesn't know when and what month she will return to her original world, and she shouldn't have too much nostalgia for this world. However, when you are emotional, you can't control it.
Mu Liran and Zhan Cangming just supported each other and walked forward, about the time of walking a pillar of incense, and finally saw a stone door in front of them. This must be where the next circle will be.
This stone door is surprisingly large, with an ancient mural engraved on it, as well as intricate ancient characters. This is obviously the script of the ancient period, but the form of this character is roughly similar to the glyph in some ancient texts of the Warring Qin Kingdom.
Zhan Cangming stepped forward and raised his hand to caress the words on the stone door. Ying's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had seen something.
"What is written on it is the origin of this circle, and ...... The way the stone door opens. Zhan Cangming's eyes were solemn, trying to identify the ancient characters on the stone door. Due to its age and the fact that the cave has been unvisited for many years, the text has become damaged.
After a long time, Zhan Cangming finally stopped observing, he walked to the crack in the middle of the stone door and stretched out his two hands to grope on the stone door, and finally, at the closest to the middle crack, there were two small stone pits that were sunken down, the stone pits were arranged in parallel, and there were two strange figures corresponding to it not far from above. Zhan Cangming took a deep breath, stretched out his two index fingers, and pressed them towards the two small stone pits. In an instant, the sky was spinning, and the sound of the mechanism constantly activating came from all around, and the stone gate in front of him slowly opened. Dust filled their sights, and they took the initiative to approach each other's positions.
When the stone door was opened two-thirds of the way, suddenly a few cold lights flashed in the door, and Zhan Cangming instantly realized that it was not good! Mu Liran is in danger! Then, Zhan Cangming didn't think too much, so he pounced directly in the direction of Mu Liran behind him, knocking her to the ground, and then there were more and more arrows in the door, but fortunately, the sword rain did not reach the ground, Zhan Cangming had to continue to press Mu Liran like this, waiting for the end of the sword rain.
The two were very close, and they could hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, Mu Liran was distracted, and two red glows climbed on his face. The aura of the man on her body constantly stimulated Mu Liran's senses, making her lose the ability to think for a moment, so she had to stay obediently under Zhan Cangming's body.
Is she very resistant to herself......
Mu Liran, who is nervous about feelings, did not notice the change in Zhan Cangming. She tore off the corners of her skirt and tied it to Zhan Cangming's injured leg, simply stopping the bleeding for him.
Due to his injury, Zhan Cangming sat for a while and then fell into a deep sleep. Mu Liran stayed quietly by his side. Occasionally, when I saw him frowning and moaning, my heart tingled slightly.
You fool......
I'm just a remnant of time and space, and you're so stupid to save me......
After a rough calculation of the hour, it was about the hour. When the sun sets, it's time when the ghosts are at their most active.
That......
Mu Liran looked worried, turned his head to look at Zhan Cangming, who was lying on the stone, but saw the latter's eyelashes move slightly and opened his eyes.
"How's it going?"
She eagerly walked over to Zhan Cangming's side, leaned down and reached out to reach for his forehead, the warmth coming from her hand relieved her.
Fortunately, I didn't have a fever.
They are now in a difficult situation, and if the wound is not properly treated, it is very likely that it will become inflamed and cause fever. It's okay, it's okay, the head is not hot.
Unconsciously, Zhan Cangming's status in his heart was getting higher and higher, but she didn't notice it like an idiot.
She was about to withdraw her hand, but Zhan Cangming took the first step to hold her hand. His expression was calm, but there were waves underneath his eyes.
"Help me up."
The faint coolness in the air made him a little uncomfortable. I don't know how long he slept this night, looking at the situation, now he estimates that the sun should be about to set......
If they don't find a safe place now, they will be in a difficult situation when the time comes.
Obviously, Mu Liran also thought of this. She didn't twist, and generously drilled her head out from under Zhan Cangming's arm, using her shoulders as his support.
"The psychedelic array has been broken, and I don't know if there will be any more next, be careful."
Zhan Cangming reminded lightly, and his words were full of care for Mu Liran.
Everyone in the world can be hurt, but you can't.
Because if you get hurt, I'll be distressed.
Mu Liran carried Zhan Cangming towards the depths of the unfathomable Imperial Mausoleum. The night pearl embedded in the stone wall beside the road hit them with a warm light, causing the air to become ambiguous.
The two embracing each other stopped at the corner of the stone wall, because they saw the other world.
The huge stone chamber is illuminated as bright as day by the night pearl, and the ten-centimeter-deep recesses on the ground form a grid, and the half-meter-high cylindrical stones are neatly arranged, and in the center of the stone chamber is a three-meter-wide stream of water. This, this is the chessboard!
The view swept over the board and saw that there was one less pawn in front of the right side of your Black!
Is this a substitute for a pawn?
Mu Liran helped Zhan Cangming, did not rashly touch the chessboard, but carefully checked the surroundings with his eyes.
On the ground in front of the chessboard there is a small chessboard, the layout is the same as the large chessboard, except for the pawn on the upper right.
There is a line of small words on the side of the small chessboard, and I don't know what it is written in, but it is blurry but legible after the years.
"One pawn can shake three armies, and one person can defeat ten thousand soldiers."
"Does that mean let me take the place of the lost pawn on the other side?"
Mu Liran stared at this line of small characters and thought for a while, and guessed.
"No."
Before she could act, a cold voice came and stopped her.
"This chessboard is weird, what should you do if something goes wrong in your daughter's family!"
Mu Liran must not risk herself, he doesn't allow her to take care of herself so much!
Seeing Zhan Cangming's hard attitude, Mu Liran pressed him to the ground hard, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her knee kicked his wound, and it hurt his life into a cold sweat.
"I'm not going, are you going to be an injured person?"
Her gaze is firm and full of confidence.
"This small chessboard should be connected to the big chessboard, and if the small chess pieces move, the big chess pieces will move. Red should be uncontrollable. And the next thing to do is to control the black chess pieces and take the opposing army! ”
The girl's eyes have a light called Unyielding, as if she wants to break through the darkness and soar!
Mu Liran's eyes seemed to have magical power, and those radiant pupils actually made the resolute Zhan Cangming Ghost nod his head.
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to get hurt."
The girl's clothes are fluttering, and her body is agile, like an elegant butterfly slowly falling into the chessboard.
The moment the butterfly touched the chessboard, the red piece moved. A heavy coercion struck, and the battle-hardened veteran took a fierce step.
Feeling the killing intent of the veteran, the corners of Mu Liran's lips hooked a shallow arc.
She guessed correctly, this chessboard is not to test the IQ of the intruder, but to obliterate it!
At this time, there is only one target for these red chess, and that is - her!
"Zhan Cangming, pay attention to protect me!"
"Okay."
At the moment when the words fell, a strong battle intent surged behind him. She turned around with excitement, and the majestic handsome took a steady step forward.
Handsome...... Handsome?!
"What the hell are you going to play?"
Ignoring the image, Mu Liran collapsed and yelled at someone who was calm and relaxed outside the chessboard.
She has been a human being for two lives, and she has never seen any winds and waves, but this is the first time she has seen someone take the first step to become handsome.
"No, it won't."
