-6 Shallow Floating Mountain
got out of the elevator, but Lu Banxin was stunned.
What appeared in front of her was a very empty space, the top looked like a natural cave, the white stone wall hung with a lot of stalactites, and the surrounding walls were embedded with at least thousands of stone caves of different sizes, the small ones were only the size of a fist, and the largest was nearly two meters long and wide, and there was an item in each stone cave, chopsticks, hairpins, teacups, rings, mirrors...... It includes almost most of the daily necessities, and even some strange-looking wood, bricks, and tiles.
If it weren't for the fact that these things were all placed in the stone cave, there was no barcode, and there was no cashier, Lu Banxin almost thought that he had walked into a theme life supermarket.
Although Zhu Heng was wearing a white hexagram, it was obviously not a hospital here, combined with his identity, Lu Banxin guessed that most of these things were related to fierce beasts, awakened people, and gatekeepers.
She pondered for a moment, and walked to the smallest stone cave on the left side of the elevator, the hole was only big enough to fit a fist, about two inches deep, and the roof of the cave was embedded with a spotlight the size of a fingernail, and under the lamp was a wooden tray on which a beast's tooth was placed.
On one side of the hole is a piece of brass the size of a mobile phone, with lines carved into it.
- Lingyue calendar 879-917
The gatekeeper of the nine roads in the last ash: Zhong Xinping
After the Zhong family was extinct, the white teeth returned to the shallow floating mountain.
Lu Banxin's heart tightened slightly, this tooth gave her a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, indescribable, in short, very weird.
Withdrawing his gaze from the beast's teeth, the familiar feeling vanished.
Lu Banxin looked at the stone cave next to him, and inside was an ancient oil-paper umbrella, and the copper plate read: Lingyue Calendar 1339 to 1348, the gatekeeper of the Seven Paths of the Sea of Fog: Wang Yi, Wang's Absolute Queen, the Yin Umbrella returned to Qianfu Mountain.
After looking at a few pieces of copper in a row, Lu Banxin's face became whiter and whiter, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably.
She...... Understood these strange caves.
The spiritual calendar is another way of recording time in this world, and the numbers that follow it are the time spans of those people who became gatekeepers. The Nine Paths of the End Gray and the Seven Paths of the Sea of Fog should be the locations, and Zhong Xinping and Wang Yi, like their grandfathers, are the gatekeepers of these two places. The white tooth and the umbrella and other items in the cave may have the same function as the old pocket watch, which was used to suppress the susceptible relics.
Seeing this, Lu Banxin finally understood that the people who inherited these holy relics could only be close relatives of the same family, so grandpa's old pocket watch could only be passed on to himself.
And the reason why Zhong Xinping and Wang Yi's names are recorded here is because the Zhong family and the Wang family are completely extinct in their generation.
Lu Banxin thought of his grandfather again.
In the era when my grandfather was born, because of the low cost of having children and the solidification of the old people's thinking, every family would have several children, but my grandfather was an exception.
Grandpa is an only son, including his ancestors are all single-lineage, grandpa married and gave birth to a father, and soon grandma died. A few years after his father got married, his mother also died, which made Lu Banxin have to wonder if the death of his relatives was related to the secret that the Lu family kept secrets? Will their Lu family one day disappear completely in this world?
In this era, the continuation of a family's bloodline no longer even needs the most instinctive way of human reproduction, and the progress of science has given people a lot of choices.
In the same era, it is so difficult to exterminate the bloodline of a family, but these people are all dead.
And judging from the time recorded on the iron plate, it seems that the lifespan of becoming a gatekeeper is not long.
After experiencing this night, the word 'death' is no longer a distant word for Lu Banxin, she even thought, it is better to die like this, no matter what the sword, the gatekeeper has forgotten everything, walked across the Nai He Bridge and drank Meng Po soup, make a tree and a drop of water in the next life, even if there is no afterlife.
But at the same time, she thought of her father.
In order to protect himself, his father would rather be eaten away by the, and would rather hurt himself than protect her, if he is gone, what should he do when his father completely loses his mind?
Grandpa is gone, and the Lu family is left with only their father and daughter, no matter what, even if she is facing a task that cannot be completed at all, she has to protect her father and find back the blood and family relationship that belongs to their father and daughter.
Lu Banxin retracted his gaze, looked at the corridor opposite the elevator, gritted his teeth and walked in.
The road is not wide, only enough for two people to walk side by side, and after walking for a while, I saw a small door open on the side of the wall, and I could vaguely hear a strange sound coming from inside, it seemed to be the sound of the wind, Lu Banxin hesitated a little and pushed the door and walked in.
Inside, however, it was still a natural cave, and a huge stalactite overhead had been transformed into a lamppost, and the snow-white light illuminated the entire space, and under the light stood a shirtless boy, about twenty years old.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the boy's expression seemed to become a little irritable, but when he looked at Shanglu half-heartedly, he quickly suppressed the irritability under his eyes, and his dark cheeks were even more curious.
Lu Banxin didn't expect to meet a boy who didn't wear a shirt, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly turned his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went the wrong way." ”
After saying that, she was about to close the door and leave, but the boy quickly stopped her.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Lu was stunned, looked at the door and said nervously, "You...... Are you talking to me? ”
The boy smiled: "Could it be that there is anyone else here besides us?" ”
Lu Banxin hesitated for a moment and said, "No, um...... But can you put on your clothes first, I'm not used to talking to people with the back of my head. ”
"Okay, you wait for me for a while." The boy hurriedly put on a short-sleeved shirt, walked behind Lu Banxin, and said, "Okay." ”
Lu Banxin turned his head and found that the boy was next to him, his head was about to hit her face, and he hurriedly took two steps back: "You, what are you doing?" ”
"No, I'm just a little curious."
The boy was tall, his skin was a healthy wheat color, his hair was short, his shoulders were broad, his hips were narrow, and he had a standard model build, but his face was still a little childish.
Lu Banxin looked at him several times and asked, "What are you curious about?" ”
"Curious about your identity." The boy propped up the door frame with his hand, stared at Lu Banxin without blinking, and said, "There has been no girl in Qianfu Mountain for many years. ”
"Shallow Floating Mountain? Are you saying this is the shallow floating mountain? Lu Banxin said in surprise.
The boy tilted his head, his expression a little more confused.
"Uh...... You don't know about the shallow floating mountain? ”
Lu Banxin shook his head, suddenly remembered that he had just seen these three words on the brass plate, and nodded hurriedly.
The boy was made to laugh and cry by her, and asked, "You nodded and shook your head, do you know or not?" ”
"Now I know."
Lu Banxin blinked his eyes and said innocently.
The boy's expression changed slightly, and he continued to ask, "Are you an awakened person or a gatekeeper?" ”
"Neither."
Hearing this answer, the boy took several steps back, and he stared at Lu Banxin with wide eyes, his expression was like a fool.
"That ...... So how did you get in? ”
"I don't know, but I'm getting ready to go out now."
"Don't know?" The boy suddenly became serious and asked coldly, "What's your name and where are you from?" ”
Lu Banxin saw that his attitude had changed, and he seemed to be wary of himself, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Lu Banxin, and I am from Sifang Alley." ”
The boy was stunned for a moment, looked Lu half of his heart up and down, and a shocked expression quickly welled up on his cheeks.
"You are Lu Banxin? Hello, my name is White Wing. ”
