Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Huts Under the Trees
I feel like I've asked a very idiotic question, and it's a time-consuming task to verify the matter of eternal life. If Liu Ranqing really wants to verify it seriously, it will be considered a just beginning.
It is understandable that Liu Shishi hid this matter from me, after all, after I have experienced so many strange things, I still feel that this matter is beyond my imagination, I can't explain it, and it's not easy to accept. If he had told me that we were here to find the elixir of immortality, I would have been mad for him. In fact, at this time, I didn't believe that it was the elixir, but I just accepted his statement, as for what to find, I didn't care, I just wanted to find a clue to get out quickly.
At this point, my trust in Liu is completely gone, the ghost knows that he came to find this medicine for himself or to save his father, he said that he didn't dare to believe me, it was just that he was afraid that I would kill him and swallow the so-called elixir alone, I decided not to pay attention to this matter, beware of him, and asked casually: "So do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
Liu Dongxi said: "I don't know, and I haven't mentioned it in the notes, but I think this should be a relic of ancient times!" I don't know why it has been preserved to this day, because the monsters we encountered before are all legendary beasts! ”
I don't know when Liu Dongxi refers to the ancients, but I feel that things are becoming more and more ridiculous, I walked a short distance of dozens of miles in the belly of the mountain to come to such a mythical world? Those legendary beasts have been beaten and even eaten by me. It seems that the dragon that I have always refused to believe is also real. And after that, we have to obtain the elixir that can make people live forever, and from now on, we will live with heaven and earth, and become immortals. It's a movie, right?
I don't want to ask anything more, I just want to quickly find a clue to get out of this crazy place.
At this moment, the platform with the huge green trees is only 100 meters away from us, and it only takes a simple step to glide through the air. I looked at Liu Dongxi, and the trust I had built up suddenly collapsed at this moment, leaving me at a loss for how to continue.
I'm not a person who can't tolerate people, although Liu Dongxi's hiding is too shocking, but he doesn't have any thoughts against me. But I just can't have that unreserved trust in a prisoner. It can be seen that this kind of social role and social relationship really has its overwhelming power, extending its influence from human society all the way to this mythical world.
It was Liu Dongxi who interrupted the silence, "Brother An, this matter is indeed something I did not be authentic, but I have my own difficulties. I know you're not interested in this, but we can't just break up here in this situation! He pointed to the stone pier at his feet, "The good thing we said before is still valid, you were dragged into the water by me in this matter, if there is any danger, I will do my best to keep you out!" ”
I saw that he was a little excited, and I thought to myself, Lao Tzu is not upset, what are you calling? I couldn't bear it, and said loudly: "I don't need you to protect it, you go and get your elixir, I'll find my way, no one cares about anyone, if you dare to run after you go out, I will try my best to catch you back!" ”
As soon as I said this, I regretted it a little, I had to stabilize Liu things before, and after working hard for so long, this sentence was broken.
Liu Dongxi saw that I was tough, and probably knew that it would be difficult to ease the relationship for a while, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, I will naturally surrender to you when I go out, you can rest assured." ”
Hearing this sentence, I was immediately compared, I felt a little ashamed, and said in my heart that this kid is well-cultivated, how can you say that I am a people's policeman who can let a prisoner be compared. I looked at the tree and said to Liu Dongxi: "Since you still have to have one, let's leave quickly, now that the supplies are cut off, no one can afford to delay the time." ”
Liu Dongxi nodded in agreement, walked to the edge to see the direction and kicked it, and the two flew out one after the other.
This process reminds me of the scene of the docking of the fighter plane and the mothership in the sci-fi movie, the huge platform is diagonally above us, the background is the boundless darkness and floating large and small platforms, as we approach, the huge tree that seems to glow slowly appears in the field of vision, and the whole picture is full of epic. I was a little thrilled to think that I was now in the midst of a miracle thousands of years ago, and that the greatest secret of human history, the oldest dream of mankind, might be confessed before my eyes, but I was afraid that this kind of display would not make that kind of historical fantasy die.
Anyway, my feet had stepped on the edge of the platform, and the huge tree stood in front of me, and I didn't feel it when I looked at it outside, but when I stood on the platform, I found that this tree was so huge, it looked like it was not inferior to the kind of high-rise houses with more than 20 floors, one ladder and ten households, and the huge canopy covered a wide area, which looked like the height of the tree. All the branches and leaves of the tree trunk are turquoise and transparent, as if carved from a whole piece of jadeite, and the trunk is stained with black-gray aging bark, which will not be peeled off but will deepen this transparent feeling. The tree unjustifiably pierces through the white rocks, full of moist life.
Standing in front of this tree, I truly believed that this was the place where the legends could have existed. If the elixir of "eternal life" really exists, then it can only exist here.
I was still admiring, Liu Dongxi had already moved forward, the tree was so shocking that I ignored the others, and then I realized that under the tree was a large piece of broken ruins, and in front of me there was a path that led to the bottom of the tree. I saw Liu Shixi look back at me, turned to the left and disappeared behind a short wall. I hurried to catch up, and there were many white stone chips scattered on the path, which creaked when I stepped on them.
The road is not too long, passing through countless ruins and broken strange sculptures along the way, at the end of the road is a small square square, with grass houses built on three sides, Liu Dongxi turned around and asked me: "Brother An, it should be here, will you go in with me?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and casually responded, "Of course go in!" ”
Liu Dongxi nodded and said, "Okay, Angolao, you take care of it more!" ”
I listened to what he said, so I casually agreed and held the Dingguang Sword in my hand.
The thatched hut in front of me only has three doors in each of the three directions, it should be only three, with white stone as the wall, thatched woven into the roof, I don't know what kind of alien species there is no sign of decay.
I asked Liu Shixi, "Which house to go to first?" ”
Liu Shixi stretched out his finger and pointed to the cigarette holder on the room, and said without hesitation: "Find the right master first!" ”
I looked in the direction pointed by Liu Dongxi, and behind the chimney on the roof of the grass house, a green eyeball stretched out!
