Chapter 47: The Final Meeting
Hu Qianqiu had been staring ahead, but when he was suddenly patted on the back, he was naturally startled, turned his head suddenly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's you."
It was not someone who patted Hu Qianqiu's back, it was Song Xiao.
Hu Qianqiu ran straight up before, but it ended up behind Song Xiao, this time Song Xiao ran down, but he didn't expect to come back from below, Hu Qianqiu didn't expect it, and was naturally a little stunned.
Hu Qianqiu looked at the stairs behind Song Xiao and asked, "Why did you come back from behind?" It can't be halfway through the run, right? ”
"How is that possible! I don't know what's going on, I used to keep going down, but as I walked, the stairs became up, and I walked up for a while, and then I saw you. ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "I see." ”
"What now?"
Hu Qianqiu held his left hand weakly, the first knuckle of his index finger was against his lower lip, thought for a while, and said: "Originally, I thought that this staircase was a ring connected up and down, so I walked up and down, and finally it would appear from behind you, but just now you went down, and finally the staircase was twisted upward, so it seems that the trap set by the ghost-faced man is not so simple." ”
Song Xiao couldn't help but complain: "Even if it's simple, we can't get out." ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled helplessly, pondering against the wall behind him, but as soon as his back touched the wall, a strange feeling came out of his heart, this wall was too soft.
Hu Qianqiu turned around, stretched out his hand and pressed the wall hard, but the entire wall immediately caved in, Song Xiao was shocked when he saw it on the side, but before he could ask a question, something that shocked him even more happened.
One of Hu Qianqiu's arms sank directly into the wall, which was supposed to be extremely strong, but at this time it was like water.
Hu Qianqiu shook his arm, it didn't feel like he was stuck in something, and there seemed to be air around his arm.
Hu Qianqiu was surprised in his heart, took a sharp breath, and drilled his entire head into the wall.
What caught Hu Qianqiu's eyes was Song Xiao's shaking buttocks, as well as his own half-cut body.
"Holy!"
Song Xiao heard Hu Qianqiu's voice, turned his head to look, and was almost frightened.
The back half of Hu Qianqiu's body was outside the wall on the left, while Hu Qianqiu's head protruded from the wall on the right.
Hu Qianqiu pulled his head back, although he was shocked in his heart, he quickly calmed down, put his left hand into the wall, and at the same time turned his head to look at the wall on the right, only to see a slender arm stretching out from the wall on the right.
As soon as Hu Qianqiu's mind moved, the hand made a movement with Hu Qianqiu's control.
Even Hu Qianqiu, who has always been calm, feels a little weird and infiltrating in this situation.
Hu Qianqiu put his hand back, looked at Song Xiao and smiled, "Do you want to try it?" ”
Song Xiao immediately shook his head, his head shaking like a rattle, "I don't want to see my ass, I can't sleep at night." ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled, "Don't worry, your ass is not so disgusting." ”
Song Xiao glanced at Hu Qianqiu, a little surprised, "Why can you still laugh now?" ”
Hu Qianqiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Anyway, I'm trapped here, my face is sleepy, and I'm also trapped when I smile, it's better to smile, I can't say that I'm in a better mood and can come up with a way to get out of trouble." ”
"Did you come up with it?"
Hu Qianqiu did not answer directly, but walked to the wall on the right, first touched it tentatively with his hand, and then stretched his right hand into the wall, but Hu Qianqiu's right hand did not come out of the wall on the left, but came out from the place in front of Hu Qianqiu.
Hu Qianqiu withdrew his hand and took a deep breath.
"Judging from the situation just now, the space here is distorted, but it's not simply a left connection to the right, up and down, although I don't know what the specific situation is, but at least it can be determined to be a closed space, do you remember when we stepped on the stairs before?"
Song Xiao nodded, "At that time, I felt a little strange, as if I had passed through a layer of something. ”
"You don't know if you haven't tried, but the feeling is the same as when I just put my hand across the wall."
Song Xiao was stunned.
"From the moment we stepped up the stairs, we entered this space, and it was like an enchantment, we could only enter and not leave."
"What then, we're trapped here?"
"Since it's an enchantment, there must be a way to crack it."
Song Xiao glanced at Hu Qianqiu, "You have achieved nothing in your cultivation, how can you break this enchantment?" ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled, not caring about Song Xiao's direct speech, "I can't, but you can." ”
"Me?" Song Xiao was puzzled, "Don't tease, I have a few catties and taels, don't I know myself?" ”
"You kid has been practicing for so long, you should be able to draw a talisman."
Song Xiao scratched his head in disdain, "It's not impossible." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "That's fine." With that, he took out a stack of yellow paper from his pocket, a small box of cinnabar mixed with water, and a slender brush.
"My good boy, you kid is quite prepared."
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, do you really think I haven't done anything to prepare?"
Song Xiao was surprised, and said, "In that case, why don't you let me draw a few before you come here, and save me the trouble now." ”
Hu Qianqiu sneered, "You kid has been resting for most of the day before drawing half of the talismans, and when you draw a few of them, the typhoon has passed, and I don't know what trouble will be encountered, it is better to bring good materials, adapt to the situation, and draw the applicable talismans on the spot simply and directly." ”
Song Xiao nodded, "It makes sense." Immediately, he said: "However, I don't know how to draw the talisman that breaks the enchantment." ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't draw, I will." ”
Although Hu Qianqiu has made extremely slow progress in his cultivation, he has read a lot of relevant books, and he has an excellent memory, and he can remember several kinds of talismans just for breaking the enchantment.
Hu Qianqiu squatted on the ground, first dipped a brush in cinnabar to draw a charm on the yellow paper, and then handed it to Song Xiao to copy, Hu Qianqiu did not need to consume true qi to draw a talisman, so although it was simple, the talisman was also equivalent to a piece of waste paper, and it had no effect at all.
Song Xiao looked at the talisman written by Hu Qianqiu, the ornamentation on this talisman was quite simple, Song Xiao couldn't help frowning, "Can this be useful?" ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "This is the simplest of the several runes that break the enchantment, the name is the boundary breaking talisman, although it is simple, but it is very practical, no matter how complex the talisman is, you can't draw it at all now." Don't worry, since the Ghostface Man deliberately revealed his location, he must be hoping that we can find him, this barrier is just a simple test, and it won't be too difficult to crack. ”
Song Xiao was suspicious, dipped the pen in some cinnabar, mobilized the true qi in the body, luck at the end of the pen, the tip of the pen slowly fell, and walked slowly on the yellow paper.
To draw a useful talisman, you must have a continuous breath of true qi, otherwise it will just be a waste product, and mobilizing your own true qi to draw a talisman will be disturbed by the surrounding aura, which is extremely laborious, so even if this talisman is not complicated, when Song Xiao is halfway through the painting, the beads of sweat on his forehead are also rolling down.
Hu Qianqiu watched from the sidelines, and he was also quite anxious in his heart, after all, Song Xiao's cultivation had not been more than a month, even if his talent in this area was very high, it was difficult for him to draw a complete talisman in this situation.
But fortunately, Song Xiao did not disappoint Hu Qianqiu in the end, and Song Xiao finally finished the last stroke a few minutes later.
Song Xiao wiped his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Damn, I'm tired to death." ”
Hu Qianqiu picked up the talisman and comforted him, "It's hard work." ”
The boundary breaking charm is different from other runes, there is no need for additional true qi to urge, it only needs to be pasted at the enchantment, Hu Qianqiu pinched the boundary breaking charm with two fingers, and directly pasted it on the wall on the left, waiting for the result tightly.
Song Xiao and Hu Qianqiu looked at the cracking talisman, looking forward to the next changes, but they didn't expect that after waiting for a while, everything would happen.
Just when Song Xiao was about to be disheartened, the boundary breaking charm suddenly flickered, and then there was a ripple, spreading from the wall on the left side to the entire space.
Immediately after, the scene around Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao shattered and collapsed in an instant, and in an instant, everything calmed down.
Hu Qianqiu looked around, he and Song Xiao were standing at the entrance of the first staircase at this time, it turned out that he and Song Xiao had been spinning in place for so long.
"Damn, I was scared to death, I haven't reacted for so long, I thought we were going to die."
Hu Qianqiu explained: "After all, you have not been cultivating for a long time, and your true qi is small and impure, so it is normal for it to work later. ”
Song Xiao nodded, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Hu Qianqiu's shoulder, "In this way, we are really golden partners, you are responsible for planning, I am responsible for action, the world is invincible." ”
Hu Qianqiu shrugged his shoulders and shook Song Xiao's hand off, "Don't get carried away, let's go, there should be no traps now." With that, he rushed to the fourth floor.
Although Song Xiao was still not very relieved, seeing that Hu Qianqiu had already taken action, he had no choice but to follow him closely.
Hu Qianqiu rushed to the fourth floor in a hurry, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he always felt that this place was more gloomy than other floors, but Hu Qianqiu was not afraid, and walked directly into room 421.
Song Xiao used to draw talismans and consumed a lot of physical energy, at this time chasing Hu Qianqiu to the fourth floor was already tired and sweaty, panting, he saw Hu Qianqiu walking towards 421, and just wanted to ask him to wait a little longer, but Hu Qianqiu had already opened the door of the room, and he was quite helpless, so he had to run fast to keep up.
When Song Xiao arrived at the door of room 421, Hu Qianqiu just entered the door, he and Hu Qianqiu entered one after the other, only to see a person cross-legged on the bed in the middle of the room.
The man was completely black, and his pale face had extremely flat features.
The ghost-faced man noticed Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao entering the door, and slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of all-black ghost eyes.
"You're here."
