Chapter 54: The Butterfly in the Robe

I was still pondering this as night fell, and I never saw her again after she rolled over the wall, even when we were all brought down by the vine.

The light here is not sunlight, and I looked up and looked closely, and there was no sun even at the height of the light. But there is a difference between morning and dusk, and by seven o'clock the light will slowly fade for half an hour, and then disappear.

The darkness here is very pure, even the sand river that is as bright as a starry night overhead is hidden in the darkness, there are no stars and no moon, only a few jade trees at the edge of the woods, glowing with a bright light.

The light casts intricate shadows on the ground through the intricately carved walls and roofs. I couldn't sleep, staring at the shadows, but I recognized a lot of things.

Almost all the mythical beasts and monsters I have seen and heard can be found in it, they hover over the walls and roofs, weaving all kinds of plots and stories, of course, this can only be a concoction of my sleepless night, it should not be true.

Suddenly, it seemed that people and Gejia also appeared on it, fighting, slaughtering, monstrous blood......

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside!

Lu Yan and the others turned over all of a sudden, first to look at me, and then to look out the window.

I sat there and didn't move, I heard the sound just now, although it was not big, but the rich ups and downs in it made me can't help but imagine a thick leg walking among the trees, inadvertently hanging down a huge tree!

Naturally, the legs do not pass through the woods alone......

Liu got up, touched the corner of the wall with his four feet like a ghost, and carefully looked out through the gaps in the openwork on the wall.

I knew he wouldn't see anything, and on a night like this, those jade trees were the best barriers, and human eyes couldn't see through them.

Liu Dongxi should know this, he just wants to take a look, at least to determine a safe distance.

I stared at his figure in the corner looking out, and I was very nervous. The legendary palace received us with a serene and serene attitude, only to show its fangs when it went deeper into the hinterland. I believe that this place has a very direct relationship with the Jianmu in the sinkhole, and the monsters I have seen before are beginning to appear in my mind one by one, and I can't say what kind of terrifying posture they will become here.

Liu Shixi turned his head and shook his head slightly, but did not come back but stopped in place.

Lu Yan and Hua Qu glanced at each other, and actually lay down again.

The sound from earlier never came back to the way it had been.

Liu Dongxi gestured at me, this is the code we once agreed, which means to stay as it is and pay attention to vigilance. I nodded, leaning my back against the wall.

There's something wrong with the wall behind it!

My whole back stiffened all at once, and a bulge suddenly appeared on the wall that had been completely flat, right on my spine!

What is it? The sweat came down all at once, I remember clearly, this wall is full of carved patterns, very embarrassing, I moved for a long time to find such a flat place, how can this time of effort to get an extra piece?

If it weren't for the fact that the wall could be moved, something must be poking me outside.

A picture suddenly appeared in my mind, in the chaotic light and shadow, a thing with an unclear shape was half-crouching outside the wall, and the poisonous needle on the head of the tail was pressed against my back through the gap in the wall!

I didn't dare to act rashly, so I gently picked up the fixed light sword that I placed beside me, and looked for a gap that I could pierce out from behind.

Something that was on my spine suddenly began to move, as if it was writing on my back!

The Fixing Light Sword was still looking for an exit, and at the same time, I was carefully studying the words on my back.

"Come on!!"

The bulge actually had a word written on my back. Holding back the shock in my heart, I reached back and grabbed the thing.

It was a finger, delicate and silky to the touch, with a hint of coldness.

It's a flaw! My heart moved, E's appearance was already very human-like, but the body temperature still had the characteristics of Gejia, the torso was hot, and the limbs were cold.

Come, where to go?

Fingers gently hooked in my palm, I knew that it would not hurt me, if I wanted to go, there must be something to tell me, and it just so happened that I also had a lot of things to ask her.

She must have made the sound outside, too, to determine my location.

Quietly getting up, it seemed that only Liu Dongxi noticed my movements, and made a gesture to ask me what I was going to do.

I told him I wanted to go to the toilet and walked out gently.

The moment I went out, I felt that Lu Yan seemed to move, rolled over, and fell asleep again.

He stood in the shadow of the building, his red robe wrapped tightly like a red mushroom waiting to be released......

Seeing me, she didn't speak first, turned and walked into the darkness.

I held the Fixing Light Sword in my hand and followed her closely, and under my feet was the white jade ground overgrown with wild grass, and there was still a very conspicuous glow of white in the dark night.

There was a turning point in the building not far ahead, and it turned a corner and disappeared.

Without hesitation, I turned around, and here there was a flat field, like a whole piece of jade, without a trace of weeds on it, clean as some kind of egg shell.

Emasa was standing in the middle of the flat ground.

I stepped forward, and realized how apt the previous analogy was, that the ground was not a flat surface as I had seen, but an arc, really like the surface of a giant egg buried in the ground.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"You don't want to know where I went?" Ea asked me rhetorically.

I don't know how she suddenly asked the question that only boring women in third-rate romance dramas would ask, but it can only be said that art comes from life.

"You go inside......" I said, pointing to the high wall not far away.

I was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Yes, I went inside, and I know something......"

"What's that?" I asked.

"These things have something to do with you!"

After saying a word, he suddenly shook off the lama's robe wrapped around his body and spread it on the ground.

My eyes were immediately drawn to the contents of the lama's robe, and under the fluorescence of the jade tree, it was an extremely complex painting.

The colors of the paintings are extremely intense, with a strong Tibetan style. The government is divided into about 16 small maps, which seem to record a complete story.

"What is this?" I was surprised.

"This is what I found in Gejia Monastery, and the painting on it tells a story!" Quietly said, "A story about you!" ”

"What's the story?"

"See for yourself!" He closed his mouth and stopped talking, and sat cross-legged to the side.

I turned on the flashlight and looked closely at the painting.

The order of the drawings should be from the top left, in the same order as we are used to.

The first painting shows a palace in the air, and not far away is a fire on a mountain, which seems to be a volcano.

The second one shows that the palace has fallen to the ground, and there are several lying people below, and there are more black dots not far away that seem to represent more dead people.

The third is a human face with a horizontal cut along the eyes, and the long hair is pulled back, as if deliberately showing a terrible scar.

The fourth depicts a strange-looking man standing next to the palace, holding something in his hand, as if he was handing something to a person.

The fifth is a man standing on a platform, dying, with a blood-red patch and a few creatures that can't tell what they are.

The sixth is the strange creature standing in the middle of the crowd, scorched black in the back......

It's scorched!

I don't know when it began, this ancient painting stuck to the inside of the lama's robe began to turn yellow and black, slowly cracking and curling, like a black butterfly parked in the robe!

I'm not in a hurry, I look up and look at E, it doesn't matter what is painted on this painting, Eden comes to me in the middle of the night, and what he wants to tell me is the point.

"You shouldn't shine with a flashlight, you can see ...... with these lights," he said, "and that's how you are, relying too much on the tools in your hands, hurting the world and degrading yourself." ”

I was a little annoyed when I heard this, and although I had to admit that she was right, I still didn't want to admit it. At least in my opinion, this is not a shortcoming that cannot be corrected, but in E's opinion, it is one of the reasons why they will replace us.

"What's on it?" I suppressed the irritability in my heart and asked.

He glanced at me and looked into the distance, as if he was brewing emotions. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "This palace came from the sky, it fell next to the volcano, and from inside came out of it, and humans built cities around it, but then something happened, and humans began to die en masse, and someone in the palace took out some kind of medicine to cure them. But this kind of thing continues, and that kind of medicine is starting to run out. Later, he began to kill people and make medicine, using this medicine to heal more people. ”

She said this, looked at me again before continuing: "The surviving people have become monsters, and after I don't know how many years, the monsters have gradually become human-like, but they have the ability to fly...... Then came death, and then murder......"

"There are people who are willing to save the world from suffering anymore, and mix their own blood with the fruit of the tree of immortality, and make the elixir with the water of the elixir. Humans can avoid the disaster after taking it, but they become less and less viable, and the final disaster brings the final death, but fortunately, the people on the tree have preserved the earliest elixir, and the humans have used them to survive and continue to reproduce......"

His eyes were ethereal, and he didn't know where to look again, and it took a long time before he asked me, "Si'an, do you think this story is good?" ”

"I've heard this story." I listened to her and came to my senses, "It's a little better than this." ”

"But it's the story that's the most complete." Ea said.

"Yes, but what's the point of telling this story?"

"Two meanings. The first meaning is that even if you try to save humanity against us, it will be in vain in the end. The world is changing, and even you are speeding up the changes in the world, but if you don't change, the final result can only be the same as in the story, you can't solve it for a while, and your efforts will be in vain! And the second meaning," he said, clasped his hands together and turned his head to look at me, "you will die!" ”
