Volume 3 The Strange Tales of the Women's Courtyard Chapter 141 The Legend of the Sword Pond (23a)
The water-like sparkle crept around us.
It dispels the cold murderous atmosphere, isolates the turbulent mud and dust, and flows like beautiful tears, which is moving.
"Ahem, it turns out ...... Nine Lives is here to come. I murmured.
"This will keep you safe." Tao Tao said lightly, "However, can you still feel the breath of that wandering spirit?" ”
"Hmm." I wasn't sure what he meant, so I just nodded slightly. "Okay, follow you." He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked straight ahead with a look in his eyes, "I want to see what other powerful mechanisms can be found in this tomb."
The faint call rang in my ears again.
"You...... Why are we looking for geistes? I asked as I walked.
"Humph! Don't you want to know what this tomb has to do with that geist? Don't want to know where the bronze swords in those stone chests have gone? I wonder why that geist is familiar with the mechanics here? Tao Tao snorted lightly and used three rhetorical questions in a row.
But he ...... He's just a geist, and he's an amnesiac geist! I retorted weakly.
"The one who can appear here is not an inconsequential little person!" Yun Tengjiao on the side said.
I turned my head to look at him, and the brilliant light of the five-colored beads covered him, so that he also walked beside us calmly.
A wisp of bitterness rose from the bottom of my heart and spread to my whole body.
yes, how can it be "irrelevant" when it appears here?
However, what does this "relevant matter" refer to?
I hung my head and followed the looming call to the unknowable ahead.
I thought I would be able to end the search soon, but after turning one corner after another, I reluctantly abandoned it.
In front of us, it was already the twelfth intersection we had turned.
Unlike in the past, most of the paths that stuck me were immutable, monotonous, and every intersection here was different, with different widths and narrows, different lengths, and even obvious differences in the color and texture of the ground.
So, at first I didn't realize it was wrong.
But again and again, I turned the corner, and there were all kinds of stone walls and forks in the road ahead, as if there was no end to it!
I had to look up and concentrate on discernment.
The thin call of the gossamer is always ahead, neither far nor near, and it is impossible to determine the exact location, but it only guides us forward.
"How? Can you find his place? Yun Tengjiao spoke.
The tone was very calm, and there was no usual mockery.
"I feel...... He's not far ahead, but I can't pinpoint where it is. I answered honestly.
"Is it a labyrinth? Or is it a trick? The gluttonous tone is not good, as if it is very angry.
"Maybe, neither." Yun Tengjiao's eyes flashed with a water color similar to that of the Nine Lives, and he looked at the front seriously, "These stone walls and passages are changing all the time, not like ordinary labyrinths. As for the blinding method, before the five-colored beads and the nine lives, I am afraid that there is nothing to hide. ”
"Change? But I feel more like I'm growing! I said casually.
Four scorching gazes shot in.
"What? Uh, uh, I...... I'm talking about it casually. I took a step back and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, grow!" Tao Tao and Yun Tengjiao glanced at each other.
I saw that both of them had a little joy on their faces, but I was a little dazed.
"Aren't stone walls and passages living creatures still growing? So what are they? ”
"Do you understand the principle of the Tao giving birth to all things?" Yun Tengjiao turned his head and asked me.
"Dao? Do you mean Wuji and Tai Chi? I smiled wryly but nodded, "I only know that the Tao is Wuji, from Wuji comes Taiji, and from Taiji all things are born." ”
"It is easy to have Taiji, the first two rituals, the two rituals give birth to four elephants, and the four elephants give birth to gossip." Gluttony whispered as he scanned the stone wall in front of us.
His eyes were red like torches, and the strange bright red, like a tangible palm brushing coldly on the stone wall.
The thick stone walls also seemed to be sentient, shaking and dodging with the red light.
Sure enough, it looks like a living thing! I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"This is a formation born from Tai Chi? Is it Liangyi? Four elephants? Or gossip? I asked.
"Hehe, that's not a problem." Yun Tengjiao smiled slightly, "As long as you find something to deal with." ”
"What coping with it?" I asked somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Hey, how could you not have guessed?" Yun Tengjiao patted me on the shoulder, "Or are you knowingly asking?" It's not like you're always reckless...... Straightforward character! ”
I was shocked.
The blood-red eyes turned from the stone wall to me, still vivid, but the expression beneath them was so complicated that I couldn't tell whether it was annoyance or sadness.
"Oh, I, I'm a little distracted, so ......" I smiled wryly.
"Long-winded! Get out of the way! Tao Tao shook his hand violently and shouted in a deep voice.
I silently walked away from him.
A black and white Tai Chi pattern rises, slowly grows larger, and then leisurely crosses the top of our heads, and in a flash, disappears into the stone wall......
The space suddenly became silent, and it seemed to be filled with sound, and the pressure increased dramatically.
Countless whirlpools of various sizes are like bottomless black holes that wantonly swallow the stone walls and passages in front of us.
The whirlpools continued to merge and split, everything in front of me was slowly disappearing, including light and shadow, and even in my consciousness there was only the black and white roundness that grew bigger and clearer.
This moment is as long as a hundred years!
"Hey, cousin, what's wrong with you? Scared silly by that gluttonous guy? Feeling Yun Tengjiao coming over, I woke up suddenly, turned my head in a hurry, and wiped it on my face.
The cold droplets of water on my hands irritated my nerves, reminding me that I was far away.
"Hehe, there is no obstruction of the eyes, it is comfortable." Yun Tengjiao's voice sounded very gentle and sincere, "Look, how broad-eyed your eyes are! ”
The stone walls and passages in front of me were gone, replaced by a large and empty square.
The smooth and flat bluestone floor, slightly shimmering with a ghostly light, is unusually cold.
As far as the eye can see, there seems to be no boundary.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth and forced a smile, "Well, another broken mechanism." I wonder if something will jump out of this empty square? ”
"Hmph, if you're hoping for a zombie, I'm afraid you won't be able to!" The gluttony said coldly with his back to me.
"I'm not a celestial master, so I'm not interested in zombies!" I smiled wryly and sighed.
"That's right! How can a normal person like zombies? Yun Tengjiao smiled strangely at the gluttonous back, "Don't worry about it all the time!" ”
Gluttonous turned.
The blood-red eyes seemed to be on fire, and even the top of his head was shining red, and his expression was indescribably strange.
It was a kind of annoyance, anger and embarrassment, mixed with ferocity and violence, which seemed particularly awkward
I stared at him blankly, and in my spurt I couldn't figure out why he was suddenly angry again.
Is it my rebuttal? Or Yun Tengjiao's words? But we're not wrong!
