Chapter 34: Lime
Dong Tian grinned at me. "Brother, it's really fucking weird, where do you say the bees are in this ancient tomb? This buzzing ......."
Before Dong Tian's words were finished, Su Xiao's mournful voice came from behind me, "Awen, hurry, come here, they are here again, hurry!" ”
At the same time, the buzzing sound in my ears grew louder and louder, and suddenly, for the first time in the distance, a deep red appeared.
Red light, coming from all over the sky, pierced through the darkness.
"I'll go, this is ......" Dong Tian opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene not far away, the red points of light coming from the sky were shining in the darkness, like countless eyes, piercing the barrier of darkness.
But there was no light in my eyes, and all I saw was despair.
"Let's go, quick!" My face was pale, and as soon as I picked up Dong Tian, I walked towards Su Xiao. The buzz behind me is getting closer and closer, and it makes me feel terrified. I don't know what that thing is, though. But I'm sure it's definitely not a bee, it's something scary. On the one hand, this comes from my feelings, and on the other hand, it is Su Xiao's call to me.
I believe in her as much as I believe in myself.
"Quick, Arwen, quick!" Su Xiao's voice was heartbreaking, as if I was really a flood beast behind me, and I ran to Su Xiao's side with all my might.
Su Xiao didn't come, but stood there, I saw it in her hand, it was the torch, I was standing in the sand, as a torch for a lighthouse in the dark, but I don't know how it got into her hand.
"Suddenly" the light in front of me became more and more abundant, and I stepped into the circle around Su Xiao, and I saw a white circle around me, I don't know what it was made of.
Just as I entered the circle and relaxed my whole body, I felt a sudden pinprick in my back, and then a sharp pain instantly rushed down my spine and into my head.
"Holy." I cursed, feeling a little black in front of me. He stumbled a few times and fell to the ground.
"Brother, are you alright?" Dong Tian grabbed my shoulders and asked me worriedly.
I looked into his eyes and felt the surroundings start to wander, then it went dark and I fainted.
…….
I don't know how long later, but when I really opened my eyes again, I asked a smell of fragrance in my mouth, as if something was roasting.
"Arwen, are you awake?" I looked up, Su Xiao was by my side, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, his face was haggard, and I felt distressed for a while, damn it, hey.
"Brother woke up? Come, grab a bite to eat, just eat something. At this time, I heard Dong Tian's voice, and then I saw him dragging one leg over, his face was pale, but he was very excited to see that I woke up.
As he spoke, he handed me something, and I don't know what it was, but he hung it on the crossbow arrow, exuding a burst of fragrance, and I felt my stomach growling, and I was not polite, so I took it and swallowed it.
"What's this?" After I finished eating, I took a few puffs of mouth, and it felt very fragrant, so I asked Dong Tianzhi unsatisfied.
"Corpses!" Dong Tian looked at me and smiled.
"Huh?" Hearing him say this, I immediately remembered the stinky corpse of the iron head, could it be .......that I couldn't hold back any longer, opened my mouth wide and began to retch, and vomited what I had just eaten in a few strokes.
"Damn, you're going to give me this?" I stared at Dong Tianqiao with burning eyes.
"Brother, what is this thing, I finally hit one, so I ate it for you, you say that about me?" Dong Tian looked at me with an aggrieved expression.
"Wait, hit? What the hell is this? I hesitated for a moment, and when I heard Dong Tian say this, I asked suspiciously.
"What else can it be, insects, it's very difficult to fight, and I'll get a few of them in total." Dong Tian pursed his lips, obviously depressed.
"What bugs?" I asked, puzzled.
"It's the kind of insect that's about the same as a bee, it's really fucking big, I don't know what to eat and look like that, it's fierce, damn it, you look at the back, and suddenly get you such a big scar, it's really ruthless."
I don't know what Dong Tian is talking about.
Bugs, is that the sound I heard before I fell unconscious? That buzzing red glow?
"Isn't that the red thing?"
"Yes, it's the last thing we saw, I don't know where it came from, the moment you came into this circle, you were grabbed on the back, this time it's a piece of meat, I looked at it in a panic, I didn't expect your kid to wake up, it's really life-damning, I'll wipe it, wake up well, wake up."
"What kind of bug is that?" I asked puzzled, where did this strange bug come from in this closed place.
"I'm afraid it's not a bug." Su Xiao watched me wake up, his face became a little ruddy, and when I asked, Su Xiao took my mouth.
"Not bugs? Su Xiao, you also saw it, why isn't that thing a bug? The wings, the locust-like appearance, are different except that they are a little bigger? Dong Tian obviously disagreed with Su Xiao's statement.
"That thing seems to be a legendary thing." Su Xiao hesitated, and finally opened his mouth.
"Legends?" Hearing Su Xiao say this, Dong Tian and I stopped talking, we all know that Su Xiao knows a lot of things. And to hear her say that, it must be a little sure.
"Yes, the sir, it should be called the sitting." Su Xiao's tone was affirmative.
"Could it be that it's really not a bug? What is Rest? Dong Tian asked Su Xiao with a puzzled face, don't talk about Dong Tian, even I have never heard of such a thing, what is Xiyang.
"It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that Yu used to breathe the soil and annihilate the flood. This resting soil, it is rumored to be the remains of the previous Dayu water control, but there is also a saying in the Xuanmen that the heavens make up for the sky and stop the fire of the earth with the resting soil. Legend has it that this earth is the yin fire between heaven and earth. Su Xiao's voice was a little fluctuating, which made me feel that the surroundings were faint and scary.
"The Yin Fire of All Things? I said, that thing flickered in the dark, just like a small flame, but it was too ugly and scary. Dong Tian pondered for a moment, thoughtfully.
"Is it really Xiyang?" I asked Su Xiao uncertainly. Su Xiao didn't speak, but nodded.
Looking at her expression, I knew that things were not far away, and that should be all there was to it.
"Arwen, is your wound healing?" Su Xiao suddenly asked me worriedly. I nodded, indicating that I was fine, in fact, when I woke up, I found that I had a little itch on my back, and then I secretly touched it myself, and there was a scar, but it was already healed.
I've become accustomed to all this, and this kind of thing has been happening since I changed my life, and it seems that my injuries can heal quickly. I don't know how this is, but it has allowed me to live longer than others, and I have come to terms with this physical change.
I slowly felt that all this came from the pattern of the white jade unicorn in my palm that no one else could see, and even more from what my father left me. It's just that I haven't figured out the connections and clues in these things yet, and I'm in a mess in my head.
"That's right, White Jade Qilin." I suddenly remembered this, I remember that this thing was taken away by Dong Tian, but I didn't see it when I rescued him, he said that he was snatched away by Tietou, but he didn't see it when Tietou died.
"Brother Dong, where did you say that the iron head robbed you of the white jade unicorn? And who instructed all this? I suddenly raised my head and asked Dong Tian.
Dong Tian was stunned, and Su Xiao also looked at me puzzled, and asked me what iron head I was.
I told Su Xiao what happened earlier, and Su Xiao opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it. I smiled bitterly, don't say that Su Xiao can't believe it, even I can't believe that there is such a thing in this world.
"Yes, I fainted when he snatched it away, why didn't we see him when we met him again?" Dong Tian looked at me in surprise.
Hearing him say this, a flash of inspiration flashed in my heart, could it be that the white jade unicorn has some key role here. But after thinking about it for a long time, I can't figure it out, what's going on?
"It's really hard to imagine that the iron head has turned into a black-haired armorer. And when you die, you will attack people. Su Xiao's voice was full of helplessness, obviously still thinking about what happened to me and Dong Tian.
"By the way, Su Xiao, what happened to you? I remember listening to your voice before I fell unconscious, and I guess I had met those weird bugs that you said before? "I suddenly remembered the scene from earlier.
"Yes, I did, just before you came, I tried to find you in the dark, but I ran into those guys, they kept chasing me, and luckily I found this torch, and it didn't go out, and when I got to this torch, the guys retreated." Su Xiao told me about what happened to her.
I thought about it, and I guess I heard Su Xiao's screams before when I met those resting soils.
"Hey, why don't those guys come in and attack us?" Dong Tian suddenly asked.
"This is simple, I think since they are the yin fire between heaven and earth, and the burning torch is the yang fire, they are naturally afraid, am I right, Su Xiao?" I thought about it and asked Su Xiao.
Su Xiao nodded.
I then asked Su Xiao, "Is the white circle around us lime?" Su Xiao told me yes.
"You didn't make it?" I suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked Su Xiao with some excitement.
"Yes, when I came, the torches were already here, and the lime circle was already there, I don't know ........! You mean? Su Xiao covered her mouth all of a sudden, and looked at me with blinking eyes.
"What are you two talking about, why am I confused?" Dong Tian touched his head and looked at me and Su Xiao strangely, in his opinion, the two of us were playing dumb riddles.
"Brother Dong, think about it, lime, where did the lime come from." I smiled and asked Dong Tian.
"Lime, lime, could it be ....... Liu Er?" Dong Tian obviously thought of it.
"Yes, the lime is only available in Liu Er, so there is a possibility, before we came, Liu Er defended the soil here, but I don't know why he left." I sighed and looked at the darkness in the distance.
"I just don't know if they're still alive or not." As soon as Dong Tian said this, I suddenly saw a series of footprints not far away under the light of torches, extending into the distance.
