137. Stone tools

Because we are accustomed to seeing things with our eyes, and we are accustomed to judging by what we see, when we are in the dark, our vision is restricted, and we cannot grasp the situation around us, and the ability of human illusion does not exist all the time, so the darkness makes us afraid. At this time, even the slightest cluster of light will make you feel as if you are seeing the light.

So the light around Shadow Moon was extremely faint, not enough to illuminate, but it gave me a sense of stability. It makes me feel that I am not alone in this space, and I hear Sheng Shiyao's voice in my head from time to time. In the case of invisibility, every step is very careful, and in addition to the sound of one's own breathing, the sound of footsteps in the suffocating space is extraordinarily clear. Gradually, I felt a pattern, when the voice of Sheng Shiyao reflected in my brain became faint and even inaudible, it meant that it was far away from his position, and at this time, Shadow Moon would also adjust the direction.

But even if the Shadow Moon has a thousand-year-old spirit, after all, it is a dead thing, and its micro-adjustments are often pointed at the stone wall, which means that it senses the existence of Sheng Shiyao in a straight line. But I don't have Sheng Shiyao's ability to tear apart the cracks, and I'm not a pangolin, so naturally I can't go straight into the stone wall, so, as Sheng Shiyao said, I still have to rely on myself.

After tossing for half an hour, I couldn't help sweating on my forehead, because I found that the more I walked, the more I couldn't hear Sheng Shiyao's voice, which meant that out of his sensing range, the light red light of the shadow moon also became dim. Leaning against the wall and panting, thinking about what to do next, he inexplicably thought of Sheng Shiyao's previous sentence: There is always a time when he is not there. I didn't think that it would come true in just a few minutes, and I couldn't help but be annoyed by Sheng Shiyao, it was really a crow's mouth.

It's not that I'm trying to grind here, it's that when I have no clue and no direction, my heart is already very bottomless, and I don't know if I go any further, and the faint light of the Shadow Moon Blade will disappear, so I can only use other ways to divert my mind. The space around you is too quiet, and you will feel breathless, but if there is a sudden sound, it is called real fright.

Then I did hear something in my ears, not far away, not near, but when I listened closely, it disappeared again. I can't help but start to feel hairy, yes...... Is it a sea monster? Tightly condensed in the darkness, holding my breath, the hand holding Shadow Moon couldn't be tighter, knowing that if there was really a monster in this space, it would be difficult for me and this knife to resist, but I still didn't want to sit still. When the voice came up again, I made a decision, rather than waiting for danger to approach, I should go forward and attack first.

Identify the direction, the source of the sound is on the left, follow the sound, step by step like stepping on the tip of the heart. The sound was very regular, and it would stop for a while, and then it would come again, and when I got closer, I wondered, as if it didn't sound like an animal. And no matter how lightly I walked, there was a slight sound, but the thing didn't come near me, only within my shortening range.

When I went out this time, I must ask Zhou Tong for something similar to a pill that is actually a flashlight, it is too useful at such a critical moment. When I was a few meters away from the object, I stopped, and I couldn't smell the smell of the sea on the tip of my nose, which basically ruled out the possibility of a sea monster...... The sound of stone grinding?

Could it be that there is someone there?

I don't have that good ear, I don't have the ability to discern the breath of space, my eyes are narrowed, my ears are pricked, and I can't see or hear anything. I secretly took a deep breath several times, and stepped again, but when my feet fell, I felt that I stepped on something, I slowly squatted down, pulled the shadow moon down, and illuminated it by its faint light, and when I saw the object I had just stepped on, I couldn't help but be stunned, am I in Aladdin's magic lamp, and whatever I want to wish will come true?

From the shape to the device, the object in front of me looks like the most old-fashioned flashlight. The shell is still made of copper, but it's slightly different from the old style I saw when I was a kid, it doesn't have that big head, a small section in the middle is glossy, and the back is edged with vertical bars near the tail, but strangely it doesn't have switches. I can't help but wonder if this is a flashlight after all.

After hesitating, I decided to pick it up and take a look, and the sound of stone grinding next to my ears still came from time to time, but after listening to this single tone for a long time, I didn't feel that there was a sense of anger, and I was temporarily relieved. It didn't weigh much in my hand, and when I saw the head device in the faint light, I couldn't help but be deflated, there was no light bulb, just a smooth surface made into a cone, somewhat like a mirror, but I was sure it was metal.

I put Shadow Moon on the ground and tried to pull the tail of the copper, which usually has a lid and the battery in it. But this one didn't pull it out after a few pulls, I don't know if it was rusted, or if it didn't close the lid itself, the small arc was just its shape. Finally I tried to spin, but I found that this time I was blinded by it, and I was able to rotate, but after turning, I didn't realize that there was a sliding gear, and it seemed to be idling there.

After many turns in succession, I finally found a clue, the metal of the head faintly came out, and as the number of turns increased, the light became stronger. So, for sure, this is indeed a lighting tool, but it is not a flashlight as I thought, and its principle is to generate heat through friction, which causes the metal of the lamp head to glow. One cannot but admire the wisdom of human beings.

When the light gathered to a certain level of visibility, I stopped turning and my wrist felt sore. Picking up the shadow moon on the ground, he straightened up, and little by little gathered the light to the source of the sound in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked, it was a huge stone tool!

About a meter and a half tall and three meters in diameter, I seemed to have come to a confined space, and there were no more exits except for the road behind me. The whole space seemed to be occupied by the stone tool, it was indeed not my mistake, it turned on its own, but although it was round, it did not look like a stone mill.

The light gradually dimmed, and I quickly rotated again, and after dozens of turns in succession, the light concentration stabilized. This simple lighting tool, let's call it a flashlight, its illumination time is not long, and the range is short, but there is an advantage that it does not need electricity, only manual rotation and friction, otherwise a battery flashlight is equivalent to nothing even if I happen to find it, because the battery inside will not last so long.

I plan to walk around the stone tool to take a look, after all, it is more than three meters wide in diameter, and everything behind it is blocked. But when I moved to the side, I suddenly glanced at my eyes and was frightened, white bones! It's not one, one, two, three...... There are five of them! And they fell by the stone vessels. I didn't dare to move anymore, I don't know what else was behind the stone tools, if there were more white bones, or if there were dangerous things hidden.

Looking at the automatic stone tool again, I couldn't help but feel timid, and faintly felt that that thing was full of evil energy.

Just when the stone tool stopped working, I heard a sharp voice in my ears, this voice is very familiar to me, Wong Tai Sin and Aunt Mei have used it on me, it is a soul sound. The shadow moon in his hand suddenly had a sense, and the scorching heat was abnormal, it was Sheng Shiyao!

Huang Daxian's soul technique and what Aunt Mei learned originated from Huang Xingyuan's secret technique, and the original cultivator of this secret technique was Wizard Yao, so Sheng Shiyao would definitely have that soul sound at this time. But I don't know how to go to him, do I go back the way I came? But Shadow Moon felt very strong this time, pointing directly at the uneven stone wall, and even dragged me towards that stone wall, and when I came to it, Shadow Moon came out of her hand, pierced straight into the stone wall, and then cut a crack from top to bottom.

In an instant, the crack seemed to be broken open by an invisible hand, and when it was a foot wide, a figure suddenly emerged from within, and I was so frightened that I took several steps back, and then the shadow moon fell to the ground with a clatter. When I saw the person coming, I flew over in surprise, "Why are you!" "It was Sheng Shiyao who came out of the crack!

He caught my body steadily, swept me through with black eyes, and then said with a slight anger: "I told you to stop where you are before, why didn't you listen?" I froze, "Didn't you tell me to follow the direction Shadow Moon was pointing to?" Then your voice fades away. ”

He frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "You tell me all about what happened after entering the cave." I followed what I said, and when he had heard what I had said, he fixed his eyes on the stone tools and the bones on the ground, and for a long time muttered to himself, "That is so." ”

I couldn't help but ask him, "What is it?" What's going on here? Was Zhou Tong's whistle true or false before, and was there anything wrong with him? Sheng Shiyao replied: "The whistle is true, he fell into a deep pit dozens of meters into the hole, and wanted to call us, but he was stifled by the invisible magnetic field, and he could only use the whistle to transmit the message." When I rescued him, I noticed that the spatial magnetic field was wrong, and then I returned to the entrance of the cave and found that you were gone, and after confirming that you did not leave the entrance of the cave and left, there was only one possibility, that is, there was a rift in the cave, and we walked at a different level of space with you. ”

"But I obviously went in after you, and the time was only a minute or two."

"It was that minute or two, because of my walk-in, changed the medium of space, so that when you entered again, you walked into a different rift. And this magnetic field is very evil, it can actually distort the message I transmitted to you through the shadow moon, originally you didn't walk deep, there must not be much distance from the entrance of the cave, just stay where you are, I can find you. But an invisible magnetic force changes your brain waves, causing the information in your brain to be reversed, which means that this evil force is deliberately pulling you here. ”

Hearing this, I fixed my eyes on the huge stone tool and asked, "Could it be it?" But isn't it just a stone? ”

"That's it." Sheng Shiyao said indifferently, "This is not an ordinary stone tool, but an altar. ”
