31. Past
Chen Bing's questioning voice came from his ears: "Little girl, what kind of knife are you?" So sharp? I frowned, didn't answer him directly, just said that it was a better self-defense device, and he didn't ask any more.
To know what's behind the stone wall, the only way to do this is to cut a stone and come down and see. I used the shadow moon to draw a square on the stone wall, and then gently knocked on it, and the stone could be removed, and I touched the thickness with my fingers, about five centimeters thick, and then touched the substance behind the stone, and the touch of my fingertips was very smooth, like metal, and like stone.
I don't know what kind of metal can be so hard that even the shadow moon can't penetrate it, I just know that the hardest stone in the world is diamond, which is commonly known as diamond, if such a big wall is full of diamonds, then what is the value of this? I scratched down the rocks in several places and looked at them, and found that they were all hard objects of that material behind the stone walls.
At this point, I can be sure of one thing, and that is that this place is by no means a trap set by the desert hunters to hunt wild beasts, as Chen Bing just mentioned, because no one would set up a cage just to catch some animals.
It seems that in order to get out of here, you must first figure out what this place is used for.
I sat down against the wall, and with the exploration I had just made, I sketched out the structure of this place in my mind, what exactly could such a funnel device place be used for? Time passed minute by minute, and I never figured out why.
Suddenly remembered that Chen Bing hadn't spoken for a long time, and called softly: "Chen Bing? But no one answered, but my voice echoed, as if I were alone in the whole space. I was taken aback, just now in order to climb up the slope to find a way out, I untied the rope, could it be that he actually found the location of the mechanism, and then pretended to be tired, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of me to sneak away without paying attention?
Hurriedly got up and touched the place where he was sitting just now, and breathed a sigh of relief when he touched the person, but then realized that something was wrong with him, from the original sitting to lying on the ground, and I didn't move when I touched him. His hand reached into his arm, and he found that the temperature of the skin was abnormal, obviously due to physical exhaustion and inflammation of the wound, and he may have suffered a lot of injuries from the fall just now, but he kept gritting his teeth and didn't say anything.
There was no medicine here, not even saliva, and there was nothing that could be done about his situation. I nudged and tried to wake him up, so that the more I slept, the worse it would be, and it was best to hold it on my own will. I heard him whisper, and leaned closer to hear what he was saying, and I was stunned when the three familiar words came.
The next second, I shook him vigorously, shouting as I waved: "Chen Bing, wake up." At last he was so dazed that he turned to him and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong?" I lowered my voice and asked, "Tell me, do you know my grandmother?" Don't deny it, you were calling her name just now. ”
That's right, I clearly heard that Chen Bingyao shouted the word "Cheng Qingping".
"Little girl, you must have misheard." Chen Bingyu didn't admit it, I directly stabbed him on the neck, not polite to him, "Say!" ”
Chen Bing smiled bitterly and sighed: "Why do you have to force it to speak, it was all decades ago." Anyway, before dying, there is no regret about saying those things that have never been humane. "I took it back, knowing that he had decided to tell his relationship with his grandmother.
"I had just turned 30 that year, and my secret art had been a little successful, so my grandfather asked me to go outside to increase my experience. It was that year that I met Cheng Qingping, in order to fight in front of Hongyan, I repeatedly used my skills, birds flying in the air, insects walking underground, all at my mercy like fingertips. I didn't think that Cheng Qingping was a person with a very high level of consciousness, just by looking at it, she learned some simple skills, I saw that she loved the secret art so much, and she was not stingy, so I taught her the secret art that she knew, which is suitable for women to practice, and told her some things about the secret art of the dark demon god Huang Xingyuan.
My intentions were pure, but the demon god was not happy and blamed me for leaking my unique secret art, so he began to punish me. First of all, I had a strange disease, every night I would itch all over my body unbearably, scratching until the skin on my body was broken, but I still couldn't stop the itch, and the eyes in the totem on my body became more and more bright red. Later, Ah Gong sent a letter to me, saying that I must get rid of the people who snooped on the secret arts, so as to eliminate the root of the strange disease. In the turbulent era, it is easy for a person to disappear into the world, and no one will know, but I can't bear to be cruel to the girl I have been with for so long.
Cheng Qingping is an alert and wise woman, she quickly realized that something was wrong with me, and before I could make up my mind, she quietly left, leaving only a letter on the table, with only four words on it: Love breaks the world. I took the letter and did not go to her again, and returned to the ancient town, but that same night, my parents died suddenly on the couch. It was the punishment of the demon god for leaking my secret art and being indecisive, so I swore that I would never leave the ancient town again for the rest of my life, and I would never think of Cheng Qingping again. ”
Chen Bing stopped here, looked at me in the dark, and said: "Decades have passed, almost I have forgotten this name, but I didn't think that Cheng Qingping's granddaughter was found, is this...... It's called providence? ”
"I don't believe in providence or providence, I only believe in cause and effect, there is the cause of your acquaintance with your grandmother in the front, and the result of me coming to you is in the back, if I guessed correctly, you used a pseudonym when you met your grandmother at that time, is it called Huang Xingyuan?" The answer is already very clear, Chen Bing is the Huang Xingyuan in his grandmother's mouth, and obviously Chen Bing did not tell his grandmother, so it seems that he is the same age as his grandmother, but because of the cultivation of Huang Xingyuan, he is much younger than the normal age.
I found that all of Chen Bing's remarks could not be separated from the dark demon god, and the demon god was like a hand in the dark night, manipulating the lives of everyone in the ancient town. As an atheist, I don't believe in any demon gods, and I'm an extremely ugly bat, which is outrageous, but I think it's someone who is manipulating all this in the name of the dark god.
Anyway, he couldn't find a way out for a while, so he put forward his own point of view, and Chen Bing intuitively denied it: "Impossible, the demon god exists, and I have seen the curse and punishment of the demon god with my own eyes, how can it be fake?" My itchy strange disease only gradually got better after returning to the ancient town, just take you to say that Cheng Qingping's strange illness must be the end of being punished by the demon god. Little girl, I used to think that you were Cheng Qingping's granddaughter, and warned you, and even when the centipede came to save me, I saw that you were dragged behind me and didn't let it bite the rope, in order to let you live. Do you know? These quicksand pits were the punishment of the demon gods for the people of the desert, and now they have all died under the sand. ”
There was a boom in my head, something was blown up, and I heard myself yelling: "You are talking nonsense!" ”
Chen Bing said: "According to my observation, the quicksand pit is at least dozens of meters wide, enough to bury all the fine sand nearby, and if it collapses, they will not be able to fly unless they have wings." ”
I don't believe it, not a word. So many people say that the wisdom of the masses is stronger than any other force, especially Sheng Shiyao, who will definitely be able to think of a way to save himself before being submerged in the sand. The nameless anxiety in my heart rose, and I couldn't sit still any longer, so I got up and used the shadow moon to chisel the hard wall, but it had little effect, and the thing was so hard that it couldn't penetrate at all.
It turns out that everything in the world has a nemesis, and no matter how sharp the shadow moon is, there is a material that is constantly cut. All I could do was chisel through the stone part of the wall and not believe that it was really a whole hard wall behind it. In fact, I was correct, and when I chiseled to the left and past ten meters, I noticed that there was something of the same material on the top of my head, which was about the size of a palm. I pressed it hard, and found that it was a little loose, and as soon as Shadow Moon slashed it, it was clear that this piece of material could not block the sharpness of Shadow Moon's blade.
Dig in little by little, digging deeper and deeper, reaching the end of your arm, and if you can't dig again, Shadow Moon won't be able to reach it. Fortunately, I felt that the force surface was suddenly empty, and I actually pierced this hole, and when I looked closely, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see what was on the other side, but there seemed to be a faint wind blowing. That is, the side of the wall is empty, not solid, or sand.
I turned Shadow Moon sideways and reached into it to try to chisel into it, because I thought that if the hard wall was made of diamond, it wouldn't be so thick, and if it was metal, it wouldn't be more than half a meter thick, otherwise it would have taken a lot of work. As I expected, the shadow moon can chisel through the material on the opposite side, so I dug up a piece and took it to study it, and found that it was the same material as the one I had just chiseled, and it was some kind of solid stone.
I continued to dig and chisel without slackening, and secretly said sorry to Shadow Moon in my heart, so the divine soldier was used as a digging tool by me. It's also a shame to have the shadow moon, otherwise you really have to be trapped in this place, and there is no way to survive. When I dug open the hole little by little, I found that the wall that appeared to be made of diamond was actually only as wide as a tiger's mouth, and the back was full of solid stones that could be chiseled.
I took a step back and re-examined the wall, and although I couldn't see anything in the dark, my mind could already delineate its structure, and I gradually understood somewhat what this closed dark room was for. This was supposed to be a place where people were being held, and the hole I had just chiseled was supposed to be an air window, or maybe a passage for people on the other side to pass food, but it was later sealed with a stone bar.
Assuming that the only import to this place is where we came down, how are the workers who built this cell going to get out? It's impossible to trap it in there, and if someone important has ever been locked up here, where has this person gone? Chen Bing and I have just touched all over this place, and we didn't find anyone's bones inside, obviously, this place has a secret passage.
After coming to this conclusion, I immediately told Chen Bing, although I was not the same as him, but in this anxious and trapped situation, any constructive point of view wanted to be recognized by others, so that I would be more confident.
