Chapter 51: On the other side of the stone wall is despair
Several people were silent for a long time, and suddenly Xiang Qingwu stood up, she followed the sound she heard in her ears and gradually walked over, the thin chain seemed to be bolted to a huge weight, it was dragged with difficulty, and the sound became farther and farther away, until it disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Kong Yan got up and asked.
Xiang Qingwu said in a deep voice, "It's ringing again." ”
Kong Yan, "The sound of chains? ”
Xiang Qingwu nodded, "Well, it's gone." ”
"Huh~" Lu Yan suddenly spoke, walked to Xiang Qingwu's side, picked up a black thing from under her feet, frowned and asked, "What is this?" Hair? ”
Kong Yan couldn't see it, so he could only ask Lu Yan, "What does it look like?" ”
Lu Yan held it in his hand and pondered for a long time but didn't figure out a reason, so he had to shake his head and hand it to Kong Yan, pouting and saying, "I don't know, it's a black mess." ”
Kong Yan put the thing in his nose and sniffed it, as if he had guessed what it was, so he asked, "Can you see some gray-white powder around here?" ”
Lu Yan glanced at it, and really found a lot of powder blown away by the wind on the edge of the corner, strangely the amount of these powders was very small, and it seemed to be blown from the other side of the stone wall, "What the hell is going on?" Lu Yan asked strangely.
Xiang Qingwu put her ear close to the stone wall, and the sound of the wind she heard became clearer and clearer, and she guessed, "Maybe someone has fled to the other side, but he was unexpectedly burned to death by the ghost fire, so his ashes were blown by the wind from the other side." ”
Kong Yan nodded in agreement, and the light in his eyes became more firm, "It seems that my guess is not wrong, they did leave from here." ”
Bai Ke immediately interjected, "But since the person died over there, it means that that that there is no more safety over there than here, and maybe there is a greater danger waiting for us over there." ”
"I can't rule out this possibility, but this is the only clue for us to leave the Seven Islands, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, we must break through." Kong Yan clenched the things in his hand with his backhand and said seriously, the shrewdness that flashed in his eyes was just seen clearly by Lu Yan on the other side.
This guy is uneasy and kind, Lu Yan muttered secretly, and at the same time he was a little more vigilant about Kong Yan. He looked at Xiang Qingwu on the other side who didn't know anything about it with some pity, and sighed in his heart, what a good-looking young lady she was, but now she was harmed by Kong Yan into such a picture of no one and no ghost, maybe one day she was sold and willingly counted the money, heh.
"Something?" Xiang Qingwu turned his head and asked Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was surprised, "How do you know I'm looking at you?" ”
"Feeling." Xiang Qingwu said naturally.
Lu Yan touched the tip of his nose weakly, he relied on himself to be able to see, so he was unscrupulous in everything, but when he faced Xiang Qingwu, he realized that even if some people couldn't see, her hearing would be extremely keen, and she could guess seven or eight points with a little wind and grass.
"It seems that the method in the past was not simply to break the stone wall, maybe there are other mechanisms here, Lu Yan, you can look for it." Kong Yan was a little excited, as long as he found the mechanism, it meant that all his guesses were correct. If you go to the other side, you may be able to find a way out of the island.
Lu Yan wandered around for a while and didn't find the mechanism, he scratched his yellow hair like withered grass anxiously, "It's really not, except for stones or stones here, let alone the mechanism, I haven't seen a single chicken feather." ”
"Impossible." Kong Yan said in disbelief.
"I don't believe it, come and see for yourself." Lu Yan shook his hands angrily and sat on the ground.
Only Lu Yan can see the situation around him clearly, if he says no, it must be really not, but in fact, someone has indeed entered the other side.
Bai Ke touched the stubble on his chin and hesitated, "Do you think those people were originally on the other side, so we couldn't find a way to open the stone wall." ”
Kong Yan shook his head, "Although there is no such possibility, it is a fact that their ashes were blown to this side by the wind, which means that this stone wall has indeed been opened." ”
The wind in the corridor blew with the fishy smell of the earth, which made Xiang Qingwu shiver coldly, she stroked her arm, she could clearly feel the beating of her muscles and the warmth of her pulse, she suddenly thought that if Xiang Wantong woke up and saw her appearance, would she faint with fright.
The wind soon stopped, and only the breathing of a few people remained in the corridor. And just after the wind stopped for a while, the sound of chains on the opposite side sounded again.
Xiang Qingwu listened to the voice over there, and suddenly something flashed in her mind, and she asked Kong Yan, "Did you feel the wind just now?" ”
Kong Yan immediately realized that Xiang Qingwu's words were not asked casually, "I don't feel it, did you think of something?" ”
"Wind? Is it windy here? Lu Yan asked.
Xiang Qingwu put his palm on the stone wall, closed his eyes, he extended his internal force into the stone wall, originally thought it would be very difficult, but she miraculously found that her internal force seemed to enter a sponge full of small holes, the intricate holes were connected to each other, there was nothing inside, and she could even feel the air flow in the hole.
"What did you find?" Lu Yan asked urgingly.
Just when Xiang Qingwu tried to pass through the stone wall and wanted to investigate the situation on the other side of the stone wall, the sound of "bang-la-la" suddenly sounded like a shocking thunder, and the sound of the chain was far louder than what he had heard before.
"Poof-" Even so, Xiang Qingwu was still devoured by the internal force, and a mouthful of blood spit out.
Lu Yan was taken aback, how could a good person vomit blood when he didn't agree with him, "You, you, how are you?" Why did you vomit blood? ”
Kong Yan heard that Xiang Qingwu vomited blood, but he was still as calm as ever, and he asked, "Did you feel something?" ”
Xiang Qingwu nodded, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and endured the severe pain in his body and said slowly, "The inside of this stone wall is empty, and there are countless tiny holes in the wall, the wind should be blowing from there, but the wind is very small, you can't feel it." ”
"In other words, the ashes were probably really blown from the other side. If you think so, then the mechanism can only be over there, not here? Kong Yan frowned, this guess deviated from his previous thoughts, and then he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"The sound of chains increases dozens of times under the influence of the holes, and perhaps the secret of the stone wall lies in the chains. And the chains have already gone off once, and if I'm not mistaken, there will be two more times when the wind will blow again. Xiang Qingwu said, sitting cross-legged on the side, she had to adjust her body as soon as possible, so that she could probe the stone wall again when the wind came.
Except for Xiang Qingwu, no one could hear the subtle sound of chains, which sounded a second time and a third time until it gradually disappeared.
Xiang Qingwu took a deep breath, and once again covered her palm on the stone wall, the cold wind passed through the holes between the stone walls, and was divided into countless small winds that swept through Xiang Qingwu's body, she couldn't help but shrink back, and the internal force that entered the stone wall quickly swept through the intricate holes, and went straight to the opposite side.
Cold, icy chill penetrates the bones, the endless darkness seems to be a space forgotten by the heavens, the wind blade is raging against the stone wall, the sound of "whirring" is like the howl of thousands of evil spirits, there is no breath of life to be felt, despair and fear fill the whole world, all powerlessness, all involuntary bodies are magnified there hundreds of times.
“... Qingwu, you are you, you should live for yourself, not for Wantong, let alone for your father-in-law. ”
"It's you, it's you who killed your father-in-law, you murderous demon!"
"Good boy, go, one day you will surely find the meaning of your existence."
“... Sister, let's die together......"
Xiang Qingwu fell to the ground in pain, countless voices in her head kept shouting, irritable and helpless, all the emotions that were difficult to resolve would eventually be contained by anger, she gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of scarlet bloodshots, and the muscles of her body faintly emitted red light, like calcined iron.
"What's going on? How did she become like this? Lu Yan fell back in fear, and almost ran away.
Kong Yan and Bai Ke couldn't see it, but the red light emitted by Xiang Qingwu's body was so obvious, without Lu Yan reminding them, the two of them realized that something was wrong, Kong Yan immediately shouted, "Pull her over!" ”
When Xiang Qingwu's palm left the stone wall, she immediately came to her senses, and the red light on her body disappeared immediately.
"What do you see over there?" Kong Yan hurriedly asked.
Xiang Qingwu shook his head, "I didn't see anything." ”
"Didn't see anything you could become?" Lu Yan obviously didn't believe it, and his whole face was full of fear.
Xiang Qingwu thought back to everything Fang Cai, and still had palpitations, such unspeakable helplessness and panic were something she had never had, the voices of her father-in-law and Xiang Wantong pierced her heart like a sharp knife, she was like a beast imprisoned in a jar, unable to move, unable to find a way out. At that moment, she suddenly hated herself incomparably, and even had an urge to end her life.
"All the people who were burned to death by the ghost fire on Shiiju Island did so out of inner anger, and anger often comes from fear that has nowhere to vent." Xiang Qingwu said slowly, raising his eyes to look at Kong Yan, his voice trembling slightly with a hint of the aftermath of the catastrophe, "I already know how to open the stone wall, but are you really sure you want to go over?" ”
Kong Yan's arrogant eyes seemed to see everything in the world on the soles of his feet, and he said without hesitation, "Of course." ”
Bai Ke was originally a little hesitant, but after listening to Kong Yan's words, he also nodded, "It's all here, you can't go back again." ”
Lu Yan's cunning eyes swept around everyone, in the dark night, he had a greater advantage than everyone, even if he died, it could not be that he died first, "I'll go too." Lu Yan grinned, smiling a little strangely.
As for the unconscious Xulin on the ground, he had no say at all.
Xiang Qingwu nodded, looked at the dark night, and said in a deep voice. "Wait, the wind has passed, and the next time the wind comes, the sound of chains over there will disappear for about a stick of incense, and during this time, it will be safe over there, and I will use my internal force to make a hole in the place where I came out before, but at least I will have to palm four times, and after four times I will be unconscious due to exhaustion."
Kong Yan smiled, "Don't worry, we won't leave you alone." ”
Xiang Qingwu pursed her lips and sneered, "Even if you leave alone, without me, you will all die." ”
Lu Yan grinned and said, "Of course, none of our three big men can eat your palm, but you at least have to tell us what the situation is over there, do you know that you almost set yourself on fire just now?" ”
