The senior brother was dumbfounded: "Are you asking me to go through the wall now?" ”

I hummed, and then I heard him refuse: "Don't be kidding, you'll be killed." ”

I held the jade flute and said lightly: "It's not enough to die, at most a few big bags on my head." ”

After a pause, he added: "The worst situation is that you are stuck in the wall, you can't get in, and you can't get out." ”

"Stuck in the Wall......"

Senior Brother's expression became even more tangled.

I smiled and replied, "What's so strange, it's something that many warlocks have experienced. ”

"At first, if you don't have strong concentration and mental strength, for example, before you go through a wall, you subconsciously feel that you can pass through, but in the process of passing through a wall, you suddenly feel that you can't pass through, and you can easily get stuck in the wall."

"It's so difficult, how can people's thoughts, which change so quickly, be controlled so precisely?"

I nodded in agreement, "That's true, so one of the first requirements for becoming a warlock is to have strong concentration and mental power. ”

"That'...... What if you get stuck in the wall, will you die? ”

The senior brother looked at the Immortal Pagoda and was stunned.

"It's a matter of personal luck."

Seeing that his heart was weak, I suddenly became interested and scared him: "Some warlocks are not well controlled, they are stuck in the wall, and they can only find someone to tear down the wall in order to be rescued, and some people are more miserable, when they pass through the wall, there is no one around, or the wall is relatively thick, and there are not a few people who are suffocated and starved to death inside, as for our ......"

I paused and said, "If one of us gets stuck in the wall and the other goes to the rescue, we may survive, but if we don't get it, we will be beheaded by the king." ”

My brother was so frightened by me that he was speechless, and although he didn't speak, his steps were obviously much heavier.

After a moment, he said earnestly: "Scarlet, if any of us are stuck in the wall and don't go to move the rescuers, we will ...... If you're lucky, you should be able to tear down the walls of the Immortal Tower overnight. ”

I opened my mouth slightly, then retracted my expression, and said sincerely: "Senior brother, you really have a heart......

The senior brother also heard that I was ridiculing him, so he gave me a blank look and didn't say anything.

"Scarlet, what does the world of warlocks look like?"

A moment later, he asked me this.

"What are you asking for?"

"Just curious."

I glanced at him, "I advise you not to be curious. ”

"Why?"

The senior brother refused to give up, and since he knew that the master had 'taught' me these things, he was a little eager to try.

"Because you can't sleep at night."

“…… Isn't it scary? ”

I hummed and then he asked, "How terrible is it." ”

"For example, there is actually a female ghost standing next to you now, you can't see her, but she is smiling at me."

The senior brother seemed to have stepped on a mouse trap, and was so frightened that he bounced, looking at his position just now with a frightened expression.

"She looked like she had been hacked to death, her body was covered in blood, her eyes were protruding, and she had a very ugly scar on her face."

Senior brother swallowed his saliva, and when I saw that my goal had been achieved, I hooked my lips and smiled, and said proudly: "Lied to you." ”

"Gu Feiran!"

The senior brother became furious.

As if I hadn't seen it, I walked to the side of the Immortal Pagoda and slowly stroked the tower, looking for a convenient place to enter.

Then, he explained to him: "In fact, after a person dies, the ghost is just a mist, and the ghost who is not obsessed with it can't even see the shape of a human being, and when the wind blows, it disperses, and the kind of person who harbors a deep grudge is at most just a black shadow that can recognize the human form, and when you are lucky, you can see who it is from the black shadow, and you can't see the details of the face at all." ”

"If that's the case."

The senior brother paused: "A little disappointed." ”

I hummed in confusion and asked, "Why, do you want to see those horrible things?" ”

"Nothing."

Senior Brother replied lightly: "I always thought that after people die, they only go to another world, we can't see them, but they can know everything in the world. ”

"If, as you said, after death, people are just a mist, nothing can be left, and even their own existence seems to be nothing, then what is the point of us sacrificing and worshipping every year?"

"Wouldn't it be meaningless?"

I said angrily: "You must know that there is always something that will exist beyond the rationality of this world. ”

"For example?" My brother was aroused by my interest again.

"Human feelings."

I paused, and then said: "The relationship between people, due to fate, the physical body is just a carrying container, the most important thing is the experience in getting along, and the memories after the experience, just like you said sacrifice and worship, its real purpose is not really to think that what we do can have any impact on the deceased, but a kind of sustenance. ”

"For the past encounters, for the memories of the present world......"

I sighed and muttered, "How can human feelings that transcend all reasonable and existing things in the world be judged by a sentence of 'meaninglessness'?" ”

Senior Brother nodded thoughtfully.

I ignored him, put the jade flute on my waist, and said, "Remember what I just said to you." ”

He walked to the Immortal Tower, passed through the wall, and stood inside the tower, hearing the dull sound of surprise from the senior brother outside.

Listening to the sound of him hitting the wall outside again and again, I have mixed feelings, and I always feel that I have cheated my senior brother, and if it goes on like this, it will hit the dawn, and he can't get in.

Just when I thought that my senior brother would become a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, suddenly a heavy object flashed and threw me to the ground, and the senior brother's puzzled voice came from overhead: "Come in?" ”

Before I could answer, I heard him ask in a daze, "Did I come in, or did you go out?" ”

I sighed and said angrily, "You get off me first." ”

Senior brother sighed and quickly pulled me up.

He lit the fire, and we walked up the stairs, the tower was dusty and full of cobwebs, and my brother and I cautiously climbed to the top of the Immortal Tower.

But I saw that in the tower on the top floor, there was a circle of everlasting lights, which had long been extinguished due to their age, and many things in the room were covered with gold leaf, so they were very bright in the firelight.

The senior brother said, "Strange, how do I feel that there is wind here?" ”

As he spoke, he also protected the fire fold with his hand, only to see the fire swaying in the wind and almost extinguished.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the top of the tower, and said, "Don't you notice, there are a few skylights open there." ”

The senior brother looked up and looked at it for a long time before he said, "Scarlet, I suddenly thought of a question. ”

I looked at him, waited for his next words, and then listened to him, "Did we just come in through the skylight?" ”

I paused for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

"You didn't say it sooner!"

The senior brother said angrily: "I have hit the wall so many times." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and replied innocently, "Just now we were looking from the bottom up, and you see, it was leaking rain, and the skylights were blocked by wooden planks, how do I know?" ”

The senior brother sighed helplessly and muttered, "I won't go out from under it again later." ”

We searched around the tower, and the senior brother said, "Scarlet, do you think it's strange? ”

"Strange?"

The senior brother pointed to the confession in the north and said: "People say that this immortal pagoda was built by the king for Princess Hanji, because the queen died of an unfortunate illness at that time, so she was also moved in, but there, why is there only the tablet of the queen Niangniang, Princess Hanji?" ”

He glanced at me, walked over, saw a wooden box on the case, and said, "What is this?" ”

The wooden box, not big or small, was placed next to the queen's tablet, and it was also stained with incense ash.

I subconsciously said, "Don't open it!" ”

It was too late, the senior brother had already raised his hand to open the wooden box, and when he saw the contents inside, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"This, this, this ......"

He was stunned, pointed to the contents of the wooden box, and said in amazement, "What is that?" ”

Inside, it was the corpse of a baby.

Due to its age, the whole body is purple-black, and because of the mercury infused inside, the corpse is not shriveled, it looks like a film wrapped in thick water, and it also emits a foul smell.

I pulled my senior brother behind me and quickly closed the lid: "Don't you want to die, do you know that the things there are poisonous!" ”

Senior brother was stunned by my yelling, and reluctantly calmed down and said, "I...... I didn't expect ...... either."

He glanced tentatively at the wooden box and asked, "What about ...... Is that the baby who has been haunting the palace lately? ”

I hummed, and he asked, "How did it end up here?" ”

"I'll tell you when I go out, go down to the bottom of the tower now, and help me find something."

"A thing?"

I hummed, put the wooden box back in place, and listened to my brother ask, "What is it?" ”

I walked down the place I had just climbed up, step by step, and replied, "A mechanism." ”

Senior brother followed behind me and couldn't help but sigh: "Scarlet, what do you want to do?" ”

I stopped and looked back at him, "Don't you want to know who the thief and the baby are, what they did wrong, and why they were punished so much by the king?" ”

Senior brother nodded, I turned around, and continued to walk: "When I find Princess Hanji, everything will be revealed." ”

"What do you mean......"

The senior brother reacted and said, "Princess Hanji's tablet is still in this tower?" ”

I hooked my lips and smiled, and replied, "Not only the tablet, but also the corpse of Princess Hanhime is here." ”

"It can't be."

The senior brother replied categorically: "Everyone knows that entering the earth is safe, it is the immortal tower of ordinary people, and it will not worship the bones of the dead, how can the king not know this truth if he cares about the princess so much?" ”

"The Tower of Immortality does not enshrine the bones of the dead, but only ......"

I paused, glanced back at my senior brother, and showed a strange smile: "Senior brother, do you really think that this tower in front of you is just an immortal tower?" ”
