Chapter 29: Notes
Lingxin turned around and made an "OK" gesture to us as a reminder.
Seeing her so bold, I had no choice but to smile wryly and nod, and stepped forward to verify again.
Facial expressions are the best way to verify that a person is lying, and the same applies here. The facial expressions of the two men in front of us didn't reveal a hint of unusual reaction, so I wanted to stick my hand in the general's eyes to see if he could dodge.
However, his eyes were full of cold light, and I had to dispel such thoughts. Looking into his eyes for more than ten seconds, my heart didn't tremble.
"What are they muttering about?" I whispered to Professor Xia.
"The general is urging the magician, if the construction period is delayed within the specified time, they will not be able to protect their heads." Professor Xia whispered to us.
After listening to Professor Xia's words, I looked at the laborers who were working around me, and they were really miserable.
"They're leaving, let's go and have a look." Professor Xia told us. It can be seen that such a scene is completely dreamed of for Professor Xia.
Following the two men, we ascended the stone steps. The two leopards were looking around from above, and we tried to tiptoe as much as we could to keep the movement to a minimum.
When I came to the two leopards, I was wary of them. Although they look malnourished, they have fierce eyes and are not bad at aggression. As the saying goes, "emaciated camels are bigger than horses", not to mention that they are leopards.
"Be careful, everyone!" I whispered to them. They both nodded in accumulation, then focused on the two leopards. Professor Xia was the first to walk between the two leopards.
Safe! The two leopards really couldn't see us. Then Professor Xia reached out to pull Lingxin, and Lingxin also passed.
I looked at the two leopards who were patrolling around, there was still blood in their mouths, and their green saliva dripping on the ground was sticky and disgusting.
"Death is death!" I said silently in my heart, closed my eyes, and stepped forward.
When I turned around, the two leopards didn't turn around. They really can't see us, and they can't smell our smell.
Having avoided the leopards, we followed the two to the altar, where their retinue stood by.
The altar looks unfinished, and several carvers are carving the patterns on the base of the stone platform.
There are nearly 20 kinds of tools beside the two craftsmen, of different sizes, shapes, and uses. In the blink of an eye, a flower with both looks was born under the craftsman's chisel.
Our attention is focused on what interests each other.
Lingxin walked around the altar and looked around. Professor Xia, on the other hand, has already fixed his eyes on those two people, because they can reveal important information that is extremely helpful to our current situation.
In the face of so many uncertainties, we mostly use gestures to convey information: stretching out our palms is to act separately, and clenching our fists is to assemble.
By comparison, I confirmed that we were in the position where I am now, but then our position changed, and it was not clear to explain; But now the meteorite is still there.
The reason why it is said to be a meteorite and not other stones is because it has a dissolution crater on it, and those beautiful flowers and plants are attached to it, and none of them are recorded in our existing data.
What I didn't expect was that the meteorite was still missing even though the tomb was under construction, and that piece was the jade pendant on my chest. However, it is now gone.
At that moment, wisps of colored smoke lingered around it again, the same as the scene we had seen before. Professor Xia and Lingxin also noticed this problem and looked at each other on the other side.
At this time, a miraculous thing happened, and the seven-colored mist that surrounded the meteorite turned into a beautiful woman.
Her eyebrows are as thin as willows, her teeth are white and her lips are red, and her figure is slender. As soon as she appeared, she covered her face with her long sleeves and half-squatted to salute the two people.
Compared with Lingxin, I think this beauty should be divided according to the era, because their beauty is not on the same level. One is as glamorous as a painting, the other is beautiful and devours the soul, and the heart belongs to the latter.
Whether the beauty of listening to the heart can devour people's souls, I can't care about the leopard, but for me, it is like that.
"Don't look at it, her whole body is full of evil spirits, you beware." Lingxin came to me and whispered.
"Did you notice that she had something in her cuff?" I whispered. Actually, I've already discovered a snake hidden in her cuff, and I want Lingxin to find out for herself.
If I told the truth, she would have screamed. However, what she saw through her own observation, even if she was surprised, she would subconsciously cover her mouth.
Of course, I'm not entirely sure what I think, but she's more likely to do that.
At this moment, at the cuffs of the beautiful woman, the snake poked its head out again. It had brown skin, blue Nobuko, and scarlet eyes, and moved freely around the beauty's body.
"Snake ......" Ling Xin was surprised and subconsciously covered his mouth.
She did, as I expected.
"It's okay, the snake can't see us." I comforted her. However, with such a strange thing, it is more appropriate for me to use the femme fatale to describe the potential danger of this beauty.
As for why this beauty has snake activity on her body, judging by her outfit and demeanor, I think this woman is an onmyoji. There are different factions in the inheritance of Yin and Yang ancient arts, and the unique secret techniques also have their own strengths. Therefore, the magic focuses on the other, and it is not surprising that snakes can be seen on women.
I think the snake may have lived in symbiosis with her, and the woman was suffering from a strange illness and needed to be treated by a poisonous snake; Or maybe the snake is just being treated as a pet.
The graceful woman held out her hand, and a picture made of animal skins was transformed. She handed the scroll in her hand to the mysterious man, who took it and handed it to the general.
"Uncle Xia, what are they discussing?" I asked, turning my head. Professor Xia leaned sideways to listen carefully and gestured for me to wait a moment. From his frightened expression, it could be seen that the conversation between the three men was rich in information.
After a while, Professor Xia called me and Ling Xin and formed a circle on the side. "The three of them were discussing the affairs of the underground palace. The woman was the apprentice of the mysterious man in black, and the scroll she took out was the accompanying notes for the creation of the dungeon. Finally, the woman prepares to go back with the general to resume her life. Professor Xia translated what he heard with us.
"Notes? Of the dungeon? Could it be that there is also an introduction to the origin and special magic of this meteorite? I judged.
"That's right! I agree too! Professor Xia nodded.
"Look! They're leaving! Lingxin reacted immediately.
"We can't let them go, we're leaving, we have to get the notebook." After Professor Xia negotiated, he hurriedly followed.
