Chapter 68: Inscription on the bone

I asked them if they had found anything when they went out just now, and the second uncle patted his head: "Don't you say it, I almost forgot, I found a footprint." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Lao said: "Why didn't you say it earlier when you found something?" Maybe there's someone else here. ”

The second uncle said: "Hurry up with a hammer, there are only a few of us here, it's not too late to recuperate and leave, not to mention that there is Young Master Chen here, if you see it, maybe he will leave us and leave secretly along the footprints." ”

Zhang Lao shook his head: "Why don't you believe me so much?" We are among the people who share the suffering. ”

The second uncle said: "Stop, after a long time, we have only met you a few times, and you seem to be very familiar with us." ”

Zhang Lao said: "You say this, it really hurts the self-esteem of the teacher. ”

The second uncle said that he was the same as Sun Wukong: "I have experienced ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties in my life, I have never seen any scene in the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, this place, we will definitely be able to go out." But when he said this, he paused, glanced at us a few times with his spare eyes, and seemed to be less confident, "If we really can't get out, we can live here, it's isolated from the world, there is no hustle and bustle, there is no war, it's just a paradise!" ”

I hit him and said, "You are healed and forgot the pain, you have still seen the nine giant pythons!" Maybe it's going to be an ambush around us. ”

The second uncle hurriedly looked back, his body involuntarily retracted, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it, is it your eyes that are dazzling?" ”

I said, "Okay, let's get down to business, where are the footprints you just saw?" ”

The second uncle lit a torch and walked forward, and after walking for a while, he saw the footprints. A few of us leaned down to look, and the footprints were brightly reflected by the firelight, and the second uncle pointed there and said, "Look, this is it." ”

It was a series of footprints, wet, and some water around, so it stands to reason that no one would come here, could it be some other tomb robber? Zhang Lao patted his head and suddenly realized: "If you don't say that I forgot it, this is the footprints of my big apprentice." ”

I suddenly remembered the tall and thin man, who had left alone in a boat, and who might have entered one of the holes, and I thought he was unlucky. But this footprint matches his height, it should be his footprint, steady, not faltering at all, and there should be no injuries.

Zhang Lao thought for a while: "My unfilial son left without permission, and I was relieved to see that he was in good health." He may have discovered those three secrets, so he went to find them. Fortunately, he is fine, there should be nothing wrong, we just need to get him back. ”

The second uncle lit another torch, and we groped forward along the footprints, which were sparse and sparse, and suddenly disappeared next to a stone pile. My second uncle and I glanced at each other, could it be that there is a passage under the small stone pile? Where did the tall skinny go down?

I sneezed, these damn fireflies, they won't go.

I looked up and saw that there were more and more fireflies, lingering ten meters around us, and they were especially bright in this dark space. We have limited firelight, we can't see the pattern around us, and we don't know where the margins are.

The fireflies slowly flew upwards until they reached high in the air, and the light on their tails gradually dimmed and finally disappeared. A wave of heat rushed towards us, and this irritable air gave people a very bad feeling, which was cold just now, but now it suddenly became hot and dry, and we couldn't help but be anxious.

There were bursts of sound around us, like playing the harp, like beating cotton, and there were all kinds of sounds, some low, some high-pitched, as if they were above our heads, and as if they were somewhere around us. I suspected that my ears were ringing, so I quickly covered my ears, but the sound still pierced my eardrums like a sharp knife.

We hurriedly lay down and try not to look up, for fear that something bad is around. I lay on the ground, my ears on the ground, but I couldn't hear the sound anymore, it didn't seem to come from the ground, and then the ground seemed to brighten a little.

As soon as I turned around, I looked up to the sky and saw that above my head, there were dots of light, which were larger and brighter than the light emitted by fireflies, and I saw that they were about 20 meters above the ground.

Each point of light flickered on and off, and finally it was completely bright, as if it were day. I felt refreshed all of a sudden, and after a long stay in the night, it was as if I had met the sun that I had not seen for a long time, and although it was difficult for my eyes to adjust to the light at once, it was still as if I had been reborn.

I exclaimed in amazement, "Second uncle, look, what's on top of your head?" ”

The second uncle turned his back to the sky, and a carp straightened up, got up from the ground, and said, "I have seen these things, they are a kind of demon moth, and they will glow." They kept flapping their wings, and the sound we just heard came from their wings. ”

These demon moths are not very small, and they actually took them as fireflies just now, and they scattered on the top in groups, and they did not fly around, lying there quietly. The surroundings were illuminated, and as far as the eye could see, we felt like we had arrived in an underground ancient city.

A hundred meters away from us were the city walls, made up of stones more than a meter long, and in general, grayish-brown. The stones of the wall were very irregular, and they were covered with vines of all kinds, and you could not see them from any distance.

I looked back and saw the small fire a few dozen meters away from us, and I felt a sense of relief that it was about to be extinguished.

I remembered what the second uncle said not long ago, when they were washed out of the whirlpool in the corpse mountain, they wanted to look for the river again, but they couldn't find it. The light was bright enough for me to see what was around me, and I looked closely, but I couldn't find the river, not even a dirt pit.

I couldn't help but feel a little horrified, as if we had been placed here out of thin air, and there seemed to be something invisible around us that was manipulating us.

The tall and thin footprints disappeared beside the mound, but where had the others gone? If anything happens to him, at least he can see the blood. There were some gravel and sand all around, and we didn't stop long beside the sand, and after a few steps forward, Zhang Lao suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground. When he got up from the ground, he held a bone-like thing in his hand and said to us ecstatically, "I seem to have found something."

Tong Xiangyu looked over and was stunned, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "I already know a little bit about the secret of immortality." ”
