Chapter 156: The Underground Courtyard

I looked at Xian'er with wide eyes: "You think so too?" ”

Who knew that Xian'er glanced at me very angrily and said, "It's not that I think so, but that you are thinking like this now, I just said what you thought in your heart." Actually, I think that the matter of Erlong Bay may not have much to do with the matter of the old Huang family, and the appearance of this nameplate here may really be just a coincidence. ”

I really couldn't agree with Xian'er's words, sighed, and ignored her anymore.

Originally, I wanted to investigate more in this cave to see if there were any other clues, but at this time, Xian'er shouted that she had made a new discovery, and held my arm and forcibly pulled me out of the cave.

I was so entangled by her that I asked her when I came out of the cave, "What are you discovering so new, can you just say no?" ”

"No, you'll have to see it to understand." Xian'er said very strongly, dragging me to a stone wall as she spoke.

Xian'er raised her chin towards the stone wall: "That's it." ”

The stone wall was also as black as an abyss, and the wall was extremely smooth, like a flat mirror.

After that, I stretched out my hand again and groped around the stone wall for a while, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

I said to Xian'er with some confusion, "It's no different from the previous stone wall." ”

Xian'er smiled at me, and then I saw her reach out and insert her arm, which was like a mutton fat jade, into the stone wall. Xian'er is a ghost after all, and her body is originally capable of piercing walls.

Then I heard a "click", and it seemed that Xian'er had touched some mechanism behind the stone wall.

At this time, Xian'er yelled at me: "Get out of the way!" ”

Dodge? How to hide? Where to hide?

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could make a move, something very hard suddenly smashed into my shoulder, knocking me to the ground.

I was hurt by it, and I couldn't help but scream "ah".

Senior Brother Bao's voice immediately came over the walkie-talkie: "Youdao, what's wrong?" Please reply when you hear it! ”

While rubbing my shoulders, I responded to Senior Brother Zhuang: "It's okay, I fell." ”

Brother Bao was silent on the other end of the walkie-talkie for a while, and then said to me, "Be careful. ”

It was only at this time that I remembered that Senior Brother Bao could now hear the conversation between me and Xian'er through the walkie-talkie.

I don't know if Senior Brother Bao can hear Xian'er's voice through the walkie-talkie, but one thing is certain, that is, Senior Brother Bao must know about Xian'er's existence.

Otherwise, no matter whether Senior Brother Bao can hear Xian'er's voice or not, when I talk to Xian'er, he will at least ask me.

When I got up, I realized that the stone wall in front of me was open from the middle, like a door with two open doors.

And it was one of the stone slabs that hit me just now.

That is, at the same time as the stone wall was opened, the corpse qi in the air became a little thicker.

Xian'er asked me on the side, "Do you want to go in?" ”

I nodded at Xian'er: "Come in." ”

As I spoke, I had already gotten up and walked in, and Xian'er seemed very proud that she had discovered such a secret, and she walked beside me with an expression of invitation.

I deliberately pretended not to see it.

The floor and walls of this space hidden inside the stone wall are all pure black, but unlike the black earth and black walls outside, when the beam of the flashlight shines on the ground and walls here, it can also slightly reflect a trace of luster similar to glass.

Xian'er glanced inside a few times, and suddenly became excited: "There is a way, these walls, these walls, all made of obsidian, obsidian!" ”

Obsidian I know, it doesn't seem to be a precious stone, I can't figure out what the fairy is excited about.

He listened to himself and continued: "Look at these obsidian, there is no variegation at all, and the spiritual rhyme is very sufficient, the effect of nourishing the soul must be very good!" You'll be able to call a few people to get these obsidian out, and we'll all move home!" ”

Hearing her words, I felt a chill in my heart.

Just kidding, if the stone walls here were all made of obsidian, they would have to be at least dozens of tons. Moving back home, where did I get so much ability?

But Xian'er kept staring at me with a very expectant look, and I was so furious that she said to her, "What, let's get down to business first." These obsidians, since they appear in Huangjiazhuang, may be the property of the old Huang family. Let's find the gold-topped monk first, maybe when the old lady Huang is happy, he will give us these obsidians? ”

Xian'er looked at me for a while, then made a contemplative look, and after a moment nodded, "It's okay." ”

I immediately changed the subject: "Xian'er, if you take a closer look, maybe you can find other mechanisms in this dark room." ”

Xian'er nodded at me, and she probed into the nearby wall.

Seeing Xian'er's body burrowing through the obsidian walls, I couldn't figure out what her body was made of.

The question of whether the fairy is a spirit or a physical entity has been bothering me for years, but now, whenever this question comes to my mind, I can't help but explore the answer.

If the fairy is a physical entity, it is impossible for an entity to walk through a solid wall. If Xian'er is a spirit, it seems to make even more sense. For a while, I had assumed that Xian'er was a pure spirit being, and that I had a sense of touch when I met her, maybe some kind of soul ion in her body acted directly on my nerves, giving me the illusion of touching her, and when she pulled me to run, it was also the ion in her body that stimulated my nerves and stimulated my potential, so that I became as fast as hers. And at this time, I will also have the illusion of "being pulled by the fairy".

However, this speculation turned out to be extremely unreliable, because I later found out that Xian'er could directly pick up objects in reality. After she put her hand deep into the stone wall before, didn't she touch the mechanism in the stone wall?

For me at that time, the question of whether the fairy was a spirit or a physical entity became almost the biggest paradox in my life.

Just when my brain was still entangled with such a paradox, Xian'er suddenly poked her head out of the wall and waved at me: "There is a mechanism here, I'll try to move it, you stay away." ”

I immediately dodged away to avoid being hit by the wall again.

A moment later, I heard a crunching sound on the inside of the wall, and then the stone wall turned into a stone door that opened on both sides, slowly opening.

Suddenly, a very strong smell of blood poured out of it, and I couldn't help but frown.

As the gap in the stone wall grew larger, a bright light shone into the space I was in.

When that light fell on me, I finally saw the only color in this little dark space, and that was the pale blue of my clothes.

And when the stone wall was fully unfolded, I was greeted by a colorful courtyard.

I read that right, it was an enclosed courtyard with a very thick old tree growing in the direction of the stone gate.

The ground was overgrown with weeds, which looked so hard that they emerged from the soil and grew upright like sharp swords, and each grass was almost the same height, showing a strange neatness.

The fairy ran into the courtyard, touched the grass, and said to me, "It looks like a knife, but it feels soft to the touch." ”

As she spoke, she walked into the depths of the courtyard, and as soon as she opened up the distance between her and me, I immediately felt a little weak in my legs and feet, so I hurried into the courtyard.

The sword-like grass was indeed soft, and when I stepped on it, they were immediately prostrate on the ground by my foot, but when I took my foot away, they stood up again.

The courtyard is surrounded by tall stone walls, and at the top of the courtyard, there is a ceiling. When I looked up, I saw many bowl-sized holes in the ceiling, and soft beams of light shone through the holes, illuminating the whole courtyard.

The color of the light was slightly yellowish, and it didn't seem to be normal sunlight. And from the zenith to the ground, the distance is about ten meters, but when I went down the well, it was at least twenty meters down, that is, above the courtyard, it should be ten meters thick soil, so how did this light shine in?

Other than that, what I miss most at this moment is the strong smell of blood in the air, which seems to have no source and merges into the air from all directions.

At this time, the fairy who was walking in front of me turned around and beckoned to me from afar: "I have made a new discovery, come and see!" ”

She spoke with an excited look on her face, as if exploring such a place would be fun for her.

I sighed helplessly, and ran over in three steps and two steps, and Xian'er stretched out her hand and pointed to the ground, and said to me, "Look at you! ”

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and I saw that there were some stones arranged in a certain pattern on the ground under the weeds, some of which were covered with moss, and some of which resembled rust marks.

But the grass is so vigorous that it's hard to figure out what shape the stones are in.

This time, Xian'er sensed what was going on in my mind, and she raised her chin towards the big tree in the corner of the courtyard, and said to me, "Go up the tree!" ”

I didn't bother with it, I just charged, using eight steps of footwork, and rushed to the treetops in three steps, and I also found that the smell of blood on the tree was stronger than other places.

At this time, Xian'er also wandered to the treetops, and I asked her, "Do you think something is wrong with this tree?" ”

Xian'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, it's not quite right......"

As she spoke, her eyes kept looking towards the ground, and I was waiting for her to say what to say, but she suddenly changed the subject: "Youdao, why do I feel that pattern is a little familiar?" ”

I asked her, "What pattern?" ”
