Chapter 21: Reappearance

"Maybe I'm wrong! It's darker there, and only the outline is visible. www.biquge.info I comforted myself for the monster I had just seen under the tree, "Don't think you're a monster when you see people with hands and feet!" Maybe something like wood, stone, etc. "This situation, and what happened tonight, is hard to convince me, but I can only convince my own fears with this thought. The most important thing at this moment is to get out of here.

Just as I was thinking about how to get out, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the torch on my right, and it felt a lot darker. More precisely, there seems to be something on the right blocking the torch in the distance. A shadow from a distance stuck to the ground not far away. I was startled and quickly turned my head to look.

I was taken aback by what I saw, the black cloak suddenly appeared in the distance, and his body blocked a torch in the distance, so I felt that it was suddenly dark.

It's suddenly darkened! Did he appear out of thin air? No, there are several intersections there, and it is possible that he came out of one of them. Of course, this is all just my guess. I saw that the black cloak was still holding a torch, and his whole body was submerged in the cloak, and I still saw his back. He was walking slowly at the pace of the previous walk.

"Hey!" When I saw him this time, I hurriedly called him, for fear that he would suddenly disappear again, "Who the hell are you?" Where is this? "Because of the peculiar structure here, the echo I shouted out turned back. Two voices echoed in the empty street.

To my surprise, my voice was so loud that he didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't have any intention of stopping. He kept walking until he walked through a door at the end of the road.

I immediately got up and chased after me. In order to run faster, I threw away the Eight Immortals Stool in my hand. Just now, because I was thinking about the problems I was facing, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. At this time, I found that this road was much wider than the alley and street just now, and there was a torch on each side of the road more than ten meters apart. It seems that I have returned to the main road before I know it.

I chased to the end of the road, and there was a very long and tall wall, which was somewhat similar to the ancient wall, which was red and had a few sentry posts at the top. In the middle of the city wall was an extra-large wooden door, similar to the ancient city gates, with rows of raised semicircular metal on the door, which were nail caps. The nail cap is the tail of the nail, and it is made like this because: first, it is used to hold the nail from falling off, and second, it is used to decorate. The nail cap is covered with green rust. Each of the two wooden doors has a brass ring, made into a lion's head biting the brass ring, which is as green as a nail cap. As a rough estimate, the gate is more than ten meters high and five or six meters wide. The walls were even higher, fifteen or sixteen meters high. The door was open, and I followed.

Inside was a yard, which was very large, about the size of a football field. There was no grass or trees in the courtyard, and the ground was all covered with stone slabs. In the middle of the courtyard stand two rows of stone statues, a lion on the left and a peacock on the right. The stone lion sits on the ground with its mouth open, and its mouth is lit with fire. The stone peacock was standing, with a stone plate on its head, and the plate was also lit on fire. Oil should have been placed inside the place where the fire started, similar to the design of an oil lamp. The two rows of stone statues lead to the end of the courtyard, and at the end is a one-story high sloping top flying corner tower, which looks very large, roughly estimated to be three or four hundred square meters. Looking deeper, there seemed to be some taller buildings in the distance behind the Flying Corner Tower. But they were all drowned in darkness, and only black outlines could be seen.

One thing that strikes me as strange is that the walls of the courtyard are all red, but the walls of the Flying Corner Tower at the end are black. In this color, light cannot be reflected, so the flying corner tower appears darker.

Although the courtyard was large, I saw that the black cloak was already halfway gone. He walked in the middle of two rows of stone statues, and the direction was obviously the flying corner tower at the end.

I immediately chased after it, and then a second footstep sounded again. With the experience just now, I am not surprised. Because it's large and empty, it's not surprising that it produces an echo. Although I knew how it worked, I felt uncomfortable when I heard two footsteps, and I always felt that someone was following me.

Although I sat down and rested for a while, after all, I had consumed a lot of physical strength before. Now I can barely trot to catch up.

I ran and looked around. The stone statues on both sides have been changed beyond recognition, and I can only barely see the four-legged animal in the column on the left, and the eyes and nose are missing due to the long-term rain. I say it's a lion because its neck is carved with the hair characteristic of male lions. Although the row of stone peacocks on the right is also unrecognizable, it is easy to recognize, and their carved images are all with their tails open.

Some of the stone statues are mutilated. Half of the screens from the tails of two peacocks were missing, and some of the stone lion heads were missing. It seems that these stone statues are very old.

Because the courtyard is very large, and only one of the paths in the middle of the two rows of stone statues has fire, it is difficult to see things in the distance, and you can only see the outline of the other side by the light of the moon. I saw some relatively large things faintly placed on both sides, I couldn't see clearly, a bit like a stone statue, and a bit like a bucket or an ancient bronze tripod or something, and put one at intervals.

When I was about to reach the Flying Corner Tower, I saw a person standing on the right side of the place where the fire did not shine, but I couldn't see it clearly. The man was facing me. I was startled and slowed down.

"Is that human?" I thought to myself.

Suddenly, the thing's head seemed to move. I immediately stopped and looked straight at the silhouette. My heart was beating faster and faster. But it hasn't touched since.

"That movement just now was too small, maybe it was my delusion." I thought to myself, "There are so many stone carvings here, and it's not surprising that there's a humanoid statue over there!" ”

At this point, my goal was to catch up with the black cloak, and although I was a little scared of it, I had to bite the bullet and ask him about it. I ran straight to the Flying Corner Tower.

I shouted to him during the chase of the black cloak, but he still didn't respond, and went on his own.

By the time I reached the middle of the courtyard, the black cloak had already walked into the Flying Corner Tower. When I ran into the Flying Corner Tower, I couldn't see him. It wasn't the first time he had suddenly disappeared, and the scene in front of me caught my attention more than his sudden disappearance, and I was startled as soon as I entered the door.

A huge figure stood in front of me. It is five or six meters tall. I was stunned. It was a large hall, and only one torch was lit on each side of the hall, and the light of the torch did not reach the middle, so it was impossible to see the face of the person in front of him at all. He is said to be human because his silhouette is exactly like that of a human being, with hands, feet and head. But he seemed to be holding something in his left hand and looked at it in front of him.

Because I have experienced too many horrible and strange things tonight, I feel a little numb now, although I was taken aback, I didn't panic too much. There is no one in the world who is five or six meters tall. At this time, I felt that this was not human. So I ran to the right and pulled out the torch that was fixed to the wall, and then took the middle photo. Sure enough, this was not a person, it was a stone statue.

I saw that the statue was a man wearing ancient clothes, with long hair, and a polite manner. He held in his left hand an unknown object, but because of the limited light of the torch, he could not see clearly, but it was round, a bit like a mirror, and he handed the mirror to himself, but his face was very serious and looked straight ahead. It felt like he was looking at that mirror and suddenly noticed something in front of him, and it was something that made him look very serious. The realism of this stone carving made me feel cold behind my back, and I also looked behind me. I was relieved to see that the two columns of stone statues behind me were still shining with fire, and there was nothing unusual.

After figuring out that the giant in front of me was a stone carving, the strange fact that the black cloak suddenly disappeared dragged me back into fear and distress again. Is he a human or a ghost?

There was only one torch on the left and one on the left and one on the right in the hall, and the one on the right was now in my possession, so the perimeter of the hall was darker.

I think the hall is a bit quirky. Although the two sides of the hall are very wide, about 20 meters wide on both sides, the length of the front and back is not long. The giant stone sculpture stood about ten meters away from the door, and behind the stone sculpture was a wall. This is very different from my rough estimate from the outside, and this flying corner tower is three or four hundred square meters. It feels a third shorter before and after.

I'm wondering if there's a mechanism here? There should be some room in the future. Did the black cloak go behind the wall through the trap? If there really is a mechanism, this is too low-level, and even I, a layman, can see at a glance that the area of the hall is not right.

I walked up to the statue with a torch and suddenly noticed a faint flash of fire on the right.

My heart shook: Where did the fire come from? The torch on the right is obviously in my hand, and there can't be a fire on the right.
