Chapter Seventy-One: The Array of Vipers
With a bang, half of the globe flew out of the door of the library and slammed into the wall, sending sawdust flying.
Immediately, Calle staggered out of his rocking chair, holding the white copper pillar in his arms, and stumbled towards it.
Gu Qingcheng immediately stepped out of the bathroom and stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, blocking Cale's way.
"I spent ...... I can't open the lock for so long, no, I don't believe it...... I immediately took it to Kathmandu to find the best lockpick...... You must open it, you must open it......" Calle approached, raising his hazy drunken eyes to look at Gu Qingcheng.
"You're drunk, go back and get some sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Gu Qingcheng said coldly.
"I don't sleep, I don't sleep...... I'm going to Kathmandu, go away, go away......" Kahler continued forward, his right hand pushing Allure's shoulder.
At the moment when that hand touched Gu Qingcheng's shoulder, her left arm swung softly and bonelessly, and with the kung fu of "golden silk wrist hand", she put it on Kahler's right arm, stirred it three times in a row, and with a gentle send, Kahler staggered back and fell on her back.
Gu Tingcheng reacted extremely quickly, reached out and grabbed the white copper pillar before it hit the ground.
"You're drunk." Gu Qingcheng patted the white copper pillar, turned around and handed it to Guan Wen.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not ...... Drunken ......" Kahler rolled over, resting his head on his left arm, and after only a minute, he was already snoring like thunder. Drinking and mistaking things is really an unbreakable truth. If he hadn't been drinking, the two would have had to grapple for at least a few more rounds, rather than going down in one got.
The two looked at Calle closely, and the young man's unusual expressions made their suspicions grow stronger. Within easy reach, Gu Qingcheng could take the other party's life at any time as long as she wanted to, and her hand had already secretly pulled the trigger of the short gun. Eventually, she slowly took a step back and let out a long exhale, giving up the murderous intent she had just condensed.
"Heโwhat should he do? Do you want to ......?" Guan Wen asked tentatively.
"Put it away, don't worry about anything, and give it to Baoling tomorrow." Gu Qingcheng calmly commanded.
Guan Wen walked into the guest room, closed the door with his backhand, and then cautiously locked it. He must be as precautionary as possible and not rely on others entirely.
On the bed, Baoling is still asleep, and her sleeping position has not changed.
Guan Wen put the white copper pillar under the bed, and then returned to the sofa by himself, lay down in his clothes, and fell asleep. His dreams were short, one after the other, all related to poisonous snakes. At the end of the dream, the palace of Xia Ri turned into a huge snake cave, and even Calle turned into a hideous king cobra, roaming back and forth on the withered yellow grass, directing the snakes to attack.
"Snakes? Bao Ling?" Guan Wen woke up and found that the door was wide open, and the night wind was pouring in. Baoling was not on the bed, and there was no copper pillar under the bed, and he was the only one left in the room.
Guan Wen jumped up, didn't have time to put on his shoes, and went out barefoot.
This time, he saw Baoling, who was holding the white copper pillar in her arms, step by step in the direction of the meditation room in the depths of the corridor.
Guan Wen didn't dare to scream again, because from Baoling's back, she seemed to be in a state of sleepwalking. forcibly shouted at her to wake up, just afraid that there would be an accident.
He was just about to follow, when a man flashed next to him, covered his mouth, pushed him back into the room, and turned off the light.
"Shhhhh That's the voice of the shirt.
"Baoling is sleepwalking, we have to pull her back." Guan Wen waited until he let go and whispered anxiously.
"Wait and see, it's not just sleepwalking, it's someone who has cast a soul transfer spell on her, and it's the most clever kind. I know, it has to be Kahler. In the darkness, his eyes sparkled, like a flying eagle looking high and about to hunt in the sky.
Guan Wen listened attentively, and the sound of Baoling's dragging footsteps came from afar.
"Soul transfer? Why did Calle do that?" Guan Wen was puzzled.
Xi shook his head: "I don't know, I can't understand until the moment Tu Qi Dagger sees it." Fortunately, Sister Gu and I predicted this in advance and took precautions for a long time. Now, Sister Gu is lying on the eaves outside the window of the library, and whenever there is a situation, she will send a signal, and we will strike back and forth. โ
Guan Wen sniffed, feeling that the poisonous gas in the air seemed to be aggravated.
"Mr. Guan, since you can draw other people's dreams, can you manipulate other people's dreams?" Tease asked suddenly.
This is a question that Guan Wen had never thought about before, he shook his head with a wry smile: "No, that is already the highest level of psychology, I am just an ordinary painter, how can I get it?"
Xian also laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Guan is too polite, Sister Gu admires you very much, which can be seen from your speech and demeanor." I've always wondered why a talent like you has been living in Tibetan temples and painting instead of going to a wider stage to show his talents. If you'd like, when you're done with this, I recommend you to go to the National Advanced Talent Reserve Center in Nepal, which will definitely make you shine. โ
Guan Wen sighed: "Thank you for your compassion, but I am Chinese and have never thought of serving other countries." Besides, it's extremely dangerous to get rid of demons, so let's talk about it when I can get out alive. โ
Although Master Vulture, Master Tree, Caidan Dajie, Master Sancher and others were full of expectations for him, believing that he was a great man in saving the Tibetan Land and eliminating demons, until this moment, he was very frightened, thinking that his ability was limited and not enough to take on great things. For example, when he thought of relying on Gu Qingcheng's protection in times of crisis, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, because the ancients only said "heroes save beauty", and there are very few "beauties save heroes".
"Sizzle, sizzle," a strange sound came from the right side of the room, and Guan Wen was taken aback, because the movement could only be made by a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
With a click, the flashlight was lit, and the beam of light shot at the source of the sound, but it was a set of old-fashioned copper heating packages. Immediately, the flashlight went out, the pillar of light disappeared, and the terrifying and evil "sizzle" sound became louder and louder.
The heating pipes run through the rooms of the main building, and the pipes are different from those commonly found in mainland cities, with a diameter of at least three inches and no interception valves in between. In other words, if a snake gets into the pipe, it can easily crawl into any room in the main building.
"It's a snake, and it's a poisonous snake." Guan Wen sniffed again, inhaled too much poisonous gas, and felt slightly dizzy.
"Sister Gu's judgment is really correct, Calle has raised a large number of poisonous snakes in this main building, which leads to the fact that there are no other creatures in the manor, and the lawn is completely dead. Moreover, before we arrived, he arranged for so many people to clean inside and out, which was to completely eliminate the traces of the poisonous snake's life. Okay, you don't move here, wait for my message-" T-shirt slid out against the door and disappeared into the corridor.
Guan Wen waited for a while, and finally couldn't hold it back, poked out half of his face from the door, and looked at the end of the corridor.
Baoling stopped at the door of the library, turned slowly, and walked in.
Guan Wen no longer hesitated, walked out of the room, leaned against the side of the corridor, and quickly approached the library.
"Turn her on, I'm sure you can do it." It was Calle's voice, clear and calm, unintoxicated.
Guan Wen was a little confused: "If the tomb robber Kahler can't do it, how can Baoling do it?"
Suddenly, all the lights on the top of the corridor were extinguished, and Guan Wen's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything, so he had to bow down and listen to the ground.
Later, a dim light came on in the library, possibly Calle lit a candle. The light flickered, casting the thin shadow of Bao Ling on the wall opposite the library, high and low, like a ghost.
"It's your dream, it's not about reality. Believe me, you will definitely be able to do it, you will definitely be able to open it, because the Xia Ri Palace Manor was specially left to you by the predecessors of the Kanna family, and I took so much effort to find you, invite you back, and arrange so many scenes, just to ask you to open it at this time. Don't delay, I know you can hear me, and I know you're eager to open it and see what's inside......"
Calle's voice grew lower and lower, and by the end he couldn't hear anything clearly.
Guan Wen was anxious and moved forward again. He was so nervous that he couldn't help but let out a gurgling sound in his throat, which immediately alarmed Calle.
With a flash of light and shadow, Kahler rushed out of the door, grabbed Guan Wen's collar with one hand, and forced the cold short knife in the other hand to stick to Guan Wen's throat.
"How are you? My soul transfer envelops the entire manor, but doesn't it work for you? But you're just in time, and if Miss Baoling can't open the white copper pillar, you might be able to help. Kahler smiled and dragged Guan Wen into the library.
At this time, Bao Ling stood in front of the globe shelf, and the sphere that had been cut in half was re-closed and placed on the shelf. On the next alcove, a three-pronged candlestick made of tin was lit, and the candle light was not too far away, only enveloping the area near the globe.
"Don't hurt her, she's sleepwalking, and if she has an accident, nothing can go on. Calle, you are only for the treasure of Mount Nisser, and you must not kill anyone! Guan Wen persuaded in a low voice.
He was sure that Bao Ling was in a strange sleepwalking state, and that she herself had been dragged down by nightmares for years, and this time she was living in a horrible dream of which era.
In fact, the real world is more terrifying than nightmares, and Calle has gone to great lengths to set up a trap to trick them into coming to the palace of Shari, and his scheming is chilling.
Calle had changed his clothes, and was wearing a wide black robe, with a high collar and a stiff wash, and eerily straight up. The black robe was tied around his waist, and at first Guan Wen thought it was a black and white belt, but later found out that it was actually a black and white live snake with a length of more than one meter.
"Don't worry, I won't kill her until this thing is turned on." Caleb stuck out his bright red tongue and licked his lips silently, exactly like the action of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter. Moreover, his eyes glowed with a faint green glow in the light, no different from a snake's eyes.
"Of course, if you kill her, you won't get anything, and your scheming will be in vain. If you are willing to stop, we can talk about it and resolve all the issues peacefully. Guan Wen's eyes swept over the window of the library, if Gu Qingcheng was really hiding on the eaves, he would definitely be able to hear his words.
