Chapter 114: The Pagoda
Wang Er looked at the sky and interjected: "There is still a difference. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe sky here is a little darker than the one in our ghost, not very refreshing, I don't like it. ”
Liu Pei also felt uncomfortable, although there was also a ghost aura lingering around his body, but it was too stuffy.
Zhou Ning looked up, but saw that it was not dark, but a thin layer of black miasma around him. The strange thing is that the ghost qi in this miasma is very strong, and the demon qi is a little weak. But Zhou Ning looked around, there were neither woods nor ghosts around, and he really didn't know where these miasma came from.
Maybe it's the formation that is pouring up?
"It's wicked." His neck was sore, and he didn't see where the miasma was coming from, so he had to give up, and then lowered his head and walked around looking for a passage to the underground.
"Do you really want to dig a hole and take a look?"
As he walked, he took out the shovel that Wang Er used to plant grass and trees from the ghost, and then from time to time he shoveled a shovel underneath. When Liu Pei saw it, he couldn't help but sigh with his forehead: "Master, it's wrong for you to do this." ”
Zhou Ning looked up at him and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Pei pointed to the pit that was shoveled by him and immediately covered with quicksand, and analyzed: "You shovel here and there with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and you are just digging a hole in the skin. Those demon cultivators are also flesh and blood, and if they want to walk under the sand, they should at least have a passage, right? It's better to stare at one place and dig to the bottom. ”
Zhou Ning thought for a while, and finally said, "You are still smart." ”
Then he thrust the shovel into the ground and dug up at his feet with all his heart.
Wang Er and Liu Pei didn't dare to look at it, and they also took tools from each other to help each other.
The sand on the surface is loose and easy to dig up. It's just that these quicksands are a little annoying. They were digging here, and the quicksand around them quickly collapsed. Liu Pei and Wang Er helped to make the pit bigger and transport the sand to the side. But I didn't expect that the sand was like flowing water, and if there was less here, it would be replenished immediately. In this cycle, they will never be able to dig to the end.
"!" Zhou Ning was tired of sweating, and when he saw this, he threw the shovel, and immediately attracted a water dragon to come out and smashed a big pit at the excavation place.
There was a little brown snakeskin-like thing at the bottom of the pit, Zhou Ning saw it, and was about to continue to smash it down, but unexpectedly, the pit only appeared for a moment, and after a while, it was buried again by the wet or dry quicksand!
Zhou Ning's heart was angry, and he angrily smashed several water dragons out.
Probably by the sea, although it was in the formation, although it was surrounded by yellow sand, Zhou Ning attracted the water dragon without much effort. Probably a little angry, he was eager to vent, and one after another water dragons were attracted by him, just like he had dug a pit, smashing on the sand from east to west, and soon a large piece of sand was wet.
The loose sand is soaked with a large amount of water and becomes compact and heavy. Liu Pei and Wang Er, the two ghosts, were inevitably affected, and they floated into the air early, silently watching their masters go crazy.
It's just that as the scope of those soaked sand areas slowly expanded, Liu Pei suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and let out a "huh".
"What's wrong?" Wang Er asked curiously.
Liu Pei did not answer Wang Er immediately. His fluttering soul body swam in mid-air, and his eyes were focused and serious, as if he had come across some treasure that was about to be decrypted, and something was wrong with the whole ghost.
Wang Er followed behind and watched, but saw Liu Pei going left and right for a while, floating high for a while, and falling very low for a while. After following for a while, Wang Er was completely stunned.
"Master, don't smash it yet, there is a situation." After Liu Pei floated around, he returned to Zhou Ning's side and said seriously: "I really want to find my way in." ”
Zhou Ning only lost his temper and vented slightly. But this temper rises and goes quickly. Hearing Liu Pei say that there was a situation, he immediately stopped, and asked happily: "Really?" Where? ”
Liu Pei said: "You come up and take a look." ”
Zhou Ning saw that he was serious, so he withdrew his hand and flew into the air. He couldn't see anything when he was in it, but when he stopped in the air and looked down at a large area of sand, he finally found the clue.
I saw that on the yellow, orange, and orange desert, there were a lot of uneven marks. It was a mark left by him after the sand collapsed after wetting it with water. And this seal is not flat, but section after section, as if it was printed by someone with a mold, and it is very regular.
"What is this......" He looked at the angular protrusions that appeared at intervals, and wondered, "Could it be the skeleton of a great snake?" ”
As he said this, he poured water on the sand that had not been wet.
As he deliberately made up for it, an extremely long and regular bulge gradually appeared on the sand. At first, Zhou Ning still wanted to see the end of this picture, but after taking care of one thing and the other, this side was poured through, and that side dried up after a while, and the pattern gradually disappeared, so he stopped.
"Leave it alone." He thought for a moment, returned to the end where the eagle had sent it in, and poured a large amount of water on it.
The pattern with sharp edges and corners, and even the color can be shown, made Wang Er's eyes dazzled.
"What the hell is this?" He asked.
Liu Pei pondered: "It looks like a tower lying across the ground. ”
"Really?" Wang Er looked at it but didn't feel like it: "Why do I feel like a house?" It's also a bit like a skeleton. Especially at the middle point. ”
Zhou Ning jumped down from the air, shoveled the wet sand aside, and dug it in a short time.
But it's not necessarily true that this is the bottom of it, because it's just a paved thing underneath, and it looks like a layer of snakeskin.
"Snakeskin, is this thing worth anything?" Zhou Ning didn't have a special understanding of what is precious and what is cheap in this world, so he turned his head and asked Liu Pei.
Liu Pei shook his head: "I've never sold snake skin, I really don't know." ”
Zhou Ning touched it again, but felt that the feel was very rough.
"Do snakes have scales?" Wang Erdao: "This thing, the pattern on the body is so strange, I feel like scales, but I don't feel like it." ”
No matter what it looks like, Zhou Ning has to go underground to explore. After pouring all the patterns at the entrance into the mouth, he snapped his fingers, kicked the bulge under his feet, and said, "Let's go in from here." Come on, dig! ”
probably had a clear direction, and with Zhou Ning pouring some water from time to time, this time he quickly dug out the hole.
I saw that the huge hole was buried under the yellow sand. At the top of the cave is a slightly raised statue of the head of some animal. The statue has a nose and eyes, and the hole is black, and the top is also hung with jagged sharp stones, which looks like the mouth of a giant beast, so that people dare not drill into it.
"It's too dark." Wang Er looked at it and couldn't help but say, "It's a little scary." This is tightly buried, is there enough oxygen in it? Won't suffocate us inside, will you? ”
Zhou Ning couldn't help but knock on the other party, but because Wang Er's soul body was not condensed enough, he pounced. At this time, he was even more angry, and scolded Wang Er angrily: "Something that has no interest!" Aren't you a ghost? I'm afraid of the dark! Also, why are you a ghost worried about whether there is oxygen or not? ”
If you have to worry, let him worry about it!
After speaking, he waved his hand and said to Liu Pei: "You are an old ghost, you are definitely not afraid of these, then you lead the way in front!" ”
When Wang Er saw it, he muttered: "Obviously, you are also afraid of the master......"
Or don't you dare to get ahead?
But Zhou Ning listened to it, so he was scolded again: "You talk a lot!" If no one had called for this, I would have thrown you to the red lotus to make flower fertilizer. ”
He called a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall. Liu Pei and Wang Er are both ghosts, only he is flesh and blood, can he not be cautious!
After following Zhou Ning for a long time, Wang Er had already figured out what kind of character the other party was, so not only was he not afraid, but he laughed twice, and said cheekily: "Master, you are reluctant." After all, I'm so capable......"
Therefore, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Think about how humble and honest Wang Xiaoer was at the beginning, he has been by Zhou Ning's side for a long time, and he has become like this! Liu Pei sighed again, explained to Wang Er, and asked the other party to press the formation in the back, and then went around to the front and drilled into the hole alone.
It's like a direct transition from summer to late autumn, it's hot and stuffy outside, but after entering the passage, it feels a little gloomy, and the cold is like entering the cold storage.
The two ghosts were obviously very useful, and they couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
Zhou Ning took out a hard hat with a searchlight from the space, put it on the top of his head, and then asked Liu Pei and Wang Er if they wanted it, but they both refused.
Bringing a lamp is also a burden on their condensed souls. If you don't bring it, you will be light. Anyway, even if there is no light, they can see it clearly.
In fact, Zhou Ning can also have night vision, but he is still used to seeing things with his eyes, and night vision also consumes the ghost energy in the meridians, so he simply brought a searchlight into the passage.
A dark passage in the dark, neither can you see the road ahead, nor can you touch both sides. The ground under your feet is dry, and stepping on it is more like walking on brick ground than on sand or dirt. Although it was cold all around, there was no slippery feeling in the mountain road at all.
"What the hell is this place? Could it really be a fallen tower? Wang Er said in the back.
The two ghosts walked silently, so in the entire passage, only Zhou Ning's muffled footsteps were heard.
"I don't think so." Zhou Ning recalled the pattern that appeared in the desert: "It looks more like a big fish, dead in it." And how dry is the desert? Instead of rotting, it turned into dried fish. ”
Otherwise, how to explain those scale-like patterns. There is also the protrusion of the section, which looks like the skeleton of a big fish.
Wang Er thought back to the jagged rocks at the entrance of the cave and muttered, "It makes sense. ”
Liu Pei disagreed: "You just said it was snakeskin." Besides, how can there be a fish as big? ”
It's against the sea, but I don't guess so. Skeleton of a fish? Obviously don't want to?
Zhou Ning didn't raise his head, and joked: "Or a dragon." ”
Liu Pei said: "Even if it's a dragon." Dead are dead, even if they don't rot, they should collapse when they are pressed by so much sand and gravel. With those skeletons that are so far away, they will definitely not be able to hold on. ”
Wang Er groaned again: "It makes sense. ”
Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing: "Maybe this dragon is still alive." ”
Of course, he knew that his analysis was unreliable, so he made a joke. Although there is a snakeskin-like skin crumbling and a huge skeleton supporting it, even flesh and blood can't support such a heavy pile of sand and gravel, right?
How do you know that Wang Er took it seriously, and said in fear: "Then aren't we throwing ourselves into the dragon's mouth?" ”
"Hahaha!" When Zhou Ning heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed indulgently: "It's too late for you to regret it." Why don't I take you into the ghost right now? ”
The laughter spread a little far, but it brought the dreary atmosphere to life a lot.
"Master......" Liu Pei said helplessly: "We are here to kill demons and cultivate." They are so powerful that we'd better hide in the shadows and defeat each of them. What if you laugh so loudly and lure them all over? And your light, it's better to turn it off too. ”
Zhou Ning immediately stopped laughing, turned off the lights, and whispered: "You also saw it above, this passage is very long." It's been a long time since those demon cultivators came in again, and we don't know how long it will take us to run into them. ”
said so, but he also felt that what Liu Pei said made sense, so then he restrained himself a little and easily stopped laughing with Wang Er.
Just walked forward in a straight road, and I don't know how long I walked, Zhou Ning actually touched the stone wall on the side.
It turned out that they walked a little obliquely, and they couldn't see it when they were short distances, but after a long distance, they were a little off to the side.
After looking closely, I realized that there was a wall made of blue bricks in front of me.
"Could it be that it's really a pagoda?" Zhou Ning asked Liu Pei softly: "But what are the snake skins and phosphorus outside?" Whose pagoda still has a layer of snake skin on it? ”
Liu Pei was also puzzled, so he could only reply: "Those demons must know!" Why don't you wait until you catch one and then ask? ”
Zhou Ning thought about it, nodded and said, "It's all about this." ”
When you walk against the stone wall, your sense of security will increase a lot. Zhou Ning's tense heart relaxed a little, and he walked a little slower.
The walls of the green bricks have no patterns and look monotonous. After walking for a while, Liu Pei suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wait, there is a door." ”
Zhou Ning didn't have to worry about it next day, he immediately turned on the searchlight and looked forward.
"It's still a stone gate." Zhou Ning stepped forward to take a look, and said in a thoughtful manner: "There must be a mechanism or formation!" Otherwise, those demon cultivators would have destroyed this stone gate a long time ago, and they would still be able to close it tightly for us? ”
Wang Er said, "So, do we have to find a way to break the formation or unlock the mechanism?" ”
This was not his strong point, so he immediately looked at Liu Pei. (To be continued.) )
