Chapter 55: Flower Field
After the stone wall was raised, Qu Yue never heard a sound from outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She touched the wall like Bai Su.
The wall was indeed solid, and the stones had a cold chill on them, and a layer of water vapor had condensed on the surface, and they were wet to the touch, cool and slippery.
The chill went straight from his fingertips to his heart, and Qu Yue shivered and retracted his hand.
The size of this stone chamber is not very large. The walls are made of dark stones, which makes the place look very dark and makes people feel a great sense of oppression.
In the corner is a small stone coffee table, with a stone pier on each side of the coffee table.
Nothing else.
She walked over and sat down on the stone pier next to the coffee table.
The surface of the coffee table is engraved with an even grid, and the edges are polished, as if it has been used as a chessboard for a long time.
However, I didn't see where the pieces were.
Qu Yue, this girl, was not in very good health, and she has been tossing and choking for the past two days. At this time, I found a safe place to rest, and my spirit, which had been tense, instantly relaxed.
She wanted to take this opportunity to sort out what she had encountered in the past two days, but within three minutes of sitting down, she quickly felt a heavy sleepiness attack.
Her mind was confused, and after yawning a few times, she involuntarily lay on the coffee table and closed her eyes.
She didn't sleep well.
The temperature in the stone room was too low, the stone piers and coffee tables under her were too hard, and the posture in which she fell asleep was a little awkward.
There was also a vague and chaotic dream that always tormented her.
In her dreams, she was constantly running, through the darkness around her, but she could not find a single light.
She couldn't see the scene in front of her, and she didn't know why she was running. It's just running mechanically in such a place where there's nothing, and you don't even know where your destination is.
Until she was woken up by a low sob.
It stands to reason that people who sleep for a while when they are tired will wake up feeling much better. But when she woke up this night, not only did she not feel refreshed, but she felt even more tired.
My head hurt, and my temples on both sides jumped as if they were about to explode.
The arm that was pressed underneath was also numb.
The feeling of exhaustion from running in her dream did not subside after waking up, and it continued to torment her fragile nerves.
When she first woke up, her mind was full of "buzzing" sounds, and she thought that the cry she heard was an illusion in a dream. After a while, when her ears were a little better, she heard the low cry again.
It sounded like a girl's voice, and it was a little hoarse when it came out of nowhere, as if the crying person was trying his best to suppress his sadness.
In this place, hearing a woman's cry is obviously not a normal thing.
In most ghost stories, it's like this, and a crying woman eats people as soon as she turns around.
Qu Yue listened to it with fear for a while, but the position of the voice never changed, and it seemed that he had no intention of coming.
She cautiously walked to the wall where the voice came, took a deep breath, reached out and knocked on the wall bricks, and dared to ask, "Who is crying?" ”
The crying paused for only a moment, then began again.
A chill rose in Qu Yue's heart, and she took a few steps back, away from the stone wall in front of her.
But the cry still lingered in her ears, like a fluffy kitten's paws, constantly stirring her heart and arousing her curiosity.
Who is the one who cried? What happened to her? Why does it sound so sad?
How far is she from here? What's behind this wall?
Qu Yue is usually not a very curious person, but for some reason, she cares a lot about this matter.
After listening to the crying for a while, she finally mustered up the courage again, stood by the wall, and asked loudly, "Hey! Is there anyone over there? Why are you crying? ”
The crying stopped again.
This time the pause was a little longer than the last time, until Qu Yue began to get a little impatient, and then heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the wall.
"Yueyue! You're Qu Yue, right? ”
The voice on the other side of the wall sounded ecstatic: "I'm Ning Ning!" ”
"Ning Ning!" Qu Yue exclaimed and subconsciously covered her gaping mouth.
Although the voice on the other side sounded hoarse and almost inaudible, she still recognized the other party - it was Zhao Xinning's voice.
She came back from the shock and clenched her fist and tapped the stone wall in front of her: "Ning Ning, what are you doing over there, what's wrong with you?" Is there any danger? ”
Zhao Xinning was silent for a moment before comforting her in a dumb voice: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
How could it not be worried!
After smashing the wall in vain for a while, she finally gave up on the impossible and sat down against the wall with her knees crossed.
"Ning Ning, after that day, I've been worried about your accident, you know?"
She rested her head on her knees, letting her tears fall in large drops, and her voice trembled: "I...... I was really scared at that time, so I left you and ran away alone, don't you give birth to me, okay? Can you forgive me? ”
"How could I be angry with you?"
Zhao Xinning's gentle voice came, with a certain reassuring aura in his tone: "I asked you to run, it's too late for me to be happy when you listen to me, how can you be angry?" ”
"But I really ......"
Qu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, stuck to the wall and whispered, "I'm really worried about you!" Are you okay now? ”
"I'm fine, would you like to come and have a look."
Zhao Xinning's voice sounded understated, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her: "If you come over and I'll accompany you, you don't have to be so afraid?" ”
"Huh?"
Qu Yue was confused for a moment before she realized what this person meant: "Oh, yes." But how am I going to get there? ”
"If you want to come, you can come."
Zhao Xinning asked cautiously, "Do you want to come over?" ”
Qu Yue nodded firmly, and then thought that the other party couldn't see her movements at all, and shouted loudly: "Go!" ”
"Then you wait a minute."
Zhao Xinning was quiet over there for a moment, and reminded her again: "You stay away from the wall." ”
Qu Yue took two steps back slightly, staring at the wall in front of her, feeling like her heart was going to beat out of her throat.
A small cracking sound came from the stone wall, sounding like the sound of fine sand falling to the ground.
Ten minutes later.
Qu Yue looked at a one-meter-high round hole in the wall in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and mustered up the courage to bend down and drill over.
The other side of the wall was much brighter than the previous stone chamber, and her eyes ached when she poked her head out of the way.
"Ning Ning?"
She wiped her uncontrollable tears because of the dazzling eyes, squinting her eyes and searching for the person she was looking for in a red light: "Ning Ning, I'm here." It's so bright here, I can't see clearly, where are you? ”
"This way...... I see you, just go ahead and I'll hold you when I get there. ”
Zhao Xinning's voice sounded much clearer than before, and it seemed to be very close.
Qu Yue squinted her eyes and groped her way forward for a while, and finally touched Zhao Xinning's hand stretched out to her.
By this time, her eyes were much better, and she could barely see blurred things.
In front of her were large patches of delicate greenery, about knee-high as she was, and the tops were covered with small red fruits, bright and lovely.
The red light emanates from the fruit.
And Zhao Xinning sat in the middle of this plant, tilting his head and smiling at her.
"Ning Ning!"
Qu Yue pounced on her excitedly: "Are you okay, how are the injuries on your body, what happened after that night?" Those people...... Those things didn't take you well! ”
While asking eagerly, she took the initiative to reach out and grope around Zhao Xinning's body, looking for the terrifying wounds in her memory.
Nothing.
The skin on Zhao Xinning's body was smooth, not to mention the wounds, and there were no scars.
"Ning Ning, your injuries are all healed!"
She smiled happily, withdrew her hand, and secretly distanced the two of them a little.
When she first learned that Zhao Xinning was still alive, she was so happy that she didn't even have the extra time to think about the authenticity of this matter.
In the ten minutes she waited for the stone wall to disappear, she calmed down a little, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.
How can someone who is injured like that still be alive? Even if they were alive, I don't know how far away the place where they had an accident that day, how could a seriously injured person come here by herself.
If someone else brought her, who brought her?
There were all kinds of terrifying speculations in her heart, and she pretended to be happy, and sat down next to Zhao Xinning's side.
She carefully kept a distance from Zhao Xinning that did not seem deliberately rusty, and did not stick close together, observing the surrounding environment.
"I don't know what's going on."
Zhao Xinning looked down at the palm prints on his palm, and muttered to himself: "I woke up from a nap and the injuries were all healed." ”
"That ......"
Qu Yue peeked at her face and asked in a low voice, "How did you get here?" ”
"That day, I thought I was going to die left and right, just worried about whether you would be okay. I was relieved to see you run away, and then I fainted in excitement. When I woke up again, I didn't know what was going on, and all the injuries on my body were healed. At that time, I saw that there seemed to be light on the top of the mountain, and I thought that someone lived here, so I followed the light to find it, and saw that the red light came from a cave, so I walked along the cave and walked, but this is only what I saw. ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the plants beside her, sighed, and suddenly became serious again: "And ah! Did you know Yueyue? When I woke up, there was no one around...... I mean, not even a single dead person. ”
Qu Yue glanced at her in surprise.
"There is no one, the car is empty, the driver's uncle, and the man from before are gone."
"Don't talk about it."
Qu Yue begged her with a crying voice: "It's quite scary just to listen to, I'm a little scared." ”
"I'm scared too!"
Zhao Xinning frowned, reached out and touched Qu Yue's chin: "Where do you guess they will go?" ”
"I don't know...... I don't want to guess either. ”
Qu Yue hugged her shoulders and shrunk herself into a ball, refusing to listen to Zhao Xinning's words again.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this!"
Zhao Xinning sighed helplessly, reached out and touched Qu Yue's hair and comforted her softly: "Don't talk about this, don't cry...... Let's talk about something else, do you know where this is? How did you get here? ”
"They say this is the Tomb of the Ghost King."
"This is the altar of the witch god, not the tomb of the ghost king, and certainly not the place where you living people should come."
At the same time as Qu Yue spoke, a man's voice also sounded at the same time. The voice sounded like it was coming from all directions, making it impossible to tell which direction the speaker was.
"Who!"
Zhao Xinning stood up abruptly and looked around nervously: "Who is talking?" ”
Qu Yue clenched his sleeve tightly, and even felt a slight pain in his wrist with such force.
This timid and sensitive, unworldly girl, after going through so many things, finally began to learn to protect herself and doubt others.
Whether it was Zhao Xinning in front of her or the man who just spoke, she didn't dare to trust anyone, so she could only cheer herself up.
"I'm the gravekeeper here."
The sound of the man's footsteps came from a certain direction, and the frightened two girls tensed their bodies, looking at the slowly approaching figure in unison.
It was a tall man. From a distance, he could only see a glowing object in his hand, and when he walked in, the two girls could see his face clearly.
This person is not bad-looking, and he is wearing a set of ordinary T-shirt and trousers, but he is wearing a bit of an international supermodel.
He had ice-blue eyes, and the silver lantern in his hand made him look less like a human.
It's like a demon knocking on the window in the middle of the night in the middle of the night.
It's a pity that it's a man.
Qu Yue stared at the man who was getting closer and closer, and somehow a glimpse of the surprise before entering the stone room appeared in his mind.
Bai Su's back is also the same as the man in front of him. Although they are exquisite and impeccable, they exude a strong alien aura that can distinguish them from other humans at a glance.
"You said this is an altar, not the tomb of the Ghost King, so why do you still call yourself a tomb keeper?"
Zhao Xinning grabbed Qu Yue's arm, dragged her to his side, stretched out a hand in front of her, kept a safe distance from the man, and asked him loudly.
"An altar is an altar, and a tomb is a tomb. Although the last Witch King died, his soul did not go away, and he remained in this altar. When a human dies, if the soul does not go where it should be, and the body is destroyed, the soul will be damaged. Lord Witch King didn't want to go, so I had to move his body here, **** guard his coffin, don't be remembered by those thieves. Therefore, this is both an altar and a place for the Witch King. ”
The man walked slowly as he spoke, as if he saw the defensiveness in the eyes of the two girls, and he slowed down and took the initiative to distance himself from them.
There was a silver flame burning in the "lamp" in his hand. Where the fire shines, large areas of plants on the ground quickly wither, turn into clouds of dark dust, and fall to the ground with a "flutter".
Qu Yue vaguely smelled the smell of burnt meat.
"You'd better not stand in there, if those things hurt and scared, they could kill you at any time."
The man said slowly, and stretched out a hand at Qu Yue: "Come here, stand behind me." ”
Qu Yue looked back at Zhao Xinning beside him in annoyance.
"We can do it in the past, but you have to make it clear what you want to do first!"
Zhao Xinning hugged his arms and raised his chin arrogantly at the man, looking at him with ease.
Qu Yue, who was standing beside her, clearly felt that her calves were shaking involuntarily.
"I'm going to burn this filth."
The man raised the silver lamp in his hand slightly, and nodded at Zhao Xinning: "Also, I'm talking about letting the little girl next to you come over, without your ......"
As he spoke, he took a few more steps forward, and the distance from Qu Yue was less than five meters.
The plants withered and turned to ash in patches under the silver light, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the space.
"Because to me, you're just as dirty as they are."
The man only took one step, crossed a distance of several meters, and stood directly by Zhao Xinning's side. The one he held up approached her face, stared at the pure black eyes, and said word by word.
He pushed Qu Yue behind him and held the lamp in front of Zhao Xinning's eyes.
Zhao Xinning let out a terrible scream, and countless thin black cracks quickly appeared on his face.
