Chapter 53: Changing Face
I was talking to Jiang Xi, Tang Linlin was woken up, and when she saw me wake up, she hurriedly surrounded me and looked at Jiang Xi with some vigilance: "What do you want to do!" Jiang Xi ignored her at all, glanced at it and walked to the stone gate, not knowing what he was thinking.
Without waiting for me to speak, Tang Linlin lowered her voice and said, "Not long after you fainted, he forcibly searched our bodies, and he searched out the locks." Then I realized that this man didn't have a good heart at all when he saved us before, he saw us break out of the chain array, and suspected that we had locks on our bodies, so he took us all the way. ”
When I heard this, I had been wondering for a long time before I figured it out, and I was speculating about the reason for the change in Jiang Xi's attitude before and after, but now it seems that he has already been eyeing us.
For a while, I didn't know whether to admire him or scold him, this person's scheming was too deep.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Tang Linlin said again: "You had a high fever halfway through and almost died, and then that fox fairy saved your life again, otherwise you would have ...... at that time."
Fox fairy?
This surprised me a little, because Zhou Xuanye warned me that the more often the power of the fox fairy wakes up, the worse it will be for me, I didn't expect that in the process of my coma, there was such a thing, but why didn't I feel it?
As if knowing what I was thinking, Tang Linlin looked hesitant, but still said: "Every day, you have to hold on, I'll show you something, don't be too hit." As he spoke, he took out a portable mirror from his equipment bag and handed it to me to take a photo.
Suddenly, in the small round mirror, a face that I was familiar with and felt unfamiliar with was reflected.
It was my face, but at this moment, the eyes that should have been black were leaking a strange dark blue, and the corners of the eyes were hanging, looking very evil. I am obviously expressionless, but the face reflected in the mirror gives people a rather evil and weird feeling, not that it is ugly, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts at a glance.
I suddenly remembered the scene that happened to the old man Fu back then, it is said that when I was just born, my face was also quite weird and evil, plus from time to time Xiao An had to come to 'take care' of me, and many supernatural events happened, so thinking about it, he threw me away at that time, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible, because I am now frightened by myself. I felt a little hairy all over my body.
Tang Linlin looked at me with a complicated look, slowly put away the mirror, and said, "Later, your fever automatically subsided, and the injuries on your legs recovered a lot...... No wonder I feel that my body doesn't seem to be as painful as it was at the beginning."
After a pause, she suddenly asked again: "Are you still every day?" ”
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, that is, uncomfortable and helpless, to be honest, when I saw the strange face in the mirror, I had a sense of who it was, especially when I looked at the blue eyes in the mirror, I seemed to see the eyes of another creature.
Am I really still me?
Yes, definitely!
At least I didn't feel like anything had changed except for the face that I wanted to twitch at the first glance, so I said, "Yes." ”
She showed a relieved expression and said, "Great...... I simply don't know what I'm going to do if something happens to you. If we came together, we will go back together! I nodded, "Gotta find a way to open that stone door and find the hub of the whole mechanism." ”
Tang Linlin said in a deep voice: "Do you really believe that there is a hub there?" He's already lied to us more than once. ”
I shook my head: "I don't know, but do we have any other options now?" With just the two of us, we can't get out. However, since he came to the secret palace to seize the treasure, he definitely didn't want to die here, and we had a way out with him. ”
Tang Linlin gritted her teeth and said, "I really want to have high heels to blow his head." ”
I said, "You can't just be happy for a while, just bear with it." Tang Linlin nodded and didn't speak again. At the moment, although I am in a better situation than before, I am only the tallest of the short, and it is still difficult to move at this moment.
I didn't want to sit still, so I gritted my teeth and stood up with Tang Linlin's support, and walked to Jiang Xi's side, that is, under the big stone door.
The stone gate is gray-white, tightly seamed, and not even a single hair can enter in the middle, and the craftsmanship is quite exquisite.
In the center of the stone gate, there is a triangular flower-shaped groove, and the inside is covered with things of different sizes, like brain lines. This should be where the lock of the stone door is. I had heard Jiang Xi casually mention this kind of mechanism before. This is not just a simple lock, but under the groove, there are many precision iron leaf springs, which can measure the weight of the lock. Once it is light or heavy, it cannot be opened, and may even trigger some assassination mechanisms.
With this layer of protection, those who want to open the stone door must get the original lock, otherwise even if you know what the lock looks like, make one as it is, but without the corresponding weight, or the material is not used correctly, it is in vain.
We only have two in our hands at the moment, and the third is in the hands of the head of the Yumen family, obviously, if we use normal methods, we will not be able to open the stone gate.
Jiang Xi put his hands around his chest, his black braids hanging down behind him, and stood there by himself, giving people a feeling of being out of place.
In this world, there may always be some people who seem different, but this part of people happens to have things that most people don't have.
I don't know what kind of person Jiang Xi is, after all, I don't get along deeply, but I know that this person must have one thing in his heart, and this incident must have a very deep impact on him, because when I saw him for the first time in prison, I felt lifeless and suppressed emotions that were difficult to express.
Perhaps it is because of these things that his personality has become strange and unpredictable, but even if I am curious, I can only be curious.
After a while, Jiang Xi said: "It would be nice if there was **." ”
Tang Linlin said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Where to find **. ”
Jiang Xi didn't speak, but pressed his hand against the stone door, and the muscles in his arm bulged, obviously pushing in. This action is naturally futile, if you can push it away, what else do you have to lock it for. This should just be a subconscious action of Jiang Xi.
After pushing for a while, he seemed to think of something and said to me, "Call out that little imp you raised." ”
Call it out again?
I became vigilant and said, "It's too weak to come out again." "At the beginning, Xiao An was slashed by Zhou Xuanye with the Si Ghost Sword, although he was injured at that time, he was still in human form when he came out, and then there was only one head left, and when he came out for the last time, even his head began to become blurry.
I don't know what Jiang Xi's plans are, how he wants to use Xiao An, but if he lets it out again, the consequences will definitely not be light.
Jiang Xi frowned and said: "Let it observe the situation behind the stone gate, study the direction of the inside of the stone gate, as long as it is figured out, give me a certain amount of time, it can also be opened." ”
I said, "No way. ”
Jiang Xi said: "Then you want to wait for death here?" Or do you want your other two companions to die here too? Maybe...... They're dead. ”
"Shut up!" Tang Linlin shouted angrily and said, "You think you are the Lord of Yama, you will die if you say death, Zhou Fox and they must still be alive!" "Although this girl usually greets Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian's ancestors over and over again behind her back, she still has one heart at the critical moment.
Jiang Xi didn't pay attention to Tang Linlin at all, and only said to me: "A little ghost, and a few lives, you should know which is more important." ”
"Of course I know, but I can't let it die, I believe in my two bosses, and I believe that we can get out on our own."
Jiang Xi let out a light snort and said coldly: "Daydreaming, do you believe it or not, I can send you two to the West Heaven immediately?" ”
"I believe it." I said, "But if you want to send us to the western sky, you must also pay the corresponding price." Tang Linlin pulled out the dagger, like a cat with fried hair, her eyes condensed on Jiang Xi, her body was obviously tense, ready to go, and she looked obviously desperate.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xi didn't know what he was thinking, so he changed the topic and said, "It's just a little ghost, is it so important to you?" This kind of imp catches a lot of it outside, and among the little ghosts, female ghosts are preferred, and the yin and evil qi are also the heaviest. This little male ghost is useless, and he has already been wounded, and when I get out, I can catch a little female ghost for you. ”
Xiao An, who was hiding in the god seat, suddenly shouted: "I'm useful!" Don't catch a little female ghost for your brother! "But this time it didn't come out, it is estimated that it is weak to a certain extent, and it really does not dare to come out.
I touched the god position, soothed it, and said, "I don't raise ghosts to borrow power, so there is no difference between male ghosts and female ghosts for me." I raised it just because, it's my big brother. ”
"Big brother?" Jiang Xi's expressionless face showed a frowning expression for the first time.
I said, "It's my eldest brother, who died young, and I can't use it." ”
Jiang Xi probably saw my determination, but he just glanced at the divine position in my hand and didn't say anything more.
Xiao An saw that he would not be dragged out, so he whispered to me: "Brother, I can tell stories, don't throw me away." ”
In order to take care of the self-esteem of a ghost, I said, "Your story is very good, and if you are still alive, you will definitely become a writer." ”
Xiao An thought about it and immediately said: "I can also become a writer now, and I will write stories when I go back, and you have to send me 'manuscript incense'." ”
...... "I'm really shooting myself in the foot."
