Chapter 38: Stones
Lie to us? What's the point of him tricking us into coming to this place?
I said, "Boss, what do they say?" ”
Tang Linlin shrugged: "Wait and see." ”
I didn't say anything, and I knew about what was going on. Although he temporarily turned me into a refining corpse, Zhou Xuanye didn't plan to use me as an old scalper, after all, the more I use it now, the greater the side effects after waking up. In order not to let me be paralyzed as soon as I woke up, Zhou Xuanye would not let me do it unless necessary, so he let me stand in the treasure room to rest, and several people decided to go to the front to explore the way first, but who knew that they encountered the red thing again.
Under the weakness of parrying, Zhou Xuanye summoned me with a corpse bell, but who knew that I woke up in advance and was not controlled by the corpse bell, which was what happened later.
When I heard this, I looked at Jiang Xi who was leading the way in front of me, and I couldn't help but be a little guarded.
What is the purpose of this man? Is it all a coincidence, is it our bad luck, or is it deliberately designed by him?
At this time, the surroundings were unusually quiet, Tang Linlin walked on my left hand side, looking around vigilantly, we paid close attention to the red things in the brick joints, and the embankment would suddenly come out and sneak attack. It was pitch black, and the lights were shining around, so you couldn't see the end or what it was. As far as the eye can see, there are only green bricks on the ground.
The red things in the cracks of the bricks on the ground, after being silent for a while, began to be restless, and Jiang Xi reminded us, saying, "Be careful, this thing is likely to be the legendary flame bone." ”
Tang Linlin came to her senses and said, "Flame bones? What a strange name, this thing is like jelly, where does it look like bones? ”
Jiang Xi didn't look back, and said: "It's a very poisonous thing, it is said to be boiled out of the bones of dead people, and the resentment is extremely heavy." I'm not from the Judicial Church, so I don't know how to refine it, but I've heard of it. Once you are entangled in this thing, it will be difficult to get out, and after a long time, it will squeeze the prey alive to death and digest it completely. The more living creatures you eat, the bigger they grow. ”
I hear my scalp tingling, boiled out of dead man's bones? The flame bone we saw before was very large, so it must have eaten a lot of living creatures? It seems that over the past few hundred years, this place has broken into many outsiders, eighty percent of ...... It's all swallowed up by this thing. ”
Tang Linlin immediately said, "How to deal with them?" We can't pee right now. "Speaking of peeing, my crotch is wet now, subconsciously, I went to look at Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye's crotch, but unfortunately they were wearing black pants, so I couldn't see anything famous, but Tang Linlin saw it and pinched my arm.
Jiang Xi didn't reply, and said, "The best way to deal with the flame bone is salt." ”
It's salt again, do all the people in Yumen have an enmity with salt?
Where do we find salt now? The only salty thing on my body is probably my body that hasn't taken a shower for a few days, but if this little salt is useful, then the burning bones won't dare to swallow us. When they were depressed, everyone continued to walk forward under the leadership of Jiang Xi, and after walking for about ten steps, a gray white suddenly appeared at the end of the flashlight.
This color, in the pitch-black environment and the blue-black floor tiles, is particularly eye-catching, and it catches everyone's attention in an instant. I took a closer look and found that the gray-white in my sight should be a natural stone, very large, and it was more than ten meters away in front of us.
On the surface of the stone, there are many reliefs, standing in the distance can not see any clues, close to see, only to find that this is the carved thing on the stone, but not the poor carvers we saw before can be compared. There is a huge tree carved on it, the giant tree has branches and no leaves, and the branches are impressively green mountains, green water, yellow sand and blue sea, there are all kinds of rare birds and beasts, and there are all kinds of strange flowers and plants, as if all the scenes between heaven and earth are condensed in this tree.
I only know that the ancients believed that the heavens were round and the earth were round, but I have not heard of it, and they believed that the world was born from trees.
The whole stone is very huge, Zhou Xuanye probed around, only to see that its length is about ten meters, and the height is four or five meters high, and the end of the stone is embedded in the blue bricks of the wall, and the bond is very tight. The whole stone carving, the process used is quite cumbersome, just I know, there are bas-reliefs, deep reliefs, openwork carvings, and openwork tops, and there seem to be signs of round carvings.
Even people like me, who don't understand art, also feel that the craftsmanship on this stone has a really touching beauty, and for a while, everyone is a little stunned. The plants on the landscape are big and small, the more you go up, the smaller it is, some are as big as the car cover, some are as small as the jujube pit, and the thousands of customs are condensed, and it is difficult to look sideways.
The first to react was me, for no other reason, because I had been refined before, and my potential was exhausted, and then I tossed again, and then I suddenly relaxed, and my body was like a melted popsicle, and my legs were weak, and I fell to the ground as soon as my buttocks were sitting, and I couldn't help but say 'ouch'.
This voice brought Tan Jian and the others back to their senses, and Zhou Xuanye saw my situation, and immediately squatted beside me and said, "You need to rest for a while." ”
"Brother Zhou, should you pull out those wedges on my body?" It didn't feel like it was stuck in the flesh, but it still didn't feel good.
Zhou Xuanye was silent for a moment, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "The time has not yet come." ”
"Timing?" Tang Linlin was very dissatisfied with the fact that I was being used by Zhou Xuanye, and said: "What time do you have to wait, Zhou Fox, do you want to use him again!" "The title of Zhou Fox, Tang Linlin is secretly called, at this time, it is estimated that he really cares about me, and he is upset for me, so he shouted out without words.
Zhou Xuanye didn't say anything about this, but Tan Jian snorted coldly and glared at Tang Linlin, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while. The four of us, except for Tan Jian, have always been fighting and making trouble on weekdays, and Zhou Xuanye is also a person without a fight, so this kind of embarrassing atmosphere is really the first time I have experienced it.
Zhou Xuanye followed Tang Linlin's words, and his face also showed guilt.
I felt that I couldn't go on like this, so I said, "Linlin, I know you are thinking about me, but I did this voluntarily...... Although nominally we are colleagues and subordinates, I have always regarded you as friends in life and death. Brother Zhou and the boss saved me from danger several times, and you ...... If it wasn't for you last time, I would have been killed by the people Fu Nan was looking for. I'm actually quite glad to be able to save you this time. ”
Tang Linlin almost cried when she heard this, and said, "Every day, you are also my best friend." ”
Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye fell into silence, knowing that after Tang Linlin finished speaking, Zhou Xuanye said to me: "You will wake up suddenly, in fact, it is beyond my expectations, this should be related to the fox fairy." I'm not sure what you'll become if you undo alchemy now. The current situation is too critical, if you can't act on your own, I'm afraid that if something happens at that time, it will be difficult to take care of you. ”
Suddenly, I understood what Zhou Xuanye meant, that is to say, I can walk and run now, which is quite light, because the corpse control wedge is still there, but if this thing is pulled out, it will be difficult to determine what kind of situation I will be. But according to Zhou Xuanye's previous words, it is possible to lie down for a year and a half, or to be paralyzed and die early.
The current situation is obviously not suitable, and everything can only be said after leaving this ghost place.
Immediately, I nodded and said nothing more. In fact, I am very bottomless in my heart, and anyone who knows that he may become crippled in the near future will not be able to calm down. But at this time, I can only force myself to composure, and at this time, showing panic and fear will only make the people around me more uneasy, and it will not help me.
Zhou Xuanye's expression was full of guilt, and he was ridiculed by Tang Linlin, but he didn't refute a word. In the end, Zhou Xuanye's hand on my shoulder squeezed it hard, his expression was very solemn, and he said, "Tiangu, you are not my friend. ”
"Huh?" I was stunned, and I felt like I was being slapped in the face.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuanye said: "I have a lot of friends, you are my brother, I have only one brother, that is the turtle hair, and you are the second." When he said this, there was not the slightest hint of joking.
Tan Jian, who was standing next to him, said lukewarmly: "It's very cheap to have a brother like you, but I admit it." ”
Suddenly, a hot current surged in my heart, and I was about to open my mouth in excitement, when Jiang Xi on the side spoke: "Have you finished your meat?" Come over when you're done, there's something behind the stone. ”
The four of us looked at each other, and finally got up, walked to Jiang Xi's side, and began to concentrate on studying the huge stone embedded in the wall.
What's behind it? How did Jiang Xi know? Can he still see through?
