Chapter Twenty-Three: Five Letters
After exiting the entrance, you will come to a large cave-like room. It was very empty, and to my surprise, there were many glowing fluorescents floating in the air in front of me, flowing back and forth, like fireflies that I usually see.
At the foot of me and the fat man, there is a depression in which there are many stones, which may seem ordinary, but you will be surprised to find that there is some light on their bodies.
Look! The fat man standing next to him pointed to a place next to him, as if he had discovered something, and walked forward unnaturally. Looking in the direction pointed by the fat man, it was a seemingly ordinary wall, but the difference was that there seemed to be something carved on the wall, and it was not very clear because of the distance.
When I walked over, I found that there were five English letters carved on the wall, namely: w, h, z, y, k. Looking at the smooth grooves of the letters, it is obvious that they cannot be naturally formed, if a person intentionally carved them, then what does he want to do?
I thought that my eyes unnaturally shifted to the stones I had stepped on before, and perhaps the seemingly ordinary stones had an inexplicable relationship with the letters on the walls. It always felt so wonderful, I tried to crouch down and swept my eyes straight into the pile of stones, but before I could find anything, I only heard the fat man shout at me in exclamation: "Xiao Ke, look, there is a letter w on this stone."
Isn't it really what the fat man said? The fat man who followed me, I don't know if it was luck or sharp-eyed, suddenly found a strange one in a pile of stones. To say peculiar, it is because on this stone, there is a clear capital letter: w. Looking at the five capital letters carved into the wall in front of him, and then looking at the stone in the fat man's hand, there must be an extraordinary connection between the two.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I took the stone with the letter w in the fat man's hand, and as soon as I walked over it, and leaned against the wall in front of me, the stone in my hand first became agitated, and then suddenly emitted a huge heat that I was out of my hand for a moment, and the stone fell straight to the ground.
The stone that had fallen to the ground did not subside because of it, but it shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually, it turned into a pile of sand and the letter W carved on it began to stick towards the wall like a fluttering musical note.
In an instant, the letter W suddenly appeared in the wall, and suddenly a light shot out of the wall, and the fat man and I couldn't help but take a step back outside. "Looks like we want to find the five letters in order to make some special changes to the wall," I said, my gaze wandering back to the stone. It stands to reason that the previous letter w was found on the stone, and the others should also have a deep connection with the stone.
With a hint of luck, I pushed towards the many stones, my eyes were constantly swimming back and forth, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and with my efforts, I finally found the second stone with letters, only to see that the stone was engraved with the letter H. When I turned around, I was surprised to find that the fat man was already standing in front of the wall, and there was an extra stone in his hand. When I got closer, it turned out that the sharp-eyed fat man had already found a third stone engraved with z.
The three English letters have been embedded in the wall, everything seems too simple, is this the tribulation set by the predecessors for the future, is it a little too easy? I thought of it like this, saw the fat man looking at me with blank eyes, and saw that I was about to walk back to the depression, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Ke, the remaining two letters are not in the stone pile, I have been looking for a long time just now, but I have not found the remaining two."
What the! I didn't expect the fat man to say that, I exclaimed, and then froze on the spot, it seemed that the tough challenge was really coming. According to the fat man, where will the letters be if they are not in the pile of stones? I looked at the fat man with an uncertain gaze, and before he could speak, the fat man nodded, "I'm sure I'm right."
Finally, I still had some confusion and slightly swept the stones in the depression from beginning to end. After reading it all, I was surprised to find that, as the fat man said, those two letters were not on the surface of the stone at all, and it would not be said that they were easy to find like the previous three.
What is not done by human means can only be solved by non-human means. Thinking about this, my eyes couldn't help but fall on the jade pendant hanging around my neck. I have been unmanifested jade pendant for a long time, and it is time to help me in this difficult moment.
I took out the jade pendant directly, I was very distressed in my heart, the jade pendant didn't react at all, did I let me burn all these stones with fire? At this time, the jade pendant suddenly and inexplicably emitted a green light, and then under the surprised eyes of me and the fat man, I suddenly saw that the stone with a trace of light became transparent. The fat man and I swept around, and unexpectedly found that in the pile of stones, the stone with the letter R engraved was pressed straight underneath. When I picked it up, I suddenly realized that the so-called r letter was inside the stone, and now it can be seen because the stone is transparent. Without the help of the jade pendant, it would be difficult to find the letter hidden in the stone among the thousands of stones.
As the light of the jade pendant dimmed, the surrounding stones returned to their original shape. I carefully took the stone to the side and walked straight towards the wall, which needed to be used to get it out.
The stone against the wall repeats the previous scene. Gradually, the letters that turned into sand and were hidden in the stone were reflected in the walls. Four of the five have been found, and the last one is missing.
So where will the remaining letters be hidden? Will it be hidden in the stone again? None of this is known, but I'm sure it's in this room, and it's all around us, but we don't pay much attention to it, maybe we see it, and we don't think about it. The fat man sitting on the ground, with his hand on his chin, looked listlessly ahead, his hand touched the little fluorescent in the air, and said without a word, "What do you say is this fluorescent thing floating in the air?" I can't touch it, but I can't touch it, but I see it clearly with my eyes."
When I woke up the dreamer, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and the mystery was about to be revealed. (To be continued.) )
