The sudden clump of things made me stop, and the clutter of the clumps shimmered red, swaying gently above the bridge—the red light flashed out, making the clumps look like several huge translucent red cocoons, the red light came from the inside of the cocoon, and through the cocoons, I could even see a few slightly wriggling shadows inside. The cocoon is still dripping with blood, hanging in front of our eyes, shocking.

The shadow in the cocoon squirmed at an increasing rate, and it seemed like it would break out of it at any moment. I looked left and right, and there was no weapon at hand, so I had to pick up my knife again.

However, with the appearance of these blood-red cocoons, from the darkness behind the small bridge, flashing green light came back and forth, dotted with stars, like wolves roaming in the wilderness of the grassland, staring at us in unison. My palms were sweaty, and I felt that these things were difficult to deal with, and if it were somewhere else, I would probably be looking for a way out before the crisis fully erupted, but at this moment, the things in the depths of the building have an irresistible attraction, no matter how difficult it is, I want to rush through.

"Don't, don't do it." Miao Yu grabbed me, she flashed and stood in front of me, facing those blood-red cocoons and the green light not far away, the slightly trembling cocoons suddenly stopped completely, and the green light swimming around suddenly stopped in place, they seemed to detect something from Miao Yu, I could only see Miao Yu's back, but I couldn't see her expression, she stood at the bridge, slowly waved her hand, and said, "Dust to the original, you all go." ”

I don't know why, Miao Yu's tone was full of sadness, that emotion seriously affected me, I stood behind me, and I couldn't help but want to cry. The cocoon that stopped trembling and the green light stopped for a moment, and the void seemed to erupt into a continuous cry, which was very miserable, and then, the cocoon slowly retracted back to the dome, and the green light was extinguished little by little, completely hidden in the darkness.

Miao Yu walked from the wooden bridge that was about to decay and collapse to the other side of the Blood River, I followed closely, when I walked across the wooden bridge and stood on the other side of the Blood River, Miao Yu slowly turned around, and I found that a few crystal tears had dripped from the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just feeling sad." Miao Yu wiped away her tears, smiled at me reluctantly, and said, "It's just unspeakably sad." ”

Her demeanor at the moment, as well as her expression, made my heart soften suddenly, and I couldn't help but recall everything she had done for me. It wasn't until this time that I really realized what it meant to be in love. I put aside all the distractions and worries in my heart, and hugged her very tightly. Her heart, and mine, seemed to be connected, and when I saw her crying, I was also depressed and painful.

"I can't give you anything." I hugged her, I could feel her soft body, and the warmth of warmth, she was very good, she was the same as Xiao Jiuhong, the person who was the best to me and did not want to repay the favor.

"That's enough, that's enough" Miao Yu shook her head at me, the tears she had just wiped away filled her eyes again, she was crying, but she was laughing again, crying sadly, laughing contentmently: "As long as you hold me like this, I am willing to die in your arms"

At this moment, all I can give is a tight hug, but it makes her extremely happy and satisfied.

I don't know how long it took for me to slowly let go of her, the road ahead was still dark, there was no end in sight, with this hug, we were a lot more intimate between us, she took my hand, and the two of them walked side by side towards the darkness in the distance.

It may be that the endless crises and turmoil that have emerged between this year have made me naturally develop a habit, no matter at any time, my heart will not really completely relax my vigilance, I bridge Miao Yu's warm hands, that feeling is wonderful, but still closely concerned about everything around at the beginning, I feel very unsteady, in this kind of darkness, the light of the flashlight can only illuminate a corner, in the corner where the light can not reach, I can often hear the light sound of squirming, always feel that something is going to suddenly come out, However, every time the sound flickered, it disappeared in a hurry, and fell into dead silence again.

I know that this is probably related to Miao Yu, who has a powerful and indescribable magic in the here and now, so that all crises and evil spirits dare not show their heads.

Although the old building was vast and magnificent, we walked smoothly and soon crossed the main road that led to the depths. I don't know how far I walked, but the light of the flashlight shone a row of heavy shadows in front of me.

The shadows all face the end of the building, kneeling to the ground, they have been dead for a long time, and they still remain on their knees, upright and meticulous. The flesh and skin on their bodies were long gone, and even the leather armor wrapped around them had melted as brittle as dust.

I gasped, because it was obvious from the posture of these figures that these people were kneeling and dying here, and they fell to the ground one step before they died, and until they died, they did not move their steps again, and did not change their kneeling posture at all. I can't imagine much perseverance and tenacity to do this.

"They're all dead on their knees?"

"Yes, to die on your knees, facing your own faith, your own gods." Miao Yu stood behind the row, but her eyes had already drifted to the front.

If I'm not mistaken, the place where this row of figures is facing is the end of the whole ancient building, that is, the deepest part. My heart was beating wildly, and I finally walked to the place near the secret, to the place where the thing was hidden. I looked desperately, shining the light of the flashlight through.

It's weird, the darkness at the end of the building seems to be impenetrable by light, and no matter how hard I try to look at it from this side, I can't see the slightest situation. Miao Yu led me through the row of kneeling figures. The figures knelt neatly, and in front of them, heavy stone knives and stone axes were placed. The crude weapons were stained with dried blood that could no longer be distinguished, and their black hair was heavy, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle, and these people hurried here, kneeling until they died.

By this time, even if I couldn't recall anything, even if no one had explained it, I could already see that the reason why these people were kneeling here was entirely because of that thing in the depths of the building. They died for it, without complaint. In front of my eyes, I can even think of the scene at that time: a burly and tall warrior wrapped in leather armor and covered in scars, here he fell to his knees, his waist straight, and his eyes were bloody and tearful.

"Let's go, it's almost there, it's almost there," Miao Yu pulled me, muttering to herself, step by step towards the almost impermeable darkness.

As the distance got closer, the light struggled to penetrate the tight darkness, as if walking in a thick fog. I saw a platform made of blood-red stone, about two meters high and four or five meters square. Behind the blood-red stone platform is the wide gable, which is the end of the building.

"What is this?"

On the blood-red stone platform, something was clearly placed. At that moment, my heart rushed into a roaring sea, completely unquellable, unable to describe my feelings at all, like one frenzy after another, hitting my heart and mind for no reason.

"That's it, it's on it" Miao Yu's expression was also a little sluggish, as if she blurted out a sentence, and when I asked again, she couldn't say anything. I took a few more steps, my steps heavy as a mountain, and with each step, it seemed as if I had to exhaust all the strength of my body, until I was only a few steps away from the blood-red stone platform, and I finally saw what was on it.

It was a thick, jet-black piece of wood, like a piece of Ugin, refracting bits of light in the light. The wood was like a whole tree, the roots of the tree had been cut off, and the branches and leaves had been cut off, and it was quietly placed in the middle of the blood-red stone platform. I looked at the black wood, and then I looked back at the row of people who were kneeling and dying, and it dawned on me that those people had died for this piece of wood.

"Do you recognize this? Is this a piece of black wood? I asked Miao Yu.

"It's not wood, it's not" Miao Yu's eyes were a little stunned, a little confused, and a little clear, her expression changed, she bit her lip, turned her head to look at me, and said, "This is not wood, it's a coffin." ”

"Coffin?" I was stunned, remembering some rumors I had heard in the past, on the big river beach, there had never been such a custom, but in the remote southern region, there was a custom of tree burial. That custom is ancient, and it was the prototype of burial before the funeral custom was fully determined.

"I remembered, I finally remembered" Miao Yu's mood was very unstable, she had already cried twice, but now the tears seemed to be unstoppable, falling downward, she didn't sob, but her eyes were red, biting her lips hard, and my hands were as cold as ice, and she seemed to be in extreme pain.

"What do you remember!?"

"I remembered what this place was, I know" Miao Yu closed her eyes, as if she was very reluctant to recall this past that she had just recalled, her voice trembled, and she trembled for a long time before she said: "This is the oldest Jiuli Hall of the real Jiuli Palace"

Jiuli Palace, the blood-red stone platform, the black tree coffin, a row of soldiers kneeling in front of the tree coffin all make me feel that those people died for the dead in the tree coffin, and the person buried in the tree coffin is an extremely important person, if I see him, what is hidden in my mind may be stimulated.

Who will be buried in the coffin? If I see him, can I really think of those lost memories of the past?
