XIII. Aqurib

"So?" I gritted my teeth and stood up, and the voice in my ears really disappeared inexplicably. "But what is the land of Jaba?" I wondered.

"It is a person's name, in ancient times, there was a stockade on the border of heaven and earth, and there was a well-known stringer in the stockade, named Zhiba. Since childhood, he has loved strings, and as long as he has leisure, he will take out the strings to pluck. Gradually, he became proficient in the seventy-two tunes of the strings, which were pleasant to the ear and could play the songs of birds and beasts, the wind and rain, and the joys and sorrows of the girls, and became a famous string player in this area. As soon as he played the strings, the girls would stop their needlework and listen, and the birds would stop their melodious chirping and fly to visit. In the music field, as long as he plays the strings, people will dance more happily. However, after getting married and starting a family, he could not spare time due to the heavy housework, and the miserable livelihood made him unable to straighten his waist, so he hung the string high on the wall and never played with it again. Asuke walked up behind my back and pressed my bandage and said to me.

"Story?" I frowned and moved, "Did you need to poke that deep just now?" I said angrily.

"Why not, you don't know how terrible this place is." He said apologetically, "Still, it's a bit heavy." ”

"Nonsense." I scolded, "But you know, I really want to hear about the peculiarities of this place." ”

"Hmm," Asuke nodded, "One evening, as I passed by the lawn surrounded by ancient trees, I heard the sound of strings and shouts. The strings ring, the foot pole itches. He walked involuntarily to the lawn, only to see that it was empty. There was nothing, only a myriad of music that seemed to come from the sky, but he thought that he was tired for one day, but he heard it again and again on the second and third days, until the fourth day, when he stayed in that place for a long time, and after a while, a hat floated down from the sky. ”

"Hats?"

"That's right, did you think of those coveted hats, but that's part of its origins. When he came back from his work and passed by the lawn, he heard the sound of strings rattling again. He plucked out his ears and heard it clearly, the man was playing the strings, the woman was clapping his face and dancing happily to the "four-character cavity" music! Unable to resist the temptation, he walked to the lawn and saw that there was no one. Feeling very strange, he went home and took off the strings on the wall, wiped the dust from them, and walked out the door. When his wife asked him what he was going to do, he only replied that you don't care. He went to the lawn and danced around the lawn with the strings he listened to. "Why are you late?" He heard someone ask him, and all he said was that there was something going on at home. "Then why don't you bring your hat?" Hearing the voice, he continued to ask, and then he brought the hat he had picked up to his head, and suddenly a miracle came and saw a group of handsome young men playing strings and dancing with a group of beautiful girls in neon clothes and feathers. ”

"Hallucinations?" I asked, "So it also means that you can see the gods with a straw hat?" ”

"Yes, after that the man named Zheba disappeared into this place, and people never saw his voice again, and then everywhere there would be people who seemed to hear the sound of the seventy-two tunes, so those who wore straw hats also claimed to be from the heavenly shrine, and they were the ones who could communicate with the gods."

"If I've been obsessed with this place, I'll disappear into this world in this voice and the apparition I just saw? What about you? Why are you okay? I wondered.

"Look at my hands." Asuke rolled up his sleeves, only to see a long bloodstain slicing through it shockingly. "I only thought of this when I saw that corpse, but I was relieved that you were gone."

"Forget it." I didn't care so much, I turned and walked towards the temple.

"Why did you just go in?"

"Hmm." I nodded, "I saw something in the environment before, I need to certify it, it stands to reason that the environment here will be left behind, right?" ”

"I don't know." Asuke shook his head and said to me, "I don't know why you think that. But I don't know much about the intimacy of this, and when I heard the sound in my ears, I immediately retreated, and only felt it to save you until I cut my own hand. ”

"It's not that I'm just wondering, why would I see a similar and real scene in the environment?"

"Real?" Asuke seemed a little interested and asked me with a smile, "What do you see?" It won't be a woman bathing. ”

"Get out." I smiled and scolded, men are like this, after a few struggles, they don't need any words as if they were brothers, and at the same time, the way of dialogue has changed a lot, and there is no more caution and politeness before, although I don't know Asuke's past and his deeds, but after all, it is his business, but because he dared to cut his hand in order to save me, I have no doubt about him, I know that pain, every time I feel hallucinations, he is desperately pressing his wounds, The blood was already soaking his sleeves by this time. I think it's better to get into the temple as soon as possible, because there are so many variables in this place.

"A person's name." I replied briefly, and then pushed open the temple door, "Aquribu." I said, and looked inside the temple with my flashlight.

The inside of the temple is pitch black, directly opposite is a colossus statue of the gods, this time it is not a sentence, but a god I don't know, below the statue, there are rows of stone tablets, the stone tablets are engraved with people's names, I walked through one by one to see, it seems that this is the name of the previous masters, I didn't look at these more, take a flashlight and look around, this area can be seen everywhere in the small niche-like caves, they are not deep, each niche is squatting in a corpse, They sit with their knees crossed and their eyes closed, with their right foot pressed slightly down on their left foot. Raising the sky with both hands seemed to be fixed to the upper part of the niche rock, and one by one the sitting corpses of these mountains were scattered all over the top of the semicircular firmament, looking down on the intruders below them like a god. Although there are no eyeballs in their eyes, it does not prevent them from staring like falcons, because their mouths and eyeballs have been replaced by a piece of jade the size of a thumb, which shines brightly under the light of a flashlight.

"Are those of the ages?" I looked up to look further, but it was replaced by endless darkness, but vaguely above it was a funnel-like ceiling, a beamed ceiling, crisscrossed like a spider's web, and the dense beams were full of bells.

I looked at everything around me with my heart, but I didn't care about Asuke behind me, and after a long time, I saw that he didn't react at all, and looked back, and found that he was still stunned. "What's wrong? Not up yet? Why have you been getting stupid lately? "I didn't pay attention to him, I just said a word to him and continued to look around." Those corpses are your Duoya, haven't you been looking for them? But the way they sit is really weird. "I walked around the stone monument. The sitting posture is very weird, the cross fork with both feet is originally sitting for immortals, and it is one of the meditation sitting postures of most immortal cultivators, but immortals pay attention to up and down, and heaven and man are in the first line, so they will not be so reckless. ”

After a long time, I still couldn't hear a word of Asuke's reply, and I became irritable, "I said, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Aqurib," he said word by word, and I was immediately stunned.
