CHAPTER XLVI
I see
Finally, Fang Xin finally opened his eyes. I haven't moved much, but I feel like I'm up and down, and there's no place where I don't hurt. He screamed a few times, but there was no sign of improvement.
'Damn, you're finally awake, but you're terrifying us.' Fang Xin woke up, and the first thing he heard was Ruan Xiaotian's insensible words.
"It's not your fault, he's hurt like that, and you still have to shake him deadly.'" This is Liu Ting's voice.
Next, it was Ruan Xiaotian who said: 'Damn, if it weren't for me, would he have woken up so quickly?' He has to thank me, doesn't he, Fang Xin?"
'Alright, alright, don't be arguing.' This is the voice of Teacher Hu Jie Hu. Then, Fang Xin saw a very handsome, young woman's face leaning over, and asked with concern: 'Fang Xin, how are you, are you okay?'
Fang Xin moved hard, feeling much better, and then he had the energy to look around.
Around him, a crowd of people surrounded him. There are Liu Ting, Ruan Xiaotian, Du Zijuan, Jingzhi, Hu Jie and Shen Kuo. Fang Xin sighed, they were all there, it seemed that he had a dream just now.
Wait, Shen Kuo? What I saw just now is really Shen Kuo?
Fang Xin sat up reflexively, startling everyone else. Fang Xin sat up straight, and his gaze immediately turned to Shen Kuo's direction. He wanted to prove that what he saw was not an illusion. Because he remembered that they hadn't found Shen Kuo yet. Why did Shen Kuo wake up and be by his side, isn't this a dream?
But when he saw Shen Kuo really standing in front of him, his mind hadn't turned for a while. Out of nowhere, he said, 'Why are you here?'
Fang Xin's memory was still left in that dream-like phantom, in his opinion, Shen Kuo must have died in battle. How could he stand in front of him in a good manner, could he also break through? But I remember that I didn't seem to have escaped victoriously.
Just as he wanted to ask something more, he saw Shen Kuo smile at him and said, "I'm not here, where else can I be?" You don't think I'm really killed in battle?'
What does he mean by that? Could it be that everything that happened just now is real? Did you experience it yourself? That's!
At this time, Ruan Xiaotian came up with a smile and said, "Damn, you won't really forget everything, right?" Come on, come on, I'll tell you the truth.'
However, Fang Xinyi raised his hand, pointed at Hu Jie, who was closest to him, and said, "No, Teacher Hu, you tell me, what happened." The others were all snickering to themselves.
Ruan Xiaotian's face darkened suddenly, and he angrily stepped aside, leaned against a pillar, and sat down. His mouth was still muttering: 'Damn, what a person. The guy who has weak legs when he sees a beautiful woman, and when he finds Xiaoxue, he must let Xiaoxue give you some color.' Except for the stomach full of complaints, Ruan Xiaotian really has nothing to say.
After relaxing, Hu Jie asked, 'You...... I really don't remember anything about it?'
Fang Xin didn't relax because of their laughter, he said solemnly, "I just remember that I felt like I was sucked by something. And then...... Then...... 'Fang Xin didn't want to tell what happened to him just now, so he said again: 'It's better for you to say it first!'
Hu Jie said, 'After we saw you fall, we rushed down as soon as possible. But on the next floor, we didn't find you. We were panicked and panicked. Later, we found out that there was also a hole in the floor on this floor. Moreover, the hole with the previous layer is almost perpendicular to it, in a straight line. So, at that time, we wondered if you had fallen to the next level.'
'Wait.' Fang Xin suddenly interrupted Hu Jie's words and said, "What about that head, have you seen that head?" Hearing Hu Jie say this, Fang Xin remembered some details. Good guy, that big man who looks like Zheng Chuchen can actually smash two floors of one person. You can imagine how powerful he is. If it really falls into his hands, it is strange that he will not die! No wonder that hapless soldier had his face covered in blood and only half a life left.
Hu Jie was puzzled when she heard this, and she asked: 'What, what head?' Fang Xin, what are you talking about?'
'No, nothing. You go on and say, what's next.' Fang Xin immediately realized that something was wrong, and vaguely prevaricated.
Hu Jie then said, 'When we came to the next floor, we saw you at the bottom of the cave. At this point, you're in a coma. We don't know how much you've been hurt, and we don't feel like touching you.' As she spoke, she looked at Ruan Xiaotian. The meaning of this is very clear, and no one else dares to move Fang Xin, except for Ruan Xiaotian.
However, Fang Xin's gaze turned to Shen Kuo. What he wanted to know was how Shen Kuo appeared here.
Seeing Fang Xin looking at him, Shen Kuo said, "At the same time they found you, I saw me. for I am lying not far from you.'
'But you ......'
As soon as the words were spoken, they were stopped by Shen Kuo raising his hand. He then said, 'Don't ask me why I'm in a coma here. Because, I don't have an answer either.'
Sighing, Shen Kuo said again: 'After falling into the lake, I quickly lost consciousness. When I woke up, I saw them, and I was confused, and I didn't know what was going on. However, from your words, I seem to hear that you and I both had the same dream.'
'What?' Fang Xin stared at Shen Kuo in surprise, and there was no lying expression on his face. Could it be that he and himself really experienced an unforgettable nightmare? So what about Xiaoxue, isn't she the same.
Thinking about it, Fang Xin began to look for Xiaoxue. After looking around, he didn't see Xiaoxue's figure. That said, Xiaoxue is not here, and they haven't found her yet.
'What kind of dream, what are you two talking about?' Liu Ting asked curiously.
Fang Xinyi waved his hand and did not answer Liu Ting's words. Instead, he asked, 'Wait, how long have I been in a coma?'
Hu Jie thought about it for a while before saying, 'From you falling, to us finding you, to Ruan Xiaotian shaking you awake. Well...... At most, it will be about ten minutes!'
'Ten minutes, how is that possible?' Fang Xin recalled carefully, after he fell into a coma, he entered that dreamy, but real world, before and after, adding up, at least two or three hours, how could it only be ten or so minutes. Could it be that my judgment of time has been skewed? But this is too outrageous!
'It's only ten minutes.' Hu Jie affirmed, 'At that time, we didn't know how badly you were injured. No, fortunately, Shen Kuo woke up soon. And he said, "You are about to wake up." We didn't believe it at first, but you woke up very quickly.'
Listening to this, Fang Xinhu looked at Shen Kuo again suspiciously. So far, he still didn't believe that Shen Kuo would have the same dream as him. Because, even he can't tell which is real and which is illusory. If it is really as Shen Kuo said, does it mean that Xiaoxue and Zheng Chuchen also had the same dream.
So, he asked Shen Kuo, 'You mean, you and I had the same dream?' Then you must know the specific situation, tell me, what is all this?'
Shen Kuo thought about it, as if he was phrasing. Then he said, 'I don't know exactly what happened. I only went in a while before you, and I didn't know much about it.' After a pause, he continued, 'Do you remember that legendary treasure?' As far as I know, they took the treasure with them, and with the most powerful instructions of their emperor, they trekked through mountains and rivers to the ancient town of Dividing Water. Soon, the group discovered a secret in the watershed. And this place is what they think is the best place to hide their treasures. However, in that mysterious area, a group of ancient peoples lived. And the ancestors of this nation can be traced back to the era of prehistoric civilization 10,000 years ago. After the failure of the negotiations between the two sides, war is inevitable. At the time, for the people who lived almost in seclusion. In the face of advanced foreign forces, they have no ability to resist at all.'
Shen Kuo said a lot, and in Fang Xin's opinion, he was in a fog and completely confused. He said, 'You mean to say that what we are experiencing is a war between them?'
'Specifically, it should be the last war.' Shen Kuo said, "It is also the most tragic war. The war was almost unwon and almost all of them died. That's probably one of the reasons why the treasure has become a legend!'
'So, who is that woman who resembles Xiaoxue?'
If I am right, the woman is the high priest of that people. It could also be their princess, or a queen. In short, her power should be considerable.' Shen Kuo continued, "What you saw at the time was a sacrificial event before they went to war. It is to pray to their gods and bless them to win this war.'
Fang Xin wiped his face and said, "But they still lost, and the boat that I was on with that woman seemed to have been sunk at the last moment."
'No, no, no.' Shen Kuo waved his hand and said, 'On the contrary, the princess is not dead, she is the only one who escapes. Unfortunately, since then, she has lost her home and lived a life of displacement.
'Is she alone?' Fang Xin asked rhetorically.
Shen Kuo frowned and said, "Do you remember the four old men standing behind the princess?" Seeing Fang Xin nodding, Shen Kuo said again: "They are the priests of that nation. You see, in ancient times, in some places, the power of the priest was second only to that of the emperor. Or rather, the ruler of power. Strangely, the four old priests did not die, but were captured alive. It gives me the feeling that the four old priests seem to have some secrets. Or rather, there is something about them that the intruders need so much that they don't die.'
Fang Xin hesitated: "What you said is true?"
Shen Kuo had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head and say, "This is just my personal conjecture. However, even if it is a conjecture, it is not far from ten.'
'What about you?' Fang Xin remembered something again, and he asked, 'Are you dead or not, I mean at the time. I can see that Zheng Chuchen is very fierce, and you don't seem to be his opponent.'
Listening to Fang Xin's words, Shen Kuo smiled: "If I hadn't died, how could I wake up so quickly.'"
'What, you're saying that you only wake up when you're dead?' Fang Xin was taken aback, his eyes widened and he said, 'That is, I also died on that boat?'
Shen Kuo continued to smile and said, "You misunderstood, I said that from beginning to end, it was just my personal conjecture. Whether that's the case or not, I'm with you.'
'It's weird indeed.' Hu Jie also said, 'It stands to reason that this is a wooden sacrificial tower, and it will catch fire when it encounters fire, so how can it only burn the building.'
'What do you mean?' Isn't it nice that the tower wasn't burned!' Liu Ting asked suspiciously.
Fang Xin, with the support of the two beauties, found a fairly clean place to sit down. He also looked at it carefully before he said, 'There may be only one reason for this result.'
'What is it?' The four women asked almost at the same time, but they startled themselves. You look at me, I look at you. At the end, they all laughed.
Fang Xin didn't laugh, he said: "The reason why the warriors of that nation were all wiped out is not because of their poor combat effectiveness. Instead, they put the protection of the sacrificial tower in the first place. Don't forget, we only found about 100 coffins in the tomb in Taihu Bay. In terms of numbers, it's a big difference.'
Fang Xin's guess was not unreasonable, and everyone had no objections.
At this time, Ruan Xiaotian suddenly said: 'Damn, there seems to be a bright light outside. Who wants to go out with me to see it?'
At first, no one paid any attention to him. After a while, Jingzhi and Du Zijuan still followed out curiously.
Looking out through the dilapidated door, there was indeed a little light outside. Not particularly bright and looks a bit like moonlight at night.
The inside of the main hall was much darker, and the four oil lamps could not illuminate the whole hall. A huge part of it is drowned in darkness.
And it is in this invisible darkness that some dark shadows stand out. In less than half a minute, in the darkness, countless black shadows appeared densely. These shadows, at first glance, look very human-like.
'That'...... What are those?' Liu Ting pointed at the black shadow in a panic, and the person had already hidden behind Shen Kuo.
Fang Xin also forgot the pain on his body and stood up, looking at those black shadows.
Finally, in the midst of their anxiety, the dark shadows came out of the shadows one by one. When they are exposed to oil light, everyone can't help but sigh. Because those were none other than the dried corpses they were familiar with.
'With so many dried corpses, what do they want to do?' Hu Jie's heart was also uneasy. I don't know what the purpose of so many dried corpses suddenly appeared in the road.
Shen Kuo was relatively calm, he said: 'Don't you have to be afraid, can't you see it? These dried corpses have no ill will towards us, otherwise we would have been their target long ago.'
Fang Xin also said: "These dried corpses should be the soldiers who were burned alive in the main hall back then. So, we are not their enemies. Not only should they not be enemies, but they should be friends.'
Fang Xin's words were not unreasonable, from all the previous indications, those dried corpses would not hurt them.
Shen Kuo stepped forward and faced the dried corpses, and he said, 'You guys...... Is there something wrong?'
Actually, Shen Kuo also asked casually. He didn't know if the corpses would understand him. He'd never had any dealings with the corpses before.
The corpses seemed to understand, and they reacted. I saw hundreds of dried corpses, all of them stretched out their dry arms, and pointed out the outside of the main hall in unison.
Everyone turned their heads and looked out the door. I don't know what the dry corpses are referring to.
And it was at this moment that everyone heard a familiar voice. I heard Ruan Xiaotian shouting outside the door: 'Damn, you guys come out quickly, I have found Sister Xiaoxue!' (To be continued......)
