Chapter 53: The Golden Mask

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When I got here, I was stunned, and I didn't dare to take any further steps, but of course, it wasn't because of the fear I felt by the black figure cast on the bluestone floor.

I have concerns.

If the cave group on this cliff is the so-called last old man's cave, then if I enter the cave, will my body change accordingly? I don't want to find that my body starts to get more and more uncontrollable after I come out of that cliff cave, and finally becomes the appearance of Jiang Daolin, if I really become that appearance, I would rather choose death.

Bu Jin saw my concerns, she walked up to my side, and comforted me in a very gentle tone: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." ”

I was stunned, listening to Bu Jin's tone, she seemed to know what was inside this corridor, could it be that she had been here before?

Thinking of this, I couldn't control my mood anymore, I stood in place, grabbed Bu Jin's arm, and dragged her in front of me. Bu Jin seemed to be a little puzzled by my action, she frowned and looked at me, as if waiting for my inquiry.

I thought about it for a while, and finally asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”

I thought that Bu Jin would show a surprised expression after listening to my question, but I didn't expect that her expression did not have the slightest wave, and she replied in a daze: "My name is Long Bujin." ”

My name is Long Bujin? Hearing this answer, I really felt angry and funny, so I asked again, "Who is Long Bujin?" ”

This time, Bu Jin thought for a while and said, "Ashina's descendants." ”

I know that there is no end to such questioning, no matter how long it lasts. Looking at Bu Jin's beautiful eyes, the long eyelashes were flickering like two small fans, and at that moment, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.

I hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "We're friends, aren't we?" ”

"Friends." Bu Jin's answer didn't have any emotional overtones, and I don't know if she was affirming or just repeating what I said.

I didn't want to show myself cowardice, but I felt that there was something I had to say right now, and I asked, "You're not going to hurt me, are you?" ”

Bu Jin looked at me, her eyes showed some confusion, and it seemed that she finally had some reaction to what I said, she thought about it for a long, long time, but gave me an answer that made me want to die.

She turned around and said as she continued to walk forward, "I don't know. ”

I don't know? I don't know what kind of mood I felt when I heard such an answer, I felt very helpless, smiled silently, and finally took three steps and two steps, and followed Bu Jin.

The structure of this stone bridge is very simple, its interior presents a "A" shaped structure, and after the two of us cross the narrow corridor, we will come to a square space.

As soon as I entered, I found that the light inside was very bright, the walls around it were full of lanterns, and the space around me was empty, except for a man sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.

When I looked at the man, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and I saw that he was dressed in linen clothes, with his whole face away from me and Bu Jin, his hair tied into a bun, and he was sitting there in a Buddhist zazen posture.

Somewhat creepy, this guy looked like a living person from behind, and I seemed to be able to see his heavy, slow breathing except for his plump body and intact skin around his neck.

My heart tightened, and I didn't dare to take another step forward, knowing that in this kind of place, if I met a corpse, even if it was a zombie or a wild ghost, I would accept it, because it would be more commonsense, but if there was a living person here, it would be incredible.

Who is this person? Could it be that he is the Xuanyi man who appeared in my illusion just now, that is, the "person" who influenced the entire process of ancient Chinese civilization as my father said?

I don't know why, but I felt my heart beating fast, and a feeling of excitement or fear that I couldn't tell was taking over my body.

I was about to open my mouth to ask Bu Jin, but she made a silent gesture to me, and then, I stepped forward alone, bowed very solemnly to the person in the center of the ground, and then said a word in ancient Miao language.

This scene is very weird, the man is sitting on the ground, I don't know if he heard Bu Jin's words, after a while, there is a voice, but it does not come from the person's body, but it seems that the surrounding walls in the space where Bu Jin and I are suddenly sounded. The voice was like a whisper, with some breath, and it sounded very old and tired.

Then, just like that, Na Bu Jin and this person immediately started a conversation that I couldn't understand at all. Although I am speechless about this, it is not the first time I have experienced such a situation, and no matter how unaccustomed you are to it at first, the more times you repeat it, it will become natural.

Gradually, I have become accustomed to judging the meaning of Bu Jin's speech by the tone of my voice. It sounded like the two of them were arguing or arguing something, but one thing was for sure, Bu Jin was trying to convince the man.

What strikes me as a little unreasonable is that if that person is alive, then why doesn't he just turn around and confront Bu Jin face to face, but instead adopt such a posture of sitting cross-legged with his back to us? Cool? I shook my head, such a brain-dead thing is probably only Ryazan can do.

This debate lasted for a long time, and in the end, Bu Jin had no choice but to take out the jade plaque from his clothes, and by the light, I found that the jade plaque had completely turned emerald green.

This trick really worked, after Bu Jin took out the jade card, all the debates became smoother and smoother, and after another cigarette, the debate finally ended with Bu Jin successfully convincing that person.

Bu Jin looked back at me, and I found that her forehead was already oozing with sweat.

Bu Jin said to me, "He wants to see you." ”

Upon hearing this, I instinctively took a step back and said in surprise, "Look at me? What do you want me to do? I don't know him. ”

Bu Jin shook her head, as if because she had been debating with the man for too long just now, she showed impatience for the first time to my reaction, she stretched out her finger and pointed at the man, and said, "He won't hurt you, you can go." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although I was full of emotion in my heart, and I didn't want to take half a step forward at all, but sometimes, a man's courage is often increased several times because he has a beautiful girl by his side, and I don't want to be seen as a coward in Bu Jin's eyes.

I can be a weakling, but I can't accept my own cowardice.

"Okay, good, just take a look." While cheering myself up, I carefully moved my steps towards the man and said, "I'm a Northeast man, are you still afraid to see it, I don't believe how stumbling he can be." ”

As I spoke, I turned to the man's side. At this time, I was surprised to find that this guy actually had a golden mask on his face.

The golden mask was not large, only covering the upper part of a person's face, and it looked somewhat like Zorro's mask. Still, I always felt as if I had seen this mask somewhere before, and I must have seen it somewhere a long time ago, before I had experienced so many strange things.

For some reason, as soon as I found out that this guy was wearing a golden mask, I felt less worried and scared.

I walked directly across from him and stood there, looking at him, and his body was amazingly intact. This person, who is he, is he hiding in such a mysterious cliff cave in the primeval forest of Shennongjia, how many years has he survived here, is he immortal?

Countless questions rushed to my mind, and I became a little overwhelmed for a moment. But the man sat there motionless, his head slightly down, not looking at me at all.

I looked at Bu Jin helplessly.

Suddenly, another voice sounded on the wall of this space, and Bu Jin translated it and said to me, "He asked you to go in some more." ”

Walk a little closer. Damn, this tone is really like the scene when I met Ajuna in Yunnan.

Then, Bu Jin asked me to crouch down in front of the man.

I listened and gradually crouched down, but my nerves were still in a high state of tension, just in case something happened to pull my legs and run.

However, with this look, I was finally able to see the person in front of me clearly, judging from the physical characteristics, this person is undoubtedly a man, and this person's figure should be very tall.

But, to my slight annoyance, the guy kept his head down the whole time, not looking at me at all, and this time, I crouched down to find that through the hole in the golden mask, I was surprised to see that the guy was actually closing his eyes.

I looked at his undulating body, raised my head and was about to ask Bu Jin, but Bu Jin said directly to me, "Take off his mask." ”

"Huh?" I said, "That's ...... It's not polite, he seems to be asleep. ”

"Take off his mask." Bu Jin said to me almost in a commanding tone.

I'm a little dissatisfied, but think about it, since I've already come here, is there still a step left, and besides, I don't think Bu Jin will harm me.

After thinking about it, I shouted at the man twice and said, "Hey, hey? ”

There was no response, so I slowly reached out and reached for the sides of the golden mask on the man's face, and I was surprised to find that the mask was not even connected with any rope or hook, but it was firmly attached to the man's face.

My hand reached into the air, and I was suddenly stunned, and I had a bad premonition......

Damn, no matter how much!

I stretched out my hands and touched the sides of the golden mask, and suddenly, at that moment, the man's exposed mouth suddenly cracked and he laughed, and then, his two big hands quickly grabbed my wrists, and I screamed to run away, but it was too late.
