All Chapters_Chapter 171: Cher
I was stunned and looked at the stone pillars around me again, but I didn't see anything unusual for a long time.
As I walked inside, I asked the little girl in my mind, "Do you know what these stone pillars do?" How do I feel like a Taoist circle? ”
But the little girl didn't answer my question, but urged me to hurry up. I had no choice but to speed up my pace and walk deeper into the stone henge.
After about two minutes, I walked to the middle of the stone formation, and in front of me was a small altar, which was not very large, only one floor, but it was densely engraved with words and symbols, and I was a little dazzled just by looking at it. These things are different from the runes I usually use when I draw sigils, and they are more secluded and ancient.
I swallowed dryly, and saw that on each of the four corners of the altar stood a stone statue of a general, each of whom had a sword of the same shape in his hand, and they were all wearing armor, with their chests held up, and their eyes were glaring, and they looked very majestic.
But what caught my eye the most was that in the middle of the statues of the four generals, and at the center of the altar, there was an ancient sword. Half of the blade of this ancient sword was not in the altar, and only half of the sword body and hilt were on the outside, and with the exposed part of this ancient sword, I could tell that the stone sword held by the statues of the four generals was made by imitating this ancient sword.
I took a deep breath, this should be the eye of the entire stone circle, all Taoist circles will have an eye of the array, and this eye will generally hold the most important things of the entire circle, according to the different things placed here, the power and effect of the circle will also change accordingly. It's just that I don't know who arranged the stone circle in front of me, and I don't know what the purpose of the magic circle they spent so much effort to arrange.
At this moment, a phantom figure floated out of my body, turning into a little girl in a golden robe, this little girl was only three or four years old, but she was very cute, but she was frowning at the altar in front of her, and her face showed a rare trace of confusion.
"What's wrong? The sword in this altar is what you're looking for? I asked, but found that the little girl's gaze was not on the ancient sword in the center, but at a statue of a general in the lower left corner of the altar.
My heart throbbed, and it seemed as if I wanted something to happen next. I thought about it for a while, walked a few meters away, found a flat place to put down Li Xiaohui on my back and Yaoyao in my arms, and placed the two girls, but I turned around and saw that the little girl had floated in front of the statue of the general, her expression at the moment was a little complicated, and she stretched out a somewhat transparent hand, as if she wanted to touch the statue made of stone.
I frowned and stepped forward, this little girl has been very strange since she entered this woods, constantly urging me to move forward, but after arriving at this stone henge, she has no interest in the ancient sword that is obviously a treasure, but looks at a statue in a daze, which can't help but make me feel very confused.
I walked up to him in a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything strange about this statue?" It's weird for you to be like that. ”
The little girl didn't answer me, but murmured in a low voice like a dream, "Cher and Katsuyuki's brother ......"
What the?
Brother Katsuno?
I was struck by lightning, and I felt my muscles tremble uncontrollably. I was horrified by the name the girl shouted, a name that was a nightmare to me.
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I kept comforting myself, I must have heard it wrong, or maybe this little girl called it wrong, how could there be such a coincidence in this world.
But when I followed the little girl's gaze at the stone sword in the statue's hand, I could no longer deceive myself with words, and at this moment I felt that my whole life had fallen into a chessboard, and no matter where I ran, I could not escape the traces left by him.
On the hilt of the stone sword held by the statue of the general was engraved a line of small characters, the font was traditional Chinese, but I could still see the meaning of the inscription at a glance, and I read it word by word with a trembling voice.
"Cher and Katsuyuki's brother are here for a visit."
And under this line of small characters, there are also two full-body portraits of figures, this is a man and a woman holding hands, and a name "Xue'er" is engraved on the woman's body, and on the man's body is clearly written "Chen Shengzhi"!
My eyes widened, my throat rolled, and my head was clouded.
Chen Shengzhi!
Sure enough, it was him again, and although he was my ancestor, I was very afraid of him. He is like a ghost, and there seem to be traces of him in every place I have experienced, starting from Tsing Yi Village.
I sat on the floor, rubbing my swollen temples, but my mind remembered the origin of the little girl in front of me. If I'm not mistaken, she's called Cher, the thing that exists in the third red can.
I recall that six years ago, when I first entered the Spirit Hall, Master once said to me that the contents of this third clay pot were different from the others, it was a special existence sealed by our twenty-sixth patriarch, and when the time came, it would naturally be opened, and it would also be the time when the contents would be seen again. And my grandfather once said to me that when a child with the mark of a phoenix bird is born, it is the time when our Chen family's plan begins.
The same three hundred years, the same related to Chen Shengzhi, if all this is a coincidence, I am afraid it can only deceive children. But if it's not a coincidence, it's a game, an artificially laid game, from Ruochu to Yin Shuang, and then to Xue'er in front of me, these three people who are inextricably linked to Chen Shengzhi continue to appear in front of me, what is the purpose behind all this, or rather, what does the person behind it want me to do?
"Brother Katsuno......" The little girl was still floating in the air, calling in a low voice, and the expression on her face became more and more confused.
I was bold and asked the little girl in front of me, "Are you Xue'er?" Do you remember what happened now? Who is that Chen Shengzhi, do you remember clearly? ”
I looked at Cher with burning eyes, wanting to get some important news from her.
But to my disappointment, the little girl named Xue'er shook her head, the confusion on her face gradually dissipated, turned into a puzzle, she said softly: "I don't know, I just feel so familiar here, I feel like I've been here before." ”
Xue'er reached out and stroked the words and patterns on the statue, and whispered to herself, "Xue'er, is this my name?" It's just that what is the relationship between Chen Shengzhi and me, why do I feel so painful when I mention his name. ”
I sighed helplessly, this Xue'er's state is very weird, and even I still can't tell what kind of existence she is, the evil breaking charm and the exorcism charm are ineffective against her, which proves that she is not a soul body at the moment, but if it is not a soul, what is it? Not only can I move back and forth freely in my body, but I also have a clear mind, and although I have no memory, I have the ability to think like a normal person, and I have never heard of the existence of this state.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find a clue, so I could only put this problem down for the time being. I glanced around, because it was an open space, the brilliant moonlight and starlight illuminated the place brightly, although it was not as good as the daylight, but it was also very clear.
I took a few steps forward, walked up to the ancient sword in the middle of the altar, and looked at it carefully. This ancient sword should be some years old, it seems to be made of bronze and other materials, and the hilt and blade still have a thick layer of patina, which looks very dilapidated.
But I have a very strange feeling in my heart about this ancient sword, the magic circle around it is made of countless round stone pillars, it should have taken a lot of effort, although I don't know what kind of effect this magic circle has, but it is absolutely extraordinary, and the ancient sword that is the eye of the formation in this magic circle cannot be just an ordinary mortal thing.
I couldn't help but remember the feeling I had when I first entered this stone henge: here, no ghosts and monsters are allowed to approach!
I swallowed, felt some itching in my hand, and involuntarily stretched out my right hand to touch the ancient sword covered with patina.
Just as my right hand touched the hilt of the sword, a burning sensation came from between my fingers, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly withdrew my hand. And at this time, because I reached out and touched the hilt of the sword, the ancient sword in front of me also began to change.
Laugh at!
The layers of patina covered by the ancient sword emitted a crimson glow, and began to peel off in pieces, which reminded me of the changes that occurred when Sun Wukong touched the Dinghai Divine Needle in the Dragon Palace in Journey to the West.
The patina fell, revealing the crimson blade and hilt underneath, and the sword light flowed brilliantly.
I clearly saw that there were two ancient bird seal characters engraved on the hilt of the sword, which was an ancient script, which was the common script used by Wu and Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"But evil!"
