"Chen Zixuan! What happened to you? ”

Teacher Jia saw that I was standing there in a daze after listening to his words, and he hurriedly asked.

I was startled, woke up from my thoughts, and said to Teacher Jia: "Teacher, it's okay, I just heard your words and felt a little touched, thank you." ”

Teacher Jia glanced at me and confirmed that I was not unusual, then nodded and said, "Well, I'll go over first, you don't stay outside for too long, go back early in a while." ”

I nodded slightly, and after seeing Teacher Jia go away, I sighed, found a big raised stone, and sat on it in a daze.

The evening breeze blew, taking away the tiredness on my body, I looked at the Tsing Yi River splashing waves from time to time in the night, I don't know when a touch of sleepiness began to rise, my eyes were a little unable to open, and I actually fell asleep on the stone.

I don't know how long later, I felt a little cold on my body, and when I opened my eyes, I found a child standing in front of me, a boy of about three or four years old, wearing a small flower jacket, and two round eyes staring at me.

I looked around and saw that there were no family members of the child around. I can't help but feel a little strange, this big night, where to run such a small doll, although there is a fireworks show in the square by the river tonight, but like such a small doll, parents will definitely watch it tightly, and will not let him run around.

The child stared at me for a long time, and my heart was a little numb when I saw the two black eyes, and a layer of fine goosebumps appeared on my body.

"Chen Zixuan."

The little doll tilted her head to look at me for a moment, and with a smile on her face, she called out my name.

I was stunned, what is the origin of this little doll in front of me, not only did it appear strangely, but it also called my name out as soon as I opened my mouth, which was really weird.

"Which one are you? How will you know my name? I asked, staring at the child in front of me.

When the little doll heard me, she laughed and said to me, "Come with me, everyone wants to see you." ”

I was stunned, the words in the mouth of this little doll were inexplicable, let me follow him, and said that everyone wanted to see me, who did the "everyone" in his mouth refer to? I don't remember anyone I knew in Yazhou.

At this moment, the little doll finished speaking, and without waiting for me to answer, he jumped up and ran towards the Tsing Yi River in the dark night, leaving a water-stained footprint on the ground with every step he took.

Because it was night, I could only see the water stains on the ground by the faint light of the fire from the shore, but I didn't care, after all, it was too normal for there to be water stains on the river.

When I saw this little kid walking towards the river, I was a little worried, afraid that he would fall into the river, such a small doll, I don't know how to protect myself. Thinking of this, I hurriedly followed.

In the dark night, the temperature by the river was a little low, the child looked small, but the speed was very fast, just when I was stunned, he ran to the edge of the Tsing Yi River, I was suddenly anxious, I was afraid that a wave would sweep him into the river.

I shouted to him not to move, and I spread my legs and ran towards him.

Who knew that just as I ran to the river, the little boy turned his head to me and let out a "giggle" laugh, and he walked into the river at once.

At this moment, the child's smile seemed to have a strange magic, and I seemed to be controlled by a strange power at this time, and everything around me seemed to be unable to affect me in any way, and there was only one thought in my heart.

"Keep up with him! Keep up with him! ”

I didn't have time to think about it, so I just rolled over and rushed into the icy river, and I couldn't help but want to keep up with this little kid.

At night, the water of the Tsing Yi River is cold and biting, I am like a swimming fish in the river, I don't need lighting, I can see the situation in the clear water, I don't need to breathe, and I don't have the need for life. I feel that my body at the moment is light and fluttering, a little like the night when I first arrived at the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple six years ago, that night, I was also in this state, I flew over the earth with a gust of wind, and saw the evil dragon soul under the Fulong Temple along the Minjiang River.

I swam in the river, following the graceful little child in front of me, his appearance at this time was really strange, his thin body seemed to be unaffected by the turbulent river and the laws of physics, it was actually like on land, standing up and walking on two legs, it was so strange that I would have been frightened and would not have dared to follow it in normal times, but just now on the shore I was affected by his strange smile, and my head had no other thoughts than to repeat "keep up with him".

I don't know how long I swam, but I followed him to the bottom of the Tsing Yi River, where fish often swam by, and the bottom of the river was full of accumulated silt and sand.

"Come on! Come on! My brother! ”

The child turned back to me and called out one after another, his voice was like a dream, ethereal and illusory, but when I listened to it, I was suddenly startled, the feeling of being controlled just now gradually faded, and my consciousness began to seize control of my body again.

What did this kid just say?

He even called me brother?

A child wearing a small flower jacket, three or four years old, appeared on the bank of the Tsing Yi River.

My soul was shaken at this moment, as if it had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and my whole body trembled. The words I had said to my mom when she pulled me into my room six years ago came to my mind.

"You were just born that year, and your mother wanted to take you, so she couldn't take your brother away. Your brother was taken to the city by your grandfather, and then your grandfather came back and said that the dragon baby fell into the Tsing Yi River and drowned, we invited a lot of people to salvage, and in the end we didn't find the bones of the dragon baby, your father suspected that this matter had something to do with your grandfather, his expression at the time was really weird, not at all like the person who died his grandson......"

My mother's choked voice still echoed in my ears, was this little kid in front of me the brother I drowned back then?

That kid named Chen Zilong!

"Come, come with me, my brother!"

The little boy had a smile on his face, and he walked on the bottom of the silt river as if he were on a flat road, calling to me as he walked forward.

I looked at his appearance, and a trace of sadness welled up in my heart.

I saw him keep walking, so I followed him. I don't understand what kind of state I am in at the moment, I can't sink in the mud, I can't drown in the water, isn't this what the old people often call out-of-body souls?

I don't know how long I walked, but every time I tried to speed up to catch up with the child who seemed to be my brother, I found that the distance between me and him could never be closed, like two parallel lines that never intersected, I looked at him, but I could never get close.

There was a huge hill arching at the bottom of the river ahead, and I saw a dark hole in the middle of the hill. The little boy walked as if he were taking a leisurely walk, and after lifting his foot a few times, his figure disappeared into the hole.

Without a moment's hesitation, I followed his steps into this dark, dark cave with no end in sight.

When I entered this cave, I suddenly found that there was no drop of water in it, the cave and the outside of the cave were like two worlds, and the word "water avoidance" came to my mind, and I remembered that the master had told me about the existence of water-avoiding treasures or water-avoiding magic arrays, but I didn't know which kind of cave was used, compared to legendary treasures such as water-avoiding beads, I was more inclined to be with people here who were not under a Taoist water-avoiding formation.

The cave is long and dark, and inside is a downhill road with stone steps that were man-made many years ago.

The child's figure had vanished, completely submerged into the darkness ahead, and I walked down the stone steps as if to an underworld.

After about half a pillar of incense, I walked to the bottom of the stone steps, and in front of me was a huge stone hall, the walls around the stone hall were made of special materials, which looked extremely strong, and the top of the stone hall was inlaid with countless gems and jades that emitted a cold light.

I feel very familiar with this architectural style, whether it is the ancient village of Tsing Yi Qiang six years ago or the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom six years later, their architectural style is to decorate the walls and tops with jewels and jade that can emit light, so that the luxurious building can ensure that the light will not be extinguished for thousands of years, but in the same way, the high cost is destined to be decorated only in some extremely important places.

It's just that this huge building built at the bottom of the Tsing Yi River is the masterpiece of Tsing Yi Qiang, or is it the handiwork of the ancient Shu Kingdom? If it was in the past, I would definitely conclude that this was a stone hall built by the Tsing Yi Qiang people, but what Mr. Jia said to me just now makes it difficult for me to be sure at the moment, the original Gu Shu Kingdom also defeated the Tsing Yi Qiang to rule this area, at this time, it is difficult for me to judge.

However, whether it is the ancient Shu Kingdom or Tsing Yi Qiang, how could that child who is suspected of being my brother bring me here?

How does this place relate to our Chen family?

As I pondered, I walked towards the hall, which seemed to be a large hall, and the eight huge bronze columns in the hall held up the building, and with the help of the light emitted by the gem crystal, I could see that the bronze pillars were carved with dense patterns, the most of which was a figure with a square mouth and big ears, and extremely bulging eyes.

"Come here, my brother, come here!"

A somewhat ethereal voice came from the deeper part of the main hall, and I looked away from the bronze column, and looked into the depths of the main hall, perhaps too far away, and the dark and gloomy inside was not very clear.

I followed the child's voice towards the hall, and after walking a distance of about a few hundred meters, I finally reached the deepest part of the hall, and my eyes widened and I couldn't close my mouth in shock as I looked at what appeared in front of me.

This is a huge altar, some like the one I saw in the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom some time ago, but the altar in front of me is much bigger than that. The altar is circular, divided into two layers, the bottom layer is densely packed with countless white bones, these white bones are human-shaped, the skeletons are very small, it looks like most of them are children of a few years old, they kneel on the ground, their faces are facing the top of the altar which is higher in the center.

I roughly counted the number of these humanoid skeletons in about twenty or so, and there was not a trace of flesh on their bodies, all of them were white bones, but in front of them was a circular sink, filled with scarlet, pungent smell of thick blood, and a few bubbles appeared from time to time in the blood, which looked very seeping in the dim light.

I looked in the direction of the children's skeletons kneeling, and there was a coffin lying quietly on the altar in the center, a white coffin, the fine scale of the armor reflecting a ghostly light.

I felt a fear from my soul spread throughout my body, and my whole body trembled with fear.

My ears kept echoing a phrase that my grandfather once said:

"The Qiang River is not dry, and the Chen family is endless!"
