Chapter 22: The Dark Passage
At the bottom of Lake Spiegel, in a room full of ingredients.
When Tang Xi ate a piece of shortbread until only a third of it was left, there was a euphemistic "poof" sound in his ears, like the sound of tearing a cloth, and like a female ghost crying. Tang Xi looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Qinglin's reckless tail, and pale yellow green smoke coming out. Then a carrion-like breath penetrated into the nostrils.
Tang Xi was directly stunned, and the unfinished shortbread in his hand fell to the ground. It's just the smell of strange smells, which makes Tang Xi, who was stunned in place, sober up instantly. Tang Xi seemed to have recovered his weak body, holding his breath and rushing out quickly.
Tang Xi, who was standing outside the stone gate, took a few deep breaths before regaining his calm. Tang Xi was extremely curious about things he had never seen, but he never thought that this snake would also fart, and it was the kind that was very likely to stink to death. Tang Xi even felt that if it was a second late, he would definitely faint.
Tang Xi looked at Qinglin Mang, who was still reluctant to come out. I saw Qinglin open his mouth, spitting out a long letter, and his body slid back and forth, as if he was enjoying the taste of pale yellow breath.
After five breaths, Tang Xi, who was standing at the door, could still vaguely smell that breath. Tang Xi pulled out the key on the stone wall, for his own safety, the stone door must be closed, who knows what this smell will look like when it wafts out.
The rumble interrupted Qinglin's play. Qing Lin Mang's body was still mixed with an unpleasant smell, and he quickly rushed out of the stone gate and came to Tang Xi's side.
Tang Xi pinched his nose and moved his body backwards. Qinglin Mang seemed to be teasing, and his body followed. At this time, Tang Xi was really in pain, not to mention that he was hungry, and he had to endure this unpleasant smell. Tang Xi even suspected that this Qing Lin was reckless. Tang Xi sat on the futon in the hall, his face full of innocence.
At this moment, Qinglin's uneven stomach returned to its original state, as if it had digested the piece of meat larger than his body. Tang Xi tightened his belt in frustration, staring at Qing Lin with hateful eyes. If the curse is used again, Tang Xi has already cursed it a thousand times.
"Can you take me out, I'm dying of hunger. Half an hour later, Tang Xi was powerless.
After Tang Xi finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, and remembered that since he came to the bottom of the lake, he had only eaten a complete shortbread, and it was given by the Tianchi boy. Now that the sun has set in the west, Tang Xi has only eaten the second one, and he has only eaten half of it.
Qinglin seemed to hear Tang Xi's meaning, raised his head and looked at the passage, as if telling Tang Xi that there was something to eat there.
Tang Xi crooked his mouth, enduring hunger, showing contempt. If Tang Xi was asked to choose those foods, Tang Xi would rather starve to death. As soon as he thought of the ingredients, as well as the smell left by Qinglin Mang, Tang Xi's stomach churned. If it weren't for Tang Xi's empty stomach, he might have vomited something.
"I'm going out, how can I get out?" Tang Xi said to himself as he lay on the futon, looking at the blue sky.
At this moment, Tang Xi thought of what Tianchi Boy said, Mingjing Lake was just a formation. Tang Xi opened the last formation chapter of the Xuanyin Jue and looked at it carefully. Except for some words and patterns that I don't understand, almost nothing is visible. Tang Xi showed disappointment and continued to lie on the futon.
Qinglin Mang crawled to Tang Xi's side, and the letter that spit out of his mouth pointed to a corner of the book. Tang Xi inadvertently glanced at it, and at this glance, Tang Xi instantly showed excitement. It turned out that Qinglin's tongue was pointing at the word "organ". Tang Xi thought back to the mechanism that controlled the ice bed and the door that the key opened.
Tang Xi took the book and began to look for the mechanism button. Just under the futon, Tang Xi found three buttons. But when you open it, it's either a bed or a piece of clothing. Tang Xi didn't give up and walked around. Along the passage, Tang Xi came to the stone platform room where he had been lying at first.
On the uneven stone wall, look carefully. At the corner of the stone wall, an oil lamp attracted Tang Xi's attention. Tang Xi walked over, pushed hard, the oil lamp did not move at all, tried back and forth many times, and nothing changed. Finally, Tang Xi turned slightly, and a rumbling sound sounded.
Half a foot away from Tangxi, the uneven stone wall was opened like a door, and a narrow passage appeared in front of him. It's just that this passage, without any light, looks very dark, and it is very different from the others. Tang Xi showed a hint of timidity, but under hunger, Tang Xi still walked towards the dark passage.
Qing Lin Mang followed behind Tang Xi, unable to see any expression. In the dark, Tang Xi, who was already weak, bumped into each other and groped his way forward. The passage seems to be an uphill section, and every few steps forward, Tang Xi has to rest for a while. It was like this, and after an hour, a stone wall blocked the way.
In the dark, I can't see my fingers. Tang Xi tried all his strength, but he couldn't push away the stone wall that blocked the way. Tang Xi tried to find a mechanism on the stone wall. Half an hour later, Tang Xi sat down on the ground, as if he had given up.
Qinglin Mang saw Tang Xi sitting there motionless, his body glowing with green light, illuminating the dark place. Tang Xi looked at the moment Qinglin Mang was different from the beginning, and there were more palm-sized scales on his smooth body. Tang Xi was not surprised, but began to scold angrily: "You little worm, you don't light up early, you come to the exit, I hate you." ”
Qinglin ignored Tang Xi's curse, stretched out his letter, and pointed to the oil lamp under the stone wall. Tang Xi got up with difficulty, walked to the oil lamp, turned it around, and after the rumble, the stone wall blocking the way opened.
A glimmer of sunset, Tang Xi, who came out of the darkness, covered his eyes with his left hand, and after adapting to the outside sun, he took a deep breath of fresh air. After Tang Xi opened his eyes, he found that this was the place he was most familiar with.
Looking at the ancient wooden furniture in front of me, the wide bed, and the neat bedding. Tang Xi took a deep breath, he couldn't believe that at the end of this passage was the room where he had lived for several days. The wall behind Tang Xi turned out to be the exit of the passage.
Tang Xi sat on the bed and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Then come to the closet and look for clothes. Today's clothes, with burnt cuts everywhere, are basically uncovered. Tang Xi, who wanted to change his clothes, did not find his burden in the closet.
Qing Lin Mang disappeared as early as when Tang Xi entered the room. At this time, when Tang Xi sat on the head of the bed, he found that Qinglin was reckless. After looking in the room, he didn't see it, and Tang Xi showed concern. This concern is not Qinglinmang, but the villagers of Taoyuan Village. After Tang Xi sighed, he closed the mechanism and walked towards the door.
Tangxi, who had lived in the Han family for a few days, was familiar with the road and walked towards the kitchen of the Han family. When passing by the hall of the Han family, I saw Han Ningzhu sitting alone at the wooden table, his pale face showing sadness, and his reddish eyes staring at the burden on the wooden table.
"Hehe, the young lady looks very sad, do you think I'm dead? Tang Xi walked behind Han Ningzhu softly......
