Chapter 10, Old Man Stone
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Xiaoyu woke up, there was no monster in front of him, and there was no weird sound in his ears, so he was not so afraid in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There was no sound in the stone hall, the light became much softer, Jiang Xiaoyu opened his eyes cautiously and looked at the light in front of him.
Directly in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, there are cylinders with a height of one zhang on each side, and there is a plate on the top of the cylinder, and a round ball is placed on the plate, and the ball emits a white light.
Between the two columns, a statue of a foot tall appeared.
Jiang Xiaoyu was suddenly very frightened in his heart, why did another statue appear?
This stone hall is too weird, looking at the time and space from the outside, and when you come in, something like this appears, and something like that appears for a while.
What else will appear later? There is no way to know, Jiang Xiaoyu is uneasy in his heart.
Did the statue in front appear after the blinding light, or in the front, or at the same time, just obscured by the light?
I don't know what this statue is, and what does it have to do with the statue on the cave wall outside? Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the statue in front of him vigilantly.
After looking at the statue, Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was a little more relaxed, he thought it was a three-headed and six-armed monster, but unexpectedly, it was an old man with a long beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a surprisingly big head.
The statue is only a head, and from the head down, it is a large stone.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw that it was not a monster, so he put the black loach on the ground, and he took a few steps forward, looking at the stone statue with courage.
This image is not the same as the one on the outside, which is carved from black stone, but it is carved from yellow stone.
In addition, the carving techniques of the two are also different, the outer carving is connected to the cave wall, but the old man's head is independent, it should be carved from a large stone.
Who carved such an image here, why did he only carve one image, did he not have time to carve it, or was it because of other reasons? Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while, his brain was dizzy, and he didn't think about it anymore.
Jiang Xiaoyu waited for a long time, and kept paying attention to the movement in the stone hall, and nothing appeared during this time.
However, the two round balls completely attracted Jiang Xiaoyu, and he smacked his lips, these two stones are really rare things, and they can emit the light of a pile of fire.
Don't say you've seen it before, or you've never heard of it, but if you take it home and use it as a lamp at night, it would be much brighter than the light of the lamp, and it wouldn't cost oil.
Thinking of home, thinking of his father, Jiang Xiaoyu was very melancholy, he was trapped here, if his father and mother knew, they must be very anxious, and they must find a way to get out.
Jiang Xiaoyu first groped around the stone door, but there was nothing, it seemed that this door could enter or exit;
He touched all the way along the stone wall of the stone hall, and he finished touching both sides, even after the five sons of the demon wind, he didn't.
Jiang Xiaoyu lay on the demon wind five sons in a dejected manner, thinking of his father and mother at home, he became in pain, and tears fell on the stone statue.
The black loach stood in front of the stone door and roared quietly, Jiang Xiaoyu stopped being sad, looked at it, and saw it yelling at the column, could it be that there was something wrong with the column?
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the stone, the stone pillar and its unchanged were the ball, the ball was white when it first appeared, but then it released a green light, and the entire stone hall turned into a deep and turquoise.
Something strange must have happened, Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly walked to the front of the stone gate, and the black loach was obviously also afraid, hiding behind him, not even showing his head.
Jiang Xiaoyu touched the head of the black loach to comfort him, the black loach rolled up and leaned on his body, making a whining sound, like a child who had been wronged, looking at him, his eyes were full of resentment.
Jiang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Black loach, you found it yourself, who asked you to run in, you made me miserable, and you are embarrassed to blame me." ā
Jiang Xiaoyu closed his eyes, whether the monster that appeared in the stone hall was flying in the sky or running on the ground, it was up to it, people couldn't help themselves, and they had to resign themselves to fate.
While waiting quietly, Jiang Xiaoyu heard several coughs from the old man in the stone hall, and after the coughing stopped, a burst of laughter sounded.
If you hear laughter elsewhere, things are generally a good thing, but when you hear it in this stone hall, it is dark and terrifying, which makes people feel chills in their hearts, and Jiang Xiaoyu has a chill on his body.
After the laughter, an old man's voice sounded, as if to say to himself: "The time has finally come, I am finally alive again!
Scared to the extreme, he is not afraid, Jiang Xiaoyu opened his eyes and looked around, there was a change in the stone hall, the green light was gone, and the two stone balls emitted white light from the new.
Jiang Xiaoyu fixed his gaze and looked at the stone statue, the stone statue was also looking at him, his eyes were facing each other, and he was shocked in his heart, the stone statue was actually alive.
What does it feel like to have a talking, smiling stone statue looking at you?
Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was blank, he didn't retreat or advance, he stood there blankly, just looking at the stone statue.
The stone statue smiled slightly and said, "Young man, you woke me up?"
Jiang Xiaoyu opened his mouth, and his Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, making a gurgling sound.
The stone statue said, "I was negligent. You are already bold enough, you can still stand in front of me and not faint, but you are so scared that you can't speak, this is easy to do, I will help you strengthen your courage. ā
After the stone statue finished speaking, a ray of light burst out from the ball and sank into Jiang Xiaoyu's body.
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly relaxed all over, and there was no trace of fear.
The black loach stood up, rushed to Jiang Xiaoyu, and barked his teeth at the stone statue.
When the stone statue saw it, it was not angry, and said, "You black fellow, you are also quite protective of the Lord, but now you calm me down." ā
The stone ball emitted a ray of light again, and shot into the black loach's body, and the black loach obediently wagked its tail and ran to the stone statue, looking very enthusiastic.
The stone statue smiled and said, "Young man, now you can say, did you wake me up?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was very dazed when he heard him ask, thought for a while, took a few steps forward and said, "Who are you?"
The stone statue said, "I am a god in the heavenly realm, not a monster;
Jiang Xiaoyu pointed to the stone gate and said, "I've seen it, the monster is on the stone wall over there." You said you were an immortal in the heavenly realm, how could you be in a cave?"
The stone statue said, "I see. I am indeed an immortal in the heavenly realm, why am I in a cave, it is difficult to understand at a glance!"
The immortals in the heavenly realm, why is it a stone? Jiang Xiaoyu was skeptical, he said: "You just said that I woke you up? I am a mortal, how can there be a way to save you?"
The stone statue looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "I know, it was you who woke me up, and it was your tears that woke me up." ā
Jiang Xiaoyu was even more surprised, and said: "My tears have awakened you? I'm just a mortal, a mortal's tears turned a stone into an old man who can speak? To be honest, I can't believe it." ā
The stone statue said, "Yes, young man, you are indeed a mortal, but the tears you shed have divine power, for it is the purest and most true expression of emotion that can break the seal on me and awaken me from my slumber, child, I should thank you." You can come here, I believe it is in the dark, fate has made arrangements. ā
"No thanks!" Jiang Xiaoyu hesitated, thinking to himself, what should I call him now?
Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate, after all, he was not an ordinary person, he was a fairy on the street, and it was inappropriate to call him grandpa.
What should I call him? Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't pay attention to it.
The stone statue said: "Young man, you don't have to worry about the title, you just call me the stone old man, look at my current situation, this title is also in line with my identity." ā
This is a good title, and when he thinks about it, he can't help but be surprised, how does he know what he is thinking?
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Old man Shi, you are an immortal in the heavenly realm, you must be very capable, can you please do me a favor?"
The old man sighed and said, "I already know what you said, everyone has homesickness, and I want to go back, I can send you back to your village, but in that case, your village will be destroyed in the near future, and the people of the world will fall into misery again." You have to think about it. ā
Jiang Xiaoyu listened to his words and said in a lost voice: "Old man Shi, what did I do wrong? Why did I go back and bring disaster to my family, and I beg you to tell me?"
The old man said: "Young man, don't worry, listen to me first, are there a total of three of you who have arrived at Qixing Island, you are called Jiang Xiaoyu, another is called Qu Haizi, and the other is called Ji Xiaoshi." ā
Jiang Xiaoyu heard him talk about Xiaoshi and Haizi, his heart was excited, and he stepped forward and said, "Old Man Shi, do you know them? Please tell me, how are they now?"
The old man said, "I know that they are your good friends. This is fate, and you can't escape if you want to. As you don't know, the three gates have a doorway, the one on the right is called the 'Humane Gate', the one in the middle is called the 'Immortal Gate', and the one on the left is called the 'Demon Gate'. The three of you have walked through three different gates, and since you have entered the square gate, your fate will be completely different; those who have entered the 'Humane Gate' will return to the world to be human beings again; those who have entered the 'Immortal Dao Gate' will become immortals in the future; and those who have entered the 'Demon Dao Gate' will become demons, just like demons on the stone wall. It is precisely because Qu Haizi entered the 'Demon Dao Gate' that the Demon Dao was reborn and people fell into a catastrophe;
Jiang Xiaoyu burst into tears, nodded, and said, "I understand, if I had known about this, I wouldn't have allowed them to come! I'm not worried about the little stone, I'm very worried about Haizi, Haizi has entered the demon path, and he must have been harmed by demons. If time can go back, I'd rather exchange with Haizi, I'll go to the Demon Dao, and he will come to the Immortal Dao. ā
The old man said: "Young man, you don't have to be too sad, it's not your fault, everything is arranged by fate, and you can't change it if you want to." ā
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Old Man Shi, I want to ask you a question, how can there be such an island in Seven Star Island, and there are three square gates on the island?"
