Chapter 4: Thrilling
"What, what to do?" Li Xingxing asked, with a cry in his voice.
"I don't know." Lin Jiayu replied honestly. He was also scared now, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't have any thoughts in his head at all, "Why don't you move and try it?" ”
"I can't move." The crying in Li Xingxing's voice became thicker and thicker, and he felt that he was going to cry out in the next moment.
There were only two people here, and they couldn't turn to anyone else for help. Lin Jiayu gritted his teeth, forced himself to squat down, and pulled the skeleton's hand bones with his hands, Li Xingxing's legs also took a step forward with Lin Jiayu's movements, but the hand bones still tightly pinched Li Xingxing's bare feet and refused to relax.
Li Xingxing cried out. This cry made Lin Jiayu even more nervous.
Lin Jiayu stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, and said to the skeleton, "Do you want to go home?" You let her go, and I'll take you home. After saying that, he stared at the skeleton to see how it reacted, and as a result, the skeleton did not move, as if it did not hear.
Lin Jiayu was bold, leaned closer, and looked at the skeleton's whole body. Through the gap between the ribs, Lin Jiayu found something on the bone of the other hand that the skeleton pressed under him, so he reached out and lifted the skeleton a little, and saw that it was a ring.
Lin Jiayu asked again, "Do you want us to bring the ring to your family?" If yes, you let her go. ”
Surprisingly, this time the skeleton was actually very obedient, and immediately let go of Li Xingxing's bare feet. Li Xingxing hurriedly took a few steps back, for fear that the skeleton would catch her again.
Lin Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief and turned the skeleton over, only to see that on the skeleton's other hand, there was not only a ring, but also a two-inch-long jade slip. He took both things off and put them in his pocket, then gestured at the skeleton.
After doing all this, Lin Jiayu turned back to Li Xingxing and said, "Let's go!" ”
Li Xingxing hurriedly ran forward, grabbed Lin Jiayu's arm, and the two walked towards the altar together.
didn't go far, Lin Jiayu noticed that something was wrong, and the sound of rustling sounded in the originally very quiet space. He thought that he had just been too nervous and had auditory hallucinations, so he stopped and listened carefully, and found that the sound was actually real.
"Run." Lin Jiayu reminded loudly, and then pulled up Li Xingxing and ran wildly in the direction of the altar.
As they ran, the sound of rustling was moving closer to them, and finally it became louder and more terrifying.
Suddenly, Li Xingxing pointed to a certain place in front of his right and asked in a trembling voice, "What is that?" ”
Lin Jiayu looked in the direction of Li Xingxing's finger and saw that a black mass was moving towards them. He stared at the black thing for a moment, and was horrified to find that it was another sentence of white bones.
This discovery made Lin Jiayu's soul almost burst, and he only felt that his teeth were creaking. Glancing around him in the darkness, he gasped when he noticed that there were still a lot of black things moving.
"Run faster." Lin Jiayu urged, and at the same time exerted his strength to eat, pulling Li Xingxing to run frantically towards the altar.
The moment they stepped onto the altar, the sounds of rustling all around them suddenly stopped, as if what had just happened was nothing more than an illusion. Li Xingxing sat on the altar with his ass out of his strength, and his face was full of the throbbing of the rest of his life.
Lin Jiayu was not easy, because he was too frightened, his whole body was in a cold sweat, and when he calmed down at the moment, he only felt a chill down his spine. He just wanted to get his things and leave this place now.
Standing on the altar, Lin Jiayu had time to observe the altar carefully. The altar is trapezoidal, small at the top and large at the bottom, about seven feet high; The four corners are lined with spiked stone pillars, each of which is topped by a fierce-looking Pixiu; Only the front of the altar has a staircase, and the other three sides are beveled and carved with intricate patterns.
Lin Jiayu walked up the steps to the top of the altar, where there was a six-foot-wide platform, in the center of which there was a small platform one foot square, and in the middle of it was a semicircle, in which two silver fish were carved together and jumping upward.
Lin Jiayu bit his finger and dropped a drop of blood into a fish's mouth, then pulled Li Xingxing up half-dragged and half-dragged up, tore open the wound on her finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the mouth of another fish.
After doing this, the two of them stood by stupidly and waited, and after waiting for a long time without seeing any movement, Lin Jiayu said to himself: "Isn't that the case? ”
Li Xingxing squatted on the ground in frustration, without wanting to help, Lin Jiayu had to do it himself, touching all the places on the altar that could be touched, and did not find any mechanism.
"Could it be that we didn't bring sacrifices?" Li Xingxing said suddenly.
Lin Jiayu thought about it, it was not impossible to do so, but if sacrifices were needed, why didn't Tang Poppy tell them just now? Thinking so, he groped back and forth up and down the altar again, but still had no gain, and finally had to give up this futile search and said to Li Xingxing: "Let's go!" ”
Li Xingxing stood up, looked at the two rows of bronze lampposts emitting blue light below, and said, "My legs are weak. ”
Lin Jiayu looked down with a bitter mouth, he also has lingering palpitations about this road now, but there is only this way to go back, and he can't go if he doesn't go! After thinking about it for a while, Lin Jiayu said: "The speed of those white bones seems to be very slow, if we run faster, we should be able to run out." ”
Li Xingxing had a bitter face, looking unhappy, but he still agreed to this plan. Lin Jiayu waited for Li Xingxing's strength to recover a little, then pulled her to jump off the altar and ran all the way to the road she came.
On the way back, the bones didn't move at all. Despite this, Lin Jiayu and Li Xingxing still didn't dare to stay, until they climbed out of the cave and returned to the ground and saw Tang Pop's somewhat rugged face, and then relaxed.
Lin Jiayu and Li Xingxing glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with joy.
Tang Poppy looked at them in surprise, not knowing what they had experienced below, so he asked, "Have you got the things?" ”
Lin Jiayu shook his head and said, "No." Then he roughly told Tang Poppy what happened below.
"Looks like something is missing!" Tang Poppy frowned and said, then walked to Lin Jiayu's side, spread his hands, and said, "Show me what you took from the white bones." ”
Lin Jiayu took out the ring and jade slip from his pocket and handed them to Tang Poppy, Tang Poppy urged his true qi and looked at the two things over and over again. After a while, Tang Poppy handed the ring to Lin Jiayu and said, "This should be a kind of inheritance token, which can only be opened by the power of the bloodline." ”。
Inheritance tokens? Chewing on this unfamiliar word, Su Xueruo's painful appearance appeared in Lin Jiayu's head, guessing that it should be the same thing as the jade plate that Tang Poppy threw to Su Xueruo.
"Girl, good fortune! Drip a drop of blood on it and try it. Tang Poppy handed the jade slip to Li Xingxing and said.
