Volume 1 Black and White Dream Chapter 3 Ancient Building
Gu Ku skipped Su Qing's question and asked her a seemingly unrelated sentence: "What time is it?" ”
Shu Qing thought for a moment: "It was already midnight when the battle in Yanjing City was over, plus the rest time before we appeared in the ancient building, and the time when Fang was just now. It should be early ......"
Su Qing stopped talking suddenly, his face became a little pale, and his hands trembled slightly.
It stands to reason that it is morning, and even if it is not sunrise time, there should be a sense of morning light. But why is it still pitch black and the moon hanging high in the sky?
Shu Qing said cautiously: "Old head, do you want to ...... One more space transfer? Shall we go back to Yanjing? ”
Gu Ku's face was solemn: "I have to wait for a while, I don't recover so quickly." ”
The two looked at the open door, and the "things" inside seemed to be an invitation, silently and relatively silent.
"Roar!" A loud roar broke the silence. Shu Qing was shocked and sweated.
A ball of fire flew towards the two of them from a distance, and a burst of heat rushed towards the door, and Shu Qing felt as if she was being grilled on top of a firewood. It was a strange big bird, blood-red, with only golden eyes, which were staring at Su Qing and a dangerous roar coming from its throat. Su Qing only felt that his legs were weak, and he wanted to kneel.
Gu Ku arched his body, jumped up and grabbed the feathers on the top of the bird's head, and the bird let out a terrible scream, and Su Qing covered his ears in pain, feeling as if his internal organs were about to be shattered.
Gu Ku was closest to the sound source, and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, pulled out the small scimitar from his waist and plunged it straight into the strange bird's neck.
The strange bird's blood-red feathers exuded an even hotter temperature, and the surrounding space was faintly roasted and slightly distorted. Seeing this, Gu Ku sighed that it was not good, and before turning over and jumping to the ground, he used his strength to stab the small scimitar deep into the neck of the strange bird.
The strange bird looked at Gu Ku who was already on the ground viciously, and in an instant the golden light shone, and the dagger inserted into his neck was melted away.
"Not good!" Shu Qing screamed secretly, seeing that the strange bird was about to launch another wave of attacks, dragging Gu Ku, who was vomiting blood, into the ancient building neatly.
With a bang, the door slammed.
The interior of the ancient building is boundless darkness, without a trace of light, the black is pure and thorough, like in a dream. Su Qing only felt both frightened and depressed, and her legs kept shaking. She seemed to be the only one left around, standing alone and confused. Reaching for the door, it didn't move, as she expected.
"Old Head, are you okay? Or...... Let's make small talk? The words were thrown into the sea like a pebble, and there was no response.
"Guku?" Su Qing screamed again, and only her own echo was answered.
Sky! This building will eat people?! A bean-sized cold sweat broke out on Su Qing's forehead, and he almost fell to his knees.
Shu Qing groped his way and slowly moved forward, and shouted again, "Is there anyone?" ”
"Click"
Su Qing was stunned, this can't really be anyone, right?
It's another series of "clicks".
Su Qing suddenly understood, this was the sound of the mechanism activating! She fell to her knees in an instant, her head in her hands, and curled up.
After a long time, what kind of poisoned arrows and sledgehammers were expected...... Before they arrived, Shu Qing quietly turned his head and saw two small fireballs appear on the left and right sides of the gate. Shuqing sat down on the ground, completely giving up thinking, and staring at the prospect in a daze.
Two fireballs quickly rolled along a specific track, and a lantern was lit and lit, illuminating the interior of the ancient building. Because the ancient building was cylindrical, the fireballs finally converged and burned in the middle, and the flames slowly extinguished into two small steel balls that fell into the track. The "click" track was merged into the corridor railing on the second floor of the ancient building.
Shu Qing quickly searched for Gu Ku's figure, and looked at the inside of the ancient building by the way. This ancient building is not very luxurious, it has only two floors.
On the second floor, from the inner wall of the ancient building, a corridor about three meters around the ancient building extends around the center. There are also several rooms of different sizes, closely connected, with no windows, only doors. There are certain beasts painted on the door, and the doors of different rooms are also different. I don't know what kind of paint is used, but it is faintly reflected in the golden light, lifelike.
Since Suqing was on the first floor, the light from the lantern was not very bright, so she couldn't see clearly.
Gu Ku is still missing, will it be on the second floor? Shu Qing went up to check and found that there was no staircase leading to the second floor. But Su Qing thought about it again, too, what do you have to do with light work! But she won't!
Shu Qing was a little desperate, and leaned on a certain stone wall of the ancient building in a daze. It's not a good idea to wait. Since the lanterns were hung around the inner walls of the ancient building at the doors of the upper floors, they were in a circle, and the surroundings were brighter, but the center was pitch black.
Shu Qing looked at the center: "Gu Ku? ”
Still no response.
Forget it, forget it, Shu Qing crawled on the ground, planning to go there to find out, instead of passively accepting, it is better to meet death happily, and what if there is an exit there? After all, you can't go up to the second floor, the door can't be opened, and even if you push it open, you can't go out, and there are strange birds outside.
Thinking of this, Shu Qing sped up the speed of climbing.
Just as she was about to reach her destination, a crisp birdsong came from above. Su Qing's body trembled, and he looked up. Only then did she realize that the ceiling of the ancient building had been added with a transparent barrier, probably to prevent the earth, sand and stone from falling into it when it came out of the ground.
The sky was accompanied by the birdsong, and the darkness faded in an instant, and a large area of fiery clouds floated in the air, and another birdsong sounded, and Su Qing saw three gorgeous and noble birds flying through the sky. The bird's tail is bright red, and there is a ring of golden feathers around the outline, as if it has a halo of its own. The color is lighter from the tail to a pale pink on the head.
The bird raised its head proudly, and as soon as its pale yellow beak opened, it let out another birdsong, which turned and listened to it, and hit people's hearts.
The birds flew over the ancient building and disappeared, but the light it brought did not disappear. Shu Qing thought to herself, this ghost place is finally dawning......
The light shone into the ancient building, dispelling the darkness that the lantern did not shine on.
Shu Qing retracted his gaze, planning to take advantage of the daylight to quickly explore this place. When her eyes fell on the center of the ancient building, the position she originally wanted to climb to, her pupils shrank suddenly.
In the center was a high platform, on which stood a man with his head lowered and his face could not be seen clearly. The man was dressed in a big red robe, with gold trim at the cuffs, and his black hair reached to his waist, which was not tied up, but was scattered. A pale blue screen of light imprisoned him on a high platform.
This costume ...... The corners of Su Qing's mouth twitched, but it looked a little like those birds......
There were steps to the top of the platform, and Su Qing took two steps and climbed up the steps and came to the man in red.
The man in red lowered his head and slowly raised it, and a pair of golden phoenix eyes looked at Su Qing.
Shu Qing looked at him and couldn't help but be stunned, this is too handsome!
"Su Qing!" An old voice interrupted their slightly awkward gaze.
Su Qing was pleasantly surprised, "Gu Ku! ”
Gu Ku jumped down from the second floor and floated down to the high platform.
"Where did you just go?"
Gu Ku looked a little anxious, "I'll talk about it later, I have to get out of here now, there's something strange about this place." ”
Shu Qing rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, a normal person can see it.
"How do you leave?"
Gu Ku was a little embarrassed.
Shu Qing said: "It can't be from the gate." Why don't you try to break the roof? Let's run out from above! ”
Gu Kuwei pondered for a moment and said, "Try it!" ”
The red-robed man watched Gu Ku close his eyes with a little interest, accumulate his internal strength in one palm, and then flew to the roof like an arrow and slapped it fiercely. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Gu Ku slapped three palms in a row, and there was no crack in the barrier.
Gu Ku fell, and the red-robed man looked at his swollen palms like pig's trotters and sneered softly.
Gu Ku glanced at the blue light screen in front of the man and reached out to touch it. With a "bang", Gu Ku flew out.
Shu Qing hurriedly helped him up, and said to the red-robed man with a good face: "Respect the old and love the young, respect the old and respect the old, how can you say that you will fight?" ”
The red-robed man looked like he didn't care about himself, "I didn't beat him." ”
Shu Qing was surprised, ran to the man, tilted his head and looked at the light screen, could it be it?
Shu Qing raised his hand and stretched out his hand to the light screen while looking at the red-robed man. The man had a big smile in his eyes, as if he was waiting to see her make a fool of himself.
"Don't touch it!" Gu Ku stopped Su Qing, "This is the sealing enchantment, and I was ejected by it just now." ”
Sealing the enchantment? Shu Qing thought of the talisman that had turned into powder outside the door again, could it be that the two were going to suppress the same thing?
Su Qing looked at the red-robed man with a little puzzlement, and the red-robed man's eyes were smiling.
Could it be him who seals it? After all, he is the strangest thing about this place. This building is coming out of the ground, and there are living people?!
"Look at his wrist!" Only then did Shu Qing realize that the wrists of the red-robed man's hands were clamped with two thumb-thick iron chains, which were engraved with dense incantations, and the other end of the iron chain was nailed to the platform, as did his feet.
The red robe worn by the red-robed man was obviously darker in several places. After a little thought, Su Qing realized that it was a dried blood stain.
Is it a sword wound? It looks quite serious, and it bleeds so much. Shu Qing got closer again, and Gu Ku shouted, "Don't come closer! Rest on your head! Don't let him out! ”
Shu Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is this light screen." ”
The light screen lit up, and Gu Ku smothered his chest with a mouthful of old blood: "What are you waving?!" Su Qing instantly hugged his head and was ready to fly out and break a bone.
The light screen became brighter and brighter, and finally shattered in the sky like a little star.
The man in the red robe: "!! ”
Shu Qing looked at his hands in disbelief: "It turns out that I ...... I'm a master! ”
Gu Ku completely spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "You...... You ......"
The red-robed man looked at Su Qing with dark eyes.
Shu Qing immediately stepped aside and stood with Gu Ku, looking at the red-robed man warily.
Gu Ku tugged on Su Qing's sleeve tightly: "Stay honest!" Don't add any more to the mess! ”
The red-robed man tilted his head sideways, as if he hated the long hair covering his cheeks, and since the chains had not yet been broken, he still did not regain his freedom. "Help me break the chains, and I'll help you escape." A deep, magnetic voice rang out, "This building will soon sink back into the depths of the earth, and you two won't be able to survive by then." ”
