Chapter 199: Jing and I'm in the painting boat
After repeating this many times, the moon in the sky gradually returned to its original appearance.
I even forgot how much time I was consuming.
Even when he looked at the moon that had returned to its original appearance, it was a bit overlapping with the blood-red face from before.
Although the face was already very clear, this face felt very strange in my eyes, and it did not correspond to my own face.
Then there is only one possibility.
This face is the one who hasn't appeared in the entire copy of this storyline.
Xie Chen sighed, walked forward with some anguish, and turned his head to look at the fork on the left before a crossroads appeared.
Holding his breath and concentrating on himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the door of the first house at the fork, there was a bowl full of rice, and a half-lit incense stick was inserted on top of the rice.
All of these houses were closed and there were no lights in the houses.
This loess alley seems to have been sealed for a long time, and there are traces left by the years everywhere.
The half-burned incense stick has been kept at this pace.
Xie Chen didn't turn into the fork on the left hand side too quickly, and after looking at it for more than ten seconds, he confirmed that the incense stick would only remain in this state, and then turned in.
Then I quickly grabbed some rice from this bowl and put it in the bottom of my hand.
Next, even if you encounter an empty bowl again, you will not be helpless.
However, every alley that turns to the right or left, or even the one that goes straight, all the bowls and incense sticks appear in different or the same state.
I just think there's definitely something to it about.
If you can figure out the rules here, you should be able to avoid those empty bowls, even black stagnant water, or the sudden change of the moon in the sky.
It can also be avoided.
But where do you start?
I don't have a clue.
Anyway, I can't think of a pattern, and now I've turned twice, and according to the original rules, I only need to turn nine turns at most, and then I can reach the house where the rules are made.
There may be another meaning here.
That is, he can only encounter nine more dangers at most.
If this number is exceeded, then appearing next to you is no longer a simple change of the moon.
Xie Chen looked at the incense that had been burning as it had been beneath, and began to move forward again.
Sure enough, all the incense that appeared next was the pillar of incense at the entrance of the alley, and there was no difference.
The only difference is the bowls that appear, and the rice inside is uneven.
I've been walking for almost seven households, and I haven't been able to figure out the pattern of rice in these bowls.
Some high, some low.
Some of them only put a little bit at the bottom of the bowl, and some of the rice is even very "fine".
It wasn't until I walked to the ninth house that I came to the intersection of Loess Lane again, only this time there was a white flag at the door of this house.
In the middle of the flag is written a small word "lay".
The tail of the flag was even stained with a little red, which could be smelled from the faint smell of blood wafting over, which was originally blood.
Xie Chen took a deep breath and went over to see what this flag was, but before he could even probe it, the flag fell to the ground by itself.
Xie Chen was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't even know whether to bend down and pick it up.
When he first had this idea, the white flag in front of him had disappeared, leaving only a little blood stain stuck to the loess alley.
There was really no way, so he could only walk up and squat down, brushed his cuffs, moved the sleeves of Tsing Yi to his arms, and then dipped his fingers on the scarlet.
From the touch, this is much more viscous than ordinary blood, and even a little "pulpy" feeling.
Xie Chen slowly approached his nose and inhaled gently, and the smell of blood that rushed straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai occupied his nasal cavity.
I had to quickly wipe the loess on the ground with my fingers.
The white flag did not appear again, but the intersection in front of me was unexpectedly spacious.
But it's also a little darker than what you see in a normal scene.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xie Chen couldn't help but be startled.
What appeared in front of him was an abrupt well built for some unknown reason, and an old notice was nailed to the side of the well with a scorn.
[First: Sit in the well barrel and sink.] 】
[Second: Close your eyes and don't open them until you feel like you're sliding.] 】
[Third: Go and get the talisman, the talisman is in the hand of Tsing Yi who reacts to your movements, and you can go back by staring at the talisman. 】
[Fourth: White skin, red flowers, and cyan bones, only by wearing the cloak that collected these can you see the exit.] 】
[Fifth: The moon is smiling at you like a god.] 】
Beneath this shaky and dilapidated poster, the muddy loess on the ground by the well, has the following handwriting carved crookedly with branches.
Don't give in! Don't give in!! Don't give in!!
Perhaps because of the age, it is difficult to tell the difference here.
There's even a long list of content behind it, and there's no way to see it clearly.
Xie Chen swallowed his saliva and muttered to himself at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't give in?"
"To whom?"
At this time, when I looked at this well again, my eyes were already unconsciously in a trance.
Even this pitch-black well seemed to crawl out of someone in the next moment.
"Backtrack ......"
"Talisman?"
Xie Chen's eyes were a little distracted, looking at these familiar words, they were still related to the ability of his pocket watch.
But what exactly does Tsing Yi say on the notice?
Recently, he was wearing a green coat, but he didn't have any talismans on him.
White skin, red flowers, blue bones......
After these three things, there is the cloak and the exit.
Once you've collected it, you'll be able to see the exit, but where do you need to collect it?
The notice floating in front of me seems to be attractive, and it has been attracting my attention.
Xie Chen could feel that all the attention in his eyes was being drained.
When I walked on my feet, I became in a trance.
Before I knew it, I had come to this abrupt well.
The smell of dirt mixed with grass on this piece of paper was not particularly good, and it certainly had nothing to do with the smell.
The stone bricks of this well are all covered with moist moss.
But the moss is all alive.
When I got closer, I could see the green seedlings on the top.
The ends of the well were held steady by thigh-thick stakes, and in the middle there was a beam as thick as two arms.
The rope is also a thick eight-strand rope, and it can be seen that the well has been a long time, but the equipment still maintains a round and strong degree.
It has not been worn out by the ravages of time.
Xie Chen looked at the wooden barrel that fell on the well, it was very huge, and there was no problem in loading his whole person.
For some reason, I can feel my breathing getting heavier than usual.
Especially when looking at the dark bottom of the well, the barrel in front of me made my vision even more scorching.
Xie Chen gently put his foot in, and then stuck a stone on the wooden crank next to him.
It was a little difficult to maintain the balance of the body when holding the eight-strand rope with both hands, but as long as you get used to it, it was not difficult to step yourself into the bucket.
In less than a few moments, he was already in the barrel.
Xie Chen pushed the stone away with his hand, and grabbed the crank with his other hand, and after stabilizing his body, he quickly let go, and then retracted his hand.
When the crank was out of the way, it began to spin rapidly, but the barrel did not fall quickly.
At this moment, I realized that there was actually a rope next to it, tied to the same beam as the rope of my barrel.
Xie Chen's pupils shrank.
In this way, it should be another barrel.
But the barrel was sunk at the bottom of the well, and after his barrel moved, he did not hear any sound of water coming from the bottom of the well.
In other words, there is no water at all under this old well.
Xie Chen swallowed his saliva, covered in cold sweat.
At this time, the brain had cleared up a lot, and after seeing the content of the notice, he even forgot for a while the rules written on the walls of the house after entering this loess alley.
Especially the last one of these.
[The well does not exist, if you see it, please retreat and stay away until the well disappears.] 】
But not only did he not stay away, but he was even affected by this well.
Now that it had slowly begun to sink, Xie Chen hurriedly grabbed another rope in front of him with both hands and pulled the eight-strand rope down with all his might.
Leaning on the beam hanging from above, you can at least pull up the barrel that holds you.
However, the eight-strand rope was very rough, and the barrel was very huge, and his weight was not light, and in a short time his hands were worn red.
Xie Chen dragged with all his strength to eat.
I even want to complain even more in my heart.
Is the quest reward you get a joke?
Every time you need to fight or use your strength, there's no real tried-and-true thing.
At this time, he can't even hang himself, and the dungeon reward is like his mother's joke.
Although he pulled hard, the whole person was still slowly falling.
As it sank deeper and deeper, consciousness followed suit.
As the picture in front of him became more and more blurry, a strange sound seemed to come from the bottom of the well, and even drilled into his ears.
Even if you try your best to resist, it's useless.
"When you sit in the bucket, there will be a moment when it will be parallel to another bucket that has been pulled down."
"To touch what's in there, to become it, to guide, to end this nightmare, to end ...... Birth, you have been lost, but do not despair, even if it is broken and turned into dirt, to help, to believe in hope. ”
Xie Chen's eyes became blurred, and even his eyes began to drift, and his hands, which could still use his strength, also let go.
The whole person stood at a very fast speed and fell.
The two barrels reached equilibrium in an instant.
The barrel, which was originally at the bottom of the well, even had a corner broken.
Xie Chen looked at the blue color sitting in the bucket in confusion, and couldn't help but slowly raise his hand.
Sitting in the barrel opposite was a paper figure with a rotten face, and the white paper on his face was even paste.
The feet cut out of bamboo underneath have been broken, and even the bamboo chips can be seen clearly.
Xie Chen moved his shoulders in confusion, and the cyan bamboo paper figure in front of him also learned his own movements and moved.
At this time, Xie Chen had lost consciousness, and his eyes were not bright at all, but it seemed that because the cyan bamboo paper figure had moved, he actually raised his hand.
After the hand was raised, the cyan bamboo paper figure completed the action almost at the same time.
The scene in front of me made people feel very awkward, and I didn't know whether it was Xie Chen who was controlling the paper man, or the cyan bamboo strip paper man controlling the unconscious Xie Chen.
But the next moment, Xie Chen, who lost consciousness, suddenly roared, as if angrily rushing towards the paper man.
This time, the cyan bamboo paper man did not make the same action, and was directly thrown into the well by Xie Chen.
The barrel, which had lost its balance, fell rapidly, and soon fell to the very bottom of the well.
From the bottom came the sound of picking up something, and the roar of rage did not stop, as if the cyan bamboo paper figure had been skinned alive.
As time passed, the sound became quieter and quieter, until there was no more movement.
…………………………
"Where is this?"
Xie Chen covered his head and got up from the ground, only to feel a little swelling pain in his brain.
I don't know why, the Tsing Yi on my body has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a white Hanfu.
"When did it turn white?"
Xie Chen couldn't remember what had just happened at all, and he only knew that after seeing the well, he had no sense.
The surrounding environment has changed, and he has left the loess alley.
And right ahead, it is the "house" mentioned in the rules
Xie Chen looked stunned.
There is a plaque on the gate of the house, the plaque has long faded and looks very old, but it can be vaguely recognized that it is written in gilt "into the painting boat".
The corners of the house were covered with the remains of paper figurines tied with bamboo slivers, and knives and scrolls were scattered everywhere.
The screen in the center of the mansion is painted with an abstract landscape bridge, and the back of the screen is embroidered with words, and behind the screen is a rectangular pool, which can only be carefully read through the pool.
[One: Don't look back, wet yourself with the pool in front of you, they can only see the people who are looking at them.] 】
[Two: They can't touch water, they can't go ashore after touching water, they can't bend their knees. 】
[Three: The moon is the eyes to wait, when there is no moonlight, go to the front of the screen. 】
[Four: Stare at the screen for a minute and don't think about anything.] 】
Looking at this messy "painting boat", it is really hard to imagine what has happened here before?
The paper figures scattered here are even left with bamboo scraps and paper scraps, and they can't piece together the original appearance at all.
Xie Chen only felt that his head was a little dizzy again, but he recovered again after a while.
