Chapter 77: The Trip to Shampoo Just the right hug
Nature's ingenuity, coupled with the craftsmen's careful carving, nature has achieved extraordinary, and the main hall in front of you should be so. The main hall is very wide space, if it is not for the high hanging top is a large area of fluorite, emitting a soft light, sufficient light, and not dazzling, it is difficult to imagine that this is the space that exists underground, and there may be a thousand peaks above the fluorite.
In the center of the main hall stands a statue with a completely ruined face and a ruined torso, only the remaining right arm and leg are depicted with perfect lines and the intricate relief hem of the armor, showing the former majesty and magic. There is also a circular raised altar in front of the statue, which is also damaged, and some complex characters and patterns can be vaguely recognized, like some kind of formation.
What's even more weird is in the middle of the main hall. The Shadow of the Sun saw the final destination of the skeleton that they had followed all the way, dragged by the rats to an unknown direction. At this point, he must have been casually left among these bones similar to his, a staggering number of them, insurmountable, and piled up. Some of the lucky ones were all skeletons, more were just severed limbs, and some were scattered heads, I don't know if they were already like this in death, or if these rats were scattered and discarded on the way in.
As soon as the shadow exited the corridor, he wanted to look ahead. He was pulled by someone behind him.
"Wait. Don't step in. Peng Xiu's face was serious, and he pointed to the black lines of the sun shadow near him. "Look. "These black lines spread out around a mountain of bones, scattered everywhere, seemingly forming some kind of pattern in a regular pattern, and exuding a hint of malice.
"What's that?" Sunshadow didn't step in again, but moved closer, scrutinizing it. He didn't know much about them, but he could feel the hatred contained in those black lines and the slightest hint of malice that would make people a little more unpleasant if they got closer, as if they could devour the beauty of the world.
"It should be a formation in general. Peng Xiu took a closer look and said thoughtfully. "It's quite complicated, but it's broken. Part of it is a curse, part of it is a summon, part of it is imprisoned, it contains the malice of a curse, it is an ancient rune, and it is also very evil. ”
"Curse what?" said Sunkage, who knew something in her mind, but couldn't help but ask.
"You've already guessed it, right?" Peng Xiu looked at the eyes of the sun shadow, how smart the person in front of him was, I was afraid that he understood the big array in front of him better than him, but he still said. "The souls that curse these bones will never be freed, imprisoned in this dark temple, to atone for their endless sins. ”
"It seems that no matter where you are, what kind of faith you believe, what kind of gods you respect, and what kind of power you learn, you can't erase the malice and stupidity that are scattered in your bones. They are dead, and they still believe in the curse of recalling their souls and cost them their lives. These black lines are blood. Sunshadow looked at the bones and said with some sadness.
"Xiaoying, there are stupid people in this world at all times, and they have nothing to do with faith. Peng Xiu turned in the direction of the stone statue and continued. Some beliefs may not be so bad. ”
Sunshadow followed his gaze and looked at the idol again, and suddenly felt that the structure of the scales looked a little familiar, although there was no upper body, but the lower body still gave him a familiar feeling, where he had seen it before.
"Is it the stone statue of the Corner Tower?" Sun Shadow remembered and asked Peng Xiu.
"You remember. Peng Xiu nodded, confirming Sunshadow's conjecture.
"You've been here? That's why you didn't see the statue until you saw it in the corner tower. Who the hell is he? What kind of religion is this, and what does it have to do with the Holy Religion of Light? At that time, some things happened one after another, and I didn't come to ask what was going on, but now that I mentioned it again, Sun Shadow asked all the questions.
"Xiaoying, you ask so many questions at once, which one should I answer?" Peng Xiu smiled.
"You've been here?" said Sunshadow, who was very obedient and asked the first one first.
The corners of Peng Xiu's lips rose again, seemingly happy, but with a little sadness and nostalgia as he approached the altar, he nodded.
"I've been here. That's a lot of money, my mother and my uncle and I have been here and stayed here, that's because I was naughty and sneaked here, and I saw that this statue is still intact. I was amazed when I was in the corner tower, I didn't expect that there would be a statue of him anywhere else besides here. You know, whether you have seen his face or know about his existence is a felony. The Holy Cult of Light is an existence that will never be allowed. The Holy Cult of Light once sent people to search, destroy, and kill all the people who believed in it in every corner of the continent, and at that time we all thought that the incense was the last stronghold, the last place forgotten by the gods, and we all thought that this place could go on like this, forever hidden. But apparently impossible. Peng Xiu sighed imperceptibly.
"What kind of god is he, and why can't the Light Cult allow him to exist?"
"Our clan is still alive because my uncle and I don't know about it. Mother knew, so mother died. Peng Xiu's smile couldn't hide his sadness, and it was a little difficult for the corners of his mouth to be slightly hooked. This is his secret, an unknown secret, when he has no strength in his life, the saddest past, the most painful wound, but in an instant, he said it lightly.
A hug is worth a thousand words, especially if you really don't know when to say it. Where in this world can there be any language that can soothe such a heartache. Even though Sunshadow had experienced these heartaches several times, when he remembered it again, he still lost his words painfully.
He didn't know that this strong man, who existed like a god and a demon, actually had such a past.
"Xiaoying, this comforting way can only be used on me in the future. Peng Xiu rubbed the soft black hair on his chest, suppressing a throbbing in his heart.
It's been the end of the year, and even if the hatred and pain still exist, it's not as sad as it was at the beginning. For a person with a strong heart like him, even if he said this, he shouldn't have caused much emotional fluctuation again, but for some reason, there was a trace of sadness that was difficult to suppress the moment he said it to Sun Shadow. And the warmth of his chest, the gentle embrace, made his heart throb.
People like them who don't easily show their feelings, only in front of the person who wants to get a response, secretly reveal such a little, but this person also responds in a timely manner, no matter what kind of emotional response is carried out, but such an intimate action, how can it not make people throb.
"Why?" asked Ri Ying as he left Peng Xiu's arms in a daze.
Peng Xiu lost the warmth in his hand, a little regretful, and once again had his hand to rub Sun Shadow's head. "Because this way of comfort is like the way of a girl, which old man have you ever seen, holding other men to comfort him. ”
Sun Ying nodded in agreement, feeling that what Peng Xiu said made sense.
The smile on the corner of Peng Xiu's mouth came out again. The two tacitly began to wander around the hall again, looking for other clues.
"At that time, when I came here, it was still very well maintained. As long as he is here, he still can't avoid the words of memory, and seeing that Riying no longer asks, Peng Xiu said it himself while wandering around.
Peng Xiu recalled the last time he came, and the hatred here was devastating, and at the same time, it seemed that time had stood still, and there was no future.
I only heard the Japanese movie, but it was not screened, and it seemed to reply casually, "Hmm." Turning his head, he saw that he had gone to the southwest corner of the main hall at some point, and was observing something attentively. Peng Xiu walked over quickly.
"Xiaoying, what did you find? Peng Xiu complained, and also looked at the line of sight of the sun shadow.
The bluestone floor tiles in the southwest corner of the main hall are not covered with rubble, and there are imperceptible shallow lines that extend to the walls, forming a discordant pattern.
"Do you know what this pattern is?" said Sunshadow, crouching down and testing it with his hand.
"Well, I think I've seen it. Peng Xiu recalled. "It seems to be ......"
"Click......" Before Peng Xiu finished speaking. The Shadow had already turned some of the bluestone blocks, and there was a clattering sound due to the long absence of operation, and when the sound ended, nothing changed.
"Shadow, how do you know it's like this. Peng Xiu looked at the bluestone and the lines that extended to the wall, seamlessly forming a delicate pattern, with a bit of holy spirit and familiarity. "This coat of arms is the emblem of this religion. ”
"It feels very similar to the emblem of the Holy Religion. Look around, is there anything else. Sun Ying and Peng Xiu tacitly walked towards different corners of the main hall, and sure enough, there were similar turntables, and after turning one after another, there was a click around them, and then there was still no change.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Just when the two were confused, there was some strange noise in the southwest.
"It's like a human voice. From this wall?" said Sunshadow with his ear attached to the wall, affirming.
"There should also be a corridor in this direction, which passes through the town of Chambord. I came that time. It wasn't blocked, and I didn't notice that there was a mechanism here. ”
"Maybe it's new. After saying that, Sun Shadow had successfully touched a small stone, which at first glance was no different from the others on the side, but it felt very lubricated, and there were traces of repeated strokes. As soon as the hand moved, a door appeared.
"Ah......h
"Miga?" shouted as Sunshadow slashed some of the attacking rats as he observed the presence and noticed that the figure was somewhat familiar.
"Brother Shadow, boss, you're here to save me!" Miga heard a shout, as if hearing the sound of heaven, and he quickly turned around and threw himself at the two of them.
"Why did you kid do this? Peng Xiu asked. "It stinks, get out of here. "Kick away.
"I don't know, boss, it's scary to be locked up with rats all the time. Mega got up from the ground in an instant, except for looking a little haggard, some of the rats gnawed their gums basically did not have any major injuries, and their flexibility and attack power still existed.
"Let's talk as we go out. Sunshadow said. "Chambord?" he asked, looking at Peng Xiu.
Peng Xiu nodded.
"Brother Shadow, you must listen to me...... Those rats are really scary!" Mi Jian whispered as he chased after the two of them, who no longer listened to his story, and walked quickly towards the door where he was released.
"Wait for me, Brother Shadow, boss, aren't you here to save me......"
