II. Chapter 21

Darkness was dreary.

Li Mengru whispered in an out-of-breath tone: "Do you feel a little cold here?" ”

Although she deliberately lowered her voice, although her voice was very light and thin, but at this moment, it seemed to be amplified several times, slowly echoing in the silent darkness, she couldn't help but be stunned, and felt a little embarrassed inexplicably.

"Senior Sister Li, we are not thieves, we are here openly, what are you doing secretly?"

Suddenly, I only heard Lin Yi's slightly disdainful tone, and after a moment, he suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization, and said ambiguously: "Oh....... Is it whispering?"

Li Mengru only felt more embarrassed at this time, but in an instant, she forcibly came down naturally, straightened up, and raised her voice unconsciously, "Hmph, I want you to take care of it!"

Everyone heard these words clearly, of course, they laughed at Lin Yi's jokes, but for Li Mengru's words, they all felt it, and subconsciously felt it carefully, there was indeed a strange feeling in the closed tower, it seemed that the cold was a little unusual, this kind of cold seemed to be able to penetrate into the skin, and the faint chill made people feel uncomfortable from the depths of their hearts, and even a little nervous.

Jiang Ming didn't have time to speak, but saw Tie Zhen, who was closest to him, suddenly scratched his head, looked at Li Mengru, and said with a little dazedness: "Eh, Senior Sister Li, it's nothing if you don't say it, after you say this, I really feel a little cold." ”

Tie Zhen has always been excited and curious because he is about to see the stele, and he is a rude person, so he doesn't feel any difference along the way, but at this time, after feeling it carefully, he can't help but be surprised.

At this time, Jiang Ming raised his eyes, and the figures in front of him were still plain and normal, and there was no need to explain at all, just when the three of them were puzzled, it was the clear space in the middle of the crowd that looked back and smiled, and explained kindly: "There is no light here all year round, and there is a water source in it, and the water vapor bursts out, so the tower is also a little wet, and after a long time, it will be transformed into a cold atmosphere, the three of them are here for the first time, and the space is claustrophobic, and it is common sense to feel uncomfortable." ”

After speaking, he seemed to smile and said, "When the little monk first came here, it was the same, but it was nothing if you get used to it." ”

only heard Li Mengru's thoughtful soft "oh", and no one spoke anymore, only the slight footsteps walked away......

In the dark, I don't know how long I walked, the crowd suddenly stopped, and only a woman's voice was heard: "This is it." ”

Jiang Ming knew that it was Yu Xinshuang, her voice was elegant and indifferent, not mixed with any emotion, this kind of voice seemed to be unique to her, pleasant but inexplicably made people feel a sense of distance.

In the dimness, Yu Xinshuang's figure moved slightly, and went to a place close to the stone wall, and when he stretched out his hand, he didn't know what entrance he touched, but he made a slight sound, and the sound sounded roughly like it came from the top of the tower.

"Click......"

"Click......"

With the sound, there was a trace of light suddenly coming from the direction of the top of the tower, Jiang Ming looked up, only to feel that something was slowly rotating above, as it rotated, the surrounding light became brighter and brighter, until finally several holes of different sizes were formed, and the light was shot from the hole, looking along the hole, you could vaguely see pieces of black clouds, what is not the sky?

And the originally dark tower was also lit up at this time.

Looking roughly, I saw several pillars of light of different thicknesses staggered horizontally, and Pingbai gave birth to a bit of beautiful feeling, and there was a very thick pillar of light in the center of the top of the tower, straight down, just falling on a jade-white stone tablet.

I don't know what material the stone tablet is, ancient and simple, like a stone not a stone, like a jade not a jade, so quietly bathed in the pillar of light, the floating dust in the surrounding air slowly flipped and floated, as if gathering a faint brilliance, it seems to be a sense of sacred solemnity, like a momentary illusion, it seems to be silently telling, the distant millennium, ten thousand years, eternal time!

Jiang Ming's eyes were attracted by it, but he couldn't move away anymore, obviously there was only a stone tablet more than one person high, but he felt that he had to look up, and there was an indescribable majestic meaning in his heart, even if he wanted to surrender to this stone tablet, there was no second word, no hesitation!

"Amitabha!"

Suddenly, a loud and majestic Buddha horn came, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, Jiang Ming's body was shocked, and he suddenly came back to his senses, but he was stunned again, the stone tablet in front of him was so close to him, and he could even see the subtle and messy lines on his body, and a few steps further under his feet, there was a huge waterhole, glowing with sparkling cold light, and the stone tablet was magically floating on the water!

Jiang Ming couldn't help swallowing his saliva, only to feel that his throat was a little dry, and at that moment, he was unconsciously attracted by the stone tablet, if he took two steps forward, he was afraid that he would fall into this pool of water that I don't know how deep.

He sighed in his heart that this stone tablet was weird and powerful at the same time, but also had palpitations, just when he was stunned, fortunately the Buddha woke himself up, just when he turned around and was about to return to the same place, but found that everyone was staring at him with strange eyes, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, hurriedly drilled back into the crowd, but his eyes looked slightly towards the clear sky.

There was a caring look on his face, but he didn't speak, just nodded lightly, Jiang Ming took a deep breath, sorted out his mood, and looked at the stone tablet again, but his heart suddenly became a little complicated, as if he was suddenly lost, as if he was already very eager for the stone tablet and wanted to get closer!

This unprovoked thought, but he himself was taken aback, could it be that he just glanced at the stele closely, and he had feelings for it, and he was a little reluctant to stay away?

Just when he couldn't figure it out, Li Mengru stared at him with strange eyes, and seemed to complain angrily: "What happened to you just now, keep going over there, so that you still ignore me!"

Jiang Ming was slightly surprised "Ah", he didn't hear any other sound except for the Buddha horn just now, but he was a little embarrassed in an instant, I don't know how to explain it, I can't say that it was because I was fascinated by a stone tablet, right?

At this moment, Tie Zhen glanced at Jiang Ming, who was hesitating, and said angrily: "Brother Jiang, what is there to be embarrassed to say, we are all cultivators, and it is not normal to pursue the Dao Law, in the face of this stone tablet that can improve cultivation, what is wrong with not being able to hold it for a while?"

After speaking, he stared at Jiang Ming with big eyes, Jiang Ming looked at his eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, why so many people couldn't control it, and the feeling at that time, how could it be so simple, although he thought so in his heart, but he didn't speak, it seemed to be a tacit.

Li Mengru was also relieved when she heard this, among the people in this line, the junior brother's Taoism is the lowest, although he doesn't seem to care much on the face, but I'm afraid that he still wants to improve his cultivation in the bottom of his heart, in the face of the great opportunity in front of him, it is not a strange thing to be anxious for a while, thinking of this, she glanced at Jiang Ming complicatedly, although she practiced hard, but because of her mediocre qualifications, it has been difficult to improve, and her heart is slightly sour at the moment, and she secretly swore that she must take into account the feelings of her junior brother in the future, and she can no longer say that her junior brother is stupid!

But Jiang Ming didn't know the ridiculous thoughts in his senior sister's heart, and began to look at the surrounding environment silently at this time, the inside of the tower was straight up and down, and there was no compartment, the surrounding stone walls were angular and angular, like the external shape, they were all octagonal, and there was a circular pool in the center, the water surface was like a mirror, without ripples, even if he stood at a long distance, he could still feel the slightest chill and a unique damp smell that loomed from it.

The stele magically floats on the side of the water, because of the reason why the pillar of light is shrouded, it is very eye-catching, Jiang Ming is also because of this, the first sight is attracted by the stele and his gaze, but this side should be the back of the stele, only the subtle lines are like veins, and nothing else.

In addition to the mysterious stele in front of you, the structural layout of this tower is also incomprehensible, it is like a straight cylinder, which is also the reason why the light from the top can shine down, and the most important thing is why there is a waterhole in the tower at the end of the tower.

At this moment, Li Mengru frowned slightly, obviously having all kinds of questions, and couldn't help but gently touch Lin Yi on the side with his arm, and asked in a soft voice: "It can't really be a feng shui treasure here, right?"

"I told you before, don't you believe it?"

Lin Yi glanced at him, but he still lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows: "Whose tower will be like this, is it yours?"

Li Mengru couldn't help but shake her head, but she saw Lin Yi glance in the direction where Yu Xinshuang and the others were, and made sure that no one was looking at this side, so she lowered her body and said mysteriously: "When we came in, Senior Ye repeatedly told me not to touch the things inside, don't you think there is something abnormal?"

"Anomalous ....... A little bit......"

Li Mengru frowned and groaned, and hesitated: "However, my junior brother and I are here for the first time, and I have talked about the rules here twice, so it can be regarded as a pass." ”

Lin Yi glanced at it again, quite a bit of rotten wood that could not be carved, then raised his chin and nodded a few points in other directions, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Do you see anything here?"

In the empty tower, although the place is large, but except for the stone tablet floating on the water, there is nothing else, Li Mengru is also a smart person, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he said in surprise: "You mean you can't move that stone tablet!"

After her sudden realization, her voice also improved a lot, Lin Yi hurriedly made a silent gesture, but the voice had already been heard, everyone looked over, but their eyes were full of more or less strangeness, but soon they gradually faded down, they are outstanding disciples of the righteous path, they are all intelligent people, presumably they should have guessed this a long time ago, but they are all tacit, so it is not too surprising to hear this sentence at this time.

I saw Yu Xinshuang glance at Lin Yi coldly, and then his eyes were on Li Mengru, although his face was expressionless, but he seemed to have more patience between his words, and said calmly: "This stone tablet has a great origin, and we don't know the mystery of it, so let's follow the rules here." ”
