Chapter 17: Nameless Dry Bones
In the deep valley, Xue Lingfeng and Wumei have been trapped here for two days unconsciously, Xue Lingfeng has been thinking about how to get out all the time, but the cliffs around him are almost seen through, and he still hasn't found a place to get out, and in such a dead valley, he can't think of a way to get out.
On the contrary, Wu Mei was not in a hurry at all, and looked very happy and comfortable, so that Xue Lingfeng wondered if she had deliberately brought herself here, or that with her intelligence and advanced cultivation, there should be a way to get out of here, but he thought that he was a righteous man, and it was not easy for him to ask her.
During the day, the dancing charms watched the fire trees and silver flowers, picked some flowers and wild fruits, and teased the pair of unknown giant birds, but unfortunately the pair of big birds still ignored them, and they spent almost all of the day in a lazy sleep, not even eating or drinking.
At night, I watched the fireflies all over the trees by Xue Lingfeng's side, at first leaning on his shoulder, and then I fell asleep directly in his arms, not talking about the righteous path and the devil's path, nor bringing up the matter of going, but I had a very leisurely and comfortable life, but I pity Xue Lingfeng for suffering all kinds of arrogant and humiliating from her day and night, and I can't resist if I want to!
On this day, the new sunlight shone vertically on the fire tree silver flower, Xue Lingfeng was leaning on a boulder, stupidly looking up at the towering cliff, until he saw that his eyes were sore, so he looked away sullenly, rubbed his eyes and turned his head to look at the fire tree silver flower.
In the sun, the red leaves shimmered red, like a burning flame, and the fine silver flowers on them were quietly suspended, and he followed the still silver flowers, his eyes kept swimming, and then he stared at them angrily, and suddenly he jumped, and those silver petals were put together, and it was in the shape of a human figure, and in a trance, it was like a girl dancing in a sea of fire.
Xue Lingfeng's mind flashed with inspiration, and he hurriedly rushed towards the fire tree silver flower, and saw that the dancing charm was trying to tease the two huge strange birds by the waterhole, so he gasped and shouted at her eagerly feeding her.
"I don't call for hey, look at your stupid way of hurrying!"
Wu Mei turned around, saw Xue Lingfeng's face excited, and wondered in his heart for a moment, he walked over and continued: "Look at your happiness, have you found any elixir immortal weapon? Or have you seen your junior sister!"
Xue Lingfeng gasped a few times, and hurriedly said, "No, no, come...... Come and see. ”
As he spoke, he took the hand of the dancing charm and ran up, swept away the boredom and boredom of the past two days, and pointed to the fire tree and silver flower from a distance and said, "Look, um...... If you look closely, those silver-white petals are connected to see if they look like a human figure...... It's dancing!"
The dancing charm raised her eyes, stared at it for a few seconds, and after staring at it for a few seconds, the silver-white flowers in the distance were indeed connected into a clear figure shape, and in a trance, she actually moved, dancing in the firelight, and even changed all kinds of movements, the more she looked at it, the more bizarre she felt, like a dream, and after taking her eyes away or blinking twice, she returned to stationary again.
After retracting her gaze, the dancing charm fell into a burst of thought, her face was surprised and confused, and she actually said to herself: "How does this scene look like...... It's not ...... It's impossible, it's impossible!"
Xue Lingfeng stammered when he saw her suddenly speak, and his face was surprised and puzzled, and he hurriedly asked eagerly: "What is it like? What is impossible? Have you found something? Is there a way to get out?"
After Wu Mei calmed down, Xue Lingfeng glanced at Xue Lingfeng and said: "Look at you like that, you want to go crazy, I didn't expect you to be stupid, and you can still find this, this scene is like ...... For example, my Heavenly Demon Sect's stunt 'Heavenly Demon Fire Dance', but this Heavenly Demon Fire Dance is said to have been lost for five hundred years, how could it appear here, impossible!"
Xue Lingfeng naturally hadn't heard of any Heavenly Demon Fire Dance, and it was a Demon Sect exercise, so he didn't have much interest in understanding it at the moment, he just wanted to go out from here, and thought for a while: "This must not be naturally generated, someone must have bothered to skillfully plant them, that is, someone here has been here!"
Dancing Charm shrugged her shoulders and said, "You're not stupid, aren't you, but you've looked at this valley more than ten times, and there's not even a ghost, and you haven't seen any traces of anyone living there." ”
"Since it's man-made, there will definitely be some traces left, why don't we look carefully, we will definitely find something!"
After Xue Lingfeng finished speaking, he took the hand of the dancing charm and left, his face was so excited that he didn't even stutter when he spoke, and he was not shy to take the initiative to hold the hand of the dancing charm at this moment.
Xue Lingfeng in front of him only looked at the towering cliffs, which were all smooth and straight cliffs, and there was nothing to search for at a glance, so he could only give up in the end, and now he only looked for the bottom, and began to search carefully from the beginning.
This way to search, actually found some large animal skeletons, it seems that it should have fallen down and fell directly to death, and finally let him and the dancing charm find a cave in the dense forest next to the fire tree silver flower, the entrance of the cave is not big, the strange thing is that there is not even a bird or beast near the entrance of the cave, and the small animals passing by here instinctively bypass away.
Both of them felt that this situation was a little weird, but Xue Lingfeng still mustered up the courage to carefully grope his way in, and the dancing charm followed behind him, and stopped after walking for a short while, because the black feet inside couldn't be seen clearly at all, and there was a forest covering the bottom of this already deep valley, and the middle of this cave was even darker, so black that he couldn't see his fingers.
Just as Xue Lingfeng was anxiously thinking about what to do, a white light flashed in his chest, and Han Yuzhu flew out of his arms, just enough to be used for lighting, Xue Lingfeng looked at Han Yuzhu, smiled lightly and walked inside, Wu Mei looked in a trance, and also followed.
With the dazzling white light of the cold jade beads, the cave suddenly brightened, and everything could be seen clearly.
This place looks like an ordinary natural cave, there is no trace of artificially carved and polished, and it is not deep, after walking for a while, you will reach the end, only to see a huge stone platform in the center of the mountain wall, on which a skeleton sits with its back against the mountain wall, and two black hole-like eye sockets are looking out of the cave.
Xue Lingfeng was startled by this skeleton, and after swaying for a while, he fell down a little, and the dancing charm hurriedly went up to help him, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "You are still afraid of this! You, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the leader of the righteous path, deserve to be enough!"
Xue Lingfeng ignored her, and walked forward calmly, seeing that the skeleton was still wearing a good set of clothes, but it had been eroded by the years and was very old.
He stood and looked at it for a while, but he still couldn't tell which sect this costume was unique or what was special, so he turned to look at the dancing charm, but the dancing charm also shook her head, with her experience and knowledge, she didn't know why, and she got closer to watch, but she still couldn't see anything.
Xue Lingfeng looked around carefully, there was no other passage, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and returned to the skeleton and said to the dancing ghost who was still watching: "Maybe he's just an ordinary person, just like us, he just accidentally fell into this valley." ”
Wu Mei glanced at him, and said angrily: "How can you be smart and stupid, this deep valley is at least nearly a thousand zhang deep, ordinary people have already fallen to pieces, how could they come to this cave! When I took you down at that time, if it weren't for the Dance of the Supreme Light, you and I would have seen King Yama a long time ago."
And if you look at this boulder platform, it is obvious that it was flattened by a sword, and such a smooth and smooth incision shows that it is a sword that is completely natural! More importantly, you see that this boulder grows at the bottom of the cave, that is to say, he is not splitting vertically, but sweeping with a sword so casually, don't talk about me, even my father and your master of the Sword Gate that day are definitely far from being able to do it!"
Xue Lingfeng was speechless, yes, he only wanted to find a way out, he didn't even think of this simple, he shook his head, and asked the dancing charm sideways: "Then why did he come to the bottom of this deep valley, and why didn't he go out, he should ...... with his cultivation."
"That's exactly what I can't figure out!" said the dancing charm, lost in thought again.
"Maybe even if he cultivates to be transcendent, he won't be able to get out of this valley, hey! You and I are both unfortunate people, so I'll take your bones and put them in the ground!"
Xue Lingfeng walked up as he spoke, bowed to the skeleton, and slowly stretched out his hand, as soon as his hand touched it, there was a bang, but the skeleton fell apart, piling up one by one, it seems that this skeleton has been here for quite a long time.
Xue Lingfeng was frightened for a moment, and only after settling down did he lean down, pick up the broken bones, and put them in his clothes.
Just when the skeleton fell apart with a bang, the dancing charm suddenly trembled all over her body, her face was full of fearful expressions, and she only felt that there was an invisible pressure around her that suddenly pressed hard, as if there were thousands of yin spirits and evil ghosts whispering in her ears, with a strong killing intent, which made her feel suffocated at that moment, and a desperate sense of fear surged in her heart.
Fortunately, this feeling flashed by, and in fright, she hurriedly looked at Xue Lingfeng, but saw that he was putting broken bones on his shirt piece by piece as if he had nothing to do, and she couldn't help but feel strange and suspicious in her heart.
After Xue Lingfeng finished cleaning up those broken bones, he wrapped his clothes and was about to turn around, but his eyes vaguely swept a few lines of handwriting, he put down the package in his hand, swept away the dust on it, and sure enough, a few lines of clear handwriting were revealed, and as soon as he was happy, he shouted to Wumei: "Come and see, there are a few lines of words!"
Wu Mei still had palpitations, looked at the bones wrapped in clothes, slowly moved over, leaned on Xue Lingfeng's side and looked down, and saw a few lines of big characters clearly written on the boulder platform:
Xuanguang was shocked
Half-awake and half-drunk to kill ghosts and gods
Ninety thousand miles
800 years
Pride goes
Reminiscing about the past
A fame is nothing but vain
A few lines of big characters are vigorous and vigorous, as if they are still restrained with the pride of the sky, and the smooth stone slab is pressed into it, which should be written with unparalleled strength and finger power.
Further down are two more lines:
There is nothing to be ashamed of in life
Only the infatuated people
These two lines of words have completely lost the momentum above, and they are faint and a little blurry, as if they were written reluctantly because of sadness or imminent death.
The two of them searched for other places, but found no other handwriting, and these lines did not reveal more important information such as the date, and even the name of this person was not left, so they did not know who this pile of dry bones was, but it was certain that this person must be a transcendent cultivator, and his behavior was unrestrained, and he had a heroic spirit.
After reading it, Wu Mei sighed: "It seems that he must have been a very great character back then, hey! It's a pity that he is also a negative person!"
Xue Lingfeng also sighed lightly and said, "No matter what kind of character he was in life, after he died, all the past will be empty. Let's go, it's fate to see each other, let's bury his bones. ”
