Chapter 652: Into the Abyss (11)
After lighting the torches, Chu Xunyu and Liu Jue were taken aback when they saw the appearance of the house, only to see that what was placed in the room was a row of bookshelves and furnishings in the desk, and the two were very surprised, this is ...... Traps? Or did anyone really live here?
Chu Xunyu cautiously walked into the house, and found that these furnishings did not seem to have any traps, they were all ordinary daily furniture, touched with his hands, there was a layer of dust on them, indicating that no one had been here for many years, there were two bookshelves in the house, and a lot of books were displayed on them, a few desks, four stools, and a wooden bed, but most of these things were rotten badly, although there seemed to be no change, but Chu Xunyu could clearly feel that as long as he gently pushed with his hand, these wooden furniture would fall apart.
The cotton wool on the bed and the bamboo slips on the bookshelf had long since rotted, leaving only a few traces, Chu Xunyu stretched out his head to look at the bamboo pages left on the bookshelf and the rope that was so rotten that it was scattered into countless segments, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently, took down a broken bamboo page, wiped the dust on it with his thumb, and tried to identify the handwriting.
"How's that?" Liu Jue asked with concern.
"I can't see it. Chu Xunyu shook his head helplessly, "It's too old, the cold and humidity here are too heavy, and it has already corroded it, even if it is the anger of sulfur fire, it can't stand the continuous flow of cold water for thousands of years." ”
Liu Jue smiled bitterly and joked casually: "I don't know who lives here, and I'm not afraid of hurting the old cold legs." ”
Chu Xunyu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked around, and secretly said in his heart What Liu Jue said was that if there were people living here, there should be a door, but this stone house was boxy, and the walls were clear at a glance, and there was not even a door, how could this person come in? Even if you have great means, what cultivator would be idle and bored to build a house for yourself, and then leave no door, and use the Taoist method to come in through the wall every day? Isn't this sick, thinking of this, doubts arise, is it ......
"Could it be what?" asked Liu Jue.
Chu Xunyu told Liu Jue that there was a very crazy idea, that is, this house was built from the inside, and this person used great mana to build the house from the inside, and then he didn't want to go out at all, so he sealed himself here, so he didn't plan to leave the door in and out at all.
"Is this person a madman?" Liu Jue was taken aback when he heard this, and looked left and right, "You want to suffocate yourself here?"
Chu Xunyu shook his hand: "Actually, this idea is not tenable at all, if this person seals himself here, then he should be able to see his corpse, even if he is ascended to immortality, there will not be any trace of a living person, there is a problem here, or how to erase the corpse, or there is some other way out." ”
When Liu Jue heard that there were still corpses, he panicked at the moment, and the arrogance of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly dragged the corner of Chu Xunyu's clothes and said, "Senior brother, let's go, this is not a good place." ”
Chu Xunyu sighed, turned his head to Liu Jue and said, "Sister, if you are afraid, just stand at the door first, I will check here so as not to miss any clues, we are now seizing every opportunity to leave here." ”
Liu Jue nodded, turned around and was just about to leave, but the flower was discolored, and let out a scream, Chu Xunyu immediately crossed his sword and stood in front of Liu Jue and roared: "Where?"
"Former ...... Front. Liu Jue pointed to the wall with a frightened face and said, "The wall ...... on the wall!"
Chu Xunyu leaned over and was about to stab over to kill the opponent, but he was suddenly stunned, found that there was nothing on the wall, and immediately asked, "Do you see clearly?"
"Yes!" Liu Jue stammered, "The hole in the wall, the hole we came in is gone!
Chu Xunyu was stunned for a moment, stood up and looked left and right, and his complexion changed at the moment, it turned out that the walls around him were flat, and the hole that he came in just now disappeared without a sound, this is a big mistake in the world, the two of them were obviously standing between them, and the cave under their noses disappeared, is this a joke? Chu Xunyu walked to the wall and touched the wall with his fingertips, there was no trace at all, if it wasn't for the gravel on the ground that still exudes cold air as proof, he was really not sure if he broke the wall just now.
Liu Jue stammered and asked, "Master...... Senior brother, is this the legendary 'ghost hitting the wall'? The ghost of the master here is still lingering, and he has become a powerful ghost?"
"Don't panic, how can I be afraid of lonely souls and wild ghosts?" Chu Xunyu hurriedly comforted Liu Jue, persuading her not to panic, the situation of "ghosts hitting the wall" is just some lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering the world, taking advantage of the fear in human nature. Cowardice and other characteristics are confusing with ghostly energy, making people spin in place unconsciously, a bit like the illusion of a cultivator, and it is a superficial illusion, far less terrifying than people's legends, Chu Xunyu has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he naturally has a lot of experience in cracking such a method, as long as he stabilizes his mind and finds the iconic things around him as a reference, he will definitely be able to go out, so this is not a ghost hitting the wall at all, there must be something strange in it.
In fact, Chu Xunyu also thought that there were ghosts to make trouble, if there was Mu Yuan, it would be fine, and any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods would not be enough, but he was not there, and Master Mo Ya's rosary was also returned to him, and he was naturally not afraid to fight bravely with others, but when dealing with ghosts, it was really a lion circling around a hedgehog, and he had no way to start.
Looking left and right, there was no problem, Chu Xunyu was also quite helpless, but he couldn't tell Liu Jue, so he said to her: "Senior sister, don't be discouraged, you release the ice python and freeze the wall, even if it is weird, don't be afraid, according to our current methods, it is easy to break this wall, and it is a big deal to get out." ”
Liu Jue nodded, so he released the cold air of the frost ice python again, freezing the wall, Chu Xunyu flew over, only to find that the wall was only cracked a lot, and it did not collapse completely, I couldn't help but be a little strange, so I picked up the gravel with all my hands and feet, and gasped at the moment, I didn't expect that the tunnel originally dug behind the stone wall was gone at this time, and the mountain stone and earth wall was intact as before, is this?
This is a strange house, Chu Xunyu was secretly frightened in his heart, at this time, he must have been ambushed by some means, and he broke in rashly, but he was buried alive by unknown means deeper underground, trapped in this disgusting house, Liu Jue took back the ice python, looked at the wall and asked Chu Xunyu blankly: "Senior brother, what should we do now?"
The torch in his hand was also burned out at this time, and it was extinguished after a few unwilling jumps, and Chu Xunyu and Liu Jue fell into darkness completely......
