Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bright Moon Palace
Just as they came to the bottom of the bridge, ready to use the big trees that grew on the stone wall to climb one by one, there was a sound of "rustling" behind them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This voice Xia Chen was very familiar, but it was not as monotonous as he had heard before, but it was intertwined!
The three of them couldn't help but look back at the same time, and at this glance, Xia Chen's goosebumps came out! The old man looked surprised, and the woman in red frowned slightly.
A group of black spiders crawled towards them in dense packs! Some of them were as big as the one Xia Chen had killed before, and the small ones were as big as his thighs!
The old man looked at the group of spiders and said weakly to Xia Chen: "It seems that the relatives and friends of the spider you killed are looking for revenge on you." ”
"This ......" Xia Chen couldn't help but shudder, if he was really caught by these spiders, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, he would have a pair of bones left, no, there should not even be any bones left!
The old man smiled, rose into the air, and floated a few feet ahead: "You go up first, I'll deal with them, if you don't destroy these spiders, it's a scourge to keep them." ”
"Old-timers, be careful. Xia Chen reminded worriedly, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention a spider with eight legs, this is dense, I don't know how many feet!
"Don't worry, if he can't destroy these spiders, he won't have the face to mix in this world. After the woman in red said a word, she held the unconscious Ling Huxue with one hand, and dragged Xia Chen with the other, and before Xia Chen could react, she "swished" and ran up, and in the blink of an eye, she jumped to the crown of a tree a hundred feet high, standing on the edge of the canopy.
Xia Chen couldn't help but look down through the moonlight, my obedient man, so tall!
In the line of sight, when I saw the old man's figure shaking, the spiders turned into nothingness, and there was no scum left!
"Whoosh!"
The woman in red took them to another run, and then they rose a hundred feet again, a total of ten times, before they reached the bridgehead safely.
When his feet stepped on the land at the head of the bridge, Xia Chen felt as if he had walked from hell and returned to the world!
glanced at the woman in red beside her, and found that some sweat was on her forehead, and her breathing was relatively rapid. It seems that bringing two people up consumed a lot of internal strength.
"Follow me. The woman in red let go of Xia Chen, then picked up Ling Huxue and walked towards the building, and said to Xia Chen at the same time.
"Hmm!" Xia Chen hurriedly replied and ran to follow.
He was about to see his grandfather, and he was very excited, and he still had a lot of questions in his heart that he needed to answer from his grandfather.
When he came to the door of the building, Xia Chen found that it was a temple, but it looked similar to the rich families in some small cities he had been to with his grandfather when he was a child. There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque is written with three wooden three-point, majestic characters - Mingyue Palace. The eaves are composed of bucket arches, wood carvings, and paintings, and the walls are sill walls.
When I looked at this building before, due to the obscuration of the big banyan tree, I could only see the tip of the iceberg on its appearance!
In front of the temple gate, there are two stone carvings, and the side of the stone carvings looks like people and non-humans, and they are very abstract. If you look at it from the front, you can see a moon above the stone carving. Xia Chen believes that this should be a totem.
Just when Xia Chen was interested in this stone carving, the woman in red had already carried Ling Huxue into the hall, so he took his attention away and walked quickly towards the main hall.
When his feet crossed the threshold and he was at the temple gate, he was "startled" by the scene inside, his mouth was half-open, and his eyes did not blink for a long time.
It extends from the door to the depth, about a dozen zhang, the innermost place is a bed, the bed is cushioned with white cushions, the cushions are decorated, it is the moon season. On both sides of the bed, there is an incense burner, and at this time, wisps of green smoke escape from the incense burner, and then float in the hall, making the whole hall fragrant and pleasant. Xia Chen couldn't help but sniff it, and found that this fragrance was the same as the fragrance on Ling Huxue's body.
On both sides of the hall, there are nine pillars seven or eight feet high erected on each side, and a bright sphere is placed on the pillar, and the light in this hall is emitted by these spheres, and there is no dead end! On the walls on both sides are hung white veils, and the veils are automatic in the absence of wind, and they look very elegant. Coupled with the various decorations in the palace, Xia Chen thought that this was a palace even more magnificent than the legendary palace!
At this time, the woman in red had already walked to the edge of the bed with Ling Huxue in her arms and lay her on it.
Xia Chen followed up and stood next to the woman in red, and when he saw that Ling Huxue's lips were now warm, he was relieved.
There was a sound of footsteps, Xia Chen and the woman in red looked to the right front, and a person walked out of the side room. Only then did Xia Chen discover that there was a side room on each side of the innermost part of the hall.
The person who came was none other than Xia Chen's grandfather!
"Grandpa!" Xia Chen felt like a world away, his eyes were wet, so he pounced and hugged his grandfather.
And the woman in red, when she saw Grandpa Xia Chen, her body was shocked, and then she closed her eyes slightly.
Taking a deep breath, she said lightly, "Are you awake?"
Grandpa patted Xia Chen on the shoulder, raised his eyes to look at the woman in red, and then replied with only one word simply and clearly-um.
When she opened her eyes, the woman in red frowned slightly, as if she was not satisfied with Grandpa Xia Chen's simple and clear answer, but she didn't blame him.
Xia Chen felt something strange and took a step out, looking at his grandfather and the woman in red.
He firmly believes that there is an untold secret between his grandfather and the woman in red!
Grandpa Xia Chen and the woman in red, you look at me, I look at you, no one has said a word for a while. Two people, as if they want to see through each other!
Just as Xia Chen scratched the back of his head and wondered, the old man walked in calmly from outside the hall, and it seemed that he had eliminated the spider. In the face of so many spiders, the old man eliminated them in such a short time, which once again impressed Xia Chen.
The old man walked in, but Grandpa Xia Chen and the woman in red still didn't look away.
The old man who originally had a smile on his face, after seeing this scene, couldn't help but be stunned, restrained his smile, and then beckoned to Xia Chen.
Walking up to the old man, the old man asked him, "What's wrong with them?"
Xia Chen said with a confused face: "They just looked at it like this as soon as they met, I don't know what's wrong!"
"Did your grandfather just wake up?" asked the old man again.
"Looks like yes!" Xia Chen nodded back.
"That's okay, as long as you don't fight!" the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Chen was curious about his words, why did he fight?
However, just when he was puzzled, the long skirt of the woman in red was once again windless, and suddenly floated back, turning into a red shadow and swept towards Grandpa Xia Chen!
"I'm really going to fight!" the old man stretched out his hand, speechless.
"Huh!"
The red shadow swept in front of Grandpa Xia Chen, revealing the figure of the woman in red, and at the same time, Ling Huxue's short sword appeared less than two inches away from Grandpa Xia Chen's throat!
