Chapter 227: Clever Drawings
Su Caixiao thought about it carefully, and felt reasonable, and said: "Listening to what you said, I have heard my mother mention that the ancestors who built this Lingjue Palace are very remarkable, not only built a huge palace on the top of the snow-capped mountain, but also hollowed out the ground, reserved a way to retreat, and built a vast earth palace underneath. ”
Shen Zhuoyu was puzzled: "Why, this Ling Jue Palace was not built by your grandmother?" As soon as he spoke, he thought of the problem, and suddenly said: "Yes, such a big project, even if it doesn't take a hundred years, at least it will take decades of work, how can it be completed overnight...... In this way, your grandmother is definitely not the first palace master of the Ling Jue Palace......"
Su Caixiao said: "Grandma is indeed the first palace master of Lingjue Palace, but when she was the palace master, this palace already existed! As for who and when this palace was built, my mother is not very clear. ”
After hearing this, Shen Zhuoyu was very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Even if this palace was not built by your grandmother, but after all, she came here and must be inextricably linked with this palace, doesn't your mother know the details and origin of your grandmother?"
Su Caixiao sighed lightly: "I'm afraid I really don't know, otherwise, why have I never heard of her." ”
It turned out that the history of Ling Jue Palace was so foggy, which greatly surprised Shen Zhuoyu's expectations.
When the two of them discussed, they had already walked far away, but they never saw the end of the cave, and the surroundings were a little brighter than before, and they could see each other clearly.
"There is light!" Su Caixiao noticed it, and pointed to the faint light in front of him in surprise.
Shen Zhuoyu was also happy, but he was not too surprised. When he learned that this Ling Jue Palace had a long history, he had already guessed. The cave wasn't as simple as they thought, he even guessed. Even Shang Yu, who caused them to fall, may not know the true origin of this cave.
His eyesight was already excellent, and he looked at the cave carefully by the glimmer of light.
I saw that this cave is about three zhang high, about two zhang wide, the cave wall is smooth, and there are dense melting hammers hanging above, all of which are round like jade, as if they have been polished.
"Sure enough, it's a cave,......," Shen Zhuoyu was convinced. He turned his head to look at the road, it was still pitch black, and the cave didn't have many forks in the road, so it was clear that the faint light was coming from ahead.
"Great! Where there is light, there is an exit, we are saved!" Su Caixiao was overjoyed and couldn't help but applaud.
The two of them could see, and their steps were a little brisker, and they walked forward more and more. The stronger the light, and not long after, I saw that the cave gradually expanded, and the halo also expanded. Not far ahead, a hole suddenly appeared!
The dazzling light shone into the cave from the entrance, and Su Caixiao couldn't help but be overjoyed. Rushed forward, and at this time. Shen Zhuoyu also showed a happy smile and estimated the hour. The two of them had been in the dark for most of the hour, and now that they had finally seen the light of day, it was time to laugh.
Unexpectedly, before he could laugh out loud, he heard Cai Xiao in front of him exclaim, and he fled back as if flying, threw himself into his arms, and said in a loud voice: "Dead people, so many dead people!"
Shen Zhuoyu's heart was slightly cold, dead people? There are dead people here? He patted Cai Xiao's back, comforted him for a while, and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave. Su Caixiao is not a timid woman, she was frightened, it was too sudden, and now that she has calmed down, she has also gained the courage to follow behind.
The two walked out ten steps, and a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in front of them, although Su Caixiao had seen it once, he still couldn't help but exhale softly, Shen Zhuoyu hurriedly hugged her into his arms, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here......"
He stared at it, and couldn't help frowning, only to see that around the entrance of the cave, dozens of cold white bones were lying horizontally and vertically, some were close to each other, some were facing the sky, and some were curled up in a ball, but without exception, they all showed a painful posture.
Outside the cave, the cold mountain wind continued to pour into it, blowing through those white bones, and letting out bursts of whimpering, as if a ghost was crying, Su Caixiao's vest was slightly cold, and he was a little closer to Shen Zhuoyu unconsciously.
Shen Zhuoyu watched from a distance and couldn't see it very clearly, so he said softly: "Cai Xiao, you stand still, I'll come and ...... to take a look."
Su Caixiao nodded and said with concern: "You have to be careful......
"It doesn't matter. Shen Zhuoyu smiled calmly, after several years of tempering, he is no longer the immature boy he was back then.
He was silent, and walked all the way, his eyes swept over the white bones of Sensen, but the doubt between his eyebrows deepened. He crouched down, stretched out a hand, and gently brushed one of the white bones, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, there was a click, and the white bones immediately scattered into a pile of white ash.
"Strange, these bones have no scars, why did they die?" he groaned, slowly stood up, and looked at a few more bodies, the situation was roughly the same, and after thinking about it, he couldn't find an answer.
Su Caixiao watched him walk slowly, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he looked out of the cave, and at that moment, she clearly saw that Shen Zhuoyu's body shook slightly.
"Are you alright?" asked Su Caixiao.
Shen Zhuoyu turned around silently, there was not the slightest joy on his face, Su Caixiao saw his look, his heart had sunk half, and said astringently: "What's wrong...... Shen Zhuoyu shook his head and sighed: "Cai Xiao...... It's a cliff outside, and we can't get out. ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Caixiao's expression froze on his face.
There was a dead silence in the cave for a while, only the sad sound of the wind outside the cave.
I don't know when, Su Caixiao has also come closer, his eyes are staring intently at the corner of the wall, there, there are two white bones close to each other, it is not difficult to see that these two are a pair of men and women, and at the last moment before death, they still hugged each other in their arms.
Shen Zhuoyu looked at it, and his heart was also shocked, and he sighed sincerely: What a pair of infatuated men and women, living in the world, if someone can live and die together, there will be no regrets......
Su Caixiao stood for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "You say, will we die here?"
"Huh?" Shen Zhuoyu looked at Cai Xiao in amazement, only to see her bleak face and red eyes, and suddenly said urgently: "Cai Xiao, don't be afraid, there is no way to do it." ”
Su Caixiao shook his head slightly, and said in a lost voice: "I'm not afraid of death, I just want to know, after we die, will we be like them?"
Shen Zhuoyu was silent for a while, and replied for a long time: "Yes, it will definitely ......."
Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a light breeze blowing on his face, and Su Caixiao was like an injured kitten, trembling and hiding in his arms.
Shen Zhuoyu's chest was suffocated, and he helped Cai Xiao to sit down on the spot, and opposite the two of them, it was the pair of men and women who accompanied each other in life and death.
Shen Zhuoyu looked at the empty eye sockets of the white bones for a long time, but in his heart he suddenly realized, it turned out that these white bones were the same as the two of them, and after coming here, they found that they were completely lifeless, and finally left this world in despair, however, even if they died, they did not want to die in the dark, so they sat at the entrance of the cave and guarded the last ray of light.
Thinking about this, he became heavier, stroked Cai Xiao's long hair, turned his eyes to the outside of the cave, and between the wind and snow, he could vaguely see that the snow-capped mountains were continuous, covered in silver, outlining an extremely tragic picture.
At this moment, he had no heart to think about who these dead people were, what they had done in their lives, and why they were in a desperate situation. Looking at the pair of men and women again, he couldn't help but ask the same question as Cai Xiao, if he died here with Cai Xiao, would he be the same as them?
As soon as this thought was born, Shen Zhuoyu slammed himself on the head, and said hatefully: "What a fool! How can we die here?!"
When his eyes opened angrily, he unintentionally found that there seemed to be a yellow thing between the two white bones.
"Cai Xiao, look!"
Shen Zhuoyu called lightly, helped Cai Xiao to stand up, looked down, who knew that Su Caixiao's face was pale, his blood was completely gone, his lips trembled, and a thin layer of frost formed on his eyebrows, obviously he couldn't help the wind and snow here, and he had been frostbitten by the cold!
"Cai Xiao!" Shen Zhuoyu was so frightened that her face was pale, and she hurriedly became angry for her, feeling ashamed in her heart, and secretly scolded herself for being too confused, she hadn't spoken out for a long time, how could I be so ridiculous, and only now did I find out? If she has three longs and two shorts today, even if I die thousands of times, it will be difficult to atone for her sins!
In fact, this matter is no wonder to him, you must know that he has achieved great achievements, he has long been cold and heat, in the face of such a wind and snow, he does not have any discomfort, Cai Xiao is in his arms, he only thinks that Cai Xiao is not in a good mood, how do you know that she is cold into the body?
Fortunately, it was not too late to find out, and coupled with his true qi of fire and yang, Su Caixiao finally woke up.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Su Caixiao walked around the ghost gate, coughed lightly, and relieved himself.
Shen Zhuoyu breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was full of fear, she couldn't help hugging Cai Xiao tightly, and hissed: "You scared me to death, Cai Xiao, you all blame me, you all blame me......"
Su Caixiao smiled, held his cheek, frowned, and said, "Fool egg...... I'm not saying that if you can accompany me, there's nothing to be afraid of dying. When he said this, his eyes were affectionate, but his face was full of determination.
Shen Zhuoyu was distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly said, "No, I will never let you die here!" After that, he picked up Cai Xiao, walked to the side of the two white bones, carefully removed one of them, and picked up the yellow object.
Only then did I see that this thing was actually a roll of parchment, with yellowed corners, which showed a long history.
Shen Zhuoyu opened it and took a closer look, only to see that there were many obscure words written on it, and a pattern was drawn in the center, saying that it was a map, but it was a little different.
I thought I could find some clues, but who knew that there were all things I couldn't understand, Shen Zhuoyu was disappointed and was about to put down the scroll. Cai Xiao caught a glimpse of the parchment, but he sighed softly, and then shouted, "Quick, let me down!"
Shen Zhuoyu put it down according to his words, and as soon as Su Caixiao landed, he urgently grabbed the parchment, stared at him beautifully, and quickly swept the content of the paper, and when he saw it, the corners of his mouth actually laughed.
Shen Zhuoyu said strangely: "Cai Xiao, do you understand?"
Su Caixiao nodded heavily, put down the parchment, and said with a face full of disbelief: "This is actually the design of the Ling Jue Palace......" (to be continued. )
