Chapter 248: Secret Fight
Three days passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ghost who was guarding the ghost king's stone room, his face had changed from calm and indifferent to uneasy and then to anxious, and now his face was full of irritability and impatience. For him, although he had prepared that this astrolabe was not an ordinary treasure after all, and it would take a long time to understand the mysteries in it, he definitely never thought that it would take three days, and the most important thing was that although the work of these three days had been spent, Mr. Ghost still seemed to have made no progress.
According to his original thoughts, when Mr. Oni first came into contact with this astrolabe, it caused a change in the astrolabe, and it should be that he had a little experience with this treasure, as long as he understood it after a few days, it was not difficult to understand the mystery. Who knew that in the past three days, he stayed by Mr. Ghost's side, only watching Mr. Ghost turn this artifact over and look at it upside down, not to mention that he was familiar with it, and Ghost Li even felt that Mr. Ghost should have memorized the ancient characters on the small jade blocks in the center of the jade plate that kept sliding.
However, Mr. Ghost is obviously in some kind of predicament, or rather, on the basis of this treasure, Mr. Ghost has encountered a great problem, and for a few days, he has not made an inch.
The stone chamber where the ghost king lives is naturally much more spacious than the stone chamber of other people in the Huqi Mountain cave, and it is divided into two entrances, the larger one on the outside is the place where the ghost Li and Mr. Ghost visit the astrolabe, and the smaller one inside is naturally the bedroom of the ghost king. Although the ghost king is not there, in the past three days, Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost have not stepped into the inner room, with the way of the two of them, don't say three days and three nights, even if they don't sleep for ten days and ten nights, they can support it.
It's just that the hardest part is still the word "waiting".
In the past three days, the ghost has not left this stone room, and the monkey Xiao Ash has also stayed here, but the monkey is very active, and he has not moved the place for three days, but the little ash has been suffocated. I saw that at this moment, Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost were still staring at the astrolabe treasure with wide eyes, and after three days, they didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Ash.
Xiao Ash is running around in this stone room, and he has long been familiar with every corner after three days, and then it jumped on the big desk of the Ghost King on weekdays, and no one dares to do this up and down the Ghost King Sect on weekdays, but at this moment, the emperor is far away, and no one cares about it.
Little Gray was bored, lying down on the big desk for a while, getting up again, dancing for a while, and getting up on all fours, and in the end, after all, it was too boring to be alone, so he had to sit up again, stretch out his hand and keep scratching his head, and make a low "squeak" sound in his mouth, looking around, trying to have some fun.
Although this stone chamber is spacious, it is not too large to exaggerate, so it is natural that its eyes see the inner chamber. Xiao Ash scratched his head, turned his head and looked back at Ghost Li, only to see Ghost Li's face gloomy, looking quite a little angry on his face, obviously in a very bad mood, and Mr. Ghost was concentrating on studying the astrolabe in his hand that emitted a faint white soft light, occasionally raised his eyes, and also glanced at Ghost Li, and then took his gaze back.
The two of them were obviously focused on the astrolabe, and even if they were a little more vigilant, they would at most just look at each other, and no one cared about the monkeys on this side, even a little bit. Ash shrugged his shoulders, pouted, muttered twice, wagged his tail twice, turned around, looked at the inner room for a while, and then jumped off the desk and walked slowly.
Xiao Ash sat next to the two of him for a while, and soon became bored again, in fact, this can't be blamed on it, who has been around these two people for three days and three nights but just watched them do the same thing, it will be annoying, not to mention a monkey with an active nature?
At this time, Mr. Ghost seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly pointed to the small jade pieces moving in the center of the jade plate and said to the ghost: "I think the key to this treasure is on these jade blocks that are constantly gliding. ”
Ghost Li nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with this opinion in his heart, but his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "But we have been looking at it for three days, but we still haven't seen why these jade blocks can slide automatically, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"
Mr. Ghost pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought that the gliding trajectory of these jade blocks is quite similar to the movement of the Sky Dome Star Dou. ”
The ghost shook his body, and then stared at the astrolabe tightly, and after a while, he clapped his hands and said, "It really makes some sense." ”
Mr. Ghost said: "Actually, the old man is not sure, but it feels like this, but even though these jade blocks slip into the sky and stars, there are still many unsolvable mysteries, and the old man believes that the most important place to understand this treasure should be on the ancient characters of these jade pieces." ”
Ghost Li nodded slowly. The two of them kept talking, answering each other, and soon they were immersed in the astrolabe treasure again, and Xiao Ash sat beside the two of them for a long time, and then turned away.
In the stone room, there were constantly whispers from Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost from time to time, and Xiao Gray looked around for a moment, and when he was bored, he quietly walked into the inner room.
The stone wall that has just been torn off the wall by Xiao Ash has revealed some traces, and there is a faint color difference with the surrounding stone walls, and it seems that this painting has been hanging here for a while. However, in this inner room, except for the four paintings on the stone wall, there are only wooden beds, tables and chairs, and there is nothing interesting left. Little Gray fumbled around, and soon became bored again.
Just when it was really bored to the extreme, suddenly the three eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had found something, and then jumped up and down, and the whole body suddenly jumped onto the big bed of the ghost king, and regardless of soiling the bedding on the bed, it actually rolled and tumbled on it. The furnishings in this stone room are simple but very clean, and the ghost king himself is also a person who loves cleanliness, I wonder if he will be so angry that he will be angry if he sees a scene after he comes back.
But at this moment, Xiao Ash will not care so much, anyway, no one cares about it at the moment, it is fussing and jumping on the bed by itself, and suddenly it seems to have touched something in a corner of this bed, and the whole bed suddenly shook.
Then, on the stone wall next to the bed, a large crack was silently opened, and then slowly and silently retreated to the sides, revealing a large hole that could accommodate Yien to enter and exit.
Xiao Ash had already felt something at the moment when the bed shook, jumped down, lay on the ground and looked at it in disbelief, until it saw a secret door quietly revealed on the stone wall, it slowly stood up, glanced inside the secret door, but saw that it was pitch black, and could not see anything, but it did not run out of any fierce monsters, and the mysterious black hole, at this time, seemed to have a little temptation to the bored monkey, and seemed to beckon to it gently.
Xiao Ash scratched his head, looked back at the back, there was a stone room outside, Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost fell into silence again, it seemed that it was another long period of enlightenment, the three-eyed spirit monkey turned around, suddenly grinned, made a grimace, and then jumped up slightly, but it was into the dark hole of the secret door, and after a while, the figure disappeared into the darkness.
A gust of wind blew out of the mysterious black hole on the stone wall, with a faint bloody aura! As soon as he entered the secret door of the stone wall, Xiao Gray's third eye in the middle of his forehead flashed faintly with golden light, emitting a bit of strange light, and under this faint golden light, the originally dark cave could also be seen faintly clearly.
The passage that only allows more than one person to walk on it is not very smooth, but for a monkey, it can be regarded as more than enough, and Xiao Ash with a bit of adventurous excitement, walked in this passage for a while, and then felt the ground sink under his feet, but the passage turned downward.
The stone walls on both sides of the passage gradually became a little damp as they went deeper, and in some places, there were even droplets of water dripping gently in the dark. In the extremely silent passage, only the figure of Xiao Gray was slowly moving forward, and in the darkness ahead, there was a light breeze with a strange faint bloody breath from time to time.
This downhill passage is not steep, but it is quite long, and Xiao Gray has walked for a long time, so he must have gone deep into the bottom of Huqi Mountain. It was at this time that Xiao Ash suddenly stopped, and somewhere far ahead, a faint red light suddenly lit up.
The monkey stood in the passage for a moment, seemingly hesitant, and after a moment it glanced back at the way it came, and reached out and scratched its head, as if hesitating to go back and talk to its master, but the little red light in front of it seemed to flicker lightly like a temptation.
Finally, after squeaking twice, the monkey moved cautiously forward.
Getting closer and closer to the red light, the original slight bloody aura in the passage slowly became stronger, and the expression on Xiao Hui's face gradually became a little nervous, stretching out his nose and sniffing in the air, his eyes were a little uncertain. But in the end, seeing that the red light was in front of it, it still moved forward.
Finally came to Hongmang, it turned out that this was another hole in this passage, Xiao Gray poked his head out from here and looked at it a few times, jumped out, and after a while, it was already on the avenue that was several times wider than the passage just now.
In addition to the passage where Ash came in, there is also a passage connecting this avenue, which is next to the passage where Ash jumped, but it is as dark and gloomy as it is, and I don't know where it leads.
On the other side of the avenue, it is a reversal of the darkness in the passage just now, and it is very bright, especially the red light flashing, shining at the end of the avenue, it seems that Xiao Gray saw the scene here from a distance in the passage just now.
It was still empty, and even at the end of the bright red glow, it was only a flickering light, and there was no strange sound.
Xiao Ash smelled the air, the bloody gas here was so strong that it seemed to be unable to dissolve, and after a while, Xiao Ash's gaze suddenly froze, falling on the entrance of the passage he had just approached, the original cyan stone wall, when it arrived here, turned into a dark red color, and the water slowly dripping from the damp place above the stone wall was extremely red in the light, like blood. Drop by drop, drop by drop, slow drip!
The golden light in the little gray forehead gradually lit up, and after staring at the blood bead for a long time, it slowly turned around and looked at the flickering red light in the distance for a while, and then the monkey took another step and walked towards that side.
The red light flickered strangely, as if it had spirituality, and it breathed softly, slowly unfolding, drowning the slowly walking monkey figure in it.
At this time, it was already late at night, although the change of day and night could not be clearly felt in the cave of Huqi Mountain, but outside the cave, the sky under the night was full of stars, and the starlight was still sprinkled to the world like countless past days, and it also illuminated a little place on the dark and bare Huqi Mountain.
Under the starlight, a white figure suddenly floated from afar, light and elegant, it didn't seem to have the slightest weight, like a leaf in the wind, blown by the night wind between the mountains and fields, and slowly fell on the top of Huqi Mountain. With the faint starlight grinding the white slender figure turned around, showing eyebrows and watery eyes, ice muscles and snow skin, and a faint enchantment that could not be waved was heart-pounding, lingering between the eyebrows, it was the nine-tailed sky fox Xiaobai.
At this moment, Xiao Bai'e frowned, and her face was rarely a little heavy, she stood on the top of Huqi Mountain, the night breeze was blowing, the surroundings were bare, and there was no tree to block the wind, which blew her robe fluttering, revealing her plump and attractive figure. Xiao Bai slowly looked around, and now there are rocks and gravel everywhere on Huqi Mountain, not to mention trees, there is not even a single weed.
Looking at this desolate landscape, who would have believed that just a few decades ago, this was still a place with beautiful mountains and rivers?
Others don't know, but Xiaobai knows, because the area around Huqi Mountain is the place where the ancestors of the fox demon clan came and lived, and she grew up here since she was a child.
It's just that everything disappeared strangely at some point, and all that was left was the desolation in front of him.
Xiao Bai slowly squatted down, stretched out his white palm, and gently grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, no, it should be said that it was sand, the land on Huqi Mountain was cracked, and all that was left was gravel, the hard sand and gravel spread out in the delicate palm, Xiao Bai looked at the sand in his hand carefully, his eyes flashed, as if he wanted to see something from this small sand.
After a while, she slowly closed her palms, clenched them into fists, and easily opened them downward, and the sand slipped silently between her fingers, but in mid-air, it was blown away by the night wind blowing from afar, reflecting a faint glimmer of light in the starlight, and disappearing into the dark distance under the night.
The sand here is no different from that of other places.
Xiaobai slowly stood up, raised her head and looked up at the starry sky, the starlight sprinkled on her body, like a gentle hand gently caressing her body, comforting her.
Suddenly, her eyes suddenly opened, as if she had thought of something, but then she didn't make any big moves, but rather strangely suddenly raised her feet, like the movements of a little girl in the world when she was angry and coquettish, and stepped heavily on the ground.
"Poof!"
A low, muffled sound, sounded in the night wind, drifted with the wind, and a puff of smoke and dust rose and fell gently in the wind. After a while, suddenly from the ground under Xiaobai's feet, there was a strange sound of "crackling", which was endless, and it was actually a long time for half a cup of tea, and then it gradually calmed down.
The corners of Xiaobai's mouth were constricted, and her white body rose like duckweed, as if it was held up by the wind, which was extremely graceful, but her eyes were full of water, but she was just staring at the ground under her feet, and after a while, she was in mid-air, and suddenly her sleeves were unfurled, but she brushed towards the ground.
This whisk is not small, even the night sky suddenly sounded a few screams that broke the air, when the sleeve robe brushed the ground, suddenly saw the sand flying stones, smoke and dust danced. And Xiao Bai did not pause in mid-air, his sleeve robe waved downward in a row, and after seven consecutive blows, the smoke and dust on the ground had become a small gray tornado, which was full of gravel and gravel, spun rapidly, and swept up under the night starlight.
Xiao Bai roared softly, and her figure suddenly rose more than a foot, and under the starlight, her white shadow fluttered straight like a fairy, dazzling and seductive. As her figure rose, the tornado composed of a bundle of sand and gravel was suddenly pulled up by an invisible force, but it was blowing towards the opposite side of Xiaobai, how fast the wind was, and in a few moments, the wind pillar mixed with countless sand and gravel had completely fallen into the distance, and there was a roaring sound in the darkness, thinking that it was the sound of those stones hitting the ground.
And at the feet of Xiao Bai, the original top of the Fox Mountain, there is a big hole six feet wide, deep but more than a zhang, Xiao Bai dug such a big hole in the hard mountain peak between his gestures, this Taoism is already shocking, but if you look at the nine-tailed sky fox of her thousand-year-old Taoism, it is not unexpected. It's just that Xiao Bai obviously didn't run to the top of this mountain to dig a hole late at night, and slowly fell from mid-air, her eyes never left this cave, and the white figure floated directly into this deep pit.
Once she entered the deep pit, Xiaobai's body suddenly became extremely slow, as if something invisible was supporting her body under her feet, and she also stared closely at the wall of this big pit, looking intently through the faint starlight in the sky.
The fair-skinned slender hand pressed on the rough stone wall, forming a sharp contrast, and there was a strange feeling, but Xiao Bai didn't notice these at all, she just followed her palm, slowly descended along her body, and looked carefully at the pit wall.
What caught my eye was a blue-gray stone wall, rough and hard, and cold to the touch. Then, as Xiaobai's body slowly descended, her gaze also slowly fell, and she dropped a foot, still blue-gray rocks, without the slightest change, exactly the same as the mountain rocks that could be seen above and everywhere in this world.
She continued to descend, her white palm against the rock wall, and she fell gently, two feet deep, still the same blue-gray hard rock.
One or two feet......
Four-foot ......
Five-foot ......
Nothing has changed, it is still such a strong rock, and the cold feeling seems to have been passed down for thousands of years, and now it suddenly sees the light of day, emanating from the rough surface of the rock wall.
Xiaobai's face did not have any expression, her body was still falling gently, and after a while, suddenly, her eyes lit up, and her body immediately shook in mid-air and stopped.
On the rock wall six feet deep from the ground, next to her white palm, at last, the first abnormality appeared on the hard rock.
A faint red streak, like tiny streaks of blood, appeared on the stone.
Xiao Bai stared at this tiny red mark for a long time, and suddenly a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then her body slowly fell down, her eyes still continued to stare at the stone wall. Sure enough, as her figure gradually declined, there were more abnormalities in front of her eyes, which should have been a harder and harder blue-gray rock, but at this moment, there were more and more red marks on the stone wall as far down as she went, and the color became darker and darker, and after reaching the bottom of the pit more than a foot deep, Xiaobai slowly turned around to look, in front of her, it was already a rock wall as red as blood, thick cracks could be seen everywhere, and around her, the rock wall was no longer cold breath, but emitted a strong bloody gas.
That shocking blood red, that kind of horror that will devour people! Xiao Bai's eyes showed disgust that could not be concealed, and he snorted coldly, and his figure moved, and the white figure soared into the sky, flew out of this cave, and landed on the ground next to the deep pit. The starlight in the night sprinkled and fell on her white figure again, like water, washing away the nightmare scene of the previous year.
Xiaobai's face was indifferent, he took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky against the night wind blowing in the distance. After a while, she suddenly smiled and whispered in a low voice: "For thousands of years, there have always been some people who don't know the height of the sky and want to do something stupid, what will happen to it, let's take a look together, hehehehe......"
The cold laughter fluttered gently in the night wind, and went away with the wind, I don't know which corner of the world it drifted to, and at night, in the starlight, that white beautiful figure still stood on the top of the mountains, facing the wind, with a bit of amazing beauty in the world, standing lonely and lonely.
In the middle of the night, it seems that there are many people who can't sleep, as if something is lingering in their hearts and they have inexplicable feelings, and people always have some indescribable feelings.
In the cave of Huqi Mountain, Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost are still concentrating on the astrolabe, they have reached a critical time, with Mr. Ghost's profound knowledge, they have barely deduced a few ancient characters on the jade disk, although it is said that they have not understood the mystery of the astrolabe for the time being, but it is obviously much better than before.
In the midst of this tension, Ghost Li suddenly realized something in his heart, his eyes left the astrolabe for a moment, and he looked around, only to see that the side was empty, and Xiao Gray didn't know where to play again, or found a place to sleep! The corner of his eyes flashed, and he fell on the picture that had been rolled into a roll next to him, and he was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But the smile was warm but quickly disappeared, and he shook his head slightly, as if he had put aside something that he shouldn't be thinking about at the moment, and then got into the mysterious astrolabe.
In another place in the belly of Huqi Mountain, in the silent cold stone room, smoke wafted gently. Baguio was still sleeping quietly, and beside her, the Ghost King sat silently.
The gray hair fell from the ghost king's head, reminding him that he was getting old, and the sleeping person next to him made him feel even more heartache. In the middle of the night, he was as sleepy as he had been for countless nights in the past ten years.
He waited quietly, waited for the dawn, waited for tomorrow, and maybe, by tomorrow, everything would really change!
His hands, unconsciously clenched, clenched into fists.
Thousands of miles away, the same lonely and silent night.
On the small bamboo peak of Qingyun Mountain, the night wind was howling, the bamboo waves were gusting, and Lu Xueqi slowly sat up from the couch. That night, she somehow couldn't sleep.
Tossing and turning, for whom?
She got out of bed gently, without shoes, and walked on the ground with her bare white feet, and a chill came from the soles of her feet, and the ground was as cool as water. She walked to the window, stretched out her hand and pushed it open, and the starlight in the sky flowed like water waves, and suddenly sprinkled in, reflecting her beautiful face with a little more brilliance.
Lu Xueqi quietly stared at the stars in the sky, motionless.
In such a late night, are people from afar also under the starlight?
Is there any faint starlight sprinkled on him?
She stared at the starry sky silently and never moved again, as if she was expecting something.
The starlight is faint, but it seems to be eternal, and he has seen through the vicissitudes of the world and seen through the grievances and hatreds.
Perhaps, tomorrow will be fine......
She thought so quietly in her heart.
What will tomorrow be?
No one will ever know. (To be continued.) )
