Chapter 47: Heartbeat

The old cow with a stone stick in his chest and behaving very strangely walked in front of Shen Shi, and was the first to walk out of the stone cave, and Shen Shi followed him out, and when his feet stepped on the soft grass, he could feel a fresh breath around him, which was completely different from the dry and stuffy scene on the dragon wilderness outside the crater.

The meadow on the outside of the cave entrance is actually very spacious, about the size of several acres, and there are almost no trees nearby. A little farther on, at the edge of the green meadows, a clear stream flows slowly, and farther on, a dense forest.

Shen Shi took a few steps forward, and his eyes soon fell on the few golden runes on the green grass, in fact, compared to the area of this grassland, these four or five golden runes are not very big, but first, the terrain here is flat, and the golden runes become conspicuous, and secondly, Shen Shi faintly noticed that the golden runes here seem to be more complete than the two golden runes he saw outside the stone mountain before, and he can feel the fluctuations of spiritual power at a distance, obviously its effectiveness is much stronger than the golden runes covered by the wind and rain and sand outside the crater。

He tried to approach a nearby golden talisman, squatted down and touched it, and sure enough, as expected, the golden talisman here was also tightly attached to the ground, and there was an invisible force that was unbreakable with the ground, and it was impossible to grasp it at all.

Shen Shi stood up, frowned slightly, and glanced at this vibrant meadow, among the green grass, the light on those golden talismans seemed to be much brighter than outside the stone mountain, but other than that, they seemed to have been silent all along, I don't know how many years they had stayed in this place.

What are these golden talismans used for?

Ahead, Lao Niu didn't stop like Shen Shi to check the grass and golden talismans, he still walked slowly with his hands behind his back as he had walked all the way, and he still kept babbling to himself, looking really like an ordinary old man in the mortal world.

Except that he had a black dragon-shaped stone stick stuck in his chest oddly upside down that was enough to kill most people.

Shen Shi glanced at the old cow who had already walked out of a distance, thought for a while, and followed quickly.

It didn't take long for the old cow to walk to the edge of the meadow, and then Shen Shi also caught up, and in front of their eyes, the winding stream was crystal clear, and the pebbles in the stream were smooth/moist, and the water looked not very deep, not even to the knees of ordinary people. Some small fish with no name swam through the cracks in the stones, as if they were watching with some curiosity at the two uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived here.

The old cow glanced at the stream and muttered a sentence in his mouth, but Shen Shi didn't know it very clearly, so he saw the old man step directly into the stream.

There was a "whoa", and the stream rippled and splashed, splashing his trouser legs, but the old cow obviously didn't care, and walked all the way through the stream. In comparison, Shen Shi was much more chic, and simply jumped directly, with the strength of his monk's physical body, this small distance was not so difficult.

I don't know if the old cow noticed the movement behind him, anyway, he didn't seem to have the intention of looking back, after crossing the stream, he continued to walk forward, and not far from the bank in front of him, there are large towering trees, I don't know how many years these trees have grown, but this forest seems to exude an ancient atmosphere from the inside out.

Shen Shi followed behind Lao Niu and continued to walk forward, since the old cow didn't react to him, Shen Shi didn't want to provoke him. It's just that along the way, he was next to the old cow, and he kept listening to the old cow who suddenly became weird over there, he didn't understand most of the words, and occasionally understood a few sentences, but it was also intermittent and ambiguous, such as what "it was ......white again", "why is it ......still like this here", "relief ......", "dead monkey ......", "holy queen Niangniang, ......" and so on, etc., roughly so, making people scratch their heads.

※※※

Shen Shi withdrew his attention from this somewhat inexplicable old cow and glanced around, hoping to see Xiao Hei's figure, but in this vibrant and green place, Xiao Hei's black figure had already run away, and even the black dragon with a huge body like a hill had disappeared in this short period of time.

Shen Shi only felt a headache, and tried to call twice, although Xiao Hei was naughty on weekdays, he often ran out to play by himself, but as long as Shen Shi called a few times or whistled twice, he would naturally sneak back quickly. It's just that at this moment, in this crater, I haven't seen its movement for a long time, as if Xiao Hei has disappeared into this valley.

This made Shen Shi more and more worried, and the old cow in front of him had walked slowly and directly into the tall woods at this moment, Shen Shi took a deep breath and still followed.

Entering the woods, he suddenly had a feeling as if he had suddenly become small, because in Shen Shi's eyes, in this forest, all the grass and tree life around him seemed to be much larger than what had been seen in other places, the tallest trees towered into the sky, not to mention, even ordinary shrubs and thorns looked like small trees.

However, in this giant wood forest, except for the particularly tall plants, it seems that there are no demon beasts, and they all seem very peaceful.

The old cow walked in front of the head, it looked like a scatter, but the direction seemed to be very clear, and it was always moving in the same direction, Shen Shi followed him for a while, feeling that he was walking towards the most central part of this crater.

There, what will there be?

Shen Shi was a little uneasy in his heart, and at the same time, along the way, in this giant wood forest, he actually found similar golden runes one after another, scattered on the ground, irregularly, it seemed to be like ordinary dead branches and leaves, but the more and more intense spiritual power fluctuations on each golden rune showed that these golden runes had power, as if they were subduing the ground, and as if they were guarding something?

After walking like this for a long time, when Shen Shi forgot how many sparsely distributed golden talismans he had seen along the way, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he had already walked out of this giant wood forest, and in front of him, an ancient mottled high-walled temple appeared.

The mottled stone walls hidden in the green trees and jungles are already overgrown with weeds in many places, and the verdant but tenacious blades of grass poke their heads out of every tiny crevice, striving for the sun and rain. Directly in front of them, a towering gate was left with only a frame, and two gates were gone, exuding a desolate and ancient atmosphere.

It was at this time that Shen Shi suddenly saw that at the top of the stone steps in front of the gate, a small black shadow was actually standing outside the threshold, lying there motionless, as if in a daze, looking at the world inside the gate in a daze.

It's Blackie.

Shen Shi was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly quickened his pace, and suddenly crossed the old cow and ran towards Xiao Hei's side. Lao Niu glanced up at Shen Shi's back, and muttered in his mouth: "Young man, I can't hold my breath, where is I so powerful, wait...... Uh, how many years have I been waiting, I'll calculate, calculate......"

Three steps and two steps, Shen Shi rushed to the stairs with about twenty floors at once, and then after looking around to confirm that there was nothing unusual, he rushed forward in a few steps, and at the same time shouted loudly:

"Blackie!"

Xiao Hei, who was squatting outside the threshold, only one step away from the gate but had not yet stepped into this ancient temple for some reason, glanced back.

Shen Shi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and in front of his eyes, Xiao Hei's eyes turned into two colors, one flashing with a three-color aura, and the other was gray and dead.

And Xiao Hei didn't seem to be as usual, when he saw Shen Shi, he showed a very affectionate appearance, and his reaction seemed to be a little hesitant or unusually calm, which made Shen Shi feel a bad feeling in his heart.

He slowly squatted down a few steps away from Xiao Hei, stared at its eyes of different colors, and whispered, "Xiao Hei, it's me." ”

Xiao Hei looked at him quietly, and after a while, the luster in the little pig's eyes slowly receded, recovering its usual bright black, and then it shook its head, shook its body and stood up, slowly walked to Shen Shi's side, stretched out its tongue and licked Shen Shi's palm, and rubbed Shen Shi's feet with its head.

Shen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged Xiao Hei, touched its head vigorously, and said in a low voice: "Don't run around in the future." ”

Xiao Hei snorted twice and nodded.

Shen Shi smiled, put it down, and then stood up, just when he wanted to say something more, his gaze happened to pass through the empty door and saw what was inside the high wall. It was at this moment that his body suddenly stiffened.

Behind the gate, there is a very large courtyard, and in a circle along the corner of the wall, tall trees similar to those in the previous forest grow, and the branches are luxuriant and vibrant. But most of the middle of this courtyard is a blank and flat wasteland.

A huge ball was placed in the center of the courtyard, and nine other chains with ancient meanings firmly tied the ball, extending out in different directions at the same time, nailing deep into the ground.

In addition, what was reflected in Shen Shi's eyes was a golden sea of brilliance.

Golden runes, countless golden runes appeared so suddenly and exaggeratedly in front of his eyes, a golden rune could be seen at almost every short distance on the nine chains, but what was even more terrifying was that in the center of the entire courtyard, on the mysterious ball locked by the nine gold chains, there was a sea of gold.

The golden talisman was like a sticker that didn't want money, densely pasted all over every corner of the entire ball, suppressing it under the golden light.

The flickering golden glow even illuminated the entire courtyard, filled with a solemn and sacred aura in the flickering.

But for some reason, at this time, Shen Shi suddenly heard another voice:

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The low and slow voice, echoing again and again in the golden light of nothingness, seemed to have a kind of demonic nature, which made the whole body creepy and bloody, like ...... What is the sound of a heartbeat?I1292
