Chapter 366: Weird
In the deep valley, the two figures kept moving forward, and the scenery in front of them changed, it is undeniable that the scenery in the valley is quiet, and the surrounding clouds and mist linger like a fairyland, Lu Ling follows behind, if you can spend the rest of your life here, you will be content.
Zhao Kuo's figure stopped, and Lu Ling stepped forward, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Following the direction of his finger, Lu Ling looked at a strange stone, next to the strange stone, there was a waist-thick ancient tree, and there were two huge branches on the ancient tree, one of which grew almost horizontally.
"It's a familiar place."
Zhao Kuo nodded, "Yes, we've been here before." ”
"I've been here." Lu Ling looked around, there was no mistake, he did walk through, since he walked through why he walked back again, the two of them kept moving forward, and they did not pass through any forks in the road, there seemed to be only one possibility, Zhao Kuo quickly weighed it, and an arc quickly appeared in his mind, which seemed to be straight from a short distance, and only from a distance could he find the arc, only this explanation could explain why the two people walked back, the valley should be an arc structure, and the two people just went around in a circle.
"What now?"
"It's okay, you can definitely go out."
Zhao Kuo's eyes were firm, the long sword left a symbol on the stone, and the two of them moved forward again, and suddenly left a heart eye, carefully checked the place they passed, there was nothing wrong, seeing that the sky was dark, Lu Ling pointed with his hand, or the big stone, the symbol depicted on it was vaguely visible, there was no mistake, and the two walked back to the starting position again.
Seeing that the sky was dark, "Rest here for the night first, and then leave after dawn." ”
"Okay."
Lu Ling agreed, chose a sheltered position and sat down, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo sat there with his back to Lu Ling, and the places he passed along the way kept coming to mind in his mind, no mistake, he was careful enough, if he walked in an arc, he would definitely find out why he came back here every time.
Lu Ling fell asleep, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, it was an extremely weird dream, two snakes were entangled with each other, not life and death, the heads of the snakes were nestled with each other, but the snake bodies were entangled, a gust of wind blew, Lu Ling opened his eyes, the whole person stood up, and Zhao Kuo disappeared again.
What's going on, where did he go, will he leave himself alone, Lu Ling is really a little afraid, although he has Gu magic in his body, after all, it is his daughter's family, no, definitely not, Lu Ling's body sat down again, although the contact was only a few days, it can be concluded from the past that the other party is a true man with affection and righteousness, and he will definitely not leave himself alone.
Zhao Kuo simply changed the direction randomly, the whole person walked around in the valley, the fog was too big, there was no valley in the world that could not be out, after all, there must be an edge, as long as you find it, you can do it immediately, as for Lu Ling, he completely has the power of self-preservation, and it is not too late to find it when he cracks the mystery in the valley.
The method used by Zhao Kuo had an effect, and with the rapid change of position, the scenery in the valley changed, and a stone road appeared, with steep rocks on both sides of the stone road, and irregular stone steps on the ground, which should be completely driven out of the middle by breaking the stones by manpower.
Could it be that this is the way out, since someone enters, there must be a way, Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and approached the stone wall.
The wind whined along the crack in the stone, like a woman's low whimper, the sword in her right hand protected her body, and her left hand held the stone wall, every step was extremely careful, fluttering, the stone wall was too dark, and you could only vaguely see a black shadow shooting straight to Zhao Kuo's location, and the right hand sword attacked out of the situation, even if it did not affect the accuracy in the dark, the black shadow fell to the ground, bent down, and finally saw clearly, with fangs, wings, the whole pitch black like a field mouse, because it has wings, it is also called a bat, and it likes to survive in a dark and humid environment, just a little, Stabbed by a long sword, bats are far larger than normal bats.
This creature is very peculiar, most of them inhabit stone cliff caves, hang upside down on it during the day and sleep on it, go out to forage at night, the degeneration of bat eyes is mainly judged by echoes, so the outer ears protrude forward, are large, and the movement is very flexible. Bats have short necks, broad thorax and shoulders, well-developed breasts, and slender hips and legs. With the exception of the wing membranes, bats are covered with hairs all over their bodies and have different shades of gray, brownish-yellow, brown, or black on their backs, while their ventral sides are lighter in color.
Zhao Kuo made a false alarm, lightened his steps and continued to grope forward, and finally walked through the stone road, and met in front of him is a stone forest, there are occasional bamboo trees growing in the forest, and there is green moss on the boulder.
Walking out of the stone forest, there were still gravel and trees in front of me, and a woman's exclamation sounded, there are people here, women, who will it be! Zhao Kuo's figure flashed continuously, and he finally saw that it was Lu Ling, leaning on the boulder.
"Miss Lu."
"There are snakes."
Lu Ling was born on the altar, accompanied by Gu all day long, with a giant centipede on his body, which is also a highly poisonous thing, he doesn't want to be afraid of snakes, Zhao Kuo leaned forward, Lu Ling hid behind him, but saw the poisonous snake's head raised high, the red core kept spitting out, the long sword was in his hand, and a cold killing intent came from the sword, and the poisonous snake seemed to sense the danger and fled quickly.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently, "It's not too late to wait until you get out of the valley." ”
"Find a way out of the valley?"
"There are some eyebrows, walk directly from here, there is a stone forest there, there is a stone cave in the middle of the stone forest, with stone steps on it, it must have been carved by someone, since someone walks in the valley, it should leave a way for himself to live."
Lu Ling nodded, "Brother Zhao is reasonable. ”
"Let's go."
The two of them set off, found the right direction, stepped through the gravel into the stone forest, and also found the stone cave, with traces of chisel on it, there will be no mistake, there must be something strange in the cave, without any hesitation, Lu Ling also flashed, and the two figures disappeared.
The stone cave slowly turned dark, took out the flint that he carried with him, and blew it up, and what came into view was a stone door, the stone door was open, Zhao Kuo came to the front and knocked hard, there was no mechanism, and it was impossible to figure out the purpose of setting up the stone door, which must not be as simple as decoration.
"Get in."
Entering the stone gate, it was a step, down the stone steps, with a click, the foot stepped on, and the stone steps went down, almost at the same time, the stone door behind it closed quickly, almost in the time that the two of them could not react.
The stone door is closed, the stone cave becomes darker, it can be called a subtle mechanism, the mechanism is set on the stone steps, if you want to go down from here, you must pass through the stone steps, Zhao Kuo stepped on it hard, the stone steps did not move at all, stepped on the surroundings, there was no change.
"Let's go."
The stone door is closed, there is no way back at this time, only to keep moving forward, a vague feeling, falling from above, a qiē seems to be doomed, the stone room is not big, soon touched the stone wall, Zhao Kuo's body stopped, his brows furrowed, is this just a closed stone room, if that is the case, once someone enters and cannot find a way to open the stone door, they will only be trapped inside.
Fingers keep searching on the stone wall, the torch light is limited, the stone wall is flat, there is no convex or concave part, the arm is forceful, the stone wall does not move at all, and finally there is a discovery, the hand touches it, there are several horizontal and vertical scratches, the torch is close, and finally see clearly, there are words on the stone wall, the handwriting is neat, it should be carved by someone with a sharp weapon, as for the purpose is completely unknown, "Keep going to the right, remember not to look back, you will find a stone button hanging with an iron ring, turn the stone button, remember not to look back and do not touch the iron ring." ”
The voice came from behind, Lu Ling looked at the stone wall and read the handwriting on it, Zhao Kuo nodded, most of them were jerky and difficult to understand, fortunately, with Lu Ling by his side, he was born in Bashu since he was a child, and he was extremely familiar with the local special characters.
Slowly walked along the stone wall to the right, at that moment for some reason, Zhao Kuo wanted to know what he would see or what he wouldn't see if he turned back, this curiosity had been pulling him, and reason finally overcame impulse, the hint on the wall should have been that someone deliberately left, there were no bones left in the stone wall, maybe it was left by the person who built the stone room, once someone strayed in, they could leave according to the above method.
Zhao Kuo saw the stone button, it was indeed as the handwriting on the stone wall said, there was an iron ring hanging under the stone button, and the iron ring was rusty, and I don't know how many years it had been stored.
"Brother Zhao, do you really want to do it according to the prompts on the stone wall?"
Zhao Kuo nodded, "I can only try." ”
No one knew what would happen when the stone button was turned, but the left hand held it, rattle, and the stone button made a sound as it turned, accompanied by an intact stone wall that slowly parted and finally stopped, revealing a space that could accommodate a person.
The two entered, and let out a sigh of relief, the words on the stone wall were not wrong, it should have been left by someone on purpose, if this is the case, a qiē becomes simple, as long as you find the handwriting left on the stone wall and open it step by step, you will definitely be able to leave here.
This is still a stone room, not much different from the first stone room, it is still a black stone wall, after a while, I finally found the handwriting in a very hidden place, the handwriting is clear, "Light the second lamp on the left." ”
Four pits were carved out of the stone wall, which were supposed to be used for lighting, and the flint approached, which was strange to say, and when it was exhaled, blue flames burst out of it, and the whole stone chamber was lit up.
"What a wonderful setup."
As the flames rose, the stone wall opened again, and the two of them entered quickly, almost exactly the same as expected, it was another stone room, the faint blue light shone in, and the atmosphere of the entire stone room suddenly became weird, Lu Ling's body retreated, white bones, yes, white bones were scattered everywhere, Zhao Kuo's body bent down, deep medical science, and the cause of death could be judged from the bones.
Scars, nothing wrong, cracks appeared on the bones, completely attacked by external forces, what is even more strange is that the two corpses hugged each other, but unfortunately they were not lovers, one of the corpse bones and arms happened to be against the throat of the other person, and the other person fell underneath, scattering a dagger on the side, it is completely conceivable that the scene at that time, for some reason, these people suddenly started to fight in the first two stone chambers.
Lu Ling was stunned, looking at the handwriting looming on the stone wall, her arm shook with it, what did she see, Zhao Kuo followed her gaze, although she couldn't understand it, it must be an ominous omen, one of them was a big dead word, with a similar weapon symbol on it.
Lu Ling's eyes changed, his hands instantly punched out, and the giant centipede went straight to Zhao Kuo, and almost at the same time jumped out with a short sword in his hand, and the attack direction was the only direction that Zhao Kuo could retreat.
"What are you going to do!"
"Kill you."
Lu Ling almost squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, and couldn't figure out at all, what happened, why the two people who experienced life and death suddenly changed, all of them seemed to be related to the handwriting on the stone wall, Zhao Kuo moved, avoiding the strange Gu worms, even if he would rather die under Lu Ling's sword, the blue flame appeared with the sword light, reflected on the stone wall, and a strange scene appeared, like a person's eyes, looking at the stone room.
