Chapter 413: The Lotus Stone Road, Step by Step is Dangerous!
Tong Yan no longer looked at Wu Erliang, but took a deep breath and walked out of the room directly behind the "half-grown child".
It was already pitch black outside the room, but the children of the Wu family who came to pass the word carried lanterns. The shape of the lantern is a little strange, and it is deliberately tied into the shape of a phoenix, it seems that the Wu family really has a soft spot for the phoenix.
The lantern is not very bright, and the range that can shine is only about three meters in radius. However, even if there is no lantern lighting, with the spirit of Tong Yan, you can still see everything around you clearly.
Tong Yan didn't say a word along the way, because he needed to think about what he might encounter next. Perhaps the purple glow of the phoenix's blood is an auspicious omen when the blood is dripping to recognize relatives, but it is also likely to be a bad omen.
Of course, auspicious omen is the best, and it will definitely be convenient to recognize such a mysterious and huge family as a relative. But I'm afraid it's a bad omen, and when the time comes, in such an old mansion of the Wu family, he is really not sure if he can leave alive. If the Wu family really attacked him, he had to think of a way to retreat, and he had to think of a way to leave.
After thinking about it for a long time, the group of three people had already walked out of the fence behind the old mansion. It seems that the so-called ancestor of the Wu family did not live in this old mansion of the Wu family with his clansmen. As for where he lived, we would only know when we arrived.
Outside the back door of the Wu family's old house, a stone road was also built, but there was a relief of a lotus flower a few meters away from this stone road. In the Buddhist saying, this is called step by step lotus, a leaf of the lotus represents a child, the meaning is nothing more than many sons and many blessings, the meaning of prosperity.
The Wu family has been passed down from ancient times to the present, which has a lot to do with the prosperity of the people. Any family is people-oriented, and if there is no one in the family, the family will die, which is the truth.
After walking along the Lotus Road for about half an hour, a huge stone monument suddenly appeared in front of me. I saw that this stele was carved with white jade, and there were four spirit beasts carved on it according to the direction of the upper and lower sides, which were the legendary four elephants, the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu and the white tiger. In the middle of the four elephant beasts, there is a huge ancient character "Yang" engraved on it.
Tong Yan stared at the word "yang", and his heart was full of puzzlement. Why is the word yang engraved here? It's kind of weird.
But when they bypassed the stele and came to this stele, Tong Yan was suddenly shocked. Because he saw a huge ancient character "Yin" behind this jade stele, and on the top and bottom of this Yin character, there were also four strange beasts engraved. However, this time it was not the Four Elephant Divine Beasts engraved, but the infamous Four Fierce Beasts. The four fierce beasts are Chaos, Qiqi, Hanqi and Gluttony.
Does this also mean that the road ahead will be extremely dangerous?
After Tong Yan stared at it for a while, he only frowned slightly, and continued to move forward with the two Wu family members in front of him as if he had nothing to do.
He didn't say a word, but the "half-grown child" in front of him spoke a little boringly.
"Little brother, why didn't you say half a sentence along the way? It can't be that you're afraid to see our ancestors, right? ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly: "The seniors said that they were laughing, if I am also a member of your Wu family, I will be able to see the ancestor later, this is something to be happy about, how can I be afraid?" ”
"Half-grown child" smiled and said, "If you're not afraid, it's going to be there soon." ”
Tong Yan sighed softly and said no more.
It is true that he is not afraid, but worried and curious. It's human nature to be curious about the unknown, and it's true for all people. And the reason why he didn't want to say anything more was because he knew that even if he asked, these guys probably wouldn't tell the truth, so it was better to stay calm.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them finally came to the end of this "lotus road". There are no houses here, but there are thousands of strange trees planted. The branches of each tree are as thick as an arm, but the leaves on them are scarce. There is only a handful of leaves at the top of the tree, as if a person only has hair on the top of his head.
Walking here, the two people in charge of leading the way stopped.
The "half-grown child" turned to look at Tong Yan, and then said, "Little brother, close your eyes now." Remember, I don't tell you to open it, you must not open it. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in this woods for the rest of your life. ”
"Half-grown child" is serious, not like a joke.
Hearing this, Tong Yan looked forward intently, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be that there is some maze in this woods?" ”
He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Senior, isn't this forest dangerous and unpredictable?" But why should I just close my eyes? Don't you need to close your eyes? ”
Hearing this, the "half-grown child" smiled and said, "Of course we have to close our eyes, and if we open our eyes, we will also be lost here." ”
Tong Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll close my eyes." Youlao and the two of you led me forward. ”
Seeing Tong Yan close his eyes, the "half-grown child" immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, and then walked forward slowly with him.
Although Tong Yan wanted to open his eyes and take a look, he really didn't dare to take risks. This Wu family's habitat is full of weirdness, so it's better to be careful.
After taking a few steps forward, there was a sudden sound of "Tongtong" under his feet. Judging from this sound, Tong Yan was sure that he should have walked to the plank. But he clearly remembered that there were only trees in front of him, and there were no planks at all.
After taking a few more steps forward, he felt his body stagger. Don't...... Could it be that he was walking on a drawbridge paved with wooden planks at the moment?
It should be like this, otherwise he couldn't have felt that way.
If this is the case, it also means that everything he saw in his eyes before was false, and what he felt with his heart now was true.
"Illusion? Could it be that all the numbers you just saw were born of illusions? The reason why I don't let my eyes open is because I am afraid that I will fall into an illusion? ”
Tong Yan speculated in his heart, and continued to walk forward steadily.
Only when the shaky feeling disappeared, the "half-grown child" who led him forward stopped.
"Alright, you can open your eyes!"
Hearing this, Tong Yan hurriedly opened his eyes and looked forward. At this glance, he almost screamed, and then he couldn't help but look back.
After seeing everything clearly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. Behind him, there was a bridge paved with wooden planks, but what he didn't expect was that the planks were not connected by ropes at all, but just floated.
And under this bridge of wooden planks, there is a bottomless abyss.
What does the mysterious ancestor look like, and what is everything here?
