Chapter 107: The Mystery of the Dragon's Tomb (1) Add a change for the first birthday
The three days passed quickly, but it was also calm and peaceful, and I stayed with Ruxue, listening to the wise conversation of Elder Zhihu, and felt that this was really a place where you could abandon mortal dust as soon as you entered, but this was not a real dragon tomb after all, and I couldn't guess what the real dragon tomb was.
The only thing I regret is that I stayed here for three days, and I never saw a single cultivator who practiced here.
Or, their realm is already high enough to truly settle down and forget about time.
Of course, he abides by the rules here, only dares to take a little bit, and never dares to cut off the 'vitality' of these medicines, which is also a kind of compassion for nature by the medicine pickers, and this is strictly followed here.
I didn't see the ginseng, but Brother Chengxin saw it, and got a not too small root, so that Brother Chengxin was like a treasure, I vaguely knew that if it wasn't for these masked people to lead, we might not be able to touch the ginseng essence at all, and that time Wu Lao Ghost saw it was just a coincidence.
Elder Zhihu told me that this ginseng essence can be regarded as a kind of spiritual thing in this heaven and earth, and it was originally never allowed to be touched, except this time!
When I heard this, I glanced at Brother Chengxin viciously, and if I reached the realm of spirit in my heart, it should be a fat doll in vain, right? Didn't he get a root and tear off the fat doll's limbs?
Brother Chengxin seemed to see through my thoughts, gave me a blank look, and said: "It will shock you to say it, the ginseng essence is not what you imagined, and this root will not do anything about it." β
Since Brother Chengxin said so, I won't ask anything anymore, in fact, I'm really not too interested in those medicinal materials or something.
There is also something to be happy about, that is, Wu Lao Ghost has finally improved, after all, there is a place where the best Yin Gathering Land exists, so there are a lot of 'strange' plants growing, these things may not be used by humans for medicine, and even harmful to humans, but they have great benefits for Wu Lao Ghost, plus there is a superb Yin Gathering Place here, and Wu Lao Ghost's recovery is just around the corner.
And Wu Lao Ghost also decided to stay here, as an old ghost who has completely lost the possibility of 'reincarnation', this is really a good place for it, it said to us very easily: "Let Ruxue Girl stay here, no, I have to accompany me." You two calves, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, so hurry up and go. β
Actually, I was very curious about what reincarnation was all about, and Old Ghost Wu was very dazed, so he said that this was something of soul instinct, and felt that it should be done, but if he missed it, he missed it, and he couldn't say the specifics.
"Is there an underworld?" Actually, I don't know everything, but there are also places that I am curious about.
Old Ghost Wu stiffened his neck and said to me, "How do I know? β
Then, I just wanted to smoke it!
And the words it decided to stay were said when sending us into the Dragon Tomb, the words were very polite, but I still couldn't help but feel sad when I heard it, and sometimes sighed for my life, obviously in my heart I was grasping everyone who was important to me, being good to them, and getting along with them peacefully, but in fact, I kept losing it over the years, if losing is also a kind of cultivation, then, okay!
I was sad, but Brother Chengxin was not polite, and yelled at Old Ghost Wu: "I don't like it, don't you?" It's okay, you decided to stay, I don't have to worship you, Lao Tzu will whip you now, and I will already see that you are not pleasing to the eye. β
Old Ghost Wu suddenly shrunk his neck and shouted, "Actually, I can't bear you, don't whip me." β
Brother Chengxin smiled, it was impossible to really smoke it, how could we care about it, so we deliberately played with it, and turned away.
Just walked a few steps, and Old Ghost Wu's voice suddenly came loudly from behind: "I really can't bear you, but I'm a lonely ghost and a wild ghost still retire here." β
Brother Chengxin and I stopped almost at the same time, and then turned around, and saw Xiaoxi Xiaomao also rushing out, a pair of clear eyes revealed that it was reluctant to us, after all, we still have to say goodbye, we waved at them, everything is in silence.
"It's really strange that you can get out of the Dragon Tomb after entering it." Brother Chengxin didn't have anything to say, but his eyes were a little red.
I held Ruxue's hand tightly, and didn't answer, in fact, I didn't know what to say, the Dragon Tomb was the end of our trip to the old forest, in the middle, I was about to lose, and I got it, but this time has really passed.
I originally thought that the opening of the Dragon Tomb, for these masked people, there must be a sacred ritual or something, and then the Dragon Tomb could be opened, but I didn't want them to just let the three of us go lightly, and told us that the mechanism to open the door was on the side covered by vines, which was easy to find.
"I thought those masked people were very vicious, after all, on the mural they also sacrificed people's hearts to the tender fox, but I didn't expect it to be like this?" I didn't answer Brother Chengxin's words, but found a random topic to talk nonsense.
Ruxue said: "Maybe it's just like what Li Xiong said, since people think that there is nothing wrong with eating animals, then animals eat people and dedicate their hearts, and they will not feel that there is anything wrong." It's just that human beings are the spirits of all things, the grace of God, and all things kill too much, which will be contaminated with great evil causes, and they may also have unwilling questions in their hearts, after all, they have been stuck here for so many years, according to Elder Zhihu, they are returning their sins, but they also sigh, human beings do not cherish this grace at all, and are keen on killing each other. β
We are all silent, because this issue is not something that a few of us can discuss and come up with, and it will take years for the human mind to progress.
And before you know it, the Dragon Tomb has also arrived.
ββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββ
It's still such a bleak place, we came to this stone gate again, the difference is that this time we can go in, after entering, Brother Chengxin and I left, like snow left!
In front of the door, Ruxue was summoning insects, and Brother Chengxin and I found the mechanism, which was really under those vines, a very conspicuous and simple rotating mechanism, and then waited quietly for Ruxue.
Under the call of the snow, the insects soon gathered together, like a large black cloud.
I writhed the mechanism silently, and it was not difficult, I was shocked that after all these years, this mechanism was still flexible!
'Boom', with the twisting of the mechanism, the stone door made a dull sound, and then slowly the hole opened, and the smell of smoke and dust came to the nose, at a glance, there was a black hole inside, and nothing could be seen clearly!
"Do you want to go in?" Brother Chengxin suddenly looked at me with some hesitation, and asked inexplicably.
"Let's go inside." I held Ruxue's hand tightly and replied calmly, since I have come to this point, there is no possibility of turning back, I know what Brother Chengxin is worried about, but although I feel distressed, I don't regret it, which is my only attitude now.
I remember Lao Zhang's words, if you can't keep it, just bless it, so that girls no longer have a burden in their hearts.
So, after I answered, I simply led Ruxue into the dark-looking entrance.
Unlike what I imagined would be a hugely dark hall after entering, I saw that the entrance was a small hall of less than ten square meters, without any decoration, only a row of quaint traditional characters: "Welcoming the world's capable people." β
What does that mean? The three of us were all stunned, because in our stubborn thinking, everyone wants to be able to sleep forever after death, and the place of eternal resting will not be disturbed, right? How can there be a sense of welcome? And is it welcome to the grave? That's, isn't it?
But there is no clue in the whole small hall except for this row of words, and only one entrance is left below the words, which is also dark and gloomy.
The three of us didn't speak, or I led Ruxue and entered the dark and dreary entrance first, followed by Brother Chengxin, and with that cloud of insects, he also poured into the Dragon Tomb!
In the hum of the insect cloud, we had entered the entrance, only to find that it was a downward staircase, just a simple staircase, and there were no words or carvings on the stone walls on both sides.
In the darkness, we can only walk down cautiously and silently, but this stone staircase seems to be very long, in the absolute darkness, we have no concept of time, but instinctively feel that we have walked down for a long, long time, about more than 20 minutes, this stone staircase seems to have no end.
Brother Chengxin suddenly said: "Chengyi, I don't know if it's my delusion, walking this stone staircase, I have had that feeling several times, that is, we just came here and passed through the door." β
"You didn't feel wrong. Me too! I replied as calmly as I could, we have come to this point, what else can we do but accept and be calm?
The stone staircase gave me the feeling that it was vertically downward, although it was as calm as possible, I couldn't help but glance upwards, since it was vertically downward, I could still see the entrance, after all, we opened the dragon tomb, and the sun shone into the small hall, and there should be light at the entrance.
However, I found that where there was an entrance, it was only a dark and dreary patch!
I guess there's another weird 'shift' where we're located, right?
