Chapter Thirty-Nine
This stone chamber is not so much square as the inner space is more like a shell, and the innermost space from which we fall out of the passage is the lowest space, all the way to the wall painted with foxes, where is the highest space.
The huge blue-eyed fox portrait was low in this secret room, and it was just right for me to hold Ruxue to knock on the pair of charm stones, not too much effort.
The sound of percussion still echoed in the stone chamber, and everyone waited with a heavy heart and an unknown mood about the next path, and no one spoke.
Except for the old ghost Wu, it was very interested in drifting into that passage again and again, and occasionally came back and said that the passage was unusually exquisite, how it was! It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, it's also a place shrouded in fog, and we can't be of much interest.
In less than ten minutes, Ruxue finally knocked down the last pair of heart stones, and as soon as I put her down, the stone chamber began to shake violently, louder than any of the previous two shocks, and everyone was unsteady on their feet.
I hugged Ruxue and rolled to the wall at once, and the mud on the ceiling quickly fell in large chunks, and I quickly protected Ruxue in my arms.
At this moment, I heard Ruxue whisper in my arms: "Chengyi, to be able to love someone like this is already" Unfortunately, the vibration was too loud, and Ruxue and I were shaken to the other side, and I couldn't hear what Ruxue said next.
But how could I be willing not to hear clearly, so I asked loudly, "Ruxue, what did you say?" ”
In this strong vibration, Ruxue smiled, that smile was so beautiful, it made my heart beat as always, and she shouted to me: "I didn't say anything, I just told you, it's a good thing." ”
I don't doubt it, but I just hugged Ruxue a little tighter, and confessed in such a violent shaking, I always felt a feeling of transcending life and death.
After shaking for a minute, everything finally calmed down, and after such a violent shaking of this stone room, it had become a little messy compared to the cleanliness just now, and the smoke and dust had not dispersed, and there were many lumps of dirt on the ground.
Before we could catch our breath, suddenly I felt a flower in front of me, and then I saw a new bug lying on the shoulder of Ruxue, this bug was still the same 'series' bug, the difference was that it was the length of most of its forearms, it had two pairs of wings, and it had three purple stripes on its body, but it was much thicker than the first one.
This bug feels even more terrifying! I don't understand why they are so 'attached' like snow?
I didn't have time to say anything, and suddenly I heard something more amazing happening, it was the long howling of wolf cubs one after another, and when I heard it, there were many wolf cubs howling, I didn't have to think about it to know where this sound came from, it was the wolf cubs who surrounded us next to the snow nest, really okay, really haven't left yet!
I don't know what they're howling at this time, and they're howling hoarsely, and it feels like they're burning their butts, and it's so deep underneath, through the twisting caverns, that it can reach my ears like that.
Hearing the howls of the wolf cubs, the three insects lying on Ruxue's body were about to move, and that movement gave people a frightened and fierce look.
Ruxue sighed inexplicably, and said softly: "Go ahead, I can't stop it anyway, just stop it in moderation." ”
I looked at Ruxue a little inexplicably, who was she talking to? But Ruxue didn't answer my interest, but the three insects lying on her stomach answered me, and after Ruxue said this, she fluttered her wings and flew away from the hole where we came.
"Ruxue, are you talking to them?" Although these insects are close to Ruxue, just like my instinctive dislike for the demon insects in Heiyan Miao Village, I also have an indescribable dislike for these three insects.
I think it's necessary for me to talk to Ruxue, if I can destroy these bugs, don't stay, I firmly believe that I can't be wrong with this feeling.
Ruxue looked at me, her expression was still calm, and she said, "If I told you that it wasn't, would you believe it?" ”
"I believe it, but don't you think you should give me an explanation?" My expression has also become very serious, I love like snow, I can die with her, but I will never let go of going wrong with her, I once said to Hadron that if you become a demon, I will lock you up and guard you.
For Ruxue, even more so, if she wants to be wrong, I will guard her regardless of it, stop her, even if she doesn't do anything, I will never allow her to be wrong, this kind of worm that devours everything, think about it is a disaster.
"Chengyi, I'll explain it to you. But not now, now I can tell you that these worms wake up from their slumber, hungry, the more hungry they are, the more ferocious they become, and if they are not fed, what will happen after this, whether they will attack you or not, I can't guarantee it. Chengyi, you believe me, the bugs just don't hurt me, but in fact I can't control them. Ruxue looked at me and said seriously.
"And," Ruxue paused, and then said, "They are not as powerful as that demon worm, but they can also suppress my new natal Gu, but they are not deliberately aimed at it, you may not understand what I'm talking about, but you will always understand." ”
I don't understand why Ruxue mentioned her natal Gu again, she once died of her natal Gu in Heiyan Miao Village, and later cultivated a new natal Gu, but does it have anything to do with this bug?
The only thing I can think of is just suppression, but all of a sudden in my mind is like electricity, and I think of one thing again, purple, and that purple, could it be that this insect also has something to do with Kunlun?
If so, why didn't Ruxue say it directly? But it is so insinuating me? I looked at Ruxue, Ruxue looked at me as well, and in that moment, it was as if we had exchanged a thousand words.
She was telling me that she was helpless and asked me not to ask.
And there is only one meaning I want to convey, no matter what happens, I am always there for you.
After being silent like this for a few seconds, Ruxue turned around and picked up the charm stones scattered on the ground one by one, carefully took out a handkerchief and wrapped it, and handed it to me.
I looked at the bag of stones and said to Ruxue: "This is useless, it has been sealed with other powers, what is the use of me holding it?" ”
"Maybe it's useful, can you keep it?" As snow insisted.
I was really going crazy with everything I didn't understand, but I didn't refuse Ruxue, and still put the bag of charm stones in my bag.
"Let's go." After doing all this, Ruxue seemed to be relieved, and beckoned us to go down with a smile.
"The worm, it's not coming for you?" Lao Zhang asked a little unresponsive.
"They? Just go eat a few wolves and they'll come to me! Don't worry, Lao Zhang, I said don't go too far, they won't open the killing ring. Ruxue explained in a rare way, Lao Zhang is a mountain man after all, and the people who really love this mountain are the most disgusted thing to kill them all, which is destroying their roots.
How many wolves to eat? Don't these wolves dare to go down this snow nest because of those few bugs? It is said that animals are the most dangerous existences, but they are not afraid of the blue-eyed foxes I thought at first, but these insects?
The more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, I just don't want to do it, in short, go down, there will definitely be an answer, I only know that this time the purpose is the Kunlun Tomb, and the ginseng essence is incidental, and in the deepest part of my heart, I still have a thought, that is, no matter what, I will never let go of Ruxue's hand.
With this thought, we finally entered the downward passage, there is surprisingly no smoke and dust here, it is clean, although it is dark, but we borrow the flashlight, the distance that our eyes can see, into the eyes is really as Wu Lao Ghost said, is a piece of exquisite.
Of course, I can't comment on the specifics of this exquisiteness, I can just roughly see that this bluestone passage is delicate, with reliefs on both sides, and I can't see the content clearly, but I can also feel the gorgeousness.
Like the stone chamber above, the darkness here seemed to be substantial, and more impenetrable, and I wondered if the darkness I was seeing was due to the light, or something else.
But after walking a few steps, Old Ghost Wu jumped up in front of me and said, "Chengyi, there is also a lamp on this wall, and there is undried lamp oil in the lamp!" ”
Could it be that there are charm stones here too? But according to the attributes of the charm stone, if there were, we should have discovered it a long time ago, and there is no one here.
However, I soon saw the lamp that Wu Lao Ghost said, and the weird wall lamp is different, the style of this lamp is very simple, but there is nothing peculiar, I took out a lighter to light the lamp here, but found that this light is not the pale cyan flame, but the normal yellow flame!
Why is that? If so, why hasn't the oil dried up over the years, and why have anyone been here? As soon as I thought about it, I felt a new layer of fog loom over me.
But Brother Chengxin shouted: "The legendary lamp of eternal light? The alchemy of Taoist masters? ”
And Lao Zhang exclaimed: "This mural! ”
