Mysterious world, I have special understanding

Chapter 107 The Last Secret
After the light of the sword body went out, the whole room fell into darkness.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the silent space.

The footsteps were very light, like the whispers of ghosts and gods, slowly approaching.

Hearing these footsteps, even Ji Que felt a touch of nervousness.

Because now their roles are thieves, thieves who want to steal secrets, and they don't want to expose themselves right away until they have enough information.

The four of them are all very professional, squatting beside the water tank, breathing from light to non-existent, as if it doesn't take much time at all, this breath-holding skill, I am afraid that the thousand-year-old turtle can't compare.

At this time, Ji Que has roughly adapted to the darkness inside.

At the same time, the state of the Thousand Machine Sword in his hand, if the situation changes, he doesn't mind preempting it.

Soon, candles were lit outside.

The candlelight reflected a slender shadow on the white window paper, like a ghost.

Just by looking at the shadow, Elder Xue determined that it was Chen Hanshi.

The footsteps stopped. It is conceivable that Chen Hanshi was standing in front of the only window, not knowing what he was doing.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, because the two sides were only separated by a window, and they didn't know if they were exposed.

At this time, the distant cry for help in the wind reappeared.

The things in these tanks seemed to sense the existence of Chen Hanshi, and they became more active, and the sound of swimming like a big fish was very obvious.

If this cry for help could convey any message, they might have already exposed it.

The window had not been opened, and then there was a crunching sound, as if someone was scraping fish scales with a kitchen knife.

In Ji Que's line of sight, the figure reflected in the window was distorted a lot, giving a strange and morbid feeling.

He couldn't help thinking of the scene in that cave, that slaughterhouse.

However, this strange phenomenon only lasted for about ten breaths before disappearing, and the shadow on the window returned to normal.

Is this the end?
With a squeak, the window was pushed open a line at this moment, everyone's expressions were condensed, and the group fight was ready to go.

It didn't take long for the shadow to disappear from the window, the candle went out, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

gone?

It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared for a while that Ji Que stood up.

This time, Elder Xue chose to use her little green lantern.

Ji Que's ruler sword is too big.

The small green lantern radiated a cool brilliance, illuminating the surrounding situation a little bit.

Ji Que looked at the water tank in front of him and lifted the lid again.

This time, the strange face floated on the water, and the mouth kept making strange murmurs.

As soon as the sound came out, Ji Que gave birth to the illusion that the whole room became a pool, and he became one of the strange fishes.

However, as the True Qi in his body circulated, this strange feeling disappeared all of a sudden.

At this time, Ji Que noticed that there was something on the inner wall of the wooden lid.

It was a roll of bamboo slips embedded inside the wooden lid, he used a small sword to lift it out, and found that there were words engraved on it.

This bamboo slip looks very old, and it is covered with mold-like spots, but I don't know what kind of bamboo it is made of, and it is well preserved in this humid environment.

The font part on the bamboo slip has been blurred, but the meaning above can still be read.

This records part of the life of Chen Hanshi, the genius disciple of Yunxuezong, who is valued by the sect master Guxin, and will inherit his mantle.

Could it be that the human skin covered with fish scales in this tank belongs to Chen Hanshi?

To be honest, this is a bit like the carp skin from before, just more human.

Could it be that after a piece of skin is sloughed off, it still does not die, and survives in this strange way?

At the end of this rough life, there is this sentence - "In the future, you will start life as him, but you must know that you are Lone Xin, the person at the beginning, in the vat at the end, is the only one. The real one.".

At this moment, all four Ji Que had goosebumps.

Ji Que remembered the tablets in the corridor outside, almost every one of which had the name "Guxin" written on it.

Could it be that every jar is filled with Gu Xin, the former Sect Master of Yunxue Sect?

Ji Que couldn't help but use the sword light to take a picture. This time, he could see clearly that there was indeed a piece of skin under this face.

A human-shaped skin, but covered with dull fish scales.

The face opened its mouth and "called for help" again. Ji Que didn't hesitate to put the wooden lid back on it.

Then, in order to confirm his guess, he opened a few water tanks next to him, and found that there were similar bamboo slips on the lids, recording Gu Xin's life in various time periods.

And the kind of skin that looks like a fish but not a fish comes up one after another, Elder Xue's scalp is numb, and he always feels that they are really a bit like the previous generation of patriarch Gu Xin.

She had never seen Gu Xin, but she had seen the portrait of his patriarch.

After Elder Xue told this feeling, Ji Que hurriedly returned to the outermost three water tank and read the bamboo slips on it.

The life recorded in these bamboo slips is related to Chen Hanshi.

Two of the three jars had "human skin". I don't know if it was a psychological reason or what, but Elder Xue and Old Man Luo always felt that they were very similar to Chen Hanshi.

Because they had met Chen Hanshi, Elder Xue had even dealt with him for a long time, and knew that the feeling of being thin was the same.

From here, the water tanks are lined up together, and it looks like a neatly arranged tomb.

No, it can even be said that they are tombs, which just correspond to those tablets outside.

Ji Que looked at the part of Chen Hanshi's life on the bamboo slips in this water jar, and probably guessed one thing.

Where is there any other Chen Hanshi in this world, what is alive outside is just Chen Hanshi's body.

It is Guxin who is really alive.

Chen Hanshi's master, Guxin, the previous ancestor of Yunxuezong.

According to Elder Xue, Patriarch Gu Xin lived almost five hundred years old. It can be said that in the history of Yunxue Sect, except for the first Patriarch Zhao Lianyue, he lived the longest and was the most amazing and brilliant existence.

It is hard to imagine that Gu Xin, the ancestor of Yunxuezong who was admired hundreds of years ago, would live in such a strange way to this day.

If Chen Hanshi was replaced by him, then adding Chen Hanshi's 300 years of life, it would be 800 years.

He lived for 800 years by shedding his skin and replacing Chen Hanshi?

At this moment, the dark water surface of the outermost water tank moved, and a face suddenly appeared.

The fish scales on this face are obviously much less, and it is vaguely seen that it is a thin man.

Seeing this face, Elder Xue couldn't help but say, "Chen Hanshi."

This face belongs to Chen Hanshi!
Especially the scar on the chin, which is almost identical.

This face has a big mouth and spit out two words - "Save me.".

The sound was so smooth that it made the scalp tingle.

Without any hesitation, Ji Que closed the lid
Finally, he put his eyes on the last of the water tank.

There, is where the last sentence of all bamboo slips points to.

That "original self".

This is Chen Hanshi's secret, to be precise, Guxin's secret.

In the dark environment, the sound from the last tank was the most obvious, which made people's heart tremble.

If this is Yunxuezong's biggest secret, Ji Que only thinks that this secret is really dark and terrifying.

He thought about it, glanced at Elder Xue and the others, grabbed the lid of the last water tank, and lifted it up.
