Chapter 135 Exploration ([-])

135 Chapter 135 Exploration ([-])

Our surroundings were illuminated very brightly by the soft white light of the Lingshi Xi lamp. Now we saw the road under our feet, which was also paved with black stone slabs. It was hard to tell how wide and long the road was. Here is A huge space that seems to have no boundaries. Except for the blue flames floating in mid-air on both sides of the road, it can guide us in the direction of progress. If we insist on finding a reference around, the only one is the bronze door. The road is wide. At least it has to be the same width as the door, and then there is only endless darkness in the distance.

Sitting on my brother's shoulder, holding his ears, I turned my head and looked back, and could still vaguely see the outline of the bronze door.

I frowned as I looked at the door. I felt like my mind went blank. My heart beat suddenly faster. I felt like I was holding my breath. Looking at it, I felt out of breath and didn't know how to use it. It was useless, so I waved my hand and left a teleportation point over there, and then turned back without looking any further.

The little brother took me and walked straight forward according to the route the Yin soldiers had just taken.

He walked very smoothly. The road was very long and seemed to have no end. There was always darkness in front of him. When we reached the position of the last pair of blue flames, the little brother stopped. In the darkness in front of him, the spirit stone shone brightly. Even the lights can't shine through, this darkness is very abnormal.

The little brother stood there in shock for a long time without speaking or moving. I whispered in his ear: "The blue flame disappeared here, which means that the soldiers should have entered another space from this position. How much do you remember now, should we just follow it directly? How about I try first? "

Seeing that the little brother nodded, I waved my hand towards the Lingxi lamp and turned it clockwise a few times. I extracted a little spiritual energy from the Lingxi lamp and turned it into a spiritual thread. I pointed one end of the thread with my finger and pointed it towards the endless darkness ahead. Throw it, the darkness is like the monster's open mouth, and the spiritual thread is like a long noodle. The moment it flies in front of it, it is swallowed by it.

Suddenly we saw the center of the passage leading to the underground, and when we walked there, we should be sucked in like that. I said to the little brother: "This kind of passage is a space teleportation, but I don't know." Is it a straight path to the ground, or is there a fork in the middle?”

The little brother sighed deeply, looked towards the center of the passage, thought for a moment, and saw him reaching out to open the zipper of his jacket, and then stretched out his hand towards me, meaning to let me take his hand.

I let go of his ears, slid down the folds of his clothes, and landed directly on the palm of his hand. He opened the inner pocket of his coat, looked at me with a faint look and said, "Go in."

I looked at him and then at my pocket. I didn't react. I tilted my head and said "ah". At this moment, the brother grabbed me with his other hand, then turned his hand and opened it. He stuffed me into his pocket, and immediately I was put into his arms. He followed the zipper and pulled it up slightly, but left enough room for me to breathe.

Maybe it was because I was afraid that there would be a fork in the transmission port, and I was afraid that I would be lost, so just in case, it would be safer to carry it in my arms.And this is my favorite place in my heart. I raised my head from my pocket and looked at him. He lowered his head and looked at me, stretched out his fingers and gently pushed my little head, asking me to dig in. The little brother said to me: "Hold on." Then he walked forward, getting closer and closer to the teleportation port. After a while, I felt that we were being sucked in by it.

I waited in my brother's arms for a while, but he didn't say anything. I didn't know what was going on outside, so I grabbed his clothes, but he didn't respond, so I had to get out by myself.

I ventured out first to take a look. The little brother was standing there blankly thinking about something. I lifted my collar and looked out. There was another stone road in front of me. There were symmetrical lamp slaves on both sides of this road for reference. , the road is a little narrower than the one just now, but it is still quite wide. According to the metaphor that Brother Wu Xie said, it can also fit two large trucks side by side.

There was a blue fire ball burning in the lamp slave's basin. The fire was burning brightly, and the surroundings were quite bright.Looking forward, there are some vaguely tall pillars, which are so dark that they are still hard to see clearly.

After the little brother finished reminiscing, he took me to continue walking forward. Soon I saw the pillars on both sides. I felt that they looked the same as the totem pillars that I guessed were the longevity sky. Looking at it again this time, I still felt that this totem was The main body is made of scales, and it looks like the body of a black giant snake has been frozen and turned into a stick standing there.

This stone path is not too long. Not long after walking forward, a black stone door came into view. There were two ghost soldiers with long and white faces standing there in front of the door. The little brother stopped and I asked him: "What is this?" They are just decorations, but they can still move. Let’s see if they work.”

He looked down at me, and I raised my head and asked him, "Can a stone be used? Stretch out your hand." The little brother opened his hand, and I clicked a few times to give him a few stones, and then I threw them into his arms. I shrunk, followed the little brother, picked up the stone, and threw it easily. The two ghost soldiers didn't move at all, so it seemed that there was no danger. The little brother patted me, which probably meant that there was no need to be afraid.

We followed us to the door. There was no carved decoration on the stone door, it was just a plain stone slab. It felt like, if it had not been for the specific time to open the door, it would have been a wall. Now it is a door, and it is still open. It's like someone is waiting for us inside, it's a little weird, but I think it's okay, so that means it's okay.

When we walked into the stone gate, it was still a stone path, but it was only two people wide. There were simple lamps and blue fire balls on the wall. After turning a few corners, we saw the exit of this stone path, but a very troublesome situation occurred. There were several forks in the new stone path. I was confused as soon as I saw them, and asked him softly: "How do I go now, little brother?"

The little brother shook his head and said: "Look at them one by one, but it should be safer here."

I looked around and said, "Really... Then I can come out." The little brother answered me with a "yes". Since he said that, I got out with a "swish", and this time I changed. Xiaoxun, who returned to normal proportions, stood in front of him with a smile. He took my hand and told me: "Follow me, don't touch anything." I nodded and winked to show that I understood.Next, the little brother took me to look at the entrance closest to the entrance of the passage.

The first few entrances are all stone chambers in the form of storage. Here we also saw the monkey-head burning jars we saw before. After a quick look, we left the stone chamber.

In another room, I saw a kind of clay pot with a pattern unique to the Western Regions that appeared in the secret materials. The pictures and texts on it were not all the same. Some were black patterns, and some were similar to text. .

The little brother said: "Remember this?"

I looked at it and replied: "Remember, it's the one with a danger sign, saying that the things inside are dangerous. Zi Yan also drew a small red bug on the side... and... and a skull."

"Remember what it looks like. If you encounter a jar like this again, never touch, open, or break it."

"Well, I understand. Are there any important clues in the paintings and words on it? Does it look like a bird?" I pointed to a jar on the ground for him to see.

The little brother said calmly: "Three blue birds."

"Three blue birds, I know this. It is also called three birds or blue birds. Most people think that it is a small bird with bright color and light body. It is a divine and auspicious thing. It is often found on the side of the Queen Mother of the West. Some people also say that it is Duoli. A flying bird of prey, it is also the predecessor of the phoenix.

Legend has it that the Three Blue Birds are the messengers of the Queen Mother of the West. There are three of them. They say, "We can't meet each other in the world, but we can only hope to meet again in Penglai Fairy Mountain. But there is no way in Penglai, so we can only rely on the blue birds to send messages."

The two-bodied snake with a human face and the three blue birds are all related to the Queen Mother of the West.According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West is the goddess of creation who controls elixirs, punishes evil, warns against severe disasters, controls Yin energy, and gives birth to all things.

Of course, myths and legends are always more beautiful. What I see in front of me are some dark and weird symbionts. The immortals and rebirths here are all monster-like things. I can't see the beauty in it.Everything here is terrible. "

I talked for a long time, and the little brother tilted his head and listened quietly to me. Every time I finished speaking, I felt a little embarrassed. I was afraid that the surroundings would suddenly become quiet, and I would suddenly break out in sweat. I was so nervous. , the voice became softer again and said: "Should we look at something else?"

The little brother pulled me up and turned me around to look at the other jars. They basically had these patterns and words. After seeing that, we left here.

In the next few rooms, some were filled with empty clay pots, nothing too special. Until I came to the one at the end, I was a little afraid to enter. I could see it from the door. There was a man standing inside. The jade figurines in the house were already known when they were in Lu Palace and should not be touched.

I looked at the little brother, pulled him and said to him: "You don't need to look at what's here, right?" He was stunned for a while and directly took my hand and led me to the exit of this stone path, which is also the largest here. of a stone room.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see that there is a circular high platform at the far end of the stone chamber, with a giant blue light column in the center. Under its light, there are humanoid sculptures on each of the four corners of the square platform below the high platform, and further down. There are eight more lamp slaves in a row surrounding the high platform.

There is a huge black stone platform in front of the high platform.Next to the stone platform, there are some crumpled flakes, hung by bronze chains on a black shelf, arranged in a row, like coat hangers, but they look scary.

There is a road in the middle of the stone room, and there are black totem pillars and lamp slaves on both sides, as well as jade figurines standing like guards on both sides. Hundreds of dangerous pottery pots are placed in the corner of the stone room, and there are several stone platforms with many little things.

This is a stone room that seems to be without danger, but is actually full of danger.
