Chapter 9 In the Outside World

Looking at the dead bones in front of him, Chu Yu felt as if he had passed away.Looking around carefully, Chu Yu found himself in a secret room, why did he come here?He only remembered being swept up by a strange wind in front of the stone gate, and then he came to a stone bridge... What happened after he stepped on the bridge is still vivid in his memory. If he is an ordinary person, he will probably regard those illusions as a dream , but Chu Yu felt that things were not that simple. He lowered his head and glanced at his body. He found that the rain-soaked clothes were still dripping. Walk towards Huo Xiaoyao's corpse.There were no accidents this time, and the down-to-earth feeling made Chu Yu feel much more at ease in his heart.The secret room has a radius of two feet, and the stone walls are mottled and uneven. Chu Yu stared at it for a while, but he didn't notice anything. Very weak, as if a gust of wind could blow it out.Looking away from the ever-burning lamp, Chu Yu's gaze landed on Huo Xiaoyao's corpse—the corpse was scattered beside a chair, which had long been decayed and covered with dust and spiders. The stone tablet of Huo Xiaoyao's tomb made Chu Yu feel suspicious. There was only one person's bones in this stone room, which meant that when Huo Xiaoyao died, he was the only one. Since no one buried him, what's the use of this stone tablet?Is it to tell the latecomers to explain their identity?As soon as this idea came up, Chu Yu shook his head and denied it. Although he didn't know the origin of this Huo Xiaoyao, but based on so many things he had experienced just now, Chu Yu knew that this person was definitely not simple. Stepping up to the stele, he squatted down and stared at the stele for a moment, frowning slightly. The characters on the stele were vigorous and round. Chu Yu stared at it for a while, and found that the characters had a faint aura that came out of the stele.With a movement in his heart, Chu Yu raised his right hand, and then put his right index finger on the top of the Huo character. Seeing that the index finger coincided with the sunken handwriting, Chu Yu couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart—at first he thought that the word on the stone tablet was The words were carved by Huo Xiaoyao. Now it seems that Huo Xiaoyao should have carved them on the stone tablet with his index finger. The depth of these five characters is not even the same.Stretching out his hand to touch the handwriting, Chu Yu, who closed his eyes, began to trace these characters along the groove.Horizontal, vertical, left, right, with the slight movement of Chu Yu's index finger, these characters emerged in Chu Yu's mind. When copying the first time, Chu Yu's speed was very slow, and the second time Chu Yu's speed was faster. A lot, until the third time, Chu Yu's face showed a look of intoxication, and by the fourth time, Chu Yu's brows were slightly wrinkled, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, looking very painful , When the last line of the tomb was over, Chu Yu couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he fell to the ground unsteadily.Stretching out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, the pale Chu Yu looked at the words on the stone tablet and murmured with a hint of surprise: "What a strong sword intent!" Chu Yu became silent after speaking, and then said with frowned : "That's not right, the way of the sword is about practicing inner martial arts, mastering the breath, penetrating the sky, and performing skills with the sword, but why is the sword intent contained in these fonts concentrated in one breath?" "If there is no power Source, how to seize the heaven and earth spiritual energy? This is... the sword control technique?" Chu Yu couldn't help raising his right hand and scratching on the ground as Chu Yu moved his fingers, a clear word appeared on Chu Yu's face. In front of him, looking at the words he had written, Chu Yu frowned. He acted like he was absent-minded. Chu Yu, who was a little distressed, closed his eyes and recalled the state of copying just now. He waved the fingers of his right hand unknowingly. Appearing under Chu Yu's finger, as the last swipe ended, a faint force shot out from Chu Yu's fingertip, leaving a clear dent on the ground.Chu Yu didn't look at the words he wrote just now, and he came to the tombstone again with a feeling in his heart. Just as he raised his hand to copy the top horizontal line of the Huo character, there was a trace of blood oozing from the corner of Chu Yu's mouth, as if his index finger was on the head of a needle He didn't stop, and continued to copy with trembling hands. The simple five words made Chu Yu copy for nearly half an hour. When the last stroke was finished, Chu Yu, who was trembling all over, couldn't bear the pain anymore and fell Passed out on the ground.As Chu Yu fell, cracks appeared on the stele engraved with Huo Xiaoyao's tomb, leaving a pile of rubble in an instant.There was no time in the secret room. When Chu Yu opened his eyes this time, several hours had passed since he passed out. Chu Yu who opened his eyes was lying on the ground, still reminiscing about the dream he had just now when he was unconscious—— There was a big house in the dream, the sunlight was projected on the white cashmere carpet through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a woman looked at the child in front of her with a peaceful smile, the child stood on tiptoe, looked at the woman expectantly with open arms, the woman squatted slowly He stepped down, stretched out his arms and picked up the child with a doting look on his face. "Mom, go around in circles." The sun fell on the woman's face, and the wind blew her long hair, which was very fragrant...Reminiscing about the picture in the dream, Chu Yu felt mixed feelings, the child in the dream should be happy Okay, so what should happiness feel like?This woman was very beautiful, especially her smile, which contained a hint of pampering and love, made Chu Yu feel like his heart was about to melt.At this moment, Chu Yu just wanted to sleep again, and wanted to meet this woman again in his dream.The ever-burning lamp in the stone room flickered a few times, and the dim light brought Chu Yu back to reality.Chu Yu, who sat up from the ground, looked at the broken stone tablet, feeling lost, and sat there for a while, then stood up and bowed to the corpse, he never thought that in this stone room, he could have such a great understanding of the way of swordsmanship, But soon Chu Yu realized that he was still too optimistic, there was no exit from this stone room, how could he leave when he was trapped here?Since the ever-burning lamp does not go out, it means that there is air circulation in the stone room. Chu Yu believes that there must be an exit here, otherwise how did Huo Xiaoyao get in?Thinking in this way, Chu Yu walked towards Huo Xiaoyao's corpse, squatting beside the corpse, Chu Yu flipped through Huo Xiaoyao's clothes before he was alive, the clothes were rotten to the touch, and there was nothing else.Just when Chu Yu was thinking about whether there was some secret way in the stone room, he suddenly discovered that there were writings on the wooden chair next to the corpse.Chu Yu removed the bones, and saw a line of small characters: Please bury the bones one foot below this chair.Looking at this line of words, Chu Yu frowned. He seemed to have thought of an important point, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. After thinking about it, Chu Yu scratched his scalp with a headache, that's all. This Huo Xiaoyao didn't know each other, but judging from all the signs that happened before, I can't get away from him coming here. Meeting is a fate, and death is the most important thing, not to mention that I have a great deal of knowledge about swordsmanship because of Huo Xiaoyao Suddenly realized that there is nothing wrong with the request of being buried in the ground. Thinking this way, Chu Yu carefully piled up Huo Xiaoyao's bones. After removing the chair, he took out the dagger he carried with him and dug into the ground. Surrounded by stone walls, there was loose soil underneath, and the depth of one foot was quickly reached. Looking at the bones and the small pit in front of him, Chu Yu felt that the hole he dug was a bit small, so he continued to dig until it reached nearly three feet. When Yu decided to stop, the dagger in his hand hit a hard object, and there was a piercing sound.Chu Yu couldn't bear to think too much, if he wanted to know the taste of pears, he had to taste it himself, but now he was not so eager to go out, he wanted to solve the question mark in his heart.At this moment, he could only continue digging, but after a while, what was displayed in front of Chu Yu made him even more confused...
