"You've read it wrong, there can't be anyone here." The fox grabbed me and said.
"I can't, I clearly saw it." I shook the fox's hand and said. I really saw the red corners of my clothes just now. It was not in a panic, so I couldn't read it wrong.
"I have always been guarding this tower. How could I not know if someone comes in?" The fox stopped me and said, "Don't act. I have never been to this place. The danger inside is not something you can imagine. If you are not careful, you will fall into the eighteen levels of hell."
I looked at the fox a few times. At this moment, the fox looked serious and serious. His eyes were still charming, and his expression didn't seem to be done.
Thinking about what the use is that even if I find the King of Hell now, he will naturally appear in front of me when he wants to appear, so I calmed down. It is important to reach the top of the tower as soon as possible, get what I should get and then meet with my grandpa and the others.
This kind of place can really drive people crazy. If possible, I really don't want to come to this place at all.
"Let's go!" the fox said after seeing me calm down.
I didn't say anything, but just followed the fox and walked slowly.
The place was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers. I shine the flashlight in my hand in front and followed the fox.
I originally thought that this Linglong Tower looked quite small on the outside, but not big on the outside, but it was a bit beyond imagination.
I thought it would be like a stair after the corner, but I didn't see the stairs. I just saw a darkness extending in front of me, with no end of darkness. The lighting ability of the flashlight is not as good as that of the miner's lights. The range of the light is not very far, but just looking at the range of the lights, it is impossible to see the end of it.
"If we were to reach the top floor, shouldn't we be walking on the stairs now?" I asked the fox as I walked.
"But it takes a long way to get to the stairs," the fox said.
When I looked at the fox, I always felt a little suspicious of this vixen who could become a beautiful woman. The more I watched it, the more I felt that this vixen was very similar to those vixen in the TV series. I pretended to be a beauty and came out to eat the essence of a man, and my heart was for the beauty of immortality.
"Didn't you say you've never come up? Then how did you know that the road is very long?" I looked at the fox with doubt.
"I didn't say that I hadn't come up to the second floor. I was talking about going up to several floors. Also, I have been guarding this tower for so many years, so how could I have no idea about this place? Since I decided to cooperate with me, don't suspect me with strange thoughts." A trace of coldness flashed in the fox's narrow eyes, less charming, and more calmness.
I know that I have no choice now. It’s on other people’s territory. Even if the fox really wants to deal with me, I can’t do anything about it.
Don't want to get involved with this issue anymore, so I asked, "You have been here for a long time and have never left?"
The fox glanced at me coldly, feeling dissatisfied with my suspicion.
"Is this a place where humans survive a long time ago?" I continued to ask. When I thought of the village outside, I always felt that this place should have lived by humans, but what kind of people would live in such an underground and what kind of people would suddenly perish. When I came, I could not see the traces of war, nor could I see whether there had been plagues or other occurrences. Everything seemed to be like the humans living there disappeared out of thin air.
The fox turned his head and looked at me and asked, "Do you care about the village outside?"
"Just curious." I said, I was not interested in the disappearing things.
"That village is a mermaid's village." The fox said after being silent for a long time. "I don't know why it perishes."
"Mermaid?" I turned my head in surprise and looked like a fox. I couldn't help but think of the pond full of mermaids. Could it be that all the mermaids in this village were soaked below? What happened? Why were those mermaids soaked in that pond in such a perverted way, specimens? Sacrifice? Or is there another reason?
"It seems that you don't believe me very much, so don't ask if you don't believe me." The fox said with a curl of his lips.
"No, I just felt a little surprised." The fox naturally didn't know what I saw below. I hesitated and asked again, "Since this is where the mermaids live, how could you, a fox, be here?"
The fox suddenly stopped and stood up and turned around to look at me.
"What's wrong?" I looked like a fox, and I wondered if I was asking the wrong thing.
"You have many questions. Since you want to ask so much, then ask clearly before leaving!" The fox stood in front of me and looked up at me and said.
After the fox said this, I didn't know what to ask. I couldn't tell whether the fox was angry or not. I really wanted me to ask clearly before leaving.
"If you don't ask, just shut up and keep going, if you don't ask, ask quickly. I don't have much patience." The fox said impatiently.
I thought for a while, and the group asked, "When did you live here, and why did you live here again?"
It is rare to find a living creature that can untie my curious heart. Naturally, I will not miss this opportunity. Maybe I can get useful information from the fox's mouth. Now I have no idea. I don't know whether the dragon tomb or the mermaid tomb below, what is the relationship between the mermaid and the dragon, and what is the relationship between the fish, the mermaid or the dragon, and why the fox is so sure that he is waiting for me in this place.
If it is inevitable for me to enter this place, it means that I will have already arranged it. Once it is proved that everything was arranged by someone, then who arranged it like this and why did I arrange it like this? Is it impossible for me to be relieved of such a situation even if I die?
The fox looked at me with a frown, his hand on his chin, and he pinched it again and again, "I can't remember when, I can't calculate the year, but when I came, the mermaids here lived a good life. As for why I came here, it was naturally because of my master, that is, the master who built this tower. Didn't you see that I have been staying here for this tower? I don't even think about it at all. It's so stupid."
"Who is your master? Why did you ask me to come here? Where did your master go, how did you recognize me?" I looked at the fox. Is his master a human? Or is it not a human like a fox.
"How can I answer so many questions you ask at once?" The fox looked at me with a frown.
"Answer one by one." I said.
"You are so annoying." The fox glared at me. It was obviously glaring, but it seemed to be throwing his eyes.
The fox continued, "I don't know who the master is. I only know that the master is very powerful. It was the master who led me on the path of cultivation. So in order to repay the master, I promised to protect this tower. As for where the master went, of course he was reincarnated after he died. I remember when the master left, he told me that if I wanted to wait for someone, I had to wait until the person reached the top floor to get the keys before I could leave. At that time, the master also said that he was going to be reincarnated."
I looked at the fox and frowned. Its owner was dead? That means the fox's owner predicted that I would come. How could he predict such a long time ago? And how it must be mine.
"How can you be sure that the person you are waiting for is me, not the ones below?" I continued to ask.
"The master taught me how to recognize you." The fox said, "You have the same smell as the master, and there are dragon seals on your shoulders. I can tell at a glance."
I stared at the fox in a daze. Who is its owner? How could he know everything? I didn't make any noise at that time, but it actually knew my existence and expected that I would come here. Did I plan to come here thousands of years ago? And why did I lead me here?
"You didn't lie to me?" I asked the fox.
"What am I lying to you? I am a fox, not a liar." The fox said after glaring at me, reaching out and grabs the long hair hanging on his shoulders. The fox tidied up and said, "Is there any problem? If there is nothing, follow me quietly. Do you know how urgent I want to leave? So you'd better be more disciplined, otherwise I'll let you stay here forever. Be a ghost and accompany me!"
"Wait, let's ask you the last question, do you know why your master asked me to come here?"
"How could I know this? I'm just helping people!" said the fox, "Okay, let's go!"
I looked at the fox and it seemed that the fox really knew nothing, so we continued to walk forward.
The more I walked forward, I felt strange. There seemed to be an extremely familiar smell floating in the air. It was clearly in a space that had been closed for a long time, but the smell here was very fresh, as if it was the smell of some kind of flower.
I tried hard but couldn't remember what it tasted.
The fox and I continued walking, but there was still no end in front of me. I couldn't help but wonder that it was clearly just such a tower, and the space should be limited, but in terms of the path we have been walking around the tower, even if we have circled countless times, we have clearly been walking in a straight line.
"We are not going around in circles, are we?" I asked the fox suspiciously. There are no things around except darkness. When there is no reference, even if we really spin in place, we will not notice it.
"No." said the fox, "This is the master's power, which can turn a limited space into an infinite extension. It seems that there is no progress, but in fact we are always moving forward."
I shone the surroundings with a flashlight, and it was black all around, as if I was standing on an empty field, with no trees, no flowers and plants, and no end.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon." The fox narrowed his eyes and said, looking at the front.
I looked forward and was shocked. It was familiar, so familiar.
