The old man stood at the door and stared at Chen Mo seriously.
"Don't think that this protective suit you are wearing can protect you. Young man, let me tell you, these tricks you know have all been thought of by previous generations. If they were useful, the things in the ancient tower would have been taken away long ago.
, and what else do you want?" The old man said coldly, glanced at me, turned back to where he was, and sat cross-legged.
Is that black cloak a protective suit?
Hearing what the old man said, I couldn't help but squat down, looked at the black cloak on Chen Mo, and said, "I've been wondering why you are dressed like this. It turns out that you kid has known about this ancient temple for a long time.
Something weird."
"My uncle said that there is very strong radiation in the ancient temple, so I prepared this protective suit."
Chen Mo's face didn't look very good, his voice sounded weak, and he still felt weak.
"But the old man said this thing is useless."
"Listen to his nonsense, this old man is always good at scaring people." Chen Mo said, making an ugly smile at me.
"If the old man is talking nonsense, then why did you go to the beeswax coffin for treatment?"
As I spoke, I pulled Chen Mo back into the hall.
"Chen Mo, you believe me, I can bring the black jade out to you intact." I looked at Chen Mo's pale face and said worriedly, "If you insist on following me in, if something unexpected happens, I will
I still have to take care of you, but I will take care of one thing at the expense of the other.”
"Zhou Cang, this ancient pagoda is not as simple as you think." Chen Mo said.
"I know, but now that I'm here, even if there are all kinds of difficulties and dangers ahead, I have to go and have a look. For no other reason than for my body that is not exposed to radiation, I have to go in and ask why.
"I suddenly felt very determined. I don't know if it was because of Chen Mo or because of the many questions.
"This little brother is loyal, courageous and courageous. He is indeed a descendant of the old Zhou family. I give you a thumbs up." The old man folded his arms in front of his chest, hunched his shoulders and smiled at me, faintly.
said.
Descendants of the old Zhou family? Is this old man related to my family? The interpersonal relationships in the ancient temple seem to be getting more and more complicated, but I can’t control that much for the time being. I turned around and said to Chen Mo: "
Please tell me how to operate this wooden kite."
Chen Mo still refused to give up and was about to follow me out of the palace. At this time, the old man suddenly shouted, "Young man," and then walked up slowly: "Don't be so persistent. You must know that the things in this ancient tower are...
Only this little brother can touch it. Perhaps, tens of millions of years ago, it belonged to the Zhou family. If you insist on getting in and messing with it, even the corpses all over the wall will be dissatisfied, let alone the ancient ones.
There are unforeseen dangers in the tower."
The old man's words seemed to move Chen Mo, and he stopped, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.
"Chen Mo, you know, over the years, I have been carrying uneasiness in my heart all the time, which has made me live a good life in a mess. All kinds of unforeseen accidents and unusual accidents have made me go...
Looking for an answer. I don’t know what the Zhou family has experienced over the years, but no matter how powerful the black jade is, I will end its stranglehold on the Zhou family in my own generation. Although I am cowardly, I will
As you said, some negative legacies may be destined to be our mission in life from birth, and we have to face them."
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. It is to advise Chen Mo and also to convince myself.
Although I was terribly scared, if I had to enter the ancient pagoda, I could force myself to bravely charge forward.
"Zhou Cang," Chen Mo probably wanted to say something, but after calling me, he suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, he probably swallowed the second half of the sentence. His face was pale and he said seriously:
"be careful."
Chen Mo was finally convinced, but my heart suddenly felt empty. To be honest, I really had no confidence at all when entering the ancient pagoda.
He briefly told me how to operate the wooden kite. The braking principle of the wooden kite is probably similar to the pedal boats we ride on. As long as you step on a spiral-shaped thing inside, the two sides of the wooden kite will
The wings will flap automatically.
I got into the wooden kite, stepped on the spiral shaft with my feet, and drove this small plane to start my own adventure.
I originally thought it was very simple, but at first, it was still difficult to control the wooden kite in a balanced manner. When it just took off, the wooden kite staggered around. I was knocked to pieces inside, and Chen Mo stood underneath and shouted.
, but I was getting closer to the waterfall, and the sound of the water was so loud that I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
Probably for the sake of visual convenience, there is no obstruction in front of the cockpit of Muyuan. Therefore, before I passed the waterfall, I was already soaked by the splashing water from the waterfall.
What's particularly strange is that the soaked clothes didn't make my body feel sticky. Instead, my skin became extremely dry, as if the water couldn't get onto my skin.
Just when I was wondering, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the exposed skin on my arms, and I couldn't help but be shocked——
On my arms, there was a dense layer of snake scale-like skin flakes.
Is this snakeskin protecting me?
Do I really belong to the same species as those incorruptible bodies on the cave wall?
I couldn't help but touch my face with my hands.
There was no accident, and there were dense and rough snake scale-like skin flakes on my face.
Although I haven't looked in the mirror yet, I can already imagine my terrifying face.
I quickly took out my phone and used selfie mode to take a picture of my face.
"Ah -" I screamed, and the phone fell from my hand.
It was a face that I couldn't accept. There were no eyebrows, the pupils in the eyes turned burnt yellow, and the face covered with snake scales seemed to have changed its shape. Probably due to psychological effects, the glance just now
, I seem to feel that I have the face of a snake.
Suddenly, I thought of the portraits with human heads and snake bodies that always appeared on the murals in this ancient temple, and my heart suddenly trembled violently, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Could the creature the old man was talking about be referring to the Zhuyin Ancient Beast?
This sudden change made me feel a strong dizziness. Amidst the waves of shock, I still reflexively raised my legs to take a look.
Fortunately, okay, the feet are still feet and have not turned into snake tails.
I comforted myself in my heart.
If the truth in this ancient temple is that I am not human, that is really cruel and I really can’t accept it...
Oops, I feel like I'm in free fall.
All this happened so suddenly. My whole mind was on my snake skin, so much so that I forgot that I was driving a wooden kite. When I hurriedly stuffed my legs on the screw shaft again, it was already too late.
, the wooden kite is falling down,
My mind went blank. For some reason, the empty cave suddenly appeared in front of me. Could it be that that location was really prepared for me?
I seemed to hear Chen Mo shouting to me like a roar, and then everything went dark before my eyes, and the sound of raging water filled my ears.
