My sensitive nerves were instantly touched, and I slapped my hand on the table: "Please stop for a moment and tell me, is there a light source there? Do those stairs automatically emit white light?"
Tiger asked in shock: "How do you know? The stairs do indeed glow. In fact, the light source does not only come from it. Looking out from the space, the surrounding stone walls and the ground are all glowing. It is an irregular and diffuse white light.
It is clean, soft and not dazzling. The most surprising thing is that the top and floor of the space are also transparent. From the top you can see the changes in day and night, the sun, moon and stars, and from the bottom you can overlook a vast ancient city."
I stood up and suddenly felt chilled all over. I had already had an unforgettable experience in the same scene at Fengkuriji Temple in Japan. The only difference was that last time I saw the sea, but this time what the tiger saw was
It's a cave.
"Feng, what's wrong with you? Don't worry about me. Aren't I standing here well now? I've been trapped for so long. About two hours ago, a huge force suddenly ejected me and landed on a large
On the pile of rocks. I tried to find the entrance to that space, but there was nothing."
Tiger told the secret in his heart, and his expression became much more relaxed, but this serious psychological burden suddenly fell on me. Not everyone can escape from the space. Why did Tiger and I even get out?
Can't even explain clearly.
If I continue to move forward with this team of people, in addition to facing the terrifying snake formation, I am more likely to be imprisoned for life. Wouldn't it harm most people?
"I'm not worried about you. I just feel that there are too many unsolvable mysteries in the world, which are dizzying and unbelievable." When I was trapped in the glass box with Guan Baoling, I was no better depressed and anxious than a tiger.
More.
The tiger smiled coquettishly: "I will go back, be careful you are still there."
"Are you sure? After so much time, wouldn't she escape on her own?" I understand very well that Tang Xin's IQ is far higher than that of the tiger. Regardless of whether Tang Xin has ever poisoned the tiger with "Emperor Gu",
Just by looking at Tiger's attitude towards her, she can figure out that Tiger would risk his life for her.
If a man is willing to do that for a woman, it can only be attributed to love, blindness, or obsession, but there is only one ending, either a happy reunion when they come back together, or a fateful couple going to hell together.
He looked at his watch and counted silently for a few seconds before answering with certainty: "We have a life-and-death agreement. Whoever comes back first will set up a bonfire in front of the tunnel and keep it open for twenty-four hours. I am trapped.
After forty-three days, I believe you should be careful as well."
The tiger sitting in front of me at this time has completely changed. He is no longer the overlord who dominated the underworld in Southeast Asia in the past, but he seems to have become a young man with the beginning of love.
I sighed helplessly: "Just in time, with a good guide like you, we can start the next step smoothly. You want to find Tang Xin, and I also need to search for Su Lun's whereabouts. I hope that she will encounter you."
It’s almost like, just trapped, but you can come back unscathed in the end.”
In any case, having tigers join us is always a good thing.
The bottle of wine was empty and Tiger's face turned red, but his mood was obviously improving.
"Feng, that person wearing the golden mask has extremely weird movements, as fast as a puff of smoke. According to Xiaoxin, as long as you enter the round stone room, you can find a mysterious 'source of life'. That is the ancient
The strange tool that Nuwa left behind when she created humans can give humans endless power in an instant. Almost all people on earth covet it and want to take it for themselves. In other words, as long as they get it, they can do it anytime, anywhere.
Can create thousands of armies and horses, invincible and unstoppable -"
I raised my hand to interrupt him and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Tiger, what does Tang Xin want? What do you want? You can't continue the dream of unifying the world that so many heroes have from ancient times to the present, right?"
Tiger has indeed changed. He is no longer the careless and indifferent person he was before.
The tent was already filled with the aroma of wine. The tiger was not drunk at all, but he said drunken words: "Whatever you say carefully is what I will do; whatever you do carefully, I am willing to accompany you from beginning to end."
"Pah, pah", the red kid turned over and jumped up, applauding and laughing: "Okay, well said, the hero turned into a love saint, I admire you, I admire you!"
I thought he was asleep, but unexpectedly he kept pretending to be asleep and took the opportunity to eavesdrop.
"Little guy, who are you? You dare to laugh at me?" Tiger's already flushed face suddenly turned purple.
"Why can't I laugh at you? People who are possessed by the poison like to talk to themselves wishfully. Do you want to know who Tang Xin likes the most? I can find out in ten seconds and tell you -" the red kid smiled playfully,
I grabbed a bottle of foreign wine and looked down at the label.
The tiger roared: "I'll kill you -" he slapped his palm on the table, and the empty wine bottle bounced up with a whoosh. Before he waved his arm sideways to smash the bottle at the little red devil, I reached out and held it in time.
The bottle defused this menacing blow.
"Tiger, calm down." The situation in the camp is already chaotic enough, and I don't want to make it worse.
"Who is this little guy? Feng, why are there always so many messy monsters around you?" Tiger opened another bottle of wine, and while filling the glass, he grabbed a small handful of ice cubes with his left hand, stuffed it into his mouth and clicked it.
Chewing randomly.
To be honest, his nature is rough, strong, and unconstrained. If he always follows Tang Xin and serves him carefully, he is simply deliberately distorting his temperament. Sooner or later, he will become insane. Moreover, Tang Xin, a delicate and delicate character, seems to
It's not something that a tiger can take care of.
"He is the little red devil, the helper I invited." I have always had an attitude of calming things down, hoping to organically combine this large group of sharp-edged figures in the world to achieve the goal together.
The red kid threw away the wine bottle, tapped a few times on the nearest computer with his left hand, and read out casually: "Tang Xin, the future leader of the Tang Clan in Sichuan, just completed the 'Hundred Deaths Art' ten months ago.
', has super power of mind control, and is good at controlling the actions of various poisonous insects. He is surrounded by poison and cannot be approached."
Tiger seemed a little numb, probably already familiar with this information.
I had heard Tang Xin personally talk about practicing the "Hundred Deaths Art", so I wouldn't be too surprised.
"Tang Xin keeps a low profile. According to reliable information, her real purpose is to find a person. In the Tang family's secret family tree, there is a portrait of the founder. This person has the ability to reach the heaven and the earth. Tang Xin wants to find him.
He reshaped the Tang Sect in Sichuan and became the leader of the world - well, come on, it turns out that this founder actually has a pair of square eyes, haha, it's so ridiculous..."
The red kid stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, grinning widely.
"Square eyes? Is the person who drew the genealogy out of his mind?" Tiger raised his glass and became trance-like. For a person who had just survived a disaster and escaped, would alcohol be of certain benefit to him?
Just let him be.
I controlled my excitement, walked slowly to the computer, and expanded the picture on the screen to its maximum size.
It was a line drawing copied from an ancient book. A tall man with a bald head, square eyes, and hands on his hips was standing in front of two doors. The clothes on his body belonged to the late Tang Dynasty. His feet, left and right
There is a huge square box in each, with the lid open, revealing the densely packed small grids inside.
Apart from those weird eyes, he is still a great man.
There are many explanatory texts recorded on the sides of the white paintings, with mixed fonts, some regular script and some official script, and even some strange northwest Khitan characters mixed in.
What the red kid read out was the modern translation of the text on another page, all in English.
"This is information from the Pentagon. Americans are very interested in China's gangsters, so almost every famous figure will leave records with them. But it's a pity, Feng, your information is not complete. I hope you can give me a chance."
Make up for it and submit it to the Americans."
I frowned: "No need, I'm just a nobody in the world, I don't want to be noticed."
The red kid laughed hahaha: "Nobody? No, no, I bet that within three years, you will stand at the top of the world and become the most dazzling star among the Chinese. You can't hide your strength and bide your time." He said.
The jagged teeth flashed harshly under the light, and his complexion was yellow and ugly. He really looked like a "ghost".
In the English information, the Americans emphasized the fact that "there are 361 kinds of poisonous insects hidden in every box" and suspected that all the poisonous insects on the Sichuan-Tibet border were released from this weirdo, and under his feet
There are two "Pandora's boxes".
Venomous insects can kill people, and they can also be properly refined and turned into a magic weapon to fight poison with poison, cure diseases and save lives, just as the venom of cobras is being widely studied and used around the world. Therefore, biochemical scientists in the United States jointly submitted a letter to Congress, requesting to find these two
Only box.
"Finding Pandora's box? Easier said than done?" I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
I don’t know if this square-eyed weirdo is the same race as the square-eyed general in Li Kang’s ancient book. Now everyone seems to be playing a hide-and-seek game together, coming from thousands of miles away to gather in this mysterious valley, just for the sake of it.
Unravel the same mystery.
"Tang Xin will never fall in love with someone else." The red kid suddenly became serious, typing on the keyboard and pointing at the four large cursive characters on the screen.
Those were the four words "Hundred Death Divine Art", and underneath were densely packed small characters in regular script, one of which was highlighted with a red pen.
"To practice magical skills, you must first get rid of the seven emotions and six desires, and proceed with the mentality that one death will lead to a hundred, and death will be the last thing. On the day when the magical skills are completed, all the handsome men and beautiful women you see are flesh and blood, and there is no ugliness at all. Your heart is as gray as death, and you have died.
Only then can people live forever, until they reach the state where the four great elements are empty without fear, fear, sorrow or joy.”
The red kid played on the screen proudly: "Look, if you practice this kind of kung fu, you will eventually go deep into the devil's path and be unable to save yourself. You can no longer be considered a normal earthling. You have forgotten who you are, and you will fall in love with someone else?"
"
He was still a child and didn't understand love at all, let alone the depth of Tiger's affection for Tang Xin.
Not ordinary people can have the opportunity to practice that kind of Kung Fu, but only the future head of the Tang Sect in Sichuan can get this honor. When I think of the various poisonous insects hidden in the fur of the white fox fur that Tang Xin is wearing,
, I immediately felt cold and cold all over my body, and the hairs on my hair stood on end.
"I know that I have paid too much to revitalize Tangmen. She often said, if I don't go to hell, who will? What I can do is to stay with her until the day she can relax and rest. If that
The days belong to hell, and I am willing to accompany her—"
The tiger was drunk and pushed away the second empty wine bottle, leaning on the table and muttering.
The red kid muttered and opened the tent door, and the chilly night breeze rushed in, taking away all the smell of alcohol in an instant.
"Feng, are there any more complicated tasks? It would be really boring to come here and just do some work as a document clerk!" The red kid stood at the door with his arms folded and faced the wind, and suddenly said "sneeze, sneeze" twice.
, sneezed twice in succession.
"More complicated? There are many stone pillars in the cave in front, and they can change at will. Under the stone pillars, there is a mysterious underground city. Are those things complicated? Do they suit your taste?" I have to let the little red devil understand.
The predicament we are facing now is so dangerous, rather than just talking about it on paper while sitting in a computer room.
The red kid glanced sideways at me and shook his head indifferently: "What's that? This world is inherently three-dimensional. We humans can expand horizontally on the surface of the earth, and other races can naturally go up to the sky and burrow into the earth, choosing the one that suits them best.
Environment. The earth does not only belong to humans. Many alien species hiding in the dark may jump out at any time. This should not be difficult to understand with your IQ, right?"
His theoretical knowledge is sufficient, but "knowing that there are aliens on the earth" and "directly facing aliens" are two completely different things.
"Tomorrow, let's push forward with all our strength to see what is buried in these mountains, okay? Especially I heard that there is a small snake with wings, which is a rare species on the earth. It can be given to Xiaoyan.
How about making some wine?" The little red ghost is full of curiosity about the future, but I believe he doesn't have the ability to catch venomous snakes.
I can only smile bitterly, because currently everyone in the camp only cares about the things that interest them, and has no scruples about the dangers ahead. In this situation, a heavy price will inevitably be paid.
"Go to sleep well, there will be another day tomorrow -"
The red kid yelled "Yeah": "I forgot, there will be a South American hacker attack and defense battle tonight, I won't tell you, I'm in a hurry!" He jumped back in front of the computer, fingers flying, and devoted himself wholeheartedly.
On to the Internet.
Not feeling sleepy, I walked out of the tent slowly, and happened to see Gu Qingcheng pacing back and forth in front of the jeep twenty steps away, sighing and sighing in the direction of the tunnel.
"Mr. Feng, I'm waiting for you." She brushed a handful of her long hair, temporarily brushing away the melancholy on her face.
"What's the matter?" Seeing her forcing a smile on her face, I felt the same way in my heart, as if two people who were trapped in a corner at the same time could more easily connect with each other.
"After what happened yesterday, the team members are almost distraught. I feel that if we can't come up with a practical way to pass through the tunnel, I'm afraid everyone's mood will be even more depressed. If your friend can help us pass through the stone formation,
, I hope to act as soon as possible after dawn. Mr. Feng, based on the comprehensive inference from many aspects of information, reaching this point is just the beginning of the long march of thousands of miles. There are still many problems to be solved later, so we need to seize the time. Rescue Su Lun one day earlier.
You can also be happy one day earlier, right?"
Her words were straightforward and she no longer tried to be tactful.
I nodded: "The tiger will lead the way in, directly to the ladder. Please rest assured, Miss Gu."
"That's good, well, it's a good thing to have such a helper." She forced a smile, but the restless beating of her eyebrows revealed her inner worries.
There are at least two more questions that make me scratch my head. I wonder if she has the same worries now. We both said almost at the same time: "And-"
The dimples on her lips became deeper: "Mr. Feng, you speak first."
I blew the dust off the hood of the jeep and sat down slowly: "I'm worried about the legendary flying snake, and I'm also worried that if I follow the tiger's lead, I will eventually encounter the man wearing the golden mask.
.That person can imprison him and Tang Xin, and of course he can also capture anyone else."
Although Gu Qingcheng was not present when Tiger described the conditions in the cave to me, I believe she could get the information of our conversation by using some tricks.
Gu Qingcheng lowered his head and thought for a moment: "You are right, but I already have a solution to the previous problem, which is to go back to the ancient village and borrow the 'Blue Blood Luminous Toad' from He Jishang."
