Chapter 200 Lake Bottom King City
I took two steps back in surprise, thinking I might be dazzled.But before I could slow down, the upward arc of the stone statue's mouth was getting bigger and bigger. With a "stab", the whole stone slab cracked a big crack, and then countless thin black bugs flew out.
Seeing that he is not an opponent, so 36 tactics, the only way is to go.Just when I turned around and wanted to run to the entrance just now.Unexpectedly, the source just now has disappeared.Instead, there was nothing but a wall, and the eyes all over the wall stared at me ferociously. Seeing me panicking and running away, it was like watching a good show, and even the corners of their eyes seemed to fly up.
"It's not right, it's not right! Could it be that I'm bewitched?" Although the current situation is very urgent, I have seen even more bizarre things in the past, which on the contrary allowed me to maintain the ability to think calmly at this time.
"It's fake, everything is fake." I don't know where I got the courage to hit the eye wall in front of me head-on.That's right, I did rush to nothing, but then I felt a soreness in the back of my neck, and I fell down and lost consciousness.
When I woke up faintly, I found myself leaning against a large stone tablet. Because I still had lingering fear, I jumped up suddenly, but who knew that my shoulder was pressed down by a force immediately.
"Who?" I asked the person.
The man didn't answer, just turned on the flashlight, and a gray beard hung down from the top of his head.I collected myself and finally saw his strange and thin face clearly.I wondered in my heart, "Why is he here?"
"What? You don't know me?" He stared at me with a half-smile, his expression still inscrutable.
"..." I was thinking about the information about this person quickly in my mind, because Xiao Rong didn't introduce his name, so I really couldn't name him for a while.
I didn't open my mouth, and he didn't take the initiative to introduce, so I had to bite the bullet and ask, "May I ask your name?"
"My surname is Qi." He replied briefly.
"Old Mr. Qi, may I ask if you saved me?" I still remember the danger just now, so I hurried to ask about it.
"That's right, I think you're acting crazy, maybe you've fallen into Cangjie's way?" Mr. Qi said meaningfully, brushing his beard.
"Cangjie's way? What is the explanation for this?" I asked.
"Did you stare at the pair of pupils in the middle of the hall for a long time, so that your mind was taken away. What you see and hear are all virtual images." Qi Lao answered slowly.
I listened silently, unable to answer a word.As soon as he raised his hand, the wound on his arm was indeed still stained with blood, and it was not yet bandaged.Could it be that the half of Xiao Qi's body, those bastards, is really just an illusion?
Seeing that I was silent, Mr. Qi probably thought that I didn't believe his words, so he couldn't help but snorted, and then continued: "It is said that these pupils can see the present and the future with one glance, predict life and death, and the rise and fall of a dynasty. A person with a strong charm and a weak fate cannot afford it at all."
"You should have seen the bullet casings on the ground and the bullet holes on the wall, right? It seems that before us, the people in the team had already been attacked, but no one knew who saw through the mystery. That's why there were no casualties in the hall."
After Qi Lao finished speaking, he paused, as if he was waiting for me to digest his words first.
"Oh? Then you mean, Xiao Rong and the others have saved themselves?"
"At present, it should be. As for where they are now and what happened to them, I have no way of knowing." Elder Qi answered very firmly.
"Then... in your opinion, should we strive to catch up with them?"
"Chasing must be done, but there is a lot of space here, and there are many side roads and secret passages. If you go wrong, it will be even more difficult to catch." Qi Lao stroked the folds of his gown and said seriously.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't intend to come down at first. I just lost my footing on the boat and didn't bring any equipment. If I can't find Xiao Rong and the others to give me supplies, I think it will be a burden to follow you." I faced said embarrassingly.Because he didn't know the details of this person, he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only give a general description, and let him guess for himself.
"You don't have to worry about this. If Xiao Xiao can't find me, he will come back and look for me. Don't worry." He took out some gauze from his backpack and motioned for me to bandage the wound first.
I quickly expressed my thanks, and while wrapping the wound on my arm, I sighed: "Fortunately, it was only a virtual image just now, otherwise a person as good as Xiao Qi would be so miserable..." I casually mentioned a sentence I just saw in the virtual image. screen.
Suizhi Elder Qi didn't seem interested, and didn't answer the conversation, he just took out something from his pocket and threw it in his mouth. "Kaba Kaba" chewing non-stop.
Seeing that I had been chattered to death, I didn't bother to bother anymore, so I simply focused my energy on bandaging the wound.After finishing these things, he handed me some dry food. After eating and drinking enough, I felt relieved, and my whole body felt a little warm, and I really felt that I was still alive.
"Old Qi, by the way, how did you get separated from them?" Because I don't know how long we will be together, so I can only take the initiative to talk about some topics, thinking that we can also get closer to each other.
"The old man's hands and feet are slow, how can he catch up with the young man after entering the water?" Qi Lao replied slowly.
Seeing him avoiding the important, I took advantage of the situation and complimented him: "You are being modest. The senior said that you are a master, a master of yin and yang and five elements. I can invite you out this time, and I must be able to achieve my goal with half the effort."
"Hehe...Xiao Xiao is overrated. In fact, I have selfish intentions when I come out this time..." He paused for no reason at this point, and glanced down at me.Then he continued with emotion: "I've waited too long for some things, and I don't want to wait any longer."
For some reason, I felt a fierce light flashed in the old man's eyes.Maybe it's because the light is too dark and I misread it.But he was obviously wary of me, so I could only pretend to be stupid and stay with him to the end.
After we rested, we entered the inner city along the corridor.It turns out that there is a huge city behind Cangjie Hall.Due to equipment reasons, it is impossible to see the exact scale, but just looking at the thickness of the city wall and the echoes, it can be inferred that its area may far exceed our imagination.What is even more surprising is that the dark green light in this city seems to be brighter than that outside the city.Not only can you see things within one or two meters, but you can even distinguish one or two from your own hair.Could it be that the source of light is hidden in this city?
"Little girl, don't be dazed, follow closely!" Qi Lao turned to me and urged me.
I was startled for a moment before I realized that he was calling me, and hurriedly followed a few steps.However, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he climbed up the city wall and looked around. He was still muttering something, what was he thinking?
"Hey, Mr. Qi, excuse me, what are you looking at? Why is the light so weird?" I asked curiously.
"Tsk tsk tsk... the layout here! The wisdom of the ancestors is really amazing, I admire it!" Qi Laoyi stroked his beard, and said: "It's a pity that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. It's a dragon's lair, but it was destroyed Trapped Youdu."
"What's trapped?" I was confused by what he said, the visibility is only a short distance away, why does he seem to be able to see the whole city?
At this time, he suddenly burst out laughing, and said to himself: "This proves that the things are still there, and no matter how many years have passed, they belong to me. Hahaha..." Then there was another burst of wild laughter, which made me laugh so hard It was goosebumps all over my body.
After a while, he came back to his senses a little.He stared straight at me, and said in a bad tone: "What are you in a hurry for? You'll know if you go and have a look."
I was so choked by him that I had nothing to say, the old man's temper was really unpredictable.The days of relying on others are not easy, so I can only secretly hope that I can catch up with the team quickly and break up with him as soon as possible.
After getting off the city wall, Mr. Qi may feel a little deserted when he sees that I keep silent.So he piled up a smiling face and kindly greeted me to follow him closely so as not to get separated.
I still have to rely on him to find the big army, and I always feel that the purpose of this old man's trip is not pure.If I follow him, maybe I can also solve the mystery in my heart, so there is no need to turn against him now.
After entering the city, I found that the layout of this so-called city was very strange.It is estimated that it is under the bottom of the lake, and the conditions are limited, so it has to be reconstructed according to the terrain. The streets in the city are excavated from the stone gaps, so they look particularly tortuous.I heard that there are a lot of gaps in the underground in the western part of my country, and it seems that what I said is true.
Some of the connected places may have been wooden bridges built before. Because of the long time, the wood has rotted and disappeared, leaving some embedded stone piles.It seems that we can only manage to get past here.
At this point, I suddenly felt cold: "There is no trace of man-made on the stone pile, does it mean that Xiao Rong and the others did not pass here?
However, the doubts have not yet been asked, and the green light around him suddenly dimmed...
