When the stars first appeared, we stopped in the sky above Lethe.The familiar city, with its own lights flickering at its feet, looks like a mirror sunk on the ground, locking all the light in the sky.I asked the reason for the sudden stop."
Look at the city at your feet."
Zi Miao looked at the ground quietly, her moon-white robe glowing with a faint halo in the air.I lowered my head, and for the first time, I looked down on the city at my feet with such height and detail.I didn't see the clue, "what's special" A dazzling lake blue floated over, and Jiu Ju brushed away his hair that was blown up, reminding me: "Look carefully, it is recommended to wash your eyes with spiritual power, look at this city, what it looks like" I opened my eyes wide and poured spiritual power into my tired eyes.The lights of Lethe gradually faded and dimmed, but an outline, as clear as a striking boundary line, meandered, connected, and closed the city under my feet, and this "boundary" that could not be defined under any substance outlined, wrapped, and took on a strange shape in front of me."
See," Jiu Jue asked again.I raised my head and replied uncertainly: "The "boundary" of the tortoise, which can only be seen with spiritual power, clearly "painted" the Lechuan City under my feet into a huge black tail, with no lack of limbs, crawling motionless on the vast ground."
It's the divine beast Xuanwu."
Zi Miao corrected."
Xuanwu" I was stunned, "Didn't this thing perish in the flood disaster thousands of years ago" I heard that as early as in ancient times, the god of Nuwa had a turtle body and snake tail as a mount, becoming Xuanwu, after the death of the god Nuwa, this divine beast wandered around, and was later taken back by the Emperor of Heaven, only because Xuanwu loved darkness, so he was sent by the Emperor of Heaven to garrison the underworld of the human world.It is said that any place protected by the power of Xuanwu will be impregnable, and the mountains will collapse and the earth will crack, and the flood will not be harmed in the slightest.However, after the great flood that almost wiped out the world thousands of years ago, Xuanwu disappeared, and the most widely circulated theory is that it was too old and drowned in the flood."
Perdition is only a matter of saying."
Zi Miao smiled, "Xuanwu is only the title of this monster, it itself has a name. ”He paused, "It's called, Lethe." ”"Lethe" I looked at the city under my feet again, the line that outlined the big turtle gradually faded, I thought about it, "The bottom of Lethe City is the missing Xuanwu" "It should be said that this big turtle carries the entire Lechuan City." ”"It's the only one that can endure it for so long." ”"It shouldn't have had this opportunity, it's just that it met someone it shouldn't have met back then."
Zi Miao shook her head and sighed, and walked down."
What did you say about the dragon girl," Jiu Jue followed, "You don't seem to have told me what happened to her." ”"It's nothing, I gave up the dragon body, went to the village that Xuanwu saved, and grew old with her sweetheart."
Zi Miao said lightly.The wind was whistling, I didn't understand what they were talking about, I was anxious, grabbed the two guys and said loudly: "What are you talking about, why have I never heard you talk about Xuanwu?"
"My dear, it's a fact that the two of us are much older than you, and we naturally know a lot more than you."
But we're not storytellers, so how can we have so much time to tell everything we know," Jiuju flicked my head, "Who knew that this old turtle would suddenly pop up."
I'm all confused. ”"There must be a reason for everything.You probably know the ins and outs," Zi Miao lowered his eyes and looked at the cinnabar mark in his palm, and looked at Jiuju, "After the battle between the third princess and its broken lake, I'm afraid that things will be a little tricky." ”"It hates the untrustworthy above all."
Jiuju sighed, "It can be seen that that girl is in big trouble." ”"You," I jumped to my feet."
Don't rush."
Zimiao smiled gently, "Those who should know will always know." ”The three of us flew towards the ground, and the sky grew farther and farther away.The closer I got, the harder my heart beats.As it turned out, my heart beat was the first time I had seen such an embarrassment as "non-stop", furniture and utensils were shattered, fire was scorched everywhere, water on the ground was flowing into a small river, people outside the store were buzzing, firefighters were discreetly working in the aftermath of the author's aftermath in the smoke, and the sirens on the fire trucks were spinning rapidly.The grandmother in the grocery store on the next street, the eyed man who often sells insurance nearby, etc., a bunch of people outside the store point fingers and discuss.The three of us were invisible, standing on a wall like a bombed rice cake and looking up at the sky, and now it is convenient to see the night sky, because we don't know where the ceiling of the hall has gone.In just half a day after leaving Lethe, a terrible explosion occurred "non-stop".I picked up a small piece of wood that had been burned black, and found that there was a small circle of blue light on the edge of the board, and I said to Zi Miao and Jiu Ji, "Only the samadhi true fire that Ao Chi spits out will leave such a blue light."
This kid must have been angry when he returned to the East China Sea with his original wife, but you didn't say goodbye and set fire to your shop," Jiu Ju speculated with a wicked smile."
Impossible," I immediately dismissed his speculation.Although Ao Chi is hateful, it is not filthy.Zimiao was on the other side, looking carefully: "I'm afraid that the debt collector is coming, and I don't know." ”I searched all over the place, but except for this fire, Ao Chi left no traces.He was gone again, again in such a sudden way.I tried to hide my panic."
It's not like arson, it's a fierce battle."
Zi Miao moved away a pile of planks and bricks, and a crack as thick as an arm was exposed to the ground, and kept moving forward, through the hall.Jiu Jue stood in the middle, pinched his eyes and closed them, opened them for a while, shook his head and said, "Except for the three of us, there is no smell of anyone else here."
Relying only on my spiritual power, I can't know Ao Chi's whereabouts. ”"What are you looking for him to do, he's clean when he's dead," I kicked open a chair that was only half left."
It's growing in reverse."
Zimiao shook her head and smiled, and then said, "If you don't find him and the third princess as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the entire Lechuan City will be in trouble." ”I was shocked."
Give me the scales."
I reluctantly stretched out my hand to Jiuju.Most of my spells were taught by Ao Chi, and he also taught me that if you want to track down a dragon, as long as you get the dragon's scales and cast a spell, you can know where it goes.He also took a piece of his dragon scales very affectionately, and said that it would be a gift for me, and that if he disappeared one day, I could use this to find him.And I only said to him: "If I go to you for your sudden disappearance, then I am not me, and if you choose to leave, do not leave any severing memorial."
I respect all your decisions. ”After I finished speaking, he took back the gift stupidly, scolded me for not knowing how to be a wolf, and finally said, "If you don't want it, you don't want it, I'm still reluctant to give it."
I've been here anyway, and I won't be gone.The one who won't see you may be you. ”That day, I looked at his depressed back and smiled quietly.Don't accept his dragon scales, it's not that you don't care, you just believe.I'm sure it won't suddenly "disappear".Of course, I didn't tell him that in the twenty years he was the only one who left me, I secretly regretted many times that if I had her dragon scales, I wouldn't have been unable to find him for twenty years.It was only then that I realized that what he wanted to hand over to me was not a piece of dragon scales, but a rope that was cut endlessly, and that he loved to be alone and unfettered, but he was willing to tie one rope to his body and give the other end to me, no matter where he was, I would not let me lose him.Time has passed, and now, when any of us lost the dragon scales that had just been handed over by Jiuju, a huge tremor poured out of the basement.The walls began to shake, and broken bricks and wood fell, crackling and crackling.I can imagine how many screaming humans and crumbling buildings there were in the streets and houses outside the store.All of this has something to do with the big turtle under the city.I put the red dragon scales in my palm, recited the mantra that Ao Chi taught me, my fingers drew circles on the scales, and the palm of my hand turned towards the ground, and the dragon scales changed into a sharp light from the ground, a pale red light track, pointing straight ahead.The three of us followed the light trail and found that his end was in the non-stop kitchen, a small place that had been destroyed by a strong external force, the stove cabinet had become a thick shard, and a large cement slab that had fallen crookedly pressed in the middle, and the dragon scale red light passed through.Zi Miao stepped forward and lifted the cement slab with one palm, and after the smoke and dust dissipated, a black hole with a diameter of more than two meters was revealed.Standing on the edge of the cave, I looked into the cave, there was no light source in the cave, it was just dark, and there was no strange smell, only a depression that seemed to stifle breathing, diffusing from the mouth of the cave."
If Ao Chi is still with his original mate, then they must be under the head."
I tapped the hole with my foot.As soon as the words fell, a hand suddenly reached out of the mouth of the cave, grabbed my ankle, and there was a faint sound of "help" in the bottomless darkness.The cold, damp air rushed across my body, I couldn't see anything, and the hand that grabbed me was so hard that it almost broke my bones, a force that only exploded when a life-saving straw was found.I can't estimate how deep this hole is, I just know that I keep falling like it never stops.t1706231537:
