Copper Coins

"No one, he ran fast enough..." Xue Xian glanced at the entire stone room under the reflection of the fire dragon, and finally his eyes fell on the white stone by the pool, "Maybe it's the dead body at the bottom of the water."

This stone room is so square that it is not naturally formed at first glance, it should have been chiseled by people. In addition to the water pool and a few stone pillars as supports, there is a stone platform in the depths. At first glance, it looks like a bed. Sitting bed.

Of course, it's hard and cold, so it won't be very comfortable.

"Someone has done cleaning here." Xuan Min and Xue Xian walked into the stone room one after the other, glanced at the stone platform and said so.

"Which god can bear this kind of place." Xue Xian stretched out his thumb and pointed to the back without looking back.

Although there are no poisonous insects flooding in like a sea tide in this stone room, under the hundred stone steps behind him, there is still a sea of ​​corpses.Who in their right mind would choose such a place to clean up?Can this **** be called Qing?

But it is undeniable that someone has really settled here, because apart from the stone platform that is as long as one person on that side, there are also several bowl-shaped grooves on the surrounding stone walls, which are located in places that can be touched by hand. With a twitch of his thumb and index finger, he immediately took out the paper talisman in disgust and cast a dust removal spell.

"Why?" Xue Xian glanced at those grooves, and then at his fingers.

Xuan Min frowned and said, "Lamp oil."

Xue Xian subconsciously responded, thinking that Xuan Min's disgust was purely because he didn't like to touch greasy things.But after a while, he suddenly realized "Oh—" again.Because he suddenly realized that the source of lamp oil in some places is not simple.

But hate is disgusting, Xuan Min cleaned up the lamp oil stained on his fingers, and still led the fire dragon that was high on the top of the stone to circle around those grooves.With a few soft sounds, the wall fires ignited one after another.

With the lighting, Xuan Min simply took the fire dragon away.When he was hooking the string of copper coins between his fingers, he glanced at the thin layer of sweat on Xue Xian's forehead.

Without the scorching fire dragon, and the annoying poisonous insects, Xue Xian finally calmed down a bit.He crossed his arms, walked around the stone room looking left and right, and said strangely: "Except for the few finger-thick air holes on the top, the whole stone room has no exit..."

He finally stopped by the black water pool, kicked the white stone with bloody fingerprints on it, and continued, "So where did the rest of the previous wave of people go? It's impossible for everyone to sink without falling." Did it go underwater?"

This black water pool is only one zhang square, how many people can be thrown into it?Besides, just looking at the bloody fingerprints on the white stone, there should have been a fierce struggle before.Regardless of whether it is internal strife or other accidents, since there is a struggle, there is always someone who has the upper hand and someone who has the upper hand.

It is understandable that the one who has the upper hand is sunk in the pool of corpses, but what about the one who has the upper hand?

"Also, what about the so-called same-life spider?" Xue Xian said with a frown.

According to the old man Zhai, the legendary magic medicine is in the Baichong Cave. The Baichong Cave really exists, and it is just like the name, but Xue Xian and Xuan Min have come to an end, and even a suspected "same life" I didn't see any spiders either.

When he turned around just now, Xue Xian didn't even miss the seams of the ground and the top of his head. He looked carefully, but still found nothing.

"Maybe it will be mentioned in this." Xuan Min replied.

He was standing by the stone bed and looking at the dark stone wall. It was the same as the stone wall he saw in the Moth Cave at first. This place was also engraved with characters, eloquently engraved on the entire surface. I tried to identify it, but nothing else was gained except dizziness and dizziness.To him, this is just a ghostly talisman, he can't read a word, and he doesn't know why Xuan Min has the patience to stand and read for so long.

Xue Xian's brain ached when he saw those characters, so he didn't care about him anymore, but squatted down beside the black water pool, thinking whether to drain the whole black water pool.

He stared at the black water pool for a while, and found that the depth of the water in the pool was unpredictable. At least from his angle, he could only see a piece of darkness, and couldn't see anything deeper.

Where is this water pumped and sent?He glanced around randomly, and thought to himself: "No matter what, I won't inhale with bare hands anymore. Last time I was at the bottom of the grave island, I was so disgusted. I can really vomit the whole room again."

While thinking, his eyes suddenly fell on the bronze mirror lying on the ground not far from his feet.

Looking at the blood stains on the edge of the bronze mirror, it must have been left by the people who came before, or...he didn't bother to take it away at all.Xue Xian stretched out his hand, intending to pick up the bronze mirror to have a look, but the moment his fingers touched the edge of the bronze mirror, he felt the bronze mirror tremble slightly.

The metal edge knocked against the stone ground, making some knocking sounds, and then the black water pool also made a slight "gurgling" sound without warning, as if someone pierced a small stone into it and broke the pool Face calm.

Xuan Min turned his head when he heard the sound, glanced at the bronze mirror in Xue Xian's hand and the rippling black water pool, and simply walked over and squatted down.

"This bronze mirror is a bit weird, take a look." Xue Xian pushed the bronze mirror towards Xuan Min with his fingers when he squatted down.

Xuan Min frowned and planned to pick up the bronze mirror to take a closer look, but when his fingers touched the bronze mirror, he heard a clearer shaking sound.It's just that the bronze mirror's reaction this time is much stronger than when Xue Xian touched it.And the ripples in the black water pool suddenly became faster, and the whole black water pool seemed to come to life at that moment, and the ripples spread out rapidly in circles.

Xuan Min subconsciously wanted to throw the bronze mirror away, but found that the bronze mirror seemed to be stuck between his fingers, and he couldn't pull his hand away for a while.

Immediately afterwards, a yin-yang talisman suddenly appeared in the messy bloodstains on the ground where the bronze mirror was lying.Seeing Xuan Min's fingers holding the bronze mirror twitch, Xue Xian seemed to froze for a moment, and cast his gaze towards the black water pool with some blankness.

And at the moment when he froze, Xue Xian also heard a "buzz" in his head, as if someone swiped a whip and whipped a whip in his head, which stunned him for a while, and he couldn't recover for a while. Come on.

When Xue Xian came back to his senses and was able to turn his neck, he realized that the black pool was no longer dark.It seemed to have become a mirror, and a scene slowly appeared on the dark water.

Although the scene was blurred like a dream, it was inexplicably palpitating, as if being bewitched and immersed in it...

It seemed to be between the mountains and rivers, the wind whizzed in one another, the mountains rumbled and trembled behind him, and the surging river waves were like thousands of white horses galloping towards the sky, almost to the sky, countless screams of panic and mournful cries The shout was torn to pieces by the strong wind and the big waves.

Under the raging waves that covered the sky and the earth, among the collapsed and rolling rocks, there were two figures sitting kneeling.

Although everything seemed to be covered in mist, Xue Xian still recognized at a glance that it was himself and Xuan Min.

He saw himself with his hands hanging down, motionless like a stone statue, and the deep black robe seemed to be soaked by the waves, wrapped around his body, and for some reason revealed a strong sense of gloom.

The long hair stuck to the neck wetly, making the skin on the neck pale and bloodless.

And further up...his eyes were covered by a palm.

That hand was thin and slender, and it was extremely beautiful, but it was also pale and bloodless, almost glowing with a kind of dead gray.

It was Xuan Min's hand, and Xuan Min was raising his head from the side of his face, his drooping eyes were hidden in the shadows and shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly.

That was actually an extremely ambiguous gesture, as if a kiss had just ended.

However, Xue Xian, who was watching all this through the mist, didn't even notice this, because Xuan Min coughed for a long time after raising his head, one of his palms was still covering the other's eyes, but The other hand dropped to the side amidst more and more dull coughing sounds, and his monk robe, which was always as white as clouds and snow, was full of blood red...

Large swaths of blood spread from his chest and waist, as if flowing endlessly, soaking the entire monk robe.

Xue Xian watched Xuan Min's blindfolded hand gradually lose its strength, and when it was about to slip, his whole body suddenly felt like a chill, and a layer of cold sweat evaporated.His eyelashes trembled, and with a jerk, he broke away from the misty scene.

He opened his eyes in a daze for a long time, and the buzzing in his ears gradually dissipated, and the sound of heavy and rapid breathing faintly passed into his ears.

After a while, he realized that the sound of breathing, as if awakened from a nightmare, came from himself.In the clear vision again, the black water pool was still quietly rippling, there was no scene on it, and it disappeared without a trace.

On the other hand, Xuan Min squatted halfway in front of him intact, his fingers were not ashen, and his robe was not smeared with a large amount of blood.It's just that at this moment, he was turning his face sideways, his eyes half-downcast on the black water pool.

He also seemed to be pulled into a certain scene. I don't know if he saw the same scene as Xue Xian saw, or something else, but there was a rare trace of it in his slightly blank expression. other emotions.

It's hard for others to figure out that emotion, but just looking at it makes people feel a little sad for no reason...

Xue Xian stared at his face quietly for a moment, then suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to press his heart, then let out a long breath, raised his hand to try to pat Xuan Min, and said in a hoarse voice: "The bald donkey ?”

Xuan Min seemed unable to hear his voice at all.

"Baldy donkey, wake up." Xue Xian's voice was still low, with a hint of hoarseness.

Still no answer.

Xue Xian frowned, his hand slipped from Xuan Min's shoulder, landed on the back of Xuan Min's hand, and held his fingers.

When he moved like this, Xuan Min's fingers separated from the bronze mirror on the ground.

Xue Xian only felt that Xuan Min was holding his fingers backwards. He didn't know whether it was to relieve physical pain or some emotions that were difficult to separate. Xuan Min held them so tightly that Xue Xian felt pain in the bones of his fingers.

He didn't pull his hands away either, but just raised his eyes, and saw Xuan Min just turned his face, his eyes were still a little blank, but the brows were tightly frowned.

His gaze didn't seem to find a fixed point. After scanning Xue Xian's face twice, he pursed his lips tightly and closed his eyes. After a long time, he slowly opened them again.

"Are you awake now?" Xue Xian asked in a low voice.

Xuan Min stared at him for a while, his eyes were bottomless and complicated so that people couldn't tell clearly.After a while, he lowered his eyes, let go of Xue Xian's fingers, said "um", and then swept his wide sleeves, and the bronze mirror was swept away to the corner of the wall.

"The black water pool just now..." Xue Xian withdrew his hand and opened his mouth in doubt.

"The bronze mirror and the black water pool formed a formation, but it was covered by the mess of blood, so that I didn't notice it for a while." Xuan Min said quietly, seeming to have recovered.

"What array? Another demon?" Xue Xian frowned.

He shook his head, and said in a very calm tone: "It is time to see death."

Xue Xian choked for breath: "Death date?"

Only then did Xuan Min think of something, frowned and said: "This kind of formation should not be effective against gods like real dragons... What do you see?"

Xue Xian's mind was blank. After hearing Xuan Min's words, he felt that what he saw should be wrong. Since this formation has no practical effect on him, what he saw may be caused by the influence of this formation. Some hallucinations are like having a whole dream.

He pondered and explained for a while, and then he slowly settled down.Seeing that Xuan Min was still frowning and staring at him waiting for an answer, he waved his hands and said, "I didn't see anything, I just saw that the black water pool was suddenly rippling and you didn't respond, so I asked you a question. "

Xuan Min said in a deep voice, "Really?"

Xue Xian snorted: "Even the thunder from the sky can't scatter me, where can I find death?"

Xuan Min stared into his eyes and didn't see any flaws, so he believed his words, said "Yes", and after a moment of silence, he added: "Even so, you have to be more careful in the future."

Xue Xian didn't respond to these, but instead asked him, "What about you? What did you see?"

Xuan Min stood up with his eyes half down, and said to Xue Xian, "It's all right, I'm dying."

As he spoke, he also brushed the dust off his sleeves. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but Xue Xian was affected by the scene he saw, and always felt a little uneasy in his heart.Just now, everything in the illusion was blurred under the layer of water mist, only Xuan Min's blood-covered appearance was like a clear thorn piercing into the flesh, and whenever he thought of it, he would feel like a flesh-and-blood thorn. uncomfortable.

However, he thought about it again, because he had a very long lifespan, if something really happened to Xuan Min, he would always be able to help.So the idea that had previously popped up in the morning light of Lianjiang Mountain was about to stir in his heart again, but this time it was no longer a whim under impulse.It is also because it is not a whim, so we need to be more cautious, at least in the current environment full of blood, there are still unfinished things hanging in the hands, it is always inappropriate to say it.

He thought about finding the "same life spider" and asking Xuan Min when he got out of this dark stone cave full of blood and poisonous insects.

As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, he felt something move slightly at his feet, making a soft rustling sound.
