Altar of Infinity

Eight twenty in the evening.

Most of the cage is completed, the wooden sticks, the cover, and the base have been spliced ​​together, and the next step is to install the prison door.

One person went upstairs to ask Wu Kang to come down to guide the installation of the prison door, and the rest of the people got a short rest.

They didn't care about the sawdust all over the floor, and sat down on the ground in exhaustion, panting and shaking their arms and wrists.

Ran Yuanfei asked Xie Ji for the time, and encouraged everyone: "It's [-]:[-], let's hold on, the cage will be ready soon, if we go faster, maybe we can catch up with the main city for supper !"

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu were more particular, and each moved a low stool. He was physically strong and didn't feel too tired, while Jiang Jichu found a cloth and carefully wiped the long knife.

Xie Ji: "After this pass, it will be a civilian area. What are your plans?"

Jiang Jichu: "Snow pears in rock sugar, watermelon pudding."

Xie Ji: "..." After all, he is a master who came down from the seventh floor, so he only thinks about eating.

As if feeling Xie Ji's speechlessness, Jiang Jichu added: "Maybe I will find a friend of mine."

Xie Ji felt a strange feeling in his heart: "You still have friends at the altar."

Just as Jiang Jichu was about to answer, he saw Wu Kang being helped down from the second floor.

Wu Kang walked around the semi-finished cage they had made, and nodded with satisfaction: "Young children can be taught, children can be taught, young people nowadays are very capable of learning."

He came to the remaining wooden sticks that had already been cut, took out a handful of small parts from his pocket, and waved to Ran Yuanfei: "Come on, the next step is to install them on these wooden sticks."

After resting for a while, everyone got up again, carrying tools to cooperate with the prison door.

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu were the only two who were idle. Everyone had seen their skills and hoped that they would go to the top floor to get the eagle statue.

They didn't refuse, and took this opportunity to continue to rest in a fair manner.

The stool was not even as high as Xie Ji's calf, so he felt a little aggrieved to sit on it.

Everyone else was busy on the other side, Xie Ji naturally stretched one leg forward, bent the other leg, propped his elbow on his knee, and leisurely observed the tower again.

Jiang Jichu's friend's topic was interrupted by Wu Kang's appearance, and if he mentioned it again, it would be confusing. Xie Ji turned to talk about serious things: "Do you think there is something wrong?"

Jiang Jichu: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Xie Ji nodded his chin in a certain direction.

Jiang Jichu: "I thought you didn't find out."

"I found out from the moment I entered the tower, I just wanted to see what else would happen," Xie Ji, "Hey, can you take those two axes out?"

Jiang Jichu and Xie Ji distanced themselves a little to show their disgust: "That's too ugly."

He really couldn't imagine the scene where Xie Ji was chopping with ghosts with two axes.

Much scarier than ghosts.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. If Xie Ji comes again with the first little star during the mutual slashing, the lethality will definitely be outstanding.

Xie Ji: "Ugly? I think it's quite strong and masculine, and Taomu looks like a special setting for this level. Other levels may not have it, that is, other levels have nothing to restrain it."

Jiang Jichu affirmed, "Ugly."

Xie Ji regretted: "Yes. It's not very auspicious."

Xie Ji was thinking about it, but when he looked up again, he saw a figure on the fifth floor flash past.

He got up immediately, and at the same time as he got up, something fell from the fifth floor.

"careful!"

Everyone who was busy was startled, and hurriedly threw their things away and retreated quickly.

The thing fell to the ground quickly, right next to the cage.

Ran Yuanfei got closer: "It seems to be a book."

As he said he was about to pick it up, Xie Ji shouted, "Don't go there!"

The next moment, another object was thrown from the fifth floor and hit the top of the cage.

Stools, mops, and even pots and pans were smashed into the cage one by one.

"What the hell!"

"Run, run, run!"

"Cage! What about the cage!"

Wu Kang was forced to retreat, and he said anxiously: "It's a murderer! It's going to destroy the cage! Get the cage out!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"well!"

Xie Ji pressed Jiang Jichu: "You watch here, I'll go up!"

He quickly ran to the fifth floor, all kinds of sundries were still floating from the ground into the air, and were thrown downstairs again.

Like a transparent person.

Xie Ji: "Stop!"

An empty fruit knife stopped in the air, and the tip of the knife turned to face him.

Xie Ji was about to take precautions, but the fruit knife fell to the ground freely, and the sundries no longer jumped "by themselves" from the fifth floor to the first floor.

Then he felt a cool breeze around his ankles.

He subconsciously bent down and reached out to fish, but he didn't catch anything.

The unfinished sundries were still piled up in the corridor on the fifth floor. Xie Ji approached the ground to pile up the sundries and rummaged through them.

They are all small, but not lethal things.

After observing the sundries, he leaned on the railing and looked down again.

After all, it was continuously dropped from the fifth floor, and the cage suffered a lot of damage. Fortunately, when he saw the whereabouts of the first book, he reminded everyone to leave the range of the cage quickly, and no one was injured when a bigger thing fell. .

He gestured to Jiang Jichu, who was looking up at him, to show that it was safe, and he went down now.

When he came to the stairs, Xie Ji glanced at the top of the tower again.

Ran Yuanfei's voice came from the first floor: "Brother Xie! Are you okay!"

Xie Ji: "It's okay."

He retracted his gaze and returned to the first floor.

The degree of damage to the cage was lighter than what he had seen from the fifth floor, but it was definitely impossible to complete it today.

Seeing that the hope was about to be shattered, Wu Kang sat on the grand master's chair and hummed with anger. The two surrounded Wu Kang, patted Wu Kang's chest and back one by one.

"A sin!"

"A sin!"

Jiang Jichu had already picked up the book that was dropped at the beginning, and handed the book to Xie when he saw it was sent down.

"One Hundred Uses of Tao Tree"

Xie Ji: "..."

This should be the ancient book Wu Kang mentioned, and it's the name...

Ran Yuanfei leaned over: "Brother Xie, how about the fifth floor?"

Xie Ji flipped through the book: "Something moved a bunch of things and threw things in the corridor, but I'm not sure what it is."

Ran Yuanfei was slapped on the face, and said blankly: "Huh?"

Jiang Jichu: "You mean..."

Xie Ji: "Yes."

Ran Yuanfei couldn't figure out what kind of charade these two were playing, but realized that he might be a bit redundant.

Xie Ji stopped flipping the book: "I found it."

"One Hundred Ways of Using the Tao Tree" is full of ancient texts in traditional traditional form, with pictures on it. He translated while reading, and soon shared the pages about the tao tree's elimination of evil with Jiang Jichu.

It’s the same as Wu Kang’s, that is, there are more magical principles, and even the cage of the picture is consistent with what Wu Kang taught them.

The rest are asking Wu Kang what to do next.

Wu Kang's face was flushed from the suffocation, he was still breathing, and he kept patting the armrest of the grand master's chair.

"Redo! Redo tomorrow!

"You have already gained experience, and now the rest can be used again, and it will definitely be finished at noon tomorrow!

"I will supervise you tomorrow morning! Even with this old bone, I will protect you! The cage must be completed as soon as possible, so that the murderer can go to hell as soon as possible!"

Xie Ji stepped forward and showed Wu Kang "One Hundred Ways of Using the Tao Tree": "Grandpa Wu, is this the ancient book you lost?"

Wu Kang leaned on the armrest and sat up straight, squinting his eyes to identify it carefully: "Yes, yes, that's it, where did you get it?"

Xie Ji: "It was thrown from upstairs just now."

Wu Kang: "Have you seen the murderer?"

Xie Ji: "No, he didn't show his body."

Wu Kang: "Hmph! The murderer stole the ancient books and wanted to prevent us from building the cage, but it certainly didn't expect that I had memorized the books long ago. Seeing that we were about to build it, it tried every means to destroy it! We must not let it succeed!"

Xie Ji said "hmm" and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will never let it succeed."

·

that night.

After twelve o'clock, everyone who had been busy for a day had already fallen asleep, but Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu left the room in the dark, walking around the tower as lightly as possible.

Another light on the stairs went out, reminding them that three days had passed and today was the fourth.

They came all the way to the study room on the fourth floor. The bookshelves that collapsed before still maintained the appearance of you pressing me down, and no one cleaned up the books scattered on the ground.

After all, the amount of work is too large, and it doesn't help to pass the level.

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu seemed to have nothing to do, they straightened the bookshelves one by one, and put the books back on the shelves leisurely.

With the help of the light, Xie Ji opened a book casually: "Although it is an unofficial history, its dynasties and characters have appeared in history. Did you pay attention to these written materials when you passed the level before?"

Jiang Jichu: "I've seen some."

Xie Ji: "Have they all happened before?"

Jiang Jichu: "Yes."

It was still raining outside, as if against Xie Ji, it hadn't stopped since coming in.

The emerald green window panes turned dark green under the mixture of night and light, and the wind swept the rainwater on it, making continuous sounds.

Apart from the sound of rain, there was no other movement in the huge study.

There is a faint musty smell among the bookshelves, which makes Xie Ji feel a little uncomfortable, but it is still within the range of tolerance.

It's self-evident how dangerous the night at the altar level is, but Xie Ji doesn't seem to feel it. It's as relaxing and comfortable as visiting the library in broad daylight in the real world, and chatting with Jiang Jichu casually.

Xie Ji: "Did you speculate on the formation of the altar at that time?"

Jiang Jichu: "Insufficient information, and everyone was in a hurry to get out at that time, so there were only some simple guesses. The altar existed as early as a thousand years ago, and it has continued to develop with the development of the outside world."

Xie Ji: "Where's the queen?"

Jiang Jichu: "Still investigating."

Xie Ji nodded and continued to read the book.

About half an hour later, Xie Ji felt a slight coolness around his ankles again. He turned the pages of the book without stopping, but there was an imperceptible smile on his lips.

coming.

Xie Ji put the book back on the shelf, and said towards the window, "Would you like to have a chat, kid?"
