Chapter 163
To be honest, Jing Li was still a little moved by the Futu Pagoda. However, even though Ziling said so, she really responded so honestly and directly, and there was something wrong, so she turned her head to look at Cang Qi, her eyes seemed to be I mean to ask.
Cang Qi thought for a while, took out something from the storage ring, turned into a ray of spiritual light and fell into Ziling's arms.
The light yellow aura was hazy, and it dissipated after a while, revealing the true face of the treasure inside.
It is a very light blue pearl, if you don't look closely, at first glance, you will feel that it is transparent, colorless and unremarkable; a large white cloud just passed by, blocking the sun and blocking the sunlight in the sky. Behind the clouds, the sky darkened in an instant, but the bright pearl was full of light, with brilliance moving slowly inside; the darker the sky, the brighter the brilliance.
Ziling carefully looked at the bottom of the pearl, there just emerged a delicate butterfly, its wings spread out, just enclosing the whole bottom, the two tentacles at the top trembled slightly, it was like a living thing.
As the chief disciple of Biqing Pavilion, Ziling naturally had some knowledge, and she widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Ye Lingzhu!"
Practicing in this world will inevitably encounter some troubles. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be some omissions. One mistake may endanger your life. In this case, a defensive magic weapon is particularly important.
Naturally, the defensive magic weapons also have different levels and attributes. Magic weapons such as soft armor and spirit beads have always been people's first choice. Don't look at Ziling's fluttering long skirt, and she is also wearing a pair of gold silk soft weapons inside. Armored.
This was when she was apprenticed to a teacher, and the master gave her a rare dual-attribute high-level defense magic weapon. Ziling has always loved it like a treasure, but now in front of this Ye Lingzhu, even the soft armor of gold silk seems inferior up.
The special feature of Yeling Orb is that besides being a rare non-attribute magic weapon, its greater feature lies in "treating the other body with the same way" - the general defensive magic weapon is to block the opponent attack, protect the master; but the night spirit pearl is not the case, it can not only help to resist the attack, more importantly, it will rebound, what kind of moves the opponent uses, how much force is used to deal with you, when these attacks fall on the night spirit pearl After it is over, it will be returned to the opponent in its original form.
She just heard people talk about it, and she never expected to see it with her own eyes one day. It was still in the palm of her own hand. It took Ziling who was stunned by Cang Qi's big handwriting to calm down after a while. Taking a breath, he tried his best to take his sight away from the Yeling Orb, and looked elsewhere, and handed the Yeling Orb in his hand to Cang Qi. "This is really too precious, I'd better ask Senior Brother Cang Qi to take it back."
The three of them stood together in this place for so long, Cang Qi finally took a direct look at Ziling, raised his eyebrows in surprise, but didn't answer - as he is a person, it is naturally impossible for him to be in vain. People are cheap, not to mention that this cheap is still a pagoda.
"Why is Miss Ziling doing this?" Seeing that Cang Qi didn't want to talk, Jing Li touched his nose and had no choice but to persuade him, "If Miss Ziling doesn't want to accept the Ye Lingzhu, then we really have no face to follow." The girl went to see it in the Buddha Pagoda."
Ziling muttered several times, but still felt that this thing was hot, "But this is also..." It's too precious...
"Compared to the chance that the girl gave me, it's really nothing." Jing Li waved his hand, interrupted the other party's unfinished words, thought for a while and said, "Furthermore, with all due respect, the girl is now separated from her classmates. It's inconvenient to walk alone, it's safer to have the Ye Lingzhu with you."
He himself has a dark face for thousands of years, but Ziling is not much better. Every time he meets, his life is at stake. It is estimated that this girl is also a big water divination.
Originally, she had made up her mind to return the Ye Lingzhu, but when she heard the second half of Jing Li's words, Ziling couldn't help but hesitate. Walking in a secret place is very risky - among other things, the bodies of the two pursuers are still lying not far away. If Jing Li and the two of them hadn't rescued each other, the one lying on the ground now would probably be him up.
Thinking of this, Ziling couldn't help tightening the fingers holding Ye Lingzhu.
"Girls should think more about themselves." Seeing the other person's expression in his eyes, Jing Li's tone became more sincere, and said, "Besides, my brother and I are really a bit..." Li smiled, and pointed at Ziling's skirt, "This thing is destined for Miss Ziling, so please don't refuse it. In my opinion, there is nothing more suitable than a girl." —— Ziling's On the hem of the skirt, there happened to be a few colorful butterflies embroidered.
Ziling who didn't expect Jing Li to say that, lowered her head embarrassingly, revealing a section of her fair neck, and her ears that were half hidden in her hair were already smudged with a layer of rouge.
After a while, he said in a low voice, "Then... Ziling thanked the two senior brothers."
Cang Qi cast a sideways glance at Jing Li, Jing Li was shocked by that chilly gaze, and felt bewildered, when he caught a glimpse of Ruo Feixia's sister Ziling from the corner of his eye, he reacted belatedly, using the method of cultivation The degree of conservatism in the world... Those two words I said just now seemed to be almost teasing.
"Eh..." Jing Li scratched his face in embarrassment, avoided the other party's sight with inexplicable guilt, and coughed dryly, "Then what... let's go?"
……
The tattered scroll had its own wayfinding function, leading the three of them to find the location of the Pagoda smoothly.
From a distance, I feel that the tower is amazing. This feeling will become stronger when I stand in front of the tower.
The painting style of the Futu Pagoda is different from the common ancient pagodas. The interval between each floor is very long, and the body of the pagoda is thin. From a distance, it looks like a sharp pole, straight into the sky.Surrounded by circles of green clouds and mist, dozens of chains drilled from the ground, passed through the corners of each floor, climbed along the body of the tower to the top of the tower, and locked the entire pagoda in it, as if to suppress It looks like a beast.
The pagoda has nine floors and is divided into eight sides, and there are stone gates on the base of each side, and the lintels have different line engravings.
Jing Li took out the key that Ziling had given them before he appeared, and after looking at it for a while, he saw similar engravings on the inside of the base of the stone nail, there were four of them.
It is estimated that because the three keys are together, the engravings on the top are also consecutive numbers, from three to five, without any skips or omissions in the middle.
Ziling looked up at the gloomy ancient tower in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and whispered, "Shall we go in now?"
Although judging from the scroll, there are many good things in it, but I always feel that there are other things in it besides those, which makes people feel a little palpitating.
However, everyone entered through different doors, that is to say, the three of them must be separated. Ziling wrinkled her pretty face, thinking silently in her heart, hoping that after entering, she could meet Jing Li sooner. them.
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, a gust of wind suddenly blew, setting off layer after layer of grass waves on the grass, and the blown chains swayed in the wind, but strangely did not make any sound.
Jing Li squinted his eyes and looked at the crooked chains, not only the chains, he had never even heard the wind in such a strong wind. ——He could even hear his own breathing in such a strong wind.
"!—"
A dull and depressing muffled sound suddenly rang in their ears, and the sound sounded like something heavy fell from a high place.
The voice was not loud at first, but soon it gradually increased and became deafening.
Just wondering where the voice came from, he heard Cang Qi's voice, only two words in a simple and concise manner. "Tower bell."
Jing Li raised his head, and sure enough, he saw the eight tower bells that were tottering in the strong wind.
The tower bell of this pagoda is also different from other pagodas, not on every floor, but only on the bottom floor.
All of them are simple and old, like tower bells with hexagonal lamps swaying with the wind, but when you listen carefully, you can find that not all of the eight tower bells have sound, on the contrary, only one of them can make sound, and the other All seven of them were dull bells, just as he felt strange, Cang Qi said suddenly, "Someone has already entered the tower."
"?" Jing Li was puzzled, "Because only one tower bell rang?"
Maybe the other seven are broken...
Cang Qi raised his chin, motioning Jing Li to look at the stone gate under the tower bell.
Jing Li stared at it for a while, but found nothing wrong - the stone door was closed like the others.
"???"
"Look at those engravings."
Jing Li: "..."
Compared with the line engravings on the other lintels, the color of the line engravings here is slightly duller, showing a light gray rather than dark black.
Jing Li dubiously walked around the pagoda, but he really didn't find the second light-colored engraving.
They didn't expect that someone actually arrived, and they didn't know when this person came. If they found the key and entered the Pagoda on the first day they came in, then their trip would be considered in vain.
Jing Li walked to the stone gate corresponding to the engraving on his key, and inserted the stone nail vertically into the dent on the stone gate. With the dent as the center, a layer appeared on the entire stone gate in an instant. The fluctuating light curtain smiled. "Looks like we're lucky."
Seeing this, Ziling couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and quickly walked to the stone door on Jing Li's right, and inserted her own key in. Seeing the same light curtain appear, she felt a little nervous, not knowing what was waiting inside. What will be hers.
"Senior brother."
Jing Li turned his head sideways, just in time to meet Cang Qi's eyes. "Brother?"
"Be careful."
Jing Li's heart warmed up, he smiled and said, "Senior brother too."
As soon as Ziling raised her head, she saw Jing Li and Cang Qi talking beside her. Cang Qi lowered his head slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was different from the smile she was used to seeing. It was different from usual. The gentle feeling that has never been seen in him, the occasional exchange of eyes with Jing Li, the indescribable tacit understanding.
Looking at them, Ziling suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and covered her chest strangely, a little strangely, could it be that the old wound on her body has not healed yet?
