Chapter 160: Eyes on the mural. Ye Lu looked at the backs of the little kids...
Ye Lu looked at the backs of the little kids, with a smile on his face.
Only after the backs of the little guys disappeared from his sight did Ye Lu withdraw his gaze.
He Si's uncle didn't plan to stay too long. He waved to Ye Lu and the other two, turned around and left.
Xi Mingren had already thrown away all the strange flesh and blood he had killed. He watched the flesh and blood being eaten by the strange plants, and then he came back and looked at the Shuifu Mountain, which was completely different from before. He said in a light tone: "These little guys did a good job."
"Yeah, it's clean."
The three people in Chongshan looked at Shuifu Mountain under the moonlight and realized that it was already dark. They turned around and prepared to go back to Chongshan to rest.
Some time passed.
The ghost scholar walked out of the small building with a smile on his face, holding a palm-sized black stone in his hand, which was still glowing slightly.
As soon as Ye Lu saw the ghost scholar's expression, he knew that he was in a very good mood.
As soon as Ye Lu thought about it, he knew what the ghost scholar was happy about.
"Have you figured it out?" Ye Lu asked curiously.
"This key can really enter the barrier. As for how we can find the peach tree in the wing room, I have some idea now." When the ghost scholar said this, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, it was not as simple as he said.
"Let's go without further ado." Ye Lu put down the work in his hands and said in a firm tone.
"Where is Ah Xi?" The ghost scholar looked behind Ye Lu, and did not see the figure of the man with the Xi destiny, so he asked with a little curiosity.
Ye Lu led the way in front and said concisely: "He will follow."
The ghost scholar obediently did not ask any further questions. Sure enough, before Ye Lu and the ghost scholar had walked too far, the playful man suddenly appeared from somewhere and caught up with them.
The three of them arrived at the shore of Shentan Lake with familiarity.
The playful man was the last one to come forward. There was nothing he could do. His two brothers didn't move. The playful man covered his mouth with a domino with one hand, looked at the water, sighed helplessly and said, "I'm used to being in the water now."
It was clear that he was a bird that hated water not long ago, but now that he has been in the water so many times, he has become accustomed to it.
He said that we can't let funny people play with street urchins, right? When the ghost scholar heard the tone of the playful man, which was obviously learned from Huang Jinju, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Just play when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"You're used to the water. That's just fine. You're already an adult, but you still think you're a bird cub. Get out of here!"
When the playful man heard the ghost scholar's words, his cheeks puffed up, but he finally slid into the water obediently.
The three men arrived at the bottom of the pond. The water was still icy cold. The bottom of the pond was very dark, with stone walls everywhere. It was very gloomy, with only some green moss growing there. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Three people appeared outside the door?
As soon as it appeared, layers of barriers appeared around the ancient gate, and invisible vortices appeared in the barriers.
The ghost scholar stepped forward and raised a black stone in his hand. The stone flashed the same light as the barrier. Soon, the light merged with the light of the stone, and the barrier slowly opened.
"It's open!" A hint of joy flashed in the ghost scholar's eyes, and he was the first to enter the barrier.
Ye Lu and Xi Mingren followed closely behind.
The three of them soon arrived at the door of the dark room. That door was more difficult to find and required a higher key. Now they had to see if this black stone was really useful.
"Now let's see if the person the vermilion lens found is really useful." The ghost scholar looked at the door in front of him and was in the mood to joke with the person next to him.
"Come in!" Ye Lu was very confident in Zhu Hui. Zhu Hui usually didn't take action, but once he promised something, he would most likely do it.
The merchants in Shizhu Village in this world are very similar to the merchants he had seen in his previous life. Needless to say, they are unreliable in normal times, but when it comes to doing business, they are trustworthy and always do what they say. This also makes Ye Lu feel nostalgic when he sees them.
"Squeak!" An almost inaudible sound.
The door opened, revealing a tiny gap from inside.
"You can come in!" The man heard the voice the first time, immediately looked up, looked at the crack, and said concisely?
As soon as the playful man finished speaking, the door slowly opened from the inside.
This time, Ye Lu took the lead and stepped into the door first, followed by the ghost scholar in the middle and the playful man at the end. The three of them entered the dark room, which was still empty as when they left before, except for the murals on the wall.
"Ah Gui, where can I find the clue you mentioned?" Ye Lu looked up and down for a moment, confirmed that the dark room was safe, then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the ghost scholar behind him.
As soon as the ghost scholar entered the room, his eyes were fixed on the murals on the wall.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at the black flesh above the mural, touched his chin, and after a moment, the ghost scholar smiled: "It is true."
"Hmm?" Ye Lu asked.
The ghost scholar explained, "When I went back, I kept thinking about the creation map of all races on the mural. The mother goddess in the map does meet their aesthetic standards, but why are the eyes of the mother goddess all looking in the same direction?"
"At first, I thought we were looking at Golden Orange." The ghost scholar paused. The other two heard what the ghost scholar said and looked at the black piece of flesh on the mural. Countless eyes opened and closed, but in fact, if you pay more attention, you will find that these eyes are all staring at one direction.
The ghost scholar pointed lightly at the door.
This was exactly where the three of them first met Golden Orange.
Ye Lu nodded in his heart, he also noticed it at that time, so he thought there was no problem. Could it be that Ah Gui discovered something wrong?
Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar, asking with a questioning look, "Could it be that? Aren't you using the mural to monitor Huang Jinju?"
Although he didn't say anything, the ghost scholar seemed to understand what he meant.
"But when I went back and saw the insect corpses, I found that I was wrong. This dark room is so small. Is it possible that it was not originally intended for human use? After all, humans are just skin bags to these other races. How can you worship gods with skin bags?" When the ghost scholar said this, there was a slight smile in his tone.
"I changed my mind and thought, what if I look from the height of the insect corpse?" The ghost scholar calmly expressed his guess.
Not only that, the ghost scholar gestured with his other hand while speaking.
"That insect corpse is almost below my knees. If it stands upright to worship--" The ghost scholar slowly half-knelt down, supporting himself with one hand, while looking up at the murals on the wall from this angle, following the direction where the countless eyes on the wall were looking.
Found it!
The ghost scholar followed these lines and saw a very inconspicuous place, which was less than three meters behind the golden orange. From this position, even if the insect corpse came in upright, it could still meet the eyes on the mural.
"It's right here!" The ghost scholar smiled and tapped the ground lightly with one hand. Sure enough, after he tapped lightly, the ground made a dull, empty sound.
Ye Lu also understood the ghost scholar's actions. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised one hand. A long bone lamp appeared in his hand, with four gods with human heads and snake bodies hovering on the top.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Lu said softly.
The ghost scholar jumped lightly to the side.
Ye Lu held the lamp in one hand and smashed the long handle downwards hard.
"boom!"
A loud roar was heard!
