Chen Qing makes fans envy

Ling that black mane spirit dog. "

Wei Wuxian stood up when he heard Jin Ling's name, but was immediately forced to squat down by the barking of the dog.I shouted: "The spirit dog is barking wildly, something must have happened."

Wei Wuxian kept complaining, and stood up with trembling legs: "That, that, that, that, that, let's go and have a look!"

A few people tumbled and stumbled, followed the sound of dogs barking all the way, but made two laps in the fir forest.The bark of the black-maned spirit dog also fluctuated from near to far.

Wei WuXian listened to the dog barking for a long time, managed to get used to it, at least he stopped stuttering: "Is there a maze here?"

This labyrinth was obviously artificially created, just now the rumors about Xinglu Ridge were just speculation, but now it's interesting.

The black-maned spirit dog roared for half a stick of incense and was still full of energy. The two of them followed the sound after breaking through the maze. After a while, the outlines of dense stone castles emerged in the cedar forest.

The stone castles are all made of gray-white stones, covered with green vines and fallen leaves, and each one is built into a strange semicircle shape, as if several large bowls are buckled on the ground.

In Xinglu Ridge, there really is such a stone fortress, it seems that the rumors are not groundless.But whether this is a "man-eating castle" or what is inside is hard to say.

Jin Ling's black-maned spirit dog was on the outskirts of the stone castles, running around it, sometimes purring softly, sometimes barking loudly.Seeing Lan Wangji approaching, although Wei Lu retreated timidly, he did not run away, but yelled louder at them, and looked at the stone castle, his front paws were digging a hole on the ground and the dirt flew up, anxiously Uneasy.Wei Wuxian hid behind my back, and said in pain, "Why hasn't it left yet... Where is its master? Why is the master gone?!"

"Where's Jin Ling!" My heart tightened, and I looked around but couldn't find that lifelike child.

From the moment he heard the dog barking, until now he hadn't heard any sound from Jin Ling, not even a cry for help.He must have brought the black-maned spirit dog here, and he must have broken the maze, and a living person seemed to have disappeared just like that.

Lan Wangji said, "Go in and have a look."

Wei Wuxian said, "How to get in? No way."

Really no way.The gray-white stones are tightly sealed, without doors and windows.The black-maned spirit dog jumped up whimpering, as if it wanted to bite the hem of Lan Wangji's clothes, but didn't dare, went around him and bit Wei Wuxian's hem, dragging him out.

Wei Wuxian's soul was about to come out of his body, and he stretched out his hands to me: "Qiqi...Qiqi!"

The black-maned spirit dog dragged Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian dragged me, and a dog dragged me around in a half circle, behind the stone castle.There is a cave that is as high as a person here.The shape is irregular, and the ground is full of large and small gravel, obviously just blasted by someone with a violent magic weapon.The inside of the cave is so dark that it is not clear, but there seems to be a faint red light.The black-maned spirit dog let go of its mouth, barked wildly at the inside, and wagged its tail wildly at the two.

Needless to say, it must have been Jin Ling who forcefully breached the stone castle, but something unexpected happened after entering.

Bichen automatically unsheathed half an inch, and the blade emitted a cold light blue halo, illuminating the dark road ahead. Lan Wangji bent down and entered first.Wei Wuxian was driven crazy by the dog, and rushed in after him, almost colliding with him.I quickly took his hand, not knowing whether to blame or helpless, I shook my head.

The black-maned spirit dog clearly wanted to follow in, and tried to rush in, but it seemed to be blocked by some force, and it couldn't break through the barrier no matter what, so it had to sit down at the entrance of the cave, wagging its tail even more crazily.

Wei Wuxian was so happy that he almost knelt down for it, withdrew his hand, and walked a few steps in, the cold blue sword light was set off by the dark surroundings into cold white.

The tall trees on Xinglu Ridge and the deep forest are very shady, but the inside of this stone castle is even more bleak.Wei WuXian went into battle in light clothes, the cuffs and vest whizzed through the cold wind, and the cold sweat that had been frightened by the black-maned spirit dog just now dried up.The light at the entrance of the cave has already disappeared like a candle being extinguished, and the further you go in, the wider and darker it becomes.

The top of the stone castle was round, Wei Wuxian kicked the gravel beside his feet, and could hear a slight echo.

He finally couldn't help it, stopped, pressed his right hand on his temple, and frowned slightly.

I turned around and said, "How?"

Wei Wuxian said, "...so noisy."

Inside the stone castle, there was a dead silence, as quiet as a tomb.It would have been like a tomb.

But in Wei Wuxian's ears, they are surrounded by noise at this moment.

Chen Qing Jian Tan

Preface Twelve

This noise came from all directions.

Front, back, left, right, above the head and under the feet, it was like a vast ocean of whispers, chattering and laughing.There were men and women, old and young, big and young, Wei Wuxian could even hear some sporadic words clearly, but they were so fleeting that he couldn't grasp the exact words.

It was just too loud.

Wei Wuxian continued to press his temple with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a wind evil plate that could fit in the palm of his hand from his Qiankun bag.The pointer of the Fengxie disk tremblingly circled twice, faster and faster, and after a short while, it started to rotate crazily!

Last time, the wind evil disk on Dafan Mountain couldn't point out the direction, which was already weird.But this time it rotated automatically without stopping for a moment. This situation is even more incredible than the pointer not moving at all.

The ominous shadow in Wei Wuxian's heart was getting thicker and thicker, and he shouted: "Jin Ling!"

The three of them had been walking in the stone fort for a while, but no living person was seen.I yelled a few times, but there was no answer.The first few stone chambers were empty, but after going deep, suddenly there was a dark coffin in the middle of a stone chamber.

This coffin is placed here, very abrupt.But the whole body of the coffin was dark, and the shape of the coffin was very beautiful. Wei WuXian liked it very much, and couldn't help but patted it. The wood was solid, and the sound was firm, and he praised: "A good coffin."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian stood on both sides of it, looked at each other, and at the same time reached out to open the coffin lid.

The moment the coffin lid was opened, the surrounding noise suddenly multiplied, and the tide flooded my hearing.

It seemed that they had been peeped by countless pairs of eyes whose owners were quietly monitoring and discussing their every word and deed, and when they saw that they were going to open the coffin, they suddenly became excited.Wei Wuxian thought of dozens of possibilities, and he was ready to deal with the smell of rancidity, protruding claws, spraying poisonous water, scattering poisonous smoke, ghosts rushing, and so on. Of course, what he hopes most is to see Jin Ling .However, nothing happened, nothing happened.

"Qiqi, what's the matter with you?" I suppressed the ups and downs of resentment in my chest, shook my head and smiled at Wei Wuxian.

"It's okay, it's important to find Jin Ling"

Lan Wangji looked up, and it turned out to be an empty coffin.

Wei Wuxian was a little surprised, but also a little disappointed that Jin Ling wasn't trapped here.

Lan Wangji got closer again, Bichen came out of the sheath a few inches automatically, and the cold light illuminated the bottom of the coffin.Only then did he realize that there was nothing in the coffin.It's just that the things inside are much smaller than the corpse he expected, hidden in the deepest part of the bottom of the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a long knife.

This knife has no scabbard, the handle seems to be made of gold, it looks heavy and heavy, the blade is slender, the blade is sharp and sharp, resting on a layer of red cloth at the bottom of the coffin, it reflects the color of blood, and it is a fierce killing Qi.

There was no body in the coffin, but a knife.This stone castle on Xinglu Ridge is really weird everywhere, and every step reveals strangeness.

The two closed the lid of the coffin and continued to walk in. There were also several stone chambers where such coffins were found. Judging from the texture of the coffins, the ages were different, and a long knife was placed in each coffin.Until the last room, there was still no sign of Jin Ling.Wei Wuxian closed the coffin lid, feeling a little uneasy.

Lan Wangji saw that he frowned and said nothing, and after a moment of pondering, he placed the guqin horizontally on the coffin, raised his hand, and a string of strings flowed out from between his fingers.

He only played a short section, and then withdrew his right hand from the top of the piano body, staring intently at the still vibrating strings.

Suddenly, the strings shook, and a note popped out spontaneously.

Wei Wuxian asked, ""Question of the Spirit"?"

"Ask the Spirit" is a famous song composed by the ancestors of the Gusu Lan family.It is different from "The Conjuring" in that it mostly acts on situations where the identity of the deceased is unknown and there is no medium.The player plays questions with the sound of the piano, asking questions to the dead, and the echoes of the dead will be transformed into rhythms by "Questing the Spirit", which will be reflected on the strings.

The strings moved spontaneously, indicating that Lan Wangji had invited one of the dead souls in the castle.Next, the two sides should ask and answer in Qin language.

Qin language is the unique secret skill of the Gusu Lan clan. Although Wei Wuxian has dabbled in a wide range of skills, there are some places where he can't understand Qin language.He said softly: "Hanguang-jun, ask it for me, what is this place, what is it for, and who built it."

Lan Wangji was proficient in Lingqin language, without thinking about it, he just picked up two or three clear tones.After a while, the strings played two more times automatically.Wei Wuxian hurriedly asked, "What did it say?"

Lan Wangji: "I don't know."

Wei Wuxian: "Huh?"

Lan Wangji said slowly, "It said, 'I don't know'."

"..." Wei Wuxian looked at him, and suddenly remembered a certain conversation about "casual" many years ago, touched his nose, feeling bored, thinking: "Lan Zhan is so promising, he has learned to choke me. "

"Pig's head!" I patted his forehead and said, Wei Wuxian was about to stick to me with a smile on his face.

When the question failed, Lan Wangji played another sentence.The strings echoed again, and it was still the two clanging tones just now.Wei Wuxian heard that the answer was "I don't know" again this time, and asked, "What did you ask it again?"

Lan Wangji said, "Why did you die?"

I said: "If you are assassinated unintentionally, you may not know why you died. You might as well ask it, if it knows who killed it."

Lan Wangji raised his hand to pluck the strings.
