Chapter 42: The Cave of Blood Drops
Zhang Xiaofan did not expect that Baguio had such a big reaction, was surprised by her, pointing to the roof of the cave said: "There are a few red stones..."
Baguio immediately approached, to the roof of the cave to take a closer look, and indeed, through the water droplets, in the roof of the cave stone wall, there are seven half a palm-sized red stone set in the roof of the cave, the texture of the stone and the stone next to it is generally the same, only the color is different.
Zhang Xiaofan see Baguio look nervous, concentrate on looking at the roof of the cave stone wall, heart also quite curious, stood up and looked toward the place, only to see the roof of the cave that the seven red stone crooked cloth in the roof of the cave, look like an odd spoon shape.
Especially the color, I do not know how many years in this cave by the water, still red as blood, even the crystal water beads flow through these red stones, are reflected by it like blood like red, and then drop down, like blood drops from the top of the cave. However, once far away from those red stones, these water droplets returned to their original transparent appearance.
As he watched, he suddenly heard Baguio's mouth chanting, "Blood drop hole, blood drop hole, blood drop... Ha!" Baguio suddenly happy color, right hand force a shot Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan face suddenly white, this palm force is really not light.
Zhang Xiaofan heart furious, was about to ask, but saw that the woman smiled sweetly, actually does not care, a face of excitement, said: "Good you a black-hearted old man, actually put the blood dripping hole built to such a place, no wonder eight hundred years we looked for dozens of times can not be found."
Zhang Xiaofan was surprised, but in his mind, he thought about it, and then remembered that when they first met, Bi Yao had asked herself about the "Blood Dripping Cave", and then his heart immediately understood, and he grunted, and said, "Demons and evils!"
Baguio mood at this moment is very good, actually also not angry, smilingly said: "I am demonic evil, so what? I also want to thank you for helping me find this place!"
Zhang Xiaofan heart is the boss of reluctance, especially look at Baguio at the moment more and more beautiful smile, deep heart from where I do not know where to rise a nameless fire to, only feel that he unintentionally helped the devil of the demoness of a big favor, I'm afraid that in the future by the elders of the division know, have to be chastised not.
But just thought of here, but then remembered, they can't even go out at the moment, but also want to think about what the future, and then deflated, sat down without saying a word.
Baguio at the moment is very happy, did not care about Zhang Xiaofan's inexplicable look. The history of the devil religion is very long, the sects in the door, a large number of factions, rise and fall from time to time.
Eight hundred years ago, the black heart of the old man where the blood refining hall of a line, is known as the first faction of the magic religion at that time, the strength of the strong, masters like clouds, the black heart of the old man is even more on the road of cultivation of the old ancestor. But then the years changed, and with the righteousness of several fights, refining blood hall gradually declined, was replaced by other factions.
In today's world, the devil in the four major factions for the head and stand side by side, respectively, for the Acacia School, the ten thousand poison door, the Hall of Eternal Life, the Ghost King Sect, but if we talk about the power of the flourishing, but none compared to the year's flourishing refining of the Church of the Blood.
And in the devil, these eight hundred years, has been legendary that year after the war, the main head of the blood refining hall, although all died in battle, but there are many secret treasures were collected in the refining of the blood of the hall's foundation place "ten thousand bats ancient cave" underground a called "blood drop hole" secret place.
These eight hundred years, I do not know how many people in the devil secretly steal down the ancient cave of ten thousand bats, and even the dead spirit abyss has been looking all over, but are empty-handed return.
Although Baguio herself is young, but is already one of the four major sect valves "ghost king clan" in the important personage, this time to "dead spirit abyss" and so on the great danger place, but also got the ghost king patriarch's heavy entrustment. Now this eight hundred years countless predecessors can not do things to find the place, in front of her, how can she not rejoice, a moment actually completely forget that they are in a jedi.
Baguio heart rejoice, staring at the cave roof, then will rise up, carefully reach out to touch these red stones, but feel cold to the touch, but with the side of the stone is no different. She also gently knocked these red stones, but there was no reaction, at this time, her complexion in addition to excitement, has more than a few points of nervousness.
She then pulled, knocked, lifted, smashed, tugged, what techniques are used, every red stone also touched, but everything as usual, nothing unusual happened.
Zhang Xiaofan watched from below, a burst of joy in his heart, couldn't help but laugh, "I don't think this is a blood dripping hole at all, it's your own guess that's wrong!"
Baguio was helpless and landed on the ground, glaring fiercely at Zhang Xiaofan, but her heart was not without doubts, could it really be that she had guessed wrong?
In the next two hours, Zhang Xiaofan sat on the ground and watched Bi Yao, a young girl dressed in water-green clothes, frowning tightly, pacing back and forth, thinking hard, from time to time, prancing up to deal with those red stones with the newly thought out method, but none of them were without success.
Watching, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt his stomach "gurgling" two times, but his stomach is hungry. He reached into his arms, want to take some of the dry food with hunger, but unexpectedly a pull out was empty, think most likely just fell into the water accidentally lost. This time is now bitter, now hungry, in this cave and nothing to eat, in front of this small pool of water is very clear, but is so clear that even a small fish and shrimp did not see.
Seeing the hunger in the belly is getting heavier and heavier, more and more difficult, Zhang Xiaofan can not do anything, only to hold a mouth of water and drink down, but completely useless.
He sighed miserably, it seems that he is only going to starve to death here.
At this time of Baguio but completely without the feeling of hunger, the whole mind is in the seven red stone above, but busy half a day, but ultimately nothing, disheveled sit down, but the eyes are still looking at those red stone, dazed and confused.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at her like that from the side, couldn't help but remind her, "What's the use of looking at that, if we don't want to think of a way to get out, I'm afraid we'll starve to death here first."
Baguio's body moved a bit, only then did she seem to remember that there was a young disciple in the righteous path beside her, turning her head to look at him, she suddenly said, "You're hungry?"
How would Zhang Xiaofan be willing to lose this face in front of her, and immediately raised his head and said, "No."
"Gu Gu, Gu Gu", his stomach seemed to be against him, and barked twice immediately after he finished speaking.
Bi Yao couldn't help but "Puff" and laughed out, Zhang Xiaofan's face reddened, feeling great, wishing to have a crack in the ground to drill in.
Bi Yao laughed twice, but took out a dry food from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Xiaofan, and said with a straight face, "I think you'd better quickly help me think about how to unlock the opening method of this blood dripping hole!"
Zhang Xiaofan grunted, turned his head away from looking at the dried food, and said categorically, "You think you can buy me off with a single serving of dried food, delusional!"
Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, then she smiled and said, "You're wrong, I mean right now we are in a Jedi, if there is no way out we really have to die here. But there is a blood dripping hole in front of us, if we find out where this hole is located, there will be another way out maybe!"
Zhang Xiaofan heard a thought, but also has a few points of truth, in order to live, first find what this blood dripping hole is not a way out, otherwise really only wait for death.
But he is quite stubborn, hard to ignore the dry food handed over by Bi Yao, stood up, once again to those red stones, Bi Yao is not angry, just look at his figure, a slight smile, also stood up, to the top of the cave.
Those seven red stones arranged like spoons are just like this within the stone wall at the top of the cave, except for the color crimson, then there is absolutely no difference with the surrounding stones, Zhang Xiaofan looked for a long time, but it was completely nothing, he had the intention to go up and knock one by one, but once he thought of what method Bi Yao had not tried just now at the top, he gave up.
These two people from the beginning of the head up to observe, to later tired to sit on the ground, and then later Zhang Xiaofan simply do not care about what etiquette, will be dead people like that, actually lying on the ground, looking at the top of the cave, I do not know how long time, there is still no discovery, and in the end it is actually drowsy and sleepy.
This sleep is confused do not know how long, Zhang Xiaofan woke up, opened his eyes, but see Baguio actually still staring at a pair of bright eyes, looking at the seven red stones.
Zhang Xiaofan heart at the moment also have a few points of admiration for this woman, sit up, not expected body just move, suddenly the stomach is "cooing" called up, it seems to be hungry and ruthless, simply do not give face to the master.
This cave was in addition to the sound of dripping water and then no other sound, "cooing" sound here, immediately into the ears of Baguio, turned his head to look over.
Zhang Xiaofan a few groundless self-consciousness, this person can die, face is not to lose face, immediately turned his head to the other side, not to look at Baguio, but the face is still feel a burst of heat, sarcastic dry smile two, walked to the small pool of water, would like to cupping some water to drink, a little quench the hunger and thirst.
This water pool in the water, I'm afraid it is all underground springs, cold outside, clear and refreshing, more as if there is some sweetness, but Zhang Xiaofan drank two mouths, belly hunger feeling is even more intense.
After all, the water can not be eaten as a meal, Zhang Xiaofan sighed softly, looking at the surface of the water in a daze, but see the water droplets from the roof of the cave on the stone wall, hitting the water surface, ripples, a circle, a circle drifted out. Underneath the water, his somewhat haggard face was reflected, slightly reddened...
Slightly red?
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized, how the reflection in the water would have red, and hurriedly gazed at it, and saw that there were several red spots on his face reflected in the water, but then realized that something was not right, and after a closer look, he looked up to the stone wall again, and it turned out that it was the red stones on the stone wall on the roof of the cave reflected in the water, and his own reflection overlapped, which made this situation happen.
Zhang Xiaofan was then relieved, but right at this moment, his heart moved and he took a step back and gazed into the water, but he saw that the water waves were rippling, and sure enough, the reflections of the seven red stones slowly surfaced in the water pool. Because of the reflection, at this moment, their arrangement was no longer in the shape of that weird spoon, but rather, it was a bit like the palm of a person's hand.
Zhang Xiaofan stood still, not speaking for a moment, at that moment he was suddenly a little hesitant, like suddenly feeling that he had stood at an intersection, not knowing where to go from here?
This feeling flashed by, he turned around and looked back, "Hey!"
Still looking at the stone wall above her head, Baguio absently said, "I don't call it hello, that's what you said when you first met with me."
Zhang Xiaofan choked, the words that were originally on the edge of his mouth almost backed up, but somehow, he had an unusual stamina for this woman who looked a little light, saying, "Then what's your name?"
Baguio turned her head, a smile on her face, and said, "My name is Baguio."
Zhang Xiaofan read two sentences in his heart, shook his head, and said, "Come over here and take a look!"
Bi Yao was slightly surprised and stood up and walked over, saying, "What?"
Zhang Xiaofan pointed to the water surface, and Bi Yao leaned down to look, only to see the water rippling on the surface, but after concentrating her mind, she slowly saw the reflection of the seven red stones in the water like the palm of a hand.
Bi Yao's body was shocked, quickly turned around, said: "This is..."
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, said: "I also saw inadvertently, maybe not also maybe..."
Before he finished his sentence, Baguio has already cut off: "No matter what, we have to try." Said more no nonsense, clamor will cross into the water.
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, only to see that in a few moments, the dripping water droplets had already wetted the clothes on Baguio's body, but she didn't care in the slightest and just waited with bated breath.
Because she stepped into the scattered water surface, gradually calmed down again, Baguio quietly waiting for the reflection of the seven red stones to reappear in the water surface. Zhang Xiaofan looked from the shore, only to see the pearl-like crystal water droplets gently floating down from the air, landing on this beautiful woman's hair and shoulders, on her face and clothes.
Transparent and clear water droplets, from the tips of her black hair, slipped down, slowly flowed through her snow white skin, as if even her face was beautiful and almost transparent.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly looked infatuated, only to feel that the original clattering water in the cave suddenly far away, in his eyes only in front of this standing in the water like a lotus flower as beautiful as a woman, with a stirring beauty, come to the face.
The reflection of the seven red stones slowly emerged, like a palm, quietly floating in the water. Baguio looked at the right position, slowly stretched out her right hand, and at the position of that palm, pressed down.
Her jade-like hand passed through the gentle waves of water, reaching downwards, the reflection of the red stone in the water floated ghostly, the water sparkled, reflecting light from who knows where, illuminating the face of this beautiful woman, slightly.
The water pool is very shallow, Bi Yao's hand quickly touched the bottom of the pool, there is a layer of sand and gravel thinly spread on the bottom of the water, touching the hand, Bi Yao then felt under her hand there are five slightly protruding places, being the five fingertips of her own palm. Her heart a happy, with a hand flick, sure enough in this sandstone under, there are five set in the ground of the small stone, vaguely flooded with red light.
Bi Yao didn't think much more, five fingers pressed hard, pressed downward, then looked up.
There was not the slightest movement.
The joy on Bi Yao's face froze all of a sudden, and her gaze met with Zhang Xiaofan on the shore for a moment before turning back.
Zhang Xiaofan just wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but suddenly, she only saw that Baguio again seemed to have remembered something, gazing at the water surface, looking carefully near the reflection of the other two points of the red stone, and sure enough, she found two more small stones, and this time, she seemed to be more nervous, and cautiously pressed her left hand on it as well, and then, at the same time, she pressed the seven small stones down.
There was once a moment when both Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao thought that they had failed again, this cave was silent, and there was no sound other than the sound of dripping water.
However, after they had waited for a long moment, an ear-piercing but heavy "kakak" sound rang out in the cave.
Bi Yao and Zhang Xiaofan looked at the same time, only to see in the water curtain behind, that once seamless, extremely hard stone wall, actually is the whole piece of backward into, although slow, but finally revealed a new hole.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the opening of this secret hole in a daze, there was some excitement in his heart, some fear, but in the deep heart, as if he himself was unwilling to admit it, he was still a little curious.
This eight hundred years old demonic sect's heavy ground, what exactly would be inside?
Baguio slowly walked up the shore, stood to his side, eye flow in his eyes, full of laughter, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her, but saw her skin as snow, clear and beautiful, face even more crystalline water droplets gently slipped, fell, almost as if hitting in the heart of the general.
His body shook, not daring to look again, he turned his head away and whispered, "Congratulations."
It was as if Baguio was stunned for a moment, but the smile in her eyes as she looked at him did not diminish in the slightest, and her voice also appeared to carry a bit of gentleness as she said, "It's all because you're meticulous."
Zhang Xiaofan somehow, his mouth was a bit dry and his face was a bit bashful and hot, he took a step to the side and subconsciously moved away from this woman, saying, "Then why don't you go in and take a look?"
Baguio looked at him and suddenly smiled, "You seem to be a bit afraid of me?"
Zhang Xiaofan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and said, "No, no..."
Baguio looked at him for a long time and nodded, but still had a smile on her face, saying, "Then let's go in together!"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and hesitated for a moment, saying, "No, it's not good, this is your Demon Sect's place, it's better if you do it yourself..."
Baguio hummed and said, "Then if there is a way out inside, could it be that you won't go in either?"
Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment, scratched his head and said, "That's true, then, then let's go!"
Bi Yao revealed a smile and nodded, stepping into the water once again, passing through the curtains and walking into that hole, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
It was a deep tunnel, the things glowing on the stone walls on the side of the cave were obviously much less than on the outer passage, and although one could barely still see the path, it was very dim.
Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio walked very carefully, after all, this was the first time anyone had been here in 800 years, and no one knew if those old monsters from the Blood Refining Hall back in the day would have left behind some particularly formidable prohibitions.
This way up, but also peaceful, and did not happen what accident, just this channel is quite twisted, and deep and long, and slowly up, Zhang Xiaofan heart rough calculation, I'm afraid that their own and Baguio two people at this moment has reached the center of the mountain belly.
He was pondering, walking in front of Baguio suddenly stopped and whispered, "Here it is."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped and he looked forward, only to see that at the end of the tunnel ahead, a bright light shone through, where a large stone room was faintly seen. The duo looked at each other, and Baguio took the first step, walking towards there.
Gradually approaching, the two also see the stone room situation, the whole stone room is a round shape, the tunnel is in the middle of the stone room, and in the opposite side of it, there is actually a passageway extends inward, it seems that this is not the only end.
In the stone room on the left, placed two huge stone statue, a kind eyebrow, smile and stand, a dress was carved as the wind blowing like vivid, is a bit like the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.
The other is a completely different look, hideous and vicious, black face ghost horns, eight hands and four heads, and even in the mouth is also carved with a trace of blood flowing down, people look shudder.
In addition in front of these two statues, there is a stone table, a incense burner on the top, next to a few packets of incense and candles, are dusty all over, it is estimated that this eight hundred years has never had incense.
As for the other end of this stone room, but there were only a few futons, casually thrown on the ground, nothing else.
Zhang Xiaofan look in the eyes, is surprised at, but see Baguio look solemn, walked up to pick up a futon, shake off the dust to the statue in front of the stone table, and then picked up the table incense and candles, with their own flint in their arms to hit the light, inserted into the incense burner, and walked back to the futon before, a face of solemn kneeling down.
In the middle of the stone room, but see the light smoke floating up, she prostrated on the ground.
Zhang Xiaofan stood behind her and heard her voice echoing in this stone chamber.
"Holy Mother of the Spectral Brightness, Heavenly Fate Bright King, Bi Yao, a forty-third generation disciple of the Holy Sect, sincerely pays her respects. The Holy Sect has been in trouble for a long time, and countless members of the congregation have been dedicated to the revitalization of the Holy Sect, serving one after another. I only hope that the Holy Mother Mingwang will have mercy on the living beings and grant me well-being, so that I can revitalize the Sacred Sect, transform all the living beings, and reach the Realm of Everlasting Immortality and Ultimate Bliss and Joy together!"
Zhang Xiaofan slightly pondered, then understood, these two idols are only afraid of the evil gods worshipped by the people in the demonic sect, could not help but sneer, turned his head away, no longer look at it more.
