Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 7: Copper Bell

The room full of branches and the walls engraved with simple and complicated patterns are solemn but lonely.There are no windows, no sunlight, no sound of wind and water from the outside world, but the green leaves on the branches are growing vigorously, plump, round and thriving.

Thick branches pierced through the wall, covered the entire room with green leaves, and then scattered in all directions through the wall, with no end in sight and difficult to find.

On one of the thickest branches, sat a man quietly, with waist-length hair tied behind his head, holding a steel knife in his pale but slender hand, "Patta...Patta..." The crisp and resonant music repeats non-stop.The glowing green light flickered around him, then spread out mischievously, and disappeared into the branches.

Sparse sawdust fell as the man's dexterous fingers turned, and the wooden blocks in his hands gradually took on the shape of gears. They were not only used for something, but also scattered around him. The different parts must be assembled and shaped to know their specific functions.

In the safe and empty room, the man is as beautiful as the scenery, but his hands holding the steel knife stopped suddenly, one hand covered his chest, the other hand covered his mouth and coughed in pain: "Ahem..."

Taking a deep breath, the man seemed to want to relieve it, but he didn't want to feel a sudden pain in his chest. The steel knife in Hei's hand fell to the ground, and after a crisp sound, no one cared about it. The man gasped in pain, sweating coldly. Gradually emerged, but after a while, the clothes were soaked.

"Ahem... um..." I felt dizzy for a while. Is it time?The man's handsome brows gradually frowned, with unwillingness and helplessness, and his darkened eyes were just looking for the steel knife that fell somewhere. Before the time came, he could still bear it...

A pair of slender hands suddenly appeared in front of him. The man was taken aback, gasped and raised his head, and saw a picturesque, fairy-like woman looking at him anxiously.

The woman shook her head, her face was full of unbearable, as if she wanted him to rest, but unfortunately, her face was gradually blurred.

Has the time really come?The man just smiled: "Ahem...it seems that I'm going to... trouble you again." It was a short sentence, but it was said very hard.

The woman nodded, her watery eyes widened suddenly, and she took a step forward to support the unconscious man, but unfortunately, the transparent arms passed through the man's body after all.Seeing that the man was about to fall, the woman looked anxious and unwilling, but fortunately, the branches and leaves in this room were lush, the woman waved her hand quickly, and several vines came on the mat, intertwined with each other and finally caught the man before falling to the ground. Caught it intact.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down next to the man with a little helplessness, waved her hand, and a thin blanket was brought over, giving the weak man some warmth.

[You, why bother? ] Clear and sweet voice, it's a pity that no one can hear it at the moment.Even in the dream, the man beside him always had his brows furrowed, and his tightly pursed lips revealed a sense of fragility and stubbornness.

The woman glanced at the scattered parts, as if thinking of something, she couldn't help standing up and walking through the wall.

This is a room that is the same as before, with strong branches hanging all over the walls, and layers of lush leaves covering the sky, the only difference is probably the crowd who are sitting or standing, or lying or lying.

They were talking and laughing, but they didn't make a sound or change their movements, because they were not real people, they were all wooden dolls, and they were stuck in the happiest period of time.

The woman looked at the group of Yanjia people with flickering eyes, but she couldn't tell whether it was sadness or envy.Among them was a girl who looked exactly like her, with a smile as bright as a summer flower.

"Hey, are those people important to you?" That was when she could talk, and when they weren't drained of hope.

"..."

"Why don't you speak? Am I wrong?"

"Heh... not all, there is one most important person who is not inside..."

"Well, the most important person is not in there? Why?"

She remembered that at that time the sadness in the man's eyes was so strong that she thought he would cry.

But the man didn't. He just smiled and said with that expression: "It's because it's too important, so I can't do it."

"The appearance of him in my heart, if it is not a thousand words, how can I express it..."

**********

"You are my grand master? Meow meow, then who is my master?" It was Le Wuyi with a surprised face. When they met, the other party was still a half-grown child.

"Aye, I heard that you have taken in a disciple? But I don't remember you ever had a disciple." It was Hua Yue with a surprised face. In this life, she is still his right-hand man.

"Are you sick?" It was the indifferent pupil, followed by the bright-eyed child.In this life, except for the regret of Yaotong, he is in good health.

It seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that everything has changed.Le Wuyi grew up in Lieshan, Tong has a healthy body, and Xiaoxi has a happy family...Everything is developing in a good direction, without Jumu, without the trouble of illness, without perennial In the severe cold, except for those who died in their prime, everyone has returned, and everything seems to have changed.

But Shen Ye's heart was empty because that person didn't come back.

The person who chased after him and called him "Master" didn't come back.

The person who persisted in saying "no regrets" even though his face showed pain did not come back.

The person who kept the promise that he would not break it, but was lost in his previous life did not come back.

why?

Everyone is back, why didn't you come back?

Shen Ye thought of Cang Ming, and from then on, he no longer smiled.

If your soul is scattered...then when I have fulfilled my obligations and responsibilities in this life, I will come to accompany you...

"Dingling—" The moment the crisp bell rang in his ears, Shen Ye opened his eyes vigilantly.He didn't know when the water had receded, and he didn't know when they fell to the ground. He only saw Le Wuyi and Huang's group lying on the ground, unconscious.

Standing up quickly, Shen Ye frowned and looked around. The dark corridor had no lighting, and the surroundings were covered with huge stone slabs with chiseled traces. Looking up, it was the same high passageway that didn't reach the top. It just fell from there.

"jingle--"

The crisp ringing of bells came from a distance again. It seems that there is air after the water in the pool recedes, so the sound of distant bells can also be heard, but there is no wind blowing in this tunnel, so where are those bells? ?What was it blowing again?

Shen Ye took off his diving suit neatly, and the moment he took off the hood, he was sure that there was air here, but it just smelled like dust.

Before Shen Ye could wake up the others, Le Wuyi who was lying beside him finally woke up first.

"Hmm..." Le Wuyi moved his arm first, and then "hissed" again. The way he stood up rubbing his head clearly indicated that his head had been hit hard.

It's just that when Le Wuyi stood still and saw the expressionless face of his grand master, no matter how chaotic his head was, he woke up: "Mrs.... Grand master!"

The tense appearance of slurred speech, as always, made people feel helpless.

This joy is no different, when can we be more serious?

After the joy was no different, Huang Jue and others also woke up one by one, took off their diving suits and rearranged into a team, and those who didn't wake up would be woken up by their companions, so the efficiency was naturally high.

"Mr. Shen." Huang Jue shook his dizzy head, before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a woman's singing wafting over.

"Qingsi is... a cage..."

Everyone was taken aback, and all looked towards the front of the corridor, only Shen Ye frowned as if thinking.

The woman's melodious tune, accompanied by the guqin, is still sung: "Cinnamon branches are the cage hook..." The sadness is tactful and touching.

If it was on an ordinary stage, presumably the lingering tunes would have won a lot of applause, but when they heard a woman singing in a place that was obviously a tomb, then everyone had only one thought: a corpse/Damn it!

Le Wuyi swallowed, and looked at Shen Ye uncertainly: "Well, Grand Master..." Meowed, how beautiful this song is, how scary it sounds, right?

Shen Ye just looked at the front of the corridor, it was pitch black, stretching to nowhere.The singing voice was still melodious and melodious, and it was unknown where the woman was singing.

"Dingling——" suddenly the sound of the bell rang again, making everyone startled, and then, the singing stopped abruptly, and everyone was still surprised, so they heard the sound of the bell suddenly overwhelm the sky, " Dingling——!" "Dingling——!" "Dingling——!" It became more and more urgent and dense, like thousands of bells ringing together, rolling like waves.

Before everyone could wake up from this weird situation, Shen Ye said to Le Wuyi, "Give me the flashlight."

Although Le Wuyi was startled by the sound of the bell next to his ear, he still took out the wolf-eye flashlight steadily.

Shen Ye accepted it expressionlessly, and the moment he turned on the flashlight, the scene in the distance came into view.

Layers of copper bells are arranged densely without gaps on the top, walls, and aisles. "Dingling—!"As the sound became tighter, the copper bells rose and fell more rapidly, just...

"...how do they move?"

There is no wind, no people, and the overwhelming copper bells are making their own sounds.
