Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

The wind blows up from the depths of the canyon, forming a weak whirlwind due to the topography.The whirlwind rolled up the leaves, flowers and loose debris on the ground. Without enough strength, they flew into the air and scattered one after another.Looking along the direction of the wind flow, among the mountains, stands a towering spire that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

It is like a long gray nail, which cannot be seen clearly in the shrouded clouds and mist, only the highest point and the widest point can be seen, as if there is a circular platform on which shadowy figures can be seen.

Yu Zhou clapped his hands on the awning and looked into the distance, thinking, the platform on the top of the tower is so far from the ground, yet the shadow can still be seen.There seems to be a giant hiding in the tower.

This is their first sight after leaving Jiang Xiao's "birdcage" and entering the new "birdcage".

The moment he stepped into the new "birdcage", Yu Zhou immediately felt the oncoming humid air.

They stood on the mountain road, behind them was a towering mountain wall covered with green vines, and in front of them was a winding path covered with dense jungle.

Xu Qingyuan, who had been silent all this time, walked forward first, and neither Yu Zhou nor Liu Yingnian dared to speak to him.The crowd followed closely behind him, following the zigzag mountain road, and gradually went to the depths of the mountain.

And at any time, as long as you look up, you can see the weird tower among the mountains.

The skeleton was holding the dried fish, and the dried fish was weak: "Grandpa, let me go."

It can't distinguish seniority, and it doesn't know how to call it a skeleton.The skeleton flicked its fish tail gently: "It seems that it is right to cling to you. I am also worried about what to do if I get separated from you after entering the door."

Yugan: "Don't dump Grandpa...I'm going to throw up."

It retched and retched loudly, frightening wild beasts like rabbits and deer in the jungle to run around.A small deer ran towards Yu Zhou with its eyes wide open. Fan Xing subconsciously pulled Yu Zhou behind him.

Everyone immediately stopped and looked at each other.Yu Zhou pinched Fan Xing's hand, Fan Xing pinched Liu Yingnian's cheek, Liu Yingnian didn't dare to move Xu Qingyuan, and turned to pat the skull on the shoulder.All people are entities.

Immediately afterwards, another rabbit ran past the crowd, and the skeleton raised his foot to step on it, and with a bang, the bone of his foot slammed heavily on the stone.

The rabbit passed through the bones of the skeleton's feet and burrowed into the bushes with great dexterity.

The voice of the skeleton was trembling with pain: "My bone is broken..."

It couldn't hold the dried fish, so the dried fish took advantage of the gap to escape back to Yu Zhou's side, hugged Yu Zhou's ear tightly and said loudly, "I understand, animals are not entities!"

Yu Zhou: "... Keep your voice down, I'm deaf."

Yugan: "Sorry, I'm a little excited to be back with you."

Xu Qingyuan touched the surrounding trees and protruding stones, and found that among the real objects, there were some virtual images that could be passed through by fingers.

"The virtual image was created by the cage master." Fan Xing understood, "Maybe there are only a hundred trees around us, but the cage master copied the virtual images of a thousand trees to form the forest around us."

Liu Yingnian pushed his glasses: "This, this is so interesting! Is the 'birdcage' on the upper floor like this? ... But why create virtual images? Xiao Shi, Al Jia and Fu Yuncong, they can create a real illusion, Can't this cage master work?"

Yugan snorted: "It's probably my brother or sister who has a bad brain."

Everyone continued to move forward, and after night fell, they finally saw the light of lights in the depths of the dense forest.

When you push aside the dense branches and leaves, you can see thousands of lanterns.

The lights illuminated the dark streets, and people wore all kinds of clothes, with strange and different skin colors, as if they were going to a lively and grand temple fair.

A young man with bear ears held a gong and beat it: "Look, look, look, those who have money will hold a money market, and those who have no money will hold a personal market."It's a serious northeast accent.

The two bunny-faced girls wore long, fluffy skirts, and Liu Yingnian recognized them: "Hanfu!" The two bunnies were startled, their ears stood up, their red eyes stared at them for a long time, and finally fell on the skeleton.The two of them couldn't speak, they covered their eyes laughing and ran away.

Before the skeleton could speak, Yugan yelled at the rabbit girls first: "What are you doing! You are ugly, so you can't laugh in front of your face! Are you polite?"

Going forward, those who guess lantern riddles, those who sell stickers, those who set up a stage to sing operas, what should be there and what should not be, all appear here.A slender monster, wearing a neat suit, carrying a TV set on his shoulder, obviously not plugged in, but playing cartoons with a strange accent.A group of strangely shaped children chased after it, some shouted "slow down", some said puff li, and some Yu Zhou couldn't understand how to pronounce it at all. In short, they probably all begged it to walk slower.The monster stopped, squatted down, and the children fell silent, watching cartoons around it.

Several old women bowed their waists, their ears were covered with gemstone earrings, and they walked slowly in front of them as if they were moving.Yu Zhou took a closer look and found that these people had more than two ears.

The streets are long and lively, and the houses are also of strange shapes. There are cornices and palace walls that Yu Zhou is familiar with, forming a small courtyard.

There is also a circular house made of leaves and wood. The owner fluttered his two big wings and said angrily: "Don't light a fire in front of my house! No!" The young man who was scolded by her was carrying a few lanterns, and he was neat and beautiful. , like a human being, when he opened his mouth to speak, his whole face split open, revealing a timid red tongue.

The deeper he went, the more surprised Yu Zhou became.This place and this scene were like a strange dream, and he couldn't figure it out.

Turning around and wanting to say a few words to Fan Xing and the others, Liu Yingnian looked around: "Where are Comrade Ku and dried fish?"

Comrade Ku and Yugan were intercepted by Rabbit and Cat Girl.

Rabbits and cats turned into spirits one by one, but unfortunately they still had animal faces on them. Yu Gan felt extremely regretful: "It's not good enough."

The skeleton completely disagrees with it: "It's so beautiful! It's a masterpiece of creation! You see, their neck bones and sternum are completely in human form, only the skull retains the form of animals..."

Yugan became angry: "Then you say I'm ugly?!"

Skull: "You are ugly now, but you look good in the form of fish head man."

He spoke so sincerely that the brainless Yugan couldn't tell the truth from the fake, muttering and shaking.

There are many grotesque people here, but skeletons like skeletons are rare.The people who surrounded it surrounded it, with three floors inside and three floors outside.The skeleton stood obediently and watched, sighing to Yugan in a low voice from time to time: "Once a person is perfect, even the skeleton is very popular. Probably this is fate. Someone is born, and he has to bear the fate of being appreciated anytime, anywhere .”

Dried fish heard various people talking about it: it’s so strange; it’s so funny; where did it come from?It also carries a bone fish.

Yugan: "...Obviously he admires me."

When Yu Zhou found them, the skeleton's wrist bones, ribs and even leg bones were all tied with small things of different designs and colors.It seems to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded and groomed by everyone, and the tone of its speech becomes cheerful and light.He held a pile of purple-red-gold orange fruits in both hands, all of which were gifts from people.Each of the four fins of the dried fish carried a fruit, and immediately put it into Yu Zhou's hand as if offering a treasure: "This is delicious."

Those who were tired from walking sat on the stone steps and ate fruit.The fruit was slightly sour and tasted good. A human girl walked by them and looked at them strangely.Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "Is there any problem with this fruit?"

The girl smiled and said, "The fruit is fine, I think you are unfamiliar. A new human adventurer?"

Yu Zhou nodded.The girl's expression brightened: "Great!"

She jumped over with a happy face, recklessly, and knocked over a pot on the ground.Liu Yingnian helped her put the jar back up, and when the girl thanked her repeatedly, she knocked down two lanterns next door.

The cat head selling lanterns was so angry that the girl couldn't stop apologizing.After finally sitting beside Yu Zhou and the others, before he could speak, the owl selling lanterns suddenly shouted loudly.There was another kitten at his stall, five or six years old, choked on something, turned blue, and rolled on the ground.

Liu Yingnian immediately jumped up, rushed over and picked up the child from behind, put his hands around the child's abdomen, and squeezed the child's upper abdomen until the child coughed up half of the fruit.

The cat-headed man was terrified, hugged the child, thanked Liu Yingnian, almost knelt down and kowtowed.

On the contrary, Liu Yingnian was embarrassed: "Yes, it's nothing." He returned to Yu Zhou's side like a breeze, sat down next to him, and whispered: "That's an exaggeration."

Yu Zhou: "You saved someone's child, of course I have to thank you very much."

Liu Yingnian: "Didn't Jiang Xiao say that people living in the 'birdcage' have a different concept of life and death than us? Anyway, after death, they will always be resurrected, so why be so nervous."

The girl blinked: "Will be resurrected? Who said that?"

Yu Zhou: "...'Birdcage', aren't they all like this?"

The girl smiled: "That's the 'birdcage' you've been to before. Here, adventurers are dead when they die, and they won't come back to life."

Yu Zhou was shocked.He looked at the bustling night temple fair in front of him. Wherever his eyes passed, there were lives of different races. "You mean...they are all, living adventurers?" Yu Zhou couldn't believe it, "Adventurers who entered this 'birdcage' from various time and space?"

Girl: "Yes, me too. I have been in the 'birdcage' for many years, and I came here about a year ago. But there is no danger here, and everyone can live as they like."

She called herself Xiaoyou, and wore a wide hat. In the dark night, Yu Zhou couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice was happy and crisp. "How come you don't know?" Xiaoyou pointed to the sky, "Didn't you come from above?"

What she pointed at was the strange giant tower standing among the mountains.

Fan Xing: "Where is that place?"

Xiao You didn't hide it at all: "It's the immortal's residence." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, she smiled: "That's where the cage master is."

Fan Xing: "I understand. When you arrived at the 'Birdcage', you were on it. After the owner of the cage gave permission, you landed on the ground."

Xiaoyou stopped talking.Fan Xing refused to answer her question, she felt the vigilance of the new adventurers in front of her.She stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "Why don't you come with me first, I'll show you something interesting."

No one moved - except the skeleton.

"Okay!" The skeleton stood up immediately, and patted the dust on his butt that didn't matter whether it existed or not. "I like interesting things the most."

Xiaoyou: "Is it just you?" She was a little disappointed, "It's okay. Let's go."

"Ku, Comrade Ku!" Liu Yingnian called it in a low voice, but the skull didn't return.

Fan Xing: "What's the point of bringing it here? It's too screwy, so I might as well dismantle it."

Under Yu Zhou's signal, Yu Gan reluctantly followed behind quietly.About half an hour later, Yugan rushed back like crazy: "Come here! There is something very amazing! ... It's not a thing! Anyway, it's something you haven't seen before! Absolutely nothing!"

Surprised and frightened at the same time, it led Yu Zhou and the others through the streets and alleys, turned into a dark corner, and opened a dusty door from the corner, allowing them to enter the dilapidated house.

"...What exactly did you see?" The more Yu Zhou walked, the more he felt that something was wrong with this place.After passing through the broken house, they were already standing in the dark mountain road.Xiaoyou and Skull were holding lanterns in front of them, waving at them.

"There are dragons in the mountains." Gan Yu lay on Yu Zhou's ear, whispering in a mysterious tone and at a volume that everyone could hear, "A real dragon!"

After Yugan yelled, "He is ugly, you can't laugh in front of him! Are you polite?" After that, he was very proud and grinned strangely.

Skull: Yugan, thank you for speaking for me.

Yugan was embarrassed: ... huh?That...uh...you're welcome, between me and you, right?

Skull: Even though I am ugly, I can still speak up for me, Yuyu, you are so kind.

Yugan was so angry that the performance fell apart on the spot.
