On the bottom floor of the mirage, in the dark cave.
Shao Yu, who was blind, followed Shi Lan step by step, walking slowly towards the direction of the light source.
Without the two of them knowing anything about it, the sound of the dragon's roar also passed through the many barriers and reached the bottom of the unknown depth, causing the two of them to stop and look around hurriedly.
Although nothing can be seen.
"Shaoyu, did you hear any strange noises?" Shi Lan turned her head and confirmed to her companions behind her.
Shao Yu nodded, "I heard it, it seemed to be coming from above... It sounded like the cry of some kind of creature."
Shi Lan's voice was filled with alertness and caution, and she responded, "This is the first time I've heard this kind of sound. It's really strange. It feels like..."
Speaking of the latter part, Shi Lan's tone was full of self-doubt, and she was a little unable to express her feelings.
Shaoyu said at this time, "Speaking of it, I feel a little familiar. It seems that I have heard similar sounds before. Let me think about it..."
"That's right! It's in the Mo family's forbidden area!"
"So that sound is... it's a dragon's roar!"
"Long Yin! Do you think so too!?" Shi Lan couldn't help but asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Huh?" Shao Yu was stunned when he heard this, "Why, Shi Lan, do you think this sound is a dragon's roar?"
Shi Lan nodded, "Yeah!"
"I don't know why, I... have an inexplicable feeling that this sound is the roar of a dragon."
Dragons are legendary existences, and Shi Lan has never seen such a mythical creature, let alone heard the roar of a dragon.
But as soon as she heard the sound, deep down in her heart she couldn't help but think it was the roar of a dragon.
How could this strange phenomenon not make her feel strange?
"Shaoyu, why do you think this is a dragon's roar?"
Unable to figure out his situation, Shi Lan decided to ask Shao Yu what was going on.
Shaoyu scratched his head and replied with a smile, "I am... I have heard similar sounds before, but the specific content is a long story. I will tell you in detail when it is safe."
"But I have a guess about this strange sound - maybe it has something to do with that boy Tianming!"
"Tianming?" Shi Lan asked strangely, "Why do you think so?"
"Hehe, it's just a feeling." Shaoyu replied, "But that boy's ability to cause trouble is indeed first-rate. If the sound is man-made, I guess it is probably related to him."
"Humph, I hope that boy doesn't make too big a mistake."
"Haha, can't you just miss him?" Shi Lan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"It's not that I don't wish him well, it's just that that kid is really good at making trouble." Shao Yu responded with a laugh.
"Anyway, no matter what happens above, let's move on, leave this hellish place, and then go find Tianming."
"Yes!" Shi Lan nodded and warned, "You must follow me closely."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely stay with you."
………………
Somewhere in an unknown space.
"Tianming!"
A crisp female voice sounded, and Tianming opened his eyes in confusion.
When he regained consciousness, he quickly turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from. He suddenly saw his good friend Qiantaki, whom he hadn't seen for many days, standing quite handsomely in front of him, carrying the person he was most familiar with.
A warm and healing smile.
"Qiantaki!" Tianming's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly. He rushed forward in a few steps, hugged Qiantaki and spun around in circles while continuing to shout, "It's really you! It's really you.
It is you!"
"It's me, it's me!" Chitaki responded with a helpless tone, "Don't get excited yet, put me down!"
"Oh, okay, okay!" Tianming then let go, gently put Qianlong down, then scratched his head in embarrassment and explained, "Qianlong, I suddenly saw you again, I'm so excited.
hey-hey……"
"Huh huh huh..." Qiantaki covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, not caring about Tianming's reckless behavior, "You are still so reckless, and you don't look where you are first."
"Hey, that's right!" After Qianlong's reminder, Tianming remembered this important issue.
Where are you now?
He remembered that he was clearly rescuing the boss's daughter in the Toad Palace before, but why did he feel so confused... that he changed places!?
And where is this place?
Tianming looked around and found that he was in a circular space. The roof was flat, and the entire circular wall was lined with doors. There were words written on each door. Unfortunately, the glyphs were basically unfamiliar to Tianming.
.
What a strange structure!
"Where is this, Qiantaki?" Tianming, who was confused, asked his friends.
Chitaki turned to look at the doors and shook his head, "I don't know where this is."
"I was resting in the room before, and I suddenly saw you for some reason."
"You were fighting with others. It was very dangerous. I wanted to save you, but then I lost consciousness... and when I woke up, I was here."
"But, I have a guess."
"Um?"
Before Tian Ming could ask for any guesses, a melodious and lively melody suddenly sounded all around. The doors in this circle slowly opened, and warm and dazzling sunlight came in, making Tian Ming squint his eyes.
Chitaki walked towards one of the doors, and Tianming quickly followed after seeing this.
After leaving the room, Tianming raised his hand to block the sun. After his eyes adjusted, he could see the outside world in full view.
The red sun was high in the sky, and under the sky there was nothing but sand and loess. As far as the eye could see, everything was desolate and desolate, lifeless.
Looking at the yellow sand all over the sky, Tianming felt a little dazed, feeling like he was back in the desert of the Western Regions.
When he came back to his senses a little, he looked around and realized that he seemed to be on top of a tall tower.
Chitaki's voice sounded at this moment, "I think we might be in... the Phantom Sound Treasure Box."
"Phantom Sound Treasure Box?" Tianming turned to look at Qianlong, wondering, "What is that?"
"A treasure box that can play many kinds of music melodies. When unfolded, it looks like a pagoda. It has five floors, and each floor has twelve windows." Chitaki briefly introduced the shape of the Phantom Treasure Box.
Exterior.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is why Chitaki has this speculation.
They couldn't see how many floors the tower beneath their feet had, but Chitaki had counted the number of doors before, exactly twelve, and the words on each door corresponded to the twelve laws.
Hearing this description, Tianming immediately remembered the extraordinary exquisite pagoda that had been placed in front of the girl's desk.
"I seem to have seen the Phantom Sound Treasure Box you mentioned, but...what I saw was obviously such a small thing!" Tianming stretched out his hand to show the size of the Phantom Sound Treasure Box in his impression, with a look of disbelief on his face.
How could we get into such a small tower, and... the situation outside is not right, why do I feel like I'm back in the Western Region?"
Looking at the extremely excited Tianming, Qianlong pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Tianming, listen to me."
"I suspect that we have entered the Phantom Sound Treasure Box, but we have not actually entered the treasure box."
"We now may be just consciousness, or souls, thoughts, etc. In short, we are not entities."
"It's not an entity?" Tianming pinched his arm subconsciously and muttered, "It's quite real, it doesn't look fake."
Chitaki smiled helplessly, "Of course you can't feel it. When you were under an illusion, could you tell it was a fake?"
"Uh... Okay." Tianming curled his lips, not daring to refute his goddess, but he still had to ask if he was confused, "But why?"
"According to what you said, we both had an out-of-body experience...or should we say that our consciousness was separated from the body?"
"Anyway, why is this happening? And why do we get into that small tower? What does the Phantom Sound Box do?"
A series of questions rushed out of Tianming's mouth, and it could be heard that he did have a lot of doubts now.
Chitaki spread his hands and pouted and replied, "I don't know either!"
"The Phantom Sound Box is very important. My mother has told me about it many times, but I have played with it since I was a child. Although it is very interesting, I really don't know what is so special about it."
"You... have you been playing with it since you were a child?" Tianming was even more confused when he heard it, and said in surprise, "But I obviously saw it at the Yinyang family!"
"Qiantaki, how did your things fall into their hands?"
"My father gave it to them not long ago. As for why... I don't know." Chitaki replied.
Qianlong's questions made Tianming a little anxious, but it was not easy to blame Qianlong for this. After all, others knew more than him.
And speaking of it, Chitaki might have been involved because she wanted to save him.
"Then...then do you know how to leave...or go back? There is no way down here, and it's not good to stay here forever." Tianming scratched his head and continued to ask helplessly.
As expected, Chitaki shook his head again.
"I have no idea."
"I am very familiar with the Phantom Sound Box, but the thousands of magic sounds played by the treasure box are all controlled by the star map, but I can't see any star map here at all, and I have no clue at all!"
"Then we are going to be stuck here forever?" Tianming was dumbfounded.
He's still rescuing people over there, so what's the point of being stuck here all the time?
And if a person is trapped, it’s easy to say. If it’s really a conscious soul or something like that, doesn’t it mean that in reality, he has no ability to resist at all?
The trouble would be even greater.
Chitaki shook his head, "We will definitely not stay here forever, maybe we will leave voluntarily after a while."
"Are you sure?" Tianming forced a smile and asked stiffly.
Chitaki shrugged, "Sure, even if we don't leave voluntarily, my mother will definitely rescue me when she comes back."
"That's right." Tian Ming nodded, then his face suddenly collapsed when he thought about it, "If that's the case, what should I do!?"
"Don't worry Tianming, I will definitely ask my mother to rescue you too." Qiantaki showed a relieved smile and reassured his friend.
When Tianming heard this, he immediately showed a silly smile, scratched his head and replied, "Qiantaki, you are the best...hehe!"
"Oh, by the way, I met your mother before, and she said you asked her to save me, so she came to me."
"Really?" Qiantaki didn't care much about his mother's meeting with Tianming and asked casually, "Did she tell you anything, like how to escape from here?"
"Well...she told me a lot of things and helped me a lot..."
Tianming responded slightly vaguely.
In fact, besides being the Riddler, Concubine Yan really didn't give him much help.
Even though she pointed out the location of the Toad Palace to him, if she didn't crush the Golden Crow, he wouldn't be able to find the Toad Palace in the morning.
But in front of Qiantaki, Tianming definitely couldn't speak like that - it's true that he is a bit naive, but he is not an idiot.
Tianming, who didn't plan to say more on this topic, quickly diverted Qiantaki's attention:
"By the way, Qiantaki, I also met Uncle Gu!"
"My father? He is also on the boat now?" Qiantaki was stunned. She didn't know this before.
If she knew, she wouldn't be so worried about Tianming's safety.
Regarding his old father, Chitaki will always believe that he can do anything as he did when he was a child.
"Then we won't have any trouble." After coming back to his senses, Chitaki immediately felt more at ease.
"Yes..." Tianming nodded, obviously agreeing with this view.
However, he was not completely relieved and was still worried.
His safety may be guaranteed, but what about the daughter of the wealthy boss?
By the time he comes out, won't everything be too late?
Then what's the point of being trapped in this tower after all this trouble!
Looking at Tianming with a grimace on his face, Qiantaki felt a little strange:
"Tianming, you seem to be worried about something, what's wrong?"
"I'm waiting to save someone, the boss's daughter!" Facing Qiantaki, Tianming had nothing to hide and answered truthfully.
"Big boss? Are you talking about the current tycoon of the Mo family? Does he have a daughter?" Although Tianming said half of it clearly, Qiantaki still roughly understood what he meant.
However, she had never heard that the current mysterious giant of the Mo family had any relatives.
"I didn't know before. Didn't I find out after I came to Mirage that he had a daughter imprisoned on the ship, and her life was still in danger, so I rushed to save people." Tianming replied, "The boss of the giant was captured by the Yin Yang family.
That bad woman with red hands killed her, now I must save his daughter!"
"The Mohist giant is dead!?" Qianlong was shocked.
During this time, she was either traveling with her mother or staying on the ship. She knew almost nothing about the outside world, so she never knew that Yan Dan had died in the city.
Tianming nodded and replied, "Well... the boss of the giant is dead. He died under the six soul terror curse of the Yin and Yang family. Before he died, he passed on all his martial arts to me, and the position of the giant of the Moh family was also passed on to me.
He killed me, so now I am the new mogul of the Mohist family."
"You have become the new giant of the Mo family!?" Qianlong covered her mouth and exclaimed with a rare loss of composure, "How many things have happened during this period!?"
She always felt that her little friend would have great potential, but she didn't expect that he would have such great potential and so soon... It felt a bit illogical.
Hearing the second half of Qiantaki's words, Tianming's desire to talk suddenly rose. He shook his head and sighed, "Qiantaki, too many things have happened since you left."
"That's right. Let me tell you everything one by one."
"First of all, the government city is gone, given to the big bad guy Wei Zhuang..."
Beside the guardrail of the tower, the young man who wanted to save people but had no choice but to do so began to describe to the girl the various events that had taken place during this period, and also poured out his inner pressure and fear.
The girl listened quietly, not only to understand the little friend's experience during this period, but also to comfort the little friend's tired soul in a wordless way.
