"Didn't I just talk casually? Why did you say you were so angry?"
Seeing that I seemed really angry, the little Taoist priest hurriedly said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll go over and see you first, just wait for me behind!"
To be honest, I don’t know what’s going on right now. I really can’t figure out how these things appear in my mind.
So after hesitating for a while, I still said to the little Taoist priest.
"What are you talking about? The two of us came together, so of course we have to go together!"
"Then be careful and follow me. If we find something wrong, we will retreat immediately!"
I turned my head and glanced at the little Taoist priest, and then said seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense, keep grinding and it will be dawn!"
The little Taoist priest kept urging me while looking at the surrounding situation.
Although I swear I have never been to this place, I don't know why, but there is a voice in my heart that keeps telling me that there doesn't seem to be any danger up here.
Moreover, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be something on it that seemed very important to me.
But I can't tell you what it is.
I was a little scared at first, but after taking a few dozen steps, I felt calmer.
After walking along the stone steps to Yunming Terrace, I realized that the damage to this thing seemed to be far more serious than what we saw.
In many places, you can already see the clouds and mist under your feet through the cracks.
Fortunately, there is a beam of light above the head, so there is no need to worry about lighting issues here.
However, the two of us were still extremely careful when walking. After all, if we accidentally took a wrong step, we would be truly doomed.
Following the weird route in my memory, I came to the middle of Yunming Terrace.
"What's this?"
As he walked, the little Taoist priest suddenly pointed to a stone platform in front of him.
Only then did I realize that there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.
The clothes on his body have long been torn into rags, and the bones on his body are all gray. It seems that this thing must have been here for at least a thousand years.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become this virtuous.
"Why do I think this thing looks familiar..."
Although the original appearance of this skeleton can no longer be seen, I don’t know why, but looking at the weird posture he put in, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
"Hey, hey, I said, why are you crying?"
Small yes
The Taoist priest suddenly turned his head and said to me.
"I don't even know why I'm crying..."
"I said you must have hit someone evil, right?"
The little Taoist priest looked at me with a strange expression.
"I……"
I really don't know what I should say. I really wanted to refute him, but this series of things really made it impossible for me to say anything more.
"This skeleton seems to have something in its hand!"
Fortunately, the little Taoist priest did not continue to ask questions. After walking around the stone platform, he suddenly pointed at the left hand of the skeleton and said.
"do not move!"
When the little Taoist priest was about to reach out for it, I quickly stopped him, and then pointed in the direction of his feet.
After hearing what I said, the little Taoist priest subconsciously stopped where he was. After taking a look at the situation under his feet, he swallowed hard and immediately took a step back.
Just where he stood just now, a crack half a foot wide was clearly visible, and one end of the crack had reached the bottom of the stone platform.
"I come!"
"Um!"
The little Taoist priest nodded, and then carefully came to the position behind me.
After carefully observing the surroundings, I slowly stepped onto the stone platform.
Seeing that the crack didn't show any signs of getting bigger, I breathed a sigh of relief and moved cautiously.
When I came to the skeleton, I bowed to the skeleton.
"Senior, my brothers and I came here by chance. We just want to reveal some doubts in our hearts. If there is any offense, please don't blame me, senior!"
I muttered a few words in a low voice, and then slowly stretched out my hand again.
What I didn't expect was that just as I stretched out my hand, the skeleton suddenly turned into a puddle of sand.
"this......"
Now it was my turn to be dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Don't be stunned. This skeleton is already thousands of years old. It's normal for it to turn into ashes!"
The little Taoist priest said quickly.
"Um!"
After hearing what he said, I still made sense. I didn't continue to delve deeper, and then I picked up a dark box among the ashes on the ground.
The box was covered with black rust, almost completely covering its original appearance.
However, I didn't care about studying here anymore. After putting the box in my pocket, and just as I was about to leave, I suddenly squatted down again.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing me squatting down suddenly, the little Taoist priest asked with some confusion.
"In any case, we have got his belongings, so let's take him out and bury him! After all, no matter what he did before, it is enough to stay here for a thousand years!"
After hearing what I said, the little Taoist priest didn't say much, he just nodded silently.
As a practitioner, the most important thing is cause and effect. Since we have received benefits from others, we should naturally return the favor to them.
"We only have this backpack left now. Please forgive me, senior, and wait until we get out to find a place for him to stay!"
The only thing that can hold ashes in my body now is this backpack, so I can only carefully put these ashes into the side bags of the backpack.
After placing the ashes, I carefully stepped off the stone platform.
"What do you think there might be in it? Let him carry it with him until he dies!"
After walking off the stone platform, the little Taoist priest looked at the box in my hand with some confusion.
"Open it and you will know!"
I just rolled my eyes at him and prepared to open the box.
But only then did I realize that this thing seemed to be a complete whole from top to bottom.
"This thing doesn't look like it's solid!"
The little Taoist priest was also stunned for a moment. He took the box from my hand and shook it a few times. Hearing the crashing sound inside the box, he also looked at me with confusion.
"Did you hear anything?"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a creepy voice.
"Ka-ka-ka-"
"Damn it! This place is going to collapse!"
The little Taoist priest also reacted immediately.
"Let's go!"
My scalp felt numb, and there was boundless cloud and mist under my feet. Who knows what is underneath this thing!
If this falls, even if it doesn't fall to death, I'm afraid it will be smashed to death!
