The distance between the stone pillars is a bit far, and the one they are on is clearly the tallest one, standing out from the rest.
Hu Qing was just about to use his spiritual power to let the wind carry him and Su Shan. Su Shan had already picked up Hu Qing sideways with both hands and jumped from the top of this stone pillar to the top of the nearest stone pillar.
Hu whistled lightly and pressed his fingers on the powerful muscles under his clothes: "Handsome."
The corner of Su Shan's mouth curled up and he couldn't put it down. He jumped up high and landed on the third stone pillar. He then jumped up again, winding all the way down. When he jumped to the last stone pillar, his face was not red and angry.
Not panting.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Hu Qing would have made him blush and gasp.
Looking at the other stone pillars from the top of this stone pillar, especially the first stone pillar they came down from, they felt that the other stone pillar was unattainable.
And underneath this stone pillar, they could clearly see a huge stone turtle.
The two looked at each other, and Su Shan jumped onto Shi Gui's back with Hu Qing in his arms. Shi Gui felt the weight on his back, and his whole body swayed strangely, and then slowly began to move.
So, is this stone turtle here to greet people who come in from the stone pillar?
Two streams of consciousness probed into the stone turtle at the same time, and the internal structure was clearly visible. It was a real stone, a solid stone, and under the stone turtle's head was water.
Hu Qing: "Are we going to drift into the valley?"
I suppressed my voice unconsciously, as if there was an unknown danger sleeping in the darkness around me.
Su Shan: "Wansi Valley is very mysterious, and there are not many records in the clan."
After that, the two of them waited quietly for where Shi Gui would take them. Maybe Shi Gui was too slow, or maybe the road was too long. Hu Qing leaned on Su Shan and fell asleep, but Su Shan fell asleep no longer than Hu Qing.
.
Silk cloth: "Why don't you go out and take a look? You should at least protect Hu Qing, right?"
Ice Demon: "It's safe around here, otherwise they wouldn't fall asleep."
Silk cloth: "It's the biggest abnormality that Hu Qing can fall asleep. It's definitely not safe!"
Ice Demon: "There is a creature called Lao Mazi, and you look very much like it."
Silk cloth: "I——"
The scolding is very dirty, in my heart.
I don’t know how much time passed, but based on the speed of time in space, two full months later, the stone turtle stopped in a bright light.
Their eyes were warmed by the sun, and they both woke up at the same time. The grass was luxuriant, the blue waves were rippling, and the stone turtle was parked in a narrow area in the water that connected to the land.
The information intercepted by sight, smell, and hearing made Hu Qing think that this was a place like a peach blossom garden. The wind was blowing and the petals were falling all over.
Is this reality or an illusion?
She closed her eyes and smiled.
Su Shan: "What's wrong?"
Hu chuckled and sighed: "It's an illusion."
Su Shan:?
Hu Qing was even more helpless, and said to the large green plants growing on the land: "That plant is an ancient species, and their pollen has a strong hallucinogenic effect. This plant also has another characteristic - it is different from other plants."
Symbiotic with any plant.”
So, either these plants are fake, or other plants are fake, and Hu Qing is more likely to believe that they are all fake.
Hearing this, Su Shan threw out a stream of dragon flames to attack the plants Hu Qing mentioned. The golden dragon flames burned past, and the plants were burned into nothingness at an incredible speed, revealing the bare background below, which turned out to be water and sand.
Both of them were stunned. When the dragon flames burned everything around them, they were suddenly at the bottom of the sea. The stone turtles under their feet did not change.
The seabed was dark but also clean, the sand was still and settled with time, and the sea water was there around them but seemed to be nothing.
Hu Qing opened his mouth and took a bite, but he didn't get the sea water. He couldn't help but rub his eyes. Could it be that the sea water he saw in front of him was also false?
Su Shan: "According to clan records, the Valley of Silence exists between reality and reality. It is another space that does not belong to immortals and demons."
Some alternate dimensions are dependent on the main space, but Wansi Valley is not.
Hu Qing: "Now, what should we do?"
The stone turtle stopped moving. The bottom of the ocean was so vast that it was impossible to determine the direction. Where should they go?
Su Shan: "Just go with your intuition. You are very lucky."
The two slid down the stone turtle, Hu Qing chose a direction at will, and walked away side by side. The surrounding seawater did not cause any resistance to them, nor any push. It was as if the two sides were intersecting in different dimensions.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding scenes were monotonous and repetitive. Hu Qing suspected that they were going in circles, but Su Shan was sure that they had been moving forward. This was his intuition.
Hu Qing decided to trust his intuition and walked for a long time when a stone turtle came into view.
Hu Qing: "..."
Su Shan observed the stone turtle for a long time and was sure: "It's not the one we came here with."
Hu Qing: "So, what are these pure stones doing here? They must be stones. If the turtle is really petrified, there must be a hierarchical structure inside."
No, it's just solid stone inside.
I don’t even know how the stone turtle moves.
Hu Qing's heart moved. If it wasn't the stone turtle that was moving, then what was making the stone turtle move?
She immediately squatted down and dug under the stone turtle.
Su Shan understood and followed her to dig deeper.
The results of the digging were soon found, at a depth of about one meter. Hu Qing looked at the track laid underneath in shock.
Su Shan didn't recognize it at all: "What is this? It seems to be a very ordinary stone."
Hu Qing had a complicated look on his face: "Yes, it's very common. It's not used for cultivation. It's a metal used by mortals."
She stood up and touched the stone turtle: "It turns out it's magnetism. No wonder..."
Su Shan: "What?"
Hu Qing: "Lonet, an ordinary stone, has no use for cultivation, and it has no spiritual power or magic power in it."
She said: "Let's dig along the track and see where it leads."
The excavated sand is very stable, and you can see the ripples of the sea water, but not a single grain of sand is stirred up.
The two of them used magic to lift up a large area. When the sand was lifted up, it looked very light, but when it fell, it felt very heavy. It fell wherever it fell without even a single particle rolling.
This scene is very unsettling, as if these lifeless sands are also experiencing death.
Hu Qing whispered: "Wouldn't the devil be crazy to live in a place like this?"
Su Shan: "It's not the devil himself, it's the will of the devil. The will is very simple and can sleep."
So just fall asleep, close your eyes, and worry about what's going on outside the bed.
Hu Qing imagined it for a moment and shook his shoulders: "How pitiful. I will never let my will suffer this, and I will never part with my will to guard the cold kiln."
Shouhan kiln?
What does this mean?
So Hu Qing told him the story of Xue Baochai. Su Shan was puzzled after hearing this: "She comes from a good family and is talented, why should she live a hard life?"
Hu Qing was organizing his answer when he heard Su Shan say: "When you left me in the Demon Realm, I lived a good life and didn't make myself miserable."
Hu Qing: "..."
The boomerang is coming back.
She coughed: "The reasons are very complicated. Firstly, she broke up with her natal family, and women had no status at that time. Secondly, with the decline of class, she changed from a powerful person to a commoner, and her husband's family was already poor. In short, the social environment made her dependent on men.
She has to stick to it until the end, and she must be willing to do so."
Su Shan: "All the men have left. Is it because there is a family inheritance in the cold kiln that she keeps here?"
Hu Qing: "..."
Forget it, tell less stories about the mortal world from now on, it’s not a brain circuit at all.
She said: "She must have her own perseverance. If we are not the person involved, how would we know what she thinks? Just as I don't understand why the devil left his will and sealed it in such a place, as if torturing himself."
