Chapter 251 (1/2)
Three days had passed
Ghost Li who have been keeping vigil in Ghost King's stone residence, his countenance had changed from the initial calm and indifference to uneasiness and then anxiousness, and noas already full of frustration and i period of time would be needed to study this exceptional astrolabe but he never expected that it would take three days and the crucial point was, although three days had passed but Mr Ghost see to his initial thought, when Mr Ghost first encountered this astrolabe, he triggered the change in it, by right he should be eable about this treasure and it would not be that difficult to coenuity after a few days of study But who knows in those three days, as he kept vigil beside Mr Ghost, saw hi this treasure back and forth, not only constantly looking at it, Ghost Li even felt that Mr Ghost wascubes
However, Mr Ghost seemed to be in a dile this treasure, Mr Ghost ress
Ghost King residence was er than the other stone rooer room here Mr Ghost and Ghost Li were in, the inner sh he was not in but in these three days, both of them did not step into the inner roohts, even if it was ten days and nights without sleeping, they could also sustain well
However, the '
For three days, Ghost Li never left this room, Xiao Hui naturally also stayed here too but due to its restlessfor Xiao Hui But right now Ghost Li and Mr Ghost were still staring at that astrolabe and couldn't be bothered about Xiao Hui
Xiao Hui scurried here and there in the room, in those three days it had already checked out every corner, right now it leapt up onto the big study desk often used by Ghost King, no one in the sect dared to do that but right now the oas far away, nobody stopped it
Xiao Hui being bored, onetable, the next moment climbed up, the next moment danced, the next moment lay doith its belly exposed, until the last, afterall being too bored alone, it aardly sat up, kept scratching its head, itsfor things to play
The rooaze went to the inner room Xiao Hui turned its head around and looked at Ghost Li, saw his sooodthe astrolabe in his hands, occasionally looking up, glanced up at Ghost Li and again looked back
The two of them clearly had all their attention on the astrolabe, even if they had a little more alertness, at most they only looked at the other party, nobody had the least concern about the ed its shoulder, pursued its lips, [zhi zhi] twice, swished its tail twice and turned around, glanced at that inner room and then jumped down from the table, sloalked over
The furnishi+ngs in Ghost King's residence were not luxurious, instead it was extremely simple, evidently the owner of this place did not care for the secular luxury, the outer room was like this, the inner room too: a wooden bed, a round table, three round stools, four calligraphy paintings on the walls, the first was landscape, faint ink in white, a secular feeling; the second was a painting in spring, birds flying up to the flowers, full of spring: the third was a tiger crouching in the grasses, a different feeling fro, its stance powerful, clearly looking at the world with a dolare
Xiao Hui naturally did not understand the paintings, they looked no different froer looked lifelike, Xiao Hui was shocked initially upon looking at it and then quickly got over it, grinning at the tiger and made a funny face, with a [pei] spat so in a row on the inner roos conveyed different lance they see against these three paintings, on the other side of the wall, was a solitary painting
There was no landscape in the painting nor any flowers or birds, it was a beautiful lady, and this was a , extres, all extrenified beauty, involuntarily evoking a feeling of adoration fro in the world
But a rare painting to the humans, to the monkey's three eyes, obviously it would be veryer painting
Not knowing to thelooked like, or maybe a few ure that the ht now to Xiao Hui, it was still that tiger painting which mattered to it most, its three eyes blinked, leapt to the floor where the painting was hung on the wall above and looked up, the tiger had a co skill was not aer al at the sky, thousands of ani tiain, saw that both of them were blocked by the stone walls, couldn't look directly in, and after such a long time there was no movement outside, clearly both of them did not notice Xiao Hui's movements
The monkey turned back, scratched its head, the next moment, it seemed to s were hung up high, there was nothing below that it could use to climb up, for a normal monkey it would not be able to reach it but Xiao Hui was not an ordinary monkey, with such a jus, its
Just that the draas rather long, following its descent, it slipped out and with a [pa] sound, dropped onto the floor
Though this sound was not loud but the two exceptional figures outside, immediately were alerted, after a ht puzzlement called out, “Xiao Hui?”
[Suo suo, suo suo…]
Follohich a strange series of dragging sounds were heard, under the stares of Ghost Li and Mr Ghost, thea painting, a big portion of it was dragged on the ground, from the inner room to where Ghost Li was
Both of thehtly, ran before Ghost Li and then [zhi zhi zhi zhi] unceasingly
Ghost Li frowned, took over the paintings, opened it, saw the exceptional workrasses, the strokes bold and vigorous, he assessed it with a few glances, looked at Xiao Hui, said, “Why did you take this painting for?”
Xiao Hui ju, its expression extree painting in the air, the nextMr Ghost atching froe and had vast experience but towards the , full of bewilderment, he could only turn and look at Ghost Li
Who knew Ghost Li was also looking rather stunned too, watched Xiao Hui's actions and unceasing [zhi zhi] sounds, Ghost Li glanced at the painting again, hesitated again and said, “Youdon't telllooked very ift it to Big Huang later?”
Xiao Hui ih was not in a good er was lifelike and its derasses, it was still awe-inspiring, how could it coh had a fine coat of fur but was extrereedy? And furthermore, to Ghost Li, he really couldn't tell which part of the ferocious tiger exactly was si
Seemed like the monkey's taste was really different fro taken aback and finding it ridiculous, Ghost Li re which was thousand of miles away, after a moment, with a faint smile at his lips, his expression also softened, quietly said, “This painting belongs to the Ghost King, we can't take this away now but don't worry, next tiently rolled up the painting and placed it aside
Mr Ghost couldn't help but ask, “ Who is Big Huang?”
Ghost Li paused and then indifferently looked at Mr Ghost, said, “A dog”
Mr Ghost stunned, for a h, did not ask anymore and looked back at the astrolabe Ghost Li patted Xiao Hui, softly gave a few instructions, nothing more than to instruct it not to run around and then turned back to the astrolabe, afterall, studying the astrolabe was then the i
Xiao Hui sat beside theain, actually it could not be blamed, whoever it was that had to be with the the saain, would also be frustrated, what's more a restless monkey?
By now, Mr Ghost see tiny cubes and said, “I see that the crux of this treasure, is these tiny cubes in orbit” Ghost Li slowly nodded, evidently also agreeing but he slowly frowned, said, “But we have been looking at it for three days and still can't tell how these cubes are able to orbit by itself, not sure if mister has any brilliant idea?”
Mr Ghost was silent for a ht that, the cubes' trajectories, are similar to the stars movements”
Ghost Li's body shook and then stared intently at the astrolabe, after a long time, clapped said, “It really makes sense”
Mr Ghost said, “Actually I am not sure too but I feel that it is indeed so, just that though these cubes trajectories are following the stars but it still contain many undiscovered mysteries, I think, to comprehend the crux of this treasure, it will be these ancient characters on the cubes”
Ghost Li nodded slowly Both of theain their attention devoted to the astrolabe, Xiao Hui sat beside theain started to leave
In the stone roo softly from time to tiain it quietly sneaked into the other roo was pulled down by Xiao Hui, a few ht colour difference fro had been there for some time already Just that in this roos, there was only the wooden bed and table and chairs, and nothing else interesting Xiao Hui checked around and soon was bored again
Just when it was at its extreme point of boredo and then jumped successively, its entire body suddenly ju's bed, without any concern if it dirtied the bed or covers, it rolled and jus were si was also so if he saw this when he coht now Xiao Hui did not care about that, right now nobody was bothering it, it happily ju at the corner of the bed, the entire bed shook
Follohich, the stone wall beside the bed, silently opened up a big crack and then retreated to both sides, revealing a big hole which one person could enter
Xiao Hui, who already sensed soround and suspiciously looked, until the wall silently revealed a secret door, it then slowly stood up, glanced at the door, only saw that it was in darkness, unable to see anything but nothing like ferocious animals ran out too, and thethe boredit
Xiao Hui scratched its head, glanced back, in the outer rooain went into silence, see day to study the astrolabe, the three-eyed rinned, htly leapt, tunneled into the dark hole, the next moment disappeared into the darkness
An indistinct wind, lightly blew fro a faint solden light glilow, under this golden light, the darkness in the hole seemed to recede a little
A tunnel which could only allow one person to traverse,it difficult for one to pass but for aadventurous, walked for a while in the tunnel and felt the ground depressed, the tunnel was heading doards
On both sides of the stone walls, as it gradually descended, the walls started to appear da down in the darkness In the silence, Xiao Hui's figure sloalked ahead, at tie faint smell of blood blew fro doas not steep but was quite long, Xiao Hui walked for a long ti deep down into the mountain And at this moment, Xiao Hui suddenly stopped, at soloas seen
The monkey stood in the tunnel for a while, seelanced back at the path behind it, scratched it head, seemed hesitant whether to turn back and infor it, the light flickering
Finally, after calling out twice, thethe red light nearer and nearer, the blood stench in the tunnel turned thicker, Xiao Hui's expression became nervous, stuck its nose out and sniffed, hesitation in its eyes But looking at the red light which was just ahead, it still ht was before it, this was another entrance in this tunnel, Xiao Hui peered around it, with a leapt jumped out, the next moment it was already in another tunnel much wider than the tunnel before it
Other than the tunnel that Xiao Hui ca to it, just beside Xiao Hui, but it was also dark, not knohere it led to
And on the other side of the tunnel, was rather bright, especially the red light at the end of the tunnel constantly flickering, seemed like this hat Xiao Hui had saw from afar
The tunnel was still eht flickered, there was no other sound
Xiao Hui sniffed the air, the smell of blood seeaze froze, on the tunnel entrance where it had just entered, on the dark walls, it had turned dark red, and where the water droplets were, in the light, it was extremely red, like blood
One drop, one drop, slowly dripping!
Xiao Hui's golden light at its forehead gradually lit up, after watching that blood droplet, it slowly turned back, watched the flickering right for a while before ittowards that direction
