MTL - Beiyin Great Sage-Chapter 11 remains
Chapter 11 Ruins
The palace has long been dilapidated.
The grass is overgrown, the walls are broken, the wind is howling, and it is desolate.
The dome disappeared, the walls collapsed to the ground, and the corners were broken and weaved. Only the former solemnity can be vaguely seen from the ruins.
The palace does not occupy a large area, about dozens of square meters.
There should be a statue inside, but it has been scattered into countless stones, but there is a stone tablet standing in the middle intact.
The stele is two feet thick, three feet wide, and as tall as a person. There are countless tadpole-like characters on it.
This is a ruin.
I don’t know what it was used for.
"click..."
The two stepped into the palace cautiously, the strange noise under their feet made them bow their heads, and the things that caught their eyes made people feel chills.
Dry bones!
Corpse!
Broken clothes!
Corrupted armor!
It can be seen with the naked eye that the ash from the bones covered the entire hall, even reaching a depth of half a foot, and it is unknown how many living creatures were buried.
The rags were swaying in the ruins, and the wind could tear them to shreds. Obviously, they had lost their toughness after years of devastation.
"What is this place?" Chen Hui's complexion turned pale, and she subconsciously lowered her voice.
"Who knows?" Zhou Jia shook his head:
"Why don't you go out first?"
This place is eerie, and the bones are even more eerie. Not to mention Chen Hui, even a big man like him is terrified.
"Um."
Chen Hui had no objection, and the two backed away cautiously.
After a while.
The two men stood in a corner of the palace with gloomy faces.
They tried to leave, but the weird fog not only blocked the line of sight, but also allowed people to return to the original place unconsciously.
That is to say...
"can not go out!"
Chen Hui sat down on the ground with a look of decadence:
"Forget it, at least there are no monsters here, don't worry about being killed, if you can't get out, you can't get out."
She was quite open to it. As for the bones in the arena, they were nothing to her who had gone through these two days of accidents.
"Huh!" Zhou Jia hummed softly, his face ugly:
"Guess, how did the corpses and ashes here come from?"
"How did you come here?" Chen Hui asked subconsciously, then shrank her eyes and said in a trembling voice:
"It can't be... trapped here to death?"
Zhou Jia didn't say a word, but his attitude has already answered.
"Then what should I do?" Chen Hui stood up abruptly, gritted her teeth, turned and ran towards the fog behind:
"I will try again!"
Zhou Jia opened his mouth and shook his head lightly.
I don’t know how many dead bones are here, and the ashes can be piled up to be so shocking. The number of living things that died in this hall can be imagined.
So many living creatures failed to escape, why should they?
as predicted.
Chen Hui reappeared at the gate of the palace, her face was pale, her eyes were full of tears, her body was trembling, and she collapsed powerlessly on the ground.
"I don't want to die!"
"I...I don't want to die yet..."
"Woo... Mom and Dad... woo..."
She is only in her twenties, has just stepped out of college, and is full of hope for her future life. Death should be far, far away from her.
Now.
Suddenly changed, and finally couldn't bear it, the string in my heart was completely broken, and I hugged my legs and cried in confusion and helplessness.
"I don't want to either." Zhou Jia squatted on the ground, his eyes were also a little dazed, and he was not in the mood to comfort the other party. He also felt uncomfortable.
for a long time.
Zhou Jia took a deep breath, collected himself, and began to organize his things.
In addition to the ax, iron frame and other trophies, as a pathfinder, he also has a few bottles of water, some biscuits, and food.
In addition to the ones he brought, there are also those found from the corpses of Xiao Li and the others.
Put the things on the ground, silently calculated, even if you save money, these are only enough for two people to consume for three days.
Three days later,
Can only resist hard!
"Hey!"
Sighing, Zhou Jia got up and tried to see if he could go out.
The result is as expected.
Return to the hall again.
After crying, Chen Hui was exhausted and fell asleep. Zhou Jia didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he simply searched the hall.
The dome of the main hall is not there, two of the four walls collapsed, and the remaining two sides are incomplete, with some strange murals on them.
The style of the mural is different from the various inheritances on the earth, and it probably depicts a ritual of worshiping heaven.
There are all kinds of weird and strange beasts on it, some of which seem to exist in the legends of the earth, and more are Zhou Jia who has never heard of it.
There are still many things in the ruins.
The white bones have different shapes and sizes, obviously not from the same species. Most of the weapons are decayed, but they are relatively intact.
Some strange stones.
Compared with the physical body, these things are more able to withstand the passing of time.
The best preserved are hardwood shields.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the material or the time is too short, except for the loose part inside the grip, it’s almost intact.
"what?"
Among the many ashes, a cloth bag caught Zhou Jia's attention.
Pulling out the cloth bag from the ashes, a somewhat familiar pattern came into view:
"Nanyun University?"
This university is not far from where he works. Among them, the Department of Literature is the most famous, especially the study of ancient Chinese and language.
Look at this cloth bag, it seems to be a product of more than ten years ago, and it is still very strong.
Open it and look, there is a leather diary, a pen without ink, a few coins and a badge of a university professor inside.
"Old fellow!"
"Song Changjiu..."
The pages of the diary have been glued together, and the handwriting on it is also very vague, which can only be vaguely recognized, but it still makes Zhou Jia a little excited.
This shows that people have come here as early as more than ten years ago.
If you can get out, maybe you can find them.
but…
Looking back at the mist that covered the entire hall, Zhou Jia's complexion changed, and finally he sighed helplessly.
Professor Song obviously failed to escape.
"Clatter..."
Zhou Jia carefully opened the diary, which described what happened to Professor Song and his party after they fell into this world.
Encountered almost the same.
They all encountered a wolf-headed monster, and then came to this palace in a daze.
The difference is that Professor Song has a lot of food on his body, and he persisted here for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't change the ending.
Desperate, with only a few days left in his life, Professor Song became interested in the stone tablet in the field, trying to decipher the meaning of the words on it.
As a student of literary studies, Zhou Jia couldn't help being interested.
Anyway, I can't go out, so I might as well find something to do.
The characters on the stele are very different from those seen on the earth. There are one hundred and eight tadpole-like characters on it.
Every text has different details.
Professor Song put forward several ideas in his diary, among which astrology is the most likely, which Zhou Jia also agreed with.
But the specific word is still unknown.
The meaning to be expressed is even more unclear.
The second day.
Chen Hui didn't eat or drink, and sat blankly in a corner of the hall. After waking up, she ran towards the fog outside, trying again and again.
Every time, it ends in failure.
She sometimes cried, sometimes sobbed, and sometimes went mad.
The third day.
Chen Hui became more honest, with a dull expression, looking at the little water and biscuits in front of her, her eyes filled with despair.
During the period, Zhou Jia also tried.
Now he seems to have given up, holding an old notebook in his hand, gesticulating among the ashes, looking a little dazed.
Only immersed in it can he forget the fear of death.
Maybe,
The same is true for Professor Song back then.
"Hey!"
While meditating, Chen Hui's voice sounded behind her.
Zhou Jia came back to his senses, turned his head away, his face turned red, he hastily closed his eyes, and backed away again and again:
"what are you doing?"
He saw things he shouldn't have seen.
While nice to look at, it was against his will.
"Nothing." Chen Hui's voice was cold:
"I'm still a virgin. When I die, I don't want to... I haven't done it. Do you want to try it?"
"You're crazy!" Zhou Jia said angrily:
"You have a boyfriend, and I have a girlfriend. Put on your clothes quickly. If you catch a cold, there is no medicine for you here."
"Catch a cold?" Chen Hui sneered:
"It's this time, I'm still afraid of catching a cold?"
After finishing speaking, she rushed towards Zhou Jia, like a very hungry she wolf, tearing Zhou Jia's clothes frantically.
"You don't think about Dai Lei, do you? She's lost her body long ago. I... I haven't let Cheng Qi touch her. Now I'm taking advantage of you."
"I'm going to die, come on..."
"You're crazy!"
Zhou Jia exerted all his strength, pushed her away, retreated to a corner of the hall, turned his back and held the diary in his hand tightly, with a complicated expression:
"Calm down first, maybe... maybe we can still escape."
His heart was beating wildly, and his blood was surging.
An urge to turn around made his body tremble, his consciousness drifted like a fog, always falling to the ground from east to west.
Maybe…
It's nothing...is it?
I'm going to die anyway...
Rear.
Chen Hui's body was stiff, her outstretched hands were motionless, her expression was shy and annoyed, her silver teeth clenched tightly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Finally, he spoke bitterly:
"Beasts are worse!"
