A somewhat empty great hall, everywhere one looked were sparkling night pearls, they came from the same place as Cha Wenbin, only a layer of dust in front, without leaving any footprints of predecessors.
This is a place where no one has ever come, the huge stone pillars and dazzling night pearls make people's hearts palpitate. What's here is not only wealth, but also the power and glory that leaves people in awe.
Like jade, the night pearls emitted a fatal temptation. Chaozi understood that any one of these beads could be exchanged for a huge mansion if taken out. He looked up at the pillar and thought about how to quickly climb up and pick some down, which would be much faster than doing antique business.
"Blind man, look, aren't we about to take off?"
"My intention is that it's best not to move, this place is very strange, Wenbin brother is not here, the top priority is to find someone first."
Everyone has a greedy heart, only big or small, they are just ordinary people, not gods who don't eat human fireworks. Moreover, as the old saying goes: with money, even ghosts can push mills, let alone humans entering a hall of countless wealth.
If Chao Tzu could listen to advice, there wouldn't be only one person in the world who can tame him, Cha Wenbin. The good craftsmanship of a detective didn't fall behind, that thick pillar as big as a man's arm span, he had a dagger in his mouth, and he climbed up with a swoosh, just like a monkey, no matter how Chao Hsiung tried to stop him, he wouldn't listen, and insisted on taking down one or two pieces.
He climbed to the top and tied himself to the pillar with a rope around his waist, freeing up both hands.
This night pearl was inlaid, and Chaozi had to use a dagger to pry it out. But this thing wasn't as easy to remove as he had imagined. After fiddling with it for half the day, he only managed to get a small piece of it off.
Chao Tzu climbed up the pillar, shining a strong flashlight on the pearl, and found that the light inside the pearl actually had a walking phenomenon, very bright and shiny, as if there was a living thing inside. He immediately got down from the pillar and told Chuo Hsiung about this discovery.
Chaozi pinched the white, warm and smooth jade bead, about the size of a chicken egg, and said to Zhuo Xiong: "This bead doesn't seem like an ordinary night pearl. I've seen something like it in the provincial museum before. The material isn't fluorite either...I think it might be Qilian jade, but Qilian jade itself doesn't glow. If Old Wang were here, he'd probably be able to figure out its secret."
As soon as he mentioned Old Wang, Zhuo Xiong's heart tightened involuntarily. For some reason, he felt that something had happened between him and Old Wang before, but he just couldn't remember what it was.
Zhuo Xiongsheng feared that Chu Zi's actions would lead to unexpected consequences, so he hastily said: "I don't understand this thing, why not take it back and study it again? Let's go inside and take a look."
The foot took a small step forward, but the top of the head underwent sudden changes, and these changes were soon reflected on people's faces.
Zhuo Xiong was about to discuss with Chao Zi how to find someone, but then he took a look and felt something was off: "Chao Zi, why has your face turned green?" He looked again at the left side, and even Da Shan's hair had a hint of green glow. "What's going on with you two? You've both turned green!"
It wasn't just the two of them that turned green, soon the entire world became green, hair, face, clothes, even the ground under their feet turned green. Unbeknownst to them, the night pearls that were once white had quietly turned green. These greens weren't fixed, but kept flashing and wandering, with countless green dots dyeing this winter into a vast expanse of dark green.
What changed wasn't just these things, but also the atmosphere, that eerie feeling from the bottom of one's heart. Green light had always been a symbol of that thing, and the underworld was often depicted in this color. Subconsciously, the three people formed a triangular formation with their backs to each other, and when Zhuo Xiong looked down, he saw that Chao Zi's pocket was especially green.
He lowered his voice and asked: "What's in your pocket?"
"There's nothing in it, oh wait, just that piece of rock from earlier."
"Look what's happened! I told you not to move, but you had to move, now take a look at your own pocket."
Chaozi reached out and touched it, good guy, the night pearl that was still clean and warm just now had turned into a greenish-green bead in the blink of an eye, and it was flashing. It seemed like there was a green thing swimming around inside the bead. He looked up at the ceiling again, and it dawned on him that this green color was probably caused by this bead.
"Hey, don't scare me! It's just a broken stone, do you need to change your face so quickly!" As he spoke, Chaozi was about to throw away this somewhat strange night pearl, but heard a voice coming: "Halt, don't move that pearl!"
This is Za Wenbin's voice, which makes them a little overjoyed, and this is completely beyond their expectation.
"Wen Bin ge, where are you?" Chaozi shouted loudly, and the empty hall echoed with waves of echoes.
After a while, Cha Wenbin's voice came again: "I don't know where I am either, but I can see you. This sentence is unclear. The beads in your hand are souls, and these beads are arranged according to the celestial stars. If you move, you will break his formation, and these dead souls will wake up. Someone sealed countless dead souls in these beads. If they come out, even Da Luo Jinxian can't save you!"
As soon as Chaozi heard Cha Wenbin's words, his heart suddenly cooled down, and he blamed himself for being greedy for a moment, causing such a big trouble. He hurriedly asked again: "What should we do now?"
"Since ancient times, once the formation is activated, it cannot be closed again. Even if you return the pearl now, it will be of no use. I feel that your current location is in the same place as me, but not in the same space. You continue to move forward, no matter what, don't look back, and there should be a door ahead. I am inside that door..."
At this point, Zha Wenbin's voice stopped, no matter how they shouted, no one answered again. After waiting for a long time, it was probably lost contact again. However, hearing his voice could at least determine that Zha Wenbin is still alive, which was the most important thing for them.
Dashi thought of getting up and leaving, but was stopped by Zhuo Xiong. Chaozi understood that Zhuo Xiong was a little afraid of being tricked. What if the voice wasn't Cha Wenbin, but rather someone intentionally luring them in? The consequences would be unbearable to think about.
Chaozi suddenly calmed down and said, "Let's move forward as he said. Whether it's Wenbin Ge himself or not, we seem to have no choice. If he really has the ability to create illusions with sound, then the three of us can't escape even if we want to."
Even the mountains feel a mysterious pressure bearing down on them, every step seems to be taken with difficulty. It feels like thousands of eyes are staring at you, ready to pounce and tear you apart at any moment. Unfortunately, there is still one more thing in Chaozi's bag, heaven knows when this egg will hatch into a vengeful spirit.
Ancient people believed that jade had spiritual properties, so through this special medium, its use in some supernatural aspects was quite widespread. Jade could easily summon spirits, and the Maoshan Sect, where Cao Wenbin belonged, used this method to exorcise those who were possessed. However, sealing a normal person's soul, which was originally meant for reincarnation, inside jade, and making such a big fuss about it, is unprecedented and unmatched in history.
They walked forward for over a hundred meters, and just as Cha Wenbin had said, another door appeared. The door was half-closed, allowing someone to easily slip inside. At this time, the sound of crying continued to come from behind them, and it was truly heart-wrenching. Moreover, there were various slaps on their shoulders, and someone was even touching their hair. It was as if someone was about to grab their legs to stop them from moving forward. Chaozi could even feel the thing in his pocket trembling restlessly.
They were being bullied so recklessly, yet unable to resist, because Cha Wenbin had said that they must never look back, and no one knew how many hands were behind their backs. Slowly, they began to feel icy fingers grasping their necks.
Chaozi suddenly pulled out the night pearl from his pocket and threw it at the back of his head, shouting "Run!"
The three of them almost burst in, flashing one after another through the door, and it was another vast hall with stars all over the sky, and another column after another, all of which seemed to be exactly the same as the previous one.
"What's this?" The three of us looked at each other, and for a moment, we were all at a loss for words. We had come from one place to another that was completely identical. Was this ancient person bored out of his mind or something, playing with abstractions here?
However, the sharp-eyed scouts soon discovered a difference, that is, there was one more thing in this hall. To be exact, it was a person.
A figure about three meters tall stood with his back to them, his hands raised upwards, and from the nape of his neck, it seemed that his head was also looking up at the sky.
Because the light here is quite gentle, it gives people a feeling of being in the clouds and mist. You can see it, but you can't see through it. The only thing that's clear is that person's figure is not ordinary. Ordinary people wouldn't have such a huge body.
"Excuse me, friend ahead, where is this place?" Chaozi asked tentatively, but unfortunately, no one replied.
Chaozi poked Dashan's arm and said: "Big guy, why don't you go take a look?"
Dai Shan received the instruction and walked over with big strides, he had never known what it meant to be afraid. Zhuo Xiong and Chao Zi waited anxiously on the spot, until Dai Shan reached behind the man's back, then shouted loudly: "Hey, I'm calling you!"
Dàshān's physique has already surpassed that of ordinary people by a lot. Standing together with this guy, he is also just a dwarf.
Seeing that guy still didn't react, Da Shan went around to the front of the person. Soon, a terrified cry came out, and this voice was from Da Shan. He forgot, forgot Wen Bin's reminder: never look back. As for what he saw, we'll talk about it next time!
