To be exact, this piece of paper was a diagram. There were even some inscriptions on it called "Treasure Map".
In the center of the picture was a kneeling figure who looked exactly the same as me and had an aura that didn't match at all. Beside this person, there was another word: Atonement.
I looked at the picture and frowned, completely at a loss. What did that mean?
Little Tang Wei said to me: "Why are you on this map?"
I shook my head. "I didn't draw this. How would I know? I think it would be better if you ask Master Xue, since I think that it was Master Xue who did it. "
Xiao Miao thought for a while, then said to me: "I understand. This map meant that only you could find treasures. Look, there is a treasure map written on it. Kneeling here with a face full of sincerity, isn't that just asking for a favor? "
I grunted before sitting on the stone tablet and asking, "But …" "Where's the treasure?"
At this moment, everyone fell silent. A few minutes later, Little Tang Wei said to me: "Why don't you try asking me?"
I chose a place and knelt down before the stone tablet. I tried my best to match the movements in the diagram, trying my best to imitate his repentant expression.
We waited in silence for a while, but nothing happened in the surroundings. Not to mention treasures, not even a single piece of rock appeared.
Little Tang Wei said: "Don't kneel, I have written it clearly, what about asking you to atone for your sins?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "How can I atone for my sins? I've never done anything so outrageous in my life. "
Little Tang Wei urged him, "There is, there must be. Think about it carefully."
I had to sort out all the memories I had of my school-days, including my fights with my classmates. However, there was still no change.
Little Tang Wei stuffed the paper back into the stone box and said with a helpless expression, "There's nothing we can do, some of us here wanted to atone for our sins …"
Just as I was about to retort, my gaze suddenly falls on the Redemption Monument. At the very top of the stone monument, there were three large words written on it: Redemption Monument.
My heart stirred, and I said to Xiao Miao: "Give me the dagger."
I took the dagger and cut at the word 'atonement'.
When the dagger landed on the word, I knew that I had guessed correctly, because I could feel that the word below the word was empty. Sure enough, after about ten times, there was a hole on the stone tablet. There seemed to be something inside.
Little Tang Wei said excitedly: "So the mechanism is here."
The hole grew bigger and bigger. I stretched out my hand to dig and took out another stone box. Written on top of the stone box were a few words: Elementary 9 Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple's Disciple.
The Little Tang Wei said, "This is really meant for you. It's written with your name."
I said, "No matter what life it is, my birthday is on the ninth day. This really is for me. "
I put my hand on the stone box but didn't open it. I remembered that my reincarnation had come here due to various coincidences. Could it be that they had all been summoned out of the blue to look for this stone box?
They all failed, but I was the only one who took it out.
penitent monk also urged me: "Ninth day, quickly open the box."
I nodded and opened the stone box. Who knew that there was an even smaller stone box inside? A few words were written on it: Ai, this is my ninth time here. I don't know if there will be a next time.
I puzzledly said, "Master Xue came here nine times? penitent monk, do you know? "
penitent monk shook his head: "If this place was really set up by the Master Xue, then if he wanted to hide his whereabouts, no one should be able to find him."
I nodded and casually opened the stone box. Who knew that there was another stone box inside.
Little Tang Wei said, "This Master Xue is really interesting, layer after layer."
I took a closer look. There were words on the stone box as well. It said: Make those who have nothing to do back to a distance of 30 feet.
I showed the words to the others, who scratched their heads and backed away.
I opened the stone box again. Inside was a small box about the size of a fist. I took the box in my hand and looked at it. There was another line on it: Have you made up your mind?
Without even thinking about it, I opened the box.
This time, there was no longer any small box inside the box. Instead, there was a ball of air inside the box. This ball of air was partly white and partly black.
As I looked at it, there was no nervousness in me, as if there were some great secret that was about to be revealed to me.
Little Tang Wei asked me from afar: "Hu Chujiu, how many layers have you opened? Did you see any treasure at all? "
I whispered, "I saw it."
Little Tang Wei asked again, "What is it?"
I absent-mindedly replied, "I'm so angry."
The Little Tang Wei asked in bewilderment, "You call that a lump of air a treasure? This is too exaggerated. "
She walked over with large strides, as if she wanted to watch them. They seemed to sense the approach of the Little Tang Wei. They were a little scared and a little nervous, and then they rushed out of the box and entered my seven orifices in a moment.
My mind buzzed and my vision went black.
I couldn't see anything, but I could still feel it. My body swayed and I fell to the ground with a plop.
I did not touch the hard ground, because the Little Tang Wei held me up. I heard her call out my name in my ear, but the sound grew farther and farther away until I could no longer hear it.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and I shivered. Then I woke up and opened my eyes to find that I had returned to the human world.
No, I'm not sure if this is human or not. I was lying under the wall. It looked like a small town.
There were newly built roads and old houses in the city. From the looks of it, this place wasn't developing very quickly. However, it could be considered a modern city.
There was no one around, only the street lamps were lit. I can't even find a way to ask for directions.
The moon was cold and bright in the sky, and when the wind blew on me, I shivered so hard that I took a deep breath and felt a little pain in my nose. It was a cold winter.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door not far away. The sound travelled far in the silence of the night.
I couldn't help but walk that way, wanting to stop that person and ask him where he was, to see how far this place was from the Cypress City.
Soon, I saw that person, he was madly knocking on the door of a house.
When the lights in the yard came on, one of the men shouted in annoyance, "Knock knock knock, how about you rush your life?"
The person who knocked on the door replied, "If you don't open the door, I'll starve to death. If I starve to death, I'll take my life from you."
The person in the yard spat, "What the hell are you asking for? How can there be someone who eats in the middle of the night? You must be a starving ghost or something."
He opened the door.
The person in the yard opened the door, but placed his body at the door and said to the person outside, "I'll tell you, I won't sell anything at night. You can go."
The man said, "You don't care if you starve to death?"
The man in the yard said, "There is a new fast food restaurant in the city. It is open twenty-four hours a day. If you're hungry, go eat there. I specialize in selling breakfast. "
The person who knocked on the door said, "Boss, I've only heard of people recruiting customers, but I've never heard of people chasing customers out. You're really a bit weird, aren't you?"
Everyone in the courtyard was angered and laughed, "I've only heard about restaurants and restaurants in the past, but I've never heard about going to the boss's house to eat. This is not a place to eat, understand? "If you really want to eat, go to the roadside and wait for me tomorrow morning. I'll set up a stall and serve it to you first."
The person who knocked on the door said, "Look, there are only a few more hours until dawn. Can't you just treat me like I'm here to buy breakfast?"
The people in the courtyard were enraged. "What in the world are you doing? Why do I feel like you're sneaking around? Take off your hat and let me see your face. "
The person who knocked on the door took off his hat. Everyone in the yard was shocked. He whispered, "Why is it you? When did you get back? "
The person who knocked on the door said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about this. Let's eat first."
Then, with a flash, he entered the courtyard. The owner of the yard cautiously stuck his head out and looked outside. Then, he extended his hand to close the door.
I hastily ran over and whispered, "I also want to eat something."
The owner of the yard ignored me and let me in. Then he closed the door and locked it.
Inside the house did not turn on the light, but only lit the kerosene lamp. It was dark and he couldn't see much. Although my eyes were wide open, I didn't know what the two of them looked like.
I asked my boss, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
The owner answered absent-mindedly, "It's good to light the oil lamp without turning on the light at night. My heart is at ease."
I don't know why I feel reassured about lighting the oil lamp, but that's not my main concern. I asked the boss, "Where is this place?"
The boss didn't answer me. He walked up to the customer and said, "Do you need any more of those items?"
The customer nodded.
I had to sit down at the next table.
The boss went inside to busy himself. I raised my voice and said, "Hello. Let me ask, this place is..."
The guest flinched as he heard my voice, as if he was afraid I might have an infectious disease.
I'm a little hurt.
After a while, the boss brought the goods over. I looked up. A bowl of bean curd and two youtiao. This really was a breakfast combination.
I said to the boss, "May I ask, where is this place?"
The owner was stunned for a moment. "This is my home."
I scratched my head and muttered, "What the heck? You don't sound right."
I raised my voice. "What city is this?"
The boss was about to answer when the customer waved him over. After a few seconds, the boss came to my side and whispered, "Stop talking, my friend is weak, you can't make such a loud noise."
I thought: What can I do to you?
Perhaps out of habit, I looked at the foot of the guest. Then I saw that he had no shadow. This was not a living person.
