Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 51: Ring
Huang Hu stood in the rain with his head down and eyes closed. He was soaked all over.
Fingers clenched.
There seemed to be a trace of blood on the black ring.
Open your eyes.
The pale eyes looked in the direction of the resort. The heavy rain put out the fire, and the stone with the six words "Xueshan Lake Resort" printed on it cracked in the middle.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he took out his cell phone from his pocket.
Chen Nan walked back to the living room from the balcony and said as he closed the sliding door, "It's raining heavily outside."
She saw Yunyun holding literacy cards and teaching Jiang Mo how to read. Jiang Mo looked a little dazed.
"This word is pronounced as mian," Yunyun turned the card over, "Look here, there's a bowl of noodles, noodles, instant noodles..."
Yunyun put the card aside and took out another one.
After teaching more than ten words, she took ten cards in her hand, and then she took out a card with three flames printed on it and placed it in front of Jiang Mo , "This is what we just learned, how do you read it?"
Jiang Mo looked at the card.
The red color deep in the pupils lit up.
"fire."
Jiang Mo turned around and slid off the sofa.
Chen Nan looked a little surprised. She said, "The bed in the small room is ready. Do you want to take a nap?"
"I'll take him to bed." Yunyun put down the card and stood up.
She tried hard to pick up Jiang Mo and walked towards the small room.
"Teacher Huang, we have lost contact with all the people who went there..." A black figure stood behind a square pillar in the small square of Wenhua Street. He lowered his head and saw his legs, his torso, and his hands...
The rain washed the ground.
Black ash, dust and soil mixed with mud and water were washed into the sewer.
Huang Hu's expression changed.
He turned off the phone.
The figure blurred in the rain.
A police car drove up to the gate of the resort.
After getting off the car, Jiang You looked in the direction where Huang Hu had stood before.
He opened his newly bought blue umbrella and followed Tang Butian into the resort.
The center of the explosion on the ground was Enju.
The entire outer wall was blown away.
Zhuang Zekun walked around the exposed basement entrance. Fire brigade chief Meng Ying walked up to Zhuang Zekun and said, "There are no survivors."
Zhuang Zekun nodded.
Jiang You put away the umbrella and said, "It was raining last time when I came out from here. Tao Tao took the umbrella and sent me back to the villa."
Zhuang Zekun heard the voice and turned around.
Tang Butian slightly quickened his pace.
They walked over and stood beside Zhuang Zekun.
"There are no survivors." Zhuang Zekun repeated Meng Ying's words.
He glanced at Tang Butian's expression and said, "Judging from the residual spiritual power fluctuations at the scene, it was arranged according to some kind of formation rules."
"Where is Sun Yu?" Tang Butian asked.
"He is coordinating the salvage of the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake."
Tang Butian looked at the entrance to the basement and asked, "What is this?"
"I feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy inside," Zhuang Zekun paused, "I suspect the altar is underneath."
"Are you going down now?"
Jiang You looked around. Rain was falling from the cracks in the roof. Some tiny spots of light were flickering among the broken walls.
"Jiang You, come with me." Zhuang Zekun said.
When Jiang You heard Zhuang Zekun mention his name, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhuang Zekun, waiting for him to speak.
"I heard you have clairvoyance."
Jiang You subconsciously adjusted his glasses and said, "I am nearsighted. I am extremely nearsighted."
Zhuang Zekun took a step towards Jiang You and said, "Just follow me. Try to capture the trajectory of the flow of spiritual energy and record it."
"Okay then." Jiang You didn't refuse anymore.
"I 'm going to the lake." After Tang Butian glanced at Jiang You, she turned and walked out.
After Tang Butian walked out of Yuanju, Zhuang Zekun said, "Let's go."
He turned and walked toward the basement steps.
Jiang You followed behind him.
The stairs are long and winding.
The power supply was blown up.
Zhuang Zekun used the flashlight from his cell phone to illuminate the front.
"Have you been here before?" Zhuang Zekun asked in a chatty tone.
"Yes, I brought my son here to seek medical treatment from Li Yalong, an authority on autism treatment in China."
"How is your son now?"
"He's just introverted. Recently, he's been playing a mobile game in the beta stage. Because he has to form a team, he always loses and gets angry at home every day," Jiang You said with a smile on his face. "I plan to take him to the beach after the Chinese New Year to snorkel and see big turtles."
Zhuang Zekun turned a corner, and the flashlight swept across Jiang You's face. He saw Jiang You's expression, and his tone softened a little, "Is it almost time for school?"
"Yes, we just bought a house in the school district. Let him play for two years, and then he will focus on his studies."
"What was it like here the last time you came?"
"It's quite artistic, drinking tea and listening to music. I met Sun Xiu here."
"Sun Xiu?"
“Yes, he’s a very interesting person.”
They walked down the last step, Jiang You squinted his eyes and looked forward, "It seems like there is nothing."
He took a step forward.
"Be careful!" Zhuang Zekun warned.
Jiang You stepped on a loose piece of floor. The moment the ground cracked, Zhuang Zekun reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him back.
After he stood firm again, Jiang You patted his chest and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
"Nothing, just follow me and don't wander around."
"Okay, okay." Jiang You agreed.
There was a faint light coming out of the crack. Zhuang Zekun squatted down and looked into the crack.
"Did you know Jiang Yunxian before?"
"Yes." Jiang You also squatted down.
"How did you meet?"
“He bought my house.”
"What a coincidence, one buys your postcards and the other buys your house."
"Maybe it was because I had already joined the Special Operations Group at that time, and they wanted to corrupt me?" Jiang You put his hand on the gap, and a ray of light flowed through the gap between his fingers.
"How did it become corrupt?"
"Give money, give women, give doctors, that's about it," Jiang You turned his palm over, and the beam of light flowed, "Senior Zhuang, look here."
Zhuang Zekun's eyes fell on Jiang You's palm, "It's down there, step back a little."
Jiang You took a step back as he was told.
He watched Zhuang Zekun draw a half circle with his hands and then make several seals at an extremely fast speed. The afterimage remained on his retina, and then the cracks on the ground opened up a little more.
"Walk!"
Zhuang Zekun jumped down.
Jiang You took a breath, then jumped down with a bitter face.
Someone grabbed his shoulders in mid-air.
After bringing him to the ground, Zhuang Zekun released his hand, took a step to the side, then drew a semicircle in the air with one hand, gathering his fingers together and then opening them again.
The light suddenly brightened.
Candles lit up on the walls around.
In front of them, a white statue more than ten meters tall stood quietly.
