Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 53: A man so lazy that he even plagiarizes his epitaph
"Zheng Qian!" Tang Xiaotang was closest to Zheng Qian. Before Zheng Qian disappeared, she subconsciously stretched out a hand and wanted to catch him. However, Zheng Qian disappeared so quickly that Tang Xiaotang didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Luo Fei looked at the array patterns on the chair and almost tripped over a stick on the ground. "It's moving! The array patterns on the chair are moving too."
Fengmen Village will move, the chair will move, and the array pattern on the chair will move...
Tang Zheng was almost certain that the space and time of Fengmen Village were constantly flowing.
The flow of space and time has always maintained a very delicate balance, except in winter every year, which is the time of year when Zheng Qian never sees Fengmen Village every time he passes by it.
Once the balance between time and space is broken, the danger level in Fengmen Village increases exponentially.
So, is there a relatively safe place?
Tang Zheng thought for a moment, and his eyes finally fell on the chair.
"Let me try." Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment, which was rare, but he still walked towards the armchair.
Hua Yingxiu's face had turned pale.
Tang Zheng is the backbone of their team. She agreed to help Xu Qingyan make the Butterfly Zombie Gu because he is Tang Zheng's brother. If Tang Zheng also disappeared like Zheng Qian , or even encountered an accident, then what was the point of her coming out?
Seeing Hua Yingxiu's expression, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if I disappear for a while, I will come back to find you."
The night before yesterday, Tang Zheng went out to hunt game and never came back, but later he appeared in front of them in good health.
Tang Xiaotang glanced at the armchair and said, "How about I give it a try? I was the closest to Zheng Qian just now, and I seemed to suddenly feel weak when I saw his body, and then..."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "He should be fine. All the people I saw being strangled by the edge of time at least left a pile of ashes, but he just disappeared completely."
As he spoke, he sat on the armchair, feeling the changes in the surrounding star power while instructing Tang Xiaotang and the others: "If I disappear later, you should climb out of the window as soon as possible. After you go out, Jiang Wuyan will lead them back the way they came. Fengmen Village has stopped moving, and its restrictions should have been lifted. You can easily find the exit. Now, all the star power has shrunk to a very small area, which may be..."
Whoosh…
Before he could finish his words, Tang Zheng disappeared.
There was silence.
Hua Yingxiu's face turned even paler: "How about...I try sitting on it too?"
Tang Xiaotang immediately shook her head: "The Master told us to leave as soon as possible, so let's leave as soon as possible... The Master's astrology is related to time. He should have his own way here, but we don't, so let's get out first."
At the critical moment, Tang Xiaotang chose to follow Tang Zheng's instructions.
Although, she also wanted to sit on the armchair and see what would happen.
Maybe he went to the same place as Tang Zheng?
However, her following Tang Zheng does not necessarily mean helping Tang Zheng.
"Let's go." Jiang Wuyan picked up Hua Yingxiu and sent her out through the window, then jumped out and pulled Tang Xiaotang out. The three of them worked together to pull the fat man Luo Fei out.
Just as they all left the room, Luo Fei looked back...
And just this one glance was enough to keep him awake for the next year!
The array patterns on the armchair actually floated up from the medium one by one, and then suddenly soared onto the roof like a swimming dragon. The powerful penetrating force opened a huge hole in the roof, and finally, it sank into the sky and disappeared!
" Luo Fei, what's wrong?" Tang Xiaotang pulled him.
Luo Fei, who had just squeezed out of the window with great difficulty, immediately returned to the door and pushed it hard with his hand.
Just when Tang Xiaotang was about to say "It's blocked from inside and can't be pushed open", she heard a "click" and the door and the armchair that couldn't be pushed open were both pushed open.
"Nine-Word Formation that Reaches the Sky!" Luo Fei looked up at the sky, his whole body stunned.
"I've heard of it...but what is it used for?" Hua Yingxiu had also heard of this kind of formation.
"Use fourteen languages with different attributes to carve out the power of time and space. Once you have learned how to draw this kind of array, even the most beginner can move you from the doorway to the corner. But if a true master takes action, the array he carves is likely to... open up time and space." Luo Fei's words were also confusing. Of course, he himself only had a superficial understanding of it, so it was impossible for him to explain it clearly.
However, Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan still felt the powerful force in his words.
Connect time and space?
There is actually an array pattern on Xingyao Continent that can do such bizarre things?
In the past, they thought that it was an act against the will of heaven for Emperor Zi Jin to shatter all the stars and only respect the main star. However, opening up time and space was a dimension that they could not imagine.
"Let's not stay here for now." Jiang Wuyan still remembered what Tang Zheng had told him. "The changes in the color of my master's light can determine the distance between us and Wulong Town. I know which way to go back. Let's leave Fengmen Village first."
"Yeah." Luo Fei took another reluctant look at the formation pattern that had disappeared on the armchair, then followed Jiang Wuyan and the others.
…
It was pitch black around Tang Zheng, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
He had to raise the stars to illuminate the place where he was now.
It doesn't look like a cave, nor is it a wild animal's lair. Instead, it looks a bit like an underground cavity formed after a natural disaster such as an earthquake.
The road is difficult to walk on.
Sometimes you need to climb over very high rocks, and sometimes you need to lie down and crawl over.
Not long after walking, Tang Zheng saw a tall statue.
It looks familiar, like I've seen it many times, but I can't remember where.
It was clearly an underground hole, but there was a constant sound of wind coming from it.
Huh…Huh…
However, when I tried to figure out which direction the wind was coming from, it seemed like it was coming from all directions.
Very strange place.
Tang Zheng walked forward and looked up at the statue, but he had funny thoughts in his mind like "It's not a butterfly zombie Gu, is it?"
"Are there words?" Tang Zheng moved closer.
There is a line of words engraved on the base of the statue.
One line of words is not a big problem, the problem is that this line of words is in simplified Chinese!
Yes, Simplified!
"A statue's base has an automatic translation function?" When Tang Zheng was looking at it from a distance just now, the words were not in simplified Chinese. As soon as he got closer, the words adaptively changed to simplified Chinese.
There is something weird about this place!
Tang Zheng looked around and made sure there was no danger before he squatted down and read the line of words carefully.
[The Purple Gold Emperor Fang Junlin, who possesses wealth, fame, power, and everything in the world, said one sentence before he shattered the void...]
By the way, why does this line seem more and more familiar the more I read it?
If it’s not One Piece, then what is it?
"I am really impressed by someone who is so lazy that he even plagiarizes epitaphs!" Tang Zheng touched his nose, shook his head, and temporarily skipped over this inscription which he was not sure whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, and continued reading.
He wanted to see what the hell Fang Junlin said before he broke the void!
"No! This is not an epitaph!" Tang Zheng's mind had been occupied by the game he hadn't eaten yet. His thoughts were not clear and his train of thought became much slower. Only now did he remember what Fang Junji said, "He said that there are relics of the Purple Gold Emperor in Fengmen Village?"
Fang Junji was very sure that the remains of Emperor Zi Jin were in Fengmen Village.
But he just couldn't find it!
Now Tang Zheng understood that it was normal that he couldn't find it, and it would be strange if he could find it.
Because Fengmen Village is moving, and perhaps only by moving here can we enter the ruins of the Purple Gold Emperor.
"Let me see what this stone base says..." Tang Zheng then narrowed his eyes and became extremely alert.
If he guessed correctly, he was probably already inside the ruins.
There must be so many good things in the relics left behind by Emperor Zi Jin!
Maybe, we can really find his constellation, the real body of Taihao Wheel.
But he needs to be quick.
Otherwise, Xiaotang and the others would have been waiting outside for a long time, thinking that he had an accident, which would not be a good thing.
[You can use any method you can think of to try to get out of this place. As long as you get out, you can get what you want.]
That's what it says on the stone base.
Get out of this place?
As long as you go out, you can get what you want. How can it be so good?
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked around again, only to find that there was a door on each side of the mountain wall of the huge statue. Each door had a lock. It seemed that as long as he found the key and opened the door, he could get out.
In addition to these two doors, the stone above the head is also suspicious.
Also the statue and the base itself seem to be made of inferior materials and do not look sophisticated.
However, no matter how you look at it, it's too simple.
It’s so simple!
Precisely because of its simplicity, Tang Zheng became alert.
He has a certain understanding of the world rules of Xingyao Continent. If you want to get something in this world, you must pay the corresponding price.
It doesn't make sense that something that completely violates this principle would happen in the ruins of Emperor Zi Jin.
If it is really as it says on the stone base, that you can get what you want as long as you walk out, then what is the difference between this and what is written in those storybooks, where the protagonist jumps off a cliff, picks up a secret book, goes into a small retreat, and then achieves great success ?
"Let me think... Is this supposed to be a game of 'Escape the Room'?"
"Well... there's no problem with escaping the secret room itself, but the problem is that the dry food I brought with me seems to be gone..."
"I see! In other words, this escape room has a death time limit mode!"
