Chapter 163 A dream is not a dream
Actually, Fu Qingzhou did not faint.
In other words, he himself did not feel "coma". The moment he approached the ancient sword, realized something was wrong, and stepped back, the world in his eyes had changed.
The grotto disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding area suddenly opened up and turned into an endless sea.
In the distance, the sea and sky meet each other, and there are vast clouds and mist, which is so beautiful.
Fu Qingzhou lowered his head, the water shimmering under his feet, and he was standing steadily on the vast sea.
"Illusion?"
He has experienced the Buddhist illusion technique before, and is no stranger to this sudden and abrupt change.
Looking around, Qiu Chan was nowhere to be seen, but there seemed to be a faint figure hundreds of steps ahead.
Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.
"Old guy, didn't you say there's no danger?"
He asked in his mind: "What's going on with this illusion?"
There was no response.
Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly and called in a low voice: "Old guy?"
Still no response.
He reached out to touch the jade pendant at his waist, but the jade pendant showed no reaction no matter how he fiddled with it. It seemed that the smoker had disappeared from it.
Fu Qingzhou was slightly stunned, and then he discovered that the palm of his right hand holding the jade pendant was actually smooth... Are the traces of the curse gone?
"Stop looking."
A faint female voice came from far away from the sea: "This is not your real body. If you want to say it, just treat this place as a dream. Let’s go.”
Fu Qingzhou’s pupils narrowed.
He followed the sound, and the sound came from the vaguely visible figure in the distance.
"Who is you?" he shouted loudly.
A female voice floated from afar: "Since you have come here, you should have seen the traces I left."
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly... She is the one who lives in the cave. people?
Judging from the messages he had seen before, he thought he was an old man with the image of a mad scientist, but he was actually a woman?
"Come closer."
The female voice said again: "I have something I want to entrust to you."
Fu Qingzhou frowned, thought for a moment, and slowly walked towards the figure in the distance. go.
Hundreds of steps were not far away, and he quickly reached the man.
This... is a skeleton.
A skeleton covered in gorgeous neon clothes.
It sits cross-legged on the ground, with its long sleeves spread out like petals, as if it had been posed before death.
But Fu Qingzhou didn’t think this skeleton was scary. Instead, he had a feeling of “beautiful”. The bones of this skeleton were as crystal clear as jade, and the hollow eye holes in the skull were extremely deep, as if they were hiding something. A world.
“Are you talking?”
He squatted down slightly and asked softly.
"It's me." The skeleton didn't move. Her voice didn't come from her mouth or throat, but seemed to come from every inch of her body: "Are you scared?"
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "People are afraid of unknown things. I don't know where this is, what your purpose is, and what threat you pose to me. How can I not be afraid?"
< br>"But you can still laugh." The skeleton whispered: "Why is this?"
Fu Qingzhou blinked: "No, the best way to overcome fear is to face it. Do I want to cry? It’s too shameful to shout and beg you to let me go.”
“You have a good heart.” There seemed to be a hint of smile in the skeleton’s tone: “You are also lucky, if you hadn’t found me. I’m afraid you will be trapped in this desperate situation forever.”
Fu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly: "You said 'you'..."
"That's right."
The skeleton said: "Your friend is also in a dream at this time."
Fu Qingzhou's eyes were slightly cold: "I understand, you have a way to help us leave, but you need us to do something for you... What do you want? You must have been dead for many years, what do you have in mind? Do you want us to take you out of here?"
"I have no unfulfilled wish." The female voice from the skeleton laughed: "I am not a ghost body. It’s just a trace of the original body left on the sword.”
Fu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly again - being able to leave lingering thoughts on the sword for many years, and being able to easily pull himself into a dream, this method is no weaker than that of the smoker.
Could it be that this woman is also a Xuanxing?
"Then you just said that you entrusted me with something?" He asked: "What is it?"
"Test the sword."
The skeleton girl said faintly: "Try this sword I forged."
Fu Qingzhou was stunned.
Before he could ask questions, the skeleton female voice whispered: "You must have seen the countless digital traces I left in the grotto, and you must be curious about my origin and identity, but I'm sorry, I have forgotten it. "
Fu Qingzhou said "Ah": "Forgot?"
"Yes, I forgot." The skeleton's voice was a little sad: "How much can you remember? ”
"I no longer remember who I am or where I come from. I only vaguely know what kind of person I am... My most profound memory is that I finally forged the sword I wanted to forge during my lifetime, that's all. "
"It's just that this sword has been released and has not seen the light of day. I can feel its regret... This is not to help me. Please help it."
The skeleton female voice spoke slowly. Said: "There used to be a group of extremely powerful demons in the cave you came from. I took away their original power in order to forge my sword during my lifetime. They are not that powerful now... You take your sword and kill them." Even if it's a sword test."
"When this sword is full of demon blood, I will lead you out."
Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly and remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know how to use a sword."
The skeleton female voice was startled: "Huh?"
"Yeah."
Fu Qingzhou said: "On the other hand, the woman who came with me is good with the sword. You can entrust her to her. She may be able to help you. Of course, I can help her when she tries the sword. That's okay too. ?”
Skeleton female voice: “…”
"What?"
Fu Qingzhou laughed: "It's a little different from what you expected?"
"..." The skeleton female voice was confused: "What's the problem?"
Fu Qingzhou curled his lips: "For such a simple task, why do you have to force us into a dream and give us separate instructions?"
"Why make such a big fuss when we can just leave a note and explain it clearly? Zhan Zhan? What exactly are you trying to do? Why don’t you explain it to me? I might be able to help you.”
The skeleton girl laughed at herself: "I see."
After that, she said leisurely: "Actually, I didn't deceive you. I really just wanted you to try the sword... It's just a sword test. The first thing, the second thing is to choose the master of the sword."
Fu Qingzhou was unmoved: "Oh? Deep underground, in an unknown secret place, the treasure left by the predecessors, choose someone to recognize the master, listen. It's very fantasy and exciting, but senior, what's the price?"
"What's the price..."
The skeleton woman's voice suddenly became low: "I don't know. In my vague memory, before forging this sword, countless people blocked it and treated it coldly. Perhaps holding this sword, you will be enemies of countless people.”
Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "That's not the case."
"?"
The skeleton female voice was startled: "What do you mean?"
"I have a kind of skill, The person who taught me this skill has long been the public enemy of the world."
Fu Qingzhou said softly: "If I master this skill, I am destined to become a demon - but I have already figured out that since I can't get rid of it, I have to find a way to resolve it. If one day I fight against it, I will kill myself first to avoid harming others.”
"But it won't stop me from doing what I want to do or making real friends. Even if I have trouble, it's just a common thing in my opinion. How can anything in the world be perfect?"
"It's just a difficult-to-use knife. It's hard to avoid hurting your hand when you hold it tightly, but if necessary, I don't mind using it to kill the enemy."
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: " A sword is not enough to make me an enemy. This is not the price."
"...You are young, but you think more clearly than me."
Skeleton. There was also a smile in the female voice: "That's good. It's okay if you have doubts. Why not see how your friends behave first."
Fu Qingzhou was startled: "Friends...?"
