Chapter 120 Qingming Hall
Chapter 120 Qingming Hall
"It's beautiful, right~" Mu Qinzao stood beside the three of them, overlooking the powerful and impactful scenery together.
"Stop standing there, let's go!"
Mu Qinzao gave Yuanque a light push, then jumped lightly down the hillside.
Lin Yiyuan tightened his backpack and luggage and quickly took action.
Compared with the weight carried by Lin Yi and the other man, Wu Baitian's load seemed quite exaggerated.
She was carrying three heavy suitcases on her shoulders, a backpack on her back, and a backpack full of medicinal herbs on her chest. She followed the three people closely with a slightly clumsy pace.
Coming down the hillside, on the left is a row of courtyards with three big words "Forging House" written on it. Behind them stand countless chimneys spewing billowing smoke into the sky.
In the middle is the Qingming Hall, with its neat top extending sharply outward, like a towering monument in human architecture, seeming to have reached the supreme realm.
On its right side, there flows a blood-red river. On the river bank, a huge rock stands tall, with only a striking red word "blood" engraved on it.
The river water occasionally hits the boulders, and the splashing water looks like dripping blood, adding a bit of eeriness and weirdness.
"You guys go in, I'll wait for you outside." Mu Qinzao nodded at Qingming Hall and then stopped moving.
After 66 hours on the green train, two days and two nights of walking in the desert, and more than three hours of crossing mountains and hills, they finally arrived.
Lin Yiyuan stood beside Wu Baitian, his eyes fixed on him.
Wu Baitian understood the two people's current nervousness and anxiety, and he also became nervous unconsciously.
"Let's go in." Wu Baitian said, and then he stepped onto the stone steps with the two of them.
As the three people walked into Qingming Hall, dozens of people suddenly appeared in the originally empty place.
"Fire and Earth! How is it?"
"You came back so quickly? Is that okay or not?"
"That's right! In order to add a sense of mystery to the school, I jumped directly into the blood pool and soaked in it for half a day." A man with his whole body dyed red jumped out of the blood pool.
"I'm really dying of laughter. Our martial god is so great, do we still need you to add to his mystery? Stay away from me! Bad brains are contagious."
"Tell me what you are like! Stop pretending to be profound!"
"Hearing that we have two entrances to the abyss, are you crying with fear? Are you desperate? Come on! Tell me!"
"Hurry up, the seniors are very busy!"
"Hey! You seniors are the only ones who are busy? We're not busy, are we?"
Everyone was talking at once, eager to find out something.
Mu Qinzao stood respectfully in front of these third-year seniors, having long since restrained his previous otherworldly air.
There was no other way. Being weak, one had to keep his tail between his legs. Which of these seniors who had survived to the third year of college could he afford to offend? Therefore, he remained humble, not daring to slack off at all, and began to explain in detail.
"Dear seniors, the three people I brought with me this time are from Qingcheng City..."
Yuan Que looked at the door that closed automatically after they entered Qingming Hall, and felt a chill in his heart as he felt a chill in his heart. He said softly, "It's a bit cold."
"The word 'ming' is often associated with the afterlife and the concept of death, so it makes sense to associate it with cold."
When Lin Yi heard Wu Baitian's words, he subconsciously moved closer to the two of them.
After the door closed, the room fell into darkness.
Although they are all warriors, they should theoretically have vision beyond that of ordinary people.
Even the ability to identify objects in the dark, but the actual situation is far more complicated than imagined.
So except for Wu Baitian who could barely see clearly within one meter around him, even Lin Yi could only see a blurry darkness in front of him.
In this situation, it seems that being completely blind might actually bring a sense of security.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the candles in the room were suddenly lit, and the light instantly filled the entire space.
It might not be appropriate to call it a room, because as the line of sight extends along the rows of candles, it is clearly visible that the entire space is more like a spacious and deep corridor.
On the walls of the corridor, rows of stone slabs are neatly arranged, each slab is about 30 cm square.
There are words written on it in various handwritings.
"Mao Peipei, I didn't want to come, I really didn't want to come, but I'm here anyway!"
"Feng Wuhuo, today I am a student of Wushen Wuda!"
"Fang Ping, as martial artists, we should be brave enough to be the first for the human race."
"Zhao Wentian, it's just the entrance to the abyss. I am not afraid of the sky."
"Money man, take a chance and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!"
"Wang Zhihe..."
"Lin Shengsheng..."
Wu Baitian and the other two followed the candlelight and looked at the words carved on the stone slabs. There were countless names carved on the countless stone slabs in the Qingming Hall.
Some are so sloppy that the names are unclear, and some even have only one name.
Lin Yi looked at the endless corridor and the countless stone slabs, and his voice trembled a little: "Are they all dead?"
"Ahem, most people have already... passed away." An old man's voice suddenly sounded behind the three people.
When Wu Baitian and the other two turned around vigilantly, the old man's figure had already appeared in front of them.
"You came so early this year, freshman? You can just call me Old Man Liu. My job is to guard the gate here. Unlike other schools, our school doesn't have a gate. We only have this Qingming Hall."
The old man had a slightly hunched body, gray hair, and his left hand was tightly holding a cane to support his body, while his right sleeve was hanging loosely, obviously he had lost an arm.
At the same time, his eyes were empty. Although he was smiling at the three people, this smile, combined with the place where he was, inexplicably revealed a heart-pounding chill, which made people involuntarily feel an indescribable fear.
Lin Yi grabbed Wu Baitian's arm tightly in an instant, while Yuan Que pulled Wu Baitian and Lin Yi and wanted to retreat.
Wu Baitian reluctantly struggled to free himself from the hands that were grabbing and pulling him: "You should be nervous, but this is Wu Shen Wu Da, you are so scared."
Besides, just for this old man Liu who appears and disappears so mysteriously and silently, you would have died eight times already.
"Mr. Liu, are we considered freshmen now?" Wu Baitian asked respectfully. These twists and turns made her doubt whether she was considered a student of Wushenwu University.
"You three are the first to arrive. Who brought you here?" Old Man Liu did not answer Wu Baitian's question directly, just like Wu Baitian did not confirm the question he asked just now.
