Chapter 908: Black Building, Please
After recovering his strength, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao could no longer be trapped in the small stone town. The two could leave at any time, and even the people of Stone Town would not be afraid if they found them.
The two stayed at Rongrong's house for a day. When it was dark, Xiao Tianyao went to the back mountain of the Stone Temple and found the water flowing from the rocks in Rongrong's mouth.
However, the two got the water that could relieve the restraint of Stone Town, but they still couldn't find the mysterious power. To Xiao Tianyao, that mysterious power was also very important, so they can't leave for the time being.
"Wait another day, find the reason before leaving." Xiao Tianyao thought for a while and then decided to postpone the time to leave.
The two of them were not from the town, and they can leave at any time, but Rongrong and his father were from the town. Their sudden departure will inevitably arouse suspicion. It was best to stay in town for a while.
"It should be related to a certain stone. Did you find anything abnormal in the stone temple?" Lin Chujiu had no objection, Xiao Tianyao's martial arts recovered, and they stayed in Stone Town for a few years, let alone one more day. The people in the town can't do anything to them.
"No, it's a very unusual stone. Now that we are not affected by the mysterious power of Stone Town, I'm afraid, things will be more difficult." They were now the same as the people of Stone Town, how can they find something unusual?
"You can only take out all the suspicious stones according to your previous thinking, and then separate them one by one for different people to try." The medical system can't be counted on, Lin Chujiu can only use the most stupid method.
"Well, I'm going to collect stones, and I can leave tomorrow at the latest." The young prince of the Central Empire was still outside, and they can't stay in Stone Town for too long. If the Imperial Envoys knows what they were doing in Stone Town, they have no advantage.
Lin Chujiu nodded. To speed up the progress, Lin Chujiu especially found Rongrong and asked him to help find some special stones, not big ones, just small ones.
Rongrong was a child. A child of this age was still playful in the eyes of adults, no one suspects him when he goes out to look for rocks.
The next day, Rongrong brought back dozens of stones, big and small, with strange shapes. That night, Xiao Tianyao went out again, this time he was not looking for water but stones.
Also in order not to disturb the people in Stone Town, Xiao Tianyao did not directly steal stones from the Stone Temple, but went all over the large and small stone quarries in Stone Town, picking the stones he needed from the abandoned stone quarries.
The quarries in Stone Town are scattered, and no matter how fast Xiao Tianyao was, by the time he finishes running all the quarries, it will be dawn soon.
To get out of the city today, Xiao Tianyao didn't go back to Rongrong's house but proposed to send a signal to inform Lin Chujiu, and then waited for Lin Chujiu directly at the gate of the city with a stone.
Lin Chujiu was not a delicate woman. Although she brought a patient and a child with her, it didn't affect her speed at all. As soon as Xiao Tianyao arrived at the gate of the city, Lin Chujiu arrived with Rongrong and his father.
Seeing Xiao Tianyao's figure from a distance, Lin Chujiu heaved a long sigh of relief: "Have you collected all the stones?"
They were very unlucky today. They met patrolling people on the way. If she hadn't reacted quickly and pulled Rongrong and his father to hide first, they might have been exposed.
"Well, the respondent will be here soon, wait for a while." Xiao Tianyao took the stone bag from Lin Chujiu's hand, raised his sleeve, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"No" Lin Chujiu was not used to making such intimate gestures in front of people, and wanted to refuse, but was restrained by Xiao Tianyao: "Don't move!"
The two stood very close, with their eyes facing each other. Seeing the earnestness and carefulness in Xiao Tianyao's dazzling eyes, Lin Chujiu's face was slightly embarra.s.sed, and she turned away in embarra.s.sment.
To hide her embarra.s.sment, Lin Chujiu quickly turned her head, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at anyone.
As soon as she swept her eyes in the surrounding area, Lin Chujiu's sight fell on the stone building not far away. This stone building was the tallest in Stone Town, with seven floors, all made of black stones, and the roof was polished from a single piece of stone, which looks mysterious and mighty.
Lin Chujiu saw this building as soon as she entered the city. She didn't think there was anything there before. After all, all the buildings in Stone Town were related to stones. It was normal to have a stone building, but when Lin Chujiu saw it tonight, she found it unusual.
Who knows if it was because of the wrong angle, or because of the moonlight, but Lin Chujiu always felt that this black stone building was unusual, with red fluorescence appearing faintly, which was very mysterious.
With doubt in her heart, Lin Chujiu said directly: "Xiao Tianyao, this stone building is unusual."
"Hmm?" Xiao Tianyao paused as he wiped his sweat, followed Lin Chujiu's pointing, turned his head to look, and asked in puzzlement: "What's unusual?" Who knows if the angle was wrong or something, but Xiao Tianyao didn't see anything unusual.
"These stones are very strange. Didn't you see the looming red light?" Lin Chujiu explained what she saw abnormally, but not only Xiao Tianyao, but Rongrong and his father also looked blank, saying that there was nothing there.
"Are my eyes dazzled?" Lin Chujiu was stunned for a moment and asked Xiao Tianyao to stand where she was, but Xiao Tianyao still didn't see the so-called red light.
This black stone building was very common in his eyes, and Rongrong also echoed: "Sister no, it's aunt. Aunt, there are many black buildings in Stone Town. Look there is also beside there."
Rongrong stood on tiptoe vigorously and pointed into the distance.
It was just that the night was too dark to see anything, but Lin Chujiu believes that there must be something if Rongrong said it.
No one could see it, and Lin Chujiu had to suspect that she was wrong, and said with doubt: "Maybe it's my eyes."
Xiao Tianyao didn't like Lin Chujiu's sluggish and discouraged look. Seeing her unconfident face, he said, "I'll go get a stone out, maybe there's something abnormal that we haven't discovered."
It was just a matter of running around, it was enough to make Lin Chujiu happy.
Lin Chujiu originally wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but seeing that Xiao Tianyao was serious, she didn't say much and just told him to go and come back quickly.
The black building was not far from where they were. According to Xiao Tianyao's ability, going back and forth was only a blink of an eye. But Xiao Tianyao went for a long time and never come back.
"Why hasn't Uncle come yet?" Not only Lin Chujiu but also Rongrong felt something was wrong: "Is he in danger?"
"Danger?" Lin Chujiu thought of the mysterious power of Stone Town and thought of the red fluorescent light she had just seen, her eyes lit up inexplicably.
She thought she seemed to understand something
