Dawn of the Grey Tower

The red door opened with a creak, revealing the shadow wall inside. The female swordsman and her cat walked into the courtyard carefully, with unconcealable tension on their faces. It is dangerous to let Atta act alone, so Cheese specially embroidered several patterns, or spells, on her outer robe with blood-stained needles and threads. The effectiveness of these spells is just to make people feel inconspicuous to the wearer, but sometimes they can still play a big role. Especially after Atta deliberately put some cloth in her clothes to make her body curve look closer to a man.

Of course, such a simple dressing is not enough to hide from the assassin’s eyes. What really allows Atta to reach here safely is Kailas who follows her, secretly guards and removes the spies who want to send a message. . After all, no one cares about a black cat compared to a female swordsman.

"Come to see me in the middle hall." The voice came from an invisible place, not the kind of shouting, but as if someone whispered in the ear. This is not magic, because the owner here is not a wizard, he is a hermit, or he can be called a stone carver. Sage in the Stone, this is definitely not a name, but it is sometimes more true than the name given by the parents. Because the name is given, but the name is earned.

One person and one cat walked around the stone wall and came into the yard. Of course, they were frightened by the stone statues displayed here. Even in the daytime, these silent carvings seem to jump up at any time, and this is all due to the excellent craftsmanship and dedication of the people who carve them.

Fairies are often described as beings related to art. Many fairies have magical powers in legends that give ordinary people inspiration and creative ability. This is actually not very accurate. The performance of art depends to a large extent on its inherent kinetic energy, that is, the extraordinary vitality of the artwork as a dead object. Fairy is only sensitive to this.

This also explains why it is just a beautiful stone sculpture for the cheese and the others, but it can shock Atta and the others for a long time. The cat fairies and half fairies can perceive through their unique senses that these works are not just stones that have changed their shapes. , There is something awakened in them, so there will be a moment for the viewer to think that they are actually living individuals.

The shock will eventually calm down. The two walked through the road that the stone statue gave way to the main house at the end of the courtyard. Like the courtyard door, the door of the house was also open. Stepping on the steps in front of the house, there is a vivid fox statue in the house. An old man is holding a stone carving tool, tapping the imperfect details on the statue.

In fact, the stone carvings are not too fine, because they are things to be placed outdoors to let the wind and rain beat, and the lines that are too fine will lose their original appearance after scouring. And this kind of thing, how can an old man as a stone carver know that the details he modifies are not limited to the things in the corners.

"Sit down first, here is almost finished." Shi Lao didn't look at the two people who entered the room, just said casually, and continued to plunge into his carving. Kailas and Atta glanced at each other. They weren't anxious. The question is, where does this room seem to sit? Even the futon and the only chair that were made when the cheese came last time are gone. The huge room is very empty, with only a few pillars indicating that it is not outdoor.

Frustrated, Atta could only choose to sit on the ground leaning on a pillar. The arrow wound on her body had not healed yet, so she should reduce her activities as much as possible.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" The sound of collision between rock and metal should have been very sharp, and it would be difficult to be gentle when the two hard substances are combined together. But in this empty hall, the sound of the stone carvings didn't seem so harsh, on the contrary, there was a subtle rhythm implied. Atta leaned on the pillar, her mind went from tense to relaxed, and finally fell asleep listening to those percussive sounds.

"Well... I will walk around before the injury is clear. It is inevitable to leave the root of the disease. Really, the younger generations nowadays are too crazy, always rushing to finish things before they are finished, but don't know that they are finished. Just do it, why bother?" The whispers beside her awakened the sleeping Atta. She raised her head and saw Shi Lao standing in front of her, as if she had changed his clothes. Talking to Kailas next to him.

"I'm very sorry, I seem to have fallen asleep accidentally." Atta's face flushed slightly, but she did not exclaim or show other movements, but stood up from the ground decently. This kind of transformation ability was obviously praised by Shi Lao, his eyes softened when he looked at Atta, took out a small porcelain bottle from the wide sleeve, and handed it to the female swordsman.

"The girl is not a qi training person, so the old man can't dredge the meridians for you. These pills are made by myself. You can apply hot water to the wound once a day, one at a time, and wait. When the pills in the bottle are used up, the bruises from your wound should be gone. The general purpose of your coming here, Mr. Cat has already told me. I have some fate with the cheese and sword seven in your mouth. In addition, the causes and consequences of this matter have a lot to do with the residents of Runliu City, and it is necessary to help out of reason."

"Then you mean you are willing to make a move?" Atta smiled. The most hoped goal they could achieve this time was to ask Lao Shi and Yuwen to help. These two are considered the most powerful people they have seen in the torrent. People. On the fisherman's side, his own Jianqi said that Atta had not had contact with the fisherman before, and the former's perverse character was probably not willing to talk to her. Although Shi Lao is not easy to move, he is more reasonable, ask the two of them to come over and state the whole story clearly, there is still a possibility that he will agree to help.

"This is right or wrong, don't rush to a conclusion." The old man touched his beard and walked back to the middle of the house with the two of them. The statue that was originally placed there has been moved to the yard, and the magical thing is that moving such a heavy statue didn't even make a sound to wake Atta in the house. Without the stone carving, there are three chairs and a table in the room. The table is a little short, with a teapot and three teacups on it.

Ata sat down on the chair a little uneasy, she wanted to ask Kailas Shilao if she would like to help, but since she woke up, the cat goblin looked thoughtful and did not respond to Ata Eyes. However, Old Shi himself noticed the helplessness of the female swordsman, reached out and picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for each of them.

"Busy, I will help. But not what you think. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com As you said, those bugs that flow down from the upper reaches are really terrible, they are outside the evil spirit. However, the sun rises and falls, There are springs and autumns. You can’t say that snow is abnormal because it snows in winter and freezes to death. This is how I say this. You go to an old drunkard, and he will say the same. We can’t stop the catastrophe. If there shouldn’t be this catastrophe here, then you can stop it. The reason why our two old guys came here is to escape these righteousness, status, and have to Do things. Otherwise, it won’t be called Guiying."

"But, if you don't take action, what can you do for us?" Atta asked softly. Perhaps it was because this was the first time she saw her. She was not as unhappy about Shi Lao's refusal. In any case, she was given medicine for trauma when they met. This kindness will not be false.

The old man smiled slightly, and took out a few things from his sleeves, and placed them on the table one by one. They were four pendants made of jade, three carved with lions, and one carved with a kind of ata never seen. Living creatures.

"This is the help I can give you. These three jade lions can help you a little bit. As for this chilong, it was given to you alone. I have never found anyone since I carved this thing many years ago. As a gift, as soon as I saw the girl today, I knew that this thing was prepared for you long ago."
