Chapter 578 Clues
However, Shen He was able to maintain a relatively peaceful mentality in such an environment and has reached his current level. This makes Lin Feng both admire and feel distressed for him. Shen He is a pitiful person, and his father is also a pitiful person. The only difference is that his father brought it upon himself.
At this moment, Yun Jin, who had been silently accompanying him, suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled look on her face. Her beautiful eyes were full of confusion. She frowned slightly, and her eyebrows were like a touch of indigo on a distant mountain, revealing elegance and confusion. She asked softly, "Hmm? Lin Feng, what did you mean just now? What murderous intent? Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Faced with Yun Jin's sudden question, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. His mouth opened slightly, like a fish that was short of oxygen. He wanted to explain something, but his mind was blank for a moment, and he didn't know where to start. His brain was working quickly, trying to find a suitable reason to explain what he had just said, but... it seemed that there was really something he couldn't explain.
Paimeng, who was standing aside, saw Lin Feng's appearance and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. How could this guy be so reckless and say these words without thinking, almost revealing all of Shen He's unknown secrets. How could such a thing be told casually? Usually, Lin Feng is not such an impulsive and reckless person. What happened today? He did things without considering the consequences and didn't even think about it.
However, now that things have come to this, no amount of complaints will help. Paimon shook his head helplessly, his little head shaking with helplessness and annoyance. Then he quickly said to smooth things over: "Well... We have searched here for a long time, but it seems that we haven't found any relevant records about the 'Secret Stone'. Why don't we go over there and look for it! Maybe there will be new clues there." As he spoke, Paimon pointed in another direction, and the slender finger drew an arc in the air, trying to divert everyone's attention. As he spoke, Paimon raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the village.
Anyway, the few people here have searched the surroundings thoroughly and carefully, but they still can't find even a little record of that mysterious ore. This is really a perfect opportunity to help Lin Feng resolve the embarrassing situation he is facing.
At this moment, Paimeng couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and even couldn't hold back his excitement. He began to silently praise himself for his wit and intelligence. You know, it's not easy for everyone to help Lin Feng get out of trouble so cleverly! Paimeng felt that he was so smart. At such a critical moment, he successfully diverted everyone's attention and avoided a possible embarrassing situation.
When Yun Jin heard what Paimeng said, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. She was so smart that she could naturally perceive Paimeng's intention. But she was always a reasonable and sensible person, so she quickly realized that Paimeng didn't seem to want her to know the truth behind this matter. Since the situation has developed to this point, it would be difficult for her to continue to ask questions. Because even if she insisted on asking, she might not get the answer she really wanted in the end.
So, after thinking for a moment, Yun Jin said, "Well, time is very tight now, so we should speed up and get there." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly towards the other side of the village together.
The shadows of the crowd were stretched out in the sunlight, and everyone was focused on moving forward, hoping to find clues about the secret stone on the other side of the village.
However, as they walked, Paimeng still couldn't completely suppress her deep dissatisfaction with Lin Feng. While others were not paying attention, she quietly turned her head and glared at Lin Feng who was walking beside her.
His eyes were full of blame, as if he was silently complaining: Why does this guy always speak without thinking?
Paimon's eyes were wide open, like two bright gems, sparkling with dissatisfaction towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt Paimeng's gaze and felt guilty. He also knew that his behavior just now was a bit rash and almost caused a big mistake. He lowered his head silently and quickened his pace, hoping to find the secret stone as soon as possible to make up for his mistake just now.
Several people searched for a long time on the other side of the village, not leaving out any possible places. They went into the dilapidated houses, searched in the ruins, carefully checked every corner, and finally found a record called "Rock and Stone Talk" in the ruins of a dilapidated house.
The cover of the record was worn out and the pages were stuck together, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. The handwriting on the cover was a little blurry, and only the words "Stone Talks" could be barely recognized. Looking at the only record about stones around, several people felt a little helpless for a while. "This should be it, let's open it first." Paimeng said first, and then carefully opened "Stone Talks".
When they opened the book, an old smell came to them, the smell of years, mixed with the musty smell of paper. The paper had become fragile due to its age, as if it would break with the slightest force. They flipped through the pages one by one, each carrying traces of history, and the words on it were already a little blurred.
It was recorded: "The spells engraved on the Secret Stone can usually last for a long time, and some people believe that it has the magical power to communicate yin and yang. That mysterious power seems to be able to cross the boundary between life and death and connect two different worlds. But it is not easy to find the "Secret Stone". It requires a special "time" and "place". Legend has it that if you stand in the center of the lake in the south of Tianheng Mountain and look for it in the direction of the sunset at dusk, you may find something."
After they finished reading the words in the book word by word, they relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. They almost simultaneously let out a long breath of relief. It was such a blessing! Who would have thought that the clue they had been searching for for so long would appear before their eyes without any warning.
