Chapter 32: The Four Sacred Trees
"To the east of Penglai is Dongying, now known as Japan. There is a tree in Dongying Gu, called Fusang, the ten sons of the Demon Emperor inhabit this tree, the branches of Fusang wood, then there is divinity, and it can pass through the Three Realms. “
"Built in the west, the legend is the longest, and the myth is that it is the ladder to the sky. “
"An Ye, I am looking for these four sacred trees, but I want to be the key of mythology, and when I find the moon disk in the future, with the heavenly star bead in hand, I will definitely be able to calculate the sun, moon and stars, find the last seed left by the myth of the desolation, and reopen the door of the heavenly realm!"
After I finished speaking, Lu An stared at me, as if he was looking at a fool.
To be honest, it's really a bit stupid, Lu An guessed and guessed, I'm afraid I can't guess that financial interests are not my purpose, my purpose will be those ethereal myths and legends.
After being cold for a long time, Lu An also felt a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and said, "Xiaoyou is really a masterpiece, the old man is still in this turbid world, I didn't expect Xiaoyou to have seen through the red dust and wanted to find the mystery of opening the sky, and his ambition is very strong!"
After praising these two sentences, Lu An's voice sank, and he continued, "Xiaoyou Honghuzhi, the old man is willing to help on behalf of the Lu family, no matter whether Xiaoyou can get what he wants, the Lu family will always be the same. What the old man said next is also related to Xiaoyou, so listen carefully. “
Lu An has expressed his attitude, whether I really want to find the mystery of the flood or play nonsense, he is willing to help me unconditionally, this is not to blame him, just what I just said, I am afraid that normal people will treat me as a psychopath, I want to do this thing that is not in harmony with reason in the eyes of everyone, and I have my own reason, but there will be no pie in the sky, Lu An promised to help like this, I am afraid that it will be said later, I have to work hard.
I nodded, which is equivalent to agreeing to Lu An's conditions in advance, there is no way, I urgently need external support, and Lu An listens carefully, which means that you can only listen if you agree, and if you don't agree, you don't have to listen, and even the previous conditions are invalid. As for this laurel wood, I'm not afraid that he will take it back, this thing is only related to legends, otherwise it would be just like that, and I wouldn't be able to cook a bowl of porridge if I took it out to burn it.
Lu An saw me nodding, so he waved his hand at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan then took out a small object from his pocket, pressed the switch and put it on the high table, I subconsciously took out my mobile phone and took a look, sure enough, this is a signal ***, I secretly said to the test, now that technology has developed like this, it is like making a movie.
"What Xiaoyou said is true, I and the Gu family, the book of the ground is not a volume, two of them, recorded the place where the sycamore wood and the laurel are located, according to the map, it is not difficult to get it, but the book does not record the use of this thing, I just put this thing in the warehouse, and then arranged a large number of people, intending to find all the ancient tombs contained in the book, Xiaoyou don't want to laugh, this matter is afraid to fall on others, but also the general choice. “
That's natural, if people are not greedy, what kind of soil master should they be, isn't it good to go to work and earn wages?
"There are a lot of ancient tombs contained in the book of the ground, but not all of them are valuable, some military tombs, the swords in the tomb have long been rusted can not be picked up, and the tomb of the general, calligraphy and painting are also soaked into a ball of wet mud, it takes a long time, but the acquisition is extremely limited, the old man as the head of the family, under the trade-off, he is ready to stop the action, this book on the ground, it seems to be beautiful, it is actually a chicken rib, there may be treasures in it, but my generation is mortal with the naked eye, can not try one by one, never expected that when the action is about to stop, one of the teams, something strange happened. “
"The goal of this team is a tomb of the prince of the Sui Dynasty located in the north of Xuzhou, the Sui Dynasty is not strong, and I don't expect any priceless treasures in this tomb, but I went to a shopkeeper with four guys, and only one shopkeeper came back, or a broken finger and few eyes, and the mental condition is also very bad, and it took a week to recuperate before I could be questioned. “
"This shopkeeper is not a nameless person, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai online people are called 'Qiao San', my Lu family disciple, real name Lu Baomin, this person is a good skill to unlock the lock and open the organ, no matter how difficult the organ, there is no one who can't open it after trying it three times, and everyone gave it such a nickname. “
Lu Baomin told the process of their entry into the tomb, there is nothing to say in front, there is a book on the ground, the most difficult step has been skipped, they easily found the entrance, a few people touched the road, Lu Baomin took a look, there is a mechanism on the floor that is subsided, and a few black holes at the end of the road, it must be a dark crossbow and a gun, etc., this is the old method used in the tomb, Lu Baomin didn't care, he had to start cracking the mechanism. “
"Not true. “
I frowned and heard this, I really couldn't help it, and interrupted Lu An in a loud voice, "Master An, this doesn't make sense, I have walked through a few tombs in the book of the ground, and the disciples of Ying Xuan have been to a good place, how can there be a secret lock of the organ that can't be broken, besides, people can't fly, and they can't get over if they don't understand, if you want to restore when you leave, it's not a fart to take off your pants, isn't it a big move, since Lu Baomin walked to the tomb where Ying Xuan walked, how could there be a mechanism?"
Lu An also sighed, "Who said it wasn't, it's just that Lu Baomin is especially good at this, and it has become his habit to crack it when he sees the mechanism, and under the habit, he didn't even think about the unreasonable places, and several of his buddies have been with him for a long time, and it is such an obvious problem, no one notices it, and they all feel that it should be so." “
Lu Baomin lifted a few Sui tomb traps, it was a matter of hand-to-hand capture, and everyone did not delay time, and went straight to the main tomb, there was no treasure and no treasure intended to be solved quickly, but as soon as they entered the main tomb, they were attacked. ”
"Attack?" I repeated Lu An's words, "is it a human, is it a ghost?"
Lu An touched his chin, "I'm not afraid of Xiaoyou's jokes, this is a person or a ghost, Lu Baomin himself can't tell, what attacked everyone was a group of strange birds, after the strange birds, there seemed to be a figure, but he was too busy to take care of himself at the time, so there was still time to observe."
Lu Baomin and his guys did not sit still, except for the guy who was attacked at the beginning and couldn't save it, several people rose up to resist and fought and retreated to the Yongdao when they came in, what they never expected was that the trap that had been lifted by Lu Baomin before was actually triggered one after another at this moment, two guys were killed by random arrows on the spot, and one guy turned into the ground depression, Lu Baomin relied on his kung fu, although he successfully escaped from Yongdao, but he was also shot blind in one eye.
Lu Baomin endured the pain, knowing that this was not the time to rest, he continued to escape, and saw that the exit was close in front of him, and among the strange birds that were chasing, one flew to the front and grabbed his fingers, according to Lu Baomin's description, this strange bird was just the size of an owl, but under this title, it was not less than a hundred catties of huge strength, Lu Baomin, a man who weighed a hundred and a half pounds, was pulled to the point that it was difficult to move an inch, Lu Baomin was in a hurry, waved a knife and broke his fingers, and escaped from the hole. ”
As soon as he got out of the hole, Lu Baomin felt weak all over his body, his legs were weak, and he secretly said in his heart that his life was over, and he fell to the ground and was ready to die. ”
After Lu An finished speaking, I fell into thought, this thing is really weird, it is unreasonable everywhere, how can such a dead thing as a mechanism be restored again and again, what is that strange bird, why is it so powerful, and it will take the initiative to attack, what is the black shadow that Lu Baomin saw, is it a person or a ghost, Ying Xuan explored this tomb back then, why didn't he encounter these things, or rather, all this happened after Ying Xuan searched for the tomb.
I thought about it, but I felt clueless, I had never heard of anything like this, I stared at Lu An suspiciously, and said in my heart, isn't this me?
I didn't wait for others to speak, I denied myself, he was the head of Lu An's family, a handful of years, and had time to make up stories to coax me, and also brought a treasure with me?
Lu An looked at me and came back to my senses from my thoughts, and continued, "If this matter ends here, then there will be no hindrance, after all, the world is so big, and it is not impossible to do something stranger than this, the problem is that this matter is far from over." ”
"After Lu Baomin was rescued, because the matter was serious, I personally went to inquire, but only half a month after I left, the child who was responsible for taking care of Lu Baomin informed me that Lu Baomin was harmed, I was naturally surprised, and hurriedly went to investigate, to know that the place where Lu Baomin cultivated was not a place where people come and go in the hospital, but a secret place set up by my Lu family. Under the investigation, no too useful clues were found, and the surveillance did not record any useful information, and the only thing that was known was the pattern that the murderer deliberately left on the deceased. “
Speaking of this, Lu An took out a photo from his cuff and handed it to me, I took it and took a look, a pattern was carved out of the back of a dead man with a dagger, not to mention the dead man, it was Lu Baomin Undoubtedly, this pattern, carefully identify it, but it is a bit like the appearance of the strange bird in Lu An's previous story.
"Xiaoyou was looking for the four sacred trees on the road, although the act was secret, but there is hardly an impermeable wall in the world, when the news came, the old man had questions, how is the book from the ground obtained by Xiaoyou different from other volumes, why the other volumes only record the tombs and the treasures in them, but Xiaoyou can know many hidden legends, I don't know if Xiaoyou may solve the puzzle today?"
The main event is here, my previous remarks are not all nonsense, but it is far from enough to deal with an old fox like Lu An, but since I have made up my mind to cooperate with his Lu family and share some information, it is also inevitable to show sincerity.
I put the photo on the high table and said in a deep voice, "An Ye is good, although the book of the earth is divided into several volumes, there is one of the most core, Xiao Wu, what I took is the general outline of the book of the earth." “
