Chapter 203: Key Clue: The Wall
"Shui Qiu is your friend, should we go and see him?"
Before Wen Lang could make a sound, Yu Yong had already preemptively said: "I was just about to bring him food, why don't we go together?"
He said so, Bai Xiu had no reason to refuse, so he followed them out of the door, but the two of them walked through the residential area and went straight to the third floor - Shui Qiu, like the old man, also lived on the third floor?
Soon he knew the answer.
It turned out that their destination was not the third floor, and the three of them walked all the way to the opposite hill, where a thatched hut was standing alone, extremely dilapidated.
Wen Lang jumped over, didn't knock on the door, and shouted loudly: "Shui Qiu!"
There was silence in the house, and it seemed that its owner was not at home, and she looked helplessly at Yu Yong, who sold a pass: "I know where he is." ”
He put down his things and led them around the orchard on the other side.
A wisp of cooking smoke slowly rose from the forest, but there didn't seem to be anyone around, so Yu Yan smiled, muttered, and leaned over there: "Okay, your kid is eating alone here again......"
He brushed aside the grass in front of him, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Wen Lang leaned over to take a look, a stripped pheasant rack was roasting on the fire, but there was no one in sight, she secretly covered her mouth: "Could it be that where is it convenient for him to go?"
Yu Yong walked over, squatted down to take a closer look, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Everything is baked, he is the most protective of food, even if it is convenient, it is impossible to ignore it, is he in any trouble?"
Realizing this, he quickly stood up and shouted a few times.
"This person is delicate, and he will never be as sloppy as he faces, but this also shows that he is not lying, he was indeed qualified for the position of tower patrol back then......" Bai Xiu said secretly.
He wanted to comfort Yu Yu for a few words, but his eyes just glanced at the burnt pheasant, and a discovery made him stunned for an instant - there seemed to be something in its stomach.
He thought about it for a while, and said to the other two: "Judging by the scorched degree of the food, he shouldn't have gone far, let's go separately to find it, and gather at Shui Qiu's house in a quarter of an hour." ”
Yu Yong and Wen Lang didn't notice his abnormality, they each chose a direction and went to find it.
A few minutes later, Bai Xiu went and returned, and he drew out the Demon Breaking Blade and carefully cut a slit in the chicken belly.
In an instant, a bamboo tube the thickness of a finger and the length of a No. 5 battery revealed its figure.
He realized something, put away the knife and pinched the bamboo tube open, and inside was a familiar note.
There is still only one paragraph above:
"You never know what's going to happen next, and you never guess what you're going to lose...... This is not a threat, but a reminder, don't meddle in this matter again, 'Heaven and Earth Wuji' has nothing to do with the Heavens and Heavens, let alone you. ”
Heaven and earth are the two cores of yin and yang mentioned by Zhang Tianshou?
Bai Xiu really didn't expect that the forces behind the madman would also participate in the battle for the yin and yang cores.
Interfering in two things at the same time, he said that there is no connection between the two, does he believe it himself?
Of course –
Bai Xiu had to admit this, the other party's performance that was so eager to cover up could also be a trap, attracting him to fall deeper and deeper in this so-called Heaven and Earth Infinity.
So how does he decide, do he follow the path or heed the madman's warning and get out of here?
He didn't hesitate for too long and chose the former, it's not that he thinks that as long as the other party advocates can be opposed or what the other party opposes, it can be asserted, who knows which thing this guy said is true.
He only did this because he had no choice but to avenge his second brother.
He is worried that he can't find this murderer, but the other party is willing to deal with him here, why shouldn't he do it?
So next......
Bai Xiu knew that everything going according to plan could make this person anxious, and then let him show his flaws, so now he had to appease the people of Dizhuang, and the power he was afraid of, why couldn't he become his helper?
He threw the note into the fire along with the bamboo tube, imitating the madman's handwriting and carving a line on the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Heaven and earth are already in my pocket, and I will take it within three days. ”
After writing Bai Xiu turned around and left, he was not worried that the murderer who was hiding in the shadows and peeping would jump out to testify against him, after all, this move was not to drive away the tiger and chase the wolf, but to make the other party change the response plan, so that he could take advantage of the situation.
No one was found, so Yu Yong asked them to go over and stay by the fire, and he went back to Dizhuang to report the news and ask for support from the large army.
They didn't wait too long, a quarter of an hour later, a large group of people rushed to this fruit forest, even Zhang Tianshou also came, the group probably heard Yu Yu talk about the ins and outs, and when they arrived at the ground, they didn't ask much, and looked around.
Everything was expected by Bai Xiu, and after a while, someone shouted: "Captain, there seems to be words here!"
The man they called the captain was none other than the organizer of the most important speech in the village, called Su Xiangliu, who was in his fifties, tall and taciturn, and gave people a feeling of extreme reliability.
Su Xiangliu walked over to take a look, and his expression changed suddenly.
One of them asked him incomprehensibly: "Captain, what is this Heaven and Earth Wuji? The other party kidnapped Shui Qiu for this?"
Apparently most of these people don't know the truth.
Su Xiangliu glanced at his deputy, who cleared his throat and spoke in a loud voice: "Everyone, this Heaven and Earth Wuji must be a pretense, someone wants us to be distracted at the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice ceremony.
I see that they are clearly going to the Immortal Pagoda, the Yin Core of the Immortal Pagoda has been stolen, we must not take it lightly and lose the Yang Core again!"
Yu Yong heard the clue and said urgently: "Mr. Feng, are we just leaving Shui Qiu alone?"
Mr. Feng slapped a vague Tai Chi on his lips: "As long as he doesn't leave Dizhuang, he is our companion, how can we not care...... Well, let's have two people in each group to do that, what do you think?"
Some people also persuaded him: "Old Yu, we know that you have always regarded Shui Qiu as your own child, but now that there is something important to do in the village, I will wronged you." ”
Yu Yong dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and smiled reluctantly: "Where am I wronged, it's that Shui Qiu's child is bitter......"
People whispered, and Bai Xiu vaguely heard words such as "Lan Su", "entering the tower", "not seeing", and "regretting".
Suspicions grew in his heart, and it seemed that Yu Yong had not told them the full truth.
What happened back then? He had a hunch that perhaps this was a breakthrough to solve the two mysteries of the Spirit Pagoda and Heaven and Earth Wuji.
When everyone dispersed, Wen Lang couldn't help but comfort: "Uncle Yu, they don't help you, we will help you!"
Yu Yong smiled gratefully, took two steps in a daze, and slammed his forehead: "How did I forget, this kid went there!"
He turned and walked towards the canyon down the hillside, and they hurriedly followed.
The canyon below was not far away, and it took the three of them two or three minutes to reach the bottom of the mountain, but Yu Yu still did not stop, but walked along the canyon to the bottom of the valley.
Whoop -
Bai Xiu heard the sound of rushing water, and gradually a small but bottomless pool appeared in front of him.
Yu Yong was very excited, took off his coat, shoes and socks, turned back to them and said, "You wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"
He slid into the pool, inhaled again, closed his eyes, and slid to the bottom like a fish.
"Shui Qiu is hiding in the pool?Uncle Yu, which one is he playing?" Wen Lang hurriedly spoke, and he didn't have time to finish his question.
As the only one in the know, Bai Xiu only hoped that the madman had not killed Shui Qiu at this time.
In fact, according to this person's thinking all along, it is not difficult for him to find Shui Qiu, because the other party will only choose one place.
That's right, it's the tower, if they want to save Shui Qiu, they must go to the tower.
Ten minutes later, the water in the pool moved, Yu Yong climbed ashore again, and when he saw the two of them asking, he completely lost confidence: "It's over, the things below have been destroyed, Shui Qiu, Shui Qiu really had an accident!"
Bai Xiu noticed a detail, Yu Yong came out of the water, and in just a moment, the clothes on his body were all dry.
Thinking about him, he asked, "Brother Yu, what is the place down there?"
Yu Yong followed his gaze and looked at himself, and suddenly understood: "I don't know, but the yang evil below seems to be much stronger than outside." ”
Wen Lang was also a little curious: "Does Shui Qiu often go down, what is he doing down there?"
Regarding this problem, Yu Yong is even more unclear: "I also watched Shui Qiu go down and knew that there was a cave underneath, but there was nothing in it, only a lamp." ”
"A lamp?"
Bai Xiu didn't expect that it would be such an answer in the end, and just wanted to ask carefully, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly described the appearance of the soul lamp to Yu Yong: "Brother Yu, does it look like this?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu nodded again and again, and then looked puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with this lamp?"
Bai Xiu couldn't say it for a while, and proposed, "Can you take us down to have a look?"
Yu Yong was hoping that he could see a clue so that he could find Shui Qiu, how could there be any reason to oppose it, and after some research, they dived under the water together.
The pool was narrower than the water, and there was nothing but a few stones, so Yu Yu swam to the side and tossed one of them, revealing a small opening that could fit a man through.
The two swam in with him, and it didn't take long for them to emerge from the water.
In front of him was a cave, very small, less than half the size of the pool above, and not far from the surface of the water there was a stone slab that was twenty centimeters high.
Yu Yong pointed to the stone slab: "That lamp was originally lit there, Shui Qiu cherished it very much, and he had to come over every day to see it, but now it only has a base left." ”
The three of them climbed the stone slab in turn, and Bai Xiu looked at it and found that there was indeed a black and faint ring there, like the chassis of copper and iron objects.
He reached out and touched it, and there was one more guess in his mind.
Wen Lang also came over and asked him, "Brother Bai Xiu, what is the mystery of this place?"
Bai Xiu didn't answer her, just stood up and gently patted the wall against which the slate was leaning, and said slowly: "The road is here." ”
