Chapter 211: The Truth About Being Late
In the small box, three black iron pieces were lined up.
They were only two fingers wide and were carved with extremely simple patterns, connected to what seemed to be clouds and what seemed to be eyes.
Bai Xiu was no stranger to this, he had seen similar patterns on the identity inscriptions of Yingzhou's members, so he could also be sure that Yingzhou also had at least three fragments of the Tribulation Tripod in his hands.
He didn't know exactly how many of these Raiders were, but he had the initiative now, anyway.
Next, he had to follow Fang Xuanjian and reveal the news that he had three pieces of Robbery Tripod fragments, and someone would naturally come to the door at that time.
But before that......
He put away the three pieces and took out a note from his pocket, which contained only a short sentence: "Room 1025 of the Pengcheng Triangle Field Sightseeing Hotel on August 13, there is everything you want to know." β
What he was suspicious of was not the address, nor the thing itself, but the handwriting on the note that he knew so well that he would not forget it for at least a long time to come.
Yes, it's the madman.
The madman would leave him a note, Bai Xiu didn't think it was unusual, the strange thing was that when the other party left the note for him, he was almost desperate.
Yes, the madman saved him.
Things go back to two days ago.
The huge black shadow gradually dissipated, and the jade platform and the golden temple reflected each other, and under the light of the light moonlight, it was so peaceful and beautiful.
"Brother Bai Xiu, don't be sad, Captain Su and Mr. Feng have already prepared to sacrifice, and they definitely don't want us to be sad for them. β
Seeing Bai Xiu's sad expression, Wen Lang whispered comfortingly, "Now that we have fulfilled their last wish, it is a happy thing." β
He smiled reluctantly, sorted out the yin and yang cores, and handed them to Yu Yong.
"Brother Yu, this is what the two seniors asked me to pass on to you, they said that they removed you from the list back then, but they didn't want you to fall too deep, and now Dizhuang urgently needs someone at the helm, so Heaven and Earth Wuji and Lingling Pagoda will ask you. β
"Do they really say that......" Yu Yu was stunned, then shook his head, and smiled bitterly, "I have no virtue and no talent, and today's catastrophe is caused by me, and what face do I have to take over from them to manage the embankment."
What's more, I killed Shui Qiu, I have to leave here and go to his parents to make amends. β
His attitude was resolute, and Bai Xiu was a little helpless, so he had to hand them to Wen Lang: "Then I'll hand them over to you for safekeeping, and in a few days, the major families and sects will send people over." β
"Brother Bai Xiu......" Wen Lang took the thing, pursed his lips without saying anything, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you." β
Bai Xiu touched her head: "It's okay, I know you've been helping me." β
Wen Lang nodded happily and said to him expectantly: "Then you and I can go back to Dizhuang together, as long as you get there, all grievances can be written off."
Don't you know, the three families and six factions have all issued a reward to arrest you back to the Hongmeng Bai family for interrogation, and their people are afraid that they have already spread all over other places, if you go out now, won't you fall into the net?"
Yu Yong thought for a moment and said his proposal: "Why don't you go to Bisong Mountain with me first, it is the address left to me by Shui Qiu's parents when they left, and it can be regarded as a place to cultivate inaccessibly, and avoid the limelight." β
Bai Xiu was a little moved: "Aren't you worried that I'm really the villain who kills people and robs treasures?"
"Although I am not very old, I also know how to think, I don't listen to the wind or rain, and I believe in what I see with my own eyes. β
Wen Lang said with a straight face, "The brother Bai Xiu I know is a kind-hearted and courageous person, how can he be a bad person?"
The little girl was straightforward and fast-talking, Bai Xiu was inevitably a little confused, and hurriedly diverted the conversation: "Brother Yu, maybe it's a little rude, but can you please tell me more about what happened twenty years ago?"
Yu Yong knew what he meant, and nodded: "There are still many things that we need to deal with, let's talk about it as we go." β
He led them out along the path he had come from.
It was a narrow, secret passage, and Bai Xiu didn't know where it was connected, but at least it was safe enough.
Yu Yu just lowered his head at first, and after muttering for a while, he suddenly spoke: "Su Su and Xiaoqiu entered the tower from here that day, and Shui Qiu's father and I planned to wait for the captain to assign the task, so we came to pick them up. β
He seemed to fall into a memory, and his voice became a little low: "I didn't go in this time, maybe you don't know, but in fact, the space in the Spirit Pagoda is wider than any of us imagined.
Shui Qiu's father and I applied to inspect the lowest floor, and just after walking half a circle, we heard shouting from upstairs. β
He smiled suddenly.
"Although we smell like each other and are bastards at times, we are still a little responsible after all, and although we are in a hurry to pick up our relatives, we still meet and go upstairs, and the cheers come from above.
At first, we thought it was our companions on the second floor who caught up with us, but we didn't pay attention and went up to the third floor. β
His expression became distant: "When we went up to the third floor, the shouting came from the fourth floor again.
We searched for it layer by layer, and in the end, only the top nine floors were left unchecked, which was the place where Heaven and Earth Wuji were stored, and we couldn't go up without the permission of the captain.
But at that moment, all the movement came to an abrupt halt, and we were very worried, hesitated, and walked on. β
Yu Yong's face faintly flashed with an extremely complicated look, as if he was puzzled and fearful.
He swallowed and said, "There is only one safe on it, which is usually locked, but at that time, the door was open.
We rushed over to see that the box containing Heaven and Earth had also been opened, and only the Yang Core was left inside.
At that time, we were really surprised, but then we felt creepy, the ninth floor is so big, what about the captain?"
Wen Lang asked, "Could it be that they were already out of the tower at that time?" Maybe they fell for the thief's trick to divert the tiger from the mountain?"
"No way. Yu Yong said firmly, "You forget, I was on the first floor at the time, and if so many people went downstairs, it would be impossible for us not to know." β
Bai Xiu pondered, "Then what happened to you? You seem to have found them?"
Yu Yong sighed and nodded: "Yes, we found them."
At that time, we were scared silly, because there has always been a popular legend in the embankment, saying that there is a man-swallowing monster living in the tower, and we thought that they were on the way, so they took the yang core and prepared to go back to the village for help, but they have not been able to get out. β
"Can't get out?" Wen Lang said in surprise, "Met a ghost hitting the wall?"
Yu Yong shook his head: "I still don't know what happened at that time, we turned around for a long time, no matter how we walked, we would eventually return to the roof."
Just when we were discouraged and decided to try one last time, we managed to get out. β
Wen Lang thought of a possibility: "Could it be that someone is helping you in the dark?"
Yu Yu couldn't help but look at Bai Xiu, and Bai Xiu understood: "My father has been following you at that time." β
"That's right. Yu Yong smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that I didn't understand his hard work at the time, but I just rushed out of the tower with Shui Qiu's father and came to this secret passage to find Su Su and them."
I told you before that they were gone, and we searched frantically, and finally found them where Bai Xiu fell before.
At that time, the situation was very critical, because of the prohibition of the Spirit Pagoda itself, your father could not use spiritual power at that time, and he could only save one person.
He, he didn't know how to choose, so he told us about the situation, let's discuss it first, and see if there is a way to get the two of them down.
The man who stole the Yin Core had already planned this, and for some reason, he built those ladders, and I don't know why they were brought there by him.
At that time, Shui Qiu was young and couldn't hold out for long, so Su Su persuaded us to take him away, she said that the devil would come back soon, and we should leave quickly, otherwise we would all die.
Later she ......"
Bai Xiu couldn't bear to listen to it, and comforted: "Since I can come back alive after falling, maybe she is still alive, let's look for it together." β
"She's just an ordinary person. Yu Yong quietly wiped his tears, "When I fell, I was directly burned into ashes by the impotence that escaped, and I watched it."
I just hated why I insisted on that so-called kindness and made her a victim. β
He smiled: "Of course I understand now, because the person I like is a kind person, and she was willing to give up her life to save me."
In fact, she understands everything, which is why my hypocrisy fulfills her. β
Bai Xiu and Wen Lang couldn't help but be silent, and Yu Yong looked at them: "I have figured it out now, and I am also relieved, after explaining to Shui Qiu's parents, I will go to fulfill her last wish." β
"Wish...... Wen Lang said firmly, "How can I help?"
Yu Yong sighed: "I always thought she was an orphan, but in fact, it was not, she was abducted and trafficked far away when she was four years old.
Although she was later rescued, she could not remember where her home was or what the names of her parents were, and only vaguely remembered that her family had passed away, and there was only a younger brother and sister.
In those years, she had been looking for them, but there was no clue. I want to find them and send her mound back to her hometown. β
Bai Xiu asked, "Then does she remember the names of her younger brother and sister?"
Yu Yong nodded: "She told me that her brother's name is Lan Ling, and her sister's name is Lan Hui."
It's just that there are too many people with the same name in the world, and even if I know their names, it's just a needle in the sea, but no matter what, I won't give up. β
"Lan Ling, Lan Hui ......" Bai Xiu said silently, nodding, "I'll pay attention too, if there is news, how can I contact you?"
"Yes, yes. Wen Lang took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Yu, why don't you stay in Dizhuang first, and talk about other things later." β
Yu Yong smiled lovingly: "Thank you, I'd better go out for a walk more, and the opportunity will come faster." β
The three of them were talking, and I don't know how long it took for a light to suddenly come from the front, and when they went out to take a look, Bai Xiu couldn't help but show surprise.
Yu Yong pointed to the red giant tower in front of him, and finally smiled: "I didn't expect it, in fact, there is a direct passage into the tower under this tower, and when you hid in the Cangling coffin, I was watching from the cat." β
"I see, ......I see" Bai Xiu smiled dumbly, suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yu, how did you find Wen Lang at that time, did you see anyone?"
