Chapter 385: Confession
It was night, in a ruined town, where the Gutongs were camping.
In the middle of the night, everyone went into their tents to rest.
In front of the red bonfire, only two figures remained vigil.
It is the mud bodhisattva and the ancient.
This scene is so similar to the night a few days ago, but it is completely different.
Because today the mud bodhisattva surprisingly did not drink.
After getting along in the past few days, everyone also has a little understanding of the mud bodhisattva.
Although the mud bodhisattvas are powerful and have mysterious identities, they more or less point out their own shortcomings in their daily interactions.
What's even more interesting is that the mud bodhisattva loves fine wine, and he likes barbecue to the extreme.
Especially after tasting Murong Yu's craftsmanship, the mud bodhisattva's love for barbecue has deepened by several points.
clamoring to ask Murong Yu to cook for him every day, which gave Murong Yu a headache every day.
But behind all this hard work is the mud bodhisattva's careful guidance to Murong Yu.
In just a few days, Murong Yu actually faintly had a tendency to break the mirror.
This surprised Murong Yu at the same time, but also shocked everyone.
Gu Tong held a wooden stick in his hand, and stirred up the bonfire from time to time, and in the scarlet bonfire, there was a crisp popping sound, which was extremely crisp in this dark night.
"Gu Tong, how is your mother doing?"
The mud bodhisattva suddenly broke the silence and asked a somewhat strange question.
Hearing the mud bodhisattva's sudden question, Gu Tong was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and he was really a little shocked by his question.
Because he really didn't expect that this mysterious mud bodhisattva would know so much about them.
But the next moment, Gu Tong reacted, thought rationally for a moment, and said slowly.
"Should... It's okay..."
When he said this, Gu Tong's face was gloomy, his eyes were lowered, and his palm was holding the wooden stick in his hand, hinting at the pain in his heart.
Fine cracks spread from the sticks, as if they would burst into a pile of shards in the next moment.
"Alas, old things. ”
The mud bodhisattva sighed, his ugly facial features trembling slightly, like the heavy bark of an ancient tree, full of entanglement and struggle.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these sad things, let's get down to business. ”
As soon as the words turned, the mud bodhisattva's tone became serious, and even the ugly face had a trace of majesty.
"Where's the green lotus lantern?"
The simple and direct question, like a boulder weighing 10,000 pounds, suddenly crushed the atmosphere at this time to the extreme.
Gu Tong froze in place, shocked and frightened by the mud bodhisattva's question.
Why is everyone here looking for the Blue Lotus Lantern?
What is the secret and attraction of the Qinglian lantern that is worthy of their crazy and obsessive fight for it?
Countless questions have sprung up in his mind since ancient times, making him a little distracted.
"Hey, Gu Tong, where is the Qinglian lantern?"
The mud bodhisattva shouted again, waking Gu Tong up from his distraction.
He looked at the mud bodhisattva with a nervous face, his heartbeat slowly accelerated, and his muscles tensed, like a cheetah that would fly out at any moment.
Seeing that Gu Tong was so nervous, the mud bodhisattva helped his forehead with a headache and said helplessly.
"The Qinglian lantern is indeed very important, and the things that arise because of it and the things that are related to it are too many for the number of people to come. ”
"But I'm telling you, you'd better get it to me quickly, or something big will happen. ”
The more the mud bodhisattva spoke, the more excited he became, his chapped lips grinned, revealing two rows of black and yellow ugly teeth, and countless spittle stars splashed, making Gu Tong subconsciously get up and dodge.
What shocked him was not the sudden change of attitude of the mud bodhisattva, but what he had just said.
The origin of the blue lotus lantern is mysterious, even if someone knows something about it, they still can't understand the mystery.
It can be seen from the words of the mud bodhisattva that he not only knows something about the blue lotus lantern, but even knows more secrets that are not known.
This made Gu Tong even more jealous and wary of the identity of the mud bodhisattva.
Seeing that he was self-defeating, the mud bodhisattva covered his face with grief, and had the urge to smoke himself.
"The old man is called the mud bodhisattva, and the second princess sent me to protect you. ”
"So, you stinky boys, stop guessing, hurry up and give me the Qinglian lantern, so that you can make trouble for me in the future. ”
Hearing that the mud bodhisattva finally revealed his identity, Gu Tong's face stiffened and froze in place, not only was he not shocked, but looked at the mud bodhisattva with a suspicious expression.
There was a look of wonder and disbelief in those eyes.
The mud bodhisattva was too lazy to argue with Gu Tong about anything, grabbed the void in his palm, held a knife in his hand, and threw it directly to Gu Tong.
Gu Tong caught the knife, and when he looked closely, his eyes slowly widened.
Because this knife is the token that Evander gave to Editix.
With the proof of the token, the vigilance in Gu Tong's heart suddenly disappeared, and he slowly came to sit down in front of the mud bodhisattva, played with the knife in his hand, and smiled bitterly.
"What's the secret of the Blue Lotus Lantern? He's so worthy of you people fighting for it?"
This question has appeared in Gu Tong's mind countless times, and each time it appears, it is like a feather playing with Gu Tong's heart, making him feel like a numb.
The mud bodhisattva folded his arms around his chest, his brows furrowed, and the look of thinking hard but not getting the result made the bits in front of the bonfire a little heavier.
Suddenly, he looked up at Gu Tong suddenly, his ugly facial features twisted together, revealing a not-so-good-looking smile.
"Let's make a deal. ”
"What I ask, you answer, and vice versa. ”
"Of course, none of these things can be proven by a third party to be true or false, so ......"
"So we can both tell lies, right? ”
Gu Tong casually interrupted the mud bodhisattva's words, but his eyes flashed with eagerness.
Being able to get information from an informed population is several times easier than exhausting and searching for it.
The mud bodhisattva smiled and clapped his hands, also a little interested in this.
But in the next second, the muddy eyes of the mud bodhisattva lit up, and a deep and long vortex rose in his eyes, flashing with an indescribable mysterious light.
"Okay, I'll ask first... When the lights are on... What do you see..."
A hoarse voice echoed across the desert, and scarlet bonfires were tumbling violently.
The old and the young sat quietly opposite each other, silent, like two armies facing each other in a chess game, engaged in an invisible and terrifying fight.
After a few breaths, Gu Tong's tense body suddenly relaxed, took a deep breath, and said.
"I saw nine-colored lights burning on the Qinglian lantern, and then there were many nine-colored auspicious clouds. ”
Gu Tong's words stopped abruptly, and he made a gesture of invitation to the mud bodhisattva with a smile on his face, indicating that he had finished speaking.
The mud bodhisattva's face was a little stiff, and the green tendons on his forehead were stirring, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
Finally, he gave up struggling, sighed, and said.
"More than ten years ago, that is, before the first generation of Xingtian was ordered to investigate the extermination of the Ka clan, the Qinglian Lantern had already appeared on Mercury. ”
"This piece of information doesn't seem to have much value. ”
Gu Tong smiled at the mud bodhisattva sunshine, and his words seemed to say that he did not accept this information.
Unexpectedly, the mud bodhisattva didn't care about this, and waved his hand with some disgust, putting on a look of ignoring it.
Gu Tong was dumbfounded, thought for a moment, and said.
"After the nine-colored auspicious clouds appeared, I saw a person. ”
As the words fell, the mud bodhisattva's body showed a trace of extremely slight stiffness, but the next moment it returned to its original state, as if nothing had been heard.
"After the Qinglian lantern appeared, it was contested by the major tribes of Mercury, and finally it intensified, making the whole Mercury machine restless. ”
But after a big war, the blue lotus lantern disappeared. ”
The mud bodhisattva also threw out a little temptation, and kept hanging on to the information and did not let go.
"I saw a monk in a nine-colored robe. ”
Gu Tong didn't want to have any reservations, and directly threw out the biggest chip in his hand.
Seeing Gu Tong's determination, the mud bodhisattva was secretly surprised, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, his dry palms patted his thighs excitedly, and tears flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Then, the laughter dissipated, and the mud bodhisattva's gaze fell on Gu Tong and said coldly.
"After that, the blue lotus lantern reappeared in the world, but no one dared to think about it anymore, because the ... It's the Ka clan..."
Immortal war song
