7. Blackwater Town (4)

With the swing of this punch, the fist wind blew away the fog. And there was a smug look on his face, obviously feeling that victory was under control.

** Said funny: "Yuanji, you lost." ”

Shi Yuanji looked at ** in disbelief, but he didn't know that Wang Tianzong had already bullied him behind him and flicked a chestnut in the back of his head.

He screamed, covered his head, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Tianzong smiling like a child. He fixed his eyes to see what kind of figure he had hit, just a rough mound of mud and snow.

"Boy, are you learning so quickly that yours are starting to use tricks? ”

Li Laiheng saw everything in his eyes, so he withdrew his double whip and watched the competition between the two with peace of mind.

"Come again!" Shi Yuanji's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he stared at Wang Tianzong intently, and began to think about the way to win.

After a while, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said jokingly: "Senior, you are old." ”

"Uh...... What?"

Before Wang Tianzong could react, Shi Yuanji rushed to his side, grabbing his shoulders with both arms. Wang Tianzhong barely dodged, and was about to fight back, but he only felt tripped under his feet and fell to the ground.

Only then did Wang Tianzong realize that Shi Yuanji took advantage of him to dodge, stretched out his legs to block his retreat, which made him fall.

Shi Yuanji unhurriedly lifted Wang Tianzong above his head, and said proudly: "Senior, this time I won." Then he placed him firmly on the ground.

"You kid, relying on your height and age, you actually bully people with your strength!" Wang Tianzong patted the sand on his body and suddenly realized.

"Isn't this what you said about promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses?" Shi Yuanji saluted Wang Tianzong from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Tianzong looked at Shi Yuanjili for a few weeks, smiled very happily, and said to **: "Your apprentice is good, he learns quickly." ”

"You taught it well. Shi Yuanji told the truth.

**Overjoyed, he walked up to the two of them and said happily: "How is it? Dunzi, my apprentice is good, right? I think you should go out of the mountain." ”

Ask yourself, although Wang Tianzong has a strange temper and goes straight, he is not a good ally. But Shi Yuanji still hopes that he can go out of the mountain, and the future beggar army needs a leader like him.

"I won't go out of the mountain!" Wang Tianlong's face turned cold and shook his head. "Don't be complacent, boy. Let's be a competition, not decide life and death. If you want to be motivated, remember what I taught you today. ”

He turned around and said firmly: "It's good to live here, I don't want to get involved in Feng Ho's affairs anymore, my heart is too tired." ”

He looked at the ** and said with some sarcasm: "Big man, I said it wrong, you are not cowardly, you are deep in the city and scheming, I can't compare." ”

** frowned: "How do you say this......"

"I said, I don't go out of the mountain. Wang Tianzong's tone was quite firm. "You are here with me, you should eat and drink. But if you want me to get out of the mountain, no way. ”

After that, he hummed a little song and left on his own, leaving ** and the others in place.

"Alas. ** let out a long sigh and took Shi Yuanji and the others back to the Wang family's mansion.

Despite the failure of the ** plan, the mythical investigation of Blackwater Town will continue. The three of them went to the altar of the mountain god of Tianqi Mountain, intending to see the local folk customs.

"This altar is big enough. As far as Yuan Rang could see, a stone building several feet high stood in the south of Heishui Town, with intricate reliefs carved on it. The incense on the altar was teetering and spotless, apparently often cleaned.

The two of them each picked up a pen and paper, Yuan Rang carefully copied the altar and the reliefs on it, while Shi Yuanji recorded the dictation of **.

** Pointing to the relief of the altar, he said: "This is a dragon-shaped style that only existed in ancient times, called the dragon." The dragon shape in ancient times was not uniform, and different places had their own dragon shapes, which were strange. ”

Different from the common dragon shape, the dragon on the altar has strong limbs, crocodile-like shape, horns like ox, and fins on the tail, which is simple and rough.

"This altar should date back four thousand years, you see, it's square-shaped. And these reliefs are mostly carved in the shade, ancient and clumsy, and most of the stone carvings of 4,000 years are like this. You see, how beautiful these moirés are. ”

Is it said that the carving is very ugly?

Shi Yuanji looked at the very abstract pattern, and his face was a little tangled. If it weren't for the ** explanation, he wouldn't have been able to see that it was a dragon and a cloud, and he would only think that it was carved by the ancients' brains.

"Four thousand years ago, was it because the bones of Shuozhen responded to the worship of mortals at that time, or was it four thousand years ago that mortals settled in Blackwater Town?" Shi Yuanji thought to himself.

"It can be determined that Pangu died in the hands of Xuan Ming, and Chang Xi probably died in the divine war 200,000 years ago, but who made Shuozhen that virtuous? ”

"It's certain that it's not a wolf, he said it was Hotaru who did it...... Could it be that Firefly wants to get the god position of Shuozhen? What about the Xifang Stone? What is he doing here in Pangu Heaven? For Tiankuiyu?"

"He shouldn't have known the essence of Tiankuiyu, otherwise he would have snatched it up a long time ago. Then what purpose did he come to Pangu Heaven? It can't really get rid of the claws, right?"

"Only a fool will believe it!" Shi Yuanji muttered to himself.

Shi Yuanji made up his mind to return to Feng Ho to find a suitable opportunity, so he used his strength to seal the Xi Yu Stone. Anyway, His actions are unpredictable and unreliable, so let Him play with himself.

As for whether he would offend Hotaru, he didn't bother to think about this kind of thing anymore, so he thought it was to avenge Shuozhen.

"From a certain point of view, I'm quite powerful, I can even seal the gods. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt refreshed and his mood became better.

Looking at the relief, he suddenly exclaimed and said excitedly: "This relief is a complete story, from right to left, probably about a murder." ”

"Murder?" Shi Yuanji looked closely at the abstract relief again, but still didn't see anything. "Senior brother, do you see that?"

"Uh...... No. Yuan Rang shrugged his shoulders, smiled and finished speaking, and continued to draw the relief onto the paper.

"This is the art of four or five thousand years old, and it is indeed a little difficult for people to understand now. ** did not get angry, but explained carefully.

"The one on the far right is about a woman holding another woman's head and fleeing into the mountains. The second is that behind the woman, there is a little boy chasing her. ”

Next, two men blocked the chasing boy and fought him. The boy and a man stabbed each other, and the boy fled wounded. ”

"Another man stabbed the man to death at the foot of the mountain, and then prayed with the woman, and then the man ascended to heaven and became the god of the mountain who blessed everything below?"

** At the end of the interpretation, I was not very confident, and my tone slowed down significantly.

Yuan Rang burst out laughing, and the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground: "The ancients four thousand years ago really knew how to make up stories, this killed that, that killed this, and in the end they became gods." Yuanji, do you think this story is?"

Yuan Rang looked up at Shi Yuanji and found that his gaze stopped on the relief on the far left, dumbfounded. He had no choice but to touch Shi Yuanji to make him sober up.

"Motoyoshi, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just think it's incredible. Shi Yuanji came to his senses, laughed dryly, and continued to record the words of **.

"That's good. Yuan Rang didn't care and continued to paint the reliefs.

Through the interpretation of **, Shi Yuanji finally understood the origin of Shuozhen's bones.

Wangshu took Chang Xi's remains and was chased and killed by a certain god and had to flee for his life, but Shuo Zhen rescued Wangshu, but he also took his own body.

"Who is it that shot with Shuo Zhen? By the way, the Yuanliu Sword sealed Shuo Zhen's bones and kept it for 200,000 years, so is it Tai Sui?"

"In the relief, how is he a little boy? is it a metaphor or is he just showing people in the form of a child?"

"The gods are fighting to the death, and I don't even know what they're fighting, and the gods are really incomprehensible. ”

After recording everything, he looked at the last relief and couldn't help but sigh.

On the top of the mountain, a sitting skeleton floated on the top of the mountain, with light scattered around it, and a sword stuck in its chest. Wherever the light goes, everything grows, and everyone dances with joy and hands.

Probably this is the impression that Shuozhen's bones gave to the ancients, Shi Yuan Jixin said.

**Looking at the sacrifices on the altar, all rice and vegetables, he smiled and said, "It seems that this mountain god is quite kind, let's worship it too." ”

With that, he bent down and bowed his hand reverently.

Although he knew that Shuozhen could not feel their respect, Shi Yuanji still respectfully saluted like his teacher.

When I have a chance, I'll go to Amaki to find you, Shi Yuanji made a promise in his heart.

......

"Yuan Zongdi, you can't stop asking, right? Li Laiheng was lying on the bed, and he couldn't stand Yuan Zongdi's interrogation anymore.

Yuan Zongdi looked at Li Laiheng in confusion, stopped talking, bit his lip and thought for a moment, took two steps back and asked, "Old Li, are you not afraid at all?"

Li Laiheng said impatiently: "I'm afraid of what I'm going to do with Hou Hou? There are more people who are more terrible than him." Have you ever seen an old man who can manipulate a corpse? Have you ever seen a dragon that can call the wind and rain?"

"What is there to be afraid of, he is just a natural disaster, not a man-eating monster. Forget it, I won't tell you, I'll leave for Hongsang Town in a while. ”

He got out of bed, folded the quilt, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "That bull Venus, can you still contact him?"

"What are you looking for him?" Yuan Zongdi looked at Li Laiheng vigilantly.

Li Laiheng picked up the double whip and said disdainfully: "What's the matter? I paid for your food and drink all the way, and I bought you a horse, and my money is still given by Hou Hehou, so I won't let you do me a favor?"

"If you don't want to continue to hide in the mountains, this is a method, you can do it yourself. ”

After that, Li Laiheng walked out without looking back.

"You didn't make it clear. ”

Yuan Zongdi sighed helplessly, so he had to follow.
