Chapter 534: A Strange Paradise
The disciple was a little strange and said, "What's wrong with Yang Gongzi?"
"Nothing. Yang Xianmao replied casually and continued to walk forward, but his mind kept recalling the scene he had just seen.
It was so strange that he walked out of the way, and turned his head to look at the other side of the river, and sure enough, it was still the same, the farmer who was plowing the field had been hoeing in the same place, and the hoe was raised and dug down in the same place, and the peasant woman who was weaving with the door open in the house threw the shuttle in her hand and threw it over, and repeated this action, and there was no other stepping on the machine or anything like that. The lady who was washing clothes by the river, on a bluestone slab, kept beating a piece of clothing with a laundry stick, and heard the sound of crackling, which was always in the same place, and on the same side, she did not turn the heavy clothes over and beat it, nor did she put it in the water to wash, but just repeated the same action mechanically.
It's really strange, Yang Xianmao thought to himself, the people here are too strange. Further on, they saw a shepherd boy playing a bamboo flute walking towards them.
Yang Xianmao looked at him, nodded and smiled, but the smile quickly froze, because he found that the shepherd boy riding on the ox, riding the big bull, walked forward for a while, turned around and walked back, walked back to the place where he had just started, as if he had no head. But the shepherd boy was full of innocence, playing the bamboo flute, but the tune of the flute was the same sentence over and over again.
It's really weird, Yang Xianmao thought to himself, so he lowered his head and didn't look at the shepherd boy, walked past him, and chatted with the disciple without saying a word.
The disciple didn't notice Yang Xianmao's strange appearance, he was just praising them for their beautiful scenery and simple folk customs in this underground cave, under the leadership of the Crypt King, they lived a carefree life in a paradise, although the time was short, but everyone lived happily.
They walked forward for a while, came to a stone arch bridge, this stone arch bridge on both sides of the stairs, in the middle of the walking carriage and horses, they stepped on the stairs to go up, Yang Xianmao looked down at the stairs, his eyes were straight again. - He found that there was something wrong with the arched bridge, for it was so new, and the stones on it were neat and new, as if they had just been washed, and there was no trace of walking on it.
He stepped on it, leaving clear footprints, but there were no footprints left in front of him, as if to pass through a new stone arch bridge that had just been built, and the passage in the middle of the arch bridge was also very neat, without any rut marks.
He turned his head to look, but he clearly saw that there was a car on the road through the stone arch bridge, and then he went forward, it should have been a car that had just walked through the stone arch bridge, and the car did not leave any rut marks? Because the road was dirt, the wheels of the car should be stained with mud, but the bridge was so clean, as if it had just been washed, and there was no trace of mud ruts.
Yang Xianmao saw an old man pushing a wheelbarrow in front of him, straddling the rope of the wheelbarrow on his shoulders, and two bags of grain were placed on the wheelbarrow, walking forward with a shout, followed by a child, tied with a pigtail, jumping and following beside him.
Yang Xianmao's heart moved, and he suddenly accelerated his pace, trotted to catch up with the old man, and ignored the disciples behind him who shouted at him.
When he came to the old man's side, Yang Xianmao said, "Old man, where are you going?"
The old man didn't seem to hear him at all, and pushed the cart forward alone, wheezing, and said to the child from time to time: "Hurry up, keep up!"
Then, the child agreed, "Okay, I'm coming!" and jumped forward, Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head and asked the jumping child, "This little brother, where are you going?"
The kid didn't seem to see Yang Xianmao, but just jumped up and down and repeated the promise as he walked, "Okay, I'm here!"
At this time, the disciple caught up, Yang Xianmao stood still, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xianmao said: "I wanted to say a few words to them, but the ancestors and grandchildren ignored me and only cared about them talking to themselves." ”
The disciple smiled reluctantly and said, "Shanye Villager, I haven't seen anything in the world, so Yang Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Yang Xianmao looked at their distant backs, full of suspicion. At this time, the disciple told him to take another road, so they diverged from the avenue, took the path, passed through a peach forest, and saw a large mansion.
There were two soldiers with swords walking back and forth at the door, and when they saw them coming, they quickly bowed and saluted.
The disciple walked in with him, came to the lobby, and instructed the attendants to hurry up and inform the leader that Yang Gongzi was coming.
After a while, I saw a few people coming out from behind the screen. The first one was a sharp-beaked monkey with cheeks, eyes dripping and rolling, clothes of earthy brown, and the fingers of his hands were thin, long, and pointy. The disciple made an introduction, and this person was the Crypt King, the leader of the Crypt People.
The Crypt King arched his hand and said, "Young Master Yang, I have already heard about you, so I asked my disciple to help you." The Moon Queen is really too much, for the magic weapon on Yang Gongzi's body, she actually chased Yang Gongzi with all her might, and finally even attracted a meteorite bombardment from outside the sky, such a big battle, even when he fought with us, he rarely used it, and he actually used it to deal with a weak scholar like Yang Gongzi, it was really vicious. Childe, don't worry, when you come to me, everything is safe for you, with me covering, the goddess can't help you. ”
Yang Xianmao returned the salute and said: "On the way, I heard Ling Gao's disciple introduce your situation, and I deeply sympathize, you only have eight or nine days of life, and you want to soar to adulthood, this wish is understandable, I hope to do my best to help you, but my ability is shallow, I don't know if I can help." ”
Before entering this underground cave, Yang Xianmao also decided to help them refine defensive magic weapons because he was grateful for the other party's life-saving grace, as long as he could get suitable materials, he could even help them refine defensive magic weapons with the tongue of the Flood Desolate God Crocodile, he is now a sixth-level refiner, and the things he practiced are still quite powerful, because they are immortal products. Maybe he could help them pass through the dragon gate, but now he changed his mind, just because he saw those strange things on the road, and he was not ready to hand over his bottom to the other party until the speculation in his heart was verified.
The Crypt King smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's so good, Childe is so righteous, it's really a great blessing for our Crypt People." Childe, please take a seat. Serve tea!"
After Yang Xianmao and the guests were seated, the maid came up to serve fragrant tea. The Crypt King asked Yang Xianmao, "Yang Gongzi is from the human world, isn't it? It's really enviable, I'm afraid I'm not used to it when I come here, right?"
"I've been here for two days, in fact, I was forcibly brought by a person, after I came, I couldn't find him, and I was caught by the people of the Honghuang tribe, and finally the Moon Queen's people chased me inexplicably, probably because they all wanted the magic weapon on my body to break through the dragon gate, this kind of robbery is really cold. ”
The Crypt King smiled and said, "Don't worry, when you come to me, you can put your heart in your stomach with peace of mind, I will neither rob or rob you, nor will I deceive you with clever words, nor even want to exchange any treasure for your magic weapon." Of course, if you fancy any of my magic weapons and offer to exchange them, that is not unavoidable. That's if you bring it up first, I won't take the initiative to mention it, and I won't put any pressure on you, so don't worry. ”
Yang Xianmao gratefully arched his hand and said: "Thank you! I also want to leave here and return to our human world, I heard that you can return to the human world by breaking through the dragon gate, I want to see if there is such a possibility to return to the human world, there are still my family and my relatives and friends." ”
The Crypt King slapped his thigh and said, "Actually, I think the same way, but I'm worried that you will misunderstand." Since Childe also has this idea, then let's go to the Dragon Gate to have a look, and see if Childe's magic weapon is possible to break through the Dragon Gate and leave here. However, according to our calculations, it will be three days before the gantry will open again. So let's go again in three days. ”
Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment and said, "Three days later, I heard that your lifespan is only nine days at most, and your King of the Three Realms only has a lifespan of ten days. It only opens once every three days, which means that if it is opened once every three days, you will only have three chances in your life to break through the dragon gate and ascend to adulthood?"
The Crypt King said with a wry smile: "In fact, in many cases, there are not even three times, because it is not necessarily opened once in three days, sometimes it is four days or five days, it is good to encounter one or two times in a lifetime, of course, if you are lucky, you can encounter it about four times." However, as far as I know, very few people can break through the dragon gate and ascend to adulthood, so if Childe can help us this time, we will have a much better chance, and everything depends on Childe. ”
Yang Xianmao said: "Three days? After three days, the king is afraid that he will have seven or eight days, and his life will be exhausted."
The Crypt King sighed and said, "Yes, today is my fourth day, and I am in middle age. In three more days I will already have seven days, and I have a maximum of three days of life left, if I can fly to adulthood in seven days, and live to be a hundred years old, I can live for twenty or thirty years, which is very cost-effective, if I can't live, I can only hand over the baton to my inheritor. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded with emotion and said, "Your desire to go forward and succeed and soar to adulthood is really amazing. ”
The Crypt King said, "I heard that Yang Gongzi has several magic weapons, and two of them are very helpful for us to break through the Dragon Gate. One is a kind of soft armor that wraps around the whole body, and the other is a scale shield wall that can cover the entire person in it, which seems to be made of the scale armor of the Flood God Crocodile. The Flood Desolation God Crocodile is the king beast in our Flood Desolation Continent, including the Tyrannosaurus is not its opponent, there are only two in total. We humans didn't dare to provoke, let alone hunt them, but we didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Yang Gongzi. Yang Gongzi really won the creation of heaven and earth. At the same time, we don't have any decent refiners here, and even if we go through all the trouble to get these raw materials, no one can refine them into magic weapons. As long as we can't refine the magic weapon, then there is no way to help us break through the dragon gate, I think this is the reason why everyone wants to get these two magic weapons. ”
