Chapter 841: Determined to see the truth
Son, this is crazy.
Father thought so.
Sitting back in front of the stove, Song Caiji saw that his father's face was cloudy, and said with a smile: "Father and rest assured, I didn't harm anyone, these bones were dug up from the grave by my own hands, I went out in the middle of the night every day, and came back with a sack before dawn, none of you found out, this house is not well guarded enough, my father should ask a few more house slaves to patrol under the courtyard wall, otherwise I don't know if I enter the thief one day." ”
The father did not speak at that time, nor did he continue to interrogate the details, but quietly withdrew, instructed the family to lock the door, and then immediately went to call Lang Zhong.
After a while, Lang Zhong came, and when he unlocked it again, his father found that Song Caijie was no longer in the house.
I searched the entire room, but I couldn't find his figure.
The doors and windows are all closed from the inside, and the window pins are on, although the design of the window pins is simple, and you can close them on the outside with bamboo chips, but outside the window is a pond, and there are several old slaves and maids drying sheets on the opposite side of the pond;
The father leaned on the window and asked loudly, and learned that these old women had not walked away, and had not noticed the movement of Song Caijie jumping out of the window and jumping into the pond.
Father and Lang Zhong were stunned in the room, looking at the messy copper furnace and the bones on the ground, confused.
Song Caizhen disappeared like a wisp of air.
He also took a book and a pile of manuscript paper with strange symbols written on them.
Since then, the Song family has never seen Song Caiji appear again, he is like dead, and there is no news in the world.
Speaking of which, Nangong Douling seemed to understand something.
She asked Wuliang, "You are the young master of the Song family, Song Caiji?"
Wuliang nodded, "If my father hadn't locked the door at that time and went to find Lang Zhong, I wouldn't have left." I love my family. But he thought I was crazy, he was a stubborn man, and he would definitely not change that idea for the rest of his life, and I had no need to stay in front of him to block him. I let him down, he made me despair. I thought he would at least let me explain, but he didn't even give me the chance. ”
"Occult alchemy, I've heard of it, it's a lost book. ”
"It's not lost, it's always been in my hands, it's just that I haven't let it come out and see people. Its appearance will be a disaster for some. Wuliang said, palm up, a thick black book appeared in his hand.
He held it up and handed it to Nangong Douling, "However, if it's you, you can watch it." ”
Nangong Douling was a little flattered, "Treat me so favorably? Could it be a trap? I don't want to cause disaster inexplicably." ”
But even if it is a trap, with the courage of Nangong Douling, she still dares to open it.
Whether it's a disaster or not, if it does come, she's determined to see it.
Since the naming could only be seen by Nangong Douling alone, Dai Zexing and Li Xuduan both had expressions of curiosity on their faces, and they didn't come over to take a peek.
Nangong Douling stroked the delicate book cover, her hand felt as if it was alive, and she felt that the book seemed to be breathing.
There was a wave of consternation.
Immeasurable smile: "Surprising, the first time I touched it, I was also terrified, it was like life." But it didn't, it was only because it was covered with protective spells that it was filled with energy. ”
"Spells of protection?"
"It's the seal. The people who wrote this book don't want it to be ruined. ”
Nangong Douling opened the black book with curiosity, and it was full of many English and patterns.
The handwriting is sloppy and you have to be very careful to distinguish it.
Fortunately, she is good at English, and she read two pages all the way, and it was unimpeded.
Wuliang suddenly leaned over and pressed the pages with his big hand, "The first two pages are enough, and if you continue to read it, you will devour the book, become like me, addicted to it, and never be able to get out." ”
"Really?"
"It was on the third page that I realized I couldn't put the book down. It caught me, trapped me, chose me, and anyone who turned to the third page could not escape this fate. ”
Immeasurable stared at her, "Are you sure you want to go my way?"
Nangong Douling was shocked by his bottomless eyes.
No, she didn't want to be like him.
Like a man who has endured all the sufferings of the world, he exudes countless sorrows.
Nangong Douling thought of Chen Xuansheng, and he was simply the opposite pole of his master Chen Xuansheng.
Chen Xuansheng looks like he never knows what it is like to be exposed to frost and sun;
Wuliang was like a hard-working fisherman who had just stepped off a fishing boat returning from a long voyage, and the suffering was deeply engraved in his bones.
She didn't want to become such a melancholy character.
Slowly closed the book jacket and returned it to him.
"I don't need this book," Nangong Douling said, "The spells of my own sect are enough." Don't be too greedy, not everything you can't get is good for yourself. A lot of things, but it's better if you don't get them. ”
Immeasurable said: "If I had this kind of consciousness like you, I would not have turned the third page, but I was blinded by greed at that time, and I always wanted to understand the world thoroughly, thinking that the more secrets I knew, the better, but I lost my original life. ”
He easily changed the book away, causing Dai Zexing and Li Xuxuan to be disappointed for a while, it seems that the two of them really want to read the previous page, but they have no choice but not to give them this benefit.
Nangong Douling comforted the two, "I didn't write anything on the first two pages, I just kept explaining how dangerous the mystical alchemy was." It's almost the same as not looking. ”
Immeasurable retorted, "No, it's not superfluous, you just lost the courage to turn the page, didn't you? The reason why it's redundant is because those people ignore these two pages, and those who ignore the contents of these two pages, go straight to the third page, and they won't be trapped." Only those who have savored its meaning will be able to find the trick of turning the third page correctly. So this book passed through the hands of many people, but it didn't pull them all into the water. Because none of these people read the beginning of it as carefully as you do. ”
Nangong Douling folded his arms, "What does your background have to do with my mother?"
"That book was the occasion for your mother's appearance. "Wuliang was not called Wuliang at that time, his name was Song Caiji, he used to be a pampered young master, enjoying flowers and riding horses every day, dancing and writing, and bowing in the alley with the little guys, and nothing bothered him.
He gave up continuing to gain fame, which made his father love and hate him.
It wasn't until he began to practice the mysteries of alchemy that his father immediately regarded him as a mad demon in his heart.
He used the stealth Dafa of alchemy to leave the room that his father had locked with his own hands.
At the age of seventeen, he embarked on the road of wandering the world.
He traveled from south to north and from east to west, still immersed in the study of alchemy.
He realized that he couldn't stop, that it was the book that tempted him.
He made up his mind countless times to close the book and bury it deep in the dirt.
