Chapter 6: The Underground Village (6)
After sending the villagers away, the village chief took them to the ancestral mourning hall.
"What did you bring us here for?" Bao Yueyue and the village chief had met before, so they were more familiar, and it was easier to communicate with each other than others, so she was in charge.
"Nothing? I just found an antiquity, maybe it has something to do with the method of getting out of here, but it's written in Western. I came to you in the hope that we could determine the specific meaning of these contents, and perhaps not only could you leave here, but also the situation of the villagers could find a reasonable answer? ”
"Answer?" Even if he was born in a customs family and traveled back and forth to Quanzhou every day, he saw all kinds of foreigners, but he didn't necessarily speak English, so he might not be able to read and understand what he found. It's okay to come to them. It's just that the secret of the villagers here - Bao Yueyue is actually just curious.
The village chief is also true, for those who have only met for five or six hours, they unconditionally choose to believe: "According to Baoyueyue, I arrived here in the Later Tang Dynasty, and now it has been a thousand years since I watched it." But you can see it - to this day, there is no change in my appearance. When I think about it, this is true of every villager here. I have never heard of a family that has had many births, old age, sickness and death. ”
"There is no birth, old age, sickness and death!?" This kind of narration was obviously beyond Bao Yueyue's comprehension, and she could only watch blankly as the village chief turned to communicate with Murong Ao.
"The ancients tried a hundred times in vain to cultivate the elixir in order to achieve immortality, but now it is easy to achieve the dream pursued by countless people here. If it can be brought to everyone in this world, then the families of the people in the future will not have to suffer from joys and sorrows. In fact, the village chief discovered the world here very early, and the time became extremely long, but as she stayed here longer and longer, she gradually became accustomed to the speed of time change here. However, one day, during her routine worship, she accidentally discovered a secret door behind the tablet in the ancestral temple.
And all the secrets were discovered there, which also changed her mind. So from that day on, she devoted herself to research, and the affairs of the village were all handed over to the housekeeper. In the end, he simply faked his death and stayed in this secret room for many years. This is the first time that Bao Yueyue and the others have entered here except for the village chief herself.
In the secret room, scattered all over the floor are the papyrus that the village chief has studied for so many years.
"You see, this is the secret of this village." Contrary to what Bao Yueyue imagined, the so-called record of the secrets of Western languages is not the paper that exists in the shadows or gradually, but the wall on the opposite side.
After seeing it, Murong Coo couldn't help but marvel, "This ...... This is a space that doesn't exist!? ”
"What doesn't exist?" The village chief didn't understand what Murong Cod meant. She has been studying here for many years, and it is the only Chinese character in all the literature. But what it meant, she couldn't figure it out for a long time. The day's research is nothing more than speculation.
"There's no immortal path here, so it doesn't fulfill your wishes." Murong Hao knew that telling the truth would inevitably deal a big blow to the village chief who had been studying this way for so many years in order to free the people of the world from the sea of suffering, but this was the case, so he had to speak up.
"Why is that?" His years of hard work were completely overturned, and anyone would collapse on the spot, so the village chief's performance was quite calm, but it was obvious that his complexion had changed.
"This matter may be difficult to accept for a while, but the wood is already in the boat, please stop being obsessed with this, and serve the people in the village more." Murong Coo still refused to explain why there was no prescription for immortality.
The village chief has lived here for a thousand years, no matter how he says it, and there is no doubt about his ability to observe words and colors. She could see that Murong Hao's embarrassment was not intentionally trying to hide it, but it was indeed beneficial for this matter to be known by too many people. So she simply stopped insisting on it, "Since Shaoxia doesn't want to say more, forget it." - Sure enough, destiny is hard to change. The village chief left the seven of them in and left with her men.
"What the hell is going on?" Bao Yueyue read and understood English, but Murong Hao only knew the specific situation after a few glances, so she didn't look at it carefully. I thought it would be better to let Murong Coo give his own answer directly.
"Nothing? It's just an interpretation of the reason for the existence of this space-time. Murong Cod obviously had to hide part of the truth, and then left, and followed the village chief outside with Calm.
Bao Yueyue shook her head after the two of them left, and said, "Murong Coo, your acting skills have not only improved over the years, but also become more and more clumsy. Just like that, you want to fool me, and you underestimate my big man's IQ. With that, he slipped out. The others did not choose to follow suit, and continued to stay in the room to observe the entire mural. After all, they didn't have Murong Ao's ability to look at ten lines, and if they didn't look carefully, they were likely to miss any details. The little fox was the most exaggerated of all, because he knew that he would be able to leave the underground village with the secrets in this mural, so he was extremely serious, and he was afraid of missing any detail, so his head was about to be pressed against the wall.
Jiang Yue was also there when he came out, and he knew that he couldn't help him leave here, so he didn't bother their conversation, and sat at the door alone with his eyes closed and concentrated on cultivating.
At this time, Bao Yueyue suddenly appeared, and of course he could detect it. Jiang Yue, who was taken aback, subconsciously wanted to leave, but was stopped by Bao Yueyue, "Don't move!" You'll be found out by them. You just continue to pretend to cultivate and let me hide behind you. ”
"But this ......" has the most ghost ideas every time. In the past, Jiang Yue basically followed him with one eye closed, but now the situation is different. This is a secret related to the village. So Jiang Yue was a little hesitant to consider whether to stop Bao Yueyue from doing this kind of thing.
But Bao Yueyue was one step ahead of him, and in turn persuaded him, "Jiang Yue, you can't think so about this matter." I'm doing this all to rescue Jiang Yue as soon as possible. "This sentence of Bao Yueyue is half true and false. After hearing Bao Yueyue say this, Jiang Yue really quieted down, and moved his body to completely block Bao Yueyue. As for himself, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be still cultivating. In doing so, he just escaped the sight of Calm and Murong Cod. After seeing that this sentence had an effect, Bao Yueyue continued to coax and say, "I will risk my life to make a blood oath with you for, you should know very well." I promised to rescue Jiang Yue, so I absolutely have to do what I say. But-I don't have any clues at all now, and now, the man in black has finally been caught, if I can get the secret out of his mouth, maybe I can see Jiang Yue faster. But they talked alone and did not dare to say it to our faces, that there must be something to hide from us. ”
"But—maybe it's just a secret about the village." Murong Cod was indeed somewhat persuaded by Bao Yueyue, but he still didn't believe that it was necessary for Calm and Murong Coo to deliberately hide anything.
"You're stupid!" Bao Yueyue saw that Jiang Yue was almost convinced, so she continued to exert force: "If they only know the secret about the village, why do they even need to hide it from me." I brought you here, and I had already seen the village chief's face before that. In other words, if I hadn't introduced you, don't let the village chief bring everyone here to contact the secrets of the village, and you would still be kept in the dark whether she is a man or a woman. So, if they're trying to hide it from me, it must mean that there's something bad they don't want me to know. Why? It's very simple, because if it's something related to Jiang Yue, I'll definitely tell you. So that's the real reason why they didn't let me get involved, and that was that they were afraid that I would reveal the secret. Regardless, this is the only possibility that is the most likely right now. ”
"Okay. But after listening to their conversation, you have to keep your mouth shut. Since they don't want anyone else to know. In this way, Jiang Yue was persuaded by Bao Yueyue's success.
