Chapter 56, Xu Lao

Hearing what Uncle Hao said, Lin Luxian and the others hurriedly asked him who this person was, and Uncle Hao continued: "There is an old man in this forest, who has lived for more than 120 years! He is the longest-lived person here! It is said that he was the first person to come to this place, and he may be able to read the words on this slate! I have eaten expired biscuits for you before, and I have always felt guilty, if you want to find this old man, I can take you to find him." Besides, the forest is so big that it's easy for you to get lost at night. ”

After reading these words, can you really open the iron door on the third floor of the tower?" Zhu Xinyan said suspiciously

Lan Bingyun returned" At least it doesn't hurt, right. ”

Uncle Hao came to his senses and said, "At first, I found this slate, but I didn't expect so much, and I couldn't see the words on it, so I just used this slate to sharpen kitchen knives. Listening to you say this today, I realized that the characters engraved on this stone slab may really be the key to opening the three-story iron door of the tower!"

"Then I'm sorry for you to lead the way!" Xiao said to Uncle Hao

Lin Luxian and the six of them followed Uncle Hao around the forest for dozens of minutes, and finally came to a wooden house. Uncle Hao came to the door and knocked on the door, "Old Xu, have you slept?"

A moment later, the candles in the room lit and the door opened from the inside. The one who opened the door was an old man, and it was Uncle Hao's old Xu who was right. Although Xu Lao is over 100 years old and his face is full of wrinkles, the beard and hair on his face are still black. Xu Lao's spirit is also very good, he has a cane in his hand and a black sunglasses on his face.

It's Haozi here, come on, come on, come into the house and sit. Xu Lao held the cane with one hand and made a mess on Uncle Hao with the other, and then Uncle Hao took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Xu Lao held his hand.

Dianpu whispered, "This old man is a blind man, it seems that this Uncle Hao has cheated us again... ”

"Yo, Haozi, you also brought guests here, tell them to come into the house together." Although Xu Lao was very old, his ears were still very bright, and he heard what Dian Pu said.

After entering the house, Uncle Hao and Lin Luxian explained their intentions, wanting Xu Lao to see what was written on the slate. Although Xu Lao was blind, he touched the stone slab brought by Uncle Hao with his hand, word by word. When he finished touching it, he translated the words on the stone tablet." After that, every floor of the tower was full of danger and murderous intent. For years, the people in the neighborhood have been trying to climb the tower, but they have stopped at the third floor, they can't read our words, except for a Terran, he is the only one who can read our words, but he has... There were still two lines of words on the slate, but Xu Lao didn't continue to read it, he suddenly looked anxious and fidgeted! He hurriedly ordered Lin Luxian and Uncle Hao to expel the guests! It's getting late, I'm going to rest, please go back!"

"Then, that Xu Lao, shall we come back tomorrow?" Uncle Hao said to Xu Lao

"No, I'm not feeling well, don't come to me in the future!" said Xu Lao loudly

"The only person who can understand the Blue Shura script written on this stone tablet is you, Old!" Lin Luxian said to Xu Lao

"That's right, do you always know the code of the iron gate on the third floor of the tower? Please give me some advice! We have something important to go to the tower, thank you!" Lan Bingyun also begged Xu Laoyang

"Even if there is a big thing, I won't tell you about this tower! You still have to die of this heart! Also, I don't know what you are talking about the Blue Shura clan! Don't come to me again!"

After returning to the house, Xu Lao recalled the first time he came here.

More than 70 years ago, Xu Lao crossed the no-man's land of Xingyi and came to this forest with nine deaths. When he saw the tower, he was fascinated by the majesty of the building! He went to the bottom of the tower and found a door on the first floor of the tower. When he wanted to enter this door, he found that several people with white wings were flying towards him in the sky, and these people landed from the sky and surrounded Xu Lao. Xu Lao also saw these people clearly, these people all had white wings on their backs, and their skin was cobalt blue, and there were men and women among them, because these people had the same characteristics as the human race except for the wings and blue skin on their backs. And these people are the Blue Shura clan!

These people from the Blue Shura clan surrounded Xu Lao and spoke some language to each other that Xu Lao didn't understand at all. Xu Lao was surrounded by these people and was in a panic. The door to the first floor of the tower opened, and more people from the Blue Shura clan walked out inside. These people did not hurt Xu Lao, but enthusiastically took him to visit the tower, but the top and twelfth floors of the tower were never open to Xu Lao! After that, Xu Lao lived with these Blue Shura people and lived in this tower.

In a few years, Xu Lao learned the language of the Blue Shura tribe, and the Blue Shura people also learned about the history and living habits of the human race, and later Xu Lao learned that these Blue Shura people belonged to another world. And in the past few years, he has never reached the top and twelfth floors of the tower, as if these Blue Shura people have an unspeakable secret!

This peaceful life lasted for decades, and after that, more Terrans came here one after another. In order to keep their secret secrets, the Blue Shura people had to replace the third layer of the tower with a password iron door, so that no one else could go up to the third floor of the tower. Not only that, but the Blue Shura people no longer let Xu Lao live in the tower with them, but let Xu Lao move to live in the woods. The Lan Shura clan also told Xu Lao that he must keep it a secret! Xu Lao swore a poisonous oath at that time: "Don't worry, I will never tell you about your existence and everything in this tower! If I break my oath, I will be blind for the rest of my life!"

As more and more Terrans came here, the Blue Shura people had no choice but to go out day and night, taking advantage of the lack of sunlight in this environment to hide their figures.

After living in the woods for a while, Xu Lao felt more and more that something was wrong! Although he was not a race, he had lived together for a few years, why did the Blue Shura clan distrust him so much? Or was it that in the past few years, the Blue Shura clan had let him live in the tower just to understand the way of life of the human race through him? The more Xu Lao thought about it, the more angry he became, and now, he had been driven out of the tower by the Blue Shura clan, and he felt that he had no use value! Xu Lao was depressed in his heart, and he couldn't care about the oath he had made to the Blue Shura clan.

One day not long after, Xu Lao met two young people in the woods, and in the exchange with the young people, Xu Lao revealed the Blue Shura Clan! That night, these two young people took advantage of the night to come to the Touching Heaven Tower, wanting to go to the tower to find the Blue Shura Clan in Xu Lao's mouth. The two young men easily entered the fourth floor of the tower, and the way the iron door at the top of the third floor was opened was exactly what Xu Lao told them, and the iron gate at that time did not have such a complicated password.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Lao opened the door, he saw two corpses in front of the door! They were the two young men who had communicated with him yesterday! Now, these two young men died at the door of their own house, and their eyes were wrapped in a belt, and they were obviously blinded by stabbing eyes! Xu Lao's heart trembled! He knew that he had broken his oath by not controlling his mouth! The two young men who had been harmed died tragically, and their eyes were also blinded! Xu Lao felt guilty in his heart and wanted to bury the bodies of these two people, but when he picked up one of the corpses, he found that there was a dagger under this corpse!

When Xu Lao saw this dagger, he was even more ashamed in his heart, he knew that this dagger was left to him by the Blue Shura clan! Because he had actually sworn a poisonous oath to the Blue Shura clan! After burying the bodies of these two young men, Xu Lao took the dagger and entered the house... Since then, Xu Lao has been blind, he has never mentioned the Blue Shura Clan to anyone in the future, and he has not said a word about the tower!

Today, Uncle Hao brought Lin Luxian and a few people to come and asked him to interpret the Blue Shura script on the slate, which reminded him of what happened before, so he drove Uncle Hao and Lin Luxian out of the house!

After being driven out by Xu Lao, Lin Luxian and the others had no choice but to return with Uncle Hao, and they had to stay at Uncle Hao's house temporarily tonight, and wait for tomorrow morning to climb the tower again.

On the way back, Zhu Xinyan said, "I see what this old man knows! He doesn't seem to have finished reading the words on the slate!"

Ao Yi followed up and said, "That's it, I see that he looked flustered just now, denying that he knew about the Blue Shura Clan, he must have a ghost in his heart!"

Dian Pu said, "Wait until tomorrow morning, I will put the sword around his neck and see if he says anything!"

Uncle Hao said, "If you put the sword on his neck, he won't say it, Xu Lao is very stubborn." It's the first time I've seen him lose his temper today, and maybe he has his own troubles. ”

Back at Uncle Hao's house, Uncle Hao vacated a room for Lin Luxian and the others, and let them stay for one night.

But Lan Bingyun couldn't sleep, she would always remember what Yun Tian Zeng Qi had said to her, Yun Tianqi had said that the Flower and Wood Spirit Clan had the ability to communicate with Hua Mu. Lan Bingyun came to the stream near Uncle Hao's house alone, and by the faint moonlight, she squatted down and stroked a small flower next to the stream, thinking in her heart, how to communicate with flowers and trees? Yun Tianqi said that communicating with flowers and trees requires care. She closed her eyes, caressed the little flower, and let her mind be free of distractions. Soon after, she heard a childish voice, "Hello, wow." Sister!" Lan Bingyun hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find that there was no one else around, and the flower she was stroking had grown a lot, and the flower branches had also spread to her ears. Could it be that this flower was talking to her just now?

Lan Bingyun was shocked, but then there was a burst of joy, she ran to a big tree again, pressed her hand on the big tree, and closed her eyes. Soon after, she heard an old voice, "Hello, little girl of the Flower and Wood Spirit Clan. Lan Bingyun also closed his eyes and communicated with the tree, "Hello, Grandpa Big Tree, are you talking?"

"That's right, it's me, I've lived here for more than a hundred years, it's been a long time since I last saw the Flower and Wood Spirit Clan, seeing you again, I feel a sense of intimacy, little girl, would you like to be closer to me, sit next to my ear and chat with me?"

"Okay, but where are your ears?"

Dashu didn't respond to Lan Bingyun, Lan Bingyun only felt that she was slowly rising, but she didn't dare to open her eyes, nor did she dare to move, she was afraid that the communication with Dashu would be interrupted.

"Okay, what shall we talk about now? Well, I want to see. The sound of the tree sounded again.

Just as Lan Bingyun was about to listen, a burst of applause came from below. Lan Bingyun hurriedly opened his eyes and found that he was standing on a big tree pole of this tree, nearly ten meters high from the ground! Lan Bingyun looked down again, and the person who applauded just now was Xiao.

Xiao raised his head and said, "I didn't expect you to learn to communicate with flowers and trees so quickly, what a talent!"

Lan Bingyun also flew down from the tree pole and said to Xiao, "Why are you here, I didn't see you just now... ”

I don't have to sleep, you just slipped out quietly, how can you hide it from me. Seeing you come out alone, I didn't worry, so I followed you not far behind you. ”

"You're really caring about people more and more, it's like a different person, just like two people who first met you. Lan Bingyun said with relief

Seeing that Xiao was a little embarrassed to be said, Lan Bingyun then asked him, "As soon as I opened my eyes just now, I was standing on the pole of the big tree next to me, I was obviously standing on the ground before, what is going on?"

"Don't you know yourself? You just stood on the ground and touched this big tree, and then you muttered something to it. After that, the roots of this great tree stick out of the soil and carefully carry you up to its poles, and I am so amazed at this scene that I can't help but applaud you... ”

"Great, that is, I have learned to communicate with the flowers and trees?" said Lan Bingyun in disbelief

"It is said that if you master the ability to communicate with flowers and trees, you can drive these flowers and trees, this is a very powerful skill! Lan Bingyun, you have become stronger, presumably our road will be easier in the future, I want to go back and tell everyone the good news, you can continue to practice here." Xiao finished speaking and walked back. Lan Bingyun hurriedly called out to him, "Wait, let's not tell everyone yet, when the time comes, I want to surprise them!"

In the early morning of the second day, after eating the cake made by Uncle Hao, everyone said goodbye to Uncle Hao and prepared to go to the Sky Touching Tower again. This time, they brought Uncle Hao's slate engraved with the words of the Blue Shura tribe. Along the way, everyone was in high spirits, but Lan Bingyun kept yawning... Everyone still didn't give up, and planned to go to Xu Lao's house again and ask for the password about the third-floor iron gate of the Sky Touching Tower.

Dian Fallan said, "Maybe we begged him (threatened) a few more times, and his old man relented and told us the password to open the door?"

When he arrived at Xu's hometown, Lin Luxian knocked on the door, but no one responded. It seems that this Xu Lao is determined not to see a few of them! No matter how Lin Luxian and the others shout, Xu Lao just won't come to open the door. He took a few steps back, threw his big sword aside, and then said to everyone, "This old man is really a toast and doesn't eat and drink!

Everyone couldn't stop it, and the impulsive Dianpu had already slammed into the wooden door of Xu's hometown! But he easily slammed the door of Xu's family's house open, and then hit the cabinet of Xu's family's house, knocking a big hole into Xu's family's cabinet! It turned out that the door of Xu's family's house was not locked, but was only brought on the door frame. Now that the door opened, everyone had to come in, and everyone shouted for Xu Lao, but no one answered in the house.

After everyone entered the house, they searched and found that Xu Lao was not at home, and his clothes and food, even pots and pans were gone! There were only a few large pieces of furniture left in the house that were difficult to move.

"What's this, what's the matter? We're not robbers and bandits! Do you need to hide from us like this?" Ao Yi stomped his feet angrily

I think this old man must know about the Blue Shura Clan! he just doesn't want to tell us. Zhu Xinyan also said

Xiao asked, "Do you want to chase it back, Xu Lao is so old, and he can't go far with so many things alone." ”

"If I catch him, I'll take him with us into the Sky Tower!" said Dianpu angrily

Lan Bingyun said, "Hey, forget it, his old man insists on leaving, and we can't force him to stay." ”

Afterwards, Lin Luxian and the others left Xu's home and went straight to the Sky Touching Tower. The only one who knew the Blue Shura script didn't intend to help them, they were left on their own.
