Chapter 116: Finding the Key
In fact, the businessman was willing to spend a sky-high price to hire Xiao Bai and Sang Yuan, but he was lucky, hoping that they would accept the monster and save his youngest son, but he would not know that his son did not die in the mouth of the monster, but traveled through time and space and came to the Republic of China for 28 years, just like us.
According to Sang Yuan, the Demons of Time are a little similar to ordinary beasts, that is, the 'Beast Path', which means that they only follow the familiar path, but the difference is that they take the 'Time' path, that is, no matter where we encounter it, we will be taken to 1939.
Unfortunately, Xiao Bai only read about the Demon of Time in a science fiction novel that no one cared about, although the author claimed that it was his personal experience, and the details were true and detailed, as if he was quite familiar with this strange creature, but except Xiao Bai, no one believed in its authenticity.
Xiao Bai also tried to contact the author, but unfortunately the author had been missing for more than a year at that time, and the circulation of his works was dismal, and the book was soon not found on the market.
There are countless things in the world and the universe that human beings cannot understand and understand, and for me, who has fallen into the cracks of time and experienced the regression of life every day, this kind of strange talk is not so difficult to accept.
What we should be concerned about now is to find the 'key' as soon as possible, and then find a way to go back to 2014, and there is another question raised by Wu Feng, who is curious why Xiao Bai and Sang Yuan were hunted down and killed by the spies of the island country.
By answering this question, Sang Yuan told us about the history of the Anti-Japanese War, which was in July 1939. The Palace Museum in Beiping once smuggled more than 9,000 boxes of national treasure-level cultural relics to Leshan and secretly hid them in six ancestral halls in Angu Town.
And spent seven years under the protection of the guards and the people of Angu, and the Japanese army bombed Leshan three times during this period, and some towns were even bombed into a sea of fire, but Angu Town escaped again and again due to dark clouds.
When the Japanese learned that a large number of treasures were hidden in Leshan, they sent spies to collude with the bandits in an attempt to seize the treasures, but they were all devastated.
The details of this period of history are no longer known to future generations, and it is estimated that it is enough to make a forty-episode anti-Japanese war drama, the reason why Sang Yuan has to spend so much tongue on popular science history, the focus is on four words - dark clouds cover the sky!
"You say. Returning to catch up with the weather, the devil's bomber could not complete the mission. Does this seem like a coincidence? Sang Yuan looked at us and asked.
"You mean, there's someone superior to help you?" Wu Feng continued.
Sang Yuan threw him a teachable look, and then said, "Xiaobai wants to get acquainted with others, so we went back to Leshan a few days ago." The master is seen. I also brought back the spies. ”
Wu Feng smiled: "Why are they targeting you?" ”
Sang Yuan glanced at Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai took over and explained: "The master gave me a thing, which is more attractive, but it has nothing to do with what you have to do. ”
Since the thing was given to Xiao Bai by someone else. It has nothing to do with us, so we don't want to ask more, a few people focused on finding the key, Xiao Bai and Sang Yuan said that this time is a free service given by VIP customers, they only help, not money!
Everyone discussed for a while, and decided that Xiao Bai would stay in the 'base area', the Chosen Holy Maiden seemed to be very afraid of his red and green fireball, he guarded here, even if Mars came back with all the keys, he didn't dare to approach the sarcophagus.
The remaining four of us went up to look for the key, Xiao Bai took out four rune papers and gave one to each of us, asking us to stick it on that person after the guardian invaded the human body, which could play the role of a 'lock'.
Three keys to four talismans because he thought that in case we were to get separated, whoever came across the key would have a chance to 'capture' it.
The four of them returned to the ground, Mars had escaped without a trace, Sang Yuan camouflaged the entrance to the cave, there was no GPS to lead the way, we had to rely on the compass, and divided into two groups, one to the south and one to the north.
This not only saves time, but also has a high probability of finding the key, with the 'base area', we clear the tent and other heavier items out of the backpack, and agree that if there is no harvest before dark, we must all rush back to the 'base area'.
"Stay safe." I shook Sanjiu's hand vigorously, I didn't group him this time, because if they met the guardian of the Holy Book Clan, Wu Feng and Sang Yuan would suffer more, so this grouping was out of consideration for the balance of resources.
"Be careful." Sanjiu's advice is always so simple, but it makes me feel at ease.
After a brief farewell, Wu Feng and I walked south, bypassing a fir forest, and on a relatively open hillside, we saw smoke wafting out of the forest halfway up the mountain in the distance.
"Someone!" Wu Feng and I stopped at the same time and quickly hid behind a tree trunk that was more than one person thick.
"I'll come." As I spoke, I released my spiritual power, sensing the situation over there, the puppet technique needs the other party to be within my line of sight before it can be used, and at such a long distance, I can only judge whether there are higher animals or dead people nearby.
After a while, I shook my head, and Wu Feng whispered, "You wait here, I'll take a look." ”
In terms of fighting and skill, although he is not as good as Sanjiu, he is much stronger than me, I simply nodded, his figure quickly disappeared behind the dense jungle, if Sanjiu is a leopard, then he is an antelope in the mountains.
I waited in place, and it didn't take long for Wu Feng to turn back, I saw that his face was not very good, and I hurriedly asked him who the other party was.
"They all carry guns, they speak in Yi, the leader hasn't spoken, and there is a Yi wizard by his side." Wu Feng took a breath and said, "The ancient dream is in their hands. ”
"What?" I subconsciously asked rhetorically, but immediately realized that it was not impossible.
If Mars brought Cheng Zishan and them into Heizhugou to install the 'key', then the so-called getting lost is not valid, but she deliberately wanted to transport them to 1939, and it is no coincidence that she met us, it is she who also knows the 'beast path' of the demon of time, so it should be said that everyone is on the way.
We can now be sure that the Guardian is the 'key', so there is only one thing I don't understand, how did she get separated from the others, the Guardian's invasion of the ancient dream does not make sense at all, since she came prepared, how could she not control the ancient dream after being invaded by the key?
If she doesn't have a way to check and balance, how can she let the three keys obediently return to their places?
"How's the situation with Gu Meng?" I put aside the questions I couldn't figure out for the time being, and decided to save Gu Meng first.
"She's unconscious, and I can't get a close-up look at her, and I can't tell if she's hurt."
"Do they have any plans to camp?"
"Nope."
"In this way, you know the way better than me, you go back to the base and wait for them, I will guard here, if they continue to hurry, I will follow them, you pay attention to the marks I make on the trees, and when they rest at night, we will do it again."
"Well, be careful."
"It's okay, let's go." (To be continued.) )
