Chapter 121: The Truth?
"Lao Yang, you are really similar to Min Sheng." He looked up at me with a smile, not knowing whether it was a bitter smile or a sneer, "Sixty years ago, he died in our place in order to save us; Sixty years later, you drove those two boys away in order not to hurt the people around you......"
I didn't answer, I just watched him quietly, his story wasn't finished yet, whether it was true or not, I wanted to hear it.
"Later, I received the news of the disappearance of Min Sheng and his party, you and I found the only Hu Cheng who came back, but I didn't expect him to go crazy, he must have been frightened crazy by the Lu people, so Min Sheng and they must be more than lucky."
It turned out that grandma said that someone had found Hu Cheng, in addition to the ones sent by Germany, there were also Yang Yun and Li Yuehong.
Hu Cheng was crazy, so naturally he couldn't ask for a trace of valuable information, and the appearance of Yang Yun and Li Yuehong once again attracted the attention of the German side.
"Roga! They must have gone to the ancient city of Roga! As soon as he returned, Li Yuehong clamored to go to Luojia to find them.
Roga? What is that place? Even Yang Yun, an immortal "old monster", had never heard of it, so why would they go to that kind of place inexplicably?
Li Yuehong dug out a partial transcript of the contents of the bamboo slips from his home, the so-called "Luojia", which is called the "Eternal Kingdom" on the bamboo slips, is a lost ancient city, somewhere in the Taklamakan Desert.
Is there an eternal kingdom? I can't help but think of the "eternal life" built out of blood spores, now buried forever underground, those so-called immortal people, with a heartbeat and maybe consciousness, but forever living in darkness, unable to be freed.
Will it be the same place?
"What's wrong?" Noticing my absent-mindedness, his story stopped, and as soon as he asked in a hoarse voice, he coughed violently several times, "I know you may not be able to accept it all of a sudden, but my time is running out, and after today, those secrets may never see the light of day." ”
The bamboo slip not only records the location of Luojia, but also shows that Luojia is an ancient city buried under the desert, and every seventy years, when encountering a huge storm, it will appear, and that year, it is just the year that Luojia is about to reappear.
No one knew exactly what was inside the Roga, but that place did hide what they were looking for—the Pisces Exquisite Box.
"You said that the Pisces Exquisite Box is in the ancient city of Luojia?!" No wonder, what we got before was a fake, there was nothing in it, it turned out that it was really just a disguise, and the real Pisces exquisite box was hidden in that unknown desert.
He just glanced at me and continued his story.
Guo Minsheng obviously broke into Luo Jia with three other people at that time, and when Yang Yun went with Li Yuehong, Luo Jia had already returned to the desert again and was gone.
Taklamakan is an uninhabited desert, they are used to the life in the south of the Yangtze River, they can't last too long in the desert, and in two days, both of them have symptoms in their bodies.
There is no Luo Jia, there is no Guo Minsheng, except for them, there is only the yellow sand in the sky and the scorching sun. After another week of searching, but to no avail, I finally decided to return disappointed, and it was when I didn't have any hope that the "storm" came.
In the center of the entire desert, a huge whirlpool appeared, yellow sand, rocks, snakes and insects...... All involved.
"I thought it was Luo Jia who reappeared, but I didn't expect that the center of the whirlpool was the adult King of the Devil."
The people are transformed by people who have been poured with special drugs, and there are signs of immortality to a certain extent, and the real adult king of the people must have a thousand years to grow, and the few behind the jade gate of the underground palace should only be young.
The adult King of the Men jumped from the center of the whirlpool, three stories high, and roared furiously towards the sinking desert, frantically searching for anything that could be used as food—including people.
"Run! Come on! ”
No matter how hard they climb up, the resistance of the quicksand always pushes them to the center of the whirlpool, and all the struggles in front of nature seem pale and powerless.
At the critical juncture, Li Yuehong pushed Yang Yun down and fell directly into the center of the quicksand, while Li Yuehong ate the palm of the King of the Luren and also fell into it.
The wound on his face came from this.
"The sharp pain in my face caused me to wake up before you and find us locked in a basement surrounded by rubble. I know that today, I still think, that is Luo Jia. ”
They didn't go deeper, maybe they didn't have that ability, at that time, Li Yuehong's entire face was bloody, and he couldn't even distinguish his facial features, like a person who had been skinned. And Yang Yun's own calf bone was also broken, and he was almost unable to move normally, let alone explore in an unknown ancient city.
In the ruins, they found Guo Minsheng's body, dead without blinking, his eyes widened, his facial expression was hideous, his entire chest cavity was hollowed out, and his internal organs were scattered all over the ground - Guo Minsheng died of pain.
He seemed to have expected that Yang Yun and Li Yuehong would come here to find him, so he left a way out in the corner.
"You asked me to take Min Sheng away first, but I went in the opposite direction. I can't stop you, I have to wait for you here. It wasn't until half a month later that you returned in despair. He let out a long sigh, "I thought you were hit and it would be fine after a while, but I didn't expect it to be decades." ”
Since Yang Yun came back from Luojia, he has been crazy, sometimes quiet, sometimes crazy, and kept chanting "spells" that Li Yuehong couldn't understand, and what happened to Yang Yun in Luojia is no longer known today.
A week later, Li Yuehong received a letter from Yang Yun half a month ago, just a week after he entered Luojia.
The content of the letter was very short, the font was sloppy, and even some sentences could not be read, which showed that he had already begun to lose consciousness when he wrote this letter.
According to the agreement in the letter, Li Yuehong took Yang Yun's heart's blood, summoned another Gu worm in the puppet in addition to the robbery, and voluntarily became the "ghost" who could not see the light, waiting for Yang Yun to return to this place again decades later, and tell him about the past.
And "Yang Lingyi" is just a mask made up by himself, it took him sixty years to become the current Yang Lingyi, and it took less than a year to push himself back to hell again.
"What else does the letter say?"
The old man on the other side was in decline, leaning on the ice bed weakly, and seemed to have exhausted all his strength to breathe: "If you want to be peaceful, the Purple Gold Box, the Soul Suppression Bell, the Seven Star Dagger, and the Raid Crossing the Underworld must be buried forever......"
I don't understand, what can be saved by burying these things? If it was a curse, and you only didn't touch it in the first place, why didn't you stop me when I first entered Guyuetan, and only told me the so-called "truth" after I watched so many people around me leave?
