Chapter 16: The Return
"There are still many records behind, and I will definitely not be able to read them for a while." Mo Duqiao said, closing the diary, "Right now, we first have to take the Sealing Sword, return to the Ural Khan tribe, and take Ma Fei and them away, and besides, I'm worried that Tang Qianrou will find Kuhan City before us." ”
Xingshu looked at Mo Duqiao and asked, "You mean, we have to agree to Angu's conditions and take him to Kuhan City?" ”
Mo Dui Bridge said: "If we don't agree, we won't be able to take away the Sealing Sword. ”
Lian Jiuqi nodded and said: "Dusk Bridge is right, there is no way to promise Angu, besides, torture, don't you want to find Qimen and figure out the mysteries of the Cast Iron Immortal, Yelubei and the Prophet?" ”
Xingshu shook his head: "To be honest, I don't want to. ”
Lian Jiuqi asked, "Why?" ”
Torture said in a deep voice: "Everyone has only one life, it's as simple as that, since the beginning of the appearance of those thousand years of black incense chopsticks, I have seen too many tragedies, I don't want to see it again, and I don't want to experience it again." ”
Even Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao were silent, they all knew that the torture technique was not an escape, but a kind of fear from the heart, at least those who were still afraid in their hearts were not completely occupied by curiosity and greed.
"Since it's decided, I'll go and call Angu." Xingshu got up, and the moment he got up, his head was a little dizzy and he almost fell, but Lian Jiuqi hurriedly helped him.
Lian Jiuqi asked, "Are you okay?" Is it that your injuries are not yet healed? ”
"It's fine." Torture shook his head slightly, stepped forward to pull the iron chain on the iron plate, and even Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao hurriedly went up to help, and after pulling the iron plate apart, they told Angu their decision, and asked Angu to immediately take them out of the sanctuary.
Angu's master was dressed in a big hat, and led Angu, Xingju, Lian Jiuqi, and Moduqiao out of the igloo and walked slowly towards the sanctuary in the distance.
The master of Angu walked very slowly, at a very strange pace, one step faster, two steps slowly, and then stopped and took a step back slightly, and at the same time, they also listened to the master of Angu singing strange songs, and although they could not understand them, they could hear desolation and sadness in the songs.
Angu, who was far behind the master, explained in a low voice: "This is a song for the tribe to see off the hero, the lyrics roughly mean - we face the cold wind, step on the ice and snow, chanting this song, just to see off our warrior, he is about to go to the border of death with the expectations of the clan, where there is no cold wind, no ice and snow, only heat and scorching fire, he will fight the demons there, take back justice, bring back hope, let's go, let's go, let's see him off, run, run, we give him endless strength." ”
Master Angu's song echoed through the ice city, and soon after, the doors of the surrounding igloos opened one by one, and the old and weak women and children who were hiding slowly came out, singing the ballad in a low voice, and slowly gathered around the church.
Standing on the wide, ice-bricked path directly opposite the temple, the torturers and the others watched as Master Angu slowly walked towards the temple, and as he stepped on the steps of the temple with one foot, the rest of the tribe knelt down with their hands crossed over their shoulders and stopped chanting.
Angu raised his hand and signaled the torturers and others not to step forward again, and he also knelt down, but the moment he knelt down, Angu's master turned to look at him and shook his head slightly.
Angu had to get up, looked at the ground and whispered: "I forgot, I am now Angu, a secular, and I am no longer a member of the tribe." ”
The master of Angu turned around and took off the big cane, and the moment the big one hit the ground, he knelt down towards the Sealing Sword, his head pressed against the cold steps, and said something in his mouth, then he got up, took the black cane that the other old man handed him, put the cane into the iron bell at the top of the temple, and rang it vigorously.
As the sound of the iron bell echoed through the ice castle, Angu's master began to say something loudly, and the others shouted along with him.
The torture technique slowly stepped forward, stood beside Angu and asked, "Your master rings the bell like this, won't something happen?" The clock seemed to fall at any moment. ”
Angu shook his head: "I don't know, but if he dares to do that, there must be his reasons, so don't worry too much." ”
The torture technique asked again: "Your master handed us the Soul Sealing Knife, will the others agree?" ”
Angu glanced at the torture technique and replied in a low voice: "This is a primitive tribe, everything is decided by the leader, under the leader is the witch doctor, the priest, that is, my master, under my master is the eagle head of the Iron Eagle Department, under the eagle head are other warriors, under the warrior are the ordinary people in the tribe, the differentiation is very strict, now the leader has an accident, the tribe is my master alone." ”
After hearing this, he suddenly said, "Since your master knows that the Golden Eagle Tribe and the Ural Khan Tribe were one family hundreds of years ago, it is better to ask him to take the rest of the people back to Dada Lake." ”
Angu turned his head abruptly to look at the torture technique: "What do you want to do?" Are you crazy? ”
As Angu said this, Anko's master began to ring the iron bell with his cane, and the sound of the iron bell caused its own vibration to make the entire temple seem to collapse.
Torture, Lian Jiuqi, and Mo Dusk stood side by side, looking at the falling ice and snow at the top of the Templar Ice Tower, worried, and distraught by the loud shouts of the tribesmen, who forced themselves not to plug their ears with their fingers.
Finally, Angu's master stopped ringing the bell, took out a small hammer from his waist pocket, and struck the knife holder of the Sealing Knife with the hammer, smashing all the ice on the knife holder and the Sealing Knife, and then raised his hands and grabbed the handle of the Sealing Knife.
The moment he grabbed the hilt, Torture, Jiuqi, and Moduqiao held their breath and looked up at the Sanctuary, as if the bell was about to fall and capture Angu's master, but when Angu's master picked up the Soul Sealing Knife from the knife holder, nothing happened, and the bell was still hanging on the top of the Sanctuary Ice Tower.
Mo Duqiao frowned and shook his head: "How is it possible?" Have we been tricked? ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "Impossible, he must have done something before, we didn't see it." ”
Angu's master turned around and said a word to Angu, who immediately turned around and said, "Master told you to come forward." ”
The three of them stepped forward, Master Angu handed the knife to the punishment with both hands, and the punishment technique also took it with both hands, and then Master Angu said another word, and after speaking, he turned around and picked up his crutches and walked towards the igloo, and the other people in the tribe waited for the master of Angu to enter the igloo, and then turned around and walked into their respective houses.
In less than five minutes, only the four of them were left in the ice city of the entire Golden Eagle Tribe, and the previous shouts and bells were completely gone, and all that was left was the terrifying wind.
The torture technique just stood with the Sealing Soul Knife in his hand, looking down and feeling, but he never felt that there was anything unique about this knife, and Angu in front of him also looked at it blankly, gently stroking it with his hand, and constantly shaking his head, because he was also guessing whether there was really some prophet's soul living in this knife.
Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao walked into the Templar Ice Tower to see the iron bell that had not fallen, and when the two of them looked up, they found that the bell had been stuck in the gaps around the ice tower, and it was so stuck that it couldn't fall at all.
"I see." Lian Jiuqi smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, it's an unsolvable mechanism." ”
Mo Duqiao looked up, "The structure of the ice tower is changed by striking to create vibrations, causing the entire ice tower to deform, so that even if the iron bell falls, it will get stuck on the edge." ”
Lian Jiuqi said again: "Even people who know how to unravel this mechanism can't take away the Sealing Blade, because once the bell rings, everyone in the entire tribe will know that something has happened, which is equivalent to letting the thieves turn on the alarm bell themselves, and the person who designed this mechanism is really smart." ”
Mo Duqiao shook his head: "But this kind of mechanism is affected by the region and temperature, there is no low temperature, there is no ice tower, and this kind of mechanism cannot be activated at all." ”
Lian Jiuqi turned to look at the torture technique: "Anyway, the Sealing Blade has arrived, and we should return to the Ural Khan tribe immediately." ”
"We should take the rest of the Golden Eagle Tribe with us." ”
Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao were stunned, and Lian Jiuqi asked, "Torture, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Torture nodded: "Of course I know, if we don't take them away, they will all very likely die." ”
An Gu said: "It's useless, they won't go with you, even if you tell them that you were a family thousands of years ago, so what?" It's been so long, who cares if it's a family before, they only remember that the Ural Khan tribe is their enemy, and they won't take refuge in the enemy's tribe. ”
The torturer pinned the knife to the backpack behind him: "Angu, whether you go or not, I need you to convey my proposal to your master, and we will go together." ”
Angu hesitated and nodded.
When Angu led the torture technique to meet the master and conveyed the proposal of the torture technique, Master Angu just kept shaking his head and said: "Hatred is uncontrollable, so even if I am the ruler of this tribe at this time, no one else will obey me on this issue, because I can control their bodies, but I can't control the hatred in their hearts for the Ural Khan tribe, and that hatred is like a thousand years of ice." ”
After Angu finished translating Master's words, Xingshu immediately said, "You should know what you will face if you stay here any longer, right?" Those remnants of the Bohai Sea may be ambushed in the place where you are going to hunt, or they may be ambushed near the ice-free spring, there is no water, no food, even if they don't attack, without that kind of poison, so many of you, you can't last half a month. ”
Master Angu's answer made the torture technique desperate: "The warriors of the Iron Eagle Department may have died, and the people here know in their hearts that they are not living for faith and conviction, let alone for the Sealing Blade you took away, but for their families, so when their families leave this world, do you think they can still survive?" ”
Xingshu was very excited: "I see that there are still many children, adults can make their own decisions, can children?" ”
Master Angu's mood was very calm: "When you make this request to me, you will turn me into a sinner, because if I accept your proposal, then it will be tantamount to letting them abandon their families and leave, and the most important thing is that they will not do that, and if I don't accept your proposal, I will be tantamount to killing all the remaining people in this tribe in disguise, and completely extinguishing the flame of hope of the Golden Eagle Tribe...... So, I'm willing to be this sinner, and you go. ”
Master Angu's words "I am willing to be a sinner" made Angu's tears drip down, he kowtowed to Master, turned around and walked to the door of the igloo, picked up his backpack, and said without looking back: "Torture, let's go." ”
Xingshu got up, looked at Master Angu, who didn't look up, and said, "Thank you." ”
Just as the torture technique turned around to leave, Angu's master suddenly said a word, and after finishing speaking, he closed his eyes.
Xingshu hesitated and didn't speak, but waited for the four of them to walk out of the igloo before asking Angu, "What did your master say just now?" ”
"He said that a prophet can see into the heart." Angu shook his head after speaking, "I don't know what he means by that. ”
After two days and one night, the four of them finally rushed back to the Ural Khan tribe, and when the torture technique was outside the tribal camp and took out the sealing sword, the leader who came to greet them, Lu Erlie, was shocked and knelt down directly towards the torture technique.
Of course, the torture technique knew very well that it was not himself who knelt down, but the sealing knife in his hand.
Just as Lu Erlie was about to step forward to get the knife, the torturer withdrew the knife and asked, "Where is my companion?" ”
Lu Erlie turned to Torri and said something, Torri immediately rushed back to the camp, called Zheng Cangqiong, Chen Taidong and Ma Fei out, when the three of them came out, they were still packing their luggage while walking, it can be seen from their hurried appearance that no one thought that the torture would return so quickly, and they really brought back the holy artifact sealing sword.
After seeing Ma Fei, the torture technique nodded, and Ma Fei immediately supported Chen Taidong and quickly walked behind them, at this time, Lu Erlie said: "You have passed the test, now, give me the holy relics." ”
Torri translated his father's words, but Xingshu still shook his head, Lu Erlie frowned, and shouted, and then the surrounding wolf-headed warriors immediately pulled out their weapons and aimed their bows and arrows at Xingshu and the others.
Torture looked at Torree and said, "Your father said that he would lend us wolf herds, and he wouldn't want to break his word, right?" ”
Torrei had no choice but to relay the words of torture to his father, and Luerlie shook his head slightly: "I won't break my word, I will let Di Lie and Gu Lie take them to the habitat of the wolf herd." ”
Torrei was stunned: "Father, but only you can control the wolf herd. ”
"No, you can." Lu Erlie said in a deep voice, his gaze still falling on the Sealing Knife in the hand of the torturer, "The remaining wolf herd is the one you let go. ”
"Soul branding?" Torret asked in surprise, "You're talking about soul branding!?" ”
Lu Erlie didn't look at his son at all, his eyes were locked on the Sealing Blade: "Yes, Soul Brand, that's the only wolf herd left in this world. ”
Torrei yelled: "The soul brand is not controlled at all, you lied to them, you liar! You also lied to me, it was you who told me that the tribe raised other wolf herders, and you didn't say that it was a soul brand! ”
Finally, Lu Erlie turned his head to look at Torlie: "You also lied to me, you said that you will not leave your territory, you also said that you will never come back here, you are my shame, your return has threatened my authority in the tribe!" ”
"Okay, I see." Torree nodded and walked towards the torture technique, "Torture technique, give him the Sealing Blade, I will take you to find the wolf herd, give it to him quickly, if you don't give it to him, he will let the warriors of the wolf head kill us all, believe me, he can do it." ”
Torture looked around at the wolf-headed warriors around him, who were ready to rush up and slash them to pieces, and finally threw the Sealing Blade to Lu Erlie.
The moment Lu Erlie got the knife, he knelt down directly, kissed the scabbard of the Sealing Knife with his lips, and then raised it high and shouted: "The prophet lives forever!" ”
After Luerri finished shouting, the other Ural Khan tribesmen knelt down and shouted in unison: "The prophet lives forever!" ”
Tollret looked puzzled: "What prophet lives forever?" ”
Torture turned over and said, "I'll tell you what's going on when we get out of here, let's go." ”
The eight of them rode into the distance to the shouts of Lu Erlie and the wolf leaders, but no matter how far they ran, Lu Erlie's almost crazy cry seemed to echo in his ears, and this cry and Master Angu's song surrounded his body like a spell.
In the evening, the eight people finally came to the shore of Dada Lake, because of exhaustion and high tension, the eight people dismounted and lay directly on the grassland, panting and in a daze, and no one spoke.
"I can't believe we'll get out alive." Ma Fei finally sat down and said, and after speaking, regardless of the presence of others, he directly hugged the torture technique beside him.
Xingshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and also opened his arms to hug Ma Fei: "I said, I will bring you all out." ”
Ma Fei closed his eyes and didn't say a word, just holding on to the torture technique like that.
It was at this moment that Xingshu felt the warmth he had never felt before, and he suddenly wanted to take Ma Fei back to China immediately, back to his little pawnshop, appraising most of the unreliable antiques every day, and obtaining a treasure in a chance accident, and then the two of them were so happy that they went out to eat, strolling along the riverside, recalling the adventures that had almost killed them many times in the past, and lived their lives peacefully.
"Hey, you've got enough." Mo Duqiao said beside him, "Would you like to consider how the rest of us feel?" Except for the two of you, everyone else is single. ”
The torture tried to let go of Ma Fei, but Ma Fei would not let go, and held on to the torture technique.
The torture technique whispered in Ma Fei's ear: "Let go for the time being, you can hold it when you are free, it really can't be done, let's hold it in installments." ”
Maffei couldn't help but laugh, let go of the torture technique, and pretended to be casual and rearranged the contents of his backpack.
Mo Duqiao raised an eyebrow at Lian Jiuqi, while Zheng Cangqiong was beside Lian Jiuqi and asked in the lowest voice, "Jiuqi, what do you think of this girl as your daughter-in-law?" ”
Lian Jiuqi just laughed and didn't express any opinions, and Chen Taidong also accosted: "I think it's good, really, there is a lack of a girl who is wholeheartedly good to him in criminal art." ”
"By the way, how the hell did you get the Soul Sealing Knife?" Maffei raised his eyes and asked, "It doesn't seem like you guys have any effort?" ”
Torture smiled bitterly: "Haven't worked hard yet? I almost died several times......" 2k reading web
