Chapter 88: Shut Out
"Sit down." After arriving at the office, the old man pointed to the stool next to him to Li Heng and said.
"Oh." Li Heng looked at it, and then sat down.
"I said, you, why did you come to us? If you don't have a good imperial city, you have to come to us to find guilt. The old man took a sip of water and said to Li Heng.
"No, I'm not from the Imperial City." Li Heng shook his head and vetoed the old man's words.
"It was the city lord of Luofeng City who asked me to come here, and he said that you should know something about alchemy."
Li Heng's words made the old man stunned for a moment, and then he sighed and said again.
"I see, it seems that my intelligence is quite lagging behind. Listen to you, you want to learn alchemy? ”
Li Heng nodded.
"Alchemy?" The old man thought for a moment: "Well, we did dig up something about alchemy, and Feng Yuan also took one."
However, these things have been "borrowed" by others, and it may not be easy to say that they will be returned.
Even if they do come back, I advise you not to hope too much.
They have been studying for so long, but they haven't researched anything, it's not that the old man looks down on you, and you have no hope. ”
The old man's words made Li Heng very depressed, but he didn't expect that there was nothing here that could help him.
"But don't be anxious, listen to my apprentice, they only took out some of the things back then, and there may be something you need in it."
"Really?" Li Heng's mood was like riding a roller coaster, one moment underground, and the next time he ran to the sky.
"I can't lie to you. But ah, that place is too dangerous, our archaeological society went to more than 100 people, and only my apprentice came back.
And when he came back, no matter how much we asked, he just wouldn't say the exact location of that place.
If you're still going to go, you'll have to go to him and see if he tells you. ”
The old man said.
"Well, that's a bother, I'll go find him now." Li Heng said and ran outside.
The old man smiled bitterly: "Come back!" Come back! Today's young people are so in a hurry that they don't even listen to the words. ”
When Li Heng heard the old man's words, he came back again: "Is there anything else?" Grandpa. ”
The old man glared: "I'm only sixty-five, how can I say that I am old, I am called uncle, oh, I am called uncle."
It seemed that it was a bit too much for people to call themselves uncle, so the old man changed his words.
Seeing that the old man looked very angry, Li Heng had no choice but to change his words: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"That's pretty much it." The old man nodded: "Do you know where my apprentice's family is?"
Then he asked a question that made Li Heng want to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Li Heng shook his head. He was too excited just now to think about it at all.
"I'll just say, young people now." The old man sighed for a moment, and then said.
"My apprentice's house, go out from here, turn left, turn left at the entrance of the street, and the third house is. Remember? ”
"Remembered." Li Heng nodded. "That's good, but I'll tell you, you'd better give up sooner.
Although I am his master, in terms of attitude towards the ancestral village, the two of us are not the same kind of people. ”
"What does that mean?" Li Heng was a little puzzled.
"You saw it when you came in just now, there is a group of people in the association who look at you." The old man asked.
As soon as the old man said this, Li Heng remembered the group of people who looked at him with disgust. So he nodded.
"That's right, we are different from people on the outside, we only believe in the history that has been dug up from our own hands.
About 500 years ago, we unearthed a little bit of information from the time of the Great War, and those materials recorded some of the events of that time.
And it is these things that make us suspicious of the ancestral village.
Since then, our archaeological society has been divided into two factions.
One faction thinks that the ancestral village is sorry for our human race, and they should not be admired by us. This faction is now led by my apprentices
As for the other faction, they are willing to understand the practice of the ancestral village, believing that the ancestral village is for the sake of the human race. Now with me at the head.
Now you know why some people do that to you. ”
Li Heng nodded: "What are written on those materials?"
He asked the key point that generated the question.
The old man shook his head: "Since the people in the ancestral village are unwilling to tell you, it means that you shouldn't know yet, so I won't say it."
However, knowing this, do you still want to go to my apprentice's house to find sin? ”
Li Heng didn't hesitate: "Go, if there is nothing else, I'll go now."
The old man took another sip of water: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go, I hope your efforts will be rewarded."
Li Heng nodded, and then walked towards the place the old man said.
The door to the room he walked out had the words "Vice President's Office."
And in the corner, a group of people were lying there secretly sticking their heads out and watching.
"It's out, it's out." Seeing Li Heng come out, people on both sides were very excited.
But the reason for the excitement is different. On the one hand, it is because I can meet the people of the ancestral village, and on the other hand, I want to do it.
However, the door behind Li Heng opened silently. The vice president walked out of it briskly and did not make a sound.
He glared at the two groups of people behind Li Heng, and the two groups of people dispersed at once.
The vice president looked at Li Heng's back, smiled, and thought to himself: "I don't know if this ancestral village envoy can make his precious apprentice realize that his idea is wrong."
However, Li Heng didn't know about it, he just saw the two groups of people in the corner and was very excited.
But all of a sudden, they all ran away, and Li Heng turned around a few times, but he didn't see anything bad.
The doubts didn't bother Li Heng for long, because it was none of his business.
Shaking his head and throwing out the superfluous thoughts, Li Heng quickly left the Archaeological Association.
According to the words of the vice president, Li Heng found his apprentice's home.
Li Heng first tidied up the clothes on his body to make himself look neater, and then knocked on the door.
"Who?" A somewhat hoarse voice came from inside.
Then the door creaked open. A head peeks out from the inside.
The man must have been only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looked haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.
He looked at Li Heng with bloodshot eyes, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Li Heng to answer, he frowned: "You are from the ancestral village."
Looking at his appearance, it could be seen that he was very disgusted with the people in the ancestral village, but Li Heng still nodded.
With a "bang", the door was closed by the young man, and Li Heng was not given a chance to speak.
