"The biggest secret our ancestors hid was actually a well and a tree next to it."

I subconsciously looked at Yang Jianqiang, he had said something similar, and the purpose of his organization this time was not only to find the bronze mine of the Dongyi tribe, but also to find the legendary Fountain of Youth.

It seems that the well in Bragu's mouth is the fountain of immortality that Yang Jianqiang said.

Yang Jianqiang frowned slightly, and he asked Bragu in a puzzled tone: "Then old man, what kind of well is this, and what kind of tree is it?" ”

"I have not read all the ancient texts on the animal skin silk book, which basically means that this is the holy well that can give birth to life, two to three, three to ten thousand...... As for the tree next to the well, it blooms once every 1,000 years and bears fruit once after another 1,000 years...... I can't decipher the last paragraph, but I guess it may be that the fruit of this tree can prolong people's lives. ”

"You believed it then?" Teacher Wu asked.

Bragu shook his head: "I only regarded it as a legend before, after all, every nation has an ancient and bizarre legend, but something happened in the village that year, and I believed the record in the animal skin silk book." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ma Huadong asked.

"In addition to the ancient animal skin silk book, there are also three sacred relics known as the 'Soul Rejuvenation Pill'...... This happened half a year before I peeked at the silk book, our village had a conflict with another village, the owner of the village was poisoned by the old Gu master of the other party, and when he was carried back to the village, he was no longer good, and several elders in the village discussed it, and decided to feed the owner of the village with the 'Soul Rejuvenation Pill'...... Of course, this involves a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation in the village. ”

"What legend?"

Han Jianjian was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw Bragu panting again, he hurriedly urged.

"Legend has it that the three 'Soul Rejuvenation Pills' in the village can bring people back to life!"

"That'...... Is the owner of the village really alive? ”

Bragu nodded: "I was present at the time, at that time, the owner of the village had been attacked by Gu poison, and one foot entered the ghost gate, who knew that after eating the 'Soul Rejuvenation Pill', the person slowly regained consciousness, I quickly checked for him, and found that the Gu poison in the main body of the village was gone at this time!" ”

"Oh? So magical! ”

"As a person who understands both medicine and Gu arts, I also felt unbelievable at the time, and only later did I think of the animal skin silk book, which was also regarded as a sacred object in the village...... That's what happened next......"

"And you found the well?"

Bragu shook his head slightly.

"When I left the cottage, I first went to Niutou Village along the Yellow River to look for 20 years, you already know about it, and then when I was discouraged, I found clues in the underground palace under the ancient temple, and then it took a lot of trouble to find this mysterious underground crack."

"You...... Are you sure you've found a place? At this time, Yang Huiling's curiosity was also aroused, and she asked casually in a low voice.

Bragu nodded: "This is the place where the ancestors left a silk book!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and I held my breath and waited for his next step.

"Just behind this waterfall, under the volcano, there is a strange stone gate, behind the stone gate......"

Halfway through his words, he took a deep breath and stopped talking.

I was a little impatient, waited for a few seconds, and saw that his expression was solemn, as if he didn't mean to continue, so I hurriedly urged: "Where did the stone gate come from in the mountain?" Behind...... Is it still a cave in the back? ”

Blagu shook his head slightly again: "I don't know how to describe it, if...... If you have to say a little bit of image, I think the stone gate should be the underworld described by the ancients, as for who built this huge stone gate, there is no record in the animal skin silk book left by the ancestors. ”

Teacher Wu asked softly, "Brother means that you went in back then?" ”

This time, Bragu was motionless and silent for half a minute before nodding slightly: "The animal skin silk book says that behind the stone gate is taboo for the living, which means that the living cannot enter, back then...... At that time, only one of our ancestors entered the stone gate, and came out alive, and after coming out, he went crazy for more than half a year, and advised the people everywhere not only not to enter the stone gate, but also to stay away from the stone gate. ”

Hearing this, my heart beat wildly uncontrollably, and my curiosity suddenly dawned, and I quickly asked, "Then what happened to this person?" ”

"He is the patriarch of one of our generation, and he is said to have lived for more than 200 years......"

"And what about later?"

Han Jianli also stared at Bragu with a puzzled expression, looking more curious than me.

"What happened later was not written in the book of animal skins...... After all, they are all mortal bodies, and I can't escape death. ”

Ma Huadong then asked, "That...... And what's going on in the lake under the waterfall? ”

"It must be a secret hidden by the ancestors!"

"Secret? What secret? ”

"This ...... I used to dream of wanting to know this, but now, after thinking about it for 20 years, I feel that the legacy of my ancestors may be right! ”

I'm so anxious that I want to scold, do people like to procrastinate when they are old? First of all, it is a secret, and then it pulls out the testament, why don't you finish it in one breath if you have something to say!

"What legacy?" This time it was Yang Jianqiang who was urging.

"I only figured out what the last paragraph of the book on animal skin silk meant...... It was a warning to all the people who saw the silk book not to try to touch these things no matter what. ”

These words silenced everyone.

My first reaction was: contradiction!

Since the animal skin silk book is left behind and passed on to future generations, it must be to pass on the secret, in this case, why leave a testament and persuade all descendants not to approach this secret?

This doubt was later explained by another teacher of Wu Jinghan that made me feel more reasonable.

He said that in ancient times, there were actually many talented people, whose cognition has gone beyond the era in which they lived, and even some of them have penetrated the fundamental laws of the operation of things, and their discoveries can at least be enough to cause a sensation in contemporary times, accompanied by the disaster of killing.

Because contemporary rulers will never allow such awesome people to exist, nor can they accept such awesome things happening.

Most of these wise men themselves were unwilling to participate in the strife of the world, so they hid the secrets they discovered, and at the same time they were not willing to let their discoveries be sealed forever, so they hid the secrets they discovered while leaving clues for future generations to discover.

Perhaps the ancestors of Miao Zhai at that time also held this mentality, so they left the animal skin silk book, and left a testament on the silk book: future generations should not approach......

According to Bragu's description, forty years ago, he was less than thirty years old, and before he was past the age of flesh and blood, he was instigated by intellectual curiosity and curiosity, and then he became blind and lived alone in the "forbidden land" of his ancestors for twenty years, and gradually figured out some things.

Maybe the ancestors were right!

According to Yang Jianqiang, the biggest purpose of coming down this time is to figure out these secrets, thorns all the way, and a few people died, and finally got here, and they have already prepared diving equipment, how can they stop here!

Everyone stopped talking and found a flat place to rest.

I had been in a coma for a day and a night, and I was not sleepy, so I walked along the river alone, and in front of me was the towering linden tree, which looked extremely tall in the light of the red magma.

I think at least before the Tang Dynasty, someone must have been here, otherwise there would be no "family has a Bodhi tree, attracting the phoenix" verse, I have long forgotten when I was in school, how the Chinese teacher explained these two sentences, but no matter how much information he checked, it is estimated that the explanation is not correct, because he has not been to the crevices of the underground, has not seen the Bodhi tree and the fire phoenix here.

I guess my Chinese teacher would never have dreamed that the legendary trees and birds really existed in the world.

Unconsciously, I came to the largest Bodhi tree again, and thinking of Wu Jinghan, who was lying in the coffin at this time, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

I was staring at the canopy in a daze, startled by a hoarse sneer coming from behind me.

"You...... Why are you here? ”

I turned around and saw Bragu standing more than thirty meters behind me.

"I'm looking for you!"

"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? "The thought of him stuffing a fishy thing into my mouth is still half a gas.

"A baby for you!"

As soon as I heard the word "baby", my scalp was numb.

Lao Hong sneaked into my dormitory in the middle of the night, saying that he would take me to find a treasure, but it almost killed me on the edge of the Yellow River, and just a few hours ago, Bragu also said that what was stuffed into my mouth was a treasure. Where are there so many treasures in the world? …… I don't know if the old guy has really lived alone for twenty years, and he is crazy!

He walked slowly towards me, and I subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You...... What the hell are you going to do? ”

"I'll give you something!" About halfway through, he reached out and shook what was in his hand.

It looked like it was an earthy yellow cloth, bigger than a handkerchief...... Could it be the animal skin silk book left behind by their ancestors that Bragu just mentioned?

On second thought, it shouldn't be possible! He said very clearly before, because he peeked at the animal skin silk book and violated the rules of the village, he was punished and driven out of the village, since this is the case, it is impossible for the animal skin silk book to be brought out by him.

As soon as I was distracted, Bragu was already standing three meters in front of me.

Continue to reach out and shake the "handkerchief" in your hand.

"What is this?"

"You take it first!"

At this moment, I felt a bit of seriousness in her voice, and there was an irresistible voice in my heart, calling me to quickly reach out and take the "handkerchief" in his hand.

"From today onwards, you will be my apprentice—my second apprentice."

The hand that just got the "handkerchief" trembled, and the thing almost fell to the ground, I don't seem to understand what Bragu said, the first apprentice he was referring to should be a girl who was saved in a broken temple in Niutou Village, Zhanhua County twenty years ago...... Does the other half of this mean to take me as a disciple?

At this moment, my brain was like a calm lake being thrown into a huge stone, and a loud bang was followed by layers of ripples.

Could it be that Bragu wants to teach me Gu techniques? Why?

I thought of the red centipede and the humanized black snake I saw in the broken temple in Zhanhua County that day...... I can't help but be a spirit, I've been afraid of such fluffy and slippery insects since I was a child, if I am asked to be with them all day long, I will simply want my life!

Come to think of it, the experiences of the past few months have been bizarre enough, of course, some of them have been passive, but since the moment I saw the contents of the black box salvaged from the Yellow River again, my purpose was clear, everything I did was to find my father.

Including following the scientific expedition team organized by Yang Jianqiang into the mysterious underground space under the Yellow River, he also wanted to trace his father's footprints back then and find clues to his whereabouts.

But now for me, saving Wu Jinghan is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became very entangled.

At present, it may be that only Bragu can save Wu Jinghan, and if I refuse him rashly, he will be angry...... Thinking about it like this, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

No way! Let's take the chance!

"You...... Do you want to teach me Gu techniques? ”

I asked tentatively in a whisper.

"You are a natural Gu disciple, besides, you have swallowed the Gu King that I have cultivated for twenty years, if you can't control the Gu King, you will be devoured by the Gu King......"

"What does it mean to be eaten by the Gu King? Finally...... What the hell will happen! "I had a bad feeling.

"Look at me!" As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his dirty messy hair, revealing two healed black eye sockets and scars all over his face.

"Your eyes and face are ...... They were all made by the Gu King? ”

I remember Jean once talking about his eyes and face, but at this moment, because of the nervousness and excitement, he forgot all about it.

"I want to say that the Gu King's counterattack is a hundred times more powerful than this, and I am afraid that life will be worse than death at that time."

"Ahh I subconsciously took a few steps back, "Why did you do this to me?" I...... I have no grievances with you......"

Panicking, I was a little panicked.

"Keep this suede, don't let anyone see what is recorded on it!"

"You...... I ...... "I looked at Bragu and then at what I was holding, a little overwhelmed.

Without waiting for me to reply, he turned and walked towards the slit.

I was stunned for at least five seconds before I suddenly regained my senses and quickly chased after me.

"What the hell do you want to do, can you explain it all at once?"

It's strange to say that Bragu is obviously blind, but he can skillfully avoid the tree in front of him. I subconsciously looked at the back of his head, could it be that all this was done by those little red bugs?

I immediately remembered a text I had learned in elementary school, "Bees Lead the Way".

Blagu didn't say another word, but went back to the slit and summoned the three snakes, muttering something in their mouths, and the three snakes crawled straight out of the cave as if they had received some order.

It wasn't until the three snakes crawled past me and crawled far away that I rushed into the slit.
