Chapter Ninety-Two: The Evil Shark's Nest
The old man took the Apocalypse as if it were a divine object, but due to the characteristics of the Apocalypse Sword itself, the weak old man was not enough to hold it at this time, and the sword body sank violently at the moment it left my hand, and the tip of the sword pierced into the gray stone, making a sonorous sound.
"That's right, that's right, this is really a holy relic in my door, lost for a hundred years, I didn't expect the old man to be able to see it in his lifetime, this is heaven's favor, heaven's favor!"
Although the old man couldn't hold the apocalypse, he still muttered excitedly, rubbing the blade of the sword back and forth with his palms, and tears fell from his eyes.
We were all stunned, this old man looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and he was crying in front of us juniors for a piece of artifact. However, the old man's words just now also made me sure of his identity, and there is no doubt that he must be a righteous faction.
Although I already had a plan in my heart, I couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, uncle, are you from the Zhengqian faction?" ”
My question pulled the old man back from his excitement, and as if he had suddenly woken up, he stared at me, and asked without answering: "Tell me, young man, where did you get this sword?" ”
The old man's expression was unusually stern, as if if if I didn't answer his question, the next moment he would be polite to me. I feel quite unhappy, thinking that Lao Tzu has saved your life anyway, and if you don't thank you, why do you still put on such a posture?
At this time, another surviving thin old man beside the old man hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Hey, Brother Yang Dao, if it weren't for this little brother to save me, you and I would die sooner or later, how can we treat the life-saving benefactor?" ”
After that, the thin old man hurriedly saluted me, and said with a kind face: "Little brother, don't be surprised, Brother Dao is also anxious for a while, and there is no malice." ”
I took a closer look at the thin old man who was talking, and saw that although this person was thin and short, his face was clear and energetic, and he looked younger than the old man of the Zhengqian faction, but in terms of bearing, he was far superior to the old man of the Zhengqian faction.
Between these people, what is important is that people respect me a foot, I am also a zhang, no matter what your status is, this thin old man speaks kindly, giving people a good feeling, I naturally have to respect some as a junior, so I hurriedly returned the salute, and he started the conversation, and came and went, and then knew the origin of his name.
As I guessed, the long-bearded old man was indeed a Taoist priest of the Zhengqian faction, surnamed Yang Shumou, and as for the other thin old man, surnamed Wang Ming Xiaoyi, from Laoshan Mountain.
After hearing the origin of the two, the Taoist priest was surprised, and hurriedly saluted the two and called them uncles. Yang Shumou and Wang Xiao saw the Taoist priest like this, it was a little strange, although they were in the same team as the Taoist priest before, but they were only familiar with each other, and they didn't know each other's origins.
I have long been extremely curious about the origin of the Taoist priest, but this guy is too tight-mouthed, how can I not get his words, I only know that he has been adopted by a traveling old Taoist since he was a child, the two are both master and apprentice, and father and son, but what is the specific faction, I don't know, at this time there is a rare opportunity, busy pricking up ears to listen.
But what disappointed me was that the Taoist priest looked at Yang Shumou and Wang Xiao, just smiled faintly, and said: "I don't know about the secret of Shenling, do you still remember the two uncles?" After that, he said no more.
Unlike me, after listening to the words of the Taoist priest, Wang and Yang, the two old Taoists, suddenly showed a sudden look on their faces, and then looked at the Taoist priest with a gentle and kind gaze, and nodded again and again: "It turned out to be that Taoist friend, well, yes, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, you have hidden the Taoist rhyme at a young age, it is really rare, rare!" ”
The Taoist priest, who has always been high-profile, was rare and modest this time, and did not climb up the pole. If it was in normal times, these two old Taoists would inevitably have to talk with the Taoist priest endlessly, but now the situation is different, Wang and Yang have just picked up a life from before the ghost gate is closed, so naturally they don't have this leisure, and Yang Shumou's mind has always been on me.
Seeing that everyone was familiar with each other, Yang Shumou finally couldn't help but say to me: "Little guy, I was in a hurry just now, but this sword is too important to my main door, can you please tell me the question just now?" ”
Yang Shumou's tone was a lot more polite this time, I have a lot of relationship with Zhengqianmen, even if I don't give him face, I have to give Chen Bo and Yan Wudao face, so I no longer hide it, and said to him: "Yang Daochang, this sword is called Tianqi, and I ...... it in an ancient town in southern Hunan."
I used the most concise language to walk with Uncle Chen in the shortest possible time, and told him clearly about the experience of meeting Yan Wudao in Suoming Ancient Town, including Yan Wudao's final delivery of the Apocalypse to me.
Of course, some parts that can't be explained have been mentioned by me, but in general, the experience of the Shonan trip, but all the parts related to the Zhengqian faction, I told Yang Lao Dao.
After listening to my narration, Yang Shumou's whole body froze in place, and then fell to the ground, startling us, thinking that something had happened to him, and hurriedly went to help him.
Uncle Yang pushed away the Taoist priest who went to help him, hiding his face and crying bitterly: "It's my fault, it's my fault, Senior Brother Chen is right, he is right, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, if I go with him, he may not die, I hate it, I hate it so much......"
Yang Shumou, who was crying bitterly, the rest of the people who were full of astonishment, and among the people present, perhaps only me and the doctor could hear the meaning of Yang Shumou's crying words.
Presumably, before going to the ancient town, Uncle Chen had told Uncle Yang about his plan and wanted Uncle Yang to go with him, but Uncle Yang didn't believe him, so Chen Bai could only go to the ancient town alone, and finally lost his life in the ancient town.
Now that Yang Shumou has learned the situation and knows that Uncle Chen is right, he blames Uncle Chen's death on not going with him, which is why he cries so much self-blame and sadness.
Thinking of the tragic situation when Uncle Chen died, I couldn't help but sigh, in my opinion, even if Yang Shumou believed Uncle Chen and went to the ancient town with Uncle Chen, at most, he would give away one more life, and it would still not change the final outcome.
It is impossible to say these words in front of Yang Shumou, I can only think about it in my heart, so I can't persuade him, but fortunately, Yang Shumou is also old, and after repenting, under the persuasion of everyone, he quickly cleaned up his mood.
Yang Shumou, who had returned to normal, glanced at me with a complicated expression, rubbed the sword body of the Apocalypse, suddenly sighed, and said to me: "Kid of the Zhang family, what you said just now, I believe the old way, since the ancestor passed the apocalypse to you, and the apocalypse has indeed recognized you as the master, it means that the apocalypse has a relationship with you, and the old way will not take it back, but you have to promise me a condition!" ”
As early as when I guessed Uncle Yang's identity, I was already prepared that the Apocalypse would be withdrawn. Although the Taoist priest told me before that once the Apocalypse recognizes the Lord, others will not be able to use it even if they get it, so even if the Zhengqian faction sees the Apocalypse in my hands, they may not necessarily take it back, but after all, this is the inheritance of the Zhengqianmen, who knows if the Zhengqian faction will forcibly take the sword away regardless of it? Now listening to Uncle Yang's tone, it seems that there is still a door to this matter.
Naturally, I didn't want the apocalypse to be taken back, so I hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?" Daoist, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree! ”
Uncle Yang handed the apocalypse back to me and said, "Don't worry, the condition of the old way is very simple, that is, if you have a life to get out alive this time, you have to take a sword to Zhengqian Mountain Gate!" ”
When I heard this, my heart was overjoyed, and my heart said that this is the condition? Not to mention going to one trip, even going ten times is no problem, so I nodded and agreed.
Yang Shumou nodded, motioned for me to take the sword, don't talk about anything polite at this time, I was busy grabbing the apocalypse, and my heart suddenly became much more steady, until this time, I found that I had unconsciously regarded the apocalypse as a reliance, especially in this situation where danger may be encountered at any time, the sword is no longer in my hand, and I feel empty in my heart, not at all steady.
The matter between the Zhengqian faction and the Apocalypse Sword is over for the time being, and it is our turn to ask questions next.
The doctor first asked aloud: "Two Dao Masters, what happened to you before?" Why are there so many dead bodies on this island? Also, how could the two of you be trapped in that cave? ”
After listening to the doctor's question, Wang and Yang showed surprise and asked us: "What, don't you know what kind of place this is?" ”
I thought they were a little strange about what they said, so I took over and said, "The two Dao Masters don't know anything, we just arrived on the island not long ago, and we don't know much about everything here, but this island is full of corpses, we guess that there may have been an accident here before, but we don't know what the specific situation is. ”
After listening to my words, Wang and Yang both showed a sudden look on their faces, and Yang Shumou said to us: "So that's the case, alas, no wonder you dare to camp here so swaggeringly, the little baby of the Zhang family, you, you really shouldn't chase after you!" ”
"Yang Dao Chief, what the hell is going on?"
Yang Shumou sighed, glanced out of the rock crevice, and found that the fog was so thick that he couldn't see anything clearly, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to us: "You don't know, this island is a big murderer, it's a big murderous nest!" I ask you, have you ever seen that burning corpse in the cave where we are hiding? ”
The Taoist priest and I both nodded, and Yang Shumou asked again, "Do you know what it is?" ”
I said, "We heard that there are mermaids in the waters near Toast, but isn't that the corpse of a merman?" ”
Uncle Yang looked at me and nodded solemnly: "That's right, that's the merman." ”
As soon as these words came out, except for me and the Taoist priest who were a little mentally prepared, everyone else was taken aback, and a series of gasping sounds suddenly came to mind in the stone crevice.
"Dao Chief, what happened to you, is there really a shark here?" Xiu Ling is a toast Tai, since she was a child, she heard the old man say that there were shark immortals nearby, and she did see that kind of strange thing in the water when she was a child, and she was very excited when she heard the shark people, and hurriedly asked.
"I've been cultivating for many years, and I've never seen such a ghostly thing, those things are really terrifying!" Wang and Yang, the two veterans, showed palpitations on their faces, as if they were caught in a memory, and slowly told what they had experienced before.
Before that, I had made countless possible speculations about what happened to the third uncle, or twists and turns, or thrilling, but the truth of the matter was far from being as complicated as I thought, but there were thrills and bizarreness.
The night before I woke up, the third uncle and his party followed the Heavenly Witch Sect into the silver fish ditch and marched into the mountains overnight, but nothing special happened during the period, but because it was a tailgating track, it was natural to keep a distance, and it was not possible to make too much movement.
This is extremely difficult in the deep mountains at night, but fortunately, the boats on both sides are traditional board boats, which can only be supported by manpower, and the sound is not loud, the third uncle and they have always maintained a distance from the Heavenly Witch Sect and marched towards the mountains.
In the Silver Fish Valley, they did not encounter any danger, until they came to the three choices and one fork at the end of the Silver Fish Ditch, because they did not know which side the Heavenly Witch Sect people were taking, the third uncle had to choose one intuitively.
However, the third uncle's tone was really bad, and he chose the river channel where we met the two-headed lizard.
It was already noon the next day, and after the third uncle's team reached an extremely wide pool, they were attacked by a group of monitor lizards, which turned out to be the nest of the two-headed monitor lizard.
Caught off guard, the third uncle suffered a big loss, their ship was driven by manpower, and they couldn't escape as quickly as we did, so a boat was destroyed immediately, fortunately, they were all strange people, and they barely blocked the pursuit of the monitor lizard, and the rest of the boat escaped.
Although this accident lost a boat, there were no casualties, and the people on the boat got on the rest of the boats, which was not a big deal, but the third uncle never thought that the river he chose for the second time after returning to the fork in the road was even more dangerous and terrible than the first one, and it was his wrong choice that triggered a series of subsequent tragedies.
On the second night, the third uncle arrived at the lake where we are now, maybe too excited, the old man coughed as he said, I was anxious about the safety of my father and the third uncle, seeing that the old man finally woke up, how could he continue to entangle these things, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, you and my third uncle entered the mountain together, do you know how my third uncle is?" ”
Listening to me, the old man turned his head to look at me, just one glance, his eyes almost popped out, excitedly pointed to the apocalypse in my hand, and said in a trembling voice: "It's really it, it's really it, where is the ancestor, where is the ancestor?" ”
The old man said, holding on to his body that had not yet recovered and was about to stand up, I was a little dazed, looking at this emotional old man, I wondered how he could react so much, Shizu, what Shizu?
However, in the next second, a thought appeared in my mind like lightning, and my heart said no, could it be that this old man turned out to be a decent person?
The old man was still emotional, and I saw that he had a hard time standing up, so I squatted down and took the initiative to hand over the apocalypse.
