Chapter 66: Uncle Chen's Purpose
Hearing this, I probably have understood the purpose of Uncle Chen's visit to the ancient town, judging from Uncle Chen's reaction to hearing that his senior brother Wei Dao died, he and his brother must be brothers and sisters, Lin Yuanzhang must have explained his whereabouts before going to the ancient town, Uncle Chen should have come here to find the missing Lin Yuanzhang.
The doctor who had been listening asked, "Uncle Chen, with all due respect, you should not have come to Guzhen this time just to find your senior brother, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, I was stunned, as I said before, the doctor's way of looking at the problem is relatively different, he is always good at grasping some seemingly inconspicuous details, in order to deeply explore the essence of the problem, this way of thinking about the problem is probably only a person like him with a delicate mind can do. But since he asked so, it must have found something, I hurriedly looked at Uncle Chen, but saw that he was staring at the doctor, his eyes were full of appreciation, obviously, the doctor guessed right.
"The young man is very good, not only is he extraordinary, but he also has such a unique vision, should he ...... You're also a descendant of a Dana, right? Uncle Chen looked at the doctor, then at me, and suddenly asked.
The doctor still had an indifferent face and replied in a flat tone: "Sir, you are joking, I don't have the far-reaching family background of a reporter, you should return to the topic!" ”
Uncle Chen didn't continue to ask this question, and continued: "After the senior brother sent back the news, there was no news, and after waiting for half a year, we realized that something was wrong, and began to contact the Maoshan Taoist friend who invited him at the beginning. ”
Hearing him say this, my heart suddenly moved, I thought that the other feng shui gentleman who was with Lin Yuanzhang was also from the Zhengqian faction, but I didn't expect it to be not, the other party was from Maoshan. Maoshan, this is a very famous Daomen, even ordinary people, when they talk about Maoshan, they will definitely think of Maoshan Taoist.
"Senior brother's status in the door is not low, after confirming his disappearance, the disciples in the door even asked for help from the Taoist Association, and after visiting for more than half a year, there is still no news."
"Wait!" I interrupted Uncle Chen's words and asked puzzledly, "Didn't Senior Lin tell you where he was going before he set off?" ”
Uncle Chen shook his head, "No, if you stay, why is there so much trouble?" The news that the senior brother sent back at that time said that the place was extraordinary, if it was really a node forbidden place, and he failed to come back from this trip, then let us know that the location would harm more people in vain, and that kind of place must not be leaked out, otherwise if the Heavenly Witch Sect got the news, they would inevitably use any means to get through the node, and the disaster of resentment more than a hundred years ago would reappear, which would make the lives of Shenzhou miserable. ”
Uncle Chen's words made the three of us respect Lin Yuanzhang, this one we have never met, no, it should be said that the senior who has seen half of the face can have such a chest diameter, and before he died, he also tried his last breath to bring two terrible zombies, this trip is worthy of being a master of the Daomen.
"In that case, how did you find the ancient town in the end, Uncle Chen?" I asked.
Chen Bo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I found it, but someone secretly guided it." ”
"Secretly guided, what's going on?"
"Alas, this matter is ashamed, after using countless relationships and forces to search to no avail, forced to helpless, I am Zhengqianmen and Maoshan invited to be counted today, that is, the apprentice grandson of the Eight Strange Men God Operator, for the senior brother divination. However, even if it is a heavenly calculation, it is impossible to deduce where the senior brother and they have gone, only that they will find themselves soon after the turn of events. ”
"At that time, both of us thought that this was a perfunctory statement of heaven, but we didn't expect that half a month later, someone did send one of my senior brother's belongings back to the mountain gate. Things took a turn for the better, and we investigated according to the mailing address, and found a woman, who revealed the matter of the ancient town. ”
Hearing that it was a woman who revealed all this, and then contacting Uncle Chen's words that he had just denied me, I suddenly thought of a person, and asked in surprise: "The woman you are talking about is the only woman who escaped from the ancient town among the five people in Senior Lin's party?" ”
Chen Bo nodded: "That's right, it's her!" As he spoke, Uncle Chen looked at me and said lightly: "The old man doesn't know where you heard about these things, but that woman is indeed not dead." According to what she said, the reason why she was able to escape from the ancient town was entirely because the other four people including her senior brother saved their lives. ”
After listening to Uncle Chen's words, I finally knew the truth of this matter, and at the same time scolded in my heart, it turned out that this matter was not the same thing as what Sister Yang told us, the woman who left the ancient town alive was not dead at all, which is equivalent to the curse of the ancient town that we guessed before does not exist at all. Damn, I don't know if the person who told Sister Yang about this deliberately tampered with the truth of the matter, or if Sister Yang herself has a problem, if I hadn't experienced something more unbelievable before, I'm afraid I would have been really scared.
"Now that you have found the person concerned, you must already know the experience of the group of people in the ancient town at that time, right? What's going on in the ancient town? And how exactly did that woman escape the ancient town at that time? ”
I couldn't wait to ask these three questions that had been bothering me, hoping that Chen Bo could give answers, even if he didn't say the first two questions, as long as he could leave the ancient town, the rest would not matter. But Uncle Chen sighed helplessly: "The old man doesn't know any of this." ”
This answer immediately stunned me, and said in my heart, haven't you already found the person involved, how can you not know?
Uncle Chen saw what I was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "If I knew this, the old man would have come with the doorman, the woman said that the ancient town was very weird, after she left the ancient town, the memory of the ancient town has been declining, when we found her, she remembered not much anymore, and we didn't even ask the route to the ancient town." ”
I sighed, "Ah! How so? ”
Chen Bo looked very indifferent, and continued: "At that time, we also felt that there was a problem, so we specially used the Asking Lamp Secret Technique to test her, but the result was nothing unusual, the woman did not lie. Alas, it turned out that we had believed in the secret art passed down too much, and it wasn't long before we went to look for the woman again, she was already missing, and we set out to track down her identity. After a check, we found that the identity and origin of this woman was like a blank piece of paper, and there was not even a trace of it to be found, as if someone had erased all traces of her existence in this world. ”
"We were deceived by that woman, or rather, by the thousand-year-old secret art of asking for lanterns. After the woman's disappearance, we shifted the focus of our investigation to the travel company mentioned by the woman, and we planned to force them to give the location of the ancient town, but under the investigation, we made a major discovery, the origin of the company is extraordinary, there is a strong international background behind it, and the real control of the company is the foreign church power. ”
Now I am completely confused, how can this involve foreign church forces?
Uncle Chen's expression also became solemn, "In the era of peace and prosperity, the Xuanmen of Shenzhou has been unified on the surface and accepted the management of the Taoist Association, and when it comes to foreign church forces, the things involved in this are no longer beyond our control." And the collusion between the Heavenly Witch Sect and the church forces has been a tacit fact for everyone, so it is impossible to ask the address of the ancient town openly, just at this time, the old man received a mysterious letter, which stated that the company would have a tour group to the ancient town, and the letter also attached a tracing drawing of a copper bell, so the old man mixed into the tour group. ”
As soon as Uncle Chen's words fell, I asked impatiently, "Wait a minute, copper bell?" Could it be a bronze bell engraved with a mantra to suppress evil spirits? ”
"Do you know the Evil Suppression Spell?" Uncle Chen was even more surprised.
Ignoring his shock, I described the appearance of the copper bell, and even found a blank piece of paper and pen to draw the string of anti-evil spells on the copper bell that I remembered. Because I was too focused on painting, I didn't notice the shocked expression on Uncle Chen's face at this time, and when I finished tracing all the twelve evil spells, I raised my head and just wanted to ask him if the incantations on the copper bell were these, but I saw that Uncle Chen's jaw was so shocked that it was about to fall to the bed, and I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of expression did my heart say? It should be me who should be surprised, if I guessed correctly, revealing the information of the ancient town to the company, selling the copper bell to Luo Yi, and sending the letter to Uncle Chen should be the same person, the person behind the biggest conspiracy in the ancient town.
The look of shock on Uncle Chen's face did not decrease at all, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at me with a trembling hand: "You... You... Evil Suppression Mantra, you... You can still draw it if you remember it? ”
Because of his excitement, Uncle Chen's face turned red, but I don't know why, although the lines of these twelve evil spells are a bit complicated and not easy to remember, if you have the heart to memorize, it is not difficult to remember!
I nodded and asked him, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you, could it be that these spells are difficult to remember?" ”
Uncle Chen had already controlled his emotions at this time, but he still couldn't hide his shock in his expression, he suddenly smiled, did not answer my question, but said inexplicably: "Haha, providence, providence, senior brother, you unintentionally contributed to the positive result, now you can blind, you can blind, okay, good!" ”
Luo Yi and the doctor, the three of us looked at each other and felt puzzled, but Uncle Chen did not explain, but changed the topic and did not continue to talk about it. He looked at me with a kind smile on his face: "Both of them call you reporters, my old man is not hypocritical, from now on, we will talk about each other as equals, and I will also call you reporters in the future, haha, by the way, you just asked the evil mantra on the copper bell, yes, it is the few you draw." ”
The sudden change in the old man's attitude made me feel very bad, but I had no choice but to tell my speculation about the copper bell and the conspirators behind the ancient town.
After listening to my narration and analysis, Uncle Chen's face also became solemn, and he said: "If the matter is really as you said, it will be much more serious, the biggest conspirator you said is likely to be the Heavenly Witch Sect, if it is the Heavenly Witch Sect, then its purpose in doing these things is obvious." ”
"Open the node forbidden land, connect to hell, and summon the dark witch god?" The doctor, who had not intervened, frowned slightly, and took Uncle Chen's words and said.
Chen Bo nodded, "The Nine Lotus Divine Sect, the predecessor of the Heavenly Witch Sect, acted viciously, more than a hundred years ago, in order to open the node forbidden land, they actually introduced the two warlords at that time into the forbidden land for a decisive battle, causing both parties to die together, and with this blood sacrifice, they broke through the node forbidden land. Now they are constantly introducing people into the ancient town to die, a method similar to that of the Nine Lotus Cult at that time. ”
I gasped and asked, "So, does the ancient town really have a node forbidden land?" ”
This time, it wasn't just me, the doctor and Luo Yi all looked at Uncle Chen, waiting for him to give an answer.
Chen Bo looked at me, then at the cloth bag in his hand, and sighed: "Before I met you, I wasn't sure, but now, I'm almost 100% sure that this ancient town is a node forbidden land. ”
The doctor asked, "Why do you say that, is there anything special about the reporter?" ”
This is also what I want to ask, so I heard Uncle Chen explain: "Doctor Fang Cai is right, I am indeed not here just to find my senior brother, I actually came here for three purposes: first, to find the whereabouts of my senior brother, even if it cannot be found, we must determine his life and death; Second, it is also to find out whether there is a node forbidden place here, which is also the most important point; As for the third point, it is a private matter that belongs to the mountain gate, and it should not be told to you originally, but now that we are equal friends, since we are friends, it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
"In fact, the person who sent back the senior brother's belongings was that woman, in addition to the senior brother's belongings, she also brought out something from the ancient town that was very important to my Zhengqianmen, which was lost with one of the ancestors of the mountain gate in the battle with the Nine Lotus Divine Sect a hundred years ago. We speculate that the patriarch may have sat in the ancient town, and in addition to taking away the inheritance, the patriarch had two other important things, and the third purpose of my visit is to recover those two lost things. ”
I nodded, this is human nature, in the face of such a major event as the inheritance of the sect, the Zhengqianmen can still determine the node forbidden land as the primary purpose, which is already very rare, which shows that this Zhengqianmen is indeed a sect that cares about the people of the world, and the dissatisfaction with Uncle Chen in his heart is also much less. However, this still has nothing to do with me, and I can't help but look at Uncle Chen.
"Don't worry, don't worry, and listen to me slowly."
I sighed, and said in my heart, anyway, it was still very early before dawn, and I was not in a hurry.
Luo Yi poured a glass of water for Uncle Chen, he took a sip before continuing: "Senior brother said that he might have found the node forbidden land, but we don't believe it, because since we knew about the existence of the node forbidden land, the entire Shenzhou Xuanmen has been searching for it for more than a hundred years, and there is no trace of it, how can senior brother say that he will find it?" But now that you're here, it proves that this place is indeed a nodal forbidden land. ”
I was about to ask a question, but Uncle Chen grabbed my right hand, lifted the sleeve of my shirt, and the curse of Doom on my arm was suddenly revealed.
"Sure enough, sure enough, that's why......"
