Li Guan and Bi Tong are on the road of finding the world, and because they have collected a lot of relevant information, the progress is relatively fast.

"According to your meaning, seventeen or eighteen years ago, you got Li Guan's codex?" When I heard this, I asked Bao Weigong: "Did Li Guan record all his experiences in the codex?" ”

"How could I possibly know if his codex didn't record this?"

"Then your progress is slow enough, seventeen or eighteen years, and you are just getting started?" I must have doubts in my heart about Bao Weigong's words, I got a clue more than ten years ago, and it will be delayed until now?

"That's a good question." Bao Weigong was not angry, and explained to me slowly.

In Li Guan's tomb, the codex obtained by Bao Weigong is only a part. Because Li Guan's son didn't know how to write and ink, he took the books at home and did the funeral in a daze, so he didn't screen it, Li Guan's codex was only part of the burial, and the remaining part was not obtained by Bao Weigong.

According to Bao Weigong's speculation, those books and codex that were not buried with him should not be destroyed by Li Guan's family. However, hundreds of years have passed since then, and even if they are not destroyed, there is no great chance that these materials will be preserved intact. But when Bao Weigong got half of the codex, his heart was always itching, and with the hope of trying it, he began to look for Li Guan's descendants.

This is a very difficult job, and Bao Weigong not only sent someone to find it, but also ran out twice. In the middle of more than ten years, there was no gain, and it was not until the first two years that the eyebrows were revealed.

Bao Weigong first found Li Guan's family tree, and according to the records on the family tree, he went to find someone, and sure enough, he found Li Guan's descendants. After probing, inquiring, and negotiating, Bao Weigong learned that at least a thousand books left by the Li family were lost in the family migration. Later, only a box of books remained. In the Republic of China period, someone in the Li family carried out a salvage restoration of these things, and anyway, the one that was preserved in the end was better, that is, half a box.

Bao Weigong's hope is pinned on this half box of surviving books, if there is Li Guan's codex in it, then, the past ten years of hard work have not been in vain, if there is no codex, it will be difficult to find the secret of the world.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, Li Guan's codex was really in this half box of books left, Bao Weigong was ecstatic, and bought the codex at that time.

As soon as the two parts of the codex are integrated, the context is extremely clear, except for a very small part of the content that is missing because of improper preservation, the rest of the records can be clearly distinguished. From Li Guan and Bi Tong officially starting this matter, to before Li Guan's death, their experiences are all in it.

Li Guan and Bi Tong, according to the information, first came to a place called Danmeng. They went through a lot of twists and turns in Danmeng, but in the end they didn't find anything. However, even after returning from Danmeng, the two of them will have a dream together.

"A dream about monkeys." Bao Weigong said: "They can always see a monkey in their dreams. ”

"Monkeys?" I didn't show too many expressions, lest the old fox Bao Weigong could see something from my expression. However, since Bao Weigong has talked about this, then I have to believe that he must know some inside information about this big event.

If he didn't know anything, he wouldn't have been able to tell the monkey plot.

Li Guan and Bi Tong dreamed of monkeys, but did not scare the two of them, on the contrary, they believed that although this dream was weird, it also showed that behind the dream, there must be a deeper secret. The two of them persevered and kept walking in various places, but the transportation conditions at that time were too backward, and they had to waste a lot of time every time they went to each place, and due to problems such as supplies, they could not stay in this place for too long.

After a year like this, Li Guan and Bi Tong suddenly found that behind them, there were some faint, light ink-like black lines. These black lines grew more and more, and finally, they gradually condensed into a face.

"A face suddenly grows out of the back, scary or not?"

"It's scary."

"The horror is yet to come." Bao Weigong smiled and said, "The face behind them can still speak." ”

"Talk? What was said? I pretended to know nothing and continued to ask him to see how much Bao Weigong knew.

"I'm not around, how do I know?" Bao Weigong is a shrewd person, how can he be easily tricked out by me, he smiled again, and said: "Li Guan recorded a part, and most of what that face said seemed to be a guide. ”

It was because of this guidance that Li Guan and Bi Tong combined the information to determine the next place of action. But they wasted too much time, for example, in the place of Ta'er Lake, we drove here, it only took a few days, but Li Guan and Bi Tong had to walk for at least half a year.

Later, Li Guan's body failed, after all, he was old, but with an obsession in his heart and Bi Tong's encouragement, he barely persevered.

Later, they learned about Taal Lake.

The two of them arrived at Lake Ta'er, and found the crevice hidden in the lake that led to the underground space. There must have been some accidents, but they overcame them.

"The two of them have found this place too." Bao Weigong sat on the stone, pointed to the small hole that was blown open by Chen Dong not long ago, and said, "I found this hole." ”

Li Guan and Bi Tong found this small hole, they must have entered it, but this record on the codex happened to be damaged, and the experience after the small hole seemed to be a blank now.

Fortunately, there are not many things that have been damaged, and although the experience during the period is incomplete, some of them are still left.

Li Guan and Bi Tong saw many, many doors, huge and towering doors, in a deep underground space, like tombstones. When Li Guan and Bi Tong discovered so many gates, they were excited. Bi Tong was responsible for sorting out the materials of the Tang Dynasty before, because it was at that time that the Zhangxiong people contacted the Tang Dynasty and sought the secrets of the world, so Bi Tong spent a lot of effort on the materials of the Tang Dynasty.

Some of the materials left by the Zhangxiong people may have recorded that if you find a place full of gates, then it will not be far from the world.

It took Li Guan and Bi Tong so many years to finally find this place with dense gates, and their joy can be imagined.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a wave in my heart. Bao Weigong, the old fox, didn't open his mouth to fool me, he really knows a lot of things, Ta'er Lake, Xiao Mao and I just figured it out today, although I didn't personally run to the small door on the stone wall, but Xiao Mao told me that the depths of the small door are a huge boundless space in the ground, and in that space, there are many, many gates.

It is not known who built those gates and what they were used for. But through Bao Weigong's explanation, I feel that these underground gates have existed at least in the Ming Dynasty, and even in the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Guan and Bi Tong discovered the gates everywhere, they wanted to continue searching, but Li Guan's physical strength was almost exhausted, and he still had leg problems, in this case, Bi Tong, who was still in the prime of life, took on the responsibility of exploring the way, he asked Li Guan to wait in place, and he went to the front to take a look.

As a result, he went for a long time, and Li Guan was a little uneasy, and shouted with all his might, but he didn't get a response. He had rested for so long, and his strength had recovered a little, so he wanted to get up and look for it.

At this time, Bi Tong, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly ran back from a distance, and before Li Guan could say anything, Bi Tong also followed.

The two identical Bi Tong suddenly stunned Li Guan. Not to mention this kind of thing at that time, even now, no one can understand it.

Bi Tong, who ran out first, was caught up by Bi Tong not far from Li Guan. The two sides started a life-and-death struggle, as if there was some deep feud in the sea of blood, and they never stopped. Li Guan looked at this scene dumbfounded, and sat directly on the ground.

When he came back to his senses and wanted to stop him, the fight between the two Bitong had ended, one Bitong was killed on the spot, and the other was also seriously injured, and in less than half an hour, he died of exhaustion.

Li Guan couldn't understand this phenomenon, and he couldn't accept this fact, but the incident had already happened, there were two Bi Tong's corpses in front of him, and Li Guan couldn't tell at all, that was Bi Tong he was familiar with.

He originally wanted to bring Bi Tong back to his hometown for burial, but it was unlikely. In desperation, Li Guan spent a lot of effort to get firewood back from the outside and cremated the two bodies together.

In the end, Li Guan left here alone. Bi Tong's death hit him very hard, and after so many years, Bi Tong is not only his partner, but also a spiritual pillar that supports him all the way.

And, shortly after Bitong's death, heavier blows followed. The face behind Li Guan is as dark as black ink, like a large pustule on the back that festers and then turns into pus and blood, no medicine stone will work, every once in a while, there are thousands of ants on the back devouring and biting the flesh, the pain is surprising, and the itch is surprising. That kind of torture is not something that ordinary people can bear, Li Guan is already old and frail, and he can't bear it.

It was not until this time that Li Guan suddenly realized that once he embarked on this road, he would be inexplicably attacked and retributed, and his goal was not achieved, but he took his life first.

may feel that his days are numbered, Li Guan sorted out and recorded his experience. It is possible that not long after these records were compiled, Li Guan died. Although he is a little old, he has no fatal illness, and his death is likely to be related to the face behind him.
