Chapter 357: World Center
After I heard the words of Jedan Dunbardun, a thought immediately rose in my mind, what has happened, it has happened, there is no way to change it, this is the law. In the depths of that unknown gate, no one would know what existed, but the monkey Dajue still returned.
"Where is Dajue? I want to meet him. ”
"Da Jue is still in his residence, if you want to see Da Jue, I will send someone to send you."
I hurriedly spoke to Djedan Dumbardun, and he sent two men to take me out of the inn and to Dajue's quarters.
When I saw the monkey, he didn't seem to have changed, he was still the same. He was as calm and calm as before, but when I sat down in front of the monkey and he looked up at me, I suddenly noticed that there was a deep loss in his eyes.
I think I can probably understand the feeling of loss. It is the disappointment and loneliness of a person who puts all his hopes on one thing, but in the end nothing comes of it.
His gaze clearly told me that he had nothing to gain in that gate. For him, that gate was not only the place where his father disappeared, but also the pivot that saved Zhangxiong's fate. However, it all went up in smoke.
The two of us sat silently opposite each other, and after a long time, I asked him why he wanted to detain the envoy from the Tang Dynasty.
"Whether he is a messenger from the Tang Dynasty or from Chang'an, you and I know it."
"Do you know where he came from?" I was a little surprised, the monkey must have just returned, and then after hearing Bandacsada talk about it, he immediately decided to detain Bao Weigong. In this short period of time, what can the monkey Dajue perceive?
"I know, and you know." The monkey's tone was calm, and he said lightly: "He and you are from the same place. ”
My pupils contracted suddenly, and I understood the excellence of the monkey's great senses.
At the same time, I also felt a little worried in my heart, since Monkey Dajue judged that Bao Weigong and I came from the same place, and he arrested Bao Weigong, then, what would he do to me?
"Don't worry." Monkey Dajue saw my face change back and forth several times in this short moment, and probably knew what I was worried about, he took a bottle of barley wine in a porcelain bottle from the side, and poured two bowls: "You and he are from the same place, but you and him are not in the same group, I can tell clearly, he is him, you are you." ”
"Then why did you detain him?"
"He took a risk, he came here from that place, he must have come for the world, and my people are already in danger, and I don't want any more turmoil." The monkey drank the wine down: "Whatever he came to do, he can't be kept." ”
"Don't!" As soon as I heard that Monkey Dajue was going to kill Bao Weigong, my heart panicked, in this time and space, what Monkey Dajue represents is a powerful force that Bao Weigong and I can't compete with at all, and he wants to kill Bao Weigong, it's as easy as crushing an ant: "Don't kill him!" ”
"You have mercy in your heart." The monkey raised his eyes imperceptibly: "There are many people who are going to die in this world, you want to save one when you see one, can you save it?" ”
"I can't save it, I just want to do my best. Now that you know where he came from, I promise you that I will let him go, and leave here at once, and never come again. ”
The monkey didn't speak, not knowing if he was ignoring my request or thinking alone. I feel that Bao Weigong didn't make any mistakes or cause any trouble after he arrived here, so I continued to plead, hoping to release Bao Weigong.
"A good heart is a good thing, but at the same time, it is also a drag, because you give everything you should have given to others." The monkey took off a sign that looked like a black stone from his body, threw it in front of me, and said, "Take this and go and save him, if you run fast enough to catch up before the execution, he will live." ”
"Where is he!?" I grabbed the black sign, stood up and ran outside, asking without looking back, "Where is he!?" ”
"The torture table at the crossroads."
As soon as I heard this, a cold sweat broke out in my head, I am not very familiar with the overall layout of Dapeng Silver City, but the place where the monkey Dajue lives is near the center of Dapeng Silver City, and the torture platform of the cross excuse is at least four or five kilometers away from here. Even if I ran as hard as I could, it would take me more than ten minutes.
I put aside all my thoughts, and ran with my breath in my breath, constantly being questioned by the parade soldiers along the way, and delaying a lot of time. It is estimated that he was in a hurry, and the wound on his face had recovered a lot, but now it seemed like it was about to explode. I endured the pain, but my speed did not decrease at all, and I ran in the direction of the torture table.
When I ran to the vicinity of Xingtai, I could vaguely see several figures above. My heart was very panicked, I didn't know if Bao Weigong had died, so I tried my best and walked away. The distance narrowed a little closer, and I suddenly saw a bright sword light, which was already raised above the head in the hand of a figure.
"Wait!!" I shouted desperately, grabbed the sign that the monkey had given me, and threw it hard.
The shouting and the sign that galloped past made the knife light up. The people on Xingtai must have known Monkey Dajue's token, so I ran to him, panting and retracting the sign, and dragged the wilted head of Bao Weigong aside.
I was tired and half dead, and Bao Weigong was also scared half to death, but fortunately, I came just right, and if I was a little late, he would be in a different place.
I took Bao Weigong back to the post house, but Bao Weigong refused to go in. I couldn't resist him, so I sat with him under the walls of the inn. The gates were closed at night, and you had to wait until dawn to leave. Bao Weigong was uneasy, and looked around a few times from time to time.
"It's okay now, but never again." I said to Bao Weigong: "Next time, there may not be such good luck. ”
"What did you want to ask about saving me?"
"Don't ask." I shook my head, "I just don't want you to die here. ”
Bao Weigong lowered his head, and after a while, he seemed to grin, and there was a hint of unwillingness and bitterness in that smile.
He said that he had found a very crucial clue from Li Guan's codex, and it was in order to verify it for himself that he took this risk. He did suffer a lot and took a lot of twists and turns to come to Dapeng Silver City, but when he was about to succeed, he fell short. Bao Weigong must be unwilling, but he is a reasonable person, if he continues to fight hard, he will only embarrass himself to death.
This time, Bao Weigong's plan fell through, and he also made it clear that he would not take such a risk in the future.
"Do you want to know the key clue recorded in Li Guan's codex?"
"Will you say that?" As soon as I heard Bao Weigong's words, I was a little embarrassed, I really wanted to know what key information was recorded in Li Guan's codex, but now I am looking for Bao Weigong to ask, it is inevitable that I will take advantage of others.
"That message, placed at another time and place, may be worthless, I can't come back in the future, the message is also worthless." Bao Weigong squinted his eyes, it had come to this point, he was still like an old fox, thinking about my thoughts: "If I'm not mistaken, you are also here to ...... Coming for the legendary world? ”
I smiled and didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
"Then I'll tell you." Bao Weigong statue made a lot of determination: "You saved me, I don't receive favors from others in vain, there may be things that don't bear fruit in my hands, change people, and find out some eyebrows." ”
"Really?" I'm a little incredible, Bao Weigong, an old fritter who has worked hard in the ancient industry for most of his life, has a pole in his heart to do everything, he will do a loss-making business?
"When we do business, in addition to talking about interests, we also have to talk about feelings." Bao Weigong shrunk his neck, looked around habitually, almost close to my ear, and whispered: "I won't talk about other things in the codex, you should not have a short walk on this road, you should know, you know, I will say one." ”
"You say, I'm listening."
"Why did I try my best to come to Dapeng Silver City? Because there is a holy well in Dapeng Silver City. Bao Weigong said: "You came here earlier than me, have you heard of the holy well?" ”
"I've heard that the holy well has been controlled, and no one can approach it."
"Where there are people, there will be a way, as long as you know that the holy well is here." Bao Weigong smacked his lips, and when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to be a little reluctant, after all, this is a clue that he has been studying and exploring for many years, and he said it for no reason, even if it is to repay the grace of saving his life, he feels uncomfortable, I don't urge him, let him digest it by himself.
After a while, Bao Weigong sighed, probably suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, and said: "Under that holy well, there is an article, and in the ancient legend of Zhangxiong, the location of that well is the center of the whole world. ”
That holy well is really unusual. Listening to Bao Weigong's words, and then thinking of what I saw with my own eyes in the holy well, I couldn't help but feel the urge to find out.
The Holy Well, the center of the world? What is the meaning of this center?
Bao Weigong told me in detail for a long time, but he had not explored the holy well, and all he told was the information in the codex. No one can be sure of what is right and who is wrong.
The two of us stayed up here until dawn, and when everything that had to be said was finished, I personally sent Bao Weigong to the city gate and sent him out of the city with the sign of Monkey Dajue.
After sending Bao Weigong away, I immediately returned to Monkey Dajue's residence, the holy well was so tightly guarded, I definitely couldn't get close without Monkey Dajue's permission.
I'll have to find a way to get his permission.
