I screamed, and accidentally caught my fingers on the burning cigarette butt, and suddenly a puff of smoke choked into my lungs, followed by a violent cough, coughing so much that I almost vomited blood, and my brain was buzzing and blank.

Dad was taken aback, and hurriedly came over to help me beat my back, and said while pounding, "You don't have such an exaggerated reaction, do you?" ”

It took me a long time to cough and slowly ease, thinking back to me, Leizi, and Beard who took off the golden jade clothes on the corpse, and Beard was too fucking bastard!

I couldn't accept that this was the case, and I kept telling myself that it was definitely my dad joking with me. Although my grandfather had been dead for many years when I was born, it was my grandfather after all!

"How is that possible? The epitaph clearly reads, isn't that person Chen Guotai? "I still had a little luck and forced myself to refute my father, and suddenly I found that my voice had changed tone, and it felt like I was crying.

Daddy sighed, seemed to fall into memory, and said after a long time: "In fact, the temple at the bottom of the lake was discovered by your grandfather as early as thirty years ago, when we went in once, but did not find the mystery underground, that time your grandfather was ambushed by leeches and was seriously injured, and in desperation, we had no choice but to withdraw." The old man liked the golden jade dress very much, and said that if he could wear it after death, it would be in vain in this life. That was his last wish when he was dying, but at that time, I couldn't pour out the golden jade clothes, so I had to take the risk of burying the old man's body in the temple. ”

I opened my mouth wide to listen to my dad, and my head kept buzzing and shouting, what are you kidding? But that's the way it is, my dad is so old that it's impossible to joke about my grandfather's death, even if I can't accept it anymore, it's an ironclad fact.

However, with the shocking news from my father, I had more questions, it seems that my father has entered the temple at the bottom of the lake for the second time, what is hidden in that bronze building model? Let Daddy risk his life to go in twice! What is the secret of that truth that Daddy said? Originally, I was going to ask these questions clearly, but now that I think of my grandfather's corpse, my mind is even more confused.

Eventually, I couldn't resist asking. Dad was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hum voice: "Since you have been dragged in, it is meaningless for me to hide it from you." But the answer to the question can only be found by entering the Nine Shadows Palace, and your question can only be answered at that time. ”

I don't understand, why do you have to find any answers to the pain?

Dad smiled helplessly: "It's very simple, just like the nature of you who have to find the answer with me, no matter what, you won't give up." At the same time, this is also the last wish of several generations of our family. Originally, I thought that I would be able to find a clue about these things in my generation, in fact, I was also tired, I didn't want you to live my life, so from childhood to adulthood, you lived in a peaceful world, but I was a bad move, I never thought that Lao Yu would pull you into this world so easily. ”

"So what are you looking for?"

"That's the secret truth."

I'm dizzy, what is the secret that makes you so virtuous?

Daddy patted me on the shoulder and said, "Look, it's going around and back, if I knew what this secret is, then I can find the answer to the question directly, right?" This secret is what I said, the truth of a kind of thing, but it represents a thing, not a thing, I can't describe it, I can only understand it when I see it. ”

After saying this, I didn't ask anything more, because I could see a kind of confusion in my father's eyes, and it was clear that he was also troubled, and he didn't know everything.

That afternoon, Daddy called us into a tent and began to plan our next steps. The first thing to figure out is what the ciphertext on the dragon scale Tonghu is talking about, so Dad politely asked Yang Lao about this question.

Yang Lao was very cooperative, and said the content of the ciphertext he knew, and at the same time, Dad also took out the dragon scale Tonghu he found in the temple at the bottom of the lake, and compared the two, and found that what was recorded above was actually a kind of narrative poem, and the general meaning was translated like this.

Earlier, Yang Lao had already told us about Changliuhou's entry into the Nine Shadows Xuangong, and the cipher text said that later Changliuhou found that he had some abilities that ordinary people did not have, such as longevity, at first he thought that he was drinking the relationship of Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew, and he was a little complacent, but after a long time, he found that he began to be afraid of the sun, whenever he was exposed to the sun, his skin had a pain of being burned by the fire, and as a last resort, he could only wrap himself in thick clothes, and people thought he was a strange person, and time flew by. More than 100 years later, he found himself much younger, but he was even more afraid of the sun, and hiding in his clothes had completely lost its effect.

In desperation, Chang Liuhou could only wait until the dark night to go out, day after day, the pain of being trapped at home during the day made Chang Liuhou worse than death, and then he realized that the real reason why Gaxian stayed in the Nine Shadows Xuan Palace and couldn't come out, the side effects of that kind of elixir and jade dew were really terrifying. So he decided to enter the Nine Shadows Palace again and pray for Gaxian to relieve his hardship.

The matter suddenly broke down here, Ah Jiu and I listened attentively, and thought that Yang Lao was tired, and after waiting for a long time to find that there was no follow-up, Ah Jiu couldn't bear it, and said hurriedly: "Old man, don't gasp, what's next?" ”

Yang Lao also smiled helplessly and said, "It's gone." ”

I couldn't help but laugh, so I asked Yang Lao: "Old man, since you know that immortal elixir has such side effects, why are you still so persistent?" Yang Lao squinted and smiled: "Young people can't understand the pain of dying of old people, if what is recorded in the ciphertext is true, I would rather stay in the house every day than die!" "I thought to myself, indeed, it's me, if I can live forever, even if I can't see the sun, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to play games at home every day, besides, now the society is prosperous, the nightlife is rich, there is nothing bad, it seems that the fate of the long-term marquis is not good, if there is such a nightlife like today's in his era, he will definitely not be distressed. However, what is recorded in the ciphertext is too suspenseful, and it is still up to debate whether it is true or not.

At this time, Dad set his eyes on Yu Su and said, "Xiao Su, since we have decided to cooperate, resource sharing should be put in the first place, please take out your dragon scale child tiger too." ”

Yu Su frowned, glanced at Li Weiji, and did not speak. Li Weiji smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Dear Su, look at me, it's useless. Even if Qiu Tucker is not dead, he will cooperate with Lao Guan, because, we need it" Yu Suyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you don't have to educate me." After speaking, he took out a small brocade box from his package and handed it to his father.

Daddy nodded, took out the dragon scale Tonghu from the brocade box, glanced at it, handed it to Yang Lao, and said, "Old man, I have to trouble you." ”

Yang Lao silently took the dragon scale Tonghu and began to translate the ciphertext above.

The events recorded on this child tiger are just in line with the previous ones. The Marquis of Changliu finally came to the Nine Shadows Xuangong after a lot of hardships, but what made him desperate was that Gaxian was long gone, he had almost searched the entire Nine Shadows Xuangong, and had not been able to find any signs of Gaxian. It was a forbidden place for mortals, and it was the place where the Xianlun King was suppressed, on the way to the main tomb of the Xianlun King, Changliuhou encountered the obstruction of many traps, and almost lost his life several times, and later he found out that any mechanism in the Nine Shadows Xuangong was particularly closely related to one thing, that is, Hetu!

I have heard of the legends and historical records of Hetu, it is said that this is a book of wisdom and enlightenment of the ancestors of the Chinese nation. However, this river map was also called the Book of Heaven by the ancients, and no one could understand the strange symbols on it.

However, that Changliu Hou is a prodigy of the ancient times, this person claims to be able to interpret the river map, translate the Luo book, and gain insight into the heaven and the earth, but when he encounters the mechanism of the Nine Hidden Palaces, although he knows that this mechanism must come from the river map, he can't solve it anyway, and suddenly sighs, how can the mystery of the heaven and earth described in the river map be seen by an ordinary man?

But Changliuhou did not give up, thinking hard day and night in the underground palace, trying to crack the mechanism of the Nine Shadows Xuangong, there was no sun and moon in the underground palace, and I don't know how much time had passed, and finally he penetrated the mystery of the mechanism, and broke through the last mechanism of the coffin room where the fresh wheel was buried in one fell swoop, and the moment he entered the coffin room, Changliuhou was completely shocked, he saw

When Yang Lao said this, he suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face froze a little.

We were taken aback, thinking that the story had been broken again here, and hurriedly asked Yang Lao: "What can't he see?" ”

"God!" Yang Lao's tone was a little excited: "He saw the world of God, he unlocked the code of Hetu, and saw the truth of this world!" ”

"What truth?" We asked in unison.

"The truth of the world!" The corners of Yang Lao's mouth trembled slightly.

"Nonsense!" Ah Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "The question is what is the truth of the world? What does this phrase mean? ”

Yang Lao shook his head: "The cipher text didn't say it." ”

Ah Jiu was suddenly angry, got up and grabbed Yang Lao's collar, and shouted, "Are you hiding something from us?" ”

Yang Lao closed his eyes, ignoring Ah Jiu's rudeness, and his expression was a little painful or disappointed.

I can understand Yang Lao's mood now, so many of us have worked so hard to find the Dragon Scale Tonghu, and finally came here, and so many people have died to pay the price, but the translation on the Dragon Scale Tonghu turned out to be such a noncommittal and vague result.

Daddy frowned, pulled Ah Jiu away, and then asked Yang Lao: "Did the cipher text say how the mechanism of the Nine Shadows Xuan Palace was unlocked?" ”

Yang Lao shook his head, his face was like ashes, and said: "The above only says, the way of the mechanism, the green dragon sinks into the abyss, the white tiger flies into the sky, the Vermilion Bird Nirvana, and the Xuanwu corpse." ”

"What do you mean? This sentence is also too contrary to the principles of Feng Shui! Ah Jiu looked at Yang Lao suspiciously, and said, "It shouldn't be that you are fooling us, right?" Dad waved his hand to shut up Ah Jiu, and said: "Don't think of feng shui as a dead principle, the use of feng shui lies in the use of it, I think these sixteen words must hide the mystery of the Nine Shadows Xuangong mechanism." ”

Elder Yang let out a long sigh: "I can't imagine that old man, I have been running all my life for the record on Tonghu's secret text, and I have so many lives on my back, and in the end it turned out to be such a result." ”

Daddy lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and said, "I don't think it's a big deal, because we're not there yet." ”

"Uncle Guan is right!" At this time, Yu Su finally spoke: "What we get now is only the result recorded on Tong Hu, and the real result we haven't seen yet, so we can't just give up." ”

I especially don't like this argument, you can't give up to achieve your life goals, that's right, but for a vague goal and an unrealistic life, no matter how persistent and unscrupulous, what can you get in the end? So I said: "The ending recorded on the dragon scale boy tiger is too vague, it is simply an ethereal thing, do you want to be so serious?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, everyone looked at me with a strange look, and I was stunned all of a sudden.

Dad looked at me with a smile and said, "It's great if you can think so, Ah Jiu, tomorrow you escort him back to Beijing." ”

I was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Why? You're not going back with me? ”

Dad shook his head: "I think this matter will end in my generation, I can't give up until I get the result, otherwise after I go down, I won't be able to report to your grandfather, this is fate." ”

This is Xiao Dao suddenly said: "Guan Ye, the night owl already knows the identity of Xiao Guan Ye, and he can't escape this fate." ”
