Chapter 31: The Lonely Guardian
"They're not people!"
The words that rang in my head were still Wang Dake's words, and at this time I finally understood Wang Dake's fear, what she was afraid of was not Liu Shixi or Lu Yan, but the fear of what was behind them and what was about to be discovered. This fear is deeply ingrained in the human genes, like a child's awe of his mother's nakedness!
There are only gods and demons living on the building wood, what is the Xia family? I had a myriad of questions in my mind that I wanted to ask him, but I didn't know which one to ask!
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Liu Dongxi continued: "For the rest of the time, I have been studying some of the words in front of the genealogy, although I can't fully understand it, but I also understand some meanings after repeated speculation. Liu Dongxi's voice became heavy, and there were even some funny tones in it, "The whole family tree is very long, although it only records the names of the eldest son and grandson, it still occupies three walls. Brother An, can you imagine? The teeny little Kai wrote a full three walls! I didn't count how many people there were, I just looked at the last few names, which I am not unfamiliar with, especially one name! Xia Ranqing! ”
"Liu Ranqing?" I reacted immediately.
"That's right!" Liu Dongxi nodded, "This name was obviously engraved by himself, the strength and style are completely different, and there is a blank space in front of it." ”
"Blank?"
"Yes, if it were me, I would keep it. Because I found that after his name, almost all of them were the names of the heads of my family! Liu Dongxi was silent for a moment, "We've been blank for too long......"
"You mean to say that the head of your family is not actually dead, but has returned to Jianmu?" I asked.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because of our Xia family, we are protecting that place!"
"Protect that place?"
"That's right! Do you remember that ancestral hall? Piles of clothes in there......"
I suddenly remembered the tomb-like relics on the ground of that ancestral hall, the secret weapon that bloomed with infinite brilliance, and a little idea slowly took shape.
"Is it ......?"
"Yes!" Liu Dongxi seemed to know what I was going to say, "The Xia family left Jianmu for some reason more than 10,000 years ago, but every generation will have someone who returns to Jianmu, returns to its roots, and continues to protect that place!" ”
"What is a return to the basics?"
"I don't know, maybe it's just that monster, right?"
Monster? I remembered the humanoid Transformer, "Isn't that Zhang Guoqing?" ”
"There are a lot of variables that we can't say, but I think the so-called return to the original is to become a monster!"
"How is this possible, and if that's the case, how many monsters must there be in that place? Can you let it go? Don't say that those in the water are also your ancestors became! ”
"Those are certainly not!" Liu Dongxi said, "Those things should be alchemy materials that were kept in captivity, and they were released by us later!" ”
"That ......"
"I found a mountain of bones on Jianmu, and I think those monsters have been devoured by the latecomers!"
"What are they protecting?" I don't understand, is it just to protect the so-called elixir?
"Protect eternal life! This is our family's mission! Liu Dongxi's tone was very serious.
I don't understand at all, eternal life is undoubtedly that elixir, but it's a completely deceptive thing, there are really so many names like Liu Dongxi said, I'm afraid that the Xia family has been there for tens of millions of years, and no one has discovered this fact in such a long time?
Wait, I suddenly realized the absurdity in this idea. Tens of millions of years! The Xia family has guarded there for tens of millions of years?
Liu Dongxi's voice began to become difficult, "Brother An, you have thought of it?" ”
I nodded, forgetting that he couldn't see at all.
"Tens of millions of years! I don't even know what I am! Liu Dongxi sighed.
It's absolutely impossible! I tried to sober myself up, "How do you know?" ”
"Although I don't understand all the content at the front end, I have read fifty percent, the mission of the family is what I saw there, and as for the head of the family coming back to guard, it was speculated by Lu Yan and I!"
"And Lu Yan?"
"Even though he just nodded and shook his head, I did tell him everything!" Liu Dongxi said.
"And what are you here for?" I couldn't afford to continue the conversation, so I had to change direction.
"Lu Yan said that the current situation is not right, he wants to take a look!"
"Take a look? What to see? ”
"I don't know!"
"Who is Lu Yan?"
"I don't know!"
I only feel that Lu Yan should also be a member of the Xia family, judging from his familiarity with Xia Zhuang and Jianmu, that antler-like weapon, he seems to belong there. More likely, he should have known everything, but he didn't say it.
Maybe follow him to the end, and all these mysteries can be solved! I sighed and said to Liu Shixi: "Don't care too much, no matter what the past is like, you can't be wrong about being a person, let's take one step at a time!" ”
Liu Dongxi was silent for a moment, "I've been struggling, if it is my family's fate to become a monster guardian elixir, then I should also do it." At that time, I was about to take medicine when I was in the Dan room, but Lu Yan stopped me, saying that it was not time yet! ”
It's not time yet! I silently repeated a sentence in my heart, but I felt sad for Liu Dongxi's family, leaving the world and becoming a monster, guarding something unknown in loneliness and loneliness, waiting for my son to come over and take over this tragic fate. The devouring that Liu Shishi said is probably not so simple. I can imagine that this struggle is definitely not for their own survival, but for their relatives not to continue to endure this pain, and when they win, when they tear at the flesh of their loved ones, what kind of emotions will be in their hearts?
Lu Yan once said, why don't they want to be people?
I don't know what to say, it's cold from head to toe because of this truth.
Liu Dongxi said: "Brother An, Lu Yan is coming back soon, let's get ready to go!" ”
"Really throw them here?" I'm still hesitating.
"What else?" Liu Dongxi asked rhetorically.
"Let them be together! Anyway, these people have also saved me, and you asked me to give up on them, and I can't get over it! ”
"Brother An, when will you not be able to let go of this? What we're going to do next isn't something they can reach, they're just ordinary people and they're just messing it all up. Why is that monster Zhang Guoqing, and why has the world become like this? This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can meddle in! We've made mistakes, and we can't continue to do so! The more people get involved, the more chaotic it will be! ”
"But ......" Liu Shiwu was right, I didn't know how to continue, I thought about it and asked, "Xiao Kan and Wang Dake are also outsiders......"
"They can't be counted!" Liu is a little annoyed!
"Why can't it be counted, they are also ordinary people! I'm an ordinary person too! Ordinary people are also human lives! Go and save the world! I'll lead them out! "I was so angry, and I said it bluntly and hard.
Liu didn't expect my reaction to be so fierce and didn't speak again.
Looking at the blurred headlamp in the fog, I felt that the surroundings suddenly became cold, and all this I just learned made me feel the same fear as Wang Dake, this sudden onset of fear, surrounded me everywhere, making me just want to escape!
