Chapter 221
The ancestors of the five veins of the corpse chasing faction all died in the corpse disaster in the suppression of the Huainan Demon Tomb in their later years.
And the old man of my family was the last one among the disciples of the previous generation of corpse chasers to enter the Huainan Demon Tomb.
Prior to this, Ah Zi's master Honggu, and Zuo Tianmei's master Qiu Niang and other disciples of the previous generation could not escape the curse of fate, and successively entered the Huainan Demon Tomb Nine Hidden Domains to suppress the corpse disaster and died.
Now there are still ten years, ten years later, the old and the new will alternate, and it will be the turn of Ah Zi, a disciple of the Dementor Bell lineage, to re-enter the Huainan Demon Tomb, shoulder the mission of the disciples of the corpse chasing faction, stay in the Nine Shadows Domain, and suppress the corpse disaster for ten years.
Zuo Tianmei, the heir of the pipa lineage, don't look at the usual look of a big sister, willful and strong posture, after drinking, when she mentioned the sad scene of her master's old age, she couldn't help but feel a little disheartened when she thought of the sad fate she would bear in the future.
No matter how amazing you are, no matter how talented you are, you will not escape the predetermined fate in the end.
"Come on! Come! Come! Brother, it's done. After drinking this cup and three more glasses, we don't have much time left, so enjoy! Life must be full of joy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon ......"
Zuo Tianmei raised her glass again and again, a few glasses of bitter wine went down, she drank high, and fell asleep on the table.
I sighed, carried her drunk to the back room, covered the quilt, walked out of the door by myself, sat on the bluestone threshold, looked up at the gradually drooping sunset, smoked and was in a daze.
Countless thoughts flashed in my heart, thinking of the fat man who is still missing, Liu Fangliang, thinking of Huainan Demon Tomb and his party, thinking of Xi Chen, and finally I thought of Ah Zi, and unconsciously took out the letter from the mezzanine of the clothes, the handwritten letter of Ah Zi.
This letter was entrusted by Ah Zi to Zuo Tianmei to be forwarded to me, and I haven't had time to read it these days.
Taking advantage of this, I opened the envelope and found that in addition to a few pages of letters, there was a slightly yellowed black and white photograph.
In what appears to be a dimly lit cave, a white-skinned, black-clad foreigner who appears to be holding a stone in his hand.
"Huh! It's like ......"
I took the photo and studied it over and over again, and I suddenly noticed that the fist-sized stone in the foreigner's hand was shining brightly.
Because it is a black-and-white photograph and the age of the stone, the light on this stone is not very conspicuous, but it can still be faintly distinguished.
I had a hunch that something was at stake, so I carefully put away the black-and-white photo and went to read the letter from Ah Zi.
Ah Zi is still an extremely strong personality, and there are no words of greeting at the beginning of the letter, but it is straight to the topic, and the beginning of the letter mentions what happened on the mountain cliff of Bagong Mountain that day.
The development of things was really similar to what I guessed, at that time, I was pushed off the cliff by Xi Chen, Ah Zi thought I was dead, and she asked herself if she was Xi Chen's opponent, so she could only run for her life alone.
Fortunately, Xi Chen did not do anything to her and let her go, but stood in front of the cliff, as if waiting for something.
After escaping, Ah Zi left Huainan and returned to Zhongzhou, but she was very concerned about me, and she was very happy to send people to inquire about me, and later learned that I was not dead.
The reason why Zuo Tianmei was asked to hand over this letter was because she accidentally saw the photo from an American explorer Pilson, which was the photo sent in the letter.
The foreigner in the photo is a friend of Pilsen's Chinese named Situ Bai, who is also an American explorer.
The spar in Situ Bai's hand in the photo is the crystal of time according to Ah Zi.
For this reason, she personally went to the United States to find Situ Bai's whereabouts.
Although Situ Bai died many years ago, he saw from Situ Bai's descendants the crystal of time that was treasured by their whole family, as well as the diary left by Situ Bai about the expedition to Tibet.
The diary specifically mentions that 40 years ago, during World War II, an expedition led by Situ Bai went to Tibet to investigate the ruins of the ancient Tibetan state, but finally found a mysterious cave in the depths of the Himalayas, which was more like a mining cave, and there were many stones piled up in it that emitted dark red light.
Situ Bai took a stone as a souvenir at that time, which is the one seen in the photo.
This expedition did not go well for them, and the more than 20 experts and local guides who accompanied them, with great curiosity, entered the depths of the ancient mine cave, but finally died mysteriously, and only Situ Bai survived.
The letter also mentioned that Ah Zihua bought Situ Bai's diary with a lot of money, and wanted to invite me to follow the road map left by Situ Bai in the diary to find the ancient mine cave rich in the crystal of time.
She deduced that the ancient mine cave was related to the Western Queen Mother's family, and we had found a lot of Time Crystals in the Huainan Demon Tomb Nine Secluded Domains, and the area around Bagong Mountain was not rich in Time Crystals, and Ah Zi suspected that the source of the Time Crystals of Bagong Mountain was in the ancient mine cave in the Himalayas.
In ancient myths and legends, the Himalayas were called Kunlun Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain has many legends about the Queen Mother of the West throughout the ages.
Although the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" does not mention the crystal of time, it is mentioned that there is a kind of jade that emits red light near the ancient Yao Pond in Kunlun Mountain, called Kunlun Divine Jade.
"Kunlun Divine Jade, all things are hidden in it and immortal."
The description of Kunlun Divine Jade in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is almost identical to the characteristics of the Crystal of Time.
According to Ah Zi, the Kunlun Divine Jade is the Crystal of Time, and Gu Yao Chi should be near this Crystal of Time vein.
Gu Yao Chi is the mother nest of the Queen Mother of the West and the place where the Queen Mother of the West lives. If you find Gu Yaochi and explore the secrets of the Western Queen Mother Clan, you may be able to find a way to eliminate the Western Queen Mother Clan.
There is not much time left for Ah Zi, she doesn't want to die so early, and she doesn't want the corpse faction to bear this terrible curse of fate for generations, she wants to break free from the entanglement of fate and find a way to kill the Queen Mother of the West completely.
As long as we can completely wipe out the Mother Clan of the Western King and never suffer from future troubles, the disciples of our corpse extermination sect will not have to enter the Huainan Demon Tomb for generations to suppress the corpse disaster.
Ah Zi hopes that we can work together to go to Kunlun this time to find the legendary ethereal Gu Yao Pool.
Zuo Tianmei herself also knew about this matter, and she was in favor of Ah Zi's idea.
Zuo Tianmei's purpose in coming out this time, in addition to handing over the letter for Ah Zi, was to actively look for the traces of the other two Yin Yang cymbals of the corpse chaser faction and the down-and-out Qinmen people.
At the end of the letter, there is the contact address left by Ah Zi, which is a foreign company called Zitianxing in Zhongzhou. If I agree, I will go to Zhongzhou to find her in the spring of next year.
