110. The secret of the king's blood
Recovering from my astonishment, I hesitated and asked, "Are you mistaken, is that really human?" "He had judged that it was a human before, but I classified the monster as an ape-man.
Sheng Shiyao turned his eyes to look at the boulder in the deep pool, "The surface of that stone is made of stone mud, and the words engraved on the original stone below are hidden. But it can hide the surface, but it can't hide the emptiness in the heart for many years, Xiaoxiao, do you know who the person at the entrance of the cave is? ”
Where would I know? I didn't even see it as a person.
Sheng Shiyao didn't ask me for an answer, squinted his eyes and said to himself: "That person is the owner of all the paintings in the ancient building we saw and the collapsed house. I was shocked and glared at him in disbelief, "You said it's the military division?" Didn't the military advisor kill himself in that stone chamber? And it was the ancients thousands of years ago, and no matter how long they lived, they couldn't live until now. ”
Sheng Shiyao's eyes stared at me darkly, "Are you sure that the person who committed suicide must be a military advisor?" "I was choked, the kneeling corpse I saw in the stone chamber, wearing silver-gray armor, the reason why I thought he was the military advisor who painted was because I read the words on the stone tablet. But later, those ancient Chinese characters were deduced by Sheng Shiyao that they were not written by the military advisor, but engraved by the Khitan king in the tone of the military advisor, and the real reason is unknown.
"But even if that silver-armored corpse is not a military advisor, it can't be the person who attacked us at the entrance of the cave, the Khitan culture disappeared thousands of years ago, and it is impossible for a person's lifespan to grow like this." Still, I offer a rebuttal.
Sheng Shiyao was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly muttered: "Heaven died my Khitan, I thought that I could open up a paradise, but I could protect my Khitan clan from being destroyed, how could I avoid it, but I couldn't avoid it, and all my people were wiped out, until the end, I woke up, it was not a natural disaster at all, but this lake is an evil lake, and drinking its water will kill people." Fortunately, my king's blood is pure, and I can resist it, I save it for the sake of protecting my king, endure the pain and drink his blood, and I can save my life and continue ......"
Listening to it, I understood that it was the words written on the boulder in the deep pool, and Sheng Shiyao was able to memorize them all in such a short time. And this content is really shocking, it confirms the fact that the Khitan king did not die at that time, and when it comes to the question of the bloodline of the Khitan king, does the king's blood resist the pollution of this lake? This is the reason why everyone died one after another, but the Khitan king came back to life after being verified to have died suddenly. Presumably, the clever military advisor quickly figured out the reason, and drank the blood of the Khitan king while he was asleep, so in the end, almost everyone died, but he was still alive.
I looked sideways at the others, all of whom were stunned, apparently shocked by what had happened. After waiting for Sheng Shiyao to finish reading, Zhou Tong stuttered and asked, "Wait, Yao...... Brother Yao, who do you say drank the blood of their king, and then drank the water of the lake, and became what you call a monster, and then immortalized for a thousand years? ”
Sheng Shiyao said: "The words on the stone roughly mean that, those words were engraved when he was still rational, when he felt that his body was mutated and something was wrong, he felt that he had to record this history." ”
"What about the ancient Chinese characters in the stone room?" I'm getting more and more confused, why is the mystery getting bigger and bigger, "If the monster you killed at the entrance of the cave is a military advisor, who is the corpse of the silver armor?" Don't...... Could it be the Khitan king? ”
Sheng Shiyao's expression froze, and it took a long time before he spit out three words: "Very likely." ”
My heart shook, and I followed this line of thought. Assuming that the military advisor really didn't die, and mutated into a strange person who attacked us at the entrance of the cave, then he must have lost his reason. And the maze in this cave should have been excavated and set up by him for thousands of years, so he was able to freely find his way out of the maze and bring Liu Yue, Zhou Tong and the other three here. Could it be that this person is sometimes rational, and sometimes irrational, so he will save the three of them? The answer is inexplicable because the man is dead.
The line of the silver-armored corpse in the stone room, since the military division is here, then that person must not be the military division, and the whole village is only left with the military division and the Khitan king, the Khitan king saw his own clan annihilated, felt ashamed of the first emperor, shameless to live in the world, and did not dare to bear the responsibility of exterminating the clan, so he carved words on the stone slab in the tone of the military division, recorded that tragic history, and then committed suicide and died with the clansmen.
In this way, the lines become clear and clear, and I feel reasonable.
After listening to what I said, Sheng Shiyao's frowning brows did not loosen, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Judging from the superficial phenomenon, your inference is the greatest possibility. But ......"
I pricked up my ears to hear what he was saying, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing him continue, I saw that his expression was dark and uncertain, and his eyes were full of doubt. I wondered what the turning point would be after his "but", but I re-sorted through the clues just now, and I couldn't find anything missing.
At this moment, Liu Yue, who had always been silent, suddenly said: "What if the person who committed suicide in the stone room is not the Khitan King?" ”
I shuddered and looked at her in astonishment, something flashing through my mind. Looking back at Sheng Shiyao, I found that his eyes also showed surprise, and then faded inch by inch, and I gradually understood the meaning of his "but" just now. Yes, the corpse of the silver armor is just our speculation that it is the Khitan king, but there is no evidence to prove it. And if the blood of the Khitan king is really as the military advisor said, it can resist the pollution virus in the lake water, is he the only one who used this precious blood to survive?
At least...... At least the military doctor who had diagnosed the sudden death of the Khitan king must have known the inside story. Because with the situation at that time, it was only the military doctor who could find out that the Khitan king was not dead, and then the military advisor decided the plan to hide the unconscious Khitan king in the stone chamber. In the middle, it must have been the same military doctor who diagnosed and treated him, so as to find out that it was the blood of the Khitan king who could resist the "plague".
It must have been very late when this incident was learned, and judging from the paintings, the military advisor chose to hide it to the end, allowing the clansmen to die one by one. There is such a sentence in Sheng Shiyao's words just now: In order to protect the king of Wu, he endured the pain and drank his blood, and he had to save his life. It can be inferred from the literal meaning that the Khitan king did not wake up until the end, and then the military advisor used his blood to continue his life in order to protect the king's vein, and the military doctor must not have died at this time, otherwise the military advisor alone would not be able to save the king.
At this point, the clues are much clearer, and it is certain that at least two people drank the blood of the Khitan king, and they did not die in the end from the water source of the Green Lake. In addition, there is no top secret in the world, the Khitan king must have personal guards and maids, they are the king's close people, if the military advisor pretends to be the Khitan king and is discovered by them, it is very likely that they will overhear the secret. Speculated in this way, it is difficult to say the rigor of the matter of Wang Blood.
Therefore, the silver-armored corpse may be the Khitan king, a military doctor, or the king's personal guard.
"It will never be the Khitan king." Sheng Shiyao suddenly asserted.
I asked, confused, "Why are you so sure?" ”
"Because the military advisor is not dead."
The reason was simple and clear, and it dawned on me instantly. Yes, the military advisor is not dead, he is the king of Baoqidan when he is alive, and he will not let the king commit suicide. No matter who dies in the stone chamber, it will never be the Khitan king.
And if the military advisor is really that monster, and he has survived for thousands of years because of the king's blood, then as the owner of the king's blood itself, has the Khitan king also lived until now? If there is such an unbelievable and unbelievable thing, where did the Khitan king go?
Zhou Xiang leaned on Liu Yue's shoulder, and shouted weakly: "Ah Yue, knock me unconscious, Brother Yao and Little Sister have fallen into evil, and they really believe that someone can live for a thousand years." ”
With a "bang", Liu Yue really took something and knocked on next Zhoutong's head, and reprimanded: "Be serious, Brother Yao's inference is reasonable, you don't intervene." ”
Zhou Tong puffed out his cheeks and argued: "I also have a reason, if that military division is really a thousand-year-old monster, the Khitan King has such awesome blood, and he is not a thousand-year-old demon." ”
"Poof!" The sixth son laughed out loud on the side, and after a while, he had recovered some vitality, but he still had no strength to speak: "A thousand-year-old demon? Lao Zhou, you should be playing a Chinese ghost story. ”
I was also amused by the witty words of the three of them, and to be honest, the high-intensity reasoning just now almost knotted my head. Interrupted by them, I realized that my nerves have been tense, and it's funny to think about it, the ancients thousands of years ago, what are we thinking about here, anyway, it is impossible to go back to the beginning, to verify the truth of history.
Turning his head to look at Sheng Shiyao, he wanted him not to be entangled, no matter whether the military advisor was that thousand-year-old monster or not, he was dead anyway, and it was impossible to dig out the truth from the mouth of a dead man. But I saw that his eyes were not focused on this side, but stared at the dark place of the deep pool, and his face was hidden in the darkness, not knowing what he was thinking.
I can't help sighing, even if I found it, this person is also a tangled master, like to explore and dig unknown secrets, in fact, people still don't know too many secrets, so that life is simple and happy.
"Tiny." The low magnetic voice came softly, I looked at Zhou Tong's side, and saw that they were still arguing there, thinking that the atmosphere was too serious just now, so I deliberately played to ease it. I moved to Sheng Shiyao's side, got closer, and before I could ask him what he called me, I heard him ask, "Do you know where the Khitan King went?" ”
I shook my head and honestly replied, "I don't know." ”
He didn't look at me, his eyes were still fixed in the darkness, and he whispered, "There he is." ”
"Where?" I was surprised that I didn't understand what he meant.
He raised his finger and said, "That! ”
