Chapter 269: Doubts
The next day, Luo Jia came early and knocked on the door, Wen Jun woke up, saw her husband and sisters with tired faces, and said angrily: "Sure enough, last night, the four of you took advantage of me to fall asleep." ”
Seeing this, Xiang Lu immediately let out a "shhhhhh
Wen Jun didn't care, and continued: "You four were too lewd last night! One man and three women, naked, doing that kind of thing next to me! ”
Xiang Lu listened, put his mind at ease, and said, "I'll call you next time!" ”
Ling'er and the others also laughed.
Xiang Lu walked on the island, toured the scenery of the island, walked to the door of the Changsheng Cave, and saw that the stone tablet was engraved:
The mountain of eternal life, do not come near. The love of the world, not envious of the good face.
Xiang Lu thought to himself: What does this sentence mean? If the Pearl of Penglai is an elixir, why are there no immortals on this island? Are those who don't die being killed by man?
Thinking of this, Xiang Lu decided to ask the old man on the island to see if he could find out any news.
Xiang Lu found an eighty or ninety-year-old man and asked, "Old man, I heard that there is an elixir of life in the Immortal Mountain, and you can live forever!" ”
The old man sighed and said, "Nonsense, how can there be that kind of medicine, there are monsters in Changsheng Mountain." I heard my grandmother say that the ancestors of the void left a stone tablet and did not let people enter the Immortal Mountain, but his granddaughter seemed to know some secrets, and was the first to break into the Immortal Mountain, and then his granddaughter's face remained unchanged for several years, and the women around her were very envious, so they asked her and followed her, and finally more and more women discovered the secret, and more and more women looked old. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Good what? The women's children and husbands have mysteriously disappeared, and others say that God is punishing them for their agelessness. ”
Xiang Lu suddenly had a question, thinking: Could it be that the faces in the cave are all those women's.
"What happened to those women?"
"My grandmother's ancestors once engraved the events of that day on the easternmost side of the island, and I don't know what happened to those women, maybe they were taken away by the gods!"
Xiang Lu thanked the old man, and immediately went to the east of the island to find the big stone carved back then, Xiang Lu carefully looked at the painting on it, and saw that a group of warriors with knives were carved on it killing a group of hideous demon girls.
Xiang Lu seemed to understand something, and returned to Luo Jia's house. I happened to see a knife hanging in the main hall of Luo Jia's house, and Luo Jia was trying to take it down and wipe it.
"Luojia, what is this knife?"
"This knife is handed down from our ancestors, and we have one in every family, and legend has it that it can kill monsters!"
After hearing this, Xiang Lu fell into thinking again, and always felt that everything, from Xu Fu finding an ageless beauty to the knife in Luo Jia's hand, was inextricably linked.
"Oh no! Someone has broken into Changsheng Mountain! The elders shouted.
Xiang Lu hurriedly walked out, and the elders came angrily.
"Say, have you ever been to Immortal Mountain? Stealing a purple bead. ”
Ling'er and the others happened to come back, and when they heard it, they all felt weak and didn't dare to answer.
"Great Elder, why did you say that you stole a purple bead from Brother Lu?" Luo Jia asked.
"How could I not know? According to the rules left by the great elders of the past generations, I would go to the cave every few days to check the number and find that there was one missing. ”
When Xiang Lu heard this, he knew that it was difficult to hide it.
After thinking about it for a moment, Xiang Lu came up with another idea and asked, "Great Elder, do you know what the beads are inside?" Maybe after a thousand years, it suddenly disappeared on its own! ”
"Yes! That's a monster, and a monster usually disappears on its own. The islanders whispered.
When the Great Elder heard what the surrounding islanders said, he was silent for a moment, because he didn't know what the beads were.
