Chapter 239: A Fork in the Road

In the secret room of the ancestral hall of the Tang Gate, the grandmother reverently raised the incense high and bowed.

Tang Jiu'er walked in from inside the stone gate, silently standing not far behind her grandmother, watching her speak softly in front of the tablet.

"Thank you for the blessing of your ancestors, Tangmen Yong'an."

After Grandma put on the incense, she looked at Tang Jiu'er behind her: "It's all dealt with?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Jiu'er nodded: "How do we explain the things inside the door, please show me." ”

"What is there to explain?" Grandma's face was disdainful: "It's just that there are some less moths!" ”

"But there are a lot of people staring at the door."

"I'm here well, no one is stupid."

Tang Jiu'er blinked: "That merit book...... Really from the Jin Wang Taimiao? ”

"I asked Tang Lin to pick it up when the door was celebrated."

Tang Jiu'er raised her eyebrows: "I thought you faked it...... Did you know? ”

"Not long after Shiqi entered the Tang Gate, I knew it."

"But you haven't broken it."

Grandma smiled: "Wouldn't it be more interesting to let the opponent raise the dog, and I will use this dog to bite him again!" ”

Tang Jiu'er whispered helplessly, "You are always like this. ”

"I will never be soft on the enemy."

"You are indeed ruthless enough, calm enough."

Grandma smiled contemptuously: "The opponent is so cunning, if he is not ruthless, how can he deceive." ”

"But it's your body that you're putting in!" Tang Jiu'er's eyes were full of worry: "Those poisons, in the end, still hurt your heart, spleen and meridians." ”

"People will eventually die, and sooner or later the Tang Sect will be handed over to the next master. At best, my end will be sooner. There was no sadness or regret on Grandma's face, only a smile: "As long as the Tang Sect that I finally handed over to Xiao'er is not full of holes, it will comfort my heart." ”

Tang Jiu'er looked at the smile on her grandmother's face, frowned and sighed softly in her heart: Hua Rou, you must be safe and sound......

……

On the edge of the cliff, as soon as the two of them rested, Hua Rou hurriedly pulled out the arrow for Tang Xiao and bandaged the wound.

Tang Xiao has been paying attention to Hua Rou's movements, and there is an unconcealed flow of emotion in his eyes, but Hua Rou didn't notice it, but looked at Tang Xiao's legs worriedly: "Can you still go down like this?" ”

"Absolutely." Tang Xiao said and quickly got up and walked, but the pain made him frown.

"Can you rest a little longer?"

"No!" Tang Xiao shook his head: "Time is limited. ”

"That'...... Hold me up! Hua Rou said that she was already standing in front of Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou but was a little shy, embarrassed to raise her hand.

Seeing this, Hua Rou grabbed Tang Xiao's hand and put it on her shoulder very chicly: "Okay, hold on!" ”

Tang Xiao noticed that the clothes on Hua Rou's shoulders were torn at this time, and he hurriedly took out his coat from his baggage and draped it over Hua Rou's shoulders.

"What are you...... Do? Hua Rou was puzzled, Tang Xiao did not explain, but smiled, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Hua Rou's shoulder: "Let's go!" ”

So, the two of them walked forward to the stone gate.

In addition to the very shiny color, the shape of this stone door is simple.

In the center of the stone gate there is a ring button, and the brick of the stone gate is engraved with text symbols, the pattern is the birds, fish, and the sun they have seen before, but there is less human face, but there is more tree.

"I have an arm injury and can't turn the knob, so you turn three squares to the left and seven squares to the right." Tang Xiao didn't care about the content on the stone door, and after he hurriedly explained, Hua Rou immediately stepped forward and turned the knob.

As soon as the knob was twisted, it made a mechanical sound of "click", and after Hua Rou turned and consciously retreated, the stone door slowly opened a crack.

Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao in surprise.

"That's what Grandma told me." Tang Xiao immediately helped Hua Rou to step forward, reached out and pressed the knob of the stone door, and the stone door immediately opened to both sides, revealing a forked road.

……

In another secret passage, Tang Lin ran to safety with Tang Liuliang on his back and immediately stopped to rest.

"Brother Lone, you are so powerful, I have never heard of you studying formation before, you can actually successfully break through behind my back."

Tang Lin blinked: "This formation...... I happened to read it in a book not too long ago. ”

"Really? What a book, tell me quickly, I'll read it when I get back! ”

Tang Lin patted Tang Liuliang's shoulder: "I don't remember." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Xiao quickly got up at this time and pointed forward: "Look! ”

Tang Liuliang naturally looked forward obediently, and at this glance, he saw the fork in the road in front of him.

"Huh? How is it a fork in the road? ”

"Looks like you and I have to go our separate ways."

Tang Liuliang immediately shook his head when he heard this: "I don't, I'll follow you whichever way you go!" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Tang Lian's eyes: "Liuliang, you listen to me, we came to this place to get the inheritance, you and I go to one side, or we both have gains, or at least one person can get the inheritance, this is not in vain." ”

"But ......"

"Obedient, we can't go home empty-handed." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward to observe the wall at the fork in the road, because he noticed that the wall was engraved with symbols: the left fork in the road was engraved with the symbol of fire and arrows; On the right fork in the road are carved the symbols of the flying bird and the sun wheel.

Tang Liuliang actually didn't care about whether it was passed on or not, he was more interested in taking risks.

But now that Tang Lin said it so clearly, he naturally couldn't let Tang Lin down, so he muttered while walking to the fork in the road on the right: "Okay, I'll listen to you alone, then I'll go this ......"

"You go this way!" Tang Liang suddenly shouted eagerly, startling Tang Liuliang, and turned to look at Tang Liang in astonishment.

Tang Lin hurriedly pointed to the left: "You see that there are arrows and fireworks engraved here, maybe it has something to do with your firearms room." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Tang Liuliang returned, looked at the wall on the left, and then at the wall on the right: "Then what do the crows and circles drawn here mean?" ”

"I don't know, but I'm better than you, like this uncertain, or I'm better." Tang Xiao said and pointed to the left: "You should be sure to go this way!" ”

"Done! Listen to you. Tang Liuliang immediately walked on the left fork in the road: "See you in that moment, Brother Lone!" ”

"Okay."

Tang Liuliang left, and Tang Liang listened to his footsteps gradually disappearing, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he stared at the sun wheel carved on the wall for a moment, and then walked solemnly onto the fork in the road on the right.

When they parted ways, Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao, who was staring at the fork in the road and frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Which way should we go?" ”

Tang Xiao turned his head to look at Hua Rou: "Which way do you want to go?" ”

"Me?" Hua Rou was stunned and looked at the fork in the road and then at the stone gate, and shook her head: "I don't know." ”

Tang Xiao pointed to the wall next to him at this time: "There is a carved pattern on it, you can go and see if it can help you choose." ”

Hua Rou obediently stepped forward to observe the mural.

Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou's back and frowned slightly, he remembered what his grandmother had told him the night before departure......
