Xiao Fan was talking about Earl Gary whom we had rescued when we were making trouble at the Manor of Kerryrut, and since then, he has given us the civilization stick that he has brought with us to find him if necessary. Unexpectedly, he was close friends with the German Frank family, and it seemed necessary to ask him to go out of the mountain to help.

The stakes are very high, Xiao Fan and I personally came to the Kerrut Manor again with the token, and Earl Gary greeted us at the entrance of the manor early, "Oh, dear dragon, I didn't expect to meet so soon." ”

Seeing him proud, I couldn't help but smile, "Haha, Brother Gary, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're getting more and more energetic." ”

"Of course, since that angel healed me, I now know what a human life is. Oh, and you also brought a beautiful young lady, don't you want to introduce it? "Gary was obviously happy to see us.

I hurriedly introduced: "This Miss Zhang Shifan, the daughter of the head of the Zhang family, is my good friend. ”

Gary made a gesture of please, "Hello, beautiful young lady." Welcome, I've prepared a banquet and we'll talk while we eat! ”

We walked into a huge ballroom on the estate, with a table full of sumptuous food and wine. At the banquet, after a brief politeness, I told him the purpose of the trip, hoping that he could help.

Gary agreed, then asked, "No problem, what do you need me to do?" ”

"I would like to allow us to take a look at the 'Congenital Ciphertext' before Mr. Frank officially hands over to the Huaxia government", we just want to know the information above. I replied earnestly.

Gary was a little puzzled, "It's that simple?" Why don't I help you get this thing over directly? ”

"No, Gary. These things do not belong to us, nor do they belong to any individual, they are our cultural relics in China. If it weren't for the reason, I wouldn't even ask for a look, I hope you can understand. I explained again sincerely.

Gary was silent for a moment and gave me a thumbs up, "Dragon, you're a decent gentleman. No problem, it's up to me, when do you need to meet him? ”

"The sooner the better, because in just a few days, the Huaxia government will be in contact with him." I replied.

Gary smiled, "Okay." I'll be in touch with him in a moment and wait for my news. ”

Earl Gary was indeed very efficient, and the next day came the news that Frank was willing to borrow our "Innate Cipher Spectrum" to take a look. We meet Frank under Gary's introduction, and see the "Innate Ciphertext". It is said that it is a literary spectrum, but in fact, it is two or three marble slabs, each of which is engraved with dense small characters on both sides, and we dare not slack off, carefully photographing all the information.

Frank was curious and told us that the stone slabs were brought back from Huaxia by his grandfather, and were supposedly obtained from an ancient tomb. His grandfather, who served the German military in World War II, once went on a secret mission to China and never returned, leaving behind only a letter and a pile of cultural relics. The letter said that he had done too many wrong things in his life, and hoped that future generations would one day return everything to China.

After listening to Frank's story, I guessed that the German on the island of Lost Taifu was his grandfather. After a long groan, he still chose not to tell him the truth, not because he didn't trust him, but because he was afraid that he wouldn't bear to look for it for a while, and some places were better not to be disturbed anymore.

Because we are concerned about what is recorded in the "Dragon Turtle Shell Heavenly Book" and what kind of relationship there is with Xu Fu, we say goodbye to Gary in a hurry. Before leaving, Gary took out the civilization stick and handed it to me, "Dragon, take it, I'm honored to know you." This is a testimony of our friendship, no matter what happens in the future, just come to me for something, I will do my best! ”

I took the civilization stick with both hands, "Thank you, Brother Gary. Then take the first step and come to China when you have time! ”

"No problem. Goodbye, my friend. Say hello to the angels on my behalf! Gary said goodbye.

After returning to Zhang's house, we took out the tortoise shell and the ciphertext text that we photographed, and the task of cracking it fell to Xiao Fan, who has been proficient in ancient books and wild history since she was a child, and has a deep study of ancient characters, hoping that she can bring us good news.

During this period, I have not been idle, I have been preparing the next plan of action, and at the same time, I will sort out the treasures obtained during this period of time again to see if there is any difference in harvest.

Just when I was still struggling with my own nothing, good news came from Xiao Fan's side, she cracked the sixteen words on the front of the tortoise shell. I summoned Lao Jiang and others to listen to the results of Xiaofan's interpretation. These sixteen words are a sentence every four words, and they together are: Moyang Shengjing, colorful divine stones, winding paths, domineering and secluded.

"Moyang Shengjing, colorful divine stones. These first two sentences should refer to the location, where does Moyang Shengjing refer to? I thought.

Lao Jiang and Old Man Zhang were both a little surprised, and looked at us with a bad face. "Two old men, what's wrong with you?" I saw that they didn't look right.

Lao Jiang looked at Old Man Zhang and asked with his eyes, and the latter nodded. Lao Jiang then said: "Throughout the ages, there is only one place that can be called Moyang Shengjing. ”

As soon as I heard the door, "Then dare to be kind, quickly say where is it?" ”

"The last refuge of the Warring States Mo family, the Promised Land." Lao Jiang said word by word.

I realized that something was wrong, "Strange, this tortoise shell is placed in the hands of the statue of the Silkworm King, how can it have anything to do with the Mo family?" Lao Jiang, are you sure you can't be mistaken? ”

Lao Jiang replied affirmatively: "It won't be wrong. Brother Zhang and I vouched for our lives. ”

Old Man Zhang also echoed: "Well, we will never remember this place in our lives, this is one of the most terrifying places we have ever been." ”

"Oh, you've been there? That shouldn't be wrong. "It seems that they have been through a lot in that place.

Xiao Fan said: "I have a guess that this tortoise shell may not be the one in the hands of the original Silkworm Cong King." When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood, "You mean that Xu Fu made a transfer, and this tortoise shell was left by him, in order to point to the clues of the next step of the 'Dingqin Sword'." ”

Everyone agrees with this speculation, it seems that things should be like this, as for why Xu Fu chose that place, I am afraid it will become a permanent mystery. "The last two sentences, the winding paths are secluded, domineering and hidden, but they are really a bit unfathomable." I touched my chin and muttered to myself, "Looks like you'll only know when you get there." ”

Unexpectedly, when Lao Jiang heard what I said, he reacted violently: "No, you can't go to that place!" I was a little puzzled when I heard it, I had never seen Lao Jiang so nervous, "What's the matter, Lao Jiang, is there really such an evil sect in that place?" ”

Before Lao Jiang could speak, Old Man Zhang preemptively said: "Xiao Fan, you know what kind of scenery our four elders were, known as 'green mountains and picturesque'. Do you know how your Uncle Zhang Qingying's left hand and Uncle Zhang Rudan's right foot are disabled? ”

Xiao Fan and I were very surprised when we heard it, listening to what Old Man Zhang meant, two of the four elders were disabled, and it was related to this place called Moyang Shengjing. Xiao Fan asked: "Father, do you mean that the eldest uncle and the third uncle are because they are ......?"

Without waiting for Xiao Fan to finish asking, Old Man Zhang gave an affirmative answer, "Back then, we were also in the prime of life, and we gathered about two dozen masters to go to that place, but only six of us came out alive, among which your uncle and third uncle were seriously injured and disabled, and the others died inside." ”

My eyes widened as I listened, and I had an expression of incredulity. You must know that in terms of ability and qualifications, Old Man Zhang and the four elders are definitely masters among the masters, not to mention that there are so many masters accompanying them, such a team is a first-class existence wherever it is placed. What is it that makes them so devastated?

Lao Jiang seemed to be immersed in painful memories, and couldn't stop sighing and shaking his head. Old Man Zhang continued: "Since then, I have gradually realized that all fame and fortune treasures are floating clouds, only love and righteousness are real, these artifacts cannot be taken by man, it is better to let them sleep forever." If I'm not mistaken, Xiaolong was also accepted by Lao Jiang after this, I think you also had this idea at that time. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the Three Kings Sword had too much to do with this time, I wouldn't have let you take such a risk. Do you know, every time you go out, Lao Jiang and I are very scared, afraid that you will never come back. Old man Zhang said movingly.

After listening to the old man's words, Xiaofan and I couldn't let go for a long time. Yes, adventuring everywhere all day long, you are happy, have you ever thought about how worried your relatives and friends are, for the so-called treasures and fame, is it worth it? Is that all there is to the point of adventure? No, it's not like that!

"Lao Jiang, Mr. Zhang, I think what you said is right. However, I believe that people live in the world, not only with family, friendship, and love, but more importantly, with responsibility. Such an adventure is naturally wrong for the sake of one's own pleasure, but when the heavy responsibility is on our shoulders, we should not retreat from the fact that our adventure can be exchanged for the peace of others. I said it in a stern manner, I never thought that these words would come out of my mouth.

"Papapa" Beichen didn't say a word just now, but at this time he stood up and cheered for me, with a look of emotion on his face, "No matter when, I'm behind you." ”

Lao Jiang and Mr. Zhang listened to my words and didn't speak for a long time. I thought to myself, it's bad, didn't you say something serious just now, don't be really angry with the two old men. Xiao Fan glanced at me next to me, and I was about to say a few words to relieve it, but Lao Jiang spoke first: "I really didn't expect that our two old men are not as thorough as you are a hairy boy, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves!" ”

Old Man Zhang also said with relief: "Well, there are talents from all over the country." Xiaolong is right, being a human being should take responsibility. In that case, we will tell you what we know, so that you may be prepared in advance. ”

I was overjoyed when I heard this, and hurriedly asked them about the specific situation at the beginning. Lao Jiang pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "It's called Paradise, it's really purgatory!" ”
