Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ancient Knife of Darkiron
He didn't care about our eyes, he just caressed the knife gently like a treasure, like caressing his closest lover, extremely gentle and meticulous.
"Master Mo, you put this knife here?" Liu Yang asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Mo Ranchen just shook his head and said, "I don't remember." ”
Liu Yang felt that he didn't hear the answer he wanted, and said with some loss: "Young Master Mo, why do you have such a poor memory at such a young age?" Such a big thing, what else can't you remember? ”
His question is actually a problem in the hearts of each of us, but we didn't say it, and Liu Yang never kept the door open.
I saw Kong Xian wink at me, presumably reminding me that his previous speculation that Mo Ranchen was awakened by a fawn from the coffin was another possibility. If this is really the case, the purpose of Mo Ranchen's departure is not for money like us, but probably to make it impossible for the prince to be resurrected again.
I winked at him and gave him a small look, meaning to ask him, if it was really what he had guessed, would it affect us?
He shook his head and smiled, shrugging his shoulders to indicate that he wasn't sure, but his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't think there would be any trouble.
Mo Ranchen picked up the knife on the desk, put it in his hand and played it twice, and then held it tightly.
"Is this knife special?" I saw that Mo Zhanchen cherished it so much, so I asked.
He nodded and said, "This knife is made of dark iron, it is very sharp, and we can go out with it." ”
"What?" We were all very surprised, there seemed to be hundreds of human-faced bamboos outside, how could he solve it with a knife in his hand? However, Mo Ranchen's eyes revealed a very confident feeling, coupled with the fact that he has prestige in our hearts, so we can't help but believe what he says.
Mo Ranchen didn't mean to explain to us, he took the knife in his hand and began to climb up the ladder, and we quickly followed him up with an incredible mood.
But I had just stepped on the stairs with one foot, but Kong Xian at the back suddenly pulled my collar and said mysteriously, "Come here, show you something." ”
I followed him to the far right corner, where there was a picture scroll on the wall. The paper of the scroll has been yellowed and curled up, and it looks very old and worn.
"What are you doing here?" I jokingly asked, "You don't want to get this painting back and sell it for money, do you?" We really want to rub antiques, and also rub some Tang Bohu's beauties and the like, what is this? ”
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, and said, "Beauty doesn't have it here, this is a production diagram, and these dense characters on it write the production process of human face bamboo and the medicine that needs to be collected." I just took a closer look at it, this human-faced bamboo is actually a kind of Gu insect raised in the human head, but it is most of the failures, and only a very small number of human heads have been raised into the human-faced bamboo This kind of Gu. ”
"My God, do you call that a very few?" I looked at him in amazement.
"Yes." He nodded and replied, "At that time, a large part of the Gu that raised this kind of human-faced bamboo failed, so we would see so many human heads hanging under the eaves. The reason why there are so many people facing bamboo outside now is that they were all bred later. ”
I shook my head, "There is really no one who can reproduce this thing, and I don't know how to engage in family planning, so don't all such a huge number of mountains have to be eaten up by them?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, there's got their food down there."
As soon as Kong Xian finished speaking, I waved my hand and put an end to this topic. Now that I had a chance to be alone, I directly blocked him in the corner and asked, "Don't talk about this yet, I'm asking you seriously, what did Kong Ze say when he pulled you into the small room before?" ”
"Didn't I say it all?" He looked, why are you still looking at me?
I raised my head and said, "I said, I know how many roundworms you have in your stomach, and you can fool them, and you can still fool me?" ”
"Huh." He raised his lips and chuckled, "You've put all your brains on me, but it seems too early to tell you about it." ”
"Early?" I glared at him with a vicious look, "You're going to tell me the when you're going to keep this for the grave?" ”
"Don't talk about it so sadly."
"Oh my God, you still think I'm mourning, we're struggling step by step. Eh, let's not say I'm hanging, I'm telling you, if you were really dead when we fought before. I will be ignorant of all the things you put in my heart, and I will become like a fly without a head, and I will have to look for all the clues and so on. Could it be that the secrets you've been keeping up really have nothing to do with me? ”
The more serious I became, the more pensive he became, frowning and leaning against the table behind him without saying a word.
He obviously weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and I naturally didn't urge him, so I let him think quietly for more than ten minutes. After more than ten minutes, he raised his head, sighed and said, "You know about this matter, and it will not be good for you, but you don't know that if I am not there, it will indeed cause very serious consequences." ”
"What do you mean that it doesn't do me any good?" I asked, "What if I knew?" It's a big deal for me to pretend not to know, is it not enough? ”
He looked like he was about to make a tirade, took a low stool next to him, and sat down by himself: "I did tell Kong Ze my real name and identity, and after the two of us calculated, plus he has a genealogy on his side, it is roughly determined that my great-grandfather and their great-grandfather are brothers. According to the records of their historical materials, our Kong family is a resident of this ancient city, and it is also the confidant of the prince, who has saved the life of my ancestor and has been working for him. And my great-grandfather and his father took over the task of protecting the ancient city before the fall of the ancient city. Kong Ze's great-grandfather has always been knowledgeable and polite, so he has always shouldered this task. And my great-grandfather should have eloped with him after he broke in with your wooden pupil. ”
"Hey, that's what you said." I picked up my thumb and said, "It's so open, it's so gay." ”
"Hmm." Kong Xian also nodded and teased: "Listening to what Kong Ze said, there are almost no two of us." ”
I waved him on.
Then he asked how we had escaped from the illusion before. I'll just tell him in a showdown that you brought us out. ”
After he finished speaking, I glanced at him with a gleng eye, "Your confession is really fast, if he knew that I broke his game at the time, he was unhappy, and he came out and stabbed me to death twice, I will follow you every day as a ghost, do you believe it or not?" In the three small rooms of a few of us trapped in the illusion, Liu Yang knew that he came out to admit this matter for me, you are really my own hair. ”
"He's not going to kill you, I've known that for a long time." Kong Xian said this sentence naturally, without the slightest doubt, "No one in this ancient city is allowed to enter, including me, and even Kong Ze is not allowed to enter the palace, except for you." You are the only one in the world who can enter the palace......"
After listening to him, all kinds of emotions in my heart were intertwined, and I asked jokingly: "What does it mean that only I can enter the palace in the whole world?" When did I open such a big hanger? Oh, it's the first time I've felt so important, and it makes me feel so happy. ”
"You're a little bit more beautiful, this is not a good thing for you, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have let you come all the way to the ancient city to adventure, is it just for him to choose a few dollars?"
I thought it was funny when he said this, so he asked rhetorically: "But I just came to the ancient city for a few dollars from him, what?" If you don't let me come, do you have the ability to support me? ”
"Is it expensive to keep you?" With a playful expression, he slapped me on the back of the head, "I'll take care of a hundred." ”
"My God, what you said is quite satisfying, I haven't seen you give me a penny for so many years? Which time did I go out and I didn't swipe my card? I crossed my legs with an accusatory expression.
After listening to me, he squinted his eyes at me for a long time, then gritted his teeth and asked, "You can say in good conscience, whose card are you swiping?" ”
When he asked, I was stunned, and after searching in my head for a long time, I really remembered. When I was still studying, he had already left school, so I couldn't help but call someone a genius? That's a good guy, skipping a grade is faster than jumping off a building, and the two of us are not at the same level after junior high school, and when I was still in my first year of high school, this guy's degree certificate was already in his hand.
After all, our two families belong to the village, and our family is not very wealthy. After going to high school in the city, the expenses are much larger, Kong Xian is a fast jumper, and it doesn't cost much to read for a few years, plus the school's scholarship is about to be contracted by him alone, and he has lived a whole small life, I am envious and jealous.
I'm different, can't I slowly boil up this year's consumption? So at that time, it was more economical, and when I went to school to eat, I basically didn't add vegetables, sometimes I bought a few more steamed buns in the morning, and I had a meal at noon. And after the first year of junior high school, I basically didn't grow up, so I didn't bother to buy new clothes, and I still wore the same sets for three or five years.
Kong Xian once came to see me at school, and I was squatting on the edge of the school bench, wearing a set of school uniforms that the school bought when I was in the second year of junior high school, munching on an English book that I couldn't read a word and a steamed bun left in the morning.
He said that when he came, he thought that he would ask for a long time, but he didn't expect to see me at first sight not long after entering the door. I can't find a person in the whole school who is as strange as me, and who still wears a junior high school uniform to class in the first year of high school.
After all, it is also a friendship from childhood to adulthood, he said, at that time, when he saw me fall like this, he was a little sad in his heart, and when he came to greet me, he saw me get up and smile with a sunny face, and I looked stupid that I didn't go to my heart no matter how bitter I was, and I almost couldn't help crying.
Then he took me out for a big dinner that day, and he gave me a supplementary card of his credit card at the dinner table, so that I could apply for cash withdrawal when I had no money.
But I'm a rough heart, and the bank card in my hand is not small, after a long time I forgot that this card was his, and I remember that I swiped the most is this card, and now he mentions it to me.
It's really embarrassing again, so I can only laugh embarrassedly twice before saying: "I forgot, I thought it was my own, why don't I always let me pay back?" The bill was out, and by the time I went to pay it back, the bill was settled. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I owe me such a big favor, or I would have made a promise. ”
