Chapter 257: The Ancient Battle of the Yellow River
The old man sighed slightly: "Hexagram never lies, it seems that your father is in a catastrophe this time." ”
Then he muttered: "But if I'm not mistaken, the one who finally rescued you was the Yellow Spring River Patrolman, the Ghost-faced Corpse Buddha, right?" ”
"Yes, but why didn't those people mention him just now?" I was puzzled.
"It seems that Jiuquan Mansion has really gone over, and it's time to change the day and the moon."
The old man slowly stood up, looked back at me who was in a daze, and said softly: "What, how can you rob the Dharma field and save your father when you think of it?" ”
I looked up and said, "Is there a chance?" ”
The old man shook his head: "The reversal of the generation, it is inevitable that someone will sacrifice, and the consequences of forcibly blocking the general trend of the world, I don't need to say much, you also know very well in your heart, you don't have to think about things before this, think about what happened after your father's death." ”
"But ......"
When I looked up, the entire cave was empty, except for the corpses of me and these Bai family ancestors, and a pile of flames that were about to burn out.
It seems that everything has returned to the original point at this moment, all the previous efforts have been in vain, everything is going according to the plan of Jiuquan Mansion, Dad will be publicly beheaded on Qingming Day, and Grandpa is also very likely to risk his life to go to Mingquan Prison to rob the Dharma Field that day, only I am now like a walking corpse, I don't know where to go.
Looking at the shadows swaying under the flames, I smiled bitterly and said, "Evil Shadow, do you think I should go or not?" ”
"Ask me what I'm doing, I don't share the sky with your Bai family, I wish you were all dead, it's not in vain to ask me."
I was startled by the Shadow's sudden opening, and then reacted and said, "Are you all the fucking listening?" ”
"Cut, you don't shy away from talking, but you can't blame me."
Then he said: "But this old man still has some means, just to recognize me in front of you, but he didn't make a move to seal me, I guess I also think that you are too weak, mud to support the wall, and you have to have a hand to push it, right?" ”
I didn't understand the meaning of his words, and I wondered, "What do you want to say?" ”
"You just heard him say, this is the burial of the Dragon Valley, the legend is that the last real dragon died here, he didn't let you go now, he must have his plan, if he doesn't explain it to you directly, it is estimated that he is afraid that the wall will have ears, after all, in addition to the Nine Springs Mansion, there are still a lot of other important forces."
There was always disdain in the Shadow's words, but when he heard it, he was full of shock.
"Really, really a dragon?"
"It's just a legend, anyway, Lao Tzu has lived for so long and is a real dragon and I haven't seen it, but there must be some doorways in this burial dragon valley, you can go out and walk around if you have nothing to do, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, even if you pick up two fish bones and go back to make soup and drink, it is better than self-pity in this lonely fang."
My heart trembled, I looked at the shadow on the ground that was disproportionate to my body, took a deep breath and said, "Then what do you mean by the other forces you just mentioned?" ”
"What, you want to drag them into rebellion with you?" Evil Shadow sneered.
I shook my head: "No." ”
"Hmph, if you want to think, if you don't want it, you don't want to think about it, the manly husband doesn't even dare to admit this, and he still talks about stepping on Jiuquan Mansion? It's ridiculous. ”
The evil shadow snorted coldly, but after a pause, he continued: "You also said just now, there is no absolute balance in the world, and there is no absolute strength and weakness. ”
I was stunned and said in surprise: "Could it be that there is still a force above the Nine Springs Mansion that has been maintaining the balance of the entire Nine Prisons and Nine Springs?" ”
The evil shadow replied: "It can't be said that it is above the Nine Springs Mansion, the two complement each other, the Nine Springs Mansion has always been responsible for dealing with the daily affairs of the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, only when things will become beyond his ability, or uncontrollable, threatening the foundation of the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, those forces will take action, quickly quell it with the power of thunder, and then disappear from people's sight, just like the ancient battle of the Yellow River, do you really think that the people of the Bai family are so powerful, Can you single-handedly extinguish the flames of war that have burned for nearly a thousand years? ”
"Aren't there still a few city lords?" I wondered.
"City Lord? Chickens, ducks, rats, dogs? The evil shadow snorted coldly and said: "At that time, the flames of war had burned to Jiuquan Mansion, and all the foundations of Jiuquan and Jiuquan were destroyed, those old guys just didn't want to expose themselves too much to the world's vision, and after killing the rebel generals, they quickly disappeared, and found out your Bai family to take credit, although this is only a legend that circulates in the high-level of Jiuquan Mansion, but after all, there is no wind and no waves, but it is strange to say, so many available people, why would they choose your Bai family, It can't be that the Jiuquan River Patrol at that time had anything to do with those old guys, after all, when your Bai family was able to hold the position of Jiuquan River Patrolman, it caused a lot of disputes, and Jiuquan Mansion almost broke up because of this, I heard that there seems to be a surname Bai among those old guys, but I don't know if it's true, so I don't bother to care about your idle business, cumin, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, why involve so many irrelevant things, add trouble to yourself. ”
I didn't hear the words behind the evil shadow, but I just stared at the shadow on the ground swaying from side to side with the flames in disbelief and said, "Have you experienced the ancient battle of the Yellow River? ”
The evil image reacted that he had said the wrong thing, and suddenly shook violently, and then coughed dryly and said: "What, I haven't experienced it, it's just hearsay, you know, Zero Rain City has closed down so many old guys who don't know how long they have lived......"
"Wait a minute!"
I interrupted him and said, "Have you ever experienced the ancient battle of the Yellow River?" ”
"Nope!"
Evil Shadow said categorically: "It's all heard, and I just want to tell you that don't just look at the surface of things, maybe what you see is a golden house, but the house is locked up with the most vicious monsters in the world, and you have to pay the price for everything, after all, we are now one, Lao Tzu has been in the wind for so many years, and then ruined in the hands of your hairy boy, it is really a ghost and a ghost." ”
I shook my head, looked at the evil shadow and said, "If you don't admit it, I won't force you, but you have to tell me, is the leader of the rebel army who was killed at that time a man or a woman?" ”
"I don't know about that, after all, I was still ...... at that time"
"It's still in the mother's womb, but you need to make it clear, robbing the law field under the nose of Jiuquan Mansion, robbing the most important prisoner in the world at present, it's really a bit earth-shattering to say it, but is it worth it?"
Seeing that I didn't speak, the evil shadow continued, "The Shura knife is powerful, right? But in Zero Rain City, the strength of the Shura Knife is only at the head of the warden, and above him there are also deputy prison wardens and the Ninth Evil Monk, these two guys are really perverted, Lao Tzu couldn't even take a move in the hands of the Ninth Evil Monk in his heyday, and he couldn't wait to spit at Lao Tzu Lao Tzu obediently followed him into Zero Rain City, and besides, in addition to these few, there are several Jiuquan Mansion adults whose strength is no less than theirs, and now you are finally getting closer to the truth you want to know, and you just died, don't you think it's a pity? ”
"But he's my father." I whispered.
"I know that he is your father, if it weren't for your father, he wouldn't imagine pit people in that kind of place and deceive Lao Tzu to you, but your father's idea is already very clear, bite his tongue and commit suicide, isn't it enough?"
"Besides, there is no such thing as your grandfather, with your grandfather's ability, he can save what he can save, if he can't, even if there are a hundred of them, you won't be enough to see, and finally persuade you, heroes will never sit in other people's traps and can't get out, if you want to win, you must be calm, and if you have the heart to win, you will inevitably be fooled."
After the evil shadow finished speaking, I couldn't calm down in my heart for a long time, looking at the ancestor of the Bai family in the cave, I took a deep breath, nodded and said I know, and then turned around and ran towards the outside of the cave.
I ran out of the cave in one breath, feeling the humid air coming to my face again, I stared at the dark riverbed, and found that the old man had not gone far, holding an oil lamp in his hand in the middle of the riverbed, circling around a circular object, and from time to time there was a "clanging" sound of metal collision into my ears. ”
