Shippo didn't dare to play downhill, almost one step at a time, slowly pedaling down the stone wall.

In this process, Chang Longxiang and Chen Qiuyan did not dare to slack off, and they all held a strong flashlight to help Qibao light the road.

Wenren Bodhisattva didn't eat chocolate anymore, and like a curious child watching the ant hole, he squatted on the edge of the ancient well and looked inside with great interest.

"Fat senior, if there is an accident in a while, I have to trouble you to take a hand!"

"Little donor, don't worry, with me here, he can't have an accident." Wenren Bodhisattva said without raising his head.

After receiving this reply, I was completely relieved, as if I was sitting paralyzed, sitting on the edge of the ancient well with weak energy, and following Qibao intently.

After about two minutes, Shippo landed at the bottom of the well, looked left and right, raised his head and shouted at us, "The door is closed!" I can see it! ”

"Closed?" I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reminded him: "You let the villain open the door!" Don't move forward yourself! You go to the side and hide! ”

"Got it!!"

Shippo replied, then lowered his head and muttered as if he was talking to the villain.

After a while, he took two steps to the left, leaned his back against the stone wall, and slowly raised his palm.

The two villains stood on the palm of his hand, and when he looked at it from such a distance, he only felt that the villain was not as big as an ordinary mouse

To tell you the truth, what Shippo is doing at the bottom of the well, we people at the mouth of the well can only take a rough look, and it is a bit unrealistic to take a closer look at how the stone door was opened.

Not to mention others, I could only vaguely see that the two villains put their hands on the stone wall, as if they were looking for something, kept touching the stone wall, and slapped it up twice from time to time.

"Mr. Shen, if there are still people in Lilliputian Kingdom, what are you going to do?" Old man Zheng squatted on the side, and when he asked this, he glanced at me, and his expression was a little complicated.

"Don't do it." I whispered, "Just give me a few nuts, I haven't thought about the rest, but I have a question for you." ”

As I spoke, I turned my head, looked at Old Man Zheng very seriously and asked, "If there are still people in Lilliputia, are the two little guys you brought back or taken away?" ”

Hearing this question, Old Man Zheng did not hesitate, and directly said that they did not belong to the outside world, and if they could be allowed to go home, the two little guys should be able to live for a few more years.

"Are you willing?" I asked rhetorically.

"Reluctantly." Old man Zheng said with a smile: "But there are some things that you can't just think about yourself, if it weren't for the scruples of those animals, I would have brought them back eight lifetimes earlier." ”

"They're not going back."

Wenren Bodhisattva's cold opening directly blocked Old Man Zheng.

"How do you know?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Feeling." Wenren Bodhisattva smiled and said, "The way those two little guys look at him is the same way that a rat looks at you, if you push them away, they won't necessarily go." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Zheng was slightly stunned, and his eyes were a little red.

"Speaking of rats, fat senior, I really have a question I want to ask!" I leaned close to Wenren Bodhisattva and asked with great interest: "I heard Miao Wuren say that the origin of the rat is not ordinary, do you know?"

Before I could finish speaking, Wenren Bodhisattva took over the conversation.

"Rats are a strange thing, and I've only seen three of them in the past few decades." Wenren Bodhisattva smiled: "But you, this rat, is obviously different from other rats. ”

"What's different?" I asked.

"Practice." Wenren Bodhisattva said: "No matter how much you practice, it is impossible for an ordinary rat to have such a path, it is obviously brought to this path by people, and it is easy to control the evil qi, but if you want to use the evil qi like an arm, it will be difficult." ”

I nodded incomprehensibly and continued listening.

"For a natural cultivator, the means of controlling the evil qi will be relatively rough, and if you want to melt the evil qi into the limbs and hundreds of remains, it is even more difficult to climb to the sky." Wenren Bodhisattva smiled and said: "It can be seen that this rat you raised was taken by someone to practice a discipline. ”

"Miao Wuren said that this mouse has lived for thousands of years, could it be that the predecessors brought it to practice?"

"It must be." Wenren Bodhisattva said, paused slightly, looked at the rat, and soon his gaze stayed on the copper bell worn by the rat.

Wenren Bodhisattva didn't speak again, looked at the copper bell, was silent for a while, and finally said: "I have seen this bell exactly the same, the shape and texture are the same, only the words engraved on it are different." ”

"Anything else?!" I was stunned.

"No, it's a dog, if I'm not mistaken, Miao Wuren let that dog bite back then"

Hearing this, I suddenly reacted, Miao Wuren told me about this not long ago.

He said that he had been bitten by a dog raised by a Taoist priest, and that the dog, like a rat, was not a modern animal.

"That dog was raised by an old Taoist priest?" I asked tentatively.

"You know that, too??" Wenren Bodhisattva looked at me in surprise: "Yes! The little donor is very well-informed! ”

I smiled and shook my head, "Can you tell me more about that dog?" ”

"That dog looks ordinary, it's the common pug, but it's bigger than the average pug, and it's a little overweight like me." Wenren Bodhisattva said, scratching his head very ashamedly: "The bell tied around its neck is exactly the same as the bell worn by the rat, if I don't look away, these two bells should be antiquities, at least they are things from the Qin Dynasty." ”

"Would you still watch this?" I was stunned.

At the time, I was a little surprised, and when I looked at the little bell worn by the squirrel, I just thought that it looked like a modern thing.

Really, it's so new, it's surprisingly new, it's the same as the one that just left the factory!

If it was really an ancient object, such as this copper bell, it should have oxidized and rusted a long time ago

"A little bit of understanding, a little more colorful life." Wenren Bodhisattva smiled and said: "The copper bell worn by the dog, the words written on it are not Zi, but the first sound. ”

Dog?

The copper bell worn by the rat is "Zi", and the pug is worn by "戌", both of which belong to one of the twelve earthly branches, and they can just match their body

Rats, dogs

"The twelve earthly branches are related to the twelve zodiac signs, and the copper bells they wear belong to one of the fat predecessors of the twelve earthly branches! Have you seen any other brass bells?! I suddenly thought of something, and asked busily.

"I haven't seen it." Wenren Bodhisattva shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, I used to think so, but I haven't been able to get an answer to this day. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh.

If it is really the same as I guessed, each of the twelve earthly branches has a copper bell, and each is worn by a beast, then how powerful the people who raised these beasts in the first place are not right! These twelve earthly branches should not be in order!

Rat, ugly cow, Yinhu, Mao rabbit, Chenlong, snake, afternoon horse, Wei sheep, Shen monkey, rooster, dog, pig.

Among the twelve earthly branches, not to mention anything else, there should be one Chenlong, which should be impossible.

"There should be no dragons in this world," I muttered, rubbing the rat's head, "Have you ever seen a dragon?" ”

Before the rat could answer me, Chen Qiuyan and Wenren Bodhisattva answered in unison.

"Who says no?"

I don't necessarily believe it when I hear that the Bodhisattva said yes, but Chen Qiuyan said that the dry goods are too big!

"Really?" I looked at Chen Qiuyan suspiciously: "Have you seen it?" ”

Chen Qiuyan closed her mouth as if she had leaked her mouth, turned her gaze to the ancient well, and ignored me at all.

"Really?" Chang Longxiang couldn't help but be curious, and asked with great interest: "Sister Chen, when did you meet?" ”

Chen Qiuyan didn't squeak, as if she was struggling with her thoughts, and she didn't speak after a while, but her eyes still didn't move, and she muttered as if she was talking to herself.

"I've never seen anything alive, I've seen something dead, so I'll soak in formalin." Chen Qiuyan whispered: "There are only bones, no meat, but there are still some scales left." ”

"Are you from an official family?" Wenren Bodhisattva asked.

Chen Qiuyan snorted and didn't say much.

"The keel you are talking about can't be the one that fell in Liaoning, right?" Wenren Bodhisattva asked in a low voice.

This time, Chen Qiuyan didn't even respond, and watched Qibao work silently in the well, without saying a word.
