Chapter 12: The Dead Patriarch
Zhang thought heartily: "I'm really going to die here now, there is nowhere to escape, unless I can pass through the wall and escape, the power of the golden light is too great, and crossing the golden light is just killing myself." ”
Sunan's eyes were full of despair, and he felt so desperate for the first time, and said in his heart: "The clue to the patriarch's disappearance has not been found at all, but he is going to die here, and there is no clue to the Fuxi gossip map, and now there are only three people left in the team, and I still underestimate this imperial tomb." Then he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Suddenly, a person passed through the golden light, faced the figurines, and the palms were closed and instantly separated, and a circular Bagua diagram appeared between the palms, which was blood-red, as if it had been stained with blood, and the Bagua diagram kept turning counterclockwise. I saw that the man pushed forward with both hands, and the gossip map flew towards the golden light, colliding with each other in an instant. Take the Bagua Diagram and slowly erode the golden light, and then flew towards the figurine, the figurine raised the sword in his hand, gathered the golden light of the sword body to the tip of the sword, the figurine swung forward, and the golden light flew towards the Bagua Diagram.
The gossip diagram shook, and then absorbed all the golden light, and continued to fly away with the figurines. The figurines took advantage of the situation to slash at the Bagua diagram with a sword, splitting the Bagua diagram in half, and the Bagua diagram continued to fly forward, and after crossing the bronze sword, it automatically closed together and smashed on the chest of the figurines, smashing a big hole in the figurine's chest, and a pile of burning soil sprayed out of the back of the figurines, and the figurines fell to the ground and never got up again.
At the same time, the twenty or so figurines stopped moving, and the marble door smashed down, smashing them all, and the figurines in the pit also stopped. Su Ming knelt on the ground, kowtowed like that person and said, "Saved, thank you for saving your life." ”
The man said: "Little brother, you don't have to be polite, please hurry up, the old man can't stand it." ”
Sunan had closed his eyes before, not knowing what was happening, and didn't open his eyes until he heard the figurines fall. Seeing that the man had been facing away from them, he was dressed in white ancient clothes, a bit like the costumes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after fighting for such a while, there was no dirt on his body, Sunan said happily: "In Xia Sunan, thank you for the help of your predecessors, who are your predecessors?" ”
The man looked surprised and said, "Are you a member of the Jiangnan Su family?" ”
Sunan said strangely: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
The man ignored Sunan and said to himself: "I didn't expect to meet here, and I haven't been back for almost two thousand years before I know it." ”
Sunan said again: "Senior, what are you talking about?" What two thousand years? ”
The man said to Sunan: "It's dangerous here, although the figurines have been removed, but there should be more than one similar figurines, I'll go in and turn off the mechanism, and you guys get out quickly." ”
Zhang Zhen said suddenly: "Seniors are very familiar with this place? ”
The man said: "I've been here several times, and I know a little bit about it." Don't ask anything else, get out of here. ”
Zhang Zhen said to the man: "Thank you seniors for saving your life, since the seniors said so, the juniors will go first, and the seniors should be careful." ”
The man said: "I am also entrusted by others, an old friend of mine sensed that something big was going to happen here, and he couldn't be separated, so I rushed over to help, fortunately it came in time, you should leave quickly." ”
Su Jin said to Zhang Zhen: "Now that we are out of life and death, when we are outside, I will kill you according to the family motto." ”
Zhang Zhen smiled: "Accompany me at any time!" Our Zhang family is not greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Then the four of them jumped into the mound of dirt in the pit and prepared to walk towards the door.
The man suddenly asked Su Jindao: "This little brother, what kind of family motto does your family have, and you still want to kill others?" ”
Sunan said: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, these two are my cousins, one is called Su Jin, and the other is called Su Ming." We are of the same clan and clan, and our ancestors set a rule, all the Zhang family in Nanjing, meet one and kill the other. ”
After speaking, he pointed at the two people, and the man said angrily: "What bullshit rules! Why did the Su family treat the Zhang family like this? ”
Sunan said: "According to the records of the clan, more than a thousand years ago, a patriarch named Su Lei of the family went to Lishan to rob the tomb with the patriarch of the Zhang family, and never came back. Later, the family agreed that it was all the fault of the Zhang family, if the patriarch of the Zhang family did not come to Hangzhou to find our patriarch and go to Lishan together, the patriarch would not have died in Lishan, and there were more than a dozen brothers in the clan. What's more, the patriarch and their patriarch were close friends at that time, so believe him, the patriarch's death was unknown, and the Zhang family did not give an explanation, and later the two families broke up and became a feud. ”
When the man heard the words Su Lei, he had a strange expression on his face, and then heard that these two families had turned into a feud clan, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect it to become like this, if we went back at that time, maybe it wouldn't be like this, but unfortunately there was no if." ”
Then he said to Sunan: "Little brother, I didn't plan to recognize you today, but I didn't expect things to develop like this, it was really beyond my expectations, but it's okay, my name is Su Lei, the patriarch you think is dead." ”
After speaking, he turned around and saw that he was in his twenties, with a delicate melon seed face, deep eyes, and vicissitudes in his eyes, which did not match the young face at all. Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that the seniors in their mouths were so young.
Sunan was surprised: "The predecessor is so young, how can it be our patriarch, even if he didn't die here, he would have died of old age a long time ago." ”
Zhang Zhen also exclaimed: "Senior, are you kidding?" ”
Su Lei said to Zhang Zhen: "How can I have the heart to joke with you now, I am not dead, your patriarch is not dead, we were saved by a mysterious person, and then turned us into immortal zombies." So now I'm still the same as I am for more than a thousand years, and there is nothing strange about it. Little brother Sunan, don't mention what I said today in your family when you go back, and don't tell them the news that I'm alive. Don't go out and fight, there's no point in doing so, and don't tell the people about your encounter in the tomb. ”
Su Ming said: "It's hard to believe what the predecessors said, although you saved us and you are also very powerful, but your compilation is too fake, and you have become a zombie, we have never seen zombies, this kind of thing may just be made up." ”
Su Lei said angrily: "At a young age, he looks like an old man and has a future, you Su family should recognize this, right?" After speaking, he took out a piece of jade from his pocket, and saw that the jade was crystal clear, and it was a rare and good jade. The jade is engraved with a pattern, and a fish in the pattern is particularly conspicuous, and the three of Sunan recognized it at a glance, and Sunan said in his heart: "This jade is engraved with the totem surnamed Su, which is unique to the head of the Su family, and the current patriarch wears exactly the same block." ”
Sunan said: "The predecessor is really the old patriarch? ”
Su Lei said: "I still don't believe it, the Su family has been suspicious for thousands of years." After speaking, he opened his mouth, and with a snort, he showed his long tiger teeth, which startled the four of them.
Su Lei continued: "This time I wrote back, you bunnies. ”
Sunan, Su Jin, and Su Ming said in unison: "Believe, believe!" ”
Su Jin said: "I heard that you can live forever after being bitten by zombies? Senior, I also want to live forever, can you bite me? ”
Su Lei said: "Hearsay! It's good to be normal! ”
Sunan said: "The predecessors are offended, please forgive me, I didn't expect that there are really zombies in this world." And senior, you didn't die at the time, why didn't you come back? The family needs you then. ”
Su Lei said: "No one wants to wander around, and it is a thousand years of wandering. But we can't go back, we have become monsters, living by sucking human blood, and we are no longer the same kind of people as the family. When I don't suck people's blood for a day, I can't control myself at all, I lose my human nature in an instant, I suck people when I see them, and I dare to go home, I don't want to destroy my family with my own hands, I just want to stay as far away as possible. ”
Sunan said: "It turns out that the predecessors have hardships, and it is difficult for the seniors." ”
Zhang Zhen said to Su Lei: "Senior Su, where is the patriarch?" Now the Zhang family is in great trouble, and I hope he can go home. ”
Su Lei replied: "This little brother, he can sense this matter, but he has other things to do now, he can't return to the Zhang family, when the time comes, he will naturally go back." ”
Zhang Zhen said: "Okay, Senior Su, is there really a Fuxi gossip map in this world?" ”
Su Lei said: "This thing is really, during the Three Kingdoms period, I once went to Chengdu City and saw this gossip map, in the hands of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu State, after Zhuge Liang died, the gossip map also disappeared." Later, I went to Zhuge Liang's tomb to check, but there was nothing like this in the tomb, and I was sure that no one had been to that tomb before I went, so I didn't accompany Zhuge Liang to bury it. For many years after that, I never found the object. Now you can go to Chengdu to see if there are any clues. ”
Zhang Zhen said: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”
Sunan said: "Senior, the current patriarch learned that something had happened to the Zhang family and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Zhang family, should I stop them?" ”
Su Lei said: "Don't say anything when you go back, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Su's battle is inevitable, you go back quickly, Sunan remember what I told you, and this place don't come again, this is not the place you should come." ”
Zhang Zhen said angrily: "What do you Su family mean? Will only take advantage of people's danger? ”
Su Lei said: "Little brother of the Zhang family, don't be excited, this battle must be fought, you will understand in the future, and I hope you don't tell your clansmen that they have seen us, and your old patriarch also knows." ”
Zhang Zhen said: "Why do you want to kill each other? ”
Su Lei said: "Only in this way can we have a chance to resolve the catastrophe in the world, understand?" Otherwise, even if you get the Fuxi Bagua Map, it will be useless. ”
Zhang Zhen said: "Okay, the juniors understand. ”
After that, Su Lei entered the underground palace alone, and Zhang Zhen and the four walked out of the imperial tomb, and when they came out of the tomb, it was noon, and the sun was shining. After a night of tossing, everyone escaped death, and hunger struck.
Zhang Zhen said: "I have some food in my tent, everyone will settle for it first, and then go back to Xi'an to have a good meal." ”
Then everyone followed Zhang Xin to the tent and ate it in a big gulp, and Sunan said: "Brother Zhen's position is very well chosen, and ordinary people can't see it at all." This location is not far from the road we passed last night, and it seems that Brother Zhen is following us to the imperial tomb! ”。
Zhang Zhen laughed and said: "Hahaha, Brother Nan said that I was going to the tomb, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Nan by chance, and I also helped open the tomb to invite, so I had to be respectful and obey." After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, the three brothers of the Su family also laughed.
After a hasty meal, the group took a bus to Xi'an, and could not stay in this vicinity for too long during the day, because it was sparsely populated, and the locals could easily see that they were outsiders. A few hours later, the four of them had arrived in Xi'an, first went to the train station to buy a ticket home, Sunan bought three tickets to Hangzhou, and saw Zhang Zhen buy a ticket to Chengdu. Sunan asked curiously: "Brother Xin, won't you go home first?" ”
Zhang Zhen said: "I'm going to Chengdu to find clues to the gossip map, so I won't go back." ”
Sunan said: "That's it, you wait for me for a while." After saying that, Sunan returned to the ticket hall, and after a while, Sunan came back and said, "Let's go, go to eat, I'm starving." ”
They had a meal together, tasted Xi'an's meat buns, drank some barley wine, and ate some barbecue. While eating, we talked about some past events, and we ate for more than three hours at a meal, four big men, and ate like women. After the meal, everyone returned to the guest house to rest, and the affairs of the imperial tomb had long been forgotten. After this meal, Zhang Zhen found that Sunan, this kid, was a chatterbox. The next day, everyone said goodbye at the train station.
