Chapter 049: Entering
Hearing this strange and eerie voice, my whole body trembled and I suddenly felt depressed. So, he frowned, thinking about how far he ran no matter how far he went. However, in my experience, the probability of dying with your back to the ghost is at least 90% or more, and there is a chance to condone it head-on. In addition, when something suddenly appears behind me, I can't help but want to know a thing or two, which is my innate curiosity and may be my fatal weakness.
I stopped, turned around and pretended to be calm: "Who said I was leaving?" I just don't see what I'm looking for here, and I want to look elsewhere. ”
The undead in the coffin actually laughed: "Haha...... Can that tell me what you're looking for? ”
I said bluntly, "I heard that there is an eye in this palace that does not belong here, and I want to find it and take it to its place." ”
The undead asked curiously, "What do you mean by a place that belongs to it?" Then he said, "How do you know that the place where it is now does not belong to it?" Just because you see that merfolk need it, does it have to belong to the merfolk? If you hand it over to the mermaid, will it reflect its value? The Creator has created countless things, but none of them belong to the Creator, and once it is born in this world, it has its own reasons for appearing everywhere thereafter. This is a providence of God. ”
I didn't have time to grasp the meaning of the undead's words, but it was clear that it knew I had come here to find the Eye for the merfolk. Perhaps, it knows better.
I asked, "Listen to you, you know everything about the things inside and outside the palace." Since you want to keep me from leaving, show up. I'm not in the habit of talking into a coffin. ”
"Huh." The undead laughed, and a mist-like man sat up from the coffin, then stood up and walked in front of me.
It's an undead I've never seen before, not even in the movies. It was almost transparent, and there was no visible appearance, but like a living creature, he had left footprints on the ground where he walked.
The undead suddenly said, "Your surname is Dragon, and the zodiac is also a dragon, right?" ”
The feeling of being known to a strange undead was puzzling and a little scary, and I asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
"Hmph." The undead laughed, "It's your fate with me. I've been waiting here for thousands of years just to see you. You say, should I know a little bit about your background? ”
I asked confusedly, "Wait for me?" Why? "Since you and I have met, let's just say anything about it."
The undead sat down on the spot, then beckoned me to sit down as well, as if he had a lot to tell me.
Then, it recalled: "I was also entrusted by men. It was a long, long time ago, and in short, I was the king of this country, and I came here to avoid war and enjoy peace. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and after only a few years, I met an injured plague god who happened to pass by here, and fell in love with the scenery here. So, it went on a killing spree, bringing endless plagues to this fragile country and people, and then, intending to occupy the royal city as a place for its self-cultivation. I was so angry that I led the wizards and the whole army into a great battle, but in the end they were all destroyed. But before I died, a monk dressed in a scruffy garment with a tattered hat appeared, and with a wave of his hand, he struck the wounded plague god onto the cliff and killed him. Then he told me that if I promised him one thing, he would resurrect my children and make them immortal and forever. I said yes to him and swore a blood oath. Subsequently, he resurrected my wizards, taught them a way to keep my soul alive for thousands of years, and gave me the ability to sustain this eternal underground palace. But...... I really didn't expect to wait for a thousand years, and I didn't expect that the plague god would also become an undead after his death, and then he was entangled with me for more than a thousand years, and it was only some time ago that I completely wiped it out. It had drained almost all of my physical strength, and I had to lie in a coffin and rely on the spells of the wizard and the moonlight to maintain my physical existence. ”
I said, "What did he tell you to do waiting for me here?" ”
The undead nodded: "Exactly, a person surnamed Long, a dragon, you can't be wrong, ordinary people can't come here." He said, "When you come, you will take the Eye that I stole from the merfolk, so that I will not embarrass you, and give it to you." In addition, he also asked me to tell you that you should never lose the adventurous heart in your belly that dares to explore everything, because one day, it will make you recognize yourself, see the world clearly, and realize the greatest value in life. At the same time, you also protect yourself and don't let yourself die. ”
I've never wondered so much as I do today: "Who the hell is he?" Why did you tell me this? ”
The undead shook his head slightly, "There's nothing I need you to know about it other than what I've told you." ”
I don't believe it: "You must have something to hide from me!" ”
The undead laughed, "Don't you know that the more you know about some things, the more you will change the outcome?" What he needs is to go with the flow and expect you to come out of the unknown road with a result. "That's it, I've waited long enough, I'm going to give you that Divine Eye, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my vow of being a king and regaining my freedom."
With that, the undead got up and walked to the coffin, bending down to take out a blue diamond. The diamond is the size of the palm of a hand, and it emits a beautiful white light from the inside out. When the undead handed it to me, I also saw that the inside of the diamond was hollow, and a smooth pearl was suspended in the center, shining brightly.
At this time, I was no longer interested in the Divine Eye, so I looked at it a few times and continued to ask: "Could it be that he made you wait for me for thousands of years, and such a few simple words are over?" You're not going to be plotting anything, are you? ”
The undead laughed: "Whether it is a conspiracy or not, you have your own judgment." But in any case, you are the key, remember what I just said, stay brave and adventurous, and don't let yourself die too soon. I see that you are all sick now, so go out and find a competent doctor. ”
I know that I have now become a pawn in a game of chess, and I cannot control the thoughts of the 'chess player' in the mouth of the undead. Since the undead have been chased away, it is useless to entangle them. I asked, "So how do I get out?" I heard the two people in the city say that they can only get in here, but they can't get out. ”
The undead laughed: "Those two poor people just stayed here to show you the way, otherwise, I would have killed them a long time ago." Isn't it my word that I can't get out of this palace? Rest assured, you can now go into this cave as you like, and sprinkle your blood on their shoes if you want, and then they can get out of here. "But, hurry up, I'm tired of being here, it's time to go out for a walk." If I leave, it's hard to say whether this palace will be kept or not. ”
With a spear in one hand and a diamond in the other, I took a few steps, but I couldn't help but look back and say, "Are you sure there's nothing more to tell me?" You won't forget about it all too long. ”
But...... When I turned around, I had already "gone to the empty building", the undead and the wizard were gone, and only a coffin was still quietly placed, as if the conversation just now was just my imagination alone.
Thinking that the undead said that as soon as it left, this palace might not be saved, I did not dare to delay, and with a thousand thoughts, I returned the same way.
When I returned to Wangcheng, I picked up Wang Qian and Zhang Li, and led them into the cave when they came.
On the way back, I didn't see the fish and dragon, so I swam straight out of the waterhole under the waterfall.
At this time, before dawn, I made a fire on the shore and caught a strip of it. The python and the king money, tension roasted and eaten. These two guys, as soon as they thought that they would be able to go down the mountain tomorrow to meet their families who had been separated for ten years, had a sweet dream after eating food. And I knew that the fish dragon didn't show up because I was afraid of being discovered by strangers, so I checked the surroundings, and after feeling safe, I took the eye back to the waterhole again and waited for her to appear.
Sure enough, I took a nap at the water's edge, and the ichthyosaur poked its head out of the water and swam to the shore. While I wasn't looking, he kissed me on the face.
I suddenly felt cold on my face, and after waking up, I hurriedly took a few steps back: "Who?" ”
Yulong'er still has that innocent and lovely smile, with a little surprise: "I knew you could do it!" ”
Actually, only I know that it's not that I'm strong, it's clearly a game deliberately arranged by someone, just waiting for me to drill into it.
I smiled awkwardly and handed the eye to the fish dragon: "Put it back where it belongs." "By the way, did you kiss me just now?"
Ichthyosaurus smiled reservedly: "I just want to thank you, I hope the mermaid's kiss can bring you good luck." ”
I smiled and said, "People often say that after being kissed by a mermaid, you will have the opportunity to marry a mermaid and be your wife, is it true?"
The fish dragon's face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at me at a loss, not knowing what to say.
I laughed and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously!" Ha ha! "I'll go down the mountain at dawn, take care."
The fish dragon relieved himself and frowned: "Can't you wait any longer?" ”
"There's no time." I shook my head: "I would also like to spend more time with you and get to know you well." But...... In spite of oneself. That's it, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and tonight will be regarded as a farewell. ”
The fish dragon said excitedly: "I will soon put the Divine Eye back to its place, and then, we mermaids can move on land like humans, you tell me the address of your home, and I will look for you then!" I promised you that if you regain your Eye, I will repay you. For me, a few decades of people are nothing at all, and I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life. ”
I was deeply moved and smiled, "No! If you show up with me, you're going to get into a lot of trouble. ”
Fish and dragon asked in confusion: "Why?" ”
I smiled and said, "You're so beautiful, people have bad intentions wherever you go, wouldn't I be in a lot of trouble?" ”
The fish dragon pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't be kidding! That's it, I'll go to you in a while. I will never go back on what I have said. ”
The firm gaze of the fish dragon is impossible to refuse. Actually, I really wanted to see her more, especially when she was standing in front of me as a human being. Her life is hundreds of years and thousands of years, and she doesn't care if she borrows her for decades, let alone just meet.
I nodded thoughtfully: "If you really want to go and see me, go and play with you for a few days." I stayed in ......"
"I remember!" Yu Long'er said: "I will find more herbs during this time, and bring you to heal and replenish your body when I go to your house." ”
"Okay." "Ahem...... cough" As soon as the fish dragon said that he was sick, I really couldn't help coughing, and my chest was on fire. I patted my chest and said, "Don't talk about it, I'd better rest early, or the next time you see me, you'll be in front of the grave overgrown with weeds." ”
Fish Dragon was sad: "You must wait for me, otherwise, I will really die with you." ”
I turned around and waved my hand back: "Okay! Go back quickly, lest you be discovered!" "Ahem!"
