Volume 2 The Lost City Chapter 172 Life Experience 2
Grandpa looked at the big river, silent, in a daze, until late at night.
He was tired and turned to leave.
But at this moment, on the cold and dark river, there was a bright light, and even the cry of a baby could be heard.
Grandpa frowned, knowing that this was not normal, and even stopped and looked carefully in the direction of the lamp.
Strange to say, despite the howling wind and the rushing river, the faint light of the plant jumped around, but it did not go out.
The baby's cry was so loud that it could drown out the sound of the river rushing.
Grandpa knew that this must not be normal, so he immediately jumped into the river and rushed to the bright light.
It was a flat boat, and it looked very fragile on the cold and wide river. At the bow of the ship stood a jade oil lamp, the light flickering, but burning tenaciously without the slightest sign of extinguishing.
Grandpa was taken aback and immediately decided that it was a magic lamp. And it's strange to say that when my grandfather picked me up, I, who was crying loudly, stopped crying and looked at my grandfather with a pair of big watery eyes.
Even when I looked at my grandfather, I giggled.
An old man who was lonely all his life was moved by a child's smile. He decided that he wanted to raise the child to adulthood.
The child was purple from the cold, his breathing was a little unpleasant, and he had a high fever. Grandpa wrapped me in his arms, held the magic lamp, and left little by little.
However, when my grandfather took me back, I was opposed by all the clansmen. Because now they are brewing an attack on Xia Luan, if they adopt another child, it will definitely add to the chaos.
So after being rejected by everyone, the grandfather sadly left with the child. He found a local family, gave the magic lamp and the child to the other party, and asked the other party that he would come and take the child away in the future. The jade magic lamp was given to that family as a reward.
That family didn't have children, so someone sent a big fat boy, and he was naturally happy, and even if he agreed.
Moreover, my grandfather also found that when the jade lamp was burning, although I was in a weak physical condition, I was still alive and tenacious.
But once the jade lamp goes out, my physiological characteristics will immediately become abnormal. Grandpa knew that the jade lamp must be closely related to my life.
So the grandfather repeatedly told the other party that he must hide the jade lamp in the basement and never extinguish it, otherwise the child's life will not be guaranteed.
The family readily agreed.
Later, my grandfather left and participated in the battle to encircle and suppress Xia Luan.
However, the ending was not satisfactory, Panmen was almost wiped out, and only some core forces absconded to this place, and finally barely covered the foundation.
After my grandfather settled down with his clansmen, he remembered me. So he decided to look for me again.
But when I found it, I found that the family had already moved the family, probably because I was worried that my grandfather would ask me back again.
Grandpa was in a lost mood and walked back in despair. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, the pair of parents actually stopped the grandfather.
The grandfather was overjoyed and immediately took the child in his arms.
My adoptive parents told Grandpa that I had been crying since he left, and no matter what I tried to do, I couldn't coax him. Except for sleeping, it is crying.
They were tossed and choked enough, and finally realized that they were afraid that they would be childless for the rest of their lives. Sometimes there must be in life, and numerology is always forced, so they still decided to return the child to the grandfather.
The place where they lived before was disliked by the neighbors for being too noisy, so they moved, in fact, they have been wandering around the neighborhood during the day, hoping that grandpa will come and take me away.
When my grandfather was hugging me, I stopped crying and giggled at him. The adoptive parents were relieved, and even begged their grandfather to stay and live with them, and they were willing to support him as their biological father.
Grandpa declined, because he knew that it would be a curse to stay.
The adoptive parents were very sad and said that they would have the opportunity to let the old man bring the child to see them in the future. Although I have caused them a lot of trouble these days, they have real feelings for me.
Grandpa agreed.
Grandpa also asked them to leave the jade lantern, and still let them worship it, don't let the jade lantern go out, otherwise I won't survive.
My adoptive parents knew that my identity was not simple, so they immediately nodded and agreed.
Grandpa took me away, and I kept taking me out of the mountain until I was three years old, and then he took me away, came to a strange place, and built my hometown.
Grandpa knew that the jade lamp must have a special effect on me. When I grow up, I'll definitely be able to use that jade lamp.
So he left a bird-shaped clay pot for the old monk, and he carved the positions of his adoptive parents on the jade lamp. When I grew up, I could naturally follow the clues left by the bird-shaped clay pot to find my adoptive parents and find the Warring States Jade Lantern.
After listening to the old monk tell my story, my heart became even more desolate and sour.
So, I don't even know who my biological parents are? Just an orphan adrift with the river?
"Take it." The rat said to me. I looked up and found the mouse holding a bird-shaped clay pot in his hand, looking at me with a faint smile: "The good things that your grandfather left you." ”
I gratitatively took the bird-shaped clay pot.
The bird-shaped clay pot is made of rough zuò, with a large belly, a head and a tail, and strange symbols carved on the body, which looks like it should be a Warring States script.
There was a lid on it, and I gently opened it to find that it was empty. I touched it with my hand, and it was also carved with strange symbols.
My old monk Wen: "How can I find the jade lamp according to the clues above?" ”
The old monk smiled: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
"How can this be considered a heavenly opportunity? I'm not kidding you. ”
The rat and desertion also made the old monk quickly say that now for us, time is money, and we have no time to waste on cracking the code of the bird-shaped clay pot.
The old monk sighed: "Heavenly Chance, even I don't know." I don't even know that. ”
In the next few days, we deciphered the code on the clay pot while observing the movements of Xia Luan's people.
Xia Luan's people didn't find us, so after searching for a few days, they left.
But I know that they are not really leaving, but they are cheating. Sure enough, those who left in the morning turned back the next night, and after another two days of searching the mountain, they left.
In the past few days, I have learned more secrets about this Shantou.
No one knows who hollowed out this mountain. It is recorded in the "Book of Ancient Yi Tian" that it is rumored that it was a sacred bird that wandered in front of the ancestral house of Panmen for a few days and refused to leave.
Even when the Panmen people attacked the divine bird, the divine bird still refused to leave.
Old Ancestor realized that this divine bird seemed to be conveying some message to him.
Therefore, the ancestor ignored the danger and followed this divine bird.
As soon as the ancestor left, the divine bird really no longer revolved around the ancestor's residence, but followed the ancestor all the way away.
He led the ancestor all the way, and finally led the ancestor to the top of this mountain, and then plunged into the water.
The Ancestor watched as the divine bird quickly changed its shape in the water, and finally turned into a fish and swam into the depths of the pool.
The ancestor also followed the divine bird and found this miracle in the world.
When the Ancestor first entered, he found that there were countless skeletons piled up here, as well as a copper pillar.
The Ancestor was shocked by the scene in front of him, and spent two full days studying this mysterious cave.
But his research is meaningless. Because this mountain is full of too many secrets. Old Ancestor didn't investigate any useful information.
The ancestor walked down the big copper pillar for two days and two nights, but he still didn't reach the end, but felt that the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger, and even occasionally heard a ticking sound from the ground, similar to some kind of mechanical sound.
He walked for two more days, and finally fainted from lack of oxygen.
When the ancestor opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to the top of the big bronze pillar. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been picked up by someone.
