Chapter 37: Xu Yongting's Plan
"He's your dad - Jing Zhen!"
For a while, I wasn't sure if I heard Dadong's answer clearly, but the first thing I reacted was to deny it.
"Impossible!" I quickly shook my head, "Didn't you say you saw my dad go out of the 'door' with your own eyes?" And how did they die here? β
"Yes! I...... I can't figure it out now, but this person is really Jing Zhen! Dadong scratched his head, squatted in front of the corpse and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "That's right, that's it, it's him!" I'm grass, hell alive! β
Hearing Dadong's words, my whole body trembled. Maybe frightened, maybe surprised, I got up, involuntarily took two steps back, and almost sat on the ground, my heart pounding with trepidation.
"I don't believe it! Holy shit, what proof do you have to say it's my dad? β
I didn't want to attack anyone, but for some reason, a mouth, ugly words shot out like a cannon.
"What evidence do you want?!" Dadong was also angry, "You can't recognize your own father, what evidence do you want me to give you?" β
"I ...... I haven't seen him in years, I don't remember......" I was panicked as I was asked, and as I spoke, my heart felt like a stab, and my voice choked, "He's dead...... He's really dead! β
I can't tell how I feel at the moment, I don't know if it's sad or not, but I can't hold back myself, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, as if they are about to crush me, and I even feel that the corners of my eyes are starting to get wet.
"Xiaoyoko, don't be sad." The girl comforted me and stroked my back.
"I know that they are already dead in my heart, but ......"
When I first listened to the message that Dadong brought to my grandfather, I once kindled a glimmer of hope, thinking that they were still alive in this world, and that I still had the possibility of meeting them. But now, everything is in vain, and this huge loss really makes me feel unbearable.
What the hell did I get here?
Is it for them to collect the bodies?
I was at a loss in my heart, and when I closed my eyes, I felt that the pain came like a wave. I tried to convince myself that my father's death was a given fact fifteen years ago, and I knew about it a long time ago. Now, it's just back to square one.
I have to move on.
I don't have an option......
"Dadong," I tried to rub my eyes, forcibly holding back the tears that were about to burst out of my eyes, "I'm a little confused, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" β
Dadong also looked embarrassed, but he probably sympathized with me, tried to slow down his tone, and explained to me word by word, "At that time, those 16 people didn't tell me about the purpose of coming to Mizi Garden, so I didn't know much, but I heard Xu Yongting say a few words. She said that they came to this millet garden to find something crucial...... It's called the 'Seven Doors Compass'! β
Listening to Dadong's words, I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the metal compass in my pocket, and then the pores of my body opened.
"And then?" I stared at him and asked nervously.
Xu Yongting said that this 'seven-door compass' is hidden in the core of the Mizi Garden. However, the compass was not originally a device that belonged to the human world, and once it was obtained, it would inevitably cause countless disasters. But even then, they have to take a risk. Dadong thought about it and said slowly, "I remember that Xu Yongting was very firm when she said this, and I listened to the meaning of her words, and getting the compass seemed to be just the first step in their whole plan......"
When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I couldn't help but think of something that my old man had saidβhe said that those 16 people had come in to find a cure that could change the fate of our family.
Since finding the compass is only the first step, then maybe I was wrong before, this cure is not in the Mizi Garden, but in other "gates". Those 16 people need to go to the Mizi Garden to find the compass first, and then find other "doors" through the compass!
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, the things in this millet garden were too fierce, and the 16 people were all wiped out before they could find the compass......
"I've found the compass in another stone chamber." I didn't think much about it, and told the truth, "But I don't understand how Dad died here." First of all, how did he get in? The silk threads and bells in the epiglottis door were destroyed by Xiao Rong, and before that, not a single fly would want to fly in! I said.
"That's right." Dadong nodded, "And if you look at Jing Zhen's way of dying, he was obviously twisted off his neck." But there was no one else in this stone chamber except himself. Could it be ......" Dadong said, looking at the two coffins beside him, and said mysteriously, "Could it be that Jing Lianhong's wife did it?" β
"That's why I said open the coffin and take a look!" The girl was about to do it, but fortunately, Dadong stopped her.
"You wait a minute!" Dadong grabbed the girl's collar, "Think about it, if this person is really killed by Jing Lianhong's wife, do you think these two thousand-year-old witches can bypass you?" β
The girl rolled her eyes and exclaimed, "It's just two dead old ladies, cut, I'm still afraid of them?" β
"I'm afraid that after so long, it's not an old lady anymore, but something else." Dadong deliberately scared the girl, but when he said this, even I shuddered.
I looked around and couldn't help but have a little doubt, this place really doesn't look like a tomb at all, in those documentaries, the tombs excavated by archaeology, although some of them don't have many burial goods, but at least they are all gorgeously decorated. And here, it's like a prison cell for prisoners.
What's off? β¦β¦ Two broken coffins?
When I came to the black fog wall behind the screen, I wondered even more, what the hell is this fog wall? Why does it make people feel uncomfortable when they look at it? "You say, could it be that there is something wrong with this fog?" As I spoke, I reached out to touch it, and suddenly, Xiao Rong stepped forward and grabbed my hand.
"This fog can't be touched!"
I was stunned for a moment, "Why not?" β
"You listen to me!" He said coldly, "Jing Zhen didn't come in through the epiglottis door, nor did he come in through this fog wall...... There is another entrance to this stone chamber! β
Hearing this, I trembled, and the first thing I thought was - could it be that Xiao Rong really came here? How else could he be so clear? But before I could ask, the girl's two infrared electric eyes glared straight at her.
She looked Xiao Rong up and down, circled around Xiao Rong twice, looked distrustful, and said, "Rong family, why are you so sure that there are other exits in this place?" I've long thought you were very strange, my brother said that the Rong family in Silong Mountain died out twenty years ago, where did you come from? Have you really been here? β
I remembered that the girl is also a scheming person, although she has no bad intentions, but she has the most vicious eyes to see people. She didn't trust me at first, and chained me to a tree to prevent me from escaping.
Xiao Rong didn't say anything, just stared at the girl indifferently. As soon as I saw it, these two people were in a tense posture, worried that they would fight again, so I hurriedly stood up and played a round, "Okay, okay," I grabbed the girl, "I can trust Xiao Rong, you see, he didn't harm us along the way, and he helped us a lot, didn't he?" You believe in him once, and don't fight. At the moment, cooperation is the most important thing, so let's ask where the exit is......"
"Mom!" The girl listened to my words and cried out angrily, "I said you are too innocent! Do you know that there are some people in this world who don't harm you because they haven't had much contact with you yet, but once there is any conflict of interest between the two of you, with the defense ability of a schoolboy like you, you will wait to be drunk and cramped! I don't have eight eyes, so I can't always help you keep an eye on your surroundings, so you can have a snack! β
The girl made me feel ringing in my ears, I plucked out my ears, I felt that I had been taught a lesson by a child, and I couldn't help laughing twice.
But the girl's words reminded me that I was just an ordinary person in the past, and I was surrounded by trivial and trivial things. Living so big, I have never considered my own life and other people's schemes together, in my opinion, the intrigues and tricks are all episodes in spy war TV series, and they will not be verified on me at all.
As for Xiao Rong's origin, although I have always been very concerned about him, and I have asked him specifically, he has not answered me well once, and it is in vain to ask.
I trusted him and never pursued him. I know that if I doubt Xiaorong, then Dadong and the girl are equally suspicious. I don't like the feeling of guessing, I just need to simply look for the answers I want to know.
In this "door", I don't want anything, I don't want anything, who can I have a conflict with? Who has any reason to harm me?
I smiled and patted the girl and said, "Okay, I know what to do." β
Dadong was afraid that he was already bored in this cave, so he put his arm around Xiao Rong's neck and asked impatiently where the exit was.
Xiao Rong frowned and looked around, but he didn't speak, and I realized that he was trying to remember.
Many times, I feel that Xiao Rong himself seems to be in pain, although his face can smile, but he often shows a confused feeling, which is very real...... I think he came from the heart.
How can a person who can't figure out the situation himself calculate others? That's one of the reasons why I didn't doubt him.
"I can't remember which ......" After a long time, Xiao Rong suddenly came out with such a sentence, and as soon as his words fell, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", and the entire stone room began to vibrate again.
I craned my neck and looked around in horror, as small stones and sand fell from the cracks and the cracks above my head began to drip with the constant crashing sound of "tom, tom, tom."
The cold water stained the cinnabar and fell like blood, and for a while, it was as if it was raining in the stone room.
"Oh no, that dead cat is tossing around outside again!" The girl shouted while holding her hand in front of her forehead to cover the rain, "Mom, think of a way!" β
"!" I frowned and yelled, "Open the coffin!" β
