Chapter 3: Turimen

"Where?"

"Turimon!" The man replied.

Oops, I'll go!

This "Turimen" is really a place! Could it really be his big cousin in Seattle?

"I don't understand, why should I go to that place too?"

"You really don't understand?" Hearing me say this, the man was a little surprised, "For so many years, the old man hasn't revealed a word to you?" It shouldn't be...... It's time for you to know these things, it's a secret that all of your family members will know! ”

"Since it's a secret in our family, how can you know it?" I asked.

The man shook his head and said, I have known your ancestors and grandchildren for three generations, and your father still calls me a teacher, I know a lot!

When I heard this, I felt a sigh in my heart. I said in my heart, I've seen a lot of liars, and I won't debunk you today, I'll listen to you. But if it sounds the slightest bit unreasonable, I won't pretend to be cowardly.

"Okay! Uncle, then please tell me the secrets of our family, I really don't know anything. I smiled patiently. Seeing me laugh, the girl who didn't say a word on the side laughed too.

After listening to my words, the leper man thought for a while, "Well, this ......" He rubbed his chin and wanted to speak, like a charlatan, and the next sentence seemed to be about to say "The secret of heaven must not be revealed". I looked at the turkey, and he was so excited that he poured tea into his cup with a leisurely expression of listening to a story under the bridge.

"Little master, I greeted you in advance, this matter is very important, and there are only a few people in the world who can understand it in such detail as I do. At the critical moment, you can't reveal the matter even if you cut your tongue, understand? ”

I looked at the turkey, turned my head and said to the leech man Don't worry, as long as your people don't talk nonsense, my people will never talk nonsense when they go out of this door, and I will pack a ticket with you on this point.

"That's good." The man sighed and muttered to himself, "I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say this, but time is pressing...... Forget it, I'll just tell you what we know. ”

The man began to talk at length, and what he said next, I don't know if it's a secret of our family, but after hearing it, it ruined my three views.

Things still have to start with my ancestor who "died without seeing the body", Jing Lianhong.

It is rumored that Jing Lianhong only entered the court as an official in the year of his establishment, and he never participated in the imperial examination, so he is also a strange person.

When he was young, Jing Lianhong used to be an otaku, and he spent all day studying some strange things in his big mansion, such as the gems of the Western Regions, the snake teeth of the three barbarians, and the armor of the micro country. He also loves to read, and spends 12 hours a day reading books. But after reading the books, he didn't take the college entrance examination, because the books he read were too out-of-the-way, and the college entrance examination didn't test those at all.

One day, the top girl in the dance workshop made Jing Lianhong's appointment, and Jing Lianhong was idle and bored at home, so he began to wander around the yard. As he walked, he suddenly found a path in his house that he had never walked before. Both sides of the path are wrapped in rockeries, and when you look up, you can see that the branches and leaves above your head are luxuriant, and you can't see the day, like a natural corridor. Jing Hong even walked in, zigzag, and didn't know how long he walked, and vaguely saw a door at the end of the road.

What's going on? This road doesn't work? Why is there still a door and a pestle here? Jing Lianhong thought to himself, he had lived in this courtyard since he was a child, and he had never seen this door. He stretched out his hand to push the door, but he couldn't open it, and then he asked the family to pry it with a crowbar, but the door didn't move.

Jing Lianhong was not convinced, the more he couldn't open it, the more he wanted to know what was in this door, but the more he wanted to know what was inside, the more he couldn't open this door, and in the end, he was about to take a cannon to bombard. After that, Jing Lianhong guarded this door every day, and came to the door to take a look after eating, only to see that although this door was old and decaying, the carvings on the door were very peculiar, he reached out to touch these carvings inch by inch, but he didn't expect that suddenly one day, this door actually opened by itself.

Jing Lianhong never dreamed of it. He thought that at most the door was his grandfather's private money hidden over the years, or his father's beautiful lady or something, but what he didn't expect was ......

"Hey, I don't know what to say."

The man paused suddenly, and the turkey and I were almost suffocated to death in one go. The heart said that what is so difficult to express this, just say it truthfully?

"Uncle, you drink saliva and speak slowly." The turkey is in high spirits, and of course the story cannot be interrupted.

"Well, actually, I'm not sure what he saw now, but I guess from the description that it should be a city!"

"What...... What the? A city? "Wait a minute, let me slow down," you mean, Jing Lianhong saw a 'city' in a certain door of his house? ”

"To be exact, he saw the Xuanyuan Ancient City back then!" The man sighed, "The scene is indescribable—clouds and mist, landscapes and paintings, as far as the eye can see, are all where the city is. There is a woman in the city with a snake god, and her appearance is incomparably enchanting and magnificent. There is a phoenix in the sky in the nine heavens, dancing with the birds, tsk, the scene is simply ......"

"Really? Isn't the ancient city of Xuanyuan only in myths and legends? ”

It's illogical! My heart said little old man, you tease me? No matter how bad my IQ is, I'm not a three-year-old kid!

"That's right, Jing Lianhong walked into the city through that gate, and a few days later, came out again......" The man continued.

Jing Lianhong was sure that the city he saw behind the door was the ancient city of Xuanyuan mentioned in the book. After coming out of the door, he didn't say a word, and quietly asked people to seal the door. Later, his father was imprisoned because he was involved in a bribery case that year, and the Jing family was about to collapse.

The emperor was overjoyed after seeing it, and secretly summoned Jing Lianhong overnight, only to find that this young man was well-versed in the past and the present, and he was well-versed in both China and the West, and he could say a thing or two about anything (although what he said was crooked). The emperor greatly appreciated him and made him a knight, but did not release his father in prison.

Because the emperor asked Jing Lianhong to go to this door and find something for himself.

"What's that?" Turkey asked.

"What else could it be." The man looked at me.

Elixir of life, I replied in my heart and took a sip of tea.

Since ancient times, the emperor sent those strange people to search everywhere is nothing more than a secret recipe that can prolong life.

"Did Jing Lianhong find it?" Putting down the teacup, I asked. Hearing this, I realized that I had completely listened to it as a story.

"I said he found it, can you believe it?" The man asked me rhetorically, and without waiting for me to answer, he laughed to himself, "Jing Hong went in and out of Xuanyuan Ancient City four times in a row, and finally found that thing, but it was in vain because his father had died in prison. The man paused and continued.

Although Jing Lianhong found the elixir of life, he was haunted by his father's death, so he didn't hand over the medicine, but secretly threw it away. He told the emperor that there was a gold pit in the ancient city of Xuanyuan, and that there were countless treasures in it, and in order to prove his words, he offered the emperor tens of thousands of gold artifacts to show his loyalty. The emperor was overjoyed and immediately ordered Jing Lianhong to lead his army to empty the golden pit. However, at this time, Jing Lianhong found that the door had disappeared!

After the door disappeared, Jing Lianhong kept teasing the emperor. Not long after, the emperor also died, and the new emperor was disbelieving what Jing Lianhong said, thinking that he was just a hairless old liar and would not be reused at all. And this is exactly what Jing Lianhong expects.

In his later years, Jing Lianhong got a strange illness and returned to his hometown, and his family took care of him carefully, but he didn't expect that when he came, there was a strange incident of "no corpse", which seemed to prove his legendary life.

"Is that door really gone?" I asked.

"No, the door isn't gone." The man shook his head, "Jing Lian Hong is really a strange man!" He can go to the last step, and he does have real skills! That door was actually hidden by him, which is the biggest secret of your Jing family! ”

…… Turimen?!

Somehow, the word popped into my mind, and something popped into my head. That thing can't be said or explained, it's like a gossamer, I can't grasp it, I can't touch it, but it makes me feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"That door was hidden in a painting by Jing Lianhong. In other words, if you open the door in that painting, you will be able to go to the ancient city of Xuanyuan where Jing Lianhong went back then. There is a legendary golden pit, an elixir of immortality, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants......" The man shook his head, his eyes lit up when he spoke, "The benefits of this are immeasurable!" ”

"Uncle, are you crazy?"

"You don't believe me?" The man looked at me suspiciously, "How could you not believe it?" There are 16 people in your Jing family, and you just entered this door back then, and you never came out again! ”

I didn't know what to say, so I got up and walked out.

"Jing Baiyang, I haven't finished talking yet!" The girl who sat on the side and didn't say a word from beginning to end suddenly screamed.

"Do you want to say that the painting in my grandfather's house is this 'Tuli Gate'? And then the place you want me to go with is the ancient city of Xuanyuan in the picture? I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I'm not going to join any cults, take my leave." ”

"Why doesn't it make sense, you kid ......"

The man was still muttering, and I grabbed the turkey and ran out the door. I said that I also graduated from a regular university, how could I take this kind of anti-physics, anti-history, and anti-human thing seriously?

At the door, the tattooed man didn't stop me, just glanced at me and smiled coldly. Exercise! I need to get out of here! I said in my heart that if I don't leave, they will come to the dark, and they are all like this in TV series, and I can't admit it at a critical moment.

"Dog's day, Jing Baiyang, where did you know these idlers?" As soon as he went out, the turkey started scolding.

"I said, can you not add my name to your 'dog' day?" I walked ahead, and I was not happy, "If I knew their details, I wouldn't have come to you." ”

"Gotcha, you go home first, I'll find my uncle to check, and promise to put this gang of cult organizations in a pot!" The turkey howled indignantly, "But seriously, your ancestor is really a cow, and this degree of magic is almost catching up with the Void Prophet." ”

"Roll the calf, your ancestors are magical, your whole family is magical!"

"Don't say it, I don't know who my ancestors are, we are miscellaneous fish in the market, we are used to the life of selling our bodies and cutting meat, and we don't even have a genealogy, how can we compare with your eldest young master?"

"You coward......" I was about to scold again, but when I raised my eyes, I saw the station sign on the side of the road. Knowing that the turkey has been playing games and buying equipment recently, he has a tight budget and has no money to take a taxi, but at this time, he can only take the bus.

"Shall I stop you the car?" I say.

"Not necessarily! The green mountains are always there, the green water is long, the young man, there will be a period in the future! The turkey arched his hand and jumped on a bus.

I sighed and shuffled a little heavily. At this moment, for some reason, most of the words of the leech man have been forgotten, and the memory seems to be washing automatically.

I have read a lot of novels, the protagonist in the book always looks detached and free in the face of things, I used to think, suppose there is really an old man with fairy wind bones said to me: "Dear, I see that your bones are amazing, you must be a martial arts wizard, and the responsibility of maintaining the justice and peace of the universe in the future will be handed over to you!" "I would have knelt for him right away, but when it happened, I just felt angry and ridiculous. Like the main characters in those books, I can clear as much as I can, and it's better not to associate me with these crazy people.

Is this the reality?

I think the answer is yes.

My head was groggy and sleepy was slowly creeping up my nerves, and I didn't want to think too much about it. When I saw the gate of Mi Yuan from afar, I began to yawn, saying that I didn't seem to have eaten dinner, saying that I was invited to eat, and the girl didn't order a dish at all, isn't this deceiving my feelings? As a result, before I took two steps, I suddenly felt a little pain in the back of my neck, and I touched it with my hand, and it was cold on my hand.

How is the blood of one hand?!

"You idiot! Who told you to cut his neck?! ”

Someone suddenly started scolding behind me, I heard this voice a little familiar, and when I looked back, I didn't see anything clearly, but I suddenly felt that it was dark in front of me. Something covered my face, the smell was extremely pungent, and before I could resist, my body collapsed......
