Chapter Twenty-Eight: Truth IV

Previous Chapter

readx; Several people stared at the road in front of them, their eyes widened, but the strong light emitted from inside made it difficult for the group to see what was inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Is this the road to hell?" Xiaoying said.

"Let's go in and have a look." Liu Industrial said.

Zhou An took the lead in running along the stone ladder, and then Liu Shiye also walked in slowly, and the scar-faced man Wang Yuan and others also followed.

"Is this the source of the glow that shines underground? Could it be the huge bones?! Wang Yuan thought to himself. When he got underneath, as he expected, the huge space inside was filled with huge bones that glowed brightly, far more than the huge cave they had been in before, and the bones here were all very well preserved.

"Liu Shiye, what the hell is this!" Zhou An asked a little puzzled.

"These things are the reason for the existence of this place, and they can be said to be the source of all the mysteries of Yan Shengshan for thousands of years." Liu Industrial said.

"What do you mean?!" Zhou An said.

Liu Shiye lifted a part similar to a skull from the ground, moved it in front of everyone, and said: "More than two thousand years ago, the people of the Underworld who were good at feng shui divination began to dig underground passages in order to avoid the war. But as they dug deeper, they found these incredible things here. Liu Shiye said, and swept his gaze over the huge bones around him.

"It's these strange creatures?!" Zhou An said.

"You've seen this creature before." After Liu Xingye finished speaking, he pulled up his trouser leg and pointed to the scratch mark on his leg.

"Is it one of those dragon-like creatures?" Zhou An said in disbelief, and Li Fangzheng on the side also widened his eyes and looked around at these huge bones.

"You don't have to be so bottomless in your heart, this is the dragon, and the real source of our Chinese civilization's dragon legend may be these creatures." Liu Industrial said.

"Impossible...... How could this really exist? Zhou An said, and everyone present was surprised.

"A stupid hat that even immortality dares to believe, can't believe all this you see in front of you?" Liu Industrial said. "Of course, this so-called dragon is not as omnipotent as the legend says, and to put it bluntly, it may be an animal similar to a lizard."

"And what's going on with all this light?" Zhou An pointed to the bones and asked.

"In current scientific terms, it may be a parasitic fluorescent bacterium that is endemic to the subsurface here, specifically residing on the corpses or blood of this creature, and then emits this blue light. More than 2,000 years ago, the people of the Underworld probably discovered by chance that the creature they killed actually produced a magical light, and it was never possible to artificially create a stable and effective light source here, so they carried out an ugly but huge project. Liu Xingye said this, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.

"Did they mass-kill this creature to create light here?" Wang Yuan showed an expression of disbelief.

"How is that possible...... It's so cruel......" Xiaoying said in horror.

"That's right, because they need light here, they can hide here for a long time, and after decades of experimentation, they found that mixing the flesh and mortar of these animals produces a long-lasting light, so this solves the problem of light sources that have plagued them for a long time. In order to fill the place with light, they almost killed this magical creature. This kind of creature is vulnerable in front of human beings, so it is not unjust to say that a cruel nation like the Underworld is destroyed...... Liu Xingye said.

"What about the rumors of immortality?" Zhou An had some difficulty speaking.

"It is natural that a great deal of manpower is required to carry out such a huge project here, and food has become a headache, and at first these creatures may have been quite numerous, so some of those laborers began to eat their flesh, and gradually they found that the people who ate this meat were not weakened by heavy labor, but became stronger and stronger, and this cheap meat that was everywhere was even a hundred times stronger than any panacea, so the rulers of the country of Hades began to restrict the consumption of this meat by the common people, In addition to engineering needs, it was only edible within the rulers, and even in the later period, due to the drastic decrease in the number of this animal, there were disputes within the rulers, and over time problems began to arise within the Underworld. Liu Xingye said. After the Qin State destroyed the Hades Pond Kingdom, Qin Shi Huang began to build this large-scale palace here to enjoy these creatures, and the location where we are now is the place where Qin Shi Huang raised this creature back then. ”

"So the river leading to the inner city outside is for these creatures?" Wang Yuan said.

"Not bad." Liu Xingye replied. "It's a pity that there is no immortality in this world, this kind of meat can save them for a while, but it can't save them for a lifetime. It may be that this kind of meat is very beneficial to the human body to a certain extent, but old age, sickness and death are originally a natural process, how can it be possible to keep it young forever through a food or medicine. Liu Industrial looked at Zhou An and said, "Do you understand?" ”

Zhou An collapsed on the ground when he heard this, and said weakly: "So I'm done...... It's over......" and then hugged his head and cried.

"Professor Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Li Fangzheng stepped forward to comfort him, and the people around him were also a little strange about Zhou An's abnormal changes.

Zhou An lay on the ground, no matter how much others persuaded him, after a while, he said with tears in his eyes: "I don't have many days to live, if I hadn't entered Yan Sheng Mountain to find the elixir of life that the belief supported me, maybe I would have died a long time ago...... Hehehe...... All this I did was useless...... It's useless......" He cried bitterly again. The people around looked at Zhou An's embarrassed appearance at this time, and sighed in their hearts.

"Uncle Liu, what did my parents go to the bottom of the mountain for?" Wang Yuan asked the last question in his heart.

"I don't know who spread the rumor back then, saying that your parents have found a way to live forever, and it may be inevitable that they will leave, in order to protect you." Liu Xingye pointed to the side of the city and said: "There is an unknown area on the east side of the city, I haven't been there, this underground space is amazing, your parents know more than me, your mother was not from the fifteen teams back then, she seems to be a person who appeared out of thin air, I don't know what she is, in short, what the two of them have to do, at least beyond my understanding." You may understand sooner or later, but it's not the time yet......"

"Isn't the time...... Could it be ......" Wang Yuan suddenly remembered what Li Xuanfeng said when he gave him something at that time: "Your father gave it to me before leaving, and he said that if they can't come back after entering the mountain, let me wait until you are twenty years old to hand over this box to you, and don't let anyone else know about its existence." ”

"Why twenty?" Wang Yuan wondered in his heart.

"Wang Yuan, you should go and create your own life, and don't doubt about these things anymore." Liu Xingye touched Wang Yuan's head and said.

"Then is my father from the two locust trees?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Your father is not...... Before I met your mother, your father was just an ordinary herb picker, and the two stumps you saw in the courtyard were there when your grandfather lived there, and the two locust trees actually survived in name only after the first generation, and they were a long story, and they didn't make much sense, but I think your father's actions were obviously far better than those guys in the two locust trees. Liu Industrial said.

"The box that the old village chief gave me is also in your calculations?" Wang Yuan asked.

"What box?" Liu Shiye seems to know nothing about this.

"Didn't you arrange this?" Wang Yuan saw how powerful Liu Xingye was just now, and was taken aback by this answer.

"That's not true...... What's in the box? Liu Xingye asked.

"Uh...... There was only a picture of my parents and a letter, but they were of little value. Wang Yuan said.

"Keep it as a souvenir." Liu Shiye didn't seem interested at all, or he was tired of these things.

"yes, I see." Wang Yuan still didn't figure it out, and thought to himself, "Daddy, what are the fragments you prepared for me......

"This matter is over here, let Yan Shengshan's secret be kept forever." Liu Industrial said.

Although Wang Yuan felt that Liu Xingye was still hiding some things, it really didn't make sense to continue to discuss them, after all, nearly 20 years have passed since these things, and people still need to look forward.

"Scarface, what are you going to do next?" Liu Shiye looked at the scar-faced man and said.

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I won't be returning to Yan Sheng Mountain, the biggest mistake in my life is that I shouldn't enter Yan Sheng Mountain under your control." After Scarface finished speaking, he and the remaining two men walked out step by step with the three injured people.

"Go straight out." Liu Xingye shouted at them.

"Uncle Liu, you are simply amazing!" Qi Zhuang said.

"Lao Liu, take it!" Li Fangzheng arched his hand towards Liu Gongye.

"Oops, I'm dizzy from hunger...... It can be regarded as crossing this hurdle. Liu Shiye sat on the stone ladder and returned to his old expression.

"What are we going to do when we get out? I think it's going to be discovered by outsiders soon. Zhao Bin said.

"They can't find here, and no one can open that entrance except me." Liu Industrial said.

"Are there any other entrances?" Zhao Bin said.

"If the entrance was really that easy to find, this place would have been looted a long time ago." Liu Industrial said.

"And what about the way out, can't you go back?" Zhao Bin asked.

"It's cleverly designed here, you can't go to the exit, and I'll seal it off completely." Liu Industrial said. "There's a trap, hehe......"

"By the way, Uncle Liu, your real name is Liu Qi, right? Do you remember the woman named Liu Jia I told us earlier? She said that his father Liu Yue has an elder brother named Liu Qi, and Liu Jia is also here now, looking for her father's body, what should you do? Liu Industrial said.

"Actually, she will never be found here, because her father did not die here at all, Liu Yue once looked for me sixteen years ago, because he also heard the legend of immortality, he asked me if I could resurrect his wife, but I didn't promise him, because it was impossible, and then his whereabouts were unknown, but he did not enter Yansheng Mountain." Liu Industrial said.

"This Liu Jia has been in and out of Yan Sheng Mountain several times, haven't you noticed it?" Wang Yuan asked.

"I'm not omnipotent, I blew myself so hard just now, mainly to scare off Scarface's group, if the other two people attacked just now, I'm afraid my fifty-year-old bones will be broken here today." Liu Xingye stretched and said. "Let's go, carry Zhou Ann, go home." Liu Industrial said.

As soon as a few people walked out of the stone staircase, they saw a black shadow walking towards the door not far away.

"It's Liu Jia, it turns out that she has always been by our side." Wang Yuan looked at the familiar figure and said.

"Is she a good person or a bad person?" Qi Zhuang said. Liu Xingye looked at the figure and showed a faint smile.

Then Liu Shiye turned the golden dragon chair again, and with the rotation of the giant golden tripod in the center of the main hall, the mechanism in front of him slowly closed again. A few people looked at the gorgeous hall full of gold in front of them, and there was an indescribable sadness in their hearts, even if you were once rich in the world, and you ruled the world, you seemed so pale and powerless in the face of your short life.

"By the way, I almost forgot, we have to go quickly, there will be an accident if we go late." Liu Xingye looked around and said.

"What accident?" Wang Yuan asked.

"As long as the mechanism here is activated, it won't be long before the snakes of the entire mountain will converge here." Liu Industrial said.

"Oh my god, let's go!" Qi Zhuang said.

"It turns out that those two foreigners said they were going to escape from this ghost town, and that's the thing...... Wang Yuan thought to himself." By the way, Uncle Liu, do you have to pass through the city if you want to go out? Wang Yuan asked.

"You can go around from the outside...... The reason why I said that before was so that we could meet in the city, and I have traveled many passages on your road before, so I know the general direction where you came out, and all the passages here will eventually lead here. Liu Industrial said.

"It's really not easy for you to be old...... Wang Yuan said.

"By the way, Wang Yuan, you were bitten by a snake, although it is not poisonous, but you still have to go to the hospital for two injections." Liu Industrial said.

"Alas...... It doesn't matter, if I can survive there, God will bless me, and now I am not afraid of being stabbed. Wang Yuan touched the wound on his body and said indifferently.
