Chapter 140: Lu Feng's Arrangement
Old Pan didn't know when he woke up, and suddenly he said, I turned around, and I saw him looking at us.
"Giants, giant tribes?" I'm sure I'm dumbfounded, He Xiaochen was surprised, "Was there really a tribe of giants in ancient times?" SoγAren't those all myths? β
We were all shocked by the word giant, and no one even asked Lao Pan how it was, he looked at us with a stern face, and said: "Judging from all the current ancient books, it is true that ancient China did not explicitly mention the giant tribe, or the word giant tribe, but today, thousands of years later, we have indeed found many traces of giants. In addition, the concept of 'myth' has not existed in China since ancient times, and the word was only later coined from foreign countries. In fact, for the ancients, what we call mythology is actually the history of China. β
I looked at him blankly, Zhang Ye stepped forward and whispered, "How is Pan Ye, are you okay?" β
Lao Pan shook his head: "I'm fine, I just couldn't pick the Dragon Soul Fruit, it's a pity, forget it, I heard what you just said, Ansali, you found the tomb of the Giant King, did you get anything or evidence?" β
Ansari said: "If I give me a little more time, maybe I will find it, but unfortunately it was mixed by those bone-eating monsters, but I found this inside." β
As he spoke, he took out an object from his waist and handed it over, and I glanced at it, and saw that it was about a foot long, with the appearance of a vajra at one end, and a three-edged and pointed end at the other end, with a Buddha statue with a furious face, and the whole body was dark gold, and it was actually a demon-slaying pestle.
As I grew up in the temple, I naturally know this thing, Lao Pan saw this demon pestle, he was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, his face changed several times one after another, and he snatched the demon pestle, and said in surprise: "This, this seems to be the thing that Lu Feng used back then."
"What?!" I suddenly exclaimed, this is actually what Uncle Lu Feng used? I subconsciously glanced around and asked Lao Pan: "What about my uncle, didn't you tell me that you would wait for me with him in Mount Tai, what about others?" β
Lao Pan looked at me and said with a strange face: "To be honest, I haven't seen him either, but it is true that he left me a message asking me to come to Mount Tai for a while, but when I arrived here, I didn't see anyone else at all." β
"Then when you come into this underground palace, is it also his meaning, his order?"
"That's right." Lao Pan frowned as he spoke, looking at the demon slaying pestle in his hand, "Could it be that he entered the tomb of the Giant King in advance and opened the sarcophagus, but it turned out to"
I suddenly felt cold, and understood what he meant, Ansari found the corpses gnawed by the bone-eating monster in the sarcophagus, as well as the clothes of modern people, and also found the demon slaying pestle used by Uncle Lu Feng in the main hall, could it be that the person who has been killed is Uncle Lu Feng?
Several people stopped talking, Zhang Ye looked at the demon-descending pestle, and said: "It is indeed used by Lu Ye, but it is covered with a very thick layer of dust, this cannot be formed in the short term, little brother An, when you got this demon-descending pestle, it should be very urgent, you didn't have time to clean it up." β
Ansari said: "Yes, I found this thing on the altar, but at that time I happened to find the open sarcophagus, so I hurriedly stuffed it into my waist and went on the sarcophagus, let alone clean it, I didn't even have time to look at it carefully." β
"That's it, I guess this thing fell in the tomb, I'm afraid it's been a long time, if Lu Ye had left you a message before, then the bones in the sarcophagus would definitely not be him."
"But since this demon pestle fell there, it means that Lu Feng must have gone in, although he left a message for me, but I haven't seen him in person, who knows who did it?"
This matter seems to be confusing again, I thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter had to be slowly sorted out from the beginning, at least to figure out why and when everyone was summoned here for no reason, so as to analyze who it was, who summoned us to this place, and what was the purpose.
So I started from the beginning, first let Lao Pan explain clearly, and then Ansaari, I said to them, since everyone is tied together by an invisible rope, then we should be open and honest, tell everything we know, and piece it together, maybe we can restore the truth of the matter, otherwise we have been led away like this, confused, messy, maybe one day I don't know why.
Even if you want to find out what giant tribe and the origin of this Taishan underground palace, you must at least figure out why you came here, right? If even this is confused, then even if the origin of the giant tribe is discovered, what is the use?
After my proposal was proposed, several people felt that it should be like this, Lao Pan seemed to know everything, but in fact, he was also confused, he hesitated, and finally agreed to tell us the truth.
It turns out that this qiΔ has to start a few months ago.
At that time, Lao Pan didn't recruit anyone to drink tea in the store, and suddenly a man wearing a peaked cap came in, walked around the store, talked to Lao Pan casually, and asked Lao Pan to show him a few things, but he didn't say anything after that, and left after a simple chat.
Lao Pan thought that he was a bored and idle master, and he didn't care, but after the man left, he found a letter on the coffee table without signature and date.
He knew that there must be something strange about this, so he opened the letter and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, inside was the tone of his old friend Lu Feng, who had been missing for ten years, and what he said to him.
The letter first explained what happened back then, saying that the reason why he would leave without saying goodbye was because he didn't want everyone to take risks together, because the Black Water Demon Cave was too related, and if he went, he would die and die, so he would leave alone.
And after all these years of exploration, he has found the location of the Black Water Demon Cave, but it is difficult to solve the mystery, and now he has no power to continue to explore, so he needs Pan Haigen's help, and the letter also said that only by solving these secrets can Pan Haigen see him again.
Inside the envelope, there was also a piece of ancient jade, and Lu Feng also explained this piece of jade in the letter, saying that this was the key to entering the Black Water Demon Cave, and the only person who could wear this piece of jade and help them unlock the ultimate secret together was a nominal apprentice of Master Zhenjian of Miaojiao Village, called Yuan Zhoucheng.
This is naturally me, Uncle Lu Feng not only told Lao Pan about me in detail, but also explained how Lao Pan would introduce me into the team, so there was a story between me and that Gu Yu later.
This qiΔ is not so much Lao Pan's arrangement, in fact, it is simply Uncle Lu Feng's arrangement, until we went to the Black Water Demon Cave, although we failed to solve the secret there, but also found some clues, and on the third day after returning to the city, Lao Pan received another letter from Uncle Lu Feng again.
This letter is also very mysterious, Lao Pan woke up in the morning, has appeared at his bedside, he hurriedly opened the letter to see, but inside is the analysis of the entire trip to the Black Water Demon Cave, as well as the next step of judgment, and told SΓΉ Lao Pan that if you want to find out the origin of the truncated blade, you have to go to the Taishan Underground Palace.
From that letter, Lao Pan learned the secret of the entrance to the dungeon, and also knew the legend of the giant clan, which aroused his great interest and curiosity, and at the same time, the letter also said that Lu Feng would be waiting for him in Mount Tai.
So Lao Pan didn't say a word, and immediately began to prepare to leave, but according to the instructions in the letter, he deliberately divided the people into two groups and entered through two different entrances, but did not tell us, so in this whole incident, except for himself who knew the cause and effect, we were all kept in the dark.
Lao Pan had promised me before, saying that when he came back from the Black Water Demon Cave, he would tell me the contents of Uncle Lu Feng's letter, and now it can be regarded as fulfilled.
After I listened, I asked suspiciously, what kind of dragon wood is this, or is it from the dragon soul wood, and picking the dragon soul fruit is also what Uncle Lu Feng said?
Lao Pan nodded yes, he said that this was a very important point explained in the letter, Lu Feng said that his task was to go to the town dragon wood to pick the dragon soul fruit, but what exactly this thing does, but he didn't say.
Also, there is a dragon soul guard in the dragon wood, if you are hit, only the soul stone at the soul tower of the underground palace can be cracked, and the letter explains that the reason why Lao Pan let us enter through another entrance is to let us go to get the soul stone.
Lao Pan said clearly, but the fact is that none of us know about it, Zhang Ye was even more confused, and after some inquiry, he learned that Lao Pan secretly attached the task given to Zhang Ye to the booked air ticket, which was done to keep it secret, but who knew that He Xiaochen and I were unwilling to take the plane, so we temporarily refunded the ticket and changed it to a train, so Lao Pan's plan was actually disrupted by us.
A few of us were speechless for a while after hearing this, it turned out that there was such a secret in this, He Xiaochen and I couldn't help but glance at each other, stuck out our tongues, and secretly said that the willfulness and self-assertiveness of the two of us almost destroyed the overall situation.
Lao Pan's words were almost finished, and we looked at Ansari at the same time, compared with Lao Pan's explanation, Ansari had more secrets on her body, which made us puzzled all the time.
Ansari thought about it and told us that in fact, he came to Mount Tai according to Lu Feng's explanation, but he didn't receive any letter, but Lu Feng had already arranged it two years ago.
We were taken aback at the same time, and were about to listen to Ansari tell his story, when the dragon tree not far away suddenly shook violently, and at the same time a dull roar seemed to come from far away from the depths of the earth.
We stood up stiffly, and Ansari turned to stare at us and said, "Who is it, who moved that Dragon Soul Fruit?" β
I was stunned, I don't know why he said this, but I saw Zhang Ye's strange expression, spread his hand and said, "It's me"
I looked intently and saw that the fist-sized blue-green fruit was in Zhang Ye's palm.
Ansari's face changed, and he said, "I didn't say that no one is allowed to touch this thing, it's too late to say it, hurry, let's get out of here first."
My heart sank suddenly at the look of Ansari because it was the second time I had seen him look nervous.
It seems that the situation is not good!
