I looked at Kuroko, who was sitting on the sidelines staring at the sky in a daze, and asked, "How's it going?" Is that pattern what you've been looking for? ”

"Huh? Oh. Kuroko seemed to be shocked by my words, "Yes, when I went down to the bottom of the valley and saw that pattern, some of my childhood memories came back a little, I must have been to that cave when I was a child." ”

"The pattern depicts a Xuanwu Divine Beast?"

Kuroko nodded. "That Xuanwu should have been drawn by me and my father, but I can't remember what he looks like anyway, I'm really frustrated!"

"What else do you remember? What the hell is that beast? Is it really suppressed by the Xuanwu pattern as Old Man Shi said? If so, why is that pattern so powerful? "I threw the questions out in one go, but in fact I didn't expect much from Kuroko to answer them all.

Sure enough, when Kuroko heard this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I can't even remember the appearance of my father who came with me at the beginning, how can I go back to these questions of yours." ”

I didn't know how to answer this, so I could only comfort, "It's okay, at least there are clues, and I will find them in the future." ”

"Hmm. Something is better than nothing! ”

It's just that there are some things I haven't said, if what Old Man Shi said is true, the Xuanwu pattern painted by Kuroko and his father is actually the key to suppressing the giant beast, then it is conceivable that the family behind Kuroko is definitely not an ordinary person, and it can even be said that it is a question whether it is a human being.

"That's right." One of the most critical questions is, "What happened at the bottom, and why did it feel like there were two of you at the same time?" ”

Kuroko shook his head silently, "To be honest, I don't know very well, when you shouted the first words to hurry away, I hurried in your direction, although I don't understand why you and Xiu'er continued to shout later." But in my opinion, there is some secret art or something at the bottom of the valley that has successfully preserved a phantom of mine. Simply let me rush back in time, otherwise if you really rush down, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

I chewed on the answer, and it felt like it was too far-fetched. The matter at the bottom of the valley must not be as light as he said, but since he is unwilling to explain, with my understanding of him, there must be a reason not to say it. Forget it, it's the right time in the future, and he'll talk about it when he wants to!

Time passed little by little, and Old Man Shi was gradually able to stand up, wailing, "Such a fall almost killed me, who dares to ask me to accompany him to rob the tomb in the future." Even if I cut off contact with him, I will never do this kind of thing again! ”

"Okay, okay, it's morning, let's eat something, I've been tossing all night, and I'm tired!" Xiu'er took out the food and water intimately, and ate bread and biscuits for several days in a row, and she almost lost her appetite. But the rumbling stomach is still crying to eat.

After eating and drinking like chewing wax, the sun has revealed its full true face. The line of sight widened. After eating, Old Man Shi consciously got up to work. The three of us couldn't do anything about it, so we could only sit and watch him look at the distant landscape around him, scratching around on the white paper, crumpling one paper after another and throwing it away, until he saw that there were only a few pieces of paper left. He turned around excitedly and shouted to us, "There it is! I think I found the location of the tomb! ”

"Where!" Hearing the good news, I immediately jumped up and trotted over to look at the pattern drawn on the white paper in his hand. Xiu'er and Kuroko also walked over.

Old man Shi pointed to the point where the direction indicated by several landscapes on the paper converged and said, "No matter who came up with such an ingenious idea, the clever thing is that not all landscapes are involved. Instead, there are only four places, and the four directions converge to one point, which means to dominate the four directions. You can't tell the location when you look at the drawings like this. Look at it this way! As he spoke, Old Man Shi held up the paper and fiddled with it for a while to make the direction on the paper consistent with the direction of the landscape.

Now the three of us quickly saw where the doorway was, "But this direction is pointing to the sky?" Could it be that the prime minister surnamed Hu also repaired the cemetery to the sky! ”

Old man Shi smiled embarrassedly, "That's impossible, but from that point in the sky, look down, where is there!" ”

What's there? I looked in the direction and saw only a large mountain lake, and nothing else.

Seeing this, Xiu'er asked puzzledly, "There's only a lake there!" ”

Hearing this, Old Man Shi suddenly became proud, as if he had forgotten the pain in his body. "If I say that the tomb is under that lake, would you believe it?"

Letter! What is not credible, although we have not robbed many tombs so far, but we have seen a lot, and we have been to the underwater ancestral halls, and now it is just a small lake, how big can it be.

Who knew that Heizi looked at the lake, and suddenly said, "The location should be there, but the flag pattern that Pang Qinghe said still hasn't been seen." If there is no flag, I am afraid that we will go through the trouble of entering the ancient tomb, and we will return in vain. ”

"Huh?" When Old Man Shi heard this, he was puzzled, "Didn't you come to find that ancient tomb?" ”

Xiu'er playfully replied, "We are not tomb robbers, why are we looking for ancient tombs." ”

"Hmm!" These words choked Old Man Shi even more incomprehensible, "Then you tossed for two days and almost lost your life, for what?" ”

Hearing this, Heizi handed over the piece of paper left by Pang Qinghe, and pointed to the small flag pattern on it, "What we are looking for is the place where this pattern is printed, but the night before yesterday someone said that the flag refers to the ancient tomb, so I turned to look for the ancient tomb." ”

After listening to Kuroko's explanation, Old Man Shi seemed to have a short period of loss, but even if he was hidden by him, "If you don't go to the ancient tomb, that's good, that's good!" ”

After that, I remembered the words of the old man who caught the dragon, with a character like him, he should not be talking nonsense, since he indicated that the place we were looking for was this ancient tomb, there must be something that everyone did not notice, maybe the flag was under everyone's noses, and no one paid attention.

So I talked to the three of them about it, and they agreed. If an outsider happened to see what happened next, I am afraid that I would have seen a ghost in broad daylight, and I saw the four of us staring at the lake with wide eyes, hoping to find some clues that had been missed before.

The sun in the sky moved little by little, and wisps of scorching light shone through, and the time did not know how long it took, until the sunlight began to look dazzling, first the old man Shi, then me, and finally the sunspot, all turned their heads away, indicating that they wanted to take a rest, and said that this search had no effect at all, and it was better to seek other methods as soon as possible.
