Chapter 139: Mysterious Pattern
In the middle of the night, the entire Araki City was unusually silent, the huge alleys were empty, and the moonlight sprinkled on the streets, which was a little bleak. Some of the unclosed doors and windows creaked in the breeze, and then returned to calm.
Swish!
After a long silence, a black shadow suddenly shuttled quickly through the deserted street, and disappeared without a trace, only some sand and dust on the ground, if you don't look carefully, you think it's just a gust of wind blowing.
Yue Yi, who came out of the City Lord's Mansion, was looking for a hidden place, with inexplicable excitement on his face, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and then he jumped and came to a dark and narrow dead end, which was exactly where Yue Yi had stayed when he was a beggar before.
Yue Yi looked around for a moment, then opened his arms and took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It's still this familiar environment and taste, I really miss it." ”
Thinking about a month ago, he was still hiding under the bloodstained rag and roaring, the feeling of being tortured by Ziyan is still unforgettable, and he just wanted to enjoy a moment of peace at that time. The bleak and lonely environment of Araki City now suited his luxury, but now he had no intention of enjoying it. The siege and interception of Tianxing Pavilion, the carpet search from Araki City, and the only way to seek a breakthrough in the killing had already exhausted him physically and mentally.
The road is under your feet, but also in the distance, the revenge of the green core still has to be avenged, and the death of the old man also needs to be paid with blood, not only for them, but also for themselves. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and it is constantly chased and killed, and the clay man has a three-point temper, not to mention a young man with strong blood. He doesn't like to leave hidden dangers in his work, since this beam has been laid, then everything must be forever troubled, which is also one of the reasons why Yue Yi is still stranded in the desert. At present, the first task is to piece together the fragments first.
Yue Yi couldn't wait to take out the eight remnants of the Eternal Spirit Ring, and his face finally had the impatience that a young man should have. For the sake of these eight remnants, he wandered around in the desert for a long time, each of which was a battle of life and death, and he also ventured into the city lord's mansion.
You must know that this remnant picture is related to the secret of the strongest beast of the year, the Nine Xuantian Python, if you can get the Nine Xuantian Holy Water, then you can ascend to the sky in one step in the future. However, the people who know the location of the Nine Xuan Holy Water, the entire Western Continent only know the Nine Snake Heavenly Monarch, the first strong person who has drunk the Nine Xuan Holy Water, and this remnant map should be left by the Nine Snake Heavenly Monarch, as long as it is pieced together, it must be able to know the location.
Yue Yi looked at the eight remnants in his hand, piecing them together one by one, the process was not too complicated, the left side was dark green, and the right side was light yellow, as long as it was arranged from top to bottom according to the appearance of the human face.
When the eight remnants were pieced together, these eight remnants actually exuded a trace of terrifying fluctuations, and then joined together, a head with a snake scale face on the left and a normal human face on the right appeared in front of him, which was exactly the same as the snake man he saw when Yue Yi entered the illusion arranged by the phantom old man before, but this half of the human face was extremely handsome, if it weren't for the hideous snake face on the left half, it must be an exaggeration to call it the first beautiful man in the mainland.
Yue Yi looked at it curiously, wanting to see any clues from this portrait, but it was just an ordinary portrait.
"Hey, this seems to be the Nine Snake Heavenly Monarch. The sound of purple soul's surprise came from the body.
"What is it, don't you know it?" Yue Yi asked with a slight frown.
"No, no, the previous Nine Snake Heavenly Monarch is not only outstanding, but also the most beautiful man in the Western Continent, I don't know how many thousands of girls have been fascinated, but I didn't expect that now it will become this kind of ghost like a person who is not a person, a snake is not a snake, it is really a creation and a man. Purple Soul said with a sigh.
"Could it be a matter of the Nine Snakes Holy Water, if you want to gain strength and become like this, it will be too disgusting, I don't want to, let's forget it." ”
Yue Yi looked at this portrait, and he already had the intention of giving up in his heart, if he became like this, it would be better to die, even if he himself looked very ordinary, but at least he still looked like a person.
"It shouldn't be a problem with the Nine Snakes Holy Water, it's just that I don't know what this Nine Snake Heavenly Monarch went through in the end, so it will become like this, it seems that this portrait wants to convey some information to future generations. The Purple Soul pondered the secret of this uncertainly.
"Whatever, let's take a look at the map route in the back first. ”
Yue Yi directly turned over this remnant picture, all of which were drawn on it were some incomprehensible ghost drawing symbols, crooked, without rules at all, behind the human eye on the right, there was a green isosceles triangle, the longest end pointed straight to the tip of the nose, and the rest was the ghost drawing line that extended the map, it seemed that the only thing that could be mastered at present was the green triangle.
Yue Yi pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason before he asked, "Purple Soul, do you know what this means? Behind this map, on the part of the right eye of the person's face, there is a green triangle drawn, why is this happening?"
Seeing that the purple soul was silent, Yue Yi also smiled bitterly, even if he got the map, he might not be able to crack it, if he couldn't crack it, then this map would be useless, thinking of this, Yue Yi couldn't breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I haven't thought of it yet, but don't worry, tomorrow you'll wander around Araki Castle and find some owners who sell antiques or quaint books to inquire. Don't be afraid that your identity will be revealed, presumably the news that you are in the desert should spread all over Araki City, and no one will know that you are back in Araki City. Purple Soul thought for a long time before finally speaking.
Yue Yi looked at this map blankly, and at a glance, it was dawn. A ray of morning light shone down, and the originally dark and narrow alley also opened up. After packing up the map and stretching, he thought about it all night, and seemed to think of something, and he was almost a little bit close, but he couldn't touch the final answer, and it seemed that he still needed to go to the bookstore to look for inspiration, and then put on his heavy gun again and walked in a certain direction.
Taking advantage of the dawn, there were not many people, Yue Yi quickly shuttled through the streets, when he was a beggar, he had already walked all over the streets and alleys here, so he knew where there were places to sell antiques or books. Only this time he didn't continue to pretend to be a beggar, because he couldn't enter the shop at all, but he was carrying a heavy gun wrapped in a rag, which was also very conspicuous, so he had to find the answer to the map before the streets were crowded.
Yue Yi searched as he walked, and finally locked on an old shop that had just opened. The owner of this shop, Yue Yi still has the impression that he is an old man with gray hair, a gentle temper, well-informed, and once gave him food, Yue Yi still has a good impression of him.
Seeing that the old man had just opened the door and was about to walk into the store with staggering steps, Yue Yi walked over and greeted him warmly, and said, "Hello, shopkeeper, I need to go to your store to check some information, I wonder if there are some quaint books?"
"Oh, little beggar, I haven't seen you for two months, and it seems that you are doing well. The old man swept it with a cloudy eye, and then said, "Come in, I have all quaint books here, you can read them as you like, but the one you find is to be bought." ”
Yue Yi instantly became vigilant, he didn't expect his gray face, but the old man recognized him at a glance, how could he not be surprised.
As if he knew Yue Yi's inner thoughts, the old man chuckled: "Hehe, don't be nervous, the old man has been here for most of his life, bought books for a lifetime, knows countless people, and people who have seen it once will never forget it again, if he forgets the customer, won't he be mistaken by the customer for not paying attention to himself?"
"Thank you!" Yue Yi said as he hugged his fist at the old man.
"Come with me, I know you're in a hurry. The old man walked slowly into the shop.
Yue Yi's eyes flashed, and he seemed to hesitate, but the old man had already entered the store, and he simply followed in, saying that people are old and become fine, and this sentence is not wrong at all. Even if the old man plotted against him, with his figure and speed, he should be able to deal with all situations quickly, not to mention that this old man had helped himself, he should not be that kind of sinister person, but he was a little more vigilant in his heart.
As soon as he stepped into the shop, a rotten breath came from the pavement, the wooden items inside were all old Fan Hei, and a layer of wooden floor was also erected under his feet, Yue Yi stepped on the wooden plank, making a creaking sound, as if he couldn't bear Yue Yi's weight, and was a little shaky. Every step he took, he would leave a shallow footprint on the plank, which made Yue Yi quite helpless.
"Young man, the big guy on your back is too heavy, let's put it down first, my small shop can't stand your toss. The old man lowered his head and flipped through the account book in front of the counter, and said weakly.
Yue Yi sighed and put away the things behind him. For what the old man knew, it was not surprising at all, according to the weight of ordinary people, how could it be possible to squeak like wood on his feet, the only possibility was that the things he was carrying behind him were too heavy, and everyone could see it.
Looking around, the power of the spirit spread, and found that there was nothing special here, so I put my mind at ease, and looked at the dazzling books around me neatly placed on the shelves, and I couldn't help but have a headache, so many books, how long will I have to read to find the answer I want.
"What type of books are you looking for?" Seeing Yue Yi standing still, the old man asked.
"This, similar to a book that can decipher some graphic codes or something, I wonder if there is a record?" Yue Yi thought for a moment, and finally said cryptically.
"In the corner diagonally opposite you, in the top row, look for yourself. The old man said lightly.
Yue Yi thanked him, walked to the place where the old man said, took a book from the top casually, then glanced at it, and muttered in a low voice: "The mystery of the formation ......"
