Chapter Seventy-Three: A Psychedelic Tale

From beginning to end, the old man's eyes were half-closed. When he heard Qin Zhen say that they were looking for Shangri-La to save their best friends, the old man suddenly raised his head and said, "I've seen a lot of people looking for Shangri-La for the power of the Earth's axis. It's the first time I've heard of Shangri-La looking for someone to save people. How do you know that if you find Shangri-La, you will find your friends? You believe in legends so much? ”

When Qin Zhen heard this, this old man could actually say the power of the earth's axis! He is definitely an insider/person with a great connection to Shangri-La!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhen immediately replied to the old man without hesitation: "Yes, I believe it." ”

"Why?" The old man squinted his eyes slightly and asked Qin Zhen.

"Because my friend just disappeared into the place where Shangri-La was guided. Because he believes, I believe. Qin Zhen's words were very simple and firm, and the words were loud. This made the old man's gaze towards Qin Zhen start to become serious and stern.

After a while, the old man nodded slowly. He turned around and said a few words to Qiangba, after which he turned and left. Before leaving, Qiangba also gave Qin Zhen and them a "reassured" look, probably to show that Qin Zhen and them should stay here steadily, and it is very safe here......

Qin Zhen smiled at Qiangba and thanked him, and then watched Qiangba leave. But he knew in his heart that the old man was deliberately trying to support Qiangba. It seems that the old man has something to say to them.

After seeing Qiangba leave, the old man asked Qin Zhen with a stern face, "You said that friend of yours disappeared in the place where Shangri-La was guided?" Are you sure he's really gone? ”

Qin Zhen felt that the old man in front of him seemed to be able to answer a lot of confusion for him, and immediately said categorically: "Yes, old man." I'm sure. I watched him disappear in front of me. ”

The old man sighed and raised his face, shook his head with vicissitudes in his eyes, and said, "It's been seventy years...... I thought I wouldn't hear about that place again in my lifetime. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"

Qin Zhen and the others glanced at each other, although they were all calm on the surface, but their hearts were all excited like a storm! This unexpected escape from death actually led them to meet a mysterious old man who knew the inside story of Shangri-La!

The most important thing is that as soon as the old man opened his mouth, he said that seventy years ago, it must have something to do with the Nazi mission in Tibet.

Qin Zhen could see that the old man's excitement at this moment was definitely no less than theirs. So he didn't urge the old man to continue to say something, but looked at the old man patiently. Waiting for him to slowly calm down.

Finally. The old man let out another long sigh, then slowly stood up and walked into the back room.

Lao Gu and the others were all surprised, and they looked at Qin Zhen vigorously, which meant. What exactly did you say? Put the old man in the gas house?

Soon. The old man came out of the house again. And this time. He had a small burden on his hand, and an old wooden box was wrapped in it. Whether it's the furoshira, or the wooden box inside. It's all old, and it can't be any older. Looking like this, it's like the old man has not taken it out in his arms for 180 years.

The old man put the box on the table, and his hands trembled slightly.

Although Qin Zhen had already thought that the box must contain something extraordinary to the old man, when the old man opened the box, Qin Zhen and the three of them still exclaimed in unison: "Buddha bones!" ”

That's right, what was in that box was a Buddha bone god nail that looked like they had brought out of the Lotus Secret Realm. It's just that the Buddha bones in the Lotus Secret Realm are better preserved due to the environment where the ice and snow are sealed. The Buddha bone in the old man's box is darker and older.

Qin Zhen opened his mouth for a long time and didn't speak! There are a total of twelve Buddha bone nails hidden in the twelve temples of Tibet Demon Town, and they found nine in the lotus secret realm, and this is the tenth Buddha bone nail in the old man's hand!

I thought that the other three roots were brought to Nepal by the original monk, but I didn't expect to find one of them in this isolated village!

The old man was not surprised when he looked at Qin Zhen's shocked expression, but slowly spoke: "As soon as Qiangba told me where you appeared, I almost guessed where you had been. Coupled with the fact that you were all suffering from unusual injuries, I was even more convinced of my thoughts. Since you have made it here alive, you must have ...... the nine demon suppression god nails It's already there......"

When he said this, the old man carried a trace of regret and sadness. It's as if there's nothing he can do to change something.

Qin Zhen hurriedly answered, "Old man, don't worry. A few of us are looking for Shangri-La, just to save people, and there is absolutely no thought of anything wrong. My missing friend is guarding the rivers and mountains in a special way with his life. So we will never do those ambitious things, let alone repeat the mistakes of the Nazis and have bad thoughts against Shangri-La. ”

Not to mention, as long as Qin Zhen speaks, he can almost 100% convince the other party to believe him. I don't know if it's because of the sheer sincerity of his language, or because he doesn't look like a harmful person......

In short, at this moment, the old man seemed to be touched by Qin Zhen, and he hung his head and nodded. Then there was a deep sigh: "You can't imagine what will become of the person who gets the Eye of Shangri-La!" Whoever gets that power, the result must be a misery! ”

Qin Zhen frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of Fu Tianlei who was eyeing him fiercely. In an instant, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy again.

At this time, the old man pushed the box containing the Buddha bone towards Qin Zhen, and then said with a kind of endless expectation: "I can tell you the secret of Shangri-La, and I can also give you this Buddha bone." But you have to promise me...... It must have ruined the Eye of Shangri-La! It must be ruined! ”

Qin Zhen didn't expect the old man to suddenly make such a request for a quid pro quo, but from the old man's earnest eyes, Qin Zhen could see that this was the old man's lifelong wish.

The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "It's been seventy years, almost a century." I've been worried about this all my life, but I also know that I don't have what it takes to destroy the Eye of Shangri-La. The only thing I can do is to take this Buddha bone into the ground. If you can't get together the twelve Buddha bones, no one can reach Shangri-La. The reason why I didn't destroy it was because I couldn't let go of it in my heart. I hope that while I am alive, someone will do for me what I can't do......"

The more the old man talked, the more sad he became, and he didn't know what he remembered. Qin Zhen stepped forward and shook the old man's hand, and then said to the old man solemnly word by word: "I promise you, as long as I can get there alive, I will definitely try to destroy that power!" That's an unbalanced force for the world. Powerful, but also deadly. ”

Listening to Qin Zhen's words, the old man nodded excitedly. However, Lao Gu on the side frowned at Jiang Qi, he felt that Qin Zhen's promise was a little hasty. After all, they haven't even seen a single grass in Shangri-La! Isn't it a bit impulsive to promise now that you're going to ruin that power?

But Jiang Qi shook his head slightly, signaling Lao Gu not to worry. Qin Zhen's promise was not hasty. The Shangri-La Eye is like a upgraded Kowloon Town wall. Staying in the world is a hidden danger! If they could have decided to destroy Zhenguobi at the beginning, they will also ruin the Eye of Shangri-La today. What's more, with Fu Tianlei eyeing him from behind, the burning of jade may be the best result in the end. Because Qin Zhen knew it in his heart, he dared to agree to the old man's request.

The old man took out the Buddha bone from the box, and said very uncalmly: "You should know that the pattern on this is the Shangri-La Eye. ”

Qin Zhen nodded: "Well, we know." ”

"If you want to find the Eye of Shangri-La, you must gather this Buddha bone, launch a ceremony in the sacred mountain shrine, and find the entrance to Shangri-La. Of the twelve Buddha bones in the twelve temples of Tibet's demon suppression, you have already obtained ten. The remaining two Buddha bones are in a monastery in Nepal, and you have to find them all to find Shangri-La. It's still what I said just now, no one can go to Shangri-La without gathering the twelve Buddha bones to open the ceremony. Oh...... Maybe...... Exception is your friend. The old man said thoughtfully.

But Qin Zhen stood up excitedly: "Yudong?!" You're talking about Yuto? So, you think he's still alive? Qin Zhen was overly excited, and asked a series of meaningless questions. The most obvious thing is: The old man knows who Yudong is?

However, looking at Qin Zhen's excited look, the old man could also think that the "Yudong" in his mouth should be the friend they were looking for. So at this time, the old man said very realistically: "I don't think it's useful whether he is still alive or not." Legend has it that those who disappear in the Land of Guidance will be taken to the entrance of Shangri-La. This is the reason why the so-called axis of the earth can change time and space. But no one has ever succeeded...... So I was surprised when I heard you say that your friend had disappeared. ”

Qin Zhen didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, there was excitement, excitement, and mixed tastes. He knew that he was right when he thought that qiē was caused by spatial distortion! If what the old man said was true, then Yudong and Juntian must still be alive! They're just stuck somewhere...... This can also explain why after Juntian disappears, Cangjie's power will still be there.

Of course, Qin Zhen did not ignore the word "legend" in the old man's mouth. That means he's heard it all and hasn't been proven to be true. But...... Whether it is self-deception or luck, Qin Zhen is willing to believe that the "legend" in the old man's mouth is true...... (To be continued......)
