Chapter 176: Doubts
After the big head climbed up smoothly, a few of us also started to climb up one by one along the rope. Crooked mouth in the last one, and after tying Kong Sanye to the rope and letting us pull it up, he grabbed the rope we threw down again and began to climb up.
After coming up, I found that the water flow of this small river in the upper reaches of the waterfall is also very gentle, the river is knee-deep, about ** meters wide, and some fish and crabs can be seen in the water from time to time, and there are frogs and other animals on the side.
"Hadron, the animals in this river are much more normal, much more agile than the stupid fish below. And there are fish here, if you walk down there you can see it, there are no fish down there. The big head turned to me as he opened the way in front of him.
The river above, grandpa's diary is not recorded, so the surrounding environment looks very unfamiliar, fortunately the road is relatively easy to walk, out of the water and grass a little deeper, we did not encounter any trouble.
Walking up the river for more than two hours, the upstream is getting more and more difficult to walk, the mountains on both sides of the river are getting steeper and steeper, looking at the sky is not early, we came out today and did not plan to start looking for it, but just to inquire about the news, only brought simple food, a lot of tools are in Ah Feng's house, so we began to walk back.
"Qiangzi, you wait a while, I'll catch a few fish and go back." When he went down the waterfall and walked back to the stupid fish, Datou took out a large plastic bag from his backpack, which seemed to have been premeditated.
Since the fish in the river are so easy to catch, and the fish are relatively large, the big plastic bag on the big head fills up in less than a few minutes. When a few of us went back, we were empty-handed, and we walked back relatively easily, only the big head was alone, carrying such a big bag of fish, wearing rough clothes and desperately rushing behind.
When we returned to Ah Feng's stilted building, it was already dark, and Ah Feng was waiting for a few of us outside with lanterns. When they saw us coming back, they excitedly came out to greet us.
The meal was ready, and the old man glanced at us lightly on the table, and then after saying a few words to Ah Feng, it was still Miao dialect. Ah Feng said that the old man meant that we should go and tidy up first, and then come down to eat.
After eating, the old man of the Ah Feng family came over again, patted me on the shoulder, pointed to his room, and then walked upstairs. In the morning, I knew that the old man would definitely talk to me when I came back, and I was already prepared, so I directly took the dragon knife and followed the old man upstairs into his room.
"Your grandfather left you this knife?" After the old man waited for me to enter the room and closed the door, he went straight to the subject and asked me.
"No, it was given to me by Kong Sanye, as for how this knife appeared in Kong Sanye's hand, I don't know." I sat down across from the old man and said truthfully.
The old man picked up the knife, pulled it out of the sheath, looked carefully at the dragon pattern on the knife, and gently stroked it with his hand, as if he was recalling something, and fell into contemplation for a while, I shouted several times before the old man woke up from his contemplation.
"Ye Qiang, this knife seems to be missing something, and I don't know what is missing for a while, it looks like a person has no soul, only a body remains." The old man put the knife back into its scabbard and said to me.
As for what this knife looked like before, I don't know, so the old man said that what was missing from this knife, I couldn't feel it. But this knife is indeed a treasure knife, this must be right, a knife that can be coveted by archaeologists, can it not be a good knife?
I told the old man a lot of things about getting this knife, especially being controlled by the dragon knife and confronting those ghosts, and the feeling when being controlled by the dragon knife, all of which I told the old man. After listening to this, the old man fell into deep thought again.
After a while, the old man raised his head and looked at me, originally thought that Kong Sanye could control people to fight after hearing about the dragon knife, and could identify ghosts, and he could figure out what this dragon knife lacked, but I didn't expect the old man's words, which almost made me bite my tongue.
I saw that the old man picked up the dragon pattern knife again, pulled out the knife and carefully touched the dragon-shaped carving, and then sighed and said: "This knife is really useless." ”
I really didn't expect that the old man would come to such a sentence. In my opinion, this dragon pattern knife is already very powerful, but the old man also said that this knife is useless, so if this knife is not abolished, how powerful it should be.
"I don't know what happened to your grandfather, he actually lost this knife, but now in your hands, it's not bad, it's a pity that this knife is useless, I guess your grandfather can't look down on it." As he spoke, the old man handed the dragon knife back to me.
It turned out that my grandfather knew this dragon knife, and I remembered that in the ancient castle under the blood river of Qinchuan, my grandfather saw this dragon knife when he rescued me, but my grandfather didn't look at it at that time. Now I know that my grandfather knew this knife, and the reason why he didn't take it away was because his grandfather couldn't take this knife anymore.
When I was about to ask some more questions, the old man had already waved off the guest, and I didn't stop long, and went straight back to the room with the dragon knife.
Datou and Datuan are already waiting for me inside, but Crooked Mouth and Kong Sanye are not here. Recently, I always feel that Kong Sanye is weird, but I can't say what is weird, it seems that since I arrived here, I rarely even speak, and I don't know what's going on, the more this happens, the more suspicious I become.
"Qiangzi, what did the old man call you for, is it specially for you to open a small stove to teach kung fu, the old man looks very much like a martial arts master, and when you go up with a knife, it looks like a teacher to learn art." After the big head finished speaking, he laughed first, and I didn't think there was anything funny about it anyway.
I said the old man's words directly, of course, I hid the relationship between grandpa and the old man and the dragon knife, but I just said that the old man had seen the dragon knife in his early years and knew the power of the dragon knife. And now this dragon pattern knife is powerful, I also told the old man, but now this dragon pattern knife is just a waste in the eyes of the old man, compared with the previous dragon pattern knife.
Hearing that the old man called this dragon pattern knife a waste, an incredible expression appeared in the eyes of the big head and the big group. The dragon pattern knife is powerful, the big head and the big group have seen it with their own eyes, and they have also experienced it personally, so they are also quite clear, but now they are called waste, you can imagine how shocking it is.
As for how the dragon pattern knife was scrapped and how it fell into the hands of Kong Sanye, I'm afraid I have to ask Kong Sanye to get the answer, if I first met Kong Sanye, I might not hesitate to ask him, but now for Kong Sanye, we have begun to become more and more suspicious, and these things will not be asked to him.
The big head took the dragon pattern knife and pulled it out and looked at it carefully, touching the dragon-shaped carving with his hand, as if imagining how powerful this knife would be in its heyday.
I ignored Datou and Datuan, and let the two of them look at the dragon pattern knife over there, while I opened my grandfather's codex and started to read it.
The first few pages of the codex are similar to what the old man said, that is, after he got sick, the old man helped to treat the disease, and then accompanied the old man of the Feng family and the old master to the mountains to treat the bandits, but there was a blank period in the middle of what the old man said, but it was not written in the grandfather's codex.
I was about to flip through the Codex when I was looking for it when there was a knock on the door. The three of us and the big head and the big group looked at each other, and the big head clenched the dragon pattern knife and asked loudly, "Who is it?" ”
"It's me, Ah Feng. Qiangzi, grandpa let you go over. After hearing Ah Feng's voice, our tense nerves relaxed, but then we began to wonder again, it's so late, what is the matter with the old man looking for me, isn't it not long after he came out of the old man's room, why do you want to go again.
Since the old man asked Ah Feng to come and call me over, then there must be something to say, I came out of the bed, put on my clothes and shoes, and went out and walked towards the old man's room with Ah Feng. Before going out, the big head handed me the dragon knife he was playing with in his hand.
As soon as he entered the old man's room, he asked a strong smell of medicine. When the old man saw us coming in, he waved his hand and motioned for Ah Feng to go out first, leaving me here alone, and I looked at the old man who was busy over there suspiciously, wondering what was the matter with him calling me over.
"Qiangzi, sit down, didn't you ask when the Zi Gu in my body will be completely discharged, I have completed the medicine in the past two days, and I can eliminate the Zi Gu in my body for you tonight." The old man said to me while dispensing medicine.
Hearing the old man say this, I remembered that the Zi Gu in my body had not been drained yet, if it wasn't for the old man's reminder, I guess I would have forgotten, the amount of information I got in the past two days is a bit large, such as Grandpa's Codex, such as Grandpa's living here, and for example, the matter of the dragon pattern knife, which makes me feel a little overwhelmed.
The old man was busy in a few minutes, and put the big bowl of black freshly boiled herbs in front of me. When I asked about the taste, I had the urge to vomit, but the old man didn't let me drink it at the first time, but climbed up to the attic again, hugged the jar of five poisonous wine, poured a full bowl of wine, and put it next to the bowl of medicine.
Then the old man raised his head and signaled me to drink the medicine first and then drink, and I must drink it in one go, so that I can give full play to the effect.
