Chapter 545: Relationship Network, Key
"What conditions," I asked,
After the half-immortal made a decision, the speed of his speech suddenly became faster, it seemed that he was also worried that before he said everything, his life would come to an end, the half-immortal said his conditions, the first request he made was to hope that everything he told me could not be known to the people behind the scenes,
I nodded, even if the half-immortal didn't ask for it, it was impossible for me to let the mastermind behind the scenes know, and then, the half-immortal said the second condition, he asked me to guarantee that the treasure could not fall into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the second condition was the upgrade and supplement of the first condition.
"Even if I fight for my life, I will do it," I said.
"The third condition, you said, when everything is over, you will live in Yongcun forever and accompany my poor granddaughter," said the half-fairy, "I hope you can do what you say, to be honest, if it weren't for me to see that my granddaughter loves you deeply, and I can see that you are sincere to my granddaughter, no matter how much you ask me, I won't tell you everything, although selfish, but I hope she can be happy,"
I nodded: "This shouldn't be a quid pro quo, I owe Xiaomei too much,"
"The fourth condition, young man, I hope that in the future, all the time, you will not be tempted by such treasures and lose your original intention," I was about to answer, and the half-immortal continued: "You don't know if you have always been like this, or you have slowly become like this, maybe even you haven't noticed that there is a violent atmosphere in your body."
"Violence," my brow furrowed slightly,
The half-immortal nodded: "Don't wait until one day you can't take it back, or when you don't know yourself and then regret it, remember what I said,"
I listened a little foggy, but I still nodded, and finally, the half-immortal said all his conditions, and he began to talk about the treasures that he had guarded for generations, and the half-immortal said, since I don't believe it, he doesn't want to argue with me about whether there are any treasures in this world that can bring people back from the dead,
He just wanted to tell me that that kind of thing, to the unbeliever, is worthless, but for the believer, it has a huge attraction, and he also told me that the killing that comes from that kind of treasure is definitely not only now, but for generations, there are betrayals and killings within the Guardians.
However, as soon as the words of the half-immortal changed, he actually told me that he didn't know where that thing was, my brows furrowed, to be honest, I didn't believe what the half-immortal said, I was wondering, why at this time, the half-immortal still refused to tell the truth,
However, the half-immortal was the first to speak: "I'm not lying, for the protection of a thing, which can be passed down from generation to generation, there are not many things that each of us knows, the old ancestor is very smart, he has long considered the situation in case we, the guardians, are betrayed,"
The half-immortal said that he didn't know where the treasure existed, he only knew that the thing was hidden in the mountains near Yongcun, the mountain where Xiaomei was buried, and the mountain that the half-immortal used to take stones and wood, was the closest place to the treasure, but there were so many mountains near Yongcun, even if it was near the mountain where Xiaomei was buried, there were countless mountains and mountains, and it was impossible to determine the location.
Even if you finally determine a mountain, it is very impractical to search every corner of the mountain.
"Guardian, I only know where the key is, and I only know how the key should be used," the key mentioned by the half-immortal does not refer to the real key, but to the method by which the treasure can be found, and that key is the box that the mastermind behind the scenes has been fighting for.
"In the box, there are two things, one is a pocket watch, and the other is a folded picture scroll," said the half-immortal: "If my fathers hadn't made those two things decades ago, maybe the killing wouldn't have been as serious as this," The meaning of the half-immortal words is obvious, the things in the box are not from the beginning, but the parents of the half-immortal made them,
I also know that there is such a thing as a pocket watch, a long time ago, did not exist, I asked the half-immortal why his father wanted to make such a thing, the half-immortal sighed, said that in fact, the key has always existed, but with the change of the times, the key has been changing,
Generations of people, will make similar keys, and the key to hide, out of the consideration of concealment, the key with the change of the times, constantly destroyed, constantly changed, to their generation, the key has become three things, I was slightly stunned, just now, the half immortal only mentioned the pocket watch and the scroll, did not mention the third thing,
"The third thing, is it with the old man," I asked.
The old Taoist has been saying that Yun Qing got something from him, I suspect, the function of that thing, the same as the pocket watch and the folded picture scroll, the half-immortal nodded, sure enough, he also recognized the old Taoist, and in an instant, the relationship network became extremely complicated, before that, I didn't think that the half-immortal actually recognized the old Taoist,
The identity of the old Taoist is still a mystery, I asked who the old Taoist chief was, and the half-immortal replied word by word: "It's the same as me,"
The identity of the half-immortal is the guardian of the cultural relics of the people, and the old Taoist is the same as him, and the old Taoist is actually a guardian.
Moreover, the half-immortal told me that the old Taoist is also surnamed Huang,
The half-immortal said, in fact, they had known a long time ago, there was a group of people who were eyeing the things they were guarding, and moreover, more than ten years ago, the box kept by the half-immortal was suddenly stolen, and everything began to happen at that time, the half-immortal and the old Taoist also had a disagreement, and the half-immortal only wanted to live in Yongcun forever and guard the treasures they had been guarding.
But the old Taoist wanted to stop the mastermind behind the scenes, so the old Taoist and the half-immortal separated.
The half-immortal told me that the reason why the ancestors are smart is because the key of each generation has more than one thing, just like the half-immortal and the old Taoist, the half-immortal keeps the box, and the old Taoist keeps another thing, and only the keys in their hands can play their due role when they are used together.
It's just that the half-immortal doesn't know what the key of the old Taoist is.
Therefore, the old Taoist will go against the mastermind behind the scenes, so the old Taoist will distribute the same pocket watch to every secular disciple of Sansongguan, which is telling the mastermind behind the scenes that even if they get the pocket watch, there is no way to find what they want, in addition to the two things in the box, there is also a need to have the key in the hand of the old Taoist, so that the treasure will be found,
The mastermind behind the scenes tolerated the old Taoist chief, also because the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to get that thing from the old Taoist chief,
The pocket watch, in my hand, the folded picture scroll, was hidden by Xiao Mei, but I have deciphered the message left by Xiao Mei, and the picture scroll is also in my bag, the only thing that is not certain is what the key in the old Taoist's hand is, where is it, what can be determined is that that thing, very inconspicuous, most likely in Yunqing, but even Yunqing doesn't know when he took something that shouldn't be taken,
The more inconspicuous things are, the easier they are to be overlooked.
Yunqingcai port area, a trip to the port area, absolutely unavoidable,
I thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Isn't it possible to put together three things so that you can know where the treasure is hidden?"
The half-immortal shook his head: "In this world, the poles of yin and yang, are born with gossip, and the gossip of the day after tomorrow indicates everything,"
I was stunned, what the half-immortal said suddenly became chattering again, but, no matter how I asked, the half-immortal refused to say it, he closed his eyes, and the sound of breathing became smaller,
The half-immortal refused to say some things too clearly, as if he was afraid of something,
I thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Is this person the old Taoist chief right or evil?"
"Positive," the half-immortal's mouth only spit out this word,
"After he went to Minato, did you still have contact," I asked.
"Everything he did had nothing to do with me, and I don't know what he did," replied the half-immortal.
"He once made a list of people who were behind the scenes, and I don't know why I was on that list," I continued.
