Chapter 123: The Fall of the Hades

We couldn't help but gasp, according to the depiction on the stone murals, the identities of Wenmo and the old lama should be mortal enemies!

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Mo saw the symbol on the old lama's shoulder, his eyes changed instantly. It's the first time I've seen Wen Mo's originally clear and deep eyes, full of coldness and murderous aura!

I secretly screamed in my heart, and quickly stepped forward to persuade Wenmo first, but before I got close, Wenmo had already moved, and instantly passed me sideways, and I was bumped by his shoulder. The force was so great that I was stumbled, took two steps backwards, and fell to the ground.

As soon as Kong Xue saw me fall to the ground and hurriedly came to help me, I immediately went to see Wenmo, who was holding a short knife in his hand against the old lama's neck.

Lantern Xiao also looked stupid, it was the first time we saw Wenmo in this state, and Lantern Xiao stayed for a few seconds before reacting, "Boss, what are you doing here?" Don't get excited, speak slowly! ”

Wen Mo said coldly to the old lama: "Tell me, where is my father!" ”

The old lama was resisted by Wenmo's short knife, but he was still unfazed, he folded his hands, "Mr. Hong is no longer here, he only hopes that you will guard these secrets." ”

"Mr. Hong?" I was surprised to hear it, "Mr. Hong is not the one we met in the 100,000 Great Mountain?" ”

"No!" Wen Mo interrupted me, "I said he wasn't the real Mr. Hong!" The real Mr. Hong is my father. ”

I do remember Wen Mo once said to us that the so-called "Mr. Hong" was not the real Mr. Hong, I couldn't understand it at the time, but now I finally understand that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this.

I thought for a moment and said to Wenmo, "Boss, I don't think what the master said is a lie. You put down the knife first, let's talk slowly. ”

"Is he really gone?" Wen Mo's hand trembled, and he slowly put down the knife in his hand, "Let me keep the secret?" But I don't even remember, I've even forgotten what my father looked like. ”

The old lama slowly stretched out his hand and pressed Wenmo's forehead, "Poor boy, this is not what your father wants to see, and he doesn't know that things will turn out like this, I hope you don't blame him." ”

Wen Mo bowed his head and was silent, and after a long while, he raised his head a little dazedly, "What should I do?" ”

The old lama looked into the depths of the river and said, "Just follow your father's wishes." ”

Wen Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and the blankness in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by depth and perseverance. He glanced at us, finally landed on me, and then said to me, "I'll be waiting for you there!" ”

Before I could understand what it meant, Wenmo had already jumped off the plank road, landed lightly in the river, picked up the flashlight and quickly ran towards the depths of the river, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

We were all stunned, and after a while, Lantern Xiao said, "This, what the hell is going on, Master, why did you fool our boss away!" ”

I straightened my gear, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The old lama stretched out his hand and stopped me, "No! Wenmo's skills are extraordinary, forgive me for being presumptuous, at this moment, this river Wenmo can go, you can't go. ”

When Lan Xiao heard this, he was a little unconvinced, "Master, don't underestimate us, we also went up to Daoshan and went down to the sea of fire with Wenmo at the beginning. It's not as good as him, but it's definitely not bad. ”

I looked up at the time, it was getting dark, and the sun was about to set. I know the situation here, once it gets dark, the water level of the dark river will skyrocket, and if we don't get out of the river, the raging river will send us up to the western sky!

I patted the Lantern Festival, "Master, this is for our good, it's not too early, the river is about to rise, let's leave first." ”

Wen Mo nodded thoughtfully, "Won't Wen Mo be in danger?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's probably not our turn to worry about Wenmo yet. ”

"Let's go." The old lama turned around and prepared to walk back.

At this time, Kong Xue used a flashlight to shine not far ahead, and found that there was a stone platform not far away, but it was indeed empty. Kong Xue asked strangely, "Master, what is this for?" ”

The old lama said, "There was originally a particularly magical thing here. It's a pity that it's long gone. ”

"Something magical?" Lantern Xiao became interested when she heard it, "What is it?" ”

The old lama pondered for a moment and said, "This thing can be said to be the embodiment of that power, and it is difficult to express it in words, if you have the opportunity to encounter it, I think you will be able to recognize it, although you have not seen it." The old lama's words made us a little stunned.

Lantern Xiao sighed, "Okay then." Then let's withdraw first. ”

As I walked back, I asked the old lama, "Guru, what do you mean by the stone murals below?" ”

The old lama nodded, "This matter has been talked about for a long time, it was in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, with the diversion of the Tuya Dark River and other factors, the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan was declining day by day. In the end, the underworld people of the Shan Huan Kingdom decided to leave. But there are two attitudes towards the secrets hidden in the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, one is the main battle, and this part of the underworld people wants to reuse this power, just like the Jiuli tribe back to the Central Plains. The other attitude is that of Lord, because no one can control its consequences. The argument between the two forces became more and more intense, and eventually turned into a civil war, which is what is shown on the stone murals. At that time, I was only talking about the general situation, and I am afraid that the specific situation was only clear to the parties at that time. ”

"And then?" I asked curiously.

The old lama continued, "At that time, in the end, it was the Lord's Hades who prevailed and hid that power again. Later, the ancient king city of Shanhuan was set on fire, and all the ruins of the Hades there were reduced to ashes. All the underworld people left, but for hundreds of years afterward, the two remaining underworld forces were still fighting openly and secretly for the hidden power. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer underworld people in the world, and finally they became a rare existence. At this point, the scramble loses its meaning. ”

Speaking of this, the old lama smiled bitterly, "A person of the underworld like me, my ancestors have left such a mark on my body, but I don't want to look for any power anymore, and I don't want to use it for anything anymore. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that such an unknown thing had happened in this world. We are like living on the surface of a calm sea, and the occasional wind and waves have made us too busy to take care of ourselves, but we don't know what kind of drastic changes have occurred in the depths that the sea cannot explore. There are so many things in this world that we don't know.

I said to the old lama with some emotion: "The master has the world in his heart and cares about the common people, which is admirable!" The old lama bowed slightly, folded his hands, and I bowed in return.

I was still thinking about the symbol, so I asked the old lama, "Master, what does that symbol represent?" ”
