Chapter 37: Terrible Decision
Seeing such an old man kneeling down for me, this is an extremely uncomfortable thing, after all, I don't have this preference, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man Bai. Looking at the old man Bai again, he was already in tears and couldn't cry.
Old man Bai's hands grabbed my shoulders tightly, and said tremblingly: "I've been waiting for dozens of generations, and I've been waiting for dozens of generations, and I've finally waited for you." Let me introduce myself first, my name is: Liu Xingxing, a descendant of Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty, and a member of the cursed Liu family back then, you can just call me Lao Liu Tou, dare to ask the young man your surname?"
When I saw that Lao Liu Tou was so polite, I also changed my tone and replied very respectfully: "You are an old generation, just call me Xiaoqi, as for the big name, don't mention it." May I ask Old Man Liu, why did you give me this big gift just now?"
"You better call me Old Liu, it sounds more pleasant. Didn't you say that you saw a huge green light skeleton?" I nodded at Old Liu, and he continued: "That's right, the ancestor once left a message, saying that before Murong Tiande left, the ancestor asked him how to break this curse. Murong Tiande told the ancestor that when he met someone destined in the future, the curse would be broken by someone who was destined to do so. And the only way to identify the destined person is for this person to be able to see the green light skeleton on the top of the Underworld. Murong Tiande also said that as long as someone was destined to see the green light skeleton, he would definitely be able to break the curse. The seal left in the underworld belongs to the destined person. I've been waiting for dozens of generations, but no one can see the green skeleton, only you, only you can see it, so you are the one who is destined. Please also ask someone who is destined to teach you how to crack it. ”
After listening to Lao Liutou, I was a little stunned, and countless questions were entangled in my mind. I thought to myself, what kind of way is this ancestor playing? What is the fate of seeing the green light skeleton, and he also said that if there is a fate, there must be a way to break this curse. I saw the green light skeleton, which is true, but I don't even know how this curse came about, and how do I know how to break it? For a while, all kinds of questions and confusion appeared in my mind.
"Alas, I said Lao Liutou, since Xiao Qi is the apprentice and grandson of your family's benefactor, then he is also your benefactor, and now he has become a destined person of your family, do you also have to respond to your request?" said to him.
Old Liu nodded at the old prostitute, the old prostitute pointed to the little wolf lying on the ground, and then said: "This person is our brother, what kind of bullshit poison in the Western Regions is he now, do you have to find a way to detoxify him first?"
Just now I just thought about the curse that Lao Liu Tou said, and forgot all about the little wolf, if it wasn't for the old prostitute asking Lao Liu Tou, I'm afraid I would still be confused in those questions just now. I took a look at the little wolf, his face did not improve, it was still so pale, if I didn't know that he was still alive, just based on the little wolf's current face, anyone would think that it was a corpse lying here.
After Lao Liu Tou agreed, he hurriedly ran out, took a torch, ran to a row of coffins opposite the open space, directly lifted one of the coffin lids with his hands, reached out and took out something from the coffin, and hurriedly ran back.
It was only when I ran close to me that I could see what he was holding in his hand, and he had taken out the skull of a dead man from the coffin. When he walked up to us, he threw his skull to the ground, and the dirt on the skull shook down a lot, and then he began to use a torch to burn the lacrimal sac of the skull, which is the inner corner bone of the two eye sockets.
After burning for about a few minutes, he put the torch aside, picked up the scimitar that the old prostitute had just placed on the ground, and with the tip of the scimitar, pulled out a fine black powder from the lacrimal sac, and put it in the little wolf's mouth, fed the little wolf some water, stood up, and said to us, "In less than half an hour, he will wake up." ”
The old prostitute stared at him and said: "My god, old Liu Tou, you can do it, no matter how I asked you just now, you refused to say, and the fuck said that Zhanzhao was not saved, it turned out that you deliberately did not save him, and pretended to point to it and said, it was the poison under it, I think the poison was given by you." ”
"No, this poison is indeed not from me, it is from the owner of this underworld, and the method of antidote to this poison is also what Murong Tiande told his ancestors, every clansman who guards the underworld knows how to detoxify it. However, it is also strange to say, this poison is very weird, and it will be poisoned unconsciously, so every one of us who comes here to guard must take some of this antidote in advance to avoid poisoning. Old Liu Tou explained.
"Do you know who the owner of this tower is?" I asked curiously.
Old Liu Tou shook his head and replied, "I don't know about this, there is no record in the file left by the ancestor. Just mentioned one point, the ancestor once asked Murong Tiande whose underworld tower it was, but Murong Tiande only replied that it was better not to know, so the ancestor did not ask again. ”
The three of us discussed this topic for a while, and Lao Liu Tou pulled out some powder from the lacrimal sac of the skull and handed it to me and the old prostitute, and I ate it without thinking, but the old prostitute did not eat it immediately, but put it in her pocket.
I know it's not that the old prostitute is not afraid of poisoning, he just wants to keep an eye on it, if Lao Liu Tou gives the little wolf not an antidote, but a poison, then if we all eat it, we will inevitably be controlled by Lao Liu Tou, so at this time it shows the sophistication of the old prostitute. I have to admire, the old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, and they will never be like me, so easy to trust others.
Of course, I am not blindly gullible to believe Lao Liu, from the skull curse on his body, I can conclude that he did not lie on the issue of the curse, he is also a victim. And most importantly, he mentioned Murong Tiande and the seal, although he didn't say that the seal was Qiu Yin, but I had a strong premonition that that seal was the treasure of the town sect that disappeared during the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Yin.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
Hearing the wolf's cough, we all looked at the wolf almost at the same time. Although his face has not improved, he can open his eyes and look at us. Lao Liu Tou fed him some water to drink, let him lie down well, don't speak, let alone exert force, saying that if he rested for a while, it would be fine.
Seeing that the little wolf woke up and was not in danger of his life, I was happy from the bottom of my heart, after all, he was the "shadow" of Qiumen and an indispensable warrior by my side.
After another twenty minutes, the little wolf's face changed, and he began to gradually turn bloody, and he was able to move slightly. The old prostitute walked up to the little wolf and asked, "Zhanzhao, how are you feeling now, is there a problem?"
"It's okay. The little wolf replied in a low voice.
"It's okay if you're okay" After the old prostitute finished speaking, she glanced at Lao Liu Tou again, and said, "Thank you, Lao Liu, we have to go, will you go with us?"
When Lao Liu Tou heard the old prostitute say that he was leaving, he was immediately stunned, not only him, but even I was very surprised. Lao Liu Tou immediately set his eyes on me, I saw helplessness and despair in his eyes, I glanced at the old prostitute again, and the old prostitute saw me looking at him, and immediately shook his head at me.
I know what he means, he doesn't want me to deal with curses, and it seems that the old prostitute is very taboo about curses. To be honest, I don't know how to break this curse, but it's really not kind to leave right now now, after all, Lao Liu Tou just woke up the little wolf, and I am in a dilemma again.
Just when I was embarrassed, Lao Liu pounced, knelt in front of me again, and said: "My old bones are not important, and I have lived enough, I have been here for 15 years, there is nothing worth remembering in this world, and I have never thought about going out." But now the times are different, although the Liu family still has many descendants, but no one is willing to take on this kind of waiting responsibility. I'm not for anything else, just for those young juniors, I beg you here to help our Liu family break the curse of hundreds of years. Don't let the descendants of the surname Liu bear the disaster left by the ancestors, I beg you. After speaking, Lao Liutou kowtowed to me several times.
I didn't immediately help Lao Liu Tou up, but looked at the old prostitute and the little wolf, but the expressions of the two of them were completely different, the little wolf nodded, and the old prostitute shook his head. I put my hands on Lao Liu's head and said, "You stand up first and give me three minutes to think about it." ”
It was only a short three minutes, but it was like a day with me, and I wasn't sure that I was the one who was destined to do it, but I was sure that I didn't know how to break the curse of this dark tower. But I want to get back the Qiu Yin that has been missing for hundreds of years, so now I am confused, and I feel that I am the most helpless person now.
After hesitating for three minutes, I made a decision that made me feel terrible, I nodded at Lao Liu, and said, "I'll help you." ”
When I said this, the old prostitute immediately looked at me with strange eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
I shook my head at the old prostitute and didn't speak. The expression on the old prostitute's face immediately changed, pulled me aside, and whispered to me: "Xiao Qi, this is not a trivial matter, what your ancestor can't get, can you get it?" You also saw the skeleton curse on his body, if you are not sure, let's leave as soon as possible, don't steal the chicken and rice, and then invite yourself to curse, that's not a joke, didn't you listen to him, this curse will be inherited, if you don't want your children to be infected with this curse in the future, just leave quickly. ”
"Old prostitute, I have already decided, I want to help him, and I also want to get back the Qiu Yin that belongs to Qiu Men, so don't persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. ”
"Fuck, are you kid crazy, why are you becoming more and more like Zhanzhao's stubborn donkey, don't you understand, or don't know, there is a saying called, listen to people's persuasion, eat well. There are some things I agree with you to be arbitrary, but there are also some things that you have to think about the consequences. "The old prostitute was obviously a little indignant at my decision.
"Alright, don't say anything, wait for me below. With that, I picked up a torch and walked towards the wooden staircase inside, and as soon as I got to the little wolf, the little wolf grabbed me by the arm and said, "I'll go up with you." ”
Although the little wolf still looked weak, judging by the force with which he grabbed my arm just now, he was gradually recovering. The little wolf also picked up a torch and followed me in the direction of the wooden staircase, and when we both reached the wooden staircase, the old prostitute shouted to us, "Wait for me, and I will go up too." ”
The old prostitute ate the powder in her pocket, then picked up the scimitar on the ground, and walked towards us with a torch in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
