I have no intention of hiding the embarrassment of being plotted against me, but I will never admit that I am a coward.

"I am in awe of all thaumaturgy. I replied in a low voice.

Tu Lao Er stopped laughing and immediately fell silent.

After emerging from the soil, Tu Lao Er and I were already outside the northwest corner wall of the small courtyard.

"The ancients don't know life, but they don't know death?" he said to himself, gently shaking off the dirt above his head.

This sentence is the same as what I said about "reverence", and the ancients also said that the ignorant are fearless. If a person lives in this world without fear, it only proves that he is too ignorant of the environment in which he lives.

In the realm of thaumaturgy, only by being in awe, reducing one's status to the minimum, and adopting the most humble attitude to learn and progress, can one live for a long time.

"Do you want to learn submersible techniques?" Tu Lao Er was a little tired, leaning against the wall, his eyelids heavy, and he was drowsy.

If you can freely sneak underground like he did, you can quickly search for the whereabouts of the sunken mirror chamber and solve a big problem.

"Yes. "I seem to see hope.

"It's hard. Tu Lao Er shook his head, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth, "This kind of thaumaturgy is similar to the iron sand palm and black sand palm in Chinese martial arts, and they all use stupid methods to repeatedly temper themselves to succeed." You're so smart, how can you be willing to do things in a stupid way?"

I picked up a twig and sketched the mirror room on the ground.

"What's that?"

"It is a huge building that was originally built underground, and the top surface is level with the ground, and it is named the 'Mirror Room'. Later, it sank for some reason and went nowhere. I think only your submariners can find it. It's important to me, and it's important to most people. I explained to him.

Tang Wan was in the mirror room, and with her ability, it was absolutely impossible to escape from the underground.

Although modern science and technology are developed, no detection technology can be more effective and direct than submersible.

"What's in there?" Tu Lao Er was interested in the mirror room.

"The mirror room can disintegrate human thoughts and memories, and retrieve many forgotten things. It's so powerful that I'm a layman and can only describe it in the simplest terms. I said.

"Tujia thaumaturgy has always only been taught to disciples, to learn the art of submersion, first of all, kneel three times and knock nine times, and worship me as a teacher. Tu Lao Er said.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately nodded: "Okay." ”

Confucius said that if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher.

In the thaumaturgical world, interlacing is like separating mountains, and each thaumaturgy has its own secret techniques. If the submersible art can be passed on, it will be a blessing of Chinese thaumaturgy and the only way to solve the problem of the mirror room.

Tu Lao Er opened his eyes and looked me up and down.

"When can it start?" I asked.

"Why did you come here for? Mr. Zhang went to such great lengths to protect you, why? Diving is not something anyone can learn, it depends on one's talent-" Suddenly, a knife tip peeked out of his chest.

He couldn't go on, and looked down at the tip of the knife.

The tip of the knife peeked out from the wall behind him, and the assassin struck a blow that disappeared without a trace.

My heart sank again, and the stab hit the nail on the head, just as I did when I stabbed the crow.

"I ...... Would love to teach you that you are a gifted person and only someone like you can ...... Carry forward the thaumaturgy, but I can't do it, this knife is deadly...... I suspect that the people who set up the 'dragon head' array deliberately released water so that we could escape. It's not the work of the submersion, it's that someone can't bear it...... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...... My brother is dead, and I can't survive, if you want to learn submersible techniques, just find our Tujia land grandmother, she will definitely be able to ...... Will be able to ......"

Tu Lao Er's facial features were distorted in pain, and he gasped as he spoke.

I can't help it, the knife has pierced the heart with unmistakable accuracy, and the gods can't save it.

"I'm sorry. "Those are the only three words I can say, but they are pale and weak.

"Don't say I'm sorry, this is the rivers and lakes, sometimes you don't die in a hundred battles, sometimes you lose your feet, there are gains and losses, there are losses and gains, isn't it...... I only regret that I didn't see the people of Jinan burn the plaster flags all over the city and kill all the little Japan. If you learn the Tujia submersion technique, you must remember that the Tujia disciples and the Japanese devils are incompatible, and they will fight to the end...... "Tu Lao Er couldn't support it, his body slid down, and he curled up in the corner.

Zhang Quanzhong hurried with the young man, and was also helpless in the face of the serious injury of the second child.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I am dead, it is the best sacrifice to the 'dragon head guillotine' array, and everyone will be safe. I'm finally going to use this life...... made the last contribution to Jinan City, died as he deserved, died as he deserved......" Tu Lao Er said intermittently.

"Second child, you and the third child can go on the road with peace of mind, I will tell all Jinan people about your will. Zhang Quanzhong said gloomily.

"Take him to see Grandma Land...... Pass on the submersible technique...... "Tu Lao Er pointed at me, and his hands were also covered with blood.

I nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the thaumaturgy of the Tujia family be broken." ”

In order to save me, their brothers died in and out of the courtyard, but they had no regrets. It can be seen that although their appearance is ordinary, their thoughts are extremely noble, and they think about "resisting Japan" until they die.

Such thaumaturgists are the pillars of the country and the hope of the nation, and they are worthy of being remembered forever by future generations.

Tu Lao Er didn't hold on for long, and the blood quickly dried up, staining the ground under him red.

"The people who set up the formation are too hateful!" the young man behind Zhang Quanzhong cried out through gritted teeth.

"Why?" I lamented the ignorance and short-sightedness of these young people.

"Isn't it hateful that he killed the third and then the second?" replied the young man.

I shook my head, trying to explain to them, but I held back. After this round of fighting has subsided, we must know that the set-up is not directed at us at all, but against his great enemy. It wasn't the one who set up the formation, but the enemy who always hid in the shadows.

"The bronze mirror—Mr. Zhang, I'm going to get it back?" the young man was eager to try again.

Zhang Quanzhong's eyes flashed, and he replied in a deep voice: "It's okay, since you're here, you can't go back empty-handed." ”

I couldn't help but sneer, and opened my arms to block the way of the young people.

"This is the 'Eight Gates are Dead' big array, not a child's house. If you go through it, you will die, and you will die in vain. Let's all go home, think about it, with your ability, what can you do for this world, don't blindly send your life, the Chinese can't afford to send it. I said.

People must believe in science, and not be like the brainless and reckless men of the Boxer era, thinking that they can really be "invulnerable" with a talisman and holy water in their mouths, and finally all the streets will be killed in the rain of bullets from the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Times have changed, and people's minds must change. Reckless people like the one in front of you will only become a stepping stone for success.

"Let the young people try it, they can already take charge of it on their own. Zhang Quanzhong warned me.

I didn't retreat, I didn't lower my arms, but a young man moved very quickly, and while two of my companions were tangling with me, he jumped over the wall and fell into the courtyard.

Surprisingly, he did not trigger the "dragon head". Later, he came back with the bronze mirror smoothly, slammed his shoulders against the rudimentary wall, and appeared before me triumphantly.

"I made it, I made it!" he excitedly held up the ancient mirror, shaking it above his head.

At this moment, even Zhang Quanzhong was surprised: "What's the matter? The arrangers have already withdrawn? Or is it ......?"

Looking through the gap in the wall, all the bodies were still lying in place, and the yard had not changed.

"Mr. Zhang, the mirror is in hand, can you remove it?" said the young man.

Zhang Quanzhong nodded: "Okay, withdraw immediately." Mr. Xia, shall we go together?"

I shook my head: "You guys retreat first, I'll stay for a while." ”

Zhang Quanzhong's goal has been achieved, and I have gained nothing, so I can't leave.

"We're waiting for you at the Iron Ancestral Hall, come over early. Zhang Quanzhong said.

He led the young men away, and once again there was a dead silence around the courtyard.

The arrangers and murderers were all alive, and they did not distinguish between victory and defeat in this battle, but they killed more than a dozen Chinese in vain.

In the era of the rise and fall of the country and the struggle for hegemony, the most suffering and helpless people were the ordinary people, who faced the earth-shaking upheaval of the whole city, they could only bow their heads and bear silently, gritting their teeth and waiting for the final ending.

"It can't go on like this, the more innocent people die, the more troubled the thaumaturgist's conscience becomes, where are you, show up?" I cried out into the wilderness.

I had a hunch that the one who set up the formation did not stay away, because his "Eight Gates are Dead, and the Dragon's Head" formation did not have an amazing effect.

"Alas......" sigh was heard, just behind the courtyard wall to the right of the gap.

"Senior...... Who the hell is the senior, will you show up?" I asked again.

"You're the only one sober. The sighing man said, his voice hoarse and his tone sad.

"What happened in the courtyard, and whose lives did you set up the 'Eight Gates All Die' Array?" I asked.

As long as the other party speaks, all questions can naturally be answered.

"The Enemy of the Ten. He replied in a low voice.

I clasped my hands on the broken wall, hesitating to cross the wall.

Intuitively, the man had no ill will towards me.

"Now that the formation has been broken, has the enemy been ambushed on the spot?" I asked again.

"It's a pity, it's a pity...... He was cunning, took advantage of my weakness again, and drifted away. I think this is the will of heaven, the enemy of the tenth generation, the enemy of the tenth generation, but he escaped from my killing array ten times. I can't kill him, that's the will of heaven, the will of heaven cannot be violated, the mandate of heaven is like this...... No matter how strong a person is, how can he overcome the sky?Tenth life, it is already my limit, and I can't support it anymore......" The man's voice was full of sorrow, and his breath was becoming more and more dispersed, as if the qi of the dantian was collapsing.

"Senior, can I go over and meet?" I asked.

The other party did not answer, only let out a fierce choking sound.

I immediately crossed the broken wall, only to see an old man in rags lying in the corner, his face downward, his back slumped, trembling and coughing.

"Senior, are you okay?" I leaned down, grabbed his right arm, lifted him up, and sat down against the wall.

His hair and beard were long and messily knotted, no different from a beggar.

The only thing that comforts me is that his eyes are still bright.

Eyes are the window to the heart, and a person with such a pair of clear eyes will definitely not be a beggar who is willing to degenerate.

"Senior, my name is Xia Shi, you hold on, I'll take you out to find a doctor. I whispered in his ear.

"My ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, my time of death has come, I don't need to find a doctor, the doctor can't cure me...... Your name is Summer Stone, and it's good, it's good...... Remember, if the enemy of the tenth world does not die, the world will never be at peace...... This is not a war between countries, but a war between men and demons, and on the surface it is a Japanese invasion of China, but it is all a false appearance, and we must explore the truth...... This is the battle between man and demon, the battle between man and the lord of the merman...... You are a descendant of the Xia family, and I am also a descendant of the Xia family, remember, the ...... of the Xia family The mission is to destroy ...... Destroy the lord of the merman, remember, it is not surrender, it is annihilation, complete annihilation, leaving no aftermath...... It has multiple illusions and many changes...... Only by draining the water of the East China Sea can it be completely destroyed, and you must remember that this is the mission of the Xia clan...... I opened the 'dragon head guillotine' on one side, just because I didn't want the Xia clan to be extinct, but this little selfishness has been used by the lord of the merman to escape from the gap...... This is a lesson, a painful lesson, and if you encounter the same situation again, you must set an example and die with the Lord of the mermen...... The slightest selfishness, remember, child, mission is greater than human life, responsibility is heavier than everything, our Xia clan people live, not for themselves, but for the world...... ...... for the world"

He kept narrating, and I interjected several times to take him to the doctor first, but he pressed his shoulder with his backhand and couldn't struggle.
