But when they opened the map, they had to be taken aback again, and their minds were ruthlessly drained again and again - the location of this secret room sign was in the waterfall mountain, and it was the center part!

The entrance to the secret room is not hidden, just a hole, and there is a warning sign hanging at the entrance of the cave: There are monsters inside, please do not crash in! The entrance to the secret room is a natural dark tunnel (the secret room is also natural, and later some mechanisms and devices were added after transformation), and there are many mechanisms and passes set up along the way, and people who don't know, even if they have nine lives, they will not be able to reach the secret room. However, they had a crack map and a stone lamp in their hands, so they could naturally swagger in.

When I opened the door of the secret room, there was a different scene inside: the room was spacious and magnificent, the stone lamps were brightly lit, all kinds of natural strange stones were displayed on the ground, and there was even a small river gurgling through, probably from the mountain, but I don't know where to think about it. They poked their heads in, and when they saw that no one was there, they stepped in.

In the middle of the night, of course, there was no one inside, and many of them gathered in another secret room in the villa to discuss national affairs.

They didn't have time to enjoy the strange sight in the cave, they just wanted to find the sword as soon as possible, and then pat their butts and leave. But the whole secret room turned upside down, and there was no trace of the unicorn fire, but there was a very suspicious point, that is, a large stone box in the center of the secret room, which looked more like a sarcophagus, with some strange text symbols and patterns, etc. If this was a coffin, it might be a giant lying in it - it was ten feet long, five feet wide, and five feet thick!

Several of them worked together, and it took a lot of effort to push the lid of the coffin open (they were still wary of whether there would be any mechanism inside, so they were very careful, but there was no rainstorm shooting out of it), and they gasped - the official unicorn fire lying inside!

But a faint purple gas enveloped it, making the gem on the hilt of its sword bloodless and dull, and it lay there like a dead fish!

Tao Xiaozhi was about to reach out to take the sword, when he was suddenly stopped: "Wait!"

Behind them, there was the figure of an old man—the old man who forgot his feelings! He scratched his long, messy beard, and looked at it with a smile as if he were looking at a bunch of fools—but they thought he was more like a fool!

Tao Xiaozhi was not much surprised, and said lightly: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'll be here—" laughed the old man, "I knew someone would come back to steal it, how could I not be here? I knew from the beginning that you were here for it。。。。。。。。! This surprised me a lot。。。。。。。。 ”

"You know the purpose of our trip, why did you pretend to be crazy and stupid?" The iron bucket was obviously a little angry, as if someone else had snatched his baked cake.

"Do I have it?" the old man patted his head and laughed, "How did I forget。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Don't do this, this deceptive trick is no longer useful to us!" Iron Bucket sneered.

"That's Lao Suo's fault。。。。。。。 ”

"Don't you really remember me?" Tao Xiaozhi said.

The old man smiled: "My memories are good and bad, but some things are still more profound, such as the date of my first love。。。。。。。 "He's got a knack for forgetting things, and he's a genius when it comes to jokes!

"Then why didn't you admit it just now?"

"It's not that I don't want to," said the old man, "I don't dare!" admitting that I know you is also admitting that the Qilin Fire is in the Waterfall Villa! If this news gets out, what kind of consequences will it cause, do you know? Therefore, I would rather others treat me as a madman than bring unnecessary trouble to the Waterfall Villa and myself。。。。。。。。 ”

"It's very sensible to do this!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "but I almost deceived us。。。。。。。。 ”

"Nearly killed us, too!" said the iron bucket unceremoniously.

The old man said with a serious face: "You shouldn't have come-"

"Afraid of missing your big event?" Tao Xiaozhi asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid you'll lose your lives!"

This sentence really gets to the point, and they have a deep understanding just now!

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I just want to get that sword back." ”

"But it's not your sword!"

"It's not your sword either!"

"Do you think you deserve it?"

"I've heard a lot of such words!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "I just want to get this sword back, I just need you to answer: give it or not give it!"

"Good. The old man smiled and said, "My answer is: If you can take it, take it!"

"That's what you said, and you can't go back!" said the iron bucket.

"No backtracking!"

As soon as the iron bucket grabbed the sword, the muscles and fat of his whole body trembled--but he didn't grasp it at all, and the sword was as if it weighed a thousand catties, and it couldn't be grabbed at all! Why did it do this, could it really weigh a thousand pounds? No matter how the iron bucket was pulled out with both hands, how it was trampled with its feet, or how it was prying with its two axes, it could not change its "sleeping position" at all, and it would only fall to the ground tired and panting! It was like a needle in the sea, and it was better to pull it up than to pull it up!

"Are you acting?" Amu questioned, tried it himself, and got the end of the iron bucket.

The old man laughed, clearly premeditated: "You will never take that sword。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What the hell is going on?"

"Guess what—"

"We don't have time to play with you now!" Tao Xiaozhi was obviously a little angry, because he knew that what the old man had just said was just a fool's trap!

"I thought you were a pretty sentimental person—I didn't expect you to become so impetuous。。。。。。。 ”

"It's not good for anyone to be played like a fool。。。。。。。。 ”

The old man laughed and said, "Here's a hint to you: it's related to this sarcophagus—"

Tao Xiaozhi looked at the strange talismans on the sarcophagus, was startled, and said, "It's cursed?"

"You're so smart!" laughed the old man, sounding not just compliments but sarcasm!

Then he continued: "This sarcophagus is cursed, as long as you leave something there for more than three hours, it will be cursed and lie there forever! It is called the 'ghost bed', and it was originally invented to prevent people from stealing corpses, but later generations found that it was better to use it to hide other things than dead corpses。。。。。。。。 ”

"How to lift this curse?" Tao Xiaozhi thought, if something can be cursed, there must be a way to lift the curse.

"Do you think I'm going to tell you?" the old man looked at Tao Xiaozhi with a strange smile.

Tao Xiaozhi laughed and said, "Of course you won't tell me, unless you want me to take it away!"

The old man laughed out loud and said, "Actually, I really wish someone could take it away—"

"Why?"

"For everyone's safety and for your own safety—" The old man lifted his chest, there was a wound a few inches long on it, which had not yet healed completely, he touched the scar and smiled, "Guess how it got it?"

Tao Xiaozhi looked at the scar and then at the Qilin Fire, and exclaimed, "Could it be it?"

"That's right. The old man's face changed suddenly, as if he had fallen into a terrifying atmosphere of palpitations, and he said to himself, "It almost killed me。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi remembered that on the night he was swept into this demon world, the Qilin Fire also went crazy, took him into a fight, and almost killed many people by mistake! This is a sword with the soul of a fire Qilin, it can kill whoever it wants, and only one person can stop it, and that is its master, the Qilin Knight, laugh!

It may have been that the old man had provoked him, or that he had lost his temper, or that for some other reason, it had stabbed him and almost killed him, and he had put it in the "ghost bed", cursed, unable to move, and lay in it like Tarzan.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Do you want to keep it by your side?"

A light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said, "I have another intention in keeping it-"

"What intentions?"

"Take it as a 'slogan' for the uprising!"

"The slogan of the uprising?" How did the Qilin Fire have anything to do with the uprising? Could it be that the death of Xiao Yiyou has something to do with the Demon Emperor Night Crescent?

The old man said again: "Do you know how to die when you laugh and swim?"

"It is said that it was for the mad non-killing。。。。。。。。 ”

"Do you know where he died?"

"I don't know. ”

"Ye Tianfu!" "The old man who forgot his feelings widened his eyes, as if he wanted to amplify this anger, "This is the home of the current Demon Emperor Ye Tianya!"

Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed: "That could be the reason for the night tooth?"

"It may be Ye Tian Ya, or Ye Tian Meng (his father), in short, it is inseparable from Ye Tian father and son!" "The old man gritted his teeth, "Regarding Xiao Yiyou's death, another version circulated in the rivers and lakes is that Ye Tianmeng invited Xiao Yiyou to Yetianfu (they are very good friends), poisoned the wine and food, Xiao Yi You found out about their conspiracy after eating half a glass of wine, Ye Tianmeng, Ye Tian Ya and the foreign Ying Maniac they invited to deal with Xiao Yiyou!" Originally, even if the three of them joined forces, it would be very difficult to kill Xiao Yiyou, but Xiao Yiyou was poisoned and finally died under their sword。。。。。。。。 In order to protect themselves, the father and son of Yetian blamed the madness, which is the most widely circulated version in the rivers and lakes。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why did Ye Tianmeng kill Xiao Yiyou, aren't they good friends?"

"Probably because of jealousy!" said the old man, "he is jealous in his heart that Xiao Yiyou'。。。。。。。。s martial arts are higher than him, that he has become a Qilin Knight, that he is jealous of all his fame and achievements, in short, he is very jealous! So, he really wanted to get that sword and use it to make a great deal of his own fortune - that was another important motive for him to kill and laugh!"

When a person is jealous and attacks his heart, his brain will become more or less disobedient, and what can he not do at that time? Don't say that he kills someone, even if he kills himself, he can do it!

Tao Xiaozhi finally understood why he used the Qilin Fire as the "slogan" of the uprising -- of course, in the name of revenge for the Qilin Knight's laughter, to strengthen the momentum of the uprising, this is likely to be a key part of determining success or failure! Everyone knows that the laughter is famous all over the world, and everyone in the Demon Domain knows that the uprising in the name of revenge will definitely get the response and support of many people, and the overthrow of the rule of the Demon Dynasty will be just around the corner!

So, this sword is extremely important for the uprising, which is why the old man who forgets himself risked his own life and the lives of others to stay!

And the significance of this sword to Tao Xiaozhi is quite insignificant, it is not worth mentioning at all—it is just a souvenir—why didn't he leave the sword as an adult? What's more, it wasn't his thing in the first place.

Why not give up petty self-interest and achieve great righteousness?

Tao Xiaozhi stared at the sword for a long time, sighed and said, "Maybe I really shouldn't - it will be of greater use in your hands!"

"I don't know how you got this sword, and I don't want to know. "But if it had chosen you before, I would suggest you take it away—"

"Why?" Tao Xiaozhi was even more confused.

The old man gritted his teeth, his eyes revealed a trace of sadness, and said: "I can see that it is extremely unwilling to stay here, and even does not hesitate to break free from my hands。。。。。。。。 If you don't believe it, you can look around, and there are traces of it everywhere。。。。。。。 ”

The stone pillars that had been cut by Qi Gen, the strange stones that had been split (he had thought the smooth and flat incisions were natural), and the countless sword marks on the walls and ceiling of the cave (which he thought had been left by the holes), could tell how much it wanted to break through the thick prison that surrounded the walls on all sides!

"It wasn't until I threw it into the 'ghost bed' that it lay there obediently。。。。。。。。 "I know I'm sorry to do this, and I'm sorry to laugh, but 。。。。。。。。。 After the success of the uprising, I will definitely send it to the grave of Smile and let them reunite。。。。。。。。。 "This old man has been in tears and can't cry!

The throats of several of them were blocked, tears glistening, and sighing!

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It didn't choose me, it just wanted to return to him!"

He can imagine how painful it is for a sword to be sealed under someone's bed in the human world, a person in a grave in the demon world, after many years of separation, when they were once still one (they have become one with the sword)? (He also understands why this sword has such a strange temper - loneliness!) And many "weirdos" in reality, they have strange personalities, rarely interact with others, and often do things that are incomprehensible to others, all because they are lonely!) This kind of loneliness is not only a monomorphic shadow in the body, but more importantly, the emptiness and loneliness in the heart!

Loneliness is always a terrible thing, a demon that is hard to defeat! It may creep up on your bedside and strangle you on a lonely night!

"But。。。。。。。。 "No matter what, I have to respect its decision - if it decides to go with you, I will not force it!"

"You're going to put it out?"

"I respect it as much as I respect a smile!" said the old man, "I shouldn't have trapped it in this dead coffin。。。。。。。。 ”

"It's going to kill you!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Because you threw it into the 'ghost bed', it has already you off。。。。。。。。。 ”

"That's because I deserve it!" said the old man reproachfully, "Tell me to treat it like this."

Tao Xiaozhi wanted to comfort him, but what he said was so right! And if the old man who forgot his feelings released it and lost his life, this was what Tao Xiaozhi did not want to see! Between the left and right dangers, he was speechless!

"Then let it go!" said the bucket, "if it has a heart like a smile, it won't kill you!"

"Even if you kill me, I'll forgive it。。。。。。。。。。 ”

The old man walked into the "ghost bed", stroked the strange symbols on the sarcophagus, especially the concave triangle symbol on it, and was about to bite his finger - what was he doing?

By the way, he's going to lift the curse. Here's how it works: put something in a sarcophagus, put a lid on it, and drip its own blood all over the triangle, and when it is sucked dry, it forms a curse, and the thing inside is cursed and lies there like Tarzan, and it cannot be taken out;

Before he could bite his finger, a gust of wind suddenly arose out of nowhere, and then the aftermath roared like thunder, echoing in the cave!

Where does this wind and howling come from?

This shocked the people present, as if their souls had been scraped away just now! Especially Tao Xiaozhi, this voice seemed to bring him back to that weird dream!

Then something even more shocking happened again - Tao Xiaozhi suddenly flew up with fangs hanging between his neck, as if he was blown up by the wind. Tried to pull him towards the ghost bed, but his feet slammed on the sarcophagus so that he could get the help of the backwards, and grabbed the necklace tightly with both hands, otherwise it flew away!

Then, the fangs suddenly turned red! Almost at the same time, the crystal clear gems on the Qilin fire handle suddenly gave birth to pieces of blood-like things, which intertwined and merged into a "blood stream", churning in it, and then the whole sword suddenly "pounced", giving birth to a fire, burning it!

The fangs and the unicorn fire seemed to have been ignited by the same powerful and mysterious power, and they were attracted to each other! This mysterious power, the power of the curse, and the power of Tao Xiaozhi were competing with each other!

So what the hell is going on?!"
