Chapter 359 [Embarkation] (I)
Luo Lie shook his head, he couldn't agree with Feng Jiuqing's words, his mother would never plan such a big game of chess.
Feng Jiuqing said: "If Luo Gongquan knew that you were not the bloodline of the Luo family, he would teach Xia Wen to you?" I'm afraid that he would have killed you a long time ago and would not let you live to this day, let alone send you to Liuyang." ”
Luo Lie looked at Feng Jiuqing and said, "Who are you?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "Help me find Jiuding, and I will tell you everything." ”
Luo Lie said: "Do you know what the function of Jiuding is, why do you insist on looking for Jiuding?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "What are you worried about? Are you worried because of a sentence that Dingding Zhongyuan said? Worried that after I get Jiuding, it will be unfavorable to China?"
Luo Lie said: "I really don't know what special significance these nine copper tripods have, do you really believe that you can win the world with nine tripods?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "I have no interest in power, I like peace, and the reason why I am looking for Jiuding is just for one person." ”
Luo Lie was stunned in his heart: "Alone?"
Feng Jiuqing nodded, her expression was focused and serious at the moment: "Only if I find Jiuding, I can find him!"
Luo Lie looked at Feng Jiuqing, convinced that what he heard was true, Feng Jiuqing looked like a girl in love now, and her love was unforgettable. She worked so hard to find Jiuding just to find someone, that person should be her lover, no matter how strong a person is, there is always a weak place in her heart.
Luo Lie could understand her feelings, he couldn't help but think of Yan Tianxin, if he could exchange Jiuding for Yan Tianxin's resurrection, then he would do it without hesitation, but reason told him that it was impossible: "Can you be sure that Jiuding is in the West Sea?"
Feng Jiuqing said to Luo Lie: "I can be sure that there is a bronze dragon palace at the bottom of the West Sea, and Jiuding is hidden in the dragon palace. ”
Luo Lie said: "Even if there is really such a dragon palace at the bottom of the West Sea, how can we find the exact location to enter it?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "Every nine years, the gate of the Dragon Palace will be opened, and now there is only half a month left for the Dragon Palace to open. If you want to enter the Dragon Palace, you must first look for the Water Splitting Shuttle. ”
Luo Lie was stunned and said, "Water shuttle?"
Feng Jiuqing nodded and said, "According to the information I have, the water shuttle is buried under this ancient city, and it will be able to reveal its true face in a week at most." ”
Luo Lie said, "What do I need to do?"
Feng Jiuqing said, "You found a spar in Flying Eagle Castle, right?"
Luo Lie nodded, he had the spar on his body, Song Changjin used to covet it, and wanted to exchange it secretly, but he never succeeded.
Feng Jiuqing said: "I know that your heart is full of doubts about everything, and the only thing I can guarantee is that you will not regret it." ”
"What guarantees do you have?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "When I find Jiuding, I will tell you." ”
Luo Lie said: "Wasn't it too late then?"
Feng Jiuqing shook his head: "It's not too late, you are the only person in this world who can activate Jiuding." ”
Long before Luo Hunt and their arrival, the excavation work of the water shuttle had already begun, and the excavation hole was in the southeast corner of the ancient city, and Luo Hunt and his party had not noticed it before. The entrance to the cave is only accessible to one person, but it widens when you slide down the rope to the bottom of the earth, twelve meters above the surface.
The people in charge of the excavation are Fang Kewen and Ando Inoshita, and there must be a reason why they are willing to engage in such work.
Fang Kewen already knew that Luo Lie and Feng Jiuqing had reached an agreement on cooperation, and pointed to Luo Lie: "In three days, we will be able to get through and enter our target location." ”
Luo Lie said, "Why did Brother Fang accept her order?"
Fang Kewen said: "If you have the opportunity to become a normal person, do you want to choose?"
Luo Lie said: "She really has such an ability?"
Kevin Fang nodded.
"She's Haruko Fujino, and she's the only one who has mastered the Black Sun Forbidden Codex. Ando's voice rang out from the side.
Luo Lie looked at Ando Inoshita in amazement, when he and Ando Inoshita were separated, Ando Inoshita's throat was still unable to speak, and now he actually spoke freely.
Ando said: "She cured me, if it weren't for her, I would have died." ”
Luo Lie realized that the reason why Feng Jiuqing was able to gather these people to do things for her was because she had an extremely thorough understanding of their hearts, because she knew where their hopes were, whether it was Fang Kewen or Ando Inoshita, they were all eager to return to their normal lives in the past, and they were eager to reunite with their families.
Luo Lie didn't believe Feng Jiuqing's words, he began to feel panicked, worried that his friends around him would be involved, this was by no means a simple archaeology.
Luo Lie knew that it would be difficult for him to persuade the sparrow to change her mind, so he could only turn to Feng Jiuqing for help, and he promised to cooperate with Feng Jiuqing, but the precondition was that the sparrow withdrew.
Everything was carried out in Feng Jiuqing's plan, and after Ma Yuliang's army was defeated again, he actually accepted the reality and did not send the army over again to encircle and suppress, which allowed the excavation of the ancient city to proceed smoothly without interference.
On the day that the water shuttle was dug up, the boat hired by Feng Jiuqing also arrived.
The shuttle is more like a coffin, except that it is in the shape of an olive core and is covered with strange patterns.
Feng Jiuqing gathered everyone to transport the water shuttle to the big ship, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, and he waited for Feng Jiuqing to give the order when to set off.
The bonfire was blazing, and Luo Lie and his old friends sat around the bonfire, and the expressions of several people were not relaxed.
Zhang Changgong poured a large sip of liquor into the leather bag and said, "It's decided?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "It's decided, you all stay on the shore and wait for me, and I'll go with her." ”
Arnold said: "That woman is very eccentric, and one more person can take care of it." ”
Luo Lie said: "Have you paid attention to the water splitting shuttle dug up?
The three of them all nodded, and Lu Weilin said: "What kind of water shuttle, I think it's just a coffin." ”
Luo Lie said: "Whether it's a water shuttle or a coffin, that thing can only hold two people at most, even if you go along, you may not be able to help." ”
Arnold touched the back of his golden head and said, "Do you really want to dive down with that thing?" Luo Lie, you can see it carefully, that thing is not a submarine, if you really go in, won't you be suffocated to death in it?"
Luo Lie said: "Our brothers were born and died together, and it stands to reason that I have no reason to leave you behind this time, but after thinking about it, I really have to go alone this time." He took a sip of the leather bag handed by Zhang Longbow, then wiped the corners of his lips and said: "No matter what Feng Jiuqing says, let's not forget the fact that she is a devourer, when she is in trouble, or when her strength is lost, if she wants to save herself or replenish her energy, she will first attack the people around her." ”
Zhang Longbow nodded, he still had lingering thoughts about what had happened in Flying Eagle Castle last time.
Luo Lie said: "I'm the only one who didn't let her succeed, so if you go with you, you probably won't be able to help me." ”
Arnold said, "You mean, not only can we not help you, but we may even be able to do you a disadvantage?"
Luo Lie nodded, although he knew that saying this would make a few friends sad, but as long as he could let a few of them stay, he couldn't care so much.
Lu Weilin said: "That is to let us stand by and watch." ”
Luo Lie said: "I always feel that things are not so simple, and it is still unknown whether I can find Jiuding." ”
Zhang Changgong's gaze looked into the distance: "Will Mr. Wu go?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "He won't listen to anyone's advice. In fact, after arriving in Xihai, Wu Jie rarely talked to other people, and spent most of his day standing alone.
Zhang Changbow said: "I can not board the ship, but you have to promise that you must return safely." ”
Luo Lie nodded heavily and said, "I promise!" He stretched out his hand, Zhang Longbow, Arnold, and Lu Weilin stretched out their hands one by one, they held each other tightly, and each other felt each other's sincere feelings, which warmed their hearts.
Sparrow sat alone in the tent, she flipped through the diary left by her father, looked at the handwriting on it became hazy, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she and Luo Hunt met, and the corners of Sparrow's lips showed a knowing smile.
A familiar coughing sound came from outside, interrupting Sparrow's memories, and she heard that it was Luo Lie, and said softly, "Who?"
Luo Lie said: "It's me, did you sleep?"
"No, come in. ”
Luo Lie opened the tent door and walked in, and when he saw the diary in the sparrow's hand, he smiled and said, "It's so late, and you're still studying hard?"
Sparrow put the diary aside and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm stupid, wouldn't I be left farther and farther away by you if I don't put in a little effort?"
Luo Lie said: "Mock me, I have a specialization in the art industry, and I have a precedence in hearing the Tao, I can't catch up with you in archaeology in my life." ”
Sparrow said, "Did you come to me to persuade me to leave?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "No, just talk casually." ”
"What are you talking about?"
Luo Liedao: "Do you remember when you were in Beiping, you talked to me about Jiuding's research?"
Sparrow said: "Of course I remember, it was my father's lifelong research, and he also said that if we can prove the real existence of Jiuding, we can greatly advance the history of our Chinese civilization and prove that our China is the country with the longest history in the world." ”
Luo Lie said: "What can we do? No matter how glorious history is, there will eventually be a time when there will be a decline, and the four ancient countries have fallen behind the emerging capitalist countries in today's world, and if they are backward, they will be beaten, and perhaps we should face the reality while exploring history, and think about how to revitalize China in the shortest possible time." ”
Sparrow said: "I don't have that much ambition, nor do I have that much ability, I can only do something for China within my ability." His eyes fell on the diary: "Now I just want to fulfill my father's last wish." ”
Luo Lie said: "What if Jiuding is not the artifact of the legendary Dingding Central Plains, if it represents a disaster?"
Sparrow was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what Luo Hunt meant. He blinked his eyes and said, "What do you know about Luo Lie?" Did you see the Yushen Monument back then? What is written on it?"
