Chapter 100: Mystery Book - Yin
When the man with the big ring knife heard Wang Lun say this, although he was a little suspicious in his heart, but in line with the principle that more things are better than less, he still let Wang Lun go, and after Wang Lun rode away, he heard a sound of ping-pong fighting behind him, these sounds naturally have little to do with Wang Lun, as for Guan Shaoqing's life and death, it has little to do with Wang Lun, so he didn't care, just hurried to Sunset City.
At the same time, Guan Shaoqing's side was struggling to support himself to deal with the attack of this group of pursuers, but after a while, he saw a lot of cold arrows flying out of the jungle on the side of the road, and these cold arrows were pierced into the bodies of these people who surrounded Guan Shaoqing, and many people died because of this, and those who were not hit by the arrows fled one after another, and soon Guan Shaoqing was only left with the corpses that were killed by cold arrows. Just when Guan Shaoqing was kneeling on the ground panting, a strong man came to Guan Shaoqing's eyes, knocked Guan Shaoqing unconscious with a knife, and put Guan Shaoqing in a sack, and disappeared into the jungle in stride.
Wang Lun naturally didn't know these things, he has now arrived at the small village on the side of Sunset City, this is the village where they came to investigate when they robbed grain before, and now this village is not as prosperous as it used to be, Wang Lun dismounted and led the horses into the village, and could only see a few villagers sitting at the door of the house chatting, Wang Lun came forward to inquire and found out that this station-like village was looted by bandits across the mountains not long ago, and it could be said that it was miserable at that time. Later, Sunset City sent troops to remove the post station here, and now the village is basically deserted.
Wang Lun sighed, then ate something at the house of one of the few villagers, fed his horses by the way, left some scattered silver, and then left here, he was helpless about this situation, but he also heard that the troops of the Sunset City into the mountains to suppress the bandits seemed to have no effect, but only temporarily suppressed the momentum of the bandits, and then withdrew, which led to the bandits coming back, even more so before.
Wang Lun didn't take this matter to heart, and drove quickly to Sunset City, this time he was familiar with the road, and soon came to the Guan Mansion, the people at the gate of the Guan Mansion immediately reported to their patriarch as soon as they saw that Wang Lun was coming, Guan Yunlong quickly went out of the house to welcome Wang Lun in, and the two of them came to the meeting hall After the guests and the host sat down, Wang Lun took the lead in speaking, "Patriarch Guan, Wang Mou came this time to fulfill his previous promise, but I don't know if Patriarch Guan has anything else to tell you, If you need to go down to that passage, it's a good idea to go along with everything so you can be prepared. ”
Patriarch Guan thought for a while and said: "Xiaoyou, if you don't say that I really forgot one thing, this is still the old man's ignorance, there was a person who had entered that cave before, it was the unfilial son Guan Shaoqing, but this kid is really fateful, none of the people we sent in before will come back, only he This kid came out by mistake, but after coming out, he didn't describe much of the things inside, just said that it was very dark inside, and there were a lot of coffins, basically no one, There are also a lot of small insects, these small insects will chase people to bite, he also happened to fall into a coffin to avoid these insects, he also described that after entering the feeling of discomfort, inside is cold and abnormal. ”
After listening to Guan Yunlong's description, Wang Lun frowned, he initially meant in his heart that the black hole should have some connection with the black-robed people Shang Yunfei said, but now it seems that there is no connection, is there something in the middle that has been ignored or not discovered. Wang Lun was silent for a while before he spoke: "Patriarch Guan, the junior has a reluctant request. ”
"Little friend, just open your mouth."
"That's good, the junior said." Wang Lun took a moment of thought and continued, "Before, the junior saw a book in the secret room of the Guan patriarch, and the title of the book was written as "Yin", I don't know where the Guan patriarch knew where the book with the title of Yin came from, or whether it can be borrowed from the juniors, maybe there are some important clues in this book. ”
"Oh, this book, I know the origin of this book, but this book can't be read casually, it's not that the old man and I pick the door, but the fourth generation of the patriarch of the clan has repeatedly ordered that this book is a banned book, and no one in the clan is allowed to read it, otherwise there will be a catastrophe that will befall the Guan family, and the Guan family will no longer exist." Guan Yunlong said.
"Did the fourth-generation patriarch ever say where he got this book, and why it was stored in this secret room?"
"This ...... The patriarch didn't say it, but he did say one thing, that is, something related to this cave, as if this book was brought out by the first people who dug through the cave, and then it was directly sealed by the patriarch, it is said that this book can devour people's souls and turn people into dry corpses, but I don't know the specifics. ”
"Patriarch, can you find a secret room for me, I want to read this book, I have a hunch that this book will record things related to this cave, if you want to explore this cave, this book is a must!"
"This ...... All right! Come with me. Guan Yunlong really couldn't resist Wang Lun, so he had to agree to Wang Lun's request, the two of them first came to this underwater secret room, and Wang Lun got this book from the most corner of the place.
After Wang Lun got the book, Guan Yunlong took Wang Lun to a very remote wooden house in the mansion, after the Guan patriarch closed the door of the wooden house, he moved the only table in the wooden house and opened the ground below, and suddenly some steps appeared, Guan Patriarch picked up the oil lamp on the wooden table and lit it and took the lead along the steps, Wang Lun also walked down the steps. I don't know how long they walked, they came to a wooden door, this wooden door has been some years, it feels very dilapidated, then the Guan patriarch said to Wang Lun: "This is a secret hiding place of my Guan family, it will not be discovered by others, the wooden door is not locked, and the little friend can go in directly." After speaking, he handed the small oil lamp to Wang Lun, "There are candles in it, if you have food, I will send someone to send it to this room, and put it on the table outside, Xiaoyou can take it by yourself, and everything will be left to Xiaoyou." ”
"Thank you!" Wang Lun didn't hesitate, pushed open the wooden door and entered the secret room.
