In the Human World Chapter 64 The Picture of the Goddess
More than ten days have passed in a flash. Originally, Dugu Zhishui was worried that the Li family would send someone over again, and then there would be a lot of trouble. However, it seems that the mission suffered too many casualties, and since that day there have not even been any members of the team who have stayed outside to care for the wounded. Dugu Zhishui inquired about the news by the way by going out to buy medicine, but unexpectedly discovered the identity of the hunter captain. He heard that recently, the three masters of the Divine Archer Hunter Guild brought a luxurious team and took the treasures of the guild to hunt a martial sect-level demon beast, but the result was a heavy loss, and the whereabouts of the three masters and the treasures of the guild were unknown.
Dugu Zhishui then remembered that the thing called Tianluo Diwang was still in his hands, and he wanted to keep the thing and knock the shopkeeper hard, but he thought that this move was undoubtedly exposing himself, so he could only hide in Qingqiu Mountain first. Now that the wind is tight, this thing should not be sold at this time, otherwise it will be easy to be found by the Hunter Guild. But he still went to the Archers Hunters Guild, not for anything else, to get his bounty. Although he didn't help much, but now that the gang leading the way has disappeared from the world, can the guild not give them a little compensation for the survivors?
Dugu Zhishui walked to the counter and knocked as usual, only this time he didn't have a demon beast to sell. The shopkeeper doesn't look out of the ordinary, as if nothing has happened recently.
"Is there anything good this time?" asked the shopkeeper.
"It's out of stock this time. ”
"Is there something to buy?"
"I don't buy anything. ”
"So what are you doing here?"
"Think about it, have you forgotten something?" Dugu Zhishui raised his eyebrows, rubbing his thumb and index finger against each other.
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"Think about it again, did you invite me to do something a while ago. Dugu Zhishui rubbed his fingers again.
The shopkeeper frowned, as if he was trying hard to remember, but after a while, he shook his head, "I can't remember." ”
"Profiteer, you pretend again, keep pretending!" Dugu Zhishui slapped the counter, "Didn't you invite me to hunt demon beasts a while ago?
"Oh......" the shopkeeper seemed to realize, "it was for this." I said it earlier, beating around the bush. Dugu Zhishui looked at his reaction and thought that he would give money happily, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper followed up with a sentence, "I want money, no." ”
"You profiteer, why don't you give me the reward I should get? If you don't give me the money today, I will help you publicize it in the future, so that the hunters will know that your guild is in arrears of commissions and cheats the hunters of their hard-earned money!"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that the person who came back said that your kid slipped away by himself in the middle of the road, and you are embarrassed to come to me to ask for a bounty?"
"He's farting!" Dugu Zhishui slapped the counter again, "Who did you listen to? I was the one who was the pioneer with Ah Yan and Sun Xiaofeng, the three of us were trapped in a maze and attacked again, and I finally got out of that ghost place." When the results came out, the large army had already set out, and only two horsemen remained in the camp. I didn't see anything to do, so I took the first step!"
The shopkeeper glared and said, "You little rabbit, you are stupid to me! What do you say? That's impossible!"
"Anyway, I don't care, if I don't give money, I'll stay here today. ”
The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Whatever you want!" Oh, by the way, we don't care about tea or food here!"
Dugu Zhishui was angry, "You old scoundrel!"
"You little scoundrel!"
“......”
In the end, Dugu Zhishui was defeated, and Dugu Zhishui sighed at the thickness of the shopkeeper's skin. In this regard, he had to sigh that Jiang was still old and spicy, and his face was still ...... The old one is thick. Dugu Zhishui didn't expect the shopkeeper's performance to be the same as usual. He originally thought that the Hunter Guild had suffered such a big loss recently, and the shopkeeper should have a bitter melon face and disdain to entangle with him. For according to his observations, the treasurer was very authoritative in the guild, and he must have been one of the rulers of the guild. Only he knows why the shopkeeper is so calm, and Dugu Zhishui can only guess that he either really doesn't care about the affairs of the guild, or he has a conflict of interest with Lao Lintou.
Before the salary negotiation was successful, Dugu Zhishui returned to Qingqiu Mountain. This time he finally didn't have to be as embarrassed as before when he passed through the misty forest, it turned out that this misty forest was the ancestor of the Gu family with great mana to lay out the mountain protection formation, in order to facilitate the Gu family's descendants, he deliberately left a back door in the array, the Gu family's descendants can engrave the small magic circle he left on the jade plate, when the spiritual power is stimulated, the small magic circle on the jade plate resonates with the mountain protection array, so that the fog will automatically dissipate wherever the jade card goes. Dugu Sailor held the jade plaque in his hand, and admiration arose. With such an ingenious design and such a comfortable control of the aura of heaven and earth, the ancestor of the Gu family was not only a great painter, but also a great cultivator.
Passing through the canyon, you can see the entire valley. At a glance, there is a circular stone platform in the center of the valley that is extremely conspicuous, and eight stone pillars are evenly distributed around the stone platform, and many strange symbols are carved on the stone pillars, which look like some kind of rune. The crevices of the stone platform are overgrown with weeds, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Looking out from the entrance of the valley, to the right of the stone platform are some houses. On the left is a dense forest with small mounds sporadically raised.
When he returned to the valley, Gu Boqing was sitting on the threshold and teasing the two little foxes. His injuries have basically healed, and he was able to move freely as early as a few days ago, but his body is still very weak due to the lack of qi and blood caused by his excessive blood loss. One of the two little foxes is pure white and the other has mixed coats, but neither of them has three tails like the three-tailed white fox. According to Gu Boqing, the little flower fox was born to a three-tailed white fox, and the little white fox was born to another white fox. As for the father of the two little foxes, Gu Boqing knew that the father of the little white fox was a white fox in the valley, but who the father of the little flower fox was Gu Boqing didn't know, he only remembered that the three-tailed white fox suddenly gave birth to the little flower fox a few months ago.
"Has anyone come from the valley in the past two days that I have been away?" Dugu Zhishui sat beside Gu Boqing, and the two little foxes disappeared in a flash, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Nope. Gu Boqing paused and asked, "What are your plans next?"
"I'm going back to Anping City to investigate some things. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I couldn't tell for a while. Dugu Zhishui continued: "Don't forget, your life is mine now, you go back to Anping City with me." ”
"I'll go to Anping, if the Li family finds out, it will cause you trouble. ”
Dugu Zhishui was expressionless, "I'll be more troublesome if you continue to stay here." ”
Gu Boqing was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and patted his buttocks. "Take you somewhere. ”
"Where?"
"Haven't you always been obsessed with our picture book? ”
Dugu Zhishui followed behind Gu Boqing, and the two walked until the end of the valley, where there was a stone cave on the dark red stone wall. This cave is facing the entrance of the valley, but because the entrance is relatively low, and the valley itself is not small, there is no hole in the mountain wall from the entrance. The entrance to the cave was so small that only one person was allowed to lean in, and it was pitch black and looked a little scary. If outsiders take a look, I'm afraid most people will think that this is a cave fought by monsters and beasts.
When I entered the cave, it was dark in front of my eyes. There was a lampstand embedded in the wall of the cave, and Gu Boqing lit the oil lamps on the platform in turn, and the whole cave suddenly brightened up a lot. The cave is three feet high and circular, enough to hold hundreds of people. The cave is extremely empty, the ground is very flat, and in the center there is a stone platform, on which a sarcophagus is laid naked. Dugu Zhishui's eyes straightened, staring at the sarcophagus on the stone platform in shock and speechless. After a while, he asked, "Is this ...... It can't be your ancestor's coffin, right?"
I never thought that Gu Boqing would actually nodded, "Yes." ”
Dugu Zhishui felt a chill on his back, pointed to the sarcophagus and said, "Could it be ...... That album is in there?"
Gu Boqing nodded again, he was next to the sarcophagus at this time, nodding while reaching out and pushing the coffin board aside under Dugu Zhishui's shocked gaze.
"No!" Dugu stopped the water monster shouted, "Why don't you take out the album! It's very unfilial to disturb your ancestors all day long!"
Gu Boqing's movements in his hand stopped, and he wondered: "Is it also a mound of clothes?"
"Huh?" Dugu Zhishui's expression froze, and then his face darkened, "You can't finish talking at once? Dugu Zhishui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but then raised his head sharply and asked, "What's the situation?"
"It has been passed down from generation to generation that the ancestor went alone in his old age to find a mysterious place and never returned. Many years later, some clansmen proposed to erect a mound for their ancestors, but some clansmen felt that the whereabouts of their ancestors were unknown, and they should not bury him privately, which was unlucky. In the end, everyone reconciled their opinions, and they made such a coffin, and collected a few clothes of the ancestor and the picture album. And then, thousands of years have passed. ”
Dugu Zhishui walked to the side of the sarcophagus, the lid of the coffin had been opened, and it could be seen that there were several coarse cloth shirts neatly placed on one side of the coffin, and there was a large booklet on the other side, which took up half of the coffin's space. Just glanced at the booklet, Dugu Zhishui's face changed, the cover of the booklet actually used at least 10,000 years ago in ancient Chinese, and the words on the cover were not "Illustrated Women in the World", but "Illustrated Goddess".
Could it be that all the women included in this are goddesses? Dugu Zhishui was extremely puzzled in his heart, he learned in Anping in the past few years that although there have always been legends of immortals in this world, but I don't know how many people I have actually seen. In the historical books, the records of immortals and gods are even rarer, almost uncheckable. In other words, most of the immortal gods in the world today are passed on by word of mouth, and most of the content is hearsay. Moreover, although the ancestor of the Gu family can be seen to be a great cultivator, but judging from all kinds of signs, he is probably still far from becoming an immortal, how can a mortal find a full book of goddesses? And the age of the text on this cover is even more unreasonable, according to Gu Boqing, the era of the ancestor of the Gu family should be about a thousand years ago, and the ancient Chinese language has long been no longer used thousands of years ago, how did the ancestor of the Gu family learn this kind of writing? And why did he write in his album in ancient Chinese?
Gu Boqing didn't notice the abnormality of Dugu Zhishui, he carefully took out the album and spread it flat on the lid of the coffin, "Let's take a look." ”
