"This door can't be opened. Li Shi watched him come over, but he didn't care how he did it, when he got here, nothing mattered, whether he could leave with what he needed was the most important.

"I know, so I'm here. Shangguan Yi stretched out his hand to push the door, the stone door, the stone door that Li Shi couldn't push open with all his might, and couldn't find a way to push it open after racking his brains, so Shangguan Yi easily pushed open a gap.

As Shangguan Yi expected, when he put his hand on the door, it was as if a lock had been opened, and there was nothing to stop Shangguan Yi from opening the door. However, he did not open all the doors, only pushed open a gap, not wanting people outside to see the scene.

"Whew, thank you. Li Shi thanked Shangguan Yi with some excitement, and then entered the ruins, this is the long-cherished wish of the watchmen of the ancestors, and today it is finally going to be achieved, how can you not be excited?

Shangguan Yi looked at his impatient figure and sighed, how could it be so easy? Even the descendants of the Lord of the Heavenly City could not enter the treasure place he left behind so easily, not to mention that you are not, you are just a chess piece. The Lord of the Heavenly City is good at playing with people's hearts, and Shangguan Yi already knew this when he was in the cemetery, but he couldn't tell Master Li, let alone tell him. The arrangement of the Lord of the Heavenly City is really hateful, when Shangguan Yi unlocks the chess game and activates all the arrangements of the Lord of the Heavenly City, it is too late to change anything, all he can do is to promote all this, after all, this is what he wants.

"Huh. Shangguan Yi sneered, also entered the ruins, and closed the door, the two doors closed, the moment Shangguan Yi opened it was equivalent to adding a lock to the door, except for him with a metal box, no one could open it.

Whatever the case may be, don't let outsiders know.

"What, how can it be like this?" Li Shi couldn't help but call out, his voice full of shock and despair.

The inside of the ruins hall was empty, only a round altar, the altar was about three feet high, and the wall was surrounded by a relief painting, strange and simple but easy to understand, and there was a huge black metal plate in the shape of a hemispherical shell on the altar that covered the entire altar, and it was not clear what was inside.

There is a square groove on the ground in front of the staircase to the altar, and its size, Shangguan Yi visually is that strange metal box, is it used as the key to this altar?

"Huh?" Shangguan Yi walked up to him to look at the painting, the simple lines conveying some key clues: to open a box, and then put the box on the groove can...

“？”

When Shangguan Yi looked serious, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar by Li Shi, whose eyes were a little red.

Shangguan Yi kicked him away and scolded: "Old thief, what are you doing here? You are about to kill your mouth so soon to monopolize the treasure? ”

"What am I doing? Hahahahaha, what are you still asking me to do? Hahahaha..." Li Shi was kicked to the ground, laughing like crazy, his eyes were red, and there was nowhere to vent anger and sadness.

Is it his destiny to live for this and die for it?

After working hard for half a lifetime, calculating all his life, but unfortunately he has exhausted all the organs, what has he got? Making wedding dresses for others! The expectation of his ancestors for generations to turn over and become independent, and to live like a person with the dignity of a guide is gone, and after so many years of waiting, he still has to be a dog in the end, but he has to change his master.

Knowing this, why not offer treasures and move the clan to Miaojiang, ask for a shelter, it is better to survive there than now, what is the hope of the guide family, what prophecy, are all traps, all routines!

He hates, hates the insidious and vicious layout, and can still control the fate of the leader clan after so many years; he hates that Shangguan Yi is inconsistent, and he can easily get all the fruits of their clan's hard work for so many years, and he hates the injustice of the sky, and allows the thieves to bully them but is unmoved!

"The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes!" Master Li roared angrily, and even people outside the ruins could vaguely hear this sentence. Under the anger in his heart, Li Shi spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was weak.

Shangguan Yi looked at this scene, a little confused, this guy can't have misunderstood something, right? Shaking his head, Shangguan Yi continued to look at the relief painting: put the box on the groove to open the outer layer of metal plates, and then let another person come... Bloodletting? Finally, he gouged out his heart and put it in a groove under the metal plate, opened the second lock, and from then on he could get a book, and that person was admired by thousands of people, and even bowed to the ground.

Isn't the plot of this painting quite normal? How can this old thief be fat, he is crazy when he says he is crazy, and he doesn't give any face. Emmm, it doesn't seem to be normal, after all, it must be him who is going to die, that is to say, he has calculated for most of his life, and in the end, he not only can't get the "Lost Treasure Book", but also has to sacrifice his life for this thing that only exists in legends, and he has to hope that Shangguan Yi will return it to the guide family after they finish reading the "Lost Treasure Book".

Li Shi is a suspicious and sick person, from Shangguan Yi's point of view, he doesn't trust outsiders, from God's point of view, he doesn't trust many people, maybe because he is too busy with the affairs of the guide, he has his own occupational disease, no matter what it is, he has to ponder repeatedly to be sure. Therefore, to make him believe that he will send the Lost Book back to the guide clan, he can only say that unless the sun comes out of the west. However, it's one thing to believe it or not, it's another thing to have a choice, only the two of them can come in now, and only the two of them can walk to the ruins door. Taking a step back, those people are not as good as Shangguan Yi to Master Li, they don't have the bearing to do what they say, and a considerable number of them are villains who are open-minded.

The Lord of the Heavenly City meant to let such a person judge himself, and it was a very cruel way of self-judgment, so that others would bring things to his people, so that he would have to trust a person wholeheartedly at the end of his life. It's not just hard, it's cruel, and it's worthy of you, Lord of the Heavenly City.

"Huh. Shangguan Yi sighed, took out the metal box inside the package, and began to try to open it. The Lord of the Heavenly City will really make trouble for him, and if he is made difficult when he goes to deliver things afterwards, it will be even more troublesome, and it will be even more troublesome to think about it.

As for why it's more of a headache, of course, it's because it's already a headache to open this metal box, okay? He couldn't understand what it was at all, and if he wanted to solve it, except for the blind cat and the dead mouse, he could only look for clues in the ruins.

"This is a difficult problem for the guides, if you can trust me, let me solve it. Li Shi seemed to regain his composure and took the initiative to say to Shangguan Yi.

"Okay. Shangguan Yi didn't even think about it, so he handed it to him directly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will rob you of your things?" Li Shi was a little surprised by his simplicity, although he didn't know what it was, but he could still deduce its importance from the relief paintings.

"Don't be afraid, because you don't have a choice, and I can. Shangguan Yi said in a low voice.

"You already know something, don't you?" asked Li Shi as he took the box and began to answer the questions above.

"yes, you know. Shangguan Yi didn't deny it, and then turned to persuade: "Actually, you don't have to be too angry, you have lived for such a long time, it's enough, I will bring the "Lost Treasure Book" back to the guide family." I think you killed that person so decisively, you must have arranged a way back for the juniors, right? At that time, everything will still follow your original trajectory, but without you, it will be time for them to take charge on their own. You can't always take them with you, there is a limit to people's lifespan, even if you pass this catastrophe, there will be a next time, next time, I thought you were ready to dare to set foot on the road just now. ”

"I don't care what my fate is. As for the original trajectory, whether you don't understand it or I don't understand it. Master Li's hand paused, and said with a bleak wry smile.

"What do you mean, haven't you made arrangements for the future of the race?" Shangguan Yi's eyelids jumped, and he sat down cross-legged, ready to have a good talk with Li Shi, he felt that there seemed to be a little information deviation between the two.

"Do you know what happens to a group of people who are enslaved? Men in the group have to work hard to get a small amount of money, some unique resources are taken from us at a low price and sold at a high price, they have to swallow their anger and make compromises, girls in the group must not be too good-looking, and even boys must not be too handsome..." Li Shi said and spoke, his voice was a little choked, obviously he was wronged to the extreme, but no one had ever redressed him, he could only swallow his anger as he said, and did not confide in an unknown stranger until the end of his life.

Shangguan Yi lowered his eyes, of course he knew something, how could he not know? The dirty deeds of the family, he knew more from the memory of the original owner than this.

"Here, alright. Li Shi calmed down and returned the metal box that could be opened in his hand to Shangguan Yi, but he didn't open it, what was inside was as insignificant to him as a few leaves on a passing tree.

"Hmm. Shangguan Yi took the box, and the contents were actually nothing, a booklet, densely packed with fonts that he didn't recognize. In addition, there were three bottles made of metal that I don't know, and Shangguan Yi didn't open it and put the box on the groove.

"Titicaca. The mechanism twisted, and the metal plate slowly folded away, revealing the scene within: there was a boxy pit in the center of the three-foot altar, like a pool, but the difference was that the bottom of the pool was flat, but this one was sliding down at a forty-five degree angle, and finally gathered in the center, that is, the combination of an inverted regular quadrangular pyramid and a cuboid. There is also a knife by the pool, and there is a black hole next to the knife, which probably serves to throw the heart down, right?

Shangguan Yi was speechless for a while, has it still come to this point?

Li Shi was not afraid, he walked to the edge of the pool and picked up the knife, directly cut the artery of his left hand, and let the blood flow down the pool to the bottom, before continuing the topic he had just said: "I... The original plan was to let the ethnic group get out of such a fate, no matter what the cost, they had to stand up and stand up, so no matter what, they had to get the "Lost Book". However, when I entered here, I realized that my efforts and the efforts of my ancestors were so ridiculous, and in the end I still had to bow my head to others. ”

"This, aren't you going to succeed? Or is there no "Lost Treasure Book" here?" Shangguan Yi's thinking was a little chaotic, he had a faint premonition, but he couldn't grasp it, and he was a little irritable.

"Looks like there's a little bit of a gap between what you know and what I think you know. The last place of the relief painting, that means, if it is not for the people of their own tribe to return with the "Lost Treasure Book", then everyone should respect him, thank him, and serve him as the lord. Li Shi seems to understand something, it is he who thinks this kid is too hateful, he is not wrong, it is the arranger who is wrong.

"This, if I don't tell anyone else, what can a painting illustrate?" Shangguan Yi scratched his head, no wonder this old thief was so uncomposed, this was ten thousand times more serious than his life! He did such a thing with his life, this is also his dream, it was ruined like this, who can accept it?

"In fact, only you don't know about it. Li Shi changed places and continued to let blood, endured the pain and continued: "Why do you think we got so many things from that person? This is his bet with us, if the person who goes back with the "Lost Treasure Book" in the end is not a member of the guide clan, then the guide clan will serve him as the master. The stuff here is just for a reminder of what you use. ”

"Is that so?" Shangguan Yi muttered, he finally understood the reason why the Lord of the Heavenly City had arranged it this way, but how could he be sure that he would go this way?

"Actually, now that I think about it, it's still a pretty good idea to serve you as the master. You can't do such a disgusting thing, you won't exploit us too much, and more importantly, you have a bright future, and maybe there will be times when you stand in the sun and laugh. Li Shi half-jokingly said that he really had no choice but to accept the current situation. But as he said, compared with Zhongzhen Border Pass, Shangguan Yi may be very weak now, but he has great potential, once he gets up, then it is not comparable to a border commander, of course, the most important thing is that he will look at them as people, not animals.

"I have a lot of enemies, and they are very strong, and I still want to rebel, aren't you afraid that the guide clan will be strained?" Shangguan Yi said half-intimidatingly.

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely fulfill our promise, and since we lose the bet, we will definitely serve you as the lord. Li Shi shook his head, tore off a sleeve of his shirt, and dipped his finger in blood to write some words on it to explain the situation, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"How do I feel that you are relying on me?" Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly when it was his turn.

"That's right, it's up to you. I was just worried that there was no genius in the clan who could take charge of himself, but now that I have a talent like you, I can rest assured. Li Shi said a little scoundrel, he vaguely knew that Shangguan Yi was not such a ruthless person, if he could be moved to join the guide family, it might be more useful than a "Lost Treasure Book".

"You must know that I am not a person from the same road as you, all I can do is to do my best to help you better live in the East China Sea, that's all, and you may not be able to help me, and I don't want to cause you to exterminate the race. "Shangguan Yi has a weak showdown with him, and somehow someone relies on him, obviously he is very innocent, okay?

"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want. Li Shi slashed his body again, he lost too much blood and couldn't hold it anymore, and now he was gritting his teeth and resisting.

"Eh, I shouldn't have been in the water. Shangguan Yi lamented, where does he have the ability to take care of so many people? At most, it is already difficult to take care of himself and Hua Xiangrong, plus so many enemies, not to mention the large-scale ridicule that comes with his true identity, there are many people who have been offended by Qian Taiduo's identity alone, not to mention that he still has his own things to do, how can he be a nanny for them?

After the two chatted intriguingly for a while, Li Shi really couldn't hold on.

"Answer, promise me, when you can, pull me... Let's give it a hand, okay? We will repay you. Li Shi finally struggled to say this, and did not force Shangguan Yi to agree to be their master, but only begged him to help. People have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, and those who want to come to the layout didn't expect that there would be problems here, right?

"Good. Shangguan Yi solemnly agreed to him, no matter what, he helped him open the metal box, and what he did with him also made Shangguan Yi feel pity, so what did it matter if he helped him?

With Shangguan Yi's agreement, Li Shi's eyes were a little more relaxed, relieved and joyful, he wanted to thank him, but his lips only moved slightly, and he didn't have the strength to speak.

"Do you have any last wishes or people you can't let go?" Shangguan Yi asked seriously, people are about to die, whether they are pitiful or hateful, they all make people feel pathetic, lamentable, a lifetime of ups and downs, and in the end, they only ended up in this end.

Li Shi shook his head slightly, which was the final reply, and his eyes completely lost their brilliance.

He died, and the old man's life came to an end, and he died here—in the remains of what looked like a tomb.

Shangguan Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the knife in his hand, dug out his heart and threw it into the hole, this is the end of Li Shi, a lifetime of intrigue has not been able to break through the layout of others, like a puppet from the debut to the curtain call. What about Shangguan Yi, will he be worse than him?

After a while, the wall of the pool in the center of the altar closed little by little, swallowing up the original pool, leaving only a bottomless hole the size of a metal box, and then with a strange sound, Shangguan Yi saw a small stone pillar pushing out the glass cover on it, and there was a faint blood mark on it, which was Li Shi's blood. Under the glass cover is a book, "The Book of Lost".

For Shangguan Yi, it was effortless, but for Li Shi, it paid the price of his life.

Shangguan Yi took out the book, put it in his package, picked up the box on the ground, put it in as well, and then rummaged through Master Li's body and brought some of his belongings with him, such a person is qualified to be remembered by his descendants, and even more qualified to be enshrined in the ancestral hall to enjoy the admiration of future generations.

Shangguan Yi exhaled lightly, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he opened the door and walked out.

The people outside the door watched the two people go in, and after waiting for a long time, they saw Shangguan Yi come out, and their hearts were relieved, but they closed the door after seeing Shangguan Yi come out, and it seemed that there would be no second person coming out.

What about Master Li?

Except for Shangguan Yi, everyone else was a little confused.

Shangguan Yi walked back to Hua Xiangrong and said, "Look, I'm back safe and sound." ”

"What about Master Li, you killed him?" Hua Xiangrong asked him in a low voice, he did this kind of thing.

"It wasn't me who killed him, but this ruin, I persuaded him, but it was not easy, he died a miserable death, I was afraid, so I withdrew. We got nothing. Shangguan Yi briefly talked about the situation, and the tiredness and laziness in his expression could not deceive people.

"It's good that you're okay, treasure hunting doesn't always pay off, but every time there will be risks, let's go. An Yirou persuaded him that he was about to leave, and the delay was too long.

Other people have no opinion, even if they are hired by Master Li, no one asks them for compensation when Master Li is dead, they don't do anything and have a large amount of remuneration, such good things are stealing fun, who cares about the main master?

"An Yirou. Shangguan Yi called An Yirou's name for the first time, and he used to call Miss An honorifically.

"Huh?" An Yirou looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Can you take me to Master Li's village?" He told me the approximate location, and I wanted to return some of his things. Shangguan Yi's sad and heavy look told An Yirou that he was really in a bad mood now and needed her help.

"Okay, let's go. An Yirou didn't refuse, for her, it's okay to pay labor first, anyway, the compensation that should be given can't run away.

Shangguan Yi and Hua wanted to follow her, but the people behind wanted to follow, but they were stopped by An Yirou.

"Wait here, don't come with me, or you'll die." An Yirou's cold words came from the front, shocking them. Now only An Yirou can lead the way, she is her father, no matter what she says, they have to obey.

"What the hell is going on inside?" Hua Xiangrong didn't believe what Shangguan Yi said before, it was definitely to fool those irrelevant people, she wanted to know the truth.

"It's nothing, it's just that there was an accident, Master Li died, in order to get the "Lost Treasure Book". Shangguan Yi shook his head, he didn't intend to say it, the less people knew about this matter, the better.

"I also want to know, if you don't say it, let's go back. An Yirou helped Hua Xiangrong speak, what kind of change can make a guy with thicker skin than the city wall look like this?

In desperation, Shangguan Yi had no choice but to tell what happened, but he skipped most of the words between him and Master Li, and finally took out the "Lost Treasure Book" to An Yirou, saying: "This is Master Li's reward, you can read it first." ”

An Yirou didn't shirk, took it over and flipped it over, and then carefully looked at a few chapters and handed it to Hua Xiangrong. Hua Xiangrong was about the same as her, flipped through it casually, and handed it to Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi: ???
