Chapter 370: The Disappearing Shou Yuan
The lame old man let out a long sigh.
A look of sadness appeared on his face:
"Spiritual envoy, this has to be told from seventy-five years ago. ”
"According to the historical records of the town, we don't know exactly what year this town was built, but our people moved here from 10,000 years ago, and the first generation of ancestors left their last words, our longevity town, every fifteen years, will appear in the world, and there will be spiritual envoys to come. ”
The lame old man spread out his palms.
There is also a small pink flower in his palm:
"And the way to verify the identity of the spirit envoy is that our right palm will bloom with a peaceful flower. But we are only responsible for bringing the messengers into the town, and we don't know what the messengers are doing when they come into the town. ”
The lame old man seemed to remember some bad memories.
The body faintly snorted:
"Seventy-five years ago, my father and uncle waited outside the town for a day and a night, but they didn't see the messenger coming, and we didn't take it seriously at first. But then ........."
The lame old man's lips trembled:
"Later, something strange happened in the town, although our clansmen in Longevity Town, although they did not cultivate, but each person's lifespan was at least five hundred years, but our clan elder had just lived to be two hundred years old, and suddenly overnight, he came to the end of his lifespan, and his companion tree was broken from the roots, at first we thought he was sick, but when we checked the rings of his companion tree, we found it. ”
The lame old man paused.
Eyes narrowed slightly:
"Only to find out that the dead elder companion tree was nine hundred and seventy-two years old, that is to say, he suddenly crossed more than seven hundred years overnight!!"
"Our patriarch urgently summoned everyone and searched the town with all our might, trying to find out the clues, but seventy-five years have passed, and our clansmen have died three times in a row, but the reason has still not been found,"
The lame old man said bitterly:
"What's even more strange is that after this, there have been no newborns in our Longevity Town, and the few of us old guys who stay here today were all born seventy-five years ago, and I was only three years old when the incident happened. ”
Fu Shiyi understood.
She frowned and said, "So, old man, do you think that the reason why your people died mysteriously one after another is because there is no spirit messenger coming?"
The lame old man nodded: "We don't know exactly what the reason is, but all the changes are caused by the absence of the spirit envoy. ”
Fu Shiyi couldn't help but have a little headache, she thought for a while and said, "What did the previous spirit envoys do after they came to your town? Or where did they all go?"
The lame old man shook his head.
The old people in the courtyard also shook their heads.
Fu Shiyi asked several more questions, but these old men almost all shook their heads, she couldn't get any clues, she thought for a while and said:
"Can you lend me some of the classics and historical records of your clan?"
"No way!"
Several old men spoke in unison and categorically vetoed. After speaking, he was afraid that Fu Shiyi would misunderstand, so he explained nonsense: "There are rules in our clan, and the classics and historical records in the clan cannot be borrowed by non-clansmen, it's not that we don't want to show you, Lord Ling." ”
Fu Shiyi looked at the lame old man who didn't squeak.
In town.
It seems that he has the final say.
The lame old man's face flashed with a look of struggle, and finally stomped on the crutches in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, Lord Spirit Envoy, if you want to see, then I will take you there." ”
"Big Brother !!!"
The rest of the old men stood up suddenly.
Form a circle and block the exit.
The lame old man smiled helplessly and said: "Hey, now there are only seven of us left in the town, and the night of the full moon is about to come, and when the time comes, none of us present will survive that night, and when the time comes, even if we keep the library, what is the use!!?"
That's it.
The lame old man walked out with his crutches.
He didn't walk slowly, and the old people who were originally in front of him flashed with struggles on their faces, but after one last glance, they still let go.
That's right, too.
Lives are gone.
What's the use of keeping those books?
Fu Shiyi followed behind the lame old man, and saw that the old man was not overwhelmed, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, in fact, if it was calculated according to the lifespan of their longevity town, they were just adults.
Out of the yard.
After walking a few steps.
Fu Shiyi turned around again and found that the yard had turned into a small sapling again, she carefully identified it, but she couldn't recognize which one of the saplings on the ground was the lame old man.
This piece of plains.
It seems that there is no end in sight.
Because he couldn't use his spiritual power, Fu Shiyi couldn't fly if he wanted to fly, so he could only follow the lame old man step by step, but fortunately, they only walked northeast for more than half an hour before stopping.
Fu Shiyi glanced around.
No anomalies were noted.
The lame old man threw the crutches in his hand into the air.
There are words in the mouth.
Suddenly, the crutches suspended in the air slowly became smaller, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into the shape of a key, the lame old man shouted, Fu Shiyi heard a "click", the sound of the key twisting, and when he looked closely, he found that a three-story wooden attic appeared in front of him.
Three characters are written on the door of the attic.
However.
This font, Fu Shiyi saw it for the first time, but he couldn't recognize what it meant.
"Spiritual envoy, please come inside. ”
The moment it appeared in the wooden attic.
The lame old man's broken leg suddenly grew again, Fu Shiyi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, but the lame old man explained with a smile:
"This is the power of the ancestors, and the broken legs that are connected are only temporary, and as soon as the attic is collected, these borrowed legs will have to be returned. ”
The wooden loft has a total of three floors.
There are dozens of rooms on each floor.
The lame old man pointed to the three rooms on the left side of the first floor and said: "Lord Spirit Envoy, I can only open these three rooms, the books in them, you can read them as you like, however, there are still three days before the full moon night, I hope that before that, you can find a solution, otherwise our people in Longevity Town will really die." ”
"Spirit, please !!"
The lame old man bowed deeply to Fu Shiyi.
Fu Shiyi suddenly felt very stressed.
She couldn't make any promises at this time, so she could only nod solemnly, turn around and walk to the first room, push open the door, and wait to see the scene in front of her.
Fu Shiyi was stunned.
She also thought that this was the same as the scripture pavilion of their Fu clan.
They were arranged on the shelves one by one, but there was only one tree in the first room, and the trees were densely packed with branches and leafy leaves.
She blinked.
Puzzled, where is this book hidden?
