Chapter 40: The Tower of Babel

At the critical moment, Lao Qi paused.

He picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea water leisurely. The more anxious Ah Gou was, the more proud Lao Qi became.

"Uncle Qi, I beg you. Tell me quickly. Ah Gou begged.

"You kid, can't you be a little more patient?Do you think I'm deliberately making fun of you?" Lao Qi put down the tea bowl, glared at Ah Gou, and said with a straight face, "I'm telling you a truth." The moment is often lonely before it arrives. The more wonderful things are, the more lonely the previous wait is. If you can't stand the loneliness, you can't wait for the excitement. ”

Ah Gou is a smart person, and he quickly realized that Lao Qi's words were indeed very reasonable. He nodded and said, "Uncle Qi, I remember your words." ”

Seeing Ah Gou's pious appearance, Lao Qi was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "The son can be taught." Where did I say just now?"

The white tiger pounced on Niu Er. Ah Dog said.

"Oh, yes. The white tiger pounced on Niu Er. Do you know that the white tiger has not eaten food for three days and three nights, and when it sees Niu Er, it has already regarded Niu Er as its delicacy. How could he let Niu Er go. ”

For Lao Qi's words, Ah Gou was a little puzzled, how did Lao Qi know that the white tiger had not eaten food for three days and three nights? Although Ah Gou was suspicious, he did not ask Lao Qi. He was afraid that if he diverted Lao Qi's words, he was afraid that Lao Qi would gossip for a while.

"It's too late, it's too soon. Just before the white tiger pounced on Niu Er, and the white tiger's teeth were only a hair's distance from Niu Er, the white tiger suddenly froze. Do you know what it means to stay still?" Lao Qi asked.

"It's like in the winter, the water freezes. Ah Dog said.

Lao Qi nodded and said, "Although your analogy is inappropriate, it is roughly the same thing." Niu Er thought that he must not be able to live, but before he died, he closed his eyes. After a while, the tiger did not eat him. He opened his eyes again and saw that the white tiger had turned into a stone. ”

Niu Er was very surprised. He thought he was dreaming, so Niu Er made a cut on himself with a scythe on the ground, and soon he saw the blood flowing out, and Niu Er also felt pain. Niu Er knew that he wasn't dreaming. But why is this happening?"

Just when Niu Er was puzzled, he saw a person coming down from the clouds, dressed in white, holding floating dust in his hand, and the person slowly landed on the spire of the 'Tower of Babel', looking at Niu Er with a smile. Although Niu Er is illiterate, he is not stupid. Immediately, Niu Er felt that this person was an immortal. Niu Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Niu Er didn't know how many kowtows, and when he raised his head, he saw that the fairy was standing in front of him. ”

"Is that person really a god?" asked Ah Gou.

"Of course it's a fairy?" Lao Qi was very unhappy about Ah Gou's question, he glanced at Ah Gou, and said coldly, "If it's not a fairy, who can fall from the sky?"

Ah Gou nodded and said, "Uncle Qi, I know." ”

The fairy told Niu Er that he helped Niu Er because Niu Er was a filial son. Lao Qi said, "Before the fairy left, he gave Ah Dog a thousand-year-old spirit grass. Niu Er used the spiritual grass given to him by the gods to heal his mother's legs. ”

"Soon, the fact that there are gods in the Tower of Babel was known. Gradually, some people who wanted to see the gods and pray for the gods to bring them blessings gathered in Kunlun Mountain. It's just that since Niu Er saw the immortals, no one has been able to see the immortals anymore. ”

Lao Qi was a little disappointed in his words, it seemed that he had also looked for immortals, but it was just a disappointment.

In disappointment, the two ended the conversation.

Through this conversation, what Ah Gou gained was to know that the "Tower of Babel" was in Kunlunxi, and Kunlunxi was an extremely dangerous place.

Early the next morning, Ah Gou set off to climb the mountain.

Before leaving, Ah Gou thought for a long time, and in the end, he decided not to tell Lao Qi. Ah Gou knew that if he told Lao Qi, Lao Qi would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, and Lao Qi would definitely prevent Ah Gou from going to Kunlun.

Ah Gou thought he had gotten up early enough, but on the way he still met a lot of outsiders, all of whom were ragged and haggard, and looked like beggars.

It's just that these beggars have a light in their eyes, a ray of hope. They are pinning their changes to the future on the gods.

Because there are more people to go, he stepped out of a road, along the winding path, a dog walked for more than two hours, seeing that it was noon, a dog felt hungry, he sat on a big stone on the side of the road, took out steamed buns, was eating steamed buns, suddenly looked up, a dog saw a faint spire in a mountain peak on the side, a dog felt that the tower might be "Babel Tower".

As soon as he thought that he was about to arrive at the "Tower of Babel", Ah Gou's body came to strength, and he didn't feel tired, so he ate a steamed bun and continued to hurry.

As the old saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and this is not true at all. Although Ah Gou saw the "Tower of Babel" early, he walked for a full afternoon, and seeing that it was getting late, Ah Gou had not yet reached the "Tower of Babel".

Ah Gou just probed and hurried, not paying attention to the surrounding situation. Watching the sun crumble, Ah Gou felt that he should rest for the night, and only noticed the surroundings when he continued to hurry early tomorrow morning.

Before he knew it, he had entered a strange world.

It's not that the surroundings are so weird. In a modern way, Dog has moved from a world of color to a world of black and white. The flowers and trees he saw were all black and white, including his own clothes. Ah Dog was originally wearing a sky blue robe, but now it has also turned black.

Ah Dog was surprised, but didn't pay too much attention to it. From Lao Qi, Ah Gou already knew the strangeness of Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, for the current situation, Ah Gou has been mentally prepared.

On the contrary, if he didn't encounter anything strange when he climbed Kunlun Mountain, he would be surprised.

Dog chose a place that was relatively flat for me, he found some hay and spread it on the ground, and then he took off his robe and spread it on the hay. After a day's walking, his feet were already very painful, and after lying down, Ah Gou felt unexpectedly comfortable.

After a sweet sleep, I woke up the next day, and the sun was already high. Ah Gou hurriedly put on his clothes and walked in the direction of the "Tower of Babel". This way, it was very smooth, and I didn't encounter demons and monsters halfway, nor did I encounter giant tigers.

At noon, Ah Gou came to the "Tower of Babel".

When Ah Dog stared at the "Tower of Babel" in front of him, he had a feeling of being deceived. The pagoda that can reach the sky in legend is actually a broken pagoda that is covered with wild grass, covered with moss, and is in tatters. Since no one has been here for a long time, the footsteps are full of all kinds of birds. Guano is also everywhere, and the dog still smells of guano when he stands three feet away from the "Tower of Babel".

It's a great disappointment, but since you're here, you can't just go back.

Ah Gou circled around the "Tower of Babel", and he was only in the southwest direction of the "Tower of Babel", and he saw a huge incense burner, and there were incense candles in the incense burner that had not been burned.

It seems that some good men and women in the vicinity regard the "Tower of Babel" as a treasure place for psychics.

"That's it, dig up, boss. ”

Ah Dog heard a deep voice coming from the woods, he subconsciously hid behind the incense burner, poked his head out slightly, and looked out.

Immediately, two people came, both of whom looked like five big and three thick. The difference between the two is that one has only one eye and the other has only one ear. The man with only one eye carries a shovel, while the other holds a bag in his hand.

The two of them first looked around secretly, Ah Dog Su Ri'an didn't know them, but based on their behavior, Ah Gou could be sure that these two people were definitely not good people. Because these two people reminded Ah Dog of kidnapping his big buckteeth and triangular eyes. These two people, and those two people, look like goods all the way.

In order not to let the two of them find out, Ah Gou shrank back and completely hid himself behind the incense burner.

"Boss, no one, can we do it?"

"No, I can't. The man known as the boss said, "This is our last chance, and if we miss again, the old black will definitely not give us time." Therefore, in this operation, we only need to succeed, not fail. ”

"Boss, don't worry. When we came, I looked for Zhang Mazi and calculated, a few days are our auspicious days, and we will definitely be able to succeed immediately. ”

"Smack!!"

The dog heard a crisp slap in the face, and then he heard another person's wail of pain.

"Boss, why are you hitting me?" said the man, aggrieved.

"Did you tell Zhang Mazi about our actions?" the boss asked.

"No, I didn't tell anyone. ”

"You asked Zhang Mazi to tell a hexagram, what did you say?"

"I said that I was going out to do something big, I asked Zhang Mazi if he could make a fortune, Zhang Mazi pinched his fingers and calculated, saying that he could make a fortune. ”

"I'm telling you, if only a third person knew about it. See that I don't peel your skin. The boss said fiercely.

couldn't help it, Ah Gou quietly poked his head out again, he saw that the man with the bag in his hand was rubbing his head, Ah Gou knew that he was the one who was beaten. And the other one of them, needless to say, is the boss.

The boss put down the shovel, looked at the sky, and said, "It's still early." You get some sleep first. When it gets dark, I'll call you. ”

After the other man lay down, he quickly began to snore. The "boss" never slept, and Ah Gou didn't dare to move, so he hid behind the incense burner and waited for it to get dark.
