The second grandfather handed the torch to the knife handle, took out the letters from his backpack, sat on the table and stool in the pavilion, and looked through the map carefully.
I looked around, and there was darkness that couldn't be illuminated by torches. When I dropped an empty can, I could hear a clear thud, and then the water started churning. It was hard to imagine what kind of strange thing was in the black water under my feet. Something, I'm afraid this is also the reason why the water surface is raised to build the bridge.
The knife handler sat aside to bandage his wounds. I admire his acting skills very much. This guy has been around for a long time and can hide his humanity very deeply. He will not tell the truth until the critical moment.
I saw him tearing up his own clothes to bandage himself, and I couldn't bear to see it. Originally, I was wearing two military coats, and I could give him one, so I took it off, put it on his back, and patted him. shoulder, and said: "You really should have said it earlier, you can't be an unknown hero for me."
The knife handle laughed with emotion, shook his head and said, "Oh, thank you, Mr. Guo. The reason I don't want to talk about it is that there is only one reason, that is... I especially like to call you... bean sprouts."
When he said this, I also felt inexplicably disgusting, and we looked at each other and laughed.
The moment I was laughing, I actually saw a green light from the opposite side of the arch bridge. I immediately choked back and stopped laughing.
Seeing something strange about me, Dao Jiazi also looked across the bridge, hissed, and said: "Here... why are there so many fireflies? Where there are fireflies, there are probably those white-faced monsters!"
Having said this, he immediately stood up and his face became tense.
I still told him that it was not a firefly, but a sacred lampworm. At this time, the second grandfather closed the note, stood up, and said: "There will be no white-faced monkey tyrant over there. The white-faced monkey tyrant is Yu Gusu The clan members took the elixir of longevity and mutated it, and they still retain considerable wisdom. They know that this black water river is very dangerous, so they will not come in. There are many cracks in the rock wall on the side of the plank road when they come. , they are very likely to ambush us at the other end of the Snake Tomb, but the space over there is very large. I have never seen how big it is specifically, but according to your grandfather, it is definitely not the earth there anymore. It is difficult to say, then Where is the place?"
I frowned and asked, "Is all of this inseparable from the Tianshi?"
The second grandfather nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. Our ancient ancestors used the huge power of the Sky Stone to create life in that space. But in the future, when the Sky Stone grows, it will swallow up the entire earth. The Sky Stone has been sealed by our ancestors. When we reach a place, our ancestors need enough manpower to make calculations and send the Heavenly Stone back to the universe. They may be able to complete this task... You also know that during the Jin Dynasty, most of the thirty-six tomb robbers have not yet met their ancestors. , we turned back without success on the way there, and now the only ones we can rely on are the Wu Mian Sect and the Faqiu Sect."
I didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. I was stunned for a while and then said: "Second Grandpa, why don't we enter the Devil's Valley from our hometown instead of going in from here with all the effort? How much time is wasted."
Second Grandpa gave a bitter smile, snorted, and said, "Silly boy, isn't this just to stop Su Daji? Her purpose is different from ours."
Suddenly I returned to the question I asked earlier, and my heart began to beat faster. Now that the knife handle was no longer an outsider, I continued to ask the question, "Second Grandpa, what is Su Daji's purpose?" What?"
The second grandfather sighed and lamented: "What purpose... Su Daji is an extremely ambitious person. When she developed the elixir at the end of the Shang Dynasty, her vision was no longer on the earth. She knew that the sky stone After what happened, she even went into the depths of the Demon Valley at all costs and met her ancient ancestors. She inherited the knowledge of the Queen Mother of the West and wanted to use the sky stone to enter another planet suitable for human habitation. She asked her ancestors to listen to her. , but the ancestors said that the sky stone was still in its infancy and very unstable, so he rejected her."
"Su Daji failed to achieve her goal and could not have enough power to compete with her ancestors, so she developed many monsters, such as the white-faced monkey tyrant we just saw and the four-legged monster fish before. She did not hesitate to Many methods were used to pollute the water source of Mogou but all ended in failure. The ultimate reason is that the place where our ancestors lived is no longer the earth, and the source of all materials is unclear..."
"So Su Daji chose to sleep forever and wait for a thousand years before completing her goal. This time Wang Pailong got into trouble and woke her up early. In the few years since she woke up, the whole world has changed. We are almost reaching the end of an era. The world has launched a war. Many geomantic treasures have become strange. The global climate has changed for the worse. The edge of doomsday is getting closer. Before the next era begins, those of us who are capable must... What we do is 'save'."
After I heard this, I sat down on the wooden bench. I never imagined that this matter would rise to such a high level. It seems that the grandfathers meant to divide the army into two groups. He and Faqiu pointed out first. Go see the ancestors, tell them to be on guard, then arrange for me to enter the Wang family, and then come here all the way. I am in the open, the second grandfather is mainly responsible for picking me up, and the third grandfather is waiting in the dark to stop all the forces that are coming?
So according to my understanding, is it Su Daji who pulls the strings outside and gathers many forces into Mogou? When I think of this, I get a shiver down my spine. Only she would do this.
But I don’t understand how a young boy like me, who is just 17 years old, can play such a large-scale matter. Could it be that I have mastered the art of mathematics?
I still asked the question, "Second Grandpa, I don't seem to be of much value to this whole thing...and if you arrange for me to join, wouldn't it be like adding another burden? Why do you do this?"
Dao Baozi listened for a long time. Although he was confused, he knew that bringing me with him was indeed a burden. He also said: "Yes... Old man, in fact, no matter what the matter is, let such a young Guo Zan join in. Doesn’t it mean it’s harming him? And it won’t do any good to the development of things.”
The second grandfather raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully and said nothing. He just took out a water bag, squeezed out a few drops of water, put it on his hands, and wrote a few words on the wooden table covered with dust: The third eye.
What is the third eye?
Before I could think about it carefully, there was an explosion on the wooden pavilion above our heads. At the same time, the spire connecting the top of the wooden pavilion was blown off. The pavilion was torn into pieces and fell into the Blackwater River. The top of the pavilion The waterproof and corroded Thunder Pillar was also blown apart, falling down and overturning the wooden table.
My second grandfather, Dao Huazi and I were so frightened that we ran towards the arch bridge with our heads in our hands. When we turned around, there were only four pillars left in the wooden pavilion!
Looking up again, a woman in black leather clothes was hanging on a rope, looking at us indifferently.
There were also more than a dozen masked men in black hanging on both sides of her, all armed with guns and grenades from the battlefields of World War II, and they were covered with clothes!
Second Grandpa shouted loudly: "It's Su Daji! Go quickly! Enter the Snake Tomb!"
