I scratched my head in embarrassment, smiled, and said, "Oh, there are too many questions. I don't even know which ones to ask. Besides, I don't think you guys have any intention of having an in-depth discussion with me about this."
Monk Shangguan Yun glanced at me and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "You are the luckiest of your family. Once you reach the third Tingtian'er, you will understand how much your family has sacrificed for that thing in the underground river. Alas , but this is a bit like God’s curse. The longer you live, the greater the suffering you will suffer.”
He looked forward, at the yellow sand flowing underground, and said: "The first Tingtian'er is about one hundred and thirty miles away from the second Tingtian'er. This second Tingtian'er The third one is actually only seventy miles away. With our foot strength, we can reach it in three or four hours. When we get to the third Tingtian'er, I will take you to a place and tell you why someone in your family is sleeping. A thousand years."
This is indeed what Shangguan Yun monk said. We walked through the yellow sand for a while, and soon we saw the boundless sea of sand, and the sand under our feet was softer. When encountering sand dunes with relatively steep slopes, it is easy to slip.
Logically speaking, there is an underground river under Lop Nur. This area is actually a good place with abundant water resources, but it has turned into a weird sand grave. If I go by my guess, there must be an underground river in Lop Nur. Many elders, such as the savage Zhuge Weng in Shennongjia, live in the Feng Shui bureau they designed. They can not only enjoy the benefits of Feng Shui, but also act like a trap to trap outsiders who intrude.
However, I thought about the elder Zhuge Weng. Logically speaking, Zhuge Weng is the eldest, and my grandfather can only be ranked fourth. However, the reason why they have a serious chronology is probably related to this thousand-year slumber, so There is no way to explain their actual ages clearly. If we are simply entangled in these things, we should understand why they have to go to this thousand-year slumber appointment!
Seeing Dahuang leading the way, I had nothing to do. Seeing that Rena was not asleep, I asked her, "Hey Rena, when did Dahuang follow you? Looking at his physique, it doesn't look like he followed you." It seems impossible that someone can learn to speak human language in ten years or twenty years."
Rena nodded in agreement, and said: "I can't tell you exactly how old Dahuang is. My grandfather never told me, or even he may not know, but your grandfather gave it to my grandfather. By that time, it was already so big.”
I looked at Zhu Sha in slight surprise. Zhu Sha was not surprised at all. She said: "This rhubarb must be at least five hundred years old. Its bloodline must have been improved. In the ancient Stone Age, We believe in hunting very much, and dogs are undoubtedly the best hunting assistants. What’s more, your family is a family of Kanyu and pharmacology. It must have been training spirit dogs since then. As for the five spirit animals, I think this is a folk Rumor has it that these dogs, cows, and chickens are domestic animals. If there is no one to teach them various things, and if they do not have a long life, it will be difficult for them to become the legendary five-spirit animals. To a certain extent, if your guess is correct, there is also the Yuan Gu worm of the Golden Crow Immortal in the body of Dahuang."
Cinnabar has a deep family background, so much so that her wisdom is ignored. In fact, her mind is more advanced, because her knowledge reserve is more extensive, and the reasoning answers she gives are often straight to the point. .
The distance between us and Rhubarb was not very far. With its ears, it must have heard our conversation, but it did not look back and just walked forward silently, making it more and more mysterious. Jiuhe Bookstore
"Brother." Zhu Sha's curiosity was also aroused. She asked Shangguan Yun Seng, "Do you know how old this Dahuang is?"
Shangguan Yun monk did not look at Zhusha, but shook his head lightly, glanced at Dahuang's back, then continued to look at the vast yellow sand in front, and said: "Dahuang has a very calm mind. He is an old man. You all made a mistake. Wrong, I thought it was just a dog, and I didn’t think too much about it. In fact, along the way, Rhubarb relied on its sharp nose to keep marking the location of the blue-blooded man for me. But, did any of you notice anything wrong? , at first glance, this Dahuang was taught by the old fox who buried his grandfather."
"Although our Qilin tribe and Yunwen Temple are in a marriage relationship, in terms of family inheritance, there are also differences between husband and wife. For example, the buried parents, Guo Jinxuan and Shangguan Donglai, also died when they were your age. After a thousand-year appointment, you will get married and formally perform the couple's ceremony. However, before getting married, you will be separated for ten years to accept the family inheritance. At least this is the case for our Qilin tribe, but Guo Mian The way to accept the inheritance is much simpler."
"What!!!" I stopped for a moment and looked at Shangguan Yunseng and Zhu Sha blankly, "Are Zhu Sha and I going to be separated for ten years?"
As soon as I said this, Zhu Sha also quickly looked at Shangguan Yun Seng, waiting for a reply. Shangguan Yun Seng looked at the two of us very melancholy, and nodded as expected, "Yes, the inheritance of the Qilin Clan is quite special. Ten years is a short time. If you fail the first time, you will probably have to go into seclusion for another ten years. But why are you so surprised? Compared to this, it is much better than sleeping for a thousand years. Besides, this is something you will have to face sooner or later. .”
At the end of the sentence, she looked at Zhusha. Zhusha pouted her little mouth, with tears of reluctance in her eyes. She threw herself into my arms, "I don't want it! Ten years has been too long, I just just At the age of eighteen, he will be locked up, and I will wait a few years before passing on the news.”
I staggered back, stabilized my body, looked at Shangguan Yun monk in surprise, and said: "Brother, isn't Cinnabar already powerful enough now, why should we pass it on? Could it be that I haven't seen him again in the past ten years? Can’t you get enough cinnabar?”
Shangguan Yun monk snorted coldly and said: "Your Yunwen Temple has Kanyu Shushu, doesn't our Qilin family have our own unique inheritance?" He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "You can still meet each other, every year In the twelfth lunar month of the lunar month, Zhu Sha will take a month off, so you can come to the mountain to accompany her. You can use these ten years to investigate the matter of the Bridge of Time and Space as soon as possible."
"The power of cinnabar you see now comes from the genetic modification of the body by Qilin Gu insects. The real Qilin tribe has not learned much yet. Our Xiujia Tianzu was a figure of the same period as Pangu. Our Xiujia Tianzu Zu was the God of War at that time, and Senior Pangu was no match, but our two families complement each other, and we are the best in close combat, but your family's skills are even better in long-range combat, and you will understand in the future."
"Okay, let's continue on our way."
