When Mr. Li woke up again, he was already thousands of miles away in the Chen family compound.
Chen Ze told him what happened next.
What grandpa gave Chu Yuxuan was the secretion of the female beast.
With it, Chen Ze and the others were able to avoid the attacks of those monsters.
Otherwise, at that time, even if they escaped the siege of Huo Qingshan and the Japanese, they would not be able to escape the massacre of the monsters.
Speaking of which, although these monsters are ferocious, their living habits are a bit like ants, and they even have a certain social division of labor.
The ones on the outside are responsible for hunting and guarding, while the monster groups inside the pyramid are responsible for guarding the mother beasts and larvae.
The mother beast maintains the operation of the entire monster society like a queen.
After the female beast was seriously injured and half dead, the rest of the monsters seemed to be in chaos.
And they all seemed to be affected by the mysterious sound waves underground, and were even very afraid of it.
Afterwards, following the marks left by his grandfather, Chen Ze and the others retreated along the way they came, until they walked out of the valley and left the Kunlun Mountains and the vast Gobi.
It was lucky to say that we didn't encounter any danger on the way out.
From that day on, everyone was waiting.
They believe that grandpa will definitely come back.
But this wait lasted for half a year.
Just when everyone thought grandpa would never come back, he suddenly appeared on the streets of the ancient city.
His hair was messy, his clothes were in pieces, he was dirty and smelly, and he was going crazy.
The two eyes were tightly closed and covered with blood scabs, as if they were blind, and blood and tears flowed from them from time to time.
When Chen Ze found him, it took him a long time to recognize him.
That's grandpa.
Mr. Li wanted to ask his grandfather more than once what happened, but he didn't say a word.
Not even communicating with anyone.
Just sitting in the yard in a daze.
There were some strange sounds coming from his mouth, which were vague and indistinct, and no one knew what he was talking about.
Until one day, while he was sleeping, two words came out of his mouth vaguely.
Forbidden ruins.
Mr. Li read through all the ancient books and clues he could find.
But found nothing.
The news of grandpa's madness finally got out.
Those people who had been ready to take action because grandpa disappeared for half a year finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
The Chen family, which had just emerged from the cracks, suffered unprecedented suppression.
Mr. Li looked at the completely changed grandfather and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Better to be crazy than dead.
It's good to be alive.
I thought everything would be over just like that, but what happened next was completely beyond Mr. Li's knowledge and understanding.
One day a month later, my grandfather, who was in a daze a second ago, suddenly opened his eyes.
He is awake.
After Grandpa woke up, his eyes turned slightly golden.
The whole person seemed to have changed.
Then he did four things that shocked and puzzled everyone.
The first thing is to unify the spiritual alliance.
After waking up, Grandpa changed his previous gentle methods and gathered all the power that the Chen family could use.
The fighting lasted for more than a month, resulting in countless casualties. Even the bluestone on the ground was stained red with blood.
The second thing is to move the grave.
After the unified spirit alliance, grandpa moved the Chen family's ancestral tomb. After moving the grave, grandpa locked himself in the ancestral tomb for several months.
No one knew what he was doing.
The third thing is to build the Chen family ancestral hall.
Having said this, Mr. Li took a deep breath and brought his thoughts out of those long-lasting memories.
"What about the fourth thing?" Chen Tao couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Li lifted up his sleeves.
"Mr. Li..." Chen Tao was a little confused, looked at Mr. Li in confusion, and then was stunned.
"You...your..."
Mr. Li said that his arm was severed when he opened the sarcophagus.
And he did it himself.
But now, Mr. Li's two arms are intact.
A man who had lost his arm for almost a year actually had a complete arm again!
Let alone that time, even if medicine is so advanced now, this is simply impossible.
"How is this possible!" Chen Tao was so shocked that he was completely speechless.
Could it be that grandpa has become a god?
"During the construction of the Chen Family Ancestral Hall and the Chen Family Ancestral Tomb, the leader disappeared alone for a long time." Li Laomeng took a sip of wine.
"He didn't take anyone with him. Even I don't know where he went."
"When he came back again, he brought back my amputated hand and that weird claw."
"So he went to Kunlun again!" Haozi said in shock, "He went back alone!"
"Ever since he came back from madness, I understand him less and less." Mr. Li shook his head, "Well, after so many years, your grandfather passed away suddenly again. His death caught everyone off guard. Many I still haven’t figured it out yet.”
"What happened to him back then? What is hidden in the Chen family ancestral hall and the Chen family ancestral tomb?" Mr. Li drank a little too much, "Chen You, Chen You, you..."
As Mr. Li said, he was already lying on the table, drunk.
Chen Tao shook his head helplessly.
By the time I came out of Li's hometown, it was already past two o'clock in the night.
Lying on the bed, Chen Tao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
The trip to the desert was weird and mysterious, almost like a dream.
Even now, Chen Tao is doubting whether he has ever been to Tatunaan.
However, the rat-head mask lying still in the cabinet seemed to prove everything he had experienced.
And what Mr. Li said was equally confusing.
Everything starts from that weird giant pit underneath.
That place is called the Forbidden Ruins.
Today, Chen Tao has come into contact with this strange giant pit for the third time.
If his guess is correct, there is a similar huge pit under the canyon in Man-Eating Valley.
One, two, three... How did these giant pits appear and what are they used for?
Such an unfathomable and vast project cannot be realized by human power.
"By the way, that notebook..." Chen Tao had a clever idea.
He didn't know German, but he vaguely remembered that on the attic floor of his grandfather's old house, there were several wooden boxes containing books and sundries. There seemed to be a torn leather notebook in one of them, and the words inside looked like ghost drawings. .
"For such an important thing, Grandpa shouldn't be so hasty..." Chen Tao thought about it without feeling sleepy.
This man is really strange. The more you try to suppress it, the more he can't suppress it. His mind is spinning so fast that he can't stop at all.
After thinking about it, Gulu finally got up, pulled off his coat and walked out the door.
It's quiet at night.
The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, there is a slight breeze in the air, and the clouds are thinned.
It's summer, too, and the summer in the ancient city is much more comfortable than the suffocating ghost places in the south.
After a familiar journey, Chen Tao arrived at his grandfather's old house.
More than half a month has passed since he last came here.
Thinking back to what happened last time, Chen Tao couldn't help but shiver.
Grandpa actually drugged this place.
Having learned from the past, Chen Tao was naturally more cautious this time.
He put on a gas mask, covering his whole body down to his teeth.
Just in case, he even kicked a black donkey's hoof in his trouser pocket.
Who knows if grandpa will move a collection of old salted fish and rice dumplings into his home?
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tao opened the locked iron door.
squeak......
No one has managed and repaired it for a long time, and the big iron gate has become rusty.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the moonlight overhead revealed half of his body into a dark cloud.
The original courtyard path has been covered with grass. When stepping on the fine short grass, the branches and leaves rub against Chen Tao's calves and insteps.
The sound of insects is rising and falling.
When I opened the door to the inner room, I saw several pot-sized spider webs in the corner.
In the past, Chen Tao was ignorant, but now every time he comes to this old school house, Chen Tao realizes that it is not simple here.
The furnishings in the house are simple and ordinary in location and arrangement.
Grandpa had asked Mr. Li to modify and decorate every place in this house. The placement and positioning of every item had hidden secrets.
"No wonder grandpa didn't let me touch it at home when I was a kid." Chen Tao muttered, looking around with a flashlight.
Looking at everything familiar around him, waves of memories arose in his mind, and Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a sense of right and wrong.
Click!
Just as Chen Tao was caressing him in a daze, there was a sound of glass breaking behind him.
When I looked back, I saw that the picture frame that was originally hanging on the wall fell off, and the glass on it shattered all over the floor.
"This is......"
