"Elaborate!"
"Tietou, why are you so nervous? It's nothing..." Before Wang Andao could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.
The empty hall showed its true appearance, and lines of golden fonts emerged in mid-air.
"Purify the body with fire, eliminate evil desires, and then go through three disasters and nine tribulations, then..."
Before Wang Andao finished reading, Tie Tang locked his shoulders with his hands and pulled him over.
"Tell me about the token first."
Tie Tang didn't pay attention to the so-called trial now.
His mind was completely seduced by the token, and he wanted to pry into the truth of the unsolved case and find out the mastermind behind the murder of his predecessor.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry..."
"Old Wang, this matter is extremely important to me!" Tie Tang spoke solemnly and looked firm.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Andao stopped playing and became serious.
"This token is nothing big. It's just a thing used to prove your identity. It has the same effect as your waistband, but it lacks some functions."
Tie Tang picked up the token and looked at it: "Who owns this? What identity does it prove? Is this a trial?"
"Yes...and no!"
"How to say?"
"This token does prove your identity in the trial, but it wasn't originally."
"I don't quite understand." Tie Tang was a little confused.
Wang Andao took out his token, turned it to the front, and pointed at the word Dan.
"This token should actually be empty originally, with no words engraved on it. It will be engraved with corresponding words according to its purpose.
For example, this one is engraved with the word Dan, which represents several possibilities.
First: The trial master may be proficient in alchemy, or may have the word alchemy in his name.
Second: It may mean that this trial is mainly related to alchemy.
The third thing...maybe it has something to do with the sect of the trial master. "
Having said this, Wang Andao turned the token over again, picked it up and looked at it carefully, as if he was looking for something.
Tie Tang didn't rush him and just stood aside quietly waiting.
Zhen Guandong originally wanted to come over, but her sister grabbed her ears and walked straight ahead.
A few moments.
Wang Andao seemed to have found what he wanted on the back, pointing to the token.
"Tietou, look here."
Tie Tang stepped forward and took a closer look.
There is no engraving on the reverse side of the token.
But in the lower left corner, inside the dragon, there is an extremely small and very delicate flame logo.
“This is the mark of the token caster and is generally not allowed.
However, many skilled craftsmen are unwilling to remain unknown and will leave their own mark on the token. "
"Then what does this flame represent?"
“The possibilities are similar to this Dan character, and there are several.
It may represent one of the name, sect, and origin of the caster.
It may also represent a more special use at a certain time, or it may even be carved by the caster at will, without any meaning. "
Anti-counterfeiting mark?
Tie Tang immediately realized that before the relevant writing was engraved on this token, it was equivalent to a blank piece of paper and was in the nature of a commodity.
The caster left his own mark for others to imitate.
The token in the cold case...does it have such a mark?
After thinking about it carefully, Tie Tang was not sure.
He only knew that the token styles were absolutely the same, but he really couldn't remember such a small personal mark.
But that's okay.
The pending case is still in the litigation period. Although it is coming soon, all the exhibits are still kept in the Yuncheng County Government Office.
As long as you go back to Yuncheng, you can still check it.
"Old Wang, how many blank tokens are there?"
"Not much, but not much."
"Very versatile?"
"good."
"Then why are all tokens the same and can't they have different appearances?"
Wang Andao was stunned for a moment, apparently confused by the question.
It took him a while to react, grabbing Tie Tang's arms and shaking him hard.
"Why do you use chopsticks to eat? Why don't you just grab it with your hands?
Why are books all boxy? Why aren't they rounded? Why not create a Pythagorean pattern?
Why is the Secret Realm of the Physical Body called the Secret Realm of the Physical Body?
Why are you called Tietang and not Tietou?
This thing has always been like this, how do I know why? "
Tie Tang exerted a slight force on his arms and shook off Wang Andao's iron-clamping hands.
"You mean... there was this kind of blank token a long time ago?
At that time, the corresponding specifications and appearance were determined, and they are still in use today? "
"Boys can be taught!" Wang Andao touched his chin happily, but it was a pity that he didn't have a beard, otherwise he would look like a complete old master.
Knowing the origin of the token, Tie Tang was not very happy. He murmured in a low voice: "If the imprint of that token is different from the one here, wouldn't the clue be broken?"
Wang Andao couldn't help but be curious when he heard this sentence: "Oh?
Do you still have this token?
Where did it come from?
This thing is a bit old, almost no one uses it now, and there aren't even many people who know how to build it. "
Tie Tang's eyes lit up and he asked slowly: "If I still have a token, can I find the creator? Or find out the purpose of the token?"
"possible!"
"Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult at all!"
"speak English."
Wang Andao spread his hands and expressed his helplessness: "If that token exists for a trial like this, then at most we can find out its past purpose.
Trying to find the caster...impossible! "
"Why?"
"Because they...are probably dead long ago, just like the master of this trial."
Tie Tang was surprised: "How do you know that the master of this trial is dead?"
"Those Qingling Earth Breasts!"
“With the size of that cave, it would take at least one or two thousand years to accumulate that much Qingling Earth Milk.
And the words left by the trial masters just now seemed to be refined, which was obviously different from today.
Again, look around. "
Tie Tang raised his eyes and looked around.
All the people around him were seen disappearing, leaving only a few oil lamps emitting a faint light, golden fonts still shining in mid-air, and a door open in front of them.
besides.
There are huge stone walls on the left and right sides of the main hall, and the sculptures on them are all majestic and majestic giant dragons.
As for these statues of dragons...the paint has peeled off, the bodies of the dragons have turned yellow, the claws are broken, teeth are missing, and there are few scales. There are almost no complete dragons.
they.
Already decayed.
Wang Andao walked up and touched it, and said lightly: "Qingling Earth Breast only lasts a thousand or two thousand years.
But these statues must have been in such a state of decay for at least thousands of years, maybe even tens of thousands of years.
If the trial master is still alive...
It shouldn't want to see this scene now, right? "
Tie Tang actually didn't care about this trial, but instead speculated on something new.
"According to you...this place should have been opened more than once, at least once a thousand or two thousand years ago."
"Why are you talking about this? It has nothing to do with us. Let's go and see this trial.
Isn’t it written here? If you go through three disasters and nine disasters, you can get the inheritance from the owner of this place..."
Tie Tang waved his hand and interrupted Wang Andao: "Old Wang, let's go, this may not be a good place."
"How can I see it?"
"The trial left by the master of this place doesn't care about our life and death at all. I'm afraid that the three disasters and nine disasters that will follow... won't be so easy to overcome.
Take a step back and say that.
This place is probably left by the ancestors of the Jiao tribe. After all, we are a human race. We don’t know whether we can gain any benefits by forcing ourselves through the pass.
Even if you get it... it may not be useful. "
Wang Andao looked at the pile of ashes left in the hall and nodded silently.
"I'm just afraid that little dragon will suffer. I quite like him."
Tie Tang thought of Zhen Guandong and smiled slightly: "After all, it belongs to the dragon clan, and even if it does not get the inheritance, it should not die.
What's more, he also has a powerful sister, and he is a witch, so he probably won't encounter a certain death situation. "
The two of them exited the way they came, and the locked door was not a problem.
This was actually what Tie Tang expected.
After all, this is a place of trial and a place to select successors. There is no need to completely trap those who enter the game.
No, it's a dragon entering the game.
Sometimes retreating when faced with difficulties is a strategy.
After leaving the gate, the turbulent river water was just outside a thin film. Scattered figures focused on the outside, trying to force their way in, but were stopped by the colorful thin film.
Tie Tang and the others got through easily, but the people outside tried their best and still couldn't get in.
"Hand over what you got inside, and I'll let you live."
A group of water tribe surrounded them, as if they were back in Qingling Diru Cave.
"Haha~"
Two laughters sounded at the same time, and then blood appeared all over the sky, and the rich blood turned the clear river water into red.
After half a stick of incense.
"We have left the trial area, but we are still trapped here and cannot return to Longyuan City."
Tie Tang and Wang Andao fought off the group of water tribes, then groped around, but never found a mechanism to get out.
They came in from the Qujiang Whirlpool, and now they want to go out, but they can't find the way they came.
Sudden.
The water rippled and a surprised voice came from afar.
"Huh?"
"You two are so kind-hearted that you can resist going in."
