The gate of Huangdu was solemn and solemn. The high city wall blocked Mu Ziyun's sight, but the gate was tightly closed. Without the noise of the past, standing in front of this lonely city, Mu Ziyun walked back and forth, sighed, and raised his head. His feet flew over the top of the city wall. There was no one on the streets of the huge Huangdu City. Mu Ziyun was mentally prepared. He could still sense the breath of life in each building and was looking around, looking for similar magic circles. s things.
A familiar voice came to Mu Ziyun's mind, and Zhai Qiuzi said to him through his ability: "What? It's been so long since you've been back, you don't know the way?"
Mu Ziyun seemed to have taken reassurance and immediately flew to the Huangdu Cabinet. Zhai Qiuzi and Ge Yuan were sitting at the tea table. Although they were separated by several generations, they had similar interests and got along well. As soon as Mu Ziyun landed, he asked eagerly: "Where is the box? Has it been opened? Has something happened?"
"Oh? Sure enough, there is something wrong." Ge Yuan ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said with a smile, "I saw that you came here in a hurry, so I guessed that there was something wrong with the things I brought back."
"Have you opened it?" Mu Ziyun asked.
Zhai Qiuzi replied: "It almost started, but Ge Yuan stopped."
"Why?"
Ge Yuan closed his eyes and thought, and said: "Do you remember the test that Tiebitou gave us in the gold mining town? When I was about to open the box, I suddenly thought that those who can get the longevity flower may not be those who are firm in their goals. It is a creature that can be given up at any time. Often the person who wants the treasure the most does not survive until the end. By abandoning his greatest desire for life, he avoids the most deadly trap of life for himself. I have said that I have calculated it for myself. According to the hexagram, the future of obtaining the longevity flower is bumpy, but the box in front of me comes too easily, as if I can get the longevity flower as long as I take a few more steps. This... is the 'trap' of fate."
Mu Ziyun sat at the table and said: "We are just guessing. After you left, we returned to that village by chance. The old man had been wiped out. We used some means to evoke his undead memory. That village The daily calculation clock is fake, and the thing in the box is not the worry grass. If the daily calculation clock is not destroyed, then it needs a new magic circle, and the box may be the key to activating the magic circle."
Hearing this, even Ge Yuan shuddered, his expression became unsettled, and he sighed: "If this is true, Huangdu has really escaped a disaster, and it has also prevented me from becoming an eternity." sinner."
Mu Ziyun said: "We have to go back to the Kingdom of Zhen and ask them what the calendar clock looks like."
"The clues have been cut off, so we have no choice but to do this, but..." Ge Yuan replied, "The people of Zhen Kingdom should have disappeared long ago, and it will be in vain if they go."
Zhai Qiuzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, according to what you said, if the box is linked to the calendar clock, I will have a solution."
Ge Yuan also smiled and said: "You are always talking about alfalfa whip."
"Hahaha, Xiao Yuan, you really do research on my secret treasure in Huangdu. How much do you know?"
"No more, no more. I know a little bit about everything that can be calculated in Four Square Chess." Ge Yuan explained to Mu Ziyun again: "The alfalfa whip has a common name of 'sticky tail grass'. In the previous era (the era of the gods) ) There once was a strange beast called Alfalfa, which was full of treasures. It is said that this beast will not die even if its head is in different places. The two bodies can find each other and heal again even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. It's just that this beast met a tragic end. The black elves caught it and used black magic and secret techniques to cut off the most resilient part of its body, and gave it eternal vitality. Then they destroyed the main body of Alfalfa. Then the part that is finally retained becomes a treasure, called the clover whip. The clover whip can find the target through fetters. As long as the two objects are connected to each other through certain means, it is only a matter of time to find them. Hiss... I remember that Not only did the beast leave behind this treasure, its head was made into a wine cup, of course not for drinking, and its blood was sprinkled on the earth, breeding a medicine called alfalfa."
"Where is the clover whip? Here?" Mu Ziyun stared at Zhai Qiuzi, "Are you willing to take it out?"
"As long as the treasure is not capable of causing great turmoil, you can take it out temporarily. Why not lend it to you for use? And..." Zhai Qiuzi opened his palm, and a short yam-like object appeared out of thin air in his palm. He said: "You are not the only one who can tell luck. I also have my own ability. I have already prepared it."
"Serve" Ge Yuan gave a thumbs up and took out the treasure box from the cloth bag. Zhai Qiuzi threw the alfalfa whip on the box. After two or three breaths, the alfalfa whip came alive. After a while of shaking, it suddenly tightened, then bent and pointed somewhere. Zhai Qiuzi said: "Just follow it and point it." If you fly in the right direction, you will be able to find the target. Mu Ziyun’s judgment is correct, this thing may really be connected to the daily calculator clock.”
Mu Ziyun gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If this is the case, I will not be merciful anymore. This is simply a family that eats human bones and drinks human blood. They insist on robbing other people's fortunes for their own use. Hmph... destroy Kill him!"
"I feel the same way," Ge Yuan said. "I almost made a big mistake. I will accompany you on this trip."
An hour later, Mu Ziyun carried large and small bags on his back. Accompanied by Zhai Qiuzi, he and Ge Yuan walked to the city gate. He shamelessly asked Zhai Qiuzi for many good things, wanting to take them back to the sect, "Yes. "Hey," Mu Ziyun asked, "Why is there no one on the streets of Huangdu City?"
Ge Yuan replied: "You don't even know this. Today is the Day of Divine Punishment. On this day twenty years ago, the heaven sent divine punishment, and everything was destroyed overnight. The divine punishment was the strongest during the Zi period, while the divine punishment fell during the Chou period. Only then did all living beings receive salvation, and later on, the humans in this land regarded that day as the Day of Punishment, and everyone stayed at home, honestly, not even lighting the stove fire, until the second day of ugliness.”
Mu Ziyun let out a long sigh and counted the days with his fingers. Zhai Qiuzi did not forget to ask: "Where is Tang Daoyuan? Have you found him?"
"I don't know. I've never been back. Hey, it'll be fine. Just relax." Mu Ziyun said while still calculating with his hands.
Ge Yuan said goodbye to Zhai Qiuzi, and Mu Ziyun waved his hand vaguely. Before taking off, Mu Ziyun smiled generously and whispered: "Oh - today is my birthday, no, I was born in Zi Shi, Tomorrow is my birthday, and it’s also my friends’ birthdays.”
After the two flew away, Zhai Qiuzi suddenly rushed back to the underground secret palace. He began to calculate wildly among the many treasures, muttering: "He said it was his birthday...their birthday...I must I've missed something, I have to hurry up..."
By the way, Ge Yuan and Mu Ziyun first found the location of their companions, and arrived at the gold mining town in about half an hour. They couldn't help but be moved by the miserable sight of the iron-backed leaders in front of them. A group of iron-backed heads welcomed the two people into the door. Mu Ziyun saw Xiubing sitting cross-legged among the iron-backed heads, being humbly surrounded by the monsters, and immediately figured out what was going on.
Everyone talked to each other about what they had encountered. First of all, they expressed their hatred and murderous intentions towards the race that stole the destiny of living beings. They were also all frightened by the near fall of Huangdu. There was also big news in the gold mining town. The iron-backed leaders' loyalty to Xiubing probably surpasses all creeds in the world, and any secret will be blurted out when Xiubing asks.
Lao Wuxi told everyone that there were actually eight clues to the longevity flower, and they only passed the four most important ones to the world...
