Chapter 405 Yan Xiaotian's request
He probably noticed my strange look, gave me an embarrassing smile, and explained: "I called him Master in the past, which was to remember his kindness, but in recent years I have been doing rival business with him, so I can see his face clearly. Zhao Dekai, he wants to kill us Baiwu Mountain. Youdao, in fact, I came here this time, and I want to invite you to go back to Shaanxi with me."
I pulled a piece of mutton and put it in my mouth. While chewing it, I asked him, "What's wrong? Something happened again in Shaanxi?"
Yan Xiaotian was silent for a moment before saying to me: "Recently, something went wrong in business. I suspect that there may be an insider among the people here."
I looked at him squintly: "You make it clear, is there an insider in your people, or is there an insider in the people we arranged for you?"
Yan Xiaotian was silent again before saying, "It's possible."
Originally, I planned to ask him to tell me about the specific situation there, but Luo Fei interrupted us: "Youdao has just come out. If you have something to do, you can't talk about it tomorrow? Can you let someone rest first?"
Yan Xiaotian immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, right, right, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't worry, yes, don't worry."
But looking at his expression, he looked very anxious.
But I don’t plan to ask too much. Now I don’t want to care about anything, I just want to rest first.
Xian'er picked up the kettle and poured me a large bowl of hot milk. I took a sip and let out a long sigh, feeling that I became extremely relaxed.
It's great to survive.
When the meal was about to end, I remembered the mountain god again and asked Mr. Sun how the mountain god came here.
Mr. Sun said that they found a half-meter-wide cave entrance near the mountain god's corpse in the past two days. The cave wall was stained with the blood and flesh of the mountain god, and there was frostbite on the mountain god's remains. You should know that these mountain gods have lived in snow-capped mountains for many years and have long been used to the extremely cold climate, but the frostbite has become bone-like, which is extremely unusual.
Liang Houzai analyzed: "The entrance of the cave is more than half a meter wide? If you guessed correctly, the armored corpse must have left the night tomb and came to the ground. It didn't know how to attract the mountain god. There was frostbite on the bones, and the scars should have been left by the Night Demon. This is strange. The Night Demon has been pressed under the stone platform, and its black air cannot be released at all. How could it hurt the mountain god? There is another thing, if I remember correctly, it seemed that the armored corpse led us to the stone gate, right?"
I thought about it carefully and nodded.
Liang Houzai frowned and said, "If the armored corpse knows that the Fantian Seal is one of the keys to suppress the Night Demon, and it is the night Demon's minion, why should we lead us over? It doesn't make sense at all."
After hearing what Liang Houzai said, I realized that something was wrong.
Liang Houzai continued: "When I was chatting with Liu Shangang, I talked about the stone wall near the spring. Liu Shangang said that the structural principle of the wall is a bit similar to that of concrete, which is to mix gravel with mud. In this way, the wall will become stronger and more difficult to break. Although the armored corpse has a certain IQ, it is not so smart that it wants to use the method of mixing mud and stone to build the wall. The wall must have been deliberately built by someone. In other words, there are other people who have entered the night cemetery."
At this time, Liu Shangang inserted his mouth: "Someone has been in? Why didn't these people remove the golden mirror in the tunnel? That thing is worth a lot of money."
Liang Houzai said: "Either they don't care about that little gold, or they are the time that is tight and there is no extra time to dismantle the golden mirrors. I think that the people who entered the Ye Tomb before must have extremely high cultivation. The mountain god was frozen to death and the stone gate was frozen, which shows that the power of the Night Demon had left the formation set up by the Yuxian lineage. I think those people should have used the Night Demon to do something, and after the matter was over, they sealed the Night Demon into the formation."
Speaking of this, Liang Houzai turned his face to me: "And Brother Dao, don't you find it strange? The sensitivity once said that the Night Demon is reincarnated for three thousand years. In theory, the time when the fortune tells and fate appear is very accurate. Three thousand years is three thousand years, not three thousand years, nor three thousand years and a month. But since the Night Demon was sealed, the year has exceeded the entire three thousand."
I nodded: "This is indeed a bit unreasonable."
Liang Houzai continued, "I think that when the first three thousand years of reincarnation ended, the descendants of the Great Saint Ancestor should have entered the Night Tomb, but his purpose in entering the Night Tomb was not to seal the Night Demon, but to something else. But he also let the Night Demon enter the next reincarnation. I think that the Armored Corpse lured us to the stone gate, which is also related to some of the things this person has done."
I thought about it and said, "The descendants of the Great Saint Ancestor... are not necessarily people from Jihun Village."
Liang Houzai: "Well, actually, all the Taoist people are descendants of the Great Saint Ancestor. However, only the people from Jihunzhuang know about the hidden tomb of Ksitigarbha here?"
While talking, Liang Houzai looked at me, Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun.
Mr. Liu responded: "In addition to the Soul Village, there are actually people who know about it, but the only ones who can enter the Tomb of Ksitigarbha freely are the only disciples of our Soul Village, who are the Sect generation of our Soul Village. Oh, now you are the juniors again."
Mr. Sun also echoed: "In normal times, even if someone comes to special training, they will blindly enter the canyon and open the entrance to Ksitigarbha tomb, which is impossible for them to see."
Liang Houzai brought the topic back to the right path: "So, the person who entered Yezhong first will be the elders of the Zongzi of Jihunzhuang."
I stared at Liang Houzai: "You mean..."
Liang Houzai sighed: "The only one who can enter Yezhong without everyone knowing it is your master."
"Zhao Zongdian?" Uncle Ke suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What did he do when he entered the Yezhong!"
Liang Houzai spread his hands: "I'm afraid only he can explain this kind of thing. But I think that with his character, entering Yezuo may be a bit inconvenient for the purpose of complaining, but there is definitely no malice."
I heard Uncle Ke shout, "No malice? No malice, what does it mean to block the spring? You don't understand Zhao Zongdian, he is just a crooked way. When he enters Yezhong, he will definitely not have a good intention!"
It can be heard that Uncle Ke is biased towards my uncle.
Liang Houzai seemed a little embarrassed, but he still defended his master: "Although I don't have any close relationship with him, I have met him once..."
I waved my hand and interrupted Liang Houzai: "Don't discuss this matter anymore. One day I found my uncle, so many things can be figured out."
In fact, I stopped the discussion about my uncle by interrupting Liang Houzai's speech. I guess if I continue to discuss it, Master Ke will start to scold me. From an emotional point of view, I don't want to hear others scold my uncle. After all, I am a relative master of the same school.
Uncle Ke probably also understands my inner thoughts and has never pursued this issue again.
After dinner, Liang Houzai and I cleaned up the dishes and then left the tent alone and came to a small hill near the stream.
After staying in the night tummit for more than a month, midsummer had passed, and the air was slightly chilling. I wrapped my clothes and sat down leaning against a stone on the mountain bag.
The grass on the ground was very soft, and I stretched my waist long and looked at the galaxy in the sky in a daze.
Even in the small city where I am, I can only see a few scattered stars every night. In this pasture far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is a galaxy gathered by a large number of stars in the night.
I once looked up at the starry sky when I just came here. After that, the daily special training made me exhausted and I had almost no extra energy to look up at it.
This is the second time I was staring at the galaxy. For some reason, every time I saw the night sky occupied by these bright white stars, I felt an indescribable peace in my heart.
In this state, I can throw all my worries behind me.
The wind blew, and Xian'er's voice came from behind me: "If you didn't find your person when you lived, you would know that you must have come here to get nervous."
I smiled and didn't say anything.
Xian'er was still wearing her favorite white skirt. The wind became stronger and the hem of the skirt swayed violently, making a sound of rushing.
She went up the hillside and stuffed me a small box of square boxes: "Luo Fei gave it to you, she was embarrassed to give it, so I'll deliver it for her."
I took the box: "What?"
Xian'er: "You'll know if you look at it."
I opened the box and saw that it was a brand new phone, but the battery was out of power. I tried to turn it on, but I couldn't turn it on.
Xian'er said: "Lao's family recently built a mobile phone store. This mobile phone is limited to the public. Luo Fei left it specifically for you. She brought it with her during the Chinese New Year and was embarrassed to give it to you. I saw this box and asked several times before she told me that this was a gift for you. This girl is really, she looks cheerful and stingy, but she is just as depressed as you in this kind of thing."
When I put my phone back in the box, Xian'er suddenly changed her mind: "Zuo Youdao, there is actually something I have always wanted to ask you, Luo Fei and I, which one do you like?"
When she asked this, I felt a little at a loss.
Xian'er is so direct. I know she will ask me this question sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be tonight.
I coughed twice as I pretended to behave, intentionally changing the topic: "It's so late, won't you go back to sleep?"
Xian'er: "Don't interrupt, answer the question."
I scratched my nose with my fingers and said, "I am not yet an adult, so I dare not fall in love early, haha."
Xian'er: "Zuo Youdao, you are escaping from the problem. Then... in this way, who do you think you will choose when you become an adult?"
I know I can't escape today, but I really don't know how to answer such a question now.
After Xian'er said that, she kept staring at me, making my mind even more confused.
Fortunately, just when I was about to be forced into a desperate situation, Yan Xiaotian ran over. As soon as I saw him, I immediately shouted to him: "Yan Xiaotian, are you going out to run so late?"
