"Professor, I read nine words in a book. Have you ever heard of them?"

He hesitated and then suddenly asked.

Deng Yun held up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Which book and what words can you tell me about?"

Su Bei pondered: "The name of this book is called "The Translation of the Witch Scripture", which was translated and annotated by Mr. Zheng. These nine characters... I'll lend you your hiking pole."

He reached out and took the hiking pole from Deng Yun's hand, poured his Jiwu energy into it, penetrated it directly through the ground, and wrote words one by one.

In the process, he also discovered the magic of this ancient bronze temple. The ground was extremely hard, and even with his body reaching the Five Qi Realm, he could only break through a shallow layer.

However, this was enough to shock Deng Yun.

The old professor from Yanjing University looked at him in amazement for a few times before turning his gaze to the ground.

These nine characters are none other than the general directory of Tiandao Server.

Suo, Rong, Kui, Ji, Qiong, Kui, Hu, Cha, Zhu.

It was a good thing that Deng Yun didn't look at it. When he looked at it, he was immediately shocked and asked: "You mean..."

She fell into a state of thought for a moment, walked around the writing, and said, "Aren't these nine words... the words on the rune stones? You have actually read these nine words, the translation of the Shaman Scripture... Yes, I remembered it. !”

Deng Yun stopped, looked at Su Bei, and said seriously: "Su Bei, more than 20 years ago, at Yenching University, I once saw a book on Zheng Peiyuan's desk, called "The Book of Witchcraft". "

Su Bei was stunned for a moment and asked: "You mean... Mr. Zheng has a complete witchcraft scripture in his hand, so he has studied it for many years and may have already known the existence and meaning of the nine rune stones?"

Deng Yun also connected all the things at once and said: "That's right! Back then, he suddenly left Yenching University and insisted on going to various places around the world to conduct on-site archeology and exploration. Now that I think about it, it seems that he had already had a purpose!"

Her eyes fell into memories, and scenes from Zheng Peiyuan's time seemed to appear before her eyes.

Sandhill Mausoleum...Sichuan-Sichuan Underground Palace...Insect Valley of Southern Xinjiang...

Su Bei obviously had a lot of things on his mind and couldn't help but ask: "Professor Deng, do you think that from the beginning, Mr. Zheng went to these ancient places just to find the nine rune stones?"

Deng Yun nodded subconsciously and said, "I think... that's the case too. Teacher, what on earth are you doing?"

Su Bei followed the train of thought and deduced: "Zheng Peiyuan's intention was to find the Talisman Stones from the very beginning. The Translation of the Witch Scripture that he translated and annotated was probably only written by him in his early years. He may have already deciphered the complete Witch Scripture!

"And this "Witch Book" should be the wisdom left by the ancient Miao people. It records the secrets of the nine rune stones, as well as the existence of various ancient places, and finally guides them to the Antarctic Glacier!"

Su Bei's thoughts were getting smoother and smoother, and he felt like he was suddenly enlightened.

Deng Yun also added: "So, this ancient bronze palace is absolutely inseparable from him! But why did he do this? And why did he leave an ancient bronze key to me and ask me to come here to wait for him? "

In her heart, unlike Su Bei, she became increasingly confused.

Deng Yun didn't realize until today that she seemed to have never really understood Zheng Peiyuan.

Apart from her unquenchable affection, she never seemed to be one step closer to this mysterious old man.

Su Bei held the rune stone tightly and said, "Professor Deng, I am beginning to believe that Mr. Zheng may have left something on the top floor of this ancient bronze palace. And this may be one of the reasons why he called you here."

Deng Yun also suddenly woke up and said: "You are right... you are right, let's... let's go up quickly!"

The old professor put on his glasses and walked quickly out of the main hall on the third floor.

Su Bei's heart was also full of curiosity. He grabbed Deng Yun and rushed towards the fourth and fifth floors with all his strength.

Soon, the two passed through the palaces one by one, harvesting rune stones one after another, and gradually approached the ninth floor.

"Professor, I have thought that if Mr. Zheng Peiyuan had opened up the secrets under the Antarctic glaciers nineteen years ago, then he must have used rune stones back then. This is also recorded in his archaeological notes."

Su Bei slowed down and thought.

Deng Yun didn't know why and asked: "So?"

Su Bei looked up at the corridor leading to the ninth floor and said: "So, nineteen years ago, this nine-story snake platform may not have the ability to evolve the snake people, but because he came here,

There is a complete nine-story snake platform."

Deng Yun was startled for a moment and said, "Did he bring nine rune stones from various ancient places and open the nine-story snake platform?"

Su Bei nodded and said: "Yes, why do you think he worked so hard to restore the nine-story snake platform to its integrity? Is there a powerful being at the top of the snake platform who needs to rely on nine rune stones?

The power to complete the promotion?"

Deng Yun was shocked and asked: "You mean...the pinnacle of the snake-people clan...the real dragon?"

Su Bei shook his head and sighed: "I'm not sure either. But Mr. Zheng can't come here for no reason. Maybe he wants to open a complete nine-story snake platform so that the basilisks in the glacier outside can have a way to advance."

Deng Yun's eyes were full of meaning and he murmured: "No, if he is trying to help the basilisk outside, why is the nine-story snake platform empty? Could it be that in the past nineteen years, no basilisk has climbed up the snake platform to perform

Evolution?”

Su Bei took a deep breath and said: "The secret... is right in front of you. Professor, if there is no Mr. Zheng above, what are you... going to do?"

Deng Yun traveled thousands of miles to the Antarctic this time, risking his life and entering the depths of the Antarctic Circle just to see this old man who had not appeared for nineteen years.

But, what if the other party is not in the Nine-story Snake Platform?

Deng Yun was a little confused, bit his lip, and said: "I will go to other places to look for him, such as the Sandhill Mausoleum, the Sichuan-Sichuan Underground Palace, the Insect Valley of Southern Xinjiang... I will walk the path he walked until one day, I find him.

he."

Su Bei sighed softly and stopped talking.

Asking the world what love is, it tells you that life and death are mutually exclusive.

He is still young and has never felt the feeling of a loved one leaving, so he doesn't understand.

"Then, Professor, let's go!"

Su Bei finally said something, grabbed Deng Yun's shoulders, turned into a shooting star, and shuttled into the dark corridor.

The long passage seemed longer than a lifetime at this time. In the darkness, there were only two people breathing gently.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a light came out from the end of the corridor, illuminating the road ahead.

"arrive!"

Su Bei called out softly and rushed out of the corridor with Deng Yun.

A magnificent palace appeared in their sight, like crystal.

"Is this... the Dragon Palace under the sea?"
