He Gu got in smoothly.

A bit to his surprise, the sycamore crown, which looked very dense with gold leaves from the outside, was hollow inside.

The main trunk under his feet branched out into four branches, and a circular space of more than ten feet covered with gold leaves on all sides appeared in front of him instantly.

In the corner lies the handful of spiritual stones given by God.

And in the center in front of him, there was a petrified red egg that was motionless and covered with strange dark lines floating in the air.

The surface is dull and dull, as if the existence inside is completely dead, which is quite mysterious.

The old man was standing next to him, holding in his arms a small stone tablet that was coiled up with a glossy black finish, and there were vague words written on it.

Seeing that he had already come up, his wrinkled old face suddenly revealed a childlike and childlike smile.

As if showing off to his playmates, with a bit of pride on his face, he suddenly came closer.

He pointed at the stone egg with his eyes, and whispered piously: "This, there is a god inside, we must protect it!"

Because of the old man's sudden approach, He Gu couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

Finally, after confirming that the crazy old man was really not hostile to me, his tense body relaxed a little.

Wen Sheng tried to ask: "Old senior, can you tell me what's going on here?"

In view of the other party's current state of mind, he added another sentence: "You can say anything!"

Hearing this, the crazy old man looked like he was struggling to think of an answer, his eyes were wandering and his head was shaking.

Gradually there was a look of pain on his face, and he spoke intermittently.

"I've been walking for a long time, and I'm about to die... The Lord God guided me to find this place, and I'm saved. I want to protect it...

Well...you also protect it with me!"

The word "god" is a commonly used word only in ancient times.

At that time, spiritual roots had not yet appeared in the body of living beings. Due to the pressure of survival caused by the rampant monsters, the three tribes all regarded the five fierce beasts as their faith totems, praying for their forgiveness and protection.

It is rarely mentioned nowadays, and when someone does mention it occasionally, it only refers to today's way of heaven, not the original meaning.

At the moment, He Gu wasn't quite sure which one the crazy old man was talking about, but he had a vague feeling that it might not refer to the way of heaven.

If not, what does this have to do with the five great spiritual beasts?

As for the so-called divine guidance, it is impossible to tell at the moment whether it is a hallucination produced by the crazy old man in his desperate situation or whether there is something really communicating with him.

Looking at the mysterious floating stone egg in the dead silence, He Gu released a ray of spiritual consciousness and carefully stretched it out.

Touching it cannot penetrate it, it is like there is a barrier that completely isolates his consciousness.

However, there was no danger of counterattack.

After repeated efforts to no avail, he controlled his spiritual consciousness and repeatedly probed around, but still found nothing new.

Except for the small red petrified egg hanging in the middle, which is the most suspicious, the rest is obviously normal.

To be honest, the existence of this strange sycamore tree is a bit weird, and the leaves also have the function of blocking spiritual consciousness.

In addition, this area of ​​less than ten feet has a meager amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy compared to other places, and the exposed spiritual stones have not been consumed out of thin air.

He wanted to take the risk and touch the red stone egg with his hand, but was immediately stopped by the crazy old man beside him who held his arm.

The old man shook his head violently, his expression a little excited, and his tone was very disapproving: "Xiao Ion, you can't blaspheme the gods..."

He Gu was suddenly startled.

Does this mean that I am someone he knows?

Seeing that he was so unwilling, considering that the other party's intelligence was seriously damaged and afraid of causing him to go crazy, he rationally gave up the idea and withdrew his hand.

After his expression calmed down, he asked him again and again in different ways, and the fragmentary answers he received barely formed a rough experience.

The old man seemed to be in an emergency, but he could not find a way out. He was trapped in this unknown secret land for a long, long time, so long that he could no longer remember how long it had been.

When he was about to die, he suddenly heard the mysterious call of the gods, so he followed the guidance and found this place.

He always feels that he has something very important to do, but he can never remember it. The longer it is, the more headache he gets when he tries to recall it.

Slowly he got used to it and stayed here ever since.

The so-called "little ion" seemed to have been completely forgotten by the crazy old man once he mentioned it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't answer it.

Now he just wants to protect this place, because he feels that the red stone egg is the source of the voice of the gods, and saving him is to protect this place.

Taking advantage of the free hand of the crazy old man, He Gu noticed that there was a shallow inscription of "Tomb" underneath the small stone tablet that the old man was holding tightly in his arms, and he couldn't help but become curious.

It seems that the old man is not the only one who accidentally entered and was trapped here.

It is very likely that it is the "little ion" the old man mentioned just now.

Seeing that he was quite easy to talk to and not as moody as God said, he tried to borrow it, intending to verify it with his own eyes.

"Old senior, could you lend me this small monument of yours to look at?"

The crazy old man was just as happy this time. He was just stunned for a moment. After reacting, he let go of the hand that had been holding He Gu, and held it directly to He Gu with both hands.

He Gu immediately took it seriously.

This is a square black stone tablet less than half a foot wide and one foot long. The material is a common stone needed to construct certain formations.

The originally square surface has been made smooth and shiny, and the edges are rounded, which shows that the owner values ​​it.

It is precisely because of being laid down for many years that the carvings on it are much shallower. If it takes more than ten years, they may all be smoothed away.

The two columns of text are vaguely visible.

Large characters in the center: [Failed to complete the task, the tomb of the criminals who neglected their duty in the He family of Zhonghuangzhou]

Faintly small characters in the lower right corner: [He Qing's last works]

When he saw the word "He Family", He Gu couldn't help but froze for a moment.

When I saw "He Qing" again, I just thought about it for a few moments before my head suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

He suddenly remembered the second memory dream, when Leng Qingzhu found him in the shabby house on a rainy night. He was alert and clever and found an opportunity to shout "Grandpa Qing" outside the house!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhonghuangzhou, He family, He Qing...

And this old man’s obviously different approach to me...

Everything is too coincidental, no! It’s too consistent!

I instantly understood why I was treated differently.

He Qing may be dead, or he may be this crazy old man.

When He Gu thought that the person in front of him was most likely the "Grandpa Qing" with whom he should have had a good relationship when the He family fled, He Gu couldn't help but feel the sand in his eyes.

The family was in trouble back then, but these people worked hard to escort him all the way so that he could grow up safely now.

Looking at the old man's skinny, skinny face that had gone through vicissitudes of life, he dropped the stone tablet and grasped his arms with both hands.

I couldn't help but call out with a trembling voice.

"Grandpa Qing?"

Like a thunderbolt hitting his head, the crazy old man seemed to recall something because of this familiar name, and a look of infinite pain and hatred suddenly appeared on his face.

He began to murmur: "Kill all the dynasty, run away... Damn the emperor, damn the royal pursuers...

You go first, I'll go alone...

My family, that is our last hope for survival... I can’t stop before I get to my family, I must go out..."

He Gu Yilian captured many key fragments of information, and the more he listened, the more certain he was about the blood relationship between the person in front of him and himself.

With an expression almost crazy, the crazy old man suddenly shouted to him: "Xiao Ion, you must avenge the patriarch and your mother, kill the royal family, kill, kill, kill!"

Just when he was about to continue listening, the old man shouted out of control, then forcefully shook He Gu's hands away, turned around and squeezed out the dense golden leaves.

Instantly disappeared.

He Gu hurriedly chased him out, but when he got outside, the old man disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mistakenly thinking that something happened inside, Tian Ye under the tree canopy was about to go up to check when he sensed He Gu's peaceful aura appearing on the side, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He rushed to He Gu's side in a hurry.

Unable to find the old man's back, He Gu asked anxiously: "God, where are the others?!"

Although he was very concerned about what happened inside, Tianye immediately raised his short paw and pointed somewhere ahead.

He explained: "We are already far away. If you want to catch up, you can give it a try."

"Chase!" He Gu said eagerly.

No nonsense, Tianye immediately grabbed He Gu's shoulder and tracked him at full speed in the direction of his disappearance.

With its previous experience, it does not dare to use the ability to jump in space in this unknown secret realm. The results obtained may not necessarily jump forward as expected, and will often appear randomly in other places.

The crazy old man's speed was too fast, and in addition to the critical time he left before them at the beginning, the traces of spiritual power left by his movements on the way were absorbed by the secret realm, and they were unable to find each other for the next three days.
