"Master, he is what I call a master." Zhuang Junkai introduced an old ghost next to him.
Yu Xiaolong looked at the other person. The old ghost was very short, only over one meter tall and thin, like a half-grown child.
"Hello, how do you address me?" Yu Xiaolong asked politely.
The old ghost smiled and said, "You have no name or surname. You can call me anything."
"Uh, okay. I heard that you are good at runes, can you do me a favor? I won't treat you badly," Yu Xiaolong said.
The old ghost shook his head and smiled: "It's rare to get it for free, it's a simple charge."
Yu Xiaolong looked at the other party in confusion. Generally speaking, the harder it is to crack, the more expensive it is. Why is this old guy different?
Seeing his doubts, Zhuang Junkai explained: "The more difficult it is to crack, the more he likes it. It can increase his fun, so he doesn't need money. Simple ones are boring to him and a waste of his time and energy, so he wants to
Money."
Yu Xiaolong suddenly understood and agreed with this attitude. He looked at the smiling old ghost and nodded.
"Well, there is a problem. Please don't make it public and keep it confidential." Yu Xiaolong reminded with a silly smile.
The old ghost waved his hands and said, "I just like runes, I don't care about the rest."
Yu Xiaolong took out the Taoist Talisman and handed it over. The old ghost took it and said, "Don't fool me. I am too old to withstand deception."
"No, why don't you take a look?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
The old ghost looked at the Tao Talisman over and over again, and his brows began to wrinkle slightly. After a moment, he said happily: "Three days later, it will still be here at this time."
After saying that, he stood up and staggered away into the distance. Just as Yu Xiaolong was about to call him to stop, Zhuang Junkai hurriedly said: "He'll be like that. Let's talk about it in three days." ωωw..net
Yu Xiaolong said with some worry: "I only have that one share. If I lose it, I will never find those people again. Is this old guy reliable? Do you know him?"
Zhuang Junkai smiled and said: "I have known him for many years. He has come here several times to buy medicine since we opened the pharmacy. Although he is a low-minded person, he likes to study runes. Just wait, it's only three days."
Three days later…
Yu Xiaolong and Zhuang Junkai arrived at the agreed place early and waited until no one was around.
"What about the old guy?" Yu Xiaolong lost his patience.
The old ghost took out the Taoist talisman, looked at the runes on it and said: "This is a road map. I can only crack 90% of it despite my best efforts, and I can't do anything about the rest."
Yu Xiaolong said depressedly: "Is it so complicated?"
The old ghost nodded and said: "I have tried various methods, and the puzzle is right in front of me, but it is always just a little bit wrong. No matter what, it doesn't work."
Zhuang Junkai asked: "You can study it for a few more days."
The old ghost shook his head and said: "It's useless. Since there's nothing we can do in three days, there's no point in adding more time."
Yu Xiaolong took the Taoist Talisman and felt very unhappy. He threw it on the ground angrily and stamped on it vigorously. Zhuang Junkai quickly pulled away from him and picked up the Taoist Talisman.
"Master, you have to rely on this to find everyone, so don't break it," Zhuang Junkai said.
Yu Xiaolong held the Taoist Talisman, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but activate his true energy and squeezed the Taoist Talisman hard, but he didn't dare to tear it.
Because this is the only clue to find our friends.
Suddenly, the old ghost shouted: "Wait!"
After saying that, he grabbed the Taoist Talisman and examined it carefully, and seemed to have discovered something.
Yu Xiaolong and Zhuang Junkai were startled and stared at him blankly.
After a while, the old ghost clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Now I understand that only you can unlock it!"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Yu Xiaolong scratched his head in confusion.
The old ghost explained: "I solved 90% of it, and the rest won't work anyway. But after you released your zhenqi just now, you may have absorbed the Taoist talisman, and there were actually some more runes on it. Only then did I understand
, this Taoist Talisman is exclusive to you, and only your true energy can do this. In this way, the Taoist Talisman will be completely unlocked!"
"So that's it!" Yu Xiaolong suddenly realized.
The old ghost wrote some words on a piece of white paper, then handed it to Yu Xiaolong and said: "This is the complete explanation of the Taoist Talisman, and it is a route."
Yu Xiaolong took the paper and looked at him gratefully and said: "Master, thank you... I don't know how to thank you."
The old ghost waved his hand and said: "No, no, there are good things that I like better, and I have to thank you for letting me see new things."
After that, he gradually left with his hands behind his back, still counting on his fingers.
Without further ado, Yu Xiaolong immediately returned to the earth according to the instructions for cracking the code.
The entire route is very complicated. It has to go to a total of 81 places in China, distributed in various regions in the southeast, northwest, and there are extremely long distances between them.
One stop is the northernmost Dong Province, and the next stop is the southernmost Hai Province.
Because all stations are related to each other, you can only go one by one and get the information before going to the next station.
Therefore, Yu Xiaolong traveled around the entire land of China like crazy, which made him feel exhausted as a practitioner.
After more than twenty days of high-speed operation, Yu Xiaolong finally arrived at the last location, a dense forest in Sichuan Province.
This is a vast and inaccessible area, with hundreds of square kilometers of virgin forest.
Yu Xiaolong traveled quickly through the dense woods until he reached the foot of a mountain deep inside.
There is an open space of tens of square meters here, and the weeds that have been reincarnated for thousands of years are even taller than Yu Xiaolong.
He walked here slowly, looking at the instructions on the paper and searching with his fingers.
Yu Xiaolong finally came to a huge stone and touched it. It was indeed a real stone.
He checked everywhere but found no mechanism.
This is just an ordinary stone, but it's a bit larger. There are messy weeds next to it, so you can't see anything unusual here.
He released a trace of his true energy and saw the big stone shaking a few times and moving to the side, and a dark hole appeared in front of him.
Yu Xiaolong took a look around, then dived in, and the big stone moved back to its original place.
As soon as he entered, a very weak breath spread forward.
Yu Xiaolong knew that the other party would soon know that he had arrived here.
He took a long breath, held the Taoist talisman in his left hand, and held the Shuangyin Qiankun in his right hand, and walked step by step deeper into the passage.
