Chapter Fifty-six: The Origin of the Father's Saying
I said, old man, don't worry. Facts have proved that your grandson's life is hard enough. I walked around in front of the Palace of Hell several times, but people were stunned and refused to accept me. Isn't there a saying that good people don't live long?
, the scourge will last for thousands of years, I don’t think I am a good person.
The old guy immediately hit me on the head and cursed: "Little bastard, are you scolding yourself or me? You were taught by me, are you saying that I am a disaster?"
"How dare you not dare? I am asking you to relax and take care of one generation. Just take care of yourself. Times are developing so fast now and plans cannot keep up with the changes. Who knows what will happen in the future? You should also do it now
Take a rest."
"Little bastard, you are still taking care of me. I won't talk about this in advance, let's talk about it now. You shouldn't be involved in this matter. Even I don't have much confidence. There are too many things involved.
It's far beyond your imagination. What you know now is just the tip of the iceberg. What you have to do now is to let go and try to stay away from this matter. This is also the most urgent thing for you to do."
I frowned, I had expected him to say this, but now that I have come this far, I can't be willing to let go. However, the old man's temper has always been the same. If I want to compete with him at this time,
It was estimated that I would definitely get a beating. So I hesitated to advance and asked: "Then tell me, what is going on? What are you going to do? How many secrets are there, and these secrets are actually
What?"
But the old guy rejected me without hesitation and said: "This is not something you should know. What I am looking for is too relevant. Knowing it will not do you any good, and I have nothing to tell you.
If I know everything, why do I need to come here?"
This makes some sense, but I don't believe him. But this old guy is too cunning, and it's really difficult to get something out of him.
I stepped back and said to him: "Then can you tell me what happened here? What problems did you encounter here? Also, what happened between you and that woman."
The old man was silent, and I felt his mood fluctuate a little. It took him a while before he spoke, but he asked me: "How much do you know? Where did you know it?"
After thinking about it, I replied: "I have seen the photos you left and the notes left by He Tao, but he only wrote about what happened after you rescued the woman on the bone ship and killed Scar Zhao.
I don’t know anymore. Now I really want to know who came in after that, and who got out alive in the end?”
The old man sighed and said, "Since you want to know, let me tell you the story! But we have to start from the beginning."
Back then, someone found the leader of the Seven Stars with a secret, which was the secret of the "Dragon Catch Notes". It was said that the first generation of dragon chasers left a note and hid it in his tomb, which contained a shocking story.
The big secret is that if anyone can get the note, not only can he have endless wealth, but he can also get a glimpse of the mysterious magic of the Dragon Chaser. To put it bluntly, if anyone gets the note and deciphers the secret,
You can reach the sky in one step and earn endless glory and wealth for a lifetime.
The leader of the Seven Stars believed it. At first, he didn't tell anyone, but took some of the experts from Pankou to go out and prepare to do the job alone.
The final result was a failure. Many of his men died, and they couldn't even get in. All they got was one piece of news, which was about the Taiji Tomb in Henan. The location there and some of the conditions inside.
After so many people died but got nothing, the leader of the Seven Stars was naturally unwilling to accept it, so he planned a trip to the Taiji Tomb in Henan Province. But this time he did not take on the matter alone, but made the biggest chopstick move in his life.
, almost all the famous masters on the road at that time were recruited, and a very impressive alliance of tomb robbers was formed, and they entered the Tai Chi Tomb in Henan together.
But he didn't expect that the tomb had been remodeled, which was completely inconsistent with the information he had obtained. As a result, he was defeated again. It seemed that one link led to another, and this time they got another piece of information about the Qinling Sacred Lake.
information.
At that time, the leader of the Seven Stars was extremely disappointed, so he took the initiative to withdraw. When he left, many people also quit with him. In the end, less than a quarter of the people who still persisted, mainly those from Scar Zhao, and that time the old man
He Tao and others also chose to stay and search for the location of the Qinling Sacred Lake based on the clues left for them by the leader of the Seven Stars for free.
After that, just as He Tao said in his notes, they found the village. However, they didn't expect that because of the leak of a piece of news, Scar Zhao would catch him, and the old man left in frustration.
But that night, he unexpectedly discovered that there was another group of people stationed not far from the village, Zhang Yinzhu's team. He brought many people over, even more than Scar Zhao.
After thinking about it, he went to meet Zhang Yinzhu. At that time, Zhang Yinzhu sounded very arrogant, saying that the leader of the Seven Stars had provided Scar Zhao with very few clues, and even nothing of value at all, but he had gotten some information about the Qinling Divine Lake.
Some of the confidential information was obtained from the leader of the Seven Stars at a large price.
Zhang Yinzhu was domineering and not good at scheming. He didn't feel anything was wrong. But the old man saw at a glance that it was a conspiracy played by the leader of the Seven Stars. What he was playing was like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind. He deceived
He killed everyone and treated them as pawns that could be driven for free.
He originally didn't want to wade into troubled waters again, but he couldn't resist Zhang Yinzhu's coercion and inducement. After all, he was alone at the time. How could Zhang Yinzhu let him go after hearing the "secret".
Under Zhang Yinzhu's coercion, they chased him all the way, and finally caught up with Scar Zhao when he got into the cave.
The two groups of people entered the cave one after another and followed the same path. When the bone boat was in chaos, the old man finally found an opportunity to break away from Zhang Yinzhu's control and took advantage of the chaos to dive from the water to the vicinity of the bone boat.
Originally, he wanted to go directly in, but at that time he saw Shui Ling in danger. After all, he still had feelings for Shui Ling and could not just watch her die, so he took action to save her.
After solving Scar Zhao, he didn't dare to show up. First, he didn't dare to see Shui Ling. At that time, he didn't know that Shui Ling's misunderstanding of him had been resolved. Second, at that time, he still had some illusions about the Qinling Sacred Lake.
, after all, we have already come in, how can we just give up? So, we swam deeper along the current.
But he didn't expect Shui Ling to chase him all the way down. The underground river became narrower and narrower as he went down, and the water flowed faster. In the end, he had almost lost control. If Shui Ling hadn't arrived at the critical moment, he might have died.
According to him, after the two met and resolved their misunderstanding, Shui Ling persuaded him to leave. Finally, he agreed, and the two returned to the Bone Ship.
"Then what?" I asked.
"Then? Then we came out and there were no more." The old guy said seriously.
I looked at him in a daze, was this such a happy ending? Why did I feel like I was listening to a comedy? This was completely different from my guesses and speculations.
"Old guy, you are too conservative. You made up such a story to fool me. I don't believe you didn't go in there. Otherwise, why are you so concerned about this matter?"
"Of course I'm interested when I see a big fight like this." The old man explained to me. "I've lived all my life. What kind of fights have I never seen? What kind of territory have I never scratched? But that time was an exception.
It has been in my heart for decades, and if I had not defeated this fight, I would not be able to rest in peace until my death. You should understand that if you encounter such a big fight, you will be remembered a lot."
Although this statement had a certain degree of credibility, I didn't believe it at all. I then asked: "You disappeared when you saw the bronze head. How did you know that there was a key to the gate of the divine lake in the Tai Chi tomb?
"
"I guess, I thought of it when I saw the bronze head. In fact, this is also a gamble on luck. Fortunately, I have good luck."
If I hadn't known something from Shuiyue, I would have almost believed this story. Now I know that he must be lying.
That bronze head was a scheme set up by Fourth Master Zhang, and the old man and Li Dalongtou were roped in. This also proves that those people had been preparing for this matter for a long time. As the conspirators, the old man and Li Dalongtou were actually able to do this.
Changing from being passive to being proactive in a short period of time not only shows their ability, but also shows that they have been mentally prepared for a long time and are even planning this matter. They are not just gambling on luck as he said.
There is also the simplest and most direct evidence. There are two roads leading here, and few people know about the other road. If he had not entered here, how could he know the layout of this place so well?
There were various signs that he was deliberately hiding something. I really wanted to ask, but in the end I held back. I knew his character too well. If it was something he didn’t want to talk about, no matter how much I asked him, he wouldn’t.
Said. It seems that we should wait for the opportunity to trick him and see if we can get any clues.
"What about that woman? Now that you have resolved the misunderstanding, why did you break up later?"
This time the old man was silent for a long time, and then he hit me hard on the head. "Why do you, a little kid, ask so many questions about adult matters?"
"Hey, old guy, I'm almost thirty, I've successfully escaped from being a little brat, right?"
"Okay, you're not a little brat, but don't gossip about me, and don't ask about these things, if you don't want me to beat your ass to pieces."
