In the next ten minutes, Old Man Bai fell into deep thought. He frowned and kept looking at the village, then at Chen Zhi and the others, but never glanced at Bai Xiaowei.
Finally, Old Man Bai straightened his back, raised his head and said to Chen Zhi,
"Let my grandson go, I'll tell you everything..."
After hearing this, Fat Wei glanced at Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi nodded to him. Fat Wei picked up the unconscious Bai Xiaowei and walked out.
After seeing his grandson leaving the room, Old Man Bai's expression became slightly calmer. When Fat Wei came back, he sighed softly and told Chen Zhi and Fat Wei the past story.
"That's really a person I'm in love with..." Old Man Bai said, his face filled with memories of the past.
"After I killed those offenders, he brought two cans of soju and gave me one, and we drank on the eaves. The moon that day was very round, round and bright~~, like a big circle
Same as the plate~~
He told me that their village was shaped like this. They had lived here since ancient times and had suffered a fate they did not want to bear.
Then he also told me that that thing is coming out and they must stop it, otherwise the world will be destroyed. There is sin in each of them~~~
When he said this, I saw his pupils turned red again. The red was very beautiful, as bright as blood, shining under the moon~~~"
"What is that thing...?" Chen Zhi asked.
"I don't know..." Old Man Bai shook his head and said,
"I know he is not an ordinary person, I didn't ask him too much~~
After that, we settled here, married a wife and had children, and kept in touch with him. I also visited their village several times. Those people were different from the people outside. They were as open-minded, tenacious, and skilled as he was.
Extraordinary, like martial arts masters. But these people are very loyal and have no airs. When they are excited, their eyes will be blood red, like rubies.
In those years, I have been helping them to do things, such as going to the foot of the mountain to buy daily necessities and consumables, selling some antiquities, and sometimes buying weapons and metal~~. Of course, I have been trying to protect their safety, and I have never interacted with them.
Anyone mentioned this.
But one night seven years ago, he suddenly appeared. He looked very hurried, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere.
He told me that all the young men in their village had to do something very important, and it had to be done immediately, otherwise the thing would come out.
But their own strength is not enough, and they need to cooperate with an extremely powerful organization, otherwise the matter will not succeed at all!
However, this organization is very large and has a vicious style, so it is unlikely that they will allow their bloodline to remain in the world.
If this thing fails, this organization will definitely not leave anyone alive, they will all die, and their descendants left in the village will have to resign themselves to their fate...
After saying these words, he left!"
"You've never seen a white blade since then, right?" Chen Zhi asked after hearing this.
"No!",
Mr. Bai shook his head gently,
"I never saw him again from then on. A few months later, the mountain there collapsed~~, those people suddenly disappeared, and then there was really nothing...
I have been thinking of ways every day for the past seven years to find that village! If there are still children in that village, I have the responsibility to take care of them. If these children are still alive, they should all have grown up by now...
"
"I understand..." Chen Zhi nodded and said,
"So, where is that giant knife?
I checked, and no museum has ever collected a giant sword of that size. Was that giant sword taken away by Bai Ren?"
"No!",
Mr. Bai shook his head seriously, and then his face began to harden, as if he was making a great determination. Finally, he raised his face and looked at Chen Zhi,
"He didn't take the knife away! He left it with me.
That knife is at our feet now!"
"ah?",
When Chen Zhi and Fat Wei heard Mr. Bai's words, they immediately stood up and stepped on them with their feet.
Judging from the sounds coming from under his feet, it was absolutely desperate down here. From the moment he came in, Chen Zhi had already dispersed the airflow, but he didn't feel any compartments down there, which was simply incredible.
"Is there a universe down here?" Chen Zhi raised his head and looked at Old Man Bai.
"Yes!",
Old Man Bai nodded seriously,
"This knife was left to me before he left. He also left me a large amount of money to build a secret room and hide the knife.
He said that even though there were still eggs in the nest, if they died, their offspring would probably not be saved.
But this knife is the only thing Bai Qi left in the world. If he doesn’t want this knife to turn into ashes with them, just leave it to me~~
Later, Bai Ren gave me a few more drawings of talisman paper, which looked weird. He asked me to follow this pattern and find a craftsman to dip it in fishy water and draw it on the wall panel below. He said that from now on, no one would find it.
There's something hidden down here!
After Bai Ren left, I did as he asked. I first hired someone to dig a large darkroom underground. After setting it up, I built a small building on top of the darkroom to hide the darkroom below.
.
From then on, I lived here guarding this knife every day. It was just like what he said. After so many years, no one has ever thought about this knife! No one found out that there is something hidden underneath~
~~
As for the darkroom below, I have never been there again, and my children don’t even know there is such a place under the house!”
"Understood……",
Chen Zhi nodded gently, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Old Man Bai and said seriously,
"Mr. Bai, now that we have said this.
Then you can take us down to have a look. I want to see what this giant sword looks like. If possible, I will take it out~~"
"this……",
After hearing Chen Zhi's request, Old Man Bai was obviously hesitant. Although he had always answered Chen Zhi's questions without any concealment, from just now, Chen Zhi could vaguely feel that this old man had a certain knowledge of this knife.
He has a strong sense of responsibility and does not want to hand it over to outsiders.
"Maybe I will return this knife to its original owner~~",
Chen Zhi took out the lighter from his arms and lit a cigarette.
"Mr. Bai, as you just said, if there are still some children in that village, they should have grown up by now. I will find that village, take you in with me, and return this knife to them~~~
Let me tell you another sad news. As far as I know, your old friend Bai Ren died seven years ago, deep in the village.
I guess he died for a belief, and preventing that thing from coming out should be his biggest wish before his death~~~
