The group of people continued to move forward, and the pace accelerated a lot. The scenery along the way was no different. There were still passages, underground rivers, other shore flowers, and whale oil shining with countless fireflies.
I walked very hard and my shoulders hurt, which was caused by the shoulder straps of my backpack. But I didn’t regret packing so many antiques. After all, these things could help me earn countless colorful money. I just regretted it at that time.
You should throw away more useless things in Shale's backpack and put all these valuable antiques in his backpack. This will save effort and make money.
"There is a fork in the road." Mao Tianlin walked first.
Sure enough, there is a crossroad not far ahead, which is similar to the layout of the door I walked through before and the Jingmen where I met Wu Zijin. The underground river also separates here and follows the passage, but the flowers on the other side are not at this fork in the road.
At the end.
At the other end of the fork in the passage, the underground river was calm and without the slightest ripples, but the other end of the flower on the other side was still blood-red, constantly surging, and clearly differentiated.
"More than two thousand other shore flowers."
Shen Yuan murmured to himself, "Based on the number of people per flower, there are nearly 300,000 people who died in the flower."
As I walked along, I was actually making calculations in my mind, and the results I came up with were similar to those of Shen Yuan. There was a mural of the Battle of Changping at the entrance, and there were Zhao soldiers in the flowers on the other side. The number of people was almost comparable. Thinking about those who died in
The people in the flower roots on the other side must be the soldiers who surrendered from the Zhao Kingdom in the Battle of Changping, and this eternal life palace must also be built by these soldiers.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
The underground river water boiled violently in an instant, and we quickly leaned on the edge of the channel and stared at the movements of the flowers on the other side.
"They are going to sink." Xue Yue calmly looked at Bianhua and said.
Sure enough, the petals of the Flower of the Other Shore closed up piece by piece, changing from the blooming state into buds. All the living dead in the middle were wrapped in them. Slowly, the Flower of the Other Shore began to sink to the bottom of the water, and the boiling water of the underground river gradually became calmer, and it also began to
The blood-red color returned to its original clarity in just two or three minutes.
"What's going on?" I asked Shen Yuan in a low voice.
"They sank." Shen Yuan said.
I had black lines all over my head and said, "Little Master, I'm not blind. I just saw them sinking and that's why I asked you what was going on."
"It's six o'clock now."
Shale said inexplicably, "Six o'clock in the morning."
"What's the meaning?"
I didn't understand why he made such a nonsensical statement, and I unconsciously looked at my watch. It was indeed six o'clock, and asked, "It's six o'clock, so what?"
Shale glanced at his own
The electronic watch quietly pointed at Xue Yue and said in a low voice: "She said that in the creek next to where we camped, we saw the flower of the other side, and it would emerge from the creek one night every month.
It will sink to the bottom of the stream again at dawn. When we saw the other shore flower, it was about two o'clock in the morning. Now they have all sunk, exactly at six o'clock in the morning. So, Brother Ye, I think this is a kind of other shore flower.
Habit."
After Shale’s reminder, I suddenly remembered what Xue Yue had said. The flowers in front of me were indeed in line with what she said. The only difference was that the flowers Xue Yue saw at that time had no living stamens in the center of the petals.
The dead man lay on it.
Shen Yuan nodded and said: "It makes sense. In other words, the reason why we can see the other shore flower today is because of coincidence, it happens to be the day when it blooms on a specific day every month."
Hearing Shen Yuan's words, I was a little speechless, and on a specific day of every month, the flower of the other side happened once a month, just like the arrival of a woman's aunt.
"Then what do we do now?" I asked.
Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's rest where we are for a while and eat something."
An inexplicable anger grew from the bottom of my heart. When I wanted to fish for ancient relics, Shen Yuan, a shabby old man, said he wanted to leave. Now that the flowers on the other side have sunk and there is nothing left to fish for, he wanted to stop and rest again, always contradicting me.
But it’s also my fault, why am I so indecisive? Why do I have to ask him about everything? Isn’t it better to make my own decision? But having said that, among our group, basically all of us believe in this shabby old man Shen Yuan. I
Every time I propose, I don’t get everyone’s response and support. The dragon on the platform doesn’t dare to kill me, but it still wants me to let it go. It seems that a person still has to have strength by his side. Everyone is used to leaning towards the strong.
Come on, although I may have been a very powerful person before my reincarnation, I am still a bit of a loser now.
A small pile of whale oil was dug out from the copper pipe, with a few burning wicks stuck randomly on it. Sha Le and Wu Zijin were baking cans, and the rest of the people were sitting in a circle around the whale oil.
Shale heated up a can and handed it to me first, then looked at me with a silly smile.
I don’t know how I feel. Shale lied to me for two whole years, but he saved my life. This feeling is a bit awkward. I looked at him with complicated eyes. I didn’t know if he was really honest or just pretending to be stupid.
, said: "You look silly when you smile, do you know that?"
Shale touched his head awkwardly.
"never mind."
I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, little sir, I don't blame you. Although you have lied to me for so long, I am generous, little sir. It's just... why are you pretending to be stupid? I saw you giggling.
You look like I really want to flatter you
A meal."
"I'm really not pretending."
Silly smiled and continued baking cans, "It's because I'm honest that my boss sent me here to monitor you."
"Forget it, forget it, forget it." I waved my hand again, not wanting to continue this topic that was causing me a dilemma.
"Brother Ye Zi, tell me if you killed those Zhao people in the roots of the flower on the other side."
Wu Zijin asked me while baking cans: "Shenlong said that you killed 77,490,000 people here."
"Yes, I remembered it too." Shen Yuan also said.
Everyone stopped moving and stared at me.
"Well……"
I was choked by the can, mainly because I was frightened by Wu Zijin's words: "No... It's impossible, I... How do I know, I really don't remember anything, it's none of my business
, and I just made an estimate, and although there are many Zhao people in the roots of the flowers on the other side, there is absolutely no way there are 490,000, close to 500,000."
"Not all of the dead are here."
Shen Yuan said: "Furthermore, if we include the number of people in Jingguan, even if there are not 490,000 people, it's not much different."
I feel guilty. I don't want to believe what Shenlong said, but I have to believe it. But I really don't remember anything. In my subconscious, there are a hundred people who don't want to be a murderous person, but they still use this kind of method.
Killing people in cruel and strange ways.
"Can you have a good meal?"
I yelled a little impatiently, "These people have been dead for more than two thousand years. Why are they talking about these useless things? Find the Taiyan Monument, find the soul summoning order, and find Wu Zipei. This is the most important thing, right?"
.”
"Why is it useless?"
Shen Yuan said: "Analyzing these things can help us straighten out many things."
"Then what did you straighten out, ah!"
With a dark face, I said to Shen Yuan: "Tell me, what did you straighten out? Old man Shen, to put it bluntly, among our group of people, I admit that I am a burden and a waste, but! You can
You are much better than me. From the time you entered here, you can tell yourself what role you played. You asked me to walk away, but you were lucky. I almost died eight times, eight times! Do you know! I met someone.
, you still can't beat it. If your grandfather hadn't appeared in time with Shale, we would have died long ago. When we met the dragon, you knelt down faster than anyone else. Well, when you saw the flower of the other side, you were also confused.
, so valuable... No, you don’t analyze and straighten out the Taiyan Monument, which is so important, but you want to straighten out the fact that I killed more than 400,000 people. Have you made a mistake? Ah! I know nothing, little master.
