Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 158 Changbai Mountain Ghost King Tomb (12)
I said: You said the question I was about to ask, we can't eat crystals here, right?How long do you plan to stay and how to solve the problem of eating?
Long Lin said: Since you are here, of course you are prepared, please rest assured, elder.

I thought what he said was very confident, so I didn't think too much about it. I walked in, and after a while, I saw the white jade staircase, and I walked back again, but we obviously didn't turn the corner, we just went straight all the way, it stands to reason Shouldn't return to the original place, Longlin said in a low voice: "Everyone is going to make a point, it's a bit weird here."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, everyone took out their weapons, only to see that the three caves formed in front of me were silent and there was no sound, but I couldn't help feeling guilty for a while, for fear that a monster would suddenly come out of the cave and eat people, but wait There was still no movement for a while, Longlin said: Let's go to the cave on the left and try again.After all, he stuck a long knife in the ground.

After walking around for a short time, I found that I still returned to the starting point, and the knife was proudly stuck in place, proving to us that it was indeed back.Longlin frowned more and more and said: If you go to the left, I don't believe there is no road here.

A group of people continued to move towards the last hole. After entering, they felt that the crystals here were different from those in other places, because they were thick and long, and all of them stood upright like sharp swords. It can’t be made into a sieve, and the ground is extremely slippery. I said: Everyone, be careful, the road is slippery here, don’t fall down.No one spoke, I vaguely heard a snicker, with a hint of ridicule, I blushed, pretending I didn't know anything.

There are clumps of crystals on both sides of the road. The road we walk is getting narrower and more dangerous. A big ax warrior said: Damn, I knocked everything here with an axe.

Long Lin said: Don't mess around, there is absolutely no chance of making mistakes here.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a bend, and at the end of the bend was a slightly smaller hole. Finally, it was no longer the white jade staircase, but it was different from the other caves, it was no longer a faint blue light. The transmitted blue light is much stronger than the natural light of crystals we see.

Long Lin clenched the long knife in his hand and said: Be careful, the crystal cannot emit such a strong light.But the roads here can’t be rushed up, they can only go forward one by one. Longlin walked to the entrance of the cave first, and I was right behind him. Through his shoulder, I could see a huge stone in the middle of the small space inside the cave. From the crystal coffin, the blue light is what is transmitted from the coffin, Longlin frowned and said: "This is a big deal.

I said: What's the matter, I didn't see any danger here.

Long Lin sighed and said: That's because you don't understand the ancestral precepts of the Tianling Clan at all. Apart from the big rules related to dragons, there are also many small rules. For example, don't stay in places with strange coffins. One of them, because the peculiar structure of the tomb must have its unusual features, and the enemies of the Tianling clan are a group of ghosts. Since they are ghosts, they must be related to the tomb, so you must keep a respectful distance when you see a strange tomb. Here is It is no coincidence that there is such a strange coffin tomb. I think Elder He may not know the internal situation here, otherwise he would never let us come here. .

I glanced at those big ax warriors and said, "It's inconvenient for me to tell the Tianling tribe warriors about something, but you can't rely on this relationship now, and it's not against me to say it. The Holy Land of the Spirit Race should also have a forbidden area, right?

Longlin said: That's right, that's a huge deep well. It is said that there are very strange things in it. If someone enters rashly, bad things will be released.

I nodded and said: It’s good for everyone to know, this is also a forbidden place, but after my investigation, I found that there are no strange things in it. There are only two reasons for the so-called forbidden place. One is that the well is actually Painful Blood Origin. The road to a bright world, but the demons have not recovered on a large scale, and the danger does not exist in the short term. Second, there is a very important person staying there. Maybe the high-level people of the Tianling clan don't want everyone to know his existence, but Shenjing There is nothing peculiar about it in itself.

Long Lin frowned and said: Who is this person?

I shook my head and said: There is an agreement, not to tell others about his details.

Long Lin suddenly realized and nodded: I know who he is?Brothers of the Big Axe clan, the elder you have been looking for for many years is in that well.

This sentence immediately caused an uproar, especially the fighters of the Big Axe clan. It seemed that they wanted to go back and look for the Peacock Spirit King immediately. The people parted and everyone walked up to me, bowed deeply and said: "We, the brothers of the Daxue clan, thank you."

Longlin said: You can only represent yourself now, the big axe of the Tianling clan has long since lost your name.

The man laughed and said: As long as the King Ling is still there, I don't care about anything.

I nodded and said: So for those so-called forbidden places, we should investigate clearly, and don't blindly believe in these things.

Long Lin said: What the elder taught is that maybe we have been living in lies for thousands of years without knowing it, and this place might just be a piece of ordinary crystal ore.

At this time, someone said loudly: "In this case, let's open this coffin to have a look, maybe we will find something shocking."

Long Lin pondered for a while and said: Elder He told me this secret way, and he told me not to touch anything lightly after I came in. I can't break my promise to him at the beginning. This is not superstition. What I want to say to myself Keep promises.

Hearing what he said, no one spoke anymore, and stood silently for a while, and someone said: Since we are not going to lift the coffin, let's go out, we can't be too aggrieved to stay here.

Everyone from the front team changed to the back team, walked out of the cave in one line, and we returned to the stone steps. Everyone dispersed, and Longlin took out a celadon gourd that looked like a flagon from his clothes and said, "Who wants to drink water?"

Could this be the source of dry food and water he prepared?It's just a joke. When you meet something that can drink, you will drink it in one gulp. What is ironic is that many people have pulled out small copper bowls from their bodies and asked for water from Longlin. I poured them one by one, and soon I discovered the strangeness, because he filled everyone's bowls with water, but the porcelain pot still had clear water, as if it couldn't be poured out, just like the legendary treasure pot. Ask: Brother Long, how deep is your kettle?So many bowls were not emptied.

Longlin smiled and said: This is a unique kettle for the Celestials. In the early stage of the Holy War, humans often hid in secret places for a long time in order to avoid the demons from chasing and killing them. However, carrying a large amount of food and water is easy to expose and inconvenient. Later, I don’t know who It is found that the things made of this special material can hold a large amount of food and water sources, which is also the most critical factor for the survival of human beings, but there are very few such things left, and only the elder-level Tianling people are eligible to have them. This is your father's relic.

I felt a little sad suddenly, sighed and said: You guys have at least seen my father, but I don't have any memory at all. I really hope that time can be turned back so that I can see my biological parents.

Longlin said: The only wish of the elder before his death was that you could become a talent. The hope of revitalizing the long knife clan in the future is all on you. We will risk our lives and wish you to complete this matter.

I smiled wryly and said: I know my own weight, and I definitely don't have such abilities.

Longlin looked up to the sky and sighed, but this time he didn't speak.

After that, he poured out a lot of food in the shape of porridge from the porcelain pot. After sharing the food, everyone found a place to rest. I closed my eyes and tried to recall the appearance of my parents, but there was no memory for my reference. They were like a couple. A transparent person has only a rough outline, but no specific appearance.

Suddenly I stood up from the ground, because the surrounding environment has changed to the fragrance of birds and flowers, the grass in front of me, the green hills in the distance, everything has become so beautiful, I know I have entered my dream again, different This time there are no bloody killings, corpses like mountains, and blood flowing into rivers. Could it be that my ancestors have changed their style and want me to experience the beauty of the bright world?

I hadn't thought about it yet, and suddenly a baby-like laughter came from behind me, and I turned around and saw a young and beautiful mother on the grass, holding a kite in the shape of a phoenix, running on the grassland, behind her was a The one-year-old baby, chubby like a meat ball, staggered and ran behind her mother. Not far behind her, a middle-aged man with long hair looked at the mother and the child with a happy smile on his face. Standing with arms folded, there is a long knife wrapped in sharkskin hanging on the left waist. Judging from the shape of the handle, it is my "blood-cursed knife", and this person's facial features are very similar to mine. Could it be that he is my father?

This surprised me very much. I was carefully distinguishing his appearance when I saw four sturdy Skyling warriors striding over. One of them was Longlin when he was young. He was much stronger than now, and one person walked behind my father and said something in a low voice, the smile on my father's face froze immediately, and he said loudly: "Ah Cai, take Xiao Zhuang to play for a while, I have Things need to be discussed.

The mother didn't even turn her head and said: "Go and do your work, I will take my son to play."

My father followed the four of them towards the foot of the mountain. I glanced at my mother, and immediately followed my father, only to hear a well-built man say: "Old man, you have to understand this matter."

My father said: There is nothing to think about, I am right about this matter.

The thin man said: No one said you were wrong, it was that woman...

Before he could finish speaking, my father immediately stopped and stared at him and said word by word: Brother, this is my family business, A Cai is my woman, and Xiao Zhuang is my son. Take it from me, you understand?
The thin man looked a little embarrassed and said: I understand what you mean, but Wu Zi has a reason, you have to figure it out, everyone let you here because you are a descendant of He Jin, but it is the old man who is going to trouble you this time.

The father looked at the blue sky for a long time and said, "No matter what, if I can't even protect my child and woman, what kind of face is born in this world? You go back and tell the old man that the child is innocent, and I must kill him." Raise them to adulthood, as for my own offspring will definitely have one in the future, please let him rest assured.

The thin man said anxiously: "Fifth son, the old man told me personally that Wu Huashen said that it is impossible for you to get married with this woman, and he will never agree with you to live with this woman."

The more I listened, the more frightened I became. If this is really He Kangtian, from their dialogue, I'm afraid I'm not his biological child. How embarrassing is this for me?So who is my real father?

Father said: Brother, even if you make up lies to lie to me, you have to tell a decent one. How can Wu Huashen be so boring that he even worries about such things?You are simply unreasonable.

The thin man said: I dare not question anyone, I just brought this sentence to you today, it is up to you whether you want to listen or not.

The father gave him a contemptuous look and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it doesn't mean anything to me. I am a man who stands up to the sky. If I can't even protect the woman and child I like, then what am I going to do with a long knife?" elder?There is no need to discuss this matter, so save yourself some effort.

The thin man sighed and said: You are just a rock, without any twists and turns, forget it, you can persuade him, I can't bother with this.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, his father turned his head to look at Longlin and the three of them and asked: Do you want me to do such unrighteous and untrustworthy things?
Long Lin said in a low voice: Brothers have agreed, if the elders need it, we dare to fight with the old bones of the Sky Spirit Clan.

His father patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: Good boy, I finally saw you right.However, he frowned again and said: "I can't talk about desperately, I think it may not be there yet."

Longlin said: "Elder, you haven't been back for a long time. Those people in the clan wish they could eat you. Except for the big axe, the sharp sword and the longbow all advocate killing you to cover up the so-called scandal. I said desperately is not an exaggeration at all."

The father's face changed drastically: "Really?"Are these people even meddling in my family affairs?
Longlin said: It's a lie to meddle in your family affairs. Their fundamental purpose is to snatch our influence, and there are some stubborn old bones. What they mean... At this point, Longlin stopped talking and watched carefully He glanced at his father.

He snorted and said: Are they talking about my life experience again?
Long Lin nodded and said: That's right, you are not in the clan, there are not one or two people who make a big fuss about this, and the power of the evil generals has grown stronger these years, the Tianling clan was already worried, so things are getting more and more complicated .

The father seemed a little impatient, and said: "I don't want to hear about these things anymore. Anyway, if someone uses this to disadvantage my family and blinds him, even if the God of Five Flowers comes in person, I will not make any concessions."

Longlin said: I understand what you mean, we will stay here from now on and will not go back.

The father shook his hand and said: What I need is not for everyone to be unlucky together, you should go back, at least let me know something.

Longlin's expression seemed to be a little hesitant, and he said after a long time: "Elder, or else we take our brother to seek refuge..." Before he could finish his sentence, his father scolded angrily: "If you are my subordinate, it will be best if you say this in the future." Stop talking, since I am an elder in the Sky Spirit Race, I will not betray him in this life. They can betray me, but I cannot sell my soul.

I suddenly felt great reverence for my father. Although I knew he might not be my real father, the man in front of me was an upright man. For the woman he loved, he tolerated everything for her. He would rather die than betray his own beliefs. Maybe he is using this method to atone for He Jin, but no matter what, such a person deserves the respect of others.

Long Lin blushed and said: I understand, Elder, if you can, I hope you can still think about your future, after all so many brothers count on you.

Father's expression became much calmer again, he sighed and said: I know it well, try to keep a low profile after you go back, many things are not up to you to decide.

Longlin said: Yes.He waved to the other two and walked back.

At this time, my mother hugged me, who was already asleep on her shoulders covered in sweat, and returned to my father. At this time, her expression was not as happy as when she was playing with me. She looked a little worried and said: "What happened over there?" up?

The father stroked her long hair pitifully and said: "There's nothing wrong, you don't have to worry, your task now is to take care of your son."

The mother's eyes were red and she said: "Brother Tian, ​​I'm the one who dragged you down."

Father said: Do we still need to talk about this?You and I are together sincerely, even if you take everything from me, as long as I have you, I will be satisfied.After finishing speaking, my father took my mother into his arms, but I saw two strange servants striding over from the front of my father and the back of my mother. The ones used by the Tianling warriors are different, they are in the shape of a golden dragon. The other has white hair and a tall figure. He holds a long sword with a black wooden handle in his left hand. The scabbard is actually wrapped with white cloth. The plainest scabbard I've ever seen.

When they walked in, the father patted the mother on the back and said softly: You go back first, I have some things to deal with.

Mother didn't seem to notice that there was anyone behind her. She nodded happily and contentedly, and walked towards home. Father stood still and stared at the two of them. When they gradually approached, I suddenly felt the slightest chill. I don't know if it's because of my heart, or the temperature has really dropped, but in short, the atmosphere in this land of green grass is gradually dignified.

The two stopped three meters away from their father, and the three stood in the shape of "pin" on the left and the right. The father glanced at the two respectively, and said with a sneer: "It's such a big deal, even the two of you are involved."
