Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Painful Blood Source

To be honest, although I don't agree with Gemini's approach, I really admire him in my heart. This man is a typical Tianling warrior, daring to act, and what he wants to decipher is actually the secret buried in Wang Hao's heart, but Peacock King Ling said, now is not the time to crack it, what should he do if he entered the cave so recklessly? Thinking in my heart, we walked out of the castle, and suddenly a person used a mirror to reflect light on the twins. The light in the castle is very dark all year round, and the sudden light made the twins a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes, the man in the distance suddenly soared into the sky, jumped in front of Gemini, grabbed his wrist with both hands, and pulled him forward, Gemini stumbled and fell out, and the few helpers he brought seemed to want to do something However, that person punched them one by one, knocking them away with ease, and the people who had formed a circle immediately dispersed.

Gemini waited for his eyesight to recover, and said with a long knife in his hand, "Who are you?" The man was dressed in green clothes and wearing a pair of sunglasses. He was not short, but he was very thin. The man did not speak, but he also pulled out a long knife from his waist. When I saw the blade, I almost missed it. Shouting out, it turns out that this person is actually He Zhuang. Gemini didn't seem to recognize him, but then He Zhuang tore off his wig and sunglasses. At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and the steel knife in Gemini's hand fell to the ground with a bang. He said excitedly: " Brother, why are you?"

I was also surprised and delighted and said: "Zhuangzi, where have you been these days, many things have happened." He Zhuang didn't speak, and his expression was quite gloomy. I noticed that his two eye sockets were a little dark, and his face was a little blue, which was a little different from his usual appearance.Although He Zhuang's face is not so red, but in comparison, his complexion is not so ugly, I think he may be sick. He Zhuang said to me strangely: "What are you doing here? Are you courting death?" I was taken aback and said, "Looking for death? No one here will target us."

He Zhuang said: "That's what you take for granted. From the moment you enter here, you are destined to die here." Gemini had a happy expression at first, but after hearing what he said, he also felt that something was wrong, and said, "Brother, what do you mean by saying that?" And the person who grew up with him also came over at this time and said: "Zhuangzi, I haven't seen you for so many years, are you okay?" People with long knives surrounded him, and He Zhuang said darkly: "Thanks to you, I'm doing well, at least I wasn't killed by the soldiers of the Tianling tribe."

The twins said: "Brother, what are you talking about, whoever dares to touch you will have trouble with the long knife, everyone will fight with him." He Zhuang said: "Shut your mouth, there's nothing wrong with you brat." He Zhuang is definitely not such a character. I haven't seen him for a while, and he suddenly seems to be a different person. I naturally thought that someone must be pretending to be him, and said: "Who are you?" He Zhuang said: "Don't pretend to be smart, I am He Zhuang, and I came here this time to save you." I said, "I really don't think this is a dangerous place."

He Zhuang said: "That's because you are too confused, the Tianling clan is not someone like you who should intervene." After that, he raised his knife and said loudly towards the entrance of the castle: "I'm here, don't you dare to see me?" Everyone turned their heads in unanimous agreement, only to see a person walking out with a serious face, it was the middle-aged man who stopped Gemini from fighting with A Xuetang at the beginning, he said: "He Zhuang, I didn't expect you Dare to come back?" He Zhuang said: "I'm not guilty, why didn't I dare to come back, but you people, under the banner of the Tianling clan, gave yourself a face, and secretly did all the despicable and nasty things."

The man said: "I warn you, talking nonsense here will cost you your life." He Zhuang said: "I came here today just to bring my friend back. As for your account, I will settle it with you." The man laughed loudly and said, "You are a traitor from the Sky Spirit Clan. Since I have seen you, how can you let me go? Do you think you can come when you say you come, and you can go when you say you want to go?" The fighters of the Tianling tribe were divided into two groups, the long swords basically stood beside He Zhuang, and the rest surrounded the door. Looking at the expressions of most of them, they still haven't figured out what to do.

He Zhuang sneered and said, "Are you scaring me by relying on the number of people?" The man said: "People of the Tianling clan never win with numbers, you should know this better than me." He Zhuang said: "That's great, but do you have the courage to face me alone?" The man said: "If you have the courage to say it, it doesn't matter, you will know it once you try it." He Zhuang sneered, there was no such strange pattern on the blade, obviously it was not his original knife, so I doubted the authenticity of this He Zhuang even more. As soon as the man moved his hand, he didn't see what he did at all. A longbow appeared in his hand. There was only a sound of strings, and then there was a loud bang. Suddenly, a feathered arrow flew into the sky, the man's face changed, and then he calmed down and said: "Not bad, I haven't seen you in ten years, your kung fu is beyond my imagination, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant when you come back this time. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen people rushing out of the castle. They were all young people holding bows and arrows. He Zhuang also held a long knife and glared at each other. The atmosphere became tense instantly. He Zhuang seemed very confident and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you back away." Gemini said: "But brother..." He Zhuang stared at him fiercely and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? I'm not joking with you, so back off." Gemini said: "But they don't obey the rules?" He Zhuang said: "I have never been afraid of these people."

Before he could finish his sentence, he only heard a person say: "Aren't you ready to go back here? Hurry up and disperse, or he will really turn his face and deny anyone." Because the scene was too tense, no one noticed that another person entered the territory of the Tianling clan. I followed the reputation and saw the angry grandpa who appeared in the gloomy alley strode in. It was like boiling oil into water , the warriors of the Tianling tribe started to clamor again, and saw four or five strong people shouting loudly: "The angry man, it is the angry man who has returned."

Holding a steel ax in his hand, he walked up to He Zhuang and said, "It's nice to say that you don't win by numbers, and that's what you are doing now." Facing him, the side holding the bow seemed to restrain himself a bit, the middle-aged man said: "Anger, I didn't expect it to be you, why are you with this kind of person, don't you know his true identity?" The angry man said: "Do you think I'm a fool? You know the wicked things you guys do, don't think you can fool me." The man sneered and did not respond, the angry man said: "We are here today to take people away, you should have no objection?" The man said: "It's still the same sentence, the Sky Spirit Clan is not a place where anyone can come and leave whenever they want." The angry man said disdainfully: "If I want to leave, can you stay?" The man said: "Of course I can't do it, but someone can accept you." The angry man said: "Who is it? Could it be that the dragon guards are here? Do you think I'm so easy to deceive?" The man smiled smugly: "I really didn't lie to you, the dragon guards really came." I'm a little puzzled, aren't the warriors of the Sky Spirit clan the guardians of the Dragon clan?I haven't figured out this truth yet, but I saw a dozen or so old men who seemed to be practicing Tai Chi every day to maintain their health had appeared at the gate of the castle. I never thought much about them. Spirit race warriors, is this a group of very powerful people? Seeing them, the angry man's expression changed drastically. He thrust the steel ax into the ground, made a loud beep, and said, "Are you old bastards here to intervene in this matter?" One of the old men said with a smile: "It's not that we want to come, but we have to come because of entrustment." The angry man said: "What a joke, the Tianling clan needs to rely on you to protect them now? Could it be that the previous actions of the Tianling clan to suppress the enemy ended up weakening their own strength?" The old man said: "This is your internal matter. I don't know about it. I came here this time just to be ordered. If you want to do something that violates the rules of the Sky Spirit Clan here, I'm afraid you can't do it!" The man also said: "The traitor will not be eradicated. The Tianling clan will never have peace. Now it is just a period of pain. There will always be a day when it will pass. You don't need to scare these children with such words." The angry man laughed and said: "What a joke, we have been working together for more than ten years, am I a big talker, no wonder you are more confident now, it turns out that the dragon guards are looking after your house, it is not easy. " Before he finished speaking, an old man jumped up and grabbed the angry man's face. He stretched out his fingers, his fingernails were faintly shining with purple light, the angry man shouted loudly, and raised his ax to strike. People who are more than ten meters away can feel it, but the old man seems to be able to turn over at will in mid-air. Under the vigorous counterattack of the angry man, he jumped back backwards, stood on the ground and nodded: "The descendant of King Ling really deserves his reputation." It turns out that the angry man is a descendant of the Peacock Spirit King, so he is probably his son. The Spirit King asked me to send a jade token to his son at night. I didn't expect to meet the Lord in the morning. It's just that the son of the Spirit King would spend all day Wandering in the dark alleys? At this time, several old men started fighting at the same time, and the angry man was not afraid at all, he held a huge ax and fought with them, at this moment I heard someone whispering beside my ear: "Hurry up and leave." Looking around, we didn't find who said anything to us, but it seemed that the angry man couldn't resist, He Zhuang suddenly leaned forward, stretched out his hand and pushed forward, just a simple push, but the several old people backed away together Go, retreated a full ten steps before stopping, their expressions changed, and someone asked: "What does Yin Yang Scholar have to do with you?" He Zhuang stopped talking nonsense, waved to us, and went to the entrance. I didn't care too much, pulled Axue and ran after He Zhuang, and Yang Chenglong followed closely.At this time, the warriors of the Sky Spirit Tribe began to clamor, some seemed to want to chase us, but people with big axes and long knives stopped in front of them. The scenery in front of me changed completely.We are standing on a steep mountain peak, the heat wave is rolling in, this is an isolated peak, the mountain is extremely steep, and there are strange peaks all around, the sky is blood red, the sun cannot be seen, but it is not dark, And a strong smell of blood came over his face. I looked at the bottomless abyss under my feet, and felt dizzy for a while. He Zhuang turned around and said to us: "Don't speak loudly, we are in a very dangerous place now, once the creatures here are alarmed, would die horribly." We nodded without speaking, and then He Zhuang and the angry man strode down the stairs built on the Gufeng mountain. The stairs here have no guardrails. Every step I take is terrified. I just feel that it is me. The craziest thing I've ever done in my life. After walking for a few minutes, I suddenly found a very strange "person" squatting on the protruding mountain of a lone peak very close to us, because he is a person, he has two bat-like wings, It is said that he is not a human, but he has a human face, and he has limbs and a body. At this time, facing us, the pair of wings wrap the body tightly, with only a pair of feet exposed, and he seems to be in the air with his eyes closed. sleep. He Zhuang waved his hand at us, signaling not to make any noise, and tiptoed down.After walking a few steps, it was still on the opposite mountain peak, and more than a dozen of these creatures suddenly appeared, squatting motionless on the mountain body, closing their eyes and resting their minds. Some of them did not close their wings. Clearly, as if taking drugs for a long time, the skin is sallow. I walked down a few more steps, and I had a bad idea. This time I saw this creature on the mountain where we were, but it didn't squat on the mountain, but on the steps we had to pass. Its wings spread slightly, and the steps basically had no place to stay. There was only about half a foot of space close to the edge of the cliff. That is to say, if you want to go over, you must volley half of your body above the cliff. Thinking of this, the cold sweat on my forehead immediately dripped out. He Zhuang turned around and made a gesture to us, indicating that we should never touch it. Seeing my expression, he came over and patted my shoulder. I nodded pretending to be calm, and cold sweat fell out of my forehead. Zhuang frowned and thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said to the angry man, "You go first, I'll be the last one." I knew he was going to meet me, but even if there was someone to help me, I still couldn't restrain my legs from feeling weak, because I have a fear of heights, even in a well-protected high-rise building, I would feel dizzy, let alone in this situation.Going down the steps on the mountain, I have almost used up all my courage, but now I need to move half of my body into the air like juggling, which is too frightening. But don't let me think too much, the angry man walked over first, although he was unusually tall, but he was also very light, without stagnation at all, followed by Ashe, although she was a girl, but when she followed the watcher, I don't know how many times I have climbed the Snowy Mountain. Of course, this kind of behavior is not a threat to her, and it is even easier than the angry man. Next came Yang Chenglong, although he was also trembling a little, but he was much better than me, at least he didn't break out in a cold sweat, and I was still sweating profusely, with cold hands and feet. It finally came to me, I hesitated again and again, I didn’t even want to go there, but wanted to go back to the original place, but He Zhuang forced me to go there, the angry man stretched out the handle of the ax and let me grab it, which made me feel a little more stable .Even so, when I turned my body to the abyss, I still couldn't help shaking. This feeling was so terrifying that I suddenly stopped there, unable to move, because my brain was already numb. Know what to do next. Everyone was in a hurry, but there was nothing they could do. No one dared to move around. It would be very troublesome if I accidentally fell or woke up the thing. After a stalemate for a while, He Zhuang slapped me on the head with a knife, and finally Bring me back to my senses. But the trouble still came. When I successfully passed the monster, I sighed involuntarily. Although I only made a small sound, I still startled it. I only heard a light slap, and it jumped up. For a moment, stand up straight. This monster is about the same height as us, and its expression suddenly becomes extremely angry. When it opens its eyes, it has no pupils, only two white eyeballs. The fact is that it can't see anything, but keeps twitching towards the air Nosing, I was about to move when the angry man grabbed my arm firmly and motioned me not to move.I saw this monster kept sniffing, and it was getting closer and closer to us. Suddenly it seemed to have noticed something, hesitated for a moment, suddenly spread its wings, and then let out a severe howl, this heart-piercing sound The screaming of the lungs made our ears ache. Then the whole thing flew up, and there were creatures like it in the sky. In an instant, even the light that was not too bright seemed to become dimmer again. They flew fast in the air, and some opened their mouths and kept calling Two sounds, mixed together, it makes me wish I could cut off my ears. They hovered in the air for a while, and suddenly several monsters flew straight towards me. At the very moment, He Zhuang patted his shoulder with a knife, and the monster who was awakened by me immediately turned around and sniffed carefully with its nose I got up, and those monsters that flew towards me had already landed in front of me, they showed their white teeth, their expressions couldn't tell if they were smiling, and then they made a low voice like humming, the angry man shouted The ax in Liang's hand was about to strike, when suddenly the monster Wen He Zhuang uttered a sharp howl, and all the monsters seemed to calm down suddenly, including the monsters that were flying in the air and didn't land for a while, at least they stopped screaming. I don't know what happened, but I saw more than a dozen monsters falling down one after another, they all squeezed around He Zhuang, surrounded him, and smelled it, the angry man showed his axe, and the surrounded He Zhuang hurriedly made gestures to tell him not to act rashly, only to see those monsters smelled it for a while, and immediately flapped their wings and flew around without any hesitation. We got together again without any danger, everyone was sweating through their clothes, all the monsters on the mountain woke up, I don’t know how many there were, and we didn’t dare to stay longer, and immediately went down the mountain. To say that this mountain is not too low, we walked for an hour before we got down to the ground. When we looked up, we saw more than a dozen towering and steep peaks around us, and there was only a narrow mountain road in front of us. It has been leading to the foggy distance, and it is impossible to see what is in front of it. He Zhuang said: "It was really dangerous just now, and I almost died." I was full of doubts, and now I was able to speak, and immediately said: "Zhuangzi, what is going on with all this? Where are we? How did you and Grandpa Nu get together? And how did you know about me?" In the Celestial Race?" He Zhuang said: "Now is not the time to talk, we must hurry up and get out of here, or we really won't be able to leave." I said: "What kind of place is this? I think it's really evil." He Zhuang said: "Of course it's evil. This is the Bloodland of Pain, and it's the territory of the demons. I guess the dragon guards are here to monitor this place. They have already had a premonition that the demons have recovered." We didn't dare to delay at the moment, and we hurried on our way. On the way, I said, "Zhuangzi, can you answer my question just now? I really didn't expect you to appear in the place of the Sky Spirit Clan." He Zhuang said: "It's nothing surprising. The Tianling tribe is a place I'm familiar with. I know which way to enter the territory of the Tianling tribe. It is built between the painful bloodland and the flame jungle. I can Enter through any of these two sides, but the flower-faced lady has re-entered the flame forest, and I must not be able to pass through, so I and the angry man sneaked into the Tianling clan from the blood field of pain. The big demon has not yet resurrected in the cursed abyss. Otherwise, we will have to force our way in from the front.” I said: "Is this the territory of the demons?" He Zhuang nodded and said: "That's right, this is the Bloodland of Pain. During the holy war, the great demon was beheaded here by the greatest warrior of the Celestial Race, that is, the ancestor of Ashue, and fell into the cursed abyss again But all the people of the Sky Spirit Race know that the big demon will be resurrected sooner or later, the blood in these blood pools rises quickly, and it is only a matter of time before the big devil returns to the human world." Yang Chenglong said: "Then what kind of harm will it cause to human beings?" He Zhuang said: "It will kill all human beings. Where the big devil is, everything must be fed by human blood, even the mountain peaks you see. Many human beings disappear every year. In fact, the root cause is related to them. Related, the reason why the four blood slaves you investigated died like that is because the resurrection of the great devil requires human blood." Yang Chenglong sighed and said: "This is really an evil place, but if the big devil is really resurrected, can humans stop him?" He Zhuang said: "Humans have defeated it once, the great demon is not invincible, and not only you, but also the evil general and the dark wizard of the flower-faced lady don't want the great demon to be resurrected." I heard him call human beings "you", my heart skipped a beat, and I asked tentatively, "Zhuangzi, are you okay?" He Zhuang said: "It's okay, it's just that it has become stronger than before." I said: "But the leader is still in the hands of a wizard, we must find a way to rescue him." He Zhuang said: "I don't need it for the time being. The leader knows the exact news about Long. This is the most terrible point. It is always right for more forces to protect him." Due to too many questions, I actually forgot a lot of questions. Seeing my anxious look, Axue said softly: "Brother Luo, it's not time to go into details now, let's talk about it after we go out." While talking, we walked out of the mountain path wrapped in dense fog, and our eyes suddenly opened up.I saw a huge barren loess plain in front of me, and what frightened me was that there was a huge blood-red lake in the middle of the plain. In the middle of the lake was a huge temple built with huge stones. The shape of the building is roughly similar to a rectangle, except that the main entrance has an obvious slope. Two huge tauren warriors are carved on both sides of the entrance, holding a giant axe and standing on both sides. It looks majestic under the blood-red light. , also a bit weird and evil. The angry man shook the ax in his hand and said, "This is the place guarded by the Minotaur, and it is also the core of the demon clan: the Painful Blood Origin. It is said that human beings' painful feelings are produced by this temple." I said: "Since we can come here so easily, and this is the lair of the demons, why hasn't anyone destroyed it for thousands of years?" A blood-red spot of light stared straight at us, and the angry man changed his expression and said, "Go quickly." He Zhuang said: "The head of the great demon is a huge bull's head. It is said that it is enshrined in this temple. There are indeed many excellent fighters from the Tianling tribe who came here to try to destroy the temple, but in the end It all turned into blood in the blood lake, no one knows why, and no one continues to come to die." I sighed and said, "This world is so crazy, I never thought there would be such an unbelievable truth." The angry man said: "Human beings have been deceiving themselves and others all the time. Many wizards and evil methods actually exist, but many people insist that they are blind methods. The case of the four blood slaves can be seen by everyone. It is definitely not an ordinary case, but Your people only use conventional means to investigate, not because the truth is hidden too deeply, but because some people are unwilling to accept the truth." I said: "Grandpa Nu, it is said that the warriors of the Tianling tribe are the most powerful race in the world, and they are also the guardians of the dragon tribe, but what is going on with those old men today?" The angry man said disdainfully: "The people of the Tianling clan are nothing, what is the Tianling clan? Don't be fooled by the name, the Tianling clan is just the group of people who entered the refuge in order to get asylum during the holy war. Jihad After the end, they put gold on their faces, bragging that they won the victory with the demons. Shit, they are actually a bunch of ordinary people. Selfishness and greed are also their characters. To put it mildly, they can be compared with soldiers To put it on the hook, to put it bluntly, it is a group of servants who specialize in serving the dragon guards." This sudden truth surprised me a lot, because I had always imagined the warriors of the Tianling clan as supermen, but I never thought that such a group of people would be so unbearable in his mouth. Yang Chenglong suddenly asked: "Then the Peacock Spirit King is here What kind of identity should be considered among this group of people?" The angry man hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't want to put money on King Ling's face, let Zhuangzi tell you." He Zhuang said: "King Ling is the only one among human beings who became the elder of the Heavenly Spirit Clan by defeating the guards of the Dragon Clan. He relied on his real skills and did not rely on external help." The angry man said: "My father is an indomitable hero in the Tianling clan. He was originally the leader of a tribe. Later, when the tribe accidentally saw a dragon, the people of the Tianling clan came to chase him down, but he was beaten to death by my father. Afterwards, the guards of the Dragon Clan came to handle this matter in person, but they were still defeated by my father. He died in his hands. But after this incident, he also disappeared. The guards of the dragon clan told me that it might be the ghost of the yin and yang scholar, so I have been looking for my father in the dark alleys these years, but until today No clues were found." No wonder I saw that Peacock Spirit King looked familiar. It turned out that he was the father of the angry man. They were very similar in appearance. I was about to take out the jade token and hand it to him, but my hand was held down by Yang Chenglong. Secretly made a gesture, indicating that I should not talk about this matter for the time being. I don't know how he planned this matter, but it was not easy to ask, so I had to put the jade card back. Yang Chenglong said: "By the way, since this is the territory of the demons, it is too unreasonable for us to come and go freely. Don't many demon creatures appear now?" He Zhuang said: "That's right, most of the bloodstones here now live on the mountain peaks. Even the stones here need blood to support them. Those monsters live by sucking the blood in the crevices of the stones. They are painful blood." Creatures with the lowest level in the world can't even be used for combat. The demon army is mainly composed of tauren, but the tauren have never appeared since the end of the last holy war, unlike evil generals, dark wizards and sky spirits , we've all seen it." Yang Chenglong said: "Have you heard of monsters?" Both He Zhuang and the angry man changed their expressions, and the angry man said, "How do you know about monsters?" Yang Chenglong said: "He is now one of the four oldest supernatural power families in the world, but I know he should have been a member of the Demon Race." The angry man said: "That's right, the monster beast and the great demon used to rule the Bloodland of Pain, but for some reason, they broke up suddenly. Fortunately, otherwise, the result of the holy war back then would be hard to say." Yang Chenglong said: "Could it be that the monster clan broke with him because they hated the big devil?" The angry man laughed and said: "From the name of it, you should be able to sense what kind of creatures they are. I guess that the problem of big demons and monsters is probably a problem of interests, that is, a problem of uneven distribution of spoils." , but the war between them was earlier than the holy war, so the truth is not clear at the moment, but the monsters did help humans after the holy war started and dealt with the great demon, which is also true." Yang Chenglong smiled and said: "I have long thought that there is something wrong with these despicable bastards, and it really is." The angry man glanced at him and said, "What do you mean?" Yang Chenglong said: "I once had a dream that monsters would kill at a certain time, so I have always distrusted their family, but the principal didn't believe me, he always stood on the sidelines From the standpoint of the four major families, speaking for them, to be honest, this is the only thing I am dissatisfied with the principal. The principal has always used the reason that monsters have made great contributions to mankind, but now I finally know why they Will do so, it seems that they are helpless." The angry man said: "Dare to trust monsters, this is a very ridiculous thing in itself." At this time we had already passed the blood field, but the sky suddenly darkened, it was no longer that red, and there was a very unpleasant smell floating in the night sky, He Zhuang said: "Everyone be careful, this is the cursed abyss , the great demon's body is here." As soon as the voice fell, there was a creepy laughter in the night sky. The laughter was like thunder, and it hit people's ears. I only felt that the world was full of this laughter. I covered my ears and looked around vigilantly.After a while, the laughter suddenly stopped, and He Zhuang said: "For thousands of years, the laughter of the great devil has been echoing here. This is the most evil place in the world." As soon as the words fell, there was another rattling sound of iron friction. We couldn't see anything in the dark, and the angry man said: "This is the most terrifying thing in Pain Bloodland: the slaughterhouse. It is said that there is a naturally formed giant millstone here. , the demons put all the creatures they caught into the grinder, and fed the minced meat and bone dregs to the tauren, and the blood would flow into the blood pool through special channels. Why is this place called the pain blood source? In its heyday, it will always be filled with the screams of human and animal pain." I felt that the hand that Axue was holding on to me was cold, so I secretly pinched her a few times to signal her not to be afraid, and Axue also squeezed me in response.Although we couldn't see each other's expressions clearly in the dark, the sweetness I couldn't restrain in my heart was out of tune with the surrounding scenery. Suddenly I heard a howl of a cow, and then the ground began to shake. I thought something was wrong in my heart. I followed the sound and saw three creatures with bull heads but able to walk upright in the temple. They are similar to human beings, but they are extremely strong. Although they have hands, their feet are still two cow hooves. They strode into the pool of blood, and only waited for their bodies to be completely submerged. Only one head floated on the surface of the water. Turning around, when they are facing us, you can clearly see their egg-like eyes and thick and large nose rings on their noses. Since they are far away from us, the angry man said softly, "If they find out, everyone will die." I said: "There is no need to watch them take a bath, let's go quickly, this place is very weird, it is not a good thing to stay longer." But although it is scary here, the road is not difficult to walk. We walked out quickly, and it didn't take long before my eyes suddenly lit up. The scene of heavy traffic has been away from my world for a long time, and I finally saw cars, pedestrians and other things that I am familiar with in daily life, but are incompatible with those mysterious worlds. I let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "I'm finally back, let's find a place to sit, we must have something to eat." After a while, everyone sat in a fast food restaurant. The appearance of the angry man made everyone look sideways, and he didn't care. He ordered four boxed meals by himself and ate them like no one else. Yang Chenglong said: "Since we're back and know a lot about what's going on, I'd like to ask for everyone's opinions. Should we notify the principal of this matter immediately, or do we have other plans?" He Zhuang said: "It's better not to tell the principal, those things in the world, the principal can't do anything about it, if you pull someone in alone, it's just dragging others down." I said: "Zhuangzi, I don't know if I'm over-intentioned. I always feel that something is wrong when I see you this time. We are brothers who live and die. Is there anything you need to hide from me?" A Xue also said at this time: "Yes, brother Zhuang, if there is anything that needs our help, just say it, don't hold it alone." He Zhuang nodded and said, "Thank you, you can't help me with this matter." I said: "Just now in the Heavenly Spirit Clan, the Dragon Clan guards are so powerful, you pushed them upside down as soon as you stretched out your hand, I remember that you were no match for a person from the Sky Spirit Clan, why did you become so powerful all of a sudden? gone?" He Zhuang said: "Didn't you notice that my complexion is different?" I said: "I found out a long time ago, so I want to ask you." He Zhuang said indifferently: "The reason is very simple, I am now an evil general." I jumped up in shock and almost turned the table over. Everyone in the fast food restaurant looked at me. He Zhuang lowered his voice and said, "I told you, it's better not to know these things." A Xue also looked very shocked, she said: "No matter what, you shouldn't give up your soul, even if you want to avenge Elder He, you shouldn't use this method." He Zhuang said: "You don't need to ask about this matter anymore, each person has his own choice, and now revenge is more important to me than anything else." A Xue said: "But Elder He's death has something to do with my father and Grandpa Nu's father, but the three of us are sitting here eating together, can you tell us your plan frankly?" He Zhuang said: "There is a grievance and a debtor. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry." A Xue said: "I'm just worried about you." He Zhuang said: "Thank you. In fact, my becoming an evil general has something to do with you. When I knew that you had entered the Sky Spirit Clan, I knew that if you didn't use extraordinary measures, you would definitely die there, so I decided to do it." An evil general. But yesterday I saw that you entered the deep well in a daze, and I knew that what I expected was correct. All the people related to that well died of accidents, so today I only have to take the risk to bring you to the deep well. It came out, but what I didn't expect was that my father has been dead for so many years, so many people still remember him, and even want to avenge him, I think the Tianling clan is not useless." The angry man's eating rhythm was a little slower, he smiled and said: "That's true, I didn't expect the man with the long knife to be so strong, and Le Qi, for the big axe, he even died to prove the courage of the big axe , to be honest, such a person should be worthy of our admiration, what I said about the Celestial Race before was indeed a bit too much." I said: "Zhuangzi, let's not talk about anything else, if the leader knows that you have defected to the yin and yang scholar, what will he think?" He Zhuang said: "I am doing everything for you. If you think I am wrong, then it is wrong. I have nothing to explain." I said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you, I just hope you can choose a more appropriate way to solve this matter." 何壮道:“那你告诉我还有什么样的办法?你们命在顷刻,我迟一步行动,你们可能就要把命留在天灵族了,你说怎么办才好?” 我叹了口气道:“壮子,我对不起你,这次去天灵族我们确实有些草率了。” 何壮道:“和你们没关系,你们也是好心,希望了解一些情况,但是你们把问题想得太简单了,天灵族里并非都是好人,而且那里的人杀人没有顾忌,和你生活的世界不一样。” 我彻底没了话,杨成龙道:“何哥也是义薄云天,况且好坏只在于行为,而非你是邪将还是人,有的人还不如邪将呢?” 怒汉道:“这句话说得太对了,天灵族的人就一定比邪将好吗?我看未必。” 杨成龙道:“对了,怒爷爷,您知道那口深井里到底有怎样的秘密吗?为什么进入的人都会横遭不测呢?” 怒汉道:“我当然不知道了,知道了也就不会坐在这里了,不过你们既然进去过了,应该知道里面有些什么情况,怎么反而问起我了?” 杨成龙道:“我确实知道里面发生的情况,但是我知道很多人一定比我们更想知道这个秘密,尤其是天灵族的人。” 说罢只见四五个人走了进来,坐到了我们身边,居然是铁伟峰、老李、刘鑫和严处长,看来进入正常人的世界,杨成龙就开始作准备了,只见铁伟峰盯着怒汉道:“小杨同志,你应该是立功了,连校长都说你的推测很有道理。” 我有些莫名其妙地看着两方人,不知道铁伟峰说的话是什么意思,杨成龙却对我道:“罗子,你明白过来这件事情了?” 我摇头道:“不知道你看出什么破绽了?” 怒汉面无表情地继续吃饭,道:“看出我们的破绽,那真是洗耳恭听了。” 杨成龙道:“说破绽谈不上,但是我有几点要请教两位了,首先,何壮作为天灵族的人,怎么会如此轻易地加入邪将?就算真如你们所说是为了救我们,那么阴阳书生也要相信你才是,毕竟你可是他的死敌啊。其次,为什么你们早不动手,晚不动手,偏偏在我们刚进入深井后就出现了?我知道那口井是天灵族最神秘的地方,里面确实隐藏着一个巨大的秘密,所以我不得不怀疑你们。” 怒汉竖了个大拇指道:“没错,你说的很有道理,不愧是个先知,认识上确实要超过一般人。” 我脸一红,觉得怒汉这句话就是说我的,杨成龙推测的确实有道理,我也总觉得有点不对劲,可是总想不明白错在哪里,经过他这么一说,总算是明白了。 铁伟峰道:“小杨同志确实比大家都聪明,所以你最好不要想着糊弄他。” 怒汉不屑地笑道:“我骗他?你也不去打听一下,老子什么时候骗过人。” 铁伟峰道:“很少有人敢在我面前自称老子的。” 怒汉道:“老子最少比你要大出100岁,自称老子有何错,说你是孙子还嫌不够呢。” 这两人都是干火药的脾气,一点就炸,铁伟峰身体已经不自觉地开始发生变化,严处长一把按住他的手道:“你别乱来。” 铁伟峰气呼呼地道:“你听听他都说了些什么!” 严处长没有理他,对怒汉道:“请您见谅,我这位同事脾气不好,说话不会和人客气,我代他向您道歉了。” 怒汉打了个哈哈道:“脾气坏的人我见多了,但是你们的质疑我只能说非常有道理,不过真相偏偏不是如你们所想的那样。他是如假包换的何壮,他付出了如此巨大的代价就是为了救人,可没想到最后却被你们怀疑了,真是笑话。” 杨成龙道:“我也不想怀疑你们,但是现在这种特殊时期,我也不能随便地相信别人。” 何壮道:“我能理解你的做法,这样吧,既然已经把你们救出来了,我也就放心了,咱们就此分别吧。” 杨成龙道:“怎么,你想走?” 何壮道:“难不成你还想逮捕我们。” 杨成龙道:“逮捕不至于,但是有些话咱们必须得说清楚。” 何壮道:“既然你不相信我们,还有谈的必要吗?” 杨成龙道:“如果你们不能取得我的信任,那么就不能走。” 怒汉握住斧子道:“真是笑话,邪将都挡不住我,难道凭你们几个就能阻挡我走路,太不自量力了。” 铁伟峰道:“那咱们就试试看。” 眼看形势一触即发,两方人说动手可能就要动手了,这时阿雪道:“大家都冷静一些,我能说句话吗?” 大家都暂时安静了下来,阿雪道:“我绝对相信壮哥,我能感觉到他是一个好人。” 阿雪的感觉是非常准确的,我们都比较信服,杨成龙道:“阿雪,这不是开玩笑的事情,我与他们两位并没有任何冤仇,所为只是想把事实调查清楚,并非有意刁难他们。” 阿雪道:“我知道,所以我没有为难你,否则你现在就已经是我的敌人了。” 杨成龙道:“你就这么信任他们,那么可以说说你的道理吗?” 阿雪道:“我的感觉就是道理,他们两位都是好人,相反,我对你的印象倒不是太好。” 这句话一说出来,在场的人都大吃一惊,我尤其吃惊,难道杨成龙不是个好人? 更加出乎我意料的是杨成龙居然没有反驳,他反而沉默了,这进一步加深了我对他的怀疑。过了一会儿,杨成龙叹了口气道:“或许我确实不是你价值体系里那种意义上的好人吧,总之我相信你说的话。” 铁伟峰道:“杨子你疯了,居然凭这个小丫头一句话就相信她了?” 杨成龙苦笑了一声,对铁伟峰道:“铁哥,如果你信任我,那这件事情就别再说了,算是我谎报军情,让你们白跑了一趟。” 铁伟峰有些不可理解地道:“老严,杨子是不是脑瓜子坏了,你劝劝他啊。” 严处长想了一会儿道:“我站在小杨子这边,既然他选择了信任,我没有道理去反驳他,毕竟这是我们一贯的传统,我们没必要破坏自己的规矩。” 何壮冷冷地道:“你们商量好了没有,如果好了,我们就走了?” 严处长道:“不好意思,今天算是误会,如果有机会我们再好好向你们道歉一次。” 何壮道:“那不必了,你们也是为了案子,我能够理解。” 说罢不再逗留,起身走了出去,阿雪拉着我道:“走啊,难道你打算留在这里?” 我当然信任阿雪了,跟着一起走了出去,没想到的是杨成龙也跟着我们出来了,我道:“怎么,你不怀疑他们了?” 杨成龙表情有些复杂地道:“如果阿雪不说最后那句话我还真不太信任她,可是现在我完全相信她的特异功能绝对是正确的。” 怒汉看了他一眼,表情缓和了不少,道:“第一次见人承认自己不是好人,不过我确实感觉不到你小子坏在哪里,你自己能坦白一次吗?” 杨成龙笑道:“其实我本来并不是那种天天没事干就瞎合计的人,刚进入学院的时候,我和很多学生是一样的,思想上也没有任何负担,不过后来知道自己是先知后,杂念便开始多了起来,尤其当我可以看见人的未来,对人的戒心便开始越来越重。我为什么佩服校长,就是因为他的包容心,他可以包容那些他明知是很邪恶的人,但是我不行。不过最要命的是我对自己的梦并不能确定那究竟是梦,还是真的先知,所以我对很多人都产生了不必要的怀疑,我提防他们,但是又怕他们知道,这些年我确实活得非常虚伪,阿雪对我的感觉一点都没有错。” 何壮虽然说话的语气很冷,却用赞同的话道:“人本来就是在竞争中生存下来的,你对同类有提防之心,我觉得也是很正常的事情,没必要因此而有心理负担。” 杨成龙叹了口气道:“其实我也不想这样,但是没有办法,我生下来就注定会加入一场风暴中,我宿命中的对手,是我最好的朋友,我想这也许是我心理变化的成因吧,不过让我没想到的是在这件事情还没发生之前,居然又碰到了现在这些不可思议的状况,有时候我真的感觉太累了,不过我想无论如何还是应该和你们在一起,既然麻烦已经够多了,也不在乎多那么一两件了,更何况我天生与龙有缘,我的梦里曾经出现过龙,我相信这个世界上绝对有真龙存在。” 何壮道:“什么,你梦见过龙?” 杨成龙道:“没错,那还是我在学院里当学生的时候,一天晚上睡觉,我梦到自己乘船在海上遭遇了大风暴,卷起的海浪打翻了船,本来我以为自己死定了,但是海水突然分开,我看见一条青龙快速游了过来,将我驮到背上,之后我就醒了。” 何壮道:“你的梦一般都是预言,如果这次不落空,那么或许你真的能见到龙。” 我道:“你梦里有我吗?” 何壮道:“最好没你,因为只有我一个人上了龙背,在那种环境的海域里,没有人可以存活的。” 我道:“那这段时间我还是尽量避免出海得好。” 没想到过了一会儿,何壮忽然道:“罗子,这次你可能真的要出海了。” 我大吃了一惊道:“不会吧,老杨刚说完这个预言,你就要兑现了?” 何壮道:“这次天灵族救你的另一个原因是因为在某一纬度的海域发生了怪事情,我猜测可能是龙,所以必须要带你们过去。” 我道:“壮子,不是我胆小,这种工作为什么非要拖上我呢,说不定真有危险。” 何壮道:“因为阿雪必须出海,如果那条海域真的出现了龙,我们这些人里只有阿雪能和它交流,你如果不去也可以,但是我们肯定都要去。” 我道:“你也真能憋得住,到现在才说这件事情,可是你现在已经成了邪将,神龙能让你接近吗?” 何壮道:“邪将也是人,只要是人就不会对龙产生多大的影响。” 这个意外而至的情况我们没有丝毫心理准备,虽然我们一直在寻找真龙,可是直到目前为止没有任何现象能证明世上真有龙存在,虽然之前出现过太多的传说,甚至我亲眼见到了守护龙的种族,和那些想要杀掉龙的种族的存在,当然我也确实看到了一条巨大的龙骨。 阿雪道:“壮哥,你真的能够确定那是一条龙吗?如果真是这样,那么不可能只有我们会去,他们肯定也会去的。” 何壮道:“没错,尤其是魔族,它们的主人是被神龙击败的,而龙太子又是死在魔族的手里,这两个种族是绝对的死对头,任何一方都不会轻易放过另一方,所以我们必须在魔族之前找到这条龙,至少也要证明它不是一条龙。” 我道:“你的消息是从哪儿收到的,不会是邪将告诉你的吧?” 何壮回头对我道:“你小子越来越聪明了,除了他们还能有谁呢,记得常清月吗?就是他。” 我道:“什么,连他的话你都敢相信?” 何壮道:“我没有道理不信任他。” 我道:“为什么,壮子,你这样说……” 没等我话说完,他猛地转身走到我面前道:“罗子,你现在最好记住我是一个邪将,不再是过去那个普通的调查员了,更不是天灵族的战士,明白了?” 看他凶巴巴的样子,才有几分像原来的风格,我知道和他讲道理不是一个明智的选择,便点头道:“好的,我以后不再提这茬了。” 杨成龙道:“不过如果这次真的要出海,我的梦必须要重视,毕竟是人命关天的大事。” 怒汉道:“那当然了,没谁是想去自杀的。” 杨成龙道:“对了,怒爷爷,本来对你有所怀疑,所以有一件很重要的事情没有告诉你,现在能对你说了。” 怒汉眼睛一眯道:“哦,什么事情?” 杨成龙道:“之前听你说过,自己徘徊在阴森小巷是为了寻找自己的父亲,难道灵王的失踪和邪将有关?” 怒汉道:“这件事情说来就话长了,当年我父亲杀了壮子的父亲后就神秘失踪了,因为后来族里有传言说何长老的死其实是阴阳书生栽赃陷害的,据说我父亲之后就踏入阴森小巷去寻找阴阳书生,也有人说他是因为错杀了何长老,羞愧难当自杀谢罪,但是我知道以父亲的性格,就算他真的错杀了何长老,那最大的可能就是去找阴阳书生,绝不会选择窝囊自杀的,所以我在阴森小巷中徘徊了几十年,就是为了寻找父亲。其间和无数邪将、巫师交过手,能活到今天也算不容易了,不过我始终没有找到父亲,邪将也不承认我父亲去过阴森小巷,但是我觉得必须给这件事情一个交代,总不能没完没了地在那里待下去,所幸后来遇到了壮子,也让我找到了出来的理由。” 杨成龙道:“你的做法是绝对正确的,因为灵王确实不在阴森小巷,这几十年他一直就在那口深井里待着,不光是我们,王皓也曾经见过他。” 怒汉的表情简直就像是踩到了一块烧红的木炭,如果不是我眼疾手快一把拉住他,不知道他要跳起来多高,过了很久他才平息了呼呼直喘的粗气道:“这是真的?” 我从身上把那块古玉拿了出来,递给他道:“您应该认识这个物件吧?” 怒汉接过手后仔细看了一遍,随即长长叹了口气,忽然捂着脸蹲在路边呜呜地大哭起来,他的身材随便发出一点声音都比一般人要响得多,引来无数路人侧头观看,我们赶紧劝他,真怕他把警察招来,说不清楚。 怒汉才不管这些呢,一口气哭了个痛快,这才一抹脸道:“他娘的天灵族,我操你姥姥。” 何壮道:“这件事情要从长计议,你先克制点自己。” 怒汉道:“我找了老子几十年,没想到自己老子居然被天灵族的人囚禁了几十年,你说这些人有多卑鄙?” 何壮道:“天灵族的人卑鄙这并不是秘密,但这里确实不是说话的地方,我们没必要给自己找麻烦。” 之后我们几个人连拖带拽将怒汉拉走了。 怒汉一边走一边道:“奶奶的,要是让老子知道是谁干的好事,老子非一斧子削了他的脑袋。” 何壮道:“还能有谁,除了周世臣谁还会这么卑鄙?” 阿雪道:“周世臣是谁?” 何壮道:“就是一开始阻拦我们的长弓的人,他是你大伯父最忠心的走狗。” 阿雪道:“何哥,听你的意思,这件事情和我大伯父有关了?”语气颇为不快,毕竟他是阿雪父亲的亲哥哥,总没有害死自己兄弟的道理。 何壮道:“和你的伯父虽然不一定有关系,但是和周世臣却一定有干系,长弓和利剑一直以来都是关系最好的两方,圣战过后但凡是长弓的长老,一般都是和你们秋家有关系,换句话说基本都是利剑长老推荐的,他们两方为什么走得这么近,听怒汉说是因为长弓的地位在天灵族一直都是最低的,后来为了提升自己的地位,不得已和利剑结盟,不过经过几千年的过程,不得已也就变成了习惯。后来我父亲一直怀疑有人想要夺取天灵族的大权,可能存在一些地下阴谋,所以他在很早的时候就开始调查此事,结果被人栽赃陷害,最后莫名其妙地死了,而与这件事情有关系的人也都不存在于天灵族内了。” 我道:“原来你父亲真正遭致杀身之祸是这个原因,而非他和邪将的关系?” 过了一会儿,何壮道:“准确地说,我的祖先确实是邪将。” 听了这句话我们都大吃了一惊,阿雪瞪大眼珠子望着何壮,半天都说不出话来,何壮道:“一开始你们对我有很多疑虑,也问了我很多问题,我说不方便回答你们,但是现在事情变得有些特殊,我也就不瞒大家了。” 我当然知道何壮所说的“事情”特殊在哪儿,就是我们即将面临的出海很可能导致一个都回不来,看来他对杨成龙是非常信任的。 叹了口气,何壮继续道:“我的祖先既然是邪将,我的父亲当然也就是邪将,阿雪的父亲并没有说错,他的感觉完全正确,不过他忽略了一点,这一点也正是他日后被人利用的一点,那就是我父亲邪将的身份在天灵族真正的核心层并不是秘密,但是因为天灵族一直否认这个事实,所以他们并没有公布我父亲的身份。” 我道:“天灵族还有什么秘密?怎么这个族群里有如此多的秘密?” 何壮道:“那很正常,不了解这个族群之前,大家都以为这是个单纯的以战斗为己任的铁血民族,其实不然,这个由人类组成的族群本身就有很多人类的劣根性,这是不可避免的。天灵族一直否认的事实就是他们当年取得圣战胜利的根本原因是邪将在里面起了举足轻重的作用,否则凭人类压根儿就不是魔族的对手。” 我们又是大吃一惊道:“邪将居然会和天灵族联手对付魔族?” 何壮道:“阴阳书生自然有他的打算,但这是不争的事实。后来我的祖先不知道因为什么原因留在了天灵族,这个秘密一直没人捅破,直到被阿雪的父亲无意中发现了此事,便去告诉了自己的大哥。据我推测,或许是有人冒充五花战神下令诛杀我们一家,但我知道凶手并不是灵王,他只是一个背黑锅的人而已,一切的原因就是他们极力想掩盖这个真相,所以阿雪的父亲后来知道了事实真相,非常后悔,这也是他为什么告诫自己女儿自己做错了事的原因。他是一个善良的人,但善良的人注定不会在天灵族中有好的下场。” 我道:“这……这……”也说不出个所以然来。 杨成龙道:“没什么好惊讶的,人与人之间究其本质就是尔虞我诈,为了自己的利益可以牺牲别人的一切,伟大的人永远都是少数,绝大部分人都是为自己而战斗。” 何壮道:“这个秘密我本来是想迟一点告诉你们,不过没想到你们知道的也不算少了,所以干脆就一次说个痛快吧,这也是我的身世,连团长都不知道。” 我道:“你为什么不早点说出来呢?” 何壮道:“我一直认为自己是天灵族的战士,但是那天我们分手后,当我第一次进入阴森小巷,就从常清月那里知道了一切。我是一个邪将,从生下来就是,我身上的文身其实是邪将才有的,天灵族的战士身上的文身和我的完全不一样。” 何壮叹了口气道:“其实真相一直就在我面前,只是我没有发觉,当然现在知道也不算晚。” 我看了怒汉一眼心里想:“天灵族和阴阳书生是死敌,他们两个人为何会在一起呢?” 不过这个问题并不好问,何壮道:“一时半会儿也说不清楚,带你们去个地方吧。” 说罢打了两部车子,我们七拐八绕地又来到了常清月的家门口。上次来的时候我们什么都不知道,这次再看到他的房子,总觉得有点阴森森,事实也确实如此,等我们走进他的屋子,就能感觉到比外面的温度要低很多,但是他并没有开空调。 这次进了屋子常清月没有明显表露出对我们的反感,客气了很多。我看到他的老柜橱上放着一个阴阳书生的雕像,和我在天灵族的城堡里看到的一模一样,只是体积小了不少。 怒汉一屁股坐在椅子上道:“我不去了。” 常清月表情有些诧异,道:“为什么?” 怒汉道:“我老子被人囚禁了,我要回去救他。” 常清月吃惊地道:“什么,天灵族居然将孔雀灵王给囚禁了,这么做是为什么呢?” 怒汉道:“还能为什么,肯定是内耗了,没想到如此形势下,他们还有心思干这种事请。” 何壮道:“灵王的事情我们还是要详细听他们说一下情况,你也别急了,既然知道他还活着,这就是好事。” 怒汉道:“如果我不知道也就算了,知道了还有不救的道理?” 常清月道:“不是我教你做事情,不过我总觉得还是要听明白再作打算,如果真需要搭救灵王,我也能帮上忙。” 他话音刚落,只见两个古怪的人从里屋走了出来,两人都是身着蓝布衣服,将头裹得很严实,怒汉一看到他们,哼了一声道:“你们居然也来了,凑热闹吗?” 其中一个道:“我们早就不知道热闹为何物了,不过如果你真的要去救灵王,我们倒可以帮你。” 怒汉道:“真是谢谢你们了,对了,你们为什么来这里,难道为了那件事情?” 两人没说话,都点了点头,怒汉道:“带邪将去找龙,你们是不是认为我疯了?” 其中一人道:“你没有疯,是我们疯了,但是现在天灵族的人都忙着自己的事情,那件事情都闹到如此大的动静,他们都没有行动,我们再不干涉,如果被魔族的人知道了,获得了龙血,大恶魔很可能就会提前复活,这是谁都不希望看到的结局。” 我心中奇怪,没想到阴阳书生也不待见大恶魔,他都缺德成啥样了啊?何壮对我道:“这件事情其实我们部门早就掌握了,只是团长不在,事情一直没有办法顺利展开。” 我道:“什么事情?” 何壮道:“有渔民在渤海湾海域看到了龙,并且照了相片,不过有关部门为了掩盖真相,说照片是经过PS处理的合成照,但是文件已经下达到199所。” 我道:“那怎么办?” 何壮道:“我们必须去找那条龙,如果被魔族抢在我们前面,那结果就是大恶魔提前复活,
