Chapter 1003: [Only the Dead Know the Secret]
Old Anchor returned to his home full of wine bottles. Mingjiabi Fun Pavilion to see the latest chapter//
Using his feet, he poked a little space on the ground at will, and lay down in the middle of the stinking garbage, seemingly very comfortably, as if lying on a fragrant garden grass. No one has entered this house for more than three hundred years. Since the female soldier with a broken arm who wanted to marry Old Tie Anchor, because of her indifferent attitude towards Old Tie Anchor, she left in despair, and never again. No one ever entered his room.
Before the old anchor fell asleep, a few mice had come out of the hole in the corner and crawled around, causing several wine bottles to roll and collide with each other, making a loud bang.
However, the old anchor turned a blind eye.
It seemed that the few dangling in front of them were not mice, but invisible air.
Outside the window, Gan Quan, the immigrant businessman boss who rented the old Tie Mao's ancestral land to build the 'Whale Drinking Tavern', is telling the newly recruited buddy Xijiu: "Brother Tie Ao is used to going to bed early, don't knock on the door." , the food is thrown in directly from the window, and it is thrown on the highest iron hook. Remember to throw it accurately, this rope must be hung on the hook just now, otherwise, the mice will steal it. By the way, every three days , Brother Tie Mao will be short of wine, and you have to put the wine at the door in time, he doesn't need to eat, but he must have enough wine!"
"Understood, please don't worry, boss." The new buddy, Xijiu, is a clever person who can memorize many things just by saying them once.
"Snapped!"
He went to the window and took a look.
Slowly reach in, wrap the cooked food in oiled paper and tie it up with a rope, and throw it lightly, just onto the wire hook hanging from the roof. you can get it.
Finally, Xijiu thought for a while, and piled up a dozen bottles of wine on the left side of the door, believing that Old Tie Anchor could see it when he opened the door.
This service has been going on for hundreds of years, and has never been interrupted, regardless of the weather.
Old Anchor doesn't charge rent. Although Gan Quan, the owner of the Whale Tavern, consciously puts most of the rent in the Iron and Steel Guild and sends someone to deposit it for Old Tie Mao, he can collect and use it at any time as long as Old Tie Moor is willing. Old Tie Mao never went to withdraw money, he did not collect rent, but he made a request that Gan Quan, the owner of Whale Tavern, take care of his wine, as long as there is enough to drink, then everything will be fine.
In this way, the habit of giving food and wine has been delayed for hundreds of years.
Snoring heavily, the old iron anchor fell asleep comfortably.
But those few hungry mice were a little anxious,
They have been looking forward to the bag of slightly fragrant food above their heads for more than a day or two. Why don't they have enough intelligence to get this food, and they are so anxious to walk around on the ground.
When the mice were exhausted and tried all the methods and still got nothing, they had to leave in despair.
Old Tie Ao's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining brightly.
The nose is still ringing with sleepy snoring.
He suddenly took out a small black box from the bottom of the bed, and twisted the bars on it vigorously. The mechanical transmission of the small box rubbed against each other, and unexpectedly made a strange grunting sound like an old iron anchor, which was very similar. After replacing his snoring sound with the sound of a small box, the old iron anchor was like light smoke, shaped like a ghost, indescribably fast, and as light as a nocturnal old cat... He slid into the The rusty and worm-infested kitchen seemed to have not been used for an untold amount of time, and there was a light touch from the hidden bottom of the stove.
The entire stove cracked silently.
A dark underground passage was revealed, slanting downward.
The old iron anchor touched lightly somewhere, and the moment the stove was closed, the whole person slipped into the underground passage as soft as boneless.
About a minute later, a faint spot of light appeared in front of the dark passage, and when they got closer, they found that it was a huge steel platform. On the steel platform, there is a steel door, several huge steel gears mesh with each other, becoming the driving force bearing for it to enter and exit.
The gorilla and the lobster popeye, who have been put on a special steel armor, look like conscientious guards. Mingjiabi Fun Pavilion to see the latest chapter//
Standing before the Gate of Steel.
Seeing the old anchor coming, the two saluted respectfully at the same time.
The lobster popey asked curiously: "Boss, why is it nearly three minutes slower than usual today? Usually you are absolutely punctual, within a second!"
Old Tie Anchor's face was as heavy as water at the moment, and he snorted softly: "There is a newcomer in that guy Ganquan's shop... Maybe he already knows something, and he is a little suspicious. That newcomer, Xijiu, is probably that guy I was sent to investigate me. That Xiaojiu, on the surface, is a scumbag, but secretly possesses the power of heaven. Such a guy, will go to Baihe City to be an apprentice? That lame excuse is really ridiculous! You keep an eye on me secretly One point, if there is a slight change, kill Gan Quan, Xi Jiu and others, at this critical juncture, absolutely no abnormalities will be allowed!"
"Yes!" The gorilla and the lobster protruding man answered solemnly, their eyes flickering with murderous intent.
At this time, there was a person standing outside the iron hut of the old anchor.
That clever fellow, Xi Jiu.
He disappeared from the window in a flash, as fast as lightning.
When he returned to the inner room of the Whale Tavern, Gan Quan, the boss who was smiling and making money all day long, was waiting for him with a serious face.
"That person is not here." Xi Jiu saluted Gan Quan respectfully, and made a hinting gesture backwards.
"You are too risky! You have only been here for a few days, and you haven't dispelled other people's vigilance. Going to find out about that guy's whereabouts is simply nonsense! You don't know how terrible that guy is... Before you, there were already twelve followers A tracker as good as you, even better, died at his hands. I understand your mentality now, you want to prove your ability to the top as soon as possible, but this kind of eagerness for merit will only make you He is heading towards death...Young tracker, do you know how much time and how many generations of energy it took us to find this source? We have been working hard since 20,000 years ago! It took us a full three thousand years , to successfully enter this Baihe City, but you, because of your desire for success, almost ruined the efforts of all of us." Boss Ganquan's voice was not loud, but extremely stern.
"I was wrong, Father, but I really can't wait.
They are killing people like crazy now, and they are offering sacrifices with the lives and blood of slaves. If they don’t want to open the Water God Palace, or they want to hit some ancient ruins, we must not let them succeed, otherwise, our hunters will no longer be able to suppress them . Now the strength of our hunters is getting weaker and weaker. If these traitors are allowed to obtain the secret treasures of the Water God Palace or the ancient ruins, the consequences will be disastrous! "Xijiu knelt in front of Boss Ganquan, pleading with tears streaming down his face: "Father, hurry up and notify the avengers and judges above, let them come immediately and wipe out this Baihe City, otherwise, we can only watch helplessly." Watch them grow stronger, get rid of our pursuit, and even have the possibility of endless reverse pursuit. "
"Don't call me father... There are no fathers and sons here, only lurkers and trackers, only bosses and subordinates." Boss Ganquan corrected seriously, but suppressed his voice, even in a secret room, he would never speak loudly.
Jiu nodded yes, but he didn't get up, instead he reached out and hugged Boss Ganquan's legs.
"You are an unqualified tracker." Boss Gan Quan slapped Xijiu angrily: "At any time, don't let your emotions influence your mission!"
"Father, it is no longer the time to conquer the queen and the prison emperor to be famous in the heavens. Now the gates of the heavens have been closed, and the Tongtian Tower can no longer go back. We are alone, and the Tongtian Tower has been suppressed by the Central Temple. Sinking, falling into a slump, I don't know when and what month will be able to give birth to another powerful existence like the Prison Emperor. The power of the traitors is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more strong people, and we, the number of people is getting bigger and bigger. Few, the power turf has been destroyed by the Central Temple many times, and it won't be long before we can no longer gain a foothold in the heavens. Even if someone is willing to take us in, we will live under the fence...Father, now is the best opportunity! As long as we destroy Baihe City Traitors, kill all those who have been cursed to mutate into murlocs and monsters, then this piece of land will belong to our family of hunters. With the secret of the water god rich or the ancient ruins, our family of hunters will definitely be able to There will be more and stronger outstanding juniors, father, this is our best chance, we must be ahead of the traitors..." Xi Jiu begged bitterly.
"You rebellious son who lets profit pollute his heart and soul..."
Boss Ganquan pointed at Xijiu, trembling with anger: "Why are we different from those traitors? It's because we always maintain an unpolluted heart.
"Even if we are forced to live in the heavens and never return to Tongtian Tower, our hearts have not changed, and we are still proud Tongtian Tower warriors."
"If we have to succumb to the desire for profit, then what qualifications do we have to claim to be the people of the Tongtian Tower - what qualifications do we have to claim to have inherited the eternal supreme will of the Tongtian Tower? The reason why we are The chasers are not those traitors hiding in the Central Shen Palace, not the cursed murlocs hiding in this Baihe City, it is because we have never been fooled by the material interests of the heavens, our hearts will always belong to the Tongtian Tower , will never forget one's own fundamentals because of certain interests."
"As your superior and father, I warn you for the last time, son, young stalker, your thinking is dangerous... If you don't turn around as soon as possible, I will disqualify you as a stalker. Warrior of Babel, You can be defeated, you can die in battle, but you are absolutely not allowed to be cowardly without fighting! You are afraid, and you are afraid of the enemy. Or, you can’t act like a coward, shrinking from the unpredictable. My son, without the supreme will of landslides and immovability, no matter what power you gain, you will not be a qualified Babel warrior , No, it can be said that no matter how powerful you are, you can’t become a real strong person if you don’t comprehend the supreme state of mind.”
Boss Ganquan took a deep breath and waved his hand tiredly: "You will leave tomorrow. With your current state of mind and strength, it is impossible to be a qualified tracker. Because of your reckless behavior, the future may It will be very dangerous and we must leave as soon as possible."
Xi Jiu remained silent.
After a long time, he stood up and asked softly, "Father, do you have insight into what is the supreme state of mind?"
Boss Ganquan shook his head.
Xijiu blushed suddenly, and protested in a low voice: "Maybe the higher ups lied to you. You don't need any supreme state of mind at all. If you need it, why do the strong in the central temple not need to comprehend the supreme state of mind to have such a powerful state of mind?" Power? We practice step by step, but we get nothing? The one-way method may be outdated. Only strength can most intuitively reflect the size of a person's ability! As long as we can obtain The strongest power, the supreme state of mind that is limited to the legends, can it be used to its full potential?" Boss Ganquan stared at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger.
After a long time, Xi Jiu lowered his head and said softly:
"Father, I, I was wrong..." You didn't really realize your mistakes. Not as good. Get the hell out of here immediately. With your strength, it is ridiculous to dare to criticize the cultivation that has been passed down from generation to generation. Can you, like an ant, understand the state of mind of a giant dragon soaring above the nine heavens?
Get the hell out of me now, reflect on yourself, I don't want to see you again in a hundred years, get out of here right away! "Boss Gan Quan couldn't hold back his anger, and kicked Xi Jiu out.
Jiu got up in embarrassment, saluted Boss Ganquan respectfully, and walked out with a dejected face.
He quickly packed his personal package.
Put some items needed on the road into the storage ring, and then say goodbye to Boss Ganquan's room.
However, after knocking on the door several times, the angry Boss Ganquan ignored him at all, so he kowtowed a few times with a sad face, and then slipped out of the Whale Tavern without a sound, heading towards the city wall. With incomparable movement skills, he evaded the murloc guards, then dived to a remote and uninhabited corner, released the kayak from the storage ring, carefully sensed the surroundings, and paddled away cautiously... as soon as the kayak slid out of the water. After 100 meters, almost out of sight of the city wall guards, Xi Jiu took out a bottle of black potion from the storage ring, preparing to release the absconding mist.
However, at some time, a half-murloc man with a transparent body like a jellyfish was already standing on the bow of his boat.
"Brother Xijiu, why do you want to leave after only a few days? Are you blaming our defectors for not treating you well as a tracker? Tsk tsk, everyone is from Tongtian Tower. You came back empty-handed, no matter how you say it, you have to find out some secrets, right? Little Brother Xijiu, come on, I will take you to our dungeon, where all the secrets you have been thinking about for a long time are all revealed. You can see it, it’s guaranteed to be clear at a glance! Don’t, please don’t do stupid things. With your strength, if you think of other things, it’s just a process of self-shaming, and you will definitely regret it later..."
"Is it okay to die?" Xi Jiu's face was livid, and he pulled out a blue dagger with a sneer.
"No." The jellyfish-like half-murloc man couldn't stop laughing.
The long arm waved.
Xi Jiu discovered that his body suddenly went numb.
The whole person was as stiff as a stone, unable to move anymore, and even breathing was extremely difficult. At this moment, the shadow of death struck his heart, and it was only at this moment that he realized that his father's previous worries and blames were right...I'm sorry.
He really wanted to go back, say sorry to his father, and tell him that he was really anchored.
However, there is no chance... "I kill at least five little fish like you every year. Young man, don't think that you are going to be a chaser when you are hotheaded. The justice of Tongtian Tower will not be repaid." Come to you to spread the word. Even if we are traitors of the Tongtian Tower, what does it matter to you? You have long settled in Tianjie, married a wife and had children, have you returned to the Tongtian Tower for a day? Have you seen the Tongtian Tower? No, nothing, To you, the Tongtian Tower is just a legendary dream! Do you think there are any strong people there? What a ridiculous idea, the central temple has long since turned it into ruins, and even if there are still people living there, they are just ants The same existence! Young man, don’t always take legends as truth, okay? The Prison Emperor advocated by your ancestors is really so powerful. Why did he let the Central Temple be killed? Don’t talk to me about conspiracy, you know, the world , there are only two kinds of people, one is the living, and the other is the dead... No matter how powerful the Prison Emperor is, he is still a dead person. On the contrary, no matter how weak our so-called rebels are, they are still living people. Whoever is stronger and who is weaker , can’t you tell the difference? Maybe the Prison Emperor is just a fool with a stupid head, and he’s just a piece of trash you preached. , Sorry, you are not qualified!"
..."" The fine nine skills are inferior to others, there is nothing to say, only to close your eyes and wait for death. He is a slightly impetuous young man, but he also has the most basic pride, which is the most basic concept of a warrior. If the opponent He wanted to persuade him to surrender, or to use violence to force him to reveal some secrets. Sorry, but he felt that the only thing he could say was 'You're thinking wrong7.
"Speak up, now, even if the prison emperor's idiot is resurrected, he can't save you, you should be honest with me, otherwise, I don't mind practicing all the methods of torture and extorting confessions on you several times. Smart young man, you should know what I need."
The jellyfish-like murloc man smiled triumphantly.
Xijiu faced each other in silence.
His heart is constantly slowing down, and he has received special training for counter-forced confession. As long as the opponent uses torture, his body will quickly fail and die.
Although he may not be able to survive all the torture with a smile on his face, the other party can't stop the slow death that he, a young stalker who made a mistake, has already started... "You chasers are really a virtue, okay Well, I'll send you on your way, so I won't waste my time." The jellyfish-like murloc man attached to Xi Jiu's guard, and said softly: "Don't you want to know our secret? I'll tell you Hello, this is a secret that only the dead can know! That’s right, we are doing a blood sacrifice, and we are resurrecting our distant ancestors. As long as our distant ancestors are resurrected, he will open the ancient ruins under Baihe City. At that time, we The defectors will jump up and become anti-chasers completely, and send you fools who are pretentious and self-righteous to the central temple... Some of them are very interested in you. The secret is Isn't it wonderful? Unfortunately, you will not be able to pass it back to your ethnic group in this life! Haha, should you be grateful to me? Young chaser, before you die, please don't forget, my The name is... "Actually, I'm not very interested in your name, but can you clarify the secret just now? "
Suddenly, a handsome man wearing a silver mask stood behind the jellyfish murloc, patted him on the shoulder very friendly, and said with a smile, "I've been running for a whole night, and the moisture is even on my clothes." It's all wet, I'm exhausted, I finally heard some secrets that only the dead know, do you think it's easy for me!"
As soon as he appeared, both the jellyfish murman and Xi Jiu were stunned.
Who is this?
When did it appear?
The jellyfish murloc wanted to attack the silver-faced man who came suddenly, but he was surprised to find that instead of being unable to move, he was picked up by the other party like a chicken. With the level of a king, he was almost ashamed in front of the other party. Not even a poor little shrimp, "You, you are..." The jellyfish murloc was scared out of his wits.
"Me? I seem to be the prison emperor who is as stupid as a piece of wood!" The silver-faced man showed a sunny and handsome smile, and did not forget to add: "Of course, I am the prison emperor of the new generation!"
