Chapter 64: Die Well
The old man was tall and thin, with white beards and beards. He was wearing a gray-white coat and leaning on a golden crutch in his left hand. He said that the crutch was not very accurate because this thing was longer than the common crutch, a bit like the Zen stick held by a monk. However, the top was not the nine-ring style of the Zen stick, but a mighty and ferocious beast head. Archaeology learners are all familiar with this kind of beast. This is a legendary Taotie with a big mouth swallowing the sky. Taotie beast opened its mouth wide, with four fangs two at the top and bottom, biting a dark blue round gem in its mouth.
The moment this person appeared, the three of them were stunned. Wu Zhongyuan knew that the little wizard was in the secret room and knew that he was still alive, but he didn't expect that he would come out by himself. Think about it carefully, the stone mortise on the stone gate may control the internal mechanism. If you pull off the stone mortise, the medicine in the mechanism will be emitted to awaken the little wizard.
Unlike Wu Zhongyuan's surprise, Zhao Ying was more surprised. The two of them were hanging on the verge of death. Since the little wizard appeared, he would probably be able to restrain the middle-aged Taoist priest wearing lilac armor.
The middle-aged Taoist priest frowned at this time, staring at the little wizard standing in front of the stone gate, full of vigilance, as if facing a great enemy.
At this time, it is obviously not suitable to call this thin old man by the little wizard, because he is at least in his nineties, even if he cannot be called a great wizard, he can still afford to call him an old wizard.
Nearly a hundred years have passed since the old wizard's last sleep. The long sleeping time seems to have affected the old wizard's mind. At this time, there was a little confusion in his eyes, as if he woke up from a big dream.
The middle-aged Taoist must have discovered this, but he seemed very afraid of the old wizard. Although he was eager to try, he did not dare to step forward rashly.
After the old wizard looked around, he said something to Wu Zhongyuan, his voice was very small and his voice was hoarse.
Wu Zhongyuan was stunned again. He knew that the old wizard spoke Tibetan, but he didn't know how to speak Tibetan.
"Turn to Tibetan and help me translate it." Zhao Ying whispered.
Wu Zhongyuan turned around when he heard the sound and saw that Zhao Ying was not talking to him. Zhao Ying had a communication device on her body, and she should be talking to her companions.
The reason why the old wizard spoke Tibetan may be because when he woke up last time, he was surrounded by Tibetans. Since he could speak Tibetan, he might also speak Chinese. When he thought of this, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to try it, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist not far away snorted coldly, "Hmph."
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head when he heard the sound and found that the solemnity on the middle-aged Taoist face had disappeared, replaced by a little complacent and a little gloating.
He was puzzled and looked at the old wizard following the middle-aged Taoist's gaze. After looking closely, he was surprised to find that there was blood stains on the left rib of the old wizard, and the blood was bright red. It was obvious that he was injured not long ago.
The stone chamber has always been closed and no one has ever been in. How did the old wizard get injured? Could it be that it was accidentally injured when the mechanism was turned on?
After seeing the scenery in the stone chamber clearly, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that the stone chamber was not big and there was nothing extra inside. There was only a crystal coffin in the north and south of the middle area. There was a circular hole on one side of the crystal coffin. Previously, the middle-aged Taoist had thrown a spear to try to stab him to death. He avoided it. The spear stabbed into the stone gate. The two-meter-long spear was only 30 cm away, and the inside was 1.7 meters away. The old wizard was probably injured at that time.
I was anxious, and there was still a chance to delay, "Old man, can you understand Chinese?"
The old wizard was breathing heavily at this time. He heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, tilted his head to look at him, but did not answer.
Seeing the doubts in the old wizard's eyes, Wu Zhongyuan knew that he did not understand Chinese. A hundred years ago, there might not be any Han people in this area. After the old wizard woke up, he was afraid that he would come to him and did not dare to go to the Central Plains.
When the old wizard was found to be injured, the middle-aged Taoist was not in a hurry to take action, but just sneered and waited for the old wizard's injuries to worsen.
The old wizard had already seen the body of the thin man, and also saw the spear that killed him. He stretched out his right hand and pulled out the spear, frowned and looked at it, and at the same time said something.
This time he spoke no longer in Tibetan, but in a language that was somewhat similar to Wu Zhui Yanyu.
Zhao Ying and others would definitely not be able to translate this language, but the middle-aged Taoist seemed to be able to understand it, and he sneered and said something.
The middle-aged Taoist said unknown, but the old wizard's face became more and more confusing.
The old wizard had never come back to his senses, worried that the middle-aged Taoist would mislead him, Zhao Ying hurriedly whispered, "He is the person you are looking for, translated into Tibetan."
Zhao Ying was wearing headphones, and soon the transliteration came from the other party. Zhao Ying repeated it twice rudely. When the old wizard heard this, he turned to look at her.
Wu Zhongyuan had already prepared. When the old wizard turned around, he immediately took out a white jade and handed it over.
The old wizard threw away the spear, took the jade in his hand, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Seeing the old wizard closing his eyes, the middle-aged Taoist not far away was eager to try again, but after hesitating for a few times, he still did not dare to act rashly.
Wu Zhongyuan had no scruples at this time, so he unbuttoned his clothes early, and waited for the old wizard to open his eyes and exposed the golden dragon tattoo on his chest for his discernment.
I don’t know if the old wizard had never seen a golden dragon tattoo before, or for some other reason. After seeing the golden dragon tattoo, the old wizard was not excited, and still had a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying translated Tibetan again and tried to explain, but before Zhao Ying finished speaking, the old wizard raised his hand to interrupt her, and then said a few words in a confused tone.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Ying was not seen talking, Wu Zhongyuan turned around in confusion.
"The Tibetan language he spoke is different from modern Tibetan language, and translation takes time," Zhao Ying said.
The old wizard supported his right hand against his forehead and said a few more words.
Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what the old wizard said.
The old wizard kept talking, his voice getting louder and louder, and his emotions became more and more excited. At the end of the time, the golden rod left his hands and hugged his head with both hands.
Seeing him like this, the two of them were anxious, eager to help but helpless.
At this moment, the old wizard suddenly regained his calmness, stretched out his left hand, grasped the golden rod in his hand, and recited the spell quickly, and a blue light flashed at the top of the golden rod.
It was not until this moment that the two discovered that the middle-aged Taoist had picked up the spear and rushed to the front. While the blue light flashed, the old wizard was also pierced by the other party's spear.
In addition to being shocked, Wu Zhongyuan looked at the middle-aged Taoist urgently, and saw a hole the size of a bowl appeared on the chest of the middle-aged Taoist, stumbled and retreated.
The old wizard fell down and died before he fell down, leaving no last words.
After taking a few steps back, the middle-aged Taoist also fell to death. As he fell down, his armor was scattered all over the ground, and the original lilac armor piece instantly turned black.
Shocked and shocked.
The first thing that came to my mind was Zhao Ying, "Go away, they are around."
Wu Zhongyuan was still in shock at this time and could not come back to his senses immediately. Seeing him like this, Zhao Ying hurriedly contacted his companions, "Let's move west and pick us up."
After saying that, he grabbed the golden stick of the old wizard's finger and dragged Wu Zhongyuan to run west.
It was not until then that Wu Zhongyuan realized, "Have you missed anything?"
"It shouldn't be there, go quickly." Zhao Ying ran quickly.
From the mountainside to the west side of the mountain, he saw a helicopter flying in the northwest from afar. Zhao Ying broke the light stick and pulled Wu Zhongyuan to the flat area at the foot of the mountain.
The other party did not chase after him, and the two ran to the bottom of the mountain and boarded the helicopter that had already landed first.
The plane took off and flew west.
Wu Zhongyuan was riding a helicopter for the first time. The propeller of the plane was very noisy and could not talk to Zhao Ying at all. He was also unintentional at this time. He needed to think and clarify his clues.
The old wizard died and died with the middle-aged Taoist, and he was unable to send him back. This is the most direct consequence.
At the moment, he didn't care about his sadness, and there were even more serious problems waiting for him. According to the thin man's previous words, it is not difficult to find that the old wizard seemed to have set up a formation that could send him back during his awakening, or it may have found some kind of ancient formation. The reason why the old wizard did this was undoubtedly because he was worried that no one would send him back after he died.
But the problem at the moment is that the old wizard has no last words left, and the clues left by the thin man are not complete. He doesn't know what kind of formation it is, nor where it is.
Just as he was worried, Zhao Ying took off the call headset from the cabin and put it on, "The words he said during his lifetime have been translated, and I will play them for you."
The headset then heard a sound. At that time, some kind of translation software, the sound was in standard Mandarin, 'I know who he is. He looks very much like his father. My life has come to an end, and my spiritual energy is also exhausted in the sleep, and I have suffered fatal trauma. I have no ability to send him back.'
When the playback came here, there was a pause, and then "The person in front of me is a master of the enemy tribe. I don't know why he appeared here. I was not sure to defeat him, so I could only lead him over and die with him."
Then there was another pause, and finally a half sentence, 'Finding my descendants, they will...'
After listening to the transliteration, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Zhao Ying, and Zhao Ying was also looking at him. She also heard the transliteration content. "It turns out that he has been very awake after waking up, but he was injured. He could only pretend to be confused and lead his opponent to approach."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "But he was secretly secret, and he didn't expect that the thin man would be his descendant."
"What did you tell you before your lifetime?" Zhao Ying asked. The thin man avoided Wu Zhongyuan's funeral when he explained his funeral to him, and only informed Wu Zhongyuan himself about important matters.
"There is also a third layer of candy paper." Wu Zhongyuan said. The old wizard was originally a spare, but the spare ones are no longer available. Fortunately, there are still spare ones.
"Where is it?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "He died before he finished speaking."
"Is there any trace to follow?" Zhao Ying asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. During his lifetime, the thin man mentioned a man named Abo. This man was probably the brother of the thin man. When the news passed, he could go to the village to find this person.
"Don't be sad, they are the place where they die." Zhao Ying comforted.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Diet to the point? Why should I let others die for me?"
"You are willing to go back," Zhao Ying said, "You could not bear some things, but you chose to bear them."
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to where you want to go." Zhao Ying said. Apart from the two of them, there were only pilots on the plane. The reason why Zhao Ying arranged this way was to make Wu Zhongyuan feel safe.
"Find a place to put me down." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying nodded in agreement and explained to the pilot that it was past 1:00 in the middle of the night, and there were lights in places where people were crowded. The pilot used the lights as a reference to send the two to places where people were crowded.
"Don't let him go." Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, took off his headset and got off the plane.
Zhao Ying was confused, so she followed her and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"
"You let him wait here, I'll say a few words to you." Wu Zhongyuan shouted.
Zhao Ying signaled the pilot to turn off the engine and wait, and then followed Wu Zhongyuan to a big tree not far away.
"I'll give it to you what you want, stop following me anymore." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.
Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion.
"I will give you whatever you want. Don't follow me again in the future." Wu Zhongyuan raised his tone.
"I didn't do well, you can point it out." Zhao Ying said.
"You did nothing wrong," said Wu Zhongyuan.
"Then why did you let me go? You can complete the next thing alone?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know what I do when I connect and do it, but I don't know if it can be done independently."
"Then why did you chase me away?" Zhao Ying became more and more confused.
"If I told you, I would have known that the wizard could not send me back. Do you believe it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Zhao Ying was confused and shook her head in shock.
"I'll tell you the truth. I found a stone tablet on the first layer of candy paper. The stone tablet was left by me when I returned to the ancient times. It describes what will happen next." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying was a little surprised, "What is recorded on the stone tablet?"
"It records some things that may happen next," Wu Zhongyuan said seriously. "I had expected that the wizards here might not be able to send me back, and I also knew that I would go back in a year."
"What does this have to do with me? Why don't you let me follow you?" Zhao Ying asked.
