Zhang Yitian fell into an unprecedented silence. In the past half hour, he heard perhaps the most bizarre story he had ever heard.
But from the dagger around his neck, it is not difficult to see that the story is very credible.
But the problem then hit his mind like a beast. All this sounds reasonable. Even if it is strange, he can't let him not believe it.
But there is a crucial issue, which is related to Zhang Yitian's life and death!
Zhang Yitian asked Tong Chou this question without much consideration: "but what does all these things have to do with me? Or does the whole thing have a great relationship with the jade pendant, and I just inadvertently participated?"
Facing Zhang Yitian's question, Tong Chou seemed to have expected that he didn't show any impatience, but after a short silence, he came to speak.
"Of course, this matter has a lot to do with you, and you are not involved because of the jade pendant!" Tong Chou said after a moment of silence. "Indeed, the jade pendant is a very important thing about the ultimate. It can be said that it is the only way to open the ultimate secret, and your importance is actually not much lower than that jade pendant!"
It's so important to do it for a long time? Zhang Yitian is more or less flattered. Over the years, he has rarely been so valued.
"But you have nothing to kill me? According to your meaning, am I also the necessary key to open the ultimate secret?" Zhang Yitian thought and added, "but it all sounds contrary. You say Xuanmen is the guardian of the ultimate secret, but why do I think you want to unlock the secret now?"
Tong Chou Mo was silent, but Zhang Yitian could feel the darkness, and his blood gradually churned.
Maybe this guy really killed himself and didn't want to kill himself in advance after answering his questions?
However, Zhang Yitian's tension did not last long, but disappeared with Tong Chou's gradual calm.
"I'll answer your first question first. You are really important for opening the ultimate secret, but this is the idea of others, not mine. They think you are the key. With your participation, this matter will become calm, so both Liu Yin and Feng Chen will be respectful to you!" Tong Chou turned his words and then said, "But I don't think so. After all, it's an internal matter of Xuanmen. It has nothing to do with you. I killed you. I just want to tell those naive people that it's too important and will never be as simple as they think."
Tong Chou spoke faster and faster. Zhang Yitian's heart cooled after listening to it. The interior of the Xuanmen is not monolithic. All kinds of differences and struggles seem to be more fucked than TV dramas!
However, there is a second problem. Zhang Yitian even wondered whether the five remaining families of the Xuanmen began to change gradually because of hundreds of years of waiting.
After all, guarding such a great secret, anyone's curiosity can't stand the temptation.
Therefore, in their generation, they gradually have the impulse to solve this secret.
This idea is reasonable. Although their family has been guarding this secret for thousands of years, there are times of boredom and rebellion in everything after all!
Zhang Yitian is waiting for Tong Chou's answer, but the final answer is very different, even surprised Zhang Yitian.
"Let me answer your second question!" Tong Chou said. "Xuanmen is the guardian of this secret from beginning to end. Of course, we will not give up this mission for other reasons. Maybe you think it is incredible, but some born missions are like this. We can't resist, but we can only accept our destiny!
The ultimate secret is not solved from our original intention. We would rather let the secret continue forever.
But the truth is, as you just said, this secret is like a time bomb. At time, even if no one deliberately opens it, it will still detonate itself.
So now it's not that we're going to unlock it, but that it's going to trigger itself! "
"What are you going to do now? Stop it? Can you understand that once this ultimate secret is solved, the mission of the Xuanmen will be completed, and you will be free and lose the value of existence?" Zhang Yitian said.
Tong Chou nodded and said, "yes, neither. We can't organize this kind of thing. Indeed, as you said, as soon as it is untied, the mission of the Xuanmen will end, and we will have no meaning of existence.
However, our purpose is not to organize its self explosion, but to do our final mission to minimize its harm! "
"Harm?" Zhang Yitian was stunned. "Is there... Any harm?"
Tong Chou didn't answer this time and fell into a long silence again.
Zhang Yitian knew this question. Tong Chou didn't seem to want to answer him, so he chose silence.
Now he was even more curious about what the ultimate secret was.
"What about the jade pendant?" Zhang Yitian asked again, "what is it? What is its function?"
Tong Chou still didn't speak, and his body didn't move at all.
This rigidity even made Zhang Yitian feel that he was facing a dead man.
But obviously not. How can a dead man hold a sword?
Although Tong Chou stopped answering, Zhang Yitian seemed to know too much this time.
Zhang Yitian's questions seemed to have been answered in the past half an hour. Except for some answers that Tong Chou didn't want to say or didn't know, he straightened out almost everything.
Although Tong Chou didn't answer the last crucial question, that is, the purpose of the jade pendant, Zhang Yitian was somewhat satisfied.
Because even if he can't know these questions from Tong Chou's mouth, he can get the answers from others in Xuanmen.
After a long sigh, Zhang Yitian suddenly smiled and said with great ease, "thank you for killing me and saying this!"
Tong Chou said, "now I can do it?"
Zhang Yitian smiled again, but he was not sure whether the other party could see it in the dark.
"Sorry, I don't seem to have that chance!" as soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yitian suddenly stepped on the leg of the stone table and skipped back fiercely.
In the dark, Zhang Yitian's reaction was as fast as lightning. The direction he omitted was the direction in which the black gold ancient knife was thrown out.
Zhang Yitian stepped back, then jumped back and turned over, and picked up the knife that fell on the ground.
At this time, Tong Chou also killed him. The red dagger rushed to Zhang Yitian like a beautiful fire dragon in the dark.
"You just didn't use your best?" Tong Chou was more or less surprised in his tone!
Zhang Yitian jumped back and stepped on the bluestone wall. Then he made another effort, and the whole person skipped over Tong Chou's head.
"If you don't let the water out, can you tell me what you just said?" Zhang Yitian smiled twice, and the man had reached the door. "Thank you for telling me. I really benefited a lot!"
Tong Chou was very surprised at this time. As early as Zhang Yitian had just stepped on the table leg and slid back, he had seen that Zhang Yitian was just different from when he had just fought with him.
Zhang Yitian was shocked by the speed he showed when he just avoided.
Because he had realized how much water Zhang Yitian had just put, Tong Chou lost the idea of chasing again.
He also knew that if Zhang Yitian had full horsepower, he would never catch up.
This is just a gap in speed. Who knows the real strength?
Zhang Yitian smiled at Tong Chou, but said, "well, goodbye. See you later! Although some things are still half understood, thank you for your advice! Mr. Tong said I'm useless for the ultimate secret, so let's wait and see."
After that, Zhang Yitian went out directly
Tong Chou was holding a short sword in his hand. He was a little dull for a while.
At this time, behind Tong Chou, I don't know when, a white shadow suddenly appeared in the dark.
The shadow seemed to appear out of thin air, and became more and more obvious.
Tong Chou didn't seem to care about it. He waited until the white figure gradually became clear, and then turned around.
What appeared was a young man in a white robe, who seemed to be in his early thirties, with long hair flowing like an immortal, just like a figure from an ancient painting.
"Do you think he is really that legend? Is he too weak?" said the man in white. "He is just an ordinary man. It is estimated that only idiots like Liu Yin and Feng Chen will believe that he is the key!"
Tong Chou silently looked at the empty door after Zhang Yitian left. After a long time, he looked back at the man in white and said, "maybe!"
"Maybe what?" the man in white hurriedly asked, but Tong Chou had walked out of the yard.
The man in white couldn't help but show a fox smile and didn't say anything. Just not long after, the whole person's figure darkened again, and finally disappeared directly into the darkness.
On the way back to the company from Shanghe village, Zhang Yitian recalled everything Tong Chou said.
Whether it's the 22 Xuanmen families that have been guarding secrets since the three emperors and five emperors, or the new Xuanmen five families that went bankrupt in order to achieve their goals.
All this sounds strange, but it is real.
Zhang Yitian's thoughts have always fallen on the ultimate secret. Like ordinary people, he has no desire to know such an ultimate secret.
He couldn't help thinking, what kind of secret is worth waiting for so many people for thousands of years?
For these unsolved answers, Zhang Yitian decided to go back and explore from Feng Chen's mouth.
According to Tong Chou, Feng Chenwu and Liu Yin support themselves. Maybe he can ask directly and the other party can say one or two.
After Zhang Yitian returned to the company all the way, he went straight to the laboratory.
It was close to midnight. With a little coolness in the air, Zhang Yitian parked his car and walked alone to the laboratory behind him.
At night, the whole company is very quiet, and there are several lights in the dormitory building in the distance.
Everything seemed very peaceful. Except for a few bird songs, the world was too quiet.
Is it too quiet? Zhang Yitian had this idea in his heart.
He walked past the company headquarters building and could see the laboratory at the corner.
Usually, there should be lights day and night, but today seems a little different
