Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan at the bottom didn't know that someone in the stone castle had secretly decided their fate, but they didn't need to know either. After all, their fate was never in the hands of others.
Looking up along the long stone steps one by one, the spiral steps seem to lead to the endless gloom. In front of Qinyu warm and lengchangxi, Mengman turned around and said coldly, "come on up."
Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan looked at each other and went up calmly. AChA and the other four were left at the bottom of the castle and guarded. It seems that no one can go to the stone castle.
On the last step, Qin yunuan, who has a keen sense of smell, can clearly ask about the smell of fireworks in the room. Even if the ventilation in the room is good and the traces are clean, Qin yunuan's nose can't escape. In the fireworks, it seems that there is a smell of beetles being burned.
As Qin yunuan expected, in the middle of the room is a small stove surrounded by stones. There are some pebbles in it. The pebbles are red and hot. The temperature is still very hot. Just beside the stove, a white haired old man is studying carefully with a turtle shell in his hand. Beside the window door, a man of about 40 years old is staring at Leng Changxi. He is smart His eyes and proper dress are different from that of any person in this tribe. He looks like an aristocrat coming out of the royal family, with a calm and leisurely smile. This is the "King" who sat by the window before.
"When a distinguished guest arrived, the king smiled and ordered a beautiful woman around him to pour tea." now that he has come, he will sit down and talk. "
The woman picked two earthenware cups out of the cupboard and pulled some tea leaves out of a earthenware pot. The color of the tea leaves was black, which was different from other tea leaves in the mainland. Qin yunuan carefully observed that this should be the local property of Yeren valley. It seems that this man is very familiar with the use of Yeren valley. He can be called the "King" of Yeren valley 。
"This is my father, who is also the leader of the tribe. He gave everything to the tribe."
"King" is only a smile, but it can be seen that he is very satisfied with the title.
The king turned his head and asked the old diviner, "what's the matter? Hasn't the result come out yet? "
The old man looked embarrassed, and his pale eyebrows trembled. "It's a strange divination." When he was about to hand the tortoise shell to the king, the tortoise shell broke into scum and fell to the ground without any sign.
The fragmentation of tortoise shell in divination is really a bad omen. The king immediately stood up and pointed to Leng Changxi and said, "come and kill them."
Mengman is the first one to rush up, but a close to Leng Changxi is forced back by the cold temperament of Leng Changxi.
But immediately, there was a commotion on the steps, and seven or eight men had rushed up from the stone castle because of the order of the "King".
"What does that mean?" Leng Changxi, protecting Qin yunuan, also suggested that AChA and others who rushed up with the men should not panic. "Your son invited us hard, but it was such a war. At least, he had to give me a clear word."
The king glanced at Leng Changxi and said, "do you need a reason to kill? Young man, if you ask what you know how to do, you are all strange. You are going to die. You have to ask why, as if you can change the result. Young man, sometimes the result is cruel, you still don't know well. "
Leng Changxi holds the gun in his hand: "if I want to know." In fact, there are foreshadows for things without reason, and the foreshadowing of this tribe is the biggest secret of savage valley.
Almost for a moment, the king's face suddenly changed. He silently waved to others to retreat. Even monman had to leave, leaving only Qin Yuwen and Leng Changxi, as well as the old diviner.
The atmosphere was a little quiet. For a long time, the king said, "you Have you practiced Qigong of tongmingmen? "
Just now, when Leng Changxi was lucky enough to protect Qin yunuan, the "King" felt Leng Changxi's real Qi. But as for Tongming gate, Leng Changxi didn't even hear of it.
"How about practice? How about not practice?" Leng Changxi is not ready to answer this question directly.
"Tongmingmen is the Royal School of Xixia. Kung Fu has always been taught only to the royal family of Xixia, because this kind of Qigong has a benefit. With the development of the offspring, the power of Qigong will only become more and more profound, which is a very worthwhile business." The king explained.
And such Qigong? Qin yunuan listened carefully, and then the king continued: "only, this Qigong has advantages and disadvantages. If the Kung Fu that the parents devote themselves to cultivating is so easy to be inherited by their children and grandchildren, if the children and grandchildren have the heart of rebellion, isn't it to help the tyranny. At the beginning of the Western Xia Dynasty, the founding of the people's Republic of China, this method is indeed conducive to the unity of the members of the royal family, but later? So now King Donghua, the king of Xixia, has forbidden royal family members to continue to practice Qigong of tongmingmen. Where did you come from? "
Leng Changxi is jingdonghua's own son, and jingdonghua is the most powerful martial arts of that generation. His son inherits his father's career. It's no wonder that lengchangxi's internal skill is much deeper than that of his peers. Even if he is injured, he is easier to recover, and his martial arts practice is more savvy than that of ordinary people.Leng Changxi actually learned the tone of the "King" and asked, "do I need a reason to know this Qigong?"
"King" a Leng, then a smile: "young man, you are arrogant enough, I like, but even if I like, you will be a corpse later." The king held the earthenware cup on the small tea table beside him. It was half a cup of warm tea inside. After drinking the tea, he pushed himself against the window with his hands, and then moved out from the dark part of the window below his knees.
Qin yunuan was shocked. She found that the legs of the seemingly powerful "King" had shrunk like two bamboo poles. They were shriveled, weak and even unable to hold. Leng Changxi narrowed his eyes slightly. He also saw the twisted legs.
"The king" smiled quietly, pointed to his calf and said: "you don't need to sympathize with me. My ending is good. There are many people who don't know how to let go. They have lost more than me, because they are all dead."
Under the king's chair, two wheels were installed very attentively. He could barely move with the help of wheels. He turned to Leng Changxi and said with a smile, "twenty years ago, I was a blacksmith in the village. My iron making skills were famous in eight villages in ten li. So that night, a man suddenly came to me and said that it was an emergency supply list When I was asked to go, I didn't have any doubt. Who knows? This time, I couldn't go back. A group of well-dressed people locked dozens of our blacksmiths in a big iron cage, and then made a cruel selection. One by one, they were selected to show their craftsmanship. If they were a little unqualified or inferior, they would be killed immediately, even a chance to breathe There will be none. "
"The king" sighed: "how many old blacksmiths, who used to be the top ironsmiths, lost their lives because of nervousness. At that time, everyone was afraid, just because I thought more than ordinary people. I knew that since they were so eager to find a skilled blacksmith, they would kill people. Naturally, they have huge strength. I dare not fight hard. Fortunately, I am the most powerful After that, I survived, and then was blindfolded all the way, and was taken to this mountain forest without exit. "
"Is it a weapons factory?" Asked Qin yunuan.
"You know a lot," said the king, a little surprised, shaking his head. "At that time, we were not qualified to enter the factory because of our low qualifications. We were only responsible for building the army and horse formation around the factory."
"Battle of horses?" Qin yunuan has also read Leng Changxi's military books, but he has never heard of such array.
"Well, it seems that" the king "and Qin yunuan are not rare to explain too much." there are many formations and mechanisms outside the weapons factory. Even if there are maps, they may not be able to enter the factory alive. Later, those outstanding people among us are gradually selected to work in the factory. I am one of them, but the three-year work system is very stressful, many of them People have had a strange idea. It's a windfall to steal the weapon map and sell a small part of it to any country. The workers in the factory broke out many times, the biggest one, and I participated in it. But later on we were on the way to escape, the weapon map we stole was dropped on the ground. Some people were reluctant to part with it, I ran back to get it, but I forgot that there were troops and horses around the factory. I was killed by the mechanism I built. I was shocked to see him die, but I was more thankful that I didn't give my life for a few drawings in that area. "
"Later, you settled down in this savage Valley, domesticated the original residents and established their own tribes, or even their own civilization?" Leng Changxi looked at the "King". He was a real king and a real founder.
"You are a genius," Leng Changxi exclaimed. In a flash, you can see a smug passing through the king's eyes. Then, Leng Changxi bowed his head and smiled. "But you are a fool. You are only glad that you didn't lose your life for the map like everyone else, but you spent most of your life for a weapons factory that you can't reach. I see If you touch your leg, you will know that your leg injury must also be related to the weapons factory. "
"The king" said coldly: "yes, I have been trying to enter the weapons factory for 20 years, but the array around me is not clear to me. My legs were accidentally abandoned when I tried to find the entrance seven years ago. The closest one was two years ago, but I found that the last door was the biggest obstacle, not without a key The key holes of that door have been bet on by hot metal. The only way to get in is to use internal skill to knock the door open. But that door weighs thousands of Jin. Only the most pure and powerful tongmingmen Qigong in the world can do it. But the inheritors of tongmingmen Qigong are limited. Now they have broken their blood vessels. I have waited for a long time and sent someone to look for them for a long time. Now, the people I want to look for are here Yes. "
