Chapter 73 News from Paper Moon

After listening to the words of the ancestor of Southern Xinjiang, Li Xiu felt that this was like a certain phenomenon in modern society, which is called the coexistence of risks and opportunities. If you want to get a chance to live, you must first take the risk of death. Maybe you will because of fear Death makes you give up taking risks, but you don't know that hope often lies behind the risks, so he is very lucky to meet friends like Zhang Xiaofan. They are simple and direct, and they seem to do things without considering the consequences, but if they don't do it, they will He never knows whether the result will be good or bad. This is very similar to himself when he was young. Isn't he also unwilling to be ordinary and dare to try different challenges?

"Come here, take the fifth body out and bury it properly. His death can be regarded as a contribution to our family. In addition, carry them both back to the guest room so that they can rest. It shouldn't be long before they die." I will wake up." Nanjiang Patriarch ordered his subordinates.

"Anyway, thank you." Li Xiu said.

The Patriarch of Nanjiang didn't expect that Li Xiu would suddenly say such a word to him, he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only smile and nod to him, as if he understood.

"Since you have said so, then I also hope that you will fulfill your promise to me and stay here." The Patriarch of Nanjiang suddenly thought of their calling conditions, fearing that Li Xiu would go back on his word, he hurriedly emphasized it again.

"Don't worry, I won't go back on what I promised you." Li Xiu said.

I don't know why, although the young man in front of him is the head of the clan, he doesn't really hate him. He is not like other people in the world who are superior, but he is more down-to-earth, a bit like a polite and humble man. The feeling of the rich second generation.

So he really can't hate him, and he also knows that even if he needs to stay here temporarily, they don't think it will hurt him.

"Can the bronze mirror be handed over to us?" Nanjiang Patriarch said again.

"To be honest, I can stay here, but we can't hand over the bronze mirror to you for the time being. I will definitely do what I promise you, but now I still have a very important thing to do. Can you Give me a few days, I will definitely hand it over to you after I finish it." Although Li Xiu agreed to stay here, he still has a more important thing to do, which is Zhiyue.

"If you have anything, you can tell me, maybe I can help you solve it." The ancestor of Nanjiang said.

This matter has nothing to do with Nanjiang. Li Xiu was originally planning to find out the bottom of this place first and then mention this matter. He was worried that the ancestor of Nanjiang would not meddle in his own business, but now that he himself If he offered to help Li Xiu solve the problem, then Li Xiu himself would happily tell him about finding Zhiyue.

So the two walked out of the room and came to the front hall, where the servant had already made tea...
"Do you know why I went so hard to find the bronze mirror? Apart from what it can bring us, the more important thing is you, I mean 'you'."

Li Xiu listened with confusion on his face when the ancestor of Nanjiang said that he was interested in him instead of the bronze mirror, so he became curious and asked: "Why me? I can't stay here for more than 24 hours. "

"I know this, just like what you did to that girl just now, although the bronze mirror can bring us advanced things, what you can bring us is advanced knowledge. Compared with knowledge, material wealth has nothing to do with it." It’s nothing, I’m not like my father, and grandpa, they only care about some commodities that can be exchanged with money in the bronze mirror, but how these commodities are used, how they are produced, and what other things are there besides commodities, that’s all. That's what I care about. So I need you to be in our place, tell me what I don't know, and help me make Nanjiang Village a more paradise-like place. As long as you are from my clan, you don't need Go out and make a living, as long as you live here, you can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy the knowledge achievements of the future world." After the ancestor of Nanjiang finished speaking, there was a kind of excitement in his eyes, that kind of light was curiosity about the future world, and his desire for the future world. Xiu could understand it completely, thinking that he had also thought about it before, since the bronze mirror came to this world inexplicably, there must be his reasons, it has the ability to change this era, but it was hidden by the Big Bamboo Peak only for use by Qingyunmen , This is so unfair, how much he hopes that everyone can share the resources from the future world together, but this is just his good idea after all, because even if the times are different, human beings are still selfish after all, no matter who they are , to obtain this unexpected treasure, they must want to monopolize it, just like this Southern Xinjiang ancestor.

It’s just that he is a little different from them, he is very young, and he still has the ability to learn. He is different from other sects because of his selfishness. He wants to use it to change the status quo of their village, which is at least better than Qingyunmen.

"I see, I will help you, but the prerequisite is that I need to find my wife. I came to this world for my wife." Li Xiu said.

"Why is your wife here with us? What's going on?" Nanjiang Patriarch looked puzzled.

"To be honest, it wasn't me who delivered the courier here before, it was my wife. I used to be a very ordinary courier in modern society. My wife and I have a very good relationship, but one morning she suddenly disappeared. It became very strange, and then there was a very serious car accident, and she died. Since her death, I have received the news that Qingyunmen has delivered a courier, so I have taken over her job, but every night I I dreamed of her, she told me she was in a very dark place, she was very scared, she asked me to save him, since I came to your world, I think this thing must not be as simple as it seems on the surface, I heard that Nanjiang Wuling can bring people back to life, so we stole the bronze mirror and came to Nanjiang." Li Xiu briefly told the origin of the whole incident to the Nanjiang Patriarch, and the Nanjiang Patriarch listened to him After speaking, I understand clearly.

"It turns out that I wasn't the patriarch when Tongjing was here. At that time, my grandfather and my father were both there. I seldom participated in the affairs of the clan, but I know that there was indeed a girl who came and went to our village at that time." , brought us the contents of the bronze mirror, but later the bronze mirror was lost, and my grandfather was seriously injured, and I never saw that woman again." Nanjiang Patriarch said.

"We will pass through the portal every time after you place an order, and the address of the portal will not be too far away from the bronze mirror, so if the bronze mirror is lost, my wife will definitely not come back here .” Li Xiu analyzed.

"But I know that my father has been looking for him, because they think that as long as they find the woman, they will be able to find the bronze mirror. Later, I heard from the elders in the clan that my father did find the woman and brought her I came back, but did not find the bronze mirror. Later, the woman herself came to us several times, but there was no news of the bronze mirror, and when the bronze mirror was lost, my grandfather was seriously injured for some reason. How long did it take to pass away." Nanjiang Patriarch said.

"I guess someone must have stolen the bronze mirror and stamped it on your grandfather." Li Xiu said.

"Impossible, Nanjiang Village is really not accessible to anyone who wants to, there must be some other reason. Later my father took over the affairs of the clan, and later he knew that the bronze mirror was stolen by Qingyunmen Go, but at the same time, he also found that Qingyunmen locked the bronze mirror in the Treasure Pavilion. The materials used in the Treasure Pavilion are said to come from the sky. He managed to find that woman, and he thought that woman must hold the secret of the bronze mirror, and she must be able to find a way to help me get back the bronze mirror. Now, hearing what you said, that woman should be your wife, but later I don't know why that woman never appeared again, because I didn't care much about these things in the clan at that time. I was only interested in researching the newly bought things at that time, so I didn't bother to look for the bronze mirror at all. Things." Nanjiang Patriarch said.

"Then how did your father die?" Hearing this, Li Xiu felt that this matter finally had some clues.

"My father?! In fact, my father did it to save people... There is a person in my family's secret room. My father became the guardian of the spirit to protect the three souls and seven souls of that person. The so-called spirit guardian It is a secret technique of our clan, which is to plant spiritual Gu on yourself and the other party, and share your soul with the other party. It is not so much about death, but it is similar to the living dead. I have never understood who would make me Father is so determined to support his life, and now my father and that person are in the secret room, and I am still trying to find a way to detoxify the poison, but so far I have found nothing." Nanjiang Patriarch said.

"So in fact your father is not really dead, but just a living dead?" Li Xiu asked.

He had heard of the living dead, it wasn't real death, it was a bit similar to modern brain death, although people looked the same as dead, but the body still had a certain ability to breathe and metabolize.

"It's like this." The ancestor of Nanjiang continued: "So I hope you can bring some new knowledge and methods to help me save my father. I really don't understand why my father wants to save a very old man. The dead person, if you rescue him, he will not live for a few days at his age. Before saving him, my father told me that no matter what, he must guarantee the life of that person and not let him die completely. Why do you think this is?" The Patriarch of Nanjiang really couldn't figure out this question, so he started to ask Li Xiu back. Li Xiu thought to himself that this place of yours is really mysterious enough, not to mention that you can raise dead people, and you can use your Gu worms to do so Troublesome, if this technology is left in modern society, I don't know how much chaos the society will cause. Even a biologist can cultivate countless Gu worms, and co-authoring and planting them in other people's bodies to make others follow his command is simply social. It was messed up, and it was horrible, but fortunately, this technology disappeared.

"Wait, he said his father was going to save an old man?! The old man! Didn't he himself become a twilight old man once because he almost didn't rush back to the modern society? Could it be that old man?!"

Li Xiu seemed to have realized something suddenly, he immediately became excited and said, "Can you take me to see that person? That old man, and your father."

"Why, do you think this has something to do with your wife? The old woman my father saved was a dying old woman. How could it be your wife?" Nanjiang Patriarch said.

"It's a woman, and that old man is still a woman? Quick! Take me to see, I don't have time to explain to you now, can we talk as we walk?" Li Xiu said.

"Okay..." So Nanjiang Patriarch and Li Xiu walked towards the secret room and Li Xiu explained to Nanjiang Patriarch some things about their courier.

"What's your name?" Li Xiu asked.

"Qi Yuan." It turned out that the ancestor of Nanjiang was called Qi Yuan, Li Xiu nodded and said, "I will teach you Qi Yuan from now on. You are always called Laozu Laozu, and you are not old."

"It's all right. The name I mentioned is a code name. Tell me, what secret do you want to tell me?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Actually, every time we deliver a courier to you, we can only stay here until midnight. You probably don't know that, once we approach or exceed midnight, our lives will end here. I also I don’t know, that time I drank with Xiaofan and the others at Dazhufeng, and as a result I suddenly turned into an old man at midnight, if it wasn’t for Xiaofan and the others who sent me off before midnight Back in my time, I must have died here that time, so I just said that the old man you mentioned may be my wife. She must have not returned to our world in time for some reason, so she just died. It will become like an old man, and as for your father, he must not know what to do with her, so he can only use spirit Gu to save her." Li Xiu finished his guess.

Qi Yuan also looked suddenly enlightened: "According to what you said, if she is really your wife, then it must be the reason you said, then if it is really her, you send her back to your world, Will she be saved, and will my father be saved too?"

"I don't know. I have to meet with you to know whether my guess is correct. If so, it would be the best." After Li Xiu finished speaking, the two almost ran forward in order to confirm their guess as soon as possible. Came to the door of the secret room in southern Xinjiang.

Is it a combination lock? !Li Xiu was stunned instantly. They actually bought a combination lock in modern society, and it was solar-powered. No wonder there were no guards outside. Nan Jiang pressed his finger on the combination lock, and when the lock was recognized After the fingerprint information, the heavy stone door slowly opened, and it was dark inside, so they found torches.walked in...
