Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 170: The Sincerity of the Huang Family

The brocade box is not heavy, the cold texture seeped into Shen Ye's heart through the skin, and gradually became scorching hot.After briefly looking at the brocade box, Shen Ye put it away.

"Mr. Shen, won't you check it?" Liu He asked in surprise.

Shen Ye said calmly, "I trust you."

Liu He was taken aback, then smiled: "Thank you."

"Our Huang family is ready, how about you? When are you leaving?" Huang Jue said—this was obviously for Shen Ye.

"Just a few days," Shen Ye stood up, "I won't keep you waiting for too long."

On the same day, Shen Ye and the others took the brocade box and left the Liu family's private house—although Liu He wanted to do his best to be a landlord, and even his subordinates held on to the young people brought by Shen Ye, but Huang Jue really can not wait anymore.

Liu He was extremely helpless about this, but Shen Ye was noncommittal.

When he got the last key, all Shen Ye thought was to go to the top of the snow mountain to open the door as soon as possible.

If it wasn't for the need to make sufficient preparations, he would be happy to set off directly from Liu's private house at this moment.

But when Shen Ye and the others returned to the port, as soon as Liu He, who was seeing them off, left, Huang Jue, who had already been divided into two groups, called.

After the other party finished speaking, Shen Ye frowned.

"Great Master, what's the matter?" Le Wuyi asked.

Shen Ye hung up the phone: "It's nothing, just told us to hurry up." He looked at the five clansmen, "Get ready to go."

The five people bowed respectfully and boarded the yacht one by one.

Seeing that none of the five people had entered the cabin, Shen Ye suddenly said to Xie Yi and Le Wuyi: "Huang Jue wants to talk to us, and the place is at another pier."

Le Wuyi glanced at the yacht first, and then at Shen Ye. He wisely didn't point it out, but instead said, "It seems that the alliance between Liu and Huang is not as strong as it seems on the surface."

Shen Ye didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent.

Xie Yi didn't participate in the discussion along the way, since he got into the Liu family's car, he kept flipping through those photos, going back and forth, over and over again.And Xie Yi's expression, from surprise to anger to disappointment, finally calmed down at this moment.

"Oh...it's so..." Xie Yi closed his eyes, his face pale.

Seeing this, Shen Ye pressed Xie Yi's head on his shoulder, speechless to comfort him.

"Master?" Le Wuyi worried, "What's the matter?" On the return trip, he was still in the car with the two young people, so when he arrived at the harbor, he saw his master's eyes were only staring at the photos.

Xie Yi saw it so much, even when Liu He said goodbye to him, his response was more perfunctory than usual.But Liu He just smiled and didn't care about it.

Shen Ye said, "Go up and talk about it."

Perhaps he was already deeply disappointed, so facing the facts before him, he was not as angry as Xie Yi.

After getting on the yacht, Shen Ye first told the five people to change the sea route—fortunately, due to the influence of ocean currents, there was nothing unusual about such a change, and then they went on the deck.

On the deck, Xie Yi and Le Wuyi were already waiting there.

It can be said that the moment Shen Ye approached Xie Yi, Xie Yi took the initiative to wrap his arms around his shoulders, which was rare and fragile.

"A Ye, let me lean on for a while." The disappointment at this moment came from the heart.

Shen Ye stroked her lover's hair and sighed silently.

The sea breeze was blowing on his face, and it was difficult to blow away the hidden worries in Le Wuyi's heart: "Grand Master, what's going on?"

Although the master tried his best to conceal it, how could he not see such a clear anger?If he had known that he had learned oracle bone inscriptions well back then, he couldn't see anything just by looking at those few murals.

"It's just an objective fact." Shen Ye sneered, "We should have understood it back then, but we have been deceiving ourselves and others."

These words were said to himself, and even more so to Xie Yi.Although Shen Ye likes Xie Yi to show weakness, he never wants Xie Yi to be sad for something that is no longer worth it.

Xie Yi moved his body, and when he opened his eyes, his face was exhausted, and he smiled wryly, "Yes, that's true..." He had long understood that it was just that the problem was imminent, and he couldn't get over that hurdle for a while.

And what those oracle bone inscriptions tell is nothing more than an afterthought story.

Back then, the Lieshan tribe was trapped in Liuyue City, facing a dilemma.What they are waiting for is Shennong's return and finding a suitable place to live.But the gods abandoned Liuyue City, and there was no news of it.After thousands of years, the people of the Lieshan tribe managed to survive in the human world after being contaminated with demonic energy at a painful price.

Liuyue City was destroyed, and the inheritance of priests was almost cut off.No one will remember that there was such a tribe who worked hard to mend the sky, but ended up with a decline in physique and a shortened lifespan.

But just after the destruction of Liuyue City, after all the dust settled, the god who had not been seen for a thousand years—the Emperor Fuxi finally returned.

Facing Liuyue City in the ashes, Fuxi lamented its misfortune, felt its sincerity, and finally preserved the ruins.He buried the remains of Liuyue City under the white snow to commemorate this feat that should not be forgotten.

"And these oracle bone inscriptions are just to tell future generations, don't forget the dedicated Lieshan tribe, don't forget that there was such a tribe who did their best for the sake of the world." At this point, Xie Yi couldn't help but sneer, "Don't Do you forget..."

The painful scenes of the past are vivid in my mind, but in the end, there are only these four words left.

The gods have always been high, how cruel.

Le Wuyi was dazed for a long while: "So that's what happened." Le Wuyi didn't know much about the past of the Lieshan tribe, but he still knew the general situation——Longbingyu didn't want to reveal the pain at the origin of the race. This is mainly to cover up, but with Shen Ye here, Le Wuyi already knows what should be known.

Le Wuyi tried his best to comfort his master: "So it makes sense to say that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky." At least now, the Lieshan tribe no longer needs to enshrine such gods, otherwise, the family would have been ruined.

Xie Yi was depressed, and the photos in his hands made him very disgusted: "A Ye, do you want to take these photos back?"

One more person who knows is just one more resentment.This belated news is like a big joke to Lie Shanbu.

Shen Ye didn't say much, still holding Xie Yi in one hand, and took the photo in the other's hand with the other.The three of them were already leaning on the railing of the boat, when Shen Ye let go, the photos flew away like snowflakes, flashed in the sun, and fell to the surface of the sea one after another, engulfed by the waves.

Such an action is extremely pleasant.

"That's enough." Shen Ye said to Xie Yi, "They're not worth it."

Word by word, very slowly.

Xie Yi suddenly smiled: "Yeah, it's really not worth it."

Longbingyu no longer needs any gods.

**********

The pier that Huang Jue pointed out was not too far away, and when they arrived at the destination, Shen Ye didn't explain, but just told the people in the boat that he was going out for a trip, and took Xie Yi and the others away.

The five young men were left looking at each other.

"Shall we follow?" One of them asked suddenly.

I don't want my companion to stare at him: "What nonsense! How can the high priest's order be questioned!"

"I'm not worried..."

When he found that all his companions were full of displeasure, the man finally told the truth: "Actually... don't you want to look at the high priest more..."

As soon as the words came out, the expressions of dissatisfaction of the companions instantly turned into approval—obviously, they also hoped so.

"Ahem, no matter what, the high priest's order must not be disobeyed." The leader said seriously while blushing.

Seeing the hope shattered, the person who spoke first sighed exaggeratedly, and went to draw circles in the corner.

The pier that Huang Jue pointed out has long been abandoned.Relying on his reminder, Shen Ye and the others finally arrived at their destination after going through several twists and turns.Beside the mountains of steel scraps, they saw Huang Jue waiting there, smoking a cigarette, with an unconcealable exhaustion on his face.

"You guys are here." Seeing Shen Ye, Huang Jue threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his feet.There were two cars parked not far from him, which obviously did not match the number when he left.

"I let the others go back first," Huang Jue said, "I told you to come here, but I just let you meet a few people."

While speaking, Huang Yan and the others had already walked out of the car.Except for Huang Qi, they were all the people who went to the ground together at the beginning—they should also be the people who died.

Even though they knew it beforehand, the dead people stood in front of them with dignity. No matter how calm they were, Shen Ye and the others still had strange expressions.

Seeing that Shen Ye didn't show a surprised expression, Huang Jue took out another cigarette: "You guys really know." So calm, is it Shen Ye?Even he himself could not be so calm.But yes, after all, it was he who "resurrected from the dead" and not Shen Ye.Can other people understand this feeling besides yourself?It would be nice not to shout monsters.

"So? What is your purpose?" Shen Ye asked.

"It's nothing," Huang Jue threw the cigarette on the ground as soon as it was lit, "I just want to tell you our sincerity in going to the Shennong ruins."

Shen Ye raised the corner of her lips: "Oh?"

Compared to the calmness of Shen Ye and the others, Huang Jue and the others were obviously more impetuous.But also, if possible, they really don't want to mention their previous experience in Sand Mountain.

As Shen Ye and the others saw on the ladder, there were only four of Huang Jue and the others left.And relying on the remaining four people, they broke through the encirclement and finally found the magic medicine in Nuwa's tomb.

"Nvwa?"

"Who else is the goddess with a human body and snake tail besides Nuwa?" Huang Jue wondered, "Why, you don't know?"

Before Shen Ye could answer, Huang Jue said clearly: "Yes, you really don't know."

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Huang Jue didn't care, and continued to tell their experiences.Contrary to what Shen Ye and the others thought, Huang Jue and the others did not land on the fairy island, but directly entered the main tomb guarded by the snake man.

In the main tomb, besides the inner and outer coffins, there is also a statue of Nuwa mending the sky, which is just suspended above the inner and outer coffins.What Nuwa is holding in her hand is not a five-color stone, but a copper plate with nine porcelain vases on it.

A porcelain bottle, a miracle medicine.

It can be said that as long as they are ordinary people, they will not be able to help being greedy when they see this scene.What's more, Huang Jue has been going to the ground to wash the sand, and he has always believed in getting as much as he can.

Because of this, it was a big mistake.

It is said that God is omniscient, maybe Nu Wa knows it too, Huang Qi is the only one who needs the magic medicine to save his life.Therefore, when Huang Jue got the first porcelain vase, no mechanism was opened, and when he let someone take the second porcelain vase, countless silver snakes gushed out from the bottom of the coffin.

The silver snake swept up, suffocating for only a moment.Those things penetrated everywhere, Huang Jue couldn't count how many little snakes got into his stomach, and how many tried to get into his brain from his ears.For them at that time, instant death was a relief.

It's just that after death, he "lives" again - relying on the snake Gu in his body.

"Snake Gu?" Shen Ye frowned.Gu worms and the like, he didn't believe Nu Wa would use them.In the eyes of the gods, Gu insects and poisonous insects damage their identity.

"It's just a title I gave it," Huang Jue said. "The thing that can survive happens to be a snake."

Shen Ye said, "Then, how are you sure that it's from Nuwa's tomb?"

"The villagers there told us."

"Village?"

"Yes."

Shen Ye said slowly: "I heard that there is no so-called village there at all."

Huang Jue sighed: "Of course, even if they knew, the local people would think that village didn't exist."

"reason?"

"The locals say it's a cursed village, who knows?" Huang Jue shook his head and said, "But they claim to be descendants of Nuwa."

Huang Jue obviously didn't want to say more about that village: "That is to say, they told me that we are almost dead. Now we can still talk and breathe, thanks to the Snake Gu. It's just that the life of the Snake Gu itself is short..." Huang Jue couldn't continue, he lit the third cigarette, his eyes were slightly red.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other, such a bizarre thing, believe it or not?

"Our ancestors of the Huang family are special," Huang Jue continued. As for what is special, he did not say clearly, "As long as it is a medicine handed down from ancient times, we will have some records. It's just that it has been too long, and most places can't find it."

"So the elixir of the Shennong ruins is our last hope."

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, tentatively accepting their flawed explanation: "So, why do you want us to come here?" He didn't believe that Huang Jue and the others came here just to express their "sincerity".

"You'll know right away." After speaking, Huang Jue nodded towards Huang Yan, and saw the man return to the carriage and took out a small package.

Shen Ye frowned and took the package, and opened it in front of everyone.

After seeing the appearance of the thing clearly, Le Wuyi was startled: "Meow, this is not... this is..." He pointed to the brocade box in Shen Ye's hand, speechless in shock.

Xie Yi also stared blankly at the brocade box in Shen Ye's hand, the one-legged copper bird and the pattern of vines, it was clearly another key!
