long night fire

Ah... what does the leader mean?How did you ask such a strange question?While Long Yuehong was in a daze, she suddenly had a clever move.

DiMarco, or the awakened person who "played" DiMarco and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, is in the realm of "Bodhi"!

In the ruins of Tieshan City across the mountain, there is one of the five holy places of Buddhism!

It seems like a bit of a coincidence.

It wasn't until this time that Long Yuehong really understood the reason why the team leader insisted on waiting for Gnawa at Hongshiji instead of the area near the ruins of Tieshan City.

Not only did she want to see the effectiveness of the work of the Ark Management Committee, but she also planned to investigate the issue of "Yan Hu" and the relationship between DiMarco and the Buddhist holy land in the ruins of Iron Mountain City.

Chapter 47 "The Devil Opens His Eyes"

Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, a look of surprise flashed across Song He's face.

The question asked by the other party was very strange, and had a clear direction, as if he wanted to explore something.

As a vigilant sect clergyman in a remote corner, although Song He has rich life experience and sufficient experience, his vision is ultimately limited to such a small place as Hongshiji, and the most involved are certain personnel changes and teachings of the sect. Disputes, and little understanding of the ruins of the city across the mountain, which led to him clearly hearing that Jiang Baimian wanted to investigate a certain secret, but he had no way of guessing.

As thoughts surged, Song He smiled bitterly:

"Frankly speaking, I have only met Dimarco's great-grandfather Montes. At that time, I was just a small person, hehe, and now I am. In short, I have not contacted him more than five times.

"He would leave the ark from time to time, come to the surface, and go to different places. As for where he went, I don't know.

"Later, he converted to our sect and believed in Zhisui, and he never went out of the 'underground ark' until he died.

"The same goes for his son, his grandson, DiMarco's grandfather, his father."

Perhaps it was because he had been in Hongshiji for too long, and he needed to use Honghe language to preach to the believers from time to time. Song Heyan would occasionally bring in the grammatical features of this language when talking.

Uh, how did he convert to your sect and believe in Zhisui, he was forced to conquer... Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"What kind of man was DiMarco's great-grandfather Montes?"

"Proud to be arrogant, majestic to be unkind, and his eyes are very intimidating." Song He replied calmly, "His specific character, as I said just now, I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't know him very well. Thinking of me, you might as well ask the old servants and guards of the ark, and go through Montes's collection of books, maybe he has the habit of keeping a diary?"

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"Who is a decent person..."

His subsequent words were interrupted by Jiang Baimian:

"If Montes is hiding a secret, he will definitely not record it in the diary unless he wants to tell others in the right way at the right time."

"What if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder of diary writing?" The honest Shang Jianyao argued.

Song He's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained gentle:

"I'm just proposing a direction for investigation."

"Understood." Jiang Baimian said sincerely, "Thank you."

Then, she bid farewell, and led Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong to the door.

Seeing that Taoism was close at hand, she suddenly turned around and asked casually:

"Did your church send someone to check the books in the 'Underground Ark'?"

After the establishment of the Ark Management Committee, the "Old Tune Group" did not let go of the underground collection of books, but at that time they did not know that there was a Buddhist holy site in the ruins of Iron Mountain City next door. I am not very interested in any experiences I have had, and the focus is mainly on the part of the books about doomsday theory.

——The ancestors of the Dimarco family were fanatics of doomsday theory, so they built an underground ark specially for this purpose, and the collection of books at home will naturally not lack corresponding content.

Song He's eyes moved slightly, he nodded slightly and said:

"Send a few priests there, because the collection of 'Underground Ark' contains many technical materials and valuable books related to the civilization of the old world, which will play a very important role in the future of the Redstone Collection and in welcoming the advent of the new world for mankind. .

"This is the wealth left to us by our ancestors, humans in the old calendar."

Having said that, Song He changed the subject:

"However, we didn't take any of the orphan copies, we just made copies of them."

His other meaning is that if there are many books of the same kind, the vigilance sect will take away one or two of them.

"En." Jiang Baimian nodded slowly, "Did you find any records worth noting?"

Song He shook his head.

……

Inside the ark, the second basement floor, the previous reception room.

The "Old Tune Group" brought in Ulrich, the former ark steward.

"What kind of person was the first owner of the Ark, Dimarco's great-grandfather Mr. Montes?" Jiang Baimian asked straight to the point.

Ulrich recalled for a few seconds, deliberating his words and said:

"He died before I was born, but my grandfather, a deacon appointed by him, mentioned him to me.

"His personality is very similar to DiMarco in all aspects, but he is not so manic and violent."

That's because he hasn't been imprisoned in the ark for many years, unable to get out, and his psychology is completely distorted... Long Yuehong "helped" explained in his heart.

"What about things other than personality?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Ulrich looked at Shang Jianyao who was still wearing a monkey mask:

"He used to be a follower of an ancient religion in the old world, and he often carried the "Holy Book" of that religion with him. Dimarco and his father and grandfather's hobby of always wearing the clothes of the priests of the old world was directly or indirectly influenced by him come.

"However, he finally believed in Zhisui, joined the sect, and found peace in the last few years of his life."

That's because the same person has a consistent aesthetic tendency for clothing... Long Yuehong once again replied in her heart.

Religion... classics... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.

Bai Chen then asked:

"Is the "Sacred Book" still in the library, the one Montes always carries?"

"Now, the sect just took away a few other holy books." Ulrich was quite sure.

Because Shang Jianyao had reached the point where he was drowsy and barely able to support himself, Jiang Baimian, who didn't need to worry about getting off topic, let out a "hmm":

"Do you know what books Mr. Monteith reads most? Does he keep a diary?"

Ulrich shook his head:

"He's not a record guy.

"Moreover, he and DiMarco's father, grandfather, and even DiMarco himself, all hate prying eyes and never let people know their reading preferences."

Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

"By the way, is the family autobiography we read last time still there?"

It was the autobiography written by the DiMarco family before the destruction of the old world. The "Old Tune Group" mainly looked through the parts about the end of the world and the ark, and found that it was indeed the ancestor who was too fanatical to think about building an underground ark. Instead of getting any news in advance.

This time, Jiang Baimian decided to go through it again, looking carefully at the things that were skipped and roughly scanned a few times.

"Yes." Ulrich replied calmly.

……

It is located in the library room on a certain floor of the underground ark.

Ulrich picked up a dark red cover "Holy Book" that was placed on the desk in the middle, and handed it to Jiang Baimian:

"This is the one Mr. Monteith always carries."

When Jiang Baimian took it, he looked at the bookshelves around him, and felt that this place was more like a library than a library.

"You can go back and rest," she said to Ulrich.

Ulrich didn't insist on staying here, because he didn't know whether he was suitable to participate in the next thing.

When Ulrich left the library, Jiang Baimian said to Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao:

"I read this "Holy Book", and you re-read those autobiographies of the DiMarco family. Hey, if your dizziness is severe, you can lean against the bookshelf and sleep for a while."

"Okay." Shang Jian Yao said with his eyes closed.

He slowly slid to the ground and fell asleep on the spot.

How informal...Long Yuehong muttered and picked up a volume of autobiography that Ulrich had sent to the desk.

Time passed quietly, only accompanied by the slight rustling sound of flipping books.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Baimian saw the part about hell and devils in the Holy Code.

Suddenly, she noticed that in the blank space at the bottom of a certain page, someone had written a paragraph in dark blue ink.

The discourse composed of the Red River script is:

"I woke up from the darkness and the devil opened his eyes."

For some reason, Jiang Baimian's spine was a little shivered by this straightforward and slightly scribbled sentence.

She quickly flipped through the back part, but couldn't find any new "notes".

There seems to be only such a little extra "content" in the entire "Holy Code".

"Look at this." Jiang Baimian beckoned Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to come over, while guessing, "After the destruction of the old world, the words left by Montes when he woke up for the first time in the ark? He was I have already figured out what ability I have acquired, and my emotions are complicated and difficult to contain, so I wrote this sentence and feel like I have become a devil?"

Long Yuehong was about to stand up and walk towards the team leader, when her gaze suddenly caught on to a sentence in her autobiography:

"In order to develop the family's construction business, the eldest son Montes was sent to the neighboring city of Tieshan to participate in the bidding for the renovation of the old city..."

Long Yuehong's pupils dilated and blurted out:

"Team leader!

"Montis has been to Iron Mountain City! Before the destruction of the old world!"

There really is a certain connection between the two!

Chapter 48 Sleepy Thoughts

Long Yuehong's words reverberated in the library room, like thunder one after another, exploding in the hearts of Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.

The first owner of the "Underground Ark", Montes, who is suspected to be DiMarco himself, has actually been to Iron Mountain City!

To Jiang Baimian's surprise, he did not go there in the chaotic era, but before the destruction of the old world.

Jiang Baimian stood up abruptly, walked to Long Yuehong, and took the autobiography in his hand.

After reading it several times, Jiang Baimian said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen with surprise on his face:

"Let's find out when Montes came back, where he has been and what he has done in Iron Mountain City."

The three of them buried their heads in each other again, flipping through the volumes of autobiography.

This time, they even filtered out the punctuation marks unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Baimian and others finally extracted all the content about Montes in the autobiography.

At the time of writing his autobiography, he was not the head of the family, but the eldest son who inherited the highest order, so his various activities did not take up much space, and he was only mentioned occasionally when recording other things.

As for Montes participating in the bidding for old city renovation in neighboring Tieshan City, this set of family autobiography does not indicate whether it was successful or not, but Jiang Baimian judged that Montes did not participate in other family affairs until more than a year later. It should be that the bid was successful, and he stayed in Iron Mountain City for a long time.

"Montis was then sent to be responsible for the construction of the city's landmark buildings until the destruction of the old world... This shows that he left Iron Mountain City a few years before the destruction of the Old World...'The Second Food Company of Iron Mountain City' was in the Old World Is there a certain amount of weirdness in the world?" Jiang Baimian made a reasonable guess.

The city corresponding to the ruins of the Red Stone Collection is a place with a fairly developed economy in the old world. It is mentioned in the autobiography that the labor cost is high and the efficiency is reduced. year is normal.

"And the 'Underground Ark' was built many years before he went to Iron Mountain City, so it obviously has nothing to do with the weirdness of the Second Food Company." Bai Chen felt that things still couldn't really be connected together.

After discussing for a while, Jiang Baimian turned his wrist to look at the electronic watch, covered his mouth and yawned:

"It's a bit late, let's go back to bed and continue tomorrow morning."

She felt that there were so many books here that it was impossible to complete all their achievements in one battle. Since she had made some progress, it was better to rest well, recharge her spirits, and fight again tomorrow morning.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong glanced at the sentence that Montis or someone else wrote in the "Holy Code", seeing that they would not be able to think of new ideas for a while, they agreed to Jiang Baimian's proposal.

Jiang Baimian took a few steps to the side, bent his back, grasped it with his left hand, and directly lifted Shang Jianyao, letting him lean on him and accept the support.

This guy has absolutely no intention of waking up.

Long Yuehong, who wanted to volunteer to help, suddenly had a flash of thought, and closed her open mouth again.

The group of four returned to the second basement floor in this way, and came to the two rooms arranged by Ulrich.

This is between the two of them, Jiang Baimian specially requested to ensure that they can take care of each other.
