Chapter 64 A worthy death

The old man is tall and thin, with a white beard and beard. He is wearing gray linen clothes and is holding a golden crutch in his left hand. It is not accurate to say that the crutch is because it is longer than the common crutch. It is a bit like a Zen stick held by a monk. But the top is not the nine-ring style of the Zen staff, but a majestic and ferocious animal head. Anyone who studies archeology is familiar with this beast. This is a legendary glutton with a huge mouth that swallows the sky. The glutton beast has a wide mouth. , with four fangs, two on each side, biting a dark blue round gem in his mouth.

The moment this person appeared, the three of them were all stunned. Wu Zhongyuan knew that the little wizard was in the secret room and that he was still alive, but he did not expect that he would come out on his own. Thinking about it carefully, the stone tenon on the stone door probably controlled the interior. If you pull out the stone mortise of the mechanism, the medicine in the mechanism will be released, thus awakening the little wizard.

Different from Wu Zhongyuan's shock, Zhao Ying was more surprised. Their lives were hanging by a thread. Since the little wizard appeared, he must be able to restrain the middle-aged Taoist priest in lavender armor.

The middle-aged Taoist priest frowned at this moment, staring straight at the young wizard standing in front of the stone door, fully alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

At this time, it is obviously not appropriate to call this thin old man a little wizard, because judging from his appearance, he is at least ninety years old. Even if he cannot be called a great wizard, he can still afford to call him an old wizard.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since the old wizard last fell asleep. The long sleep seemed to have affected the old wizard's sanity. At this time, there was a little confusion in his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a big dream.

The middle-aged Taoist must have discovered this, but he seemed to be very afraid of the old wizard. Although he was eager to try, he did not dare to step forward rashly.

After looking around, the old wizard said something to Wu Zhongyuan, his voice was low and hoarse.

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned again. He knew that the old wizard spoke Tibetan, but he did not know Tibetan.

"Switch to Tibetan and translate it for me." Zhao Ying whispered.

When Wu Zhongyuan heard the sound, he turned around and saw that Zhao Ying was not talking to him. Zhao Ying had a communication device on her body and was probably talking to her companions.

The reason why the old wizard spoke Tibetan may be because he was surrounded by Tibetans when he woke up last time. Since he can speak Tibetan, he may also speak Chinese. Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan was determined to try, but for a while I don't even know what to say.

At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist not far away snorted, "Humph."

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head when he heard the sound and found that the solemnity on the middle-aged Taoist's face had disappeared, replaced by a little pride and a little gloating.

Confused, he followed the middle-aged Taoist's line of sight and looked at the old wizard. After a closer look, he was surprised to find that there was blood seeping out of the old wizard's left rib area. The blood was bright red. It was obviously an injury he had suffered not long ago.

The stone chamber has always been sealed and no one has ever entered it. How did the old wizard get injured? Could it be an accidental injury when the mechanism was turned on?

After seeing the scenery in the stone chamber clearly, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that the stone chamber was not big, and there were not many extra things in it. There was only a crystal coffin placed north and south in the middle area. There was a circular hole on one side of the crystal coffin. Previously, the middle-aged Taoist had thrown a spear in an attempt to stab him to death, but he dodged and the spear pierced the stone door. Of the two-meter-long spear, only 30 centimeters of the handle remained on the outside, and the inside was 1.7 meters deep. The wizard was probably injured at that time.

I was so anxious that I dared to delay, "Old man, do you understand Chinese?"

The old wizard was breathing heavily at this time. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, he tilted his head to look at him, but did not answer.

Seeing the doubt in the old wizard's eyes,

Wu Zhongyuan knew that he did not understand Chinese. There might have been no Han people in this area a hundred years ago, and the old wizard did not dare to go to the Central Plains area for fear that he would come after he woke up.

After discovering that the old wizard was injured, the middle-aged Taoist was not in a hurry to take action. He just sneered and waited for the old wizard's injury to worsen.

The old wizard had already seen the body of the emaciated man and the spear that killed him. He stretched out his right hand and pulled out the spear, frowned and looked at it, and at the same time said something.

This time he no longer spoke Tibetan, but a language somewhat similar to Wu Zhui’s language.

Zhao Ying and others definitely couldn't translate this language, but the middle-aged Taoist seemed to be able to understand it, and said something with a sneer.

It was unclear what the middle-aged Taoist said, but the puzzled look on the old wizard's face became more and more intense.

The old wizard had never come to his senses and was worried that the middle-aged Taoist would mislead him. Zhao Ying hurriedly whispered, "He is the person you are looking for. Translate into Tibetan."

Zhao Ying had earphones, and soon the transliteration came from the other party. Zhao Ying repeated it twice stiffly. When the old wizard heard the words, he turned to look at her.

Wu Zhongyuan had already prepared it. When the old wizard turned his head, he immediately took out a white jade and handed it over.

The old wizard threw away the spear, took the jade in his hand, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Seeing the old wizard closing his eyes, the middle-aged Taoist not far away was eager to try again, but after several hesitations, he still did not dare to act rashly.

Wu Zhongyuan had no worries at this time. He unbuttoned his clothes early and waited for the old wizard to open his eyes, revealing the golden dragon tattoo on his chest for him to inspect.

I don’t know if the old wizard has never seen a golden dragon tattoo before, or there is some other reason. After seeing the golden dragon tattoo, the old wizard was not excited, and still had a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying translated into Tibetan again and tried to explain, but before Zhao Ying could finish speaking, the old wizard raised his hand to interrupt her, and then said a few words in a confused and confused tone.

After waiting for a moment, Zhao Ying didn't speak, so Wu Zhongyuan turned his head in confusion.

"The Tibetan he spoke is somewhat different from modern Tibetan, and translation takes time," Zhao Ying said.

The old wizard put his right hand on his forehead and said a few more words.

Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying looked at each other, they couldn't understand what the old wizard said at all.

The old wizard kept talking, his voice became louder and louder, and his emotions became more and more excited. At the end of the sentence, the golden staff left his hand and he held his head in his hands.

Seeing him like this, the two of them were extremely anxious, eager to help but unable to do anything.

At this moment, the old wizard suddenly regained his composure. He reached out with his left hand and grasped the golden staff in his hand. He recited the incantation urgently and a blue light flashed from the top of the golden staff.

It was not until this moment that the two discovered that the middle-aged Taoist had picked up the spear and rushed forward. As the blue light flashed, the old wizard was also pierced through the left chest by the opponent's spear.

In shock, Wu Zhongyuan looked at the middle-aged Taoist eagerly, and saw a hole the size of a bowl appeared on the middle-aged Taoist's chest, and he was stumbling back.

The old wizard fell down, and died before he fell, leaving no last words.

After taking a few steps back, the middle-aged Taoist also fell to the sky and died. When he fell, the armor on his body was scattered on the ground, and the original lavender armor instantly turned into black.

Shocked, stunned.

Zhao Ying was the first to react, "Hurry up, they are surrounding us."

Wu Zhongyuan was still in shock at this time and could not come to his senses immediately. Seeing him like this, Zhao Ying hurriedly contacted her companions and said, "We are moving west, come and pick us up."

After saying that, he grabbed the golden staff from the old wizard's finger and dragged Wu Zhongyuan to the west.

Only then did Wu Zhongyuan react, "Did you miss anything?"

"Probably not. Let's go quickly." Zhao Ying ran quickly.

Running from the mountainside to the west side of the mountain, she saw a helicopter flying from the northwest. Zhao Ying folded the light stick and pulled Wu Zhongyuan towards the flat area down the mountain.

The other party did not chase them. The two ran down the mountain and boarded the helicopter that had landed first.

The plane took off and headed west.

Wu Zhongyuan took a helicopter ride for the first time. The propeller noise was so loud that it was impossible to talk to Zhao Ying. He was not in the mood to talk at this time. He needed to think and clear his mind.

The old wizard died and died together with the middle-aged Taoist. There was no way to send him back. This was the most direct consequence.

He couldn't care less about his sadness at the moment, as there were more serious problems waiting for him. According to the emaciated man's previous words, it was not difficult to find that the old wizard seemed to have set up a formation that could send him back while he was awake, or he might have found someone. This is an ancient formation. The old wizard did this because he was undoubtedly worried that no one would send him back after his death.

But the current problem is that the old wizard has no last words, and the clues left by the thin man are incomplete. He doesn't know what kind of formation it is, nor where it is.

When he was worried, Zhao Ying took off the headset for communication from the cabin and helped him put it on, "The words he said during his lifetime have been translated, and I will play them for you."

A voice came out of the headset immediately. It was some kind of translation software at that time. The voice was standard Mandarin, "I know who he is. He looks like his father. My life has come to an end, and my spiritual energy is also being consumed in my sleep." He suffered fatal injuries and was unable to send him back. ’

When the playback reaches this point, there is a pause, and then "The man in front of me is a master of the enemy tribe. I don't know why he appears here. I am not sure of defeating him, so I can only lure him over and die with him."

Then there was another pause, and finally a half-sentence, 'Find my descendants, they will...'

After listening to the transliteration, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Zhao Ying, who was also looking at him. She also heard the content of the transliteration, "It turns out that he has been conscious since he woke up. He was just injured, so he could only pretend to be confused to attract his opponents."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "But he was so careful that he didn't expect that the thin man was his descendant."

"What did that man say to you before he died?" Zhao Ying asked. The thin man avoided Wu Zhongyuan when explaining his funeral affairs to her, and only told Wu Zhongyuan himself about important matters.

"There is also a third layer of candy wrappers." Wu Zhongyuan said. The old wizard originally had a spare here, but the spare is no longer usable. Fortunately, there is still a spare.

"Where?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "He died before he finished speaking."

"Is there any trace to follow?" Zhao Ying asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. The thin man once mentioned a man named Abo before his death. This person is probably the brother of the thin man. When the news passes, you can go to the village to look for this person.

"Don't be sad, they died in the right place." Zhao Ying comforted.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "A worthy death? Why should I let others die for me?"

"As long as you are willing to go back," Zhao Ying said, "there are some things you could not have carried, but you chose to carry them."

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Where are we going now?"

"Go where you want to go." Zhao Ying said. Apart from the two of them, there was only the pilot on the plane. The reason why Zhao Ying arranged this was to make Wu Zhongyuan feel safe.

"Just find a place to put me down." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying nodded in agreement and told the pilot that it was around one o'clock in the middle of the night and there were lights in the inhabited places. The pilot used the lights as a reference to send the two to the inhabited places.

"Don't let him go." After Wu Zhongyuan said that, he took off the headset and got off the plane.

Zhao Ying didn't know why, so she followed out and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"

"Ask him to wait here, and I'll say a few words to you." Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

Zhao Ying signaled the pilot to turn off the engine and wait, then followed Wu Zhongyuan to a big tree not far away.

"I'll give you whatever you want, but don't follow me anymore." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.

Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan doubtfully.

"Whatever you want, I'll give you whatever I can. Don't follow me anymore." Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice.

"You can point out what I didn't do well," Zhao Ying said.

"You did nothing wrong." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then why did you let me go? You can do the next thing alone?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know what to do next. I don't know if I can complete it independently."

"Then why did you push me away?" Zhao Ying became more and more confused.

"If I told you, I already knew that the wizard couldn't send me back, would you believe it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Zhao Ying didn't know why and shook her head in astonishment.

"Let me tell you the truth, I found a stone tablet on the first layer of candy wrapper. The stone tablet was left by me back in ancient times. It narrates what will happen next." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying was a little surprised, "What is recorded on the stone tablet?"

"It records some things that may happen next," Wu Zhongyuan said seriously. "I have long expected that the wizard here may not be able to send me back. I also know that I will go back in a year."

"What does this have to do with me? Why don't you let me follow you?" Zhao Ying asked.

"The wizard here's failure to send me back means that even if I know the result in advance, I can't change it. If you continue to follow me, you will die because of me..."
