Chapter 156: The suspicion is reasonable
(Thank you for the 100 starting coins tip from the friend of "Private Blue Face", thank you!!) )
As soon as this sentence sounded from the quiet basement, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The characters in the camp who were still busy immediately raised their heads and looked at Bai Xiao in unison, Fang Tong couldn't help but even stand up and run to Bai Xiao's side!
The dark tomb character was recognized by Bai Xiao, and he would definitely not be wrong when he said this.
Wang Sancai almost came to Bai Xiao's side with his vitality, and looked at it, and sure enough, half of the content of this page of the book was written with the same text logo as the font on the cultivation exercises!
And below is a few lines of annotations, among which, the first three words are the "dark tomb characters" that Bai Xiao said!
It's just that when Fang Tong read out the following annotations word by word, the three of them couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
In the 125th year of the Zhou Kingdom, Zhuang Xiao, the patriarch of the Zhuang family, handed over the cultivation exercises and translations of the 'Dark Tomb Characters' to my Pang family in exchange for a 'Tongtian Dan'."
……
Wang Sancai and Fang Tong's faces became extremely ugly, and the camp characters surrounded them, and Jessica couldn't help but point to the annotations on the book and said curiously: "Hey, what is Tongtian Pill?" ”
But as soon as she said this, she regretted it, because she also saw Fang Tong and Wang Sancai's ugly faces, although she couldn't figure out what was going on, but she also knew that the two of them were in a very bad mood, so she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, took two steps back with some embarrassment, and hid in the crowd.
Fang Tong looked at Jessica, who was hiding in the crowd with a head exposed, and shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't even heard of the name of 'Tongtian Pill' before today, it seems that the Pang family has lost many of the pill production methods in the process of inheritance......"
Wang Sancai looked around and took a hard breath: "Xiaotong, how many years has it been in the Zhou Kingdom now?" ”
Fang Tong looked at the words "125 years of the Zhou Kingdom" on the book, and his face changed a few times: "If I remember correctly, it is now the 323rd year of the Zhou Kingdom." ”
Wang Sancai's heart moved: "In other words, this recorded information is two hundred years ago?" ”
"That's right." Fang Tong nodded, but he could also hear that Wang Sancai seemed to have something to say, so he preemptively asked, "What does the eldest brother want to say?" ”
"Two hundred years ......" Wang San took a breath of strength, and couldn't help but think deeply: "Two hundred years of time has changed too much, maybe the dark tomb character has flowed to other families a long time ago...... I remember that Xiaobai also said before that the exercises recorded in the dark tomb character caused dissatisfaction among many families, and then abolished ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Sancai immediately turned his head to look at Bai Xiao: "Xiaobai, do you remember when the Zhuang family abolished this kind of writing cultivation method?" ”
Bai Xiao looked at the two of them in a daze, and didn't understand what the two were discussing at all, as soon as he heard Wang Sancai take the initiative to talk to him, he had a chance to speak, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know, it wasn't written in the book at that time, I only remember that the book was very worn and old, and no one paid attention to it for many years in our Bai family's study, and I also took it to read when I was bored...... Oh, by the way, the book says it was abolished a long time ago, and with the age of that book, I think it must be at least a hundred years, right? ”
His tone was very uncertain, but Wang Sancai pondered while listening, and then affirmed: "At least in the 125th year of the Zhou Kingdom, this kind of written practice has definitely not been abolished, although I don't know what the effect of that 'Tongtian Pill' is, but just listening to this name must have an extraordinary effect, besides, at that time, it was impossible for the Zhuang family to take the abolished exercise to the Pang family to exchange for the pill." ”
Fang Tong immediately concluded: "Then what can be determined now is that two hundred years ago, the cultivation method recorded in the Dark Tomb has not been abolished, and it can also be determined through Bai Xiao's words that this cultivation method has been abolished for at least a hundred years or so, so if it is calculated, close to a hundred years, the whereabouts of the exercises recorded in the Dark Tomb Character are not known at all, then, can it also be said that the person who gave this exercise to the Chang brothers has nothing to do with the Zhuang family?" ”
He obviously said this to Wang Sancai, but Bai Xiao interjected: "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand it? ”
Fang Tong was a little hesitant whether he should tell Zhuang Biyun about it, but Wang Sancai didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "Xiaotong, tell him, there are no outsiders here." ”
As he spoke, he looked around at the surrounding camp figures and ordered, "Now that your work is done, you can move freely for a while, but you are not allowed to go out of this basement." ”
Originally, when he said the first half of the sentence, the faces of the characters of each camp showed obvious surprise, but after listening to the last sentence, the faces of the characters of each camp instantly withered, and Jessica couldn't help but say more in disappointment: "Hey, what's so fun about not being able to get out of this basement, I'm tired of it, it's better to get us all back!" ”
Although the characters of the other camps did not speak, everyone agreed with Jessica's words in their hearts, this basement was originally only the size of the academy, and there was nothing interesting except for boring statistics, if these camp figures hadn't helped check the data, they would have already stayed here enough, and at this time, when they heard Wang Sancai say that they couldn't get out of the scope of the basement, they couldn't help but be disappointed.
Wang Sancai looked at the disappointed appearance of the characters in the camp, sighed, and said apologetically: "This is an extraordinary time, you must not be able to go out, I know that I am very sorry for you this time, but I promise that when I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely release you all to move freely." ”
Although the characters in the camp don't know when this "future" will be, at least, with Wang Sancai's assurance, everyone can't help but feel better in their hearts.
Wang Sancai didn't have any nonsense, and after seeing that these camp figures had no objections, he summoned them all back to the warehouse, and now, just the inferior yuan stones consumed by these camp characters per hour have already made Wang Sancai a little distressed.
The basement instantly returned to quiet, and Fang Tong also told Bai Xiao in as much detail as possible about the encounter with Zhuang Biyun and so on in the rainforest.
After listening to this long explanation, although Bai Xiao hadn't sorted out his thoughts for the time being, he also understood the intentions of Wang Sancai and Fang Tong, and couldn't help but be curious: "It turns out that you are looking for the origin family of this 'dark tomb character' to report to the Zhuang family!" ”
"Hmm." Wang Sancai nodded, didn't talk too much nonsense, and cut straight to the point, but his tone was slightly disappointed: "We originally thought that we would be able to determine the identity of that person by finding out the origin family of the Dark Tomb Character, but we didn't expect that this exercise actually originated from the Zhuang family itself, but now it's okay, the Dark Tomb Character Exercise has long been missing, and there is nowhere to check it at all." ”
"Whereabouts unknown? No, it won't! Bai Xiao's face was confused: "The records in the book have long been abolished, and they must have been destroyed by the Zhuang family a long time ago!" ”
"Destroy?" Wang Sancai was a little puzzled.
Bai Xiao immediately hurriedly explained: "Yes, the book says that at that time, under the supervision of the major families, the Zhuang family collectively destroyed all the cultivation exercises recorded in the dark tomb characters, and openly let the major families search and supervise the ......."
"Can you tell me everything in the book in one go?" Fang Tong was a little speechless, and glanced at him slightly: "What else is written on that book you have read?" Say it all. ”
Bai Xiao knew that Fang Tong was blaming himself for not telling all the details earlier, so he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head with some embarrassment: "No, that's all there is to say in the book, and there really isn't anything else." ”
Wang Sancai let out a long sigh: "In other words, all the cultivation techniques recorded in the Dark Tomb character in the past have long ceased to exist?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Xiao's tone this time was very affirmative: "At that time, all the major families were watching!" In the face of so many big families, it is definitely impossible for the Zhuang family to hide it privately! ”
Fang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the cultivation technique in his hand, and his face gradually became ugly: "So...... Is this cultivation technique in my hand from our Pang family? ”
As soon as the words came out, the entire basement fell silent.
Since all the Dark Tomb Character cultivation exercises held by the Zhuang family have been destroyed, then there are only these two that the Zhuang family gave to the Pang family two hundred years ago, plus the translation given by the Zhuang family to the Pang family, then, that mysterious person gave this cultivation exercise to the Chang brothers and taught them to practice this exercise...... With such an analysis, the previous doubts have become reasonable!!
Fang Tong's face became more and more ugly, and he finally couldn't help but speak: "Could it be ...... The mysterious third party we guessed before was simply a traitor to my Pang family? The reason why my Pang family was destroyed is also because of him?! ”
His conclusion, while not substantiated, is not unfounded.
After all, since then, the only two remaining Dark Tomb Character Cultivation Exercises and Translations in the world are in the hands of the Pang family, and those who want to get these two cultivation exercises must be an insider of the Pang family, maybe this person really betrayed the Pang family after getting the two Dark Tomb Character cultivation exercises, which caused the Pang family to be wiped out overnight.
At least, a big family like the Pang family that is rich and well-connected, it is not easy for other families to destroy the Pang family from the front, but it is not the same if there are spies colluding with the outside world!
Wang Sancai, who had been silent, finally spoke, but I don't know if he disagreed with Fang Tong's words, or just wanted to comfort him: "Xiaotong, not necessarily, I heard Huang Shikun, the eldest and youngest of the Huang family, say that after the Pang family was destroyed, almost most of the cultivation exercises, equipment, weapons, etc. in the Pang family's study were confiscated by the kingdom, and it is likely that the cultivation exercises of the two dark tombs are also among them...... Moreover, the Zhuang family only destroyed the exercises they held back then, but it does not mean that no one recognizes the dark tomb character, and the cultivation method of the dark tomb character was invented by the Pang family, so the Pang family will definitely be able to create the cultivation method of the dark tomb character in the future. ”
Fang Tong's face was a little better, but the haze lingered: "Then now we have three clues at once." ”
"Not bad." Wang Sancai nodded: "The royal family, the traitors of the Pang family, and the traitors of the Zhuang family." ”
Saying that, he muttered for a while: "Anyway, let's go to the Zhuang family first, although the Dark Tomb character cultivation method has long been destroyed, but Uncle Zhuang, as the head of the Zhuang family, should still recognize this font, we have no way to start on the royal family, and the traitors of the Pang family have no clues, so they can only put their last expectations on the Pang family." ”
Fang Tong couldn't help it: "Then when will we leave?" ”
"The sooner the better!" Wang Sancai looked at the data book in Bai Xiao's hand: "Take it, let's go now!" ”
