Chapter 1003: [Only the Dead Know the Secret]

Old Iron Anchor returned to his home full of wine bottles.

With his feet, he randomly stirred a little gap in the ground, and in the middle of the stinking garbage, he seemed to lie down very comfortably, as if lying on a fragrant garden meadow. No one has entered this house for more than 300 years, and no one has entered his room since the female soldier with the broken arm who wanted to marry the old iron anchor left in despair because of her indifferent attitude towards the old iron anchor.

Before the old iron anchor could fall asleep, a few rats had already come out of the hole in the corner of the wall, crawling everywhere, causing several wine bottles to roll and collide and thump.

However, the old iron anchor turned a blind eye.

It was as if the few dangling in front of him were not mice, but invisible air.

Outside the window, Gan Quan, the owner of the immigrant businessman who rented the ancestral land of the old iron anchor and built the "Whale Drinking House", was telling the guy who had just been recruited Xi Jiu: "Brother Iron Anchor is used to going to bed early, don't knock on the door, throw the food directly from the window, and throw it on the highest iron hook, remember to throw it accurately, this rope must be hung on the hook just now, otherwise, the rats will steal food." By the way, every three days, Brother Iron Anchor will be short of wine, and then you have to put the wine at the door in time, he can not eat, but the wine must be enough!"

"Understood, boss, rest assured. "The new guy Xi Jiu is a clever person, and he remembers a lot of things after just saying it once.

"Smack!"

He went to the window and took a look.

Slowly reach in, wrap the cooked food wrapped in oiled paper and tied with rope in your hand and gently toss, just throw it onto the iron wire hook hanging down from the roof, as long as the old iron anchor wants to eat, after the bed, as long as you stretch out your hand to get it.

Finally, Xi Jiu thought about it for a while, and stacked more than a dozen bottles of wine on the left side of the door, believing that the old iron anchor could be seen as soon as he opened the door.

This service has been around for hundreds of years, rain or shine.

The old iron anchor does not charge rent. Although Gan Quan, the owner of the Whale Drinking House, consciously put most of the rent in the Steel Guild and sent someone to store it for Lao Tie Anchor, as long as Lao Tie Anchor is willing, he can receive and use it at any time. The old iron anchor never went to get the money, he didn't collect rent, but he made a request to let Ganquan, the owner of the whale drinking house, take care of his wine, as long as there was enough wine to drink, then there was no problem with a qiē.

In this way, the habit of giving food and wine has been delayed for hundreds of years.

Snoring loudly, the old iron anchor fell asleep comfortably.

However, the hungry rats were a little anxious, and they were looking forward to the slightly fragrant food above their heads for more than a day or two, and they did not have enough intelligence to obtain this food, and they were so anxious that they circled around the ground.

When the rats were half exhausted and tried all the tricks but still had nothing to do, they had to leave in disgrace.

The old iron anchor's closed eyes suddenly opened, and they shone brightly.

The nose was still ringing with a sleeping snoring.

He suddenly took out a small black box from under the bed, twisted the clockwork on it vigorously, and the mechanical transmission of the small box rubbed against each other, and it made a strange purring sound similar to that of an old iron anchor, which was extremely similar. After replacing his snoring with the sound of a small box, the old iron anchor was like a light smoke and shaped like a ghost, indescribably fast, as light as an old cat walking at night...... Unfazed, he slipped into the kitchen, which looked like it hadn't been used for a long time, and pressed it lightly from the bottom of the hidden stove.

The whole stove cracked silently.

An underground passage with a black hole is exposed, diagonally downward.

The old iron anchor touched it lightly somewhere, and the moment the stove was closed, the whole person was as soft as a bone into the underground passage.

After about a minute, a faint spot of light appeared in front of the dark passageway, and a little closer, it was revealed to be a large steel platform. On top of the steel platform, there was a steel door, and several huge steel gears snapped into each other, becoming the driving force bearing for its entry and exit.

The gorilla and lobster-eyed man who have been replaced by special steel armor look like dutiful guards.

Standing in front of the steel gate.

Seeing the old iron anchor coming, the two of them saluted respectfully at the same time.

The lobster-eyed man asked with a little curiosity: "Boss, why are you nearly three minutes slower than usual today?

The old iron anchor's face sank like water at the moment, and he snorted lightly: "In that guy's shop in Ganquan, there is a newcomer again...... Perhaps, he already knows something, and he is a little suspicious, the new Xi Jiu, eighty percent was sent over there to investigate me. That Xi Jiu, on the surface, is a scum, but secretly has the strength of the Heavenly Rank, such a guy, will go to Baihe City to be an apprentice? That turtle foot excuse, it's really laughing to death! You guys keep a close eye on me secretly, and if there is a slight change, you will kill Ganquan and Xi Jiu and the others, and at this important juncture, there is absolutely no room for any abnormality!"

"Yes!" replied the gorilla and lobster-eyed man with a solemn face, his eyes flashing with murderous intrigue.

At this time, outside the old iron anchor's tin hut, a person was standing.

That clever fellow, Hosojiu.

He flashed out of the window, as fast as lightning.

When he returned to the inner room of the Whale Drinking House, Ganquan, the owner who had been smiling and making money all day, was waiting for him with a solemn face.

"The man wasn't there. Hosojiu saluted Ganquan respectfully and made a gesture suggesting backwards.

"You're too risky! You've only been here for a few days, and you've not been able to dispel other people's guards, and it's just nonsense to go and find out that guy's whereabouts! You don't know how terrible that guy is...... Before you, there were already twelve trackers like or even better than you, who died at his hands. I understand what kind of mentality you have now, you want to prove your ability to the top as soon as possible, but this kind of earnest practice will only accelerate you to death... Do you know how much time it took us, how many generations, to find the source, we have been working since 20,000 years ago! It took us three thousand years to get into this White River City, and you, because of your desire to succeed, almost ruined all of our efforts. "Boss Ganquan's voice was not loud, but extremely stern.

"I was wrong, father, but I really can't wait. They are now killing people like crazy, and sacrificing the lives and blood of their slaves, if they don't open the Water God Palace, they just want to fight some ancient ruins, we must not let them succeed, otherwise, our chaser clan will no longer be able to suppress them. Now that the strength of our pursuers is getting weaker and weaker, if these traitors are allowed to obtain the secret treasures of the Water God Palace or the ancient ruins, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xi Jiu knelt in front of the Ganquan boss and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Father quickly inform the Avengers and Inquisitors above to come and wipe out this White River City, otherwise we can only watch them grow stronger and get rid of our pursuit, and may even carry out an endless reverse pursuit." ”

"Don't call me father...... , here there are no fathers and sons, only lurkers and trackers, only superiors and subordinates. Boss Ganquan corrected sternly, but suppressed his voice, even in the secret room, he definitely didn't speak loudly.

"Yes. Xi Jiu nodded yes but didn't get up, but reached out to hug Boss Ganquan's legs.

"You're an unqualified tracker. Boss Ganquan slapped Xiao Jiuyi angrily: "At any time, you can't let your emotions influence your tasks!"

"Father is no longer the time to conquer the queen and the prison emperor to be famous in the heavenly realm, and now the heavenly gate is closed, and the Tower of Babel can no longer be returned. We have become alone, and the Tower of Babel has made the Central Yang Temple crush and collapse, I don't know what year and month it will be before another powerful existence like the Prison Emperor can be born. The power of the betrayers is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more strong people emerging, and we, the number is getting smaller and smaller, and the territory of power has been destroyed by the Zhongyiyang Temple many times, and it won't be long before we can no longer gain a foothold in the heavenly realm, even if someone is willing to take us in, we will send people under the fence...... As long as we eliminate the traitors in White River City and kill all those who have been cursed and mutated into fishmen and monsters, then this territory will belong to our pursuers. With the secrets of the Water God Palace or the ancient ruins, we Chaser Clan will definitely be able to emerge more and stronger excellent descendants, Father, this is our best chance, we must ...... before the traitors. Xi Jiu pleaded bitterly.

"You rebel ...... who pollutes your soul with lust for profit. Boss Ganquan pointed at Xi Jiu, trembling with anger: "Why are we different from those traitors? ”

"Even if we are forced to stay in the heavenly realm and never return to the Tower of Babel, our hearts have not changed, and we are still proud of the Tower of Babel warriors. ”

"If we have to succumb to the desire for profit, then what qualifications do we have to claim to be the people of the Tower of Babel? What qualifications do we have to claim to have inherited the eternal supreme will of the Tower of Babel? The reason why we are the chasers, not those traitors hiding in the temple of Zhongyanyang, and not the cursed fishmen hiding in this White River City, is because we have never been deceived by the material interests of the heavenly realm, and our hearts will always belong to the Tower of Babel, and we will never forget our own roots because of some interests. ”

"As your boss and father, I warn you one last time, son, young tracker, that your thoughts are dangerous,... If you don't turn around, I'll disqualify you as a tracker. The samurai of the Tower of Babel can be defeated and killed, but you must not be cowardly without a fight! You are afraid, you are afraid of the enemy, and there is nothing wrong with that, because you are an ordinary person, but as a chaser of traitors left behind by the Tower of Babel in the heavenly realm, you cannot be like a coward, cowering at unpredictable things. My son, without the supreme will of the landslide, just by opportunism, no matter what power you gain, you will not be a qualified Babel warrior, no, it can be said that even if you have the strongest strength, without the Supreme state of mind, you will not be able to become a real strong person. ”

Boss Ganquan exhaled deeply and waved his hand a little tiredly: "You will leave tomorrow, with your current state of mind and strength, it is impossible to be a qualified tracker." Because of your reckless actions, the future may be very dangerous, and you must leave as soon as possible. ”

Xi Jiu was silent.

After a long time, he stood up and asked softly, "Father, do you have insight into what the Supreme Mind is?"

Boss Izumi shook his head.

Xi Jiu suddenly blushed, and argued in a low voice: "Maybe that's because the above deceived you, you don't need any Supreme Mind at all, if you need to, why do the powerhouses of the Central Yang Temple don't need to comprehend the Supreme Mind Realm, and they have such a powerful power? We go to cultivate step by step, but we don't get anything? The immutable method may be outdated, as long as the strength, can the size of a person's ability be the most intuitively revealed!" As long as we can obtain the strongest power, wouldn't that supreme state of mind, which is limited to legends, come to fruition?"

Boss Ganquan looked at him coldly, his expression was like looking at a stranger.

After a long time, Xi Jiu lowered his head and whispered, "Father, I was wrong...... ”

"I feel sorry that you don't really recognize your mistakes, I thought you were the smartest, and you were the most competitive one, who didn't know, you were worse than your wooden big brothers. You give me a roll immediately, with your strength, you dare to criticize the cultivation that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is simply ridiculous, you who are like an ant, can you also understand what kind of state of mind the dragon soaring above the nine heavens is? Get back to me immediately, reflect on it in a hundred years, I don't want to see you again, get out of me immediately!" Boss Ganquan couldn't help but be angry, and kicked Xian Jiu out.

"Yes. The fine nine wolf got up in embarrassment, respectfully saluted the boss of Ganquan, and walked out with a dejected face.

He quickly sorted out his personal package.

Pack some items you need on the road into the storage ring, and then go to the room of the boss of Ganquan to say goodbye.

However, after knocking on the door a few times, the already angry boss of Ganquan ignored him at all, so he had to bow a few heads with a gloomy face, and then quietly slid out of the whale drinking hall and flew towards the city wall. Evading the half-fishman guards, he dived into a remote and uninhabited corner, releasing the kayak from the storage ring while carefully sensing his surroundings. While cautiously paddling away from the water after the kayak slid out of the water for a hundred meters, it was almost beyond the sight of the city wall guards, and took out a bottle of black potion from the storage ring, ready to release the absconding fog.

But, at some point, a half-fish-man man who was as transparent as a jellyfish was already standing at the bow of his boat.

"Little Brother Xijiu, it's only been a few days, why do you want to leave? Do you blame our defector clan for not treating you as a tracker well? Tsk, everyone is a fellow from the Tower of Babel, how could the eldest brother let you go back empty-handed, no matter what, I have to let you find out a little secret, right? Brother Xijiu, come on, I'll take you to our dungeon, where all the secrets you've been thinking about for a long time can be seen, guaranteed to be clear at a glance! Don't, please don't do stupid things, with your strength, if you think about anything else, it's just a process of self-humiliation, and you will definitely regret it later......".

"Isn't it okay to die?" Xi Jiu's face turned pale, and he sneered and pulled out a blue dagger.

"No, I can't. The jellyfish-like half-fish-man man burst out laughing.

The long arm waved.

Xi Jiu found that his body was suddenly paralyzed.

The whole person was as stiff as a stone, unable to move anymore, and even breathing was extremely difficult. At this moment, the shadow of death hit his heart, and it was not until this moment that he realized that his father's previous worries and reproaches were right.......

I'm sorry.

He wanted to go back, say sorry to his father, tell him that he was really wrong.

However, there is no more opportunity,...

"A little miscellaneous fish like you, I kill at least five more every year, young man, don't think that if you are hot-headed, you have to be a chaser, the justice of Babel Tower, it is not your turn to preach it. Even if we are traitors to the Tower of Babel, what does it matter to you? You have already settled in the Heavenly Realm, married a wife and had children, have you ever been back to the Tower of Babel for a day? Have you ever seen the Tower of Babel? No, nothing, the Tower of Babel is just a legendary dream for you! What a ridiculous idea, the Central Temple has already turned it into a ruin, and even if there are still people living there, it is just a mole like an ant! Young people, don't always take legends as true, the prison emperor advocated by your ancestors is really so powerful, why would he let the Zhongyang Temple die? Don't tell me any conspiracy, you also know that there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is the living and the other is the dead"... No matter how powerful the Prison Emperor is, he is still a dead man, on the contrary, no matter how weak our so-called defector is, they are also living people, and you can't tell which of the two is strong and which is weak? Maybe the Prison Emperor is simply a fool with a wooden head, and he is simply a waste of wood that you have preached, and you people are just living in a daydream woven by yourself, what kind of justice and judgment, sorry, you are not qualified!"

“......”。 Fine nine skills are not as good as people, there is nothing to say, only close his eyes and wait for death, he is a slightly impetuous young man is good, but he also has the most basic pride, that is, the most basic concept of a martial artist, if the other party wants to persuade to surrender, or to force violence to ask what secrets, I'm sorry, he feels that the only thing he can say is "you think wrong"

"Speak, now, even if the fool of the Prison Emperor is resurrected, he can't save you, you better be honest with me, otherwise, I don't mind practicing all the methods of torture and confession on your body several times. Bright young man, you should know, what I need. ”

The jellyfish-like half-fish-man man smirked.

Hosojiu is silent as the opposite.

His heart is constantly beating slowly, and he is specially trained to resist the persecution, as long as the other party is tortured, his body will quickly fail and die.

While he may not be able to survive the torture with a smile on his face, he cannot stop the slow death ...... that the erring young tracker has begun.

"You pursuers, you are really a virtuous person, okay, I'll send you on your way, save me a waste of time. The jellyfish-like half-fish-man man attached himself to the side of Hosojiu's guard, and said softly, "Don't you want to know our secret? As long as our distant ancestor is resurrected, he will open the ancient ruins under the White River City, and at that time, we will jump up and become the anti-pursuers completely, and send you pretentious fools who claim to be righteous and righteous to the Zhongyang Temple...... Some of them are very interested in you. Isn't this a wonderful secret? Unfortunately, you will not be able to pass it back to your people in your lifetime!Haha, should you not be grateful to me? Young pursuer, before you die, please do not forget, my name comes."

"Actually, I'm not very interested in your name, but can you make the secret a little more clear?" Suddenly, a handsome man wearing a silver face, standing behind the jellyfish man, patted the other party's shoulder very kindly, and smiled: "I ran all night, this humidity even made my clothes damp, tired and tired, and finally heard a little secret that only the dead know, do you say that I am easy!"

As soon as he appeared, the jellyfish man and Xi Jiu were both stunned.

Who is this?

When exactly did it appear?

The jellyfish man wanted to attack the sudden silver-faced man, but was surprised to find that not only could he not move, but also let the other party pick him up like a chicken, he had the level of the lord of the country, in front of the other party, he was not even as good as a poor little shrimp, "You, you go" ,... "The jellyfish man was frightened.

"Me, I seem to be the silly prison banquet in your mouth!" The silver-faced man smiled brightly and handsomely, and did not forget to add, "Of course, I am the new generation of prison emperors!"
