It’s for a promise made four hundred years ago.” As he spoke, the leader of the foreign race pointed to the first mural and said, “Back then, our ancestors accepted one thing as a favor, and we wanted to do something for them.
A person, or in other words, is willing to stay in such a world forgotten by the world for the sake of a name, until the end of time, doing one thing year after year, and from then on being separated from the world, drifting to the end of the world, no longer interested in worldly affairs.
Without the past of the mortal world, only this line of East China Sea remnants are left, guarding here for generations."
Li Luo quietly looked at the first mural pointed by the leader of the foreign tribe. The mural was very simple. There were only two people. One of them wore a high crown and his appearance could not be seen clearly. The other person was lying on the ground, bowing his head and worshiping. There were more than ten people above it.
The small characters were more than three inches deep into the stone. Si Youjuan glanced at them for a few times and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what is written?"
"Thank you again for your kindness. I will keep my name anonymous and swear to guard the dragon gate without breaking my heart." Li Luo read softly.
The foreign leader looked at Li Luo in surprise and said, "Do you recognize these words?"
Li Luo took a breath and said slowly: "Four hundred years ago, this was the writing of the Shang Dynasty." After saying that, Li Luo suddenly understood. No wonder that although he could understand the words of the foreign leader, there was always something strange in his words.
It felt like Li Luo had never figured out where this strange feeling came from. It wasn't until he saw these sixteen words that he realized that the tone of the foreign leader was the word used by the previous dynasty. Although it was in the same vein as Dagan, the subtleties were different.
There are different.
"Yes, it is the writing of the Shang Dynasty." The leader of the foreign tribe felt quite sad and sighed, "Back then, our tribe was in trouble and was in danger of extinction. Fortunately, we got help from our benefactors, and this solved the end of our tribe and people.
, and my ancestors made great ambitions at that time. In order to repay their kindness, they concealed their clan names and led the surviving clansmen to the East China Sea to guard Yuelongmen for generations for their benefactors. When people live in Longmen, they will survive when they die! "
"Hey, this is really..." Si Youjuan was about to comment when he saw the extremely unkind look in the slender figure beside him, and then he laughed and kept silent.
"What happened to our clan back then is a thing of the past and has nothing to do with this story. It doesn't matter if we don't tell you. What I want to tell you today is the story of Leaping over the Dragon Gate."
"Everyone doesn't poop in this place. What's there to protect? Even if you ask me to come in a big sedan chair, I won't even come." Si Youjuan muttered coldly.
"There is indeed nothing to defend in the desperate situation of Longmen. My people are guarding Longmen alone, not to guard the dangerous mountains and rivers here, but to guard the promise we made back then." The leader of the foreign tribe continued calmly.
"What bullshit promise..."
"Yao Lan Ling, don't make mistakes!" The leader of the foreign race shouted out. After he stopped shouting, the slender figure who was about to teach Si Youjuan a lesson calmly responded, "No matter how absurd the oath is, since the ancestors have made the oath, we will wait for you later."
People should obey it.”
Si Youjuan didn't say much. Although he thought these people were pedantic, he also admired them somewhat. They could live and thrive in such a place for more than four hundred years. Without great perseverance, they would not be able to endure such loneliness.
Li Luo's expression was calm, neither praising nor sighing. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yao Lanling, nodded slightly, and said harmoniously: "You are waiting for the ship to arrive."
The foreign leader nodded, turned around and pointed to a mural in the upper middle and continued in a calm voice: "There is no way in this world that a ship can float on the sea for hundreds of years without decay. Back then, my benefactor built a sea ship, and his craftsmanship was far more sophisticated than the craftsmen at that time.
But even so, those ships cannot last forever, so our ancestors promised to come to Yuelongmen for nine years to repair the ships built by our benefactor. This is the oath of my East China Sea survivors."
Li Luo and Si Youjuan were silent, one thinking and the other shocked. In Si Youjuan's view, this oath was really ridiculous.
"Hey, what kind of ship insists that you wait in a place like this? It doesn't sound like your benefactor is sincere to you." Si Youjuan complained rather dissatisfied and shouted dissatisfied. Yao Lanling did not get angry this time, but just a little a little bit.
He looked at the alien leader sadly. The alien leader replied calmly: "My benefactor has never been a soft-hearted person. When he saved our ancestors, his original intention was not just to save people, but he was worried that he would let our tribe die.
Finish it for him."
"Bah, you have such vicious thoughts. If it were me, I would burn the boat clean to prevent future generations from suffering. Where can't you repair the boat? There is plenty of room for Fu Cong. I think it is a lie that he saves you, but it is true that he tortures you.
" Si Youjuan shouted angrily.
"Not everyone can see my benefactor's ship, and not everyone can repair it."
"What kind of ship is so valuable..." Si Youjuan sneered, then his expression suddenly changed and he shouted in horror, "Could it be a soul-destroying ship?"
"Soul-holding ship?" The alien leader was startled and suddenly said, "Is this the ship you came for? That should be it."
"For a period of nine years, ships return to Longmen, but as far as I know there are quite a few of these ships. Ships that have sailed to other places may not be able to return to Longmen within nine years. Could it be said that there are such ships jumping to Longmen elsewhere in the East China Sea?" Li
Luo asked in a deep voice.
"Maybe, our ancestors only left this oath, but they rarely mentioned anything other than the oath."
"Then why did that person want to build such a ship and put it back on the sea?"
"There is a rumor passed down by our ancestors that our benefactor built these ships specially to hide something. The thing that our benefactor wanted to hide was on the ship."
"Why are you hiding something in such a big formation? Is it possible that you are too full to hold up?" Si Youjuan was very unconcerned. Apparently he felt that the man was making a fuss out of nothing.
"I don't know what it is, but since my benefactor has to spend so much time and money, the plan must not be small."
"There are thirty-six ships?"
"how do you know?"
"It's true. I've heard people talk about it."
The foreign leader looked at Li Luo with a scrutinizing gaze, full of doubts. He didn't know Qingji or Tongcheng, but he seemed to know a lot. It sounded very perfunctory to say that it was just the right time for the meeting.
"This is the origin of the story, but it is not the whole story."
"Appreciate further details."
"My clansmen were not the only ones who came to Yuelongmen with my benefactor."
Li Luo's thoughts were racing and he asked in astonishment: "You mean there is someone else here besides you?"
The alien leader nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "Don't you think there's anything wrong here?"
Si Youjuan shouted in shock: "Except for children, everyone here wears masks and cloaks to prevent outsiders from seeing your appearance."
"That's right." The alien leader said slowly, "It's not that I won't give in, but that I can't."
