Chapter 359 [Boarding] (1)
Luo Lie shook his head. He could not agree with Feng Jiuqing's words. His mother would never plan such a big game of chess.
Feng Jiuqing said: "If Luo Gongquan knew that you were not the blood of the Luo family, would he teach you Xia Wen? I'm afraid that he would have killed you long ago and would not let you live to this day, let alone send you to overseas."
Luo Lie looked at Feng Jiuqing and said, "Who are you?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "Help me find Jiuding, I will tell you everything."
Luo Lie said: "Do you know what the Nine Cauldrons are useful? Why do you insist on finding Nine Cauldrons?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "What are you worried about? Are you worried about the words of the Central Plains of Determination? Worrying that I will be detrimental to China after I get the Nine Dings?"
Luo Lie said: "I really don't know what the special significance of these nine bronze tripods are. Do you really believe that if you get the nine tripods, you can win the world?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "I have no interest in power. I like peace. The reason I search for Jiuding is just for one person."
Luo Lie was stunned: "One person?"
Feng Jiuqing nodded, and at this moment her expression was focused and serious: "Only by finding Jiuding can I find him!"
Luo Lie looked at Feng Jiuqing, sure that what he heard was true. Feng Jiuqing now looked like a girl in love, loving her unforgettable. She went up to the blue sky and fell in the underworld. She worked so hard to find Jiuding just to find someone. That person should be her lover. No matter how powerful a person is, there is always a weak place in her heart.
Luo Lie could understand her feelings, and he couldn't help but think of Yan Tianxin. If the Nine Cauldrons could be exchanged for Yan Tianxin's resurrection, then he would do it without hesitation, but reason told him that this was impossible: "Can you be sure that the Nine Cauldrons are in the West Sea?"
Feng Jiuqing told Luo Lie: "I can be sure that there is a bronze dragon palace at the bottom of the West Sea, and the nine tripods are hidden in the Dragon Palace."
Luo Lie said: "Even if there is really a dragon palace under the sea in the West Sea, how can we find the exact location to enter it?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "Every nine years, the gate of the Dragon Palace will be opened. Now there is only half a month left for the Dragon Palace to be opened. If you want to enter the Dragon Palace, you must first look for the water-dividing shuttle."
Luo Lie said in surprise: "Shui Diversion Shuttle?"
Feng Jiuqing nodded and said, "According to the information I have, the water-dividing shuttle is buried under this ancient city, and it will reveal its true appearance in one week at most."
Luo Lie said: "What do I need to do?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "You found a crystal in Feiying Castle, right?"
Luo Lie nodded. He carried the crystal stone with him. Song Changjin had coveted it and wanted to exchange it secretly, but he never succeeded.
Feng Jiuqing said: "I know you are full of doubts about everything in your heart. The only thing I can guarantee is that you will not regret it."
"What guarantee do you have?"
Feng Jiuqing said: "I will tell you when I find the Nine Tripods."
Luo Lie said: "Wasn't it too late at that time?"
Feng Jiuqing shook his head: "It's not too late, you are the only one in the world who can activate the Nine Cauldrons."
Long before Luo Lie and his team arrived, the excavation of the water-dividing shuttle had already begun. The excavated hole was in the southeast corner of the ancient city. Luo Lie and his party had not noticed it before. The hole only allowed one person to pass through, but it became wider when it slid along the rope to the bottom twelve meters away from the surface.
The people responsible for the excavation were Fang Kewen and Ando Underground. There must be a reason why they can be willing to do such a job.
Fang Kewen already knew that Luo Lie and Feng Jiuqing had reached a cooperation agreement and pointed to the direction ahead Luo Lie Road: "It will be opened in three days and enter our target location."
Luo Lie said: "Why did Brother Fang accept her order?"
Fang Kewen said: "If you have the opportunity to become a normal person, do you want to choose?"
Luo Lie said: "She really has such ability?"
Fang Kewen nodded.
"She is Haruko Fujino, she is the only one who has mastered the Black Sun Forbidden Code." Ando's voice sounded from the side.
Luo Lie looked at Ando underground in shock. When he and Ando separated, Ando underground could not speak in his throat, but now he was talking freely.
Ando Ino said: "She cured me. If it weren't for her, I would have died."
Luo Lie realized that the reason why Feng Jiuqing was able to gather these people to do things for her was because she had a very thorough understanding of their hearts because she knew their hope. Whether it was Fang Kewen or Ando Ink, they were eager to return to the normal life of the past, and they were eager to reunite with their families.
Luo Lie did not believe Feng Jiuqing's words. He began to feel panic, worried that his friends around him would be involved. This was definitely not a simple archaeology.
Luo Lie knew that it would be difficult for him to persuade Maqu to change her idea, so he could only turn to Feng Jiuqing for help. He agreed to cooperate with Feng Jiuqing, but the prerequisite was that Maqu quit.
Everything was carried out in Feng Jiuqing's plan. After Ma Yuliang's army was defeated again, he actually accepted the reality and did not send troops to encircle and suppress it again. This allowed the excavation of the ancient city to proceed smoothly without any interference.
On the day when the water-dividing shuttle was dug out, the ship hired by Feng Jiuqing also arrived.
The water-dividing shuttle is more like a coffin, but it is in the shape of an olive core, and is covered with strange patterns.
Feng Jiuqing gathered everyone to transport the water shuttle onto the big ship. Everything was ready, but the east wind was not there. Just wait for Feng Jiuqing to issue an order when he would set off.
The bonfire was beating, and Luo Lie and his old friends sat around the bonfire, and the expressions of the few people were not relaxed.
Zhang Changgong poured a large mouthful of wine into the skin and said, "Did you decide?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I decided, you all stay on the shore and wait for me, I will go with her."
Arnold said: "That woman is very weird, and it's easy to take care of one more person."
Luo Lie said: "Did you pay attention to the diversion shuttle dug out?
The three of them nodded, and Lu Weilin said, "What kind of water shuttle, I think it's just a coffin."
Luo Lie said: "Whether the water-dividing shuttle or the coffin, the thing can only accommodate two people at most. Even if you follow, you may not be able to help."
Arnold touched the back of his golden head and said, "You really want to sit and dive in that thing? Luo Lie, you can see it carefully. That thing is not a submarine. If you really go in, wouldn't you be suffocated to death in it?"
Luo Lie said: "We brothers are born and die together. Logically, I have no reason to leave you behind this time, but after thinking about it, I really have to go alone for this matter." He took the skin handed over by Zhang Changgong and drank the corners of his lips and said: "No matter what Feng Jiuqing said, we should not forget the fact that she is a devourer. When she encounters trouble or loses her strength, she will first attack people around her if she wants to save herself or replenish her energy."
Zhang Changgong nodded, and he was still scared of what happened last time at Feiying Castle.
Luo Lie said: "I am the only one who has not made her succeed, so you go with me and you may not be able to help me."
Arnold said: "You mean, not only can we not help you, but we may also help you too much?"
Luo Lie nodded. Although he knew that saying this would make some friends sad, as long as they could keep them, they would not care about so much.
Lu Weilin said: "That is to let us stand by and watch."
Luo Lie said: "I always feel that things are not that simple. Whether we can find the Nine Cauldrons is still unknown."
Zhang Changgong looked into the distance: "Will Mr. Wu go?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "He will not listen to anyone's advice." In fact, after arriving in Xihai, Wu Jie rarely talked to others, and most of the time he was standing alone.
Zhang Changgong said: "I can't stop boarding the ship, but you have to make sure you return safely."
Luo Lie nodded heavily and said, "I promise!" He stretched out his hand, Zhang Changgong, Arnold, and Lu Weilin stretched out their hands one by one. They held each other tightly, and they felt each other's sincere feelings, which warmed their hearts.
The sparrow sat alone in the camp. She looked through the diary left by her father. As the handwriting became hazy, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she met Luo Lie. The sparrow's lips showed a knowing smile.
A familiar cough came from outside, interrupting the sparrow's memories. She heard that the person was Luo Lie and whispered: "Who?"
Luo Lie said: "It's me, have you slept?"
"No! Come in."
Luo Lie opened the tent and walked in. When he saw the diary in the hand of the sparrow, he smiled and said, "It's so late, are you still studying hard?"
The sparrow put the diary aside and smiled embarrassedly: "I am stupid. If I don't put in more effort, wouldn't I betray you the more I am leaving it further and further?"
Luo Liedao: "I'm sarcastic about my profession and have a series of knowledge. I will never catch up with you in archaeology in my life."
Sparrow said: "Do you want to persuade me to leave?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "No, just chatting casually."
"What are you talking about?"
Luo Liedao: "Do you remember when you were in Peking, you talked to me about the research on Jiuding?"
Sparrow said: "Of course I remember that it was the research my dad devoted his life to. He also said that if the Nine Cauldrons could prove that they really existed, they could greatly advance the history of our Chinese civilization and prove that our Chinese is the oldest country in the world."
Luo Lie said: "So what? No matter how glorious history is, it will eventually decline. The four ancient countries have lagged behind emerging capitalist countries in the current world. If they fall behind, they will be beaten. Perhaps we should face reality while exploring history and think about how to revitalize China in the shortest time."
Sparrow said: "I don't have that great ambition or ability. I can only do something for China within my ability." My eyes fell on the diary: "Now I just want to fulfill my father's last wish."
Luo Liedao: "What if the Nine Tripods are not the legendary artifact of the Central Plains of Dingding, what if it represents a disaster?"
