Chapter 693 In-Depth Investigation
Sticking the pinching talisman vigorously, licking and searching for the ancestor pill, and the Nascent Soul coming out of the body, all of these Ning Tao is familiar with.
boom!
After being blind for a minute, there was light in Ning Tao's eyes. What he saw was a blue sky and white clouds, a red sunset and the endless sea. He was standing in the sea, and the waves rushed past his feet without taking anything away.
"The energy structure here was really destroyed by the magic circle of the treasure chest, and there is no soul energy left in the skull. It seems that my trip was for nothing..." Before he finished talking to himself, A sailboat appeared on the sea, entered his sight, and sailed towards this side with the wind.
The white flag and the black crescent moon are exactly the boat of the Yinyue people sailing eastward.
Ning Tao looked up at the sun in the sky, and then at the sailboat. It should be traveling from the direction of Okinawa to the mainland, not from the mainland to Okinawa.
He remembered the past time and space he entered last time. In that past time and space, the ship of the Yinyue people was sinking. Yinyueren, who is suspected to be the captain, boosted the morale of the crew, saying that they will definitely be able to go home. However, not long after that sentence, the sailboat sank.
This means that the Yinyue people on that ship wanted to take the treasure chest back to the mainland, and naturally they would go to the Yinyue City under the dragon frame.
"The Zhenshi Pagoda has nothing to do with Tang Zixian's previous life. The Yinyue man on the boat brought the Zhenshi Pagoda back to Shenlongjia. Could it be that he wanted to use the Zhenshi Pagoda in the box to catch alchemy spirits? Hu Ji can get the recipe for the Ancestor Pill, If you can hear the legend of the alchemy, then someone must have the alchemy formula, and someone must know the legend, which means that there were people who were interested in finding the ancestral alchemy before Hu Ji, and wanted to catch the alchemy?" Ning Tao recalled, thinking It's a pity that it still feels like being shrouded in a fog, unable to see the truth.
The sailboat was getting closer and closer, and Ning Tao came to the sailboat with a thought. He saw the captain, and other crew members, including Yinyue people, and crew members who didn't know whether they were Qin or Han. Because it is not sure which period it is, but the name Han people started from the Han Dynasty.
The Yinyue people on the boat don't work, and those who work are those Qin people or Han people.
A little boy came out of the cabin, holding a ceramic pot in his hand. The manufacturing process of the pot is very exquisite, obviously it was not something that the Qin people or Han people could make at that time, it is obviously the porcelain of the Yinyue people.
The little boy was also a Qin or Han slave, with ragged clothes and unhealed welts on his body. The ankle of one foot was swollen and festered, and he walked with a limp.
A little boy apparently came to deliver water.
Ning Tao's heart moved, Yuan Ying stabbed the little boy's head. The child's body froze for a moment, and his eyes were dull. But he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and he continued to move forward. At this time, he is no longer "he".
Ning Tao didn't know who he was going to deliver water to, but he believed that if he kept walking, that person would call him.
Sure enough, a Yinyue crew member scolded: "Little bastard, are you blind? Here!"
Although it is Yinyue language, but it is in the past time and space constructed by the town tower, tree building boards and cloud ore, and he also has a whisperer, so he can understand without having to argue and understand, that feeling It's as natural as breathing.
Ning Tao walked over and poured some water into the Yinyue man's cup with a kettle.
The Yinyue man suddenly stepped on the little boy's painful foot, and then said viciously: "Next time you are so slow, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish, get out!"
Although the little boy's feet were not his feet, but Ning Tao's Nascent Soul controlled the little boy's body, so the little boy's feet were his feet. This foot really hurt, even he was so painful that tears rolled down his face. But he could only endure it, not daring to yell out, let alone fight back.
It is true that he is a cultivator who is almost touching the wall of the small Nirvana realm, but that is his true deity, not his Nascent Soul. Whoever his Nascent Soul is on, he has become whoever he is. If he is on the body of a child, then he is a child. As a slave, and a thin child at that, how dare he confront the Yinyue people who could kill him with a single slap?
What's more, from the perspective of "the past", no matter who these people are, they are all dead. What he wants is the truth. What's the point of fighting a dead man?
Ning Tao entered the cabin door with the kettle in hand, and walked down the wooden stairs.
He walked cautiously, with his eyes observing where he could see.
Under the stairs is a very wide cabin, with several tables and benches, and a few wooden barrels stacked in one corner, a bit like medieval oak barrels. At that time, Europeans who liked to use oak barrels to store wine did not know where they were still playing with mud.
Just from this small detail, it can be judged how advanced and powerful the Yinyue people's civilization was at that time.
However, there is actually no comparison between the two, because human civilization, including the West, is only a natural civilization developed by slash-and-burn farming, while the civilization of Yin and Yang people is a civilization of self-cultivation.
How do natural civilizations compare to cultivation civilizations?
This time is probably not the time to eat, the restaurant is empty, not even a single person.
Ning Tao walked through the restaurant, and then walked to the aisle at the end of the restaurant.
There are several rooms on both sides of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor is another staircase going down.
When passing by a room, a woman's pleading voice came from the room: "No, please don't..."
clap clap...
If Ning Tao was just a kid, he would probably think of slapping his hand when he heard such a voice, and if it was more serious, he would think of slapping his face, and he would not think of going anywhere else. But he is a comprehension young man from the 21st world, he almost didn't have to think about it when he heard such a voice, he knew what ugly things were going on in the room.
Ning Tao had no intention of peeking, he continued to walk forward.
A man's voice came from behind, very irritable and fierce: "Be honest with me, or I will kill you!"
clap clap...
If the deity was here, Ning Tao would have kicked the door open and shot the beast through it, but he was just a child, and he was helpless in the face of such evil deeds.
To live is to practice. How much suffering will a person have to experience in his life before it ends?
Down the second staircase is a larger warehouse. A human youth was nailed to a pillar alive. Blood flowed down his chest, staining his legs and a large area. Wooden floor.
A dozen or so human slaves curled up in one corner, all young women, naked and dirty. Their faces were pale and their lips were chapped, a clear sign of lack of nutrition and dehydration.
Ning Tao was furious when he saw it. He didn't have any bad feelings towards Yinyue, but this time he not only saw the ugly face of Yinyue people, but even experienced the atrocities of Yinyue people. His disgust towards Yinyue people was like a volcano. The same erupted.
But it was just a feeling, even if he wanted to capsize the ship, he couldn't do anything. Moreover, the fate of this ship is doomed, it will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea.
Ning Tao suppressed the anger in his heart, and limped towards a locked door.
"Xiang Fei...can you give me some water?" A girl's voice came from behind.
Xiang Fei?
It was clearly a man's name, and he was the only boy here. He turned around and saw the girl who was talking to him, she was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at him pitifully.
Ning Tao couldn't bear it, he turned back and handed the water bottle in his hand to the girl: "Sister, drink some water."
The girl took a sip, then passed the jug to another girl. The jug was passed around in this way among a group of slave girls, and the little water could actually be drunk by one person, but no one did that.
"Xiang Fei, you are so good." The first girl who drank water said a word of praise to Ning Tao.
"Are we... from Chu?" Ning Tao asked. The surname Xiang reminded him of a famous and unrivaled hero in history, that is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
The girl nodded her head, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Silly boy, Chu is already dead...how could you ask such a strange question?"
Chu has been destroyed, so the slaves on this ship should be Han Chinese.
"Sisters, don't be afraid, all this will be over soon." After Ning Tao said this, he turned and walked towards the locked door. He sympathized with them very much, but he also knew that under the established ending, no matter what he did, they could not change their fate.
"Xiang Fei, don't go there, it's dangerous!" The girl reminded her, her voice was full of worry and tension.
Ning Tao didn't stop, he came to the door, put one eye on a crack in the door and looked inside. This is this one glance, and he was stunned on the spot.
The chest was in the room behind the door, and it had runes carved on each side. But there is also a white-haired old man in that room, as seen by the eyes of the sky, this old man is immortal, with a spiritual energy in his innate celestial field, and his spiritual power is extraordinary. But it was such an old man, one of his hands had no palms, and one pair of feet had no soles, but even so, someone put an iron chain around his neck.
who is he?
Ning Tao was full of surprise and confusion. When he was on this ship for the first time, he was only a rookie in the Nascent Soul stage, and he only stayed on the deck for a little time, and never went to the cabin to take a look. . He could guess that the box was in the cabin below, but he couldn't guess that such an old man was locked in this boat.
The old man with no hands or feet suddenly raised his head, and at that moment, two rays of light gathered in the gap on the door.
Was discovered by him.
"Hey hey..." A series of weird laughter came out of the old man's mouth, the low and sinister voice gave people a creepy feeling.
Ning Tao was not afraid at all: "Mr., who are you?"
"Huo yo, here we come, hahaha..." The old man said something inexplicable, and then laughed again.
