Shadow Code - C30
” It’s just that a lot of things in this world happen at two extremes, and there is no room for manoeuvre between them, just like life and death. If you bet on life, you wouldn’t be able to die, if you bet your life, but you can’t, if you really bet on the Nine Palace Lock being passive, and there’s no danger, that would break Emperor Wen Xuan’s heart, but, if you think again, Emperor Wen Xuan spent so much effort to seal the Nine Palace Lock, how could it be just a bluff, he’s not Zhuge Liang! ”
” If I win the bet, it means that Emperor Wen Xuan’s plan and the Nine Palace Lock’s were different. If Emperor Wen Xuan loses, it means that if he dies, then it means that no one will die. The pockmark got more and more excited as he spoke.
” I understand, how about this, let’s just get used to it. Weren’t you guys just throwing things around in the forest, listening to the arrangement of the heavens? Let’s do it the same as always, what do you think? ” The little sister waved her hand and interrupted me.
” “Damn, little sister, it seems like you are following us for more information. You even remember the part where you threw something at us!”
” Aren’t you curious that I caught the amber blood you threw and then threw it at you? ”
” “Huh?”
“You guys aren’t curious, why did the bullets shoot out from the dark tree so many times before they hit the ground? Is it me catching them and teasing them?”
“Holy sh * t!” Is it really you? ”
“Are we going to believe it if we take the amber? Are we going to catch the bullet with our bare hands?” “I don’t believe it!”
“In the world of magic, it’s not like I’ve never received a bullet with my bare hands before!”
” “Then you’re admitting that you did it?”
“Secrets!” The little sister made a face.
” “One second, little sister. Then, on the first day that we woke up from the wooden house, we couldn’t tell if you were the one who set up the trap in the morning and the one in the evening.”
” If I don’t tell you, you’ve guessed it! ”
“Then what should we throw, Emma, don’t say, back then we dropped a key when we threw the amber blood, if it wasn’t for that thing, we wouldn’t have entered the tree, we can’t just throw anything, how about this, coins, words, we’ll find a way to climb up the hole we fell into, flower mask, we’ll bet that we will find that sealed Nine Palace Lock here!” As he spoke, the pockmark actually pulled out a dollar coin from the dried melons.
“Is this real money? How did you get here?”
“I throw the coins on the brick bed into the rice grill’s dry grain bag every time I have nothing to do. What do you mean by burying money with food? Come on, let’s make more money!”
I took out a few dried seeds and gave them to my sister, biting on them myself. “Quickly throw them away, what nonsense, when I get back, I’ll pick up those golden beans and bury them in your rice vat. Then I’ll marry a woman and play along with you, shouting like a man with gold beans in the rice steamer!”
If so, let’s throw it once, even if it’s accurate, you guys better watch it well. I didn’t cheat, so what if you bury gold beans in the rice jar, when we get to the Nine Palace Lock, I’ll stay there every day. The pockmark spat out a mouthful of saliva, touched his face with all his strength, and blew into the coin again. Finally, it curled its two fists and shook them happily.
“Goodbye, big brother. How innocent are we!” I may be a person who thinks things over, and sometimes the pockmarked one deceives himself into thinking only the good end.
“Right now, where should we start?” Sis is a realism, decided things, do not ink, will be the first time into the practical action.
“Indeed. We’ve been walking around the great red corpses and ashes ever since we came in. At most, we’ve met a few molted snakes, and then there’s this wardrobe. In order to find the nine palace locks, we have to at least know the location of this thing. How do we find it?”
“Do we have to shoot another time and listen to that dancer tell us?”
“No, I feel like the dancers might not know, but even if they did, they wouldn’t tell us. She kept persuading us to leave, so how could she tell us? Besides, since we all suspect that the dancers’ last sentence is a trap, how could we listen to her advice?”
” That makes sense. If you want to beg someone, you might as well beg yourself! ”
” We don’t even know what a Nine Palace Lock looks like. Pockmark, if you keep wasting time here for something that you don’t know for sure whether or not you have access to, then my corpse will be rotten, how will you deal with it? We have serious business here, not just traveling around! ”
” Nine palaces lock, nine palaces lock. Let me think, what does it mean to be called such a name? Nine palaces? ” He drew with his finger in the ashes on the ground.
” Have you heard of the defective energy of the pyramid? ” The little sister looked at the painting and said.
“What?”
“What does this have to do with the Nine Palace Lock we’re looking for?”
“It doesn’t matter. I was just thinking about the number nine when I saw the nine palaces drawn by Brother pockmarked painting. I just casually said it!” The little sister let out a light sigh and started drawing on the ground, whether intentionally or unintentionally. With the gray ashes as the background, it was as if she was drawing an artistic picture.
“Little sister, what is the Pyramid of Flaws?” the pockmark asked.
“Well, to start with a simple story, an old man sees a poor child, of course the child has nothing and is very lazy, the old man happily gave the child a jar of gold coins, the child went home to count and found out that it was just 99 gold coins, from then on he worked hard and vowed to save it up to 100 gold coins and then stored it as a fortune. This is a near miss of power, why is everything in the world imperfect? This kind of energy is defined as the missing pyramid energy! ”
“So abstract, I don’t understand!”
“That sounds reasonable, but it’s too profound!”
The missing pyramids later became a general term for energy, a general term for never reaching the peak of a thing. Also, I am thinking, what is the principle behind the Nine Palace Lock? Could it be that there is a huge power that can bring people into another world, and because no one has been there before, people think that it is a trick created by a Warlock. Sometimes, things that are called scam can be proven to be science after a long period of time. She continued to explain.
” So, I can understand, very early on, we didn’t know that the earth was round, people would look at the horizon in a mysterious way, but if we randomly picked out any of the things we were used to, aren’t those really magical things like light, light speed, light itself, probing, that’s the optical world, and how life, how on earth did humans get it, and why a woman’s breast could produce milk to nurture this life after a life came out of a woman’s womb, and genes, aren’t these things very mysterious? If the ancient people always used the words of gods and ghosts to bewitch themselves, the modern us could really face it calmly. If the Nine Palace Lock really existed, how could we explain it with science? Could it really be something similar to a time tunnel, that allows one to bring people into another world? ” For a moment, I fell into a state of selflessness, trying to understand as much as I could about the depths I had never had a chance to touch.
