Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zou Liang's life experience is indeed legendary. After hearing Zhao Pu's story, Zhan Zhao and others felt a little emotional, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with Lin Yehuo.In terms of age, Lin Yehuo was about the same as Zou Liang, so it was impossible for him to have anything to do with what happened to Zou Liang's father.

In addition, after Zou Liang entered the military camp at the age of four or five, he grew up with Zhao Pu and the others. There was no secret between them, and their growth experiences were similar. Ouyang and others knew that Zou Liang had no enemies.Zhao Pu led troops to fight at the age of 16, and Zou Liang has always followed him on the battlefield. At most, some opponents on the battlefield, with Zou Liang's character, also have resentment and revenge.

Therefore, Zou Liang's enemies can only be formed before he was four or five years old.

What kind of enemies can a four or five-year-old child have?In the eyes of Zhao Pu and others, although Zou Liang is ruthless, he is actually a rather simple person, which is very similar to Ziying. Most people who can form this kind of personality have simple experiences and no heart.

Even Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could tell that Zou Liang didn't seem like a person who lived with hatred, and Lin Yehuo was even more heartless... So, the intersection between the two could be because of Parents?

Old General Ouyang didn't mention the mysterious disappearance of General Zou Yue and the 15 troops after that, but the fact that the old general didn't mention it didn't mean that Zou Liang didn't care.

Anyone who changed would go to investigate if they knew that their father had disappeared for no apparent reason... But everyone had never heard Zou Liang mention it. Could this also show to some extent that Zou Liang actually knew about his father and that father's disappearance? How did the 15 troops disappear?Or is there something else hidden in it?

But considering that Zou Liang was still a child when he experienced all this, maybe even a baby...how much can he remember?

Everything is confusing.

On the way back from the Demon Palace, Zhan Zhao and others questioned Zhao Pu carefully.

Zhao Pu also said some details.

When Zou Liang lived with Zhao Pu and Ouyang when he was young, he often had nightmares.

At first he was like a wolf, awake at night, looking around with his eyes open, and sleeping on his stomach during the day.So Zhao Pu and Ouyang tried to adjust his sleep time. The method was very simple. They played with him vigorously during the day, woke him up when he was sleepy, and let him sleep at night.

Zou Liang didn't sleep during the day, and couldn't sleep at night. After staying up for a few days, he became so sleepy that he fell asleep obediently as soon as it got dark.

At that time, several children were sleeping in bunk beds, five people on one big bed, each with a quilt.

One night, Zhao Pu felt someone kicking the quilt next to him, and there was a "bang bang" sound.He thought Ouyang Shaozheng kicked the quilt again, opened his eyes and saw Ouyang's feet in front of him, and looked back, Ouyang Shaozheng was sleeping on He Yihang's belly, and the voice seemed to come from behind of.

So Zhao Pu turned over, and saw that Long Qiaoguang was also awake, looking at Zou Liang who was sleeping against the wall with his chin on the other side.

Zhao Pu also leaned over, and saw Zou Liang kicking the quilt with his eyes closed, as if he was running away, muttering something, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Pu and Long Qiaoguang looked at each other, and leaned closer to listen carefully. They heard Zou Liang say "Wooooohoo." He kept chanting, it should be the same word over and over again.

Long Qiaoguang was curious, "Is it some kind of wolf language? You also know that little wolf cubs like to bark like that. Speaking of little wolf cubs, I saw a big black dog in the barracks the day before yesterday that seemed to be abducted by wolves. , Do you think the baby will be more like a father or a mother? I heard the cook say in the barracks kitchen that a boy is like a mother and a girl is like a father. By the way, the cook will be a father, don’t you know? His daughter-in-law is getting fat... um."

Zhao Pu pushed the annoying Long Qiaoguang under the quilt all at once, and listened carefully to Zou Liang's words with his ears sideways.

What Zou Liang said repeatedly was a weird syllable. Zhao Pu had studied some of the "wolf language" that Zou Liang often said before. He had heard this syllable before. Every night when lighting the lamps, Zou Liang would point to the lanterns outside the tent. Say the word.

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin to ponder—did he dream about the light?

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone pat him. Zhao Pu turned his head and saw He Yihang, whose belly was held by Ouyang and unable to move. Said, "Xiao Guang is about to suffocate to death."

Zhao Pu was startled, and quickly let go.

Long Qiaoguang could be considered breathless, panting and complaining, "Zhao Pu, you dare to plot against me, wait, wait for me to catch my breath, should this quilt be washed? Why does it smell strange? Did Ouyang wet the bed?" Then I changed the quilt with me..."

Long Qiaoguang continued to babble.

Zhao Pu blinked, and He Yihang sighed, "I'll just suffocate him to death."

Zhao Pu asked Long Qiaoguang to cover his mouth to stop making noise, and asked He Yihang, "Is Zou Liang dreaming?"

He Yihang nodded, "He does this often, and he always says this word."

"What does this word mean?" Zhao Pu was curious, "Light or fire?"

He Yihang frowned and shook his head, "He saw the sun and the moon also sent this word..."

Long Qiaoguang, who was covering his mouth, raised his hand to speak.

Zhao Pu looked at him helplessly, "Speak."

"Does it mean light?" Long Qiaoguang finally said something that caught the point, "He also said that when he was chasing fireflies that day."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Light..." Zhao Pu tilted his head to look at Zou Liang's expression, "Did you see light in a dream? This kind of nightmare expression, and dancing on the quilt, what's so scary about light?"

"Wow!"

Everyone was focusing on Zou Liang's expression. Suddenly, Zou Liang yelled and sat up. Zhao Pu and the others were startled by him, especially Ouyang Shaozheng, who was sleeping soundly, jumped up with a "bang" Woke up, still sleepy, shouted, "Who called? Someone stole the camp?"

Just watching, I saw Zou Liang sitting and wiping his forehead, He Yihang reached out and touched his forehead, frowning—a lot of cold sweat broke out.

Zhao Pu asked him what the nightmare was. Zou Liang couldn't say much at the time, and gestured as if he wanted to express something. The other four children tilted their heads and guessed all night, but they didn't understand it. Say what "light"!

Zou Liang continued to have this nightmare state until he was six years old. Zhao Pu and others asked him what he was dreaming about. Zou Liang's answer was quite interesting. He said, "The light that eats people!"

Zhao Pu and the other children couldn't understand what he was talking about. In addition, at the beginning, Zou Liang was very afraid of the loud arrows used for communication.

Everyone still remembers what happened when they first used the contact arrow.

That night, the old general Ouyang taught everyone how to set off the ringing arrows. In order to make a few children who lacked interest happy, the old man tricked them into setting off fireworks.

But in the dark night, when the contact arrow had just been released into the sky and exploded, and the surrounding area was lit up, Zou Liang suddenly threw down the four people behind him, and shouted, "Here comes the light! Hide!"

Old General Ouyang hurriedly pulled him up, and Zhao Pu and others also got up, looking at him puzzled, "What's wrong with the light?"

Zou Liang looked left and right and at the light above his head, seeming confused.

In this way, it took another year for Zou Liang to gradually overcome his discomfort with light, especially strong light at night.Perhaps as children grow older, some past events will gradually be forgotten. Zou Liang gradually stops dreaming and is not afraid of light. After the age of eight, he grows up and lives like a normal child.

Zhao Pu and others also discussed in private whether it was something that Zou Liang saw when he was a child that left this shadow.

He Yihang wondered if Zou Liang had seen thunder and lightning when he lived with the wolves.The lightning on the vast grassland is very degrading. Maybe it was because I was scared at that time, so I was afraid of the sudden strong light.

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat in a daze, recalling all the things they had chatted with Zhao Pu before.

Zhao Zhen and the Eighth Prince chatted with Bao Zheng while drinking tea. At this moment, voices came from outside.

I saw Zhao Pu came with Ouyang Chunhua.

Chunhua came in and said hello to the Emperor and the Eighth Prince, and then sat down to drink tea and snacks.

Zhao Pu sat down, looked at Zhao Zhen, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhao Zhen put down his teacup and said to the Eighth Prince, "Uncle Huang, why don't we start the banquet earlier?"

The Eighth Prince understands, it seems that everyone in Kaifeng Mansion has something to discuss, so it is better to have dinner early and let them go back.

Everyone quickly finished the banquet, Zhao Zhen continued to stay and chat with the Eighth Prince, and let go of everyone in Fengfu to go back.

Grand Master Pang was still holding Xiangxiang in the palace, but Pang Yu couldn't help being curious, and ran to Kaifeng Mansion with Bao Yan.

Everyone gathered in Mr. Bao's study, closed the door and sat down, and asked Zhao Pu what he had asked about in General Ouyang's mansion.

Zhao Pu looked rather tangled, took out a scroll from his arms, and put it on the table.

"I asked my godfather. He really knew something. He planned to die and told Zou Liang not to talk about it, so that boy never mentioned it." Zhao Pu said while holding the scroll. Open.

From the outside, the scroll looked like a piece of tattered sheepskin. When it was opened and spread on the table, it was a map, and it was a very old map. Some symbols on the map attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh?" Gongsun pointed at the strange words and said, "Isn't this the same as the warning words on the stone tablet in the Magic Mountain Canyon?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

"There is also this logo." Zhan Zhao pointed to the logo with three triangles paired together.

Everyone frowned. This is the "extremely dangerous" sign that appeared at the place where the soul repelling bottle was found.

Master Bao stroked his chin, stared at the picture, and asked, "This is..."

Zhao Pu pointed at the central area of ​​the map and extended it to the four corners, and said, "The north is the extreme north, down here is Wolf King Fortress, south is Black Wind City, west is Xixia, and up is Liao Kingdom... Over there is the location of the Fire Phoenix Hall, the northwest corner is the skeleton sea behind the Wolf King Castle, the southeast is the ghost domain, the north and the south are deserted, the west and east are the Gobi, and the middle area has a clear map , that area should be..."

Everyone gasped.

Yin Hou couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Ghost Sea."

Tianzun felt incredible, "Is this a map inside the ghost sea?"

"The route, the location of the quicksand pit, and the sand whirlpool are indeed marked here." Gongsun studied the map carefully, "but the map is not very detailed."

"How could there be a map of the Ghost Sea?" Bai Yutang felt unbelievable, "Isn't that place where no one can enter, and once it's in, it's also impossible to get out?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu with full of doubts.

Lord Bao asked, "What does this have to do with Zou Liang?"

Zhao Pu gave a soft "tsk" and said, "After my godfather became familiar with Zou Liang, I asked him if he knew what happened to his parents back then. But Zou Liang was too young to remember anything. But one day, Zou Liang suddenly took his godfather out... We didn't follow, and we didn't know where they went. I asked my godfather just now, and he told me that Zou Liang took him to a forest that day .”

Zhan Zhao and the others listened carefully.

"Godfather said that there were many wolves in the forest that Zou Liang took him to. He went deep into the dense forest and found that it was a wolf den. Fortunately, he was with Zou Liang. The wolves just tilted their heads to look at him and did not attack. Zou Liang took him to the entrance of a cave. Inside the cave was a very beautiful and huge white wolf. After the wolf came out and rubbed nose to nose with Zou Liang, it entered the cave. Not long after, the wolf was holding a sheepskin The bag came out and handed it to Zou Liang. After Zou Liang took the bag, he gave it to his godfather."

"What bag?" Everyone asked in unison.

"There are two things in the bag, one is this scroll, and the other..." Zhao Pu took out one thing and put it on the table.

Everyone looked down—they saw a bronze crouching tiger token.

"This is..." Zhan Zhao picked it up and looked at it.

"Zou Yue was the commander-in-chief of the Xilu Army back then, and this is the Tiger Talisman." Zhao Pu said, taking out a somewhat old sheepskin bag and putting it on the table, "It's in this bag."

Everyone saw the word "Yue" on the top of the bag.

"This is Zou Yue's skin bag." Zhao Pu said, "Godfather said that this bag was made by Zou Liang's mother himself. His father likes it very much. He keeps it with him all the time, and puts all important things in it."

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Zou Yue has a map to enter the sea of ​​ghosts?"

"It stands to reason that he was just marching normally back then. He moved five hundred miles to the west, so he couldn't fight the ghost sea at all. If he really went to the ghost sea, he mobilized his troops without authorization." Zhao Pu said, "Of course there is another possibility. He encountered a black storm on the way, lost his way and strayed into the Skeleton Sea or the Gobi area, and broke into the Ghost Sea without knowing it."

Everyone nodded, feeling that the possibility of getting lost was not too high.

"Godfather said that there is also a litter of little white wolves in the wolf den. Where it lay on its stomach, there was a little ragged quilt. He remembered that quilt was Zou Liang's swaddle when he was a baby." Zhao Pu sighed, "Now that I think about it, that morning, when Zou Liang was reading a book, he saw a word '玲', and he didn't recognize it, so he ran over to ask me. After I told him, that boy Ouyang talked too much, what did you say? Father's name also has this word, so I saw Zou Liang pondering it for a while."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Zou Liang was too young back then, maybe he didn't remember what he had experienced, he only remembered that it was dangerous. Then he also remembered the words on the skin bag, but he didn't know what it meant. Old General Ouyang asked again He mentioned the matter of his father, so after he knew the word '玲', he might feel that the skin was related to his father, so he took the old man to the wolf's den to get that thing."

"That skin bag must have been stuffed in his swaddling clothes." Gongsun said, "There are indeed many examples of wolves picking up children and raising them as their own."

"Isn't Zou Liang curious about his parents?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Pu crossed his arms, "Godfather said that he asked about it, and he would always look it up when he grows up, but Godfather told him that his parents were dead long ago, so he didn't have to look for it, probably because he was afraid that he would go to hell. The sea never returns."

Everyone else nodded, and the old general Ouyang was well-intentioned.

"If you get lost... Zou Yue won't have a map, right?"

When everyone was silent, Yin Hou spoke.

Zhao Pu sighed, "I also think that Zou Yue sent troops to Ghost Sea on his own. This may be the reason why his godfather never mentioned it."

"Because if people know about it, then Zou Yue is a felony." Zhan Zhao asked, "His purpose of entering the ghost sea without permission is a mystery, and at the same time, he killed his generals."

"Everyone is dead. There is no proof of death. Zou Liang has made great achievements in the military since he was very young, and his godfather is probably afraid of affecting him." Zhao Pu sighed, "What's in the sea of ​​ghosts? I want Zou Yue to take the whole family on an adventure. Besides, is that place really interesting? No one can go in?"

"Actually, not necessarily."

Just when everyone was worried, Tianzun suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at him.

Yin Hou on the side also touched his chin, "No wonder it has something to do with Lin Yehuo... These two kids must have discovered something by accident."

"The two of them were in the woods when the soul-suppressing bottle came out that day." Tianzun reminded, "Maybe it was discovered at that time that something was wrong."

Yin Hou nodded.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other, then turned their heads to stare at the two of them, what did they mean—explain it!Don't play charades.

"Yeah." Yin Hou thought for a while and said, "I heard the great monk mention the origin of Lin Yehuo before."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "Didn't Lin Yehuo have a clean background?"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "Although my parents have passed away, the origins are indeed clear..."

"Those are the adoptive parents that Great Monk Wusha found for him." Yin Hou said, "Have you ever seen a person from the Central Plains or a foreigner who looks like him?"

Everyone tilted their heads and thought about it. Indeed, Lin Yehuo didn't look like a Central Plains person or a foreigner. It can be said that he has a unique appearance. First of all, he has red hair, fair skin, and a tall and thin figure. Only the invisible fire phoenix.

Yin Hou thought for a while, stood up, and said, "I'll show you something."

"Where are you going?" Everyone looked up at them.

Tianzun said, "Nan'an Temple."

Everyone was stunned.

"Why are you going to the temple?" Pang Yu asked Bao Yan puzzled as he got up and followed Tianzun and Yinhou out.

Bao Yan spread his hands, he didn't know, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew something in his heart - in the pagoda in Nan'an Temple, there was a group of white jade sculptures of the Silver Demon King and seven foxes, Yin Hou and Tianzun, did they want to take them with them? where to?
