East of Eden

Chapter 43 BUFF

"The real king is in the dark, and the eight wastes flow around, and the passing away is like flowing water, and the hardships of you are gone. From the moon to the fish, the ten thousand sinks give shape, and the ten thousand sinks will be destroyed, and the real king will last forever."

In the clear night, Helios sat in the pyramid temple 3000 years ago and finished flipping through the last book about the legend of Liang Shiheng.

All the words and sentences were engraved into his memory, and he searched in the vast ocean of memory, but he still couldn't know the password of this astrolabe.

Helios raised his head and faced the headless statue of Liang Shiheng in the temple. At this moment, a fly flew by. Helios raised his hand without hesitation and shot it dead with his light gun.

The fly fell, and he smiled faintly, facing Liang Shiheng and said:

"God has mercy, but I don't."

After finishing speaking, he got up and patted his clothes, and threw aside the stack of historical books including "History of the Yepulong Clan", "Society and Mathematics of the Yepulong Clan", "Liang Shiheng's Journey to the South" and other historical books, intending to change his mind and have a look. A thorough brainstorm.

He paced back and forth in the temple, summoning claws to cooperate with himself:

"Hey, if the astrolabe here is compared to the computer password set by Liang Shiheng, what combination do you think he will use?"

Claw flapping its wings: "Of course it's my birthday!"

"I don't think Liang Shiheng would be so narcissistic."

"That's his family's birthday."

"He has no family."

"Hmm, maybe it's Cang Xing's birthday?"

"Is it Cang Xing's birthday?" Helios hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again, "He won't be so in love, and besides, Liang Shiheng hadn't met Cang Xing when he came to the south."

"Then I don't know." Claw scratched his head.

"But you reminded me."

Helios squatted down in front of the ancient astrolabe, stroking the star trails and rotating beads with his fingers.

"The password of this astrolabe is a certain date. Although it is not a birthday, it must be a very important date for Liang Shiheng."

"A specific date?" The paw perched on his shoulder, tilting his head, "But this is not a combination lock, how do you enter the date?"

Helios patted its head like taking care of a kindergarten child, and said with a smile: "360 days a year, different months, different dates, in the entire night sky, the position of each star is different. , even on the same day, but in different years, the position of the stars will have slight differences."

In ancient times, people judged which time of the year they were in based on the stars, the sun and the moon.The most famous positioning star is "Yinghuo", which is a fiery red star. When it starts to move westward, it corresponds to the arrival of autumn, and when it is about to sink in the sky, the biting cold wind will hit.

Every year, every month, and every day has its corresponding star chart, never repeating, going round and round, endlessly.

Zawba suddenly realized: "In other words, move these stars to the position corresponding to a certain date, and you can unlock the astrolabe!"

"That's right." Helios snapped his fingers.

"But which day is it exactly?" Zawba murmured, "Which day's star map is so important to Liang Shiheng that it is worth recording?"

3000 years ago, Liang Shiheng, who set up this code, was dressed in a white robe with loose blond hair, and he must have sat here quietly and deduced the stars. 3000 years later, Helios, who looks exactly like him, is also here, trying to find clues from the clues of history.

His brain was running at high speed, several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he passed them one by one, and finally only one possibility stood out, becoming clearer and clearer.

After finishing the calculation, Helios came to a conclusion: "Liang Shiheng is not concerned about himself, nor the emperor, nor love, but the so-called 'natural disaster', a natural disaster related to the common people in the world - the date here is the date of the natural disaster. "

"Natural disaster? Is it recorded in the history books?"

"No, but don't worry, so many historical materials are not for nothing, I can figure it out." Before Helios could finish speaking, he reached out and moved the stars made of small beads on the stone slab. In a trance, he thought that Liang Shiheng had reappeared in the world.

Helios and Liang Shiheng, they are so similar, no matter in appearance, character, or wisdom, they are just like two sides of the same hand, even they are repeating the path that the other has walked invisibly.

A night passed, and until the next morning, Helios still hadn't calculated an accurate result.

When Ye Pulong descended and bursts of purple light came from the direction of the village, he was still calculating.If there's a progress bar above his head, he's about 90.00% done at this point.

"Poor master, Ye Pulong left the village with only one wall!" Zawba urgently reported.

"Don't worry." Helios still moved the stars, like a stubborn child.

At this time, Cang Xing's voice suddenly came from Helios' ears. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he had given him an origami robot from Arthuria that day, which could be used for communication.

"Hey, how long do you have?" Xing's breathing sounded unsteady, rising and falling through the noisy electric waves, and he was probably in a fight with the dragon at the moment.

"Soon." Helios said calmly.

"I can hold on for another 5 minutes." After Xing finished speaking, he cut off the call.

"Damn, this man is so easy to pull." The claws looked shocked, "I'm dying like this."

"This is the style of Cang Xing." Helios said, he was not surprised that Xing died.

After an unknown amount of time, his fingers moved the last star back into place. At this moment, the Athenia tag in his pocket suddenly emitted a scorching temperature, which reacted with the astrolabe on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the entire astrolabe lit up, the stars on it began to rotate by themselves, and the pyramid trembled as if it was about to collapse.

The statues of Liang Shiheng and Ye Pulong also changed. The inverted triangular cones in their hands suddenly flipped, huge energy rushed out of the triangular cones, and a ray of light shot out from the top of the pyramid, shuttled through the rainforest, and pointed directly at the dragon cave.

Before Helios could appreciate the masterpiece in front of him, he was suddenly knocked down to the ground by a beam of light from the hand of the statue of Liang Shiheng. The stone slab under him collapsed, and Helios fell towards the endless darkness inside the pyramid.

Above the village of Yepulong, the battlefield on the wall.

There is only the last wall left, and the year is held by Ye Pulong again. If it is a movie, it can probably play the tragic BGM of the hero's end now.

"I can hold on for another five minutes."

At this juncture, Hoshi remembered Helios and used the origami robot to communicate with him.

Probably the last call.Star thought.

He cut off the news, picked up the Zhanfeng Spear and rushed towards the purple flame in the center of the battlefield.

The rope was thrown out, entangled in the dragon's wing bones, Cang Xing hoisted himself up, circling around the dragon, constantly calling out the boy's name.

The boy struggled to open his eyes in the scorching wind, which was already his best response.

The modified Zhanfeng gun was turned on to the maximum power, the blue zero-degree flame surrounded the gun body, the current passed through, and there was a sizzling sound. Xing raised the spear without reservation and threw it at Ye Pulong's front paw. □□Break the dragon claw, and with Cang Xing's order to reply, he took it back into his hand, he flew to the dragon claw, slashed sideways, and forcibly tore the dragon scales, exposing pale bones.Ye Pulong finally let go of his years, and his resentful and resentful eyes turned to Xing.

It will crush the man in front of him.

The violent purple light wave hit again, Xing tried his best to avoid it, but was still pushed out, he spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and twirled and fell towards the wall.

Just when he was about to hit the wall, a blue light supported him like a feather. Although it was only fleeting, it protected Xing's head and body and negated the damage from the fall.

At this time, someone noticed a faint blue light in the dark sky.

"What light is that?"

"It seems to be coming from the direction of the Dragon Cave!"

Also the direction of the pyramid.Xing clutched his lungs and thought to himself.

Helios did it.He unlocked the pyramid.

Ye Pulong was suddenly attracted by the blue light, gave up attacking humans, and turned around to follow the blue light.

Nian Sui hurried over to help Cang Xing up: "Brother, are you alright!"

"It's okay." Xing stood up with the Zhanfeng gun in his hand, and he said that being okay meant that he could continue to fight.

"Attention all departments, Ye Pulong is flying to the Dragon Cave! Ye Pulong is flying to the Dragon Cave!" The researcher's voice sounded on the radio.

"Continue to pursue!" The mecha captain raised his arms and shouted.

So several armored vehicles were hoisted by the elevator, and the soldiers drove to chase, running over the branches and grass leaves along the way.

"It's my first time going to the Dragon Cave..." Nian Sui clenched his fists nervously.

The armored vehicle was speeding, passing the pyramid on the way, but Ke Xing didn't see Helios.

However, the pyramid was indeed activated, and a blue beam of light was emitted from its top, pointing to the location of the Dragon Cave not far away, and Ye Pulong was attracted by this light.

"Damn, the pyramid is actually glowing!" Nian Sui exclaimed with his face against the window glass, "It's a relic from 3000 years ago!"

Xing took out the origami robot and planned to contact Helios, but unfortunately, the robot had been burned into a pile of black charcoal in the dragon flame just now.

The vehicle continued to move forward and reached the edge of the Dragon Cave. Everyone got out of the car and walked.

This place is already the deepest part of the rainforest, and there are towering ancient trees everywhere. Everywhere you look is green, giving you a feeling of tranquility and deepness.

The environment here has a cleansing effect, as if the life-and-death struggle they experienced just now is no longer important. At this moment, they are like a group of rainforest sightseeing groups, surrounded by the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers and the greenness of trees.

Gradually, the captain no longer used words to command, but made gestures, afraid of disturbing this quietness, and even more afraid of disturbing the dormant danger in this quietness.

They followed the stream back to the source, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Cave.The water in front of the Dragon Cave has accumulated into a waist-deep pool, with gurgling water, it is running water, but there are disgusting red algae floating in the water body, which is evidence that the water is polluted.

The entrance of the dragon cave is huge, like a knife and an axe, forming a Gothic natural cave on the rock wall.They marched through the water, pushed through layers of vines, and finally entered the interior of the Dragon Cave.

It was very narrow at first, and then it became wider and wider, and inside was a huge and beautifully carved palace.The hall has an extremely graceful vault, decorated with clouds and thunder patterns all around, and a small hole is opened in the vault to let the skylight through.The blue light emitted from the pyramid shines into the hall from here, and falls gracefully on Ye Pulong's body, and the floating dust rotates gently in the light, like little elves.

For some reason, Ye Pulong no longer attacked humans, and his hostility disappeared.It is like an old and tired old man, coiling himself up in a circle, lying on the stone platform in the center of the hall, and just wants to sleep peacefully at this moment.

It has become like a kitten now, and anyone can pet the top of its head.

People were attracted by Ye Pulong's anomaly, and it took a long time to realize that there was a shallow flute sound in the air. This kind of flute sound seemed to have a soothing effect, and with the blue light beam, Ye Pulong stabilized.

The sound of the flute is melodious, gentle and desolate. People are unconsciously attracted by it, adding a touch of peace deep in their hearts, as if they have forgotten their bloody body and pain.

Some memories flashed, and Xing's temples tingled slightly.

familiar melody.

He had heard this piece before, and it was Liang Shiheng who played it to him.He couldn't remember clearly, but he only remembered that when the sun was setting, the evening wind was gentle, the grass was boundless, Liang Shiheng's white robe was fluttering, and the sound of the flute was long, all the cattle and sheep stopped their movements and stared at him quietly, as if seeing a man A god with golden eyes.

"It's called 'Zhenlong Song', and the dragon will be quiet when it hears it, let alone these cattle and sheep." Liang Shiheng said with a smile in his memory.

It was a distant and beautiful summer.

But now... who is playing the melody of Zhenlong Song?

It should have been lost for 3000 years.

Xing couldn't help but follow the prestige, and saw a person walking out of the shadow in the corner of the hall, with blond hair swaying slightly, slender fingers pressing the flute hole, and playing an ethereal melody with lowered eyebrows.

He split the darkness like a ray of sunlight, and the edges of his blond hair seemed to be coated with a hazy golden light.

Helios.

Xing knew it was him, but he couldn't help but think of Liang Shiheng.

But they are different after all.

Xing watched him walk towards the crowd with rare softness in his eyes.At the end of the song, Helios put away the bone flute, raised his head slightly, and across the crowd, Chao Xing showed a smile that everything was under control.
