Episode 20: Ye Liuxi’s identity revealed
After a long night’s journey, everyone stayed at the Red Flower Tree Inn within Black Rock City. Feitang had nothing to do and fed the twins fruits. Ye Liuxi thought that it would be good to keep this strange beast. If it feels boring, just let it go. It became a Changdong show. Everyone waited at the hotel for two full days and finally got to Li Jin’ao, through whom they learned about the existence of water eyes in Yingbin Village.
The so-called water eye is equivalent to a “remote camera”. It is a strange beast in the shape of water. The water eye is divided into male and female, and they can communicate with each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. The male water eye will immediately receive what the female water eye sees, without any trace. Omission.
After breakfast the next day, everyone got ready and drove all the way to Black Rock City. At this moment, there were several cars parked outside the city gate, each with a bird flag flying on its beacon light. A car drove up in front of Changdong and the others. An old man got out of the car, leaning on a black iron walking stick, and called Ye Liuxi’s name very familiarly.
In the following conversation, everyone learned that the old man’s name was Zhao Guanshou, who was the leader of Black Rock City and one of the top figures in the Yulin Guard. The gates of Black Rock City are closed at sunset and opened at sunrise, without setting a precedent for anyone. Cars go through the side door and file in. The street was spacious, but deserted. There were no shops on the street and they were all tall black walls. Zhao Guanshou took them to the museum.
At Ye Liuxi’s request, Zhao Guanshou acquiesced to Changdong and others to follow him in, but blocked Li Jin’ao from outside. After entering the museum, he was first shown a map more than two meters high, which detailed the landforms of various cities in the pass. Zhao Guanshou answered Changdong’s doubts and told the origins of Sima Dao and the shadow puppets.
Next, I saw a large and square stone portrait with six horizontal seal characters on the side, which read “bones flow to the west, souls look to the east”. You can read it forward or backward. In short, it is the same as Ye Liu. West has a lot to do with it. Zhao Guanshou led everyone to the huge copper relief mural and said that the painting depicts the beast-headed chaos. It is said that when the Nan Hui star moves to the point where the sky does not move at noon, there will be great turmoil in the pass.
At that time, the shadow puppet secret technique The shadow puppet and camel team will be out of order, and the shadow puppet and camel team will be paralyzed. Only the person born on the next day when the sun appears in Nanga will appear at the same time as the animal-headed yellow sheep, entering and exiting Yumen Pass at will.
More than a thousand years ago, a vision came from heaven, and a peasant woman gave birth to a baby boy, named Li Wangdong. Later, Li Wangdong grew up and established a beast-headed organization within the pass in an attempt to break the rule of Black Rock City. He wanted to use the power outside the pass to rescue the people inside the pass and thus open Yumen Pass. To this end, he used gold to finance the princes surnamed Li outside the pass at that time and borrowed money from them. One hundred thousand soldiers.
Unfortunately, Li Wangdong was about to lure the enemy out of the pass, but was betrayed by the princes and almost died outside the pass. Seeing the beast-headed organization falling apart, Li Wangdong knew that the end was over, so he drew his sword and committed suicide when Nan Zixing disappeared.
The alchemists of the Li family restored the bones of the shadow puppets and formed a shadow puppet and camel team again to help Blackstone City enter and exit Yumen Pass and trade outside the pass, and restore order within the pass.
The sign family asked Nan Gai to break through Yumen and found that a baby girl was born in the village north of Liusha Yadan. This baby had the same fate as Li Wangdong. Since her birth, no shadow puppet in the pass has been able to stand up.
No matter it is Li Wangdong or Ye Liuxi, no one inside the pass can kill them, only people outside the pass can. Therefore, Zhao Guanshou does not want the Beast Head Rebellion to happen again. Fortunately, he found Ye Liuxi in time. He brought her back to Black Rock City and incorporated her into the Yulin Guards, allowing her to freely enter and exit Yumen Pass to transport supplies.
But not long after, the Scorpion Eyes Rebellion broke out, and the leader was Jiang Zhan. In Zhao Guanshou’s view, the momentum of the Scorpion Eyes organization was like another beast’s head. Hu Yangcheng soon fell and became the place where Scorpion Eyes was entrenched.
The family asked Silver Snake to predict three times. The first time predicted that Nan Gai would break through Yumen, the second time predicted the disaster of “leaving Yumen in the west”, and the third time the same thing. It is the west exit from Yumen, but it is both calamity and vitality, which means that Ye Liuxi is both the one who ties the bell and the one who unties it.
From then on, Ye Liuxi was ordered to sneak into Scorpion Eye to work as an undercover agent. As a result, the identity of the undercover agent was exposed, and Jiang Zhan ordered her to be hanged outside Populus Euphratica City as a warning to others. Although there are spies stationed in Black Rock City in Populus Euphratica City, it is not easy to rescue people from prison. Zhao Guanshou found Long Shen, the leader of the alchemists, to discuss a rescue method.
