Chapter 294 The Missing Link

"What did you say? This treasure doesn't refer to anything valuable, but water!" Instructor Liu immediately jumped up from his chair when he heard the word water, and stared at Chen Ziyang with wide eyes.But then he frowned. After thinking carefully for a while, Instructor Liu shook his head at Chen Ziyang.

"I can tell you with certainty that there is indeed something in the treasure of this ancient country. Although I can't tell you what the treasure is, the thing in the treasure is definitely not water."

After saying this, Instructor Liu collapsed on the chair again, rubbed his face with both hands, and closed his eyes.From Chen Ziyang's point of view, Instructor Liu had lost interest in talking to him.

At this time, Chen Ziyang understood why this instructor Liu had worked hard for this ancient treasure for more than ten years. It seemed that he really wanted to get the things in the treasure, and he also knew what was buried in the treasure.It seems that part of my previous judgment was wrong, but it shouldn't be all wrong.

"Instructor Liu, listen to me carefully. Maybe I got the contents of the treasure wrong, but I think my idea is correct. This diamond can indeed save everyone's life.

Do you remember when this diamond showed us the way to go, a small amount of water gushed out of the diamond?I think this diamond is likely to produce a larger amount of water. As long as the method is used properly and the diamond can be fully activated, then all of us will be saved. "

"I have thought about this before, but don't you think you are a little too optimistic? The first time this diamond reacted was when you activated it with your blood in the ancient tomb, so the gem The approximate location of the ancient country is projected.

The second time the diamond responded, that is, after we arrived at the desert marked on the map, you dripped blood into the gem again.It's just that this time we need to add sand in the desert. Under the joint stimulation of blood and sand, this gemstone flows out a small amount of clear water, guiding us in the direction of progress.

According to this calculation, every time this diamond can be activated, some specific conditions are required, such as reaching a specific location, or contacting some special media.

After guiding the way forward, we came to the vicinity here, and then I used the astrology formulas recorded on the paper I gave you to determine the location of the ancient country.After knowing the location of this ancient country, the next thing to do is to enter the ancient country and use gems to open treasures.

So from this point of view, the next time the gem can be activated, it must have entered the ancient country and used the diamond as the key to unlock the treasure.But now we haven't even found this ancient country, and it is impossible for the diamond to be activated again.

I believe that you must not be idle these few days. You should have tried various methods but found nothing, so you came here to ask me for help. I am right. "

"You are right. I did try various methods these days, but this diamond didn't respond at all. Then I thought about the whole thing carefully, just like what you just said , I connected everything from the moment I came into contact with this diamond to the present, and I found that there is a link that we have overlooked, and this missing link is the reason why we have no way to find the location of the ancient country."

Instructor Liu finally became interested in Chen Ziyang's words, he sat up hastily and stared at Chen Ziyang carefully.After thinking for a while, Instructor Liu didn't think about which missing link Chen Ziyang mentioned, so he made a gesture of please to Chen Ziyang.

"It was the map projected from the diamond that led us to this desert, and it was also the water flowing from the diamond that guided us in the direction we were going. According to your judgment, this strange rock was finally needed to unlock the treasures of the ancient country. It has something to do with this diamond.

But what about the first step to unlocking the treasure?When you judged the location of the ancient country, you only used the astrology, and you didn't use diamonds at all in this step. "

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, a feeling of enlightenment instantly filled Instructor Liu's body, and Chen Ziyang even got goosebumps when he saw Instructor Liu.And from the trembling fingers of Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang could tell that Instructor Liu was very excited. Obviously, he also realized that what he said was correct.

"You mean... relying solely on the astrology... the missing link? Those astrological words must match the diamond to find the location accurately! No wonder! No wonder I used the astrology to determine the location of the ancient country. Always feel like something is missing.

Using those two astrological formulas to judge the location of the ancient country is indeed full of loopholes, but I thought that the person who recorded these two formulas deliberately wrote them in an obscure way.

Because the terrain here is special, and there are really no other clues, so I forced the formula.That's how it is, that's how it should be! "

After figuring out what Chen Ziyang said, Instructor Liu's eyes lit up, and he stared at Chen Ziyang expectantly. "Since you discovered this problem, in other words, you have found the missing link, and have you been able to accurately determine the location of the treasure?"

After saying this, Instructor Liu was stunned. What if he found the location of the treasure now? The thing in the treasure is not the water that Chen Ziyang mentioned, but other things. So even if they found the location of the ancient country, these people would still die of thirst in this desert.

Instructor Liu spent more than ten years looking for this treasure. He had never found the location of the treasure before, so when he heard Chen Ziyang tell the key to the whole thing, he couldn't control himself anymore. He couldn't help being excited, but when he figured out the most important problem he was going to face now, Instructor Liu's mood cooled down again.

"It's useless, even if you find the treasure of the ancient country, I told you before, the treasure inside is not the water you mentioned at all. Even if you find the treasure now, it still won't help.

Even if you find this missing link and can use the diamond again, how can you guarantee that water will flow out of the diamond?Moreover, the water flowing out of the diamond was so little, it was not enough for one person to drink, so what's the use of so much effort. "

The current Chen Ziyang was stomping his feet in anxiety, and this Instructor Liu was now on the edge of his horns, and it didn't make any sense.Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to tell Instructor Liu what Lao Lu experienced in the ancient tomb, and let him know that not only water could emerge from this diamond, but also a large amount of water could emerge from it. , even submerged that huge underground tomb.

But remembering that I had promised Lao Lu that I would never tell other people what Lao Lu told me, especially the Liu instructor who imprisoned me and Lao Lu, after pursing his lips, Chen Ziyang said again These words swallowed in my stomach.

"Hope is better than no hope. It is very likely that in this missing link, the diamond will still flow out of water, and it may even flow out a lot of water. If we don't try it, we will really have no way to survive. Yes, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

I'm very thirsty now, and I don't want to waste my time with you. Since you can't tell me what the treasure is, it doesn't matter. What I want to know is other things you know about this ancient country, not a single detail Let it go, tell me everything, and I will handle the rest by myself. "

"Well, although I have sent a few vehicles to search for water sources in other directions, I guess the possibility of them finding water sources is very small. And I am at the end of my rope here, and I have nothing to do. Instead of doing this, let you bet One hand, after all, you opened this diamond, and the rest of the steps can only be completed by you."

Afterwards, Instructor Liu told Chen Ziyang everything he knew about this ancient country in detail.After Chen Ziyang had memorized it firmly, Instructor Liu also told Chen Ziyang his understanding of the two verses related to astrology in the formula, and even briefly explained some knowledge about astrology to him. .

But the knowledge of astrology is very complicated and covers a wide range of areas. Chen Ziyang can't remember so much at all, and he can't understand it.After getting what he needed, Chen Ziyang nodded to Instructor Liu and said:
"We Taoists believe in fate the most. This diamond was opened by me. It is the fate between me and the diamond, and it is the fate between me and this ancient country. It is not yet the end of the mountain. I believe we still have a chance. I will go back and look carefully. I think there is still great hope.”

Instructor Liu showed a very reluctant smile. From Chen Ziyang's point of view, this smile contained some elements of contempt. It seemed that Instructor Liu didn't believe what he said at all.

After the two talked for a long time, Instructor Liu was already thirsty. He took out half a glass of water from the desk drawer and lifted it under his lips, drinking the water in the glass in small sips.After Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu drinking water, he subconsciously pursed his lips and swallowed.

Then instructor Liu brought the small glass of water to Chen Ziyang.Such a big temptation was in front of him, but Chen Ziyang held back. He shook his head to Instructor Liu, showed a grateful smile, and turned to walk outside the carriage.

When he got to the door of the carriage, Chen Ziyang stopped, turned his back to Instructor Liu and said: "This is the end, no matter what the result is, I will try my best, not only for you, but more importantly for me and my family." brother.

Can you tell me the truth, if none of these things happened and we successfully found the treasure and opened it, what would you do with the two of us when you fulfilled your long-cherished wish for many years?Did it just bury us in the yellow sand? "

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Ziyang did not get an answer from Instructor Liu, and then he continued: "I know that what I say to you now is an extravagant request, I just want to tell you that if I really get water , If you saved everyone's life and helped you find the treasure of the ancient country, can you let my brother go.

This kid is stupid, very stupid.So stupid that in these three days, he didn't drink a sip of water at all, and all the water was left to me. Now he has symptoms of dehydration, lying in the car with a fever.

From your attitude towards your subordinates, I can see that you are also a very affectionate person. Although the relationship between the two of us does not get along well, I hope you can look at this point of brotherhood, Accept my request.

As for me, you can deal with it casually, but please let him go, my good brother. "

After saying these words, Chen Ziyang did not wait for instructor Liu's answer, but pushed open the door of the carriage and was about to go outside. At this time, a voice came from behind him: "Go on!"

Turning around subconsciously, Chen Ziyang caught the thing that Instructor Liu threw at him, and after holding it in his hand, Chen Ziyang saw that what Instructor Liu threw to him turned out to be a kettle.After shaking the kettle, Chen Ziyang found that there should be at least a glass of water in the kettle.

This glass of water is probably the only water that Instructor Liu has left besides the small half glass of water.After receiving this gift, Chen Ziyang was really surprised.Then he looked at Instructor Liu with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know how much hope you have there, but it's better than no hope. Only with physical strength and energy can you handle the next thing. You can drink this water yourself, or use it to save your brother. I It can only help you so much.”

Chen Ziyang didn't know what caused Instructor Liu's attitude towards him to change. He really put all his treasures on the magical effect of the diamond, or what he said just now touched Instructor Liu's heart. emotion.

But no matter what, it was the right time for me to come to Instructor Liu this time. Not only did I get the information I wanted about the ancient country, but I also got an unexpected harvest from this glass of water.

After holding the kettle and holding it up to Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang turned and left without saying thank you.

After returning to the carriage, Chen Ziyang couldn't wait to help Yang Lei up, and fed him a few sips of water from the kettle.Because he didn't know whether his judgment was correct, and whether there would be clear water flowing out of this diamond, Chen Ziyang felt that it was better not to feed all the water to Yang Lei at once. Although the water was not much, it was barely enough. Enough for him to persist for two or three days.

Then Chen Ziyang touched the two drops of water on the rim of the kettle with his finger, and wiped the two drops of water on his lips, just like Yang Lei did before.

"Brother, it's time for me to take care of you. Hold on, and I will do my best."
