Book 1: Chapter 190

According to the girl, when she first heard the thunder at that time, she actually saw the thunder.

This description was very interesting. Seeing thunder no one had ever described it in this way. Fatty asked if she saw lightning and wondered if she wasnt all that skilled in language and literature.

Black Glasses told us that in the girl's description, she saw the thunder rushing towards her like a bunch of waves. The only thing she could do was escape, but the waves swallowed her again and again, driving her to a valley. In that valley, she saw all the waves rushing towards a crevice in the mountains. With nowhere left to run, she eventually rushed into the crevice.

When she went in, she saw that it was a site where ancient alchemy had been practiced. There was the cast-off skin of a Daoist immortal in the cave, along with murals that depicted the immortal carving mountains and opening holes in the local people's skulls to teach them.

She spent the night in the cave. When she woke up the next day, she didn't become mute and she wouldn't die if she left the village. Black Glasses believed that this village had such a stubborn disease because it was the deliberate act of this immortal. This person set up a trap to keep people in this village until they died so that he could cultivate.

Black Glasses went into the depths of the cave and found that there were a lot of bronze reeds attached to the cave walls, which went deep into the mountain. He also found that in the murals depicting the immortal carving the mountains, there were also many excavated caves that had a lot of reeds in them. They were exactly the same as the ones we saw in Yang Daguang's ancestral tomb.

So, Black Glasses took the villagers to blow up several of the surrounding caves. Amazingly enough, when it thundered again, the villagers no longer looked at the sky or entered a nightmarish state.

We sat down and Fatty touched his chin, "In other words, the villagers situation was caused when the thunder resonated with the mountains."

"If bronze reeds are implanted in the mountain and thunder resonates with them, a specific sound wave will form. So, this kind of thunder resonates with people who have holes in certain parts of their skulls and makes them confused?" I wondered, feeling like something was wrong.

According to this theory, Boss Jiao's people who went into the mountains to listen to thunder werent actually looking for thunder, but using the thunder to look for a mountain with bronze reeds in it.

There mustve been reeds buried in the mountains around the valley, so when thunder sounded at that time, those people in the valley would be caught up in a nightmare.

That immortal mustve been one of the Jin Tong Sects leaders, but I didnt know which faction he was from. So, did that mean Boss Jiao wasnt aiming for information in the thunder, but looking for the Jin Tong Sects ancestral hall? Did this ancient cult leave all of its treasures in the ancestral hall? If so, then Uncle Three's text message and Yang Daguang listening to thunder back then were all done for these treasures.

It fit with Uncle Three's usual routine, but I didnt think it was right because the thunder on the tape was exactly the same as the thunder I had heard in Hangzhou. Logically speaking, the probability of such a coincidence hardly needed to be calculated, but it did happen.

Thunder was definitely problematic. Otherwise, Uncle Three wouldnt have needed to go to the South Sea Kings tomb to find information about listening to it.

Fatty saw that Black Glasses was done talking, so he said, "Black Glasses, you said so much but all it really boils down to is that we might have a nightmare and become mute if we go down. What's your conclusion?"

"Look at the sky. It may thunder later. Were now in Thunder City, so I dont know what will happen after it thunders. But whatever happens, it must be related to the bronze tower under our feet," I helped Black Glasses relay his conclusion. "The top of this tower is made of bronze, which is very suitable for sound transmission and attracting thunder. If it does start thundering after we enter, we may encounter unspeakable danger so we need someone to stay up top in case we need to be rescued. As for the ones to go down, I think it should be me and Fatty. You and Little Brother have already been pioneers once. It's our turn."

"I think it should be Fatty and Mute (1), Black Glasses said. He doesn't need to talk anyway. Fatty, youve talked so much in the first half of your life that it should be good to talk less in the second half of it."
