Volume 1 The Ancient Book of the Seven Rivers Chapter 12 The Immortal Emperor's Order, Arriving at the Site
"It's fine. Liu Chen continued to look out the window, the last time Liu Chen saw such a scene, it was when Liu Zhou was alive, that year, Liu Zhou took Liu Chen to his hometown to see an old man.
That winter, Liu Zhou drove and took Liu Chen to return to their hometowns. Liu Zhou said that it was the deceased of his hometown who was terminally ill, and this person's surname was Yuan, who was a fortune teller and a feng shui master.
When Liu Zhou was young, he went up the mountain to play and encountered a vicious tiger in the mountain. Fortunately, Mr. Yuan came to the rescue at that time, and he was able to escape from the tiger's mouth and pick up a small life.
This can also be regarded as Liu Zhou's life-saving benefactor.
Liu Zhou drove all the way to a very old village. Liu Chen never dreamed that there would be such a village in this world. The villages are all mud houses, small courtyards surrounded by tree branches.
In the yard, there are vegetables grown by the farmers themselves, as well as free-range chickens and ducks, and piglets eating chaff in the pen.
"Brother Liu is back. "In the middle of the village, some lazy people were playing poker and chatting. When they saw Liu Zhou's car, they immediately spoke.
"Mr. Yuan is seriously ill, I'll come back and take a look. Liu Zhou lowered the window and said to the outsiders.
"Yo, this is your son! looks like you, so big in a flash. The thin middle-aged man outside said.
"Haha," Liu Zhou smiled happily: "It's called Uncle Zhuzi." ”
"Hello Uncle Zhuzi!" Liu Chen repeated.
"Hey, hey, good. Gotta get busy first, and come to the house in a while!" Uncle Zhu said.
"Good. Liu Zhou answered, and drove to the west end of the village.
At the west end of the village, there is a very peculiar courtyard with a wide open gate, and there is a small pond in the courtyard with lotus flowers and goldfish.
"Get out of the car!" Liu Zhou said, parked the car aside, gave up a vacancy to pass the car, and took Liu Chen into the yard.
"Xiaozhou is back!" As soon as Liu Zhou entered the yard, a mother-in-law came out of the back of the house. The mother-in-law was over sixty years old, with a straight waist, a strong body, and a dustpan in her hand, which contained dried mushrooms.
"Aunt Yuan, I'll help you. Liu Zhou said, stepping forward and taking the dustpan.
"This is your baby!" Aunt Yuan asked.
"Well, Xiao Chen, call someone. Liu Zhou said.
"Grandma Yuan. ”
"Hey, hey, good. Quick, let's go into the house! Your uncle also said that when you come back today, I have to make something good for you. Aunt Yuan said, smiling and taking Liu Zhou and Liu Chen into the house.
Aunt Yuan walked into the kitchen, opened the cauldron, took a few wooden lumps from the side of the cauldron, added water to the cauldron, and lit the fire.
Liu Zhou took Liu Chen and entered the inner room.
"Xiaozhou, come here!" Inside, Mr. Yuan sat on the edge of the kang, leaning against the wall, with a pillow that his granddaughter had bought around his neck.
"Uncle Yuan, how is your health?" Liu Zhou sat aside and asked with concern.
"Hey, that's it. It's more than seventy, and it's a day to live. Business is good in the city?"
"Well, that's good. Thanks to you. ”
"Bad, silly boy. This is all your own blessing, cultivate it yourself, get it yourself. Uncle Yuan said, glancing at Liu Chen, who was standing there.
"Yo, this is your baby?"
"Hello Grandpa Yuan!" Liu Chen said.
"Hey, don't stand, sit. Mr. Yuan said, and Liu Chen sat down on the wooden bench on the ground.
"Hey, tell me, I told your father at the beginning that your Liu family is about to become a nobleman. No, I saw it today. Mr. Yuan said, looking at Liu Zhou.
"Uncle Yuan, don't be kidding. What kind of noble man is this son of mine? ”
"Well, that's your fault. This baby is young, only a teenager this year, and she is still in school! In a few years, when you're older, you'll be able to see it. Mr. Yuan said, smiling faintly, then sat up straight, picked up a cigarette from the side, and lit a dry tobacco.
"Xiaozhou, your father came here last week, tell me to remind you, your business, pay more attention. Mr. Yuan said.
Liu Chen was still strange at that time, this grandfather passed the word to his father, and he used outsiders to pass it on, but Liu Chen thought about it carefully, and he had never seen his grandfather since he could remember.
"I know. How's my father's health? I haven't seen him in over 20 years. Liu Zhou said.
"Tough, it's not a big deal. After Mr. Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Chen and asked Liu Zhou: "You brought this child here today, do you want me to show it!"
Liu Zhou smiled awkwardly, acquiescing to what Mr. Yuan said.
"Yes, you stinky boy, you always hit my attention. Mr. Yuan said, taking out an iron box from the side. Mr. Yuan didn't open the tin box and asked, "How many is this child's birthday?"
Liu Zhou said it fluently, Mr. Yuan pinched his fingers and calculated, and then looked at Liu Chen's face.
"Boy, come here. Mr. Yuan said, and Liu Chen came closer.
Mr. Yuan touched Liu Chen's forehead and the position of the dantian, smiled faintly, and said to Liu Zhou: "You and your father are right. As I said at the beginning, there is no danger. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan. Liu Zhou said politely. However, at this time, Liu Chen was unclear.
When it comes to this fortune telling, Liu Chen has always been skeptical. However, after reading it, Mr. Yuan said something inexplicable, so that Liu Chen didn't know what it meant, but it seemed that his father already knew.
"Child, you have a catastrophe in your life, and the rest of your life will be smooth sailing. You will become an immortal emperor in the future, and then you will be able to calm all the hatred and regret in your heart. Mr. Yuan said.
Liu Chen did read some novels such as cultivating immortals and fantasy at that time, but it was a novel after all, Immortal Emperor? Liu Chen didn't think so. However, Liu Chen still thanked Mr. Yuan.
Mr. Yuan could see from Liu Chen's expression that Liu Chen didn't believe it very much, and he didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.
At noon, Liu Chen and Liu Zhou, after having dinner at Mr. Yuan's house, walked around the village, went to some relatives' houses for a walk, and the two of them returned. On the way back, Liu Chen also asked Liu Zhou what the Immortal Emperor meant.
Liu Zhou just smiled faintly and said that when the time came, he would know.
After many years, Liu Chen almost forgot about it. If it weren't for going out this time and coming to the wilderness, Liu Chen wouldn't have remembered it.
Now, Liu Chen thought about it carefully, could it be true that the old man said about the feather ascension?
The car stopped and stopped in front of an inn. Yin Mengjiang got out of the car alone, said hello to the people at the inn, and then everyone entered the house with their luggage.
"This is the territory of the Ninth Master, a site. We had a day off here, filled up the car and left tomorrow morning. Yin Mengjiang said, and everyone walked into the arranged room and put down their luggage.
In the evening, Yin Mengjiang ordered a roast whole sheep at the inn, and Liu Chen bought some side dishes and a few catties of soju. This can make Professor Liu look up for fun.
Sitting in the car all the way to now, Professor Liu has long been exhausted. Taking a sip of wine and getting some sleep can relieve you a lot.
The next day was booked, Liu Chen, Xiao Jiang, and Yu Qin drove. Therefore, Kobayashi and Yin Mengjiang also drank some.
And when they had eaten, they went to rest. Liu Chen couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the room and looked. Liu Chen suddenly thought of the power of the origin that the old man said, as well as the "Secret of Penetrating the Bone".
Liu Chen stood in the courtyard of the inn, opened his arms, and wanted to use the method taught by the old man to himself to feel the power of the source, but he was very disappointed, Liu Chen did not feel the feeling that the old man said.
Obviously, there is no Origin Power here. It seems that as the old man said, the power of the origin in this world is about to dry up.
Liu Chen sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and slowly used the power of the origin in his body according to the mantra of "The Secret of Penetrating the Bone". Sure enough, after just a minute of effort, Liu Chen felt that the fatigue in his whole body had disappeared.
In its place, there is an infinite amount of energy.
"It's so late, why don't you go to sleep!" Yin Mengyue put on her coat and walked over.
"Can't sleep, who are you?" asked Liu Chen curiously.
"Just went to the bathroom and saw you outside, so come and have a look. Yin Mengyue said and sat down on the stone bench next to Liu Chen.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and then, Yin Mengyue asked, "Liu Chen, why do you want to worship the Ninth Master as a teacher!"
Liu Chen looked at Yin Mengyue and didn't say anything. In fact, Liu Chen just trusted his intuition, and if he wanted to say the reason, Liu Chen himself couldn't say why.
Perhaps, Liu Chen also has such thoughts! The Ninth Master knew about Hao Sen's killing, and it seemed that Hao Lin did it, but he never found evidence.
Liu Chen didn't know if Jiu Ye had the evidence before, or if he only went to find the evidence after finding his own information. However, Liu Chen believes that it is the latter, after all, the Hao family has nothing to do with the Ninth Master.
Jiu Ye must have wanted to give himself a benefit through Hao Sen's relationship, just as a thank you gift given by Jiu Ye after saving Jiu Ye, or a meeting gift given by Jiu Ye when he met Jiu Ye for the first time.
"I don't know!" Liu Chen replied simply. In Yin Mengyue's eyes, this sentence became a perfunctory. However, Yin Mengyue didn't mind.
For Yin Mengyue, this Liu Chen hides a lot of secrets. He didn't want to say it, it was normal. After all, when the Liu family was not bankrupt, Liu Chen had been extremely low-key in Jiashi.
Many people have only heard of his name and have not met him.
Yin Mengyue didn't ask much, just quietly looked at the moon in the sky. Liu Chen looked at Yin Mengyue's face, not only remembering Hao Sisi who was still at home, but also not knowing how Hao Sisi was doing now.
Last night, the two of them had just completed the two-year-long cave room, and Liu Chen felt unfinished thinking about it now.
"You two are not tired!" Yin Mengjiang also walked out of the inn: "Here, it's not good to rest?"
"No, I just can't sleep. Liu Chen said embarrassedly. Yin Mengyue looked at her brother and said, "Brother, I'll go back to sleep first, you can talk!"
Then, Yin Mengyue entered the room. Yin Mengjiang and Liu Chen did it.
"This girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If she says something that doesn't please her, don't you mind!" Yin Mengjiang said embarrassedly.
In fact, Yin Mengjiang, Jiuye, and Liu Chen are all clear in their hearts. Although Liu Chen is now worshipping the Ninth Master as a teacher, the root cause is just to ask for a portal.
This Liu Chen's ability to distinguish antiques is much stronger than that of the Ninth Master. This ability was not taught by the Ninth Master. What's more, Liu Chen is also the life-saving benefactor of the Ninth Master.
Although whether it is overt or secret, Liu Chen and Yin Mengjiang are commensurate with each other, Liu Chen is still Yin Mengjiang's junior brother. But in Yin Mengjiang's heart, Liu Chen is almost the same as his master.
"No, Satsuki is quite smart. Liu Chen said. This Yin Mengjiang heard Liu Chen praise his sister again, can he not be happy, so he smiled happily, and the two of them sat on the side.
"Senior brother, what kind of person is that Yu Qin! Just now, I saw that when he was eating, he carried that guqin on his back, why is this?" Liu Chen asked curiously.
"The reason why he is called Yu Qin is because of the characteristics of this person, no matter where he goes, he carries this piano on his back. I only figured it out the last time I went out with him. In his piano, there was an ancient sword hidden. Yin Mengjiang said.
"Ancient Sword?"
