Chapter Ninety-Six: The Secrets of the Old Days
Cai Yuan held the table and chair in his hand, slowly got up and came to the bookshelf, and pulled out a picture scroll from one side.
"Painting?"
Lu Yipin was slightly shocked in his heart! Then he thought about it, yes! In the first few months of his prime minister's mansion, he had already "eaten" all of Grandpa Cai's books! And at that time, he didn't move anything other than books!
"Could it be that the answer to this 'mountain and river spirit' is actually in a painting?"
The picture scroll gradually opened as Cai Yuan's palm moved, and what appeared in front of Lu Yipin's eyes was a scene of a landslide and a crack, overturning the river and the sea!
"This is the spirit of the mountains and rivers?" Lu Yipin looked at the scene on the scroll and was stunned! If this is what the mountains and rivers look like when they walk the spirits, how many living beings in the world will be buried in the general trend of the world at that time?
This is a natural disaster!
"Look at the text above!" Cai Yuan guided Lu Yipin to look.
I saw the blank space in the scroll, and I don't know if the person who painted it was written a few lines of small words by someone else!
And the words that Cai Yuan said before that the mountains and rivers walk the spirit come from here: The mountains and rivers walk the spirit, and they move once in a thousand years! The mountains and rivers change color, and the lives are destroyed!
At the beginning, it pointed out the time when the mountains and rivers walked away and the harm to the creatures in the world!
This text is very long, Lu Yipin read it patiently, and it was not until he was near the end of his heart that he was a little at ease!
Vitality is surging, and talents are coming out in large numbers!
Lu Yipin looked at Cai Yuan and wondered, "Is this a test of heaven for living beings?"
"I'm afraid so!" Cai Yuan nodded, he had the same thought in his heart. It's just that he doesn't cultivate immortals and doesn't practice martial arts, and his vitality is useless to him.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that it will be beneficial to cultivators in the world?" Lu Yipin had deeper doubts in his heart. Although the cultivators in the world are like carp crossing the river, there are more ordinary beings in the world!
Why is this heavenly welfare so biased?
The more Lu Yipin thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as dogs?
Cai Yuan just lightly pointed his finger at the last sentence, and said lightly: "Look at the last sentence." ”
"However, the mountains and rivers have been spiritualized for decades! It's a blessing in the world!
Lu Yipin frowned, this is the difference in the context, it can be said that it is completely opposite!
Looking at Lu Yipin's confused gaze, Cai Yuan said unhurriedly: "I once asked someone to look at this painting, this painting has been thousands of years old!
"Moreover, my friend also said that the two paragraphs in this blank space are actually decades apart. ”
Lu Yipin's eyes flashed, and he understood what Cai Yuan meant: "In this way, the painter made this painting when he felt the danger of the mountains and rivers to the common people in the world when he felt the spirits." But a few decades later, I saw the blessings of the mountains and rivers to the people in the world, so I supplemented it in the blank space?"
Cai Yuan bowed his head lightly: "I'm afraid this is really the case!"
"Then if it's really like this, then is this mountain and river spirit good or bad?" Lu Yipin thought of his father, and he was a little difficult to accept this answer.
Cai Yuan stretched out his hand and took down the two scrolls from the bookshelf, opened them one by one, and said, "You can compare these two maps again." ”
"Maps?"
Lu Yipin's heart moved, and he immediately thought of something! The mountains and rivers are gone, and the mountains and rivers are displaced! Since this is the case, the landform will eventually be different!
Lu Yipin went up with his eyes, looked at the two maps that were almost completely different, and said confusedly: "This is ......"
Suddenly, Lu Yipin saw the word "Da Yu" on one of them! He read it out loud for a while! What he didn't expect was that Cai Yuan took out two maps to prove that the mountains and rivers were walking spirits, and one of them turned out to be Da Yu's current map!
"This ...... This is Dayu?"
Cai Yuan slowly nodded his head in Lu Yipin's incredulous eyes.
"Could this be Da Yu from a thousand years ago?" Lu Yipin exclaimed, pointing to the map that didn't show any similarities with Da Yu now.
Cai Yuan nodded again, as if he had decided something, his tone was heavy, and he said slowly: "Long before you were born, there was an old locust tree in the east of the city that was rumored to be a thousand years old. Look, there's a big tree on top of this map?"
"Big locust tree?" Lu Yipin was slightly surprised, Cai Yuan, he really had evidence to prove that these two maps that no longer looked the same were the same place!
Lu Yipin's heart moved, and he had an idea: "I can absorb the essence of the book with my hands, I don't know if this scroll is okay?"
So, Lu Yipin quietly pressed his hands on the two maps, one left and one right, and leaned his head up, looking at the place Cai Yuan was pointing. Sure enough, there are two big trees at the tips of Cai Yuan's fingers!
What can be marked on the map must be something of reference value!
But how come there is no such valuable tree?
"Grandpa Cai, is that big tree still there now? Why have I never heard of it?" Lu Yipin was curious, if this big tree really had such a big reputation, why had he never heard of it?
Cai Yuan's expression darkened, his lips trembled slightly, and he said for a long time: "Do you know why Da Yu Dingdu is like this?"
Lu Yipin's heart moved, and said, "It can't be because of this big locust tree, right?"
Cai Yuan nodded: "Long before Da Yu didn't establish a country, this was already the most prosperous place within a radius of hundreds of miles! It was because of the existence of this big locust tree! And Da Yu was able to establish a country because of it!"
"But since it's like this, then why is it gone?" Lu Yipin was even more puzzled.
Cai Yuan's eyes flashed with grief, and his voice became hoarse, and he said, "Do you know why the last generation of King Yu and your grandfather Dingguo Hou passed away?"
Lu Yipin's heart sank, and he slowly shook his head. He had never thought much about the secret of his grandfather's death before, but today it seems that there is a lot of secret!
"Yuanming Sect! All of them are Yuanming Sects! Otherwise, how do you think the current Yuanming Church was built? The main beam of it is the trunk of this thousand-year-old locust tree!" Cai Yuan said sadly.
Lu Yipin still didn't understand that although this Yuan Ming Sect felt hateful, it was not so angry to use this thousand-year-old locust tree to build a church, right? Otherwise, how could there still be so many believers now?
"If they just cut down the big locust tree, but they are jealous because of the opposition of King Yu and your grandfather!" Cai Yuan gritted his teeth and finally told the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years!
"So, my grandfather and King Yu were actually killed by the people of the Yuan Ming Sect?" Lu Yipin finally understood at this moment, why his father did not have King Yu to target the Yuan Ming Sect so much! It turns out that the root of this is here!
Cai Yuan's eyes closed and he leaned deep into the seat, for him, restarting the old scars was another injury. However, after hearing Lu Yipin's question, he still nodded.
He continued: "If they just want the lives of King Yu and your grandfather, it will be fine! But their ambitions don't stop there! They even want to steal the fruits of Dayu's victory!"
"They started a war! Drove other countries to come to conquer Da Yu! Da Yu fought the whole country, and at the moment when the balance of war was tilting in favor of Da Yu, these people from the Yuan Ming Sect made a move!"
"Your grandfather fought to the death, so that King Yu was able to lead the remnants to flee back to Kyoto! It turns out that your grandfather was not able to protect King Yu that day, and he still caused King Yu to be seriously injured!"
"This ...... Why did my father never tell me about these things?" Lu Yipin's expression darkened. "If you tell me, I can share it with him, huh?"
Cai Yuan: "Because, he is your father!"
Lu Yipin's expression was bitter and smiled, yes, it was because he was my father that I thought about sharing it for him! Grandpa's hatred was not his alone's, but the hatred of the entire Hou Mansion!
"Grandpa Cai, let's continue to talk about the mountains and rivers, right?" Lu Yipin said differently.
Lu Yipin had already seen the information that had been absorbed in his mind! Compared with the two, Lu Yipin finally found several similar locations.
If one of these two paintings is before the mountains and rivers after the mountains and rivers go to the spirits, then according to the comparison on the map, the changes in the landform are still quite large! However, when this change slows down to a few decades to complete, it will not cause too much burden to the ordinary people in the world. It's no wonder that the painter uses that emotional change when he mentions the words for the second time.
Leaving from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Yipin went straight back to the Junhou Mansion.
He wanted to have an open and honest conversation with his father Lu Mingchuan again! About his grandfather, about Dayu, about revenge!
When Lu Mingchuan heard that his son Lu Yipin knew the cause of his grandfather's death, his expression suddenly changed, but he regained his calm in an instant. The current Lu Yipin has long been in the realm of the Martial King! It can be said that he is the kind of person who walks sideways in Dayu! He is fortunate not to bully others, so how much do he have to worry about?
This time the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk, except for the two of them, no one knew what they were talking about, and even Lu's mother was kicked out of the room by the father and son. Not to mention others.
However, judging from Lu Yipin's expression when he came out of the room, the two didn't seem to be talking very well.
Luo Yan looked at his son-in-law with a sullen look, and had the heart to come forward to greet him, but was stopped by his father-in-law Robin. Lu Yipin just lowered his head all the way back to his room.
Now that the sky has just darkened, it is time for dinner, but looking at Lu Yipin's appearance, he has no intention of eating at all, so he went straight to his room, opened the dark room, and walked in.
Lu Yipin's dark room was specially built by Lu Mingchuan for Lu Yipin! The purpose was to let Lu Yipin have a safe environment to practice the exercises that he had been possessed and passed down by others!
Lu Mingchuan had already felt the improvement brought by Lu Yipin's cultivation of that exercise!
Now Lu Yipin seems to have become a martial king who can be compared to himself! This is only a few months of cultivation!
