Chapter 796: The Secret of the Five Snakes
I raised my knife expressionlessly and walked towards Old Man Lin, who was so frightened that he almost lost his soul: "You can't kill me." Kill me and you'll lose all your secrets...... The Dragon Vein Secret Realm is not as simple as you think, there is a real Dragon Vein Heavenly Master hidden there, a real Dragon Vein Heavenly Master!"
I stopped and said, "Dragon Vein Heavenly Master, is it true or false?"
"Points!" Old Man Lin said quickly: "The dragon vein heavenly master in the later stage can only find dragons, but the real heavenly master knows how to raise dragon casting veins, and the dragon town is lucky! There is a real dragon vein heavenly master here, only I can help you find that person." ”
I said lightly: "Where is Zhang Zishuo?"
Old man Lin hurriedly replied: "Zhang Zishuo has been secretly escorted back to the headquarters. I don't know exactly where I went. However, Zhang Zishuo didn't say anything valuable, and he didn't know the secret of the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. ”
My eyes were slightly cold and said, "Then you can die." ”
"Wang Huan, you listen to me......" Old Man Lin didn't finish his words, the Heavens Blade had already swept across his throat, and the moment the blood floated down the tip of the knife, Old Man Lin's eyes showed endless remorse, but he couldn't say a word in his mouth.
I leaned down and looked at the old man Lin who was still breathless: "I regret it, don't you regret not telling the most critical secret here as a bargaining chip for your life......?"
I sneered: "Now I don't need you to say it, the secret of raising dragons, I will find it myself." ”
Old Man Lin's eyes, which were about to lose their luster, suddenly widened like a return to light, and just a few seconds later, Old Man Lin fell to the ground, and he couldn't close his eyes until he died.
I put aside Old Man Lin's corpse and said to Ling'er, "Is there any way to summon the Tulip Ancestor?"
Ling'er shook her head and said, "I've never heard of summoning ancestors. ”
It seems that the method of summoning the ancestor of the tulip is still in the hands of the dumb slave, and Ling'er has no dumb slave, so she naturally loses most of the secrets. I was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll try it!"
I walked up to the bronze coffin with my stumbling sword and struck it at the coffin, starting at the head of the coffin and striking it every inch until the end of the coffin. The second time, I changed it to every two inches, and the third time, I changed it to three inches apart......
When I raised my knife for the fourth time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the direction of the pool where Ling'er and I had been hiding: "Don't knock, it's annoying." ”
When the four of us turned around at the same time, there was already a woman in a red robe in the direction of the pool. The smell of blood and flowers mixed from the other party's blood-stained red clothes was like a bewitching perfume, with a temptation that was enough to make people indulge, and walked into blood with the fragrance of flowers.
"Ghost pupils, open!" After a sudden burst of blood in my eyes, the woman standing by the pool turned into a red-scaled python entrenched on the edge of the pool.
I couldn't help but gasp, but the python regained its womanly shape in front of my eyes.
I said in a deep voice, "Are you a human or a dragon?"
The woman shook her head and said, "You can call me Zhang Min, as for it, it doesn't make much difference to you whether it's a human or a dragon, as long as you know, it's enough for me to be the ancestor of the Tulip family." ”
Zhang Min said calmly: "After you entered the tulip tomb, I have been observing you in the dark. This generation of patriarchs has lost their dumb slaves, and it seems that they have no determination to sacrifice for the family, but it doesn't matter, I can give you two choices. ”
Zhang Min said in a deep voice: "The first choice is that you will bring another blood-related clansman over before Qingming next year." At the same time, it also brings a suitable dumb slave. We devour that people and continue to bless the Tulip family for its prosperity. ”
"The second option is to give up the feng shui shelter altogether. Use your own strength to defend the family. You can choose. ”
Zhang Min was obviously talking to Ling'er, and the latter was also silently pondering, I looked at Zhang Min and said, "You devoured the dragon to continue to stimulate the aura in the dragon's lair?"
"So to speak!" Zhang Min said: "The dragon vein does not protect the truth of the Ten Thousand Dynasty, you should know, right?"
"Yes!"
Although the legend of the dragon vein is mysterious, there is no saying that it will protect the dynasty for thousands of years, and besides, there is no dynasty in history that can continue undefeated for thousands of years. If the dragon vein is compared to a real dragon, burying the tomb in the dragon's lair is undoubtedly digging a hole in the dragon's heart, planting a seed in it, and letting it continue to absorb the aura of the dragon. Sooner or later, the aura will dry up, and sooner or later the dynasty will decline and perish.
This principle is very simple, but the emperors or families who have been obsessed with dragon veins for thousands of years do not know how many. There is no other reason than the superstition that Feng Shui can bring infinite luck.
Seeing me nodding, Zhang Min continued: "I voluntarily stayed in the tomb to survive, just to protect the family's prosperity forever. In order not to lose the aura of the leyline, I can only continue to devour the juniors and replenish the spirit of the leyline. I divided the inheritance into two parts. One is left for the patriarch and one is reserved for the dumb slave, just so that when the patriarch can't make up his mind and sacrifice for the family, someone can help her. ”
The answer Zhang Min gave me was similar to what I had speculated, and the dumb slave really played the role of the executioner. If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Min should still have a way to control the dumb slave.
I asked rhetorically, "The leylines you are talking about can really shelter a family thousands of miles away?"
Zhang Min smiled: "You can ask Ling'er next to you, how the Tulip family survived several crises." ”
When I looked at Ling'er, the latter took a deep breath and said, "According to family history, the Tulip family has encountered four extinction crises. In every crisis, the new patriarch led the family to turn the tide, while the previous patriarch and the mute slave died unexpectedly. ”
Zhang Min said with a smile: "They didn't die because of an accident, but they came here quietly and became the nourishment of the family's dragon vein." In other words, Tulip's four crises were all due to the depletion of the leyline aura, which led to the sudden and almost collapse of the family's luck, which affected the survival of the family. ”
I whispered, "What caused the aura's energy to run out, was it a tsunami, or was it an earthquake?
I don't have this question for nothing. Legend has it that an attack on the mausoleum by an external force will directly affect the luck of the mausoleum, leading to disasters.
One of the most famous is the legend of the Ming Ancestral Tomb. According to legend, the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum is also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather rests, located at the mouth of the Huai River on the west bank of Hongze Lake. In the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the jurisdiction of Fengyang Mansion in the south of Zhili, and Fengyang was where the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty was located. However, the location of the Ming ancestral tomb is too close to Hongze Lake, and every time there is a major flood, it will be impacted by the lake, and every time the lake water is poured into the Ming ancestral tomb, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably have a turbulence. Until the last flood, the city of Sizhou was flooded by the lake, and the Ming Dynasty also perished.
The situation with the tulip tombs is probably similar.
"Have it!" Zhang Min said: "The sea is no better than the land, every time the wind and clouds change, I have to mobilize spiritual energy to resist earthquakes and tsunamis, and ensure that the earth's leylines are not broken, which will naturally consume a lot of spiritual energy." So at this time, the patriarch needs to make a sacrifice. Of course, if he is lucky and there are more dragon bloodlines in his family, he will not have to sacrifice himself. ”
Zhang Min's voice paused: "Have you thought about it now?" should you continue to protect the family, or give up the dragon vein?"
Ling'er looked at Zhang Min: "I think about it, I will give up the feng shui leyline." ”
Ling'er said in a deep voice: "Although the feng shui leyline has brought endless glory to the family, it has also caused countless tragedies for the family. Each Tulip member is also trembling as he enjoys the benefits of the family, fearing that one day a cursed bad luck will befall him and turn him into a boa constrictor with no body temperature. ”
Perhaps, some people will feel that having a huge asset and having a supreme position means everything. You can give up a lot of things. But I don't think that's a blessing. If I had known the secrets of my family in the morning, I would have asked the patriarch a question: Do you feel happy with this kind of life?
Zhang Min nodded and said, "If the tulip loses the protection of feng shui luck, why does it stand still?"
"Just rely on the cohesion of the family!" Ling'er said in a deep voice: "A family can last for thousands of years and endure. It doesn't rely on luck, let alone feng shui, but the uncomplaining dedication of the children of the family. It is they who use their own flesh and blood to forge the glory of the family, not luck to bless the prosperity of the family. ”
Ling'er's voice paused: "If someone reveals the secret here to the family members, the Tulip family will immediately fall apart, and the family children will lose the motivation to struggle." Because they believe that Feng Shui can control everything. A family that has lost its fighting spirit and faith will never produce a strong man, let alone stand out in the law of the jungle. ”
Ling'er said in a deep voice: "I don't need any feng shui luck. I'll take what I want. Whether it's gains or losses, whether it's victory or defeat, it's all in my strength. ”
Zhang Min looked at Ling'er for a long time before nodding and said, "I am very pleased with your decision! Once upon a time, it was because of my superstitious feng shui that I caused the tragedy of the Tulip family. I also hope that a member of the clan can say to me that I don't need feng shui luck when they face me, and even deliberately leave a mechanism outside, wanting them to know that feng shui does not represent everything. ”
"Unfortunately, I waited year after year. The tulip patriarch who came here had someone who died generously and voluntarily sacrificed. Some people are afraid to move forward and eventually become the ghosts of the dumb slaves, but none of them are willing to give up their feng shui luck. This is not only the sorrow of the Tulip family, but also my sorrow. ”
Zhang Min's sigh is overflowing, and the sadness of the tulip may only be able to be understood by herself.
I looked at Zhang Min and said, "Since you are superstitious about feng shui luck, why do you change your opinion?"
