I just wanted to get a closer look at why the carriage can walk on water, but I really didn't think about getting into the water to get a closer look.

Before I entered the water, I saw countless white skeletons floating up from the water to support the four carriages, and when the carriages left, they scattered and then scattered in all directions, and the scattered human skulls were coming in my direction, raising their heads one by one and opening their mouths wide as if they were going to eat me alive.

When I entered the water, the biting chill spread all over my body, and I felt someone pull me on my feet, someone on my collar, and all kinds of unknown objects on my body were biting me, and I was completely unconscious after a while......

……

I don't know how long it has been, but when I regained my senses, the first thing I felt was the warm feeling coming from the side of my body.

I subconsciously turned over and wanted to get closer to a warm place, but I was only halfway through the movement, and I was forced to turn back.

My movement was blocked, and I suddenly came to my senses.

By the way, I was just pulled into the river, so where am I now, and who held me down?

Startled, I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked around, the first thing that caught my eye was a blazing bonfire, and then I turned my head to see a thin and withered bald old monk sitting on the other side of my body.

"Boy, you're awake. Come, have a sip of wine, warm up. ”

"Huh?"

As the old monk spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over an antique wine gourd, but how dare I take the things given by strangers.

"Who are you and where are you?"

"The old man's law is ten directions. As for where this is, you know better than I do. ”

"Shifang, you just dragged me into the water?"

"Yes, it's me, but I can't say it was just now, I have to say it was yesterday. ”

"What do you mean yesterday?"

"You've had a dozen Soul Eaters bite you, and you've got a little bit of a wound on your spirit, so of course you have to rest. It's been almost a day since I pulled you into the water. Come, have a drink. Slowly. Rest assured, this wine is not poisonous. Even if it's poisonous, it won't poison you. ”

As the monk of the Ten Directions spoke, he handed the wine gourd to me again.

I hesitated. In the end, I took it. No way. I was a little thirsty indeed.

Unscrewing the lid of the wine gourd, I carefully took a small sip and knew it was wine. So I'm mentally prepared to endure that spicy feeling.

But who knows, as soon as the gourd is in the mouth, the first thing I tasted was a kind of sweetness, and I couldn't help but leave the wine in my mouth to taste it, but I didn't think about it, and the spicy question instantly came to my heart, and I was busy swallowing it.

"Ahem...... What kind of wine is this?"

"I don't know what the good wine is called, which has been stored for thousands of years. ”

"Thousands of years?"

"Yes, it is said that the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu also drank it. Okay, let's not talk about the wine, let's talk about you. Boy, if I'm not mistaken, your surname is Yan, isn't it? ”

"Yes. ”

"That's right, I've been waiting for you kid for ten years. ”

"Ten years?" I couldn't help but repeat a sentence when I heard the words of the monk of the ten directions, and then the thing that Granny Zhang said about "the monks of the ten directions and other destined people" came to mind.

Could it be that this old monk is waiting for me?

I wondered in my heart, I opened my mouth to ask, but before I could say it, the monk of the ten directions spoke first: "Yan boy, I want a chessboard and a successor, can you help me get it?"

"Ah......h Wait, wait, my mind is a little messy right now, you let me slow down. Master of the Ten Directions, can you tell me why you dragged me into the water before you talk about anything else?"

"I pulled you into the water because I was afraid that you would run away, I have been waiting for you for ten years. ”

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"Wait until you help me find something and someone. ”

"No, I mean why are you waiting for me?"

"Because when I wait until you, I can get what I want and people through you. ”

"Cao, I mean, how do you know you can wait for me here?"

"Because the things and people I'm looking for are here, and if you can help me find them, you'll be here. ”

"I ......"

I want to scold, this old monk said that is the same meaning, it feels like playing with me.

"Ahem, Master, let me ask, who told you I could help you get what you want?"

"The Buddha said. ”

"What did the Buddha tell you?"

"The Buddha said, don't say it. ”

"Don't say your uncle, old monk, what do you want?"

"I want you to do me a favor. ”

"What for?"

"Help me find a chess deck, a successor. ”

“……”

I was completely speechless, just now I thought that this old monk was quite normal, but how to talk about it became like a paranoid neurosis.

I guess this topic can't be continued, so I'll ask something else.

"Ahem, old monk, you want me to help. In the spirit of helping others, let me help you too. However, the problem is that this is the first time we meet, and I don't even know that you are a good person or a bad person, so how can I help you. Even if you're a good person, you're going to give me a reason to help you. ”

"Well, let me tell you a story. ”

"You say. ”

Legend has it that in ancient times, King Yu established the Xia Dynasty and unified Kyushu, and ordered people to smelt the bronze ware of Kyushu Jiumu to produce King Yu Jiuding, in order to show the unification of Kyushu. Since then, there has been a saying that those who get Jiuding win the world. Later, after the Shang Tang annihilation of Xia, the defeat of King Wu, the princes competing for hegemony, and the Qin Dynasty unifying the world, this Jiuding has been kept in the royal capital of the rulers.

But at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu led his troops to capture the Qin capital Xianyang, and after burning the Xianyang Palace in the Qin capital, the whereabouts of Yuwang Jiuding were unknown. Some say that Jiuding was destroyed along with that fire. Some people also say that Jiuding was taken away by Xiang Yu. Some people even say that when the Afang Palace was on fire, a Qin general fled with Jiuding. As a result, Jiuding was scattered and all his whereabouts were unknown. In fact, none of these statements are true.

It was Liu Bang who took away Yuwang Jiuding.

Liu Bang led his troops into Xianyang first, and after finding Jiuding, he sent his soldiers to divide into nine roads to secretly transport Jiuding away. Later, after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he wanted to get Jiuding to show that the world was his own, but he found that Jiuding had been taken away by Liu Bang, and in a fit of anger, he burned Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

What the ancients said is not wrong, if it is really the one who wins Jiuding to win the world, Liu Bang really defeated Xiang Yu to occupy the world later. Liu Bang, who deeply understood the importance of Yuwang Jiuding, made an important decision at the beginning of his reign in order to prevent his Han family from falling into the hands of others. That is to disperse Jiuding. Hide it.

As long as the Yuwang Jiuding is scattered and hidden in a place where no one knows, then no one will ever gather Jiuding to threaten the Han family.

Liu Bang really did this, and everyone who later knew Jiuding's whereabouts was gradually killed. Since then, the whereabouts of Yuwang Jiuding have been completely unknown.

But it's a pity. Liu Bang did a lot of calculations, but he still didn't calculate that the situation had changed. The world belongs to the people, not the small Jiuding, and the Han Dynasty was eventually drowned in the long river of history.

Since then. Yuwang Jiuding has become a symbol of the wisdom of the ancients, many people want to find Jiuding, not to win the world, but to admire the wisdom of the ancients. It is a privilege that my ancestors once found one of the nine tripods. According to the words handed down by my ancestors, the king of Yu is more than one zhang high, weighs like a thousand jun, the body is like a mountain, and the tripod inherits the river, which is a priceless treasure.

Something so important should not be found, nor should it be disturbed by the mundane world. Therefore, with the help of the underground palace where Yu Wang Ding was buried built by his predecessors, the ancestors built a position based on the principle that Chu and Han fought for hegemony and grabbed the world, and built a position according to the chess game mode.

The establishment of the organ position is the success of guarding Yu Wangding. The Ancestor left the ground, intending to destroy a set of simulated chessboard mechanisms designed in advance when he established this mechanism, so that the secrets of this place would disappear from the surface of the people. But it happened that at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols joined forces to destroy Jin, and the ancestors died on the battlefield, and the whereabouts of the so-called organ position array chessboard are unknown.

My ancestor died on the battlefield, without resentment or resentment, only one thing lingered on, that is, I failed to destroy the chessboard, so I have survived to this day, in order to fulfill the ancestor's last wish, find the chessboard and destroy it.

It doesn't matter if I'm a good person or not, it just depends on whether you're willing to help Lao Wei fulfill his life's ambition. ”

When the monk of the ten directions said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at me quietly.

I didn't feel anything about his gaze, because I was already deeply absorbed in the contemplation of the story he was telling.

According to the monk of the Ten Directions, the thing guarded here must be one of the nine tripods of King Yu, which happens to correspond to the treasure weapon mentioned by Mr. Li. In addition, this underground palace has been around for a long time, but the chessboard formation was established later, and the chess board I used in class should have been made by the ancestors of the monks of the Ten Directions.

But what I can't figure out is who the ancestor of this monk of the Ten Directions is, who can create such a magical formation. Living people come in only with souls, and the setting is refreshed at a fixed time every day, and the terracotta warriors are made like living people, and they happen to be set off with other things in the dungeon.

Those who can do all this are simply not ordinary people.

What did he just say, saying that the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols joined forces to destroy the Jin, and his ancestors died on the battlefield, which means that his ancestors were Jin?

"Uh, Master of the Ten Directions, can I ask, who is your ancestor?"

"The ancestors have the surname Wanyan, the Dajin royal family. ”

"It's really a golden man! How could a golden man create such a miraculous thing?"

"Why can't the Jin people, my Jurchen clan and your Song Han people can compete for the world, and naturally they can also pass through the present and Bogu. The monk of the Ten Directions retorted to me with a glare, but then he let out a sigh and sighed: "Speaking of which, although the chess mechanism formation was built by my ancestor, the handwriting left by the ancestor never said that the mechanism here can be varied, and it feels like someone has transformed it later." There are also the Soul Eater Snake, the Bone Perching Bird, and the Corpse Miasma Mushroom, which the Ancestors never mentioned. If it weren't for the right place, I suspect I'd have found the wrong place.

Of course, this just proves that someone came here later and cracked the mechanism here, no matter who did it, he must have been the one who got the chess board. Therefore, I have to find this person and return it to its original owner, so that I can fulfill the last wish of my ancestors. ”

"Then why are you looking for me?"

"Because you are my destined person, when I first met you ten years ago, I already proved that you and I are destined. ”

"Ten years ago? We met ten years ago?"

"Yes, at a transcendent ceremony. ”

"Transcendence?"

My heart moved, and suddenly there was a sound of the group of unobtrusive monks I met at the funeral of the village chief's grandfather ten years ago, could it be that this Shifang is one of those people?

Yes, it must be.

"I said, Master of the Ten Directions, even if we met ten years ago, how could you recognize me, who told you that I was your destined person?"

"The Buddha told me. The Buddha said that if you want to fulfill your long-cherished wishes, you must use your hands. ”

"Damn, it's Buddha again. ”

I scolded in a low voice, knowing that if I continued to ask, it was estimated that it would be the same as just now, so that this old monk would go around and miss the point. It feels like he's sick intermittently, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not the horse's mouth when he talks.

Forget it, it's all about this, I don't want to hide it, just find out with him.

"Master Shifang, I do know where the chess board you are talking about. ”

"Really, it seems that the Buddha did not lie to me!"

"Wait, don't get excited. I know where it is, it doesn't mean that I can make the decision to give you that chessboard, even if I can call the shots, I have to think about it. That chessboard is a work of art, and I don't want you to destroy it, even if you're the master. In this way, I will help you ask, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't blame me. ”

"This ......"

"Alright, that's the end of the chessboard. Tell me who you're looking for, it can't be me, right?"

I think with my toes that the so-called heir of this old monk is me, otherwise their gang of people who did things ten years ago wouldn't even make money after meeting me.

I was ready to say no in my heart, but who knew that the other party shook his head and said softly, "It's not you." ”

"Not me?

"I escaped into the empty gate in ten directions, and the heirs to be collected are naturally also from the Buddhist sect. You obviously don't know the teachings of Buddhism, and besides, if you weren't able to get you under the door ten years ago, it proves that you and I don't have a chance. So, I need you to help me find a Buddhist disciple. ”

"Disciple of Buddhism, isn't there one outside?"

"No, just look for it here. ”

"Are you saying that in this underground palace, there are no monks here...... Hey, there's got one!"

A figure suddenly appeared in my mind, didn't Shi Dalong Shi Fat Man just become a monk, could it be that the apprentice this old monk is looking for is a fat man?

As soon as I thought of this, I opened my mouth to ask carefully, and it was at this moment that a familiar cry suddenly came from afar.

"Lao Yan, where are you, are you still alive?"

Ah, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. (To be continued.) )
