Chapter 6: The Secret of the Gourd Bottle

Cen Wenhan looked at Uncle Qiao in confusion, only to see him clutching the pair of gourd bottles he had just changed with both hands, his face was full of excitement, "Is there anything special about this pair of gourd bottles?" ”

Uncle Qiao pulled Cen Wenhan into the courtyard and sat down, "Does San'er know what this gourd bottle is for?" ”

"It's for something!"

"This is a treasure vase used by Taoists to hold ghosts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Oh! Uncle wants to use it to catch ghosts! ”

"Catch you big-headed ghost, when will uncle catch ghosts again." Uncle Qiao didn't expect this kid to be so stupid at this time.

"Tell me, uncle! I didn't know these things when I was young. "Pretending to be cute is sometimes the best way to do it.

Uncle Qiao was softened by this kid, so he told Cen Wenhan a story......

Three hundred years ago, there was a Taoist priest on the rivers and lakes, this Taoist priest called himself Tie Xuan, at the beginning he was just a liar who walked the rivers and lakes, and lived by telling fortunes for others to drive away ghosts, but then I don't know why, he suddenly had a stunt, and he was invincible all over the world, but this person was greedy for money and lustful, and became a pest on the rivers and lakes, and finally was eradicated by the people on the rivers and lakes, but his kung fu became the secret of martial arts, no one knew where his kung fu came from, so some people in the rivers and lakes collected the things in front of him to study, I want to know the origin of his kung fu, but in the end, it all ended in vain.

The place where Tie Xuan has been, the place where he has lived and the things he has used have become clues for martial arts people to find, and the kung fu pays off, and finally someone found out from Tie Xuan's killing methods and the characteristics of kung fu, his kung fu should be the Taoist Xuanmen internal strength "Xuanyin technique", but this internal skill has long been lost, no one knows the whereabouts, since Tie Xuanhui this kung fu means that this internal skill still exists in this world, it is estimated that he hid it.

With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer relics left by Tie Xuan, but the "Xuanyin Technique" has never been found, and finally there is a pair of gourd bottles still in the world, so many people estimate that the secret of the "Xuanyin Technique" should be in this pair of gourd bottles, but the gourd bottle has disappeared in the competition of many martial arts people.

After listening to Uncle Qiao's story, Cen Wenhan asked, "How does Uncle know that the gourd bottle in your hand belongs to that Tiexuan Daoist?" ”

Uncle Qiao pointed to a picture on the bottle that was a bit similar to the Taoist Bagua diagram but not quite the same and said, "That's it." ”

"What is this diagram?"

"This is the Heluo gossip map."

At this time, Cen Wenhan remembered that the so-called Heluo gossip map came from Hetu Luoshu, and he took a bottle from Uncle Qiao's hand and took it into his hand to check it carefully. This bottle has nothing but Heluotu on the bottle, and the bottle seems to be iron and non-iron, he looked up and down this bottle for a long time and couldn't see any fame, Uncle Qiao also took another bottle to look through, but he couldn't see any secrets here, the two of them took this bottle and looked at it for a day and didn't see anything famous. It was dark, and Uncle Qiao didn't have the patience to find out the secret of this bottle, so he handed over the two bottles to Cen Wenhan and went back to sleep, leaving Cen Wenhan alone in the courtyard to think.

In the next few days, Cen Wenhan held the pair of bottles and thought, Uncle Qiao obviously lost interest in this, only Cen Wenhan's lonely figure and black dog were left in the yard to accompany him, the weather was getting colder, and the fog in the mountains began to thicken, when Cen Wenhan picked up the pair of bottles that day, he found that he had dirt on his hands, at this time Cen Wenhan had an idea, he picked up the gourd bottle and wiped it carefully, but there was nothing on the bottle, it seemed that he was empty and happy.

Uncle Qiao saw that he was addicted to this pair of bottles every day, and felt that this was not a solution, but he couldn't think of any good way to divert this kid's interest in this pair of bottles. At noon that day, Uncle Qiao and Cen Wenhan were eating in the courtyard, because his mind was on the pair of bottles during this time, so the dishes he washed were not very clean, and the grease on the bowls was stained on the food, Uncle Qiao was anxious in his eyes, but Cen Wenhan looked at the grease on the bowl and suddenly understood something, he ran to pick up the pair of treasure-like gourd bottles and threw them into the water.

Uncle Qiao got up and wanted to fish the gourd bottle out of the water, but when he got closer, the water in the water tank had changed color, and he knew that this kid must have seen something, so he didn't do it anymore, just stood quietly to the side to see what Cen Wenhan was going to do next. Soon after, Cen Wenhan fished out the gourd bottle from the water tank, he found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the bottle, and kept stirring the cloth in the bottle with a stick.

Soon Cen Wenhan pulled the cloth out of the bottle, and then he took the mouth of the bottle to the sun to look at it, and sure enough, some words appeared in front of his eyes in the bottle, "Uncle, look at this." Cen Wenhan excitedly handed the bottle to Uncle Qiao.

Uncle Qiao looked carefully at the bottle, and sure enough, there were some zigzag lines inside, "What's inside?" ”

"It's engraved in gold."

"What is Jin Wen?"

"The inscription engraved on bronze during the Shang and Zhou dynasties is the golden inscription." Cen Wenhan's book was not read in vain.

"You know?"

"Yes, I have read "Shuowen Jie Zi", and what is written on it is to explain the meaning of these words."

Uncle Qiao looked at the words in the bottle and sighed: "But the words are in the bottle, is it difficult for us to break the bottle to read these words?" ”

"......" Cen Wenhan was speechless for a while, Uncle Qiao was reasonable, breaking the bottle would damage the words in the bottle, Tie Xuan must have used some method to read these words, but what method did he use?

Uncle Qiao glanced at him and said, "Let's eat first, there will always be a way." ”

During this time, Cen Wenhan didn't know the taste again, no one would be willing to put such a precious bottle in the water to wash it if others hadn't discovered the secret in this bottle before, so he missed the opportunity to discover the secret in the bottle, and Cen Wenhan didn't know how to throw the bottle into the water to let him get the secret. Now the words in this bottle are like a magic spell to the bottom of Cen Wenhan's heart, he holds these two bottles in a daze every day, the big black dog sees him holding the bottle in a daze every day, and it also squats behind Cen Wenhan every day and does not leave, this day the black dog sprinkled a big bubble of urine behind Cen Wenhan, Cen Wenhan frowned and wanted to scold it after seeing it, but he stopped again, and a way rose from the bottom of his heart.

Cen Wenhan took a piece of paper, rolled the paper and stuffed it into the bottle, and then filled the bottle with beans, when the beans were stuffed into the bottle, the paper was close to the inner wall of the bottle, and then he used ink to dip the cloth into the bottle and stuff it into the bottle to stir it, and the words were printed on the paper.

Uncle Qiao looked at the words on the paper, his eyes darkened, and Cen Wenhan smiled: "I'll read it to Uncle, the text here is called 'Acquired Xuanyin Technique'." ”

"It seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, Tie Xuan's kung fu is this 'acquired Xuanyin technique', it seems that our two masters have really got a treasure." Uncle Qiao's tone was obviously excited.

In the next few years, Cen Wenhan and Uncle Qiao learned this kung fu of Tie Xuan dominating the rivers and lakes in the mountains, but a year later, Uncle Qiao found that he couldn't keep up with Cen Wenhan's progress at all, he studied the kung fu in the treasure bottle very hard, and understanding the words in the secret book was like listening to the book of heaven, and Cen Wenhan seemed to understand these at a glance, he couldn't help but sigh sadly, he was really old.

Time passed unconsciously, it was five years in a flash, Uncle Qiao saw some marks in the mountains, he was shocked, he saw that Cen Wenhan had grown up, and he also had a little comfort in his heart, this day he said to Cen Wenhan: "San'er has been with me for six years, and now that you have grown up, I think you should also go to the rivers and lakes for a walk, I am too small here to trap you here." ”

"Is Uncle going to drive me away?"

"I'm not driving you away, you're so old, go and have a good time on the rivers and lakes by yourself, I'm your home here, you can come back to see me at any time."

A few days later, Cen Wenhan kowtowed to Uncle Qiao a few times and left, the chicks are always going to leave the nest, and now is the time for him to spread his wings and fly high.
