Chapter 11: Five Elements Artifact
"Uncle Kidnapper, you go on, what is the truth?" Xue Congliang couldn't wait any longer, and asked anxiously.
"Actually, there is no secret, this Xue Zhuang, the only difference from other villages is that there is a legend that there is an artifact, it belongs to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so it can be compatible with the village, co-prosperity and symbiosis, and also invisibly, controlling the fate of the village, and also controlling the fate of every villager, so Xue Zhuang has more traditional Chinese medicine, of course, Chinese medicine also dies young, this is the only thing that we regret." Kidnapper Xue said helplessly.
"Uncle Abductor, are you sure, Xue Zhuang really has five artifacts? So do you know what these five artifacts are? Xue Congliang asked.
"Since I heard about this legend, I was young and vigorous, and I also asked the teacher, what are these five artifacts, and why are they related to the Five Elements Bagua? To be honest, this was more than a thousand years ago, and no one can tell. However, these five artifacts have been waiting for someone who is destined to do so, and his appearance will change all this, and at the same time, use these five artifacts to practice medicine and save the village from disaster. Abductor Xue said.
"Have you found these five treasures? Do they still exist? When Xue Congliang heard these five things, a burst of excitement surged in his heart, and he was surprised by the words of that old man Xue.
"I was young at the time, and I vowed to find the secret of Xue Zhuang, so under the guidance of my teacher, I began to search for these five artifacts. We all know that the south belongs to fire, the north belongs to water, the east belongs to wood, the west belongs to gold, and the middle direction belongs to earth, so we look for it according to the five elements set by the ancients. The kidnapper Xue bent down and picked up a stick, drew a circle on the ground, and then marked the four directions of east, west, north and south, and at the same time marked the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth on the top to facilitate Xue Congliang's understanding.
Although Xue Congliang knows some knowledge of the Five Elements Bagua, he can't do anything about the content of the esoteric point, Chinese culture is really magical and profound.
"In order to find out what these five artifacts are, I searched for a lot of books and walked a lot, but I didn't get much. No one will be able to find them. Abductor Xue said with some regret.
"Then did you just give up? Isn't that a pity? Xue Congliang asked.
"If you don't give up, you can't do it, at that time, the situation was complicated!" The words of the abductor Xue made Xue feel cold in his conscience.
"The people who are looking for the Five Elements Artifact of Xue Zhuang have been there since ancient times, so the struggle has been continuous. At that time, after I started to look for a while, one night, I also met people looking for artifacts, where are they, I don't know Lu Dao, I only know that the leading brother of these people is called Brother Wang, this Brother Wang, since he was a child, he has studied mystical arts, and now, he has made a fortune, since he heard the legend of Xue Zhuang, he hired people to start knocking around Xue Zhuang, looking for the whereabouts of these five artifacts......" Xue Xue looked at Gao Shan in the distance.
"Then how did they find it, and how did they contradict you?" Xue Congliang asked.
"The time to find the artifact is also required, that is, at midnight, which is what we call eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, at this time, in the twelve earthly branches of the heavenly stems, the cycle just begins, so the time point is very important. Of course, at this time, in the countryside, it is already the dead of night. When I went out in thick clothes and with a flashlight, I met this group of people deep in the mountains. Kidnapper Xue pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said.
"Did you fight? No one has found the baby, so why quarrel with each other? Xue Congliang was a little indignant.
"You don't know, these people are a group of robbers, and we had an argument at that time, just to fight for the right to find them. Of course, I was outnumbered, and in the middle of the dispute, I moved my hands and feet, and they were outnumbered, and broke my leg, and although I am much better now, I have been branded with the problem of crutches. Kidnapper Xue said with some regret.
"Those people are too ruthless, they are all from neighboring villages, why do they have to be so ruthless? If it were me, I would have to skin them. By the way, did they find the baby later? Xue Congliang continued to ask.
"Where can I find it, they have been looking for half a lifetime, almost anywhere in the mountains, but no one has found these five treasures, and now, they are the same age as me, they can't walk, and their hearts are not so wild. It is said that the son of the current leading eldest brother inherited his unfinished business, and is still leading people to continue to search, what a thief is not dead! ”
"Then do you know what his son's name is?" This person is the same generation as Xue Congliang, maybe Xue Congliang knows this person.
"I heard that his son's name, called Wang Jinmu, at a glance is the lack of gold and wood in the five elements, his Lao Tzu gave him a name, with gold and wood characters, but it is still difficult to change the situation that his family began to decline, nothing is immutable, he Lao Tzu did a lot of evil, the gold was robbed by his Lao Tzu, and his son's life is now much worse than before, although the name is added to the gold, it is difficult to change their fate. Now, the whole family is looking for the artifact as a chance to make a fortune, so they haven't given up. "The abductor Xue also has a lot of attention to people's names.
"And what about his son's character?" Xue Congliang asked.
"Isn't there a word now, called the rich second generation? Wang Jinmu is a typical rich second generation, he is very similar to his Lao Tzu, he is still a tyrant in the village, who is not pleasing to the eye, he has to find someone to fight, and he bullies others, but Wang Jinmu's brain is not as easy to use as his Lao Tzu's brain, and he has done a lot of stupid things, so although he is rich and powerful, he is always looked down upon. "Kidnapper Xue knows this person very well.
Speaking of this, Xue Congliang remembered his original intention of coming here, and first asked the kidnapper Xue, has he heard of a person named Xue Ye, who is this person? Did Abductor Xue ever see him?
"Uncle Abductor, have you ever heard of a person who claims to be Xue Ye? He had a white spot on his face. Xue Congliang asked.
"I haven't heard of the person you are talking about, but I heard from the older generation that someone has seen such a person in the village, very old, looking more than seventy years old, with a white spot on his face, saying that he is also surnamed Xue and lives in this village, but no one knows him?" The kidnapper Xue stroked a few strands of hair on his bald top with his fingers, recalling the original situation.
"Yes, yes, he looks like he's in his seventies, and he has a white spot on the right side of his face, and he looks like a patient!" Xue Congliang said with some excitement.
"I heard from the people who met that it was very similar to you, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just heard about it." The kidnapper Xue didn't have too deep an impression of this person, "What? Have you met this person? Who is this man? The kidnapper Xue was also full of curiosity about this person.
"That's what he said - don't tell anyone else, he claims to be the soul of Xue Zhuang, let me go find the five artifacts, and tell me at the same time......" Xue Congliang said here, stopped, he felt that he couldn't let the kidnapper Xue Zhilu Dao too much, after all, he was old, and it was useless to know too much about it, and it would only increase his troubles, so it was better not to say it.
"What do you tell you at the same time?" Abductor Xue also asked expectantly.
"Tell me, let me come to you, tell me that you know a lot of secrets, so I'll come to you and listen to you tell you the story of the past." Xue Congliang successfully played a round, and Xue Zhuang faced the problem of disaster, so it was better not to say it. Otherwise, once this matter spreads, the whole village will be in chaos, and people will not have the heart to live anymore.
After all, Xuezhuang is the place where people live, and if even their homes are abandoned, it is still a question of where the people of Xuezhuang will go. What's more, if the news spreads, won't there be more people who come to look for the treasure? The people of the three sects and the nine streams will all appear in the village, and Xue Zhuang will face the risk of never having peace.
"I know only a little bit about Lu Dao, if you want to know more about Lu Dao's secrets, you need to ask him, if you need my help with anything, just ask me......" The abductor Xue picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea.
"Does anyone know more about the Tao of the Devil?" Xue Congliang's eyes widened.
