Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Spoils Meeting

Putting aside the problem of making money for the time being, the treasure appreciation conference or the spoils sharing conference is still going on, and the fourth artifact is a small copper box with a lock on it, not the complex password lock in the Qingming Cave, but an ordinary fish lock for ordinary households.

The ancients believed that fish did not look at night, and even when they sleek, they kept their eyes open, and it was best to keep vigil and watch the door. Therefore, from Zhumen to Chaimen, most of them use all kinds of fish types to make locks, and the difference only lies in the exquisite workmanship and durability.

Of course, this is difficult for He Wei, he didn't let Zuo Yan and Qingming do it, and with great interest, he found a slender iron tool and gently pounded it twice, and the fish lock jumped away with a snap. Just in case, the lid of the copper box was lifted by Qingming, and inside was an old book.

Take it out and put it flat on the table, and the entrance is a very simple painting, the winding river, the dense mountains, the layers of trees, faintly revealing a few eaves, the mountains are staggered, the paths are vertical and horizontal, but there is a bit of indescribable mystery.

In the upper right corner of the book, there are a few proverbs that poetry does not become poetry and music does not become a song: in a river and a lake, the flat land ascends to the heavenly palace. Leaning over to probe ten feet, the netherworld catches the golden dragon.

"This is ......" Zuo Yanzhang was puzzled and puzzled: "Even people who don't know poetry and painting can see that the painting is like a child's graffiti, and the poem is like a naughty child's babbling, as for such a solemn hidden in the shrine?" ”

He Wei stared at the book for a while, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "If what I expected, this should be a treasure map!" ”

Zuo Yanqi said: "Treasure map? He looked down again, but was still denied entry, "Where did you see that this book is from a treasure map?" ”

He Wei nodded the word golden dragon and said, "The dragon is in the nine heavens, when did it go down to the netherworld?" That's the flaw! Perhaps at the confluence of a certain river and a lake, there are high mountains towering into the clouds, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in the bottom of the mountains ten zhang deep. However, the clues obtained from this painting and a poem alone are limited, and there is no beginning or end, and it is basically impossible to deduce the specific direction. ”

Xu You's eyes were quite playful, and he said: "When it comes to the treasure of the clouds and mountains, no one can say whether it is really true, and there are too many so-called legends that are false and far-fetched. However, this treasure map can be treasured by the Heavenly Master, and it should have some authenticity! ”

"There is no mystery in the world that cannot be solved! I want to see what kind of amazing treasure the Heavenly Master Dao has been looking for for so many years and still haven't found it! ”

He Wei was still waiting to continue his research, Xu You casually threw the treasure map back into the box and covered it, and said: "Its wings, obsessed, rather than spending your mind on this illusory treasure map, it is better to do what is in front of you." As you said, you can't deduce the exact location from this diagram, so it's no different from waste paper. Windfall from the sky, those who are destined to get it, force it to bear the blame, wait patiently for the opportunity, maybe one day suddenly look up, you will see where the picture is? ”

Smart people are most afraid of drilling the tip of the horns, the more difficult, the more they feel eager to try, hard work, time, energy, money, slowly put into it, how to do it at first, but when you regret it, you want to give up and are unwilling, if you don't give up, you have to continue to fall into it, if you really get in the end, it's good, if you get nothing, the blow will completely destroy a person's mind.

Therefore, the best way is what Xu You said, ignore it, and let it be!

"Shichiro, I dare to conclude that this picture must be true, as long as we find a way to uncover the mystery, won't we solve the problem of usage overnight?"

Xu You smiled: "You...... Didn't you find you so money-obsessed before? As I said just now, money is not a problem, don't worry, I will find another way to make money in a few days, and it will not be lower than the income of papermaking! ”

"Okay!"

He Wei obviously has no intention of dying, his desire for money is very low, but his willingness to crack the treasure map is very strong. Xu You understands his mood very well, this time he broke the Qingming Cave, he didn't catch up, through the treasure map, he can have a trick with the Heavenly Master hundreds of years ago, it's better than nothing!

"Qingming, you keep this treasure map close to you, no one is allowed to look at it without my order!"

Qingming put it away, Zuo Yan held back a smile, and squinted at He Wei. He Wei rolled his eyes angrily, stretched out his hand and rubbed his open chest, fortunately, he often took a bath and did not rub out mud pills.

Xu You ignored him and picked up the fifth thing. This is a short sword, the whole body is like ink, without any carvings and lines, at first glance, it is unremarkable. But if you look closely, you will find that your eyes are attracted by the ink, as if you can devour all the bright monsters, making people feel like a chicken.

"Huh!" He Wei frowned and said, "Why did I seem to be distracted just now......

Xu You said in a condensed voice: "When I was in the cave, I glanced into the ghost well, which was similar to what you felt just now. It's just that the power of the ghost well is far greater than this sword, and I almost planted it in it. ”

"What does Shichiro mean?"

"Either the inner wall of the ghost well is made of the same thing as this sword, or this sword has been suspended in the ghost well for many years, and it has been contaminated with the ghost qi inside!"

The four people here are all resolute-minded people, and Qingming and Zuo Yan are even more profound, even if they are slightly affected, they are very short-lived. But if the two of them fight, at the moment of life and death, there is this short moment of loss, and they will immediately go down to the corpse sword.

"Qingming likes to use short daggers, this sword is the best for you!"

Xu You handed the sword to Qingming, and after Qingming took it, he gently stroked the sword body, and his eyes became gentle. He has lost the desires and emotions between men and women, and naturally he will no longer be accompanied by the person he loves, but when he holds this sword, he is like a mandarin duck and a phoenix, and it is natural!

I don't know if it's an illusion, the ink color of the sword body instantly became richer, and it stood there clearly, but it made people feel that they couldn't touch it and couldn't see through it, looming, and it seemed to be nothing.

Zuo Yan suddenly said: "Amazing! ”

Zuo Yan has entered the fourth grade, even if he is not much compared with Du Mingyu back then, he can be said to be amazing, it is really powerful.

Qingming put the sword into his sleeve, bowed down and said, "Xie Langjun gives the sword!" ”

Xu You's martial arts were lost, his eyes were still there, and he stroked his palms and praised: "Like that treasure map, such an artifact can be obtained by those who are destined." The sword is in the palm of the hand, like a tiger with wings, Qingming, it is better to give it a name. ”

Qingming said without thinking: "Candle Dragon! The first time I saw it, I thought of the name. ”

"Good! When the candle dragon opens its eyes, the world is bright, and the candle dragon closes its eyes, and it is dark in all directions. Xu You smiled and said, "No matter what the Heavenly Master Dao calls it, from today onwards, it will be called the Candle Dragon Sword!" ”

Zuo Yan was cautious after all, and said: "It's better for this sword to show up less, it will be unfavorable for us to be discovered by the Heavenly Master Dao......"

Xu You shook his head and said, "I may have guessed wrong!" ”

He Wei frowned and said, "Where is Qilang wrong?" ”

"At the beginning of the cave, I told Qingming that it was Sun Guan who built the Nine Shrines, cast the statues of the gods and lords of the previous Heavenly Masters, locked the relics in the niche cabinet, and set up a sinister mechanism with iron chains. Now that I think about it, it may not have been Sun Guan's doing! ”

"Why?"

"Actually, when I saw the treasure map, I was thinking, Sun Guan has the world in mind, and he is not a person who is obsessed with small things, so he will not dare to act rashly because this picture is a relic of the previous Heavenly Master. But in order to protect the prince, he would rather levy a tax on the twenty-four rulers and ruin his good reputation for decades, and did not take the treasure map to find the treasure, which is unreasonable. ”

"Qilang, don't forget, Wei Yuansi died thirty years ago, if Sun Guan built a shrine, it should also be thirty years ago, at that time, Heavenly Master Dao did not encounter the crisis of Prince Bao."

"Yes, but since the treasure map is in hand, even if you can't find the direction for a while, there is no reason to put it in the shrine again. What a wise man you are, and you regard money as dung, but just now you are still confused by the treasure, and the reason is that we are short of money now, and if we achieve great things in the future, we will need a lot of money. What about Sun Guan? The Heavenly Master Taoist has a great cause, but there are more places where he needs to use money, and he will never give up the huge benefits that the treasure map can bring......"

He Wei thought for a moment and said, "Sun Guan may have another copy?" ”

Xu You said in a deep voice: "There are endless mysteries hidden in the treasure map, every day I am afraid of missing any important clues in front of the original, the facsimile is a facsimile after all, it can't be exactly the same, Sun Guan is not a fool, he has no reason to do this......"

"So?"

"Therefore, I think the idea of this chain lock shrine should be done by the sixth generation of Heavenly Masters, and then from the seventh generation, I don't know what is hidden in the shrines of the previous five generations of Heavenly Masters, and this tradition has been continued."

This time, it was Zuo Yan's turn to ask, "Lang Jun, why is it the sixth generation?" ”

Xu You smiled: "This has to be explained by Qingming!" ”

Qingming took over and said: "The sixth generation of Heavenly Master Pei Qing, born in a high family, but voluntarily entered the Tao to practice, and later became a Heavenly Master, but who knew that he was assassinated to death in May, and the identity of the assassin is not known to outsiders. According to Lang Jun's guess, Pei Qing should have built the shrine and locked these treasures in it with his own hands, but he didn't have time to explain the details to the next Heavenly Master. Because Pei Qing was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, it was not yet time to choose a successor, but he suddenly died violently, leaving no words. Why this speculation? Because the seventh-generation Heavenly Master Chen Long killed Pei Qing's three junior disciples and five personal disciples in the opposition of many people, and stepped on a bloody road to ascend the glass throne of the Heavenly Master Palace - this is also the bloodiest change of dynasty in the four hundred years of the Heavenly Master Dao. ”

He has followed Chen Chan for many years, and Chen Chan has made a sacrificial wine for Nanyu Prefecture under the pseudonym Cao Gu, and his ancestors seem to be a little related to Chen Long, so he knows a lot about this hidden situation. Xu You had heard him mention it when he was chatting before, and he would see the treasure map, so he began to think about the cause and effect, and strung together the fragmentary clues.

"Therefore, the Book of Nine Ding Dan, the Staff of the Thousand Witch Sect, the Heart Guarding Wooden Tablet, the Vermilion Crown, the Treasure Map, and this Candle Dragon Sword, Sun Guan should not know. But just in case, until the moment of life and death, Qingming, your candle dragon sword should not be shown. ”

Qingming nodded, in the past, his short dagger would never come out of his sleeves if he didn't meet a strong enemy, and now that he has been promoted to a small grandmaster, few people are qualified to let him use his sword.

The Candle Dragon Sword was handed over to him to hold, but it was actually no different from hiding in a secret room!

The sixth thing is strange, it's a stone. If it's a gem, it's just an ordinary stone, but there's a word engraved on it: Hibiscus!

One stone and one word, it really depends on conjecture, it is estimated that you can write a novel of five million words, Xu You shrugged, put the stone aside, and went to see the seventh piece: Chen Long's "Ghost Eye Sutra".

Chen Long killed all his fellow disciples and won the position of Heavenly Master, and his cultivation was the best at that time, but what he was really powerful was not martial arts, but the art of observing people, and he wrote this "Ghost Eye Sutra" with his life's work. It's just that the "Ghost Eye Sutra" was gradually missing and erroneous in later circulation, and it was tampered with and repaired into the "Divine Aspect Sutra", which is famous in today's world. Zhu Fayan is praised by the world for his divine physiognomy and human skills, but in fact, compared with the real "Ghost Eye Sutra", his little tricks are far behind.

"Its wings, it's yours!"

Xu You threw the "Ghost Eye Sutra" in front of He Wei, he was disdainful, lying on his side and rubbing the mud, and said: "I have heard of this scripture a long time ago, saying that no one in the world can not know it, and he knows all the good and evil...... But people's hearts are like an abyss, and they are difficult to measure, and if you want to know all the scriptures, isn't it blowing the atmosphere? ”

Having said that, I still opened it and looked at it a few times, and suddenly with a bang, I turned over and sat up, spat on the palm of my hand, and then respectfully opened the title page. It reads: The key to the appearance of the face, the first is in the bones of God, the gods are prosperous, and the bones are clear.

Xu You sneered: "It's so fragrant! ”

When He Wei was immersed in the "Ghost Eye Sutra", Xu You and the others looked at the eighth thing, which was a secret book, written by the eighth generation Heavenly Master Ning Jiuzhou, which was also the only martial arts secret book in this harvest.

Xu You looked at it and smiled at Zuo Yan: "It's a pity that it's a sword technique, if it's a sword technique, it's just for you to understand!" ”

"Ning Jiuzhou is vulgar and uninhibited, leaving a lot of jokes. For example, after entering the Heavenly Master's Palace, he was not used to sitting on that glass seat, and often crossed his knees under His Highness, mingling with many disciples and Taoists, but he was also very popular. By the way, his name was Ning Universe at first, which means that the universe is big, and he is the only one, and later he was given the name Eight Dings by Chen Long, and one less Ding was to avoid the disaster of 'full loss'. But after Chen Long's death, Ning Bading thought the name was not good, and changed his name to Ning Jiuzhou, but he died suddenly three years later, and it was said that he had an emergency...... "Qingming's various treasures of the Heavenly Master's Tao are like a living dictionary."

This Ning Tianshi compared it with Hou Jingyou, the great general of the universe, Xu You deliberately glanced at He Wei and said, "So Chen Long's physiognomy is not so good, the personally selected Heavenly Master died violently in three years......"

He Wei didn't raise his head, and sneered: "Looking at physiognomy is not fortune telling, only look at the time of life, can you still look at the afterlife?" Chen Long changed his name to renew his life for Ning Jiuzhou, he spared no blessings for himself, even if he was a god, he couldn't do anything! ”

"Okay, good, you have always been unconvinced, but this time you have a lot of respect for Chen Long, it seems that the "Ghost Eye Sutra" is not in vain!"

"Shichiro is interested? I'll teach you! ”

Xu You refused with a smile: "It's too much, I'm not interested in Ning Kyushu's experience!" Out of the corner of his eye as he spoke, he saw Zuo Yan take the cheatbook and quipped, "What? Wind Tiger, are you going to slap me in the face? I just told him that it was too late, so did you abandon your swordsmanship and come to study swordsmanship? ”

"I have created the five-style sword technique since now, and I feel the bottleneck, and Ning Jiuzhou's sword technique is also taking a fierce and sharp path, maybe it will help, it doesn't hurt to take a look!"

Qingming Dao: "The sword method and the sword method are all laws, and there is no difference." If Feng Hu Langjun can enter the sword method with the sword intent, and then enter the sword method with the sword intent, and finally the sword merges, no matter whether it is a sword or a sword, it must be a step further! ”

Zuo Yanhu's eyes were ejaculating, and his mind seemed to have an understanding, so he got up and saluted, and said solemnly: "Thank you!" ”

Qingming respectfully returned the salute.

"Next, it's the Lingbao Five Rune Sutra!"

Xu You sat quietly, his eyes like water without waves. There is a hidden Dao Heart Mystery Dafa in the scriptures, and his life, future, and future life all depend on the secret of the Dao Heart Mystery to go on.

It's just that at this moment, there is no excitement as imagined, but incomparably plain and calm.

Life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky,

From Yangzhou to Yizhou, and then from Yizhou to Yangzhou, he has done his best, if it doesn't work, then there is no regret!

Exhaled lightly, his fingers reaching for the first page of the scriptures.

I don't know when, He Wei, Zuo Yan and Qingming all stopped their own things and stared at Xu You's fingers, as if that was the most cherished thing in this world.

Dao Heart Xuanwei, what is it!
