Chapter 21: The Continuation of the Game (4)
The figure that the Holy Emperor wants? The jade that Nanhua Zhangjiao wants?
Chongsheng didn't make a sound, silently waiting for Shu Hanzhang to explain.
"Old ghost, tell this picture to my brother." Shu Hanzhang said and opened the stack of atlases.
"I don't know if this young man has heard of "The Complete Map of Nangong Emperor"?" The rootless Taoist asked as he sipped tea.
"The Complete Map of the Emperor of Nangong?" Chongsheng stood up excitedly.
"Exactly, this atlas is the legendary "Nangong Huangyu Complete Map". The Holy Emperor once sent secret agents from the Imperial Fan to search everywhere for things that could not be found. The Rootless Daoist said as he spread out the album page by page.
"It's a departure from the country." The Rootless Daoist said, pointing to one of the pages.
"There is such a wonderful map in the world! This river, this mountain, this road. Chong Sheng couldn't help but touch the map, every place on this map was extremely familiar to him, and every place had left his footprints. Looking at the map, he felt as if he had returned to his homeland.
"This is Junguo, Tianguo, Qingguo, Liguo......" The rootless Taoist turned the page quickly, explaining while turning.
"This map is vivid, and the mountains and rivers are like in front of you. Just said that the painting left the country is exactly the same as the one in the minds of the younger generation, and even more extensive than the younger generation's knowledge. ”
"This is the Lost Lands, the Unowned Wasteland. Originally, there was no such page on the "Complete Map of Nangong Emperor". Ten years ago, an old man added this page to the catalogue. ”
"This is the Borderlands?" Chongsheng is now more interested in the Lost Wasteland than in leaving the country.
"Do you know the name of this Borderlands before?" Seeing that Chongsheng was interested in the Borderlands, the Rootless Daoist stopped turning the page.
"The Lost Wasteland?"
"No, the Battlefield of the Gods. Legend has it that in extremely ancient times, the place where we are located is not called Middle-earth, but the Sacred Law Continent. In those days, gods and humans lived together, and then there was a great war, and all the gods died. ”
"What the predecessors said is the stone tablet in the name of the Lost Wasteland?"
"Exactly. Then do you know who painted this "Nangong Emperor's Complete Map"? ”
"Nangong Hugh?"
"Yes." The Rootless Dao Leader smiled and nodded, "Then do you know why the Holy Emperor has a soft spot for this diagram?" ”
"With this map, you can crisscross the continent, march and arrange, and dominate the world." Chongsheng was so excited that he blurted out what he thought in his heart without thinking.
"Young man, do you think that there is no unity in the current pilgrimage? Or do you feel that the pilgrimage needs to be replaced? "The Rootless Dao Master was extremely intelligent, and he immediately heard what he was thinking from Chongsheng's words.
"No, senior, junior is wrong." Chongsheng broke out in a cold sweat after listening to the words of the rootless Taoist.
"The contemporary Holy Emperor does not have the ambition of a young man, he covets this picture just for the sake of immortality. Immortality is an ethereal dream for us, but in the age of God, immortality is not impossible. ”
"Seniors are saying that the Holy Emperor wants to find clues to the past Ragnarok Great War from the Lost Wasteland, and then find the method of immortality?"
"The child can be taught. The terrain of the Lost Wasteland is so complex, there are many areas that we don't know about, so with this map you can explore the entire Lost Wasteland. ”
"If the terrain of the Lost Wasteland is complex and it is an unknown region, then why was Nangong Xiu able to draw this complete map of the emperor? Also, I see that this atlas is exquisite and abnormal, could it be that Nangong Xiu drew it in the sky? ”
"Exactly. Nangong Xiu is not our person, he did draw this picture in the sky. Originally, this atlas was for Tang Yi's mutiny, for his father-in-law Nangong to march into battle. Later, the Tang State was defeated, Nangong Sheng committed suicide, and this picture died with it. The Holy Emperor sent spies to search for the Holy Dynasty but could not, but was accidentally obtained by an old man of mine. ”
Not one of ours? What does this mean? Could it be that Nangong Xiu is an immortal? Listening to the words of the Rootless Daoist, Chongsheng was full of doubts, but he did not interrupt the Rootless Daoist's words, but continued to listen carefully.
"The first half of this map is a map of the entire continent, and the second half is the customs and customs of various places, or political and military affairs. Look at ...... young man," said the Genless Chief, turning to the last few pages of the album.
"This is the general situation of the twenty cities in the Lost Wasteland, and this is the specific military situation of the five strong cities in the Lost Wasteland."
"It's really a treasure, an absolute treasure." The more Chongsheng looked at it, the more excited he became.
"Since it's a treasure, then you can take it." The rootless Taoist closed the "Nangong Emperor's Opinion" and gently pushed it in front of Chongsheng.
"Seniors, such a treasure, how dare the younger generations covet it? The younger generation must not want it. Although this map of the emperor is very important to Chongsheng, Chongsheng understands the truth of no merit, so he resolutely refuses.
"Do you really think that I gave it to you because the gambler wanted to pay you interest? This is the property of my deceased, and I was entrusted by his deceased to give it to you. The rootless Taoist said and glanced at Shu Hanzhang, Shu Hanzhang smiled awkwardly: "Old ghost, can't you cooperate with me, so that I can also pretend to be magnificent?" ”
Entrusted by the deceased? Could it be Mr. Hara? Puzzled, Chongsheng asked: "Dare to ask your predecessors, who is entrusted by you?" ”
"You've been to a place called Jiegan City, right? My old man is the great master of Jiegan City, and he has written to me to give you this diagram, because you have passed his three trials. ”
It turned out to be the big boss of the seventy-two villages of Lianyun in Jiegan City. Chongsheng thought about it, and only a person with great powers like him could have this picture.
"What about this jade?"
"This jade is not given to you by the so-called old man of the old ghost, this is the 20,000 taels that Lao Tzu paid back to you! Old ghost, you have to prove it for me. Shu Hanzhang said anxiously.
"This jade is indeed a gambler's. I didn't know anything except that I knew that this jade was definitely worth a lot of money and that Nanhua Lao'er wanted it very much. The Rootless Daoist looked at Shu Hanzhang's anxious appearance and laughed.
"There are also know-it-all old ghosts in this world, you don't know?" Shu Hanzhang said triumphantly: "This jade was stolen by me from the golden throne of the Saint Emperor Lao'er Lingxiao Pavilion Wanshou Palace!" ”
"Lingxiao Pavilion Longevity Palace?" Chongsheng was surprised, the Lingxiao Pavilion Wanshou Hall was the living place of the Holy Emperor, how tightly guarded the Lingxiao Pavilion Forbidden Palace was, it was not too much to say that even a mosquito could not fly in without being summoned.
"You don't believe it? That night, I was going to spend the night in the Lingxiao Pavilion Wanshou Hall, but the snoring of the Holy Emperor Lao'er was too loud, and I fiddled with his golden seat when I was bored, and accidentally found that the Holy Emperor Lao'er actually opened a hole in the buttocks of the golden seat, and it was this jade inside. He doesn't sit in a panic when he sits on weekdays. Shu Hanzhang shook his head and said, extremely proud.
"I believe it." Chongsheng remembered Shu Hanzhang's sixteen remnants before, and a person who was so clever that he was in his realm might not be difficult to enter and leave the forbidden court of the palace.
"I took the treasure of the Holy Emperor Lao'er and hid in the old nest for a month to find out the news. But the strange thing is that the Holy Emperor Lao'er did not track down, and he did not even see the shadow of a secret agent. What's even more strange is that as soon as I got out of the nest, Nanhua Lao'er's Fang Shi stared at me, I originally thought that Nanhua Lao'er was entrusted by the Holy Emperor, but I found that there was no movement in the imperial court, and after several temptations, I knew that Nanhua Lao'er wanted it himself. ”
"Since this jade is so precious, why did the predecessors take it to the casino to gamble?"
"You have to ask the old ghost, do you owe me a favor?" Shu Hanzhang said and snorted at the rootless Taoist.
"What debt do I owe you? It's not that you are playful and greedy, and you have fallen in love with Nanhua's passive sword. The Rootless Daoist complained, and then asked Chongsheng, "Young man, have you seen Sakura?" ”
"Yes." Chongsheng said, and the cold face of the Sakura Luo Fairy appeared in front of him.
"Is she going to win every gamble?"
"That's right! She didn't make thousands, but she won everything, and the younger generations couldn't understand it, is there really such a lucky person in the world? ”
"She's out of a thousand."
"No, seniors, the juniors are still confident at this point, all the gambling equipment in the Supreme Gambling House can be isolated from internal force, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to make a thousand."
"You can't see that it's normal, because Sakura's girl is not only a monk but also an alien, and her method of taking things from the air doesn't require any internal force, she relies on her mind."
"Inhuman? Thought? Chongsheng couldn't understand the words of the rootless Taoist for a while.
"Our Taoist Sect relies on talismans and spells to cast spells, while Fang Zong's spells rely on vitality, using vitality to attract the power of the five elements elements, the more powerful the spell, the more it consumes vitality, so Fang Shi cultivates his technique first to practice vitality. Nanhua's Passive Sword is the treasure of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, which can minimize the loss of vitality, and even if the vitality is insufficient, it can cast powerful spells. The reason why Nanhua handed over such a treasure to Sakura Luo is because Sakura Luo is not only a priest, but also an alien. ”
"So Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, what gambles must win, what strangers, Lao Tzu has to bet with her! Besides, the more Nanhua Lao Wang Ba wants this piece of jade, the more I have to tease him! Who called Nanhua Lao Wang Ba to give the old ghost a look at the old ghost at the Tianguo Daofang Conference! Right! Shu Hanzhang scolded in a hurry.
"Don't say it so righteously, your own greedy people's passive sword, biting other people's bait, has nothing to do with me." Before Shu Hanzhang finished speaking, the rootless Taoist ignored himself angrily.
"Senior, besides, didn't you cheat and didn't lose the jade to the Sakura Luo Fairy?" After chatting for a long time, Chongsheng probably understood Shu Hanzhang's old naughty character, so he also began to laugh at him.
"I bit the bait of Nanhua Wangba, didn't Nanhua Wangba bite my bait? If it weren't for that girl's ability to really make thousands, maybe I would have won the Passive Sword. Shu Hanzhang said unconvinced.
"However, gambler, if you can take out this piece of jade to pay off your debts today, I am impressed by you." The rootless Taoist stroked his beard and picked up the piece of jade, "This jade is the yang half of the yin and yang fish, so there should be a yin half in the world to oppose it." ”
"I have two principles when I walk the rivers and lakes, one is to only take things by skill, not to take them. 2. Never owe favors. I took this kid's money, and this kid also helped me gamble, so this jade should be given to him! Shu Hanzhang said as he snatched the jade from the Rootless Dao Chief's hand and handed it to Chongsheng.
"Senior, junior said, Fairy Qian Yingluo has already helped you pay it back, how dare the junior receive such a big gift again? Besides, what if the younger generation takes this jade and is targeted by the Nanhua Sect? The younger generation does not have the light skill of the predecessor. Chongsheng pushed but did not forget to ridicule Shu Hanzhang.
"Don't worry, Nanhua Lao Wang Ba can't catch Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu won't say that he will give you the jade when he dies." Shu Hanzhang pushed the jade to Chongsheng again.
"Even so, the juniors don't dare to take it, because the seniors don't owe the juniors." Chongsheng said and pushed the jade over again.
"You kid, Nanhua Wang Ba wants it, Lao Tzu doesn't give it, you don't want it, Lao Tzu wants you to take it! Lao Tzu doesn't love money, Lao Tzu steals money just to gamble! If you don't hold this jade today, you won't want to sleep peacefully for a night in the future. was targeted by Lao Tzu, and the Holy Emperor Lao Er had insomnia. After Shu Hanzhang finished speaking, he simply stuffed the jade into Chongsheng's hand.
Shu Hanzhang's words are by no means a joke. Chongsheng thought that Shu Hanzhang could actually sleep on the Lingxiao Pavilion Wanshou Palace, if he was really targeted, I was afraid that there would be no more peaceful days, so he put away the jade: "In this way, the younger generation is disrespectful." ”
"Young man, do you know why you were stolen by a gambler as soon as you entered the city?" Rootless Dao asked suddenly.
"Is this also arranged?"
"Of course not! You are dressed so proudly, and you have a bodyguard like Phoenix by your side, I can see that my hands are itchy, who will take you if you don't take you? Shu Hanzhang said and pointed to Kurong.
Since entering the pavilion, Ku Rong has not said a word, one comes, the rootless Taoist is indeed the predecessor of the rivers and lakes, and the dry Rong often heard the chivalry of the rootless Taoist when he died in the rivers and lakes, so he respected it from the bottom of his heart. Second, Ku Rong hated Shu Hanzhang's personality very much and disdained to deal with thieves.
"Then why can the seniors be sure that the juniors will definitely go into the water to save people?"
"This is also a gamble, I bet that you will save me, if not, I have ninety-nine ways to take your money." Shu Hanzhang said and smiled proudly.
"I also listened to the bragging of gamblers, and when I learned that you were a young man, you took Chifeng, so I was sure that you were the person the old man said." The Rootless Daoist said and turned around and smiled at Ku Rong: "The silver dragon and the red phoenix have disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, and I originally wanted to include you in the rivers and lakes, but I heard that you and the silver dragon are both from the military and are no longer from the rivers and lakes, so I left you behind." Chifeng, I wonder if the silver dragon is okay now? ”
"If you go back to your predecessors, my brother is dead." Ku Rong bowed his head slightly and said solemnly.
"It's a pity. It's a pity. The rootless Dao chief said with regret.
"Seniors, juniors dare to ask you, what kind of person is the master of Jiegan City?" Chongsheng took the jade and the full map of the Nangong Emperor, thinking of the mysterious master, if you want to understand the big master, asking the rootless Taoist is the best opportunity.
"The great master is a man of God, a man who no one can see through! Young man, didn't you meet him in Jiegan City? The Rootless Daoist sighed meaningfully, and then asked Chongsheng rhetorically.
"At that time, the big boss was not in Jiegan City, so the younger generation had no chance to meet him. Today's big boss has such a generous gift, he will meet in the future, and the younger generation must thank him. Chongsheng replied truthfully.
"That's right. Young man, what do you think is a king and what is a people? The long words of the rootless Dao suddenly changed, and Chongsheng was a little inexplicable, so he blurted out the words that the original teacher taught back then: "The people are noble and the king is light, the people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat." ”
After listening to Chongsheng's words, the squinting eyes of the Rootless Daoist who seemed to be unable to open opened opened: "If I hadn't heard this for the second time, I would never have believed that there would be nobles in the world who thought like this." His Royal Highness, the second prince of the country, your answer is exactly the same as the words of the great master. ”
Chongsheng was also surprised after listening to the words of the Rootless Daoist, he was shocked not that the Rootless Daoist had recognized his identity, but that he had thought that this was created by the original teacher, and he never thought that the big master had also said it, could it be that the big master knew the original teacher?
"It's getting dark, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you and Chifeng go down the mountain to rest. I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will use the treasure map of the deceased for the right path. Lao Dao has a word to give to His Royal Highness, ambition and ambition have a long way to go, and the people will not forget their original intentions. ”
