Chapter 235: Background
At night, in the dead of night, everyone else in the inn slept. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Yu stood in the corridor on the second floor a little woodenly, some didn't understand that the old man asked him to go at night, although it was said that there was something important, but he didn't look the same, he always felt that something was wrong.
What that feeling brought to him was that he had to talk about something.
He slowly walked to the door of the old man's room, opened the door directly and walked in, looking at the serious old man in the room, his heart sank.
"Old man, what did you call me to do?" Meng Yu smiled slightly, sat down on the stool on the side very naturally, picked up the teacup and poured tea.
Nie Hong looked serious, looked at the young man in front of him, and was silent. What he wants to say is probably unacceptable to Meng Yu, but now at this time, Meng Yu has also reached this age, and there are some things he should know.
"Ahem......"
"Oh, last time I said goodbye, just like yesterday. At that time, I passed on all my life's internal qi to you, and in the future, I will bring it into the martial arts, and now your strength is so strong, I am very pleased! ”
The old man couldn't help but pick up the tea he had poured for himself, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I went to Chang'an in the first place, and why I passed on to you the 'Qingxuan Sword Spectrum' that only the sect master of the Xia Sect could practice?" ”
Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, shaking his head.
When Nie Hong came to Chang'an, he was seriously injured and hid in Meng Yu's grass house, and was rescued by Meng Yu. Then after a period of life, he passed on his skills to Meng Yu one after another. Even the "Qingxuan Sword Spectrum" was left behind before leaving, and everything was like repaying the favor, and there was nothing suspicious.
Hearing the old man say this today, Meng Yu's heart trembled, he thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Old man... You... Do you know where I came from? ”
Life.
Although Meng Yu has crossed over, he also has the emotion of possessing this person, and he doesn't have too much resentment towards his parents who he has never met, but more thoughts and puzzles, and wants to ask why he left.
In fact, he already knew that he was not a child of the Chen family, he was adopted by his parents, after all, the ghost knows that the farmers in the suburbs of Chang'an are all surnamed Chen, so he has a surname Meng, and if he doesn't understand that he is adopted, he is afraid that he is a fool.
Coupled with the fact that his adoptive father and adoptive mother were also surnamed Chen, he was even more puzzled. I remember that when he hadn't left Chang'an, he went to worship his deceased adoptive father and adoptive mother, and only then did he realize that his life experience was wrong.
Today, the old man said this, I am afraid that his life experience is not simple, and it tends to be complicated.
"Hehe, I'll tell you, but don't get excited, listen to me slowly!" Nie Hong's face was heavy, thinking of a woman with peerless elegance and a man who was extremely strong, and his memory went back to that year.
"Your father's name is Meng Daoran, he is an extremely dazzling genius, his internal cultivation is unmatched in the entire martial arts, even I can't do a few moves in front of him. It's too powerful, it's too dazzling, and it can be said that it is invincible to the entire martial arts. ”
"But...... At first, we still underestimated the magic of this world, and we also underestimated the things left by the pre-Qin period. ”
"Do you know the Yin and Yang family among the hundred sons, they later went to Dongying, but they didn't expect to come back not long ago, and all this is because of your mother!"
"Do you know the Soul Bell?"
Meng Yu shook his head and asked, "What does this Town Soul Bell have to do with my parents, why does the Yin and Yang family who has already gone to Dongying want to come back?" ”
Nie Hong's face was serious, and he said eloquently: "Your mother's name is Mu Su, and she is also a Yin and Yang family, and she holds the secret treasure of the Yin and Yang family, and holds the secret of the immortal medicine. ”
"Your father was afraid that you would be implicated, so he placed you in the Chen family on the outskirts of Chang'an, so that you would not be caught by the Yin and Yang family who came back from Dongying......"
"Even if it's your father and your mother, they are not the opponents of those Yin and Yang families, they are far more powerful than you think, and they have the means and internal skills to burn books and pit Confucianism, even your father is very tricky to deal with."
"That's why I raised you to the Chen family...... Don't blame him! ”
Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been taken care of by the Chen family for many years, his heart was very unbalanced, but he was already so old, coupled with the fact that he had been a human being for two lives, he didn't bother to blame this father.
"Old man, I naturally understand these truths." Meng Yu smiled slightly, hiding everything in this smile. "So...... My mother... But still? ”
For some reason, he vaguely felt that his mother had passed away, whether it was from the old man's tone or expression.
Silent.
Nie Hong's face was stiff and speechless, and Meng Yu's question could ask him. He sighed slowly, patted Meng Yu's shoulder helplessly, and comforted: "Child...... Your mother has passed away, but your father still exists in the world, the last time he went to Goguryeo to find you, did he recognize you? ”
Meng Yu shook his head and sighed: "That's not it, I haven't seen him, I'm afraid I missed it in a hurry when I came back, hehe..."
In fact, he still really wants to see his dead ghost father, but now that he has time, he should figure this issue out first.
"But now it's not about seeing him, it's about figuring out how my mother died. And what the hell is the immortal medicine that the old man said, is it related to the loss of the map of Daming Palace last time? ”
"If that's the case, then the Demon Sect is also for this?"
Meng Yu was stunned in his heart, thinking of Jun Qianyan's request for him, and thought: That girl has to have a Goguryeo royal treasure map, plus Nalan Yuruo, who has lived in his house for a while, which makes him feel even more that what the Demon Sect is trying to do is an immortal medicine.
It's rare to have time to chat with the old man now, so be sure to ask.
Nie Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There is indeed an immortal elixir in the world, but it does not have the effect of immortality, but has the ability to bring the dead back to life. ”
"This matter is very complicated, but today I heard you say that the Demon Sect is also plotting this thing, so I'll talk to you about it!"
Meng Yu nodded, took a sip of tea to quench his thirst, and sat down looking at the old man, listening carefully. For her, there are still too many unknown things in this world, and he has to pay attention to it, otherwise he won't know how to die in the future.
The two had been talking for more than an hour, and the two sat in the room, talking non-stop.
Nie Hong was very serious, and when he talked about the issue of immortal medicine, he was even more serious, and he was very uneasy to explain to Meng Yu: "During the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor sent Xu Fu and a kind of yin and yang family to Penglai Immortal Mountain in Dongying to find the immortal medicine, according to the records of the Yellow Emperor period, this immortal medicine is called the Nine Lives Soul Calling Lotus, which has the ability to resurrect the dead, and can also increase our longevity, but whether it has the effect of immortality or immortality, no one knows. ”
Regarding this matter, Meng Yu was noncommittal, and he had also heard some legends.
There have been many legends of the elixir of immortality since ancient times, such as the story of Chang'e running to the moon is related to the elixir of immortality.
In the past, Hou Yi hunted in the mountains and met Xi'e under the laurel tree. So with laurel as evidence, it became a match made in heaven. When he was caught, he came out in ten days. Scorch the crops, kill the grass and trees, and the people have nothing to eat. Monkeys, chiseled teeth, nine infants, strong winds, sealing the Fenxi, and repairing snakes are all harms to the people. Yao Nai made Yi Zhu chisel his teeth in the wilderness of Chou Hua, kill nine babies on the fierce water, and pay the strong wind to the people of Qingqiu who heard his whispers.
This is the record of "Huainanzi", which probably means this.
A long time ago, when Hou Yi went hunting in the mountains, he met Chang'e under a laurel tree, and the two used the laurel tree as a medium to get married. In the time of Emperor Yao, ten suns appeared in the sky, which scorched the crops, roasted the grass and trees, and left the people without food. At the same time, the monkeys, chiseled teeth, nine infants, strong winds, sealing pigs, and snake repairs also began to endanger the people. So Di Yao ordered Yi to put the chisel tooth to death in the field of Chouhua, kill the nine babies on the fierce water, defeat the gale in Qingqiu Zhize, shoot for ten days, kill the Qiqi, cut the snake in the Dongting, and catch the Feng Feng in the mulberry forest. All the people rejoiced and embraced Yao as the Son of Heaven.
Later, Hou Yi got the immortal medicine from the Queen Mother of the West and handed it over to Chang'e for safekeeping. When Feng Meng heard about it, he went to steal, and if he couldn't steal, he would harm Chang'e. In desperation, Chang'e swallowed the elixir of immortality and flew to the moon. After Hou Yi heard that Chang'e ran to the moon, he was in pain.
There are some other versions, Meng Yu also understands, but most of them are the same, but after all, they are myths, and he didn't believe it at the time.
Later, there was also the story of Peng Zu eating immortal medicine and living for 800 years, which is probably also the immortal medicine. The story of Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of immortality is known to everyone, and even Japan in the 21st century has the same legend.
According to the Historical Records, in 219 B.C., Qin Shi Huang once rode a boat around the Shandong Peninsula, where he lingered for three months, where he heard that there were three immortal mountains in the Bohai Bay, called Penglai, Fangzhu and Yingzhou. On the three immortal mountains lived three immortals, with elixir of life in their hands. The man who told Qin Shi Huang this magical story was called Xu Fu, a local monk who had heard that he had seen the three immortal mountains with his own eyes. Qin Shi Huang was very happy when he heard this, so he sent Xu Fu to lead a thousand boys and girls into the sea in search of the elixir of life. The huge fleet led by Xu Fu set off, but he drifted on the sea for a long time and did not find the immortal mountain he was talking about, let alone the elixir of life.
Later, Xu Fu went to Penglai again and never returned, and Qin Shi Huang also died of illness, and his desire for immortality was shattered.
What Nie Hong said should be similar to this, but it is also a little different, after all, this world is much more complicated, after all, the thing "qi" exists, so it is understandable that this world is somewhat magical.
"The location of the elixir of immortality requires three map fragments to be pieced together to find, and the key to unlocking the secret is the Soul Suppression Bell, which is in your mother's hands, and the Yin and Yang family from Dongying will naturally not let your mother go, so ...... You can probably guess what the result will be......"
"And your father has been avoiding you for your safety. While hiding and purging the Yin and Yang family who killed your mother, now that his business has probably been completed, I am afraid that this time the Heavenly Machine List will also participate. ”
Nie Hong's expression was pale, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the next sect master of the Xia Sect, and you are qualified to mobilize us, but first you have to leave your name on the ranking of the Heavenly Machine List, so that you can convince the public, and if you want to fight against the Yin and Yang family of Dongying, you can also use our strength!" ”
"You don't need to pay attention to the matter of the immortal medicine for the time being, if the Demon Sect knows your identity, it will definitely not dare to offend you. After all, if your father goes crazy, one person can bloodied their entire Demon Sect, and you don't need to pay attention to this. ”
"The most important thing is ...... You are doing things in the emperor now, be careful, although Li Shimin is a good emperor, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable and endlessly changing, you have to be careful, lest he offend you! ”
Meng Yuqian nodded and said, "I understand, although Your Majesty seems to be very good to me, in fact, because I have no family power and no intention of being an official, he will rest assured of me." ”
"But Your Majesty is very wise, so there is no need to worry about this, the most important thing is to kill the Cult of the Evil God, I don't have much time, and I have to trouble everyone in the Xia Sect."
"Yes, I know!" Nie Hong smiled, saw that the time was not early, waved his hand and said, "Yu'er, you can also go down and rest, it's late!" ”
Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, he looked out the window, it was still early tomorrow, I don't know why the old man wanted to say this, but he didn't think much about it, and he didn't bother to think about it so much for the people he trusted, so he went out directly.
He paced slowly, returned to his room, sat on the bed, and began to practice the Qi Heart Method to prepare for the ranking of the Heavenly Machine Ranking.
The internal qi in his sea of qi swirled, condensing the internal qi into a spirit, circulating in the veins and veins, and reaching his five senses. And the sea of qi also began to condense the ninth cyclone, and the movement in his room was slightly louder, and the internal qi evaporated throughout the room, and the temperature also rose suddenly.
The sea of qi is the place where the internal qi is stored, and it is also the place where the cyclone in the body is condensed, and it is the source of the strength of the warrior. At this moment, Meng Yu's sea of qi began to change and became more expansive, and the qi in the sea of qi, because of the condensation into a spirit, his internal qi became thicker and more powerful.
He indifferently stretched out his hand, and a flying knife condensed by internal qi floated in his heart, and blades appeared intermittently around his body, although they were all qi shadows, but they already had a form, which showed that he was getting closer and closer to the Nine Heavens of the Acquired Realm.
But close is close, but it is still very difficult to reach the Nine Heavens, and now he has accumulated too little, and it is impossible to reach that realm, so he is not reluctant, and he falls asleep after practicing for a while.
……
At this time, there was suddenly another person in Nie Hong's room, and the feeling of being calm but experiencing countless vicissitudes made people curious.
"Heh, you're here, why don't you see him?" Nie Hong looked helpless.
The man smiled and said, "It's not time yet, let's wait for him to leave his name on the Tianji List, haha, by the way, old ghost, I have something to discuss with you!" ”
Nie Hong was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Immortal medicine? ”
The latter nodded, and the room fell silent.
