Chapter Eighty-Three: See the Mountains and Seas Again
Not to mention what the mysterious man secretly took out, just from this scene, I can clearly see that he has something to hide from Qin Mugong.
The reason why this person chose to make such a move when Qin Mugong was retreating was to avoid being easily discovered by Qin Mugong.
And after thinking about it, I can understand that he would behave like this.
In the final analysis, since this person has the ability to change the world, but he still came to assist Qin Mugong willingly, then he must have other plans, so I am not surprised that he deliberately concealed it.
And what really surprised me was that this person took the opportunity to put the thing at the head of the sword when Qin Mugong retreated.
If I'm not mistaken, what he put in the head of his sword was a ring.
This ring is not gold or silver but wood, it looks simple and mysterious, it seems to be some years, there is no pattern on the ring, but some strange patterns are engraved, not words, nor the carved ornaments used in previous dynasties.
When I saw the ring, I reflexively touched my left hand, and when I found nothing, I remembered that I was still in an inexplicable state.
I'm just watching the story as a bystander, and I don't have a body but a mind, so I can't touch my left hand.
And the reason why I feel familiar with this ring, and want to get verification from my left hand, is precisely because if I am not mistaken, this ring placed at the head of the sword by this person is the mountain and sea ring that should be wearing in my hand at this moment!
This so-called ring of mountains and seas has always had an indissoluble bond with me.
When I was young, my father found the ring out of nowhere, and he did not tell me in detail about the magic of the ring, but he put it on my hand and told me not to take it off at any time.
At that time, I naturally didn't know that there were so many stories hidden in this small ring, but I obediently let my father put it on my left hand, and never took it off wherever I went, until the ring disappeared mysteriously when my father disappeared.
I had carefully cleaned up my home after my father's disappearance, and I was surprised to find that my father's sudden departure had not taken anything with him except for the ring that I had never left with me.
That was the first time I felt that there might be a great secret hidden in this humble ring.
However, although I felt the strangeness of the ring at that time, I was so preoccupied with my missing father that I naturally had no intention of thinking about the story of the ring, and only regarded it as an insignificant episode, which I had long forgotten in the corner of my mind.
And the re-affinity with this ring was after meeting Chunting and others.
By cracking the clues on the statue of Bi Fang, we got the location of the Chang'an Baqiao, and with the help of Chunting, we arrived at the Yang Guangyi Tomb located at the Baqiao, and it was where it was that gave me a further understanding of the mysterious force of Guanshan.
And after coming out of Yang Guang's clothed mound, we met Hebo from weak water.
Although Guanshan and the weak water have been entangled for thousands of years, Hebo didn't mean to do anything on this trip, just obeyed the instructions of the lord of the weak water, and brought me something and a word.
The words that Hebo brought were exactly what my father used to teach me, "A man is as dead as iron", and the thing she brought was the mysterious ring that I had worn in my hands since I was a child and was later quietly taken away by my father.
It is precisely because of this sentence and this ring that I dare to be sure that my father's disappearance must have some unknown relationship with the weak water, and if I want to find my father's traces, I must embark on this bumpy road.
And the news I got about this ring again was in Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial mausoleum.
There are many mechanisms in that imperial tomb, and after we unravel the hexagram about seeing the dragon in the field, the new mechanism that appears puzzles us.
The new mechanism was a bronze statue.
The bronze statue was strangely shaped, with its upper body leaning forward slightly, as if humble, but its head was not lowered, but it was facing us, and its hands were stretched forward, palms facing up, as if it was begging for something.
The bronze statue wears a winged crown, a round collar with a collared shirt, embroidered with a dragon pattern on the front and back, and jade leather boots, although the posture is humble and polite, but it reveals an inexplicable majesty.
From the special physiognomy of this bronze statue, we finally determined that this bronze statue was Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and after discovering this fact, we couldn't help but be even more puzzled by the actions of this statue.
The upper half of the statue leaned forward, and the hands were stretched out together, palms upward, but in the palms of the hands, there were two grooves in the places that we had not noticed just now, as if we were going to fill in something.
The groove in the left hand is very peculiar in shape, the lower half is square, the upper half is disorganized, and it looks like it should be the size of an ordinary person's palm.
The groove in the right hand is extremely simple, just an ordinary ring-shaped, about the thickness of an ordinary human finger, but other than that, there is nothing abnormal.
After being reminded by Chunting, we realized that the things that the two hands of this statue were asking for was the Guigu Order, which symbolized the identity of the Guigu lineage, and the mysterious ring that I had worn in my hand since I was a child.
Although I already knew that the ring was extraordinary, I never imagined that this ring would be connected to the mysterious underground imperial tomb.
It was at that time, under my questioning, that Chunting asked me for the first time the question of "who am I?" that is worth pondering.
Although Chunting was vague about this at that time, I didn't expect that I would soon understand the secret hidden in this ring, and even related to my true identity.
At the end of the underground tomb, we met Yi He, who was not a companion at that time, and he led his men to move with us, bent on keeping us in the underground tomb forever.
At the critical moment, everyone bought me time, and I obeyed Chunting's instructions and bit off my middle finger, allowing blood to drip onto the ring.
And the moment the ring came into contact with my blood, many memories that seemed to belong to me suddenly flooded into my mind, and in this memory picture, each of my identities was very different.
With my actions, Yi He's expression, which had been swearing to get rid of us, changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stand back for the time being, and at the same time he knelt on one knee and called me the Holy Lord in his mouth.
