Chapter 14 The Son of Heaven will come, and the gods will not come
After listening to her gloomy but resolute words, I never expected that Xue Nan, who has always had a cold face on weekdays, would take her feelings so seriously.
"That's not right, he has taught you for more than ten years, since you have affection for him and don't want him to know, why do you call him by his name instead of master."
I asked the last question on my mind.
"Although we have the fact of master and apprentice, but there is no name of master and apprentice, in fact, over the years he has never admitted that he is my master, only said that he returned to me what I once had, since I went to the Spring Pavilion, he asked me to call him the Spring Pavilion, I asked why I asked, but he never refused to tell me."
Although Xue Nan explained to me, she was also full of doubts when she looked at her, and I don't know why.
After listening to Xue Nan tell her story from beginning to end, I knew that this was the case, no wonder Xue Nan's face was not the same as her current state, I guessed that there was a master who changed her life against the sky, but I didn't expect this person to be Chunting.
But there is one thing that Xue Nan may not know herself, although Chunting said it easily, but Xue Nan Xianchi is in the Fate Palace, and her life body is the same as Gong Lian Xiang's right Bi Tiankui Hongluan Xianchi Tiande, she has no martial arts, no matter how advanced the martial arts she learns, it is impossible to use martial arts as a guide to lead the Nine Heavenly Martial Arts to suppress the defeated god of fate.
If you want to resolve it, unless someone is a master who changes her life against the sky, or uses her own life to suppress the defeated god of her life, thinking of her experience, the person who can suppress the defeated god for her and has this ability, except for Chunting, I really can't think of the second one.
Whether it is to change his life against the sky or to suppress the defeat of Xue Nan, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it in practice, for some reason, Chunting, who has paid so much, has never told her, and until now Xue Nan is still stupid to think that it was his own martial arts practice that resolved his defeat.
When Xue Nan told me this story, his expression was gloomy, trapped by love, and his words did not seem to be fake, I didn't see any signs of concealment, it seems that although Chunting paid a lot, he didn't want Xue Nan to know.
Since Chunting didn't want to tell Xue Nan, he should have his own reasons, so why should I be this wicked person who reports the news.
It's just that it seems that I should go and talk to Chunting when I find time, and ask this man who pays silently without asking for anything in return, what he deliberately hides from Xue Nan in this story may be the most important part.
"Okay Han Chuan, you know everything about me, you must keep it secret for me."
Looking at Xue Nan, who looks cold on weekdays, will one day have such a little woman's appearance, I can't help but laugh in my heart, the heroic woman has also become a little woman trapped by love, this is really a good reincarnation of heaven, who is forgiven by feelings.
"Don't worry, I will never say it, I still remember the first time I saw you, I can't beat you when I really fight."
I smiled and comforted Xue Nan.
Xue Nan may also remember that when they met for the first time, they nailed Shen Lang's knife to the wall with a whip, thinking about the two people who were tense at that time, but now they are secretly hiding together and talking about their secrets, and the corners of their mouths are curled and they laugh.
"Okay, okay, don't be curious if you've told you everything, let's go see how they are doing."
After Xue Nan finished speaking, he pulled me back to the dragon's head, everyone was busy cracking the mechanism on the dragon's head, naturally they didn't notice the conversation between the two of us just now, only Chunting, who seemed to be able to see through everything, looked at me and looked at Xue Nan, and there seemed to be a trace of understanding between their expressions.
"How's your research going?"
I tried to pretend that I didn't know anything, and asked Shen Lang with a relaxed expression.
Shen Lang told me that they studied for a long time, and found that the dragon head was cast solidly, the bottom was connected to the ground, the dragon head could not be pressed or rotated, but the ten small squares on both sides could be pressed, he tried to touch it, but he heard the faint sound of organic springs in the ground, and he was afraid of touching something so he had to let go, and he did not dare to continue researching.
Hearing what Shen Lang received, I tried to touch the squares on both sides of the dragon's head, and sure enough, it was not a fixed thing that seemed to be loose, pressed gently, and heard a sound from the ground, listening carefully as if it was the sound of crossbow arrows, I didn't dare to try, let go and thought about it.
"This should be the legendary Luban Gate's construction secret technique, Dinglong Fall!"
Chunting looked at me with appreciative eyes and slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Han Chuan is right, this is the secret of Lubanmen that has been passed down for thousands of years, the dragon pendant, when it is manufactured, the required utensils are completely manufactured first, and then the mechanism is arranged on it, and the loose plane left on it is the focus of the mechanism."
"If you want to crack it, you need to put the items on the mechanism to reach the same weight as the one set at the time of manufacture before you can open the mechanism, otherwise it will trigger the mechanism, the dragon pendant is mostly used in the tomb, so the light mechanism is self-destructive, the mausoleum inside sleeps underground, and the crossbow arrow sinks to the ground, so that the tomb robber has no place to bury!"
After Chunting finished speaking, I looked around, the ten gold nuggets next to the dragon head were shining in the light of the fire in the grooves on both sides, and I picked up the ten gold nuggets, and sure enough, as I expected, the size was the same, but it was not solid, it should be that the gold nuggets were wrapped in different items, so although the size was the same, the weight was different.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, Yuan Tiangang doesn't want people to survive at all, thousands of years have passed, who knows what the weight of the Dinglong pendant was at the beginning, otherwise let's go back, don't find the truth and die first."
Shen Lang sighed, and there was no trace of hope between his words.
"It's easy to say, not to mention that you gave up halfway and had no perseverance, did you forget that when you came in, you hit the iron door and closed it by yourself? There are only two paths in front of us now, either crack the mechanism and continue to explore, or we will wait here. ”
Xue Nan returned to her usual appearance, with a cold tone and reprimanded Shen Lang without emotion.
"What are you waiting for, Xue Nan, are you saying that someone is coming to save us?"
Shen Lang didn't care about Xue Nan's tone, and asked her what she was waiting for here.
"If the mechanism is cracked, we can't move forward, the iron door is locked, and we can't open it, so we don't do anything and wait here, waiting to starve to death!"
Xue Nan said coldly.
Shen Lang didn't dare to reply after hearing this, and hid behind me, if he hadn't accidentally touched the mechanism, we would not have been able to move forward or retreat, but now it is good, we can only advance and not retreat, and he also knows the severity of things involving life, so how dare he refute it.
"Don't scare him, the situation is indeed as you said, you can only advance and not retreat, but this mechanism is not so difficult!"
I looked at Xue Nan, since I knew her story, I didn't seem to be able to tell which one was the real her, the cold woman in front of me and the little woman trapped in love.
"Han Chuan, do you know how to crack the Dinglong Pendant?"
Xue Nan is not stupid, hearing me say this, he knows that I must have made a discovery.
"How did we find this faucet?"
I asked Xue Nan with a smile.
"It's not that you've cracked the mechanism on the five stone mountains, when is this happening, don't show it off."
It was Sun Zhen who spoke, and there was a lot of impatience between the words, probably thinking that I had not forgotten to show my ability to crack the mechanism until now.
"Yes, Brother Chuan, when is this, if you know how to crack the Dinglong Pendant, do it quickly."
Shen Lang hid aside, knowing that the reason why he couldn't retreat now was completely because he ran into a mechanism when he came in, which caused the entrance to be blocked, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Then how did I crack the mechanism on the stone mountain?"
Although I was talking to them, I was only looking at Chunting with my eyes.
I told them that I wasn't asking this question to show off that I had cracked the mechanism in Stone Mountain, but to make them think back to how I solved it.
"You just thought of this statue as Emperor Xudu because you found the couplet, and then thought of the location of these five stone mountains and cracked the mechanism, is this dragon head still related to Emperor Xudu?"
After listening to me, Sun Zhen thought about it carefully.
"That's right, it was Chunting who reminded me just now, if you want to crack the mechanism, you must first know who the idol enshrined here is, I found out through the couplet that this is the Emperor Xudu, so that the five stone mountains in the town of the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, whether this dragon head has anything to do with the Emperor Xudu I don't know, but I know the relationship between this gold nugget and the Ghost Emperor."
I said so much in one breath, and after saying that, I confidently placed the gold nuggets in order to the empty space next to the dragon's head, and everyone hurriedly gathered around to see how I sorted them, only to see that the dragon's head was lined up by me from right to left from top to bottom into two sentences.
Although the Son of Heaven will come, the gods will not come.
Emperor Xudu, also known as Emperor Beiyin, Emperor of the Northern Tai, Nine Hidden Sins Tianzun, is the supreme management god of Taoist hell, the legendary god of hell, and is commonly known as the Ghost Emperor.
Although the Son of Heaven will come.
Whether you are a literati with thousands of pen talents, or a decisive general who leads the army on the battlefield, even if you are the true dragon son of heaven and the ninety-five honor, as long as your life ends, you will come here to obey the ghost emperor.
It's the gods who don't come.
This sentence is better understood, the Ghost Emperor Ghost Emperor, as the name suggests, commands ten thousand ghosts, even if the true dragon emperor dies, he will turn into a ghost with a handful of loess, no different from others, unless you can be otherworldly and become immortals, so you don't have to die and wait for the ghost emperor to fall.
After listening to my explanation, everyone suddenly realized that these two sentences can really be said to be appropriate here, and under the rule of Emperor Xudu, it can be said that although the Son of Heaven will come, the gods will not come.
Just placed properly, only to hear the sound of the spring, a burst of dust suddenly appeared in the confined space to block our vision, everyone hurriedly retreated to the rear to observe carefully, and when the dust dissipated, the scene in front of us surprised us.
After the gold nuggets were placed, we saw that the dragon head just now disappeared again and sank into the ground, disappearing before our eyes, while the idol was like a door, slowly parting from the middle, as if the abyssal beast was waiting to devour us with its mouth open.
Looking at it, there is still a long and dense passage inside the door, no wonder we can't see anything else here, the original passage to continue is hidden in the statue, the statue weighs a thousand pounds, and no one can pass under the hard break of the mechanism before the incorrect cracking.
"Let's go, let's go and see what Yuan Tiangang left here, since I am a person of fate, it won't be left to me."
I was in a good mood to untie the mechanism, and I called everyone to move forward together, and I was actually in the mood to make a joke in my words.
Everyone laughed loudly, and after the commotion, they began to walk into the passage that suddenly appeared in the statue, Xue Nan went first, Shen Lang and Sun Zhen followed, I walked with Chunting, and before I could say anything about Xue Nan, Chunting looked at me instead, and the corners of his mouth curled up meaningfully.
"Although the Son of Heaven will come, hahaha, interesting, interesting......"
