Chapter 4 A man is as dead as iron

After listening to the origin of the wooden ring in my hand and the words in Hebo's mouth, Ling Xuan and Chun Ting looked solemn, looking at me as if they had something to say but didn't know how to speak.

"Chunting, Brother Xuan, I can see what kind of Hebo you know, who are she and the master behind her?"

I looked at the ring in my hand with expressionless face, and asked them in a calm tone about the origin of Hebo.

Chunting didn't answer, he looked at the ring in my hand with strange eyes, he had always been moody, and he was actually full of shock at the moment.

Ling Xuan saw that I heard the news about my father, and his mood was not very stable, so he didn't speak, but asked me to calm down and rest before going into detail.

Also, everyone was worried in the tomb, as soon as he came out of the tomb, Hebo suddenly visited, and he was not calm all the way, now there is nothing to do for the time being, let Ling Xuan take us back to rest well, and then make plans.

I thought I was going to take us back to the Spring Pavilion to rest, but we found that the direction that Ling Xuan took us to was not the northern suburbs where the Spring Pavilion was located, but went straight to the city center, and I don't know where this was going.

Because I was in a bad mood, everyone didn't say anything all the way. With Ling Xuan's arrival, we arrived at the place where we were going to rest this time.

When I looked up, I saw an antique building in front of me. The building is two floors, and two stone lions, one male and one female, are lined up on both sides of the main entrance, which is lifelike. The male lion's right front paw plays with the hydrangea, representing stepping on the universe, and the female lion's left front paw caresses the lion cub, implying that the offspring will be long.

The door is wooden, vermilion, the knocker is made of gilding, the shape is like a coiling dragon, the golden door nail has nine columns horizontally and nine rows, it looks a little similar to the door of Yang Guang's tomb, I want to come here Chunting and Ling Xuan modeled after Yang Guang's tomb to build.

There are couplets on both sides of the door, the couplets are not ordinary people's New Year's pictures of a festive and the like, I think it should be written by visiting a famous family, the pen goes into the wood for three points, take a closer look at the two popular poems engraved on it.

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis.

This is Li He's thirteen poems in the South Garden, and the last two sentences are why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. After they said the thousand-year-old secret of Guanshan, I was extremely sensitive to these two words, and it seems that no matter who this place is, it has a certain relationship with Guanshan.

There was a gilded plaque on the lintel, and I looked at the plaque, which was carved with three large clear characters.

Lingyun Pavilion.

Seeing the words on the plaque, I couldn't help but smile in my heart, I don't know whose mansion this is, I actually compare this mansion to Lingyan Pavilion, can he be compared to Emperor Taizong who is known as Tian Khan in his heart?

Lingyun Pavilion is another name for Lingyan Pavilion, which was originally an inconspicuous small building located next to the Sanqing Hall in the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong Li Shimin in order to cherish the memory of the heroes who fought the world together, ordered Yan Liben to paint the images of twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion, all life-size, Chu Suiliang inscription, often go to nostalgia, so the world is famous.

And they went in the door, and went up to the second floor. The carved beams and paintings in the building are splendid, and there are some literati calligraphy and paintings and antique porcelain piled up in the corner. I walked over and took a general look, there were real and fake, I didn't expect that with the identity of the two of them, there would be fakes here.

Ling Xuan watched me walk towards the pile of antiques and said casually.

"Don't ruin my business."

Now that the master has opened his mouth, he is embarrassed to do it again. I looked left and right, the north wall is engraved with "Gong Gao Zaifu", the south wall is engraved with "Gong Gao Hou Wang", except that I didn't see the statue of the twenty-four heroes, here is really like the legendary Emperor Taizong misses the Lingyan Pavilion of the heroes.

After Chunting came here, he was obviously much more relaxed and said to us with a smile.

"Why don't you meet the Lingyun Pavilion Master yet."

There was a lot of space here, and Ling Xuan asked us to find a place to sit and rest, explaining to us.

"Although I am from Guanshan, I am mainly responsible for external affairs, and I go out and walk most of the time, so how can I not have an official identity outside. My identity to the outside world is that of an antique dealer, and I naturally have real and fake stocks, and this is my industry. This Lingyun Pavilion is built by me following the example of Emperor Taizong Lingyan Pavilion, when there is nothing to do, most of the people in the world love it, jokingly called a Lingyun Pavilion master, it should not be true. ”

Sun Zhen's focus was not here, and he opened his mouth hesitantly to ask.

"Brother Ting, that Hebo opened his mouth and called you Emperor Dongyue, what does this mean, are you a human or a ghost......

Before Chun Ting could speak, Ling Xuan slapped Sun Zhen on the head and said angrily.

"Can you speak, of course Brother Ting is a human, if you are a ghost, I will scare you to death first."

Sun Zhen rubbed his head that was hurting, and asked Ling Xuan about the doubts in everyone's hearts aggrievedly.

"It's not that ghost woman, what kind of Hebo, and what kind of Dongyue Emperor, I panicked when I heard her. Since you are all human, where did these ghost names come from? ”

Ling Xuan looked at Chunting, as if asking if he should say it, Chunting hesitated slightly, nodded, and spoke.

"Tell them, since they know these things, they are not destined to be outsiders, sooner or later they must know, rather than let others tell them, it is better for you to speak yourself."

"Hebo is a weak water person, right?"

Without waiting for Ling Xuan to speak, I raised my head and suddenly asked.

"Hebo is indeed a person in weak water, how do you know, have you seen it?"

Although Ling Xuan was surprised why I guessed Hebo's identity, he still nodded and admitted my statement.

"Guanshan, weak water, one is named after the mountain, and the other is named after the water. And Hebo is the mythical god of water in charge of the Yellow River, and the Emperor Dongyue is in charge of life and death in Mount Tai, if I guess correctly, these are the code names of these two organizations. ”

Hearing Ling Xuan admit my guess, I lowered my head again, played with the ring in my hand, and explained faintly why I guessed that Hebo was a person in weak water.

"You guessed it right, the two major forces have been codenamed to the outside world. Although the origin of Guanshan is Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain, the leaders of the past dynasties did not dare to trespass, retreated to the second, and called themselves Dongyue Taishan, and the weak water leader called himself the Dragon King, which means to be in charge of ten thousand waters, and Hebo is the most important subordinate of the Dragon King. ”

Ling Xuan said the secret of the two major forces, and then looked at me hesitantly.

"After all, you are a person of fate, in fact, our original plan was to let you explore the secrets of this thousand years while they didn't notice you, but now it seems that the people in the weak water have already discovered your traces, but for some reason they have been watching your movements, but they have not harmed you."

"If you leave now, it won't be safe. Although Guan Shan and Weak Water are also mortals and not immortals, they all have their own divine channel techniques, and if they attack you, it is impossible for you to retreat with your whole body. ”

"You don't want to be a part of it, just act like you haven't heard anything, don't know anything, and go back to your ordinary life. Although there are no surprises, I can at least ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. ”

I could hear that Ling Xuan's tone was full of concern and worry for me. Although I don't know why he cared so much about me when I met him for the first time, my heart, which had not been warmed for a long time, suddenly had a little warmth.

"Han Chuan, although my father left a letter saying that you are the one who solves your fate, I also know that you are willing to give everything in order to find your uncle. But now the situation is different, the weak water knows your existence, and if it attacks you, you can't guard against it. I can at least defend myself, but what if they find you and you are helpless. ”

Xue Nan also persuaded me to give up looking for my father's traces, although the words were not good, but how could I not hear the care contained in them.

Sun Zhen lowered his head on the side, didn't know what to think, and didn't speak. Shen Lang rested for a while, he should have organized his language, and looked at me with real eyes.

"Brother Chuan, I won't talk about the big truth, you are smarter than me and know more than me, so you don't need me to persuade you. I just wanted to tell you. Whether you want to find your uncle's traces, or give up looking for a normal life, I may not have much ability, but I am here when you need me. ”

Ever since my father disappeared, I've always had low self-esteem. I know that they all say that I am arrogant, but in fact, it is not arrogant, but afraid.

Gao Leng on the surface is actually afraid of being looked down upon, and for so many years, except for my sister, only Shen Lang has entered my heart. Maybe this is a true friend, as long as I don't affect other people's lives, no matter what I choose is right or wrong, he will support me.

After listening to them, their words were full of concern for me and wanted me to give up the next road. Only Chunting was different, he looked at the ring in my hand, and then at me, but he didn't make a sound.

I stood up, took a deep breath, stretched my waist, and looked at them with a smile.

"I've lived for more than 20 years, and I've always smiled at everyone, but few people have ever really wanted to be my friend, if I hadn't met you today, I would have wondered if I had a problem."

Chunting watched my movements, seemed to understand my thoughts, and walked out with a smile on his face.

"Brother Chuan, don't be sensational, take a break, I'll accompany you home."

"Yes, let's send you back together, and when we miss you in the future, we will go to your house to find you, and don't pretend that you don't know us when the time comes."

Shen Lang and Xue Nan were on the side, as if they thought I was in a good mood, and offered to send me home, away from this chaos and complexity.

"Actually, to continue or to give up, my father has already told me."

I shook my head and said lightly.

"Uncle has been missing for so long, when did he tell you?"

Shen Lang's face showed confusion again, and he asked curiously.

"Before your father disappeared, for your safety, he never told you about Guan Shan, how could he know that you had such an encounter today?"

Xue Nan is smarter than Shen Lang in the end, knowing that from the timeline, it is impossible for my father to know what happened today, so naturally he will not tell me in advance whether to continue or give up.

I smiled nostalgically, and then looked at the ring in my hand, and it seemed that I could still feel the warmth left by my father from the ring.

"He really didn't leave me any advice, but he told me a word from a young age, and over time, it became a motto in my life."

"Han Ying, what did he tell you?"

Ling Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't I tell you, the man is as determined as iron."

Chun Ting didn't know when he would go and return, and looked at Ling Xuan and said slowly.

Hearing Chun Ting speak, I knew that he was the only one here who really saw through my heart.

I calmed down and spoke without a hint of hesitation,

"Yes, that's it."

"I know this road is not easy to follow, but you also said that I am a child of destiny and a man of fate. Although I don't believe in any fate, if it is really as you say, I, the man of destiny, dare not continue, who can take my place? Whether it's for the sake of the world in your mouth, or simply for my father, I can't give up. ”

"Men are as dead as iron!"
