Chapter 2: Eternal Life
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming asked Zhao Liang for dinner, and by the way, he asked for Liu Yang's file. And on the street, he happened to meet a man carrying a piano, and Mu Qingming recognized the guqin on the man's back at a glance, which was the crane singing Qiuyue. After Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang left together, the man came to a roadside tea stall and sat down, asking about Wang Zhanhai's descendants, but he happened to meet the former Chao Xiucai He Dad. Draw out the knowledge of Daddy He and tell the mystery of the feng shui array in the city, but he doesn't know where Wang Zhanhai's descendants are. After Zhao Liang and Mu Qingming had a great meal, Mu Qingming explained his plan to Zhao Liang, as well as some of the current actions of the Immortal Dao. 】
The breeze rolled up the confetti and dust on the ground, but it couldn't blow away the sweltering heat in the scorching sun.
The tarpaulins on the roadside tea stalls, together with the guise at the door of the stalls, swayed gently in the breeze and rattled.
The old man glanced at the guqin, and then stopped his gaze on the guqin in front of the man. After a few closer glances, the old man with surprise in his eyes asked, "Is this the autumn moon of the Ming Dynasty?" ”。
"The old gentleman has good eyesight." The man's eyes regained calm, and his mouth faintly returned.
"Can you play a song for old decay? It's been a long time since I've heard the sound of the guqin, the mountains and rivers are flowing, if you can play a song for me, maybe I can tell you a little more things. The old man's eyes twinkled with anticipation, and he stood up, slowly walked over to the man with his teacup and sat down.
The man shook his head silently, and then said, "This piano is dumb, and it can't be played." ”。 When the words landed, the eyes of the man who lowered his head slightly flashed with self-blame.
"What a pity." The old man was stunned for a moment, and a little regret appeared between his frowning brows.
The stall owner could not understand what they were saying, so he did not join in the fun, and went to sit down by the stove and stuffed a few sticks of wood into the stove.
"Let the old man guess." After a moment of silence, the old man looked at the guqin wrapped in black cloth, and then looked at the man who drank a small sip of tea after lifting the teacup, and said in a low voice: "Are you looking for Wang Zhanhai's descendants, do you want to repair the qin?" ”。
The man's calm eyes rippled like a pebble entering the water again, and a trace of surprise flashed. He frowned and glanced up at the old man who seemed to be smiling, and his eyes widened slightly.
Obviously, the old man on the other side explained his purpose in one sentence.
"The world only knows that Wang Zhanhai is a rare feng shui master in a century, who built this special feng shui city that is the only one in China. It makes the Bagua City of Spring City and Yili, Wenzhou, where the mountains are like the Beidou City, Nanjing, which is like a dragon, and the land of Longxing, and Beiping, which has the best pattern, are equally famous in feng shui. But as everyone knows, he Wang Zhanhai is also a piano idiot, who has studied the way of the guqin all his life, and has also collected many famous pianos, and even has the legacy of the great sage of the guqin in the Tang Dynasty. And the old man happened to know about this, so as soon as I heard you say that the piano was dumb, I guessed that you were going to find his descendants to repair the piano. Under the man's surprised gaze, the old man stroked his long beard again, and then said leisurely: "But I'm disappointed to tell you that no one knows whether Wang Zhanhai has descendants or not, even the old decay. But there is a little-known legend that the aura contained in the feng shui array of this Kunming city can also be used to repair the qin. But the premise is that your guqin must be spiritual. If it is a dead harp without spirituality, it cannot be repaired. ”。 After saying that, the old man looked at the guqin again.
The man, who was lost for a while, and then ignited hope with the old man's dictation, hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”。
When the old man heard this, he deliberately did not rush to explain, but paused his teacup and drank the tea leisurely.
On the other side, the man who was carrying the piano was even more anxious, staring at the old man's eyes and not daring to take his eyes off half a minute and half a pride.
"If you go to the street to listen to a book, you have to give a three-melon and two dates, and now you want me to explain things clearly, how much it means." Just as the man's impatience became stronger and stronger, the old man suddenly said leisurely. It's just that his eyes still haven't met the man's gaze, and he is already looking at the flow of people coming and going on the street outside the stall under the scorching sun.
"I understand." The man did not hesitate, and directly took out ten oceans from his sleeve and stacked them in front of the old man one by one.
Listening to the soft sound of the collision of silver dollars, the old man felt very pleasant, narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the teacup, stretched out his hand, and the ocean on the table disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Wang Zhanhai has thoroughly studied the treasure points around Kunming City and in the city, and pointed out 48 feng shui acupoints, which are known as the 48 Great Records of Wang Gong by later generations." The old man raised his teacup again, glanced at the man, and said: "And if you want to run the feng shui array he laid out, you have to run these forty-eight feng shui acupoints first, and there is a Xuanwu aura in the city to maintain these forty-eight feng shui acupoints. ”。
"Let's put it this way, as long as you have this aura and your guqin is spiritual, then it can be repaired." The old man paused, and then continued.
The breeze blew into the tea shed again, and the hem of the old man's and men's robes swayed under the guise.
"Where is the location? How do I get Reiki? The man asked eagerly.
The old man shook his head silently, he had already told the mystery, and the man had to figure out the rest of the matter himself.
The man couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but it didn't last long, then he stood up, bowed slightly to the old man and thanked him, and while carrying the guqin, he secretly said in his heart: "Wuye, you are saved." ”。
As soon as he finished saying this, the man had already walked out of the tea shed, and soon blended into the crowd and disappeared.
"Your ability to lie is getting stronger and stronger, and you have turned the outsiders around." The stall owner walked over and stood beside the old man, smiling a little disdainfully as he looked in the direction the man had left.
"What I told him is not a lie, it's just that you all think it's just a legend." After the old man drank the last sip of tea in the cup, he showed a mysterious smile, and at the same time took out the tea money and gently put it on the table, stood up, and said: "Let's go, after coming out for so long, the old woman at home should be verbose again." ”。
After finishing speaking, he also walked out of the tea stall and quickly blended into the flow of people.
"Old madman, I can't tell if it's a legend or a real thing." The stall owner glared at the direction the old man had left, and spat on the ground, the disdain on his face even heavier......
In the spring city, there is an elegant lakeside restaurant on the edge of the green lake, and in a secluded private room upstairs. In this kind of carved beam painting building, a pot of orchids in the corner of the house quietly bloomed, bringing a burst of fragrance in the house, Mu Qingming actually stood in front of the carved small window that was pushed open with one chicken leg in one hand, facing the cool breeze blowing in his face, looking at the evergreen bamboo on the shore outside the window, and the emerald green lotus leaves floating on the rippling waves in the lake, after taking a bite of the chicken leg, he said vaguely: "This restaurant is good, you can come often in the future." Push the window to see lotus flowers and bamboo, as well as the green and clear Nine Dragon Pool, which is quite elegant. ”。
After that, Mu Qingming walked over, sat down opposite Zhao Liang, put down the chicken leg that was gnawed to the bone, leaned forward again, reached out and tore off the tender meat on the long neck of a suckling pigeon, and stuffed it between the teeth in his mouth.
"You are such a young master of a dignified family, why don't you have any food at all?" Zhao Liang frowned and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"I still have to eat with you, isn't our relationship familiar with your Spring City's words? What do you want to eat, and who do you want to show it to? Mu Qingming said this disapprehantly, raised a plate of peanuts in his hand nearby, grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and his cheeks immediately bulged.
"Forget it, for the sake of your face with the information of the Immortal Dao, you starving ghost don't care about the appearance of eating." Zhao Liang lost his appetite in an instant, raised his teacup, and after taking a leisurely sip of tea, he looked at Mu Qingming, who was feasting, and asked, "What did you find?" ”。
Mu Qingming raised his right foot and stomped on the ground, and the enchantment unfolded.
Although there are only him and Zhao Liang in this room, the best way to be on the safe side, so as not to have ears on the wall, is to perform the mirror flower water moon surgery, and then talk about the business.
"The remnants of the Immortal Dao are still in the city." After the enchantment unfolded, Mu Qingming reversed his previous grin, and his face became serious: "At least it's still near Spring City; Next, they will find five strange people, who may not be humans, and these monsters will help them open the door to eternal life! ”。
Everything Mu Qingming said was new information that Miao Tian had decoded from the ancient books of the Immortal Dao.
"What monster, what immortal, what are you talking about?" Zhao Liang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Mu Qingming was talking about?
"It's their immortal path that they have found a way to use five kinds of creatures with magic to open the door to eternal life, so that they will not grow old or die, so you can make it clear?" Mu Qingming worded again, and then explained.
When Zhao Liang heard this, he fell into a daze of contemplation. He is not a strange person, and it is indeed difficult to understand what Mu Qingming said in a moment and a half.
But after a little thought, he can also understand the general idea.
So he opened his mouth and asked, "So, the ultimate goal of the Immortal Dao has not changed, and they are still as you said before, they will do whatever it takes to control their lifespan, is that what you mean?" ”。
"Yes." After Mu Qingming nodded his head, he immediately frowned: "And they have already obtained one of these things." ”。
At this point, Mu Qingming couldn't help but think of the cold corpse of the water monkey without kidneys.
So is eternal life real? Is it so tempting? Zhao Liang suddenly asked under Mu Qingming's ensuing silence.
"It's really not that tempting for us." Mu Qing smiled meaningfully suddenly, and then said slowly: "But for the Immortal Dao, immortality is a necessary means for them to control others, and the temptation is naturally not small; They don't care about the lives of others for their purposes. You, Zhao Liang, are another person who wants to capture them, our purpose is the same, preventing them from gaining eternal life is equivalent to ruining them. ”。
"We need to make the Immortal Dao despair and let them watch their long-cherished eternal life come to naught, which is more effective than destroying them. Once a legend is born, a false hope, the madness of the Immortal Path becomes madness. Mu Qingming's face suddenly became a little more cold and gloomy.
This is the only way he can think of now. If immortality cannot be disguised as a legend, then even if only one person survives in the Immortal Dao, then the hope of obtaining immortality will continue.
What are Mu Qingming's specific actions? Will it be successful? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
