Chapter 4: The Great-Grandfather's Testament

After the lamas handed the jar to Shen Yuan, they did not check the contents of the altar, and after sending Shen Yuan away, they began to do things in front of the tower. After Shen Yuan returned to the monk's house alone, he took out all the contents of the altar、、、 a thick letter, a wooden seal, and an old book, which were gone.

Shen Yuan pinched the letter with trembling hands, and left some traditional Chinese characters on the cover with an ink pen: Jade Connoisseur Qi --- Seventy-one、、、 is Shen Yuan's grandfather!

After reading it carefully, Shen Yuan only felt that the whole person was like a dream. Grandpa Tai seemed to have known that he couldn't come back to take away the pair of wrenches, and he also had a great sense of crisis about the inheritance of his own lineage jade master. Through the secrecy of the ancient temple outside the world and the majesty of the three demon towers, many secrets and half of the inheritance secret books in the door were secretly left in this altar. Only then did Shen Yuan understand why Shen Yuan's grandfather came to him to study it countless times and changed countless methods to understand what was going on with the family heirloom booklet.

It turned out that Grandpa Tai had already divided the secret book into two, not simply dismantling, but scrambling and splitting sentence by sentence. According to a certain law, it can be restored little by little. The letter was very long, and it seemed that Grandpa Tai knew that by the time Shen Yuan's generation and the inheritance of the jade connoisseur had appeared, there had been a gap. It is true that the two brothers of the grandfather's generation did not have the instinct to awaken the jade connoisseur. Grandpa Tai disappeared early, the two brothers had limited knowledge, and Shen Yuan's grandfather passed away early. At this point, the incomplete inheritance has barely been passed on to Shen Yuan's hands. Today, Fang has revealed a trace of his true face.

The letter describes that the inheritance of jade connoisseurs is extremely long, and can be traced back to the ancient times. The era when medicine, witchcraft, and divination are one! When the Chinese ancestors began to use jade as a sacrifice to communicate with the heavens and gods, the great witches and priests who presided over the ceremony. is already the ancestor of the jade connoisseur. After that, the land of China was turbulent, and after countless hidden tribulations, the Wumen Jade Master has been intermittently continuing the inheritance. It fell apart several times, and then re-established the Taoist system. Nirvana rebirth 、、、 the inheritance of the Jade Master has inheritors in all the sects and hundreds of schools, with the momentum of a sea and a hundred rivers, and the elephant is invisibly hidden in the court and the field. He is proficient in ritual sacrifices, praying for blessings and peace of mind, and even has the means to change the fate of the country! However, the Xianzong lineage completely disappeared at the end of the Han Dynasty. The Shenyuan line is a line of hidden sects that was barely passed down in the late Tang Dynasty. The inheritance of the main vein talent and the arch guard of the remaining veins in the clan have also been up and down for thousands of years. But tenaciously survived. In the letter, Grandpa solemnly handed down the door rules: 1. Don't do anything about the country. Second, do not disturb the way of heaven. Third, it does not hurt the harmony of the sky. Fourth, do not lead the army. Fifth, do not change the fate. 6. Conscience and good deeds.

The letter left by Shen Yuan's great-grandfather when he was in his twenties was like a request for the future. He taught the descendants who opened the altar, and also explained a lot of what he had seen and heard in the world. A brief introduction to each secret lineage and sect. Finally, explain to the descendants that the side branch of the jade connoisseur's guard should not be forcibly searched for if it has disappeared. Future generations should keep their original intentions and maintain their inheritance when they walk in the world, and they should not delve into the way of heaven、、、

After thinking for a long time, Shen Yuan put down the letter and put away half of the secret book. He picked up the black and reddish wooden seal again. The seal is a rectangular shape with a lying green ox carved on the top. The mottled shell is so thick that it is barely woody. The inscription at the bottom should be a Taoist talisman, which is complicated and complicated, and Shen Yuan does not recognize it. After carefully identifying it for a long time, Shen Yuan felt that this should be a Taoist magic weapon. It is very likely that it was carved from lightning strike jujube wood, and the top wooden magic vessel is likely to be carved from lightning strike jujube wood for thousands of years! Instilling the mana with the blessing of the mana by the existence of the Daomen Grandmaster, it is the inheritance of the Daomen, and it is very precious. In the letter, Grandpa Tai instructed future generations to collect the wooden seal, and said: There are three sides of the wooden seal, which comes from the Qingcheng Mountain Gate in Shuzhong. In addition to the magic of suppressing demons and driving away evil spirits, the three seals have three kinds of magical powers: peace of mind and soul fixation, exorcism and soul protection, and thunder light to kill evil spirits! This square wooden seal is the seal of the law of exorcism and protection of spirits, also known as the green ox seal. Descendants should properly collect, wait for the opportunity to visit the Qingcheng Mountain Daotong in Shuzhong with the seal, and you can ask for the other two spiritual seals, or you can return this seal. Everything depends on chance, and you can't force it、、、

"Give it back to others for nothing? It's easy for grandpa to leave something good, and the ghost will return it! It's good to keep the town house to ward off evil spirits. It's really not good, find the Taoist inheritance of Longhu Mountain and Laoshan Mountain, sell it well, and the price is not bad. Shen Yuan muttered to himself, and put the seal directly into the inner pocket of his mountaineering suit.

At dusk, the lamas in the back mountain finished their complicated and solemn rituals and returned to the monastery. Lama Teanga invited Shen Yuan to the monastic house for a meal together, and Shen Yuan happily went.

Still sitting on a high futon, but with a small table with high legs in front of him. There were a few items of food on display. The indispensable butter tea, tsampa dumplings, a few fried pasta, and a bowl of sugar-mixed tomatoes on Shen Yuan's table! Lama Dan said to Shen Yuan with a smile: "The food in the temple is coarse, don't be surprised. This red fruit was specially sent to you by Ngawang! ”

"Thank you, Master, for your hospitality." Shen Yuan was polite on his lips, but he was a little slanderous in his heart: they all said that lamas do not avoid meat, and there are no hard dishes such as roasted whole sheep and roast beef for this guest to be served、、、

"Hehe, Mr. Shen, I will also call you this according to the name of Ling Zu in the temple in the early years!" Lama Danga said.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! The master still calls me Xiao Shen! I can't call the word sir. Shen Yuan was taken aback, such a respected lama called him sir, which really made him feel a little red-faced.

Lama Dangai shook his head lightly and said, "Ling Zu and your ancestors of the past have walked the world, entered the Tao with jade, and done many good deeds. He once had a good relationship with the inheritance of various mountain gates, running around for the people's good faith, and suppressing demons and exorcising evil spirits without asking for anything in return. In each department, he is known as Mr. Since you have inherited the mantle of your ancestors, I should treat you with respect! ”

"The master is serious." Shen Yuan suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. It seems that some of the past events roughly mentioned in Grandpa Tai's letter still have some weight in the eyes of the world's Daomen. And the great lama seems to know the contents of the grandfather's relics、、、 looking for himself to the temple, it seems that there is still a secret in it! His ancestors should have done a lot of thrilling things, so that the various mountain sects secretly respected his lineage. But as everyone knows, in his generation, not to mention that he is alone, the earth-shattering ability of his ancestors has long been lost、、、

"This time, Mr. Xun Shen came over in a hurry, and the aura of the two jade artifacts was getting heavier. Often provoke some spiritual objects to wander in the back mountain at night, and the temple is clean. I was a little troubled, and I knew the instructions left by Ling Zu、、、 so I sent someone to visit you carefully. In addition、、、 four months ago, a man came to visit me. Although it is not explicitly stated, the implication is that he wants to ask the temple for it、、、"

The old lama's words almost made Shen Yuan bite his tongue!

"What do you mean? And the one who cut off the beard? 、、、 Shenyuan's heart churned、、、 who is this person? What do you want to do? Did he come for these two wrenches or for the inheritance left by his grandfather? Shen Yuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the big lama without speaking, the big lama must have something to say about it.

Lama Tanga took a sip of butter tea, and then said, "The person who came does not seem to have any ill intentions, and I asked him about his identity." He only said that he had a relationship with Ling Zu and wanted to take a look at Ling Zu's relics. If he could give them as gifts, he could even find a way to bring back a few Tibetan tantric relics that had been scattered overseas for the monastery、、、"

Shen Yuan's mind immediately flashed the names of some famous sacred relics of Tibetan Buddhism overseas--- the Tiantie ritual vessel collected by a museum on the other side of the ocean, as well as a nine-eyed pure dzi, the tantric human skin scriptures in the hands of several European collectors, and the eight treasures of the conch、、、 which are extremely rare Buddhist treasures. Its value cannot be measured by the price of an ordinary work of art! The other party has so much energy, but why didn't he directly dig out the jar?

The Grand Lama seemed to see a little doubt in Shen Yuan's heart, and said with a smile: "Although the temple doesn't have any very good means for Lingyu, it still has the confidence to protect his own demon suppression pagoda. This is a snowy plateau、、、 not everyone dares to come and take it without telling you. ”

Shen Yuan knew that it was true that the great monks and lamas of the Minzhu Linhou Temple in the past dynasties were all powerful people who subdued demons and eliminated demons. And in this snowy plateau where all the people are believers, if they use means, there really is no force that dares to be presumptuous here.

"Thank you master for protecting the ancestral relics for the kid, and I will remember this feeling." Shen Yuan was grateful from the bottom of his heart at this time, if it weren't for the letters left by his grandfather in this small jar, he would have almost never even known about his own inheritance.

"It's nothing, the ancestors of your lineage have a deep relationship with Buddhism on the plateau. This is the way it should be. Lama Dan's tone was light, but Shen Yuan could feel the kindness expressed by the Grand Lama.

A dinner, a deep conversation. Shen Yuan knew a lot about the affairs of his ancestors, as well as the past of the Jade Connoisseur and the various mountain sects in the world. The heritage of this ancient temple is indeed extraordinary, and the hidden sights and stories that have been recorded and handed down are even more diverse and detailed. Late at night, Shen Yuan said goodbye to the great lama and returned to the monk's house where he lived. The little novice, who had been with the great lama, came out to see off the guests, and Shen Yuan saw two sturdy lamas happily walking into the monk's house on one side, saying something in Tibetan as they walked. Shen Yuan asked Xiao Shami curiously: "Little Master, what are they talking about so happy?" ”

Xiao Shami said casually: "They said that there is no need to go to the back mountain to guard the tower now, the eccentric things cry wolves all night long, and it is really annoying、、、

"、、、、 、、、、?" Shen Yuan suddenly became a little hairy. Could it be that this jade wrench really can't attract ghosts and monsters?

Fearfully returned to the monk's house where he lived, Shen Yuan hurriedly took out two jade wrenches. After a long time, the two wrenches seemed to be familiar with Shen Yuan, and there were no longer strong fluctuations. Like two quiet children, the glittering glow seemed to be quietly observing Shen Yuan.

The jasper wrench finger is slightly thicker, and the color is dark green and almost black. There are cotton wool-like impurities in it, no cracks, but there are some subtle bumps and scratches, and there is no color. Feel it, Shen Yuan felt that this jasper wrench seemed to have some emotion, looking at him curiously. It's a little interesting、、、 Shen Yuan picked up another white jade wrench, and the wrench carcass was slightly thinner. There is a small bump at the chamfer on the bottom edge, which is a little damaged. Calm down, Shen Yuan tried to communicate with them with strange senses.

"Gross! 、、、 "almost instantly! Shen Yuan felt as if he had been stabbed in his head with a red-hot stove hook, and his whole body seemed to faint in pain. The stomach and intestines are cramping! A large mouthful of undigested food squirted out、、、

"What's going on? I went to 、、、 and I wanted my life! Shen Yuan fell on the bed, his face was full of sour gastric juice, and the whole person was still convulsing for 、、、a long time before he could barely recover his strength. But even if this virtue is achieved, the two wrenches are still pinched in his hands and not thrown out. Shen Yuan raised his hand weakly and wiped his face, and then looked at the two wrenches held in his other hand: "What do you two mean?" You know that I'm a member of the Shen family, revenge, right? What's the matter, it's better to go with me and be comfortable in the mouth of a demon carrion? ”

The two jade wrenches suddenly gave Shen Yuan a hard blow, and then suddenly reined in and quieted down. There is just a trace of fluctuation that resonates with Shen Yuan's spiritual power. It seems to be a little cringe.

"It's not a mortal thing, and it seems that I really can't use this ability on them casually." This was actually the first time that Shen Yuan had concentrated all his spirits and tried to communicate with a psychic ancient jade. Previously in antique markets, museums and the like. Shen Yuan had also tried to perceive ancient jade with his spirit, but he just wanted to explore the age of jade. He found that the older the ancient jade perceived, the more there was an indescribable pleasant feeling, and then there would be a faint trace of joy, anger and sorrow coming out of the ancient jade. He was able to perceive and perceive Gu Yu's faint emotional changes, even the approximate age of the product. But、Never really tried to communicate with Jade。

Shen Yuan, who played Dafa this time, slowly got up and cleaned up the vomit. Then he put the two ancestors back into the altar, thought about it and put the green ox seal in it. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the wooden board with the runes on the mouth of the altar、、、 then took out the family heirloom secret book he was carrying and the half of the secret book left by his grandfather in the altar and put it on the table, and glanced at the altar viciously: "Wait! Let's see that the master will clean up the two of you after learning the family heirloom methods! ”

Shen Yuan, who had been fighting all night, had two dark circles under his eyes, and his whole face was almost like running out of oil and the lamp. Glancing out of the already bright window, and then looking back at the two ancient books and transcribed notes on the table, Shen Yuan showed a strong look of pride. After fighting all night, I finally got 、、、、、、 page! Looking at that page of notes, Shen Yuan turned to have a feeling that he was about to vomit blood! "Others cheated on my father, I was cheated by my grandfather who I never met!"

The clues left by Grandpa Tai are really pitted, with four sentences and their awkward formulas. Find out the corresponding beginning and end words of each paragraph, and then determine the number of pages according to the number of strokes of the text in the order of the formula, determine the paragraph in the order of the text of the formula, and then divide the position of the text by dividing the multiple of the number of strokes at the beginning and end of the formula and each word in the next volume, and then calculate and confirm in the opposite way whether it was deliberately placed upside down in the previous volume、、、 poof、、、 Shen Yuan thought about it for a while, and he felt like he was going to vomit blood、、、 it was too pit!

A one-page secret book is estimated to be something like an outline and catalog, and it is estimated that it will not even be able to enter the door. Shen Yuan hung his head and picked up the notes on the first page that he had just arranged that he thought were 'titles, introductions, and table of contents' and studied them carefully, and he was still wondering maliciously in his heart: Could it be that the first sentence is what it is: If you want to practice this skill, you must first 、、、 from the palace.

Shen Yuan, who had read it carefully several times, put down his notes and pondered quietly. : Well, there's no such thing as 'if you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace', but the catalog lives up to its name! It's almost all guidance. The name is very mysterious and terrifying, and the methods are all behind、、、 Shen Yuan looked at the jar that had been dormant all night without any movement. Threatened: "Huh! Scared, right? Defending Jade, Dingyu, Qiyu, Sacrificial Jade, Broken Jade, Requiem Jade, Fixing Soul Jade, Soul Slashing Jade, Zhen Ling Jade, Spirit Array Jade, Absolute Array Jade, Thunder Light Jade, Nine Shadows Jade, Huangquan Jade, Dead Jade Talisman, Raw Jade Talisman, Seven Peerless Jade Talisman、、、 Let's talk about it! How can I refine the two of you? 、、、 "Although the master can't do anything now、、、 sooner or later, the two of you will have to obediently let the master do whatever he wants!" ”

Two wrenches:¥......&¥#¥@%&¥#......*(

Although he was in pain, Shen Yuan still felt that life had become promising. Thinking about it, go back and practice hard, and strive to fill the big hole dug for him by his grandfather as soon as possible! If you don't want to restore the infinite glory of inheriting the ancient witch high priest who made the king bow down, you must at least learn some means of self-preservation and wealth or personal charm! In addition、、、 grandfather disappeared inexplicably, is there any hidden secret? Grandpa's unspoken regrets, do you want to explore it yourself? How far can you go by practicing your own lineage on your own? Will there be inexplicable danger? 、、、

After breakfast, Shen Yuan went to bid farewell to Lama Danga. Lama Tanga did not make a deep continuation, and after retiring from the crowd, he had a secret conversation with Shen Yuan, and then called someone to find Ngawang.

While waiting for Ah Wang, Shen Yuan went to the cave in the back mountain alone and respectfully worshiped the three demon spirit towers. The three great lamas enshrined in it are truly worthy of respect! Then I went to the temple of the protector of the temple, worshipped, offered incense, and offered three butter lamps. Looking at the flames on the lit butter lamp gently swaying with the breeze in the hall, Shen Yuan clasped his hands together, but in his heart he was praying silently to his grandfather, who had never met: "Grandpa, my great-grandson has inherited your mantle today. Whatever this life is, you will abide by the precepts left by your old man. In addition, the great-grandson has a wish in his heart to find out the whereabouts of your old man. It's a good idea to bring your bones back to their hometowns. Revert to one 's origin. ”

When Ngawang saw Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan was standing alone in the courtyard of the Dharma Protector Temple, looking up at the white prayer flags in a daze. Ngawang walked over briskly, with a sincere smile on his dark face: "Tashi Delek! Brother Shen Yuan! I'm coming to pick you up."

"Oh! Ngawang and Tashi Delek Xiu [I also wish you good luck], I'm going to trouble you again. Looking at this honest Tibetan young man with a hint of cunning, Shen Yuan's heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Are you leaving?" Ngawang's style of action is as hot as ever.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Hmm! Let's go! I have already said goodbye to the Great Lama. ”

Ngawang took Shen Yuan's backpack, and the two of them walked silently to the mountain gate in front of the temple. There was silence all the way, only a faint Tibetan fragrance lingering in the air、、、、、、
