Chapter 25: The Shaking of Kyushu

After telling the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, it was like unloading a heavy burden, and Pan Shou's whole person was much more relaxed.

Pan Lei and Pan Long looked at each other, and after a while, Pan Lei said tentatively: "Dad, haven't the ancestors of our family thought of handing over the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and reconciling with the emperor's family?"

Pan Shou sneered, but before he could answer, Pan Long shook his head first.

"This is not good! After so many years of hatred from everyone, how can it be said that reconciliation will be reconciled? If we agree, it is impossible for the emperor family to agree. Emperor Jiazi was angry with our ancestors back then!"

Pan Lei frowned and said, "When the ancestor died, the future generations will always have to live......

Pan Shou snorted heavily, and said angrily in a deep voice: "What are you thinking nonsense! Reconciliation? What qualifications does our Pan family have to 'reconcile' with the imperial family? For us, once our identity is exposed, the whole family will die, and even a chicken and a dog will not want to live! Do you still imagine that the imperial family can let us go after they get back the fragments of the Shan Hai Jing?"

Pan Lei hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed deeply: "That's right! Once our family is exposed, life and death will be in the hands of others." No matter what the emperor says, we can't reveal our identities, and we can't gamble on the lives of the whole family to gamble on other people's hearts!"

After speaking, he said very depressedly: "I really don't understand what our ancestors are thinking, even if Emperor Jiazi succeeds back then, our family will be at least one of the seventy-two earthly evils, less than the upper is at least more than the bottom, and the wealth and worry will be worry-free for thousands of years." What's so bad about that? Why would he sabotage Emperor Jiazi's plan?"

When Pan Long heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Dad, what you said is not right! Someone is the emperor, that is not a problem." But the emperor's family has been passed down for thousands of generations, and the ministers are all vassals, and the people are like ants...... The world is the world of the people of the world, and if you have the ability, you should sit in the country, and if you don't have the ability, you should get out. Relying on despicable means for thousands of years, no matter how perverse he is, he is not afraid of being overthrown, and he will never change the dynasty...... Then this world will end sooner or later! The ancestor's idea is right, not only can we not reconcile with the imperial family, but we must also fulfill the ancestor's last wish, destroy the Kyushu Great Array, and never suffer in the future!"

When he said this, Pan Lei sighed, but Pan Shou's eyes when he looked at his grandson were suddenly extremely kind, and his bandit-like old face was full of smiles.

"Xiaolong, you're right!" he patted his grandson on the shoulder and said happily, "So, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"What?!" Pan Long was taken aback and asked in a lost voice, "Why?"

"Because the fragment of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas is in your hands, it shows a magical ability that the ancestors of the Pan family have not been able to activate. Pan Shou said excitedly and with relief, "Obviously, you, like Emperor Jiazi back then, are the ones who can truly exert the full power of this treasure." You were born in our Pan family, and it is providence that tells us that the time has come to fulfill the last wishes of our ancestors. ”

"Our Pan family has been waiting for so many years, and we have been carefully hiding, waiting for an opportunity. And you are the 'opportunity' we have been waiting for!"

"It's not that exaggerated......"

Pan Shou laughed: "Xiaolong, grandpa told you two heart-wrenching words. The reason why Emperor Jiazi was able to sweep the world and open up the Great Xia Dynasty back then, the power of the Shan Hai Jing was very important. You can be like him and exert the true power of the Shan Hai Jing, so why can't you be like him?"

Pan Lei was also excited, and his eyes lit up: "That's right! Now that the Great Xia Dynasty has been declining, it is the time for heroes to rise and compete for the world, someone must always be called the emperor as the ancestor, why can't it be our family!"

Pan Long was stunned when he said this, and countless thoughts were tumbling in his mind, as if a volcano was about to erupt, but it was heavy and could not rise, and the feeling of excitement and depression was indescribably uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Daddy, you just ...... What are you talking about?" Pan Long asked in a trembling voice.

Pan Lei was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Someone has to call the emperor the ancestor, why can't it be our family?"

Pan Long's heart shook like thunder, and it suddenly brightened.

The sound of a landslide and tsunami roared in his heart.

(I came to this world, who stipulates that I can only be a rich man? I can only be a martial arts master? I can also go to the tide of fate to fight for a while! I can also fight, or I can ask 'the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs'!)

He never thought that he would have the opportunity to ask about the importance of the championship, and he never thought that he would be qualified to fight for who would die...... In his past and present lives, in his two lives combined, he is only a small tyrant at the county and city level, and he is too far away from this great goal, and it is simply out of reach.

But at this moment, when he thought about it carefully, he found that it was not necessarily very far away.

Just like Grandpa and Dad said, Emperor Jiazi can sweep the world with the power of the Shan Hai Jing and establish the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if he is inferior to him, he is at least qualified to go to the "tide of history" and meet the heroes of the world for a while.

Life is like this, only then can it be regarded as not walking in the world in vain, and it can be regarded as worthy of one's extraordinary encounter.

If...... Destiny is in my ......

He laughed happily and said loudly: "That's right! There are always people who call the emperor the ancestor, why can't it be me!"

Almost when the three generations of the Pan family were discussing in the underground secret room, another major event was also happening.

The imperial capital of Zhongzhou, the only city in the world named after "Emperor".

This castle is not located anywhere in the land of Kyushu, but floats in the air, hundreds of feet above the ground. In the past, when the Great Xia Dynasty was established, almost the entire Kyushu sorcerers were gathered, and everyone cast a spell together, breaking the sacred mountain from which Emperor Jiazi was born, floating upside down in the air, and flattening the mountain roots, and building the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty on it.

This capital city is full of talismans, and even a random stone on the ground is reinforced by spells. It can fly freely in the air, and usually stop above the "prayer platform" in the center of the Zhongzhou Plain, far away from the huge altar on the ground that is more than 100 zhang high.

It is strictly forbidden for idlers to enter the hundreds of miles around the prayer platform, and there is no forgiveness for violators. If outsiders want to enter the imperial capital, they must apply first, and after obtaining preliminary approval, they will temporarily live in Tongtian City for a period of time, and after repeated confirmation, they can finally take a flying boat to the divine capital. It often takes more than a year.

And in the imperial capital, Mo said that the slaves of all families, even the peddlers and pawns, have lived here for generations, loyal and reliable.

On a sunny and cloudless day, the mountain floating in the sky can be seen all over Zhongzhou. And climbing this sacred mountain and becoming a resident of the imperial capital is the dream of almost everyone in the land of Kyushu.

On the prayer platform under the holy mountain, one of the treasures of Kyushu is enshrined, the Zhongzhou Ding.

In the past, Emperor Jiazi swept the world and established the Great Xia Dynasty. He divided the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty into Kyushu, with Qingzhou in the east, Jingzhou in the south, Yizhou in the west, Jizhou in the north, Yangzhou in the southeast, Yunzhou in the southwest, Youzhou in the northeast, and Yongzhou in the northwest. The official name of the "Zhongzhou" in the center of Kyushu is "Xiazhou", but the people must avoid it, so they call it "Zhongzhou".

Among these nine states, each state has a prayer platform, and on each prayer platform, one of the nine tripods is enshrined. These nine treasures are not only a symbol of Great Xia's rule, but also the most powerful magic weapon in the world. Once its power is activated, it is easy to move mountains and seas. No matter what kind of treacherous and tyrannical person he is, even if he manages the nest into an impregnable wall, he only needs to borrow a trace of Jiuding's strength to crush him and his lair into powder!

And as we all know, even among the nine tripods, it is the Zhongzhou Ding, or the Xiazhou Ding, the most powerful.

But at this moment, the most powerful magic weapon in this Kyushu tripod was trembling slightly, and the eternal and inextinguishable light flame rising from the giant tripod was also a little uncertain. There was also a ringing like a bell, coming out of the giant tripod, spreading farther and farther.

Not only that, Jiuding, which is located in the rest of the states, is also vibrating slightly, making a sound and spreading all over the world.

One message after another was transmitted by spells, but in just half an hour, an order came out of the imperial capital and spread throughout the land of Kyushu.

Search for a scroll that looks broken, but the old bamboo slips that are difficult to be injured by knives and axes, and are difficult to invade by fire and water, all the officials, soldiers and civilians in Kyushu, as long as they can find the magical bamboo slips with strange characters that no one knows on this volume, and present it to the court, they can be canonized as a first-class Anle Gong, hereditary replacement, and get the Danshu iron coupon, and the descendants will have a major crime of rebellion in the future, and they can also offset it.

If someone discovers this treasure but does not report it, or obstructs others from offering it to the imperial court, or participates in the competition and destruction of this treasure, the nine clans will be wiped out!

When the Pan family received the summons of Zhencheng's spell, the three ancestors and grandchildren were eating in the quiet room where Pan Lei was recuperating from his injuries. They couldn't help but be a little shocked as they watched the rune bird in the air flap its wings and fly away after saying that.

After a while, Pan Lei said, "I'll go out and inquire." ”

"I'll just go. Pan Shou stopped him, "You have to concentrate on recuperating from your injuries now, and don't show your feet." ”

Half an hour later, he returned to the ashram and told him the details.

"Jiuding resonates, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, this array is really big enough!" Pan Long said with a smile, "I bet that within a few days, there will be a lot of all kinds of strange bamboo slips being offered." ”

"The words of the emperor's family can't even be believed in a word!" Pan Shou said coldly, "If it is a fake, it is a crime of deception and should be killed! If it is a genuine product, it will be a traitor, and it should be killed! Those who offer treasures, one is counted as one, except for the guise of individual arrangement, everything else is a dead end!"

Pan Long looked at his father, and Pan Lei also nodded slightly, agreeing with this judgment.

Pan Shou thought for a while, and said worriedly: "It can't go on like this! Jiuzhou Ding can actually resonate because the fragment of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas is activated by someone who can really exert its power, God knows if there will be a way to track down the fragment of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas with the help of Jiuding! Xiaolong can no longer stay in Dingfeng Town, he must leave as soon as possible!"

Pan Long was taken aback, but heard his father also agree: "That's right! But you must walk calmly, and no one can see the flaws." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a solution: "In this way, you leave with the caravan, just say that the family martial arts have reached a bottleneck, and you want to go to the rivers and lakes to see if you can have a chance." ”

"It's okay to go in this way, if you go in too haste, in the eyes of people with a heart, it is a weak heart. Pan Shou agreed with his son's plan and said, "After you go out, remember that no matter who you talk to, don't mention a single word about the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, even if you are with us!"

"Also, every time you enter it in the future, you must be in a different place, preferably far away. Pan Shou added, "No matter how powerful Jiuzhou Ding is, it is impossible to lock on to a target that moves every time." You must remember not to go in the same direction, but if you walk a certain way, you will change direction once so as not to be detected. ”

Pan Lei said again: "By the way, where Jiuding is located, you must not get close! The capital of Kyushu is your forbidden place from now on, it is best to hide away, no matter what, you can't enter, remember! Remember!"

Pan Long listened to his grandfather and father's analysis and suggestions, and nodded again and again.

He wasn't sure if the two elders were right, but they must have thought about him wholeheartedly. As a rookie, he should accept the advice of the two old rivers and lakes and do what they say.

In that case, he would have to leave after two or three days at most.

"Where do I go?" he asked.

"The caravan will not go to the Jincheng defense line, but will go south from Dingfeng Town to Yongdu City. Pan Shou analyzed, "You first walk with the caravan for a while, and then separate in Lantian City, head south, and go in the direction of Yizhou." When asked, you say that you are going to visit your mother at your grandfather's house. ”

Pan Long was taken aback: "Didn't my mother want to retreat for ten years without seeing her family in order to break through the innate realm? She has been in retreat for eight years, and if I go now, won't it be in vain to waste her eight years of hard work?"

His relationship with his mother Ren Yue is not as close as that of his father - after all, he was only eight years old when his mother returned to her parents' house for retreat, and he has not yet fully accepted the family relationship in this life. In addition, because of Ren Yue's cultivation of the Buddhist heart method "Wuxin Sutra", his personality is already relatively cold, and the relationship between mother and son can only be said to be okay, far less cordial and warm than the relationship between father and son.

But even so, he didn't want to get in the way of his mother's cultivation.

My father is already in the congenital realm, and he can live to be one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, if my mother can't step into the congenital realm, wouldn't it be a middle-aged widow to my father!

Pan Shou smiled when he heard this, and took out a piece of emerald green jade, on which there was a faint pattern of mountains and rivers.

"It's just an excuse, your 'real reason'...... This is a piece of jade I got when I broke into the rivers and lakes, and the pattern on it is somewhat similar to that of Yizhou Tiannu Gorge. You just said it was a treasure hunt. ”

“...... Is this really a treasure map?" Pan Long asked curiously.

"You just assume it's real. Pan Shou laughed, "This thing has been in my hands for almost thirty years, and I haven't been able to find any treasures, he has to have the ability to find it, count him as powerful!"

"With this as a cover, no one would have thought that the real treasure is actually not in the Heavenly Fury Gorge, but yourself. ”
