Chapter 55: Zhao Gongming's apprentice
Seeing the scene of these transparent chains in front of me, I finally knew why Chen Jiugong never left the scope of the jade coffin, it was not that he was so capable that he disdained to take down everyone with a move, but he really couldn't do without the scope of this coffin, just one step away, the chains behind him had already pulled the skin on his back up, and the red sealing charm burned him all over his body to black smoke.
Chen Jiugong was obviously a little anxious when he saw that I didn't say a word, and he said with a painful face: "God-given little friend, can you help me get out of trouble first?" I can feel that there are many people and horses above, and with the limited amount of mana that I can use with my body, these people will not be in a coma for long, and the situation will be complicated and troublesome after a while. ”
I turned to look at Liu Lang, he didn't seem to have anything to say, and motioned me to do everything according to my wishes. Judging from his attitude, I can probably analyze the relationship between my master and Chen Jiugong, it is definitely not an ironclad best friend, I am afraid that he asked me to come in order for me to have a good fate. In fact, it's right to think about it, whether it is the person who sealed Chen Jiugong in the first place, or Chen Jiugong himself, this bureau is not incomplete.
From the appearance of this tomb, to the design of the upper and lower floors, the appearance of the Python and the bronze armored corpse, the weak water at the birth gate, and the phantom array assisted by the entire tomb. All of this is interlinked, first inducing people's greed, and then going to the main tomb to see the baby fighting, and finally inspiring the darkest greed and anger in everyone's hearts, it can be said that even if I don't come, Chen Jiugong can get out of trouble smoothly. On the contrary, it is because of my existence that there have been so many changes.
But at the same time, my mind is full of questions, and the seal is generally afraid of people escaping. And how did the people who sealed Chen Jiugong provide him with so much convenience to get out of trouble? The design of the ancient tomb, the existence of the corpse scoop, and the existence of the bronze armored corpse were obviously put in before the sealing seal of the tomb was formed. is simply preparing for Chen Jiugong's escape, so why did he seal him in the first place?
I couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, so I simply asked Chen Jiugong: "Senior, since I came to the rescue on the order of the master, it also proves that you and I are destined, but I have a lot of confusion in my heart, I don't know if my predecessor can answer the maze for me?" Don't worry, the people in my lobby have already been arranged, and no one can get down until I give orders. ”
It's not that I'm overflowing with curiosity, but I want to know what really happened in the first place, and to put it bluntly, I want to prove what my master's purpose is through all the clues I can collect. With his ability, why should he go down the mountain and catch me as a ground horse? After I finished asking this sentence, I peeked at Liu Lang without a trace, I thought he would interrupt to stop me from asking, but what I didn't expect was that he still didn't say a word, since he interrupted Chen Jiugong to talk about the topic of the eldest prince, it seems that nothing else matters. Is this a conspiracy?
"In that case, you ask." Chen Jiugong suddenly calmed down and said with a smile: "I can feel that what you said is true, there are many animal fairies on it. It seems that you won't let me out easily if you don't probe my old roots. Sure enough, he is old and fine, and it seems that his previous anxiety was all faked.
I clenched my fists and smiled, and asked noncommittally, "Senior Chen, can you tell me about your identity?" Also, who are you sealed here? And why did he seal you? "Actually, I wanted to ask him how he met my master and what was their relationship before. But because of Liu Lang's presence, it is not good to ask such a question.
"Hehe, which cultivator doesn't have three calamities and nine tribulations, even if he is already an immortal who has been ranked in the immortal class, there are all heavenly and human blessings and five decays, not to mention those of us who have not proven the fruit of heavenly immortals? The reason why I was trapped by the disaster for 3,000 years was entirely because I caught up with the era of nightmares for cultivators, the Xiqi rebellion, and the war of the gods! ”
Chen Jiugong's words were filled with heavy unwillingness and embarrassment, his answer simply shook my heart, he actually experienced the battle of the gods? How can it be? In addition to the fact that a large part of my understanding of the Shang and Zhou dynasties comes from the Romance of the Gods, I used to regard this book as if it was my master told me that Xu Zhonglin was his landhorse, and I gradually believed in the authenticity of this book. However, it is clearly written in the Romance of the Gods that the two factions involved in that war, except for those who were beheaded and canonized as gods, were those who became immortals with their military achievements or sanctified in the flesh.
This Chen Jiugong actually said that he had experienced the battle of the gods, so how could he still survive in the world? In addition, all the descriptions I know about that war are all martial kings and merchants, conforming to the way of heaven or something. This Chen Jiugong actually said that Xiqi was making trouble, so he didn't run away as a person in the sect. So is he really involved in the war? Or is it the same as the immortal families in the Northeast, just ordinary sectarian disciples, who said that they had experienced the battle of the gods in order to raise their own worth?
You must know that these two possibilities definitely mean different meanings, for example, the war of interpretation is like two factions at war, and those who are personally involved in this war will definitely be dealt with after defeat. Just like the group of gods who beheaded the gods, the kind of gods and those who have made immortals by expounding their teachings are definitely different. Those who belonged to the defeated faction and did not participate directly were exiled after the defeat. It's like the sectarian disciples who wandered all over the world, such as the later Southern Wenmi Sect and the Northern Horse Immortals.
I forced me to calm down and asked him, "My predecessor didn't say what your identity was at that time, who sealed you, and why did you seal you?" ”
Chen Jiugong looked at me in a daze for a long time, as if he was a little hesitant. Also, the sectarian disciple is originally a very embarrassing identity, especially his identity belonging to the remnants, once his real name is revealed, what awaits him may be the fierce pursuit and catastrophe from above.
I felt that my question was a little difficult for a strong man, and just as I was coughing lightly and preparing for the next topic, Chen Jiugong suddenly smiled at the sky: "Let's go, since Xiaoyou asked, from your master's point of view, you can't harm me." I am a disciple of Marshal Zhao Xuantan in Luofu Cave of Mount Emei, when Wen Taishi crusaded against Xiqi, set up ten unique formations in front of the pass, when the ten unique formations were not guaranteed, my master was invited out of the mountain, that battle, respected the teacher even injured five of the twelve golden immortals, how majestic? ”
The more I listened to him, the more I felt that this Zhao Xuantan was a little familiar, and I was shocked to find out in the end, wasn't he talking about Zhao Gongming? This Marshal Zhao is really a ruthless person in the Romance of the Gods. Righteous anger, in order to get out of the same door at the expense of their own lives, often gambling with others is a blow must be hit, it can be said that the consciousness of striking first is super good.
At the same time, I finally remembered who Chen Jiugong was, the book said that Zhao Gongming had two apprentices, one was called Yao Shaosi, and the other was this Chen Jiugong. This Chen Jiugong made the double sword contribute a lot in front of the formation. Later, Lu Zhudao people came out of the mountain and worked together with Jiang Ziya to plot against Zhao Gongming with the nail-headed seven-arrow book. Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi went to Zhou Ying to grab books in order to save their master, but they were caught up by Yang Jian and Nezha. Chen Jiugong was killed by Yang Jian. After his death, he was named the fortune messenger in the god of wealth on the list of gods.
In the book, it is said that Chen Jiugong has been beheaded and canonized as a god, how did he appear in this tomb? After thinking about it, I still felt that it was better to ask directly, although it might anger Chen Jiugong, but after all, whether he can get out of trouble now depends on whether I allow it or not, so I asked him: "As far as I know, weren't you killed by Yang Jian at the beginning, and finally your soul flew to Fengshentai?" Why was it sealed in this tomb? ”
Chen Jiugong was obviously stunned when he heard this, looked at me in surprise, and asked, "Have you heard of me?" Who are you listening to about these things? ”
I said in my heart that sure enough, even if Xu Zhonglin is my master's former ground horse, it seems that there are still a lot of fictional elements in his Romance of the Gods. The characters in the book who were on the list of gods were buried underground for 3,000 years, and this discrepancy is too big.
I smiled and scratched my head: "There was a book in that later life, called the Romance of the Gods, and my understanding of your period was also derived from this book. ”
"Oh?" Chen Jiugong raised his eyebrows: "Now that such a book is still allowed to circulate?" The person who wrote this book was very bold, and the plan was not small. ”
Hehe, I said in my heart that if you know that the person who wrote this book is my master's original earthma, and this book also appeared at the behest of my master, I don't know how you should feel. At the beginning, because of the appearance of this book, it provoked a hundred years of war between the earth immortals and the heavenly court, and countless immortal souls of the earth were scattered, not to mention, my master also separated from the third master Hu, resulting in the current immortals being divided into two factions, the Dharma Protector Sect and the Earth Immortal Sect, and even my master almost broke the barrier of the blood basin bitter realm, which is equivalent to the outbreak of a nuclear war in the world.
Instead of continuing to think about it, I asked him, "So who sealed you here?" Why do you want to seal you? Also forgive me for asking a transgression, according to my observations since I entered the grave. I have found that the person who sealed you has taken too good care of you, and his arrangements in this tomb are simply prepared for you to get out of trouble today. I don't understand why he sealed you and laid out a weak water for you to take away your flesh and a phantom array to confuse the tomb robbers. ”
At this time, I was a little impatient, so I simply asked everything I wanted to ask in one go. This Chen Jiugong is like a senile dementia patient, I have asked the same question several times, he always says two sentences and falls into memory, is it not good to wait for you to go out and slowly reminisce? You were still in a hurry to go out just now, and you were afraid that it would be difficult for people from outside to attack you, why is it that now I ask a word like squeezing toothpaste, squeeze it and say a little, hurry up and finish I'll let you out, and then let's go back to each house to find our own mother?
Chen Jiugong didn't seem to notice the impatience in my words, but he didn't talk nonsense, but simply replied: "The person who sealed me is my master!" ”
Zhao Gongming? Why?
