Seeing Ding Ming looking at me with caring eyes, he wouldn't think that I was his child.

I hurriedly took a step back and smiled awkwardly: "I'm from an authentic Qingshan Town, and it's also because of a coincidence that Zong Qingguan wants us to merge the Louguan Sect into the lineage, so I have the opportunity to go to Zong Qingguan." ”

Ding Ming smiled, continued to stare at me and said: "After the child was abducted, I investigated, but I didn't find any clues, but later I found out that Zong Qingguan, every few years, there will be little Taoist children to practice, some of them have the name of the Taoist temple below, and even have their own life history, but using the convenience of my identity as a reporter, later investigation, many of them are fake." ”

Seeing that he still didn't give up, I hurriedly explained: "My identity is not forged, I am my parents' biological child, if I don't cultivate the Tao, I may not have any connection with Zong Qingguan for the rest of my life." You don't doubt that I'm your child, are you? ”

Ding Ming suddenly showed a little excitement and said: "On the way here before, I heard Mr. Zhao tell me about your experience, and there is no reason to suspect that you are, but when I entered the Taoist temple just now, when you helped me pour water, I saw something that made me have to doubt, you are my child, and your life experience may also be fake." ”

I was a little puzzled, Su Xuanke is your child, how can it be me, but I can't say it, so I have to ask, "What is it?" ”

I saw Ding Ming suddenly stretch out his hand to me, I subconsciously dodged, but seeing that there was no malice in his eyes, I didn't flinch anymore, I saw him reach out and grab the rope tied around my neck, and pulled it out, and the one hanging below was the piece of jue jade.

This was left to Zhao Xiaoxue by the fairy girl.

I understand why he thinks I am his child, the fairy aunt is Xiao Qiao, Jueyu two pieces, a mother, and a child. I hurriedly took Jueyu off my neck and handed it to Ding Ming. Ding Ming took it in his hand, protected it in the palm of his hand, with tears in his eyes, and said: "This is Xiao Qiao's Jueyu, divided into two pieces, one for herself, and the other on the child, and you are the child." ”

I hurriedly explained: "I am not that child, this piece of jade was given to me by a person. ”

Ding Ming looked at me with suspicion, I wanted to say something about the fairy girl, but I still hesitated.

Ding Ming stared at me and asked, "Someone else gave it to you?" Is it a child your age? ”

I shook my head, knowing that if the words were spoken, he would definitely ask to the end, since the fairy Gu had passed away, I could tell a lie, so I said, "The person who gave it to me is an old woman, a little crazy." ”

Ding Ming asked excitedly, "Where is she?" ”

I hurriedly covered it up and said, "I don't know where it is, but I met it by chance, and she thought I was destined, so she gave me this piece of jade." ”

Unexpectedly, Ding Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Little Taoist, you are lying, Xiao Qiao will never give away this piece of jade, after the child leaves, this is her treasure." Unless..."

He paused, then continued, "Unless she's going to die." Speaking of this, his tears welled up, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm and asked, "Little Taoist, don't lie to me, tell me, where did you meet her?" Is she dead? ”

I hesitated.

Ding Ming suddenly knelt on the ground, Zhao Jie and I hurriedly pulled him, but he just couldn't get up, and cried to me: "I'm also old, time is short, I am also a mortal in this life, I don't have any big dreams, I just want to find Xiao Qiao and my child, please, tell me everything you know." ”

You and I are both ants, I have been trapped by the Gen organization for a lifetime, deceived by the ancestor master, deceived by the Taoist aunt, for Ding Ming in front of me, I don't want to deceive him again, and tonight's Qingshan Town, there will inevitably be results, I am likely to die here, what do I have to scruple about, people live a lifetime, but to pursue their own answers.

I can't give myself an answer, but I can give it to Ding Ming.

So, I told what I knew about Xiao Qiao being a fairy girl.

Ding Ming heard that his beloved was only in Zong Qingguan, not far away, and was imprisoned for the second half of his life, he sat on the ground, speechless, he cried silently, the corners of his mouth trembled from time to time, I don't know whether it was hatred or pity.

He covered the jade in his heart, and for a long time, Zhao Jie and I stood next to him, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Ding Ming finally came to his senses, handed me the jade, and said, "Since she gave you the jade before she died, now the jade is yours." ”

After speaking, he handed me the jade and struggled to stand up, Zhao Jie and I hurriedly reached out to help him to the chair, he leaned on the chair, as if there was no harm in supporting his body, he looked at me and said slowly: "I have long discovered the abnormality of Zong Qingguan, and this so-called immortal descent may be just a conspiracy of theirs, so I volunteered to come here from the city for an interview, I want to disclose the matter of Zong Qingguan." ”

It seems that he has indeed put a lot of effort into investigating Zong Qingguan, and maybe there are clues that are useful to me, I asked: "You said that Zong Qingguan sent people to Surabaya to inquire about Jiuding's whereabouts under the cover of tourism, do you know why they are looking for Jiuding?" It doesn't always mean that you like to collect artifacts, right? ”

Ding Ming shook his head and said, "I have investigated all the whereabouts of Zong Qingguan in recent years, and even called historical archives, and before I found out that Zong Qingguan, I had been secretly sending people to visit various places, as if I was looking for something. ”

Of course, I knew that I was looking for something, in order to find the hidden place, and asked, "But what does this have to do with Jiuding?" ”

Ding Ming looked at me and asked: "Do you know that Jiuding not only divided Kyushu, but also engraved the map of Kyushu on it, I speculate that they are looking for Jiuding, maybe for the map above, maybe the ancients found some secrets and hid the secret on the map of Jiuding." ”

Hearing this, it suddenly dawned on me that Jiuding was the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, and the map of Kyushu was engraved on it.

But in the past, on the handkerchief of "Nanhuaizi" or Pujia, it was said that there was no way to find the hidden land, so how could it be engraved on the tripod? Or, the ancients had a way, but the skills were lost, just like today's Tang Sancai, even with the current technology, it is difficult to imitate the ancient skills.

Just as I was still thinking, Ding Ming continued: "And over the years, through my investigation, I found that the people of Zong Qingguan would go to the east every few years, go to the sea, and go to the beach to worship. ”

"Worship by the sea? Zong Qingguan went to the seaside, thousands of kilometers, why should he go to the seaside to worship? ”

"Later, I went to the east coast, investigated the local county records, and interviewed fishermen, and finally concluded that Zong Qingguan went there, and after worshipping, he would personally hire a small boat, and when the storm came, he would set up a boat into the sea, and it would take half a month before he came out."

In this way, the worship is to go to Penglai Immortal Island.

I thought that was all he was investigating, but he suddenly asked, "Do you know what they worshiped before they went to sea?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "No wonder it's a sea god or a dragon king or anything like that. ”

Ding Ming shook his head and said, "No, what they worship is themselves." ”

Ding Ming is not talking nonsense, I can't help but confirm: "Themselves? How is it possible, it is not generally to worship the dead, why worship yourself. ”

Ding Ming said very seriously: "I thought it was a local fisherman's nonsense, but the locals said that there was once a thief who was about to sneak into the boat hired by the Taoist priest before going to sea, and saw the Taoist priest painting his portrait on the paper figure and writing his name, and burning it the next day. ”

I can't see that the Taoist priests of Zong Qingguan are quite good at playing, but I can't think of it, why do they do this, do they want to die when they go to sea? But they came back later.

Ding Ming continued: "And every time they go to sea, they use the same dilapidated port. People only saw them sail out, and after more than ten days, they would stop in the harbor, but no one saw when they returned, like ghost ships, without a trace. ”

This sentence suddenly reminded me, will it be that when you enter Penglai Island, it is not people who enter, but only souls?
