Although it was only speculation and there was no definite evidence, Huang Jingzhong himself seemed to be sure. After dinner, the two walked around the ancient town, slowly talking about the legend of the artifact.

This legend was heard by him in his early years from an old man surnamed Guo, who had long since passed away. And this legend is not as well-known as other legends. Only those old people surnamed Guo who are nearly 100 years old and have experienced the Qing Dynasty are likely to know something. Among them, the history can even be traced back to the Tang Dynasty Guo Linggong Guo Taishi.

The two of us sat down next to the big banyan tree, looking at the moonlight in the river, a little-known legend that Huang Jingzhong was telling.

Guo Linggong, formerly known as Guo Ziyi, participated in the martial arts in his early years and won different results, and was appointed as the chief of the left guard from the ninth grade. Since then, step by step promotion and hard work, Tianbao in March of the eighth year, promoted to the general of Zuo Wuwei, the military envoy of Hengsai, the deputy capital of Anbei, from the three products to the official position, and later changed to the Tiande military envoy.

In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, he concurrently served as the governor of Jiuyuan County, the envoy of the city of Xishou, the Taishou of Jiuyuan County, and the envoy of the right wing of Shuofang Jiedu. But not long after taking office, Guo Ling's mother-in-law passed away, and he returned to his hometown to keep filial piety for three years.

In November of the 14th year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Guo Linggong, who was in mourning, was called by the imperial court to go out to fight against the rebels.

Although Guo Linggong was not victorious in a hundred battles, he never made a big mistake until he was deprived of military rights in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty due to an abnormal defeat. In February of the second year of the reign of Emperor Zongqian of Tang Su, the rebel Shi Siming sent troops from Weizhou to aid An Qingxu. Arriving at the battlefield in March of the same year, Shi Siming led his army to engage Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, and others in the imperial court. The casualties on both sides were equal, and Lu Jiong (jiǒng) retreated with a wounded arrow.

Due to Lu Jiong's wounded and retirement, Guo Linggong led the army to fill the battle line and fight against the rebels. Who knew that on the day of the battle, the two military formations had not yet been arranged in place, when suddenly a strange wind blew, and the wind and sand were filled, the trees fell, and the sky was dark. The raging hurricane made the soldiers unsteady on their feet, unable to see the battlefield and their surroundings clearly, and could not continue fighting.

The worst thing is that such a vision caused people's hearts to shake and the morale of the army to be unstable. Sure enough, within a moment, the Tang army and the rebel soldiers began to throw away their armor and flee in all directions. Not long after, Guo Linggong led the remnants to retreat to Heyang. After this battle, Tang Suzong ordered Guo Linggong to stay in Tokyo (Jī), Shannan Dongdao, Henan Province and other provinces for the eastern capital.

Guan Junrong made Yu Chaoen, and he has always had a dislike with Guo Linggongsheng. After hearing the absurd war situation reported by Guo Linggong, he had a plan and took the opportunity to speak in front of Tang Suzong and impeach Guo Linggong's military power.

In May of the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Tang Suzong ordered Guo Linggong to return to Beijing, and appointed Zhao Wang Li as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and Li Guangbi as the deputy marshal to lead the Shuofang Jiedu envoy and military power of the original Guo Linggong.

Although he was deprived of military power, what Guo Linggong did not expect was that this opportunity also allowed him to spend his old age in peace. And it was also in this battle that Guo Linggong came into contact with that ancient artifact.

It is said that on the day of the collapse of the two armies, Guo Gong and his guards rescued a person on the periphery of the battlefield, who was already dying when he was rescued. When the man learned that the man was a general, he entrusted him with an artifact, and said that the strange wind on the battlefield was caused by this artifact.

There is no way to know more details about the conversation between the two, and later Guo Gong accepted the artifact and carried it with him. After retreating to Ha Duong, he sent his cronies to secretly send them to his ancestral hometown. Guo Linggong was loyal to the imperial court all his life, although as a general, he killed countless people. But he cares about the people of the world, and he can't bear the artifact to fall into the hands of thieves, and the lives will be ruined.

Legend has it that no matter how prosperous the Guo family was, he always carried that artifact, and as long as there was something in the rivers and lakes, there would be people who would move to their homes. The world has changed, and the vicissitudes of life.

It is rumored that this artifact was also brought to Huangyao Town in the Qing Dynasty, either because of the loss of heaven and earth aura, or because of the all-out war, people gradually forgot about the artifact, only Guo's family still has a little legend of the ancestors.

As for whether the artifact came to Huangyao Town, and where it was in the town, no one knows. Even the descendants of the Guo clan in various places only remember the legend, but do not know the whereabouts of the artifact.

Now even the legend has become little known, if it weren't for the relevant changes in the rivers and lakes this time, I am afraid that this matter would have dissipated into the complicated world like other secret things.

The so-called artifact refers to the magic weapon refined by the immortals with great magical powers. Its power is far from being comparable to ordinary magic weapons, and it is rumored to even contain mysterious magical powers. If there really is an artifact in the world, most of the cultivators in the world will want to have it.

After listening to Huang Jingzhong's narration, I had no doubts in my heart. A thousand years have passed since this incident, why do any monks now think of this artifact? Or did the monk who coveted the artifact never give up? Have you been secretly investigating the descendants of the Guo family?

Whatever the specifics, this is not something you should worry about now, just report what you see and hear. Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly sensed spiritual power fluctuations in my divine consciousness, and it seemed that someone was casting a spell from a distance.

With a thought, he stood up and said to Huang Jingzhong: "Master Huang, there seems to be a situation over there, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

"What's the situation? Let's take a look. Huang Jingzhong was interested when he heard this, and he also stood up and said.

The two left the ancient town and went east out of the East Gate Tower. We trotted all the way to the south of Zhenwu Mountain, where rice fields were on the right and dry land on the left.

At this time, spring has begun, and the fields have been filled with water, and it is estimated that the fields will be fertilized in the next few days. The dry land on the left has also been vacated for crops such as corn and soybeans.

I sensed that the man was supposed to be behind some large trees twenty meters in front of me, and the man had cast a spell to hide his figure, and I couldn't discern his appearance through my divine sense.

Huang Jingzhong and I approached quietly, and suddenly the man spoke: "Why are the two Taoist friends hiding? Are you thinking about some crooked brains? ”

"This is not your home, what does our behavior have to do with you, and besides, don't you come quietly in the middle of the night to this wilderness? Didn't you use some crooked brains? Xingzang was discovered, Huang Jingzhong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The man snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I didn't expect that the Mo family's affairs would attract cultivators like you to participate, do you really think that you can take shit luck?" However, this little brother's cultivation is not weak, and he still has some opportunities. ”

"What if I cultivate to a low level? The people of the Mo family and I are old friends. Huang Jingzhong was not angry.

"Morey knows you? Then you should know the details of what the Mo family did this time? The man softened and asked. But after a while, seeing that Huang Jingzhong didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something. The man said again: "Morey, together with the entire Mo family, spent so much money, is it really just to crack a painting?" If you know something, can you tell me about it? ”

Draw? What paintings? I wondered, didn't Huang Jingzhong say something about an artifact? How did it become a painting again? It seems that there is a hidden meaning in this. Huang Jingzhong pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"You won't be the opponent of the Mo family, right? What do you want to do about it? ”

"Humph! I don't want to talk about it. The day after tomorrow, Morey will naturally explain in public. After the man finished speaking, he used his body and left.

He just stood aside and didn't interject. And then the man was gone, and I asked, "Master Huang, he's gone." Do you know what he meant by the painting? ”

"Actually, I don't know about the Mo family, I just used his words just now." Huang Jingzhong said with a smile, and then the two walked towards the ancient town again. I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Huang Jingzhong continued: "It seems that the painting should be related to the artifact hidden in the town, and the person just now also said that Morey will explain it in public the day after tomorrow, and it seems that he will go to Mo's house to have a look." ”

"Does Master Huang really know Morey?"

"Haha, it's kind of acquaintance!"

That night, we both stayed in the same hotel. Since talking to the Fufeng Dao people, my cultivation has made some breakthroughs again. And he also began to transform into Nanzhu and lakes in the realm of yin consciousness.

I already have a plan in my mind, about the scene in the realm of yin consciousness. I plan to transform into a Tai Chi realm like the Dharma weapon that Master gave me. Take the four images of the innate gossip as the picture, the sun is the mountains and rivers seen, and the Shaoyin is the circular waterhole; Taiyin is a large lake, and Shaoyang is the existing island.

The four images of innate gossip and acquired gossip are not the same, they all start and end with their respective yin and yang positions. For example, in the congenital gossip, the sun yang fish is on the left, and the four trigrams on the left are yang. And the head of the yang fish is on the top, facing the dry position.

The Taiyin Yin Fish is relatively on the right, and the four hexagrams on the right are Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. Similarly, the head of the yin fish is below, facing the Kun position. And the direction is still according to Qiannan and Kunbei.

The gossip of the day after tomorrow is from the south and the north. Yin and yang are not chaotic, and the yang side is dry, kan, gen, and shock. The yin side is Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. The yin and yang fish are also drawn in this order and direction, and they are not arranged randomly.

The innate Fuxi gossip was the first to appear, and it represents the macrocosm of heaven and earth. The gossip of the later astronomical king represents all living beings. Usually the gossip used in Taoist temple architecture is generally the innate gossip.

And the gossip drawn on the fortune teller's hexagram stall is supposed to be the gossip of the day after tomorrow. And now I see that many renovated Taoist viewpoints, or feng shui fortune telling, are not only born and acquired, but even the gossip map is wrong.

It's okay to make a mistake in the nature and acquire, but it's not good to get the gossip map wrong. Having said that, although there is no rule that you must draw according to the innate gossip or the acquired gossip, if you make a mistake, it will only make those who understand sigh helplessly and shake their heads, and let those who don't understand misunderstand.

After a night, breakfast is served in the ancient town in the morning. After wandering around for a while, he and Huang Jingzhong went to the Mo family he had just heard. In fact, the distance is not far, and in less than ten minutes, I arrived in front of an old courtyard.

Seeing that the door was open, the two walked in. Standing in the yard, it was not good to go into the house, Huang Jingzhong shouted: "Is Morey at home?" Then a familiar voice was heard.

"Who is it? Find me... Ay! It's you, Feng Yiyun. It was Mo Pingping who walked out of the hall, and when she saw me, she said unexpectedly.

"Pingping, don't be rude. Who is looking for me? The next thing that came out was the middle-aged man I had met before, Mo Pingping and her father.

Mo Pingping didn't care what her father said, and still looked at me with a smile. Huang Jingzhong on the side arched his hand and said: "In Xia Huangjing, I have had a relationship with you, I don't know if you remember?" ”

Morey raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, come in and sit down." Pingping, go make tea. Mo Pingping said "oh", walked out of the door and went to the side of the kitchen.

The three of them sat down, and Morey asked, "Is Huang Daoyou here to participate in the painting meeting?" ”

"Haha, just to see it. Huang hearsay, but he is not clear about the details, can Senior Mo elaborate? Huang Jingzhong asked directly.

Morey's cultivation is slightly inferior to his own, and when he heard Huang Jingzhong go straight in, he glanced at me. Then he still smiled and said: "This is not a big deal, recently Mo found an ancient painting in the antique market, and found that there was an interesting puzzle hidden in it, so he invited three or five friends to study it." ”

"Senior Mo, have I heard that you are willing to spend a lot of money to understand this puzzle?"

"Yes, although it was a joke at first, the puzzle in the painting did bother me for a long time, and it would be a good thing if it took something outside of me to solve it." Morey raised his eyebrows again and said lightly.

"Oh! Then Huang is going to give it a try, I don't know how much Senior Mo will bid for the person who unlocked it? ”

"Not much, just half a million."

When Huang Jingzhong heard this, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and then he said, "Oops! Senior Mo is really generous, Huang thought it was just a hundred thousand, it seems that my vision is too low, my vision is too low. ”

"The puzzle of this painting is not ordinary, it is completely worthy of the price of 500,000 land, and even more is not exaggerated!" Morey said with a smile on his face, when Mo Pingping walked in with a teacup in one hand and a thermos in the other. There was also a woman behind him, who said as she entered the door.

"Son, his father, he doesn't say a word when he comes to the house, just let Pingping bring tea." As he spoke, he put down the dried fruits he had brought in his hand, including peanuts, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and raisins.

"It's that I can't think about it, come and eat as many as you like. By the way, your name is Feng Yiyun, right? Morey digressed and asked me.

"Yes, Senior Mo." I laughed and said that I didn't mean to touch the dried fruits.

"What does Brother Feng do?" He grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and knocked them up.

Mrs. Mo put down her things and said, "Let's talk slowly, Pingping and I will go to the back first." Then the two of them left the hall, and Morey just waved his hand and looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"I don't have a job yet." As soon as these words came out, Huang Jingzhong, who was sitting on the side, glanced at me, eating raisins in his mouth. And this action, of course, was also seen by Morey on the other side.
