I was still thinking, and suddenly saw Zhuang Yu take out the blade from the point, and swiped it lightly on his fingertips, and the blood immediately came out, and before I could react, he smeared the blood on the blade of the shadow moon in my hand, and there was a change almost instantly. The blade turned red and hot, and I knew it was a sign of the Shadow Moon Spirit's awakening.

I yelled at Zhuang Yu: "What are you doing? It's not like your own body has no scruples, does it? ”

Grandma exclaimed, "What's the matter?" Master, you ...... body."

I only heard Zhuang Yu say: "I just doubted, but now it seems that it can be determined, he is really the Martial King." ”

Grandma looked at him with a frightened face, turned to prostrate on the ground again, and pleaded: "Master, please let Ah Xiao go, she can't wake up again, otherwise it will be a catastrophe." ”

I hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Grandma, what are you begging him for?" What does it mean that I can't wake up again? You always talk about fate, but what is my fate? But Aunt Mei, who had been silent next to her, suddenly spoke, but not to me and my grandmother, but to Zhuang Yu: "Island master, Ah Xiao's prediction ability has been formed, why not keep the status quo......"

"Heh, Han Xiaomei, do you also have compassion for Cheng Xiao?"

Aunt Mei retracted her words and bowed her head and didn't dare to say anything more. And Zhuang Yu turned his eyes to look at me, "I don't know what kind of magic you have, you can make the people around you turn their hearts to you, Cheng Qingping and Han Xiaomei have been with you for many years, and Wen Hao and Ning Yi have only known you for a few months, and they actually help you speak." Is it really ......?"

What is it really? He stopped halfway through his words, his eyes were complicated and unpredictable. After a while, he ordered in a low voice: "Han Xiaomei, you take Cheng Qingping out." I saw that my grandmother and Aunt Mei changed color at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Master! "Owner!"

But he was swept away by Zhuang Yu's eyes, and scolded him coldly: "Get out!" Neither of them dared to speak again, Aunt Mei lowered her head and stepped forward to help her grandmother, who seemed to be about to say something to me, opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, and finally drooped her eyelids in despair, and walked out with Aunt Mei.

There were only me and Zhuang Yu left in the room, and all of a sudden there was silence, and the atmosphere became more stagnant than before. Zhuang Yu glanced at me and said, "Follow me." With that, I walked back, and I stood still, looking at his back suspiciously.

He walked a few steps and noticed that I was not following, stopped and looked back at me and said, "Don't you want to know what your fate is?" The answer is in the back, what, scared? ”

I knew he was agitating, but I couldn't control my steps to move forward, because the topic of "fate" tempted me like a piece of cheese, and I didn't necessarily want to eat it, but I was desperate to find out what it was.

Zhuang Yu hooked the corners of his lips, turned around and continued to walk inside, as he entered the back room, looked around, except for the bare four white walls, there was nothing strange. I didn't see Zhuang Yu move anywhere, and suddenly the lights above his head suddenly turned on, and the tops of the four white walls slowly descended a huge picture scroll, a total of four, covering the entire wall.

Based on the Green Lake Ancient Mansion and my later experience in the Soul City, I became particularly sensitive to the picture scroll. At a cursory glance, you can see that the four paintings depict different characters in different scenes, but none of them are scenes I have ever seen. In particular, one of them seems to be painted with fairies, and the colors depicted are also paved with a very strong mythological atmosphere, soaring clouds and fog, surrounded by cranes and birds. The rest of the paintings have a normal countdown, as if telling the rise and fall of a country.

Zhuang Yu pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and tell you two stories." ”

I think it's inexplicable, why did he suddenly tell the story? After sitting down patiently, I listened to him speak slowly.

The first story is a mythological story, which is told about the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu, also known as the Xuannu, was originally the goddess of war in ancient mythology, and she was well versed in military strategy and magical spells. Because of her meritorious work in eliminating violence and calming the people, the Jade Emperor enshrined her as the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Nine Heavens Holy Mother.

In ancient times, there were many theories about Xuannu, one is that the legend is that she herself is a Xuanniao, and there was a saying that "the Xuanniao of Heaven's destiny descended to give birth to Shang", which means that the Emperor of Heaven ordered Xuanniao to give birth to Shang's ancestral deed. Before the Sui Dynasty, there was a work called "The Yellow Emperor Asks Xuannu on the Art of War". The book records in detail the story of the Nine Heavens Xuannu who appeared in the image of a human head and a bird to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou. This is the earliest record of the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

There is also a theory that the Nine Heavens Xuannu is derived from the "Heavenly Maiden". It is still the story of the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, according to legend, the Yellow Emperor invited the Heavenly Maiden to deal with the Fengbo and Yushi invited by Chiyou. In the end, the Heavenly Maiden helped the Yellow Emperor to achieve victory, and made the descendants become the descendants of Yan and Huang. The third theory is that "Nine Heavens Xuannu" should be "Nine Heavens Rennu", Rennu, that is, Emperor Yan's biological mother Ren Ji, who was born to Emperor Yan because of the head of the dragon, and has the daughter of the Chan family, with the surname Ren.

In short, the legend of the Nine Heavens Xuannu is varied, from the beginning of the Xuanniao, to the creation of the "Book of Heaven" to help the Yellow Emperor, and to the Spring and Autumn Period to help Yue die Wu, Sun Bin of the Warring States Period from Guiguzi got the Book of Heaven three volumes, the Eight Doors of the Dharma, the Six Spiritual Texts, this is what we later called the Qimen Dunjia. There are also many stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, all of which have been paved with a strong mystery.

When Zhuang Yu was telling this story, his eyes fell on the fairy picture on the wall, and he roughly understood that the character in the painting should be the Nine Heavens Xuannu he said. I haven't studied much of these myths, but I've heard some of them, and I don't understand what he meant by them. I thought he would explain it to me after he finished his statement, but after a pause, he went straight to the second story.

This second story is not the mysterious myth just now, but tells that more than 2,000 years ago, there was an ancient country on the shore of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan, which Sima Qian called "Dian Kingdom" in the "Historical Records".

Around 339 BC, the state of Chu wanted to expand its sphere of influence to the southwest, and sent the Chu general Zhuang into Yunnan. Soon, the Qin State destroyed the Ba State and the Shu State, and Zhuang Ji lost the connection with the Chu State itself, so "with its kings Yunnan, change to obey its customs to grow." "In 109 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the Dian Kingdom, and the King of Dian surrendered the whole country and invited the officials to enter the court. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the king of Dian the seal and ordered him to regain his people. After that, no less than 100 years later, this ancient country disappeared.

After listening to this story, I feel that the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Khitan nation have similarities, and they both suddenly lost their traces in history. Wait, Dian country, Dian Island...... There is a Dian character, so there is no connection between the two. Suddenly thought that the earliest king of Dian was also surnamed Zhuang, and he was suddenly ignorant, don't tell me that this Zhuang Yu is a descendant of the ancient Dian Kingdom, otherwise what would he do to tell me about the history of the Dian Kingdom? And what do these two stories have to do with my fate?

I couldn't bear it anymore, and frowned and urged: "Can you get to the point?" ”

Zhuang Yu smiled lightly, "The story hasn't been told yet, what's the hurry." After the power of the Dian State was swallowed up by the Han Dynasty, the country was bound to be divided, and the kings each held on to one city, and especially the King of Wu was the most powerful, although he occupied a small city, but it was solid, the reason was that his witchcraft was very high, and it was rumored that he had a divine weapon, that is, the blade of the King of Martial Arts to help him channel the heavens, and he asked for the help of the Nine Heavens Xuannu. Cheng Xiao, do you know what this martial king is called? ”

Hearing this, even if I was ignorant, I understood what Zhuang Yu wanted to express, and he actually didn't need me to answer, the word that was too familiar to be familiar anymore rolled through his mouth.

Yao.

I can't believe that the martial king in Zhuang Yu's mouth is obviously referring to the wizard depicted on the mural of Soul City, and Sheng Shiyao also said before that he has the memory of a wizard, which means that this martial king is likely to be his previous life. If we extrapolate from this, the ancient city was not a thousand years ago, but more than 2,000 years ago, a full thousand years later. Then, thousands of years later, when the Khitan tribe perished, was he reincarnated as a Khitan king? But since a thousand years have passed, how could this Shadow Moon Knife return to his hands again?

Could it be that the sorcerer also buried the shadow moon somewhere like the Khitan king, and then took it out when the Khitan king opened the memories of his previous life? Thinking about it, this is probably the only possibility.

But I don't believe in the legend behind me, saying that the shadow moon can reach the sky, and therefore invite the mythical Nine Heavens Xuannu to help, how can there really be such a thing? The reason why myths are myths is because some phenomena that people could not explain at the time were branded with mysteries and exaggerated elements, thus creating myths.

Suddenly thinking of something, I was shocked, could it be that the Nine Heavens Xuannu that Zhuang Yu said was that Ying Ning? She had prophetic powers, and it was indeed she who helped the wizard win that war, and I don't know if she won the victory with the help of the prophet, but it was exactly what Zhuang Yu said.

The slight changes on my face couldn't escape Zhuang Yu's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Did you think of something?" ”

"It's nothing, you haven't gotten to the subject yet, so what does it matter to me?" My intuition can't expose the matter of the wizard and Ying Ning, and I must not get the information I want, but be tricked by him.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if you don't sort out some things one by one, you won't be able to understand them."

"If you don't say it, how do you know I won't understand?" After guessing that the Xuannu he said was Ying Ning, I didn't have the patience to listen to him talk about the aftermath, I just wanted to know what he had to do with me when he brought me here.

Zhuang Yu didn't insist, his hand touched somewhere, put away the four paintings, and then a strange scene happened. I thought I was well-informed, and nothing would surprise me to the point of being dumbfounded, but when the wall in front of me slowly became transparent, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and be stunned.

When it was transparent to visible, I gradually understood the principle, this is not an ordinary wall, but a special material, relying on the principle of light, when the strong light is illuminated, it looks like a white wall, and the light is weak and shows its original appearance.
