Chapter 500: The Story of Kui Laokun
"I was able to survive, thanks to the summons of Emperor Jiajing. However, after the death of the emperor, the Taoist method plummeted, and I was gradually intolerant. Day and night, I fear it. ”
After Kui Laokun said this, he was silent for a long time.
Although hundreds of years have passed, and although he seems to have become an extraordinary saint and an immortal in the eyes of ordinary people, the shadow caused by the malice of the past still seems to haunt him, and he can't mind.
Emperor Jiajing diligently visited the Tao to seek immortality, which made the world wither, and the people were not able to make a living. But as soon as the old emperor died, the enthroned Emperor Longqing was very unhappy with his father's behavior, he immediately stopped fasting, and sent a group of scholars trusted by Jiajing to prison.
For a time, the high-spirited and respected scholars in the Jiajing Dynasty became prisoners in prison.
Kui Laokun was too ugly back then, so he was not left by the emperor's side, otherwise he would definitely be imprisoned.
So after he returned to his hometown, although he had a false name among the people, the people of the family hated him all the time.
- The Kui family is the door of poetry, books, rituals and music, how can they be swaggering warlocks?!
Therefore, at that time, he was on guard against the poisonous hands of his relatives day and night......
If he doesn't find a way to protect himself, his ending may be no different from his previous out-of-phase ancestors. This is also the reason why he once traveled far away from home.
When he read Shi Yuangong's notes, he suddenly felt that the opportunity to change the fate of the Kui family fell on his shoulders......
"So, is your solution to steal the pearl, leave the Kui family, bury it forever, and then wait for it to run out of power?" Hua Hu asked.
Kui Lao Kun nodded frequently, and he continued to speak, and as he spoke, I translated his words into the current language and relayed it to Hua Huan, in case she was prone to shouting and claiming that she sounded struggling.
Because, I don't want to disrupt Kui Laokun's narrative.
- Exactly. My grandfather and I both believed that the reason why the Kui family had out-of-phase people was because of the influence of these three pearls. But as the descendants of Shiyuan Gong, we must not let it fall into the wrong hands. So I spent my life looking for a place to prepare the pearls to accompany until they ran out of oil.
"How do you know you'll always be with you? In the event of your death, won't the pearl be gone? Hua Hu asked again.
- Of course, I also thought it through, wanting to hide the leaves, hide in the deep forest. So, when King Huai came to me and said that he wanted to build a tomb for his younger brother, King Luqiu......
"You borrowed his tomb?" It dawned on me.
- Definitely. I had already discovered this cave, but I couldn't do it alone. Moreover, the feng shui caves in the world will always be found by people......
"Do you need to use the Tomb of King Deer Hill to make a superficial shell for your hidden pearl?"
- Indeed. In this way, even if the tomb robbers find the tomb of King Deer Hill, they will be confused by the gold, silver and jewelry in the cave, not to mention that there are tombs there, and the opening and closing of the tombs are also blessed by the divine power of the pearl. Even if ordinary people find this tomb, they may not be able to get out.
"What about the so-called Qimen Dunjia, which is engraved with the eight directions in the tomb?" I asked.
- I carved them later to confuse the world.
"Those monsters are also born of Mingzhu."
- Exactly. The power of the pearl can make people live longer, can make people multiply, and can make people tall and strong. In order to echo the doctrine of the Eight Gates, I arranged the four spirit beasts of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu in the four directions, and asked them to help guard the courtyard and wait for the tomb. In this way, this tomb has multiple insurances, and ordinary people can hardly find it. Until one day......
"You saw those eyes, didn't you?" Hua asked hurriedly.
- Exactly. From time to time, those eyes appeared in the illusion, and they felt close to me. I initially thought that this person was also a descendant of the Kui family, an out-of-phase, but later I found out that he was not. But in any case, he seems to have discovered Mingzhu's secret......
"And then?"
- I then used the power of the pearl to activate the mechanism of the entire tomb. At that time, I still had a trace of luck, that is, I thought that they would retreat after finding the treasure of King Huai and encountering the four beasts in the tomb. But I clearly misjudged the determination of those people......
Kui Laokun was completely prepared, but he didn't know that after hundreds of years, the earthly world had been turned upside down. All sorts of mechanical instruments that he had never seen before appeared.
In the past, the mechanism design of the tomb was almost invincible in that era, but in the 21st century, it may just be a paper tiger that scares people.
And what Kui Laokun didn't expect was that countless people poured in that day. They were not like the cautious tomb robbers, but they were fearless of the tomb, they went on a rampage, they killed indiscriminately, but to his relief, the group was only arguing about the treasures of the tomb of King Deerhill.
But before they knew it, several people had already fished in troubled waters, and took advantage of the chaos to secretly find the entrance to the floor where Kui Laokun was.
By the time Kui Lao Kun found out, it was already too late. Several people had approached the grassland, and in the midst of the group, Kui Laokun discovered the eyes that had once stared at him in the illusion.
He had no choice, he used the power of Mingzhu to perform Dao techniques, trapping several people for a while and unable to escape. At that time, he found out that those eyes were actually not malicious, and the one who really coveted the pearl was a fat man who used those eyes.
But just as Kui Laokun was trembling with the gang, a young man didn't know how to get in, and he found Mingzhu first. He stood in front of the shrine and admired the pearl with fascination.
Kui Lao Kun had no choice but to withdraw to deal with the young man, but at this moment, tragedy struck. The young man was greedy in the face of Mingzhu, he didn't use the lead box tool at all, and directly stretched out the hand of desire to Mingzhu.
Under the burning of Mingzhu, the young man let out a wail, and his face began to distort and deform, and finally turned into another kind of alien person.
The young man threw down the pearl in pain and fled. At this time, Kui Laokun, who was about to go back to stop the pearl grabbers, found that the original group had been divided into two teams.
Kui Laokun, who can detect the good and evil, can no longer judge the reality of the purpose of the group under the interference of those eyes. In desperation, he could only choose to stop one side first, and then stop the other.
"And then?"
- The two of them have seen what happened later, and the tomb is already dark.
"So, is the pearl still taken away?"
- Exactly.
"What about the eyes?"
- He's gone......
"Gone in smoke?" I was taken aback, could it be that Xiao Yuanjun is already dead?
"Who is the one who took away the pearl, is it the fat man?"
- The fat man is also dead, and it is not man who has taken away the pearl, but our god......
Kui Laokun sighed faintly.
