There is also an ancient scroll that says that the Jiuding is drawn on the detailed map of the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, before I only knew that the Kyushu Ding drew the Kyushu map, but the "detailed map" is the first time to see, the master speculated, if it is a detailed map, then the area of the Kyushu map must be very large, in view of the productivity and casting technology at that time, Dayu should not be able to cast such a large tripod, and therefore inferred that the nine tripods are probably not a very big tripod, but nine tripods, a tripod and a map, together is the Kyushu map.

And these ancient scrolls all mention that the reason why Dayu made Kyushu Ding is to "town Kyushu", the master wonders, what is there in Kyushu, need to use such a large amount of things to town?

There is also an ancient scroll that says that the reason why Dayu made Kyushu Ding is probably for the separation of yin and yang. I discussed with Master for a long time what exactly "Yin and Yang" refers to here, and came to the conclusion that there are two worlds of Yin and Yang.

Dayu made Kyushu Ding in order to cut the two worlds of yin and yang? Seriously, it is difficult for Master and I to accept that it is indeed a bit too mysterious, and we can't confirm whether the underworld really exists or not. Moreover, this scroll appeared a little later than the other scrolls, and it was written after the emergence of the Yin-Yang Doctrine, so Master felt that its research value was not too high.

The most critical scroll was found in the fourth month of my stay in Jisoul Village, this ancient scroll appeared in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, when the Kyushu Ding had disappeared, although the content on it was all related to the Kyushu Ding, but most of the content completely overlapped with the scrolls we found before. It's just that at the very end of the scroll, the names of the Nine Tombs are listed separately, and Master said that these mountains are likely to be the locations of the Nine Great Tombs.

Shake Mountain, Tibetan Mountain, Dingdang Mountain, Zhiniu Mountain, Sanqi Mountain, Bin Mountain, Luoyan Mountain, West Mountain, Tongchou Mountain. I have never heard of any of these nine mountains. Master said that it may be some old place names at that time, or it may be the name given to these mountains by the person who wrote the scroll according to a certain characteristic of the mountain. In any case, these names need to be deciphered.

In addition to the Kyushu Ding, Master and I also paid special attention to the records about Zhou Lie and Luo Zhongxing in all the scrolls, and it can be regarded as a good effort, and we really found information related to them on an ancient scroll.

The scroll was left from the Western Han Dynasty, and most of the first half of the volume recorded Zhou Lie's life and deeds, as well as his somewhat unsightly romances, and the second half of the scroll wrote that in the last twenty or thirty years of his life, he mainly lived in the area of Jizhizhuang, when he befriended a god who traveled here.

Zhou Lie had a good relationship with the wandering Shenhan, until one day, the Shenhan almost died because of taking poisonous weeds by mistake, and it was the people from the Soul Village who saved him. From that day on, he learned that there was such a place as Jijizhuang in the hinterland of the mountains, but the good times did not last long, and one day the Shenhan suddenly changed his temperament and committed the great sin of slaughtering all beings.

As for the specific changes in his personality, it is not mentioned in the ancient scrolls, but he changed from a good man to an insatiable man, and Zhou Lie broke with him because of this, and used force to drive him out of the Soul Village.

And the name of that god is called Luo Yun.

I haven't forgotten that when I first came to the cabinet, I found another ancient scroll, which recorded "Luo Yun, the word in the line", and the master also said that this person named Luo Yun should be the person of the Ten Perfections, Luo Zhongxing.

Except for the occasional excitement when we found these clues, the rest of the time, we spent our time constantly flipping through books and constantly disappointed.

During these six months, life was extremely boring, and Master would take me to the mountains for a walk when I was tired of flipping through books, and the place he frequented most was a cemetery in the back mountain, where the graves had no tombstones, just a small bare mound. Master said that this side is the gateway to the ten-mile mountain in feng shui, and we will be buried in this place after we die.

Once, I couldn't help but ask Master, "Master, did you say that Master was buried in his hometown after he died, and didn't he be buried here?" ”

The master smiled and said, "For the people of Jisoul Village, the mountains and water here are our hometowns. ”

After saying that, he also pointed to the highest mound and said to me, "That grave belongs to my ancestor."

Three years after the predecessors of the righteous lineage entered the ground, they asked the disciples and grandchildren to worship but not sacrifice, that is, they could come and see, but not with special ceremonies. Relatives can worship, but because the upright lineage is either incomplete yang or too heavy yin, they can't marry for life, so they have no descendants.

Because these graves have been left untended for many years, they eventually level down little by little, and are overgrown with vegetation on the mountain.

Master said that in this regard, we are somewhat similar to the people on the grassland, and after death, we will eventually return to nature, both in form and in essence.

I think Master's so-called "form" is that he does not deliberately preserve the tomb after death.

During the last two months of my stay at the Soul Village, Master was very fond of being alone in the cemetery, and sometimes I couldn't see him when I woke up in the morning, and when I went to the cemetery, I would definitely find him.

One morning, I got up before five o'clock, went to the second floor, and found that Master was not there, so I went to the cemetery by myself.

The cemetery is surrounded by a bamboo forest, which is strange to say, and near this cemetery, the bamboo forest is almost perennially verdant.

It was spring, and the forest was so green that I thought it was a rich piece of colored ink, and as I walked along the bumpy mountain road, I saw the new green from a distance that could not be completely covered by weeds, and at the same time I heard the high-pitched sound of Master's tape recorder.

In his tape recorder was playing "Su Sanqi Solution".

"Su San left Hongdong County and will come to ...... in front of the street", this is not the opera that the master likes to listen to, his favorite is "Dingjun Mountain", but this song is the one he listens to most often.

After a while, the sound of the tape recorder suddenly stopped, and I suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and sure enough, immediately after, my master's incomplete voice came from the forest.

Before I heard the original version of "Su Sanqi Solution", I heard Master sing this tune once, and at that time I thought that the opera itself was in this tune, until I was unfortunate enough to hear the original version, and I realized that what came out of my master's mouth was another song at all...... Another thing.

My master can sing ten of the nine tunes, and you don't know where the extra tune came from.

I walked through the bamboo forest with my hands raised and my ears covered, and I saw my master sitting on a horse with Erlang's legs crossed, singing to the grave of my master, and he also looked like he was enjoying his singing.

I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I trotted all the way to my master's face, and when the master saw me, he looked at the sky again, and asked me, "What time is it, why did you come here if you don't have a good morning exercise?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's not time for morning exercise yet, so I'll see what Master is doing here." ”

Master pointed to the tape recorder on the ground and said, "I'm practicing." ”

After saying that, he opened his mouth and sang again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the cold hairs in my ears exploded instantly, I couldn't listen to it, and I didn't dare to leave like this, otherwise the master would definitely ask me if I thought he didn't sing well, and if I said yes, he would say that I was lying, and if I said it badly, he would find other reasons to fix me.

I'm also desperate, and when I hear him singing here, I still burrow my head into the bamboo forest.

But I really couldn't stand him being out of tune, so I found an excuse to interrupt him: "Master, why do you keep singing songs?" In fact, I think your voice is particularly imposing, and it is more suitable for singing Dingjun Mountain. ”

Master stopped, he stared at me for a while, then glanced at me again, and said, "It's okay for me to sing Dingjun Mountain in this voice, but I don't tune it." Did you just say that I was out of tune? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "Master, you think too much, I don't mean that." ”

Master smiled and said, "I don't need to say it, I know what level I have. But this song "Su Sanqi Solution" is Lao Chen's favorite song, and I have to practice it again. ”

I asked my master tentatively, "Are you going to sing this song in front of him?" ”

In fact, I still have a few words after me: "To disgust him?" But I didn't dare to say it.

Master nodded, "Well, but I can't sing it while he's alive, then he'll definitely laugh at me." When I was younger, I made a promise with him that if one of us died, the other would sing his favorite tune while he was buried. If I die first, Lao Chen will put on a costume and sing "Dingjun Mountain" in front of my coffin board. If he dies first, I'll sing this one, but the costume will be waived. I can't wear a woman's clothes. ”

Hearing what Master said, I immediately became nervous: "Daochang Chen...... Nothing happened, right? ”

Master smiled at me: "What can he do, he's fine." I just practiced the song in advance, am I prepared? Hey, do you really think that this voice is more suitable for singing Dingjun Mountain? ”

I let out an "ah" against my will.

The master was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Master's words are too bad, I can't help but be angry with Huang Zhong......"

I regretted my "ah" for a while, and this song was not as good as the one just now.

Ever since I listened to my master's songs, I felt so confused all morning that I couldn't concentrate when I went to the cabinet to read the books.

By the way, speaking of the Cabinet, there is one more thing I want to say.

Although during that half a year, I had no additional practice except for my daily morning exercises, but I had to urge the Fantian Seal in front of the cabinet every day, for six months, more than 180 times, I found that I was more and more comfortable in urging the Fantian Seal, although I was still very tired after each urging, but I was no longer as tired as in the past, and I didn't even have the most basic ability to move.

And I obviously felt that every time the mental power and spiritual rhyme in my body were absorbed by Fantianyin, the mental power I condensed next time would become purer and more vigorous, and even my perception of the Qi field had been greatly improved.

Half a year later, when I left the Soul Village, I was already able to borrow the Qi field of the Black Water Coffin like Master.

I was pleasantly surprised by the progress of my cultivation, but this surprise did not last long, and when I returned to school, it was already April, and in three months it was the most important exam in my life - the college entrance examination.

I was supposed to take three years of course, but my total study time was probably less than one academic year, so I naturally failed in this college entrance examination. I remember that I seemed to have scored more than 400 points in the exam that year, and I was still more than 100 points short of the cut-off score of the three books.

At that time, my dad thought that I should just find a school and forget it, anyway, even if I graduated, I didn't have to think about diplomas, employment, and other things. But my mother firmly disagreed, she felt that if I went to school for the sake of going to school, it would be better not to go to school, and after graduating from high school, I should concentrate on taking care of my business.
