Chapter 69: The Twelve Gods of Ziwei
I have been exposed to the Earth Eye since I was very young, and the first words I knew were these three words, and although the content of the book is not proficient, it is at least an introduction.
I turned around in amazement, and found that except for Gong Jue and Tian Ji in the room, the rest of the people had solemn expressions, and when I looked at Ye Jiuqing again, I frowned and asked, "The eyes of the earth are not books...... That...... What is that? ”
Ye Jiuqing took the piece of paper from my hand, put it together with the bronze mask next to him, was silent for a long time, and told us another unbelievable thing in a stern voice.
Ye Jiuqing said that there has always been no shortage of rumors in the tomb robbery industry, but most of them are related to ancient tombs or treasures, but the most mysterious thing is this eye into the earth.
It is said that a long time ago, even Ye Jiuqing didn't know how long it was, after all, it was a matter that had been passed down from generation to generation, and it was difficult to trace the source, and an extremely mysterious organization suddenly appeared in the circle of tomb robbing, consisting of twelve people, who had been exploring the lost ruins and treasures of the world.
No one has ever seen these twelve people, not even their names, and this tomb robbing alliance is not just a moment, it is said that these twelve people have been passed down from generation to generation, and their descendants have always inherited the skills and specialties of their ancestors, so this tomb robbing alliance has always existed mysteriously.
These twelve people have never revealed their identities, and the only thing they know is that they call the first twelve gods to each other in Ziwei in order to hide people's eyes, so the rumored twelve people are: Pan'an, Suiyi, Xishen, Huagai, Robbery, Calamity, Tiansha, Fingerback, Xianchi, Yuesha, and Death.
"It's only eleven, don't you say there are twelve?" Tian Ji counted it with his fingers.
"One of these twelve people is their leader, and everything is decided by this person, and the remaining eleven will obey unconditionally, and in the end this person is called the Eye of the Earth!" Feng Cheng's calm voice came from behind us. "And the three-eyed unicorn you see is the symbol of the head of this mysterious organization."
"The eye into the ground is ...... Is it a person?! "I was shocked by my realization.
"Is it so mysterious, I still think of something terrible after talking about it for a long time, isn't it just twelve people, not twelve gods." Tian Ji probably thought that he would hear some shocking rumors, but he was disappointed and shook his head disapprovingly.
"That's it, it's mysterious, what waves can twelve people make, dragons and snakes are mixed in the tomb robbery circle, but hidden masters abound." Gong Jue pointed his finger obediently. "The names of the seniors in this room are all thunderous in this industry, and I don't think they are worse than these twelve people."
"Compared to these twelve people......" Ye Jiuqing shook his head in shame and smiled bitterly. You are also exalting us old things, don't say it's us, even if you have gathered all the first-class masters in the circle, it is estimated that you can't compare with these twelve people. ”
"You are a person with a head and a face in the circle, it's not appropriate to say such things, how can people lose their ambition when they are old." I glanced at Ye Jiuqing, although he was low-key, he looked down on the world in his bones, wild and uninhibited, and the most important thing was blood.
"People are content, it's not that Brother Ye grows up with the ambition of others to destroy his prestige, no matter how much we have the ability, at best, we are just tomb robbers, and friends in the industry give face in exchange for fame, but after all, we can't get on the stage." Zhao Yan came up to me and said to me. "Although those twelve people are also doing the same business as us, their skills are bigger than ours, it's not that they don't want to compare, it's that they are fundamentally far from worth mentioning."
"They are all grave-digging and making money from the dead, what can't be compared?" I was unconvinced.
"The only thing we know about these twelve people is what they call each other, no one has ever seen them in real form, and these twelve people have been passed down from generation to generation, they are not all tomb robbers, it is said that they have different identities, and the things they control are far beyond what we can imagine." Ye Jiuqing said.
"Twelve ordinary people, what can they control?" Tian Ji asked suspiciously.
"The change of dynasties, the rise and fall of the country!" Feng Cheng looked at us and answered word by word.
"......" The three of us were dumbfounded, Feng Cheng's worst thing was joking, and none of the people in the whole room seemed to be joking with us. How...... How is it possible, you really have such a great ability, what are you doing robbing tombs? ”
There was silence in the house, presumably even they couldn't return to this question, Ye Jiuqing said in a low voice, these twelve generations have been exploring the lost relics, and they have great rights and resources, and they have been circulating in the tomb robbery circle for a long time, Ye Jiuqing is actually the same as us, and he doesn't believe this rumor, after all, why should people who can control the family and the country want to dig up tombs and steal treasures.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the three-eyed unicorn is a sign of the eye of the earth, and it also represents this mysterious organization, I used to think that this rumor was false." Ye Jiuqing put the paper and mask in his hand on the table, and tapped his fingers on it a few times. "It doesn't seem to be groundless."
I took a deep breath, the pattern of the three-eyed unicorn was given to me by a woman, and there was the same pattern on the wrist tattoo of the gold lord, according to what they said, it was consistent with the identity of the gold owner, and it was obvious that the origin of the gold lord was definitely not trivial.
"The bronze mask is very old, and it has a three-eyed unicorn pattern on it, which is probably related to the origin of the Eye of the Earth." Ye Jiuqing pushed two things in front of me. "It seems that your father's death may be related to the Eye of the Earth, and if you want to track down the whereabouts of the enemy, this is a good opportunity to start with this bronze mask."
"Knowing ourselves and knowing that the other is victorious in all battles, the owner knows everything about us, but we don't know anything about him, so we will always be passive." The palace lord nodded and said to me. "Since the gold owner is related to the eye of the earth, if we can find out the origin of the three-eyed unicorn, we may be able to find out the background and identity of the gold owner."
"The three-eyed unicorn is chosen as a symbol of the Eye of the Earth, which must have a special meaning, and the age of the bronze mask cannot be determined now, but at least before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is to say, the Eye of the Earth may have existed for a long time." The general sat down and took out the tobacco leaves and rolled a cigarette. "And the shape and decoration of the bronze mask do not look like ancient artifacts of the Central Plains, and the origin of these twelve people is probably unusual."
"Blind Guo said that the bronze mask was given to him by an antique dealer, you go tomorrow, let Blind Guo introduce you, go and meet this antique dealer, there must be a provenance of things, see if you can hear something from this mouth." Ye Jiuqing thought about it for a moment and said to me seriously.
"Guo is blind and shrewd like an old fox, most of the time he doesn't see rabbits and eagles in such a big deal, let's go and ask, I'm afraid he won't say." I smiled bitterly in embarrassment.
"You go and tell him to send me the black glazed plum vase from Dingyao, and he will naturally understand what it means." Ye Jiuqing took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
Taking a short hand and eating a short mouth, since Ye Jiuqing has accepted Guo Blind's things, he will naturally do his best to do things for him, which is equivalent to taking over his deal, and what is more reassuring to Guo Blind than Ye Jiuqing is willing to intervene in person.
"This matter is decided, our soldiers are divided into two ways, the three of you track down the origin of the three-eyed unicorn, and we continue to explore the whereabouts of Lu Sheng's descendants, no matter what Lu Sheng took from the underground altar, it must be mostly related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace." Ye Jiuqing put it into the teacup and made the final decision. "Since the person who killed your father is related to the eye of the earth, it is not difficult to see from the previous events that they are also looking for the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, rather than sitting back and waiting to be killed, it is better to strike first, this is the best opportunity to reverse the decline and seize the initiative."
In the evening, we stayed in the Sifang pawnshop to congratulate Ye Jiuqing on his birthday, Ye Jiuqing seemed to be very happy, the visitor did not refuse to drink a lot of wine, Tian Ji seemed to like it very much, rolled up his sleeves and killed the Quartet with a wine bowl, the palace lord sat next to me without a drop of wine, and was forced to be poured a bowl by me, he seemed to have never drank, frowning and sticking out his tongue with a painful expression and squatting on the side and spitting heavily.
Gong Jue has always been arrogant, looking at him like this, I couldn't help laughing while patting him on the back, and suddenly remembered that when I first arrived at the Sifang pawnshop, it was also as lively as tonight, and a group of bad old men who licked blood from the knife edge and were extremely vicious took me as a funny joke.
The more stubborn I was and the more stubborn I fell into their eyes, the more interesting it was, I sat alone in the corner and timidly watched the notorious rats and the steaming dishes on the table, and when the general threw the chicken leg into my bowl, he did not forget to scold me, I picked it up and smashed it in his face, and the general wiped a handful of oil from his face, opened his mouth and laughed with yellow teeth.
The others inadvertently put the food in my bowl, not to take care of me kindly, it felt like they were teasing a dog that had been picked up, and then began to pour me wine in turns, no one was just a seven-year-old child, I was not convinced, gritted my teeth and drank bowl after bowl, basically drank a bowl and ran over and vomited before continuing.
At the beginning, they laughed until the end, no one dared to make fun of me anymore, I guess I had never seen such a horizontal baby, and at that time, Ye Zhiqiu was like me now, patting me on the back while asking me not to be strong.
It was late at night when I came out of the Sifang pawnshop, and the field chicken could not resist a bunch of wine rats who did not leave their mouths, and they could only stand firm by me and the palace jue, and on the way back, the palace jue suddenly said lightly.
"Into the Ground...... Twelve people with mysterious identities, coincidentally, there were no more and no less people who went to Kunlun Jinque forty years ago, and they happened to be twelve ......"
I didn't speak, what he thought of was actually I thought earlier, Ye Jiuqing had been to Kunlun Jinque, but unfortunately he couldn't remember anything, something must have happened forty years ago, and the last thing I believe in is coincidence.
What's more, Xue Shuqiao wrote in his notes that the twelve people who were recruited were all outstanding top figures in various fields, and this sentence made me involuntarily associate these people with the mysterious Ziwei and the first twelve gods.
