Chapter 12: The Secret of Nanpan
Two days later, my second uncle and I returned to the antique shop, and the seventh master and the pig's head also came back.
Four pieces of Han armor were also brought back by us.
Although the trip accomplished our goal, there was no smile on everyone's face, and even some sadness. Seeing the old general lying in the tomb with his own eyes, this kind of thing is really comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang's mother walking into the tomb by herself...... This once-in-a-lifetime scene has been seen by us.
It wasn't until we got back to the antique shop and had lunch that the four of us sat in the living room watching the TV news, and we still didn't take our thoughts back.
"We're lucky." The seventh master smiled bitterly: "Originally, I thought that the people who were secretly observing should rush out at the last moment and fight for Tai Chi Halo, but I didn't expect that except for Han Yushui's seniors, everything went well." ”
"I guess, first, I was deterred by the group of guns under Xu Zeming, and second, Xiu'er's seniors and Qingyue's seniors should also be protecting the periphery." The second uncle guessed: "Seeing that we have succeeded, Tai Chi is no longer a threat, and they will naturally not let anyone rush in." ”
"Alas!" The pig's head sighed coldly: "It's a pity!" Such a good Tai Chi halo is cheaper than the big crows in the cave! Hey, you say, after many years, will those crows rule the world?! ”
"Huh!" The seventh master was happy: "Don't worry, crows are different from people, we just used the vitality of the crow that just died, as for the group of crows in the cave, the next family will be prosperous and live a happy life, that's all." ”
"For crows, that's good." I'm very pleased.
"Hmm." The seventh master nodded, and the words changed: "Now, we have dealt with the Tai Chi halo, what are your plans next?" ”
On the way back, I discussed this matter with my second uncle. The four maps in the second uncle's hand that were obtained from the iron box, in addition to the Tianshan Medicine Garden, there was also the Nanpan Shrine, and the two maps that had not yet determined what the exact place was. In addition, we have been to the Fuping Dragon Blood Realm before, as well as Tai Chi Halo, among the ten secret realms, there are still four places that have not been found.
Our Gu family, the Seventh Master, and the Budai monk, plus the toad, must continue to act now, and several of us have tacitly enshrined the medicine that can save our body in the ten secret realms.
Actually, my second uncle and I hid a secret - before going to Nanling Taiji this time, my second uncle and I flipped through the diary left by my father, and under the torn pages in the middle, we used the light to find four relatively clear words: Ten Secret Realms.
And this page is just below the torn pages. From the very beginning, we felt that the few pages torn down should be the prescription of the paper that needed the Sun Moon Lotus as a medicinal guide, so it was estimated that the rest of the few hard-to-find medicines should exist in large quantities in the rest of the secret realms.
Otherwise, the toad would not have been unable to find the rest of the medicines in the prescription, but would instead use that kind of indiscriminate means to suppress the soaring Yuan Yang Qi in the body!
"What about the Seventh Master's plan?" The second uncle smiled and asked: "We also want to hurry up to find the next top ten secret realms, but now, we don't have exact clues, if we only rely on the map from the Han armor breastplate, we can't determine the exact location at all." ”
"Yes." The corners of the seventh master's mouth curled, and he owed to us: "You forget, I am the seventh helmsman of the Nanpan faction. ”
When I said this, my second uncle and I were both stunned, looked at each other, and suddenly smiled bitterly: We forgot, the Nanpan Divine Palace, to a certain extent, is the hometown of the Nanpan faction! The Nanpan faction has disappeared for many years, even so, since its establishment at the beginning, it has been almost more than 200 years, and in so many years, almost ninety percent of the gold digging masters in the south are from the Nanpan faction, there are so many masters, can't you find any clues of the Nanpan Divine Palace?!
"However, Seventh Master, do you really have any news from the Nanpan Divine Palace?" The second uncle didn't seem to believe it, you must know that this Nanpan Divine Palace was originally legendary, and it was even more unreliable than Tianshan Medicine Garden. Even if there is, it has a history of about 5,000 years, and it is difficult to say whether it can be preserved.
"I can't guarantee that this will be true." The seventh master smiled bitterly: "There is a legend in our Nanpan faction, that is, the first person at the helm, named Gu Yusheng, this person's level of digging gold and pouring points is several grades higher than others, especially the kung fu of finding dragon points, which tends to transform into a realm, and he is a master of feng shui at that time, even the emperor has to look up to him by three points." And this person's life experience has always been a mystery, since the rumors of him, this Gu Yusheng has always been a loner, even if he goes to the big tomb, he is alone, but there has never been any problems. It is precisely because of this that when people propose to form an organization, everyone elects this person to be at the helm. ”
"Gu Yusheng......" The second uncle frowned, looked at me, and then looked at the pig's head, and saw that the pig's head also looked dazed, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "This person's name, this is the first time I've heard of it." ”
"Hah!" The seventh master snorted: "Gu Yusheng is his big name, and the ones that are usually circulated in the rivers and lakes are his nickname, called 'Exploring the Dragon in the Clouds'." ”
"Exploring the dragon in the clouds?!" The second uncle's brows furrowed even tighter: "Isn't this a legendary character?!" Is there really one? ”
"That's right." The Seventh Master nodded and said, "Not only is there really such a person, but he is also the first helmsman of our Nanpan faction." At that time, they all thought that this lone master would not accept the support to become the helmsman, after all, everyone present at the time had almost no friendship with him, and supported him as the helmsman, the first was to sincerely admire his strength, and the second was to be polite, but what I didn't expect was that this dragon in the clouds accepted the request without hesitation, but it made other people have no choice. ”
"I heard that this dragon in the clouds, in and out of the major underground palace tombs, follow up his own home, and whether to take things out is all up to what he likes, what he likes, even if it is a worthless stone, will be taken out as a treasure, if he doesn't like it, even if it is a priceless night pearl, he won't move it." The second uncle leaned back on the sofa and said: "At that time, many people said that he had no work ethic, hehe......"
"Yes, it's true." The Seventh Master smiled: "What this senior does is based on his temperament. When he was the first person at the helm, people began to speculate about why he did it, and then as he led the action, it slowly became apparent. ”
The seventh master paused when he said this, the second uncle picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, smacking his mouth: "I guess, this dragon in the clouds, could it be related to the Nanpan Divine Palace?" ”
Wow! That's a bold guess! Let's not talk about whether the Nanpan Shrine is real, even if it really exists, the ancient tribe "Pan Clan" that built the Nanpan Shrine has disappeared for thousands of years, this Gu Yusheng, is it a descendant of the Pan Clan? !
The pig's head was fascinated, it may be the first time he heard the seventh master talk about these things of the Nanpan faction.
"You guessed it right!" The seventh master grinned and said: "After this Yunzhong Tanlong took office, there was no movement for three years, and at that time, a group of people under his command had already left, and I felt that this Nanpan faction would not last long, and by the fourth year, there were less than ten people left in the entire Nanpan faction around Gu Yusheng, and these people were in the same situation as him, with high kung fu and like to act alone." Next, Gu Yusheng, who had been idle in the mountains for three years, disappeared with these people! ”
"Gone?" I asked in unison with the pig's head.
"That's right, gone." The seventh master nodded and said, "A year later, it appeared again." But there are only three people left, and I don't know where the rest have gone. After returning this time, the three began to take in apprentices, when they were not yet forty years old. You should also understand some of the rules of our industry, generally when you reach the age of forty, you have to wash your hands in a golden basin, so it is necessary to accept apprentices. After another two years, when Gu Yusheng was thirty-nine years old, a total of ten apprentices, disappeared again. When he reappeared half a year later, only Gu Yusheng and one of his apprentices remained, and the rest were all dead. ”
"Dead?" I gasped: "Why? Where did they go? ”
"Nanpan Shrine." The Seventh Master was not shocked: "Although I haven't seen it, every head of the Nanpan faction will get this secret that is not spread when he takes over - the Nanpan Divine Palace really exists, and Gu Yusheng disappeared twice in a row back then, so he went to find the Nanpan Divine Palace, and he was really found!" ”
"Found it?!" Everyone immediately became excited: "Where?" ”
"Yuechengling." The seventh master said in a deep voice.
"Yuechengling?" I was confused: "I haven't heard of it, where is this place?" ”
The seventh master was just about to explain, but the second uncle suddenly waved his hand: "Yuechengling? I suddenly remembered one thing, the master of the cloth bag master, that is, the cloth bag monk who was as mysterious as him, was not in seclusion in Yuecheng Ridge more than a hundred years ago?! ”
"Huh!" The seventh master smiled and leaned on the back of the sofa, looked at the second uncle and said: "Shopkeeper, you are only half right, just after Xiao Gu and I left from Yashan Haigong, the master of the bag broke his arm, and he was treated in Guangzhou for two days and suddenly said goodbye, coincidentally, a friend of mine saw him and knew that we had been acting together recently, so he told me about it, and I chased after him without saying a word - we all know that this master of the bag is the same as the monk of the bag back then, and he has come and gone without a trace, and no one knows where he lives. But that time, I followed his footsteps and found the place where he had been living in seclusion, which was also the Yuecheng Ridge! ”
