Chapter 463: Good News from Old Tang
Grandpa didn't say anything about the tomb, but said that after he left, he asked me to bury him here, and asked me to remember to put up a tombstone, that's all.
When Chen Xianyi heard it, he said that it doesn't matter what it is, since your grandfather told him like this, he naturally has his reasoning, and you can do it immediately. So he told me to hurry up and write a tombstone.
But the tombstone was not prepared in advance, so where could I get a tombstone for a while? Looking around, I finally had to pick up a broken piece of bamboo from the ground, bite my index finger, write the tombstone inscription on the bamboo, and then brave the thunder above my head, and quickly insert the bamboo piece in front of the grave!
Then, a magical scene appeared! As soon as I stood the bamboo piece in front of the grave, the next moment, the thunder suddenly stopped, and when I looked up, the dark clouds had dispersed, and the howling wind had stopped. Just in the blink of an eye, the sky is sunny again, cloudless, and the sky and the earth are clear......
Of course, the sound of the dragon's groan faded away until it was gone, as if everything before it was like a dream. When I woke up, I was gone.
It's just that we know that everything just now is not a dream, because the grave in front of us has been scorched black by the thunder, and even the coffin has split several cracks, proving the tragedy just now.
Seeing that everything had passed, Chen Xianyi and I were overjoyed and couldn't help cheering. Yes, this means that this treasure land really belongs to my Chen family!
Of course, I later learned that there was a reason why my grandfather told me to remember to erect a tombstone. Because if I don't erect a tombstone, God won't know that this is the tomb of my plague god, and my grandfather is just an ordinary person, and he will definitely not be able to afford this treasure cave, and God will naturally send down thunder to drive him away.
We came to the grave to take a closer look, and saw that although the coffin was split by the thunder and cracked several times, Grandpa's body was still undamaged, and we were relieved.
Eventually, we re-covered the earth, and the grave was finally erected.
Chen Xianyi was full of emotion and said that the Chen family would definitely have a big man in the future.
I smiled, knowing in my heart that the Chen family would not have to run away in the future. However, even I can't tell when this treasure cave will be shipped, maybe in a few years, or maybe a hundred years later, who knows.
……
After taking care of my grandfather's funeral, Chen Xianyi and the others originally planned to stay with me, but I refused, after all, they still had children, so Chen Xianyi and Fei Sanniang went back to the city first, while Yang Qing insisted on staying.
In the next few days, although accompanied by Yang Qing, when he calmed down, he would always think of his grandfather, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
In this way, I stayed in my hometown for three or four days, and then I received a call from Chen Xianyi, who told me that there was a message from Lao Tang about the text on the map of Gujing Lake.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became interested and asked him, what did Lao Tang say, did he recognize those strange words on the map?
Chen Xianyi, who was on the phone, his voice was a little excited, and he told me that Lao Tang had deciphered the words on the map of the ancient scroll.
When I heard the good news, I couldn't help but get excited and happy. So he hurriedly asked him, what did Lao Tang say, and what was written on it?
So, Chen Xianyi told me the news that Lao Tang told him.
It turned out that the words on the map of the ancient scroll turned out to be a kind of "rune" in ancient times. Of course, this so-called "rune" is not the so-called "rune" when we draw charms, but refers to a font in ancient times. It is said that this kind of writing has existed since ancient times, and it is often carved on the temple altar, or used to pray to the gods, so it is called "rune", which means a kind of writing that the gods see, so it is also called "fairy text". Because in ancient times, writing was not something that ordinary people could use, and "immortals" were supreme, so in the distant past, writing was specially used to communicate with immortals. It's just that this kind of writing became extinct with the demise of Zhang Jiao during the Taiping Dao Uprising. Since then, few people have used this script anymore.
The reason why Lao Tang knew this kind of writing was because he had studied the Taiping Sutra before, and there were records of this kind of writing in it, so he studied this long-lost text.
And those "rune" words on the map of Gujing Lake do record things about Gujing Lake. The general meaning of the things recorded is that the three-volume map of Gujing Lake was drawn by the river god Hebo, because Hebo wanted to become an immortal, so he went everywhere to find the way to become an immortal, and later he found the place of Gujing Lake, and finally became an immortal.
However, this matter was known to the gods in the sky, so he ran to the Jade Emperor to complain, saying that Hebo was lazy by nature and did not do his job, how could such a person be qualified to go to heaven to be an immortal.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he also felt reasonable, but now that Hebo has become an immortal by chance, and it is also his creation, it is impossible to destroy his Taoism because he is lazy by nature, right? This is a thing that goes against the sky, even if the Jade Emperor is the boss in charge of the heavenly court, then he can't mess around.
The Jade Emperor was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, so he asked the immortals if they had any ideas?
The immortals gave the Jade Emperor an idea, saying that since Hebo became an immortal, it was the will of heaven. Now that the Yellow River is flooding, it is better to send him to manage the Yellow River and let him be the river god! First, it can be regarded as a half-official position that promises to him, and will not let him be idle anymore; Second, being a river god can keep him in the lower realm, and he can't go to heaven.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that this method was very good, so he sent someone to summon Hebo to the heavenly court and asked him to manage the Yellow River.
It is said that Hebo is just a lazy person, how can he manage the Yellow River. When he came to the Yellow River, his eyes were dark and he was very bored, so he planned to draw a map of the ancient lake, so that future generations would also have the fate to go to the fairyland and become immortals.
So, according to his own memory, he made drawings every day. When he was tired, he would wander along the banks of the Yellow River. When others asked him what he was drawing, he was afraid that others would say that he was idle all day, so he told outsiders that he was drawing a map of the Yellow River.
When the ancient realm lake was painted, his physical body was also old, and soon Hebo's physical body died. His descendants felt that the river map was the work of Hebo's life, and in order to pay tribute to Hebo, he divided the river map into three, two of which were placed in the river temple, and the other volume was buried in the ground with Hebo's body.
When Chen Xianyi on the phone talked about this, he couldn't help sighing: "It's really unthinkable, the folk praise the legend that Hebo made a river map to govern the Yellow River in order to govern the Yellow River, and this is how it came about." This old man Hebo actually deceived all the people in the world. ”
When I heard this, I was also shocked, and I never thought that the map of Gujing Lake would be made by Hebo. But if you think about it carefully, maybe Lao Tang should be right in deciphering it, because the last volume of the ancient realm lake map was obtained from the tomb of the river god.
Although this story is truly shocking, the story recorded on the map is not helpful in our efforts to find the Ancient Realm Lake, and we still have no way of knowing where the Ancient Realm Lake is. So I couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Senior brother, did Hebo only record his own story on the map at the beginning?" Other than that, there is no record of where the Gujing Lake is? ”
Compared with Hebo's experience, I care more about the location of Gujing Lake, because if we don't know where the island is, in the vast sea, we will look for it at all.
Chen Xianyi heard the worry in my heart and hurriedly told me not to worry, he told me that in addition to the story, the map did indeed record the details of Gujing Lake.
When I heard this, I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked him, what does that text say?
However, Chen Xianyi told me that because he couldn't explain a word on the phone, Lao Tang had already left for Jiangxi and planned to meet and talk in detail.
I nodded, this matter is indeed difficult to explain clearly on the phone, and now Lao Tang is willing to leave for a trip, that is the best. Thinking of this, I was also very happy in my heart, the matter about Gujing Lake was too important to me, and I told Chen Xianyi right away, and I would rush back immediately.
I hung up the phone in a hurry, and with the excitement in my heart, I told Yang Qing about it.
Knowing that Lao Tang had deciphered the words on the map of Gujing Lake, Yang Qing was also very happy and happy for me. On the same day, I packed some clothes and luggage, left Chenjia Village with Yang Qing, and returned to Xuantang.
On the way back to Xuantang, I asked Chen Xianyi for Lao Tang's phone number. When I called Lao Tang, what he said was not much different from what Chen Xianyi told me.
Old Tang seemed very excited, and he kept asking me how I found the map. I told him everything about the map, and in the end, Lao Tang told me that Gujing Lake might really help people become immortals.
I asked him why he was so sure? He said that Hebo is the best example.
Because he was still on the train, there were some things that were not suitable for him, so he told me to talk about them when we met.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Qing and I returned to Xuantang. After meeting Chen Xianyi, seeing that the time was almost up, we went to the station and waited for the arrival of Lao Tang......
