Guigu Wormhole Chapter 9 The Secret of the Ancient Box (3)
It is said that after the Xia Shang, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period produced a very famous figure in history, surnamed Wang Mingxu. He is proficient in psychological speculation, well aware of the trend of rigidity and softness, proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, and has the wisdom of the sky, and has taught several famous students, such as Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, etc. This person is also called Guiguzi by later generations. Later generations all know that Guiguzi is proficient in the art of shutting and closing, and is good at sophistry, but few people know about Guiguzi's secret arts. It is rumored that Guiguzi was apprenticed to the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu later ascended to the Tao, and when the immortal went, he left Guiguzi a bamboo slip, and the bamboo slip was only engraved with the word "Book of Heaven" on the outside.
Guiguzi opened the Book of Heaven and found that there was not a single word engraved from beginning to end. Thinking about it, there must be some truth in this heavenly book that Master gave him. When I couldn't sleep at night, I opened the book of heaven again, and looked at it by the firelight, only to see that on the bamboo slips, lines of text reflected golden light. Guiguzi is smart and studious, and he learned all the content overnight. And during the day the next day, there was not a word in the book of heaven. By night, the golden text appeared again, but the content was not the same as yesterday. In this way for seven days and nights, Guiguzi learned a book every night, heaven and earth, governing the country and the country, career economy, astronomy and geography, astronomical and astronomical numbers, and pills for health.
On the eighth night, when he opened the book of heaven, he saw by the light of the fire, and there were a number of black texts, and after reading it carefully, Guiguzi was shocked in his heart. The contents of the eighth night became top secret, and no one knew that there was an eighth book. Guiguzi later taught the students the knowledge he had learned on the first seven nights, but never mentioned the content of the eighth night of the Heavenly Book.
Soon after, Guiguzi sent all his disciples down the mountain to exercise, and he himself disappeared for a while, no one knows where he went down the mountain, only that after Guiguzi returned to the mountain, he recuperated for a long time behind closed doors, and then opened the mountain gate, recruited the last closed disciple, and passed on all the Taoist scholarship to him. This closed disciple is also very famous, his name is Xu Fu, who was sent by Qin Shi Huang to the East China Sea to ask for medicine.
After Xu Fu became a teacher, he used the Taoist mathematics he learned to become a famous scholar at that time, and later gained the trust of Qin Shi Huang to go to sea for the first emperor to ask for medicine. After Xu Fu left the school, before going to sea, he went back to the mountain to see his master Guiguzi, and the master and apprentice had a secret conversation. It is said that after this conversation, Guiguzi told Xu Fu the secret of the eighth night of the Heavenly Book. After Xu Fu went down the mountain for the second time, he selected a group of outstanding clans, disciples, believers, etc., and formed a secret organization, named "Holy Dragon Sect", the organization of the Holy Dragon Sect is pyramid-shaped, headed by the patriarch, the left and right protectors are set under the patriarch, and the four elders are set under the protectors, and the rest of the sect members are led by the elders. At first, this organization only followed Xu Fu to learn martial arts and Taoism. Later, the clan consciousness was gradually diluted, and Taoist celebrities could be recruited, but the purpose of the organization has not changed, that is, to keep a holy relic and a big secret. That big secret was passed on by the old patriarch to the new patriarch by word of mouth, and the sect did not know, and outsiders did not know, and the holy relic should be this Zimu Xuan, which has always been kept by the patriarch. Xu Fu went to sea and never returned. However, the Holy Dragon Sect still follows Xu Fu's setting, reproducing and developing from generation to generation, and its mission has never changed. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Holy Dragon clan still existed, and the congregations were usually scattered in all walks of life, gathering regularly to practice martial arts, learn Taoism, and strengthen the concept of organization. The characteristics of mysteriousness, tight structure, and external dispersion and cohesion have allowed the Holy Dragon Sect to exist for thousands of years. And the sacred relics that were protected at the beginning and the great secret have been passed down intact.
Due to years of war in the land of China, many precious legacies passed down by ancestors have been lost in history, and those non-material things have also been broken. The Holy Dragon Clan encountered unprecedented difficulties, but neither the core nor the initial mission was destroyed. Later, in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, a scum appeared within the church. This scum was gifted and extremely talented, and served as the right protector at that time. It's just that this person is narrow-minded and conceited and arbitrary, and after losing the battle for the position of patriarch, he gave up on himself and went astray, violated the canon, and was expelled from the Holy Dragon Sect. Who knows, this scum not only did not repent, but instead used what he had learned to create a cult, named it "Ghost Clan", and called himself "Ghost Uncle", specially recruiting all kinds of people with unhealthy intentions to learn witchcraft and evil arts. The ghost clan is developing very rapidly, and it is extremely secretive. After swallowing his anger for more than ten years, the ghost uncle finally waited until he was full of wings and strong strength, so he used the power of thunder to sneak attack the Holy Dragon Sect with evil magic, destroy most of the disciples of the Holy Dragon Clan, and hunt down a small number of survivors. Of course, in the duel with the patriarch of the Holy Dragon Sect, the ghost uncle was seriously injured and temporarily retired to the rivers and lakes, and the ghost clan gradually disappeared. And the patriarch of the Holy Dragon Sect and the holy relic Zimu Xuan disappeared at the same time. It's just that there is an undercurrent under the calm water. The ghost uncle is still chasing the Holy Dragon Patriarch, vainly seeking to obtain the Azusa Mu Xuan and the great secret. And the surviving members of the Holy Dragon Sect are also incognito, secretly searching for the whereabouts of the patriarch, and waiting for the opportunity to kill the ghost clan, support justice, find holy relics, and avenge the sect...
"Does this story you are talking about have anything to do with our life and death?" Although scholars are very interested in this story, life is more important than our life and death.
"Do you know who that dirt boy is?" The man in black said to the scholar, "His name is Ah Tu, the proud disciple of the ghost uncle." The Azusa Wood Bowl in your hands is a holy relic of the Holy Dragon Sect, and it is a matter of 'great secret', so... After Ah Tu took the azusa wood bowl, he wanted to kill people and kill people. ”
"Didn't we go out and meet a noble person and meet you? You beat that kid with the name of Ah Tu in a few moves. By the way, this brother, what do you call you? "I thought to myself, this is really a person as his name suggests, and the name of the rustic one is really Atu. In this way, isn't this man in black called Xiao Hei?
"My name is Long Qifan, a native of the Holy Dragon Gate."
"Ahh I, the scholar, and Lao Xu all shouted in unison. In this way, wasn't this young master and Ah Tu just now the duel between the Holy Dragon Sect and the Ghost Clan?
We were all confused by this continuous, sudden situation, like making a movie.
"Wait, I'll take care of it myself. In this way, after Azusa Mu Yu disappeared at that time, he was not known to be obtained by someone and sold to an antique store, and the Oni Clan knew the news and used evil magic to control the dead man to drive a truck and crash into the antique store, in order to take advantage of the chaos to get Azusa Mu Xuan. And Azusa Muyu strangely disappeared again, and finally appeared in the hands of Xia Nan and the scholar, and I translated the inner wall text. At this time, Ah Tu learned that we were holding a Azusa wooden spoon and wanted to kill people and get goods. So the question is, how did you end up here, Brother Long? If you have already saved us, why do you say that we are about to die? Also, since you are a survivor of the Holy Dragon Clan, what is the secret of Azusa Muyu? What do the riddle-like sentences I am translating mean? "Lao Xu is worthy of engaging in scientific research, and his ability to sort out problems is first-class.
"I've been tracking down the whereabouts of the Ghost Clan and the Holy Dragon Patriarch, and I'm trying my best to find Azusa Mu Yu in order to crack that big secret. According to my investigation, Azusa appeared in that antique store. I wanted to get it back, but the mysterious disappearance of Azusa changed my plans. I also learned by accident that it was in your hands. I happened to meet Atu. He was not my opponent, but the yellow smoke he spilled when he fled was a ghost corpse powder exclusively refined by the ghost clan, made from corpse powder, five poisonous insects, and some other evil substances. The inhaler's body is not abnormal at first, but after 7749 days, he will die of poison, and after death, he will become a walking corpse for the ghost clan to drive, so it is said that you are about to die. As for the secret of Azusa Muyu, you don't need to know. Behind Long Qifan's calm tone, it always made me feel a little strange, what was wrong, and I couldn't figure it out for a while.
When we heard that the yellow smoke we had just inhaled was made from corpse powder, we all retched together. Not to mention the damn toxicity, just this disgusting energy can make the three of us uncomfortable.
"So, this Dragon Master, how can we detoxify? Do you want to go to the hospital? The Sprinkle family has acquaintances in the hospital. "The scholar just wants to detoxify quickly.
"It's useless, before the attack of this poison, there was only a black line in the pulse of both hands, and nothing unusual could be detected at all. Over time, the black line went up. At forty-nine days, the black line reaches the head, and the poison is immediately attacked. The rate of deterioration is very rapid and there is no specific medicine to treat it. "Look at the appearance of the dragon, it doesn't look like nonsense. He paused, and then said: "In addition, you don't have to call me any dragon master, when we meet today, it can be regarded as fate, and we should call each other brothers." I rank the fourth in the clan, so I will call me Long Qifan or Long Si. ”
"Dragon Four? This is too awkward to call, not to mention that if you save our third brother once today, even if you owe you a favor. People in the rivers and lakes, morality first. Since then, the Sprinkle family will call you 'Fourth Master', and if you need it in the future, you will go all out and go to the soup and fire! The scholar said in a special way.
"Damn, scholar, don't talk about uselessness first. That, the dragon... Fourth Master, according to what you say, isn't it that we can only wait for death? I looked at my hands, and sure enough, as Long Qifan said, there was a black line looming. I'm going crazy, so much has happened in this short period of time, and now I've heard that if you have to wait for death, you won't be a good comrade if you don't get mad.
"In the whole world, in addition to the antidote of the ghost sect, the only one who can cure this poison is to find Huishengzhi. I know that there is a place where Huishengzhi exists, but whether the three of you are willing to go with me or not, but that place is not like a tour, it is difficult and dangerous, and you will die for a lifetime. After Long Siye finished speaking, he looked at the three of us silently.
"Horizontal is also death, vertical is also death, even so, Longtan Tiger's Den, the Sprinkle family will follow you. I'll go! The scholar gritted his teeth and refused with an expression.
"Banren, you go slowly, I will cheer you on, you must return triumphantly, when the time comes, you bring back Huishengzhi, I will give you a wine to celebrate. I'm not going, waiting for your antidote! "I'm teasing the scholar.
"Xia Nan, you seventh grandson! Wait for Lao Tzu to come back and burn paper for you. The scholar shot back.
"I'll go too. Just take a look. There is such a miraculous poison and antidote in the world, it is worth the risk. "Lao Xu always said so clearly.
When Long Qifan was watching us, I was also secretly observing him. Black lines also appeared on his hands. It seems that he did not lie to us. Since the scholar has decided to give it a go, there is no reason for me to wait at home to die. What's more, Long Siye said that once the Huisheng Zhi was pulled out of the soil, it would wither and erode after a few minutes and lose its medicinal properties. Therefore, if you get the ghost corpse powder, you must ask for medicine in person to survive.
