Chapter 38: The Heart of the Cave
Huang Pu looked at the token in his hand silently, speechless for a while.
Then, he got up and looked at the fat man with tears in his eyes, and said gently: "You see, my mission has been completed, and I don't need me for the following things, and I will go to meet my final destination." ”
The fat man knew what he was talking about, so he said to him, "I'll take you away, I'll take you to my master, and then we'll go to another world, a world you've never seen before, and you can be a new person, be a free man, and do whatever you want." ”
For more than a year, Huang Pu has known what the world he is in is, and he has been yearning for the cultivation path in the fat man's mouth for a long time, but he is a person who pursues perfection, he can't hastily put an end to his ideals, he must finish the road he has planned, so he rejected the fat man's proposal and said: "No, I can't go, I want to see the world I want to be built with my own eyes, otherwise, I can't feel at ease." ”
The fat man knew that he couldn't persuade him, he was the most stubborn person the fat man had ever seen in his life, so he no longer persuaded him, but said, "I will send you on your last ride." ”
Huang Pu thanked him, and then no longer paid attention to the fat man, but called the deputy marshal Di Yuan in.
Di Yuan is a middle-aged man, known for his scheming and sophistry, but in front of Huang Pu, in front of this weak scholar in his twenties, his proud wisdom seems so ridiculous, like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
For Huang Pu, he was in awe, hated but afraid, but he didn't dare to show the slightest, so he could only listen respectfully to Huang Pu's instructions.
Huang Pu said to him: "Now, there is not one of the original one hundred and nine kingdoms and ten kingdoms, you should be brave and diligent, and crush it with the momentum of destruction and decay, within three months, you must be unified, you may be able to do it." ”
Di Yuan shouted the order: "If you can't, your subordinates will come to see you." ”
Huang Pu said: "Okay, from now on, you are the generalissimo of the Chu State, immediately pull out the camp, without delay, go." ”
Di Yuan took the order and left, and after a while, the war drums in the army were beating, the golden sound, and the army left the camp in an orderly manner, leaving only the big tent of the Chinese army alone there.
Huang Pu stood on the high platform in front of the tent, watching the army go away, slowly disappearing from his sight, his right hand clenched into a fist, and slammed down on his chest, from today on, he is no longer a general, the 400,000 army he built with his own hands is no longer under his jurisdiction, Huang Pu's heart, for no reason, feels relieved, very comfortable.
The fat man led a horse, Huang Pu turned over on the horse, without saying a word, galloped his horse, contrary to the army, and the fat man opened his legs and followed.
It's not that the fat man doesn't want to ride a horse, it's just that there may be a ride in this world that can bear the weight of the fat man, but the fat man hasn't seen it, and it's not that he hasn't seen it, according to the fat man's estimate, the master's old scalper must be able to easily support himself, but he can't even think of riding the old scalper's back.
Because according to the steel hammer accidentally revealed, there are only two people in the Seven Realms who can ride the old ox, the master is one of them, and the other is the highest existence in the human world, it seems that his name is Hongjun, and the fat man is unconscious.
Speaking of the two ends, since the fat man and Tuoba Pifu separated, more than a year and a half time has passed, more than a year, the three masters and apprentices seem to have disappeared, the fat man has never seen it, sometimes the fat man also wonders, whether they threw themselves here and went back by themselves.
Of course not, after sending the fat man to protect Huangpu that day, the master and apprentice walked all the way, touring the mountains and rivers, and experiencing the people's dire situation.
Cha Cha didn't care, but Tuoba Huai was full of compassion and did what he could.
On this day, night, and in the wilderness, there was a courtyard abruptly, and the three people living in it were naturally the three masters and apprentices of Tuoba Pifu.
The three of them were eating, and suddenly heard the call of the big black dog, and before the cry fell, appeared in front of the three, as if there was something in his mouth, and he circled around Tuoba Pifu proudly.
Tuoba kicked the hammer and reached out to snatch the contents of his mouth.
Looking closely, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "I finally found it." ”
Cha Cha looked at what looked like a piece of meat, but it didn't look like it, and asked puzzledly, "Master, what is this?" ”
Tuoba Huai's eyes lit up with surprise, and he reached out to take the fleshy thing in Tuoba Pifu's hand, turned around and walked into the kitchen again.
Tuoba Pifu licked his lips involuntarily, looked at Cha Cha's puzzled gaze, and explained to her: "This is a good thing, its name is Tai Sui, the meat is like meat, attached to the boulder, there are both heads and tails, rare in the world, it can only grow near the heart of the cave, and once the cave is refined by others, the Tai Sui will naturally die out and will not exist in the world." ”
Cha Cha said: "It seems that rare is secondary, and delicious is the right thing." ”
Tuoba Pifu laughed and said, "Of course, through the hands of your senior brother, it must be a peerless delicacy, and you will know when you eat it." ”
Cha Cha asked again, "What is that Heavenly Heart?"
Tuoba Pifu replied: "If the human world where we are located is a fish, then the cave is the scale of this fish, and it can also be said that it is the descendant of this fish, that is, the descendants, which must contain some origin of the human world, these origins come from the human world, but there is a detachment and existence, the origin of the human world is too big, no one can take it for themselves, and the origin of the cave is very young, so there is an opportunity to refine, and the origin is the heart of the cave sky." ”
Cha Cha asked again: "Then what's the use of refining the heart of the Cave Heaven?"
"The role is threefold. First, after refining, it can coexist with this cave sky, and if the cave heaven does not die, then people will not disappear, and it has the effect of immortality; second, the person who refines the cave heaven is the master of this cave heaven, and one word can determine the life and death of the people in the world; third, after refining, it is equivalent to a part of the origin of the human world, and the natural enlightenment is easy, and the avenue can be expected. With these three, every new cave born will be bloody. Tuoba Pifu replied.
"So, how do you refine the cave sky?"
"The cave heaven has its own will, and if you accept this will, you can refine the cave sky. ”
"How do I take it?"
"There are two methods, one is to break it by force and force it to die, and there is a fifty percent chance of success; second, those who have great merit to this cave heaven have an eighty percent chance of obtaining the approval of this cave heaven and can refine it. ”
"Can I refine it?"
"Your strength is not good yet. You can't do the second method. ”
"Where's Senior Brother?"
"Your senior brother's strength karma is still poor, you can try the second method, but your senior brother doesn't need that, because this cave heaven doesn't help him in any way. ”
"What about the fat man?"
"Your junior brother's strength is not a little bit worse, don't even think about it, he doesn't have that ability with the second method. ”
"What about you, Master?"
"What do I want it for, and besides, after refining, I won't be able to eat delicious, whoever wants to refine it, I'm in a hurry. ”
"Even if you don't refine, Master, how long can you eat? ”
Tuoba Pifu smiled and said: "You don't know this, Tai Sui can't eat it before it dies, how much you eat, he can grow back in a moment, and there is an inexhaustible supply of good things." ”
Cha Cha was speechless, in the final analysis, his master was a foodie.
As he was talking, Tuoba Huai walked out with a plate, but it was already ready.
Tuoba Pifu was impatient, picked up a large piece of chopsticks, and it was not too hot, so he put it in his mouth, and then slowly closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing.
Cha Cha and Tuoba Huai also took a bite, Rao is their taste is already extremely tricky, and they still feel full of flavor and delicious.
A plate of dishes, Tuoba Pifu ate three bites, Tuoba Huai and Chacha each ate a mouthful, steel hammer ate two bites, the old scalper ate two bites, just gone, anxious Tuoba Pifu grabbed his ears and cheeks, immediately grabbed the steel hammer, and ordered him to quickly take himself and others to find that Tai Sui.
So, the group stopped sleeping, and after collecting the courtyard, they followed the steel hammer.
About an hour later, the group actually came to a tomb group, and the gatehouse said "Chu Ancestral Tomb".
It turned out that they came to the outskirts of the capital of Chu State, the mausoleum of the Chu royal family, and there was no psychological barrier to the cemetery or something, so they quietly bypassed the guards and went in in the dark.
Going around and around, I came to a small forest, there was a deep crypt in the forest, apparently it had just been dug out not long ago, it was naturally a masterpiece of steel hammer, it seemed that Tai Sui, must be under this crypt.
For this dog hole, Tuoba Pifu is naturally reluctant to drill, fortunately, there is Tuoba Huai, only to see Tuoba Huai is currently walking, every step out, there is a zhang wide replacement appeared at the foot, straight to the ground to spread, wait for a group of people to walk through, and then restore as before, no traces.
The way of the mountain, the soil and stone of the mountain are all in my heart, my meaning, is the meaning of the soil and stone, open the mountain and crack the stone, but wait for leisure, the ladder is self-generated, and the small road ear.
When I didn't walk much, I suddenly saw a light bright, a few people walked a few steps quickly, only to see that the eyes suddenly opened up, and an underground karst cave with a length of 100 zhang and a height of 10 zhang suddenly appeared in the eyes of several people.
The light came for no reason, it seemed to be born naturally, and the whole cave shone brightly, and it was bound to appear. I saw that there is a three-zhang square waterhole in the middle of this karst cave, above the waterhole, several stone pillars hang upside down, "tick" and "tick" are dripping water into the waterhole, the water in Tan is crystal clear, a small fish swims in it, seeing a few people coming, curiously popping up, spitting a blister, then no longer pay attention to a few people, continue to swim slowly in the waterhole.
Chacha looked at the little fish and said suspiciously, "Hey, why are there any fish here?"
Tuoba Pifu replied nonchalantly: "That is the origin of this cave sky, it has just existed for too long and has been transformed, there is nothing strange." Look at the big stone in the middle, the thing that grows on it is Tai Sui, Xiaohuai, go and cut some back, and we will continue to eat. ”
But there is a big stone in the middle of the pool, there is a thing on the big stone, the shape is like Ganoderma lucidum, but it exudes a hazy multicolored light, the red one is like coral, the white one is like fat, the black one is like lacquer, the green one is like a green feather, the yellow one is like purple gold, all are bright and penetrating like ice, it is that Tai Sui.
In fact, in this cave, the most precious fish at that time, after all, is the heart of the cave, and the world can't ask for it, but for foodies, the small fish is definitely not as important as the things on the big stone, just because it is delicious, and the fish is not delicious.
Tuoba Huai and Cha Cha were helpless, but they could only obey the master's orders, Cha Cha crossed over, cut the whole Tai Sui in half, jumped back again, and handed the cut things to Tuoba Huai.
Tuoba Huai set up the stove and began to prepare.
In just such a moment, the Tai Sui has recovered as before, and the magic of creation is nothing more than that.
