Chapter 40: Changing Lives Against the Heavens 1
readx;? I've heard the names of those Qimen secret techniques, but the core content of "changing one's life against the sky" is far more than what he said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"You don't believe me?" he asked, smiling when he saw that I had been silent.
"I ...... Letter. "I laughed, too, but it was very difficult.
His life has changed from ordinary to supreme, while my life has become extremely ordinary, which is the saddest thing for me.
Strangely, when he talks about changing his life, he doesn't seem to be happy himself.
"I wish you success and everything you just said. "That's all I can say.
"Of course I can do it. He said, "It's rare to have such an opportunity to talk at night, why don't you tell you something more interesting?"
Before I could nod, he had already continued: "I am very interested in Jing Ke, when I was young, I spent a lot of time researching the location of his tomb, hired a master to dig into the cave, and discovered a big secret of his. β
Tomb robbing and treasure hunting are common, but it is not common for him to hire people to rob tombs out of personal interest.
"What is it?" I asked.
"He's changed his life, and he's done it in a more primitive way, and it's been changed more thoroughly. He replied.
The character of Jing Ke flashed like a meteor piercing the night sky in history, and then disappeared, which is really a very incredible thing. According to the estimation of modern historians, he is a master who may achieve imperial hegemony, and he will not be hasty but will live a lifetime. Of course, there are too many unsolvable mysteries in history, and it's not just Jing Ke. The 5,000-year-old history of our Chinese nation is splendid, and in the corner where the sun does not shine, all kinds of puzzles are overgrown like weeds, waiting for future generations to discover and find them.
What the gray-robed man told me next did not appear in the official history or the wild history, but I firmly believed that what he said was true, because I believed him, and I believed every word he said.
The following is the original words of the gray-robed man-
"I hired the best tomb robbers, stepped on the spot for three months, and finally determined the exact location of Jing Ke's tomb. On the day the tomb was dug up, it was already late autumn. I entered the tomb, and in addition to the black wooden coffin, I saw the murals on the earthen walls around it. The content of the mural is not the common fishing, hunting, banquet and the like, but an accurate and detailed description of Jing Ke's life history. In his time, the text was obscure and difficult to write, but it was not as intuitive as these paintings with simple lines. In the painting, he has been tempered by nature since he was a baby, and I can distinguish that in addition to lightning strikes, rain, wind, and flooding, he is also gnawed by all kinds of snakes and scorpions...... As I understand it, this represents a process of natural elimination. It is because he has withstood all the tests that he can prove that he is the strongest. After that, he was hung upside down from a tree and grew backwards for a long time, which is exactly the same as the cultivation principle in the Yi Jin Sutra. Most importantly, I saw a strange totemic symbol painted on his chest, which was a bird with its wings outstretched, and seven different creatures on its wings and back. It didn't look like it was painted, because he had it since he was a baby. When I opened the wooden coffin and saw Jing Ke's corpse, this was even more confirmed, and there were intermittent traces of symbols on his chest bones. It is enough to prove that the symbol grew out of his body, was born with it, and will not disappear when he dies. Next to the corpse, there were eleven bundles of bamboo slips, and after being translated into modern characters, the truth of his life change history was revealed. At first, he thought of himself as a hero who was born to rule the world and command all beings, because the totemic symbol clearly stated this...... I tried to guess that the picture of the bird carrying the creature seemed to be closer to the legend of the ark and the great flood, did it mean that the ancestors of Jing Ke's clan had saved the desolate world? The last part of the bamboo slip has a self-description -- this is really a bit strange, because Jing Ke was killed in the Qin Palace, how could he have the opportunity to sum up his life? Could it be that Yan Guo had written it long before he went to Qin State...... In that self-description, it is said that he regrets mishearing the intention of others to summon the assassin Qin, and if he does not take this wrong step, he will have a more brilliant future......"
His narrative is staccato and interspersed with his own arguments, sounding very difficult to understand.
I remember that I had seen the painting of "Seven Objects with Birds" somewhere, but I couldn't remember where.
My guess is that he hides some key plot points in his narration, so the whole story becomes a preamble that doesn't match the afterword.
"Isn't that interesting?" he asked.
I nodded reluctantly.
"I've never shared it with anyone, not even the closest ones. He said again.
As he spoke, the snow outside was heavier, and the river beach in the distance had been obliterated by snowflakes.
"The snow gets heavier, and the show is about to begin. Also, I have a friend I want to introduce to you!" he said.
I thought he was talking about Sang Qinghong, so I didn't ask more.
Of course, it is a very complicated thing to change one's life against the sky, and I even thought that it would change a person's temperament and temperament, which would be equivalent to eliminating a person and creating a new one.
"Say, can I make it?" he muttered to himself, looking at Mi Xue in distraction.
At this moment, the shell that he had always been hard was broken, revealing a little lack of confidence in his heart.
Probably this is the inevitable result of changing your life, because your fate has been changed by others and no longer belongs to you completely, so you will always have hidden worries in your heart.
I replied to him in my heart, "I don't know." β
"Jing Ke should have asked himself the same question when he crossed Yishui, right?" he muttered to himself.
I think the prospects for this war are a bit bleak.
The story of "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows" takes place in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, when human meteorological knowledge was about zero. By the time of World War II, the Japanese army's intelligence gathering efficiency was the highest in the world, and it was impossible not to have a special meteorological team. So, no matter how heavy the snow is, they can't go wrong with their radio communications and pathfinder scouts.
"If I return victorious, this sword will be given to you. His hand landed on the handle of the Devil's Head Knife.
I smiled bitterly, in the 21st century society under the rule of law, even if there is a peerless sword, what is the use?
"This knife is unpredictable and extremely spiritual. He stroked the back of the knife again.
"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.
I looked up to my right, and a dozen paces away, an extremely heavy black wooden door was tightly closed.
"My friend has arrived. He said, but his palm didn't leave the Devil's Head Knife, just like me, looking at the door from afar.
As soon as the door opened, a man hurriedly rushed in, but it was an extremely thin young man, only about one meter and sixty meters tall, and the palm of his hand clinging to his side was as thin as two bird's claws.
This person naturally can't be Sang Qinghong, which surprised me slightly.
"Advisorβ" The man saluted to the gray-robed man.
"Where's Xiao Tu?" he asked.
"It's here in the blink of an eye. The young man replied, his eyes falling on me.
As soon as I looked at his eyes, I understood that this man was not right, and his eyes were wandering.
In war, no one should take it lightly. Those who were killed by bullets fired from behind were all unsuspecting warriors.
In this room, in addition to the door being an entrance, there is also this window behind us. So, my ears pricked up and I listened intently to the movement in the window.
"This time, everyone is famous for the ages. The gray-robed man said.
"I am willing to follow my eldest brother to the death, not to seek fame through the ages, but to seek my brother's life and death. The young man said.
The gray-robed man stepped forward and left the Devil's Head Knife. I moved slightly, keeping the knife behind me.
"Big brother, as soon as the battle begins, everything here must be withdrawn, don't be left behind. The young man said.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't panic. The gray-robed man nodded, "Before leaving, remember to bring the gossip mirror on the girder, that is the most important thing." β
The young man looked up at Liang Yi, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, I have a lot of words, is that the legendary 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror'?
The young man's words reminded me that the clue to the "Divine Appearance Water Mirror" pursued by the Japanese invaders was in this gray-robed man. When he dies, all clues are broken.
The gray-robed man shook his head: "How is it possible......?" How can it really be a mirror?"
I felt that he was saying this to me, as if he was trying to remind me of something.
The young man raised his hand and scratched his head: "Big brother, I don't understand, since that baby is called 'Divine Water Mirror', why is it not a mirror?
The gray-robed man walked to the table, and his right index finger stretched out again, pointing to the Yellow River diagram.
I stared at his fingertips, and this time, they didn't touch the map, so the strange bright silver didn't appear.
"Big brother, what are you...... What do you mean?" the young man scratched his head, and the gray-white dander fluttered like snow.
"It's not interesting. The gray-robed man shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
This time, I am convinced that his words are for me, and his actions are for me to see.
"What about Xiao Tu, still not coming?" he asked again.
The young man smiled: "It's almost there, it's almost there." β
The gray-robed man laughed: "Alas, somehow, I've been very breathless lately, and I'm very anxious about whatever I do. Xiao Tu won't come again, I really can't wait-"
Before he could finish speaking, I heard a strange noise from the window.
I turned my head and saw a man flipping in from the top edge of the window frame, holding a spear flat in both hands, aiming at the back of the gray-robed man, hooking his index finger and about to pull the trigger.
Actually, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, just like the gray-robed man said, "I really can't wait."
Although my hand was hanging by my side, my five fingers were already open, aiming at the hilt of the ghost head knife.
As soon as the man with the spear appeared, I had already bent down and raised my knife, slashed in a semicircle, and slashed horizontally at the spear.
The knife was so sharp that it barely made a sound, and it severed the spear and slammed one of the assailants' index fingers.
At the same time, the gray-robed man stretched out his right hand and locked the young man's throat, and with a twist of his backhand, the young man fell limply.
The sneak attacker didn't have time to escape through the window, and the gray-robed man threw a shot, and the sneak attacker's temple was pierced.
This raid came and went as fast as I could, and my alliance with the gray-robed man was as natural as flowing water. However, there was no triumphant smile on his face.
"Changing one's life is part of fate, and not changing one's life is also part of fate. When he spoke, his tone was unusually sad.
"What do you mean?" I knew things weren't good.
"The Bagua Mirror has told me everything that is happening in front of me, and I can change my life, but who can tell me what it takes to change in order to find the best path in life?" he opened his hands to me and let out this philosophical lament.
I understood what he meant, and because there were so many paths to choose from, he was in the dilemma of going astray, hesitating left and right, not knowing which way to go.
