Chapter 6: A Golden Book
Chapter VI
Blue is the sky, emerald green is the earth. The pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info the water waves are not alarmed, and the breeze is not dry. Everything is as usual, and it couldn't be calmer anymore.
Heaven and earth are still the same, and the flower pavilion is still the same.
But the three of them in the verdant green opened their mouths wide, and their faces were surprised and incredible.
"Is this ~~ a strange lock?"
This is the question in Xu Sheng's mind, and it is also the doubt of the other three.
Xu Yiyi was speechless in surprise, and so was Zhanchen Feng, of course he had tried the Qitian Lock, it was extremely heavy, like a giant mountain, and he only barely lifted it with enough strength. And at this moment, Xu Sheng looks plain and natural, looks like he has a smooth breath, and he looks like he is just carrying an ordinary stone lock.
"Child, is it really not heavy?" Elder Hua was also full of surprise, he had been here for more than a hundred years, and in the past hundred years, he had seen too many people try, only some of them succeeded, and only a very few of these people could bear the weight of the stone lock above their heads. I have never encountered such an ease as Xu Sheng, and even Xu Sha has a heavy face.
"It's okay! It's not as heavy as I imagined!" Xu Sheng held the stone lock in both hands, although he felt strained, but it was not as heavy as he imagined, he let go of one hand, and he could carry it with one arm, and swing it in his hand.
Several people were stunned, the stone lock became much "lighter" in Xu Sheng's hands, it can be said that it was like a mortal thing, Elder Hua's eyes widened, and he was stunned and said, "Everyone in the clan knows the power of Xu Sha, but they don't know Xu Sheng's ability! ”
Elder Hua was more than two hundred years old, and he had seen so much that there were not many things that could shock him, and he muttered, "It is really a great blessing for my Xu family to have two sons, saint and evil!"
As soon as his voice fell, he thought about it for a while, and said, "No, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers!"
"Elder Hua, can I get this page of the golden book?" asked Xu Sheng with a few strokes of the stone lock.
"Yes, yes, I'll have someone send the golden book another day!" Elder Hua nodded repeatedly.
Xu Sheng was delighted, he had already learned that a page of the golden book was the personal transmission of the god of war, and if he could get it, the great magic power in the enlightenment could make him like a tiger.
Xu Sheng gently lowered the stone lock, and the expression on Elder Hua's face returned to composure, and said, "It's just that no one seems to have ever gotten the secret in the Golden Book in the past ten thousand years. ”
"What? never!" At this time, it was Xu Sheng's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, never. At least, no one gets it on the surface. Elder Hua said, turning his head to look at Zhanchen Feng.
Zhan Chenfeng looked a few years older than Xu Sheng, he was brought back from outside by Elder Hua, and he had always been silent, and he would never speak when he spoke.
"Although there is mystery in it, there is chaos. Zhan Chenfeng shook his head and said.
He was able to lift the Celestial Lock, so he got a golden book, but he didn't have the secret to get it.
"No one has ever gotten it for 10,000 years?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask again.
"Not in the record. ”
"Didn't my father get it?"
"No!"
"Xu Sha didn't either?"
"Nope. ”
"It's... No way. ”
"Maybe someone got it and didn't say it!"
Xu Sheng pondered, over the past 10,000 years, the Xu family has produced many capable and strong people, and it is not realistic to say that no one has gotten it.
"Back then, the God of War was included in the immortal class to leave a legacy, and the first head of the family was a disciple of the God of War and his friend, and the rule set at that time was that anyone who lifted the Qitian Lock could get a page of golden books for seven days, regardless of genre or race. At that time, the Qitian lock was far heavier than it is today, and almost no one could lift it, and only one barbarian succeeded, but he failed to comprehend the mystery of the Golden Book. This lasted for more than a thousand years, after the first head of the family left, the clansmen stipulated that only family members were allowed, and outsiders were not allowed to participate, for fear that the mysteries of the golden book would be spread to outsiders. Thousands of years later, the Dao techniques in the Qitian Lock gradually dissipated, and more and more people were able to lift the Qitian Lock, but no one got the secret in it. Elder Hua said slowly, telling the news that several people did not know.
"The first rule is that there is no restriction on race, no restriction on genre!" Xu Sheng was surprised, the first head of the family was a disciple of the God of War and his friend, and the rules he set must also be the will of the God of War.
"Could it be that this page of the golden book is not designed for the Xu family, but for the living beings of the world!" Although Xu Yiyi is young, he is smart and clever, and he has figured out some things at once.
A golden book.
A puzzle that hasn't been solved for thousands of years. What the god of war left behind, no one can know.
Xu Sheng's guessing at this moment was also in vain, and only when Elder Hua was approved from the clan could there be a glimmer of hope.
"Young master!"
At this time, someone outside the flower pavilion called, it was the canonization ceremony that was about to begin, and the garden of the flower pavilion was designed with the principle of gossip, and it was difficult to go to the attic if no one led it.
Xu Sheng and Xu Yiyi left, and the disciples of the Xu family achieved excellent results in this ring competition, exalted the prestige of the Xu family, returned to the clan, and rewarded it under the stone statue of the god of war, and the glory was supreme.
A total of twenty young people, all of them were high-spirited and high-spirited, and the major elders attended one after another, and Xu Tianxi and his parents presented awards to twenty people, and these people all had smiles on their faces.
They are role models for their peers and their goals. Xu Sheng is also obsessed with watching it offstage, and if one day, he will be brilliant.
Xu Yiyi followed beside her, her face was full of admiration, and she said excitedly, "When I become an elder, I will become a master in the world, even if I can't become a master, I will marry a person who stands up to the sky!"
After the canonization ended, Xu Tianxi was busy with affairs again, Xu Sheng went back to his residence, it was simple here, and there were not many people, and now Xu Sheng was inevitably a little lonely.
However, Xu Sheng has long been accustomed to this kind of coldness. When the sun set, he stared at the night with his eyes and rushed towards a low mountain behind the courtyard, this mountain is not high, but the trees on both sides of the mountain road are luxuriant, and there is an open space on the top of the mountain.
He walked lightly, like a monkey walking towards the top of the mountain, and only when he reached the mountainside could smell the smell of roasted meat in the air.
The fragrance drifted with the wind, Xu Sheng sniffed his nose, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly before speeding up.
There was also a dense jungle in the open space at the top of the mountain, and in the dark night there was a lot of oppression, and occasionally a few birdsong could be heard, but in the dense forest there was a faint fire, and wisps of green smoke rose, which was the source of the fragrance.
Xu Sheng walked faster and called out, "Senior!"
This low mountain has no aura, it does not gather dragon veins, it is not high and not dangerous, ordinary people can no longer be ordinary, no one will return to the top of the mountain on weekdays, and no one will hide in the mountains at night to roast pheasants.
However, Xu Sheng is obviously familiar with the people in the forest, he is in the past, the fire in the dark forest is extraordinarily bright, in front of the fire, a thin old man is sitting on a pile of dry firewood, holding a roast chicken in his hand, the fragrance is coming from this roast chicken, the old man's ten fingers grasp the fat roast chicken, these ten fingers are as thin as firewood, almost skin and bones.
In front of the fire, the old man was wearing a black cloth coat, maybe he was too thin, this dress was extraordinarily loose, his face was sallow, it was an old skin wrapped around his head, and this skin was full of wrinkles and black spots, he was in stark contrast to Xu Sheng's fine skin and tender flesh, and the pair of more cloudy eyes were also very blurred, like a lonely old man who was kicked out of the house, if he only stared at his eyes, most people would sympathize.
"Senior, are you feeling better, I brought you some herbs!" Xu Sheng took out a packet of herbs from his arms and handed it to the old man.
In front of the fire, the old man had already eaten half of the pheasants, he did not speak, but stopped his mouth, and then slowly raised his head, this face was sallow and thin, as if it were a dead man's face, no flesh, no blood, just an old skin tightly wrapped around a head.
Xu Sheng was unmoved, nor was he frightened. Because he had seen even more terrifying images, that was when he first met the old man. It was more than a month ago, and the old man fell from the sky.
Of course, it's not like the legendary immortals. Instead, it smashed straight on the low mountain like a falling meteor, and the blood was thick everywhere, and the old man was bleeding from all over his body, and his whole body was bright red, and the flowers and plants in the blood-stained land withered, and the killing was invisible.
Of course, Xu Sheng was taken aback when he saw the old man's appearance, of course he would go over to help, of course his hands would touch the old man's bloody arm, and of course he would also be infected by the poisonous blood. Of course, they also "died" on the spot like this flowers and plants everywhere.
However, he did not die.
When he woke up again, he only felt weak and weak. The old man stood in front of him with a thin body, no blood on his body, but he was still like a dried corpse.
The old man handed him the pill and told him to take it, and he felt his whole body slowly regain his strength.
He didn't know what was going on, the old man roughly explained to him that his body seemed to be no different from ordinary people, but in fact it was very different, the poisonous blood full of blood could wither flowers and plants on the spot, so that the living beings perished, Xu Sheng was just a child who should have died violently on the spot, but he still bought him a lot of time, so that the old man had time to heal him.
"So I'm invincible?" Xu Sheng asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "No." But it is far stronger than the body that is invincible to all poisons. It's just that he is still young at the moment, and his body does not show great power. ”
The old man is like a dried corpse, with a strange personality and a very mysterious personality. But he didn't have any ill intentions towards Xu Sheng, and even told Xu Sheng all kinds of anecdotes on the mainland, and also taught him to recognize a lot of precious famous medicines.
Xu Sheng gradually lost his heart for him, perhaps because there were too few people to talk to on weekdays, he gradually opened his heart to the old man, and often found the back mountain to talk with him at night.
And the old man was injured, he took this opportunity to recuperate, and he didn't have any plans for Xu Sheng, if Xu Sheng came here, he would chat a few more words. If Xu Sheng didn't come for a few days, the old man wouldn't come to look for him, as if they were just passers-by who met for a short time. If you come, you will not refuse. If you go, you don't stay.
And Xu Sheng likes to come here more and more, he likes to listen to the old man talk about the outside world, talk about the masters on the mainland, and talk about interesting things on the mainland. In just one month, he has gained a lot of knowledge.
"How. The old man looked up at the herbs in Xu Sheng's hand, he was unmoved, and he didn't put down the chicken leg in his hand, and said leisurely, "Tonight, do you want to hear the story of black and white?"
"Hee-hee!" Xu Sheng smiled, he withdrew the herbs, and said mysteriously, "The story naturally needs to be heard, but before I hear it, I have to say something even more incredible." ”
"What is unbelievable about you!" the old man disdained and continued to eat the roast chicken in his hand.
"How come I can't have something incredible?" Xu Sheng was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Have you heard of Qitian Lock?"
"I've heard that the stone lock that the god of war exercised when he was young is unbeatable in the world!" the old man replied lightly.
"Yes. But have you heard of the rules set by the Xu family?" Xu Sheng asked mysteriously.
"I've heard that if anyone can lift the stone lock, they can observe the Xu family's secret technique. But this rule has been changed in the last thousand years!"
"Yes, Qi Tiansuo is not an outsider, only a disciple of the Xu family!"
"What do you want to explain?" asked the old man, "do you want me to tell you how many people in history have lifted the Strange Heavenly Lock?" ”
"Wrong. It's not a few people who have lifted the Strange Sky Lock. Instead, today I raised the stone lock!" Xu Sheng said proudly.
"What! you lifted the Strange Sky Lock?"
The old man's face changed suddenly, he became extremely shocked, and he lost half of the roast chicken in his hand, and looked at Xu Sheng on the other side of the fire in disbelief.
(I like a book review, thank you!)
