Chapter 9 Chapter 35 Apples are so sweet
"Good. I'm listening. ”
As he spoke, Su Wangting took out an apple from his arms, sat on the beach, and nibbled on his own.
Situ Kong once again glanced vigilantly in the direction of the Luoxiatan Sect, and said softly: "According to records, more than 1,400 years ago, many people in all parts of Kyushu saw a huge fluorescent light suddenly rise in the night sky. The fluorescent fluorescence hovered high in the sky for a moment and then suddenly exploded, and nine meteors scattered from the fluorophore. ”
Su Wangting asked vaguely, "That is the present world of the ninth chapter of the Heavenly Machine?" ”
Situ Kong nodded slightly, and then said: "Since that night, many people in the rivers and lakes at that time have received anonymous letters, and the contents of the letters are the same. ”
"What's the content?"
"They are all about the nine chapters of the Heavenly Machine. The names of the miraculous feats obtained by collecting the nine chapters of the Heavenly Machine, and how to obtain the scriptures through the moonlight after collecting the white jade tablets, are all from those mysterious letters at that time. ”
Su Wangting waved his hand: "I don't care how those nine white jade pieces appeared, I only care about where they are now." ”
"At that time, after witnessing the vision in the night sky, a monk silently recorded the general direction of the nine meteors and speculated on the possible place to fall. According to the records of the Fangshi relics collected by the predecessors of our sect, it is certain that six meteors fell in the territory of Kyushu, and two of them are presumed to have fallen into the bitter cold land north of Kyushu, and one is very likely to have fallen in the territory of the Holy Fire Country in the Western Regions. ”
Su Wangting scratched his head when he heard this, and asked, "Is there a specific location?" ”
Situ Kong said with a smile: "As long as the white jade piece of the Nine Chapters of Tianji appears, it will cause an uproar on the rivers and lakes, and the disturbances will continue. And for more than 1,400 years, things like this have happened back and forth, so it's really embarrassing for you to ask me where I am now. ”
Su Wangting said blankly: "For a long time, you have pulled a lot of history for me, and there is no useful sentence?" It seems that you Luoxia Beach is not very capable. ”
Situ Kong smiled evilly: "Who said there was no." Guess how the heads of the four famous families learned that your Su family had a white jade piece? ”
"How did you find out?"
"Hehe, the letter your father sent you back then was stolen by our people from Luoxiatan halfway through, and after reading the contents of the letter, he continued to send it to Silla."
The corners of Su Wangting's eyes twitched when he heard this: "Wow, I said why is there a trace of the envelope being opened, it turns out that you are the ghost!" However, why are you staring only at my Su family's letters? ”
Situ Kong shrugged his shoulders: "It's not just staring at your Su family. Including your Su family, we have a total of four families, and these four families all have the possibility of family heirloom white jade tablets. Sure enough, in the end, it was found out that the white jade piece was in your Su family. ”
"You actually specific the scope of your suspicion to the four families, could it be that the white jade piece of my family has historical records?"
Situ Kong nodded and said, "Yes." According to the records in the Secret Pavilion, the leader of a small sect on the rivers and lakes was suddenly killed more than 400 years ago, and then his four sworn brothers also disappeared without a trace. According to the chief's widow, the leader had a white jade tablet in his hand, and only she and the four sworn brothers knew about it. Therefore, the leader was killed by his sworn brother, and his white jade piece was in the hands of one of the four who disappeared! And the ancestor of your Su family is one of those four people! ”
Su Wangting pursed his lips: "I see, I didn't expect that there would be such an unrighteous ancestor on the ancestor of my Su family." That...... Do you have any other clues about the white jade pieces in recent years? ”
Situ Kong stretched out a finger and said with a mysterious face: "In addition to the one in your family, there is another one, which is exactly recorded in the Secret Pavilion. ”
Su Wangting took out another apple from his arms and stuffed it into Situ Kong's hand: "Good, eat an apple and hurry up." ”
"Well, it's sweet." Situ Kong unceremoniously took a bite of the apple, "Do you know that more than a hundred years ago, there were five famous families on the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Oh? And one more? ”
Situ Kong nodded: "Yes, a sect that only accepts female disciples is called Phantom Smoke Pavilion." At that time, the Illusory Smoke Pavilion's sect mastered the 'Thunder Sword Style', but it could compete with Tianlan Peak. ”
"What does this Phantom Smoke Pavilion have to do with the white jade piece?"
Situ Kong sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity, the sect has been destroyed." One hundred and twenty years ago, the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion had a dispute with a senior of Tianlan Peak, and the two met to duel in front of a ruined temple. During the fight, he accidentally overturned a mud bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, and found that the mud bodhisattva stepped on a white jade piece under his feet. At that time, the main skill of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion was superior, and after injuring the senior of Tianlan Peak, he snatched the white jade piece and fled. Later, in addition to the Iron Mountain Temple, the three famous sects poured out of the nest and went straight to the white jade piece of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion, and the female disciples in the Phantom Smoke Pavilion were killed and injured at that time. ”
Su Wangting shook his head again and again: "To do evil, for the sake of a white jade piece, even the female generation will not let go!" ”
Situ Kong waved his hand to signal Su Wangting not to interrupt him, and then said: "Seeing that the general trend has gone, the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion has taken a group of elite disciples to fight his way out of the encirclement and flee all the way to the north. The three famous families pursued them relentlessly, and in the end, forced the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion to flee from Kyushu from the north and go straight to the bitter cold land in the extreme north. ”
"Hasn't anyone looked for them in the bitter cold all these years?"
Situ Kong sighed: "How can I not have it, but I have gone and never returned again and again." The environment of that bitter cold land is no less harsh than the desert of the Western Regions, and it is easy to lose its way when you hear that it is white as far as the eye can see. If you rush deeper, once you lose your way, you can only wait to be frozen to death. After several waves of people around the years, I never heard of any faction going again. After all, it is still a mystery whether the remnants of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion have long since frozen to death in that bitter cold place. ”
Su Wangting bowed slightly: "That is to say, there is definitely one that was taken to the bitter cold land." Moreover, according to the speculation of the 1,400-year-old scholars, there are also two pieces of the Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Machines that appeared for the first time in the world, and it is very likely that they will fall in that bitter cold place. So, there are probably three of them in that bitter cold land? ”
"Yes."
Su Wangting covered his face: "It's over." The bitter cold land is so big, even if it can survive, how to find those three small white jade pieces in the ice and snow. ”
"Hey, who's to say it's not. It's hard to find! ”
Su Wangting looked at Situ Kong's evil smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows: "You kid, are you still unfinished?" ”
Situ Kong sneered: "If it is... If you can give me a point or two in my practice, I'll tell you. ”
"You ......" Su Wangting repeated his old tricks, and his hand once again supported the hilt of the knife on his waist.
"Threaten me again?"
Su Wangting nodded.
Unexpectedly, Situ Kong threw the apple core into the sea, raised his head and said, "If you don't instruct me, even if you kill me, I won't say anything!" ”
"Drink?" Su Wangting helped the scabbard again.
"That's right! I'd rather die than say it!! You don't want to buy me with an apple! Situ Kong was righteous and awe-inspiring, and swallowed the last bite of the apple fiercely.
"Well, you win." Su Wangting's hand was lowered.
When Situ Kong heard this, he immediately smiled: "Then, there is a son of Lao Su?" ”
Su Wangting shook his head helplessly: "If I guessed correctly, you are all practicing the Changhong Guansun Heart Sutra that the Tieshan Temple rewarded you with now?" ”
Situ Kong nodded.
"Hmm... I have heard of the Changhong Heliocentric Sutra for a long time, and in general, it is not bad. But do you know that the cultivation method of the Silla Frost Flower Palace's sect is even better? ”
Situ Kong lost his voice and said, "Really? Will you teach me? ”
Su Wangting picked up a dead branch and grinned: "Why don't you do this, I will write the essence of this exercise on the beach, I will write it, and you will say it?" ”
Situ Kong's face was full of seriousness: "You write two lines first!" ”
"Good!"
After speaking, Su Wangting drew an apple on the beach.
Situ Kong clenched his fists: "Farewell!" I've said it all, Apple can't buy me!! ”
"Don't, I'll write."
Seeing that Su Wangting really began to write on the beach, Situ Kong smiled proudly.
"Don't write it out. Ahem...... In fact, as early as a year ago, I accidentally found a clue suspected to be related to the Phantom Smoke Pavilion in Jiangzhou City in Maozhou. It's just that there have been a lot of things sent by the sect in the past year, and you and Nie Yunfei have made such a fuss, so I haven't had time to continue to investigate that clue. Is this a clue? At present, I have not reported it to the sect, and I am the only one who knows. ”
"Jiangzhou City?" Su Wangting looked up at Situ Kong, "It's such a coincidence, it's near my hometown?" ”
"Hehe, it was accidentally discovered in Jiangzhou City when I inquired about your Su family's details a while."
Su Wangting sighed and continued to write bitterly: "Say it, I'll listen." ”
"I can only say that I am suspicious, and it doesn't necessarily have something to do with the Phantom Smoke Pavilion. The Frost Moon Tower in Jiangzhou City, you know, right? ”
"Yes. Didn't you sneakily send me a letter with a dart after you kidnapped my nephew? ”
Situ Kong grinned and said, "Yes, I sent that dart, hehe." The back door of the Frost Moon Tower is an alley. At the foot of the outer wall of the back door, a small mark was drawn in cinnabar. ”
"What kind of mark?"
Situ Kong squatted down and drew a simple pattern on the beach with his fingers.
"A cloud?"
Situ Kong nodded: "Yes." Back then, the sect mark of the Phantom Smoke Pavilion was a cloud. ”
Su Wangting frowned and said, "Just based on this, you suspect that it has something to do with the Phantom Smoke Pavilion?" Such a simple pattern can be drawn by a five-year-old child, so how do you know that it is not drawn by a child when he is playing? ”
Situ Kong spread his hands: "That's why I used the word 'doubt'." There is no time to explore further. ”
Su Wangting snorted and stopped writing on the beach: "What you said is equivalent to not saying it." That's it, you want to lie to me and give you the essence of the Frost Flower Palace? Hey, not even an apple is worth it. ”
"Don't make a fuss, keep writing."
Saying that, Situ Kong began to pace back and forth, shaking his head and saying leisurely: "Our ability to find out the news in Luoxia Beach is not in vain, but with careful observation and careful inference. If you think about it, that cinnabar is highly poisonous, except for funerals and the construction of painted exterior walls, who will always have that thing at home? How can it be easily obtained by the average child? Well? ”
Su Wangting bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Reasonable...... In this way, it is very likely that the pattern was deliberately painted by an adult. ”
"That's right. That's why I say - doubt. ”
Su Wangting threw away the dead branch in his hand, got up and clapped his hands: "Frost Moon Tower, is it." ”
Situ Kong was in a hurry, and grabbed Su Wangting: "Hey! Hey, hey, you've got to talk! I've told you everything I know, and you've got to finish it! ”
Su Wangting grinned: "If it is an exact clue, it is indeed worthy of me to give you the essence of the Frost Flower Palace." But does this have a clue of the word 'suspicion'...... It's worth giving you a first part. Hehe, you practice first, and then talk about it later. ”
After finishing speaking, Su Wangting shook off Situ Kong's hand, and a few ups and downs disappeared into the night.
Situ Kong scratched his head and stared at the words on the beach: "Part I??" ”
"Boom la la ......"
A wave of water suddenly rushed to the beach, covering the words on the beach.
The tide receded, and Situ was confused.
The words are all gone!!
Situ Kong held his head in his hands, wanting to cry without tears.
"Uncle's!! In the end, it wasn't just an apple that sent me away!! ”
