Chapter 10: The Rain Stone
On the tenth day of September, frost fell, and the weather was slightly cool.
On Tianzhu Mountain, the fog is thick and thick in the morning, so thick that everyone has to wear thick fur mink pants to resist the cold on the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, rows of different gangs are moving towards the top of the mountain one after another, even if Tianzhu Mountain is almost untenable, there are still gangs moving forward, seemingly regardless of the crowd in front.
They came to Tianzhu Mountain, firstly, for Song Saiyu, and secondly, to see the meteorite star.
"A month ago, a meteorite fell, and this meteorite has a nice name, called 'Tianyu Stone'."
"The name was given by a fortune teller."
"Mr. fortune teller, it's very strange to see that there is a pattern on this meteorite!"
"What's weird?"
"What do you see painted on the rain stone this day?"
"There are weapons and samurai wielding swords. What's wrong with this? ”
"The fortune teller said that the things in these patterns can be turned into alive!"
"How so? Will they jump out of the paper and become a living thing? ”
"Yes."
"This painting, not a painting, is a special weapon!"
"Is a meteorite star as big as an urn also a weapon?"
"Yes!"
Haojie looked at this meteorite star in surprise, a little distracted.
After the Tianyu Stone disappeared from Sichuan Province, it suddenly appeared on the top of Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui Province. It's like plane-shifting. On the top of Tianzhu Mountain, it emerges from a narrow gap in the air.
For a moment, Hu Xiao, the head of the Dragon Sect of Tianzhu Mountain, was shocked and puzzled. Came to the top of the mountain that night. All the apprentices were already on the top of the mountain to watch the Tianyu Stone. The eldest apprentice Qu Tiantian, he pointed to the Tianyu Stone and said: "There have been meteorites falling since ancient times. One day in the 36th year of Qin Shi Huang (211 BC), a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky in this place in Dongjun. The meteorite landed and spit out fire and mist, and the clouds and smoke were swirling, which had frightened the local people, and what was even more remarkable was that when the meteorite cooled down, some officials came forward to check and found that the meteorite was also engraved with the words "the first emperor died and the earth was divided". Such ominous words made the officials and the people even more frightened, and they had to report to the court honestly. Qin Shi Huang was of course shocked, and immediately sent Yushi to investigate the place where the meteorite landed. Goshi went from house to house to search for possible people who carved the letter, but found nothing. This result made the local people and the First Emperor wonder in their hearts, is this really a warning from heaven? ”
Second Senior Brother Hu Xiaodong said: "Senior Brother Qu, could it be that there is a meteorite star falling on Tianzhu Mountain today, is there any warning?" Our Tianzhu Mountain Longmen Sect is a century-old famous and upright family, and it has been peaceful and quiet for the past hundred years. ”
The third junior brother Ning De said: "Our Longmen Sect has occupied Tianzhu Mountain for a long time. The unique geographical location of Tianzhu Mountain makes Tianzhu Mountain present natural landscapes such as strange peaks, strange stones, hidden caves, canyons, etc., and is famous for its majesty, strangeness, spirit and beauty. The vegetation in Tianzhu Mountain is luxuriant, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 97%. On the pillars on both sides of the gorgeous gate of our Longmen faction, there is also a couplet 'Tianzhu is a peak of the sun and the moon, and the cave gate is a thousand thousand locks of clouds and thunder'. ”
The fourth junior disciple Shi Ziyan said: "The things that fall from the sky have good signs and bad signs. This time, the Tianyu Stone landed in the backyard of our Longmen Sect, I don't know whether it was happy or worried. ”
That's right, they are now in the backyard of the Longmen faction, there is a splendid house in the backyard, and the plaque reads "Baiyun Nunnery" three big black characters, it is a person standing in the courtyard, you will feel extremely deep, plus, the scenery is beautiful, the environment is quiet. The Longmen faction is on the top of Tianzhu Mountain, so the backyard is connected with the cliff, so to speak, the back of the backyard is the Wanzhang cliff. The walls of the backyard are also built with surprisingly grandeur and magnificence, tall red paint. There is a tin gate in the backyard, and on the other side of the gate is a path leading to the cliff.
In the middle of the night, the meteorite star is in a trance under the illumination of the moonlight, and the meteorite itself is shining brightly, setting off the picture scroll above, like a dream.
Hu Xiao is tall and burly, fifty years old, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and powerful force. He wears a cyan robe and stands in front of a meteorite star. The door was locked, and the lips were wide at the top and thin at the bottom, and he said, "Something strange will happen to everything that falls from heaven." Seeing the pattern on this meteorite, it is similar to the "Yalitu". Qu Tu'er, I will write a letter now, you will bring it to Taishan Academy, please ask the dean of Taishan College to come and appreciate it, whether this item needs to be handed over to the state, and how to deal with it? This is not a trivial matter. ”
Qu Tiantian, bowed down and said, "Yes, master." The apprentice immediately took the letter and went to Mount Tai. ”
Hu Xiaodong said: "Anwei is far away from Shandong Province, and the senior brother is alone, so I am worried about my safety, please send me to accompany the senior brother to Mount Tai together." ”
Hu Xiao thought for a long time, and said, "It's okay, take care of each other on the road." There are all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes, so we must be careful to avoid extraneous branches. Don't meddle in the management of things that you are not used to, and argue about the sounds that you can't hear. You are in Tianzhu Mountain, practicing and studying every day. The content books of learning are all regular and gentleman's books. For example, "Disciple Rules" and "Biography". ”
Qu Tiantian said: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely invite the dean of Taishan Academy to come over." Come to think of it, it's been three years since we last went to Taishan Academy. This time, we will definitely take the entrustment of the family teacher to visit Dean Zhang Mu of Taishan College! ”
Qu Yitian led more than ten people, with letters, riding horses, galloping towards Mount Tai.
The news of Tianyushi spread far and wide. The day after Qu Yitian left, the black and white roads in the rivers and lakes had already heard the news of Tianyushi. So the gangs from all walks of life hurried to the Longmen faction. For a time, the Longmen faction was densely populated, with different costumes, different accents, and different characters, gathering in the backyard of the Longmen faction in Tianzhu Mountain.
The morning was sunny and the weather was cool. The man who wore a padded jacket in the morning now takes it off, revealing muscular arms that are as strong as an ox.
Guo Pengfei, the head of the Ice and Fire Gate, said: "The Heavenly Rain Stone is a magical weapon"
Lian Yedong, the head of the Lotus Gate, asked: "Master Guo, why do you say that?" ”
Guo Pengfei said: "You see, when we came in the morning, we saw that its light and color were still warm and moist like jade, and at this moment, with different temperatures and different sunlight, it began to change. Magical, you say, isn't it magical? ”
Lian Ye Dong said: "Magic is magic, but after all, it is a meteorite star, how can it be a weapon?" ”
Guo Pengfei said: "The old man is also guessing. ”
Lian Ye Dong said: "Do you have any basis for it?" ”
Guo Pengfei said: "Look, does the size of the meteorite star change slightly? ”
Lian Ye Dongdao: "Yes! Compared to the morning, it is smaller. ”
Wei Dechun, the head of Tiandimen, said: "There is a weapon in the world, which can become bigger and smaller, unpredictable. ”
He Qionghai, the head of the Crystal City gang, frowned and asked, "Is what Master Wei said about the weapons recorded in the "Weapon House"? ”
Wei Dechun said: "Yes! "House of Weapons" is a book written by Mr. Yang Cheng during the Warring States Period. Thousands of weapons are recorded in the books, and there are words and pictures in them. Whether it is down to the equipment of ordinary people to cultivate crops, or the weapons of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, there are records. Mr. Yang Cheng also recorded some weapons that may appear in the future, as well as fantasy peerless weapons. Mr. Yang Cheng was bold and innovative, and he also drew the appearance of a magical weapon. ”
He Qionghai said: "Mr. Yang Cheng mentioned a weapon, which is a sleek stone. The stone is ellipsoidal. Could it be that this meteorite star is it? ”
Wei Dechun said: "I don't know." The fortune teller said that the name of this meteorite star is Tianyu Stone. It fell from the sky, and someone saw that when this star fell on the night of the Dragon Sect, there was a woman dressed in red on it. The woman was sixteen or seventeen years old. The woman's body is close to the Tianyu stone. Now during the day, I haven't seen the woman, I don't know if it's true or not? ”
Young Master Zhou Zhi of Hanqin Mansion said: "Master Wei, I use my personality to vouch for it, there is really a woman in red who appeared on the Tianyu Stone. Because it's seen below! The night two days ago, I was playing chess with the head of Hu Xiao. The servants of his subordinates entered the hall in a panic and reported, saying that they had seen a meteorite star and a woman in red. We quickly went out to check, but as soon as we arrived next to the meteorite star, we suddenly saw a glimpse of a rainbow shadow in the air, and a figure disappeared in the moonlight. Only glowing meteorites remain. Because it was in the moonlight, I don't know if it was the rain stone that was shining, or because of the light of the full moon that flowed down. ”
Wei Dechun glanced at Zhou Zhi and saw that his expression was heavy, so he could judge that what he said was false. Wei Dechun said: "Our Tiandimen is in Jiangxi Province, and I led all the apprentices to come to Huangshan in Anwei Province to play. The ancients said, climbing the Yellow Mountain, there is no mountain in the world. Now when I come to Tianzhu Mountain, I feel that Tianzhu Mountain is also a famous mountain and river, a spectacular sea of clouds, and a majestic sunrise, just like being in the heavenly court. When I saw the rain stone today, it was really in vain. ”
Zhou Zhi was surprised: "Master Wei, didn't you come to see Tianyushi and Song Saiyu on purpose?" ”
Wei Dechun shook his head and said, "Didn't I come to see Tianyu Stone on purpose, who is Song Saiyu?" ”
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Master Wei, you are the only person here who doesn't know the reason for the matter!" ”
Wei Dechun was full of surprise and asked, "Why don't you tell Young Master Zhou about it?" ”
Ding Zixuan, the master of the Thunder Soul Gate, said: "Let's talk about the recent events in the rivers and lakes. ”
Wei Dechun hugged his fists and said: "There is the master of the Laudin Gate!" Listen up in the next wash! ”
Ding Zixuan said: "Two months ago, that is, in the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Mr. and Mrs. Lu Duosun were assigned to Yazhou, but they were plotted and died in the middle of the road. Her daughter Lu Saiyu was kidnapped by the people in the rivers and lakes, some people said that she was taken away by the mad demon sect leader Li Jin and Zhao Yijian, and some people said that she was taken away by Chang Tiancheng, who was ordered to have a steel whip, and later it was rumored that Lu Saiyu went to the hands of Feng Zifeng, a flower butterfly in disguise, and Feng Zifeng and Feng Zibo imprisoned her in the Zhongming Building. People in the rivers and lakes, after hearing the news, gathered in the famous building, did not see Lu Saiyu, but met the old man of the dragon who was rumored to have not shown up in the rivers and lakes, and heard that Song Shuhan, the owner of the Jiguan Cave, led a group of female apprentices to the Zhongming Building. ”
"Thunder Soul Sect Master, do you really know a lot?" Wei Dechun, the head of heaven and earth, said: "I admire it very much, I have been in retreat and cultivation for the past three months, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the rivers and lakes, and a lot of things have happened in the imperial court. ”
Sun Wenhua, the city lord of Fengqiwu, said: "The Lord of the Ding Sect said two months ago, and I will add what happened in the last month. You should have heard of the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, and they are active all over the country all year round. Among them was a soothsayer named Wei Yueyan. She predicted that the legendary Song Saiyu would appear. According to the record of "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", when two stars are combined into one, a strange person will appear, whose name is Song Saiyu. The meteorite star fell from the sky because of Song Saiyu. According to the record of "Ziwei Doushu", Song Saiyu has his own person in Chinese history. She has a strange face and amazing bones, and she is a heroine. Later, he died on the battlefield. According to the "Atlas of the Stars", on the night of her death, there was a star that was particularly bright. According to the "Plain Book", during the day after her death, it began to snow. The shade of the trees, which had been lush, was suddenly covered with frost. Summer turned into winter. The earth is covered with snow. For three years in a row, there are no other seasons but winter. These phenomena are contrary to the laws of nature. Song Saiyu's weapon is a smooth stone. When she died, the stone was sucked away by the magical power of the sky and vanished. ”
"What does City Lord Sun mean is that the meteorite star is Song Saiyu's weapon, and it came with Song Saiyu?"
"What Young Master Zhou Zhi of Hanqin Mansion said is true!" Wei Dechun said: "Should the woman in red be Song Saiyu?" If what City Lord Sun said was also true, the woman in red was very likely to be her! But there was Song Saiyu in history, and now there is also a Song Saiyu, they can't be a person, no matter who they are, they won't live that long, unless she is not a human, a demon, a demon, a ghost, or an immortal. ”
Of course, this Song Saiyu is not the historical Song Saiyu, because she is the woman in red who appeared in the woods. Only Twenty-Eight Su and Song Shuhan know who this Song Saiyu is?
Hu Xiao walked over from the front yard, only to see him staggering, walking like flying, followed by two apprentices. The two apprentices were thin, slightly lower than Hu Xiao, and the three of them walked with an incomparably full aura.
Hu Xiao said: "Heroes from all walks of life, Hu Xiao, the head of the Xialong Sect. It is a great honor to let all the heroes come to our house, which makes the small house shine. Thank you very much! As you can see, in the backyard of the Longmen Sect, there was a meteorite falling the night before. What an unexpected surprise! ”
Dong Jia'an, the master of the Yunxiao Pavilion, smiled and said: "The thing that fell from the sky was already unexpected, and it landed on Tianzhu Mountain, which is even more unexpected!" Writers describe it as "mountain peak jungle" and "stone palace", Tianzhu Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in Anhui Province (Yellow Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain) because of its unique natural landscape. Unexpectedly, even the Tianyu Stone chose to land here? Master Hu, you see, is this providential? ”
Hu Xiao said: "Hahaha! Pavilion Master Dong, you really know how to laugh! Tianyu Stone came to the Dragon Sect, and it wasn't me who ordered it to come, right? I don't have that much ability under it, so I let the artifact land on Tianzhu Mountain. ”
Sun Wenhua said: "The two of you don't fight. In fact, the meteorite star body did not come to Tianzhu Mountain, nor did it come to the Longmen faction, but because Song Saiyu brought the meteorite star. And our heroes here are not coming for the Longmen faction. I don't dare to say what others think, but according to the subjective consciousness, we are because of Song Saiyu. ”
Hu Xiao was in Anhui Province, far away from the world, when he heard Song Saiyu, his face was full of doubts, his face was full of shock, he was busy and modest, and asked: "I don't know who Song Saiyu is?" ”
"Hu Zhangmen Mo Yan belittles himself, he is vain, you don't know Song Saiyu's character, it's very common, don't blame yourself and feel guilty." Ding Zixuan said: "Whether the character of Song Saiyu exists or not, we can't make judgments yet. There is a person in the rivers and lakes who is dangerous Yueyan, according to the book of heaven, it is predicted that there will be a woman named Song Saiyu, and she will become a legend in the rivers and lakes. ”
Hu Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I see, then Song Saiyu will also come to my Dragon Sect?" ”
Sun Wenhua said: "She has come." ”
Hu Xiao looked around, found no abnormal people, and asked slowly: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I still hope that the Song Saiyu woman who is present will come out to meet!" ”
Sun Wenhua explained: "She came and went, and the woman in red was!" ”
Hu Xiao said: "I'm really sorry I didn't see this woman." ”
Sun Wenhua said: "But you saw her weapon. ”
Hu Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Oh? Where are her weapons? I haven't seen it in the next place! ”
Sun Wenhua firmly pointed to the Tianyu Stone, and said in a sincere tone: "The meteorite star in front of her is her weapon!" This huge sleek meteorite is called the Celestial Rain Stone. The portrait on the Tianyu Stone is also a weapon. ”
Hu Xiao frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about weapons, please tell City Lord Sun, how can this meteorite be a weapon?" I saw that it was tall and huge, how could it be a weapon? ”
