Chapter 187: Artifact (Three Watches)

"You should have seen these two dragon scales. Zhuge Wanling stared at the jade box with his eyes and said, "They are originally of the same origin, but they are diametrically opposed. The reason why the Shenlong Reverse Scale will fade is because His Excellency Shenlong has grown a bloodthirsty Reverse Scale, so the Divine Dragon Reverse Scale will instinctively fear the bloodthirsty Reverse Scale, but the two suppress each other, and in front of the Divine Dragon Reverse Scale, the bloodthirsty Reverse Scale will also be somewhat restrained. "Tian Yuan" records that the ancient holy kings unified the world, burned soldiers to cast agricultural tools, and scattered property to support the people. Confucianism first proposed: to give virtue, the four seas to obey, is talking about the ancient sage kings. At that time, the world was flooded frequently, the demon beasts in the river and the sea made waves, the holy king led the people to build water conservancy, led the water of the river into the fields, tamed the ferocious wolf as a dog pet, killed the demon beast to calm the hearts of the people, his virtue attracted Luan Feng, and the reverse scale of the dragon was given to the holy king, and a long millennium dynasty was also launched......"

"That's not right. Qin Ke was a little skeptical, and interrupted Zhuge Wanling's narration, "Why is it related to the Ancient Saint King again?

"This ......" Zhuge Wanling closed the jade box, the light of neutrality and peace gradually converged, and finally returned to nothingness, he smiled: "After the ancient saint king got the dragon reverse scale, in order to control the flood, in fact, with the help of the power of the reverse scale, it was infused into an artifact called 'Broken Army', he used the broken army to break a towering mountain at that time, and the mountain fell down, becoming a natural embankment, leading the water back to the sea of the dome. ”

Qin Ke hadn't heard of this legend, and looked at the jade box containing the reverse scales in surprise: "Yes, can you interrupt the mountain?

"I don't know. The things in the book may not be without exaggeration, and Qingluan gave the Holy King with a title against the scales...... It's too mysterious. But what the truth is, I'm afraid only God knows. According to the records, even though the reverse scale is powerful, it can't do such a thing with the reverse scale or the broken army, only the combination of the two can produce earth-shattering power, but since then, the reverse scale has been shattered into powder, and the broken army has also broken into two. Zhuge Wanling said: "However, the Holy King will spread the word to future generations, and these two things will one day be seen again at a suitable time......

"And the years that Wolong stayed in Daoxiang Village, the years that raised you, were actually counting the opening of King Ye's mausoleum. ”

"Mausoleum...... Will it open on its own?" The current Qin Ke seemed to be deeply attracted by what Zhuge Wanling said, rather than focusing only on his master.

"King Ye's Mausoleum has gone through a hundred years of wind and frost, even if the big array in the mausoleum has been constantly absorbing the power of the divine dragon for more than a hundred years, but with a powerful existence like the divine dragon, if it is not to suppress the bloodthirsty scales, how can it be bound by a small large array?"

"Wolong, he is calculating, when the Shenlong will be the weakest, it is also at this time, the big array in the tomb of King Ye will also turn weak, we enter the tomb of King Ye, if it is not for the time point calculated by Wolong, the strength of the wind in the stone henge, even Changgong can not resist...... And if it's too late, the dragon may have broken through the great array and returned to the world in another way. ”

Thinking of the old and tired Shenlong who looked like a kind elder, he couldn't bear it a little: "Since he can return to the world, why should we take advantage of his danger? There is a piece of Divine Dragon Scales in King Ye's coffin, it doesn't matter if there is this bloodthirsty Scales or not, right?"

Zhuge Wanling seemed to be a little tired, closed his eyes to recuperate, and replied softly: "If Your Excellency Shenlong can exorcise the demons in your heart, it is good to leave the big array. But if he loses to the bloodthirsty scales and breaks through the stone henge and comes out in another way, who in this world do you think can stop him......?

"There is a destiny in the underworld, the ancient saint king may just say it casually, or he may have foreseen that there will be such a day, the dragon reverse scale exhausted its strength back then and disintegrated, and now we have obtained two reverse scales by chance. Merely...... Wolong calculated the time, but it seemed that he couldn't wait to leave first because of something. But since this is his long-cherished wish for many years, I should always do it for him, so I will see you when I have the Mo family. ”

Qin Ke felt more and more that the master was shrouded in a layer of black veil that could not be seen clearly, this so-called "madman" was really the easy-going and humorous master? Perhaps the only thing in common was that he and the master had a lot of strange and incomprehensible ideas.

Qin Ke stopped talking.

Zhuge Wanling felt that it had been a long time since he had spoken freely like tonight, and seeing Qin Ke's thoughtful appearance, he said in a gentle tone: "However, in fact, the purpose of our people looking for His Excellency Shenlong is really not noble, so there is no need to advertise ourselves." Bloodthirsty and rebellious, we have to win, but His Excellency Shenlong did not kill us for this, but repaid us with virtue and gave us the last miracle he had in this world as a gift, and his virtue is holy enough. ”

Qin Ke nodded, but he didn't know why he nodded, thinking of the light that Shenlong had placed on his chest earlier, he subconsciously touched the place where the heart was beating restlessly.

Wolong said...... Find all the artifacts and you can find the world of his dreams. He has disappeared into the world for so many years, and I have to wonder if he has found that world, or if he has not found that world and is still walking somewhere in the world. Zhuge Wanling said solemnly: "In addition to the reverse scales, in the Jingwu Taimiao, there is also a half-section of the 'broken army'. The remaining artifacts are vague and inconsistent in the classics, and they may only be clear if they are verified in person. ”

Qin Ke was silent for a long time, perhaps because there were too many things that surprised him in one night, so that now that Zhuge Wanling finished speaking, he didn't have too many mood swings.

He just stared blankly at the jade box on the table, and thought of the master who was nowhere to be seen now, maybe he should give it a try? Try to follow the master's every footstep that has traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains?

Thinking of this, he raised his head, looked at Zhuge Wanling deeply, and said, "If I want to find these artifacts, where should I start?"

In the dead of night, there are autumn cicadas chirping softly on the books outside the palace, but this is no longer the time for the summer cicadas to chirp, only a few autumn cicadas chirp to each other, but it seems very lonely.

Zhuge Wanling sat quietly on the chair, the hall was empty, Zhu Ran had already sent Qin Ke to the palace gate, and the old eunuch also pushed the door in at this time, holding warm tea, he said softly: "Prime Minister, it's cold at night, drink some warm tea to warm up." ”

"Put it down. Zhuge Wanling's eyes were not focused, and he seemed to be looking into the distance, "This should have been a tea for that child, but he was full of sorrow, and he couldn't drink this tea even if he wanted to." ”

"It's an old slave, no. The old eunuch's voice was extremely loving, "The old slave should have come in earlier, but he was worried about disturbing the prime minister." ”

Zhuge Wanling condensed his eyes at this time, looked at the old eunuch, and said with a slight smile: "Now that we are not in front of people, you and I are not masters and servants, so there is no need to be called like this." ”

The old eunuch shook his head: "The prime minister is the prime minister." And slave ...... It's just an old man in the palace who doesn't die, and the slave has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so it's better not to change it. ”

Zhuge Wanling nodded slightly, and did not cling to this, but looked at the old eunuch with some distraction, and asked softly: "Uncle Wang, what do you say...... Am I a good person?"

The old eunuch stood quietly, but in the dark, he no longer seemed to be rickety, and his thin body also looked tall: "The prime minister saved the people of Wu from fire and water, established the national capital, and raised farmers, of course he is a good person." ”

"But I lied to the kid anyway. Zhuge Wanling said slightly melancholy: "Maybe Liu De is right, I am a ruthless person, and for me, nothing matters......"

The old eunuch's expression remained unchanged, and he said respectfully: "The prime minister is also for Qin Ke's good." ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Zhuge Wanling pinched his eyebrows, "What you say is for his good, I'm afraid it's just my wishful thinking." Letting him participate in this matter is to push him into the fire pit, and in the future, I am afraid that he will inevitably put himself in danger. Even if he is inconspicuous to those people now, it is difficult to ...... When he goes deeper and won't be noticed, how can he get out of it at that time? Should I use someone else to ......?"

"But the prime minister knows that even if you use someone else, it won't make any difference. This is the reason why the slave was willing to follow the prime minister back then...... does not avoid relatives and alienation, and treats everyone equally, compared with those big families...... This kind of Jing Wu is what the slave wants to see. ”

This old man, who used to be the stars in the family, was finally tortured by the palace, miserable in the deep palace, and became a eunuch, although his tone at the moment was understated, but it was loud.

Outside the main hall, the wind shook the treetops, and the autumn cicadas seemed to be frightened, stopped chirping, and hibernated.
