Chapter 17 Map of the World: The Elephant of the Earth

The person who comes is the master of the Void Observation and the Master of the Void Vision.

A supreme master who is said to have reached the late stage of the Yuan Infant.

It is also one of the rare masters on the bright side of the country of Qixia.

Zhang Shengde was angry and puzzled: "Dao Elder has been waiting for us for a long time?"

"yes, it's been 32 days since the curse began. Mingxu Daochang's smile gradually turned into a sigh, "Let's go, I know you have a lot of questions, I hope the two donors will give me a chance to explain."

Please. ”

Zhang Shengde's face was very complicated, but he still climbed the stairs.

The three of them walked slowly, Zhang Hao was thoughtful, the situation seemed to be different from what he expected.

What the hell is going on?

After a while, a figure came running down the mountain, but it was Ji different.

Ji Wei caught up with the three of them, nodded to Zhang Shengde and Zhang Hao, and followed silently.

From time to time along the way, there were Taoist priests, and when the four of them passed, they continued to clean the spotless stone steps.

No matter how long the road is, there is an end, listening to the elegant birdsong and insect singing, walking through the misty clouds, a two-story Taoist temple with bluestone as the base, green bamboo as the pillar, and purple bamboo as the tile, appears in front of everyone.

A few gourd vines are dancing on the roof, fat leaves, among the tender yellow flowers, a few bees are busy, and three or five emerald green gourds are gently swaying under the eaves.

There is a bluestone plaque hanging under the eaves, and there are three vermilion lacquer characters on it: Zi Xuguan.

"Please. "Mingxu Daoist sent out an invitation again.

The bamboo door slowly opened, and the spacious hall was full of low tables, and in the north of the hall, a big word "Jing" was hung.

There are character couplets on the left and right sides, the right book is 'good as water', and the left book is 'virtuous and virtuous'.

Directly below is a coffee table, on which seems to be a scroll, and there is a boy next to it to smoke incense and serve tea.

Mingxu Daoist came to the coffee table due north, knelt down, and then bowed, "Three of you, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Shengde and Ji Wei glanced at each other and knelt down behind the short table in front of the head of Mingxu Dao, and Zhang Hao followed behind his father.

The boy came over and brought tea. Zhang Hao habitually said thank you.

The boy immediately sent a bright smile.

Waiting for the boy to retreat, Mingxu Daoist spoke: "I know that the three of you have a lot of questions, and it is also a wrong thing that Poor Dao did, but now I regret it when I think about it."

It's a long story.

About fifty years ago, in Ninghe County and Qinghe Town, there was a 'Xiao family', I wonder if the three of them have ever heard of it?"

Fifty years ago, of course, it had nothing to do with Zhang Hao.

But Zhang Shengde opened his mouth and said: "Fifty years ago, I was still in the middle of foundation building, and I remember that the Xiao family was wiped out overnight, and I heard that it was because of some treasure." ”

Mingxu Dao sighed leisurely: "I am the only survivor of the Xiao family;

When I got home in the morning, I saw ......

I lay on my mother's corpse and cried, glad that I was found by the traveling master and brought back to the Xuanzhen Sect to raise. In the blink of an eye, it has been fifty years.

In the past 50 years, I have not forgotten the hatred of destroying the door for a moment, and finally found the trace a few years ago, and gradually found the Guan family!

I went to the door to inquire, but the Guan family was ready to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and I was caught off guard and fell for the plot. If it weren't for the deep foundation, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.

Therefore, for this unrepentant family, I can only do the right thing for heaven and retrieve the items that belong to the Xiao family. ”

Ji Wei asked, "I don't know what the Xiao family's items are......"

This is what everyone calls the Overseas Nine Immortal Mountain Map. To be more specific, the overseas Nine Immortal Mountains are just a part of the elephant that brackets the earth. ”

Zhang Hao suddenly became interested, and it sounded like ...... World map, huh?

Needless to say than Zhang Hao said, Mingxu Daoist waved his hand lightly, and the scroll on the low table slowly flew up and unfolded, and a picture scroll about three feet wide and seven feet long was displayed in front of Zhang Hao.

The scroll is yellowed overall, with two colors of black and cinnabar, outlining the dense terrain, especially the handwriting, many of which are superimposed on top of each other, making it impossible to read at all. Only on the far right side of the scroll are the three ancient seals: the enclosing elephant.

But in the next moment, as the Ming Void Dao Chang injected true yuan into the scroll, the scroll slowly appeared as a three-dimensional phantom, the river began to rush, the sea began to roar, and the mountains and rivers became vivid.

A three-dimensional picture scroll appeared, and the handwriting was completely separated.

Zhang Hao was dumbfounded.

On the map, there are mainly seven continents;

In the center is called "Kunlun Continent",

Due east is called "the continent of the morning earth",

The southeast is called "the continent of the soil",

The southwest is called "the continent of the earth",

The west is northern, called "the continent of fertile soil",

Due north is called "the continent of soil",

The northeast is northerly, and it is called "the continent of hidden land".

The seven continents vary in size and distance, and are separated from each other by the sea.

In the periphery of the seven continents, there are nine islands, or nine immortal mountains, which seem to be far away, namely: Qianchen Mountain, Fanghu Mountain, Lianshi Mountain, Gushu Mountain, Zhongshan Mountain, Tianhao Mountain, Xudu Mountain, Xuanwu Mountain, and Huaguo Mountain.

After the shock, Zhang Hao began to examine: how much real can this map have, how much conjecture, how much distortion?

About the time of tea, Mingxu Dao Chang spoke again: "This is the image of the earth, which is widely called the 'bracket', and the sky is all the 'earth', and the geography is called the 'image'."

It is said: the elephant of the earth. ”

Zhang Hao asked cautiously: "Dao Chief, the ...... on this earthly elephant Is it all true?"

"At least the names of the seven continents, some mountains, rivers and seas are correct. ”

That is to say, except for the names of these, the rest are uncertain~~~

And the name is correct, it doesn't mean the location is correct!

Zhang Hao has a general understanding of this elephant.

I didn't want to be clear, but I asked rhetorically: "Zhang Xiaoyou, how much do you think such a map that is similar to a graffiti work is worth?"

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, but then said categorically: "Priceless!"

"Priceless?" this time it was Mingxu Dao's turn to be stunned, "Why?"

Because, compared with those ethereal legends and hearsay travelogues, this "Elephant of the Bracket" at least provides us with some geographical information with reference value.

It is a key that helps us understand the world.

For this alone, the value of "The Elephant of the Bracket" is immeasurable. ”

"Okay!" Mingxu Daoist couldn't help but admire, "Then, this picture of the bracket will be given to Xiaoyou." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Hao was dumbfounded, in fact, it is enough for me to copy a copy of this map, really, if I take the original, will the Zhang family also be destroyed~~~

Mingxu Daoist slowly rolled up the scroll, "Don't worry, before handing it over to you, I will solve the trouble, just take it as a little apology."

Hey, how many lives have been wasted for the sake of this rudimentary map. ”

Zhang Shengde finally couldn't help but speak: "But what does this 'bracket elephant' have to do with the curse?"

"When I closed the door of the house, I was completely seen by a pair of eyes. This person is Qian Shaoxian!

I was so badly injured that I had to make a deal that I regretted.

I promised Qian Shaoxian a condition, and gave my 'teleportation charm' to Qian Shaoxian. Qian Shaoxian swore that he would never leak secrets, otherwise he would die with a sword. ”

Death by a sword?

Zhang Hao's hair suddenly stood on endβ€”can his oath really come true?

Also, was Qian Shaoxian's death caused by me, or was it caused by Qian Shaoxian's violation of his oath?

What a tangled question!

More of a creepy question!
