Mr. Xu?"

Xiao Jinyan looked this woman up and down, he had seen this person's disguise technique, he could almost fake the real, even the body shape could be changed at will, and after being fooled a few times, he didn't dare to trust her easily.

The woman said, "Why, do you think that Mr. Xu, he must be a man, and an old man in his seventies and eighties?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. The woman said proudly, "I have been Mr. Xu, for many years. ”

At this time, a voice came, "Ethereal, don't make trouble." ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man dressed in white walked in. When the woman saw the old man, her mouth pursed, "Why are you here?"

The old man said, "If I don't come again, I'm afraid this Xiao Daxia will already be confused by you." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "I'm confused now. ”

The old man said, "The old man is Mr. Xu, the owner of this Jianghu restaurant, and the former palace master of the East China Sea Baihua Palace. This is my granddaughter, ethereal. He said to the woman, "Don't make a fuss, why don't you change your face back?"

The woman said, "It's not fun at all." ”

After that, one turned around, took off a mask, and looked at the woman again, her face was sallow, her eyes were round, her nose was crooked, and her eyes were slanted, like a yaksha descending.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan staring at her, she said, "Why, I've never seen such a beautiful woman?"

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "This variety is indeed rare. ”

"That's what you like about me. I'll arrange for the two of us to get married tonight!"

Mr. Xuan said with a calm face, "Don't mess around!"

Hearing this, he pouted and said, "I'll scare and scare him." Turning around again, the previous Yaksha face disappeared, and she became a clever girl again.

Mr. Xu said, "My granddaughter, studies some crooked ways all day long, Xiao Shaoxia should not be blamed." ”

Vaguely dissatisfied, "I'm just a crooked and evil way, and what you're studying is Yangguan Dao?" Old man, you're too biased." How can you say that about your granddaughter?"

Xiao Jinyan let out a long laugh, "Let the granddaughter be frank and honest about sex, and she is a person of temperament." Where to blame. ”

"Count it as a human to speak. For the sake of this sentence, the money you owe me will be written off. ”

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart When did I owe you money, it was you who cheated me. However, he knew that if you answered her for this kind of little brat, she would have a million reasons to leave you speechless.

Xiao Jinyan gave the old man a salute again, "Under Xiao Jinyan, I have seen my predecessors!"

Mr. Xu said, "If it is true, when you were a baby, I also fed you wine. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, you have grown so big. ”

"Grandpa, you are eccentric, you feed him to drink, but you don't let me drink, I seriously doubt that you are my biological grandfather!"

Xiao Jinyan smiled secretly in her heart, and didn't care that the words in her mouth were sick. It seems that this Mr. Xuan can't do anything about his granddaughter, and two sentences make him speechless.

Mr. Xu then said, "Okay, grandpa is wrong, you arranged your Tianyan gossip map yesterday, you will be exempted, you go to be stubborn!"

With a joy in his heart, he kissed the old man on the face, "You are still good to me!" and left happily.

Xiao Jinyan said, "My senior brother once said that if something happens to him in the capital, let me not act rashly, and come to visit my seniors first, I don't know what my seniors taught me?"

Mr. Void led him out of the cave.

Outside the cave, there is a small pond with birds singing and flowers, and there is a thatched hut next to it, and the edge of the pond is purple and red, and the flowers are in full bloom.

Lotus, peach blossom, peony, pear blossom, so many flowers that are not in season, but bloom in this early autumn season, to be able to do this, it is very human.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyan was full of surprise, Mr. Xu was quite proud, and said proudly, "Twenty years ago, I discovered that there was a hot spring underground, and the temperature was different from the outside world, so I set up a formation to isolate this place, and used the secret technique of the Hundred Flowers Palace to cultivate flowers and plants, so that there was this scene." Humanity is the best in the world of the Qimen Dunjia of the Hundred Flowers Palace, in fact, the real essence of the Hundred Flowers Palace is the word 'Hundred Flowers'. ”

Xiao Jinyan saw a willow tree next to it, and there was a buffalo gnawing grass next to the willow tree, and he was shocked.

To be able to have such a clean place in the middle of the city, this Mr. Xuan does have some ability. However, Xiao Jinyan didn't come to enjoy the flowers, he went straight to the point, "The seniors didn't answer my questions. ”

Mr. Xu was not in a hurry, boiled hot water, boiled a pot of white tea, and handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Taste the Baihua tea I brewed myself." ”

The entrance is tasteless, even if there is a potpourri twister, the tongue is full of teeth, Xiao Jinyan said, "Good tea!"

Mr. Xu said with a smile, "This is a hundred kinds of flowers I have collected, and after drying, the top Longjing is distilled with thirteen kinds of spices, and a hundred catties can only produce half a penny, you are blessed." ”

Not to mention the cost of this hundred flowers camellia, just the effort used, and only people like Mr. Xu, who have a lot of time to do it.

It can be concluded that this Mr. Void is extremely delicate in his requirements for life.

However, this idea did not last long, Mr. Xu said that he was a little hungry, and the next person took a pancake and rolled a green onion and sent it up, Mr. Xu drank Baihua tea while eating with relish.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan's stunned appearance, Mr. Xu smiled, "What, don't you understand?"

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to echo and say, "Elegance is vulgarity, vulgarity is elegance, and the realm of Mr. is not something ordinary people can comprehend." ”

Mr. Xuan laughed, "What bullshit."

, I make potpourri tea because I have a pain in my spare time, and I eat pancake rolls and green onions because I like it. I think back then, the old man was in the East China Sea Baihua Palace, a disciple in the palace, and he had a pancake. ”

Xiao Jin Yanxin said that the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace must be very thin.

After a full meal, Mr. Xu said slowly, "What do you have to ask?"

"Why did the emperor arrest my senior brother?"

Mr. Xu said, "Because of your senior brother's stubbornness! I asked him to travel the world with me, but he chose to stay in the capital, and he deserved to come to this point." ”

"I don't understand. ”

Mr. Xu said, "Your senior brother was one of the Eight Tigers of Jingnan back then, after His Majesty took power, the Eight Tigers who fought with him back then, killed and killed, and flowed, leaving him and Yuwen Tianlu to help him be the minions who guarded the world." It's just that your senior brother and Yuwen Tianlu are smarter than others in that when they saw that something was wrong, they had already established their own team in the court, so His Majesty didn't touch them all these years. First, one of them built a laughing hall and a flounder, and the other built a Dengwen Temple, so His Majesty will have some scruples when he does it. Second, he went to Shujian Mountain and made a deal with the gods in the mountain, but after he ascended the throne, he broke his promise, so over the years, the people on Shujian Mountain wanted to kill him quickly. ”

Xiao Jinyan was puzzled, "With the strength of Shujian Mountain, wouldn't it be easy to kill the emperor?"

Mr. Xu smiled, "Do you know that there is a shocking array in the capital?"

"I've heard a little. ”

"For some reason, Shujianshan is very jealous of the Shocking God Array, as long as he hides in the capital and doesn't come out, Shujianshan will have nothing to do with him. So, over the years, His Majesty has never left the palace. The only time was last year, when he went to Nanling to worship his ancestors. ”

Xiao Jinyan heard about this incident, it was that time to worship the ancestors, Yuwen Tianlu and the emperor's Nanling played against each other, so that the Western Chu Kingdom fell into civil strife, the Northern Zhou Dynasty died a god of war, and the original three-legged momentum has become the dominant family today.

Mr. Xu said again, "And the time when Nanling worshiped the ancestors was a test of His Majesty's Shujian Mountain, and it was also a test of Yuwen Tianlu. Unfortunately, Yuwen Tianlu lost His Majesty's trust. He continued, "On that day in Nanling, a sword keeper died in Shujian Mountain. ”

Xiao Jinyan was stunned, "What?"

He had seen the strength of the sword keepers, and it was almost the realm of the Great Grandmaster outside the Three Realms. However, for such a big matter, whether it is in the capital or in the rivers and lakes, there is no news coming out.

"Therefore, Your Majesty let Yuwen Tianlu go to Western Xinjiang, and then ordered Li Chuntie to unite with Western Chu and Northern Zhou to intercept and kill him in Zhaoyao Mountain, and what happened after that, you must also know. ”

"Although Your Majesty is in the capital, he also has a national teacher under him, Yuxi Dao Chief, who guards the Shocking God Array, that person is mixed with Yuwen Tianlu all day long, to put it bluntly, His Majesty has placed eyeliner next to him, how can he escape Yuxi's eyes with those actions in secret?"

Xiao Jinyan had a clear idea.

On Zhaoyao Mountain, Li Chuntie and the Living Buddha Kaba of the Western Regions and Helian Liangbi dealt with Yuwen Tianlu, but when he made a move, he seemed to cooperate with Yuwen Tianlu very tacitly, and killed the two people by surprise, and only after missing two great masters did Zhao Lanjiang run rampant in Western Xinjiang.

It's just that Li Chuntie violated His Majesty's will and let Yuwen Tianlu go in private, and now that the matter has been revealed, Li Chuntie naturally can't escape the blame.

If the strength around His Majesty can even kill the sword guards, then Li Chuntie will naturally be trapped by this force if he does not leave the capital.

Thinking of this, he only felt that this trip was difficult.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "When Your Majesty went to Shujian Mountain, what deal did he make with Shanzhong? What did he promise? Why did he regret it?"

Mr. Xu said, "There is only one thing in the world that can make Shujian Mountain jealous, and what he promised is naturally to return the pivot of the Shocking God Array to its original owner after seizing the throne." ”

Returning to its original owner?

These four words are full of information.

The implication is that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to build this amazing array was also from Shujian Mountain.

"When the seventy-two princes were in chaos, Emperor Taizu's power was not the strongest, and his martial arts were not the highest, and the reason why he was able to stand out in the chaos of the world was precisely because when Shujian Mountain just came, there was an object that flowed into the rivers and lakes, and after tossing and turning, it fell into the hands of Emperor Taizu. Later, Emperor Taizu took advantage of this object to sweep the world and establish the Ming Dynasty. And he made friends with the Li clan of Yinyang back then, and rebuilt the capital with the help of the Li family, thus establishing the Shocking God Array, and the Supreme Heavenly Dao had to be forced to enter a dormant state. This secret became a secret of the royal family, and later King Yong somehow learned about it, went to Shujian Mountain, and seized the imperial power with their help, however, His Majesty is too ambitious, since there is such a treasure, and even has the opportunity to win the path of immortality, how can he hand it over easily??"

I see.

Xiao Jinyan seems to understand the truth, when the emperor has supreme power, then the next goal is immortality. In this way, the country can be continued from generation to generation. If at the beginning, Zhu Liye and Shujianshan were conspirators, but Zhu Liye sat on the throne and his ass decided his thoughts, he would naturally not hand over the Shocking God Array.

What's more, without the protection of the Shocking Array, the people of Shujian Mountain killing him is as simple as crushing an ant, rather than being the emperor in fear, it is better to go back on his word, anyway, Shujian Mountain has no way to take him.

"What kind of existence is Shujian Mountain?"

Mr. Xu didn't answer, he stood up, came to the bookcase, picked up something casually, and handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "What do you think this is?"

Xiao Jinyan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

A cube, six faces, six colors, each face has nine squares, and these squares can rotate each other except for the one in the middle of the six sides.

Mr. Xu said, "This is a thing that has been handed down from the Qimen Dunjia of our Hundred Flowers Palace, called the Rubik's Cube. It is said in the book that if you study this Rubik's Cube thoroughly, you will be able to understand the secrets of this world. ”

Xiao Jinyan kept turning the Rubik's Cube, but found it difficult to put the six color faces on the same plane, tried several times, and finally gave up.

Mr. Xu said, "I have studied it for more than 20 years, and I can only restore four of them, but it has made me realize a lot of truth. ”

"Listen up. ”

Mr. Xu said, "This world is flat. ”

Xiao Jinyan was surprised, "The saying that the sky is round and the place is round has existed since ancient times, and the sky is the lid of the pot, and the cage is at the end of the world, isn't it easy to draw conclusions?"

Mr. Xu smiled and asked, "Since it is flat, have you ever heard of anyone who has gone to the end of the world?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head.

The continent is surrounded by the sea.

Yet never before has anyone ever explored the end of the sea. The only time it is recorded is that the Great Qin Emperor was attacked by a huge ship and sent 500 people to the sea to visit the immortals, but he never returned.

Mr. Xu added, "Just like this Rubik's Cube, our world is exactly one side of this Rubik's Cube, and in addition, there should be five completely different worlds. Shujian Mountain, on the other hand, is from another world. ”

Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered the strange scene he saw in the Shuiyue Cave Heaven. Volcanoes, magma, ruins, cities floating in the air, air bridges connecting cities, ironclad monsters flying around, originally he thought it was a fantasy in his mind, if it was really as Mr. Xuan said, could it be that time in the cave sky, he really saw another world?

If they existed, what would the rest of the world look like?

Mr. Xu took the Rubik's Cube, turned it in his hand a few times, and made the same color on all four sides, he pointed to the white side and said, "Suppose this side is our current world." Originally, the six worlds were independent and not entangled with each other. He turned it twice more, turned a red grid to the white surface, and said, "But one day, suddenly a grid on another plane came, this grid is incompatible with our world, and there is also a true element, power, and even civilization in that world, far beyond our civilization, this grid always wants to return to its own plane, if it were you, what would you do?"

"I'll turn it back. ”

"If you let him turn back, but you have to sacrifice the other five faces, and you don't know what civilization will be on these five faces, will you still do it?"

Xiao Jinyan thought about it for a moment, "If I am a red-faced person, of course I won't care about other faces, and if I am a white-faced person, I naturally won't let them turn at will." Otherwise, no one knows if it will attract other things. ”

Mr. Xu said, "This is where the contradiction lies. Everyone on the surface will consider the problem based on their own interests, so this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen. But if there is a higher being, for example, the Supreme Heavenly Dao, he has the ability and strength to turn this Rubik's Cube, he doesn't care about the things above, as long as he achieves his goal, then the world will be chaotic. ”

The analogy is somewhat obscure.

But Xiao Jinyan roughly understood the truth.

Mr. Xu added, "Over the years, in addition to studying Qimen Dunjia, I have also dabbled in Buddhism, Taoism and Western religious classics, and when I read intensively, I also found some problems. ”

"Buddhism has six paths of reincarnation, which vaguely reflect that in addition to the human world, there are six different worlds. Whether it is Buddhism or Western Buddhism, there is heaven and hell, the divine realm and the underworld, and I don't think it is a coincidence. ”

"Another thing is that whether we or the Western religion, there have been records of the end of the world, such as the joint work breaking through the Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa mending the sky, and the disaster of the flood in the Western religion, if you calculate it, it is almost the same time. It can be concluded that many years ago, our world suffered such a catastrophe. ”

Xiao Jinyan has never heard of the things taught in the West, but the saying of not going around the mountains and mending the heavens is spread in ancient times, and then counting the seven days in the sky, these are all myths and legends handed down from ancient times, and they all record the catastrophe that the world once faced.

Dongfang Nuannuan also said that the order of the world has been chaotic, and it is necessary to use the power of Shujian Mountain to reorganize the order of the world, but if this is the case, then the price is too great.

That would be a human disaster.

Even if Shujian Mountain had no malicious intentions, their actions were enough to destroy the world.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan's back was cold.

Mr. Xuan smiled, "This kind of thing, in the teachings of Western Buddhism, has a name, called the Apocalypse. And my guess is that it is the Supreme Heavenly Dao that has descended to the world. I once found a fragment in a barren mountain, which used a strange dating method, and I converted it accordingly, and the next day of the Heavenly Dao should be the ninth day of the winter month of the year of Renchen. ”

Xiao Jinyan was shocked and said, "This year?"

Mr. Xu said, "It's the winter solstice. ”

These words really scared Xiao Jinyan a lot, he originally wanted to ask Mr. Xu about rescuing Li Chuntie, but he accidentally learned about this.

For a long time, everyone said that the way of heaven is coming, the way of heaven is coming, but Xiao Jinyan feels that these are too ethereal, they have been five hundred years, and they have never seen the way of heaven coming, and now these words made him difficult to accept for a while.

He tried to drive this thought out of his mind, why do I think about this, even if the sky falls, there is a high top, and it is not his turn Xiao Jinyan.

Thinking of this, he asked Mr. Xu, "What did my senior brother ask me to come to you for?"

Mr. Xu put the Rubik's Cube on the bookcase, and said solemnly, "Dean Li asked me to convey a word to you." ”

"What?"

"Don't go to the capital, let alone save him. ”
