Volume 2 Who Dominates the Ups and Downs Chapter 103 Mysterious Arrows and Doubts
"I'll tell you a story first!" the Nine Heavens Xuannu continued:
"In the past, the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou, pacified the world, and divided the world into Kyushu. The Yellow Emperor then sent nine clan leaders to guard Kyushu, and gave each clan leader a weapon and a huge bronze tripod. These nine kinds of weapons were extremely miraculous at that time, but they may not be called divine weapons today! After the Yellow Emperor distributed the nine kinds of weapons, he set a rule that a martial arts competition would be held every five years, and the winner could marry the most beautiful woman in the world and let his son inherit the Great Ding. I don't know how many years this tradition has been followed, but it is at least 500 years, because it was in such a competitive competition that Dayi won the first place in Kyushu with his archery skills, and married Chang'e, the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. However, Da Yi was not one of the nine clans designated by the Yellow Emperor, he defeated the descendants of the nine clans one by one and won the first place. After hundreds of years of competitive competitions, these nine kinds of weapons are far from the weapons distributed by the Yellow Emperor to the leaders of the nine clans back then, and the skills of the nine clansmen can also be imagined, but they are still all defeated by Da Yi!"
"That Dayi's divine arrow can shoot down the sun in the sky, and it is natural to win the first place!" Yu Shan interjected.
"This competitive custom did not stop after Dayi, although no Son of Heaven followed this ancient custom, but the struggle between the descendants of the nine clan leaders and the descendants of Dayi did not stop. Until the time of Jiang Taigong, he included the descendants of the nine clans scattered in the world into the cyst, so as to help King Wu seize the world of the Shang Dynasty. Speaking of this, the Nine Heavens Xuannu suddenly asked Ling Junzi:
"That's the end of the story, what questions do real people have?"
"How did Da Yi defeat the descendants of the Nine Clans one by one? Will one person compete with the nine people at the same time, or will he compete with the nine people one by one?" Ling Junzi asked.
"The real person really saw the flaw in it! The arrow is a long-range attack weapon, and the descendants of the nine clans are all hand-armed weapons such as swords and halberds, and the two weapons can't be distinguished from each other, they can only be divided into life and death, so how to compete is the key!"
"Yes, if you compete one by one, it will not be glorious to win the next day!" Yu Shan said.
"The first game is indeed a one-to-one competition with Da Yi! How can the nine clansmen not know the truth of this, but they are all skilled, superb, and they don't take Da Yi in their eyes at all, plus Da Yi is one against nine, and his tone is not small, and the nine clans think that it is impossible for them all to lose to him, so they only stipulate that the distance between the two sides is forty steps, this one condition!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"Forty steps or something, the number of times Da Yi can shoot arrows will not exceed four times!" Yu Shan said.
"However, that Da Yi is really powerful, he can have five shooting opportunities in forty steps and so on, plus he can shoot two arrows at the same time, and he can shoot seven or eight arrows at most! So in the first game, Da Yi easily defeated the Nine Clansmen, and by the time the Nine Clansmen reacted, it was too late to regret it! In the second competition, the Nine Clansmen changed the rules, stipulating that Da Yi could only shoot three arrows at a time, but he still lost to Da Yi. The rules of the game have been changed again and again, and after several generations, I don't know how many times, the game between the two sides has never stopped. It wasn't until Hou Yi, a disciple of Dayi's descendants, killed Taikang and ascended the throne that the Divine Arrow Gate was established, and the rules were changed to nine against nine, that is, nine Divine Archers against nine Nine Clansmen, and the Nine Clans still failed to win once. People generally believe that it doesn't matter if they lose the game, what matters is that the people of the Nine Tribes have lost the 'Jiuding' that symbolizes power and glory, so they are unrelenting to recapture the Jiuding! But after a long time, the secret hidden in the Jiuding was slowly revealed, and Hou Yi learned that there was a huge secret hidden in the Jiuding, so the Jiu Tribesmen were indomitable and vowed to win back the Jiuding!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu said here and stopped to take a sip of tea.
Everyone listened attentively, and Wang Xu couldn't help but ask:
"What's the secret?"
The Nine Heavens Xuannu avoided answering and continued:
After Hou Yi learned of this secret, he stopped the game, took back all the Jiuding and placed them on the royal court, and sent nine archers to guard the Jiuding. After that, Hou Yi, who was on the throne, wanted to know the secrets of Jiuding through various methods, but because the secrets were in the hands of nine people, none of them were indispensable, and Hou Yi never got his wish. Later, Han Xun killed Hou Yi, Shao Kang killed Han Xun again, Jiuding changed hands several times, but the replacement was only the duty of guarding Jiuding, Jiuding was still placed on the sacrificial platform of the Xia Dynasty, and became a symbol of royal power. In the Shang era, the competition between the Nine Clans and the Divine Arrow Gate for the guardianship of Jiuding slowly evolved from a competition to a fight. Fighting is different from competitions, there are no rules and restrictions at all, and the lethality of arrows is always stronger than swords and the like, so the people of the Nine Clans have not been able to regain the guardianship of Jiuding. After Jiang Taigong, the battle between the Nine Clans and the Divine Arrow Gate still did not stop, and until today, the scattered Nine Clans did not know how many clans and a few people persevered, but they still wanted to recapture Jiuding and swore to kill the Divine Arrow Gate. Think about it, whether it is a kind of struggle, a struggle, or hatred, what kind of struggle has lasted for thousands of years since ancient times? If it is only a struggle, how can it span 1,700 years? This is definitely not an ordinary struggle, and there must be a great secret hidden in the Jiuding! What do you say?
"It's really incredible! Although I have heard of this past, it is not as clear as what the Holy Aunt said!" Yu Shan sighed.
"To face the entanglement and revenge of the people of the Nine Clans for more than a thousand years, it is indeed not easy for the Divine Arrow Gate, and you must always practice archery, I am afraid that because of this, you have practiced such a stunt as the Spider Silk Arrow, right?"
"In addition to the Spider Silk Arrow, the Nine Palaces Arrow is actually the real undefeated magic skill of the Divine Arrow Gate!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"The Nine Palaces even the arrow is also a magic arrow gate stunt, so why is it ranked after the spider silk arrow on the hidden killing list?" Wang Xu asked.
"What kind of secret is it?Master, tell Jiuding's secret first!" Qi Lu said even more anxiously.
"Don't interrupt yet, wait for the holy aunt to take a sip of tea and continue!" Yu Shan said.
"Silly girl, if Master can know other people's secrets, is that still a big secret?"
"Decades ago, the descendants of the Nine Clans brought a three-foot boy from the Western Regions to seek revenge on the Divine Arrow Gate. The first battle between them was on the altar of the Zhou Dynasty, which was where Jiuding was located. At that time, the descendants of the nine clans had long been separated, and they had not appeared for a long time, and at this time, the people of the Divine Arrow Gate did not take it to heart, so there were only eight people who guarded Jiuding at that time, and only one person was missing, Han Qingsha, who was missing. Seven people died in this battle, almost all of them died under the sword of the three-foot boy, and the only one who was alive was named Luo Ning, who fled back to Shangqiu Shenjian Gate. Han Qingsha and Luo Ning were originally husband and wife, one of them held an arrow and the other held a bow, and together they were complete spider silk arrows. However, the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, and they have been separated in two places for a long time, so the three-foot boy broke the housekeeping stunt of the Divine Arrow Gate - Jiugong Lianjian Arrow. The three-foot boy is indeed like steel, invulnerable to knives and arrows, but he is not invulnerable, his eyes are the weakness, and the arrows of the spider silk arrows are very hard, which are also lethal to the three-foot boy! If Han Qingsha was present that day, the three-foot boy might not be able to defeat the people of the Divine Arrow Gate, but she was not present! Han Qingsha thundered after learning the news of the death of the seven people, but she couldn't forget to have a big fight with Luo Ning! Han Qingsha knew that the people of the Nine Clans would definitely find Shangqiu to take revenge, so she had no choice but to find the Longines master to help, and the husband and wife had a big quarrel because the Longines master and Han Qingsha had an old relationship, which was one of the factors of the discord between her husband and wife! Although the Longines master was already one of the best masters in the world at that time, he was still defeated by the three-foot boy and was seriously injured. The husband and wife were also seriously injured, and Han Qingsha had fallen to the ground. Just when the lives of the three were hanging by a thread, a mysterious person appeared, recovered the three-foot boy, and saved the three. This is the end of the story!"
Everyone could hear it, and after a long time of coming back to their senses, Qi Lu was the first to ask:
"Who is this mysterious man? Is the three-foot boy dead?"
"It should be Mei Xian, it is likely to be Yan Hao, because the teacher has gone overseas since then!" Yu Shan said.
"Not only the Longines master, but also the Meimen master also took Han Qingsha and the three-foot boy, and the three-foot boy did not die! Han Qingsha later gave birth to a son, and she named her son Luo Chaoge. Han Qingsha and Luo Ning have never seen each other again in their lives, according to the name she gave the child, this child is Luo Ning's son, and it should be that Han Qingsha was pregnant when she left. The Nine Heavens Xuannu said.
"So the teacher has been with Han Qingsha since then?" Yu Shan asked.
Many years later, Luo Chaoge came to see Luo Ning, but Luo Ning refused to recognize this son, nor did he refuse to teach him the skills of the spider silk bow, thinking that Luo Ning must be heartbroken!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"That three-foot boy is so powerful, how can Mei Xian subdue him?" Qi Lu wondered.
"Whether it is a fairy or a god, the world does not know! But if the god wants to subdue the three-foot boy, it is just a gesture!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu said lightly.
"Aren't the people in the sect just very good at charming, do you have any other skills?" Qi Lu asked.
"Silly girl, you girl's family naturally doesn't understand! This world is a man's world, men are inferior to women, and men control the world, but Meimen controls men through charming, and also controls many man-created magic skills! If it is Master Yan Hao who deals with the three-foot boy, she combines the magic of intention and tardigrade, she can instantly control people's thoughts and wills, and can also instantly send out 'tardigrade divine power', so that people are in a state of condensation!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"Master, didn't you just say that the Slow Stepping Divine Skill does not have divine power?" Qi Lu said suspiciously.
"I just said 'original'! Originally, the tardigrade divine skill did not emit divine power, but Master Yan Hao is a master of intreption, if the intactive technique and the tardigrade divine skill are fused, after reaching a certain realm, he can emit a power called 'tardigrade divine power'!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"That's really a skill that only a god can do!" Qi Lu said with a pout.
"Why did the Meimen Immortal make a move, I'm afraid this is the crux of the problem, right?" asked Wang Xu.
"That's a good question! Senior brother really didn't see the wrong person!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu smiled:
"The Meimen Immortal made a move, naturally in order to keep the secret of Jiuding!"
"But Jiuding is in the Luoyi Royal Court, and the world can pay homage at any time, what is the secret?" Wang Xu doubted.
"Ordinary people naturally don't know, but the Meimen Immortals must know! The Meimen Immortals must not want them to get Jiuding, in case the secret is leaked from now on!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"What is this secret, how could the Meimen Immortal know?" Tian Dan asked.
"You're so stupid! Is it difficult for an immortal to know the secrets of mortals?"
"Immortal is just a title, you think it's really omniscient and omnipotent!" Tian Dan said unconvinced.
"If I knew the answer, I would be an immortal!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu smiled and continued:
"There is a person who can predict the future, he can be regarded as half an immortal, this person is also my old friend of Xuanmen, he must have already solved the secret of Jiuding. Regarding Jiuding, he left a sentence: 'Jiuding belongs to the Lu family, and the world is also from the Lu family!' This sentence is actually not from him, but from the mouth of Jiang Taigong Lu Shang!"
"This person Master is talking about is Daoist Gande, I used to hear Master mention his astrology!" Tian Dan asked.
In the past, when Jiang Taigong was in charge of the Zhou Dynasty's soldiers and horses, and when he obtained Jiuding, someone once persuaded him to be the Son of Heaven, and he smiled and said: 'Eight hundred years later, Jiuding is my Lu family, and the world is also my Lu family!' Although this sentence is recorded, everyone only takes it as a joke and does not know the deep meaning, and Daoist Gander must know that Jiang Taigong means something!"
"The world and Jiuding belong to the Lu family, and there is no Lu royal family among the seven kingdoms today?" Wang Xu doubted.
"My brother and I didn't believe it either, so Gander asked us what were the ten words that each tripod was made up of ten identical characters? Gander said: Word of mouth is 'Lu', ten words are five 'Lu' characters, the nine tripods symbolize the power of the Ninety-Five, and the Lü family must be the Ninety-Five! My brother and I laughed, when the Yellow Emperor made the tripod, there was no double-mouthed Lü family in the world, how could the Lü family be the Ninety-Five Honor, and I also knew that he was unwilling to break the heavens and deliberately fool the two of us!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"Is Daoist Gander still alive, where is he now?" Wang Xu asked.
He came once before the death of the senior brother, and the two talked about a person, that is, Qu Yuan, the leftist doctor of the Chu State. At that time, the senior brother said that he regretted confiscating him as an apprentice, and Gander said that he had also seen Qu Yuan, and that he was indeed a genius as the senior brother said! Qu Yuan must know where he was!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"Eight hundred years later, the world and Jiuding will return to the Lu family?" Wang Xu counted the time in his heart and muttered:
"In this way, within a hundred years, the Seven Kingdoms will be extinct, and the world will surely be one?"
"Exactly!" said the Nine Heavens Xuannu.
"Holy Aunt, can you talk about the Spider Silk Arrow and the Nine Palaces Arrow?" Ling Junzi asked after changing the subject.
"The spider silk arrow is made of the silk of the spirit spider into a string, the rhino horn and ivory into a bow, and the ice drill into an arrow, which is called the spider silk arrow. Among them, the manufacture of arrows is the most complicated, the most lethal arrow arrows are made of diamonds, and the body of the arrows is also inlaid with luminous diamonds, which are indestructible, even if they are three-foot boys with steel bodies, if they are hit head-on by the arrows, they will be injured if they do not die! In addition to diamond arrows, diamonds are usually replaced by crystals and ice, because diamonds are very rare and hard to come by! The Nine Palaces Arrow is actually an arrow formation composed of nine people, and the spider silk arrows are in the middle palace position, and the other eight people are in the eight palace positions. As for the ranking of the hidden killing list that Xu'er just mentioned, firstly, because the Nine Palaces were nine people, secondly, because of the reputation of the Spider Silk Arrow in the rivers and lakes at that time, and thirdly, I think it was because the ranked Wuguan Lao'er himself couldn't figure it out!" Nine Heavens Xuannu Dao.
"Wuguan Lao'er, you're talking about Wuguan Lao'er who used to sell tea at the foot of the mountain, right? It turns out that the hidden thorn list is actually his masterpiece!"
"He never admits it, but I know it's him! Yun Mengze was originally a hermit in the middle of the mountain, he sold tea at the foot of the mountain, people came and went, gossiping every day, and naturally well-informed, so there was the 'hidden thorn list' This ranking list of rivers and lakes!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu said and smiled at Ling Junzi:
"Real people are also on the list!"
"The Holy Aunt smiled! Today, with the advice of the Holy Aunt and you, Lingjun will never forget this trip for the rest of his life, and I need to ask the Holy Aunt another question! In the past, I was injured by an arrow weapon after Zhao Guoguo, and there was no arrow weapon left on my body, and there was no arrow hole in my body, only one arrow hole; just now the Holy Aunt said that the Xuan Arrow of the Divine Arrow Gate can be made of cold ice and crystal, and the crystal arrow weapon is what I have seen with my own eyes, and the arrow wound suffered by the Queen of the Kingdom can be concluded to be injured by an ice arrow?"
"The sharp arrow in the body, there is indeed no arrow, and there is only one explanation of the cold ice arrow! If it is injured by other small sharp weapons, it must remain in the body, and the injured person must also have a tingling sensation, so according to the real person, Zhao Guoguo must be injured by the cold ice arrow!"
"That's really the case!" Ling Junzi sighed, thinking that the people of the Shenjian Gate attacked the queen of the country and the master's father, and it must be Lu Maoshou to avenge the revenge of the Tianfu Sect in the past, but it is unknown how Lu Maoshou could be involved with the people of the Shenjian Gate.
"So, I think of a past incident, and there is a hidden truth in this matter!" Wang Xu said suddenly, and everyone did not know what he was talking about, but listened to him continue:
"Some time ago, we stayed in Xianyang for a long time, and there were often artists in the streets to interpret the story of 'King Wu lifting the tripod', I remember one of the passages, the king of Wu said that he would take the 'Yongding' back to Xianyang, and then he died of the tripod! At that time, I thought it was funny, how could it be possible to lift the tripod to lift people to death? Later, I asked people about this matter, and indeed some people also questioned this kind of 'death due to excessive force'! Now that I think about it, since the Divine Arrow Gate is guarding Jiuding in the old royal court of Luoyi, and the Martial King wants to take away the Yongzi Ding, the Divine Arrow Gate will naturally not stand idly by, it is likely that the people of the Divine Arrow Gate injured the Martial King with a cold and dark arrow, but did not leave a trace, so it created the illusion that the Martial King died by lifting the Ding, this is the truth of the Martial King lifting the Ding and dying!"
"If that's the case, then King Qin Wu died too unjustly!" Yu Shan said.
"Mr. is smart, he thinks what ordinary people dare not think, Lingjun is impressed!" Lingjunzi hugged his fist.
A few days later, Ling Junzi left Yun Mengze, and along the way, he recalled the story told by Yu Jiutian Xuannu and Thorns, and he only felt incredible and fascinating.
