Chapter 54: Secrets
I only heard the immortal praise his father and said: "Mr. Nie, Brother Pu, in the past few months, the two of you have been working hard for the artifact, and this artifact is closely related to the old decay, and now that the old decay has appeared in front of you, you must have something in your heart that you want to ask the old decay face to face!" This seat is stupid, I really don't know what the immortals are talking about, and I ask the immortals to tell me about it, and solve the doubts in our hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Hearing Nie Sanjiang say this, Father Kua said in a slightly puzzled tone: "Mr. Nie, about the artifact, only the old man can tell you the truth today, don't you want to ask the old man about it face to face?" Nie Sanjiang was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Immortal, it's not a secret, this seat has been verified, and the artifact is a fictitious thing, and it can't be true." Therefore, regarding the artifact, this seat already knows in his heart, and there is nothing to ask. Please also ask the immortals to know it. After hearing this, Kuafu let out a long "um" and said, "Since this is the case, then you should leave first, and the so-called secret will not need to be said again." When Nie and Pu heard this, they both left according to their words. Who knows, just a few steps away, there was a voice from behind him: "Brother Pu, you stay, let Mr. Nie catch the head and go first." After hearing this, Pu Luochen stayed. Nie Sanjiang continued to walk back. Looking at Nie Sanjiang's distant figure, Pu Luochen asked with some puzzlement: "Immortal, why did your old man leave me alone? My Pu Luochen is just a small catcher under Nie Zong's head catcher!" Or you can say that you are not a headhunter at all. β
After Pu Luochen heard the last sentence, he was slightly surprised, and then said: "The predecessor is an immortal, so naturally he knows everything about this earthly world. Falling dust has nothing to say. It's just that what the predecessor said just now sounds like there is another deep meaning!" Father Kua smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Then according to Brother Pu, what is the deep meaning of what the old man said?" Pu Luochen pondered for a while and said: "Since the immortal asked such a question, then Luochen dared to speak out. The immortal knew that Luochen was not a head catcher, but he still broke away from Mr. Nie's head catcher, leaving only Luochen alone, and Luochen inferred from this that what the immortal said was either related to Mr. Nie's head catcher, or it was not appropriate for people in the public gate to hear it. Luochen's explanation is nothing more than that, as for whether what Luochen said is correct or not, it depends on the meaning of the immortals. Father Kua couldn't help but show an approving gaze, and said with a smile: "That's right, the old man really didn't look at the wrong person." Brother Pu, the reason why Lao Yu took Nie Zong's head hunt is because what Lao Yu said is very important, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better!" Pu Luochen said: "Since this is the case, why did the immortals inform Yu Luochen of this matter?" Father Kua replied: "Because Lao Yu believes that Brother Pu is not a greedy person. Pu Luochen was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "The immortals are wrong, Luochen, like many people in this world, is a greedy person. Kuafu said "um", and immediately asked: "Since you say that you are a greedy person, then the old man has to ask: What have you been greedy for?" Pu Luochen replied: "That is already an old thing, since the immortal asked, then Luochen will tell him." Luochen was the head disciple of the Shushan faction, the first sword sect in the world, at that time, I was not only greedy for the position of the head of the Shushan faction, but also had a lot of thoughts about my little junior sister, so it can be seen that Luochen was also a greedy person!" After hearing this, he shook his head again and again, and said: "No, no, you were the head disciple of the Shushan faction in the past, and the position of the head should have belonged to you, if it weren't for the selfishness of the sword eyebrow Taoist, you wouldn't be down on the street!" If you were really greedy, how could you be willing to leave empty-handed? The kindness in your heart tolerates your master's faults, but you can't bear all this happening, so your heart has been tormented and miserable, and you even want to die several times to seek liberation, but unfortunately, God will not give you this opportunity. Since you are bent on seeking death, it can be seen that you have no nostalgia for this earthly world, how can a person who is no longer greedy for the earthly world be a greedy person?"
Seeing this, Father Kua asked: "Brother Pu, why don't you say a word?" Could it be that you think that the old man is not right?" Pu Luochen hurriedly said: "No, no, no, what the immortal said is very reasonable, and Luochen is convinced." Father Kua continued to ask: "Since you are happy and convinced, why don't you say a word?" Pu Luochen said hesitantly: "Immortal, as you said, I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Pu Luochen is a person without greed, but he also has no nostalgia for the world. Why did the immortals choose such a person as meγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» "Father Kua replied, "Because only a man like you would not covet the treasures of the world, and even if the treasures were of great value, you would not take them for yourself." Pu Luochen was so clever that he soon understood the meaning of his words, so he asked: "Immortal, do you have treasures to hand over to Luochen to guard?" Father Kua said happily: "Yes, the treasure that the old man said is the ancient artifact that you and Nie Zongtou have been searching for for months!" Pu Luochen was taken aback, and actually said with a little stutter: "Immortal, you γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» you can't be joking, right?" Father Kua quickly asked: "Do you think the old man seems to be joking?" Pu Luochen couldn't help but be speechless. Seeing Pu Luochen's dazed look, Father Kua smiled and said, "It's really hard for Brother Pu." Only the ignorant people in the mortal world will believe in ghosts and gods, and Brother Pu has never believed in ghosts and gods, so it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the artifact. However, since you have already met the old decay in Kuafu Mountain, can't you still decide whether this artifact is true or false?" Pu Luochen pondered for a while, and said: "According to what the immortals said, there is something unclear about Luochen, since the immortals have an artifact in their hands, why don't they hand over this artifact to Mr. Nie to catch the head, but hand it over to the hands of Luochen?" Because the time is not right!" Pu Luochen saw that what the immortal said implied a mystery, so he said with interest: "Since the time is not right, then Luochen will not ask." Father Kua nodded and said, "That's very good, when the time comes, you will understand the reason for it." Pu Luochen said: "Maybe so." After a pause, Pu Luochen said again: "By the way, Luochen still has something unclear, and I ask the immortals to make it clear." Pu Luochen's expression was solemn, and he said: "Immortals, it's not that Luochen refuses to guard the artifact for the immortals, but before that, the artifact matter has been in an uproar, although it has ended, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be greedy for the artifact again." If at this time, the real artifact appears in the world, I am afraid that these people will fight for the artifact, and a bloody disaster will be inevitable. Luochen implored the immortals, let's continue to leave this artifact in Kuafu Mountain, lest anyone lose their lives because of this!"
Kuafu shook his head slightly and said, "Someone will lose their lives because of the artifact, this is fate. It has nothing to do with the artifact's existence. What should happen will always happen, Providence is so, although the old man is an immortal, he is powerless to change it. Luochen, you still accept the old man's arrangement and guard the artifact!" Pu Luochen said disappointedly: "Since this is the case, Luochen obeys the arrangement of the immortals." When Kuafu heard this, his expression began to become serious. I saw that Kuafu's eyes were suddenly closed, his hands stretched forward, and his five fingers were bent inward, as if he was grasping something. Pu Luochen wanted to step forward to see what was going on, but as soon as he stepped out of his front foot, he saw a strong light coming out of the palm of the immortal Kua's father, because this strong light was extremely dazzling, so Pu Luochen had to temporarily close his eyes. By the time he opened his eyes, the bright light had turned into a strangely shaped wooden staff. The staff was five or six feet long, and from end to end, it was as black as charcoal, as if it had been burned by fire. Pu Luochen looked at the wooden staff, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that this wooden staff is an artifact in the mouth of the immortals?" only to hear Kuafu reply: "Yes, it is this thing!" When he spoke, Kuafu had already opened his eyes.
Pu Luochen said: "Since this wooden staff is an artifact, why is it like this?" After hearing this, Father Kua asked: "Then according to Luochen's opinion, what should the artifact look like?" Pu Luochen thought for a while and replied: "According to Luochen's opinion, the artifact is a sacred thing, noble and inviolable, but this wooden staff in front of him is like a burning stick used by the peasant people, vulgar, Luochen really can't imagine this thing and the artifact together, and please forgive the immortals!" Yes, at first glance, this wooden staff does not look like an artifact, but according to your folklore, it should be this wooden staff made of peachwood. Pu Luochen was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "How do you say this?" Kuafu explained: "Folk rumors say that when the old age is dying, a divine weapon is left in the people. And the only thing left in the folk is this wooden staff. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Yanhuang army, Lao Yu led his clansmen to flee in all directions, and when he came to Kuafu Mountain, everyone was exhausted. Lao Yu made a wooden stick out of the peach wood at the bottom of the mountain to help Lao Yu move forward. Later, the old man died at the hands of Ying Long, the general under the Yellow Emperor, and this wooden staff was also left at the foot of Kuafu Mountain. Therefore, the artifact you have been looking for should be this wooden staff. After hearing this, Pu Luochen had mixed feelings in his heart, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the decisive battle helped kill so many people, and in the end, it was just an ordinary wooden cane." Father Kua looked at Pu Luochen with a strange gaze and said: "Listening to the tone of Brother Pu's words, it seems that he is pitying those who died!" Pu Luochen said: "No, Luochen is not pitying them, Luochen just suddenly understands a truth." β
"What's the reason?" asked Kuafu.
"If a person is greedy, the more he wants to get something, the less he will get it. Even if you get it, I'm afraid that the final result will only outweigh the gains. Instead of trying to get something that doesn't belong to you, it's better to keep to yourself and do what you have to do. Pu Luochen said earnestly.
"Well said, what do you think you should do?" asked Kuafu.
"Of course, it is to stop the wicked from doing evil. Pu Luochen replied quickly.
Father Kua let out a long "um" again, and said, "Brother Pu, you are right, in this case, the old man will hand over this artifact to you now, and you can use it to stop the wicked from doing evil!" Then he took the wooden staff from Kuafu's hand. Strange to say, as soon as the wooden staff arrived in Pu Luochen's hand, it immediately transformed into a black sheath long sword, the scabbard was pitch black, the hilt was pitch black, and the scabbard was also painted with the pattern of Kuafu day by day. Pu Luochen was shocked, hurriedly rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and said that what he saw was correct.
"What's going on γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» this?it's obviously a wooden staff, why did γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» suddenly change into a long sword?" Pu Luochen looked at the black-sheathed long sword in his hand and couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
"It's very simple, because this wooden staff is a wishful magic weapon, and when it reaches someone's hands, it will be transformed into a weapon commonly used by that person, and the Pu brothers have practiced swordsmanship since childhood, so this wooden staff has been transformed into a long sword that sharpens iron like clay. Kuafu replied slowly.
After listening to Kuafu's reply, Pu Luochen couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and said in a loud voice: "In this way, this wooden staff is indeed a rare ancient artifact!" Kuafu smiled slightly and said, "You finally know the magic of this artifact." When Pu Luochen heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed, and immediately bowed down to make amends: "Immortals, Luochen is ignorant, Luochen really shouldn't take things by appearance, blaspheme the majesty of the artifact, and ask the immortals to punish him!" Pu Luochen nodded and said: "Luochen understands, Luochen strictly follows the teachings of the immortals!" Pu Luochen saw that the immortal looked solemn, so he immediately said: "The immortal said, Luochen should obey his orders." β
I only heard Kua's father say: "Brother Pu, you have guessed before that what the old man said should not be heard by the public. The head catcher of Mr. Nie who came with you is a member of the public family, and Brother Pu is a smart man, so he should know how to do it, right?"
Pu Luochen immediately replied: "Please rest assured that Luochen should abide by the secret and never leak the artifact." β
After hearing this, Kuafu shook his head slightly and said, "Falling dust, it is not easy to keep a secret. Besides, a so-called secret will sooner or later be known to the whole world. The old decay is just for you to keep this secret for the time being, and when the time comes, it will be made public. Do you understand the meaning of decay?" Pu Luochen couldn't help but hesitate a little, and replied in a speculative tone at the moment: "The meaning of the immortal's words, Luochen naturally understands. It's just that Luochen dared to ask: When the immortals say "the right time", I don't know when they are referring to?"
"This γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Kuafu couldn't help but look embarrassed, but quickly prevaricated: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!"
Pu Luochen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said: "Since that's the case, Luochen won't ask." Subsequently, Kua's father explained some other things to Pu Luochen, and after the explanation, Pu Luochen left the fork in the road with Kua's father and walked back.
