Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 26, Tangram Bottle
The tree of Xuanfeng Gate is too big, to be honest, I don't dare to provoke it, but I can't stand the bullying of others to my head, even if the wild dog meets the tiger, the tiger robs the wild dog's rations, and the wild dog at least barks a few times. My threat sounded quite serious to a few people from the Xuanfeng Sect, and Li Dashou, who was standing behind, also changed his face and said, "Ba Xiaoshan, do you know who this is?" ”
As soon as I turned over the Tushan Knife, I had already turned around in my hand, the killing intent in my eyes loomed, and I said in a low voice: "I don't care who he is, even if the head of the Xuanfeng Gate is standing in front of me, he can't touch my things casually!" ”
"Haha......" I didn't expect the man with braids to laugh when he heard it, and said, "Interesting and interesting, before I went down the mountain, I heard the elders in the sect say that there is a local snake in Shanghai, which has jumped up in the past few years, and has some skills." At first, I thought that I was just a casual traveler who climbed the dragon and the phoenix, but you were beyond my expectations. If you really have the ability, you are a man, but I am afraid that you are powerful in your mouth and have no real skills in your hands. ”
"If I have a real trick or not, you can try it and you'll know."
I looked at him, the height between the two was about the same, he restrained the sneer on his face, it looked calm, but it seemed that this calm was gloomy and murderous.
"I still have something to do today, so it's inconvenient to stay here...... Li Dashou reminded in a low voice behind him, the man glanced at Li Dashou, then turned his head to look at me and said, "We will see you again in the future." Your name is Ba Xiaoshan, right, hehe, remember my name, my name is Yuan Xu, we will have good contact in the future. ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, leading a group of people from Xuanfeng Gate out of the alley. The fat man said at this time: "Damn, what a turtle bastard, a face that is the best in the world, next time I bump into him, I can't kill him!" ”
I put away the Tushan knife, waved my hand and said, "Forget it, the elite disciples of the Great Gate Sect are all of this virtue, let's go, go and see Senior Guan first." ”
In the residence of the senior, I put the black box on the table, and I said: "Senior, this is what we found near the ancestral hall, I won't say much about the specific process, and the last thing I got was such a vase, you see, does this vase have any meaning?" ”
As I spoke, I opened the box and took the vase out. The texture on the surface of the vase is not very strange, the wide mouth, the bottle body is relatively narrow, I don't have much research on porcelain, so I can't say why. So he sat next to him and didn't say anything, Guan senior stepped forward to look at the vase and didn't speak, raised the bottom of the vase and looked at it, and there was no payment below, the fat man muttered: "Senior, what dynasty is this?" Tang and Song dynasties? ”
Senior Guan still didn't speak, and after looking at the vase for a long time, he suddenly lifted the vase high, and then slammed the vase to the ground at a speed that none of us could react to. I only heard a crisp sound of "clang", the vase shattered to the ground, and all four of us were blinded. Then I heard Luo Qiong shouting: "Oh, senior, what is this for?" What a smash! ”
A few of us hurriedly squatted down to pick up the fragments of the vase, and the fat man was also asking Guan seniors, I was also very curious, could it be that it was a fake or a fake so it was smashed by Guan seniors? But at this moment, I picked up one of the fragments and looked at it, and I was immediately stunned, and there were words engraved on the fragments. The part of this inscription is the inner part of the vase, the base is white, and the engraved word is red. I looked down and took a closer look, the font used in this red handwriting did not look like regular script and Song style, but like official script, and I asked strangely: "How can there be words in this?" ”
After hearing my words, the fat men and the others also began to search among the fragments, and sure enough, they found many fragments engraved with words, and when they connected these fragments, it was actually a complete paragraph.
"It turned out to be hidden inside, no wonder the predecessors wanted to smash this vase, but what is this written? I don't understand! The fat man asked, scratching his head strangely.
"This vase is called a tangram bottle, and it is the craft of the older generation. The inscription inside the vase hides a secret. At this time, Guan seniors opened their mouths to explain, "This technique has been handed down from ancient times, and when encountering valuable vases, people in the circle who know how to do it will generally not destroy them, so the secret is kept inside the vase, and as long as it is not broken, it will not be discovered." I've met tangram bottles before, so I know the trick. These engraved characters seem to be in official scripts, and the content is: the blood of the three tribes, the pattern of the nine directions. The holy land is surrounded by clouds and red streams. ”
It sounds like a mantra, but no one knows what it means. I wondered, "What does that mean?" ”
"I can't say what should be some kind of mantra or some kind of decree."
I didn't even know about the seniors, and my brothers didn't know it either, so I thought I had to go home to study and study, and I looked up, but I found that it was already dark outside, in fact, it was already evening after we came out of the old bungalow, and we opened to the alley and took a group of people from Xuanfengmen, and it was already past eight o'clock at this moment.
"It's not early, let's go first, and don't affect the rest of the old-timers." I wrapped up all the pieces of the vase and took my leave. But I heard Senior Guan say: "You guys have been more careful lately. ”
There was something in his words, and what he said didn't seem to mean just the people of Zhongtianmen, as if he also had some feelings of pointing to Xuanfeng Gate. I nodded, still not holding back the question in my heart, and said, "Senior, you are the old man of Zhongtianmen, right?" ”
Senior Guan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, you should have checked my bottom." ”
It's rude to check someone's background behind my back, I nodded awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry senior, I'm curious at this time." ”
"Then you should know who I am."
"I've heard of it, you should be the previous master of Zhongtianmen and the head of the sect, Guan Xunjian, right?" I asked tentatively, and he smiled and nodded, admitting.
This admitted, the big guys were reluctant to leave, and the fat man hurriedly asked: "Senior, then you have to be three hundred years old!" ”
"I'm two hundred and eighty-six years old this year."
A man who lived two hundred and eighty-six years old sat right in front of us, and anyone who could have had their jaws fall in astonishment. In the past, we didn't meet that kind of old guy who didn't die, such as the old witch who sold us the little one at the beginning, but the reason why they lived so long was mainly because they relied on evil magic to make their own people not like people and ghosts. But no matter how you look at it, Guan seniors are all upright, and they are famous teachers, so they won't do those evil things.
"Senpai, how can you live that long?" Even Yuan Feng, who had never intervened much, couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"The life expectancy of human beings can actually be extended, or in other words, the life span of human beings is originally very long, but it is constantly shortened due to the acquired environment and their own good fortune. For example, people who are clean and kind generally live longer than those who are eager for quick success and go in and out of polluted areas all day. Those who do good deeds and do good deeds every day live longer than those who do evil. Life expectancy is the best reflection of a person's good fortune, the blessed can live for a hundred years, and the unblessed may die as soon as they are born. My good fortune and the magic I cultivated made my karma very clean, so my lifespan was much longer than that of ordinary people. ”
This explanation is also weird, to put it simply, people who do good deeds and breathe clean air can live long, and the worst thing is that people who smoke and eat gutter oil all day long will definitely die quickly. It's like saying this and not saying it, who doesn't know these truths. I estimate that Xuanfeng Gate, as one of the two sects of the Daomen Shuangshan Sect, is not surprising that there are some longevity-prolonging Dao methods, and Guan Seniors are the former head of Xuanfeng Sect, so it is not uncommon to live for hundreds of years.
"Then why don't you stay at the Xuanfeng Gate? As far as I know, the head of the Xuanfeng Gate is for life, and he will not be replaced unless he dies or takes the initiative to let Xian. You are still alive but you are no longer the head of Xuanfeng Gate, could it be that you took the initiative to let Xian go? "This kind of thing is incredible, it's like sitting on the throne of the dynasty, and actually giving it to others in his lifetime?
"There's some of the past in this. It's inconvenient to tell you that if you have the opportunity in the future, you will naturally know......" Obviously, he didn't want to say much about the secrets involved.
