Chapter 90: Behind the Walk
Master Liu was not a vague person, he said that he wanted to give me clues, so he immediately took action, he took out a map from the drawer and placed it in front of me.
In fact, I wonder if Master Liu's drawer will be like those Miao girls, it is a drawer of a jingle cat, why is there everything? But my eyes were drawn to the map, and I wanted to know what kind of secret map it was.
But I only glanced at it, and I lost interest in that map, it was just a very ordinary world map, if there was any characteristic, it was nothing more than that it was a little larger than a normal map, and the signs on it were easier to see clearly.
What does Master Liu mean by putting a world map in front of me?
But I still didn't show any anxiety, because I believe that Master Liu will not do inexplicable things, he has always been a very efficient person.
Sure enough, after slowly arranging the map, Master Liu took out a red pen from the pen holder on the table and began to draw circles in one place after another on the map.
Soon, a map was outlined by him for more than two dozen places.
However, the red circles are different, some are single-weight red circles, and some are double red circles.
After finishing the painting, Master Liu stared at it carefully for a long time before he put down his pen with satisfaction, pointed to one of the double red circles and said to me: "These double red circles represent the places where floating islands once appeared." Take a closer look! ”
At a glance, there are more than a dozen places marked by double red circles on the map, and they must be in the waters of China, and they appear in the waters of most parts of the world, but they are concentrated in East Asia, especially in China.
I looked at it carefully for a long time before I looked up and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, there is no pattern in this, except that there are a lot of them in Huaxia." But why do you have it all over the world, Penglai Xiandao is a legend of our country. ”
"Your vision can't be so limited, maybe we call it Penglai Xiandao in China, and there is another way to say it abroad? Do you know that at the end of the 16th century, the West began the era of great voyages, if you are interested, you can look for the descendants of pirates, or the descendants of those seafaring pioneers, listen to their stories, hear the stories of their ancestors? Master Liu said to me with a smile.
At this point, I didn't resist this air-dried orange peel-like smile, and I was used to it.
Master Liu's words made me touch my chin and start thinking, as if it was very interesting, and I suddenly had a feeling that I didn't have enough time in my life, in fact, how could I have time to collect these materials.
Master Liu knocked on the table with one hand, and then said: "Our Liu family has had a glorious time since it got the Kunlun inheritance, at that time, the family was not thin, there were ancestors who were keen on cultivating resources and power that could bring convenience, so they naturally moved closer to the country, and there were also ancestors like idle clouds and wild cranes, and when they were seeking the Tao all their lives, they also tried their best to pursue some proof of existence, you must know that Huaxia is the representative of the Eastern Continent, China has Kunlun, and the West also has Atlantis?" ”
"What do you mean?" In that moment, I swear I was curious about the world.
"What I mean is very simple, the places where these floating islands have appeared are the secret, reliable information that my ancestors have obtained for generations. In fact, my family has some secret information about many mysterious events. Helpless, you also know the truth of prosperity and decline, my family's people are getting weaker and weaker, and now, this Liu family, which was once brilliant in the hidden world, still has two years of existence, I often wonder, why is this happening, is it that my family is against the original intention of Kunlun's preaching, so that a family withered? Master Liu's tone was a little sad, it was the first time I found out that he cared about something other than his daughter.
At the same time, I also feel sad for this Kunlun afterward, two years later, Master Liu and his daughter will 'go' at the same time, and at that time it will also announce the demise of this family.
For a while, we were silent, Master Liu's eyes were sad at first, and then gradually calmed down, he said: "That's it, the prosperity and decline are not up to people, after all, it is just a flashy dream, the fetters of life!" No avenue, even if it is a thousand good, it is in vain to add sadness"
I don't know how to comment, just bow my head and be silent, Master Liu said a little negatively, but he also said a truth, after his death, all kinds of scenery before his death are also a dream of Nanke, and finally he has nothing to do with himself, unless he can jump out of reincarnation.
Although there has always been a saying of reincarnation, as the end of the spirit, but in fact, I have not gone through it once, and I still have no score in my heart, who knows if reincarnation is a kind of return, or a recombination of the spirit? I have always been unconvinced of the underworld, and I am full of speculation about what kind of form of reincarnation is.
But this is obviously not the time to think about such a deep question, Master Liu said to me: "In fact, the probability of appearing in the same place is much smaller than the chance of appearing in a new place. ”
The hint was already so obvious that I looked up and said, "I see, it's a matter of probability, right?" ”
"That's the truth, but it's only one part, and the other part is related to some folklore." Master Liu's fingers kept tapping on the table again, and he said with a flat expression.
And I'm listening.
"Here, here, here" Master Liu pointed to several single-layer red circles on the map, and then pointed to another double-layer red circle on the map, and said to me: "This corresponds to here, and here corresponds to here."
After pointing to the map, Master Liu looked up and said to me, "I mean that from the sea area corresponding to these rivers, the probability of appearing is relatively large, you can see that there is no." ”
"What do you mean?" When I didn't understand the meaning of the single-layer red circle, I really didn't understand what kind of law Master Liu was indicating.
He was referring to a wide range of rivers and seas, such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Indus River, and the Amazon Basin.
"It's normal that you don't understand, let's go back to the folklore we just mentioned! This folklore is - Walking Jiao! Master Liu said slowly.
"Where is this legend?" I exclaimed, in fact, I have never seen a walking Jiao, but I have seen a snake spirit more than once, especially the snake spirit I saw when I was a child, and the spirituality I can't describe.
On that occasion, my master even sealed it himself!
My master won't lie to me, I firmly believe that there is such a thing as a walking Jiao.
"Hehe, for you and me, of course it's not a legend, the meaning of this 'legend' in my mouth is not the meaning of myths and legends, but refers to the folk, generations, there are many people who have seen Jiaojiao, so it has become a word-of-mouth saying, I mean this! Of course, folk legends have some meaning of adding oil and vinegar, but the essence of the matter will not change. Master Liu said indifferently.
"What is the essence of the matter?" I think my response today is very slow, I just don't understand what Master Liu means.
"Silly boy, the essence of the matter is that the snake turns into a river, and the dragon turns into a dragon into the sea, do you know what I mean?" Master Liu's eyes flashed, and this is probably the core part of the secret.
After speaking, he didn't say much, but took a sip of tea quite leisurely, which had a meaning that I realized for myself.
I looked at the map, and my mind was churning with the sentence that Master Liu told me, Jiao is like a sea dragon, dragon? The Divine Dragon of Huaxia?
Suddenly, I suddenly understood, and this thought suddenly made me excited, and I couldn't help but slap the table and shout: "Master Liu, I understand!" ”
Master Liu smiled, looked at me and said, "Understood, let's hear it?" ”
"Dragons exist, and there was once a national treasure-level genius scientist (Brother Sheng) who once revealed to me that there were some specimens, and the legend of dragons in history has never been heard! But that's the case, Master and I have also discussed some historical events, and the ones that can be found are usually Jiao, not dragons, where are the real dragons? Why do they go into the sea? In fact, they have always been there, why can't we see it, because there is a place - Kunlun, and Kunlun according to the clues I got, it may be overlapping with us! Dragons turn into dragons, on Penglai, again! I spoke incoherently excitedly, and I said it loudly, and I don't know if Master Liu understood.
Master Liu nodded and said, "That's what it means!" But don't limit your thoughts to the dragon, the dragon is the totem of China, but it doesn't mean that only it can enjoy the positive fruit! ”
