Chapter 10 Chen Lao Guanzhu
Unexpectedly, Bai Laogui finally linked this matter to the Queen Mother of the Yellow River. However, if you think about it, you can understand that the Queen Mother of the Yellow River must have existed earlier than the formation of the Jiulong Cave, and the matter in the Yellow River must not be hidden from her.
Bai Laogui is a good storyteller. Later, he told me a few weird things related to the Jiulong Cave. After listening to it, I was still immersed in his story for a long time.
Lying in bed and unable to sleep, I sorted out all the things that happened since I was a corpse fisherman, trying to find out the information related to my life experience, but unfortunately I didn't understand anything until I fell asleep.
The old saying goes, if you think about something and dream at night.
That night I dreamed of the nine evil dragons, all over the body, with ferocious and terrifying heads. They were walking secretly at the bottom of the Yellow River, covered with heavy chains, as if they were dragging something with all their might.
I tried hard to see what they were dragging, but I couldn't see clearly no matter how hard I tried.
The next day, the big man named Wang visited again.
None of his accompanying people came this time, and only one Taoist priest was accompanied. Seeing that his clothes and dress were exactly the same as before, they should have come from Huiji Temple.
He is much older than Chen Qiu. His hair is gray, his face is like a tree bark, with deep wrinkles, all of which are the vicissitudes left by time. He holds a whisk in his hand and a zhai dipped sword hanging around his waist. The sword-watching style should be a while ago.
The Zhai Dian Master Sword is a symbol of the Taoist priests and is the nameplate for them to walk in the Yin and Yang realms.
Not all Taoist priests are qualified to carry swords. If they want to wear swords, they must be able to achieve great merits. They can draw talismans and chant mantras to report to the nine heavens and the nine ghosts.
According to legend, there is also a method in the Taoist sect that specializes in the sword of the wizard, which can only be used to ask the gods to ward off evil spirits and even attract the true thunder in the sky.
"Mr. Wang invited Lord Chen to come, and he was determined to let my Bai family break the incense?" Seeing them, Old Bai's face was extremely difficult to see.
"As a son, I can't let my father's body sink in the Jiulong Cave for the rest of my life. Please help with Brother Bai in this matter." The big man named Wang said patiently.
"Who is your father?" asked Bai Laogui.
"The King's Relic."
"Haha, it turns out that you are his descendant. You didn't want me to salvage your father's bones, but I'm afraid I want me to guide you and salvage the water-dividing sword of your Wang family?" Bai Laogui said with a sneer.
I also heard Bai Laogui talk about the Wang family’s water splitting sword last night.
The legend of the Shui Dividing Sword is a magic weapon used by Dayu when he controlled the flood and diverted the Yellow River. It was divided when it encountered water and could divert the river.
Of course, the Wang family's water-dividing sword is not a magical artifact left by Dayu, but it also has the effect of protecting the body in the water. It is precisely because of the obtained water-dividing sword that the Wang family emerged in the treasure-supporting world, and at its peak, it can be as famous as the Zhang family outside the pass.
There was a saying on the Tao that all the treasures in the mountains were Zhang, and all the treasures in the water were Wang.
The importance of the Diversion Sword to the Wang family can be seen from this.
Thirty years ago, Wang Yifeng came to us with the Water Dividing Sword, had the idea of the golden dragon head of the Jiulong Cave, and personally took the sword into the water, but he never came up again after that.
The surname Wang was exposed by the old ghost in Bai's heart and did not react much afterwards, and did not argue with Bai's old ghost. Instead, he turned to look at the Lord Chen next to him.
Bai Laogui also turned his gaze to Chen Guanzhu, with a solemn expression on his face.
Since entering the yard, Chen Guanzhu has been standing there quietly, without raising his eyebrows and eyes, and his expression is indifferent. He stands casually into a dead pine tree, detached from the world.
Actually, I have seen it long ago that this old Taoist is the most cautious person of Bai Laogui. Although the Wang family is very powerful, there is nothing to be afraid of at all Bai Laogui.
But Master Chen is different. Master Chen is not someone else, he is the successor of the Taoist priest back then. He knows everything about the Bai family. It is no exaggeration to say that he is holding the lifeline of the Bai family in his hand.
Bai Laogui can choose not to block the river eye, but as long as Master Chen said a word, he would not be able to go.
"Baihechou, what are your plans for the Next Year of the Year this year?" Chen Guanzhu spoke lightly and asked a seemingly casual word.
After hearing this, Bai Laogui's expression changed rapidly, including anger, sadness, and shame. Finally, he said resolutely: "No plan."
"So, are you not going to block the river eye?" Chen Guanzhu's tone was still very light, and he was not surprised by the words of Bai Laogui.
Old Bai opened his mouth to defend something, but in the end he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Time flies very quickly, and more than a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye. Recently, I often see my master in my dreams. Master said that he was the one who was wrong back then, and he should not be too harsh and angry with the Bai family. Even if your great-grandfather did not secretly hide the ninth golden leader, what should be come will come."
"What a person who should come will come, then what is the sacrifice of my Bai family?" Hearing this, Old Gui could no longer bear it and retorted loudly.
"Compared with my master's death, nothing counts."
When Master Chen mentioned his master's death, his tone was filled with sadness.
Later, the Yellow River Queen told me that the branch of Funiu Mountain was neither poured over by the flood nor mobilized by the mountain god, but was moved by the Taoist priests using the mountain moving technique...
What does it mean to be a Taoist priest who can move mountains?
Compared to him, mortals are really like ants, and the sacrifices of the Chen family are nothing.
"My coming here today has nothing to do with the Wang family. I have something I want to ask you. I have been in seclusion for several months, but after I came out of seclusion, I realized that I had a disciple. His name is Chen Qiu. He was adopted by me since childhood. He has a lot of wisdom and died of death by God. I heard that he had come to you when he went back, but I don't know if you know anything."
When Master Chen mentioned Chen Qiu, I thought in my heart that what should come finally came. Hui Jiguan had never investigated Chen Qiu's death. It turned out that he was waiting for this old man to come out.
"I don't know." Bai Laogui said.
"Oh, it seems that I was too worried. I thought you mentioned my master's affairs to him. Bai Lao Gui, I know that there are some secrets passed down from your ancestors in your heart. I hope you will be rotten in your stomach forever." Chen Guanzhu reminded him.
"I'm naturally responsible for this."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, it seems that Bai Laogui did not reveal the truth to me last night, and there must be something else hidden from me. However, this matter has nothing to do with me, it is a private matter of the Bai family, and I am too lazy to guess and think about it.
At this point, Master Chen planned to leave, and the Wang surnamed also went with him.
I followed them, preparing to close the yard after they left.
Unexpectedly, just as I was about to close the door, Chen Guanzhu, who had already walked outside the door, suddenly turned around and asked me: "Old White Guy doesn't know about Chen Qiu, do you know?"
"I don't know anything." I was so scared that I quickly denied it, for fear that he would see something.
"How old are you this year?"
“Twenty-seven.”
"Oh, it turns out that this year is your nine years. I can see from your appearance that you will have a great disaster of life and death this year, but because of the help of noble people, life and death will be reckless. Are you willing to tell me your birth date and horoscope? I will help you calculate carefully."
Master Chen said almost exactly the same thing as Chen Qiu, but how could I dare to report my birthday to outsiders?
He quickly waved his hand and said to him, "The life is getting thinner and thinner, and I don't want to tell fortunes."
Seeing that I was unwilling, Master Chen did not insist anymore and got into the car named Wang and got off the river embankment.
When I returned to the yard, I told Bai Laogui about Chen Guan’s main question about the horoscope. He was shocked after hearing this.
"Fortunately you didn't tell him, and he didn't ask too much, otherwise your ghost wife wouldn't be able to protect you."
Huixiang once said this sentence: She said that Bai Laogui had made the wrong plan and that the Yellow River Queen would definitely not be able to protect me by relying on just one of the Yellow River Queens.
So I asked him, is this old Taoist really that powerful?
"I haven't seen the depth of the Taoist practice of the old bull's nose before, but you also saw the magic sword he carried with you, right? It was the magic sword used by the Taoist priest. With this sword, you can go to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion to use it at will."
"Uncle Bai, then, that Taoist priest must have had a high status in the Tianshi Mansion?"
