Chapter 326 Past Events
The hall fell into silence after Cheng Jiao asked this question.
After a long while, Han Lao, who seemed to have regained his strength, said, "To observe a rumor."
"What rumors?"
"How did the lost bronze treasure box return to the countries?"
Cheng Jiao said this seems to be in line with science...
"Does the senior know?"
"I know. Donghuang Taiyi once talked to me about it."
Although Old Han did not open his eyes again, the soul fluctuations he emitted still made Cheng Jiao feel a sense of reminiscence.
"According to him, after he got the box, he put it somewhere randomly. A few months later, someone picked it up and sold it to a merchant. After several twists and turns, it returned to the royal family. Then it was taken away again and thrown into the bottom of an unknown river. Two years later, the box inexplicably appeared in the royal family and returned to my hands."
Cheng Jiao pondered and said, "Why didn't Donghuang Taiyi put the box next to him and watch it himself?"
Old Han's voice turned from hoarse to more normal, which made Cheng Jiao feel more comfortable. He wondered if he used spiritual power.
"You haven't become a celestial being yet, so you can't perceive the will of heaven and earth. If you force yourself to keep the box with you, at best you will suffer in your cultivation, or at worst you will develop demons in your heart and die suddenly."
Cheng Jiao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with this statement.
Given Donghuang Taiyi's strength, it is impossible that he was not able to collect the seven bronze treasure boxes in a few decades.
Cheng Jiao pondered and said, "Senior Han, do you know that Han Fei has a sword called Ni Lin. The sword body is broken, but the weapon spirit is still there. Its strength is comparable to the top, which is quite magical."
Old Han suddenly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes became sharp.
"Have you seen it?"
The spiritual power in Cheng Jiao's body started to operate instantly like lightning.
"I saw it once. Han Fei was blocked by two hooligans after drinking wine. Then the weapon spirit appeared, a man in black armor."
Mr. Han's voice, which had been calm all along, brought out the mood of the atmosphere.
"Sun Duzi! I gave him the Ni Lin Sword and told him that if he uses the Ni Lin Sword, he will have to pay with his life!"
Cheng Jiao remained silent. He had also guessed that using the Ni Lin Sword would consume one's lifespan.
"Senior, there is no need to get angry. Those two hooligans are assassins from the Night Clan, and they are all first-rate masters. Moreover, it seems that Brother Han did not use the sword, but the Reverse Scale Sword protected its master on its own."
Old Han sighed.
"This way, less vitality will be consumed. He is lucky to be recognized by the Ni Lin Sword. The previous sword master who did not completely gain the recognition of the Ni Lin Sword was not so lucky when using the Ni Lin Sword."
Cheng Jiao asked curiously, "Who was the previous master of the Ni Lin Sword?"
"Shen Zishen is not harmful. Back then, after I helped Han Aihou to destroy Zheng State, I accidentally obtained this famous sword, which is said to have been owned by the master of Legalism since its establishment. This sword is also very spiritual and can choose its own master."
Old Han said with some nostalgia.
He still remembered the stubborn young man who insisted on reform and would rather die than surrender, making South Korea one of the powerful countries.
Cheng Jiao recalled the Ni Lin sword, on the hilt of which there was a mythical beast, Xiezhi.
This mythical beast has high intelligence, understands human words and human nature. It can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty from treachery. It is a symbol of bravery and justice, and is a mythical beast recognized by the Legalists.
Could it be that this Ni Lin Sword is an ancient divine weapon transformed from the ancient mythical beast Xiezhi?
When Cheng Jiao was thinking about whether to borrow his brother-in-law's great sword, Old Han suddenly coughed heavily. "Senior, are you okay?"
Cheng Jiao flicked his finger and sent a wisp of spiritual power into Old Han's body.
It's a way of thanking Mr. Han for the information.
Old Han shook his head slightly: "I am about to die, and spiritual power is of little use to me. It is not a loss to be able to live for two hundred years in the Dharma Ending Age."
After a pause, Old Han said in a low voice, "The reason why I am talking to you is because I have something to ask of you."
Cheng Jiao thought to himself, it turns out that things are not that good.
"Please tell me, Senior. I will do my best to achieve it."
Old Han said slowly: "Save Han Fei's life."
Cheng Jiao was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Han and I are good friends, so I will not let him die."
Old Han shook his head slightly: "Although I have been in the palace for a long time, I also know the situation of the world. Now the situation of the world is clear. Qin has unified the world, and Han has also reached the moment of its end. This is the cycle of heaven, which cannot be stopped by human power. But Han Fei wants to go against heaven. If he does not have the destiny, death is his destination."
Cheng Jiao was surprised. He had thought that Old Han was an old fellow who only cared about practicing. But now it seemed that he was short-sighted.
"Don't worry, senior. Han Fei is Honglian's brother and a good friend of mine. He will definitely not let Brother Han suffer. At the same time, I promise that I will treat the Korean people well and preserve the royal family of Han."
Although the old man in front of me is about to die, who knows if he will reach the ultimate sublimation.
Although he is about to die, he is still open-minded, which shows that he is a decent person. It is better to make some promises to let the old man pass away in peace.
Old Han sighed and said, "You are thoughtful. I have lived for two hundred years and have seen through it. Nothing can withstand the erosion of time."
Cheng Jiao remained silent. He didn't know whether he could live forever with the person he loved.
"I once lived in the old palace of Zheng State for more than ten years. I found a scroll of Canglong in it, which recorded some things about the Seven Stars of Canglong. After my contemplation, I gained a little. If my prediction is correct, the Seven Stars of Canglong related to destiny will be opened after the unification of the world."
Old Han originally wanted to die with this secret, but when he saw that Cheng Jiao was a good person, he simply told him.
Cheng Jiao subconsciously asked, "The Blue Dragon Scroll?"
He recalled that in the original novel, Mo Ya fished out a scroll from the bottom of the cold palace lake, on which were written the words "Canglong".
This time he went to Xinzheng, one of his purposes was to look for this thing.
Old Han said in a deep voice: "There is a prophecy recorded on the Azure Dragon Scroll. When the world is unified again, the Azure Dragon will appear. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I have to believe it."
Cheng Jiao took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that when the Zhou Dynasty unified China, they opened the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon?"
Old Han was silent for a moment. "According to records and legends, Jiang Ziya once stepped into the realm of heaven and man. He is also the only person who has been able to trace his journey to the realm of heaven and man in the past thousand years."
Cheng Jiao asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Although it is the Dharma Ending Age now, there should have been a lot of spiritual energy from a thousand years ago, so there seems to be nothing wrong with the emergence of a Jiang Ziya who is above the gods.
"Since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, no one has become above the gods. Even the strongest, King Zhou, was just one step short. What the world lacks is not only spiritual energy, but also some other things. Some sages speculated that our world..."
Old Han's cloudy eyes became clear.
“Maybe it’s incomplete.”
Cheng Jiao was a little confused. An incomplete world? So this is why there are stockings, high heels, and Gundam robots here?
While Cheng Jiao was in a daze, Old Han continued to say something that Cheng Jiao had to take seriously.
