Chapter 043: Auspicious Beasts in Incense Burner
Shi Rongchuan had already seen the eaves of the ancient building between the shadows of the trees. Just by catching a glimpse of the eaves, Shi Rongchuan couldn't wait to see the whole picture. He could see that this building was different.
There is a mystery all over Master Jiu.
No, it's these three people, they all have secrets.
Except him!
Yang Zengyue did not go to the main hall, but went to the room with Chen Jiaer to put the items.
She and Chen Jiaer fetched water and cleaned the master's room first, made his bed, and put out his bedding for him to rest first. Then they went to clean their bedroom next door.
After tidying up the room, I went to the kitchen to tidy it up briefly and put the food away.
Pumpkin popped in to inspect and then disappeared, having a lot of fun.
Yang Zengyue lit the agarwood he brought with him and began to fumigate the room.
After the fragrance dissipates, you will feel refreshed.
Chen Jiaer took a deep breath and said, "Sister Zengyue, this fragrance is so special."
Yang Zengyue closed the incense burner carved with auspicious beasts and said, "I made this according to the recipe left by Xingyun Temple."
At this time, Chen Jiaer noticed the incense burner in front of Zengyue: "This incense burner is very unique. Who are these auspicious beasts related to?"
Each of the auspicious beasts has a name, but unlike the Qilin, Bixi, and Pixiu that Chen Jiaer is familiar with, the auspicious beasts on this incense burner are different from those that can be seen in daily life.
Yang Zengyue carefully identified them and found that these auspicious beasts were not the ones they were familiar with.
Moreover, the eyes of the auspicious beast carved on the incense burner always made Yang Zengyue feel weird. She felt that the auspicious beast seemed to be alive.
Those eyes seemed to be quietly watching everything in the world.
Yang Zengyue asked Chen Jiaer if he had this feeling, and Chen Jiaer shook his head.
She only felt that the auspicious beast was extremely lifelike and its eyes were indeed very real, but she did not feel that it had any life.
Yang Zengyue: "Let's go to the master and see if he knows. He never told me before."
Suddenly, Yang Zengyue frowned.
Yang Zengyue discovered that there was a word on the incense burner, which had similar structure and direction to the word between the beads on her wrist.
He stretched his wrist to the incense burner for comparison. "Jia'er, come and take a look. Do these two characters look somewhat similar?"
Chen Jiaer jumped over and looked at Zengyue's bracelet, then looked at the incense burner. "Hey, they look really similar, as if they were made from the same place. I can't recognize the characters."
She actually became illiterate!
"Come on, Sister Zengyue, let's go ask Master Jiuxiao. He should know." Chen Jiaer pulled Yang Zengyue out of the room.
When I went to Jiuxiao's room and knocked on the door, I found that he was not there. I guess he and Shi Rongchuan went to the main hall.
Yang Zengyue took the incense burner and went to the main hall with Chen Jiaer. They passed through a corridor and walked through several side rooms before they got there.
Jiuxiao was kneeling in front of the statue of Master Xingyun. Shi Rongchuan imitated him, bowing, burning incense, and concentrating his mind and calming his breath.
After silently reciting with his eyes closed for a quarter of an hour, Jiuxiao opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
He told a story that spanned a long period of time, which sounded more like a legend to Shi Rongchuan.
Xingyun Temple was the temple that Lu Xingyun personally handed over to the ancestors of the Shi family.
As for who Lu Xingyun is?
Jiuxiao didn't say anything.
Shi Rongchuan asked, but he didn't say anything.
He only said: "He is an immortal beyond our comprehension."
Shi Rongchuan knew that Lu Xingyun must be his ancestor. Just looking at the history of Xingyun Temple, one could tell it was thousands of years old.
So he said, "How could the ancestors of the Shi family be related to Lu Xingyun? Wouldn't Lu Xingyun leave it to his descendants?"
But what Jiuxiao was talking about was "immortal".
Jiuxiao did not correct Shi Rongchuan after hearing his words. After all, the word "immortal" seemed a little incredible to him.
He just said that before him, the Shi family had always hired someone to guard this ancient building.
The Shi family would look for talented children with difficult backgrounds, raise and educate them, and their only responsibility when they grow up would be to protect Xingyun Temple.
During this thousand years, many bloody incidents had occurred in this temple, but without exception, they were all resolved by the Shi family.
It was not until the last century that Jiuxiao was born and grew up. Later, Jiuxiao learned about this matter and knew that Xingyun Temple was coveted by many people.
However, due to the special circumstances of the times, these families dare not show up again for the time being.
Later, Jiuxiao wanted to put an end to these people's ideas once and for all.
So, he left his family and came here in person, just to prevent those families from having the chance to get close to Xingyun Temple.
Before he left Nanyuan, he devised a plan to destroy the map of the underground palace in those people's hands. He also thought that as long as he could kill all those old immortals, their descendants would have no map and everything would be useless.
However, Zengyue said that after the end of the world, several groups of people set foot on Sikun Mountain and entered this Xingyun Temple, not the other one, and the Yan family had things from Xingyun Temple.
He was sure that the map had been completely destroyed, and no remnants could be found anywhere except the one he had in his hand.
Finally, it is not clear whether those people received the moon given by the underground palace.
However, if someone really came, he believed he would destroy the last map.
He doesn't know this secret, and no one else will know it.
After hearing this, Shi Rongchuan was still puzzled. It was just a thousand-year-old building. No matter how valuable it was, it was not worth the attention of those wealthy families in Nanyuan.
Anyway, if it were him, he wouldn't mobilize so many people for a building.
Shi Rongchuan's expression did not escape Jiuxiao's eyes. He looked at Lu Xingyun's statue and said slowly, "Some people will do anything to pursue seemingly unattainable dreams."
When Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer arrived, they heard Jiuxiao's words and agreed deeply.
Seeing the two girls come in, Shi Rongchuan didn't ask any more questions.
Jiuxiao knew Shi Rongchuan’s confusion, and once he got down from the underground palace, all his confusion would probably turn into understanding.
He couldn't explain it clearly to Shi Rongchuan now, after all, seeing is believing.
After showing Jiuxiao the characters on the incense burner and the beads on his wrist, he also shook his head: "I have never seen these two characters before."
But Jiuxiao was sure that these two were symbols, but he didn't know what they meant.
Yang Zengyue decided to take the incense burner with her. She always felt that these talismans would be very useful, but she didn't know how to use them.
Seeing that his granddaughter was about to go to lunch, Jiuxiao told her his decision: "After lunch, take away clothes, food, water and other necessities."
Yang Zengyue knew that his master would definitely take them to a place where they would have to spend the night.
"Okay." Yang Zengyue asked Chen Jiaer to prepare food, and she went to the gate of Xingyun Temple and sealed it.
With the mark she made here, she believed that no one could break it and enter Xingyun Temple.
Currently, no one in the entire Central Dimension knows how to crack the mark.
Even in the end times, no one can solve it.
