Chapter 038 Ancient Paintings of the Shi Family
The reason why it is called Sikun Mountain instead of Wukun or Liukun Mountain is because there are four peaks named Kun here.
Eastern Kunqu, Southern Kunqu, Western Kunqu, and Northern Kunqu.
According to the array diagram of Xingyun Temple, the four Kuns of Sikun Mountain can be linked together.
As long as the construction of the defensive gate is completed, Zengyue will definitely find a way to make this array work.
Shi Rongchuan found that he didn't quite understand what Jiu Taiye said. He had no experience with arrays and directions.
"Since you are doing it yourself, you will definitely need manpower. Do you want me to transfer some people from the Shi family to help?" The Shi family has a similar company, and with more professional people running it together, it can get on the right track sooner.
Jiuxiao knew that Shi Rongchuan was kind and concerned, but it was just a cover.
So she didn't agree to his suggestion, but instead said, "Let Songyue worry about it. It's time for her to learn how to run the business."
Shi Rongchuan understood when he heard this.
The Ninth Master must be paving the way for Yang Zengyue, and he was willing to sacrifice all his belongings for this.
He really loves this girl with all his heart, and judging by Yang Zengyue's appearance, he is also very good to Master Jiu.
This was Master Jiu's own private matter, and he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't say anything else.
Having been here for three days, Shi Rongchuan felt that Master Jiu was not deceived by Yang Zengyue's sweet words, but was doing this willingly.
But, people’s hearts are always hidden.
Once a girl falls in love, it is very likely that Jiu Taiye will be left with nothing.
In this world, human hearts are the most unreliable things.
Jiuxiao immediately understood the meaning of Shi Rongchuan's expression. He knew his concerns, but Jiuxiao didn't intend to say anything.
He would not interfere with what kind of person Zengyue married in this life, whether he found one or not, or who he married.
He could be sure that Zengyue would not hand over Xingyun Temple to anyone, nor would he let anyone covet it.
It can be seen from the fact that she started arranging and constructing the project without stopping after she came back.
She just wants to live a quiet life.
As for whether she would still shoulder that responsibility after the end of the world, Jiuxiao would neither force her nor give her any advice.
Let her follow her heart.
Furthermore, once Zengyue decides on something, she will not let anyone change her mind.
She is not the kind of person who loves blindly and trusts others blindly.
Shi Rongchuan is judging others by his own standards.
This idea is quite normal.
Everyone in the world thinks so.
Jiuxiao took a sip of tea and said, "We will go to Xingyun Temple early tomorrow morning and stay there for two nights. You pack your luggage and bring the things you need for the expedition. If you don't have anything, ask Zengyue for it."
Since the Ninth Master has explained it so clearly, Shi Rongchuan might as well go and see the Xingyun Temple which has a thousand-year history.
In Jiuxiao's opinion, the matter of Xingyun Temple must be clarified with Shi Rongchuan, who will take over the position of the head of the Shi family, sooner or later.
However, after he decided to erase his name from the Shi family tree, Xingyun Temple was no longer the responsibility of the Shi family.
Shi Rongchuan just needs to know.
Originally, he planned to take all the responsibilities of Xingyun Temple on himself, so he did not tell Zengyue about the underground palace.
I haven't contacted the Shi family in these years.
However, after the end of the world that Zengyue described came, Xingyun Temple was searched from top to bottom, and he disappeared without a trace. This was most likely because of the underground palace of Xingyun Temple.
Almost everyone who knew about this is dead, but there are still a few old people alive.
Could it be that these old fellows, who have more minds than seven orifices, are secretly planning to build the underground palace again?
The reason why Jiuxiao did not tell Shi Rongchuan that the end of the world was coming was that although the internal and external situation in Zhongwei was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, no major changes would occur in the short term.
As for neighboring countries, even if they make trouble, China and Ukraine can easily deal with them.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer investigated for so long in their previous lives, but they couldn't find out why the end of the world was coming.
They themselves speculated that they were being targeted by unknown forces because of energy issues.
Because in the end times, food, factories, manpower, and even large supermarkets have disappeared without a trace, and even the buildings are gone.
Yang Zengyue didn't believe that China's current technology and the strength of other countries could achieve this level overnight.
Secondly, Jiuxiao knew that if he spread the news that the end of the world was coming, the Shi family would definitely take action, but the Shi family probably wouldn't believe it.
But those families lurking in secret would be very sure of what these people would do, Jiuxiao dared not imagine it.
In Zengyue's memory, Xingyun Temple was occupied by people after the end of the world. Moreover, what those people found was the real Xingyun Temple, not the one that served as a cover.
Could it be those old immortals?
Jiuxiao thought of this and told Shi Rongchuan that after returning to Nanyuan, he must pay attention to the movements of these families in recent years and investigate thoroughly.
Shi Rongchuan felt a little breathless because of Jiuxiao's solemn tone.
I don't know why he is so cautious.
But he didn't refuse.
Because Pang Guanqun’s incident reminded him.
After chatting with Master Jiu, Shi Rongchuan called his mother Shi Baigu.
After repeating Ninth Master's words, Shi Baigu finally took it seriously.
After ending the call with Shi Rongchuan, Shi Baigu took out the relics left by his great-grandfather.
When Grandpa Shi Yun was dying, he solemnly handed the box to her.
At that time, she had not yet taken over the position of head of the family from her father.
She remembered clearly the last words her grandfather said to her before he left:
If one day, a person who calls himself Shi Jiu contacts you and asks you for money, give it to you; if he asks you for things, give them to you. Don’t ask why. If you still have something unclear, open this box.
Shi Baigu remembered this sentence at that time, and this was the only thing his grandfather told him before he died.
He had already arranged everything else, but left this box for her to open after Shi Jiu came to find her.
After hearing what Shi Rongchuan said, Shi Baigu originally planned to wait for him to come back before opening it together, but it seems that he can no longer wait.
After opening the box, Shi Baigu saw a scroll. When he opened it, he saw a three-foot square painting.
After seeing the painting, Shi Baigu was surprised.
Judging from her experience, this painting is at least more than a thousand years old.
It is very likely left behind by the ancestor of the Shi family.
There are three lines of small words below the painting.
Records the location of an ancient building.
There is also an ancient building above the painting.
The three words "Xingyun Temple" are very eye-catching at the main entrance of the ancient building with carved beams and painted rafters.
When Shi Baigu looked carefully, he found that the three words "Xingyun Temple" seemed to appear through the paper.
Picking up the painting, Shi Baigu carefully read the three lines of small characters written in the old way.
The ancestor of the Shi family left this painting so that the Shi family members could protect this temple.
The meaning of the text describes the location of this temple.
Just now, Shi Rongchuan also mentioned the three words Xingyun Temple on the phone.
This is certainly not a coincidence.
