Chapter 272 A Prophecy
"Prophecy?" Xu Chuchu raised her eyebrows. She never believed in these things.
She is good at fortune-telling, but prediction and fortune-telling are two completely different things.
Divination is the process of predicting the future or examining past events. For example, Xu Chuchu once used divination to find the remains of relatives and deceased people.
"Prophecy" is to determine that something will definitely happen in the future.
Xu Chuchu disagrees with this point. In her opinion, everything in the future is uncontrollable. If everyone involved makes a slight change, things will go in a different direction.
"These..." The more Xiao Yu looked at it, the more incredulous his expression became.
He is usually a calm person, and can handle everything calmly except those related to Xu Chuchu. What did he see that surprised him so much?
After Xiao Yu finished reading it all, he said, "This calligraphy and painting was left by an ancestor of the Shen family over a hundred years ago. He said that he observed the celestial phenomena at night and knew that the Shen family would inevitably be wiped out a hundred years later. Therefore, he left a portion of the family wealth and this prophecy, hoping that future generations would see it."
"The disaster of genocide? Then he did predict it." Xu Chuchu shuddered, "Then what did he predict?"
Xiao Yu glanced at her and said, "He said that fifteen years after the Shen family is exterminated, there will be a five-star alignment. Someone in a high position will take advantage of this situation and rise to the top. Then they will approach the demon race, establish cultivators as the supreme leader, and disrupt the balance between humans and demons, causing great suffering to all living beings."
Xu Chuchu opened her eyes wide: "Did you really expect that?!"
If, as mentioned above, the emperor elevates the status of practitioners in the future, the practitioners will definitely use physiognomy to oppress ordinary people, and the entire order will be disrupted.
You must know that the current rules do not allow this. Anyone who dares to bully ordinary people will be punished by their respective factions.
Xiao Yu nodded and continued, "There's another line after that: 'When the time comes, a young man from the Shen family will hold a precious sword, behead the dragon, defeat the powerful enemy, and bring peace to the world.'"
"The young man from the Shen family is holding a sword..." Xu Chuchu turned around and looked at Jiji.
Isn't he the only young man in the Shen family now? He also happens to have a sword.
Cut off the dragon's head... Doesn't the dragon refer to the fire dragon that appeared in the palace formation?
Everything fits together!
"What about this candlestick? What is it used for?" Xu Chuchu asked.
Xiao Yu used a feather duster to sweep away the dust around it. "The candlestick means that if an outsider who is not from the Shen family comes here, I hope he can take this candlestick, crush the snake gallbladder into oil, and light it in the southwest corner of the formation. This will break the five-star alignment."
He thought for a moment, then said, "The formation mentioned here should be the one used by the Dog Emperor to absorb energy. The snake gallbladder is also readily available, just the other way we came in. This ancestor prepared everything, which was truly well-intentioned."
Xu Chuchu silently kept everything said above in mind.
This disc is very old and engraved with current events, so it is definitely not fake.
It seems the Shen family isn't simply a military family; they're also skilled at observing the night sky and predicting the future. There are always people better than you.
When the Shen family was wiped out, it was most likely because General Shen, the head of the family, died of illness. The Dog Emperor was afraid of the Shen family's ability and took the opportunity to kill other members of the family to prevent future troubles.
Fortunately, little Shen Zhe escaped and grew up safely.
This speculation made people sigh, but as things progressed, everyone soon became excited.
Only Gigi began to panic.
What did this prophecy mean? Was he the "young man from the Shen family"? He was going to behead the dragon? Was he the wrong person? How low was his cultivation level? How could he possibly accomplish something that even his senior sister couldn't?
He had just found a sense of belonging in his family, but now he immediately doesn't want it anymore.
Not to mention that Daju kept nagging beside him and trying to imitate the movements of chopping off a head with a knife, which made him even more panicked.
"Oh, right, Jiji!" Daju hooked his arm around Jiji's neck like a good brother, "Since you're the master of the Shen family, all the treasures in this room are yours. Let's make a deal, why don't you give me that ring? I think it suits my fur color perfectly."
Xu Chuchu came over after hearing this and said, "Hey, Jiji, we don't have any suitable magical weapons right now. Can you pick a few to use first? We can return them after we're done."
"Take whatever you like! You don't have to return it!" Gigi didn't care about those things anymore. He just hoped that these things had nothing to do with him.
After getting permission, everyone happily went to choose magic weapons. Although they had to be returned, who wouldn’t love magical weapons that could increase their power?
Xiao Yu also leaned in to take a look, but was pushed away by Daju: "Just use your feather duster, don't pick anything else."
Xu Chuchu finally couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile: "Okay, Daju, this is business, time is tight, let's finish picking and go back soon."
Daju pouted and stepped back, glaring fiercely at Xiao Yu's now arrogant face.
In the end, Xiao Yu chose a folding fan that suits him.
The folding fan is made of holly wood as the frame, straw stem paper as the surface, and the joints are connected with deer tendons. The fan surface is painted with exquisite formation diagrams.
Xu Chuchu picked out a mirror made of silver colored glass that could reflect demons.
The mirror's direct combat capability is not as good as that of a folding fan or sword, and it cannot be used in head-on combat, but its long-range attack capability is the strongest, and it can even achieve a surprise victory from a hundred meters away.
In addition to the ring, Daju also chose a pair of boxing gloves to facilitate his favorite cat boxing.
There was no need to choose Gigi, as all signs indicated that his sword was the best.
Apart from these, there were many other treasures in the room, some even of higher quality, but no one took more.
After they had packed up everything, they closed the disc and messed up the little figures on it to prevent any bad guys from coming in and seeing the prophecy.
Then go to the other side of the fork in the road, which is the room where the snakes are.
These snakes didn't seem to be affected by the flooding a few days ago, and they were still curled up together hibernating.
Xiao Yu applied medicinal powder on his body, picked out a few big fat snakes, dragged them out, and took out the snake gall to use for burning oil later.
Everything went smoothly and everyone returned to the entrance and prepared to swim back to shore.
Before going into the water, Xu Chuchu shook the compass in his hand, wanting to see where the big fish was so that he could wait until it was farther away before setting off.
Unexpectedly, the compass, which had always been accurate, suddenly stopped moving this time. No matter how Xu Chuchu shook it or turned it, the needle just didn't move.
"Has it got wet? Let me take it apart for you to check." Daju asked enthusiastically.
No one can restore the things that Daju disassembled, including but not limited to the computer, remote control and water heater in his previous home.
"Never mind, let's talk about it outside." Xu Chuchu walked in front.
