Chapter 25 The atmosphere was awkward for a while
After the man in black finished speaking, he stared at me with his gloomy eyes, as if he could see through me, but I was stunned.
"Hetu Luoshu?"
I was suspicious. Not to mention seeing this book, I even heard the name for the first time.
"You don't know?" Seeing my puzzled expression, the man in black frowned immediately, then sneered and said, "Boy, I warn you to be honest. Your friend's life is in my hands. I'll give you another chance. If you continue to play dumb, don't blame me for being rude."
I shuddered at the words, but a smile appeared on my face. I said with a smile, "How dare I? The one in your hand is my best brother. How dare I lie to you? I have never heard of the River Map and Luo Shu, let alone seen it. You...did you find the wrong person?"
"You found the wrong person? Do you think I'm a fool?" The man in black snorted coldly, "The River Map and Luo Shu, since the first time they appeared, have been passed around in the hands of various people until more than a thousand years ago, when they were obtained by Tian Linzi, the ancestor of your Zou Yin Ren lineage. Countless people went to fight for it, but all were defeated by Tian Linzi. Since then, the River Map and Luo Shu have been kept by your Zou Yin Ren lineage. Your master, Zhang Du'e, is the 733rd of the Zou Yin Ren lineage. The eleventh generation disciple is the descendant of the Du generation. He also has two senior brothers named Du Nan and Du Xie, but they died in the two deadly Feng Shui bureaus of Kunlong Land and Shensha Land. Your master is the only descendant of his generation, and he is also the leader of this generation of Zou Yin Ren. The Hetu Luoshu is managed by the leaders of Zou Yin Ren in successive generations, so the Hetu Luoshu must be in your master's hands. ".7
After hearing what the man in black said, I immediately muttered in my heart.
This man in black knows my master better than I do. It is obvious that he has done his homework and came prepared. Even
I have only a vague understanding of my master. I only know that he has extraordinary skills, but rarely shows them in front of others. He only regards himself as Mr. Yin Yang and makes a living by helping people to point acupuncture points and send funerals. I never
thought that my master had such an awesome disciple behind him.
But no matter how awesome he was, it was all in the past. His two senior brothers had died, so he was still alone.
But then my heart skipped a beat.
My master was not alone. At least, he had two disciples, one was me, and the other was my senior sister Zhang Yingchun.
"According to what the man in black said, this River Map and Luo Shu seemed to be a treasure. Could it be that my master secretly passed it to my senior sister, and then my master was afraid that I would compete with my senior sister, so he let my senior sister leave home at the age of sixteen and go out to play?"
But then I shook my head and thought to myself that no, my master is the best to me.
I shook my head, then glanced at the man in black, grinned and said, "My master really didn't mention the River Map and Luo Shu to me. However, my master has a small box that he always treasures. He often secretly opens it in the dead of night and takes out the things inside to look at them. If the River Map and Luo Shu you mentioned are really in my master's hands, then I guess the things in the box should be it."
These are all made up by me. The man in black obviously wanted to get the River Map and Luo Shu very urgently, and I used the River Map and Luo Shu as bait to lure him to release the tiger.
"Where is the box?" After hearing what I said, the man in black's eyes really lit up, and even his breathing became rapid. In his originally gloomy eyes, a trace of greed flashed.
Seeing this, I smiled secretly, but still had that simple and honest smile on my face, and said, "It's hidden under the cupboard in my house. My master is not at home these two days. How about... you come with me to my house to look for it?"
Hearing this, the man in black frowned and seemed a little hesitant. Seeing this, I added, "I remember that when I was a child, I was naughty and took out the box secretly once. There was indeed a book hidden in it, and it seemed to be very old. The pages were all yellowed, but I couldn't understand the things drawn on it at all. Later, my master came back and caught me. He gave me a good beating and even told me that if I dared to peek at the book in the box again, he would break my legs."
My words were completely adding fuel to the fire of the man in black.
Judging from the emotions he expressed, he must be very concerned about the so-called River Map and Luo Shu, and even determined to get it.
What I said made him more certain of the preciousness of the book in the box, and made him more convinced that the thing in the box was the River Map and Luo Shu.
Sure enough, as I finished speaking, his hesitant expression actually relaxed a little, and he whispered to me: "Do you remember what was drawn on it?"
"I don't remember." I shook my head and said, "It's been too long, and the things drawn on it are like ghost paintings. I can't even understand them, let alone remember them."
The man in black laughed and said, "The River Chart and Luoshu are known as the magic cube of the universe. They are the source of Chinese civilization and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Are the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, Maoshan Taoism, Southern Kunlun and Northern Chu Ma powerful? Oh, they are not. They only learned a little bit from the River Map and Luoshu. They didn't learn the real essence at all. But even so, it is enough to dominate the Central Plains."
At this point, the man in black sneered again: "Such a profound and complicated thing, the founders of these sects only had a superficial understanding of it, and they only understood a little bit of it, which was enough to establish a sect. If you can understand it, you'll be amazing." "Is
this thing so awesome?" I was secretly surprised, thinking that it was no wonder that the man in black wanted to get it. This thing can be said to be the source and origin of the world's magic and Taoism. Whoever gets it is equivalent to getting the skills and inheritance of all the schools in the world. If he is lucky enough to understand something new, wouldn't he be invincible?
However, I seriously doubt that what the man in black said is unreliable, because if the things recorded in the River Chart and Luoshu are really so heaven-defying, then why does my master still want to stay in this small mountain village?
How could my master's two brothers die in two places with bad feng shui?
The man in black seemed to see my doubts, and sneered, saying, "From ancient times to now, there are only a few people who can comprehend the superficial aspects of the River Chart and the Luoshu, and no one has been able to comprehend the essence. Although all of you in the lineage of the Walking Yin people are extremely talented and have special fates, no matter how special you are, can you be as special as those ancestors who founded the sect? Therefore, this thing is a waste of heaven in the hands of you Walking Yin people."
"..." I was speechless when I heard this, and then asked, "You mean... you are more powerful than those ancestors who founded the sect, and you can understand it?"
The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and then his face suddenly darkened.
After seeing this scene, my heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself, oh my god, this sentence of mine... seems to have touched the black-clothed man's head.
This is embarrassing!
