Netherworld Chapter 118 Secret Scroll (3)
But now it seems that this is the most reliable method. Because the old Taoist priests and corpse morticians said that the Eight-thread Bloodline has a unique spirituality.
Grandpa Shi, do you have a knife?
Knife? Grandpa Shi looked at me in confusion: What do you want a knife for?
Uh, cut your finger. Maybe you need blood to open the box.
Grandpa Shi was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter. His laughter made me feel nervous, thinking that I must have guessed wrong.
But if it's not dripping blood, what other way is there to open this box?
Spell?
Didn’t Alibaba also open his cave by saying “Open Sesame”? But if I say “Open Sesame” now, I guess Grandpa Shi will slap me away…
Well, support domestic products.
But among the Chinese spells, I only know eight kinds, such as the Void Protection Spell, the Void Spell, and another spell that I don't know what it does. These are not like lock picking skills...
If my life were a game, I would definitely create a thief character who can pick locks.
Dripping blood is obviously nonsense, so let's try the spell.
I thought about it, the Void Charm directly turned me invisible, so it must have nothing to do with unlocking. The Void Charm might work, but I was afraid that it would be dark when I opened my eyes.
Hmm, the third spell?
I hardened my heart, gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and started chanting a spell.
Good times come after bad times, guarding the universe! Spirit controls the heaven and earth, Tao transforms nature, the eight ropes of heaven, all laws...
I have tried this spell once before, and it gathered green light in my palm. But it dissipated in an instant, and it had no effect at all. Moreover, this spell is too energy-consuming, and I almost fainted after using it once. So until now, I still don't understand the true effect of this spell.
Considering that the green light appeared for too short a time, I placed my palms on the wooden box while chanting the spell.
As soon as the spell was uttered, it felt like something was moving all over my body, and all the things flowed through my blood vessels and meridians and rushed to my right hand that was placed on the wooden box.
When there were only two words left in the incantation, I suddenly felt a huge suction coming from the wooden box. Something was sucked from my body through my palm into the wooden box.
Then, a bright green light appeared, filling up most of the room.
The wooden box on the table scattered a lot of green light, and the side with engraved patterns cracked silently and retreated to both sides.
A flash of blue light appeared in the sky, and I saw a very thin ancient book placed in a wooden box.
The ancient book has a white cover with a few words written on it, some of which look like seal script.
I didn’t understand, so I could only look at the Taoist priest with a questioning look.
The old Taoist first glanced at Grandpa Shi, and seeing that he did not say much, he stood up, took a closer look, and said: Eight Ropes - Zhengtian Scroll.
I glanced at Grandpa Shi, then took the secret scroll out of the wooden box.
The third spell was extremely exhausting, and it made me feel like I was going to collapse. An ancient book seemed weigh a thousand pounds.
The font on the cover was strong and powerful, and it was written by hand. But I suddenly thought that this idea was too naive.
According to the old Taoist, the Eight Secret Scrolls were passed down from two thousand years ago. At that time, they were not written by hand, so maybe a printer was used?
Good times will come after bad times, guard the world, printer, print out paper!
Oh my god, this spell is amazing!
I opened the secret scroll and saw ancient Chinese characters in seal script. I immediately felt dizzy.
Let me show you. I handed the ancient book to the Taoist priest.
This time, the old Taoist didn't hesitate much, stretched out his hand to take it, and glanced at it first. Then, he read it softly: The Secret Volume of the Eight Ropes of Chengtian. There is a heavenly principle, named Qiankun. It is the way of heaven, and it changes naturally, and there are all things. At the beginning of the way, millions of things were born and never disappeared. On the way of the way, there are thousands of laws that are born and thousands of laws that are destroyed.
It is present when born and disappears when it dies. This is the right way to live.
Wait, wait, wait... What are you reading? Tao Te Ching? I interrupted the Taoist's narration.
The old Taoist took his eyes off the ancient book and looked at me. I was not too afraid of his gaze and said: Just find the most important part, the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven... Aren't we here to find this?
Heavenly Emperor? Grandpa Shi said: Qinling Heavenly Emperor?
I nodded and said to Grandpa Shi: There is something related to him, so I came back to find him...
So that's how it is. It seems that your experience is much more complicated than I thought, haha... Grandpa Shi smiled and surprisingly did not show any worry.
I don't know how much he knows about Qinling Tiandi, but judging from his appearance, he should have some knowledge. Even so, he has no objection to my involvement in Tiandi's affairs. I don't know whether the old man is bold because of his skill or ignorant because of his fearlessness.
My words reminded the old Taoist. He flipped through the secret scroll, and after a while, he continued to read: The fall of the sky is in the order of the Tao eliminating the demons. Things are made of ink, covering the sky and blocking the sun. The fall of the immortal is the beginning of the crack in the sky. The appearance of the beast is the beginning of the opening of the earth. The people of great virtue, great wisdom and great kindness in the world should be the ones who mend the sky. The people of great courage, great ability and great knowledge in the world should be the ones who are granted land.
Sanfen is a righteous person and a great man of virtue in the world.
The Five Classics are the right path to life and he is a great sage of the time.
Jiuqiu is a place of upright mountains and rivers, and is a great benefactor of the world.
The Emperor of Heaven wanted to become an immortal and be the most powerful person in the world.
The Great Demon King wants to be invincible in the world and be the greatest hero of the time.
I have inherited the Eight Ropes and should become a great master.
Go up to heaven and down to earth, and transform the body into the Tao. This Tao is the right way of heaven.
I didn't quite understand what he was saying when he heard this ancient language that sounded like classical Chinese.
The old Taoist didn't say he wanted to explain it to me, and continued to recite: "To mend the way of heaven, to seal the way of earth, no one can escape from the six. If anyone violates it, heaven and earth will be turned upside down. My descendants should keep it in mind."
After reading this passage, the old Taoist priest stopped and placed the ancient book on the table.
I looked at the ancient book and then looked at him: Have you finished reading?
The old Taoist nodded: I’ve finished reading.
I was stunned for a moment: What a rip-off! It's just this paragraph, and I came back with so much difficulty just to listen to classical Chinese! And what does it mean? Is there any Mandarin annotation?
What does this mean? I looked at the old Taoist eagerly.
The old Taoist looked at the secret scroll on the table, his face slightly touched: It seems to say that Sanfen, Wudian, Basuo, Jiuqiu, Tiandi, and Mozun, six people, repaired the sky and sealed the earth during the catastrophe of that year, and prevented the disaster. And these six people can't escape? Otherwise, there will be a great event that will turn the world upside down.
Escape? I have the same doubts as Lao Dao about this word.
Why is the word "escape" used in the secret scroll? Were the six people imprisoned?
If he is really imprisoned, my ancestor Basuo is among them. Is he willing to be so cruel to himself? Are others willing to cooperate with him?
The secret scroll left by the Five Elements Meridian said that the Eight Ropes left a message to prevent the Emperor of Heaven from resurrecting.
If we read these two paragraphs together, it is not difficult to understand the intention of the ancestor Ba Suo.
But from this point of view, perhaps the Emperor of Heaven did not disappear voluntarily during the great event of that year.
In fact, I felt it was strange from the very beginning. How could a capable person who intended to kill immortals and become enlightened suddenly disappear?
Now it seems that it is possible that the Emperor of Heaven was knocked unconscious by a brick and then dragged away.
This is outrageous!
And now another important question arises. After seeing the Zhengtian Secret Scroll, do we really want to prevent the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven?
To be honest, it has been two thousand years, which is too long. I am also skeptical about the words of my ancestors. Although I know from the old Taoist that the Eight Ropes can calculate everything in the world, but can they really calculate things two thousand years later?
According to the butterfly effect, any slight change may lead to drastic differences.
During the two thousand years, did anything happen that could have affected the outcome?
What's more, if the Emperor of Heaven was really forced to accept the order, I would always feel sorry for him.
I had to look at the Taoist priest, hoping to get an answer from him .
The old Taoist didn't hesitate and said firmly: Stop them!
This news was so sudden... I couldn't accept it. I looked at the old Taoist priest and asked weakly: Just the two of us...
I looked at Grandpa Shi, and he smiled and took out a handful of watermelon seeds from his pocket: I'm old, and my bones will fall apart if I move around.
I turned back and asked weakly: Just the two of us...
The old Taoist also thought of this problem. He frowned and thought for a long time without saying anything. It was obvious that he had not thought of any good solution.
Although the old Taoist's Five Elements Method is powerful, it is not invincible. The Qinling Emperor's veins have now reappeared in secret. According to Dong Barang, as long as the secret is completely cracked, the whole vein will be used to revive the Emperor.
Although I don’t know what means they will use to resurrect the Emperor of Heaven, one thing is certain: if the Taoist priest and I stand in front of them and say: I will destroy you moons on behalf of all people!
The moon will definitely hit him in the head...
Apart from playing CS, I have never been shot in the head. This opportunity is too rare, it only comes once in a lifetime, so I'd better save it.
We can at the most critical moment...
For example, the time at Mount Everest? This is too risky, and the success rate is not high, because we don't even know how they resurrected the Emperor of Heaven. I shook my head and rejected this proposal.
They want to borrow your jade that can lead to the underworld, said the old Taoist priest.
I suddenly realized that, yes, if the Emperor Vein wanted to borrow the power of the Underworld Jade, they had to use me. And by doing so, I could legitimately participate in their plan.
According to the secret text, the key to the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven lies in the underworld. The Eight-threaded Heavenly Scroll also mentions that the Emperor of Heaven is a powerful person who lives in a fiefdom. This place is likely to refer to the underworld.
Therefore, the power of the Jade Pendant will definitely be used in the most critical place.
Actually, we can reject them...I said.
Of all the methods and treasures that can lead to the netherworld, the Eight Ropes are the best, but not the only one, said the old Taoist priest.
