Chapter 70: Meeting God (I)
After a moment, Ye Xiaozu retracted his gaze. He did not speak for a long time, but held the teacup as if thinking about something. After pondering for a few minutes, he suddenly asked: "Why does Sect Leader Jiang want to see Shen Buhuai ?"
Jiang Xian did not hide it: "It is related to the inheritance of Lan Shanhai, and it is also linked to my life."
"What are you looking for?"
"It's precisely because I don't know what to look for that I want to find the answer from Jian Shen Bu Huai." Jiang Xian paused and said in a deep voice: "I... found a clue, and that clue is related to Jian Shen Bu Huai."
Ye Xiaozu nodded and fell silent again. After a full ten minutes, he raised his head as if he had made up his mind and said solemnly: "Seeing the God is not bad... It can be said to be the core of every inheritance. Originally, I shouldn't show it to you, but... If you agree to my three conditions, I am willing to make an exception."
"Please say."
Ye Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and smiled bitterly: "I have seen a lot in my life, but the only thing I am worried about is my grandson."
"He was spoiled by the Ye family since he was young. He is ignorant, stubborn and has a bad temper. I brought him up personally. He didn't learn any good things, but learned a lot of bad things..." He opened his eyes tiredly and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "In our generation, only people like Mr. Lin and Mr. Dong are left. When they are around, people in this industry can still give them face. What if they are gone? What if I am gone too?"
He twirled his beard lightly, his face full of desolation, but his voice softened unconsciously: "So, the first request: If Sect Leader Jiang wants to explore somewhere next time, please take him with you."
Jiang Xian raised his eyes and looked at the other person deeply. His voice was calm: "The place I'm going to may not be simple."
"Of course it's not easy." Ye Xiaozu seemed to have risked everything when he made this request, and his voice was relaxed: "In the past, people in Lanshanhai died at the age of 25. You are only a few months away from turning 25. You made a move when you should be enjoying your old age, and you also invited Hong Si Niang and the Eight-armed Arhat. The place you are going to must be incredible and extremely dangerous. But... there is no construction without destruction!"
“If Ye Cheng’an doesn’t realize his true intention, the Ye family’s foundation of hundreds of years will be destroyed in his hands!” Ye Xiaozu’s beard was trembling slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: “How can I face my ancestors?!”
The muscles on his face trembled slightly, like a parent who dotes on his child but wants to send him to a military training camp. He continued, "The second unwelcome request: If it is not necessary at the time, please... Sect Leader Jiang must leave a legacy for the Ye family."
Jiang Xian was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
Ye Xiaozu smiled bitterly and said, "I know you are in a difficult situation. Who would be willing to carry such a burden? But... hey..."
His face was completely humiliated today. He picked up the teacup to cover his face and took a big sip.
When my father is one hundred years old, he always thinks of his eighty-year-old son.
Putting down the teacup, he almost dared not look directly into Jiang Xian's eyes. He looked away and said slowly: "Third... after I die... if Master Jiang can make it through the 25-year-old chasm, he will definitely become famous in the entire exploration industry. Ye Chengan will most likely eat this bowl of rice in the future, please... please Master Jiang take care of him."
After saying that, he could no longer sit still. He stood up, walked to Jiang Xian, bowed deeply, and did not get up for a long time.
If it was just an exchange for seeing the gods, he wouldn't have to do this, and it could even be considered an equal exchange. But... Ye Chengan indirectly harmed Ling Xiaozi and Jiang Xian. Jiang Xian was young, but of a very high generation. Ling Xiaozi was also of extraordinary status at the time, and the two of them were already kind and righteous for not coming to him afterwards. To make such a request at this moment is actually too much.
"Why?" Jiang Xian did not help him this time, but asked indifferently.
There are many ways to change your grandson, it's just a matter of time. Why do you have to ask him for help?
Ye Xiaozu raised his head, his old face full of wrinkles. His lips trembled, and he said in an almost inaudible voice, "A week ago... I received a diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer from the hospital."
"I have also been restless this week. I am not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is that the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Ye family will be completely thrown away by that unworthy grandson! I know that Master Jiang is in a difficult situation! But...but these are the only requests I have. If Master Jiang agrees, I will do my best to find what Master Jiang wants!"
silence.
For five minutes, Ye Xiaozu did not stand up. Five minutes later, Jiang Xian said, " I promise you."
"But let me make it clear in advance that if he doesn't listen to me and insists on doing what he wants, I won't guarantee his safety."
Ye Xiaozu let out a long sigh, finally stood up, and nodded, "Of course."
After that, he made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Jiang, please follow me. Some things are not convenient to talk about outside."
Jiang Xian followed Ye Xiaozu into the house, walked through two rooms, and came to the basement. Ye Xiaozu closed the heavy door and turned on the light. Suddenly, Jiang Xian's eyes lit up.
This was a basement, not decorated much. However, there were bookshelves arranged everywhere. If you counted carefully, there were fifteen or sixteen of them. Every bookshelf was filled with books.
"This is..." Jiang Xian took a quick look. These books were all ancient, at least a hundred years old. The pages were all yellowed, and some were badly damaged.
"Sikuquanshu, Daofa chapter." Ye Xiaozu smiled proudly, "Daoism, principles, these things have always been recorded in the Daoist Canon. Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Daoist Canon has not been compiled. The latest version of the Daoist Canon is the Wanli Daoist Canon Continued. However... when my ancestor compiled the Sikuquanshu, he also compiled these things. And this is the complete version of Taoism in the Sikuquanshu! It is the only one in the world!"
Jiang Xian nodded with emotion. A family that has produced great people, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. And Ye Xiaozu brought him in here, obviously to prove his promise to help him find clues at all costs.
I'm afraid that even Old Lin has never been to such an important family place.
"These are all unique works." Ye Xiaozu's hand gently slid across the rows of books, his voice indescribably lonely: "It's a pity... After a hundred years, Ye Chengan will either not be able to keep them, or... he will sell them out for money... Tell me, can I leave with peace of mind?"
Shaking his head, he asked Jiang Xian to sit at the table opposite him, and then he said solemnly: "Mr. Jiang, please look."
He opened the wooden box on the table with great caution. The wooden box was quite old, made of sandalwood, and exuded a strong sandalwood scent. And inside the sandalwood, there was a yellow scroll.
"This is the indestructible sight of God." Ye Xiaozu picked up the scroll and handed it to Jiang Xian solemnly: "It transcends all science, but it is also dependent on science. It... is an inexplicable existence. Stare at it for ten minutes, then close your eyes, and you will see... some indescribable pictures. We call this process 'seeing God'."
Jiang Xian stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly spread out the scroll. The scroll was already yellowed, and it was made of parchment. In the center of the scroll, there was a very strange pattern.
It is difficult to describe it in words. It is just four irregular dots, each of which is made up of some curved lines. With the four dots as the center, a dark frame is pulled out, like the deep universe. And in the center of the frame is a pale eye.
Ye Xiaozu's voice continued: "The process of 'seeing God' is not certain. According to current records, there are a total of 172 people in the world who have 'seen God'."
Jiang Xian didn't look away, which was very strange. After staring at the picture for a minute, he felt a slight pain in his temple, but it was not serious. He asked in a deep voice: "Is 'Seeing God' a worldwide event? Not just in China?"
Ye Xiaozu's voice seemed to become more distant: "Of course... there are a total of 172 people in the world who have 'seen God'. Among those who survived, there are nuns, priests, monks and Taoists. But... the same picture, but some people can see it, and some can't... Only a small number of people can see it..."
The room fell silent. Five minutes later, Jiang Xian's legs suddenly softened and he pressed hard on the tabletop without moving his eyes away from the picture.
Weird... so weird!
I was clearly standing here, but... after watching for five minutes, I actually felt that... the world was twisting!
It was as if... this space was fluctuating, as if it wanted to squeeze itself out!
Seven minutes later, his eyes turned slightly red. He could no longer hear Ye Xiaozu's voice, but instead heard a kind of... violent buzzing sound?
However, this sound was not harsh, nor did it make people irritated. It just made people feel... their souls were slowly rising and leaving their bodies.
ten minutes.
Jiang Xian suddenly closed his eyes. However, the moment he closed his eyes, he saw an unbelievable scene!
When a person sees some bright colors and immediately closes his eyes, these colors will still remain in his vision, which is called retinal remnants. But... as far as he knows, any retinal remnants will not change, just leaving color blocks or object shapes. However... the remnants in his eyes... are completely different!
Clear.
Clear and detailed!
The pattern of four dots and eyes did not change at all. It was reflected in the darkness with incredible clarity. And... and... this darkness turned into bright day in the blink of an eye!
No... there is no sun, only endless sunshine. Jiang Xian could "see" the sky around him, curling up like a pencil drawing, and the trees, flowers and plants began to become extremely abstract. And in the sky, those four points... actually spread out countless golden lines, covering the entire world!
