Tianwei Chapter 326: Signs (1)
The old Taoist helped Fanran walk to the side, while Wei Qingcang and I stared at Gamu.
At this moment , the large stone emitting a hazy white light suddenly cracked. Strictly speaking, the stone objects on the surface fell off piece by piece. Gradually, the stone chessboard that appeared in the previous scene appeared in front of us.
There were dozens of crisscross lines on the chessboard. When it appeared, I felt something in my palm suddenly tug. I looked down and saw that the round gravel that I had been holding in my hand had broken free from my palm and flew towards the chessboard.
The stone, which was originally half the size of a palm, suddenly shrank rapidly as it approached the chessboard. When it landed on the chessboard, it was only the size of a peanut. The stones in our hands flew away in this way. There were two bangs outside the door. They were the two stones that Wei Qingcang had kept somewhere else. They also flew in on their own and broke into the door.
Only then did I understand that these were not pebbles at all, but chess pieces.
Speaking of which, Liao Xian'er is also a master of acting. When Wei Qingcang asked for the gravel, she acted hesitant and reluctant.
As the ancients said, women's words cannot be trusted, and they are not deceiving me...
When the last chess piece was placed, Gamu suddenly shouted and opened his eyes to throw a punch. In front of him was the Xingluo chessboard. Wei Qingcang had suffered losses before, so he didn't dare to let him be so reckless, and quickly stopped him.
Big brother? Gamu asked in astonishment, then looked around with a puzzled look on his face.
yes……
Wei Qingcang was about to explain to him when a white light suddenly shone brightly on the chessboard. The light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. I covered my eyes and retreated. When I felt the light disappear and opened them again, the room was empty.
The chessboard disappeared out of thin air, and even the rubble that had fallen to the ground was gone.
Wei Qingcang looked at the blank space and opened his mouth, with a little disappointment on his face. But soon, he laughed and patted Gamu on the shoulder, saying: I'm glad you're back!
Brother, what's going on? Everything happened so suddenly that Gamu still hadn't recovered.
It’s a long story, but to put it simply, we were all tricked by Liao. I explained.
Hmm? Gamu was a little confused, but soon he said angrily: Next time I see him, I will beat him to death and not listen to a word he says!
Every failure is a learning experience, and nothing will happen, Wei Qingcang consoled him.
Gamu hummed, then sighed heavily. I heard him muttering in a low voice: full of hope, but in vain...
Wei Qingcang's face was not looking too good. The two brothers had high hopes of returning to the past, and were even willing to give up the promising Tianshi vein. But now, everything has been proven to be a scam, how can they not be disappointed.
He is too cunning and has many schemes. We should be more careful. There seems to be some secrets in the chessboard that have not been solved yet. We must not take it lightly. The old Taoist priest walked over and said.
I glanced at Fanran, who was sitting quietly on the chair, looking pale and very weak, and asked worriedly: Is she okay?
The old Taoist looked at me, shook his head and said: It's nothing, your Taoist power is exhausted, just rest for a while.
Alas... Wei Qingcang suddenly sighed, then bowed to us: I made a joke and implicated you, it's really...
I quickly waved my hands at him and said: "It's nothing, we are all willing, you didn't force us. If there is any fault, it's not all your fault."
Wei Qingcang sighed, bowed to me and said: In that case, you guys take a night's rest first. We will have to settle with that bastard sooner or later.
I knew he was hiding an inexplicable anger and frustration in his heart, so I nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone is back, what else can happen? Even if there is something, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Wei Qingcang and Gamu nodded, then shook their heads and turned to leave.
The two of them took weak steps, and it was obvious that this incident was a big blow to them.
The old Taoist priest followed them and waited until the two brothers left before raising his hand to close the door.
I was just about to walk towards Fanran when I heard him shout: God bless you.
This sound was actually very ordinary, but my heart suddenly started pounding, and that inexplicable feeling of panic came out so suddenly.
What's going on? Is something going to happen? I always feel like I've forgotten something.
I turned around and saw the old Taoist's sharp eyes like an eagle staring at me. I was frightened by his gaze and couldn't help asking: What's wrong? You...
The old Taoist priest took two steps forward and was only half a meter away from me. He stared at me for several seconds and then asked a question that made my scalp tingle.
He asked: How do you know that Fanran has inherited the Five Classics?
Huh? This question made me stunned. Yes, how should I know...
When I recall this, I want to slap myself. When I asked Fanran before, it was completely subconscious and I didn't think about it. It's like you put a bowl of rice in front of someone and ask him if he wants some soup.
Does this need a reason? Does this need to be considered?
Normally, no.
But the inheritor of the Five Classics is not Tang, and Fanran is not a guest, so why do I know that she has inherited the Five Classics?
I don't know, even she herself doesn't know, but you do. The old Taoist priest took another step forward, almost touching my nose: Are you hiding something from me?
No! I immediately responded reflexively: How could I hide it from you? What am I not telling you?
Then how do you know that Fan Ran inherited the Five Classics? Although she had a strange feeling, no one knew it was because of the Five Classics, so how would you know? The old Taoist pressed on, looking like he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
I almost couldn't help but tell the truth, but I really didn't know how to say it, so I had to lie: Because it was the Wudian man who told me. He said that all people who are related to the Five Elements Meridian will inherit the Five Classics.
Then why didn't you tell me? The old Taoist asked again, his eyes flashing with a kind of fanaticism. I doubted that if I didn't answer well, he would immediately tear me, the heir of the Eight Ropes, into eight pieces.
Because you were upset at first, you were a little bothered about inheriting the Five Classics. I was afraid you wouldn't like to hear it, so I didn't say it.
Some people say that if you tell a lie a hundred times, it becomes true.
I even began to believe what I said to the Taoist priest...
So that's how it is... The old Taoist priest hummed, nodded slightly, and said: No wonder you seemed to have expected it.
It seems he believed it. I breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped the cold sweat off my forehead.
The old Taoist didn't ask any more questions, but walked to Fanran's side, felt her pulse, and then said to me: She is fine, but she just received the inheritance, and her Taoist power has been consumed too much, so she needs to rest. If you have nothing to do at night, just stay here and watch over her.
I was a little surprised. I didn't expect him to make such an arrangement. But when I think about it, she is my daughter, and it's nothing for a father and daughter to stay alone in a room at night. Besides, when I was in Yuanling, I didn't know my identity yet, but I was with her day and night.
The old Taoist handed me a few pills to replenish my energy, and told me to take them after midnight. Then he said he was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.
I naturally didn't object, because after he asked so many questions, I always felt uneasy and wanted him to leave quickly.
After the Taoist priest left, I took the pills and walked to Fanran's side and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want some water?"
Fan Ran shook her head slightly. Her face was frighteningly pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead from time to time. I put the pills on the table, found a towel for her to wipe her sweat, and brought a glass of water to sit next to her.
That night, neither of us slept. She sat and I sat.
When I opened my eyes the next day, I found myself lying on the bed without knowing when. I turned around and found that he was gone.
I was so scared that I quickly jumped out of bed and ran out.
I ran into Gamu head-on. He glared at me and said: What are you doing so reckless?
Did you see Fanran? I asked.
She is much more diligent than you, and she went out to practice with the old man early in the morning. But you, hey, listen to me...
Before he could finish his words, I had already run away.
The Heavenly Corpse Vein is very large, as it occupies the entire mountain. There are not many houses here, and even if there are, most of them are ruins. The disaster caused by Liao Xianer before has not yet been completely repaired.
Many disciples of the Tianshi Clan were carrying logs and boulders and walking around, sweating profusely from the work.
I had sharp eyes and saw Wei Qingcang and the old Taoist talking in an open space. Fanran was playing with Jiao Ye and Tiansheng nearby. The three of them chased each other and caused a lot of trouble for the Tianshi Clan disciples who were building houses. But with Wei Qingcang around, no one dared to say anything.
I breathed a sigh of relief, at least everything is alright.
Tianyou, get up. Wei Qingcang greeted me.
Don't talk to him, he's a lazy bastard and he's heavy as hell. Don't let him stay in my room next time or I'll kick him in two!
Wei Qingcang laughed and waved at me. When I got closer, he asked with a smile: "How was your sleep last night?"
Uh... it's OK. I smiled awkwardly. I didn't even know when I was taken to bed. It was really embarrassing. Fortunately, I am a man, otherwise my virginity would have been thrown to Java.
The little guy just said that the sky is getting closer. The old Taoist priest spoke.
Uh, Mr. Jiao?
Um.
The original awkward feeling was swept away, replaced by sadness. The world was changing too fast, like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be stopped.
This matter involves too many things, and we can't control it. Don't think about things that you can't control, it's useless to think about them. But then again...
Before Wei Qingcang finished speaking , the ground suddenly shook again. This time I felt it carefully, the shaking was not coming from the ground, but the whole world was shaking.
The strange phenomenon they had mentioned before came to my mind, and after a closer look, it was indeed the case. Although everything was shaking, no objects had moved.
What on earth is going on…
The vibration didn't last long, it was over in less than half a minute.
A large number of Tianshi Clan disciples looked at each other in surprise, not understanding what was happening.
Wei Qingcang looked a little unhappy and said: It seems to be faster than we imagined. I really don’t understand what happened.
The old Taoist was silent, and I had nothing to say. Although I guessed that my mother wanted to regenerate the world and return it to chaos, no one knew what the process was, how to do it, and what the result would be.
Look, what is that! Suddenly, a disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Vein exclaimed.
I turned around and saw him pointing in another direction. I turned around again and saw a large amount of black gas rising from the southwest. At this time, the sun was at its peak. The black gas filled the sky and gradually covered the golden sunlight.
I suddenly remembered the Eight-threaded Heavenly Scroll that I had read before. One of the sentences was: The fall of heaven is preceded by the elimination of the Tao and the birth of demons.
Could this be a sign...
