Chapter 5: Sunmen Secret Treasure

The moment he saw the secret door, Sun Yixi immediately understood that his father was not trying to teach him family laws or something, but wanted to pass on some family secrets to him.
With this inference, it is no wonder that Mr. Sun’s behavior and words just now were.
The secret passage behind the secret door was not long. After a few steps, the father and son came to a stone chamber located underground.
Mr. Sun took out the pre-prepared fire notes and lit up a few oil lamps on the wall. The fire illuminated the not-so-large stone chamber.
Sun Yixi used his small eyes that seemed to be unable to open to the open to scan the surrounding environment and found that there were only three things in the entire stone room except for a few copper lamp stands embedded on the wall.
A weapon was inserted into an old weapon rack.
A piece of soft armor is placed on a stone platform.
A sarcophagus is quite large and takes up nearly a quarter of the space in this stone chamber.
"Yixie." After a while, Master Sun held his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who is behind my Sun family?"
When Sun Yixie heard this, his eyes turned and immediately replied: "My Sun family has lived in Jiangdong for many years. It has a prominent family background and a long history... Could it be that he was the descendant of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai during the Three Kingdoms period?"
"Well... it's not bad." Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction, "I have heard of it for a long time. Although you don't know big words and don't know good knowledge, you have not had a short understanding of your knowledge... I think you don't have the talent to read the eight-legged essay, but you still have some achievements in miscellaneous studies." He paused for a moment, and then said, "You are right. My Sun family is the descendant of Emperor Wu Lie of the Eastern Wu. Unfortunately... Because it took too long, the Sun family has grown up and fallen, and has experienced several ups and downs. The genealogy of our family fifteen generations ago was really not found, so I don't know whether our family is a legitimate or a side branch."
"It's okay. Liu Bei didn't understand it back then. Didn't he get the title of emperor uncle?" Sun Yixie said, "When I go out, I will say that I am the direct descendant of the little bully Sun Ce. Can others prove that I am fake?"
"Haha..." Mr. Sun was amused by his son, "Okay... In short, our ancestors of the Sun family have emerged in many talents. Among them, there are those who are the most powerful ministers based on the strategy of stabilizing the country, and naturally there are those who are thriving in the martial arts world with great martial arts..." He said, pointing to those three things, "and these three are the three 'secret treasures' left by the ancestors to the descendants who want to follow the martial arts world. I will pass them all to you today. If you walk in the martial arts world in the future, you will have a reliance."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie's first reaction when she heard this was, "The ancestors who studied literature were so stingy? Didn't they keep any treasures?"
Bang-
Before he finished speaking, Master Sun slapped his son on the head again: "Nonsense, the things in the 'literary' are all in the Four Books and Five Classics. If you are willing to learn it, I will take you to see this?"
"Yes, the child is wrong." Sun Yixie covered her head, "Dad, please continue."
Mr. Sun curled his lips and walked to the weapon first: "This thing is a rare treasure in the world. It is made of a meteorite outside the sky. It is seven feet and two inches long (made, converted into a familiar unit of about 240 cm), and weighs only 20 kilograms (also made, slightly heavier than the current 20 kilograms), light, hard, sharp, tough... The fork tip is like paper, the iron is like mud, and the fork body is light and flexible, and it is constantly folded."
Sun Yixie looked at the trident in front of her and her mouth twitched twice: "Father... why did my ancestors have obtained precious materials such as meteorites, but they insisted on making a trident? Swords, guns, sticks, swords... are all better than this, right?"
"How do I know? The man-made ones hundreds of years ago, who will go?" Mr. Sun's answer was reasonable and well-founded. After that, he moved two steps and walked to the second treasure. "Let's talk about this armor, it is said that it was cast by Kirin scales, woven with silk from heaven, inseparable from swords and guns, and is as light as silk as silk, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can be expanded or tightened according to the wearer's body shape."
"Oh buttocks!" Sun Yixi's eyes widened when he heard this, "Then will I be invincible when I put it on?"
Bang-
As soon as this said, he was beaten down again.
"The world is dangerous. Don't think that everything will be fine if you have armor to protect yourself. A real master wants to kill you, and even ten armors can't protect you." Master Sun reminded him sternly.
"Ha... I'll just say that..." Sun Yixie said awkwardly.
Mr. Sun looked at his son, sighed, and then walked to the sarcophagus and signaled with his eyes: "Yixie, move the lid of the sarcophagus away, be careful not to break the ground."
"Oh, okay." Sun Yixie didn't think much, and walked over and pushed the lid of the sarcophagus.
Unexpectedly... he pushed hard and found that the coffin lid was at least 100 pounds. According to the measurement standards he used, it was so heavy that it was so heavy.
If Sun Yixie had been through time, he might not be able to push himself by himself. Fortunately, he is now seventeen years old and has practiced some martial arts when he was a child. In recent years, he often had to work some physical work in the fish market and fought a lot, so his current physical fitness can barely push things of this weight.
"Wow, what's this?" Sun Yixie pushed the lid of the sarcophagus aside and saw what was in the sarcophagus.
There were neatly stacked inside like dominoes, with clear edges and silver-white slabs. Each one was about the size of a common tombstone, filling the entire sarcophagus, with more than twenty pieces.
"Reversal of the world." Two seconds later, Mr. Sun replied with four words.
"Ha?" Sun Yixie obviously didn't understand what this means.
Mr. Sun immediately explained: "These stone slabs record the martial arts skills practiced by our ancestors who practiced martial arts in the past dynasties. Among them, the "reversal of the mind method" recorded on the first stone slab is the superior internal skills that our Sun family has not passed down from outside, and is also the basis of all these unique martial arts, so they are collectively called all the kung fu here by their name."
"What?" Sun Yixie was excited at the time, "Dad, why didn't you take it out earlier if you have such a powerful thing?"
"Who told you not to learn martial arts well when you were a child?" said Master Sun. "If you were willing to practice martial arts seriously, it wouldn't take too long. As long as you can last for a year... I might have brought you here. Who knew that you have worshipped so many masters, and none of them can last from the first day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day. I will give these to you, wouldn't it harm you?"
"Then... Dad, why are you willing to pass these to me again now?" Sun Yixie said.
"Of course I'm afraid you will suffer a loss when you go out," said Mr. Sun. "Besides, you are such a big person. You have been managing the fish market soaring over the years. It can be seen that you are still very responsible in dealing with people and this is the right time for you."
"Well..." Sun Yixie also knew that this was the truth. Parents always love their children. Even if the children are not successful, they will not be able to see them suffer losses.
After a few seconds of silence, a question that had troubled Sun Yixie for many years suddenly flashed through his mind. He hurriedly asked again: "Hey? By the way, the words in our family are lined upside down. Is it also related to this "reversal world"?"
"That's right." Mr. Sun said, "It's the ancestral teaching left by the ancestor who created the "reverse heart" that has been named by our descendants of the Sun family."
"Is that meaningful?" Sun Yixie asked again.
"It's probably for fun." Mr. Sun answered casually.
"Ah?" This answer was beyond Sun Yixie's expectations.
"Didn't I say it, it's been a matter of hundreds of years, what's the use of asking me?" Mr. Sun said very reasonably. Why did many so-called "traditions" be passed down, as well as their original appearance, and the motivation for their circulation, have long been deviated or unknown; some things that have only been around for more than a hundred years, let alone hundreds or even thousands of years?
Seeing this, Sun Yixie had to give up and asked again: "Then... why did the ancestors write their martial arts on the stone slab? How inconvenient does this look?"
Mr. Sun seemed to have known that he would ask this question for a long time, and replied without thinking: "Bamboo slices, sheepskins, paper... These things will rot and become moldy over time; when they encounter water and fire, they may be burned directly; and if someone recites them, it is easy to deviate..." He paused, "The ancestors were far-sighted and chose these smelted diamond slabs to record the unique skills of the Sun family, so that they can still be preserved even if they are in another thousand years."
"No HODO~" Sun Yixie nodded seriously, and somehow subconsciously sprinkled a sentence of Japanese.
This is not the first time Mr. Sun heard his son say this. He probably knew that this was the meaning of "so that's it", so he didn't care much. Then he said, "Yixie, there are more than two months left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Including the journey, you should almost set off in fifty days... You are the one who sharpens the gun at the end of the battle, and it's not too fast. In these fifty days, you should stop caring about the business of the fish market. Practice martial arts well. If you don't understand, please ask Huang Shiniang for advice. I think you two are very close to you... I hope he can help you more so that you won't be bullied after you leave the world."
"Ha!" Sun Yixi smiled, "Dad, don't worry, I have always been the only one who bullies others, so where is there anyone else bullying me? With these three treasures, the child will never embarrass the Sun family in the world."
