Chapter 143: Seeing the old man as before (thanks to the reward for seeing the white hair in the mirror)
The unknown white flowers were carefully adjusted at an angle and carefully placed on the corner of the table.
Push it slightly so that the sunlight falls on the flower just right.
Wei Yuan was just satisfied.
After tidying up the room a little, Wei Yuan sat on the sofa. He took out a pen and paper and slowly sorted out his current thoughts through words. The jade dragon pendant numbered 002 in the museum was placed on his desk. The jade was clear and ancient.
The popular dragon shape during the Warring States Period was an ornament once worn by Qin Shihuang.
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand to fumble for this ancient jade, closed his eyes and meditated.
But no matter before or now, I have never been able to feel my own true spirit.
I had to sigh and give up trying.
I don’t know whether the jade dragon was washed away by the aura of the god when he accompanied the second generation Huai River Water God Yinglong Gengchen, or whether it fell into the hands of the Buddhist Sangha and was transformed by the latter using Buddhist methods. Wei Yuan
My thoughts were slightly stagnant, I suddenly noticed something strange, and I pondered deeply.
Kunlun God will adhere to the ancient principles of gods not interfering with the mortal world, and will not take the initiative to destroy the true spirit above the Jade Dragon.
But Buddhism...
Buddhism is most fond of converting all kinds of legends of gods and ghosts into the protectors of its own system. Various eminent monks have also tried to talk about Vajra protectors, so the true spirit left on the jade dragon pendant is indeed
There is a possibility of being brainwashed by the Buddhist Sangha and practicing distraction.
Wei Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and frowned, presumably feeling instinctive displeasure at this.
This is just a speculation.
It is based on the process that when one comes into contact with a magic weapon that has been worn for a long time in the past, it will absorb the remnants of the true spirit and restore the memory.
And in that life, he did not hesitate to take risks to avenge the First Emperor, and after revenge, he broke the Overlord's Spear and threw the Jade Dragon Pendant into the Huai River like a ritual. It can be seen that the self in that life had great respect for Qin Shihuang. He once served as the First Emperor.
The jade dragon you wear will definitely never leave your body, and it will definitely leave a strong enough true spirit breath in the jade dragon pendant.
But when he came into contact with the Jade Dragon Pei, he only saw the memory of the Jade Spirit itself.
This allows for a simple inference
Something happened to the remnant of the true spirit that belonged to Wei Yuan on the Jade Dragon Pendant.
And if it is related to the fact that the Jade Dragon Pendant was acquired by the Sangha, causing the legend of Wuzhiqi and Gengchen to be replaced by the legend of "The Sangha surrendered to the Jellyfish Queen", the matter will become more clear. The disappearance of the remaining true spirits in that life is related to the Buddhist sect.
It doesn't matter.
It also means that the remnants of Wei Yuan's true spirit after his death in a certain life were directly used by Buddhism.
Either he transformed into a vajra protector, or he transformed into a jade blue to accompany him, becoming one of the legends of the Sangha.
Wei Yuan stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and a trace of anger emerged in his heart, as if his belongings had been stolen, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he was the one who was stolen. What on earth could this be...
Wei Yuan's anger was suppressed by himself, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
It is true that even if you die, you will not be able to live in peace.
Success and Wuzhiqi unlock the achievement "Brothers in Need".
Wei Yuan put away the Jade Dragon Pendant, and did not act recklessly. He regarded his speculation as the truth, but only listed this as one of the possibilities. Whether it was really the case or just his speculation was wrong, he had to wait for further details.
evidence.
Wei Yuan pondered, thinking that although the Jade Dragon Pendant had lost its true spirit, from the remaining pictures in the Overlord's Spear, it could be seen that he himself should have participated in Qin Shi Huang's cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and in the end he broke the spear and threw the jade away.
At the place where Huai River is worshiped, if you go there with the jade dragon pendant, you should be able to get some information.
No matter how bad it is, you can still confirm whether the overflow of your true spirit in that life has anything to do with Buddhism.
But it is very close to where Xiang Jun is.
If the guess is correct, in the previous life I was one of the three thousand people who participated in cutting down the mountain and destroying the temple.
If you go rashly, there is a possibility that the two Xiangshui goddesses will come back for revenge.
Although this possibility is not very high, he has to be on guard. Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and thought that the Huai River and the Xiang River are actually quite close. In ancient times, the Xiang River itself was controlled by the Huaiwu Shui Lord. Maybe he can find a way to send water to Wu.
To support Qi with a force, it doesn't have to be as high as Suicune's last eastward tour, it just needs to be able to protect himself.
Even if something goes wrong by then, it will be enough to protect yourself and avoid most dangers.
As for how to convince Wuzhi Qi, Wei Yuan already had some idea.
Wuzhiqi is a god from the ancient times. For this god of ancient thinking, offering sacrifices in exchange for blessings and a certain degree of strength is a completely reasonable idea and a recognized rule.
It’s just that the process and subject of sacrifice need to change with the times.
There is no need to perform rituals and dances, no need for shamanistic prayers, no need to spend long periods of time on altars and talismans.
There is no longer any need for animals, burning incense and praying, and no need for flesh, blood and wine.
What should be sacrificed to Him is a computer with the highest configuration of modern technology, a game console, a full game collection of Steam icons, a collection of Civilization series, paired with a new flavor of happy water, and an underwater WeChat generator to enjoy never-ending power.
of pleasure.
Wei Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but mutter to himself silently.
This is the legendary Wuzhiqi Happy Altar.
In fact, there is no need for him to mention it. With his previous state of being without Zhiqi, he should have almost discovered that some things cannot be done on the mobile phone, and then he will take the initiative to come to him. When the time comes, he will naturally be able to make his own requests and occupy the space.
A certain degree of initiative.
After Wei Yuan thought about it, he tore out the things he had written in his notebook to organize his thoughts.
With a twist of the palm, the talisman fire rises up and burns the palm.
He is still unable to cast the advanced Taiping Dao spells based on his current Taoist skills, but the low-level spells and supernatural powers can already be used at his fingertips. This is one of the reasons why he hopes to obtain the memory of the true spirits of the past. According to Nujiao, he
Every time he reincarnates into the human world, it is an era of changes in China.
But now the spiritual energy has revived and the demons have spread, which also supports Nvjiao's statement.
He needs strength.
Only in this way can we not let the regrets of the past reappear.
In addition to daily hard work, obtaining the true spirit is also a way to improve your strength.
Being able to obtain past memories, knowledge and some unknown secrets, and even the reason why the spiritual energy is cut off, it must be reincarnated in the human world in troubled times. Wei Yuan does not think that the spiritual energy cut off will not cause changes in the fate of China.
.
In other words, he definitely existed in the era when spiritual energy was cut off.
Perhaps, we should take the initiative to collect or come into contact with some antiquities.
For example, the end of Qin and the beginning of Han, or the chaos of the Three Kingdoms.
Wei Yuan pondered deeply, and a car stopped outside the museum. Immediately, the old Taoist who had been to the museum last time and taught the Five Thunder Rips, and Shen Jifeng, who wore large-frame glasses and had delicate but somewhat slovenly features, came down together.
, knocking on the museum door.
……………………
The old Taoist looked at this museum with a feeling of lingering fear.
But the younger generation here have no choice but to maintain their elders' demeanor and step inside.
Shen Jifeng greeted him familiarly: "Master Wei, I'm here to disturb you again."
Wei Yuan had gotten his cell phone from her twice before, so he was already familiar with her.
The old Taoist smiled, nodded, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, fellow Taoist Wei."
He saw the owner of the museum opposite wearing simple modern clothes, with only a long yellow scarf tied around his right arm. He didn't look like he had the evil spirit he had seen before. On the contrary, it increased the generosity and gentleness of a wise man. For a moment, the old man almost doubted whether the Overlord Gun in his dream that he saw last time was just a coincidence and an illusion.
Moreover, I have checked the information before, and it seems that there is no such thing as Quanzhou in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
He always wondered whether the person in front of him, like himself, had seen the Overlord Spear before.
Therefore, if you have something to think about, you will have something to dream about at night.
Wei Yuan poured two cups of tea for the two of them.
The old Taoist picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then got down to the topic and said: "The Master of the Wei Hall has a senior monk who is reclusive from the world. Do you need to stay here temporarily? I don't know if it would be convenient for us to tell us the identity of the hidden cultivator. Name and identity?”
Wei Yuan thought of what Yu Ji lamented and replied:
"In this matter, we still need to ask that fellow Taoist what he wants."
"It's just that she once lamented that a long time has passed and her old friends are no longer there. Many old friends have also changed their appearance. It only adds to the sadness, so she simply asked me to help with this kind of thing."
The old Taoist was silent. He had practiced so far and was almost a hundred years old.
Through my own experience, I have also helped some Taoists who have been cultivating in the mountains for a long time return to society.
I have seen how lonely they feel when they find that their acquaintances have already died decades after they were born.
I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown, and don't dare to ask anyone.
This kind of small but painful emotion is more likely to appear in practitioners.
He was slightly lost in thought and said with emotion: "...It is indeed true."
The old man followed the previous procedures for settling monks who were escaping from the world, and asked Wei Yuan whether the monk who wanted to live here would pose any danger to the ordinary world, and then asked Wei Yuan to fill out several guarantee forms. As modern technology becomes increasingly advanced, monks integrate into the human world. This is also necessary work after things keep happening.
Wei Yuan had no choice but to sign it all.
The old man had a gentle expression on his face and said, "Next, all I have to do is meet that comrade again."
His voice paused and he smiled again:
"But I think she should still be able to integrate into this era."
Wei Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, I also have a merciless request. Although I have a lot of things here, most of them are fakes, and there are no creations from the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. I don't know if the old Taoist priest Do you know where there are authentic antiquities from the late Qin and early Han dynasties?"
A fondness for antiquities is not an uncommon interest.
The old man pondered for a moment and didn't think of it for a moment, so he said, "Rong Pindao will go back and check."
"I will ask Jiefeng to pass the specific list to fellow Taoist later."
Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much."
Fu gave the old man another cup of tea, and Shen Jifeng beside him asked curiously:
"Master Wei, why are you suddenly interested in things from the late Qin and early Han dynasties?"
Wei Yuan replied: "I just suddenly became interested and wanted to know more about it."
Shen Jifeng suddenly realized and said: "Are you going to add some collections?"
When he wanted to ask again, he heard the sound of footsteps. Shen Jifeng turned around and saw the two people outside the door coming back. His eyes brightened, and he recognized that one of them was the senior who he had helped settle before. She was a girl with an elegant and gentle temperament. .
Next to the girl was another woman in red, with both heroic and feminine temperaments.
The woman carries a box on her back.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "The fellow Taoist who needs help settling in is back."
He stood up and opened the door. The bell on the door rang softly. The old Taoist also turned his head and looked around. He immediately saw the woman walking under the afternoon sun. He saw her red dress swaying like a poppy in full bloom, and saw her heroic facial features. , the black hair is like a waterfall, held up by a hairpin, but it adds to the softness. Walking into the dim sunset, it is like stepping through memory.
For a moment, the old man's thoughts froze, his palms trembled slightly, and the tea cup fell to the ground unconsciously, making a clicking sound, which was very much like the vague jade chime in his memory.
I feel like I'm back to when I was five years old.
As I swept the steps, the setting sun was like blood, and a woman in red clothes, stained by the setting sun, walked up the mountain.
"Little Taoist priest, is your master here?"
……………………
Wow!
The old Taoist stood up suddenly and looked at the woman in disbelief, who had not changed at all compared to what he remembered.
His behavior, which was different from his usual calm and shocked behavior, caused Shen Jifeng to look back in shock. He actually saw that his great uncle felt embarrassed. The white-haired Taoist took the initiative and said: "...Senior, it's you. What...?"
Yu Ji was startled for a moment, looking at the white-haired Taoist who had already taught the Five Thunder Techniques. After recalling it for a while, her expression softened and she said:
"It turns out to be you."
"Time has passed so quickly. I remember you were only five or six years old at that time..."
The woman in red clothes remained the same, stretched out her hand to make gestures, and Yu Ji said:
"At that time, you secretly looked at the gun tip and was aroused by the evil spirit, so you remembered it for a longer time."
"I didn't expect that the little naughty boy back then would actually become a high-level Taoist cultivator."
The old Taoist sighed in a complicated heart and said: "It turns out that you are going to live here today. Xiaodao thought it was some Taoist friend who was a latent cultivator..." His thoughts were stagnant, and he suddenly realized that he would subconsciously regard the person who needed to go through the procedures as... The ordinary monks, thinking that they were ordinary people who had been away from the human world for decades, subconsciously turned to look at the owner of the museum next to him.
I saw him looking gentle as he took the shopping bag from the girl next to him.
Pupils contracted slightly...
It was because of the other party's tone just now that he put the woman in red on an equal footing.
That’s why I had the illusion.,
equality……
He subconsciously thought of that dream again. Suddenly, there was an exciting roaring sound, and the box that left a huge shadow in the old Taoist's memory burst out. The Overlord Spear could not break free of the seal, but at this moment, after regaining a trace of spirituality, it still carried The wooden box rushed towards Wei Yuan, just like the overlord in a dream wielding a gun, but was suppressed by the modern young man with short hair and held in his hand.
The Overlord's Spear roared unwillingly, and the hostility in it was so strong that it could be felt even through the box.
The old Taoist opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
When saying goodbye and leaving, Wei Yuan sent the two Taoists out and finally said:
"...I owe you two a favor for what I have said."
The old Taoist looked at him deeply.
Things from the late Qin and early Han dynasties...
I see.
Then he nodded in agreement and said:
"...Pindao, I understand."

Thank you for looking in the mirror and seeing gray hair. I hope I can finish writing the second update soon...
