Adventures of a middle-aged uncle

Immediately hope came to my heart, and I quickened my pace to keep up with Uncle Dashan.

Finally, I saw a dazzling light in the long darkness. This is a hall like a football field, and there is a round bead like a night pearl hanging in the middle of the hall, which illuminates the hall as bright as day.And as soon as he entered the hall, he could smell the faint scent that once belonged to Qi Qi and Tian Zheng's house.

The hall is square and square, and there are lifelike paintings on the four walls, as if they were painted just now. From right to left, the top depicts the god Gun stealing the interest soil and being executed by the emperor Yao, Gun died in Yujiao, and Dayu broke the land. Born in the belly, he transformed into a mysterious fish and went down the river. Later, he met Tu Shan's family and fell in love with each other. He married for three days to control the water and left his wife.

After thirteen years of water control, Dayu passed through the house three times but refused to enter. Tu Shan’s wife secretly went to visit Dayu who was controlling the water. In order to repair the flood as soon as possible, Dayu was rushed here in the form of a bear. When Tu Shan saw it, Tu Shan felt ashamed and turned into a husband-watching stone by the river. Dayu finally succeeded in controlling the water. Seeing his wife turned into a boulder, he felt sad. At this time, Emperor Shun saw that he had made great achievements in water control and was humble and polite. , willing to pass the throne to Dayu.

Dayu didn't want to get involved in the government any more. At this time, the boulder made a sound and gave birth to Dayu's son Qi.Dayu saw that he had a successor, so he entrusted his son to Shun. He used all his divine power to cast the Kappa of Wuxing Town, and finally died of exhaustion, turning into jade to accompany his wife day and night.Before he died, he handed over the Kappa of Wuxing Town to five loyal attendants around him, and the attendants scattered.

The murals on the four sides are so majestic that they cannot be painted without the pen of heaven and man. If they are really historic sites, they must be worth thousands of dollars.Looking at the ceiling again, except for the beads suspended in the center that make the room as bright as day, it is a map of the Milky Way, with bright stars, arranged in an orderly manner according to the 28 constellations, and the images of the four directions. I can't understand this constellation map. I feel that my eyes are a little dizzy and heavy after watching for a long time.

There is no decoration in the hall, the simple five-pointed star on the ground, I can probably understand this, it should be the corresponding five elements.But standing in this hall, I just feel that this room is like an art exhibition hall that has been evacuated. I can't see anything mysterious, and I don't know where my so-called mission is.

I turned my head to look at the four people who had been silent since entering the room. Uncle Dashan was staring at the ground, as if he could see a flower blooming from the ground. He Hao looked up at the starry sky map again. Xu Qingze also Looking at the four walls for research, my wife looked back and forth in the middle of the hall.

In order to find out the truth of the matter earlier, I couldn't help but say, "Uncle Dashan, what is this hall for?"

Uncle Dashan shook his head and remained silent, as if he was not going to tell me.

Xu Qingze said at this time: "Uncle Dashan, can I touch the murals here?"

"Yes." Uncle Dashan raised his head and said with a smile. It was because Xu Qingze ate the apples offered to the dead that he won Uncle Dashan's heart so much. , It will not be like now, no one will answer if you ask.

Xu Qingze nodded politely at Uncle Dashan, and then walked towards the wall opposite him. Wherever he went, he gently pressed down on the place where Dayu was in the frame, as if there was something in that place. Same as the switch.The university professor is really unusual, even if he asked me to stay here for a month, I might not be able to see the way. No wonder He Hao wanted to recruit Xu Qingze. It was like having an extra living dictionary with him.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Qingze finished touching the portraits of Dayu on the four walls, all the light in the entire hall suddenly became dark as if being sucked away by the night pearl, and the night pearl lost its light, but some stars in the starry sky appeared to be extraordinarily bright.

Wait, no, these stars originally had their own light, but because the luminous pearl was too dazzling, it paled in comparison and was hidden among the other stars, so ordinary people couldn't see it at all.

Now these stars are just distributed in the four corners of the square sky, and this time I can recognize which constellations these stars are without being told.

In the east is the Canglong Jiaomujiao, in the north is the Xuanwu Doumuxie, in the west is the white tiger Kuimulang, and in the south is the Zhuquejingmuyan.These four constellations are the first of the 28 constellations that are faintly glowing at the moment.Seeing that Xu Qingze was not attracted by the scene in front of him, instead he was muttering words. He was walking strangely on the ground according to the distribution of stars, just like the old man practicing Tai Chi when he got up early every day.

After Xu Qingze finished the arrangement, the five-element diagram on the ground was no longer a simple five-pointed star, but a whirlwind suddenly rose, and after a while, the wind and sand on the ground subsided again. This time I saw it clearly, it was an eight-pointed star, Among them, the corner corresponding to the Canglong in the east, I have seen the graphic, it is the corner of the river map in the information given to us by the Bai family.Didn't expect the whole picture to look like this.I resisted the urge to take pictures with my phone and continued to watch Xu Qingze's next move.

Unexpectedly, before Xu Qingze made the next move, a small three-foot-square platform popped up in the middle of the altar. The platform was made of jade, with four great beasts engraved on the four sides. Green sword.After the sword is activated, the temperature drops immediately.It seems that this sword came from the polar region of ice and snow.

Only then did Uncle Dashan come out from the corner and said to Xu Qingze, "Good boy, you are capable."

I looked at the sword of Hanguang Cece, and although I was a little apprehensive, I still couldn't help but want to hold him in my hand. After all, I am a man, and I dream of owning such a sword.With the sword in hand, beheading disrespectful people is so majestic and chic.This sword has a history of thousands of years, and even the tip of the sword has a cold light. When it meets water, it becomes ice, when it meets fire, it becomes wind, when it meets gold, it becomes steel, when it meets wood, it becomes a forest, and when it meets earth, it becomes a city.

I couldn't restrain myself, and wanted to touch the hilt of the sword in a strange way, to take possession of this rare sword.But I didn't expect that what I held was just air.

"Air" I can't believe it, I grabbed the blade again, it's still air, is this just a phantom

"Silly boy, don't waste your efforts. You are not its owner, so naturally you can't touch the blade. You are just the guardian of the water-avoiding sword, not its real master."

"Oh, then his real master must be a descendant of Dayu."

"No, the water-avoiding sword is an ancient sacred object. It obeys the will of the heavens. People who are not great saints are not allowed to have it. This Dayu is one of the saints. So you don't have to take it to heart. There are very few people who can be born for the heavens, or die for the common people. I have never seen such a simple person. So your mission is to protect this water-avoiding sword from being known to others."

"Even if I know, what can I do? Only a few people who are kind and righteous can get this sword." I felt a little resentful in my heart, thinking that my mission would lead to martyrdom. What's more, the people present today are not only me, but also Xu Qingze, He Hao and my wife. I don't know about Xu Qingze. He Hao and Song Ziyue will definitely not say anything.This is how I guard the sword.

Seeing that my complexion was not very happy, Uncle Dashan still had a smile on his face: "Do you know what it will be in a few days, when the five elements coincide, this water-avoiding sword also has another mission, that is, when the five elements coincide, it will be the Kappa Town's The guarding sword, once the kappa in Wuxing Town are arranged according to the star position, the guarding sword will become a solid body, at this time, you must guard the stone gate and not let anyone in. Once the wooden gate is broken, your life will be destroyed at the same time."

"what."

"I don't understand. I guard this water-avoiding sword from outsiders, and then I guard the wooden door to prevent anyone from entering on the day when the Kappa in Wuxing Town reunite. Where did the guardian of the Kappa in Wuxing Town come from?" Come in, they are fleeing."

Hearing what I said, Song Ziyue couldn't help being happy. I glanced at my wife, and she immediately suppressed her smile and looked at Uncle Dashan seriously.

Uncle Dashan raised half of his eyebrows, his face was full of helplessness in capital letters, he was a little hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "If it weren't for your blood, I really wouldn't think you are the grandson of Sister Guizhi. , It's really a lump of elm, rotten wood, eh... angry, mad... I'm mad."

It turned out that for a long time I was so angry that I forgot that I was guarding the wooden door after the kappa guardians of Wuxing Town entered the magic circle. But for me, I sit in an office all the year round, and I don’t like to exercise. I only have one abdominal muscle on my stomach It's still soft, let alone guarding the door. My current physical condition can't even stay up all night, and I have a headache the next day. , I was sick for ten days and a half and couldn't get out of bed.

This grandma's wisdom was completely ruined in the hands of his grandson, but I still had to ask cheekily: "But how can I guard this wooden door with no armor, and I'm afraid you don't know, Uncle Dashan. The hundred thousand ghosts in Xiangyun Lake are dead."

At this moment, a sudden pain was heard, followed by a crisp "bang".I don't know what hit my feet heavily, so I heard another scream, "Ah."

But I was stunned by the situation in front of me, and I didn't care if something hit my foot.He Hao's hand seemed to be scratched by a sharp knife and was dripping blood.And the water-avoiding sword that was floating on the jade platform disappeared. I just looked down and saw that it was the water-avoiding sword that hurt my foot. He Hao... he touched the real body of the sword.

Whether my eyes were blurred or not, in my astonishment, the Bishui sword flew up again, and threw it straight into He Hao's embrace.

"He Hao, are your hands okay?" I saw my wife Song Ziyue hurried to He Hao and used the toilet paper that came with her to protect He Hao's injured finger.He Hao's face was a little embarrassed. Song Ziyue was standing too close to him, so he quickly stepped back and looked at Xu Qingze.

Xu Qingze's reaction at this time was similar to mine, but he quickly regained his composure and glanced at me with a half-smile.But I felt pain in my feet, and sat down on the ground.

The author has something to say:

Two degrees below zero, to be honest, this is not a cold temperature for me before, now, I just want to get into the quilt and never come out.
