87 Chapter 9 Section 12
After hearing the old man Ma's words, Wang Changgui and the other two were a little unbelievable, but seeing his calm expression on his face and clear eyes, it was not as if he was lying. For a moment, everyone could not help but feel confused.
Wang Changgui knew that this old man must have some secrets that he had never told, and he was already very dissatisfied with the old man who had seized the treasure. He asked coldly: "Old Ma, how many secrets do you have that are unspeakable? Now it's time to confess, right?"
Old Man Ma's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and nodded, "Well, you guys come into the house with me!"
The three of them followed Old Man Ma to his home again. As soon as they entered the main hall, Old Man Ma said first: "Should you wait for a while, I'll go and take samples for you to show." Then, without waiting for others to answer, they turned around and entered the inner room.
Liu Ping and Xu Yunde looked at each other, but didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Wang Changgui poured himself a cup of tea and sat at the table to drink. Liu Ping couldn't help but think: "This Wang Daxian's concentration is really good! I don't know if it's pretending. Maybe he is more anxious than anyone else."
After a while, Old Man Ma walked out and saw him holding another ancient book in his hand and walked to the table. He handed it to Wang Changgui and said, "Look at what this is!"
After taking the ancient book that had long been yellowed, he saw that there were no handwriting on the book. Wang Changgui turned on the homepage, but saw three big characters written on it - "Zu Yaoke". Although he had guessed in his heart, he could not help but be surprised and looked up at Old Man Ma in confusion.
Liu Ping and Xu Yunde also hurried over and were shocked when they saw the handwriting on the book. Liu Ping asked, "Old Ma, how could this... this Chu Yaoke be here in you? What is the treasure in that cave?"
Old Man Ma shook his head and slowly told the truth about the story hundreds of years ago!
Back then, Lu Tianfan never married a wife in his life, had no children or children, and had never accepted disciples in his family. Seeing that the cubic 100 years later, the cubic 100-year-old was about to be lost, he was very anxious. In addition, the cubic 100-year-old requirement for practitioners was extremely harsh. It was not that people could practice according to books. If they were not practicing properly, they would be backfired. Therefore, he did not dare to pass the book to others at will.
Later, he tried his best to think of a perfect solution. First, he selected several extremely superficial but very easy-to-get-learn methods from the Guanyou subject, recorded them, and passed them to the most trusted servant, the ancestor of Old Man Ma, which ensured that the Guanyou subject would not be lost. After that, he set up the star formation and hid the original book in Yuma Mountain, hoping that there would be people who can attain enlightenment in the future and break the formation to obtain the real Guanyou subject.
Hundreds of years later, the Ma family passed on the remaining book from generation to generation, perhaps for the purpose of continuing the family line, or for some other reason, but no one practiced it. However, when Ma's generation, he could not resist the temptation of Taoism in the book. Fang Yi took it from his father's hand and began to practice secretly. At first, when Fang Yi was practicing, he was also full of joy and thought that he had great supernatural powers. But as time went by, he felt that what he had learned was a trick of fooling people and it was difficult to reach the elegance. Therefore, he became more and more eager for the other advanced methods recorded in the original work. However, his Taoism was not deep, and he could not solve the mystery in the poem, let alone break the star formation.
Later, Old Man Ma gradually became discouraged. He wanted to bring this residual book together, so the inheritance of the Guan Yao Department would be stopped in his generation, but one day, Xu Yunde suddenly came to him to ask about the cave under the mountain. This incident immediately made Old Man Ma feel that the opportunity had come, so he deliberately concealed it and deliberately revealed the book of the Guan Yao Department, but he didn't say a little more about the secrets under the mountain. First, he wanted to see Xu Yunde's ability, and second, he hoped that he could also have his desire to seek treasure, and perhaps he could find other experts to help.
As expected, after a failure, Xu Yunde did not give up, but instead found Wang Changgui and Liu Ping to help. Wang Changgui was indeed a master. He didn't take long to crack the secret in the poem. On the next day, he took Xu and Liu to break the star formation in the treasure cave and obtained the real original Guan Yao.
Old Man Ma made a quick decision and took advantage of the moment when the three of them were most relaxed in their guards, cast a spell to take away the cub Yaoke. Then he hid in the mountains and prepared to wait for the three of them to leave, so he took the cub Yaoke away. Unexpectedly, when he opened the cub Yaoke original book with joy, he found that the book was blank. Apart from the three words on the cover, there was no more character written in the whole book!
After saying this in one breath, Old Man Ma immediately burst into laughter. Liu Ping and the other two saw him laughing sadly, and they were already crying, looking very miserable, and they also felt a little compassion.
Wang Changgui stood up and patted the old man Ma on the shoulder, and said, "Lu Tianfan was willing to spend time setting up a star formation in the Jade Ma Mountain, which is enough to show that this book is definitely not fake! There is no word in this book, I think it may be the third test he left for us!" After that, he picked up the original Chu Yaoke on the table.
After reading a few karmas, he continued: "It is said that this Chu Yao Ke was a strange book passed down by Guiguzi back then. There is only one in the world, and there is no copying. If it were this book, it would have been more than two thousand years. What's more, there was no paper at all in the Spring and Autumn Period, so this book can come from it?"
Xu Yunde said in confusion: "According to what you said, this book cannot be fake, but it seems irrelevant, which is simply contradictory!"
Liu Ping was also suspicious at this time and whispered to herself: "Guiguzi is a strange man from the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, people could only use bamboo slips and cloth to record words. The appearance of paper was originally in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was impossible to create such thick and fine paper."
Wang Changgui nodded and said, "It is indeed impossible for paper to appear in Guiguzi's era, so this is definitely not something left by that period. It is very likely that it was Lu Tianfan... Hahaha..." Wang Changgui actually laughed out loud as he said this.
The other three stared at him in confusion. Why did he laugh halfway through this? Xu Yunde asked carefully: "Wang Daxian, even if this is not really a Jin Yaoke, you can't be like Mr. Ma, right?"
Wang Changgui ignored him and just laughed for a long time before sighing loudly: "Lu Tianfan, Lu Tianfan, you are really a strange man!"
