Chapter 417: On the Dao VI
The loud laughter on Lundao Rock lasted for a long time before it ended.
After the three drank the last of the aged wine, they prepared to leave.
Many times, words don't need to be said very directly. True friends can understand each other's intentions with a look or a joke.
For Zhulong, this is a rare joy in his long years.
Especially now that he is standing on the remains of his old friend, his mood is even more subtle. In the laughter, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, and the laughter resounded throughout the Falling Dragon Mountains, all the way outside the mountains, and echoed on the plains.
Hearing this, many mortals in the city looked at each other, wondering what happened.
After the heavy topic was finished, the three talked about some light topics.
Jiumie "casually" asked about the past of the Falling Dragon Mountains, and confirmed that Zhulong's friend was indeed a woman.
Lu Heng smiled and inquired about the past of the two.
He and Jiumie were talking back and forth, and Zhulong's face was immediately blackened. He kept saying that they were just close friends, not Taoist companions.
Zhulong's explanation was quite serious, fearing that Lu Heng and Jiumie would misunderstand.
While Zhulong was making a slightly old-fashioned and serious explanation, Lu Heng and Jiumie laughed again on the Discussion Rock.
There was a little bit of mischief in the laughter.
Finally, when Zhulong shouted, "Do you two want to come down and fight? Let's see who's the winner," Lu Heng smiled and changed the subject.
He successfully diverted Zhulong's attention with the last important topic, making him forget everything that had just happened.
Lu Heng said, "As the saying goes, the map came out of the river, the book came out of the Luo River, and the nine tripods of King Yu split the sky... I wonder if my friend knows the existence of the map of the river and the book of the Luo River?"
Lu Heng changed the subject again, and then succeeded easily.
Zhulong immediately dropped the previous topic and frowned, saying: "The River Map and Luoshu... are indeed the ancient artifacts of my Tianhuang Realm."
"This is the divine object played by Emperor Fuxi, with unfathomable divine power."
"It is said that the River Map and Luoshu, like the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu, carry the origin of the world of Tianhuang Realm. And unlike the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu, the River Map and Luoshu record the secret of the Emperor's breakthrough to the supreme realm."
"If you can get the River Map and Luoshu, you may be able to get a glimpse of the realm that the Emperor reached back then. This is a more important artifact than the Nine Cauldrons."
"Fortunately, such a divine object did not fall into the hands of the enemy outside the realm. When the ancient heaven collapsed, the enemy took it away. "The nine tripods of King Yu were found, but the River Map and Luoshu were not found."
"And since then, the River Map and Luoshu have completely disappeared from the world, leaving no trace."
"But when those supreme beings who descended from the sky left, they said that if the River Map and Luoshu appeared, this world of Tianhuang would give birth to a supreme being who was not inferior to Emperor Fuxi."
"At the same time, they left a warning."
Speaking of this, Zhulong paused, and then continued to say the warning: "The Emperor fell, and the Heavenly Lord came to the world. The River Map and Luoshu, the eight wastelands are annihilated..."
The moment this sentence was finished, there was a loud rumble in the sky, and a blood-red lightning streaked across the sky.
The power of destruction and punishment was vast in the world.
Jiumie was startled and glared at Lu Heng beside him, saying, "We are just telling a story, why are you making trouble?"
Lu Heng looked helpless and said, "It has nothing to do with me. This thunderbolt appeared out of thin air..."
Zhu Long looked at the blood-red thunderbolt across the sky, snorted coldly, and said, "This thunderbolt is not the real thunderbolt of the God's Fall, but the restriction of the Thunder Realm to block the world. It is just a false appearance, how can it compare to the heavenly punishment of Lu Heng's friend... Hehe..."
"The warnings left by those supreme beings made these scoundrels who took advantage of others worry day and night. Even talking about this matter may trigger the restrictions they left. It's really ridiculous."
Zhu Long said, "Since then, this group of scoundrels have strictly guarded the River Map and Luoshu, fearing that someone would find this book, learn the supreme magic on it, become the next emperor, and then settle accounts with them."
"Therefore, the proverbs of the River Map and Luoshu and the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu have been passed down with the catastrophe of the mortal world."
"The map comes out of the river, the book comes out of Luo, and the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu split the sky... Ordinary people only think that this is a warning when the mortal catastrophe comes, because every time the mortal catastrophe comes, the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu will reappear in the world and harvest the essence of the creatures in the Tianhuang Realm."
"But only those who really know the ancient secrets know that this proverb is not a warning to the creatures of the Tianhuang Realm, but a proverb that the group of villains outside the realm tell their descendants."
"If the River Map and Luoshu are revealed, there will be a supreme practitioner who is not inferior to the Emperor. At that time, he will hold the River Map and Luoshu in his hands, take back the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu, and re-determine the world. He must destroy the other realms to avenge the blood feud of my Tianhuang Realm for countless years."
The words spoken by Zhulong lightly are inexplicably exciting.
Lu Heng and Jiu Mie looked at each other, and Jiu Mie said, "Old Wolf, you suddenly mentioned the River Map and Luo Shu. Do you know the whereabouts of these two treasures?"
Lu Heng laughed and said, "Yes, I do know their whereabouts."
Zhu Long shook his head after hearing this and said, "Impossible. After the death of Emperor Zun, the River Map and Luo Shu disappeared. There is no trace of its existence in the world. So many top practitioners from ancient times to the present have tried to find it but couldn't find it. It has been confirmed that this thing is completely lost. Don't joke, my friend... uh... do you really know?"
Zhu Long was halfway through his words, and saw Lu Heng's smiling expression and confidence, and was immediately stunned.
He stood up suddenly and asked again in astonishment: "Do you really know?"
Under Zhulong's shocked and unacceptable gaze, Lu Heng smiled and nodded, saying, "I do know."
At this moment, Zhulong was a little confused and a little bit unacceptable.
Is the day of counterattack that he has been waiting for countless years coming?
Is the Heavenly Lord mentioned in the prophecy going to descend on Tianhuang Realm? So soon? So suddenly?
Zhulong felt that he was in a dream.
Looking at Lu Heng in silence, Zhu Long said slowly: "Then my friend, tell me, where is the River Map and Luo Shu?"
Lu Heng shrugged, and did not keep Zhu Long and Jiu Mie in suspense, and said directly: "The River Map and Luo Shu are on the Sanxian Island on the sea."
After speaking, seeing that Zhu Long still did not believe it, Lu Heng added: "This is what the sixteen little monsters of Erba Shenren said before they died. They once worked for Emperor Fuxi and were ordered to seal the River Map and Luo Shu."
"But they died at the hands of evil spirits a few years ago, and the seal of the River Map and Luo Shu was broken. So they urgently asked for help from the Lord of Huotong, and told Lian Shanjing about this, asking Lian Shanjing to retrieve these two sacred objects and not let them fall into the hands of evil spirits."
Next, Lu Heng gave a light-hearted narration, roughly recounting the matter of the sixteen little monsters reporting the news before they died.
After listening to it, Zhu Long frowned more and more, and did not speak for a long time after listening, and sat there in silence.
