Master Liu was not a vague person. He said he wanted to provide me with clues and immediately took action. He took out a map from the drawer and placed it in front of me.
I'm actually quite confused whether Master Liu's drawers are just like those of Miao girls. They are Dingdang Cat's drawers. How come they have everything? But my eyes were attracted by the map. I wanted to know what kind of secret map it was.
But after just one glance, I lost interest in that map. It was just a very ordinary world map. If it had any characteristics, it was that it was spread out a little larger than ordinary maps, and the signs on it were more detailed. It's easier to see clearly.
What does it mean when Master Liu puts a map of the world in front of me
But I still didn't show any anxiety, because I believed that Master Liu would not do anything inexplicable. He has always been a very efficient person.
Sure enough, after slowly laying out the map, Master Liu took out a red pen from the pen holder on the table and began to draw circles one after another on the map.
Soon, he had outlined more than twenty places on a map.
However, the red circles are different. Some are single red circles and some are double red circles.
After finishing the painting, Master Liu stared at it carefully for a long time before he put down the pen with satisfaction, pointed to one of the double red circles and said to me: "This double red circle represents the place where the floating island once appeared. Take a closer look. !”
At a glance, I saw that there were more than a dozen places marked with double red circles on the map, and they were not necessarily in the waters of China. They appeared in the waters of most parts of the world, but they were concentrated in East Asia, especially in East Asia. There will be more of them from China.
I looked at it carefully for a long time, then raised my head and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, there is no pattern in this, except that it appears a lot in China. But why do they exist all over the world? Penglai Island is a legend in our country. "
"Your vision can't be so limited. Maybe we in China call it Penglai Fairy Island, but there are other sayings abroad? You know that at the end of the 16th century, the West began the era of great navigation. If you are interested, you can look for the descendants of pirates, or find Find the descendants of those sailing pioneers and listen to what they have to say and the stories handed down from their ancestors?" Master Liu said to me with a smile.
At this time, I no longer have any resistance to this smile that looks like dried orange peel. I am very used to it.
Master Liu's words made me touch my chin and start thinking. It seemed very interesting. At this moment, I suddenly felt that I didn't have enough time in my life. In fact, I had no time to collect this information.
Master Liu knocked on the table with one hand, and then said: "Our Liu family has had a glorious time since we received the Kunlun inheritance. At that time, the family was not thin, and our ancestors were keen on cultivating resources and could bring Convenient power naturally moves closer to the country. There are also ancestors, like wandering clouds and wild cranes, who try their best to pursue some proof of existence when seeking the truth throughout their lives. You must know that China is the representative of the Eastern Continent. China has Kunlun, but the West also has Asia. Atlantis?"
"You mean...?" At that moment, I swear I was full of curiosity about this world.
"What I mean is very simple. The places where these floating islands have appeared are secret and reliable information obtained by my family's ancestors for generations. In fact, my family has some secret information about many mysterious events. Unfortunately, you also know Shengji And for this reason, the number of people in my family is getting thinner and thinner. Now, the Liu family, which was once glorious in the hidden world, still has two years of existence. I often wonder why this is like this. Could it be that my family Did he go against the original intention of the Kunlun Mission and end up with the family?" Master Liu's tone was a little sad. This was the first time I found that he cared about something other than his daughter.
At the same time, I also feel sad for this Kunlun family. Two years later, Master Liu will 'pass away' at the same time as his daughter, and at that time the demise of this family will be announced.
For a moment, we were silent. Master Liu's eyes were sad at first, and then gradually calmed down. He said: "Well, the rise and fall is not up to people. After all, it is just a flashy dream and the fetters of life! If you don't have the right path, even if there are thousands of things Well, it only adds to the sadness..."
I didn't know how to comment, so I just lowered my head and remained silent. What Master Liu said was a bit negative, but he also told a truth. After death, all the scenery in life is just a dream. In the end, it has nothing to do with me anymore, unless I can escape from reincarnation.
Although there has always been talk of reincarnation as the end point of the spiritual body, in fact, I have never experienced it, and I still have no clue. Who knows whether reincarnation is a return, or a reorganization of the spiritual body? People are insecure after all, including me. I have never believed in the underworld, and I am full of speculation about the specific form of reincarnation.
But now is obviously not the time to think about such a profound question. Master Liu said to me: "In fact, the chance of appearing in the same place is much smaller than the chance of appearing in a new place. The reason why I have marked this for you The red circle just wants you to pay attention to some rules, and this is also a rule without rules."
This hint was already very obvious. I looked up and said, "I understand. Wherever there are a lot of them, it is particularly worthy of my visit. This is a matter of probability, right?"
"That's the truth, but this is only one part of it. The other part is related to some folk legends." Master Liu continued to tap the table with his fingers and said calmly.
And I'm all ears.
"Here, here, here..." Master Liu pointed to several single-layer red circles on the map, and then pointed to another double-layer red circle on the map, and said to me: "This corresponds to here, This corresponds to here..."
After pointing at the map, Master Liu raised his head and said to me: "What I mean is that the probability of appearing in the sea areas corresponding to these rivers is relatively high. Can you tell?"
"What do you mean?" Before I understood what the single layer of red circles meant, I really didn't understand what kind of pattern Master Liu was indicating.
The rivers and sea areas he refers to are too wide, such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Indus River, and the Amazon Basin.
"It's normal if you don't understand. Let's talk about the folklore we just mentioned! This folklore is - the walking dragon!" Master Liu said slowly.
"How is this a legend?" I exclaimed. In fact, I have never seen a walking dragon, but I have seen a snake spirit more than once, especially the snake spirit I saw when I was a child. I can't describe its spirituality.
That time, my master even sealed it himself!
My master will not lie to me. I firmly believe that there is such a thing as a walking dragon.
"Haha, for you and me, of course it's not a legend. The meaning of 'legend' in my mouth is not the meaning of myths and legends, but refers to the fact that among the people, from generation to generation, many people have seen walking dragons, so It has become a saying passed down by word of mouth, that’s what I mean! Of course, folk legends are often added to the story, but the essence of the matter will not change." Master Liu said calmly.
"What is the essence of the matter?" I feel that my reaction today was extremely slow, because I just didn't understand what Master Liu meant.
"Silly boy, the essence of the matter is that a snake turns into a dragon and turns into a dragon, and a dragon turns into a dragon into the sea. Do you understand what I mean?" Master Liu's eyes flashed. This is probably the core part of the secret.
After saying that, he stopped talking and took a leisurely sip of tea, which meant I could understand it myself.
I looked at the map and thought in my mind what Master Liu told me, a dragon turns into a dragon like a sea, a dragon? The dragon of China
Suddenly, I understood it all at once. This idea made me so excited that I couldn't help but slap the table and shouted loudly: "Master Liu, I understand!"
Master Liu smiled, looked at me and said, "I understand, why don't you tell me?"
"Dragon does exist. A national treasure-level genius scientist (Brother Sheng) once revealed to me that there are some specimens in..., but the legend of dragon has never been heard of in history! But that's it, I I have also discussed some historical events with my master. The ones that can exist and be discovered are generally dragons, not dragons. Where have the real dragons gone? Why do they enter the sea? In fact, they have always been there. Why do we see Missing, because there is a place - Kunlun, and according to the clues I got, Kunlun may be a place that overlaps with ours! Dragon... Transform into a dragon, go to Penglai, and then...!" I was excited and incoherent, loudly Speaking of which, I don’t know if Master Liu understood it.
Master Liu nodded and said: "That's what it means! But don't limit your thoughts to the dragon. The dragon is the totem of China, but that doesn't mean that only it can enjoy the true fruit!"
