Chapter 1002 Liuli Town
Backing back to the stone arch bridge, Qin Zihao looked at the archway and the loess road in front of him in shock, turned his head to look at the captain, and said, "Formation? Is there a Formation?"
The captain nodded and said, "The entire town is protected by a large formation. Even the innate masters cannot break through this formation. Therefore, the Six Emperors Sutra is placed here."
"So that's it!" Qin Zihao nodded, and understood in his heart, and then asked, "Then how can I get in?"
The captain said: "Now is the time to use those four keys. There are a few grooves on the archway, and you can just put the key in."
Qin Zihao's eyes cast towards the archway. Sure enough, he saw six grooves on the pillars on both sides, but two of them were filled with things, and the remaining four were still empty.
Pressing four wooden keys into the groove, a light flashed from the archway. The captain said immediately: "Okay, go in, someone is here to receive you. I'm back."
Qin Zihao nodded and walked into the archway. Sure enough, this time without any stopping, Qin Zihao successfully stepped into the town.
Not far along the loess road, there was a human atmosphere in front of me. Many men and women saw Qin Zihao coming in and looked at him curiously. Qin Zihao was about to ask about the situation inside. An old man in his sixties with white beard and wearing a robe walked over and smiled at Qin Zihao and said, "You are Mr. Qin, right?"
Qin Zihao bowed, "I am, I don't know what sir is calling me?"
The old man smiled, stroked his white beard and said, "You're welcome, just call me Lao Ke."
"Old Ke!" Qin Zihao still praised his respectfully and asked, "Old Ke, I wonder when I will see the "Six Emperors Sutra"?"
Mr. Ke shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you home first. Let's talk about the "Six Emperors Sutra" tomorrow."
Although Qin Zihao was anxious, he couldn't say much if he was not familiar with the place, so he could only follow Mr. Ke home.
Almost all the town is filled with ancient wooden houses, and the streets are full of loess or stone roads. They look full of classical atmosphere. Walking in it makes Qin Zihao feel a little surprised, as if he has returned to the ancient times in his memory.
Mr. Ke took Qin Zihao for about half an hour, came to a two-story wooden building, led him in, and then started to make a fire and cook.
The cottage is not big, but only Mr. Ke lives alone, which is also spacious. Soon, the food was ready, and it was the vegetables cultivated at the back of the cottage, and with a little bacon, it tasted very good.
The two of them didn't say anything, and they finished their supper silently. After cleaning up, Mr. Ke arranged for Qin Zihao to rest in the bedroom.
At this time, Qin Zihao finally couldn't help it and asked Mr. Ke: "Old Ke, can you tell me about this town and the "Six Emperors Sutra"? I'm in a hurry to save people, so time is tight."
Mr. Ke smiled and called Qin Zihao to sit down, stroked his beard and said, "I understand your worry, but the reason why I didn't tell you what happened here immediately is because you are useless if you are anxious now."
"Ah! Why is it useless? Can't I read the "Six Emperors Sutra"?" Qin Zihao said anxiously.
Mr. Ke shook his head and said, "Since you have obtained four keys and have come here, you will definitely have the chance to see the "Six Emperors Sutra", but how long it will take is not a fixed number."
"This, can't I read the "Six Emperors Sutra" now?" Qin Zihao was a little surprised.
Mr. Ke nodded and said, "Do you know the origin of this town and why the Six Emperors Sutra are stored here?"
Qin Zihao shook his head, not clear about these things at all.
Mr. Ke said, "Then I will tell you now that the name of this town is Liuli Town, which has a history of more than 5,000 years."
"What, it's impossible!" Qin Zihao said with some suspicion, looking outside.rj
Mr. Ke smiled and said, "No need to look at it. Of course, the buildings here will not have a history of five thousand years, only hundreds of years. But the name and history of this town are indeed five thousand years old."
"The reason why the town is called Liuli Town is because it is said that during the Xia Dynasty, the emperor ordered the cast of heavy weapons to sacrifice to heaven and pray for the heaven to last forever. The emperor cast six important weapons of the country, namely, four divine beasts from east, west, south, and two divine beasts from thanking heaven and earth. Finally, six ritual weapons were cast, namely the Gui of the Green Dragon, the Sail of the Vermillion Bird, the Amber of the White Tiger, the Huangwu Huang, the Cong of the Yellow Qi and the Wall of the Cangchi."
"These six ritual vessels became heavy objects to sacrifice the sky. Later, with the extinction of the Xia Dynasty, it flowed into the people. After going through many twists and turns, it was no longer found. According to legend, these Six Lishui Towns were the place where the Xia Emperor used six ritual vessels to sacrifice to the sky. Here, replicas of six ritual vessels were also excavated. The residents here also said that they were descendants of the Xia Dynasty emperors. Therefore, the town became Six Lishui Town."
After listening to Mr. Ke’s story, Qin Zihao blinked in disbelief and asked, “Are these real?”
Mr. Ke smiled and said, "It's true or false. After all, it was already five thousand years ago, and no one can tell now. But one thing is certain that the residents of Liuli Town do have some special abilities, or bloodlines."
"Special?" Qin Zihao said in confusion.
Mr. Ke continued: "After that half of the Six Emperors Sutra was brought back to China, the country immediately organized experts, scholars and practitioners to study it. Finally, it was found that the secret practice method recorded in the Six Emperors Sutra was faintly corresponding to the six ritual instruments that Xia Tianzi sacrificed to heaven. Therefore, the country placed the Six Emperors Sutra in these Six Lishu Towns and let the residents of Six Lishu Town study it."
"Now, it's almost ten years. Although the residents of Liuli Town cannot really break the secret of the "Six Emperors Sutra", perhaps they really have some special bloodlines in their bodies. After some residents studied the "Six Emperors Sutra", they actually studied some practice methods and achievements, which brought considerable benefits to the country. Therefore, the "Six Emperors Sutra" has been stored here for residents of Liuli Town to study."
"It turns out to be like this! I didn't expect that the "Six Emperors Sutra" was related to the six ritual instruments that Xia Tianzi sacrificed to heaven." History and practice, ancient and modern, intertwined in this small town, making Qin Zihao feel some illusion of time and space traveling.
After coming back to his senses, Qin Zihao thought of the question of checking the Six Emperors Sutra and couldn't help but ask: "Old Ke, why did you just say that I might not be able to check the Six Emperors Sutra immediately? Could anyone obstruct me?"
Mr. Ke sighed lightly and said, "You have heard me just now. The residents of Liuli Town claim to be descendants of the Xia Son. In addition, they have made a lot of contributions to studying the Six Emperors Sutra in the past ten years. Therefore, in vaguely, the residents of the town will inevitably develop some arrogant mentality. In their hearts, they are the noble descendants of the Xia Son and the orthodox descendants of the royal family, so they can understand the profound and magical Six Emperors Sutra."
"In the hearts of many locals, they have regarded the Six Emperors Sutra as their own treasure. Therefore, if outsiders want to check or practice, they will instinctively reject and even obstruct."
After hearing what Mr. Ke said, Qin Zihao couldn't help but frown, "The Six Emperors Sutra is something that the country has spent a lot of effort to find. Could it be that the people in the town have taken it for themselves?"
Mr. Ke said: "Of course the country will not! But now the only people who can study and interpret the "Six Emperors Sutra" are the people in this small town, so the government has to make some compromises. Moreover, the people in the small town just think so in their minds and will not do too outrageous things, so the senior management turned a blind eye to this."
Qin Zihao was slightly silent and asked, "Then how can I read the "Six Emperors Sutra"?"
Mr. Ke said, "The Six Emperors Sutra is regarded as a treasure for everyone in the Liuli Town. Even if the locals want to get close to view the Six Emperors Sutra, it is not that easy. Therefore, a group of respected old men in the town jointly formulated a rule, that is, on the first day of every month, the first page of the Six Emperors Sutra will be displayed in public in the center of the town for all residents to watch. Only those who have some understanding of the content of the first page and pass the test can be allowed to continue reading the contents behind the Six Emperors Sutra."
"So that?" Qin Zihao asked, "Will anyone understand and pass the test, see the content behind it, and secretly teach the content to others?"
Ke Laodao: "The reason why the Six Emperors Sutra is magic is not just because of the text recorded above. Instead, the entire secret method is to be understood in combination with the content of the text and the meaning of the writing. Just memorizing the content of the text, you will not be able to understand the content of the Six Emperors Sutra at all, and it is even more impossible to practice the secret method."
"So that's it!" Qin Zihao nodded, and he understood the preliminary situation.
Mr. Ke said: "Two days later, it will be the first day, and the "Six Emperors Sutra" will be publicly displayed again. At that time, you can go to the center of the town to watch it."
"Yes!" Qin Zihao nodded and became expectant in his heart.
Mr. Ke reminded: "I heard that you are very strong and have reached the level of a congenital master, much stronger than the mayor of the strongest martial arts master level in the town. But here, it is best not to use force easily. Because here, what they value most is their understanding of the Six Emperors Sutra. The deeper the understanding and the deeper the understanding, the more respected the people will be. It can be said that the entire Six Li Town now lives around the Six Emperors Sutra. If you want to gain their understanding and win their respect, the best way is to comprehend the Six Emperors Sutra the fastest and most profoundly."
Qin Zihao listened carefully, and finally nodded, saying, "I will do my best."
