Following the direction pointed by the old man's hand, Ye Sheng saw a water tank filled with water in a corner under the eaves.
In fact, this cannot be said to be a water tank. It is more like a tripod made of brass. It is inconspicuous and looks simple and elegant. If the old man had not taken the initiative to mention it, Ye Sheng would not have discovered it. However, it seems to be a
With this feeling, Ye Sheng just took one look at this cauldron and felt that something was wrong with it. Just like some people seem to stand out even in a crowd of people, after Ye Sheng saw this cauldron, he felt that it was not an ordinary thing.
"Where did you get it?" Ye Sheng walked up and touched the cauldron. Strangely, in this season, there was a warm feeling coming from the cauldron.
"Didn't I tell you just now?" The old man rolled his eyes, "This is passed down from my ancestors and has been passed down for many generations. Don't look at me like this. I thought it was a treasure at first, and I specially asked him to
Experts came to see it, but who knows, those bullshit experts couldn't analyze anything. They tried to sell it to others, but they didn't want it. They said it was a fake. Then I saw that it must be too big for a eating bowl and too big for a chamber pot.
It was a little hot, so I took it out and filled it with water. But not to mention, the water I filled it with was still sweeter. Look at me, my body is still so strong after so many years, it must have something to do with this water.
"
"Imitation? Forget it, I'm leaving." Ye Sheng was also a little bored. Although he thought this tripod was a bit extraordinary, he thought about it. How many words could he trust in what this old man said?
, looking at him like that, if it was really worth a few dollars, he would have sold it for wine.
"Don't." The old man grabbed Ye Sheng, "Don't walk so fast. I think you are destined, so I will sell it to you at a cheaper price today."
"You don't even want to give it to me." Ye Sheng turned around and left. He didn't believe there was anything strange about this tripod. If he could find treasures everywhere, he wouldn't be so miserable now.
At this moment, an old voice came from the magic dragon scroll in Ye Sheng's space ring, "You idiot, you don't want anyone to give it to you. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Ye Sheng was startled. He suddenly remembered that this voice was the one who answered the correct command after he scolded your uncle last time. Could it be that there is really some consciousness in the dragon scroll?
?
"Senior, what exactly is that tripod?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Don't ask so many questions," the old voice replied, "You just need to know that that thing is very important to you, and it will be of great help to you in the future."
"A big help?" Ye Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that it will allow me to learn peerless martial arts all at once, just like a star-absorbing gun? Or there is an old man in the cauldron who is about to die and is looking for a successor.
Pass on his martial arts skills?"
Thinking of this, Ye Sheng turned around and smiled at the old man, "Well, old man, I just thought about it and thought that your cauldron is of some use. In this case, I will buy it from you for a hundred yuan.
.For one hundred yuan, you can buy a lot of raw tobacco leaves."
"One hundred yuan?" The old man's eyes widened, "Do you think I'm just trash on the street? Even if I sell scrap copper, it's definitely more than one hundred yuan. Do you think I'm an uneducated old man who's easy to bully?"
Let me tell you, I also had a glorious life back then, and my ancestors once made shoes for the emperor."
"Then how much do you want?" Ye Sheng also felt a little embarrassed. He was really shameless. He still wanted to take advantage of such an old man. "Well, old man, how much do you want?"
"I don't want your money." The old man waved his hand and said, "In this way, you can repair my baby or renovate it." He pointed to the faded painting on the east wall and whether the battery had aged.
The tape recorder said, "Get me the exact same one."
"Ah?" Ye Sheng was startled, but he still nodded, "Okay, you wait for me for a day." Ye Sheng knew that among the small vendors in the south of Tianhua City, there were many good vendors who just refurbished tape recorders.
It would be no problem to make ten. As for that poster, Ye Sheng could definitely find the actor and copy a series of photos of her selling meat.
The next day, Ye Sheng also came up at this time. The old man was still basking in the sun as always. Ye Sheng approached him with a look of ecstasy and took out the brand new enlarged celebrity poster, "Uncle, look...
."
The old man looked at the people in the pictorial, his mouth almost watered, and his eyes narrowed to a slit.
Ye Sheng sized up the situation and sent up several other pictorials, "Look at these again..."
The old man was grinning from ear to ear, "Okay, very good, you are very interesting. What about my tin box?"
The so-called tin box was naturally a tape recorder. Ye Sheng took out the tape recorder and pressed the play button. Suddenly, the astonishing song "Eighteen Touches" came out along with the cheerful melody.
The old man looked extremely happy, nodding his head constantly and beaming with joy.
After a long time, the old man came back to his senses and stared at Ye Sheng, "Young man, you are very good. You can take that cauldron and leave."
Ye Sheng said, "Don't worry about that, look at it again, what is this?"
Several fast food boxes were taken out, including braised pork, pork sausage, hometown tofu, and some special dishes. Ye Sheng shook the two bottles of wine he brought and asked, "What about that, old man, does it smell good?"
"Smells, smells great!" said the old man.
"Okay." Ye Sheng quickly set it up on a wooden table and said, "Uncle, I will have a few drinks with you today. We won't go home until we get drunk!"
"Okay, I haven't had anyone drink with me for a long time, and you are the first one." The old man poured a full glass, raised it and said, "I have lived here all my life, and you are the first one who has an appetite for me.
Come, drink!"
On this day, Ye Sheng started to drink freely. He did not use his powers to force the alcohol out of his body, but tried hard to drink. Ye Sheng's drinking capacity was not very good. As the saying goes, if the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk. Two bottles of wine will be the bottom.
Afterwards, both of them got extremely drunk.
............................
Early the next morning, Ye Sheng woke up, his head still aching. He found that he was sleeping on a mountain ridge, with cliffs in front and deep mountains and forests behind. Beside him, the brass tripod was placed quietly.
On the side.
"What happened last night?" Ye Sheng was a little confused. Did I get drunk last night and come here alone? Where is the old man? Oh no, he couldn't be drunk and fall by himself.
Fell under the cliff?
Ye Sheng actually put his head down to take a look at the cliff.
"Idiot, you are so stupid," an old voice came from the magic dragon scroll, "A pig can guess that the old man yesterday was the cauldron in front of you!"
Ye Sheng was excited, "No? What about this cauldron?"
"Yes!" As if he knew what Ye Sheng was thinking, the old voice said, "You are in luck. The magic dragon scroll contains a big secret. You have just taken a small step. Let me tell you, you
My mission is to find a total of nine tripods and integrate them together. Just now was just the first one."
"Nine tripods? Nine tripods united into one?" Ye Sheng felt more and more dizzy, where was this? His world view was overturned again, "If it wasn't nine tripods united, does that only have something to do with the emperor?
Does this have anything to do with me?"
"You will know when the time comes. I am too lazy to talk to you like a stick. As for the clues about Ding, you will naturally receive the hint when the time comes." The owner of the old voice was very impatient and fell into silence after muttering a few times.
Ye Sheng looked at the tripod beside him and wanted to pick it up.
This almost exhausted him to death. This cauldron seemed to be tens of millions of times heavier than the mountains. He thought that his strength was quite strong, but even after trying to eat milk, the whole cauldron was completely motionless.
!
Ye Sheng was a little embarrassed and looked around. Fortunately, no one was around. He tried a few more times and found that it still failed.
At least this guy is still a bit smart. He sat there and thought for a while, and finally figured out a way. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must also tie the bell. Since the tripod is related to the magic scroll, can you try to use the magic dragon scroll to unlock the tripod?
Put it away?
Just as he said, the magic dragon scroll came out of Ye Sheng's space ring. After sensing the aura of the tripod, it suddenly froze in the void and slowly unfolded the scroll. The picture in the entire scroll was another picture of mountains and rivers.
.
Immediately afterwards, the cauldron also rose into the sky and flew towards the scroll. Soon, it was embedded in the scroll and became a scenery in the painting.
The entire mountain and river map is not static. It can be large or small, overlooking, or a world in a grain of sand. Ye Sheng discovered that this mountain and river map is even surprisingly similar to the real world. In the scroll, the hut he was in yesterday,
The hills are vividly engraved on it, and the tripod is even more clear.
But maybe because of Ye Sheng's strength, and because he only got one tripod so far, all he can see is what he and the old man saw yesterday, and the other scrolls are all gray. If he wants to force a look,
His eyes felt sour, and his consciousness went blank.
"Nine tripods?" Ye Sheng secretly asked, "I don't know what the entire scroll will look like when these nine tripods are gathered together. Is it possible that every time I find a tripod, the scenery inside will be engraved on the scroll, and then
Eventually it all comes together.”
Ye Sheng put away the magic dragon scroll. He felt more and more the magic and mystery of the scroll, but he didn't know if it would actually help his actual combat ability.
