The moment he saw the secret door, Sun Yixie immediately understood that his father did not want to give him any family law or anything like that, but wanted to pass on some kind of family secret to him.
With this inference, it is not surprising that Sun Yuanwai's behavior and words just now are not surprising.
The secret passage behind the secret door was not long. After a few steps, the father and son arrived at an underground stone room.
Master Sun casually took out the fire folder he had prepared in advance and lit a few oil lamps on the wall. The firelight illuminated the small stone room.
Sun Yixie scanned the surrounding environment with his small eyes that seemed unable to open open, and found that there were only three things in the entire stone room except for a few copper lamp stands embedded in the wall.
A weapon is inserted into an old weapons rack.
A piece of soft armor placed on a stone platform.
A sarcophagus is quite large, occupying nearly a quarter of the space of the stone chamber.
"Yixie." After a moment, Mr. Sun put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who the queen of my Sun family is?"
When Sun Yixie heard this, he rolled his eyes and immediately replied: "My Sun family has lived in Jiangdong for a long time. It has a prominent family background and a long history... Could it be that I am a descendant of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai from the Three Kingdoms period?"
"Hmm... that's right." Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction, "My father has heard about it for a long time. Although Yixie you are illiterate and not well-educated, you are quite knowledgeable... I guess you don't have the talent to recite the Eight-Part Eight Parts, but
There are still some achievements in miscellaneous studies." He paused, and then said, "You are right, my Sun family is the successor of Emperor Wu Lie of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, but it is a pity... because it has been too long, the Sun family has spread.
After going through several ups and downs, our family’s genealogy dating back fifteen generations cannot be traced, so as a father, I don’t know whether our family is considered a direct descendant or a collateral descendant.”
"It's okay. Liu Bei didn't know why back then. Didn't he also take the title of imperial uncle?" Sun Yixie said, "In the future, when I go out, I will say that my little overlord Sun Ce is the direct descendant of my great-great-grandson. How can others prove that I am false?"
Isn’t it possible?”
"Haha..." Mr. Sun was amused by his son, "Okay... In short, our ancestors of the Sun family can be said to be full of talented people. Among them, there are those who have become extremely powerful ministers with their strategies to stabilize the country, and naturally there are also those who have conquered the world with their unparalleled martial arts.
..." He said, pointing to the three things, "And these three are the three 'secret treasures' left by the ancestors to their descendants who want to join the martial arts. I will pass them on to you today.
You will have someone to rely on when you travel around the world in the future."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie's first reaction when he heard this was, "Then the ancestors who studied literature are so picky? Didn't they leave any treasures behind?"
Snapped--
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Sun slapped his son on the head again: "Nonsense, all the 'literary' stuff is in the Four Books and Five Classics. If you are willing to learn it, I will take you to see this?"
"Yes, yes, the child is wrong." Sun Yixie covered his head, "Father, please continue."
Mr. Sun curled his lips and walked to the weapon first: "This object is a rare treasure in the world. It is made of meteorites from outside the sky. It is seven feet and two inches long (made by Zheng, converted into the familiar unit we are about 240 centimeters). It weighs only
20 kilograms (also made by Zheng, slightly heavier than the current 20 kilograms), light, strong, sharp, and tough...the fork tip is as steel as paper, and iron is as sharp as mud, and the fork body is light and flexible, and can be folded endlessly."
Sun Yixie looked at the trident in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice: "Father...why did our ancestors get a precious material like meteorites, but they had to make a trident out? Swords, guns, sticks and swords...anyone is better than this.
Does it work?"
"How do I know? Who am I to ask if it was man-made hundreds of years ago?" Mr. Sun's answer was reasonable. After that, he took two steps and walked to the second treasure. "Let's talk about this again.
The armor is said to be made of unicorn scales and woven with sky silk. It is invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire, as light as satin, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can be expanded or tightened according to the wearer's body shape."
"Oh!" Sun Yixie's eyes widened when he heard this, "Then if I put it on, wouldn't I be invincible?"
Snapped--
As soon as he said this, he was hit on the head again.
"The world is dangerous. Don't think that everything will be fine if you have a treasure armor to protect you. If a real master wants to kill you, even ten treasure armors can't protect you." Mr. Sun reminded sternly.
"Ha...that's all I said..." Sun Yi said with a smile.
Master Sun looked at his son, sighed, then walked to the sarcophagus and signaled with his eyes: "Yixie, please remove the lid of the sarcophagus, be careful not to break the ground."
"Oh, okay." Sun Yixie didn't think much and walked over to push the lid of the sarcophagus.
Unexpectedly... he pushed hard and found that the coffin lid weighed more than a hundred pounds at least. Using his usual measurement standards, it was "a pound" heavy.
If it were Sun Yixie before time travel, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to push it by himself. Fortunately, he is seventeen years old now, and he had practiced martial arts to some extent when he was a child. In these years, he often had to help with manual labor at the fish market.
, he fights a lot, so his current physical fitness is barely enough to push something of this weight.
"Hey, what is this?" Sun Yixie pushed the lid of the sarcophagus aside and saw the contents of the sarcophagus.
Inside, there were neatly stacked pieces of silver-white stone slabs with sharp edges and corners like dominoes. Each one was about the same size as our common tombstones. There were more than twenty pieces filling the entire sarcophagus.
"Reverse the world." Two seconds later, Mr. Sun replied with these four words.
"Huh?" Sun Yixie obviously didn't understand what this meant.
Mr. Sun then explained: "These stone tablets record the martial arts skills practiced by our Sun family's ancestors who have practiced martial arts for generations. Among them, the "Reversal of the Universe" recorded on the first stone tablet is not passed down by our Sun family.
The Superior Internal Skills and Heart Techniques are also the basis of all these unique martial arts, so all the martial arts here are collectively referred to by their name."
"What?" Sun Yixie was excited at the time, "Dad, there is such a powerful thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"Who told you not to study martial arts well when you were a child?" Mr. Sun said, "If you were willing to practice martial arts seriously back then, it wouldn't have taken long. As long as you could persist for a year... I might have brought you here. Who knows?
You have worshiped so many masters, but none of them could persist from the first to the fifteenth grade. If I give these to you, wouldn’t I be doing you a disservice?"
"Then...Dad, why are you willing to pass this on to me now?" Sun Yixie said.
"Of course I'm afraid that you will suffer losses when you go out." Mr. Sun said, "Besides, you are such a big man. You have made the fish market prosperous over the years, which shows that you still have a sense of propriety in your behavior. Now this is the right time for you.
.”
"Well..." Sun Yixie also knew that this was the truth. Parents always love their children. Even if their children fail to live up to expectations, they cannot see them suffer.
After a few seconds of silence, a question that had troubled Sun Yixie for many years suddenly flashed through his mind. He hurriedly asked again: "Eh? By the way, the characters in our family are arranged backwards, is it the same as this?
Is it related to 'Reverse the World'?"
"That's right." Mr. Sun said, "It's the ancestral precept left by the ancestor who created the 'Reverse the Universe' determination. From that generation onwards, our descendants of the Sun family have always arranged their names upside down.
"
"What's the point of that?" Sun Yixie asked again.
"Probably just for fun." Mr. Sun replied casually.
"Ah?" This answer was beyond Sun Yixie's expectation.
"Didn't I say it? It happened hundreds of years ago. What's the use of asking me?" What Mr. Sun said makes sense. Why are many so-called "traditions" passed down, and their original appearance?
The motivation may have been biased long ago or no one knows about it; this is true for things that only last for more than a hundred years, let alone those that last for hundreds or even thousands of years?
Seeing this, Sun Yixie could only give up and asked again: "Then... why did the ancestors write their martial arts on the stone tablets? How inconvenient does this seem?"
Master Sun seemed to have known for a long time that he would ask this question, and he replied without thinking: "Bamboo chips, sheepskin, paper... these things will rot and become moldy over time; if exposed to water or fire, they may be burned directly; and people will be carried away."
It's easy to go wrong..." He paused, "The ancestors were far-sighted and chose these smelted diamond tablets to record the Sun family's secret knowledge. This way, even a thousand years later, it will still be very good.
Keep it."
"Nah HODO~" Sun Yixie nodded in a serious manner, and subconsciously said a Japanese sentence from nowhere.
This was not the first time that Mr. Sun heard his son say this word. He probably knew that it meant "that's how it is", so he didn't care much and continued: "Yi Xie, there are still more than two months until the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Including the time and distance, it is almost time for you to set off in fifty days... Youdao is to sharpen your guns before the battle, and it will be useless if you are not happy. In these fifty days, you should stop caring about the business of the fish market and practice your martial arts well.
If you know more, ask Huang Shi Nephew for advice. I think you two are very compatible... I hope he can help you more to prevent you from being bullied outside the world."
"Ha!" Sun Yi laughed humorously, "Dad, don't worry, I have always been the only one who bullies others. How can anyone bully me? With these three treasures by my side, my child will never bring shame to the Sun family in the world.
"
"If that's true... that would be for the best." Mr. Sun was still a little worried, but he could only think of the good.
