Urban Hidden Dragon

Wang Han tilted his head with his ears facing Liaocun.

It looked just like when I was a kid holding the signal pole to find the TV signal.

The sound of Lao Zhuang coughing was heard again.

After a coughing fit, he said, "Old Tuozi, there is an old legend circulating in Liao Village. A long, long time ago, there were three ships in this world. Those three ships carried the origin of life as well as the terrifying power of destruction. Each ship could bring life as well as death in a split second.

The three ships came and went without a trace, and few people could see them. Throughout history, countless people had wanted to board that ship to take a glimpse of it. Some people also wanted to board that ship to become the captain or deputy captain, so that they could decide the life and death of many people.

Our village once had one of the three ships moored there. The lookout tower in our village is where that ship once moored. The reason why that ship moored in our village is because our ancestor once boarded that ship and was the deputy captain of that ship!"

The one-armed old man was stunned after hearing this.

Wang Han, who was outside the village, stood up suddenly, muttering, "What the hell? I was wondering where that aura that scared me so much came from. It turns out there's a big boss hiding in this little place of yours!"

Xiang Feng and the others nearby were all bewildered. Xiong Anxin covered his mouth tightly with a panicked look, not knowing why he said what was in his heart.

Wang Han ignored him and continued listening.

Lao Zhuang continued, "Although our ancestor has never appeared since he boarded that ship, it is said that before our ancestor of Liao Village became rich, he grew up eating at hundreds of homes in the village, so every ancestor in the village owes a debt of gratitude to that ancestor.

After that ancestor boarded the ship, he promised to save Liao Village ten times. Every generation of lookouts in Liao Village can try to contact that ship and resolve the crisis for us when Liao Village is in danger. The previous master of Lingyun Temple was injured by our ancestor in a moment of thought. The reason why the master of Lingyun Temple is willing to protect our Liao Village is not because he is afraid of me, but because he is afraid of our ancestor!"

The one-armed old man was a little excited and said, "Lao Zhuang, are you saying that we can contact our ancestors? This? How is this possible?"

Lao Zhuang adjusted his breathing and said, "When I first heard this from the previous generation of lookouts, I didn't believe it either. But there are still many things in this world that we have not come into contact with. Could it be that everything we have not come into contact with is fake?"

The one-armed old man swallowed his saliva and said, "Then...then how did you contact our ancestors?"

Lao Zhuang searched under the bed for a long time and took out a walnut-sized incense burner. "There is a special incense in it. It is said that after the incense is lit, the ancestors will feel it. However, the incense left by the ancestors can only be burned ten times. When I took over, there were only three chances left. Before, the people in Lingyun Temple threatened to massacre the village. I used it once. Now there are only two chances left. Lao Tuozi, you must take this thing. You must use it carefully. You must use it when the survival of Liao Village is at stake. Otherwise, after the chances are used up, the bond between Liao Village and the ancestors will be exhausted, and the ancestors will no longer take care of Liao Village."

The one-armed old man took the small incense burner and felt that this tiny thing was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Lao Zhuang..."

Lao Zhuang was lying on the boat, panting like he was pulling a bellows. "Don't tell this secret to others casually, especially don't let people with ulterior motives know. Someone once wanted to attract the attention of the ancestors and give them great wealth, but it ended up causing the ancestors' dissatisfaction and directly depriving them of two opportunities. You must not make the same mistake.

Also, when choosing the next lookout, you must pay attention to their character. You must choose someone who is good in all aspects of character. Don't be careless."

The one-armed old man clutched the small incense burner in his hand and responded in a deep voice, "Nowadays, young people have gone to the city and learned bad things. It's hard to find someone who is qualified in all aspects."

Lao Zhuang coughed a few times and said, "Don't worry, you still have a long time to live. What's more, the master of Lingyun Temple is willing to protect our village under the pressure of our ancestors, so you still have a long time to find the next generation of lookouts."

The one-armed old man said in a deep voice, "Does the Lookout have anything else to do?"

Lao Zhuang paused, "Yes, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, you have to go to the observation tower and turn the bronze mirror on the observation tower. During the rotation, if you see something shiny in the sky, you must immediately put the bronze mirror flat and face the sky."

"why?"

Lao Zhuang said, "I don't know why, but this is what the lookouts of all generations have done. You can just do this, but this situation has rarely happened since ancient times, so you don't need to be so nervous."

The one-armed old man responded, and Lao Zhuang coughed again, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, oh, Lao Tuozi, there is one more thing, a private matter, when I leave one day, burn all the things I used, if you are willing, you can move here, close to the lookout tower."

Seeing the one-armed old man remained silent, Lao Zhuang continued, "I know you are worried that my unfilial son will come to cause trouble with you. I will explain everything to him, so don't worry. I have already told the master of Lingyun Temple that he will protect the village. I am a little tired, Lao Tuozi, please close the door when you go out."

Seeing Lao Zhuang lingering on, the one-armed old man turned around and walked out the door with sympathy and helplessness.

The other villagers were waiting in the yard.

"What did Laozi and Zhuangzi tell you?" someone asked.

"Nothing, let's all go back."

Someone glanced at Lao Zhuang's door angrily before leaving.

Wang Han outside the village raised his eyebrows.

Before coming here I just thought this place might be a place where I could find the compass of the ship, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

Lao Zhuang just said that there is some kind of incense in Liao Village that can be used to contact their deputy captain ancestor after lighting it.

Wang Han was still frightened by what happened before and was more or less afraid.

The reason for looking for that ship was to check out the place in advance, and to establish a good relationship with the deputy captain of the ship, so as to avoid letting the Black Sky Emperor take the initiative, otherwise I would have no tears to cry.

Xiang Feng saw Wang Han sitting on a stone by the roadside, looking thoughtful.

"Brother Hai, take your brother-in-law with you, let's go together?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Didn't I tell you? My little sister's master has been captured. Go save her master."

Wenren Xuanhai leaned against the car and said, "It's quite dangerous in there, I don't recommend you go!"

Xiang Feng pondered for a moment, then put on an expert demeanor, "I've already shown off my strength, it would be so embarrassing to take it back!"

After saying this, Xiang Feng immediately covered his mouth, wondering why he said what he was thinking.

Wenren Xuanhai held a cigarette in his mouth, "What do you want?"

Xiang Feng licked his lips. He wanted to say that we are all children of the martial arts world and it is my duty to help others when we see injustice. But when he opened his mouth, he said, "What do I want? What else can I want? When others mention Wang Han, they say "Bi Huang", when they mention Luo Changge, they say "Bi Wang", when they mention Xiang Feng, they say "Bi Ren".

Isn’t this all to tell everyone that I can do it too! "
