The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Shen Fan had a delicate expression.

He secretly studied the entire room before, and of course he also focused on the stone embedded in the table, but no matter how he pushed, pulled, or twisted it, the stone just wouldn't move.He didn't dare to use force, for fear of breaking things and exposing what he had done, so he finally had to give up regretfully.

I thought they hid things in such a secret place, but now it seems that it was simply because he didn't use enough strength?

If I knew it earlier, I would have looked around.

The high priest said very little. He opened the table and stepped aside, looking at Shen Lianxing silently.

Her expression is not clear, she has only one pair of eyes, the color is very light, and she has no emotion when staring at people, making it difficult for people to guess her true inner thoughts.

Shen Lianxing moved, and realized that this man saw himself from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

——It seemed like this in the past. When Shen Yuansi brought Shen Lianxing, who was still a child, to see her, the high priest often looked at Shen Lianxing with such eyes.

As if looking at an object.

Children are sensitive, and Shen Lianxing has been smart since he was a child.Although not making trouble, it is also obvious that he doesn't like her.After a few times, Shen Yuansi saw that he was not happy, so he would not take him with him when he visited the high priest again.

Since then, Shen Lianxing hasn't been to the astrology building much.

He let out a sigh of relief, ignored the high priest's gaze, and stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper.

The paper was very thin, only one piece of paper, with a few lines written on it briefly. Shen Yuansi's handwriting was sharp and thin, without any hesitation in his brushwork. It should have been written by him when he was not sick. print.

Shen Lianxing: "..."

He turned upside down in silence to read the words on the paper several times, then turned it over to look at the back, and looked for the groove in the table.

Yan Jinping: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

There is no window in this room, but it is right behind the clock that tells the time in the astrology building, and the sunlight penetrates through the gap of the mechanism, so the room is not dark.

Shen Lianxing glanced at Yan Jinping with a strange expression, opened his mouth, but didn't speak, just held the piece of paper with two fingers, hung it in front of his eyes, and studied it against the light.

Didn't see anything else.

His behavior was obviously not right, Yan Jinping frowned, took a step forward, and asked again: "What's the matter?"

Shen Fan was also scratching his heart out of curiosity, and stretched out his head to look: "Lian Xing, what is written on that paper?"

"...Flying magpie."

Shen Lianxing put down the paper, and concluded simply and clearly: "Shen Yuansi asked me to make a magpie."

"Make a magpie and go to Tianding Mountain."

Yan Jinping: "..."

He never thought that he would hear the name of Tianding Mountain in this place.

Shen Fan: "Really?"

When he heard the news, he couldn't believe it. Whether it was the Feimagpie or the Tianding Mountain, they were things that only appeared in legends.If this is the test Shen Yuansi prepared for him, then it's no wonder Shen Lianxing reacted like this.

Shen Lianxing also hoped that it was fake.He turned his head to look at Shen Fan, and asked him: "Do you think the Patriarch doesn't like me very much?"

Shen Fan asked subconsciously: "You are his grandson, he doesn't like who do you like?"

If Shen Yuansi didn't like Shen Lianxing, then why bother to protect him all the time and pass on the title of Patriarch to him.

Shen Lianxing said again: "Could it be that you have come here long ago and changed the content on this paper?"

"That's even more impossible."

Shen Fan smiled wryly: "The sacrificial ceremony will only happen once every few years, and it will only be held when there is a major event in the city. I have only been here a few times, and it is even less likely for others to find this place, so there is no chance to change it."

He didn't bother to deny that he had done this anymore, anyway, he couldn't hide it from Shen Lianxing, and there was no need to try his best to get close to him.

About Shen Lianxing's arm... Although he wasn't the mastermind, he knew about it.

Those who planned, those who turned a blind eye, and those who knew about it, were all accomplices. Now that things were going on, it didn't make much sense to maintain a superficial peace with Shen Lianxing.

Having figured this out, when Shen Fan faced Shen Lianxing again, his attitude was much more relaxed.

In any case, this test is too difficult. Shen Fan was secretly jealous of Shen Lianxing's talent before, but now he can only rejoice that he is not the heir chosen by the patriarch, and does not need to complete the task assigned by Shen Yuansi.

What do magpies do?That thing was lost thousands of years ago, and this is simply not something that humans can accomplish.

Shen Lianxing went to see the high priest again.

The high priest is as immobile as a mountain. She should have known the content of the test a long time ago. It is not surprising that Shen Lianxing reacted like this at all.He only closed the table again, and said in a low voice: "There is a spring on Tianding Mountain, flowing with rootless wine...Take a magpie and bring it back, and we will recognize you as the heir."

Shen Lianxing had a complicated expression, and asked her, "Even if I did it, how can you be sure that it's Jiuquan's wine?"

"We have our own way, you just have to do it." The high priest's voice almost sighed, "Shen Yuansi should have told you where Tianding Mountain is."

……Um?

Hearing this, Yan Jinping raised half of his eyebrows and turned to look at Shen Lianxing.

Shen Lianxing smiled reassuringly at him in time, then turned around and asked the high priest, "What about the time limit?"

"One year." The high priest said, "If you can't do it, you can give up now."

A year, for this goal, is almost the same as nothing.

But Shen Lianxing only thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"...All right." He said softly, "I'll try."

Of course he knew Tianding Mountain, he and Yan Jinping knew more about this place than Shen Yuansi who put forward this test.

rootless fountain

... The Jiuquan on the mountain can make the gods drunk.

It was such a coincidence that what Shen Yuansi asked him to take happened to be the last material that Yan Jinping needed to reshape his heart.

Now you have to accept it or not.

Several people bid farewell to the high priest and left the astrology building in silence.

The things were brought out by Shen Fan watching Shen Lianxing. Now that he knew what Shen Yuansi's test was, there was no need to follow Shen Lianxing.

That is something that the world's skilled craftsmen have exhausted for many generations. Of course, the Shen family will not provide any help to Shen Lianxing. Shen Lianxing is a semi-disabled man without an arm. 'Thugs', it is absolutely impossible for them to rely on the power of two people to make a magpie that only exists in legends.

The high priest will not favor anyone. With her testimony, if Shen Lianxing fails to complete the test, he will naturally not be the head of the family.

At that time... there will be more things to do.

Shen Fan was relieved on the spot, put on the posture of a good brother, lightly told Shen Lianxing to pay attention to safety and other nonsense, then returned to Shen's house leisurely with his hands behind his back.

After Yan Jinping went out, he leaned against a pipe at the base of the wall of the Astrology Building and folded his arms: "Are you going to talk about it here, or go back to Linlang Pavilion?"

Even he didn't know how to get to that so-called 'Tianding Mountain'. He was secretly worrying about where to find the last material and how many ancient books he had to search in Langhuan Pavilion. Why did he follow Shen Lianxing back home? Where do you hear the name of Zenith Mountain?

And Shen Yuansi actually told him.

It's not that Yan Jinping doubted Shen Lianxing, but after all, it's such a big matter that he didn't know about it until now, so it's a bit unhappy.

"At first, I just thought it wasn't time to mention it. After all, we had a lot of things to do at that time, and we thought too much, which only increased our worries." Shen Lianxing knew what he was thinking, sighed, took a step forward, and hugged Yan Jinping With a slightly cold hand, "I plan to tell you in the next two days, who knows what happened... Go back and talk, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold."

……

Shen Lianxing had heard of the name Tianding Mountain a long time ago.

It's just that the first time it was Yan Jinping who said it when he mentioned God-making, but the second time he learned about it from elsewhere.

That was a long time ago.

Shen Lianxing once went back to the main house when he got Jianmu's seeds and solved his arm problem.

Although Shen Yuansi was in a bad state at that time, he was still energetic and able to speak, his thinking was very clear, knowing that his time was short, he was busy pouring out all the words he wanted to say to Shen Lianxing.

The old man looked at the astrology tower in the distance, grabbed Shen Lianxing's hand, and told him one thing.

He said, child, you are a descendant of the Shen family, you must keep this in mind, the answers you are looking for are all hidden in the moon at the Moon Chasing Gate.

Shen Lianxing followed his guidance, took off the moon, and took out a book from the organ.

"It's... this one." He took out the book from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jinping.

"What is this?" Yan Jinping leaned on the beauty's couch, took the book and flipped through it.

This seems to be handwritten by someone. The font is very neat and beautiful. The size and spacing of each word are similar, but you can still see some chic meaning from the strokes. Maybe because this book is very important, the author tried his best to restrain his personal style.

"Diary." Shen Lianxing said, "It's from the one who established the Shen family, it should be written by him."

Otherwise, Shen Yuansi would not have hidden it so tightly, and many of the things mentioned in it were secrets of the Shen family, which could not be made up by outsiders, and the Shen family had no reason—nor were they smart enough to make it up.

The ancestor of the Shen family was named Shen Zhi.

It is also famous among ordinary people and is a legendary figure.

The Shen family was established by him, but at the very beginning, they were not connected by blood relationship.

"Shen is just a genius." Shen Lianxing said, "In terms of organ skills."

Yan Jinping: "Same as you?"

It's not because of their close relationship that they favor Shen Lianxing, even if the two have nothing to do with each other, Yan Jinping still has to admit that this guy is a genius that is rare in a century.

Unlike ordinary craftsmen, he will 'create'.

This is the hardest part of the agency journey.

"Different."

Shen Lianxing lowered his head and carefully looked at the book in Yan Jinping's hand. During these days, he never opened it again, mainly because it was unnecessary.

From the first time he read this book, he had already firmly remembered the contents in his heart.

Shen Yuansi is right, someone must remember.He is a descendant of the Shen family, no matter what the others are, he should not forget.

The origin of Zhaixing Tower...and what kind of past the Shen family once had.

"The first group of people in the Shen family were not Shen Zhi's heirs, but the talented children he recruited from all over the place... and the orphans he took in." Shen Lianxing knew that Yan Jinping would not be able to finish reading it for a while, so he directly Summarized for him, "At that time, the world was not stable, and there were frequent droughts, floods or earthquakes. Such a child is not difficult to find."

It was not the blood of the relatives that maintained the Shen family back then, but the Shen family.

It was he who built the Shen family bit by bit, and taught the children he adopted the skills of mechanics.

No one knows where Shen just came from, and why he did such a thing, and he didn't say it in his notes, maybe this part of the content is not important to him.

That was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and even if there were traces, it has long since lost its original appearance through layers of narration and the passage of time.

If future generations want to deduce what happened in those years, they can only rely on this little clue.

It's no wonder that the current Shen family has completely forgotten the glory of the past, and they are busy, only seeing that bit of fame and fortune in their eyes.

Human life is very short, not even a hundred years. Glory and fame can only be passed on to future generations. It is more real to get the property in your hands.

——"My name is Shen Zhi. It has been more than three years since the Shen family was built. I don't know how the future generations will develop. However, there are more and more trivial matters, and we need to be organized, so I have this note."

The author says:

Shen Zhi: Hi~

Shen Lianxing: Shen Yuansi has a grudge against me?

Yan Jinping: ...is he really your grandfather?

Shen Fan: Alright, he's done! (weak, pitiful, but not innocent at all.jpg
