On the Importance of Chinese Characters

Even though he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to find the ancestor he needed so smoothly, Su Yu was still lost for a moment.

Zhuang Yunzhou said to Ning Changhe: "Please trouble the patriarch to take us to another one."

Patriarch Wanshu nodded, and continued walking along the circle of steps until he reached the mountainside before stopping.There is a small grid there, besides a Sunshine Stone, there is also a crystal bottle, and a bright light is suspended in the center of the bottle

Zhuang Yunzhou picked up the crystal bottle, looked at it for a while, then stretched out his hand naturally, and unscrewed the bottle while Ning Changhe couldn't stop his exclamation.

"...! Can't fight... Uh, it's okay, you can do whatever you want."

Ning Changhe stretched out half of his blocking hand, and saw Zuyuan floating in the crystal bottle obediently landed on Zhuang Yunzhou's palm, showing no intention of running away.

This time the source material was actually a rare light.Zhuang Yunzhou was really surprised to hold the small light cluster, and it took him a long time to identify the source pattern formed by the light.

The character 'Guang' in oracle bone inscriptions looks like a person holding a torch aloft, meaning bright.

Zhuang Yunzhou put it in the palm of his hand, the sacred mountain in the void trembled slightly, and the same word 'light' slowly appeared on the mountain wall. He opened his palm, and he put the ancestor who had lost the Cangshi spirit body fragments back into the crystal bottle, Turning around and shaking his head: "No."

Su Yu was silent for a while, then nodded silently.

Seeing the loss of the eldest son, Ning Changhe moved his mind, and said, "It's rare for the eldest son to come to Lucheng once, so it's better to go to the sixth peak. On the sixth peak is the peak of the shops in my Yuanshan Mansion. There are many ancient shops. It is an excellent place for treasure hunting and leak detection.”

Speaking of this, Patriarch Wanshu smiled slightly: "Of course, whether you buy a treasure or a waste will test your eyesight and knowledge."

Isn't this the 'Panjiayuan' of Tianze Realm?Zhuang Yunzhou thought to himself, and at the same time became a little interested.

You Su Yu also didn't want to miss the other scenery of life in order to find a cure, so he nodded happily.

Before leaving, Zhuang Yunzhou did not forget his goal, and asked, "Patriarch Ning, can the historical materials of Fifth Peak be borrowed?"

Ning Changhe looked at the attention stones with different leaf shapes in the small grid, and his eyes were tolerant: "Does this young master know what these attention stones are?"

Zhuang Yunzhou shook his head puzzled.

"It's the remains of the sages of my Wanshu tribe." Ning Changhe said, "Every stone of attention here hides the history that my Wanshu ancestors have remembered all their lives."

He gently moved the leaves on his head, and the lights and shadows flickered, showing everyone the faint lines of spiritual consciousness that emerged on those leaves: "We will record the history on our bodies. Wan Shuren will come here before he dies, He carved out a resting place on the mountain with his own hands, and then turned his body into a mind stone, condensing his life and achieving immortality."

"Here," he spread his arms, as if lifting a huge mountain, "is the ancestral tomb of my family."

Zhuang Yunzhou took a breath, and looked at those small grids in an instant, and looked at Ning Changhe with deep respect.Wan Shuren pursues history and truth all his life, and from birth to death, all of them interpret what is called "seeking truth".

Ning Changhe smiled: "However, although it is not a loan, you can freely enter and exit here."

He motioned Zhuang Yunzhou to look at the people of the Tian clan standing on the steps: "As long as you have the access stone of our clan, as long as you don't try to take out the stone of attention, you can come and go here freely. You are the eldest son's friend, so you are naturally qualified Obtain the access stone of my clan."

Zhuang Yunzhou was overjoyed at the transfer of the peak circuit this time, and immediately bowed: "Thank you, Patriarch Ning."

Ning Changhe waved his hand to signal no, the Wanshu Clan never rejects those who have the desire to seek truth.Regardless of status, status, poverty, or wealth, as long as they sincerely seek knowledge, the Wanshu Clan will open the door generously.

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhuang Yunzhou followed the crowd and left the Fifth Peak contentedly.

??

If the fifth peak in Lucheng is quiet, then the sixth peak is full of lively and lively atmosphere.

Whether it is the shops on both sides of the road or the stalls placed in the open air on the side of the road, they are filled with all kinds of ancient things for people to take a look at.

Ancient fragments of jade slips, all kinds of weapons, utensils with unknown uses, jewelry and clothing in the shape of ancient times... People squatted or stood carefully to examine the utensils in front of them, or reached out to tap gently to listen to the sound. , or use the power of the source to test... Each of them showed their abilities to find the leftover pearl in the sea.

The voices of guests and hosts haggling over prices can be heard endlessly.

Su Yu has no interest in the things sold in these shops. As a result, there are too many antiques and treasures at home, so he doesn't like almost all the things present.Compared with the items themselves, he is more interested in the scenes of people buying and selling, and he walks around the field curiously.

Ning Changhe saw his thoughts at a glance, and said: "There is a gambling area in front. People can choose the treasures they fancy in it, send them to the treasure appraisal platform, and the appraiser will directly announce the results. Anyone can watch it. , is the most interesting place on the sixth peak.”

"Interesting!" You Su Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said repeatedly, "Let's go and have a look."

Ning Changhe smiled and led the way.

The treasure gambling area is on the upper mountainside of the sixth peak. There is a tall gatehouse at the entrance, and a large "gambling" character is written on the plaque made of attention stone with the pattern of spiritual consciousness.

The eldest son couldn't wait to walk in. There were two high platforms at the entrance. There was a table on the platform. Behind each table was an old man with green and yellow leaves on his head. Did someone hold him When the fancy things come to the stage, at this time, people around the platform waiting to watch the fun will quickly gather, waiting for the appraisal of the old man Wanshu.

The atmosphere is lively and intense.

When Zhuang Yunzhou and his party arrived, there happened to be a young man from the Spirit Race who was gambling, standing at the table of the old man Wanshu, nervously waiting for the answer.

The old man squinted his eyes, carefully turned the ancient jade slip in his hand, and checked the miscellaneous patterns on it.Not long after, he put down the jade slip, raised his head and asked the young man, "How much did you pay for it?"

The young man replied with a little arrogance: "Thirty thousand source crystals."

Someone in the audience gave a small exclamation for his big handwriting, and the young man's eyes flashed a look of complacency: "This piece of jade is made of Mengyang jade produced in Yuxi in the east. Mengyang jade has long been It was mined 1 years ago, and the existing objects are all old objects. Looking at the jade slips, they are ornaments made of jade bamboo silk and other high-quality items. It can be seen that they are precious objects, and they are carved into The appearance of the Nine-Winged Luan Beast is exactly the style popular among the Spirit Race 1 years ago. I conclude that this must be the Jade Slip of a certain great skill of the Spirit Race from ten thousand years ago."

The old man Wanshu glanced at him and nodded slowly: "You are right."

Seeing that the appraiser agreed with his opinion, the young man was overjoyed, and his eyes became even more colorful: "So, I won the bet this time?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say that."

The smile on the young man's face froze on the spot, and the old man Wanshu pushed the jade slip back to him: "This is indeed something from 1 years ago, and it is indeed something that only people with high status can hold, but it is not What kind of skill jade slip."

"You only know that this shape is a nine-winged Luan beast, but you don't know that the nine-winged Luan beast is divided into Zuo Luan beast and You Luan beast. The right Luan beast jade slips have always recorded exercises and cheats, but the Zuo Luan beast jade slips are from a wealthy family in ancient times. It is a tool for the head of the family to favor his family and confirm the lineage of his descendants."

"The head of the nine-winged Luan beast on your jade slip is tilted to the left. It is a Zuo Luan beast. If you find the offspring of the owner of this jade slip, you may be able to sell it for a higher price. If you can't find it, the owner may simply die. Well, this jade slip is also worth some money from Mengyang Jade itself. But no matter what it is, the [-] source crystals are all lost."

The old man Wan Shu's words made the young man's face turn blue and red, and he stretched out his hand to grab the jade slip on the table, and angrily stepped off the stage.

This gamble came to an end. Zhuang Yunzhou and his party were really interesting watching from below. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd, and everyone looked curiously at the place that was surrounded by groups at that moment.

"...Don't leave! You two must pay me the [-] source crystals today, otherwise, I want you to come in vertically and go out lying down!"

"Why are you so unreasonable! When you bought this thing, we had persuaded you that there might be a problem, but you didn't listen to it yourself. Now that you've lost the bet, you're blaming us again. What's the point?!"

"Since you are the treasure gamblers I invited, during the period I employ you, you will be responsible for the winning or losing of my gambling! So what if I want to buy it, won't you stop me? If your reasons are strong enough, I will How can you insist on buying it? Anyway, lose money!"

This statement of "Although it was my fault, but you did not stop me, you have to be responsible" successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Fang Qiling raised his eyebrows in surprise: "There are such shameless people in this world?"

Zhuang Yunzhou showed some doubts, he always felt that the voice of the unlucky treasure gambler who spoke was somewhat familiar.

When Ning Changhe heard this, his face immediately sank, and he nimbly slipped through the gap in the crowd to the front, and the others naturally followed.

After everyone pushed aside the crowd, Zhuang Yunzhou saw the two parties arguing, suddenly showed a dazed expression on his face, and called out: "Calm down, be silent?"

The two brothers who suddenly heard their names turned their heads, and when they saw Zhuang Yunzhou, they showed surprise expressions: "Mr. Zhuang?!"

Fang Qiling had no memory of the two brothers who had been rescued when the blood mist erupted in the vast sea, so he leaned over and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhuang Yunzhou whispered back to him: "Not only that, you also know him."

Fang Qiling was stunned for a moment.

"—When you came out of the blood pool and you were still Mu Yun, the Phantom Eye clan brothers you rescued from Xiong Manzi. They and another Mu clan rescued you, who was seriously injured, and sent them to Xinglin City."

Fang Qiling immediately understood what he said so briefly.He raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly: "Since he is a lifesaver, we can't ignore it."

He stepped out.
