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, but wanted to pass on some kind of family secret to him.
After this inference, Yuan Wai Sun’s behavior and words just now are not surprising.
The secret passage behind the secret door was not long. After taking 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 this small stone room.
Sun Yixie scanned the surrounding environment with his small eyes that seemed unable to open, and found that except for a few copper lamp stands embedded in the wall, there were only three things in the entire stone room. .
A weapon is inserted into an old weapon rack.
A piece of soft armor placed on a stone platform.
A sarcophagus is quite large, occupying nearly a quarter of the space of this stone chamber.
"Yixie." After a moment, Mr. Sun clasped his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who is the descendant of my Sun family?"
Sun Yixie heard this. , 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 he is a descendant of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai from the Three Kingdoms period?"
"Hmm... Not bad." Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction, "My father has heard about it for a long time. Although Yixie is illiterate and not knowledgeable, you are quite knowledgeable... I guess you don't have the talent to read eight-legged essay, but you still have some achievements in miscellaneous studies. He paused for a moment and then said, "You are right. My Sun family is the successor of Emperor Wu Lie of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Unfortunately... because it has been so long, the Sun family has flourished and experienced several ups and downs. We It’s really impossible to find the family tree that goes back fifteen generations, so as a father, I don’t know whether our family is a direct descendant or a collateral descendant.”
“It’s okay, Liu Bei didn’t know it at the time. Don't you also have the title of imperial uncle?" Sun Yixi said, "When I go out, I will say that I am the direct descendant of the little overlord Sun Ce. How can others prove that I am false?"
" 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 popular 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 have someone to rely on when you travel around the world."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie's first reaction when he heard this was, "What kind of treasures do the ancestors who study literature like that? Didn't you even stay?"
Pa——
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Sun slapped his son on the head again: "Nonsense, all the 'literary' things On the Four Books and Five Classics, if you are willing to learn, I will take you to read this?"
"Yes, I am wrong." Sun Yixie covered his head, "Father, please continue."
Master 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 is only It weighs 20 kilograms (it is also made by Zheng, slightly heavier than the current 20 kilograms), light, strong, sharp, and tough...the fork tip is as transparent as paper, and cuts iron like mud, and the fork body is light and flexible, and can be folded continuously. "
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 get a trident out? Knives, guns and sticks. Any sword...is better than this?"
"How do I know? It was made hundreds of years ago. Who am I to ask?" Mr. Sun's answer was reasonable. Taking advantage of the situation, he took two steps and walked to the second treasure. "Let's talk about this armor. It is said to be made of unicorn scales and woven with heavenly silk. It is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and is as light as satin. It is 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, "Wouldn't I be invincible when I wear it? ”
Pa——
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, and then walked to the sarcophagus and signaled with his eyes: "Yi Xie, please remove the lid of the sarcophagus, be careful not to break it. "Oh, okay." Sun Yixie didn't think much and walked over to push the lid of the sarcophagus.
Unexpectedly... he pushed hard and discovered that the coffin lid weighed more than a hundred kilograms 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 has practiced some martial arts when he was a child, and he has also practiced martial arts in the fish market these years. He often has to do some manual labor and fights frequently, so with his current physical strength, he can barely 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.
There are neatly stacked pieces of silver-white stone slabs with sharp edges and corners like dominoes. Each one is about the same size as our common tombstones, filling the entire sarcophagus. There are more than twenty pieces. .
"Turn the world around." Two seconds later, Mr. Sun replied with these four words.
"Huh?" Sun Yixie obviously didn't understand what this meant.
Master Sun then explained: "These stone tablets record the unique martial arts skills developed 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, It is the superior inner skill of our Sun family that is not passed down to others, and it is also the unique martial arts of all theseThe basis of this, so all the kung fu here are collectively referred to by its name. "
"What? Sun Yixie was excited at that time, "Dad, there is such a powerful thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”
“Who told you not to learn martial arts well when you were a child? "Master 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 knew that you had worshiped so many masters, but none of them could. Those who persisted from the first to the fifteenth day of junior high school. If I give these to you, wouldn’t I be harming you? "
"Then...Dad, why are you willing to pass this on to me now? "Sun Yixi said.
"Of course I am afraid that you will suffer a loss when you go out. Mr. Sun said, "Besides, you are such a big man now. You have made the fish market prosperous over the years, which shows that you still have a sense of propriety in your conduct. This is the right time for you." "
"Well..." Sun Yixie also knew that this was the truth. Parents always love their children. Even if the child fails to live up to his expectations, it is impossible to see him suffer.
After a few seconds of silence, a question that had troubled Sun Yixie for many years suddenly flashed through his mind, and he quickly asked again: "Eh? By the way, the characters in our family are arranged upside down. Is this also related to the idea of "turning the world upside down"? ”
“That’s right. Mr. Sun said, "This is the ancestral precept left by the ancestor who created the 'Reversal of the Universe'. From that generation onwards, our descendants of the Sun family have always arranged their names upside down." ”
“What’s the point?” "Sun Yixie asked again.
"Probably just for fun. "Master Sun replied casually.
"Huh? "This answer was beyond Sun Yixie's expectation.
"Didn't I say it happened hundreds of years ago? What's the use of asking me? "What Mr. Sun said makes sense. Why many so-called "traditions" have been passed down, as well as their original appearance and motivation for spreading may have been deviated or no one knows; some traditions have only lasted for more than a hundred years. Things are like this, let alone hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Seeing this, Sun Yixie could only give up and asked again: "Then... why did the ancestors write about martial arts? What about on the slate? How inconvenient does this seem? "
Master Sun seemed to have known that he would ask this question for a long time, and replied without thinking: "Bamboo chips, sheepskin, paper... these things will rot and become moldy over time; if they are exposed to water or fire, they will also become moldy. It may be burned directly; and if someone memorizes it, it is 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. It can be well preserved for thousands of years. "
"Nah HODO~" Sun Yixie nodded seriously, and subconsciously said a Japanese sentence from nowhere.
This is not the first time that Mr. Sun has heard this The son said 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. Counting the distance, you should set off in fifty days... There is a saying that if you sharpen your weapons in battle, you will lose your happiness if you are not happy. Don't go again in these fifty days. It's time to take care of the fish market business. Practice your martial arts well. If you don't understand anything, ask Huang Shixiu for advice. I think you two are very compatible... I hope he can help you more to prevent you from being bullied out of the world. "
"Ha!" Sun Yixiao laughed, "Don't worry, dad, I have always been the only one who bullies others. How can I be bullied by others? It will never embarrass the Sun family."
"If that's true... that would be for the best." Mr. Sun is still a little worried, but he can only think of the good.
