Chapter 4 The Mysterious Zu Chong

Seeing this memory, Yang Zheng was stunned.

What is this situation? Did Zu Chong predict that the situation would happen today, so he had prepared a suicide note long ago?

Who is this Zu Chong?

Yang Zheng was overwhelmed with curiosity and rushed down the hill. He couldn't wait to go home and take out the mysterious suicide note.

For some reason, he felt a strong premonition in his heart that if he wanted to leave this deserted island, his greatest hope would fall on his suicide note.

When he ran back to his hut, it was already dark.

After lit the oil lamp, the dim light scattered in the house, and the atmosphere was inexplicably gloomy. Yang Zheng held the oil lamp and half-kneeled on the ground.

Zu Chong is worthy of being a famous craftsman. He is skillful and skillful. He lays strips of wooden boards on the ground. It looks neat and beautiful, and is quite similar to modern floors.

Yang Zheng was getting nervous. As he told, he moved away from the lower right corner of the bed leg and tapped the wooden board with his hand, making a crisp sound. Sure enough, the underside of the wooden board was empty.

Under nervousness, sweat beads oozing out of his forehead, he used his fingers to snatch the gaps in the wooden board and spread it open. Unlike what he imagined, what caught his eye was not an envelope or package, but a rusty iron plate.

A line of small characters bulges on the surface of the iron plate.

Yang Zheng bowed down and stared at them intently, sweat constantly slipping down.

"Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin!"

This line of small characters actually means the name of the Seven Thousand Kingdoms.

Yang Zheng's heart was pounding. Based on his knowledge in his memory, he could naturally see that these seven words seemed ordinary, but in fact they had hidden mystery.

"Qi" is written in Qi language, "Chu" is written in Chu language... "Wei" is written in Wei language, but the last word "Qin" is not written in Qin language, but Zhao language he is most familiar with.

"Huh... I understand, Zu Chong is too smart! Only I in the village can master the six kingdoms at the same time. Even if others find this place, it will be difficult to identify strange words."

He stretched out his index finger and pressed carefully to the last word.

"Do you want me to choose Qin?"

Yang Zheng knew that since Zu Chong was so cautious, he would have a mechanism under the iron plate. Once his choice was wrong, it would either trigger a fatal murderous intent, or the suicide note would be automatically destroyed and not leaked.

"I'm trying to find fault with my life..."

The index finger was trembling and pressed hard.

At this moment, he felt like he was about to suffocate, and he heard a bang. He thought he had touched the mechanism, so he wanted to fly and pounce in the distance.

But the picture of hidden weapons being emitted in the imagination did not appear. The corresponding change was that the wooden board in the corner of the wall ejected.

He bet right.

Qin is the right choice.

Yang Zheng let out a long breath, his spine became cold and his whole body was wet with cold sweat. He walked to the corner of the wall with an oil lamp, took out an envelope from under the wooden board, and began to concentrate on reading.

“Long'er:

I don't want you to see this letter. I'm not willing to die, but this means that you are already in a desperate situation. Now that things have come to this, you have to learn to face it independently. Children, you should grow up.

You must have discovered that everyone in the village is dead, and you are the only one living. In fact, from the first day I came to this island, I foresee such an ending. Taking you to see Xinlingjun is the biggest mistake I have made in my life."

Yang Zheng could understand Zu Chong's regret.

Through his memory, he learned that when Wei Wuji sent someone to send an invitation letter, he only said that Zu Chong would go to the banquet and discuss important matters, but he did not say that he would move to the island. He was only six years old at that time, and Zu Chong couldn't bear to leave him, so he took him with him.

Unexpectedly, it took ten years to go there.

"Of course, as long as you can live, I will die with peace of mind. You are right, the murderer is Xinlingjun. He is willing to spare your life. He should not bear to start and want you to die on the island."

Seeing this, Yang Zheng's eyes bloomed with coldness. Zu Chong still underestimated Wei Wuji's vicious heart. Even though this island was isolated from the world and could not escape, Wei Wuji was still unwilling to give him a chance to survive.

"I'm not sure if he can be merciful, so for the past ten years, I have been letting you pester him and play, just to make him feel good about you and have compassion when he takes action. You have never practiced and can't swim, so that you can dispel his doubts..."

Yang Zheng suddenly realized.

Zu Chong was very thoughtful and insisted on not letting him practice. It turned out that he was to paralyze Wei Wuji. People without internal strength had the least threat to Wei Wuji. Even if they were alive on the island, they would not be able to escape.

This is Zu Chong's remedy.

"As long as you can survive, all your efforts are worth it. But, listening to me, you must not be satisfied with living alone on the island. You must try all possibilities and return to the mainland as soon as possible!"

Yang Zheng was so lit up, did he ask me to go back, do you want me to inform me?

"You are still young and have a lot of truths. I can't explain it clearly to you, and I don't want you to bear pressure early. But you have to remember that your life shouldn't be overwhelmed, and there are still great achievements waiting for you to build!"

Yang Zheng grinned, looking at this, could I be more than the son of craftsmen, or the son of destiny?

He was increasingly unable to guess Zu Chong.

"In the past few years, I have prepared some things for you to help you improve your confidence in crossing the sea. They are all hidden in the corner of the south wall, among which you cannot open the skin at the bottom. After returning to Handan, you will immediately hand it over to Uncle Zhao Cheng.

Remember to find him as soon as possible!”

After reading the complete suicide note, Yang Zheng folded it and put it away, and his heart was full of scent.

The suicide note is not long, and Zu Chong's concern for his son is revealed between the lines. He is always worried about Zu Long's situation, rather than his anger at his murder.

Another point is that Zu Chong's tone was urgent and repeatedly emphasized that Zu Long could not live on the island for a long time and had to return to the mainland as soon as possible.

Yang Zheng probably guessed that Zu Chong, as one of the creators of the artifact, must have wanted him to pass the secret back to the continent and prevent Wei Wuji from slaughtering the Central Plains. The skin that was not allowed to be opened should be the secret core inside.

He stood up and walked towards the south corner with the lantern.

"Fortunately, Zulong has a good father who is quick-witted and prepares items for me to escape in advance. Look, what he left behind..."

He pried up all the wooden boards, and what caught his eye was an iron plate with an iron spoon on it.

"This is Si Nan! The earliest compass in history appeared in the Warring States Period. Zu Chong prepared for the future and prepared this thing, so I would save trouble."

After moving out of Sinan, there was an envelope underneath, which was written no longer a will, but all the steps to build a wooden boat. Zu Chong wrote it in detail and easy to understand.

"Ship is the most important tool for navigation. Zu Chong was a famous craftsman in the world. The ship built according to his instructions must be very strong and can be driven alone without falling apart."

Below the envelope is a book.

When Yang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked, he saw three words written on the cover, "Yi Shuihan".

"'The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves' is a lyrics sing before Jing Ke left Yan State. The three words of the book's title are written in Yan's text. It seems that it is the top martial arts of Yan State..."

Sitting next to the oil lamp, he opened the book cover and exposed the title page with a few lines of words on it.

"Long'er, this technique comes from the Shuihan Palace of Yan Kingdom. It is the most yin and soft, and is a unique skill in water-attributed technique. I spent a lot of effort to change it from your Uncle Ji, and there is only one volume of the water-avoiding technique."

As the name suggests, the water avoidance technique can allow martial artists to swim in the water without breathing in a short period of time. When crossing the sea, once the boat capsizes and falls into the water, this water avoidance technique can play a miraculous effect and save a life.

"Oh, Uncle Ji said that the water avoidance technique is extremely difficult to practice. It is impossible to achieve success without twenty or thirty years. It is really a pity for you to learn and use it now, but I have no choice..."

Yang Zheng was not surprised, thinking that if it could be done quickly, we two would have finished practicing water escape long ago, so there was no need to wait until today.

When he put "Yi Shuihan" aside and read it down, it was another martial art, "The True Sutra of Chongxu".

"It is definitely not enough to pass through the vast sea and practice the water-avoiding technique that only practices temporarily. This "Chongxu True Sutra" is a sutra of the Taoist Xuanyuan School, created by the ancient sage Liezi. It is not only internal strength, but also the chapter on the Wind Control, which is a high-quality light skill!"

In China's previous life, Yang Zheng had read ancient records of Liezi walking with the wind. Zhuangzi also praised it in his famous work "Xiaoyaoyou", "Liezi walking with the wind was cool and kind, and he turned against him for five days."

At that time, Yang Zheng just regarded it as a ridiculous story. He did not expect that Liezi's light skills would actually exist in another world. Since this is the case, does the Taoist Xuanyuan School that Liezi belongs to also follow the Huang-Lao learning?

But now, his most concerned point is not his light skills.

"Use Taoist internal strength to build the foundation, and now I can practice formally!"
