Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 43: The Old Man in the Dream, the Wordless Book

Return to your room.

Zhou Ming couldn't help but think about what Yin Zhong meant by what he had just said.
But no matter how he thought about it, he didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said.

However, what he said does make sense.

It's better for me to have it if my father has it and my mother has it.

Although Zhou Ming had no intention of competing for hegemony, he also had no intention of ruling this vast world.

But he also has his own needs and some things he wants to do.

However, he had no one on his side, so he could only rely on his adoptive father Pei Ju.

But in this case, no matter what he did, he would never be able to hide it from Pei Ju.

Just like before, he asked Jianyu to find the Beiming Divine Art, but Jianyu gave the Beiming Divine Art to Pei Ju first.

For example, now he asked Uncle Qiang to get information about the Jianghu Monthly.

The result was that Pei Ju called him to his study and scolded him.

Finally, I drew a pie for him.

Although the pie he drew is very likely to come true in the future.

But Zhou Ming can be said to have truly experienced the disadvantages of relying on others.

"Having my own power... is feasible..."

Zhou Ming thought.

After all this, he naturally had no intention of writing the second part of the novel. As the night deepened, he fell asleep with the help of his maid.

................................................

"Where am I...?"

Zhou Ming looked around in confusion.

The fog was thick, covering the sky and the earth, and there was nothing else but myself.

"What did this do to me?"

As he was surprised, a wooden plank road suddenly appeared under his feet, and in front of the road was a pavilion.

"Is that... Qianjin Pavilion?"

Zhou Ming walked forward and saw that the pavilion was indeed the Qianjin Pavilion he was familiar with.

There is a lake in front of the pavilion.

A white-haired old man is sitting in the pavilion, holding a fishing rod, as if fishing.

When Zhou Ming walked over, he heard the sound of water splashing. The old man lifted the fishing rod and directly caught a fish with a small head and a big body, and it was extremely fat.

Without even looking up, the old man said, "So it's the owner of this place. I came here on my travels and saw the fish you raise in the lake. They're incredibly plump and delicious, truly rare. I couldn't help but cast a couple of lines. You don't mind, do you?"

"Since you like it, I don't mind."

Zhou Mingdao said, "However, there is a mistake in what you said. The fish in this lake are not raised by me, but are naturally raised by nature. I just often fish here.

"what?"

The old man was surprised and said, "I saw you coming here every morning, throwing fish food, and I thought you were raising fish here!"

Zhou Ming clenched his fists and said, "Senior, you are wrong! I come here every morning to fish, but it's not easy to fish here, so I spread some extra fish food. It's just to attract fish, not intentionally!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of splashing water. The old man raised his fishing rod and caught another big fat fish.

The fish's tail swayed left and right, as if slapping Zhou Ming's face.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman judges deeds, not intentions. Regardless of your intentions, the fish in this lake are fat because of you. I caught your fish here, and I won't treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, the old man took out a jade plate from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Ming: "This heavenly book is given to you."

Zhou Ming took the jade plate and saw that it was the size of a normal book, integrated into one, and both sides were smooth and without any marks.

"Senior, there's not a single word on this book. How am I supposed to read it?"

The old man smiled and said, "Since it is a heavenly book, then of course we need to use the heavenly eye to read it!"

"Ah? Third Eye? But I don't have it?"

"No, you do!"

................................................

"where?"

Zhou Ming opened his eyes and found that he had woken up from his dream without knowing when.

My right hand felt heavy, as if something was pressing on it.

He grabbed it and took a look. He saw a piece of jade plate, the size of a normal book, integrated into one, and smooth on both sides.

"Book of Heaven..."

Zhou Ming couldn't help but sit up, his face full of shock.

Xia Feng was awakened by his movements and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, you can continue to sleep." Zhou Ming turned over and got out of bed, saying, "I'll go out for a walk."

He put on his coat, walked out of the bedroom, went all the way to Qianjin Pavilion, picked up the fishing rod placed there, and threw it into the lake.

a long time.

There was no movement.

"I told you it's hard to catch fish here. How is it possible to catch two in such a short time?!"

Zhou Ming put down his fishing rod and cursed.

Of course, no one would really be in the mood to go fishing after experiencing something like tonight.

Zhou Ming just used this to calm his surging emotions.

The effect is obvious.

At least now he has regained his composure.

Picking up the jade plate, Zhou Ming thought deeply.

Sending a letter in a dream?

Or the Book of Heaven?

If someone else had such a mysterious experience, they would probably think they had met a god.

But Zhou Ming knew clearly that within this mansion, there was a being who was no less powerful than a god.

Immortal god and demon, Yin Zhong!
Could that old man in the dream be him?
and also……

Zhou Ming looked at the heavenly book: "I have a third eye? Where is it?"

The next morning, Zhou Ming ate breakfast listlessly, yawning from time to time.

Seeing this, Chunhua scolded in a low voice: "Xia Feng, I asked you to serve the young master, but don't just think about your own pleasure. Look how tired the young master is."

Xia Feng's cheeks flushed. "Sister, how could I... The young master got up in the middle of the night yesterday and didn't come back until several hours later. Who knows what he did?"

"Ok?"

When Chunhua heard this, her eyes immediately looked at the other two with a scrutinizing gaze.

At this time, Uncle Qiang walked quickly into the restaurant and said, "Master, the master wants you to come over."

"What's the matter again?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Master Yin received a letter via carrier pigeon and is preparing to return to the ancient Shu Kingdom."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ming was startled and immediately perked up.

Last night he studied the heavenly book for several hours, but he didn't figure out anything good or bad.

He also wondered where this heavenly book came from, and among them, Yin Zhong was naturally the most suspicious.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Yin Zhong was about to leave.

Now, there is no need to doubt anything, it must be him!

There was nothing wrong with Yu Jian Villa in the morning and in the evening, but why did it suddenly become a problem after I got this heavenly book?

I'm afraid it's just an excuse.

It’s just that Yin Zhong wants to leave on his own.

This is the so-called "confession without being asked".

Zhou Ming put down his breakfast, straightened his clothes, and said, "I'll be right there."

When he hurried to the door, Yin Zhong was already preparing to leave, and Pei Ju was there to see him off.

"Second uncle!"

Zhou Ming hurried forward and asked, "Why is Second Uncle leaving so suddenly and in such a hurry?"

Yin Zhongdao said, “It’s really urgent, and I have no choice.

My dear nephew, I have given you the Dharma. You must practice diligently and do not become lazy. This Dharma will benefit you immensely!"

Zhou Ming's eyes moved slightly.

Is this sentence referring to the sword energy finger or the heavenly book?

I'm afraid it's a double entendre.

If you don't know the truth, you might just think it's about the sword energy finger.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ming had a plot hook and knew that Yin Zhong was no ordinary person. When he got the Heavenly Book, he already had doubts about him.

Therefore, you can understand the other meaning of this sentence.

"My nephew will definitely practice diligently and live up to my uncle's trust!"

"Good good."

Yin Zhong nodded repeatedly and saluted Pei Ju: "Brother Pei, goodbye!"
