Chapter 47: Star Beads

Even so, the Hu family ancestor's ability is amazing enough. He can find treasures thousands of miles away by divination and calculation. The Hu family ancestor is better than a god. After sighing, Hu Lin asked again: "The Third Young Master said that the ancestor had divination a proverb. I wonder what this proverb is? What does it have to do with this trip to Wancheng?"

When Hu Lin mentioned that proverb, Hu Chengzong couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't know if such important information would cause unpredictable consequences. But after thinking about it, there were only three of them here, and they were not outsiders. It seemed nothing to listen to it. Moreover, the proverb was extremely general. Even if it was accidentally passed on, others would not guess what it meant.

Thinking of this, Hu Lin lowered his voice and said, "For the sake of your hard work with me to complete the task, I can tell you, but this proverb is the secret of our Hu family. You two must not spread it."

Hu Lin said: "Don't worry, the third young master, we will definitely keep our mouths tight."

"Yes, we are closely related to the Hu family, and we will never do anything that will harm the interests of the Hu family." Hu Biao also promised.

Both of them promised not to reveal any information to the outside. Hu Chengzong then said slowly in a reciting tone: "One star is gone in Wan, two stars hide into the mountains, three stars flow into the West, four stars fall into the south of the sky, five stars scatter in two places, six stars hide in Sichuan, seven stars come out of the South China Sea, eight stars live in fertile fields, nine stars gather together, and live endlessly from now on."

"What do you mean by this star and nine stars? You're simply clueless." Before Hu Chengzong said it, Hu Biao felt itchy and uncomfortable. After Hu Chengzong said it, he had a headache again. This thing was too brain-consuming for him. He was just a reckless man, and he could fight, but he would be fooled by things that needed to guess riddles.

Hu Lin had a completely different view. He pondered: "It can't be considered clueless. The last sentence of the proverb is very obvious, that is, the nine stars gather together and live a long life. As for how nine stars gather together and how long life is, we need to slowly inquire about it."

Hu Biao said blankly: "I have never heard of the gathering of Nine Stars. I have seen the Seven Dragon Balls. It is said that gathering seven dragon balls can summon the dragon to satisfy your wishes."

Hu Lin's heart moved and said, "Dragon Ball? Is this proverb the same as the story of the Dragon Ball. As long as nine dragon balls gather together, they can summon gods and extend their lifespan?"

Hu Chengzong said: "Uncle Lin said something. In fact, the ancestor also believed so, but it was not the Laoshizi dragon ball, but the star ball, because there was such a star ball in our ancestor's hand. The star ball was about the size of an egg and had a purple star on it."

If it were just those few proverbs, Hu Lin and Hu Biao would never believe that there are any gods in this world and how long they can extend their lifespan. Now that I heard Hu Chengzong say that their ancestors even had a star bead in the proverb, it proves that these proverbs are likely to be true.

Is there really a god in this world? Hu Biao was still imagining, but Hu Lin guessed some possibilities from Hu Chengzong's words and said, "In this way, there should be nine star beads in total. The first nine proverbs are the whereabouts of the nine star beads?"

Hu Chengzong said: "That's true. Originally, the ancestor didn't dare to be completely sure. He just told me some of the direction information he calculated and asked us to come and explore the way first. But based on some clues we have found in the past few days, the matter is already very obvious. A star is missing from Yu Wan. Isn't it just that General Lei, who has the star bead, died in Wancheng City?"

Hu Lin nodded and said, "The Third Young Master is right. The third sentence of the proverb says that three stars flow to the West. It should be our Hu family. The Hu family has been wandering overseas in the West for many years, and the ancestor also happens to have the third star bead."

When they talked about this, not only Hu Lin and Hu Bao understood, but even Ji Wenyu, who was eavesdropping in the hidden mystery array, suddenly realized that no wonder the Hu family came to the General Temple Village from thousands of miles away and secretly searched for the hidden weapon cave. It turned out that this was the case.

A star was missing from Yu Wan, and the Hu family ancestor's divination technique was really powerful. General Lei did have a star bead in his hand, but he was taken first by others. Now the star bead is in Ji Wenyu's hand.

Nine stars gathered together, and from then on, they lived forever. Ji Wenyu is only in his early twenties and has nothing to do with that live forever. However, this star bead is obviously not an ordinary thing. If they gathered together, they might get huge benefits, which will definitely be of great use to improve their strength.

I didn't expect that I could hear such an important secret this time, and it was really worth the trip. Ji Wenyu was originally extremely satisfied with the gains this time, but after listening to Hu Chengzong's words, he realized that there were still many such good things. If he could defeat the proverb of the ancestor of the Hu family and be ahead of the Hu family every time, wouldn't he have to make a fortune?

Not to mention what Ji Wenyu is thinking, the three people outside are still talking about the topic just now. Hu Biao frowned and said, "Third Master, we are trapped outside the formation now and there is no way. It is so difficult to find a star bead. It is probably difficult to gather nine together as if it is as heaven."

The old man Hu Lin also sighed: "Yes, most of the proverbs are vague. There is no way to guess what is scattered and what is living in fertile land. If we have worked hard to get all nine star beads, or have gathered all nine star beads but have not got the expected results, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

"Even if it is in vain, it must be done. This is the main task of the Hu family in the next few years, and it is also a major event that concerns the survival of the Hu family. It can only be successful but not failed." Hu Chengzong said.

"The Hu family is rich, powerful and famous, what do you want? Why bother to work hard for this?" Hu Biao disagreed.

Hu Chengzong said: "Do you know what is the most attractive thing among the proverbs? It is the last sentence that will never live forever. To put it bluntly, the ancestor is already 108 years old this year. This is almost the limit of lifespan of ordinary people. How many years can they live with hard work? The closer a person is, the more afraid of death. For the current ancestors, what treasures, wealth, and descendants are all empty, and only lifespan is the most precious."

Hu Lin suddenly realized and said, "In other words, in order to increase his life span, he should try it even if he consumes his family's wealth? Even if he only has a small hope, he should take a gamble?"
