The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 241: The Appearance of the Luoshu, the Changing of the Great Era
Zhuge Wushuang and Mu Qingcheng exclaimed in shock:
"Black Tortoise?"
What else could it be but the Black Tortoise boarding the ship?
When Yang Yan released it, it quietly gave him a glance and then walked straight towards the edge of the square. ππβ―π¦ππ¦π£πππππ.πβ΄π
It seemed to want to leave, but Yang Yan knew this Black Tortoise had something to say to him.
Thatβs why he came to this place to wait for it.
Yang Yan squatted down and looked at the now smaller Black Tortoise, saying:
"Speak, what else is there?"
"Itβs nothing major, just wanted to ask if I can follow you in the future?"
The Black Tortoise spoke.
"What? You want to follow me?"
Yang Yan was immediately puzzled upon hearing the Black Tortoise say it wanted to follow him.
"The New Era is coming, the Hidden World will be reshuffled, and someone is already eyeing us Four Symbols. There are likely only a handful of the Black Tortoise clan left in the world."
"The world is tough, the future is uncertain, and I have to find a shelter. Otherwise, I might not survive this looming catastrophe."
The Black Tortoise spoke sincerely.
"Haha! You think so highly of me? You probably donβt know, right? The catastrophe you mentioned was caused by me! And how do you know this is the start of a New Era?"
Yang Yan smiled at the Black Tortoise and said.
After listening to Yang Yan, the Black Tortoise shook its head gently and continued:
"Our Black Tortoise clan is favored by the Heavenly Dao, allowing us to glimpse a sliver of heavenly secrets. Although you initiated this incident, even if you didnβt, someone else would have."
"This is the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Itβs heavenβs mandate, unstoppable by human power. To avoid disaster and seek fortune, one must depend on the strong."
Yang Yan became even more suspicious.
The Black Tortoise is inherently able to communicate with the Netherworld and divine. This is the innate divine technique of the Black Tortoise clan.
But if it claims itβs able to divine this looming catastrophe, Yang Yan doesnβt believe it.
This major event concerning an era is beyond its capability. Not even the prophecy experts can know.
They can only feel a resonance at most.
Thatβs already their limit.
"Honestly, how do you determine this is the demise of the era? And not just an ordinary major event? Donβt tell me you divined it yourself; if you had that ability, you wouldnβt have been trapped there for a hundred years."
Yang Yan asked with a smile.
After hearing Yang Yan, the Black Tortoise laughed awkwardly and then pointed its claw at its back:
"Look at the things on my back; once you see them, youβll understand why I claim this is the demise of an era."
After the Black Tortoise spoke, its body grew slightly larger to let Yang Yan see the things on its back clearly.
Not only Yang Yan, but even Zhuge Wushuang, Mu Qingcheng, and Red Dust were all intrigued by the Black Tortoiseβs words.
They all widened their eyes and looked at the Black Tortoiseβs back.
On its back were mysterious patterns, resembling words but not quite, unclear as to what they were.
The four of them were not ordinary people; upon seeing them, they quickly all said in unison:
"Luoshu!"
"Right! Itβs Luoshu. Now you understand why I determine this catastrophe as the demise of an era, do you?"
The Black Tortoise said helplessly.
With this, Yang Yan and the others fell silent.
Luoshuβs appearance was extraordinarily significant.
If this matter were to be spread, who knows how much more chaos it would cause.
Legend has it that the roots of Huaxia culture are River Map and Luoshu.
Itβs said that with the appearance of River Map and Luoshu, a Saint will appear.
And the first Saint to possess River Map and Luoshu in Huaxia was the founder of human culture, Fu Xi.
Ancient texts record that from the Fu Xi Clan, a Dragon Horse emerged from the Yellow River carrying the River Map, and a divine tortoise carried Luoshu from the Luo River.
It was based on these two items that Fu Xi created the Eight Trigrams.
Later, King Wen of Zhou used the Fuxiβs Eight Trigrams to develop Wenwangβs Eight Trigrams and the Sixty-four Trigrams, writing trigrams texts.
This shows how extraordinary the thing on the Black Tortoiseβs back is.
The four of them, including Yang Yan, didnβt speak for a long time.
Especially Yang Yan, he didnβt believe he was any Saint.
Back in the Hidden World, the things he did had no relation at all to the word βSaintβ.
Moreover, the ten swords under his command were not benevolent figures either, their hands stained with unknown amounts of blood.
"Who is this thing for? Donβt tell me itβs for me. I know my weight; if itβs about killing, Iβm very capable, but being a Saint is impossible!"
Yang Yan was the first to break the silence.
"Youβve stumped me on that one too. I donβt know who this thing should go to, and it only appeared a few years ago, or did you think that black-robed man would let such an important thing slip away?"
The Black Tortoise said helplessly.
"Appeared a few years ago? So youβre saying this thing wasnβt naturally on your back?"
Zhuge Wushuang widened his eyes and asked curiously.
"Yes, it appeared a few years ago. At that time, when I was trapped in that damned array, my consciousness was asleep, and only when this thing suddenly appeared did I wake up once. It scared me too. Iβm a Black Tortoise, not a divine tortoise!"
The Black Tortoise said somewhat vexed.
"Then why arenβt you searching for the owner of this thing instead of bringing it to me? Iβm not interested in being a Saint or anything like that."
Yang Yan said with frustration.
"Since I got this thing, the first Great Power I encountered was you, who else should I give it to? Maybe this thing is inherently meant for you? You donβt have evidence to say this thing isnβt meant for you, do you?"
The Black Tortoise seemed a bit desperate seeing Yang Yan refusing the Luoshu.
If Yang Yan refused the Luoshu, it would have to search everywhere for the owner of this thing.
Tiring is one thing, but thereβs also danger involved! Who knows if there are accomplices of that black-robed man?
Being trapped for a century like this, the very thought makes oneβs liver tremble.
"Haha! You mean I need evidence to not want this thing? What kind of divine logic is that? Get lost! Go find the owner of this thing yourself; I have zero interest in River Map and Luoshu or whatever."
With that, Yang Yan reached out to grab the Black Tortoise, intending to throw it back into the sea.
"Lord, you should keep it for now! What it says isnβt without reason, and keeping it doesnβt have any harm, better to keep it for now. Holding it in our hands is more reassuring than letting it be taken by those schemers."
Red Dust said from the side.
The appearance of Luoshu is something that cannot be changed.
If heaven intends to give Luoshu to Yang Yan, and Yang Yan refuses, it would anger the Heavenly Dao.
Thereβs a saying:
Heavenβs gift unaccepted, brings disaster upon oneself.
Moreover, since this thing appeared before Yang Yan, there must be a reason.
If it was lost, who knows what would happen in the future.
Thus, Yang Yan complied and reluctantly accepted this reality.
