Yu Lin took out a map from his sleeve and said: "Wumiao spent a lot of effort to find out something about the whereabouts of Yizhou Ding. We don't know whether the news is true or false at the moment. You can go and check it out by yourself.
【】When necessary, you can rely on this to mobilize the immediate guardians of the witch temple to help you." Then he handed him a jade plaque.
Xia Xie was stunned as soon as he took the jade token. This was the token of Elder Yin Wu, so he asked: "I won't be afraid of others saying I'm a fake when I take this, right?"
Helin Xinrui smiled and said: "Idiot, since I dare to give you this badge, it means that everything has been taken care of for you. It is not unusual for the Hidden Witch Sect to absorb a prince as an elder. Those people under the Witch Temple only
There is no one with a waist card. Don’t worry about that.”
Xia Xie smiled awkwardly and said: "In that case, I'm relieved." Then he took the map and took a look. There was a mark on the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Gunzhou. Yizhou Dinglai should be there most likely. So he smiled and said:
"I'll draw a map first. Tomorrow morning I'll go see Han Chu and give it to him.
A big gift to make that old guy happy." After saying that, he hurried back to the study. He has been thinking about the Biyou Palace in his heart now, and wants to finish all the things at hand and then go to Atlantis to explore
After all, you might be lucky enough to find out a little bit of news about the devil.
Xia Xie went to Dragon City in the early morning of the next day and waited for the decree outside the main hall until noon. After the court meeting was over, Xia Xie was ordered to enter the Tianwu main hall. After entering the main hall, Xia Xie found the golden mountain and poured the jade.
He bowed three times and bowed nine times. He waved his hands coldly and said, "I love you. I don't know why you are here."
Xia Xie raised his head coldly with a melancholy look on his face. It was obvious that his search for Jianmu was not going well, or something else had happened to China. Being a puppet emperor was not that easy.
The memorial will tell. Xia Xie hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen was in seclusion some time ago. Your Majesty sent people to visit Wei Chen many times. I am very grateful. I am out of seclusion today, so I came to you first.
Say hello."
Han Cu said impatiently: "It turns out that Aiqing is a member of the country and a pillar of China. It is understandable that I sent someone there. Prime Minister Gui Che has already conveyed your words to me. King Gu is very pleased.
If nothing happens, please kneel down first."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have another important matter to report to Your Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty is worried about Jianmu these days?"
Han Xu was immediately stunned. The search for Jian Mu was a secret. How did he know? He broke into a cold sweat immediately, but he asked very calmly: "How did Aiqing know about this?"
Xia Xie smiled and said: "We are loyal and dedicated to sharing your majesty's worries. I just heard it mentioned by others occasionally."
When Han Cu heard that Xia Xie was trying to get along with Xini, he still wasn't strict enough when doing things by himself. If this got to Hou Yi's ears, he would probably suffer a lot. He immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "
So what Aiqing means is that you know something about Jianmu?"
Then Xia Xie took out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Weichen accidentally obtained this map from the people. It is said that it records the whereabouts of Jianmu. Weichen thought that the king was worried about this matter, so he specially sent this map
Dedicated to the king."
Han Chu said excitedly: "Send it up." Then the eunuch beside him hurriedly walked down and took the map and handed it to Han Chu. Han Chu didn't have much hope at first, because he had already suffered a lot during this time.
Fake, none of them are reliable. But he opened it
Xia Xie was stunned when he saw the map given to him, because the map said that the marked construction site was in southern Xinjiang. This was completely consistent with what was recorded in the witch temple. Long Yan Dayue laughed and said, "Aiqing is indeed loyal.
, I’m so relieved. But is this map reliable?”
Xia Xie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it is reliable. This map was excavated by Weichen in an ancient tomb. Later, it was found that the ancient tomb was the tomb of Jinglei, the second lord of the Wu Temple." Of course, this is the tomb.
It's nonsense. Xia Xie only knew that Jinglei had served as the sect leader and was missing in the end, but Han Cu naturally believed it. He smiled happily and said: "Since you are so lonely, I believe you. Come here, I will reward the Eastern Jin Dynasty King with a dragon staff."
, fifty thousand slaves.”
Xia Xie hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." This dragon staff is a symbol of status. With this dragon staff, you can go directly to the palace for discussion. Generally, only the close ministers of King Xia are qualified and have the opportunity to possess it. Xia Xie immediately
He took the dragon staff from the eunuch's hand, and then resigned. Han Xu looked at Xia Xie's back with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and then he said: "Come, General Dongfang has been sent to see you."
After Xia Xie came back from Longcheng, he arranged the affairs of the mansion, and then let him handle some more important fiefdom memorials before flying directly to Gunzhou. Gunzhou includes the current lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Jishui, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong.
Waiting for a place. The point marked on the map is outside Dongyang City in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. This is the fiefdom of King Qingming. Xia Xie has never dealt with this King Qingming, so he is not prepared to alarm him.
After flying for about a day, Xia Xie arrived at Dongyang City in the afternoon of the next day. Dongyang City was not large in size. Compared with Anyi, it was only one-tenth of the city. Xia Xie did not enter the city and went directly to the city.
He walked towards the dots marked on the map outside. Following the dots, Xia Xie came to a forest outside Dongyang City, but Xia Xie wondered if this was still a virgin forest. Where was the Yizhou Cauldron hidden?
Xia Xie walked around the mark for a long time and found nothing of value. When he was depressed, Xia Xie met a small group of hunters in the woods. They were talking and laughing, and they were all carrying a lot of game. Today they
The harvest was good. One of the hunters who led the team saw Xia Xie and shouted: "Young man, are you lost?"
Xia Xie felt happy and thought that they might know some clues. So he shouted: "Brother, I came to Dongyang City on business and got lost in the mountains. Can you point me to Mingyang?"
Are there any roads in the city?”
The hunters glanced at each other, so the hunter leading the team smiled and said: "Little brother, it's getting late now, and you can't get out even if I show you a way. Why don't you go to our village and stay one night first, and tomorrow morning
I'll send someone to take you out and buy some things in the city. How do you do?"
Xia Xie thought for a while and smiled and said, "I'll excuse you." After saying that, he walked towards the pair of hunters. These hunters were very hospitable and very enthusiastic. Along the way, Xia Xie chatted with them and asked some questions.
The incident came out. The captain who took the lead was named Wang Shunlai, and he was a bold man. Xia Xie followed them back to the village when the night had just fallen.
This village is not big. There are dozens of wooden houses, less than fifty witch clans and a hundred slaves. As soon as Wang Shunlai entered the village, he shouted: "We are back." The village suddenly became quiet.
It became lively. Many women came out of the wooden house with their children and looked at Xia Xie curiously. A few girls had a hint of shyness in their eyes, while the slaves hurriedly took the prey to skin and cook. They were busy in a mess.
Wang Shunlai brought Xia Xie to the square of the village, and the bonfire was immediately lit. The women brought out all the home-brewed wine and placed it in front of Xia Xie. Then Wang Shunlai gave Xia Xie a bamboo tube and poured him wine.
: "Brother, we don't have anything else here. This grain-flavored wine is famous far and wide. Come and try it."
Xia Xie smelled it, and the aroma of the wine hit his nostrils. He immediately took a sip, and sure enough, the fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks. Then he gave a thumbs up and said, "Good wine, Brother Wang, how long have you lived here?"
Wang Shunlai said with a smile: "I really didn't know this. Our ancestors lived here. I grew up here as well. This forest is called Dongshan Forest and is rich in products. We also rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the forests to eat the forests.
Little brother, where do you come from?"
Xia Xie blurted out: "I came from Yizhou Prefecture. My master asked me to deliver the letter. I took a shortcut to save time. When I finally got here, my mount was surprised by a ferocious beast. So I ran around.
Then I got lost."
Wang Shunlai was stunned and said: "Then where is your mount?"
Xia Xie sighed and said, "I threw him on the road. His hind legs were broken and he can no longer use them."
Wang Shunlai sighed and said, "It's a pity. It's more than two thousand miles from Yizhou Mansion to here. How can you go back without a mount?"
Xia Xie smiled and said, "Well, I'll go to the inn when I get to the city tomorrow." While we were chatting, the game had already been placed on the bonfire, and then Wang Shun came and shouted, "Please invite the clan chief to come out for a meal."
At this time, several slaves carried a white-haired old man to the edge of the bonfire. The old man was very old. The skin on his face was like dried orange peel. He was short and stooped. He was sitting on a wooden chair.
There were no legs inside the trousers. Wang Shunlai walked to the bonfire and cut off the fattest piece of meat and handed it to him and said: "Grandpa, this is for you. We have a guest in the village today."
The old man opened his eyes slightly, and then glanced around with his sharp sword-like eyes. He immediately spotted Xia Xie. He was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled kindly and said: "Young man, eat more. Don't do this here."
No, I have enough food and wine."
Xia Xie hurriedly stood up and saluted him. This old guy was a Sanding Witch. Xia Xie didn't expect that it was not easy to have a Sanding Witch in such a village. Although the old guy was old,
The teeth are okay. That piece of meat
They also ate with gusto. The hunters drank heavily around the campfire and ate large pieces of meat. Xia Xie felt that this was life. He was as happy as they were. He took a big sip of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Wang
, I really envy your life."
Wang Shunlai smiled and said: "What are you envious of? Isn't Yizhou Prefecture better than here? In recent years, the court's taxes have become heavier and heavier, and things have become more and more expensive. Life has gradually become harder. By the way, I haven't asked Xiao Xiao yet.
Where’s the brother’s name?”
Xia Xie smiled and said, "My name is Mendan. I'm here to drink."
Wang Shunlai knew that he didn't use his real name, but he didn't take it seriously. A group of people sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After a few glasses of wine, everyone gradually relaxed, and a few strong
The Han people began to sing and dance around the campfire.
The women nearby joined in immediately, and laughter and melodious singing began. Xia Xie also followed the local customs and followed them, dancing and drinking around the bonfire. After a while, someone got drunk and fell to the ground.
Suddenly everyone around burst into laughter.
The bright moon was in the sky. Two hours later, most people had returned to their wooden houses. Under the stimulation of alcohol, there were bursts of noise in the room. Wang Shunlai also drank a lot, and he said drunkenly: "Little one, you
Go to my house to sleep today. I will send someone to take you out tomorrow."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "No need, I'm used to camping outside. I can't sleep well at home." The old man who had been silent at this time said: "Come on, you go back to sleep first. I have something to say to you.
The young man said." Wang Shunlai stood up staggeringly and said, "Then I'll go back first." Then he staggered towards their room with the support of a woman.
The women and slaves around began to clean up the mess on the ground, and after a while the surroundings became quiet. The old man waved to Xia Xie and motioned for him to sit closer. When Xia Xie walked up to him, the old man said a hundred years later
Then he smiled and said: "Young man, what are you here for?"
Xia Xie smiled and said, "I'm just lost."
The old man asked back: "Get lost? How can you, a Bading Witch, get lost? Are you kidding me again? There is nothing in our village. I advise you not to come and distract us."
Xia Xie knew that he couldn't hide it from him. After all, he had lived all his life and it was so easy to be deceived. So he smiled and said: "I am actually from the witch temple." Then he took out his token. The old man suddenly
He was stunned and immediately prepared to give Xia Xie
After bowing, Xia Xie hurriedly supported him and said: "You're welcome, old man. I'm used to living all over the world, so I often go out and walk around when I have nothing to do. Didn't I just meet you here today? I stopped by to cheat on you.
