In the east of the city, the Duanmu family’s caravan is stationed.
It was still the dark underground chamber, with several bronze lamps burning quietly, emitting a dim yellow light.
"What? You said someone in the caravan was stealing bamboo slips last night? Who did you listen to?" Duanmu Shuliang looked at Zhao Qing in front of him and said in surprise.
As far as he knew, Zhao Qing sent Zheng Dan's internal energy without interruption last night and did not leave the secret room.
Speaking of which, he is quite envious of this healing qi-refining method. Even if his cultivation level is not high, he can still become a guest in many places.
"It's like this. You should have seen the white ape I walked with. Its intelligence is the same as that of humans. That's what it told me..."
Zhao Qing briefly introduced the situation of Monkey King, and then asked: "Is there a volume of "Lianshan Yi" among the bamboo slips carried by the caravan? The content inside is the gossip of Gen Palace."
"The "Lianshanyi" passed down by the Emperor? How could our caravan bring such an obscure and difficult book on the road? I remember the dozens of bamboo slips, the contents of which were the caravan's account books and cargo lists." p>
Duanmu Shuliang had naturally heard of the name "Lianshan Yi", but he had not read the original text of "Lianshan Yi".
Ancient classics such as "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang" are very rare and are mostly concentrated in the collection rooms of princes and nobles.
Generally speaking, the longer the inheritance and the higher the status of nobles, the closer the ancient classics they collect to the originals. Ordinary nobles collect versions that have been revised and changed by later generations.
In ancient times, the writing and grammar used were quite different from those of today. After being passed down, there will be various differences in interpretation, and even the opposite or inversion.
As a result, the value of these ancient classics has been greatly reduced. No one can guarantee that the version they see is accurate. Relying on wrong classics to understand the Tao and the Dharma will lead to going astray and going astray.
There are not a few people.
The person who has the most and most complete collection of classics in the world is none other than Laozi, who once served as the keeper of the Zhou royal family's room. Many people speculate that Laozi's profound cultivation and Taoism were gained from reading ancient classics.
Out.
However, few of these people dare to imitate Lao Tzu's path. It is precisely for this reason.
Duanmu Shuliang was born as an inconspicuous bastard in the main lineage of the Duanmu clan, and later became one of the leaders of the caravan sent to Vietnam. However, he also had the right to consult the ancient classics of the clan, but Duanmu Shuliang never had
Went to see it.
The reason is very simple. If you try to understand something from these classics that contain many errors, the probability of success is astonishingly low. Instead of wasting time, it is better to read a few more volumes of business-related books and memorize a few more volumes of the General Record of World Products.
You can also get the respect and praise from your elders.
Diviners, wizards, and physiognomists often carry the Three Yis with them, but most of them only use the "Yi" as reference material and rarely have any insights.
Basically, the only people who really study these classics carefully are the Taishi, the Cangshishi and others from various countries.
"You mean that an outsider hid a volume of "Lianshan Yi" among the piles of bamboo slips in our caravan, and then someone tried to find it last night?" Duanmu Shuliang thought for a while and looked at Zhao Qingdao. "For now, it's like this. Today I met a bandit from Panyu Mountains and learned that this volume of "Lianshan Yi" may be related to clues about King Zhou Mu's treasure." Zhao Qing added.
At that time, Xu Shiliu claimed that he had the secret of King Zhou Mu's treasure. Zheng Dan and the caravan guards heard it, and Zhao Qing was not prepared to hide it.
If the news is true, she does not feel that her current strength can participate in such an incident involving top experts.
Duanmu Shuliang pondered for a moment and said: "What is the legacy of King Mu of Zhou? According to the news from our Duanmu family, King Mu once ordered his Yanshi to secretly build a huge underground city in the mountains. It contains countless treasures. The specific location
Unknown."
"It is said that in his later years, King Mu kept the immortal magic he obtained from the Queen Mother of the West deep in the city, and ordered the entire city to sink into the ground. This is the so-called legend of King Mu's legacy, and the city has also been
People call it 'King Mu's Treasure City'."
"The biggest doubt about this rumor is that King Mu had no reason not to leave the treasures and immortal magic to his son, Prince Gong, but to bury them underground. This city is not his own mausoleum and needs a pile of treasures to be buried with him." p>
"However, over thousands of years, many people have claimed to have discovered King Mu's treasure city. They said that this huge city traveled underground and would appear at regular intervals. Moreover, their descriptions were quite detailed, which makes it hard not to
Believe it really exists."
A city traveling underground? This technology is a bit outrageous. It seems that it has nothing to do with a roll of bamboo slips. Zhao Qing rubbed his hair and thought silently.
"My talents are limited and I am already very old. I no longer dream of reaching the sky in one step like I did when I was young. But Miss Zhao, you are still young and have endless potential." Looking at the young and lively Zhao Qing in front of him,
Duanmu Shuliang said with a smile.
"Since your companion Bai Yuan has obtained bamboo slips that may be clues to the treasure from the pile of bamboo slips in the caravan, if you are willing to search for the treasure, I will provide support behind you."
Duanmu Shuliang turned around and said calmly: "If you really find something, remember to mention it to me when you publicize it to the outside world, so that I can also enjoy the treatment of leaving my name for future generations."
Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said that she didn't want to explore the treasure, it was impossible.
However, the bamboo slips were found in the Duanmu family's caravan after all, and Duanmu Shuliang theoretically had priority in handling them. Fortunately, he gave the bamboo slips to himself.
"The person who stole the bamboo slips from the caravan last night should go check it now?" Zhao Qing reminded.
"I'm about to check. However, the possibility of being able to find out is very small. After the thief discovers that he stole the wrong thing, he can put the bamboo slip back to its original place, so that he can't tell the difference."
"There is one more important thing. Since the elders of the Peng clan will come to support, I have decided to postpone the departure date of the caravan for two days. During this period, you can come to me if you have anything."
Duanmu Shuliang replied, jumped onto the passage at the top and left.
……
After Duanmu Shuliang left for a while, the flame of the indoor bronze lamp gradually calmed down.
Zhao Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, concentrating, then opened the white porcelain bottle in his hand, gently poured out a black pill, and placed it in the palm of his right hand.
Most of the surface of the black elixir is as black as charcoal, with seven tiny red dots. Upon closer inspection, the black part is more like a layer of medicine, and the red dots are seven small holes, just like the seven orifices of a human being.
Average.
This is the foundation-building elixir treasured by the Peng family: Fire Aperture Pill.
Without seeing how her right hand moved, the soybean-sized Fire Aperture Pill jumped up slightly and fell into Zhao Qing's mouth.
She thought of a special way to utilize the fire energy contained in the Fire Aperture Pill.
Among the five elements, fire overcomes metal. Using the energy of fire to smelt the energy of metal may improve her progress in the "Heavenly Weapon Refining and Entrainment Method", speed up the speed of opening the pulse of sword energy, and complete the first step earlier.
The sword energy of the wheel opens the meridians.
In this way, the time to enter the dream world can be advanced earlier, so that the strength can be improved faster.
