Shi Lan looked at Tianming with a little surprise.
Shi Lan still knew nothing about the Loulan that Shaoyu and the others were talking about, but what surprised her was that Tianming, uncharacteristically, knew a lot about Loulan.
It's not a good feeling to be a single parent. It's like the brother who has always been competing with you for the last or second place in the class suddenly loses his luck and gets into the top ten, leaving you all alone.
Fortunately, Shi Lan has a relatively indifferent personality and can control her emotions very well. If she and Tian Ming were switched, the latter would probably cry.
Zhang Liang was not surprised that the two little guys knew about the long-lost legend of Loulan.
Although he did not participate in the trip to Loulan, he knew the whole story, and naturally knew that these two boys were also deep participants in the incident.
It's normal to understand.
Therefore, Zhang Liang did not comment on whether the Loulan legend discussed by the two men was accurate, and directly terminated the topic:
"Haha, whether the Xuanyuan clan was given the power of the Heavenly Book to defeat the Chiyou clan, or whether Taigong Jiang Zi obtained the Taoism from Yaqishan Mountain and occasionally obtained the Heavenly Book, it is just a legend. The truth or falsehood has long been unverifiable, so don't worry too much about it."
At this time, Tianming stared at the Book of Heaven in his hand and suddenly exclaimed, "I made a discovery!"
Shaoyu looked at him with interest, "Oh, what can you find?"
Regarding Shao Yu's somewhat contemptuous words, Tian Ming shook his head angrily, and then replied triumphantly:
"I discovered that as soon as this or other heavenly book appears, someone will definitely be in bad luck."
The Yellow Emperor obtained the Book of Heaven, and Chi You was defeated and killed.
Jiang Ziya obtained the Book of Heaven, and King Zhou died and his country was destroyed.
They were all really in bad luck.
When Shao Yu heard this, he rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "This is not nonsense!"
"Someone is unlucky all the time!"
Zhang Liang interrupted at this time, "What Tianming said is not wrong."
"It is said that in times of peace and prosperity, the Book of Heaven will disappear without a trace, and will appear again when the world is in chaos."
"Hehe!" When Tianming heard that Zhang Liang agreed with his opinion, he grinned happily and winked at Shaoyu, "The third master said that I was right, so you have nothing to say."
"Bang!" Shao Yu tilted his head to the side and ignored Tian Ming.
After seeing this, Tianming made a face at him again, turned his attention to the heavenly book in his hand again, and asked in confusion:
"You have said so much, but all in all you mean the same thing - this is a very powerful book."
"So, why did that old man with the white beard give this book to me?"
"I can't even recognize the words!"
Shao Yu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "This time, you asked an interesting question."
Zhang Liang looked at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain, with a slight smile on his lips, and said meaningfully:
"Every question has a corresponding answer, and every answer will be revealed one day."
"The answer to this question, Tianming, I think you have to find it yourself."
"Oh..." Tianming curled his lips and responded nonchalantly.
In his opinion, Third Master didn't say anything at all.
"I think this book should be given to you, Third Master," Tianming said.
Although this book sounds very powerful, Tianming is not interested in those legends from hundreds or thousands of years ago, let alone books.
In his opinion, this thing is pure waste to him and has no use except causing trouble for himself.
"Haha..." Zhang Liang looked at Tianming with a smile and reminded him, "This is a gift from Senior Nangong, it is yours."
"You just need to remember one thing - so far, you already owe me two favors."
"Okay...I remember..." Tianming mumbled and asked with some confusion, "But, Third Master, why are you always thinking about the favor I owe you?"
"I can't help you with anything..."
"This... you don't need to worry about it." Zhang Liang replied, and the inexplicable smile hanging on the corner of his mouth made Tianming shrink his neck subconsciously.
He felt like he was getting cold all over now, so he decisively changed the subject:
"Then... what is the use of this heavenly book?"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he stopped talking about human relations and answered Tianming:
"Through it, mortals in the world are qualified to have a glimpse of the unfathomable secrets of heaven."
"By understanding it, mortals can gain magical power to turn the great wheel of the times that determines the destiny of the world."
"Determine... destiny..." Tianming couldn't help but murmured after hearing this.
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai, the Mohist stronghold.
Master Ban and a group of people gathered together again.
After receiving the Thousand Mechanics Copper Plate, Master Ban did not dare to delay for a moment and decoded it all night long. Even the seriously injured Thief Zhi only glanced at it briefly.
Finally, this morning, he successfully decoded the contents of the Black Dragon Scroll.
Then Master Ben quickly called everyone over.
Everyone gathered together, even Bandit Zhi, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling and was still semi-paralyzed, came to join in the fun and asked a big hammer to carry him a bed.
Master Ban didn't say anything. He handed the signature with the content of the scroll to Gao Jianli at the side and asked all of them to pass it around one by one.
Even Thief Zhi, Big Iron Hammer, who was lying outside the crowd, thoughtfully placed the signature in front of him and let him take a look.
There is very little content on the signature, just one sentence——
On this moon and this day, on the shore of Songhai, the mirage sets off, and the emperor is here!
It’s just sixteen words, but it’s worthy of being called the empire’s top secret.
This is also the reason why Master Ban keeps calling everyone for meetings.
The specific whereabouts of Ying Zheng is absolutely confidential information, and for the Mohist family, this information has a more important meaning.
After everyone read the contents of the dossier, no one spoke.
After a long time, Gao Jianli looked around at everyone and said:
"It seems it's time."
Master Ben gently stroked his beard, nodded and said, "It is indeed time."
"Ying Zheng attaches more importance to Mirage's voyage than we expected. This is an excellent opportunity."
The snow girl looked at everyone and asked, "What should we do about the mirage?"
Gao Jianli responded with a decisive tone, "Everything should be focused on the Qinglong plan, and everything else should be put aside for the time being."
Sledgehammer scratched his head and asked, "Then... what should we do next? Evacuate Songhai?"
Gao Jianli said nothing and looked at Master Ban, apparently wanting to ask Master Ban for his thoughts.
Master Ban stroked his beard and hesitated for a while, then said, "Xiao Gao is right, the Qinglong Project is the top priority and must not be delayed in the slightest."
"However, the situation in Songhai is very turbulent now. I don't know how many undercurrents and secrets are hidden. It would be unwise to evacuate here in too much haste. You may miss some important information..."
