Seeing that Jiang Zhu remembered this, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you recognize the person who exchanged bronze medals with you?"

"I recognize it, it's Hu Laosan from Leprosy. Jiang Zhu said.

"Very good. Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, Jiang Zhen had said that most of the people in Leprosy Ridge were ugly, and he was planning to go to Leprosy Ridge after coming to Qingshan, and Jiang Zhu also confirmed that the person who was easy to exchange the bronze medal for him back then was from Leprosy, and he also knew the name of this person, so it was much easier to explore.

"But Hu Laosan has been dead for many years, and the saint can't find him. Jiang Zhu said.

"Expected," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "How many sides are there in that bronze medal?"

"Three-sided. Jiang Zhu said.

"Where is it now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"A few years ago, it was given to the city lord Jiang Xiu as a congratulatory gift. Jiang Zhu replied.

"How many years ago?" Wu Zhongyuan continued to ask.

"Five years, maybe six years, people are old, their memory is poor, and they can't remember clearly. Jiang Zhu shook his head.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had the intention of getting up, Wan Shanhong asked, "Why did you give those three bronze medals to Jiang Xiu as a gift, and what is the magic of those three bronze medals?"

Jiang Zhu turned his head to look at Wan Shanhong when he heard this, he didn't know Wan Shanhong, but even the Yongwang Jiang Zhen stayed outside the door, but Wan Shanhong was able to enter the house together, which shows that Wan Shanhong and Wu Zhongyuan have a great relationship, and when he thought of this, he never shied away from concealing it, and replied, "The three bronze medals are recorded in the method of alchemy, Jiang Xiu is proficient in the art of furnace fire alchemy, this thing may be of great use to him." ”

Wan Shanhong asked again, "You got the three bronze medals from thirty years ago, why didn't you give them to others until five or six years ago?"

Jiang Zhu was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and hesitated for a long time before he said, "The city lord has a birthday, every year I and others have to present a congratulatory gift, in the early years, there is still a position in the office, you can find a decent birthday gift, it is rare to grow things after the old family, so I can only give the three bronze medals as a congratulatory gift to the city lord." ”

Corruption has existed in all dynasties, and although Wu Zhongyuan was angry, he didn't show it, but just asked, "How did he react when you gave him the bronze medal?"

"Ecstatic, there are many gifts in return. Jiang Zhu said.

Hearing Jiang Zhu's words, Wu Zhongyuan and Wan Shanhong glanced at each other, Jiang Xiu's actions showed that he knew the value of the three bronze medals.

"Qi Qi Sheng, before giving the bronze medal to Jiang Xiu, the old decay had a rubbing. Jiang Zhu took the initiative to report.

Wu Zhongyuan was relieved and asked, "Where is the ruben now?"

Jiang Zhu got up tremblingly and went to the East House, Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wan Shanhong, who understood, stepped forward to help, and went to the East House with Jiang Zhu.

After a turning sound, the two came out of the east house, Jiang Zhu held a roll of cotton cloth in his hand, the cotton cloth had turned yellow, untied the rope, spread out, it was the rubbings of the three bronze medals, the content of which corresponded exactly to what the old blind man said.

Wu Zhongyuan looked at them one by one, re-tied them, and then took out two Qi Replenishing Pills and a Dark Blue Pill from his waist bag and put them on the table, limited by his talent, Jiang Zhu's cultivation in the past thirty years has been extremely slow, and he has only been able to cultivate Blue Qi so far.

"You keep these three pills," Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice, "Don't talk to anyone about our conversation today, otherwise it will harm our descendants." ”

Jiang Zhucheng was terrified, thanked again and again, and kept promises.

The two of them didn't stay long, pushed the door out, Jiang Zhen quickly greeted him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to Jiang Xiu's residence?"

Jiang Zhen's words illustrate two problems, one is that he heard the conversation between the two and Jiang Zhu, and the other is that this person rarely has a city government and will not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It is precisely because Jiang Zhen will not pretend to be deaf and dumb that Wu Zhongyuan likes this person, in fact, he knows very well that with Jiang Zhen's aura cultivation, Jiang Zhen can hear the conversation between the three of them from the house clearly, and the words he warned Jiang Zhu before were actually indirectly warning Jiang Zhen.

"Lead the way. Wu Zhongyuan nodded at Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen went first, and the two followed.

Since Jiang Xiu died not long after the battle, his family had not yet moved out of the city lord's mansion, so the three of them went straight to the city's mansion, and on the way they had a meeting with Jiang Guangping, the deputy city lord who rushed to hear the news, and the four of them walked together to the city lord's mansion.

Knowing that the Yellow Emperor was coming, Jiang Xiu's family was terrified, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything to them, and directly ordered Jiang Xiu's widow to take them to Jiang Xiu's storage place.

In modern terms, Jiang Xiu is a big corrupt official, Jiang Xiu's widow is a thief, and she is afraid and panicked, but the Yellow Emperor dared to deceive her in person, so she had to take the three to the secret room located under the mansion.

In the secret room are all kinds of things that Jiang Xiu has scavenged all his life, compared with modern corrupt officials, Jiang Xiu's greed for these things is not very much, but in the ancient period of material scarcity, Jiang Xiu was already a huge greed, Jiang Xiu's widow only thought that the three of them were here to raid the house, and fell to the ground in fright, shaking like chaff.

The three of them took matters into their own hands and rummaged through them, but they didn't find the three bronze medals for a long time.

The search was fruitless, Wu Zhongyuan moved his eyes to the widow, this person is around forty years old, since he knows the mechanism opened by the secret room, it means that the relationship with Jiang Xiu is still good, Jiang Xiu should not hide anything from her.

Upon inquiry, the widow really knew the whereabouts of the three bronze medals, and Jiang Xiu gave the three bronze medals to Jiang Zheng, the patriarch of the Niu clan two years ago.

Jiang Zhen has been stationed outside all these years, and his relationship with his father Jiang Zheng and his brother Jiang Tao is very ordinary, and he can hear the widow's words, turn his head to look at Wu Zhongyuan, and there is a lot of inquiry in his eyes.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, now that he has won the rubbings of the three bronze medals, the original is not so important, and there is no need to run to Lianshan again. What he is looking for is the Mixed Yuan Ding, and the bronze medal is from the Leprosy Ridge, and the focus of the search should be on the Leprosy Ridge.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Jiang Zhen looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling widow.

"This is your fiefdom, you can dispose of it at your discretion. Wu Zhongyuan said casually, thinking that Jiang Xiu had died in battle, and it was unkind and righteous to raid the family at this time, so he temporarily changed his mind, "That's it, the merits and demerits are offset, no reward or punishment, leave things for them." ”

"Obey the Holy Commandment. Jiang Zhen nodded in response.

The widow was so frightened that she even forgot about Xie En, and it wasn't until Jiang Zhen reminded her that she came back to her senses, kowtowed and pounded garlic, and burst into tears.

Wu Zhongyuan did not stay, and left the secret room with Wan Shanhong first, Jiang Zhen stayed behind, and warned Jiang Xiu's widow to keep her mouth shut and not to make a noise.

Leaving the city lord's mansion, Jiang Zhen said, "Leprosy Ridge is four hundred miles west of here, there are more than 200 people in the village, and the people in the world rumor that the reason why the people there are ugly and terrible is that they are suffering from leprosy, but we have sent people to check, they are not suffering from leprosy, but a strange disease that cannot be found. ”

Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, although he was in the ancient period, he had received modern higher education, and the curse was mostly nonsense, not to be believed.

"If there is no dispatch from the Holy Lord, the subordinates will go back?" Jiang Zhen said.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, Jiang Zhen knew that the two of them were going to Leprosy Ridge next, and he was worried that he would be in the way, so he would explain the situation and take the initiative to leave, which shows that Jiang Zhen is not a martial artist, and his brain is still very bright.

After groaning, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Don't be in a hurry to go back to Xiaoshan, you work hard, go to Lianshan to find out the whereabouts of the three bronze medals." ”

"Good. Jiang Zhen nodded.

"Go early and come back early, and we'll go back to Xiaoshan later today. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Jiang Zhen nodded again, and the three soldiers divided into two roads, Jiang Zhen went north, and the two went west.

Leaving Qingshan, Wan Shanhong said, "Jiren has his own heavenly help, and this trip is very smooth." ”

"If I didn't find the mixed Yuan Ding, I didn't dare to say that it was smooth," Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Wan Shanhong, "What kind of place is Leprosy Ridge?"

Wan Shanhong shook his head, "Leprosy Ridge is located in the Western Desert, and I rarely come here on weekdays. ”

Wu Zhongyuan said, "You also heard what Jiang Zhen said just now, the ancestors of the people of Lefeng Ridge made a living by stealing graves, and the three bronze medals in Hu Laosan's hand were probably brought out by him or his clansmen from a certain mausoleum." ”

Wan Shanhong glanced at Wu Zhongyuan and did not say anything.

Wu Zhongyuan said again, "If this is the case, Mixed Yuan Ding will be buried in an ancient tomb five thousand years ago. ”

Wan Shanhong didn't answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but said, "The people of Leprosy Ridge are likely to have suffered the curse of Chaoyuan Ding. ”

"Why do you say this?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled.

"How much do you know about Mixed Yuan Ding?" Wan Shanhong asked rhetorically.

"Not much. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"The Mixed Yuan Ding can refine the ninth-order pill of Tiange, but at the same time, it also brings endless killing and plunder," Wan Shanhong said, "This Ding can balance yin and yang, neutralize the five elements, and all things containing spiritual energy can be put into it and turn into qi replenishing pills, in order to snatch the Heavenly Treasure and the Alien Inner Pill, you can imagine what will happen." ”

Hearing Wan Shanhong's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, according to Wan Shanhong's words, the mixed Yuan Ding is like a corpse furnace, and people who practice qi will snatch and kill everywhere in order to obtain the qi tonifying pill to improve their cultivation.

"Mixed Yuan Ding is not only extremely yin, but also has the resentment of the undead, and everyone in Leprosy Ridge must have been cursed by the undead. Wan Shanhong said.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "The people in Lefeng Ridge have been ugly for a long time, according to what you said, they should have entered the mausoleum where the mixed Yuan Ding was sealed many years ago, and the three bronze medals were not brought out by Hu Laosan himself." ”

"It's possible. Wan Shanhong nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan did not argue with Wan Shanhong, the two were riding birds to Leprosy Ridge at this time, and the specific situation will soon be known.

Leprosy is very easy to find, it is a cottage built by the mountain, different from the ordinary village sitting in the north and facing south, the village of Leprosy is sitting in the west and facing east, the houses in the village are very dilapidated, the fence outside is also damaged, the people in the village are cooking dinner when the two arrive, the sun is setting, the cooking smoke is swaying, there are many dilapidated and bleak.

The stockade was surrounded by a wooden fence and an exit from a gatehouse, and the dilapidated gate was open and unguarded.

The arrival of the giant eagle alarmed the people in the stockade, and they came out of the house one after another, walked into the open area and looked east.

Fortunately, Wu Zhongyuan was mentally prepared in advance, if he didn't do so, he would have been frightened by these people, the people in Leprosy Ridge not only had ugly faces, but also had many disabilities, and the dozens of people who came out were only seven or eight normal.

"This is a group of cursed people. Wan Shanhong looked at everyone.

"No, it has nothing to do with the curse. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head slowly.

Wan Shanhong was puzzled and tilted his head to look at him.

"It's a genetic mutation caused by severe radiation. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What?" Wan Shanhong naturally didn't understand Wu Zhongyuan's words.

"It's nothing, let's go, go in and see ......"
