Chapter 729: Differences of Opinion
"Impossible!" Mother Fox shook her head and said, "The people of the Five Poisons Sect never set foot on the coast. Even if there were people from the Five Poisons Sect under Wang Zhi's command, they wouldn't be top wizards, they wouldn't be able to do that. ”
The fox mother looked at me and said, "Wang Huan, in addition to these, what other information have you found?"
I flipped through the information and said, "I have been researching Wang Zhi's life in the past few days, and I have found that there are two places where I may be able to find some clues. ”
"First, it is Wang Zhi's self-proclaimed 'Wufeng Ship Owner', and he has also used the nickname of 'Wufeng Confucianism' in the East. If Wufeng is a place name, the current Wufeng County is in Hubei Province and has nothing to do with Wang Zhi. Why does he call himself the Five Peaks, I think there is a mystery hidden in the Five Peaks. ”
Second, before he died, Wang Zhi asked to see his son. And he gave the hairpin on his head to his son. It is unknown whether there is any secret hidden in that hairpin. However, I don't think Wang Zhi would make such a move for no reason. The treasure of Wang Zhi definitely exists. ”
I paused here and said: "There is another clue that is not a clue, that is, Wang Zhi has always been written as Wang Zhi in the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty. Ancient historians did not easily misspell a person's name. Unless it's something to avoid it, or it's done on purpose. I'm afraid there is some deep meaning to the three-point water next to the word king, right?"
The fox mother was silent for a moment before saying: "Wang Zhi is a native of Huizhou, ancient Huizhou is surrounded by mountains, and two-thirds of the population of ancient Huizhou lived in the Baiji Mountains, which is commonly known as Nanxiang. The main peak of the Baiji Mountains is the tip of the ship on the top of the Great Light. Will Wang Zhi's 'Wufeng Ship Owner' come from the tip of the ship?"
My brow twitched slightly: "Quite possibly." But ancient Huizhou is too far away from the coast, will Wang Zhi move the treasure back to Huizhou for storage?"
The fox mother said: "You can't use your thinking to measure the ancients, maybe Wang Zhi will have the mind of returning to the roots." Moreover, all bandits from ancient times to the present day have the idea of one day being able to wash their hands of gold. ”
If Wang Zhi also had such an idea, his hometown of Huizhou would definitely be the first place he chose, because no one would have thought that a pirate would run inland to live in seclusion. ”
The fox mother stopped at this point: "As for your second clue, I want to ......"
The fox mother organized the language and said: "There is no record of Wang Zhi's son in the historical materials. However, his adopted son, Mao Haifeng, united with the Japanese after Wang Zhi's death and invaded the coast. If you want to go to the coastal area to find clues, it is best to follow the route of Mao Haifeng's invasion of the coast. ”
"Mao Haifeng?" I found Mao Haifeng in the information.
When Wang Zhi was recruited by the imperial court, the Ming army had encircled and suppressed Mao Haifeng, but he could not attack Mao Haifeng's stronghold for a long time, suffered heavy losses, and finally Mao Haifeng took the opportunity to break through and escape.
After Wang Zhi's death, Mao Haifeng led the Japanese to invade the coast, and once conquered the Ming army camp. Although Mao Haifeng was rampant, he met his nemesis, the national hero Qi Jiguang.
Putting aside the war situation at that time, if Mao Haifeng was not just trying to take revenge on the Ming Dynasty court, then the coastal route he invaded must be related to Wang Zhi's treasure.
The key to this is Wang Zhi's golden hairpin.
In ancient times, it was a great sin to set oneself as the king of the Nine Clans, and Wang Zhi had to see his son before he was beheaded, which was not the same as letting his son throw himself into the net? Even if the court did not move Wang Zhi's son on the surface, could he secretly let go of a pirate's son?
Moreover, the golden hairpin that Wang Zhi took out when he was dying will inevitably attract the attention of many people. There must be someone who thinks that Wang Zhi has some secrets hidden in the golden hairpin, and the golden hairpin may have been made into a few sections to search for the secrets inside.
Wang Zhi, as a giant, would not have thought of this. Perhaps, Wang Zhi's secret is not hidden in the golden hairpin, but outside the golden hairpin. He took out the golden hairpin before he died, in order to send some kind of signal or hint to his companions who were hiding in the crowd to "watch the beheading".
The golden hairpin may represent a place name, or it may be a certain direction, or a certain person.
This secret is only known to a few people, and maybe Mao Haifeng is one of them.
When I was silent, the fox mother said again: "Two clues represent two choices, do you plan to go to the coast first, or go to Huizhou first?"
I looked at the fox mother and said, "We don't divide the army?"
We now have enough people to split into two groups and go in different directions, so we can save a lot of time.
"No!" the fox mother shook her head and said: "This mission is too close to the Gods and Demons Cemetery, although the Demon Gate is dormant, but the Detective Hand is in a very sensitive period, I have obtained accurate information, the Detective Hand suspects that there is a spy inside, and it is constantly being investigated." If we move too much, we will get the attention of the probe. It can also cause unnecessary trouble. ”
The fox mother said: "Besides, I still have a task to complete, this time I will take the old donkey, Xiao Qingtian and Shuangjiao to set off." Xiao Xia and Xin Yao sit in the research institute. The only things I can send to you are Ye Xun and the kitten, you have to be careful yourself. ”
I nodded, "I see!"
The fox mother is not a person who hides when she sees something, and her mission this time is definitely not a simple matter.
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to go to the coast first, after all, that's the center of Wang Zhi's activities." ”
The fox mother hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I suggest that you go to Guhui first." Although the two threads are compared to each other, the coast is more like the focus. However, the focus of our mission this time is not to find Wang Zhi's treasure. Instead, look for a way to lift the tulip curse. ”
"As far as I know, there were tribes in ancient Huizhou that worshipped snake totems. If you can find the witch clan living in seclusion in the mountains and directly lift the curse on Ling'er, you don't have to go to the coast again. ”
I nodded, "That's right, I'll go pack my things!"
What the fox mother said just hit one of my misunderstandings, my mission this time is not to explore the forbidden area of mythology, but to break the curse, why should I be obsessed with Wang Zhi's treasure, it is true to find a way to break the curse.
But after I stood up, I felt that something was wrong: "Fox mother, if we directly look for the snake totem, what are we doing with so much energy to study Wang Zhi in the first place?
The fox mother said angrily: "Xiao Qingtian, you told that idiot, why did you go to Huizhou first?"
"You can't blame Wang Huan for this, after all, he has been in the industry for a short time. Ren Tianqing defended me first before saying: "There is a saying in the hands of Tanshen: 'If you don't see the turbidity, you can find the root first.'" ’”
This means that if there are more than two clues at the same time, which one is clearer, go to find which one first. In this way, you may be able to continue to find other clues. ”
"If you have to follow that vague clue, you have to find the reason why the clue is not clear first, so that you don't have to go around in circles. ”
Ren Tianqing looked at me and said, "Can you understand what I mean?"
"I understand what you mean, but I always feel that Gu Huizhou and Ling'er's tasks are not next to each other?"
I crossed my fingers and said, "Think about it for yourself, the Tulip Ancestor is a pirate, he must have never been to Ancient Huizhou, right?"
"Wang Zhi has been floating on the sea for most of his life, and it is impossible for him to go inland after becoming famous. I don't think it has much to do with Huizhou. Moreover, now that there is a well-documented snake totem in Shandong, it is a legend at most in ancient Huizhou. Where is there a great witch in a place where the witch wind is not flourishing? ”
"If the witch wind prevailed in ancient times, the coastal area was still a little stronger than Huizhou, I think it would be better to go to the coast. ”
Ren Tianqing snorted: "But, can you find clues when you go to the coast? You can't drive a boat along the coastline, right?"
I smiled and said, "You have to go to the folk to find the folklore, you find a place with a boat and ask the sailors, don't you know? ”
Xia Qingqing also said at this time: "I think the fox mother's analysis makes sense, after all, the title of Wufeng Ship Owner should not be something that comes out of thin air." It is impossible for the sea to have such a terrain as five peaks, so you should go to Huizhou first, right?"
I insisted, "I still think I'm right." Shall we vote on it?"
The fox mother looked at me and said, "Wang Huan, at this time, there is no need for any vote. You are the highest commander of the group, and if you think it is right, don't be swayed by other people's opinions. ”
"My opinion, you can use as a reference. But don't let other factors stop you from thinking about it. It's like there can be a staff officer in the army, but the opinion of the staff officer is never an order, and the person who really gives the order is still the commander-in-chief. Do you understand what I mean?"
I ...... "I didn't know what to say for a moment."
The fox mother said: "Wang Huan, I know that you don't want to refute my opinion emotionally, and you also think that I am more experienced in terms of experience, but neither favor nor experience should hinder your judgment. ”
"If you can be swayed by these factors, then you will never be able to become a qualified general. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" I nodded, "Now let's go back and get our luggage, and we'll leave for the coast in ten minutes." ”
When I packed up my equipment and rushed to the parking lot, I saw the old knife group standing neatly in the parking lot, and the old donkey rubbed his hands and said, "Wang Huan!
When I was hesitating, the old donkey said, "I know, you don't like to take people out on a mission, so you take half of it, and the other half with me." What do you think?"
"Okay then!" my old donkey had already said this, and I would be a little slapped in the face if I didn't bring anyone with me, so I could only reluctantly nod.
But I heard someone say, "Commander, are we going to cooperate with them?"
