Lang Xian pretended to twist a few beards mysteriously, and said proudly: "This ancient script is now not recognized by many people even among the nobles in the clan. In the early years, I happened to meet a teacher who was familiar with this way, I gave him a bowl of rice and a piece of cured meat every day, and he asked me to know one or two words every day, so I studied tadpole seal book with him for a period of time. However, such a lengthy text is so condescending that I cannot know the full meaning of this silk book. ”

Yuan Ji stared at the middle-aged man with a smug face in front of him with wide eyes, held back the anger in his chest, and asked viciously: "Then may I ask the military advisor, since you don't know what is written on this silk book, what are you proud of here?"

Lang glanced at Yuan Ji first, and still said proudly: "Although I can't read it all, I still have the ability to read a few words." And the few words I read out are precisely the key to the whole story. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yuan Ji became interested, pulled Lang Xian's sleeve and hurriedly asked, "Strategist, Strategist, tell me quickly, but I'm in a hurry." ”

Lang first pointed to a few words in the silk book and said: "General, please look here, these words say that Zhu Yuan's ancestors set up a temple in Shayue Valley. ”

Yuan Ji smashed his mouth and said, "We already knew this!

Lang Xian glanced at him again and said, "General, don't worry, listen to what Lang has to say." He went on to point to a few words from the following paragraph: "These words are to say: Under the moon, a man suddenly appeared in the temple, and then these words say: The mysterious man claims to be from outside the sky. ”

"And then?" Yuan Ji urged anxiously.

Lang Xian was not in a hurry, he was completely shocked by the contents of the silk book, and he muttered to himself: "The temple can actually communicate with other voids, this valley is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, and it has the ability to leap into the void under the light of the moon. It's incredible. ”

He continued to watch, and suddenly shook his head with regret on his face: "It's a pity, it's a pity! The Zhu Yuan clan panicked because of the arrival of the mysterious person, worried that their hidden whereabouts would be known to the world because of this, so... So..."

Yuan Ji pulled Lang Xian in front of him, pushed him a few times, and asked, "So what!

Lang Xian's eyes were full of nothingness, he was still immersed in unacceptable thoughts, and muttered in his mouth: "I actually buried the entire Covering Moon Valley!

Lang first raised his head and said to Yuan Ji with a look of disbelief: "The Covering Moon Valley is actually buried underground. ”

Yuan Ji jumped up happily when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said, "Finally found it! I said where did the Moon Covering Valley marked on this map go, it turned out that it was buried by the ancestors. Then he shouted out of the tent, "Come, call me in a few centurions." After the soldiers standing guard outside agreed to the "order", they ran to the other barracks to give the order.

Yuan Ji's voice woke up Lang Xian in confusion, he looked at Yuan Ji in a daze and asked, "Why did the general call people?"

This time, it was Yuan Ji's turn to say to Lang Xian with a smug face: "Find someone to dig out the temple!"

Lang Xian laughed out loud when he said this.

Yuan Ji looked at Lang Xian suspiciously, and asked, "Dare to ask the military advisor, why are you laughing?"

Lang Xian laughed louder and louder, and finally sat on the stool with his hands on his stomach, and asked Yuan Ji with a smile: "General! Do you know how big this valley is? The silk book says that Zhu Yuan's ancestors mobilized more than 100,000 people from all over the clan and spent a year hollowing out the soil and rocks on the two surrounding mountains to fill in this big valley. General, you want to dig up the temple again with a thousand of our men? Isn't that a hilarious thing?"

Hearing Lang Xian say this, Yuan Ji was also stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, what he said was indeed right, not to mention that it was far from enough to rely on this little bit of people in his hands, and it was impossible to support the excavation in terms of the current tension of grain and grass. But if you don't dig it, how can you find the temple and complete the mission entrusted by the big brother?

When Yuan Ji was pondering, there were bursts of footsteps in the tent, and a group of more than ten people quickly entered the big tent of the Chinese army, these were the centurions under Yuan Ji, and they quickly came to assemble when they heard the general's call.

Yuan Ji looked at the dozen centurions in front of him, they obviously learned something about the silk book, and they were all happy, but because of military discipline, they didn't discuss it in private, but they could still feel the feeling of new hope emanating from everyone.

Yuan Ji cleared his throat and said to his subordinates, "You should also have heard about the discovery of the Ancient Silk Book on the map. The ancient characters on this silk book have been deciphered by the military advisor, which roughly means that the reason why we did not find the Shaded Moon Valley at the end of the bluestone road we found before was because our ancestors of Zhu Yuan buried the temple along with the valley in order to hide their whereabouts. ”

At this point, everyone couldn't help but start whispering. In normal times, Yuan Ji would definitely scold them for ignoring military discipline, but today he didn't do so.

Yuan Ji raised his voice and said to everyone: "Originally, I called everyone here to let everyone immediately take people to dig the valley, but this project is huge, and it is beyond the ability of my spirit helmet. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Ji stopped, because he saw that the joy on everyone's faces just now was gone.

When the entire Chinese army tent was silent, Lang Xian patted his thigh and stood up.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and Yuan Ji also asked curiously, "The military advisor has already come up with a clever plan?"

Lang Xian shook his head and said, "It's not a clever plan, but it's a bit eyebrow-raising." ”

Everyone was interested again, and they couldn't help but gather around to listen carefully to what good plan their military advisor had come up with.

Lang Xian still twisted his short beard and muttered: "We can't dig up the entire valley, but we can dig a big pit! Since this valley was called the Valley of the Moon before, it must have something to do with the moon." It is also said in the silk book that the mysterious man jumped from the outer void on the day of the full moon, so this temple must have some different appearance on the day of the moon, we only need to check the land on the day of the full moon, and dig down in the place where there is a difference, and there will be something to gain. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited. The flame of hope that had just been extinguished in everyone's hearts was rekindled. Yuan Ji hurriedly asked, "Then when is the night of the full moon?"

Lang Xian looked up at the top of the tent, his mouth was full of words, and the fingers of his right hand kept pinching. After a while, Lang Xian said to everyone: "In five days, the full moon is coming. ”

Everyone fell silent again, and the whole army knew that the grain and grass in the army would last for two or three days at most, and the army would not be able to do anything after five days.

At this moment, a messenger outside the account reported loudly: "General Qiyu." The scout chief Dewey returned to the camp from the investigation, and important information was presented. ”

Yuan Ji shouted outside without hesitation: "Hurry up and report it." ”

In a moment, Dewey, who had a weathered face, entered the big tent of the Chinese army under the guidance of the communication, followed by a white-haired old man.

Yuan Ji looked at Dewey and asked, "Dewey, why did you leave half a day earlier than I did to return to the camp so late? Do you know what it is to return to the barracks late?"

Dewey knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and replied: "General Hui, our team has not gained anything from exploring along the road, so we got up and returned to the camp a day ago. But on the way, we were suddenly attacked by fierce beasts, and more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and in a panic, we were rescued by a group of people in the forest, and they formed a formation, advanced and retreated, helped us drive away the wild beasts, and brought our wounded brothers back to their villages, and we had to be rescued by the villagers to survive. ”

Yuan Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, there is such a thing, how can there be people living in this vast forest?"

Dewey continued: "General Mingjian, Dewey did not dare to lie. Their patriarch heard that an army of Zhu Yuan's descendants was stationed here, and he insisted on coming with me, saying that he had something important to tell the general. ”

Lang stepped forward first, pointed to the old man behind him and asked Dewey, "Is it this old man?"

Dewey glanced back and nodded yes.

Yuan Ji first held a junior salute, met the old man, and then asked softly: "Dare to ask where the old man came from?"

The old man knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed to Yuan Ji and Lang three times, and said with a crying voice: "General Qiyu, the younger one is the descendant of Zhu Yuanguo Yu Lin Wei, who has been guarding the Zhu Yuan Temple for generations by the edict of the first king. Ten years ago, a woman in purple approached us, claiming that an army of descendants of the Zhu Yuan clan would come to this jungle to find the Ancient Temple, and let us wait for the arrival of the army. At that time, the old man only thought that the woman had inhaled too much miasma, hurt her head, and was talking nonsense there. Since the Zhu Yuan clan moved out of this big jungle, where did they still have the strength to organize a large army? However, it was not until the day before yesterday when our villagers went out to hunt and collect medicine that they encountered soldiers fighting with wild beasts. Our people helped them drive away the beasts and bring the wounded warriors back to the village for treatment. After their introduction, they knew that it was really the descendants of the Zhu Yuan clan, and they said that this time the Zhu Yuan clan did their best to gather all the elites and set up this spirit helmet army, and they knew that the army was really coming. We also heard that the commander of the army was the descendant of the Yuan royal family, and the old man begged the little soldier to take the old man to see the general's true face, but what I didn't expect was that I could really see the general today. Halfway through the words, the old man couldn't cry anymore and couldn't help himself.
