229 Seventy-one graves
Chapter 229: Seventy-one Mounds
Rakshasa doesn't leave, Qi Changtian can't say anything about driving people. They were silent for a long time, and were about to ask about the Jin family, when the second housekeeper and the prince came back.
Rakshasa identified the second butler and said that he had gone with a large group of men and horses to run errands.
Before the second housekeeper could speak, the prince said first: "Impossible, he has been with me all the time." It's impossible to get out of town. "There is also a large group of men and horses here, and I don't dare to recognize who the people and horses are.
The second housekeeper did not defend himself, but said: "This big team haunts people, and they can't hide it." Just ask us and you'll find out......"
yes, you can't fool anyone.
So what's going on?
The second housekeeper didn't give Rakshasa a chance to speak again, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the little one has something important to report." ”
Qi Changtian saw the eyes of the second housekeeper, so he got up and went to the inner room: "You come with me." ”
Only the Rakshasa and the prince were left staring at each other.
The second butler followed up and said in a low voice: "The sea has not been very peaceful recently, and several trading houses have seen the large fleet ......."
Brother Guan had already said this matter just now, Qi Changtian nodded: "I know, is there anything else?"
The second housekeeper's voice was quieter: "Recently, I heard some rumors, and some people are also looking for what the master is looking for, it seems to be related to the capital. ”
Qi Changtian's eyes widened in astonishment: "You know in the capital?"
"Yes!" the second butler looked out, "the Rakshasa is in a big fight, it is said that he slaughtered the people of a town, just to find ...... So, how can it be hidden. ”
But Rakshasa came, swearing that the thing was found, but it was taken by the second housekeeper and the fifth child. The face of the second housekeeper can't be hidden in Fuzhou, where it appears, where it doesn't appear, whether it goes out of the city, it's easy to check. Therefore, he said that if he didn't leave the city, he must not have left the city. So what's going on with the Rakshasa side?
The second housekeeper said in a low voice: "I can't blame her, I think she didn't see me in person?"
These words seem to be words to defend Rakshasa , but it also shows the fact that Rakshasa is no longer willing to take action in person for such a thing.
Qi Changtian didn't say anything else, only waved his hand, "You go out, you still have to inquire about it, as for the rakshasa, if you tell her, just say it...... I'll look into this matter and give her an answer. ”
The second housekeeper came out of it in response, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Rakshasa glanced inside, threw up his sleeves and walked away, not giving the second butler a chance to speak at all.
The second butler insisted on chasing out, and only then did he retract his gaze when he watched the Rakshasa get on his horse and gallop away.
Brother Guan followed: "Dad, master......"
Who this master is asking, the two of them know it.
The second housekeeper replied vaguely, and then reprimanded: "Busy with your going, don't inquire if you shouldn't ask." ”
At this time, Wu Niang had already left the dock in Fuzhou and arrived on the island smoothly by boat.
There was no news of him this time, and he was almost scared to death.
When Li Sen saw her, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The prince's letter arrived yesterday, but I can't find you, if you have three long and two short, how can you tell the minister to go back and explain to the prince." ”
"It's okay! Isn't this a good return?" Lin Yutong helped him up and immediately changed the topic, "How did you learn from Jin Heng? The new ship has to be used by our own people, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness." ”
Li Sen got busy and reported in detail, and as he spoke, he took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Wu Niang, "The prince sent it." ”
Wu Niang took it casually, didn't rush to look at it, and asked again: "Did you pick out the fifty people you picked?"
"Pick it out, you can see it at any time. Li Sen hurriedly said.
That's good!
Then go down.
No one had the extra to ask where the two guards who followed the master went, only Chun Leek and Haishi followed back.
When I came back, I washed up, ate and lay down to read the letter from Song Chengming, nothing special, a piece of nonsense, all I wanted to say was two words - like you.
got up and wrote back to Song Chengming, telling him not to worry, and then roughly explained the situation on this island, and then closed the conversation. It's not that I don't want to say more, it's that I have something in my heart today.
Hit the shore from Xiyang Village, followed by Yuyang Town, and then the Sea King Temple, is Yizhuang, this has just stopped, and there is a mysterious eliminated town, going around, can't get around the East China Sea King, can't get around something hidden by the East China Sea King.
There are actually not many ways to go down this line. But so many people are looking around this area, what are they looking for?
At this time, she suddenly discovered one thing, that is, as a member of the Jin family, she had never worshiped the ancestors of the Jin family except for kneeling on the spiritual seat. Where is the mausoleum? On the island? If this is the case, the old man will take himself to worship that day. If not, where would it be on the island?
She had a faint answer in her heart, and she sent Shihua: "Go and call Jin Heng, right away." ”
Jin Heng came quickly, "Little master, do you have something to order?"
"Where is my mother now, I want to see her. Thinking of a possibility, she didn't want to stay for a moment.
Jin Heng's expression was very strange, and he sighed for a long time before he said: "I received a letter from the island before, saying that the little master came back to give a message to the family, and as soon as the little master came back, I let the sea eagle who delivered the message out." ”
The sea eagle was specially trained to pass on the letter to the Jin family, and others couldn't use it at all.
It turns out that my mother is also anxious to see herself. It seems that the old housekeeper handed over the box to the mother, and the mother also knew that only she could open the box.
In that case, let's wait.
She sent Jin Heng down to rest, and her heart calmed down.
The next day, Kim Shuang-gyu and Kim arrived. The two didn't get off the boat, but called Wu Niang to the boat. At this time, there was also an old man with white hair and white beard on the boat, who else could it be if it wasn't the old Taoist priest of the Sea King Temple?
"Mother, uncle!" Wu Niang made a salute and greeted the old housekeeper: "Your old legs and feet are dexterous enough." ”
Jin glared: "Put away your scoundrel energy for me, what do you look like." ”
Wu Niang sat next to her uncle: "You and my uncle, are you missing me?"
Jin Shuangjiu reached over and rubbed her head: "You kid, look at your motherhood!"
"What's angry?" Wu Niang squinted at her, "I'm not angry, she's angry." It doesn't make sense!"
Jin glared: "What are you angry about? Come! Tell me, what kind of anger are you angry with!"
Wu Niang laughed, followed by a pout: "Do you still need to say it?" keep saying that the sons and daughters of the Jin family are the same, but in fact they are still different. ”
"Hey, this damn girl!" Jin wanted to pull his ears when he went up, but Jin Shuangjiu stretched out his hand to stop him: "The family has given you less? ”
"You don't have anything to hide from me?" Wu Niang glanced at the old housekeeper: "Then tell me, where is the ancestral grave of our Jin family?"
Where is the ancestor of the Jin family buried?
The Jin family gave up, but the old butler was obviously stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head in disguise.
Jin and Jin Shuangjiu glanced at each other, and Jin Shuangjiu smiled: "You are smarter than your brother." Your brother only asked in the third year after he went to the island, and you only asked how long it was. Look, it's more spiritual than your brother. ”
Don't dare!
Wu Niang sighed: "Xu is really destined." I was just taking a boat to take a casual look, but who knew that I would float to Xiyang Village...... And then all the way through can be called ...... Legend. If it weren't for the destined, I really don't know how to explain it. ”
The old housekeeper got up and bowed to Wu Niang: "The little master atons for his sins......"
Wu Niang hurriedly got up, but knelt down in front of the old housekeeper seriously: "Your old man is above, I should thank you." As he spoke, he kowtowed without saying anything, which made the old housekeeper at a loss, looking at Jin's face for help.
Jin looked at his kneeling daughter, his face was also a little moved, and he raised his hand to stop what the old butler was about to say, and only said, "You old man sitting, you should accept this salute." ”
Wu Niang kowtowed again, "The momentum of the East Sea King can have today is the result of the careful management of you and elders like you......" Guan San said those things, all the people around him ask for help or believe in the Sea King Temple, as long as they ask for something, they will respond. It is said that the king of the East China Sea has appeared to his old man, so of course, it is not wrong. If it weren't for the spring breeze of the East China Sea King back then, there would not be so many people guarding the Jin family today, bringing timely rain to the descendants of the Jin family. They stayed there, worked diligently, and stayed in it all their lives. Without them, it would still be possible to remember the King of the East China Sea so vividly. This is more than an intangible but incomparably precious asset, which these old people have spent their whole lives hard to manage. Such an old man who has dedicated his life to the Jin family in obscurity, can't he afford this great gift?
The old housekeeper suddenly burst into tears, and stretched out his hand to help Wu Niang: "If the old master is alive...... If the old master is alive, I don't know how happy I should be to see the little master like this......"
This old master must not be talking about the ancestor.
Jin took out the small box and handed it to his daughter: "The things left by the ancestor before were opened by you." Now, this thing, I'm afraid that only you can open it. ”
The old housekeeper and Jin Shuangjiu both looked at Wu Niang excitedly, Wu Niang took the box and didn't rush to open it.
Jin sighed: "The Jin family...... There is no ancestral grave ......" she pointed to the sea outside: "After everyone in the Jin family dies, they are just a handful of ashes, and then scattered in this vast sea......"
Wu Niang looked at the old housekeeper: "That Neptune Temple...... Is it a mound of clothes?"
It can be counted.
The old butler coughed lightly: "...... This piece is close to the sea, so it is said that the ancestor was buried here...... The approximate place is also correct, it is near Yuyang Town...... But the ancestors' clothes and mounds back then were more than this......"
Wu Niang was stunned, what does this mean?
More than once? How many places is that?
"Seventy-two?" is compared with Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful graves?
The old butler coughed again: "Not as much as seventy-two." ”
How many places are that?
"Seventy-one...... Just seventy-one ...... "The old butler himself was embarrassed."
Wu Niang: "......" has to say that the ancestor is modest and feels that he is not as good as Cao Cao?
For a while, she lost interest in the box in her hand all of a sudden, and she always felt that she was being played by an old naughty boy!
