Snowball Mystery
"Don't worry, I still have something to ask you." Zhao Jin saw through Shen Ya's thoughts at a glance, rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, and pressed her back to her seat......
"What's the matter?" Shen Ya couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhao Jin's serious look.
"About the Lujiacun gold mine."
"Gold mines?" When Shen Ya heard this, there was a short circuit in her head for a moment, but then she seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized: "Oh, gold mine, I know." Speaking of which, Lujia Village is really a treasure land. Although the land there does not grow much food, it is extremely rich. The tone was very emotional.
"You know?" Zhao Jin didn't care whether Lujia Village was rich in products or not, as long as Shen Ya knew about the gold mine.
When Lao Xiu heard this, he was also surprised, but he didn't expect Shen Yatou to know about the gold mine.
"yes. The cinnabar in the snowball bag was found when I was looking for gold. By the way, how did you know about the Lujiacun Gold Mine? Has someone already found out and reported it to you? ”
"No, the old man found it when he went over there to collect medicine." Speaking of this, Lao Xiu touched his beard very proudly.
"Yes." Shen Ya nodded. The gold mine could be found by the old man, which was also expected by her. The old man originally loved to study medicine and medicine, and went in and out of the mountains and forests all the year round to collect precious herbs, and it was not surprising that he accidentally came across a gold mine or something.
"Since you know about the gold mine in Lujia Village, what else do you want to ask me?"
"Let me ask you, who else knows about the gold mine in Lujia Village besides you?"
When Shen Ya heard this, she thought about it carefully. Shaking his head: "I didn't even tell my mother and Yan'er about the gold mine." ”
"That's weird." Lao Xiu heard Shen Yatou say this, and he also touched his beard in confusion: "How did Old General Zhao know that there was a gold mine in Lujia Village?" ”
"You say General Zhao? Oh yes. At that time, the gold mine was the first to be discovered by Xiaohu. The little one may remember what I said, "There is a dansha on it, and gold on it." Go back and say that you leaked your mouth and sued Uncle Zhao for them. ”
"It's a possibility." Lao Xiu nodded, but agreed with this statement. "Now that everything has been figured out, Little Seventh Son, the next thing will be solved by you."
Zhao Jin talked about Xiaohu from Shen Ya. I was silent all the time, and when I listened to Lao Xiu's words, I finally opened my mouth and said a faint "um".
Shen Ya turned her head and looked at Zhao Jin's obscure face with some emptiness. I silently lamented in my heart whether I was too careless at the beginning, in order to avoid trouble, I didn't even mention my mother and Yan'er, but accidentally let Xiaohu, who was only five years old, listen. Caused so much unnecessary trouble today.
What do five-year-olds understand. I don't know what to say and what not to say. must have inadvertently written down what he said at the beginning and told Uncle Zhao about them.
The matter of gold mines is not big or small.
Looking at Zhao Jin's posture, he should want to swallow this gold mine alone? But since they are known to General Zhao, they will definitely report it.
When the time comes...
Thinking of this, Shen Ya looked at him slightly apologetically, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
After asking about the gold mine. Shen Ya was sure that there was nothing wrong with her, so she retired.
She had to go back and get ready. When can I go back to Lujia Village?
Seeing Shen Ya leave the study all the way, Zhao Jin retracted his gaze and turned to look at Lao Xiu, who was calmly drinking tea.
"Master, should you have anything else to say to your apprentice?"
Lao Xiu put down the teacup, smashed his mouth, and exaggerated: "Good tea, good tea!" Xiao Qizi's things here are good. ”
Zhao Jin pinched his eyebrows helplessly and said, "Master, do you know anything else about Ya'er's pet?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Jin seemed to be in a hurry, Lao Xiu didn't joke with him, his expression began to become a little strict, he pondered for a moment, sighed, and said slowly: "I don't want to hide this matter from you." Regarding the origin of Shen Yatou's divine beast, it is not as simple as I just said. It is a mythical beast that will bring disaster to the world. ”
"Bring disaster to the world?" When Zhao Jin heard this, he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, he knew that the master would never talk nonsense, if even he said that, then the animal in Ya'er's hand would indeed not be as simple as he thought. It's just that, in the final analysis, it's just a beast, even if he has the ability to raise dead people, flesh and bones, it will provoke people in the rivers and lakes to fight, but if it is said that it will bring disaster to the world, Zhao Jin can't believe it.
As Zhao Jin's master, Lao Xiu knew his apprentice's temperament very well, and he would never believe that a beast would have such great ability. He touched the beard on his chin, looked through Zhao Jin, as if he was reminiscing, and after a long time, he said quietly: "The old man knows that you don't believe it." If it weren't for the story that your master told me when he handed me the medical book on his deathbed, I wouldn't have believed it. This legend has to be traced back to more than 200 years ago, when this continent was not the world of the Zhao family alone, and it has been in a state of fragmentation. At that time, Nanban, also known as Nanguo, was a small but not small country. Although it was also ruled by the emperor, it was the high priest in the Nanban Temple who was really in power. The people of the southern kingdom revered the priests more than the emperors, and held a grand pilgrimage every year. They believed that the prosperity of the southern kingdom was blessed by the gods who had always been worshiped in the temple. And the priest was the only messenger who could communicate with God. Therefore, he was always convinced of the words of the priests. Just when the Southern Barbarian Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger, a priestess came out of the Southern Kingdom, and this priestess was recognized as a saint from the moment she was born, and she wanted to inherit the position of priest. But the night before the saint was about to be ordained a priest, she left the temple overnight with the holy relic of the southern kingdom, that is, the bell dragon in Shen Yatou's arms. By the time the Elder found her, Suzulong had grown into a divine beast that was feared by all beasts. It was as large as a tiger, with two deer-like horns on its head and eyes as big as a cow, but such a terrifying beast was as docile as a sheep in the face of the Holy Maiden. Some people in the House of Elders learned about the prophecy of the divine beast from the ancient books, and the one who gets the divine beast wins the world. ”
When Lao Xiu said this, he paused, looked up at Zhao Jin, and saw that his gaze was as deep as a dark tan, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
So he continued: "As soon as the divine beast appears, the world will be in chaos. The people of the House of Elders had a traitor and spread the news of the appearance of the divine beast, and soon, the people of the court and the rivers and lakes gathered in the southern country, intending to rob the divine beast. And the only thing that can summon the divine beast is the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden was originally the one who was about to inherit the position of high priest in the southern kingdom, and in order to prevent the holy woman from inheriting the high priesthood and using the divine beast to help the southern kingdom win the world, they united to besiege the southern kingdom. That battle was fought for three years, and the final result was a defeat for both sides. The power of the beast is indeed as described in the ancient book, terrible and abnormal, especially in the last battle, there is a dense forest near the southern country, the beast as the king of all beasts led all the beasts in the forest to dispatch, that battle is the battle between man and the beast, the battlefield has become the hunting ground of the beasts, where the soldiers are the opponents of those carnivores in the forest, all of them died under the sharp teeth and claws of the beasts.
