Han Zongwei once asked Huo Lao what this was, and the answer he got was - Jiaolong marrow.

He suddenly scoffed, Jiaolong marrow? Is there such a thing as a dragon in this world? Even if there is, how can Jiaolong be so easy to deal with? Can you dig up its dragon marrow to light the lamp?

No kidding!

Since then, Han Zongwei doesn't care what it is, it's just a lighting anyway, just treat it as ordinary kerosene.

As Huo Lao walked step by step, the copper lamps on both sides of the corridor lit up by themselves, illuminating it as bright as day, but it was not dazzling.

At first, Han Zongwei was very surprised by this, but later after Huo Lao's explanation, he learned that this was originally a simple use of tricks.

And those copper lamps not only play the role of lighting, in fact, they are connected to some mechanisms behind them, and when necessary, you can move the copper lamps to activate the mechanisms.

And this corridor is not as harmless and easy to walk as it seems on the surface, if it is changed to a stranger, maybe it doesn't take a few steps and accidentally triggers the mechanism below and kills.

However, Han Zongwei doesn't know how many times he has gone, even if he closes his eyes, he can guarantee that he will not make mistakes.

At the end of the corridor is a huge stone gate, and in front of the stone door there are two lifelike and majestic stone lions, which are carved by Huo Lao specially begging his old friend Zhou Yin, a stone carver.

The main part of the two stone lions is carved from Yunxiu rock, Yunxiu rock color is like jade, the texture is firm, the tentacles are warm, smooth and delicate, it is the leader in the carving material, and ordinary people want to get a piece of the palm size.

But Huo Lao is used to carve stone lions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tyrannical thing. If you let the people outside know, I don't know how many people will beat their chests and feet, and their eyes will be red and their ears will be hot.

That's not all, the key is that the two pairs of eyes of the stone lion are extremely smart, moist and spiritual, just like the real one, and from different angles, it makes people feel that the eyeballs are looking at themselves.

And the material of these four eyeballs is also terrifying, all yin and yang stones!

Yin-Yang stone has the purpose of gathering qi to block the fortune of the town, and it is the treasure that feng shui masters dream of. If any Feng Shui master can get a Yin Yang Stone, then the level of the formation can immediately rise several levels.

It is an ornament with a yin and yang stone placed in front of the door of an ordinary shop, and it is also a simple matter to make a lot of money.

However, such a precious treasure was placed in the eyes of the stone lion, and it was really a good thing for nothing.

Every time he walked in front of the two stone lions, Han Zongwei had to spend a lot of effort to suppress the ** in his heart that he couldn't pull off the four yin and yang stones.

There is such a loser master, he feels that it is both his luck and his misfortune.

Because Old Man Huo would rather waste a lot of money on these dead things than give him a little bit of alms, the only apprentice. When facing him, he was stingy with all kinds of picking, and sometimes he couldn't wait to just throw it away.

Huo Lao walked in front of the stone lion on the left, directly put his hand into its mouth and pounded it a few times, and the heavy stone door in front of him opened in response.

The situation inside the stone gate was so unexpected that it was completely unaware that it was a building built in the belly of a mountain, and it was no different from the courtyard outside, except that it was darker.

The house has three entrances, spacious and spacious, and the house is tall. As soon as you enter the door, you will find a misty natural hot spring pool, and the fire lotus pavilion inside is in full bloom and is stunningly beautiful.

There is a zigzag wooden plank bridge built above the pond, and when you walk across the wooden bridge, you can really enter the courtyard.

Han Zongwei placed Jiang Yi in the guest room in the front yard, and Lao Hei followed him every step of the way, and after he left, Lao Hei directly lay down in front of the bed to guard Jiang Yi.

Huo Lao entered the refining room by himself.

As soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to take out the dagger that came from Jiang Yi's hand, his eyes lingered on the dagger obsessively, and sometimes he stretched out his hand to stroke it, as if he was treating his lover.

The more he looked at it, the more he loved it, and the more excited he became, muttering to himself from time to time.

"Tsk, look at this texture, this color, this treasure light, it's really amazing!"

"Ah, it's so sharp, it's really blowing short hair! I didn't expect that there would really be someone in this world who could create such a divine weapon. ”

Huo Lao flicked his fingers on it, and in an instant, a clear sound came out.

"Its sound is right, and its color is clear...... Treasure dagger! The joy on his face couldn't be stopped.

It's just that soon his expression is a step, "Alas, it's a pity, such a baby, why isn't it mine!" ”

Huo Lao held the dagger tightly and walked around the refining room, his mood was extremely depressed, his eyes lit up, and he muttered: "I saved that kid, he has to say something."

"I don't expect him to give me the dagger, such a treasure, I'm afraid that no one is willing to let go, so let him lend it to the old man for my details, he shouldn't refuse, right?"

Then he was justified again, "Hmph, it's useless to refuse, who told me to save this kid's life." ”

Not to mention what happened to this Jiang Yi, Li Changyuan only stayed at home for one day, and the next day, before dawn, he was carrying the heavy responsibility assigned by his grandfather, and left Yongzhou with a group of secret guards and light cars, and hurried to Qingzhou.

Arrived in Yong'an County in a hurry, Li Changyuan couldn't take a break, and after tidying up a little, he rushed to Taohua Village, Qingxia Town, Yishan County.

For some reason, he was always worried about this journey, thinking that this trip might not be so smooth.

After the result finally arrived, his premonition came true, and the little aunt's family was gone! And the people in the village don't know a few of them, so they don't know where they're going.

Li Changyuan's head was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and after looking around the room, he also came to the same conclusion as Jiang Yi before, thinking that Jiang Rong and the others left by themselves.

In this way, he was a little relieved.

The moment he entered the door and saw the empty room just now, he almost thought that someone had learned the news in advance and robbed the little aunt and the others!

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, thinking that the first task now was to find out where the little aunt and Ah Rong had gone, and find them! So he can't mess with himself.

Walking out of the courtyard, Li Changyuan called: "Moyang." ”

In an instant, a man in black appeared silently beside him, bowed down, and waited for his command.

Li Changyuan took out a thumb-length red bamboo tube from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said, "Go and hand it to Qin Yijian quickly." ”

"Yes." Mo Yang took the bamboo pipe, and his figure disappeared into the air in a flash.

This kind of bamboo pipe is used by Li Changyuan's chamber of commerce to convey news, and there are three colors of bamboo pipes, which are cyan, yellow, and red according to the urgency of the matter.

What he took out just now was the red bamboo pipe that would only be used when the situation was most urgent, and it contained the task note he had written down in a special font, which was to let the major stores of the Chamber of Commerce under his name pay attention to the whereabouts of Jiang Rong and the others, and once there was news, report it immediately!

Qin Yijian was in charge of intelligence in his Chamber of Commerce, and helped him deal with the information collected by the major stores under the name of the Chamber of Commerce every day.

Li Changyuan had never been so glad that his shops were all over the Great Qi Dynasty as he was at this moment, and he believed that as long as Ah Rong and them entered the town, he would be able to know their whereabouts.

I just hope that they really left the house on their own initiative, as he thought. If not—

Li Changyuan put his hands behind his back, clenched into fists, and tried his best to control himself to think on the good side.

Yangzhou border, Danyang County.

On the official road outside the city, two seemingly ordinary carriages slowly drove one after the other, and it was Jiang Rong and his party.

Jiang Rong lifted the corner of the curtain slightly and looked out, and suddenly his heart was shaken, and he was dizzy, only to see that the city wall (zu) was like a broken bank, like a long cloud, really majestic!

Danyang County is located at the junction of Qingdao and Yang Prefectures, and does not belong to either of the two states, so it is not under the jurisdiction of Qingdao and Yang Prefectures. And because it borders the country of Nishiga to the west, it can be described as a three-way zone.

This special geographical location also contributed to the special political status of Danyang County, which was an area independent of the rule of the Great Qi court.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this special that Danyang County attracts businessmen from all over the world, making its economy very prosperous and developed.

The relationship between Xihe and Daqi has been good and bad, and it is not without the outbreak of war between the two countries in history. And if Xihe Guo wants to attack Daqi, he must first break through the defenses of Danyang County.

Therefore, the defense of Danyang County has always been valued by the emperors of successive dynasties, not only sent a large number of troops stationed here, but also did its fortifications in place.

If you can look down from above, you can see that the whole of Danyang County is like a creeping giant beast, it is always so silent, but as long as the strong enemy attacks, the giant beast will rise strongly in a moment and attack fiercely!

The solemn and winding city walls like cangshan are covered with thick red mud, which shines smoothly in the sunlight, like a layer of gorgeous red armor.

The gates are made of black magnets, which are very strong and strong, and the defense is so strong that it is difficult to break through even with the strength of ten thousand forces.

The carriages of Jiang Rong and the others followed into the city one after the other, and it was almost noon, and the streets were still very lively, with vendors on both sides lined up one after another, and goods from all over the state and even foreign countries were peddling here.

The streets are full of cars and horses, axles colliding with each other, pedestrians rubbing shoulders, and there are sometimes people of different races with high noses and dark eyes and different hair colors passing through the crowd.

In the air, drums, cross talk, storytelling, talking, selling, juggling, singing and dancing, musical instruments and other sounds are mixed together, the noise is shocking, and the sound is in the ears; There are also various smells such as wine, food, snacks, candy, and fumes, which are mixed together and hook people's noses.
