Liu Bei was full of food and drink, temporarily suppressed the nonsense, so he walked all the way through the streets and alleys and came to a small shop.

Glancing at the plaque that read 'Beibei Goods Store', Liu Bei glanced at his mouth and walked in.

"Yo, you're here, what do you want to buy?"

Liu Bei stood in front of the counter and smiled and said, "I heard that you have a thousand-year-old ginseng here, take a look." ”

The young man smiled and said, "This guest, we only have two hundred years of red ginseng here, do you want it?" ”

"Do you have white ginseng?"

"This one doesn't."

"This can be there."

"Then, please come with me and see for yourself."

After speaking, the guy led Liu Bei to the backyard, stopped in front of a house, and said inside: "Red ginseng is worth 100 yuan for 200 years." ”

Liu Bei bared his teeth, what kind of code word was this, but he had no choice but to say: "White ginseng cures weak bones, I am two hundred and five." ”

"Guests inside please!"

A voice came from inside the room.

The guy hugged his fist at Liu Bei, got up and went to the front to take care of the storefront.

Liu Bei lifted the curtain and walked in.

A middle-aged man had already walked to the door, saw Liu Bei come in, and asked "I don't know who it is?" ”

"I'm Liu Bei."

"I've seen the big boss, but I didn't recognize it when I met for the first time, and I hope to forgive me."

"It's okay, what do you call the shopkeeper."

"My surname is Wang Zimo, please take a seat."

Liu Bei sat down, and the prince Mo put on a pot of hot tea and poured it for Liu Bei, and then sat aside.

"I don't know why the owner came this time?"

Liu Bei picked up the teacup and took a sip and put it down, then said: "It's nothing, I just arrived in Jixian County, so come over to meet and get acquainted with it." ”

Wang Zimo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that you came, three days ago, the shopkeeper Zhang Da left for the Northland, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for the time being." ”

"I've read the letter and already know this."

Liu Bei replied, thought for a while, and then said: "Regarding the matter of doing business, I don't want to ask if Zhang Shiping is in charge, you can tell me about the recent Jixian County, is there anything worth noting?" ”

Wang Zimo thought for a moment, his eyes lit up and said: "You also know this, we have just launched such an action, and we can't get very valuable news in a short time.

However, I heard something last night. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Last night, a businessman in Jixian County who did a lot of business was burglarized at his house, and he only heard that some gold, silver and jade artifacts were lost, but he didn't report it to the official, but just sent his own family members to arrest him everywhere."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "This-what's so strange about this?" ”

Wang Zimo smiled and said: "If ordinary people are burglarized, it will be like this, but this family is different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The family's last name."

"Surname, what's the difference, hey, wait a minute, you don't mean that they are the descendants of the overlord, right?"

Liu Beigang pursed his lips a little unimpressed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked uncertainly.

Wang Zimo nodded, and had some recognition of this big owner who met for the first time, so he continued: "The current patriarch is called Xiang Kuo, who is very business-minded and very good at being a man, so the business is getting bigger and bigger.

As for the fact that he is the descendant of the overlord, he never admits it, but in fact, everyone has guesses and thinks it is. ”

Liu Bei nodded and continued to ask: "It's normal to lose something at home, is there something hidden in it?" ”

Wang Zimo stood up and came to the window, opened a small crack and looked outside a few times, then came to Liu Bei, and said in a low voice: "Is there a rumor that the owner knows?" ”

Liu Bei was not annoyed, he didn't know just didn't know, and he didn't like to pretend to be profound, so he asked curiously: "What rumors do you say?" ”

Wang Zimo then whispered: "Back then, the overlord entered Guanzhong with hundreds of thousands of troops, burned down Afang Palace, and sent someone to dig up that person's mausoleum......"

"Afang Palace burned for more than a month before the fire gradually went out, this is true, but dig graves? There are a lot of rumors, so it shouldn't be true, right? ”

"The artifact is considered ominous, useless, and criticized if it is known, and it is true that the average person would not do it—but if there is something else, and it is very attractive, do it or not?"

Liu Bei shook his head, I really don't know this, I am very satisfied with Jian Yong in my heart, this prince Mo I am looking for seems to have two times and can know a lot of news.

Wang Zimo then moved closer to Liu Bei's ears, and the hot air he exhaled tickled Liu Bei.

A big man leaned to his ear, Liu Bei's little heart was beating 'bang', a little annoyed, why are you so good, I can't stand it, hurry up.

Wang Zimo was in his early thirties, twice as old as Liu Bei, and when he saw Liu Bei's face flushed, he smiled secretly in his heart.

"This legend has been around for a long time.

Let's start with that one, why can he feel that his merits are higher than the three emperors, and his great achievements are more than the five emperors, so he calls himself the 'first emperor', there have been many speculations about this for hundreds of years.

The court has its own sayings, and the people also have their own sayings, which is the origin of this rumor. ”

"Really?"

Liu Bei looked at Wang Zimo with wide eyes, and his heart was itchy.

"This rumor came from the mouth of a traitor who escaped from a secret sect.

According to him, in the ancient period, the Gonggong War Zhurong angrily hit the Zhou Mountain, the sky fell northwest and the earth fell to the southeast, and since then most of the rivers have flowed eastward along the terrain.

After the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, the Tianhe poured into the world, and the earth was full of oceans, and the lives were devastated.

Nuwa Niangniang couldn't bear the suffering of all things in the world, so she took the five-sided divine stone and practiced it into a five-color stone to fill the hole in the sky, which returned the peace of the world. ”

Liu Bei nodded, maybe Nuwa Niangniang was so powerful at that time, otherwise how could she be admired for eternity, but that was the ancient era, not the present.

So he asked suspiciously: "Nuwa Niangniang is indeed worshipped, but what does it have to do with now?" ”

Wang Zimo smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to nod, indicating that he knew.

"At the beginning, after the Nuwa Niangniang five-color stone made up for the sky, it is said that because the great merit has been sanctified, go to the outside of the world to figure out the avenue, and there is no trace of it in the world, but the five-color stone is not all used up, and a few pieces are left, which are divided into the world.

One of them is the 'He's Bi' that he obtained, which is neither gold, nor wood, not water, not fire, and not earth, it is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, according to the five elements of heaven and earth, it represents the will of heaven, and it is more like the earth is inclusive and broad, so it is ...... to establish a dynasty."

"This is not right, the Qin Dynasty is the Shuide Dynasty."

"The Yellow Emperor is Tude, the Xia Dynasty is Mude, the Shang Dynasty is Jinde, the Zhou Dynasty is Huode, and the Qin Dynasty is Shuide.

Later, when he inspected Dongting Lake, the wind and waves suddenly rose, and he almost wanted to overturn the treasure ship, so he threw the 'He's Bi' into the lake and calmed the wind and waves.

In a few years, someone blocked the way and offered 'He's Bi' again, but when they returned to the Qin Dynasty, they were subverted in an instant.

Therefore, there is a legend that 'He's Bi' is white and flawless, that is, the five-color stone that is scattered outside, colorless - five-colored, jade is inclusive of all things, and it is colorless. ”

"That's not right, since it represents the favor of God, how could it be defeated by Gaozu in a short period of time to establish a great Han?"
