Chapter 53: Tomb Robbery
In the northeast corner of the restaurant, six men were sitting at a round table and talking in whispers.
They kept their voices low, and when they spoke, they looked around with a very cautious look. The clothes of these six people are Hanfu in the Spring and Autumn Period, with the style of Confucius and Mencius. This is very different from the style of clothing worn by the people of Gangnam Province.
"Henan Province has jurisdiction over one government and 29 prefectures, and almost the entire territory of Shandong is in Henan Province. Could it be that these people are from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius? Shandong's gold-touching and inverted sect...... Interesting! ”
In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin divided the world into ten realms at the beginning of his accession to the throne. And the state and county system is mainly used, which is very different from the modern geographical division. Lu Xin has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than two years, and he is still very familiar with the map of the Tang Dynasty. Henan Province has jurisdiction over almost the entire territory of Shandong, the most famous of which are Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou and other places. And Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, is in Yanzhou.
However, as far as Lu Xin knows, Henan Province does not have a particularly strong civil force. Moreover, these people in the restaurant, claiming to be Captain Jin, are brothers from the same sect.
The man known as "Senior Brother Cao" was shoulder-high and looked less than thirty years old. The temperament is elegant, whether it is picking dishes or drinking, it gives people a very noble feeling. Lu Xin had seen many wealthy businessmen and local officials when he was in Xufu, but none of them had the temperament to compare with this "Senior Brother Cao".
It was a self-confidence that overflowed from the bones, as if it had been precipitated in the blood for thousands of years. Even Xu Sanjin, who is rich enough to rival the country, has to bow his head in front of this person.
"Senior Brother Cao" picked up the wine glass and took a sip, shook his head, and put down the chopsticks. Although he didn't show any expression, it could be seen from his slightly furrowed brows that he didn't like the table of wine and food in front of him.
"Third brother, senior brothers, junior brothers. Cao has always acted cautiously, if he is not nine times out of ten sure, how can he let you accompany me on the adventure? As for the origin of this news, the stakes are so high that it is indeed inconvenient to say. But Qin Xiao's ancestral home was in Poyang Town back then, and his master was a retainer of the ancestors, so there would be no mistake. Taking a step back, even if there is no whereabouts of Si Tianbu Zhou Yan in the tomb. With Qin Xiao's cultivation back then, how could he not have a few treasures? ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Cao Fu is the Prime Minister of Cao, and he is from a noble background, so he will not speak falsely. Senior Brother Liu, don't ask again. ”
Sitting in the center of the six was a big man with a black face, tall and looking the oldest, probably between forty and forty-five years old. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent and nodded their heads.
"What the senior brother said is extremely true! Alas, it's not like I'm trying to ask anything. I really stayed in Raozhou City for too long, and I was about to get sick. I miss Liu Shan, since I entered the Yishui Pavilion, I have studied art for many years, but I have never been to the tomb. I don't know what the master and his old man think, there are so many princes and generals who don't enter the tomb, waiting for others to dig it! ”
"You, you, you've been in a hurry since you were a child, and the master won't let you go to the grave, it's really for your good. Although there are many tombs left by previous dynasties, the danger in them is not something that ordinary people can bear. Master, his old man touched the gold and fought all his life, and in the end, he didn't fall into the way of the dragon refining corpse coffin? ”
……
Although the six of them were just chatting, these contents fell into Lu Xin's ears, but they gave him great interest. Not to mention Si Tianbu Zhou Yan, one of the five great divine soldiers, the identity of "Cao Fu" alone is enough to shock people.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Guan Chen, retainer...... This person in a yellow robe, is it really a descendant of Cao Cao? ”
After Lu Xin learned the news of the five great gods, he went to check the history books. Among them, Guiguzi and Huangshi Gong are both characters before the Qin and Han dynasties, and they are too old and very mysterious. Not to mention Lu Xin, who is the sect leader of the various sects, I am afraid that I don't know much about the deeds of these two people. But for the other two, Lu Xin still knows a little. He has been familiar with the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, and he is no stranger to Zhuge Liang and Guan Lu.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house and invited Wolong. The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, six out of Qishan, five zhang origin of the seven-star lamp to continue life, has long been a god through the ages, needless to say. As for Guan Qi, although he is not as famous as Zhuge Liang, he is also a warlock in the Three Kingdoms period, and his achievements are also peerless.
This person is proficient in Zhou Yi, astronomy and geography, divination and physiognomy, feng shui is good, and all are subtle. And arithmetic is like a god, and the book "Zhou Yi Tongling Jue" has always been regarded as the supreme classic of Taoism. Although ordinary people only know Zhuge Liang and do not remember the name of Guan Zhi. But how low will a person who can refine a "divine weapon" be?
If other people were talking about Guan Yan and the whereabouts of Si Tianbuzhou Yan, Lu Xin would naturally scoff at it. But if Cao Fu is really Cao Cao's descendant, it is another matter.
Don't look at our Prime Minister Cao Cheng being scolded like a dog by later generations, but from a certain point of view, his achievements in the Three Kingdoms are far above Zhuge Liang. Even immortals like Guan Lu have worked under him, which shows the power of the Cao family.
"No wonder he has such a temperament, he is from the emperor's family, how can he get used to the food of this ordinary restaurant."
Lu Xin took two mouthfuls of green vegetables and put them in his mouth, sneering again and again. At the same time, Cao Fu sighed and whispered: "Some time ago, the crossing of the underworld soldiers caused a lot of uproar in the world. In the areas of Xuanzhou, Chizhou, and Raozhou, there are a large number of onmyoji. I heard that Ao Tian escaped into the depths of Lingyang Mountain and wantonly absorbed the power of the dragon vein, if he didn't stop it, the realm within a radius of hundreds of miles would definitely suffer from it. This area is the territory of the Upper Xuantian Sect, and Yan Fu is now in the limelight, sending thousands of disciples south. If we act in a high-profile manner, we risk getting caught on fire. Therefore I waited many days for you to act. ”
"I see, no wonder Senior Brother Cao asked me to go out as little as possible. I heard that half a month ago, Huang Yuyi of the Xuantian Sect was seriously injured by a fox demon, and this matter is also related to Miao Jiang, I don't know if it's true or not. Huang Yuyi's cultivation has been realized three years ago. In this world, there are probably not many people who can hurt him, right? ”
"Hehe, what's so strange. Most of these monsters are born with heterogeneous species and have an extremely long lifespan. As long as you live for a thousand years, you will at least have the cultivation of returning to the micro realm. But if the matter is really related to Miao Jiang, then it is another matter. ”
The six of them stayed in the restaurant until the evening, when the sun began to set, and then left. Lu Xin sat by the window and listened the whole time, but he knew a lot of news. One of the most important things is that Huang Yuyi was seriously injured by the fox demon. If this is the case, then it is very likely that the fox, the scholar and the Yang sisters have escaped from Jiangnan Province and gone to Wuzhou.
After the six people of Yishui Pavilion left the restaurant, they walked all the way along the river to the east. Due to its proximity to Poyang Lake, Raozhou has many river basins. The six of them cautiously went back and forth between the rivers, and it was not until night fell that they sneaked to the foot of a mountain.
"It should be seventy or eighty miles away from Raozhou City, and after walking all the way east for so long, I'm afraid I'm about to leave Raozhou."
Lu Xin followed behind the six people all the way, he was not familiar with the entire Xuanzhou Mansion, and it was dark, so he naturally didn't know where he was. Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Si Tianbu Zhou Yan, one of the five great divine soldiers, had to come along.
The mountain in front of you seems to be surrounded by water on all sides. There are large rivers flowing through the north and south sides, and there are lakes and swamps in the east and west places. Lu Xin has studied the Fashan burial scriptures and has also learned some feng shui. Just from the geographical location, this mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, and people are not prosperous. Even if there is a dragon vein underground, the dragon qi is sealed, the feng shui is not good, and it is even a place of great evil.
If there is any big tomb in this kind of place, Lu Xin obviously doesn't believe it. Not to mention the apprentices of the reckless, even ordinary people will not build their graves here.
However, what made Lu Xin feel strange was that after the people of Yishui Pavilion arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it didn't take long for them to climb directly up the mountain. Obviously, this is the location of the ancient tomb that Cao Fu said.
The mountain road is very rugged and steep, and looking at the dead branches and fallen leaves piled up on the road, this is obviously off the beaten track. It took the people of Yishui Pavilion more than two hours to dig dozens of holes in various parts of the mountain, and finally found the entrance to the tomb in a corner on the back of the mountain.
"Damn, Qin Xiao, this kid is really a chicken thief. Even if the tomb is repaired in such a broken place, there are still so many doubtful graves. If it weren't for the master's clever methods passed down by his old man, he really wouldn't have been able to find it. ”
"Hahahaha, I'm tired, I'm tired, but in the end I'm still being found by us. Senior Brother Liu, don't be unconvinced, the seventy-two suspicious tombs of Prime Minister Cao Cheng were built with the help of Guan Qi. As a disciple, Qin Xiao, how can he be good with his peers? You're just too dry. If you touch gold with this kind of temperament, I'm afraid you won't live long. ”
"Bah, you're a short-lived ghost. Who is Cao Cao, who is he, can he be compared? Besides......"
"Okay, it's all nonsense. The night is long and there are many dreams, and you can quickly enter the tomb. Senior Brother Cao, what do you think? ”
"Naturally, I listened to the senior brother. I've only been in the business for a few years, and I haven't gotten the true inheritance of my master, so I can't do the matter of going to the tomb. Besides, I'm not interested in any magic weapon. This time, I took everyone out without telling the master, and I also wanted to do my part for Yishui Pavilion, so that the master and his old man would be happy. Senior brother, you lead the way. ”
Cao Fu's eyes flickered, and the tone of his voice suddenly became a little humble. When the "senior brother" heard this, he patted him on the shoulder twice with satisfaction, obviously very happy. Two seconds later, six people entered the cave one after another, and soon disappeared into the night. It wasn't until all the sounds were completely gone that Lu Xin showed his head from a distance. Looking down the mountain, the river reflects the bright starry sky, as bright as the Milky Way. At this time, Lu Xin discovered that the river under the mountain was majestic and winding like a dragon. It seems to have flown from the East China Sea and want to escape into the Poyang Lake
