Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Story Behind Gu Yu

"We've been looking for so long, this should be it, right?"

"Let's try it!"

"Remember our agreement."

"You don't bother, you've stressed it a hundred times along the way."

"Our Lan country can't compare to you to defend the country, and now the national strength is declining, so I care about this agreement very much."

"I know, it's a word, as long as I find that ancient jade, there will definitely be no shortage of things you want in the Lan Kingdom!"

He Nuo was stunned at this time, and faintly understood, it turned out that the two people who were talking were Mo Shangchu, the prince of Lan Guo, and Jiang Yi'an, the son of Wei Guo, when Zhao Mingzhao was captured by the monkey, Ying Lingyue stayed to save Zhao Mingzhao, so they ran into He Nuo, and Mo Shangchu and Jiang Yi'an did not stay, so they kept walking in front, and they didn't expect that when they were on the sixth floor of the Qianran Underground Palace, He Nuo finally caught up with them.

"Shh Zhao Mingzhao stretched out his index finger and pursed his lips, signaling not to make a sound.

Since seeing Gu Yu, Zhao Mingzhao has always maintained this serious expression, always like a great enemy, and even has a bit of a smell of grass and trees, He Nuo and Liao Xingyun secretly wanted to laugh in their hearts, but considering that the occasion was not suitable, they held back and nodded.

After a while, the sound of the conversation between the two in front of them gradually became quieter, and it seemed that the two had gradually moved away. At this time, Zhao Mingzhao made a gesture forward. He Nuo and Liao Xingyun had to help Zhao Mingzhao forward.

Out of the stone chamber, there was an intersection, one of which led to a long downhill, but this descent was different from the previous one, there were no stairs, but only a smooth slope, and the slope had some rolling marks, as if this slope was used to transport something, not to walk. Another section of the road leads to another stone chamber.

He Nuo listened carefully, and only heard the faint conversation between Jiang Yi'an and Mo Shangchu still coming from another stone room. But Zhao Mingzhao clenched the ancient jade in his hand, pointed to the slippery slope, and said, "Let's go this slope." ”

He Nuo wanted to advise, but seeing Zhao Mingzhao's stubborn expression, it was not good to say anything.

Due to the injury under Zhao Mingzhao's feet, this slope took three people a long time of effort, although Zhao Mingzhao was very reluctant to go, but as long as he held the ancient jade tightly, it seemed as if he was called by some kind of duty, and his face immediately became serious, even if he troubled others, he had to finish this journey.

But who knew that as soon as he finished this downhill, Zhao Mingzhao's fingers suddenly trembled, but he seemed to endure severe pain and held the ancient jade in his hand tightly.

Seeing Zhao Mingzhao's expression, He Nuo felt a little empathy, knowing that this must be the ancient jade he was holding and heat gushing out, but if this was an induction, it also meant that they were getting closer and closer to the ancient jade in this cave.

The expression on Zhao Mingzhao's face became a little excited, in front of the ancient jade hidden in this cave, this Zhao Dagongzi could not be reserved, only kept urging.

He Nuo and Liao Xingyun were a little helpless, but on the one hand, they didn't want to disobey Zhao Mingzhao's intentions, and on the other hand, they were also a little curious about Gu Yu, who Zhao Mingzhao cared about so much.

After this slope is a long bluestone road, which stretches straight forward and goes far away. Zhao Mingzhao seemed to think that He Nuo and Liao Xingyun were not walking fast enough, and wanted to attract their interest, so he explained in a low voice, "'Water, fire, wind and thunder, wood, stone, gold and earth' eight ancient jades, among which the ancient jade engraved with the word soil is the last and most important one, in addition to being the final finale of the eight ancient jades, more importantly, it is a key. ”

"Keys?" He Nuo was interested when he heard this, generally speaking, as long as there is a key, there is a lock, and immediately asked, "Then what is this key used to open?" ”

Zhao Mingzhao said, "This is closely related to Xirong and Cangguo, and it may be a huge treasure!" ”

"Huge treasure?" Liao Xingyun was very strange when he heard this, and asked, "Where did the treasure come from out of thin air?" ”

Zhao Mingzhao shook his head, and while speeding up his pace, he said, "This didn't come out of thin air, you know the change of the long night, right?" ”

He Nuo and Liao Xingyun nodded, the change of the long night changed the national fortunes of the Jinyang Dynasty, and even changed the fate of He Nuo's family, he knew too well the coup d'Γ©tat launched by Zuo Xiangyu after the death of Emperor Sizong He Zijin, but He Nuo knew very little about the specific details of this coup.

Zhao Mingzhao continued, "After Emperor Shengzu restored the country, he found that Jinyang City at that time was almost an empty city, and the accumulation of decades since the founding of the He family was almost empty. ”

Hearing this, He Nuo suddenly remembered the content on the relief, and thought to himself, "When the Holy Ancestor Emperor entered Jinyang City from Longxing Gate, he shed tears, is it because the treasures in Jinyang City were emptied?" But then He Nuo denied this idea, "First, because the Holy Ancestor Emperor had not yet entered the city at that time, and he didn't know the situation inside, and secondly, because He Qingcang was a generation of heroes, and he couldn't be sad and emotional about these yellow and white things." ”

Liao Xingyun asked, "So someone transported the treasure to the west?" ”

Zhao Mingzhao nodded and said, "This is the Tao that many ancestors of the Dragon Camp have explored through many clues, and this ancient jade engraved with the word 'soil' on it is the key to unlocking that treasure." Zhao Mingzhao sighed and said, "At that time, after the failure of the Yushang Expedition, many of his subordinates were unwilling, and they were afraid of the great military might of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, so they buried these treasures and passed them on to future generations, planning to wait until the right time to try to raise them. ”

He Nuo suddenly remembered something, and he didn't know whether to ask or not, so he was a little hesitant.

Zhao Mingzhao saw He Nuo's expression, and slightly understood, and said, "I know what Brother He Nuo wants to ask, you see that I am so keen on this ancient jade, do you also suspect that I covet that treasure, this is too much to worry about, although my Zhao Mingzhao's family is not very rich, but the family savings are enough for the two of us brothers to enjoy in our lives, if it is me personally, what do you want these treasures for?" It's just that we need it in the Dragon Camp. ”

"Why?" He Nuo was curious.

Zhao Mingzhao said lightly, "It's been seven years since the Holy Lord reigned today, and it's only been two years since the nine-year curse, we can't help but take precautions early, the Jinyang world can't withstand another change in the long night, if it appears, who will be the second Holy Ancestor?" ”

"Then what's the use of these eight ancient jades combined?" He Nuo saw that he was about to finish this long bluestone ancient road, and hurried to ask.

Zhao Mingzhao said, "These eight ancient jades have been handed down since the Yuyue Dynasty, and I don't know much about the specific details, so I have to rush to find more, I only know one detail, that is, those emperors who died after nine years of reign, and finally when they pack up their relics, they can always find at least three ancient jades from them." ”

Zhao Mingzhao snapped his fingers and counted, "Those are all carefully recorded by the predecessors of the Dragon Camp, from Emperor Gao, to Emperor Sizong, to Emperor Shengzu, there is no exception. ”
