Three like-minded people argue every day in Zhaojia Village. Because Liu Kuan and his entourage wanted to continue their journey, Tian Yu invited everyone to stop by Yuyang and rest at his house.

After arriving at Tian Yu's house, the three of them hardly went out and discussed endlessly every day.

When Liu Kuan traveled, he said to Xian Yufu: "My father is now the minister of Ganling, and he will soon be in charge of Youzhou. ”

Xian Yu is equipped with talents, and he already feels that there is no way to serve the country, and he is very happy to hear Liu Kuan say this, "In a few days, I will pack up and go to Ganling Kingdom to meet the Prime Minister." ”

Liu Kuan shook his head, "There is no need to go back and forth, in the near future, Brother Xianyu can interact with the tribes of the East and West Xianbei and Goguryeo to investigate the terrain and people." After my father came to Youzhou, he urgently needed talents in this area, and Brother Xian Yu will definitely have great plans in the future! ”

Xian Yufu recently had a deep friendship with Liu Kuan, and he was already shocked, and he heard that Liu Kuan's father and son were royal nobles, so he immediately agreed.

Not long after, Xian Yufu took Xian Yuyin to Xianbei in the north. Tian Yu said goodbye to his parents and followed Hua Jun, Liu Kuan and others to the northeast and went straight to Changbai Mountain.

The Changbai Mountains are the birthplace of the Yalu River, the Songhua River and the Tumen River, and the Changbai Mountain in the narrow sense is located in the southeast of Baishan City in the later generations, which is the junction of China and North Korea. Starting from Yuyang, the road passed through the residence of the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo and other tribes, which were part of the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia in later generations, and most of these tribes were attached to the Han Dynasty.

Goguryeo at this time was also different from Goryeo in later generations, and Goguryeo at this time was a small county state of Xuansu County in the Han Dynasty, and had not yet formed an influential and powerful regime. Later Cao Wei period formed a regime that had great influence on the surrounding tribes, and later Cao Cao sent troops to conquer, causing him a catastrophe, after the Western Jin Dynasty turmoil, Goguryeo developed again, and it was it that was conquered by the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Wuhuan was also scattered by several tribes at this time, under the jurisdiction of the captain of Wuhuan of the Great Han Dynasty, and the largest tribal leader at this time was Qiu Liju.

Xianbei is more complicated, in 45 AD, Xianbei had followed the Xiongnu to invade the Han border, after the Xiongnu split, Xianbei gradually got rid of its control, after Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu twice, resisted its oppression, in 91 AD by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu hit by the Northern Xiongnu was forced to move to West Asia, Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the Mongolian steppe.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Tanshihuai unified Xianbei, and fought with the Eastern Han Dynasty, defeating more than 10,000 cavalry led by Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, led by Xia Yu, the commander of the Wuhuan Academy, Tian Yan, the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, and the general Zang Wen of the Xiongnu Zhonglang.

Recently, Tanshihuai died, Xianbei split, and Xianbei in the west rebelled, and split into three groups: one is the Budugen group, which has tens of thousands of people, and has Yunzhong and Yanmen; the second is Kebineng Group, which is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places; Third, a number of small groups to which the original alliance "Eastern Lords" belonged, scattered outside Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in later generations, the Xianbei tribes took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to establish the state successively, and in 385 the Tuoba Department established the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, at this time, the eastern and northern parts of Youzhou were all dependent or semi-dependent on the Han Dynasty.

Liu Kuan and others went all the way to the scenery and danger, but they also successfully arrived at Tianchi in Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain is named after its many peaks of white pumice and snow, the main peak is a dormant volcano, the crater accumulates water into a lake, the pool is 20 miles high, the lake surface is more than 10 square kilometers, slightly elliptical, lonely hanging in the sky, there is no entrance, only the exit, the water surface is vast, the lake water flows out endlessly and is quite mysterious, it is called Tianchi. When everyone came to the lake, it was the early autumn season, but they saw that the peaks were embraced, and the white clouds were swirling, and they were unpredictable. Looking at the water surface, the lake water is clear and clear, deep and blue, flat as a mirror, the strange and steep mountain peaks stand near the pond, reflecting the lake, the sparkling mountain shadow, colorful colors.

"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy." Liu Kuanxing was there, and he chanted at the exit, and everyone lingered in the beautiful scenery, listened to the good sentences, and couldn't help but be intoxicated.

It was almost noon, and everyone buried a pot in the open space to make food, and after eating, they found an open place to the south, and began to cut down trees and build houses, and they were busy for several days.

After a row of four wooden houses was built, Liu Kuan sent Liu Lei and Liu Dian back to Ganling with their servants.

Lei Deng was reluctant to leave, Liu Kuan advised: "In this troubled world, I am enough to protect myself, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you must ensure that Liu's mansion is complete." Thunderbolt was ordered to go reluctantly.

Hua Jun saw his entourage leaving, and said to Liu Kuan: "The temperature is warm now, if the weather is cold, covered with ice and snow, it is not easy to go into the water, you might as well go into the water to find it today." ”

Liu Kuan also felt reasonable, among the group, three were disabled, and Tian Yu didn't understand water, so he could only go into the water by himself.

Liu Kuan was born in the south in his previous life, soaked in water since he was a child, after Liu Tong became older, he took him to swim every year, and now he is cultivating in his body, full of true qi and better water.

Liu Kuan dived in Tianchi to search everywhere, because Tianchi was too big, so he thought about dividing Tianchi into several areas and looking for it slowly, anyway, he was not in a hurry, if he searched chaotically, it was inevitable that there would be omissions and duplicate areas. A few days ago, I dived around Tianchi, and the bottom of the water was clear, but it was also clear. I searched for several days, but there was no result.

Seeing this, Tian Yu said to Liu Kuan: "Xuanbing and even cold things should be in the deepest depth, and the deepest part of Tianchi should be in the middle of the lake, and we can look for it directly in the center of Tianchi." ”

Liu Kuan felt justified after hearing this. He cut down large bamboos and balsa wood with Tian Yu, and collected rattan bark and tied them into a large raft.

The next day, Liu Kuan, Wang Bing and Tian Yu rowed a raft to the center of Tianchi. Liu Kuan went into the water, the deeper he went, the more cold he felt, Liu Kuan carried his true qi to keep out the cold, the center of gravity fell, more than 300 meters later, he saw the situation at the bottom of the lake, but he was shocked.

Liu Kuan was flustered for a while, and after stabilizing his body a little, he saw that at the bottom of the lake, something similar to a python, coiled on a pile of white transparent crystals, the monster's whole body was blue-gray, slightly yellowish, the head was as big as a basin, and the body was thick like a barrel, I don't know how long, the square top had horns, and the long items had many whiskers. Liu Kuan thought that this should be a dragon.

Liu Kuan avoided it more than ten meters away, landed at the bottom of the lake, and did not dare to go forward, the dragon closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Liu Kuan hesitated for a long time, and had an inexplicable fear of this thing. But seeing that it was motionless, it slowly became a little bolder, and thought that several of them had come by trekking through mountains and rivers, and that Xuan Bing was very important to the sect, so he was bold, slowly swam over, stopped at the tail of the dragon, and reached out to carry one of the pieces of Xuan Bing.

This piece of Xuanbing is one meter long, half a meter high, very heavy, fortunately in the water, Liu Kuan's luck, Xuanbing has just left the ground, and suddenly the dragon's tail swings lightly and falls on Xuanbing. Xuan Bing was pressed and fell to the ground with a muffled sound, Liu Kuan was startled and hurriedly retreated. But the dragon remained motionless.

Liu Kuan took a closer look and found that after the dragon moved its tail just now, it turned out that half of an iron rod was exposed at the tail, the color of the iron rod was like iron but not too similar, dazzling black, glowing with colored light in the ice pile, Liu Kuan estimated that it should be a divine weapon.

Liu Kuan's weapons are sticks, and the smelting technology in this era is very backward, and the copper rods he uses cost a lot, and he is not very satisfied. It's probably not as strong as a kitchen knife in your own kitchen. The more Liu Kuan looked at the iron rod, the more he liked it.

Liu Kuan has been in the water for a long time, and now his chest is unbearable, and he can't stay longer, so he hurriedly surfaced and rowed back on a raft with Wang Bing and Tian Yu.

"That dragon has claws?" Hua Jun asked after listening to Liu Kuan's narration.

"It seems to have four claws", Liu Kuan said uncertainly, "Uncle Shi, that Xuanbing is not an ice cube, it is a crystal, it should be called Xuanjing, and the iron rod doesn't look like a local thing, it should be Xuantie, it looks like an alien object!" ”

"Well, it should be", Zhang Li said: "This dragon is here to protect the artifact, you move its artifact, but it is so friendly to you, it stands to reason that ordinary people harass, it will devour in one bite, but it is indifferent to you, very strange?" ”

"That's right, Uncle Duan Yi knows that there is Xuanjing here, and it is estimated that there are still people who know, why didn't anyone come to pick it up? It is estimated that everyone who came to fetch it was defeated or eaten by this dragon! Liu Kuan couldn't believe that there were treasures in Tianchi, and they hadn't been taken away for so long.

Hua Jun looked at Liu Kuan, his eyes were very strange, and then said: "This dragon is here to practice and guard, it should be thousands of years, and when the five claws are formed and the body is golden, there should be a real dragon born here, but I don't know that it will stay for hundreds of thousands of years." ”

Liu Kuan was shocked when he heard this, what Uncle Shi said was reasonable, history has confirmed that this is indeed the case, more than a thousand years later, from between the white mountains and black waters, there was a royal family surnamed Aixin Jueluo.
