Chapter 224: The Circle of Contract

Yang Yi had never believed in such ethereal things as immortality or immortality, even in this otherworldly continent. But people are like this, desire will always grow with themselves, the older they get, the greater their power, and the desire will be infinitely magnified.

In the history that Yang Yi knows, the people who like to pursue immortality the most are undoubtedly those emperors who have great power, maybe they know better than anyone that immortality is just a joke, but the attachment to power makes them lose their minds, even if they try their luck, they will give it a try.

Now Yang Yi finally knows what Tao He's ultimate goal is, not at all, as Su Zhongzhai said, he wants to pave the way for his son, but wants to be the king of Shu forever.

This is a joke, a bloody joke that makes the entire people of Shu pay for him.

However, Yang Yi still had some doubts: "Then what's the use of Tao He turning the entire Connecticut upside down?" If this continues, it is impossible for the Kangzhou army to defeat the Di people, even if the entire Shu army is afraid that it will be difficult to defeat them, and it will not be able to help Tao He find the Immortal Pill at all. ”

Wuwei Daoist shook his head and said: "Gongzi Jia, you don't know, back then, Guang Taizu's army attacked Shu for a long time, and finally had to send an envoy to negotiate peace with the Di people, because it was Daguang who took the lead in proposing peace, so he made a lot of concessions to the Zhen people. At the behest of Taizu, Daguang allowed the Di people to be self-governing and had many pardon rights in Shu. ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I heard my grandfather mention this, when Emperor Taizu was eager to unify the Daguang Territory, he had to make these concessions. ”

"Yes, but Emperor Taizu is the first emperor of the ages, and he naturally knows that if the Di people continue to develop like this, it will definitely be a big disaster in the future, so he asked the Di people for three promises."

"Three promises? What promises? ”

"In the classics of the Di people, it is recorded that the Di people made three jade rings to give to Emperor Taizu, and the Di people called them the ring of the contract, and each ring of the contract represents a promise. Taizu's trick is very clever, even after his death, he still left a solution to the trouble of the Zhen clan for his descendants..."

Yang Yi was shocked: "Wait, what are you talking about?" Yuhuan?! ”

Wuwei Daoist was taken aback by Yang Yi, he didn't know why he was so excited, he just wanted to speak, but he saw Yang Yi suddenly take out an object from his arms, and condensed: "Dao Chief, look at what this thing is." ”

Wuwei Daoist took it suspiciously, and was shocked at first glance, and said a little excitedly: "This... This... Where did you get this thing? ”

Just looking at the expression of the Wuwei Taoist, Yang Yi already knew that his guess was right.

Sure enough, Wuwei Daoist lifted the jade ring, looked at it with his backlight, and muttered to himself while carefully inspecting it: "The fire phoenix totem, the jade surface is lubricated and luster, the phoenix tail is green and yellow, the phoenix head is white, and there are jade spots dotted with jade spots in the fine eyes, showing a state of bowing down to the sun, exactly the same as the one recorded in the books of the Di people, the ring of the contract, this is definitely the ring of the contract!" Connecticut is saved! ”

Finally, he waited for the almost crazy Wuwei Daoist to calm down a little, but Yang Yi was puzzled: "Dao Chief, will the Di people really retreat for a small jade ring?" ”

Wuwei Daoist hurriedly said: "How could it not? Childe, the Di people value love and righteousness, and the commitment is beyond your imagination, Taizu got a total of three contract rings, the first jade ring is to let the Di people have no reason to raise troops against the light people, so for more than two hundred years, the Di people have expanded their power to Chengzhou Mansion, but they have never moved the war, just because of the promise to Taizu. ”

Wuwei Daoist looked at Yang Yi and said: "Also, Lao Dao used to be very strange that Tao He entered Shu single-handedly twenty years ago, why he was able to let the strong Di people return to a corner of Lin'an County without blood, and later the leader of the Di tribe, Shama Naigu, told me that it was because Tao He took out the second contract ring and asked all the Di people to retreat, so they had to withdraw from Chengzhou Mansion." ”

"How can such a thing be?" Yang Yi was extremely surprised, he had always wondered how Tao He had made the Di people retreat back then, but he didn't want to just use a small jade ring.

Because of such a great achievement, Tao He's prestige in Shu has increased day by day, and he has naturally become the lord of Shu. And every time this contract ring is used, the Zhen people will destroy it, and after Tao He uses the second one, there is only one contract ring left in the world! ”

Wuwei Daoist looked at Yang Yidao in surprise: "Tao He's jade ring should have been given to him by the emperor before entering Shu, but the third contract ring is not in the hands of your royal family, but in Kangzhou, which is also the reason why Lao Dao guessed that Tao He disturbed Kangzhou, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find this contract ring and then ask the Zhen people for the elixir, but....why is this contract ring in your hands?" ”

Yang Yi didn't answer Wuwei Daoren, but paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his mind spinning rapidly to sort out the original end of the whole thing.

Wuwei Daoist knew that Yang Yi was thinking, so he didn't bother, just looked at him intently.

After a long time, Yang Yi finally stopped and muttered, "I seem to understand a little..."

Yang Yi pinched his fingers and said, "Taizu didn't use one contract ring back then, but used two!" ”

"What do you mean?" Wuwei Taoist exclaimed.

"The first contract ring is used to order the people of the Zhen tribe not to act arbitrarily, and the second contract ring... Emperor Taizu used it to secretly ask for the elixir of immortality! But for some reason, Yuhuan and the Immortal Pill were taken away by the descendants of the alchemist, and since then they have lost news. ”

Saying that, Yang Yi turned to look at the Wuwei Daoist, and said with a smile: "The Dao Chief just said that the descendants of the alchemist appeared in Congzhou, I think I know who that person is." ”

"You know?"

"That person should be called Zhang Shi, who has already died on the Shu Road."

At this time, all the doubts in Yang Yi's heart were solved, and he didn't know if he was really a plague god, and he had already been involved in this matter when he entered Shuzhong.

The plundering bandits that Yang Yi and the others encountered when they entered Shu were not aiming at the caravan goods at all, but looking for Zhang Shi and his Immortal Pill, and that group of bandits was basically certain to be Tao He's people.

And after that, Dou Xu, who knew that among them, also joined the ranks of the competition for the Immortal Pill, and led the army into Shu Dao to look for it, of course he couldn't find it, perhaps, if he dared to search the Assassin's Mansion, maybe he would be able to gain something.

As for the Xu family of Wanfu Commercial Bank, they should be the fuse of this matter can also be said to be a stepping stone, it was they who discovered Zhang Shi, but unfortunately, there is no big enough bowl, they want to eat such a big mouthful, the consequences are obvious, Tao He in the Chinese New Year's Eve, did not hesitate to destroy them.
