He Xigu understood, and immediately smiled: "Little old remember, Chu Dake, you are the benefactor of our ghost party, although the ghost old man has a somewhat strange temperament, he will definitely do his best to help you." ”

Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Old ghost master, why is it that only the ghost old man understands your ghost language?" ”

He Xigu explained: "The old people have said that when the Western Liang Kingdom was not strong, the countries of the Western Regions had trade with the original, and the Jingulan Desert was the only way to trade. At that time, the relationship between Xiliang and Yuan was also good, and the trade routes were very prosperous at that time, and we learned that there was such a powerful ancient country in the East, so we organized a caravan to come to the original trade. Speaking of this, he sighed lightly: "It is said that at that time, the original foreign guests were very warm and friendly, and the imperial court also set up a special yamen to take care of business and trade with the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Chu Huan knew that what he was talking about was the period of the previous dynasty, the Dahua Dynasty.

Any empire will have a time of prosperity, when it traded with the countries of the Western Regions, and the Western Liang at that time was only a small country, and it was also a bright pearl of the Orient when it came to the heyday of the Dahua Dynasty.

"Our ancestors were all merchants who came to the original trade, and they worked hard, going back and forth, eating and sleeping in the open, and even took several years." Hexigu sighed: "At the beginning, the distance was far away, and not too many people dared to take risks, but the merchants who returned from the original brought back the rich products of the original, and the huge profits were really unimaginable, and because of this, there were more ghost merchants who came to the original. ”

Chu Huan said: "The original place is vast, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful, so after your ancestors arrived, they didn't want to go back?" ”

He Xigu said: "In fact, Xiao Lao has never seen his homeland, for Xiao Lao, Xiao Lao was born in the Yuan, grew up in the Yuan, ate the original rice, drank the original water, and can already be regarded as the original person." Moreover, after our ancestors came to the original country, they also married the original woman, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, although we have the blood of the ghost recipe in our veins, but it is also the blood of the original people. ”

Chu Huan knew that this must be the case, in the mansion of Luo'an Capital, the Janice sisters are pure Western Regions, their skin is whiter than snow, the bridge of their noses is high, and their eyes are deep-set, although the appearance of Hexi Valley also has the outline of a person from the Western Regions, but it also has the appearance of the original person, which is very different from the pure appearance of the Janice sisters in the Western Regions.

"I just heard the old people talk about their homeland, our ghost party belongs to the desert nation, our country is also built in the desert, and the prosperity scene naturally cannot be compared with the original." Hexigu said slowly: "The ancestors saw the vast land and resources of the original, ran twice, and earned enough money, they would stay in the original and live in the original from then on, passing on from generation to generation. They are accustomed to the original gorgeous silk on the ship, learn to taste tea, and also admire the etiquette of the original, and quickly adapt to the original life, but they are ghost people after all, although they enjoy a good life, but they will often miss their homeland, so the traditional heavenly sacrifice of the ghost side has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Heavenly sacrifice?"

"All the countries in the Western Regions will have their own protectors." Hexigu said: "The protector of our ghost side is the powerful python god, and every year we will hold a heavenly sacrifice to sacrifice our python god and let him bless us." However, to preside over the heavenly sacrifice, there must be a sacrificer, we call it a ghost elder, and it is said that in our homeland, there will be a special family engaged in the sacrifice, except for the family specializing in the sacrifice, no other family can preside. ”

Chu Huanqi said: "Could it be that there is such a family in the original?" ”

Hexigu said: "At first, there was no, but the number of ghost people who lived in the original gradually increased, but they could not hold a sacrifice, and then they begged the lord of the ghost side to send a sacrifice to preside over the sacrifice, it is said that in order to get the consent of the lord, they offered a huge amount of property to the lord, and finally the lord of the country selected a few sacrificers from the sacrificial family to come to the original, this is the ghost old family!" ”

"I see." Chu Huan thought for a moment, and bowed slightly, the ghost old clan is a sacred family in the eyes of the ghost country, no wonder you are the ghost master of the head of the sixteen cave masters, when Hexigu mentioned the ghost elder, he had a look of respect.

"Back then, the countries of the Western Regions came to the original trade, and the ghost side stayed in the original with the largest number of people, and most of them were gathered in Anyi." He Xigu explained: "Although ordinary ghost people can marry the original woman as a wife at will, but the ghost old clan must marry the ghost woman to maintain the purity of the bloodline, otherwise it is disrespectful to the python god, and every generation of ghost elders will be proficient in the ghost language, not only that, but those spells that ordinary ghost people can't understand, the ghost elders also understand." ”

Chu Huan's eyebrows furrowed, and he said with a smile: "In this way, I want to learn the ghost dialect and find the ghost elder, that is to find the right person." ”

Hexigu Zhengse said: "Dake, there are dozens of large and small countries in the Western Regions, and many countries have similar languages and even the same pronunciation, but the meanings are sometimes very different. If what you want to ask is indeed the ghost dialect, even if it is an ancient ghost dialect that has been handed down very early, the ghost elder should be able to interpret it, but it is ...... If it weren't for the ghost dialect, the ghost elder might not be able to answer. ”

After all, Hexigu is Lao Jiang, Chu Huan wants to find the ghost elder, of course he knows that it can't be that this Lord Qincha is only interested in the ghost language, the last time Chu Huan was in the prison of the Criminal Department, confided in two ghost words, and then asked about the situation of the ghost elder, at that time, He Xigu felt in his heart that Chu Huan might have some problems that needed to be solved by a ghost person who knew the ghost language, but he didn't know anything about what problems Chu Huan encountered.

Of course he didn't know that although Chu Huan was taught the [Demon Suppression Mantra] by the ghost master, Chu Huan couldn't understand the spell-like language at all.

For the sake of the [Demon Suppression Mantra], Bishamen has been under house arrest for the ghost master, and the ghost master has passed away because of this, Ah Shiduo did not hesitate to interrogate Chu Huan secretly, concealing Bishamen's attempt to get the [Demon Suppression Mantra] mantra from Chu Huan, and the Da Nan brothers did not hesitate to betray Ah Shiduo for this, and even killed each other, they all tried their best to get the [Demon Suppression Mantra] at great risk, Chu Huan was stupid, and he knew that this [Demon Suppression Mantra] must be extraordinary.

If you want to know what kind of mystery is hidden in the [Demon Suppression Mantra], you must first understand its meaning, Chu Huan is not clear what the [Demon Suppression Mantra] is saying now, and how can he know what kind of mystery it is hiding.

Although Hexigu said this, Chu Huan was not disappointed, in fact, he only had the psychology of a blind cat hitting a mouse to death, if he could know the meaning of the [Demon Suppression Mantra] from the ghost elder, it would be a great thing, but even if he didn't know, it was not an uncommon thing, after all, the [Demon Suppression Mantra] was not trivial, and it was not easy to understand its secret easily.

Chu Huan is actually a very patient person.

If it weren't for the accident that he learned that the ghost elder might be able to interpret the [Demon Suppression Mantra], Chu Huan was also waiting for Nuo Zhiluo to wake up.

There are two people under the ghost master's seat, Nuo Rang Luo and Shu Bo Jia, Shu Bo Jia and Liu Meiniang don't know where to go, and Nuo Rang Luo has become a living dead and is now recuperating in the capital mansion.

Chu Huan didn't know when Nuo Zhiluo would wake up, if he couldn't learn the content of the [Demon Suppression Mantra] from the ghost elder, Chu Huan's other hope was Nuo Zhiluo.

Nuo Zhiluo is the person next to the ghost master, since the ghost master has taught the [Demon Suppression Mantra] to himself, of course, it is impossible to leave this obscure mantra that makes Chu Huan confused.

He certainly had other arrangements.

The person who can help you understand the [Demon Suppression Mantra] is most likely Notara or Shuboga.

If Nuo Yuan Luo woke up, I believe that he should tell himself what he knew about the [Demon Suppression Mantra], and at the beginning, the ghost master named himself [Naga], inexplicably accepted himself as a disciple, and even made himself a protector of the Buddhist Sect, in addition, he gave three other Buddhist scriptures "Pure Heart Mantra", "Bodhisattva Sutra" and "Twenty-four Dharma Xiang Naga Zen", each of which was an extremely strange thing, leaving Chu Huan with a great mystery.

Chu Huan believed that the ghost master would not just give himself a puzzle and not give himself an answer, and Nokluo could not wake up, he believed that one day Shu Bojia would come back.

"Old ghost master, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to the matter of the ghost side." Chu Huan looked at Hexi Valley sincerely, "I hope that your ghost side can live a peaceful life from now on, and I also hope that the ghost side and the Qin people can get along in harmony." ”

He Xigu said solemnly: "Although there is some misunderstanding between our ghost Fang and the Qin people, the little elder will do his best to improve all this. ”

"That's good, that's good." Chu Huan nodded with a smile, "Old ghost master, you have a good rest here for two days, and I will send someone to escort you back when you turn around." ”

He Xigu hurriedly said: "Dake, Daqimeng Mountain is afraid that there are still many things to deal with, Xiao Lao wants to return to the mountain tomorrow, you see ......!" ”

Chu Huan thought about it, he also knew that Hexigu was in a hurry to return to the mountain, after all, the Hubu Division would soon go to clear the population of the ghost side, and it was not a bad thing for Hexigu to go back to the mountain to prepare first, and nodded and said: "In this way, I will send a team of men and horses to escort you to the Great Qimeng Mountain tomorrow!" ”

He Xigu said gratefully: "Thank you Dake, after the little old man returns to the mountain, make some preparations first, I just hope that Dake can smoothly deal with the things at hand, and come to my Daqimeng Mountain as soon as possible!" ”

After saying goodbye to Hexigu, Chu Huan returned to Xingyuan, in fact, he knew that the next thing would be very busy, in addition to preparing the excerpt to be presented to Kyoto, the most important thing was to deal with the affairs left by the Huang family.

Chu Huan's trip to Anyi, there are three things to do, the first thing is to find out the mystery of the murder of Shen Yiwei, fortunately, this most difficult task has been completed, not only that, but also to strangle a big conspiracy that has been brewing in Tianmen Dao for a long time in the cradle, the second thing is to pacify the rebellion of the Huang family, now that Yusuo Lake has been captured, Huang Zhigui was killed, Huang Tianyi was captured, and it can be regarded as a great success.

The last thing is to settle the Huang family's wealth, this matter has been handled by the Taiyuan Household Department with Chu Huan from the very beginning, but the head of the Household Department has been killed in the Misty Hall, and the main person in charge has died, and the matter has become tricky, Chu Huan has asked Yuan Chongshang to re-transfer people from the Household Department to deal with this matter.

The emperor also counted on the Huang family's wealth to be quickly cleaned up, and the confiscated money and grain were used to pacify the Tianmen Rebellion in the southeast, which was easy to say, but it was not possible to liquidate all the property of the Huang family and then transfer it out, but it was not something that could be completed in ten days and half a month, after all, when the Huang family controlled Anyi, a huge business network was established, and Anyi merchants were economically involved with the Huang family, and the Huang family was an official family, and they could not do business openly, and there were many merchants who were their agents. Many shops are closely related to the interests of other merchants, and raiding the Huang family's shop will inevitably hurt the interests of other merchants.

For the current Anyi, the most important thing is to get through this extremely sensitive period calmly.

Chu Huan was also afraid that if the response was unfavorable this time, once the Huang family really colluded with Tianmen Dao, then Anyi Dao would really be in danger.

The foundation of Tianmen Dao is in the ordinary people, those people who live in poverty are confused by Tianmen Dao, and now in Anyi, there are already a lot of Tianmen Daoists secretly, Tianmen Dao can incite this group of people to rise up at any time, and the Huang family has been operating in Anyi for many years, and has formed a great influence in the gentry and wealthy families, if Tianmen Dao joins forces with the Huang family, it will be equivalent to if the people and gentry are all against the imperial court, the most terrifying point of Tianmen Dao and the Huang family is this.

If there is a conflict with the merchants of Anyi because of the liquidation of the Huang family's property, it is very likely to cause unpredictable changes, after all, at this time, Anyi's people's hearts are not stable.

Although Chu Huan is not proficient in settling accounts, his stakes are still very clear, so he is also cautious about raiding the Huang family's stores and shops in various parts of Anyi, that is, to transfer the most effective manpower as much as possible to properly handle this matter.

Chu Huan knew very well in his heart that although the Huang family was pacified and General Mu was dead, it would take a long time to only deal with these follow-up affairs, and even three or two months might not be able to leave Anyi.
