Chapter 56: The Emperor's Tomb

"Is Lord Fei Lian's news reliable? The huge Tugu Mountain is really an emperor's mound? ”

"How can it be fake, although I don't know which emperor it is, but it must be the emperor's mound, for this reason the leader also specially invited Mr. Kanyu to find out the feng shui here, it is the place where the wind and clouds will hide the sleeping dragon, and it is an excellent treasure cave!"

"But even if it's an emperor's mound, what treasure can it have?"

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that, remember, as soon as those slaves find a hole that is a hundred feet deep, they will report it immediately."

"The Funiu Village promised by Lord Fei Lian......"

"Hehe, rest assured, in the future, these people, Lord Fei Lian has already explained, once the emperor tomb is excavated, he will ...... immediately"

The man's voice was cold, and Zilong immediately knew what he was trying to express, and his heart shook sharply.

Tu Gushan turned out to be a tomb of the Son of Heaven, which is too unbelievable, but listening to that person's tone seems to be quite sure, but Zilong doesn't fully believe it.

If Tu Gushan was just an emperor's tomb, there was no need to be so cautious, even the person who found the entrance to the cave would have to kill it, not to mention, who would build a tomb so strange?

Hole? Zilong seemed to vaguely remember one of the holes that were hundreds of feet deep, but he really couldn't believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world.

Listening to the two of them say goodbye, and there was no more sound, Zilong sat down, his heart was disturbed, all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, and he vaguely saw a trace of conspiracy in it.

Lord Fei Lian is also the leader, Zilong is very sure that it is Fei Lianbo.

When Fei Lianbo discussed with him about going to Funiu Village to capture the team leader, he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but Fei Lianbo's reason was very good, and the fact was that he could borrow Zilong's hand to smash Helan Xiao's conspiracy to empty his rights.

However, this encirclement and suppression of Funiu Village, no matter how you think about it, does not seem to be a bad thing for Tucheng and the tribal alliance.

First, it can make Chengzhou stable and less banditry, and second, even if the encirclement and suppression fail, it will be a heavy blow to the tribes, and Fei Lianbo will definitely like to hear it.

But he chose to sabotage this encirclement and suppression, and even for this reason, the entire 10,000 acres of mountainous land on Funiu Ridge were presented to the imperial court and rewarded Zilong.

Thinking of this, Zilong somewhat understood why he had that feeling of being surrounded by conspiracy in the first place.

Fei Lianbo is really an old fox, so scheming, he almost made Zilong fall in love.

He first used Zilong to eradicate dissidents, regain power in his hands, and purge opposition.

And then the Funiu Ridge rewarded Zilong, with the remnants of the original people of the Funiu Village here, no one would dare to come here to act recklessly, so he could look for the entrance in peace.

If you find the entrance, first turn the emperor's mound upside down, and then quietly smuggle away the treasures you find, and then wipe out all the people who love it, and it is likely that these people include everyone in Funiu Village.

If you can't find the entrance, you can just stop it, and you can even add a name to yourself to help Zilong defend Funiu Ridge during the construction of Funiu Village, so that Zilong will be grateful to Dade.

If it is discovered by ordinary people, it can be done in a grand manner, and if it is discovered by the imperial court, it can also be blamed on Zilong in one fell swoop, after all, this is the territory that has been praised by the imperial court and rewarded to Zilong!

The brain hole was opened, Zilong slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized that Fei Lianbo had unknowingly laid a seamless net in front of Zilong.

When the time is ripe, Fei Lianbo tightens this big net a little, and there may be countless treasures in it, and no matter how bad it is, there will be a lamb to the slaughter in the net - it is Zilong!

Zilong thought about it again and again, and kept this matter in his heart, although the treasures in the emperor's tomb were very attractive, but what Zilong valued more was to find Cordyceps as soon as possible and detoxify Niu Yilang.

Niu Yilang is not only Zilong's brother, but also works for Zilong's Funiu Village every day, and these things are still done under the condition that he is highly poisoned.

Zilong found him some antidote, even if it was a little dangerous and hopeless, but what was it?

This is Zilong's principle, his mind is settled, he gets up, and when he comes to the place where the two of them are talking, he really sees a few clear springs, and the clear water flowing out of them bubbles into a thin stream, and the water from other springs merges into a stream.

Zilong looked at these springs, it was so concentrated, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the more he looked at it, the more strange it felt, but it was important to hurry, Zilong didn't have time to take care of it, took some water, and continued to climb.

It took nearly two days to reach the bottom of the snow line.

The temperature here was already very low, and Zilong felt a little cold, but Xingxi finally arrived at his destination, and without any further delay, he started to move.

Although Zilong still knew about Cordyceps in his previous life, he had never seen where wild Cordyceps would grow.

At this time, the general location has been found, and any experience and common sense are no longer important, and they can only be found inch by inch on the somewhat wet and rather cold ground.

In these two days, Zilong's water source is a trickle of snow water that melts at noon, and he eats grass roots and some rhizome developed roots, and if he wants to sleep, he looks for a col or depression, just to avoid the wind.

Fortunately, on the way to climb the mountain, I once met a wild goat that I don't know whether it was old and dead and the body was gnawed by someone or bitten by some fire.

Zilong peeled off the remaining sheepskin, and only then did he have a miniature wind-sheltering quilt.

In just four days, Zilong was described as withered, his face was dull, and his physical strength was not much left due to rapid consumption and insufficient replenishment.

Looking at the mountains that had been turned up in a mess by himself, Zilong smiled bitterly, maybe it was time to find some high-energy food to replenish his strength.

On the morning of the fifth day, the sky was clear, the blue sky was like washing, such an environment was rare in Zilong's previous life, it was simply rare in ten thousand years, after waking up slowly, Zilong rested for a while, and was ready to look for a while, just go down and find some food.

After eating some remaining mutton jerky, Zilong was about to start his work, when he suddenly heard a very familiar, but it seemed to be a long-lost voice.

"Well, the old man hasn't eaten dried mutton for a long time, and he still doesn't respect the old man!"

When Zilong heard this voice, his heart turned over, and he was overjoyed.

Regardless of the serious lack of physical strength, he jumped up from the ground and looked around, and sure enough, he saw that familiar figure, dressed in cloth, still sloppy and embarrassed, with snow-white hair, it was like a bird's nest, but his face was ruddy and his spirit was excellent.

Zilong saw that familiar face, and forgot his words for a while, knelt down with an ordinary voice, and choked up: "Master! ”

The person who came was Zilong, the divine dragon saw the head but not the tail, and Huayang, known as the prime minister in the mountains, lived in seclusion Tao Hongjing.

Zilong has been away from Cloud City for more than a month, and in the past month or so, he has experienced many things, but he doesn't even have an acquaintance around him, and he can only bear it alone.

Suddenly seeing an acquaintance, of course he was overjoyed, not to mention that this acquaintance was still his master, the master who made his fate take a major turn, Zilong was of course even more overjoyed.

Although Tao Hongjing, the master, was a little incompetent, throwing down the mud pills and parchment rolls and running away, but since the moment he apprenticed, he seemed to have become Zilong's only relative in this era.

Whether it is from the relationship between the two or Tao Hongjing's help to Zilong, Zilong has identified this master and this relative.

Originally, when he saw the master, he was so excited that he almost left a man's tears, but Tao Hongjing was really extraordinary, and in two sentences, this warm reunion picture completely changed the style of painting.

"Good apprentice, don't hide it, I smell the smell of dried mutton. Hurry up, bring me some to eat! ”

When Zilong heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh, and the tears that finally came to his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he shrank back again.

After taking out some mutton jerky and a bag of water on the ground, Zilong got up and asked, "Master, you have been cultivating for so long, and you haven't reached that 'ass stage'?" ”

Tao Hongjing didn't blush when he heard this, he shook off his cheeks and chewed on the outrageously hard mutton jerky, then poured a big mouthful of water, and said coaxing from the cowhide: "What do you know, the old man is nostalgic for fireworks in the world, and eating it is just to satisfy his hunger!" ”

After speaking, he took care of himself and started a protracted battle with the mutton jerky, without any scruples about Zilong's playful and puzzled eyes.

"Good apprentice, what are you doing here? Did you come out of here to pay tribute to the mutton jerky for the teacher? Can a living person be hidden in the grass or under the rocks? When did you become so stupid? ”

When Zilong heard this, he knew that the master was making fun of him, and he was not embarrassed, so he wanted to explain his intentions.

Who knew that Tao Hongjing actually stretched out his hand, stopped Zilong's nagging, and said: "The master is waiting for a vermilion fruit to ripen, and I am afraid that I will be exploited by the treasure protection beast, and I can't get out, otherwise I will go down the mountain early." ”

As he spoke, he threw over a small cloth bag, Zilong opened the cloth bag, and saw that there were hundreds of cordyceps neatly stacked inside, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master, how did your old man know that I came to find this?" Could it be that Brother Niu was really saved by you? ”

Tao Hongjing's protracted battle with mutton jerky continued, and he didn't raise his head and said: "That little baby is quite well-behaved, although he has gone astray, but he is righteous, and he just helped him as a teacher." ”

Zilong knew that this matter was really Tao Hongjing's doing, so he no longer asked, but muttered: "Master, you left so many ancient books, but don't you know that the apprentices are illiterate?" The method of guiding Tuna, the apprentices can't do it yet, the master is really ......"

Zilong's muttering made Tao Hongjing chuckle and looked at Zilong meaningfully.

"The opportunity has not yet arrived, but it won't take long, as for the guide Tuna, when the teacher is busy with this matter, he will give you a little guidance, with your qualifications, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Chance, chance, is Tao Hongjing related to this hegemony auxiliary system? Why is his tone like a system, could it be that upgrading skills can really only be relied on?

But when he heard that Tao Hongjing was going to instruct him, he was still secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Master, will you stay this time?" You won't just throw me something and run away again, right? ”

Tao Hongjing pretended to be angry and said with a straight face: "What kind of disciple are you?" Is that what you say about the master? What is the meaning of escaping, the master is called the dragon to see the head but not the tail! ”

Zilong felt a chill in his heart, but when he saw Tao Hongjing, he suddenly said: "This matter is not over yet, I have to wait for someone as a teacher, and when he comes, I can go to the free again!" ”

Zilong saw that Tao Hongjing's face suddenly darkened, and he was puzzled, and wanted to ask him who he was waiting for, but he was afraid of making Tao Hongjing sad even more, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Master, the apprentice was rescued by a benefactor on the road, but the benefactor died for me, leaving his son and entrusting me to take care of him, I want to take him as an apprentice, I wonder if the master will agree?"

Tao Hongjing listened to Zilong's words, didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
