After he was full of wine and food, Mo Wuwen kept shaking his head while he was drunk, and deliberately asked him, "Duojin." Suolongjing has always been safe and sound. ”

"How could it be. Dong Yu Zampu instructed no one to move the bricks and tiles of the lock Longjing, and if anyone violated, the heavy should be punished and the light one should be heavy. ”

"Didn't anyone move the idea of the bluestone in the underground river?"

"What bluestone? We don't know about the matter of locking the dragon well, and all the secrets are only known to Dong Yu Zampu and the Heavenly Master. Otherwise, I will send you to Qingtang City in the morning, and you can ask Dong Yu Zampu yourself. Dorkin's eyes were almost open, but he was still a little conscious.

"Uh-huh." Mo Wuwen was afraid that if he spoke more, he would expose that he was not a heavenly master, so he was vague and prevaricated a few times.

The Celestial Master was the honored guest, and the villagers gave up the bungalow on the hill to Mo Wuwen to live in. Mo Wuwen waited for the villagers to leave, and asked Xu Ye anxiously: "What is going on in this country?" ”

"The state of Tubo is a dynasty established by the descendants of a tribal leader in the Huangshui Valley of Qinghai centered on the Qingtang Dynasty (now Xining), which is dominated by the Tubo and Qiang people. At its peak, its territory reached Sandu Valley in the southeast, Qishan in the north, Guoluo in Qinghai in the south, and Qinghai Lake in the west. Xu Ye talked about Qingtang City endlessly, and he couldn't stop talking.

"What does Dong Yu Zampu mean?

"Dong Yu is the third son of the Guy, after his father's death. Dong Yu became the second generation of Zampu, occupied the north of the Yellow River, attached to the Song Dynasty to fight against the Western Xia, and also served as the envoy of the Baoshun Army. "Xu Ye has a lot of remorse about the history of the country.

"Then Brother Xu, we will go to Qingtang City tomorrow to see Dong Yu Zampu, he should know some secrets of the Heavenly Master. But how can I pretend to be an amnesiac Heavenly Master? Brother Xu, you have to instill in me the knowledge of Qingtang City, so that if I lie, at least a little bit of Dong Yu will believe me. ”

Qingtang City is located in Xining City, the Western Han Dynasty was named Xiping Pavilion by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a military stronghold, the Tang Dynasty was called Shancheng here, after the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo seized Shancheng from the Tang Dynasty defenders. The city is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and the forests on the mountain are towering and verdant, so the Tubo people call this place the Qingtang City. At that time, the Western Xia Kingdom rose up to control the Hexi Corridor, and the caravans, envoys and merchants of various countries between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia City were often plundered, so they took a detour to change to Qingtang City, and then went west from the southern part of Qinghai Lake through the Qaidam Basin. Qingtang City then became an important town on the South Silk Road and the Tangbo Ancient Road. ”

"That Qingtang City should be very prosperous and lively."

"Qingtang City is prosperous, that's a sure thing, not to mention that Qingtang City also has the most prestigious Qingtang armor. It is said that the Qingtang armor is iron-colored and blue-black, cold-forged and smelted, crystal like a mirror, and can even shine human hair. Someone tried the quality of the armor, and at a distance of 50 paces, even the sharpest bow and arrow could not get into it. The generals of the Western Regions were proud to have obtained the deputy Qingtang armor. ”

"Oh, then the country is also a rich place. Brother Xu, rest. Tomorrow we will go into Qingtang City. Mo Wuwen stretched his waist and yawned, sure he was a little tired.

The early morning in the wilderness was cold and windy, but the rising sun still brought a little warmth. Duojin drove a yak cart to carry and change into the costumes of the Tubo people, Mo Wuwen and Xu Ye, loaded some barley wine and butter tea brewed by the villagers and sent them to Qingtang City to exchange some silver taels to buy some daily necessities.

The yak cart walked slowly, but when the sun was setting, they were also close to the gate of Kuaiqing Tang City, and Duojin said to Mo Wuwen and them, "Let's find an inn to live in first, and after dawn, I will go to Dongcheng to sell the goods first, and then send you to Xicheng Zanpu Palace." ”

"Good, good. It is said that there are many shops in the east of Qingtang City, and merchants from all over the Western Regions and the Central Plains gather. You can buy anything bizarre, and we're going to see the excitement. Xu Ye hurriedly said, afraid that the end of the unheard question would be exposed.

Hearing Xu Ye say this, a thought suddenly surged into Mo Wuwen's heart: "Could it be that the bluestone tied to the iron cable of the Heavenly Master was accidentally obtained in the bazaar of Qingtang City?" ”

On the outskirts of Qingtang City, Duojin parked the yak cart next to the simple Yuecheng Inn, and said to Mo Wuwen: "Heavenly Master, you will stay here for a night, Ming'er, we will sell the goods, I will invite you to eat a meal of roasted yak meat." ”

"Dorkin. Don't we look at those barley wines, so much butter tea, at night? What if someone steals it. Mo Wuwen kindly reminded Dorkin.

"Heavenly Master, don't worry. If the goods are lost in the inn, the inn's reputation will fall to the ground and no one will stay. The same is true for Qingtang City, if the goods of the merchants are not guaranteed in Qingtang City, then there are still merchants who dare to come to Qingtang City to trade? Dong Yu Zampu promulgated the law in Qingtang City, and those who steal should be punished with heavy sticks, so it is impossible for goods to be stolen in Qingtang City. ”

"There will always be some thieves who are not afraid of death, right?"

"For the sake of our worthless things, they risk being put to death to steal, unless they are kicked in the head by a donkey."

"Yes, yes, re-enactment. I strongly support this! Xu Ye applauded.

The so-called inn is a large courtyard surrounded by rows of bungalows, but there are greenhouses in the courtyard for merchants to store goods, and each guest room has a relative greenhouse.

Dokin bolted the yak cart and covered the goods with cowhides. He went to the guest room, took out the bread he brought from his bag, and put the food and barley wine in front of Mo Wuwen, and said, "Eat, eat, eat, drink, and sleep well." ”

Tuk tuk, a slight knock on the door. While biting on the glutinous rice cake, Dorjin impatiently rushed to the door and shouted, "Who! ”

"Uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and low price. ”

"Don't, don't, don't want anything jade. Go, go, don't bother. Duo Jinli ignored it and continued to take the barley wine and drank it all.

"Hetian Yu?" I don't know if I heard it wrong.

"Heavenly Master. If it is a good Hetian jade, it will be sold in the market at once, and it will be sent to the door to sell? Drink and drink, if you are interested, I will take you to the shop of a friend of the Hotan people to buy it, and you will be satisfied. ”

"Uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and low price. The people outside the door didn't seem to pay attention to Dorkin's way of evicting customers, and still didn't leave, but continued to repeat the words and knock on the door.

"It seems that if you don't drive you away, you won't leave, right?" Dorking stood up a little unhappily and slammed the door open, but there was no one outside. Dorking stretched out his head to look left and right, but he didn't see anyone, so he closed the door and shouted, "Count you as acquaintances, otherwise if you don't beat you, I won't be called Dorkin!" ”

"What about people?" Mo Wuwen asked Dorjin a little curiously.

"I was scared away, these jade dealers are like this, don't scare them like this and refuse to leave." Dorkin said with a smile.

"Uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and low price. But at this time, the voice of the jade dealer outside the door sounded unrelentingly.

Dorking was really annoyed this time, who came over and knocked on the door again and again to sell goods. Woo Boom pulled the door open and clenched his fists and was ready to hit it! But, hell, the door was still empty and no one was there.

Dorjin stepped out of the house to see where the jade dealer was hiding!

Although the yard is not small, it is still easy to be spotted by anyone walking around the yard. If it weren't for the fact that Dorking heard people's shouts three times, he would have thought that he had misheard, and there was no one in front of him except the wind blowing and stirring up the mud and sand!

"Who's playing a prank?" Mo Wuwen also walked out of the door, and suddenly the celadon piece in his arms trembled slightly, buzzing. Mo Wuwen immediately became vigilant and looked around.

"Uncle. Hetian jade, good goods and low price. The recurring voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Mo Wuwen hurriedly looked back, and a figure appeared in front of him rushing over. The last reflex of Wuwen was to reach out and push it, and the figure stepped back and shouted, "It's me, Wuwen!" ”

Mo Wuwen looked at Xu Ye in front of him and immediately asked, "Did you see anyone?" ”

"Nope. I also heard the shouts of people, and when I saw you going out, I also came out to see, and as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw you pushing me with your hand. Xu Ye felt a little inexplicable and said.

Voices are heard by all, and there is no doubt about it. But what about people, are people so transparent that no one can see the person who speaks, and what is strange is that the voice always repeats the phrase "uncle." Hetian jade, good goods and low price. ”

Mo Wuwen and Dorkin's circle around the courtyard again, but they didn't see anyone or hear anyone talking.

"Do you think people are hiding in the next room?" Xu Ye felt that this was the only reason that could be explained.

There was a creak, and the door on the opposite side opened. The shopkeeper of the inn Lu poked his head out when he heard the movement, and saw Duojin and Mo Wuwen standing in the courtyard, and asked, "Duojin, what are you doing?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lu. We all heard human voices just now, but we didn't see anyone. Dorkin's eyes were still looking around for a trace.

"Ahh Shopkeeper Lu shouted in horror.

"Do you see anything?" Mo Wuwen saw the demeanor of the shopkeeper Lu and thought that he should know something, but he didn't expose him.

"No, no, no, I didn't see anything. Hurry up and go to bed, it'll be okay at dawn, it'll be fine~~" Shopkeeper Lu immediately turned around and closed the door in a panic.

"Shopkeeper Lu~" Duojin shouted to the door of the shopkeeper Lu.

"Dorkin. Hurry up and go back to the room, don't come out~~" The trembling voice of the frightened shopkeeper Lu came from the room.

"It's really a ghost!" Dokin walked into the room in annoyance.

"Ghost!" Mo Wuwen suddenly opened the hole, thinking that he couldn't see anyone when he heard the sound and the shopkeeper Lu was so frightened, it wasn't a ghost. However, he was a little skeptical of his own inference, whether in the Song Dynasty or in the modern day, when the celadon pieces were buzzing, he could always see souls and ghosts, but now he saw nothing.

Hearing Mo Wuwen shouting ghosts, Xu Ye suddenly realized, "No wonder the shopkeeper said that it would be okay at dawn, ghosts are afraid of the sun." ”
