Weiyuan in the night is particularly quiet, in this West Qinling, on the road to Xinzhai shrouded in darkness, except for the call of the nightingale, nothing can be heard, we talked and laughed all the way, after about six hours, we came to the Silk Road town Xinzhai.

This new village is so big, it doesn't look like a town, right?

Xinyu, you don't know, this Xinzhai since ancient times is a place where soldiers must fight, but also the Silk Road town, where silk is abundant, back then, the Silk Road messenger Zhang Qian passed here, saw a white-haired old man was feeding a group of silkworms, Zhang Qian was surprised at that time, immediately ordered someone to move gold ten thousand taels to buy these silkworms, but was rejected by the old man.

No, isn't Zhang Qian crazy, buying these silkworms with 10,000 taels of gold, and the old man, has he never seen gold?

You don't know, the old man is rumored to raise a group of silkworms that are green, and the whole body is as translucent as crystal.

Oh, there are such silkworms in the world?

And what about later?

Zhang Qian felt incredible at these silkworms, thinking that the golden taels looked vulgar in the eyes of the old man, so he hurried to Chang'an to report the matter to Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han was very surprised when he heard it.

Oh, is that really the case?

Back to Your Majesty, the minister saw with his own eyes, the silkworm is crystal clear, it is definitely a rare silkworm species in the world, the old man didn't even look at the gold brought by the minister, the minister thought that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

I'm going to see for myself, and if you go and prepare a lot of jewelry, I don't believe it, there are still people in this world who are not interested in money.

Back to Your Majesty, since the old man has raised silkworm seeds that are unique to the world, he will naturally not be interested in these ordinary possessions.

Oh, Aiqing, what can I do about it?

Back to Your Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty have a rare treasure, Your Majesty can use it to give it a try.

What you are talking about is the treasure that General Huo Quzhi seized from the leader of the Xiongnu nobles on Wolf Juxu Mountain when he sealed Wolf Juxu.

That's right, that's it.

But there is only one treasure in time.

Back to Your Majesty, think about it, the green silkworm is a rare silkworm species in the world, not to mention a living creature, if Your Majesty can get them, why worry about not getting other treasures.

Aiqing's words are very reasonable, so let's exchange this thing for the silkworm, I want to see it for myself.

Okay, the minister will go and prepare immediately.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Qian and others rushed all the way to Xinzhai.

Your Majesty, just ahead.

Oh, an old man, how could he live alone in the middle of the mountains.

Back to Your Majesty, this place is called Crazy Man's Ridge by the local people, and I heard that there are often wild people here, robbing passers-by of their property.

Oh, and that sort of thing, it's definitely some rumors, it's all grass guys doing something bad here, you go check it out.

Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will go and find out about it.

Slow, don't rush first, first look at the unique silkworm species in the world.

Obey the order.

Look, Your Majesty, the old man lives in the bamboo forest.

When the old man saw Emperor Wu of Han and Zhang Qian's group, he didn't take them seriously and continued to feed his silkworms, as if he didn't see them.

Bold, I didn't salute when I saw His Majesty.

Hey, all stand down.

Emperor Wu of Han saluted the old man, and the old man nodded like Emperor Wu of Han.

Old man, I came to visit you on purpose, I heard that you have raised a group of silkworm seeds unique to the world, so I have come to open my eyes and gain a long insight.

The old man looked at Zhang Qian, who was walking with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It's you.

Old man, Your Majesty wants to see your silkworms.

Don't sell, don't sell, let's go.

Old man, can you let me take a look?

The old man saw Emperor Wu of Han pleading repeatedly, so he agreed to him. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw these silkworms, he was very moved.

If there really is such a thing in the world, I have opened my eyes today.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Zhang Qian a look, and Zhang Qian asked his subordinates to bring a full ten boxes of jewelry and five boxes of gold.

Old man, I want all these silkworms, these jewels are for you, if you don't think it's enough, just ask.

Don't sell, don't sell, go, move away, I don't sell silkworms.

Hey, old man, these jewels are enough for you to retire for a long time, besides, look at your age, after you leave, these silkworms are not in vain.

Don't sell, don't sell, let's go.

Your Majesty, what the minister said is right, this old man doesn't care about these things outside his body at all. Your Majesty should take that thing out.

That's it, that's all.

Old man, since these things can't get into your eyes, then I will exchange treasures with you, your silkworm is a unique silkworm species in the world, and it just so happens that I also have a rare treasure here, so it's better to let us.

Don't change, don't change, let's go.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took out an amethyst ice diamond from his sleeve, and the ice diamond looked like the tail of a green dragon, with gluttonous beast patterns on it, and a beast pattern, which even Emperor Wu of Han had never seen.

The old man looked back at the ice diamond in Emperor Wu of Han's hand, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and continued to feed its silkworms.

Emperor Wu of Han saw that the old man had no intention of exchanging, so he planned to leave. As soon as Emperor Wu of Han stepped out of the bamboo gate, suddenly the old man stopped Emperor Wu of Han.

Slow, I see that you are very attentive to my silkworm, I believe that you will not neglect my silkworm, since you are interested, exchange it with your treasure.

Oh, old man, you agreed to the exchange.

The old man touched his white beard and smiled. In this way, Emperor Wu of Han obtained the group of silkworms.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Qian and others left the Crazy Man Ridge and returned to Xinzhai, and as soon as they arrived in the town, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found that the silkworms had suddenly disappeared.

Gone, won't they, these silkworms have disappeared out of thin air?

Your Majesty, these silkworms have been by our side all the way, and I saw them just now, but in the blink of an eye, they are gone.

I looked for them all around, but I didn't believe it, they could still fly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian and others searched all around, but they did not find any trace of the green silkworm.

Your Majesty, let's go find the old man, and maybe he will find a way to get it back.

Yes, let's go.

At this time, it suddenly rained heavily, and the local people stopped Emperor Wu of Han and Zhang Qian and others.

Why did they stop Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

There has been a warning in Xinzhai throughout the ages, once it rains, no matter whether the rain is heavy or small, you can't enter the Crazy Man Ridge, otherwise.

How else is it?

Otherwise, I don't know, I heard from the people of the town that they had never seen anyone enter Mad Man Ridge on a rainy day again.

It's so scary 😱, oh my God, isn't it? Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally enter the Madman Ridge?

Of course not, they waited until the rain had passed and the sky was clear before they went to look for the old man, but when they got to the bamboo house, they found that it was empty, and they went into the bamboo house, which was full of cobwebs, and the tables were placed in a disorderly manner, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, and they found a corpse on the bamboo bed, which was rotten and surrounded by green flies, and even the bones on the right side of the face were exposed.

Oh, here's how.

I don't know, later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and sent the local general Zhao Jingfeng to lead his troops into the Madman Ridge to arrest the old man.

Could it be that the old man was just trying to deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into obtaining the Amethyst Ice Diamond.

Now that I think about it, it seems so.

Then why did the old man risk the crime of killing his head to deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's treasure?

I don't know about this.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forbade that those who dared to speak out about this matter would be killed, but the local people knew about it and passed it down from generation to generation.

And what about later?
