Ye Jiuqing stopped at the point, Ying Chengyuan is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't ask much, and only left a sentence, if it is useful to him, although he has no words.

"Brother Ye, there are a lot of friends outside who haven't seen each other for many years, I'll go out to say hello first, they come back this time, and they still have something to talk about with Brother Ye." Ying Chengyuan turned around and left after speaking.

"What else?" Ye Jiuqing looked serious.

I told Ye Jiuqing everything about the temple and what happened in Guanzhong, and of course, when I met Zhuo Mingfeng and Xie Tianhui, I didn't mention their identities.

"Qingqiu Jade Ruins?" Ye Jiuqing leaned back on the chair and tapped his fingers a few times. "There is still such a place, I have dug graves all my life and never heard of it."

"Zhiqiu is now in Jiangxi, and she found a place called the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities there, and we speculate that Qingqiu Jade Ruins and the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities are likely to be the same place." I'll go into great detail. "However, after Tu Shuang was killed by Wen Ru, the clues in his hand fell on Wen Ru, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gather them for a while."

"This old fox, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry and moved to kill." Ye Jiuqing waved his hand and said coldly. "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, since I know that the things are in Wen Ru's hands, don't say that he is in Jiangxi, even the ends of the earth, I can let him hand it over."

"Leave him alone for the time being, Wen Ru should continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities when he returns to Jiangxi, this will undoubtedly help us save a lot of time, let him find it in Jiangxi first, I told Zhiqiu to let her pay close attention to Wen Ru's every move, if he really finds out, it is not too late for us to go to Jiangxi." I say.

"Then Regret Yuan said that you have something, isn't that what you mean?" Ye Jiuqing frowned.

"I'm asking you something, but it's been a long time." I handed the pawn ticket handed over to us by Ji Yunsheng in front of Ye Jiuqing. "This pawn ticket belongs to our pawnshop, right?"

Ye Jiuqing was actually happy when he saw it, and said with emotion: "It's early, not long after I opened a pawnshop, this is still the earliest batch of pawn tickets, speaking of which, I haven't seen it for decades, where did you find this thing?" ”

"Do you remember someone coming to the pawnshop to pawn a bronze plate?" I hurriedly asked. "The people who come to pawn are the horse gangs who take the ancient tea horse road."

"Bronze plate ......" Ye Jiuqing scratched his sparse hair with his fingers and pondered for a long time. I don't know how to answer what you asked, and you haven't been in a pawnshop, and there are hundreds of bronze plates in your hands, so how do I know which one you're talking about? ”

We were speechless, and Ji Yunsheng told us that the horse gang pawned the bronze plate, as for the style and characteristics of the bronze plate, it is estimated that even Ji Yunsheng does not know, and he does not know how to describe it to Ye Jiuqing for a while.

"Ye, Ye shopkeeper." Xue Xinrou shouted solemnly beside her.

"Who is this?" Ye Jiuqing hadn't seen Xue Xinrou before, so she looked at me and asked.

I told Ye Jiuqing about Xue Xinrou, he looked at Xue Xinrou and suddenly smiled with emotion: "I really can't remember, since forty years ago, I went to Kunlun Jinque with your grandfather, that is, I have been in the same boat, speaking of which, you are also an old man, let go when you come to me." ”

"Shopkeeper Ye, this is a pattern that my grandfather left in his notes, we asked people in the know, and said that this pattern was originally a jade inlaid on a bronze plate, can you see if you have any impressions." Xue Xinrou nodded and smiled, and generously took the note to Ye Jiuqing.

Ye Jiuqing took it and looked at it for a long time, and when the notes were put down from his eyes, I found that his expression had become solemn, and he turned his head to look at me. "Go and call your Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhao."

As soon as I saw Ye Jiuqing's expression, I knew that there was a play, I hurriedly called Zhao Yan and Feng Cheng to the room, Ye Jiuqing handed them the notes without saying a word, and the two of them looked at it carefully for a long time.

"Where did it come from?" Zhao Yan's eyes were blazing.

"Grandpa Xinrou once sold a piece of residual jade, which is the pattern drawn in the notes, according to the jade seller, the jade is a complete totem put together, inlaid on a bronze plate, and he pawned the bronze plate to our pawnshop." I say.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan turned his head and walked out, Feng Cheng looked at Ye Jiuqing and said seriously: "Brother Ye, on the day when you washed your hands in a golden basin, Chao Ge gave you a generous gift." ”

"Yes, as long as I am eyeing things in my life, there is nothing that I can't find, but this one is like a fish in my throat, I didn't expect that before I retired, I could still do this thing." Ye Jiuqing smiled faintly.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I couldn't wait to look back and forth at Ye Jiuqing and Feng Cheng.

Ye Jiuqing told us unhurriedly that there were only two things he hadn't done in his life, one was that he didn't find the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace, but after all, it was something that had been passed down for thousands of years, and it was understandable that he couldn't find it.

But there is another thing he didn't find, Ye Jiuqing recalled the past, not long after he opened the pawnshop in the four directions, he saw a person selling bronze plates in Xiaoguan Temple, and asked the origin of the person who didn't say anything, but Ye Jiuqing found that the craftsmanship of the bronze plate and the ornamentation on it were quite peculiar, and it was definitely not a Central Plains artifact.

He still remembers the lines engraved on the bronze plate, which was a city-state different from the Central Plains, surrounded by a huge snake, and in the sky above the ancient city, the sun and the moon appeared at the same time.

"In the great wilderness, there is a mountain named Fengfu Yumen, where the sun and the moon enter, and the sun and the moon enter the ......," the palace lord blurted out.

"It seems that you already know about Lingshan." Feng Cheng nodded and took Ye Jiuqing's words. "At that time, Brother Ye was just curious, so he asked the man to take the bronze plate to the pawnshop and pawn it, seeing that the person didn't look like a person who would come back to redeem it, so he asked him to sign the thing, I still have some research on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, when Brother Ye handed over the bronze plate to me, I never expected that it was extremely similar to the Lingshan recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Zhao Yan came back from outside, closed the door and put the box in his hand on a few cases, and took out a palm-sized bronze plate from the inside, we hurriedly surrounded it, the bronze plate was stained with patina, and the patterns engraved on it could be vaguely recognized.

"I think I can tell the real from the fake at a glance, but this thing really stumped me." Zhao Yan pointed to the bronze plate and said to us. "This object is not a vessel from the Central Plains, it took me a long time to deduce the age of the bronze plate, it should be about fifty years before and after the Western Jin Dynasty, but the problem is that the process used in the bronze plate, even if some of it is still not reached."

"The Book of Mountains and Seas was written in the pre-Qin period, but it appeared on the bronze plate of the Western Jin Dynasty, and this thing is not a Central Plains artifact, in the Western Jin Dynasty, foreign races will not be interested in the Book of Mountains and Seas, let alone engraved on the bronze, the only explanation, the Lingshan recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas is real, and the people living in Lingshan made this bronze plate." Feng Cheng said.

"At first, I was just curious about this thing, but after I brought it back, Feng Cheng said to me, if Lingshan really exists, it is not as simple as a mountain, Lingshan is a country, and it is a country that you don't expect." Ye Jiuqing said calmly.

"An ancient city built of gold." I said with a smile.

"......" Feng Cheng, Zhao Yan and Ye Jiuqing glanced at each other, and Ye Jiuqing smiled faintly. It seems that you already know the secrets of Lingshan. ”

I told Ji Yunsheng and Xue Shuqiao about the origin of the bronze plate, but I was very curious and asked: "The people of the horse gang also learned from the owner of the bronze plate that Lingshan is a golden ancient city, but how do you know?" ”

"There is a golden house in the book, and if you are told to read more books on weekdays, you just turn a deaf ear." Feng Cheng complained to me again, and then said unhurriedly. "If you have carefully read the Book of Mountains and Seas, you will know that Fengfu Yumen is a golden mountain, and there is an original text mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas, and there is a record of gold mining and building a city in Lingshan, since Lingshan is real, it is not groundless to mine gold and build a city."

"When Feng Cheng told me this, I almost didn't regret it, and then I went back to find the person who pawned the bronze plate, but I was nowhere to be found, only a bronze plate, and there was no origin, even if I knew that there was a golden city in this world, I didn't know how to start."

Ye Jiuqing smiled bitterly and said to us, he has been thinking about it afterwards, at that time Ye Jiuqing was arrogant, and he wanted to find Lingshan Jincheng, they discussed and speculated together for a long time, judging from the ornaments on the bronze plate, the closest ethnic minorities in the southwest region.

If Lingshan exists, then the culture of Lingshan will not be inherited for thousands of years, and some of it should be passed on, so Ye Jiuqing and the others have gone to the gathering places of ethnic minorities in the southwest region many times to investigate, but there is no one that can match the bronze plate ornament.

"I plan to give up in the end, sometimes I have to have it in my life, maybe this Lingshan Jincheng and I Ye Jiuqing have no chance, who knows, I found an ancient Shu ruins in Shu, from the unearthed artifacts, I actually found that the pattern style on it is similar to the bronze plate." Ye Jiuqing said seriously.

"Ancient Shu Ruins?" I frowned, a little confused. "Lingshan should not be in the Central Plains, but it should not belong to the ancient Shu culture, and the inscription style on the bronze plate is completely out of tune with the ancient Shu culture."

"This doesn't matter, I don't know the origin of the bronze plate, but I found the origin of the ancient Shu ruins, and I actually let me know the origin of the bronze plate." Ye Jiuqing smiled proudly.

"You know where the bronze plate came from!" We asked excitedly in unison.

Ye Jiuqing nodded to Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan took out a folded piece of paper from the previous box and slowly unfolded it in front of us, on the paper was a strange pattern, composed of very unfamiliar lines, those lines were between the snake pattern and the dragon pattern, entangled with each other, like a giant snake composed of many lines.

Xue Xinrou hurriedly took out the piece of mutilated ancient jade that Ji Yunsheng handed over to her, and slowly placed it in the corner of the paper, the broken lines on the ancient jade and the patterns on the paper overlapped with each other.

Xue Xinrou looked up at us ecstatically, the pattern on this piece of paper must be the ornament inlaid on the bronze plate.
