Chapter 161: Death-free Gold Medal
Yu Fu pouted and laughed when he heard the words and didn't ask, usually the person who sold Guan Zi would tell the truth by himself in the end, because he didn't say that he was panicked, but Yu Fu miscalculated, Zuo Dengfeng then said all about the surrounding scenery and local customs, and he didn't mention why he laughed just now.
There is no way to go back and ask again, otherwise it seems that there is no Chengfu and Nai, but she is really puzzled in her heart, and the time she has been with Zuo Dengfeng is not short, and it is the first time she has seen him laugh so much, so she wants to know why.
"Don't sell it, let's talk about it, why did you laugh just now." was about to walk back to the town, Yufu finally pulled the topic back, she wanted to know that the reason why Zuo Dengfeng laughed was not simply curiosity, but she wanted to know what kind of things could make Zuo Dengfeng happy, knowing this, she could get along with Zuo Dengfeng better.
"Serve Uncle Ben well, and I can't treat you badly in the end." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and patted Yufu's shoulder.
"Serving you." Hearing this, Jade Fu snorted coldly and glanced at him.
Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng retracted his smile, although Yu Fu snorted coldly, the expression on his face was slightly joyful, which showed that Yu Fu had misunderstood his previous sentence, in fact, what Yu Fu was thinking in his heart was not the same thing as what he was thinking in his heart.
"Stingy, can't afford to joke." Yu Fu saw Zuo Dengfeng restraining his smile, thinking that he was unhappy in his heart.
"Haha, tease you." Zuo Dengfeng changed the topic with a smile, and walked quickly to the house where he settled, although the jade whisk was very cold and arrogant, it was also different from person to person, the female lion was extremely fierce to other animals, but it was extremely gentle to the male lion.
When they came to the door, they heard the shouting of iron shoes and the whining of the middle-aged natives from the yard.
"It's all your fault, you have to let me shave my hair, and wait for a fast at night." When Iron Shoes saw Zuo ascending the peak and returned, he immediately vented his dissatisfaction at him.
"What's going on?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
"I want to eat the meat," he said, pointing to the old man's scar and shaking his head. Iron Shoes pointed to the bacon and air-dried chickens and ducks hanging on the wall.
Seeing the two returning, the native once again stretched out his hand and pointed to the crown hairpin on the head of the jade whisk, his meaning was obvious, the monk and Taoist priest could not eat meat, Zuo Dengfeng saw this and took out a gold bar from his arms and handed it over, and then pointed to the things on the wall, the master understood, and happily took the meat to cook.
After dinner, Zuo Dengfeng sat cross-legged and began to divide yin and yang, which is a natural process, no thrill and no danger, in the early hours of the morning, the work is gathered, and the head of the hundred feet rises another foot.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't feel overly happy about the improvement of his cultivation, because the ability brought by the previous point of yin and yang was enough for him to use.
After breakfast, Zuo Dengfeng bought rice, and the three of them went on the road.
As soon as he got on the road, Zuo Dengfeng immediately felt the benefits of cultivation for promotion, even if he carried a lot of food and carried thirteen, he was still lightweight, and easily surpassed the jade whisk and iron shoes more than ten zhang in a jump, at this moment Zuo Dengfeng found that cultivation was still useful for promotion, moving faster, and cultivating more spiritual energy, in fact, the yin and yang life and death recipe can also derive a large number of domineering spells, but unfortunately Zuo Dengfeng's energy was not put on it, his main energy was put on the study of the formation, as the golden needle said, He gave up the opportunity to climb the ladder and went sideways instead.
Behind closed doors has the advantage of being behind closed doors, that is, you can calmly think about what may happen, but field trips are also indispensable, while tracing the river, Zuo Dengfeng found that many of those who thought before were useless, because the terrain here is very complex, flat land, forests, valleys, ravines, sinkholes, waterfalls, deep pools, mountains, these terrains are mixed together, three people lined up for twenty miles after each person faces the terrain is not the same, it is difficult to maintain the distance between each other, In addition, the climate here is also hot and cold, the terrain is gentle and the temperature is high, and an hour later, when you arrive at the higher ground, you find snow on the back of the mountain, and the temperature is close to freezing.
Among the three of them, Zuo Dengfeng is in the riverside area, Yufu is on the right, and Iron Shoes is on the right, Zuo Dengfeng and Yufu are responsible for the main search work, talk in advance, and notify each other if they find abnormalities, and Iron Shoes keeps shouting along the way, because he has seen a lot of animals that he has not seen before, and the complexity of the terrain and the difference in temperature make the animals here strange.
"That's not what we're looking for." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and looked at the black-haired wild boar that had been knocked down by the iron shoes.
"It was in the water just now." Iron Shoes stretched out his hand and pointed to the waterhole not far away.
"Pigs are natural swimmers, and the pig we're looking for is bigger than this one and has a collar around its neck." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and shook his head.
"Don't shout, mainly look for abandoned cities." Jade Fu sighed heavily, it was the third time that the two of them had been called over by Iron Shoes.
Although the terrain in the mountains is treacherous and the terrain is complex, there are villages from time to time, which are more primitive, small in number, poorly dressed, and do not understand what is said.
Zuo Dengfeng's attention has been on the river surface and the densely wooded area along the riverside, but at noon the terrain began to change, the two sides of the river are no longer flat riverside, but towering peaks, the river passes through the canyon between the two peaks, Zuo Dengfeng can only fly on the cliff near the river to find, but in this way, the towering mountain peaks cut off the connection between the three people, Zuo Dengfeng has to sweep to the top of the peak at an altitude of thousands of meters above sea level every time he goes forward for a period of time, and the jade whisk and iron shoes breathe each other to determine the position of each other, In this way, the speed of progress is greatly slowed down, and the most important thing is that the three of them will find a lot of suspicious clues along the way, as long as there are suspicious clues, they have to get together to check and confirm, even the clues provided by the iron shoes The two dare not ignore it.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Dengfeng found a huge cave near the river below the cliff, most of the cave is not in the water, it is located at the corner of the river, and the current is relatively gentle.
Calling the jade whisk and the iron shoes, the three of them looked at this huge cave together, the cave was about a zhang wide, the entrance of the cave was smooth, and there must be some animals living in it.
"There are animals in the holes, but they don't look like mammals." Yufu said.
"Why do you say that?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
"As far as I know, the only animals that burrow near the water are fish cats, but fish cats don't choose such a big hole, and most of this cave is in water, so they can't breathe." Jade Fu shook her head and said.
"Maybe the cave is curved upwards." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and said, the fish cat that Yufu said refers to otters, which are suspiciously used for fishing after training, but Zuo Dengfeng doesn't want otters inside, so he wants to go into the water to have a look.
"That's not going to work, if the river rises and it floods the cave, how can it breathe." Jade Whisk shook her head again.
"So what do you feel?" Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and unbuttoned his robe
"It should be snakes, only snakes dare to hide here, and only snakes can survive with a small amount of air after the cave enters the water, you better not go down." Yufu stretched out his hand and grabbed Zuo Dengfeng.
"Ah, I don't know how to swim." Iron Shoes interjected loudly when he heard this, madmen are sometimes very sensitive, as soon as Yu Fu said that he would not let Zuo Dengfeng go into the water, Iron Shoes mistakenly thought that he wanted him to go down, but if he was killed, he would not go down into the turbid river, let alone enter the dark and dangerous underwater cave.
"I'll go down with you." Jade Whisk said.
"No, I grew up by the sea, and my surname is good." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand to signal that Yufu did not need to be nervous.
Yufu didn't say anything more when she heard this, although she was worried about Zuo Dengfeng's safety, she had no right to prevent Zuo Dengfeng from going into the water to confirm.
Zuo Dengfeng quickly took off his robe and jumped into the river, he almost didn't think about it in this process, because he didn't dare to think too much, otherwise he would definitely be afraid, fear is the instinct of human beings to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it will not change because of the size of the ability.
The Jinsha River is actually the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, most of the river water here is the snow water of the iceberg, the river water is very cold, the cold is biting, but the cold river water makes Zuo Dengfeng's heart slightly settled, the lower the temperature, the worse the snake's ability to move, if it is really a big snake inside, there must not be much danger.
Holding his breath and entering the underwater cave, Zuo Dengfeng did not rely on vision at the moment, but the keen intuition brought by the Yin and Yang Technique, and his intuition told him that there was indeed danger in the cave, but this danger was not enough to endanger him.
The moment he saw the python, Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help but blow up his scalp, because he found that the cyan python was staring at him coldly, but this feeling was quickly suppressed by Zuo Dengfeng, he thought that snakes don't have eyelids, so they all kept their eyes open, and even if the python wanted to attack, he could also use Xuanyin True Qi to condense the river in this area into ice to stop it.
After determining that the python was not the target he was looking for, Zuo Dengfeng wanted to leave, but at an unintentional glance, he found that there was a golden rectangular sign on the right side of the stone platform where the python was entrenched.
"You guessed it, it's a female snake." After Zuo Dengfeng jumped out of the water, he said to the jade whisk who was waiting nervously, the snake is divided into male and female, the male snake tail is long, and the female snake tail is short, and you can roughly distinguish it by looking at the tail.
"Dry your clothes quickly." Yu Fu took the Taoist robe and urged, and the cultivators could rely on the yang energy in the body to dry their clothes.
"What is this?" The iron shoe detective took the sign that Zuo Dengfeng was holding in his hand.
"I don't know, I haven't had time to see what I picked up in the snake cave." Zuo Dengfeng quickly mobilized the aura in his body to resist the cold.
"Golden." Iron shoes weigh the weight of the brand.
"Yes, and it's gold." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said, the easiest way to tell whether gold is pure is to look at the color, pure golden with red, ordinary gold with yellow, mixed gold with green.
"There's a word on it." Iron Shoes said and handed the gold medal back to Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng took it and looked at it carefully, the gold medal was seven or eight centimeters wide, and there was a pinch long, which was engraved "Founding the country and avoided death" and "Twenty-eight"
"Gold medal for avoiding death." Jade Whisk took a closer look.
"Yes." Zuo Dengfeng nodded.
"Is it sent by King Wu of Zhou to the princes of Pu and Ji." Jade Fu asked.
"The gold of the Shang and Zhou dynasties did not have this purity, in addition, there was no death-free gold medal at that time, and the death-free gold medal is commonly known as the Danshu iron coupon, which is engraved with the reason for avoiding death and the name of the person who was entitled, this is too small, there is no reason to avoid death, and the workmanship is not very exquisite, it seems to be issued in batches." Zuo Dengfeng handed the gold medal to Yufu and sat down to put on his shoes.
"That's for whom." Jade Whisk put on a robe for Zuo Dengfeng.
"I don't know, but it's certainly not from the Shang and Zhou periods." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said.
"How to explain the founding of the country and the absence of death." Jade Fu asked.
"The founding of the country is not necessarily the opening of the Zhou Dynasty, it may be a later dynasty." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and shook his head, the appearance of the death-free gold medal made his heart darken again, which meant that after the Shang and Zhou periods, the people in this area also participated in a certain war, so the situation he faced was even more severe, and the difficulty of finding it also increased, because even if he found the ancient city, it was very likely that it was not from the Shang and Zhou periods.
