Chapter 138: The True Purpose of the Twelfth Floor
The humble cottages have all collapsed, and the corpses that were originally collectively cremated have been scattered everywhere, which is even more miserable. In the center of the hall, a huge pit of more than three feet www.biquge.info still emitting misty smoke.
"Miserable! It's miserable! What kind of evil have they created and they can't even die?" Yu Lang wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, his slightly narrowed eyes squeezed out an expression that was more ugly than crying.
"I understand!" Ning Yue looked at the huge pit emitting black smoke and sighed, this pit confirmed Ning Yue's guess.
Martial arts is really a good thing, it can make manpower infinite, can make people walk like flying, and can even call the wind and rain to move mountains and seas. People wanted to carry things, so internal forces were invented. If you don't want to touch the target, you invented the air inhaler, if the martial arts reach a higher place, can you step into the starry sky in one step?
Ning Yue and the four of them were all masters of the Jianghu martial arts, so they quickly regathered the scattered corpses. Then a pile of firewood was brought from the mountain road, and a fire was lit again.
"The 100,000 stone of grain transported from Gangbuk Province to Jinling was mixed with 10,000 stone of gunpowder. Governor Gao found out about this, so he withheld the grain and separated the gunpowder from the grain. Because of this, the high governor was wiped out......"
"Gunpowder? The twelfth floor is a good skill, and he can steal 10,000 stone of gunpowder from the Tiangong Pavilion and transport it to Jinling? What is the twelfth floor going to do? Who is 10,000 stone gunpowder going to deal with?" Shen Qing's face was completely gloomy.
Gunpowder can be said to be a great killer for their martial arts people, no matter how advanced the martial arts are, people are flesh and blood after all. The imperial court holds the gunpowder, which also means that the imperial court holds the hole card to suppress the martial arts people.
Gunpowder has not appeared in the people since its inception, and ordinary people don't even know that there is such a thing. Only the top martial arts forces knew about the existence of gunpowder, and the imperial court often used gunpowder to remind this group of Jianghu sects to pay attention to convergence.
Once the flames flow into the people, the harm is terrible and people dare not think about it, and the twelfth floor is about to use gunpowder against anyone. Although I knew that the methods on the twelfth floor were vicious, despicable, and shameless. But Shen Qing never expected that the twelfth floor would be so vicious that gunpowder would be used?
"My good man, 10,000 stone of gunpowder, this is going to blow up a hole in the sky!" Yu Lang didn't dare to joke, it was 10,000 stone of gunpowder, not 10,000 stone of cotton. Such a large amount of gunpowder, if properly arranged, is enough to serve the Jiangnan Dao martial arts in one pot.
"It seems that the danger of millions of lives is not without a target, this ten thousand stones of gunpowder is not a trivial matter! Fortunately, Governor Gao found out and seized it in advance, otherwise it would ......" Ning Yue rubbed her chin and suddenly turned her face to look at Qiong Xing beside her.
As if feeling Ning Yue's gaze, Qiong Xing frowned and glared at Ning Yuehui, "See what I'm doing?" Now I finally know that I didn't lie to you, right?"
"That secret fold was handed over to you by Governor Gao himself?"
"How many times do you want me to say it before you believe it?" Qiong Xing's eyes seemed to be able to breathe flames.
"No, I just wanted to confirm the purpose of Governor Gao in handing over the secret fold to you. I'm afraid Governor Gao didn't tell you to send the secret fold to the Yushitai, right? Where does he want you to send the secret fold?"
Qiong Xing lowered his head silently, his eyes dodging and not daring to look at Ning Yue's eyes again. Although Qiong Xing didn't say anything, Ning Yue knew that she had guessed it. The footsteps of the four people stopped, and Ning Yue just looked at Qiong Xing's eyes, and a strange atmosphere circulated among the four of them.
"It's the bloody hand! Governor Gao asked me to hand over the secret fold to the bloody hand of the four great gods, and gave me the contact information. But...... I lost my contact information while hiding from the twelfth floor......" After a long time, Qiong Xing said faintly.
"If you can't contact the bloody hand, you don't know how to complete Governor Gao's instructions, and you found me under the disease and went to the doctor?
You have to tell me earlier that this secret fold is for Lord Bloody Hand, I have long believed you, are you embarrassed to blame me? Ning Yue was extremely complaining in her heart, and she also began to face the contents of the secret fold ears.
"Outside the mountain, the white mountain has a thousand sails. Fire in the water, millions without roots. β
This kind of anagram has long been played badly in the previous life, the first half of the sentence is obviously a place, and the second half of the sentence is obviously an event. An event will take place somewhere, and the riddle can be solved by bringing in the names of the places that are linked.
Outside the mountain, the white mountain has a thousand sails. In Jinling, the only thing that can be associated with Baishan is Baiping Mountain by Mirror Lake. In addition, the scenery of Jinghu Lake is beautiful, and people will come to Jinghu Lake for boating on sunny days, even in the harsh winter and heat.
But in the second half of the sentence, there is a little headache for the millions of people in the water without roots. Fire in the water must refer to gunpowder, otherwise it would not have been possible to start such a fierce battle around gunpowder, and even Governor Gao lost the lives of his whole family for this. But what is so special about Jinghu that it needs to use gunpowder? Ning Yue said that she couldn't understand it.
After returning to the official road, the speed of the four of them also increased, and the four of them danced like cranes in a light way. The long sleeves danced, flickering and moving in the air, like the wind and smoke, and ethereal like clouds.
"Shen Qingβ" Ning Yue suddenly turned her face to wake up Shen Qing, who was also deep in thought, "Your family has lived in Jinling for generations, have you ever heard rumors about Mirror Lake or Baiping Mountain?"
"Hmm, is it related to Mirror Lake?" Shen Qing asked curiously after coming back to his senses, "There are two rumors about Mirror Lake, the first is that it is rumored that the gods fought in ancient times, and the Min Heavenly Mirror of Heavenly Court fell from the Immortal Palace and turned into a lake outside Baiping Mountain, which is also the origin of the name of Mirror Lake."
Of course, this is a myth and legend, but the Min Tianjing, one of the eight great artifacts of ancient times, was indeed salvaged ashore in the mirror lake. Now it is hidden in the palace as the artifact of the town of my Great Zhou Dynasty. β
"What about the other one?" Ning Yue ruled out this for the first time, no one was credible in the gods, immortals, or anything. The twelfth floor wouldn't be trying to use gunpowder to blow up artifacts in the Mirror Lake, right?
"The other one is about the ancestors of our Shen family. Three hundred years ago, my Shen family produced a genius Shen Jin, Shen Jin is not good at martial arts but good at business. Back then, my Shen family was just a small family in martial arts, and the strength of the family was not as good as it is now.
Shen Jin has been in business for 30 years and has earned tens of millions of family fortunes. According to the family's statement back then, it exceeded the sum of the wealth of Jiangnan businessmen. That is, the land of the ancestral house is not exhausted by taking silver and paving the land.
The husband is innocent and guilty, and the Shen family is famous because of wealth, but it is also shaky because of wealth. No matter how kind the Shen family is, no matter how good they are, they still can't stop the wolf ambitions of those young people.
Fortunately, Shen Jin has accumulated a lot of good reputation in his life, and in desperation, he made a decision that exceeded everyone's expectations. Shen Jin chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and sank all his family wealth into the Mirror Lake in public!"
"Oh, abandon the car and protect the handsome!, your ancestor can afford to take it and put it down?" Ning Yue said in surprise. Not everyone can make such a decision, people die for money, birds die for food, how many people do not recognize their relatives for money? And Shen Jin actually made a fortune from scratch, and he was able to decisively sink to the bottom of the lake to dispel Xiaoxiao's greed.
"Although the group of young people hate and regret, there is nothing to be done about it. Shen Jin swore in public that unless the water in the Mirror Lake in the south of the Yangtze River dried up, Shen Jin's relics would be able to see the light of day and help the people. But in the past 300 years, not to mention that the water level of Jinghu Lake has dried up, even the water level has not dropped in the slightest. β
"Huh?" Ning Yue suddenly paused, her eyes showing a thoughtful look. Gradually, Ning Yue's pupils dilated suddenly, and Ning Yue, who had never tried to restrain herself and be calm, had a panicked expression on her face.
"Ning Yue, what's wrong with you?" Yu Lang keenly felt Ning Yue's abnormality, and from Ning Yue's face, Yu Lang also felt the seriousness of the situation.
"Hope I'm wrong...... Otherwise...... Really want to ......" Ning Yue muttered to herself, and the fierce shot of her body turned into a streamer and galloped towards the other side of the road. Although Yu Lang and the three of them were inexplicable, they also quickly followed.
The figures of the four of them were like the wind, and they had jumped six or seven miles in an instant. After a while, the four of them came to the edge of the mirror lake where they had been in the morning. Mirror Lake is as quiet as it once was, and the heart driven by the water waves is also swaying. No matter who you are, you will be intoxicated by this beautiful scenery unconsciously.
Countless white sails are like feathers floating on the water, floating quietly on the water. Boating in the Mirror Lake is the ultimate enjoyment in the world. But at this moment, Ning Yue didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful lake scenery, and her body jumped out of the shore of the lake and ran towards the surface of Mirror Lake without stopping.
Yu Lang's body jumped, and he chased after Ning Yue quickly, and the water under the feet of the two of them seemed to be really frozen, except for a little bit of rippling but the same as the solid ground.
And Shen Qing had to stop on the shore of Mirror Lake, looking at the two people who were running wildly on the water and gradually moving away, Shen Qing shook his head with a wry smile.
His light skills are very high, much higher than Qiong Xing, but it is impossible to tread water without a trace like Yu Lang and Ning Yue, and cross the Ten Mile Mirror Lake. So he had to stop with a wry smile and wait with Qiong Xing on the shore of Mirror Lake.
"Ning Yue, what's wrong? What did you find?" Yu Lang followed Ning Yue's side with a solemn face, Ning Yue just glanced sideways and almost stumbled into the water.
Yu Lang's light work is too sassy, and his legs are standing quietly on the water, as if he is one with the water. The water waves rolled, and the afterwaves followed him closely. Such a sassy light skill is something that Ning Yue can't imagine at all now, Ning Yue's ability to tread water without a trace is already at its limit, but there are no more than twenty people on the rivers and lakes who can tread water without a trace.
"I'm thinking about Shen Jin's words back then, the great drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water in Jinghu Lake is dry! But as long as you have a brain, you know that even if everyone starves to death in the great drought in Jiangnan, the water in Jinghu Lake will not dry up. The amount of water in Jinghu Lake is not comparable to the total number of lakes in the entire south of the Yangtze River.
But does the water level of Jinghu really need a great drought in the world? The water level of Jinghu Lake is 100 zhang higher than the water level of the Yangtze River and 70 zhang higher than that of Jinling City. Once the Jinghu Lake bursts its embankment, like the water of the Tianhe River falling for nine days, almost the entire Jinling Mansion, Hanjiang Mansion, and Taixing Mansion will be implicated. Fire in the water, millions without roots, when the time comes, how many millions will die?" )
