The black and white ink paintings, obviously without any bright red, still stung my eyeballs.

Unbearable farewell, I whispered, "Uncle Yongtai, let's talk about something serious." ”

The old man took a puff of the big cigarette in his arms, but he didn't put the painting away, "Don't say that you don't know about the Zhenmu Dynasty, even a few scholars who are engaged in history in the Great Xia Kingdom have heard of it for the first time." So far, there is still no documentary evidence that there was such a dynasty in the Great Xia Kingdom for thousands of years. ”

I couldn't help but be hooked by what Chen Yongtai said, took a square chair, sat silently and listened to him leaning on the chair and talking, with a look of high interest, as if he had discovered a new world.

Tsk, I grinned, what kind of real wood dynasty is it, isn't it the New World?

Chen Yongtai introduced the events of that day in a few words, and he linked the earthquake in the south with Qin Yusheng's departure, speculating that there may have been some factors involved in the earthquake.

Seeing that I was puzzled, he explained to me the particularity of Qin Yusheng's soul, as well as the two worlds of yin and yang, which are now becoming more and more unbalanced, and I suddenly had a bold guess.

"Do you think that those who died in the earthquake are the Yin and Yang order of the Heavenly Dao to fill the imbalance?"

The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and I was a little hesitant when I said this, and even had a trace of doubt about the Heavenly Dao, but Chen Yongtai's suddenly bright eyes and the astonishing words that followed completely dispelled my thoughts.

"Hey, didn't you just wonder why I showed you this antique? The reason is very simple, the 20,000 people who died that day died in exactly the same way as in this painting, you might as well take a closer look at how many people are painted on it. ”

Chen Yongtai's words were like a slap in the face, and they woke me up in an instant.

I hurriedly traced my gaze over the disgusting picture, mentally counting the heads, and by the time I reached the last man who had been beheaded in half, it was exactly twenty thousand.

“...... How did this painting get to you? Do other people who have seen it know?" I didn't care about saying honorifics, so I hurriedly asked the question in my heart, but fortunately, Chen Yongtai told me that although this painting was dug up with many cultural relics of the Zhenmu Dynasty, the people who passed through it were ordinary people.

and was sent to Xia Feiyang not long after.

I breathed a sigh of relief, cultivators have far more memory and five senses than ordinary people, and it is very easy to count the number of people on the painting in a short time, but ordinary people do not have this ability.

Speaking of this, I have about an eyebrow, Xia Feiyang hurriedly summoned me back, probably because of this incident.

A few years ago, the Lian family suffered a big loss from the heavens, and then they collapsed, not to mention the withering of talents, and even the only few disciples also ran into walls everywhere, either injured in the mission, or accidentally injured during their travels, and one by one they were listless and sorrowful, as if they had been cursed.

However, even the elderly people who have passed the sixtieth birthday still give them the practice of exorcism, but unfortunately, it has not improved much.

In fact, we know in our hearts, this situation can only show that even the family spirit has been exhausted, and it is time for the reincarnation of heaven and the consequences of ourselves.

And at that time, some of the Ma family members who were angry with Lian Lao did not escape.

Regarding this matter, Ma Tianyu has always been very glad that he and I were on the same front at the beginning, and our cooperation between our families has become more and more intimate, but Lian Chen ...... It's been a long time since I've heard from her.

"Boy, what kind of desertion!"

Chen Yongtai slapped me on the back coldly, although the strength of my hand was not big, but I was in a fugue, and I rushed forward without paying attention, almost destroying the antique that was paralyzed on the ground with one claw, and the old man was so frightened that he quickly put it away.

With an embarrassed smile, I asked Chen Yongtai when he would leave.

He was surprised that I was going to leave as soon as I came back, and thought that I would stay in the Forbidden City for a while longer, at least rest for a few days before leaving.

"When this happens, I can rest at ease. At the beginning, I also sent Qin Yusheng on his last journey, since he did not hesitate to fill this hole with human lives because of his provocation of the Heavenly Dao, I naturally bore the brunt of the investigation clearly, and I was also very curious about the non-existent dynasty, what power could make a picture scroll connect with the Heavenly Dao. ”

I rubbed my chin, thinking that if I should go to Xia Feiyang's place to see the rest of the cultural relics? Anyway, that kid is now a legitimate president, and he has real power in his hands.

Chen Yongtai nodded frequently after hearing this, but when I asked him what the remaining cultural relics were, he said with a complicated expression that when the other things were transported to the underground sealed box specially opened up by the Imperial City, they had all turned into dust and melted into this land.

As soon as I took it, it suddenly became clear, this is why Xia Feiyang would hand over this only painting scroll to Chen Yongtai without any scruples.

All the other things unearthed together are gone, and this one is left intact, no weird!

That kid and I have known each other for a long time, and they have turned positive again, and these god-to-god chattering things have long been known in our hearts. In addition, I am not in the country, so I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to others, and although the four major families have been quite peaceful over the years, there is no guarantee that no one will fight the idea of this painting.

But Chen Yongtai is different here, one is the relationship between me and the old man, and the other is the relationship between Chen Lao and him.

After thinking about it a few times, there is only such a person who has some weight, others dare not provoke, but is reliable enough.

If it is handed over to another family alone, it may be said by someone with a heart.

As for Chen Yongtai's identity, there are really not many people who know, except for a few of my friends, only Chen Lao himself, in the eyes of outsiders, the old man is more like a hidden master, and others don't dare to start easily when they can't figure out his details.

Ha, that kid has really grown up.

After praising Xia Feiyang, Chen Yongtai and I worked intensively in the study to finalize the departure time.

A week later, we departed and arrived at the tomb of the Zhenmu Dynasty in Suzhou.

It is rumored that the various clues found by professional explorers indicate that from the scale of the outer part of the cemetery, it does not look like an imperial tomb, and it is more likely that it is just an official's home, but this official bar should be not small, because the entire cemetery covers an area that is not small from the edge of the existing excavation.

At least the size of the tomb of a general in the Tang Dynasty.

However, for a dynasty that has no historical traces left, many things are uncertain.

In fact, the development of the Great Xia Kingdom to its current scale has gone through a full 5,000 years, in which the disputes among the heroes are fierce, and in some years, there is no lack of gods to participate in and turn things around.

There are also many folk sayings, and in addition to the history compiled into the books, the gossip that circulates in the market sounds even more mysterious.

Moreover, the name Maki Chao really reminds me of a person, Temujin.

If it's really related, it's interesting.

The preparation for going out is very simple, I can do it in a few hours, after all, it has only been less than a day since I got home, I have never opened the suitcase, many things are ready-made, just add some rune paper cinnabar copper coins and the like.

However, the heavens did not grant the wish.

At this time, the big guy who was pulling on my trouser leg and begging to be stroked and the little guy hanging on my shoulder and constantly chattering in my ear made me want to cry with a headache.

"You're not finished, just forget about the little girl, what kind of fun are you making around!" I raised my foot and was about to kick away the man who was holding my calf, but the other party had grown up in the past few years, and his strength was a lot greater, so he didn't move at all.

Damn! It's as heavy as a pig!!

I rolled my eyes and simply dragged him to the kitchen to pour water.

"Ouch, my brother Zhang, I think about it as soon as you come back, why don't you just take me with you, let's talk about it for a long time, you don't want me?"

The man who spoke had a low voice, a little rough and hoarse, he was still wearing short sleeves in winter, his exposed skin was dark, and he could see a few inconspicuous scars if he looked closely, but the tone of his speech was still the same as when he was young.

"Zhang Xu, have you kid grown up! Hurry up and let go! Otherwise, I'll smoke you or not!"

I had to pull the waist of my trousers, glared at him fiercely, and by the way, he turned a side face and leaned on my shoulder, "Bailing, you too, this is how Uncle Yongtai and Aunt Hua taught you?"

In the past few years, I have been smoothed out, and I almost don't lose my temper with the outside world, Rao is so, and I am in a bad mood when I am tossed at this time, and the tone of my speech can't help but be a little heavier.

Zhang Xu, who has known a lot of people, heard my tone, and instantly got up neatly, standing in front of me calmly, except for the slightly messy hair, he couldn't see the appearance of the scoundrel just now.

It's just that Bai Ling is still very persistent, and he doesn't care whether I will be angry or not, hugging my neck and shouting, "I'm going too!" You are the Fu Seal Master, I am the Healer, and you are the main attacker and support, isn't it perfect? Besides, Uncle Yongtai is also going with you, is it possible that you still can't bear to see him injured and no one will help him?"

The little girl's words are indeed very reasonable, but this child is not an adult, and I heard Hua Gu say that they are present when she goes out most of the time, and Bai Ling has no experience of going out alone.

Although the place we are going to this time is not unfamiliar, but the things we are facing are the first time I have heard of it, I dare not guarantee that there will be no accidents under the tomb, at least every time I have been to the ancient tomb, none of them have been unscathed, which time is not difficult.

The reason for my rejection of Zhang Xu is very simple, the part we are good at is heavy, in fact, I want to contact Ma Tianyu to go together, but they are dealing with a case in Shaanxi at this time, and they can't come back for a while.

And Chen Ming and Chen Chong actually teamed up to go on a mission together, just the two of them, in Shanghai and a demon fell to the death, when I sent him the contact letter without saying a word, he refused me, listening to the tone was still a little irritable, I guess I didn't please in the hands of the evil ghost.

Bringing Zhang Xu has become the second choice.

Anyway, it's better to have someone to help than not to have one.

It's just Bailing......

I looked at the little girl with a determined expression with some complicated feelings, and I couldn't help but think of what Hua Gu whispered to me when I left the Magnolia Building.
