Chapter 60: Tang's Scheme
readx;? Among the four talismans of the treasures hidden by Tangyang Ji, the "Chiming Fu" appeared earlier than the "Qingjing Fu", and was first occasionally obtained by a small merchant, intending to secretly dedicate it to the Marquis of Xili, who wanted to be attacked by the mocking wind on the way, and finally fell to the Mansion of the Marquis of Dongli with the assistance of Zhang Lu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, Dongli's strength is limited, and Dongli Hou Li Shizong and Jia, the father of the city, lack enterprising, and they are afraid of "harboring their crimes", so they dare not take them in, so they simply transfer them to their ally Tang Hou.
Tang Hou is the second largest force in Shuzhou, compared to Xili, who is in charge of state politics, is only one line behind, and there is also his in-law Huanfu as a backer, if Xili is forced to force each other, this lawsuit can be directly fought to the front of the emperor, and under the favoritism of the son of Zhengyuan, it is undoubtedly victorious. That's why they dare to accept and firmly hold the "Chiming Fu", and are not afraid of the covetousness of others.
If you really dare to snatch food from Tang Hou's mouth, probably only the Zhengyuan Imperial Court. However, although the wealth is moving, the dignified court to extort a prince's mansion is too obscene and really damaging to prestige. Besides, the relationship between the Tang and Huan families is not an ordinary marquis, but Tang Ying, a master in the uninhabited realm, Tang Ying is the grandmother of the son of Zhengyuan, will she allow her grandson to easily tear her face with her mother's family for a treasure?
Besides, if it is really the property of a rich country, it is just that, the private possession of a pirate leader seven hundred years ago may not be looked down upon by the imperial court. The kings and the marquis are competing with each other, and it would be so funny if the high-flying Honghu also went to intervene.
It's just that although Tang Hou got the "Chiming Fu", but he gathered all the masters in the mansion to study, but he was never allowed to enter, and the excitement at the beginning gradually faded, but he felt that this was a hot potato, and he really didn't want to stay, and he was reluctant to throw it away. was about to simply enter the imperial court, but who would have thought that Tang Liyu suddenly brought back the news about the treasure of the "Qingjing Fu".
The four runes refer to the hidden treasures everywhere, and the possibility of opening the same method is very large, so since the "Qingjing Fu" is available, then the "Chiming Fu" is of course also available. It was for this reason that Tang Hou decided to summon Zhang Lu to get started, hoping that he could help find the treasure of the "Chiming Fu" again.
Dongli and the Tang Mansion have a very good relationship, although there is no formal covenant, but they have always advanced and retreated together, of course, the goal is to point directly at Xili Tang Hou wants to ask Dongli for an inner disciple, even if this inner disciple has been promoted to the realm of selflessness, after all, he has not been assigned a position, so it should be very easy in theory. Although Dongli must be able to guess the reason why Tang Hou asked for Zhang Lu, since you have given me the "Chiming Fu", then I will ask you again if you want the key, there is no reason not to give it.
It's just that, since how to unlock the lock has been roughly understood, then only Zhang Lu can be the key? If the "Chiming Fu" and the "Qingjing Fu" are the same, as long as they condense their true qi and strike forcefully, they can open the Void Passage leading to the treasure, anyone can use it, why do you have to ask Zhang Lu to join it? Why do you have to invite Zhang Lu so earnestly to join?
Zhang Lu raised his own questions, and Tang Shizhang smiled faintly: "The good diviner in the house is calculated, and Mr. Zhang is the best candidate for treasure hunting." ”
That's. Not to mention that the art of divination is not popular in the Tianyuan world, not only are there very few people who are proficient in this way, but also the ability is not very high, because in this world, martial arts are dominant, and the level of research on the spells of this stream of consciousness is very low. On the question of how to open the treasure, it is already incredible to find someone for divination, and the divination result is absolutely Zhang Lu, and Tang Hou really believes it, it is really a lie that a fool can see through at a glance.
Zhang Lu's eyes rolled slightly, and he already figured out the reason Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it.
There are four reasons why Zhang Lu has to do it:
First, even if the "Chiming Fu" is activated like the "Qingjing Fu", it can only be transmitted by a single person, and it is difficult to transmit information to the mainland if you are on an overseas island. Only when Zhang Lu has regularly gone to the Xuanqi Realm to accept the tasks assigned by the heavens or demons in the recent past, but he is in the same group as Tang Liyu, can he timely feedback the location of the treasure, so that the Tang Mansion can send a ship to the sea to carry it.
Second, the four people in the same group, except for Zhang Lu, Li Yanchao and Feng are all core disciples of Beppu and Beppu, it is impossible to dig their horns, and Tang Liyu can also carry out treasure hunting tasks, after all, she is the descendant of the Tang family and the beloved grandson of Tang Hou, so I really don't worry about throwing it on the ocean. In such a large-scale operation, many links have to be lucky, and in the end, the treasure cannot be found at sea, and the treasure explorer dies on the desert island, which is also a matter that cannot be guaranteed. Zhang Lu said that if you throw it, you will throw it, and if you throw it, who can make this decision?
Even if Tang Hou endures it, he is not afraid that the old ancestor Tang Ying will come to trouble him?
Third, in the vast sea, all over the islands, it was all up to Zhang Lu to draw a star map and pass it back through Tang Liyu, so that the combined fleet spent more than half a year finally finding the hidden treasure. The ability to gaze at the stars is not something that can be achieved by an individual, and this kind of talent is also related to innate endowment, and it is not easy to cultivate. Zhang Lu Lao Ma knew the way, and it was most appropriate to send him to carry out this task.
Fourth, how much effort it takes to bombard the talisman to open the passage is only understood by Zhang Lu and Mock Feng in the world. Who knows if it is not effective if you don't use enough force, and if you use too much force, it will destroy the talisman? Although the force required to open the "Qingjing Fu" may not be the same as the force required to open the "Chiming Fu", after all, the insurance coefficient is greater, isn't it?
It was based on the above reasons that Tang Hou finally decided: This matter must be done by Zhang Lu. You call him to the door for me, Liyu, you know him well, and persuade him more.
At that moment, Zhang Lu thought for a while, and raised his concern, that is, the power required to open the two runes may not be the same, "If I accidentally destroy the Chiming Talisman but can't get the hidden treasure, how will your mansion treat me?"
Tang Shizhang nodded slightly: "If this is really the case, it is the will of heaven that makes my Tang Mansion unable to obtain the treasure, and I will have no complaints." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the other side was a smart person, and just talking about it would be ineffective, so he simply confessed: "Liyu should have revealed to Mr. Zhang that there is no guest or worship in my Tang Mansion who can teach Mr. Zhang's swordsmanship, and it is impossible for Mr. Zhang to stay in my Tang Mansion for a long time." If Mr. Zhang refuses to enter my Tang Mansion, he will not dare to make Mr. Zhang do this great thing, and "you enter the Tang Mansion, then you have to consider the Tang Mansion, theoretically speaking, you will definitely not deliberately destroy the deed, but if you refuse to enter, for example, only seconded from Dongli, it is difficult to say, none of us dare to take this risk."
"If Mr. Zhang enters my Tang Mansion, even if the matter is not successful, it will only be condescending for a few years" How do you think we will punish you? Kill you on the spot to resist your fate as a "Chiming Fu"? That must be impossible. The matter of treasure hunting is as secretive as the outside world, and there is no suitable reason to kill a new guest, so the Tang Mansion will not be shameful? At most, I will not give you a good face from now on, and I will just give you a few pairs of small shoes, and you will be able to flash people in five years at most, and you will not nest in my Tang Mansion for the rest of your life, what's the big deal?
Zhang Lu tightened his eyebrows, and asked again: "If I can't meet Miss Tang again and the information is difficult to transmit, then what?" Some words can't be said clearly, but I believe Tang Shizhang can understand what he means: If something goes wrong the next time I carry out the crossing mission, for example, I or Tang Liyu hangs up, for example, the mission fails, resulting in a long time or even permanent can't be reopened, and I can't send back to the star map, so what should I do?
"This is also providential, Mr. Zhang can take risks, how can this government be afraid?" If something really goes wrong during the mission, you will also have to take risks, for example, you will be stranded on a small island forever, so we will also take a little risk, which is normal. Do you think ancient treasures are so good? How can it be smooth sailing, without danger or danger?
"If Mr. Zhang can't say goodbye to Liyu, but please secretly let others pass on the news, there is no need to let Xili and Liuyun Sect know. "If you hang up in the middle of the mission, there is no way if it is Tang Liyu, or if you break the team, then you can try to pass the message through a new teammate. But remember, unless there is no second way to go, don't tell Li Yanchao and the wind. Let others pass on the news, we will pay a little hard work at most, if we let those two goods know, the Xili Hou Mansion or the Liuyun Sect will definitely cite this precedent and demand that the treasure be divided equally.
Zhang Lu pursed his lips slightly, and said in his heart that those two goods were human spirits, how could they hide it from them. However, Tang Shizhang is also right, as long as he doesn't say it clearly and doesn't ask for help, there is no reason for the Xili Hou Mansion and the Liuyun Sect to stick in and ask for a share of the spoils.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Lu must admit that he was indeed moved by Tang Shizhang, or to be more precise, this matter must not be done by himself, and if he retreats from this, he will definitely leave a lifelong regret. He himself was also full of curiosity about Tang Yang Ji's treasures, so as soon as he knew that the Tang Mansion was going to help him find it, he was already tempted, but some questions had to be raised first, and some conditions had to be finalized
"If I go, how will you treat me?" In fact, the subtext is: I am going to take the risk of this trip, and even if everything goes well, I must stay away from the crowds and live on an isolated island for a long time, so what good will I do?
Tang Shizhang smiled and poured a full glass of wine for Zhang Lu: "Listen to Liyu, Mr. Zhang is already at the beginning of the realm of no self, so when you enter my Tang Mansion, you will naturally give the position of Keqing, and you will not be less than Zhilu" The princes and palaces, absorbing people with foreign surnames, most of them give Keqing or the title of worship, among which the status of Keqing is more noble, and the degree of freedom is also high, even if there is no specific position, the daily support is also quite rich.
"The treasures of Qingjing Fu are all money, and I expect that the Chiming Fu will be a martial arts secret, a magic weapon, or a treasure of heaven and earth. If it is a secret note, Mr. Zhang can read it in advance or copy it casually, but please do not easily pass it on if it is a weapon or material, Mr. Zhang can take any three samples. If it's still money, you can get half of it. How?"
Cultivation pays attention to the "wealth and law", and all of them are indispensable. Needless to say, couples are companions of practice, only by learning from each other can they continue to make progress, it is not enough to build a car behind closed doors, the law refers to the exercises, and the place and environment refer to the place. In fact, for Zhang Lu, money is really not important, as long as he enters the Tang Mansion as a guest, the daily offerings are enough for him to practice, even if he is lacking, if he can find the treasure in the "Chiming Fu", are you afraid that the Tang Mansion will not give additional rewards?
The large and small sects in the Tianyuan world have vast fields and infinite resources, not to mention the various princely mansions that are integrated with the official family, as long as they can get started, under normal circumstances, there will be no shortage of wealthy land. However, the "Fa" is more difficult to say, and many secret methods are not passed on with the same surname, and even if they can be passed on to the exercises with different surnames, they will inevitably be divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and it is impossible to be like nine years of compulsory education. Divine weapons, heaven and earth treasures are the same. Therefore, you can browse the exercises casually, and take any three weapons or materials, these conditions can indeed impress Zhang Lu
The Tang Mansion also knew that only by giving enough benefits could Zhang Lu do his best to find the treasure, and not disobey or perfunctory.
When Zhang Lu said goodbye to Tang Shizhang and walked out of the cabin, he first saw Tang Liyu sitting in the corridor, supporting her with one hand, as if she was thinking about something. Hearing the footsteps, the giant girl turned her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, and asked him, "How?"
Zhang Lu nodded: "It's a good deal." ”
Tang Liyu smiled slightly: "If it is not beneficial to Brother Zhang, the little sister will not be introduced on her behalf." ”
"In that case," Zhang Lu asked, "we have to speed up, I don't know how much time it will take to sail back to the mainland?" If we can find the treasure before the next trip through the Xuanqi Realm, then the possibility of dying on the island will be greatly reduced.
"It shouldn't take more than a month. ”
It took more than half a year for the ship to look for Zhang Lu on the vast ocean, but that was because he was looking for a needle in a haystack, and he had to rely on the simple star map transmitted back by Zhang Lu to adjust the direction repeatedly, plus the astronomical level of the Tianyuan World was not high, although the four sects had gathered a lot of talents who judged the direction through the stars, it was impossible to judge accurately, and it was achieved overnight. But now that you've found the island, it's much easier to go back.
Zhang Lu muttered: "It will take at least three or five days to carry the treasure, and when we arrive on the mainland, it will take nearly a month to rush to Dongli or Tang County." ”
Tang Liyu shook her head: "Everything is ready, Brother Zhang doesn't need to worry"
Zhang Lu's worries are also Tang Fu's worries, according to the information revealed by Tang Liyu, of course, through very tactful means, and will not directly admit the matter of the relevant Xuanqi realm, it can be seen that her next mission is very likely to team up with Zhang Lu, because the previous mission has not failed, and the realm gap between teammates has not widened, if you can let Zhang Lu go through the treasure hunt before it, the probability of success will increase, if it is delayed for a long time, it is difficult to say.
So even Zhang Lu didn't expect that the efficiency of the Tang Mansion's actions would be so high, they had just returned to the mainland, and they were still on the dock, in other territories, there were Tang Mansion masters who came to connect with Tang Shizhang, and after getting confirmation, they took out the "Chiming Fu" on the spot.
In fact, theoretically speaking, at this time, Tang Hou has not officially greeted Dongli, and the transfer procedures have not yet been completed, but we can get on the bus first and then make up the ticket.
