Chapter 38 Preparations for Homecoming

Three days later, Xu Yan handed over the fake version of the "Yijin Sutra" to Huang Zu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hmph, if I don't give you some color, you won't hand it over obediently, right?" Huang Zu glared at Xu Yan, took the "Yijin Sutra" and flipped through it.

Xu Yan pursed his lips and said, "I already had eyebrows before, who knew you were in such a hurry." Now the knife is stuck in my neck, and if I wasn't lucky, I might not have found the whole book. ”

Huang Zu was too lazy to listen to Xu Yan's quibbles, his eyelids were not raised and he flipped the "Yijin Sutra", and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he sighed lightly with surprise on his face, and read it carefully as if he had obtained a treasure, and immersed himself in it.

After a long while, Huang Zu remembered Xu Yan's existence, coughed a few times and waved his hand to let him out.

Xu Yan left the meditation room, wiped the slight beads of sweat on his forehead, and saw that Huang Zu's expression should have been fooled, and this level was temporarily passed. As for whether Huang Zu would cultivate the Yijin Sutra, Xu Yan didn't care. If his cultivation is better, then it will be enough to relieve his anger when he goes mad and makes his cultivation completely wasted.

"It's a pity, I will leave Great Xia and return to the Martial Kingdom in another month, and I won't see Huang Zu's lost soul. Xu Yan covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

A few hours later, Huang Zu left Tianlong Temple and entered the palace to meet Emperor Murong Jun.

"Does the thief who escaped last night have a clue, can the Xianfu key be recovered?" Murong Jun looked anxious, the Xianfu key was hidden in Tianlong Temple and stolen by the thieves, which made him sleepless all night.

Huang Zu's face was heavy, he pulled his beard, and sighed: "This person is quite cunning, and he hasn't found any useful clues yet. However, he was injured by my palm, and the large and small pharmacies sent people to watch him, and the city gates were all blocked, and he would definitely not be able to escape. ”

Murong Jun paced back and forth, and what puzzled him the most was how the thieves had infiltrated the Tianlong Temple and successfully stole the important key to the Immortal Mansion.

"Except for my dormitory, there is no other place in the entire Great Xia that is more strict than the underground palace of Tianlong Temple, why did you lose it?" Murong Jun put his hands behind his back and frowned.

In addition to the inner and outer courtyards on the surface, there is also a layer of hidden underground palace under the ground, and Xu Yan has been in it for several months and does not know such secrets, which is very hidden.

"The other party has been thinking about it for a long time for this action. The minister is also guilty, let the thief succeed, and is willing to be punished. Huang Zu was depressed, he was sitting in Tianlong Temple, and now he was mostly responsible for the theft of things.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Recovering things is important, who do you think is most likely to do it?" asked Murong Jun.

Huang Zu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you want to say who is most interested in the key of the Immortal Mansion, of course, it is Emperor Xu Yingtian of the Martial Kingdom. ”

"Wu Guo already has three Immortal Mansion keys in his hands, is Xu Yingtian still not satisfied?" Murong Jun didn't dare to be convinced.

Among the surrounding countries, the Wu State is the most powerful and ambitious, and it is not strange that Huang Zu doubts it the most, but the power of several other countries is not weaker than that of Great Xia, and it is not completely impossible.

"If you want to enter the Immortal Mansion, you must have a key, and every person who enters corresponds to a key. Although Wu Guo already has three keys, the more this thing, the better, and they have been asking around for more information. ”

Huang Zu didn't have a clear clue, so he didn't dare to say too much, and added: "On the Wu side, I will send people to focus on the investigation, and the forces of other countries in our country will not let go, you can rest assured." ”

All chambers of commerce, martial arts halls and even embassies in other countries are the key targets of investigation. In addition, this matter is very sensitive, and Huang Zu can only pursue it secretly and cannot pursue it publicly.

"Hey, I hope I can find a clue. Murong Jun sat down dejectedly and sighed: "My Great Xia national strength is gradually declining, whether the Immortal Mansion can be opened this time will determine the rise and fall of the country in the next hundred years, the only key to the Immortal Mansion in my country must not be lost, and it must be recovered." ”

The Immortal Mansion is a treasure trove of mysterious origins, which is said to have been the cave of the immortals, and is opened every few decades.

Every time it was opened, the warriors of all countries fought for the key and rushed to enter, the purpose was precisely for the elixir inside, as well as various exercise cheats.

Therefore, whether or not the treasures can be harvested from the Immortal Mansion may even determine the direction of the pattern between countries in the next few decades. The reason why the Wu Kingdom is strong is greatly related to the harvest of the emperor Xu Yingtian on his last trip to Xianfu.

"Xu Yingtian can dominate one side, and it has a lot to do with the few elixirs and exercises he harvested from the Immortal Mansion back then. This time, we can't let him succeed again, or we'll all have a hard time. Murong Jun said.

"I understand. Huang Zu nodded solemnly.

Xu Yingtian's cultivation has risen sharply, and he can be said to be the first person in martial arts in all countries, if it weren't for Daxia joining forces with several other countries, he would not be an opponent of martial arts at all.

"The two prime ministers have not returned, if they are there, they can still share some of it for you. Murong Jun said.

There are only four innate realms in Great Xia, except for Huang Zu and Emperor Murong Jun, the other two happen to be not in the national capital, and they will not be able to help for a while.

"By the way, a month later is the time for Xu Yan to return to China, can we let it go?" Murong Jun couldn't make up his mind, the national letter for Xu Yan was still in his hand, and he had not been sent out by the jade seal.

Huang Zu pondered for a moment and said, "Although this son is slippery, it is impossible to have anything to do with the Immortal Mansion Key. Let him go, and the prince will have a chance to return to the country. ”

According to the agreement between the two countries, Xu Yan was the first to return to Wuguo, and then Wuguo would release him.

"In that case, it is decided. "Among Murong Jun's sons, the crown prince Murong Yun has the highest talent, but whenever he has the slightest opportunity, he doesn't want to give up easily.

What's more, in the current situation, even if Xu Yan is forcibly detained, it is of little significance, and it may cause a backlash from the military side.

Huang Zu patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will send someone to investigate Xu Yan's group when he returns to China, and I will never miss any suspicious person." ”

The two discussed for a while, and Huang Zu took out the "Yijin Sutra" and said solemnly: "This exercise was found in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the content is exquisite and the cultivation effect is very good. In terms of internal attainments alone, it is even higher than the "Fire Subduing the Devil's Clutche" that I cultivated. ”

"What?" Murong Jun was quite surprised, even Huang Zu commented like this, isn't this exercise quite good.

"Coincidentally, this book was discovered by Xu Yan. "Huang Zu probably said the discovery of the "Yijin Sutra".

"More than two hundred years ago, Master Dingxian, the first presiding officer of Tianlong Temple, once broke into the Immortal Mansion, and died not long after he came back. Could this Yijin Sutra be something he left behind?" Murong Jun guessed.

At that time, Master Dingxian passed away very suddenly, and before he had time to explain to his disciples the harvest in the Immortal Mansion, it turned out that the exercises were hidden in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The unexpected surprise made Murong Jun feel a lot better.

"That's how it should be. Huang Zu nodded, only in this way could he explain the origin of the "Yijin Sutra", otherwise he would not believe that the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion had a peerless martial art hidden for no reason.

"This book was found by Xu Yan, there won't be any problems with the content, right?" Murong Jun's face suddenly changed.

Huang Zu smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I have carefully checked it, and the preliminary cultivation has verified, the content of this exercise is fine. With that kid's realm, he doesn't have the ability to be a horse's foot in my eyes. ”

A few days later, the Ministry of Rites sent the credentials to Xu Yan's mansion.

After some tedious processes, Xu Yan took the credentials from the ceremonial officer, glanced at it a few times and handed it to Xiao Dezi, and said, "Put this thing away." In addition, you must not make a mistake about what you leave behind and which ones you go back with. ”

There were not many people in Xu Yan's mansion, and most of them were rationed by the Great Xia Kingdom. In the end, Xiao Dezi counted it, and only seven people returned to China with Xu Yan, including him.

Xiao Dezi sorted out the roster of these seven people and brought them to Xu Yan to take a look.

Xu Yan took the roster and swept everyone's faces. Among the seven people, except for the eunuch Xiao Dezi and the groom, the other five were all dressed as palace maids.

The five palace maids are tall, short, fat and thin, with the youngest in her teens and the oldest in her thirties.

Xu Yan's gaze fell on the eldest palace maid, looked at the roster again, and asked, "This person looks at Miansheng, why haven't you seen him in the mansion before?"

"Hui Gongzi. Her name is Yue'e, and she has been taking care of the property outside the city on weekdays, and rarely returns home. Xiao Dezi replied, and Yue'e bowed to Xu Yan.

The so-called industry outside the city is actually dozens of acres of thin fields allocated to Xu Yan by the Great Xia State, although the annual income is not much, but it has been the main source of income in the government for a long time.

Xu Yan's gaze stayed on Yue'e face for a few moments, and he didn't say anything, nodded and put away the roster.

After a few people retreated, Xiao Dezi said with a wicked smile: "Has Childe's taste changed recently?" Although Yue'e is a little older, her appearance and figure are well maintained, as long as Childe speaks, I will arrange it for you......"
