Wang Yangming broke free from his hand and said hurriedly: "Where did you think of it! I owe money not because of this!"

At that moment, he simply said that he had invested in the purchase of equipment for the Eagle Yang Army, and Cao Zhan turned his worries into joy and said: "In this way, Mr. is a debt owed for the country. Needless to say, my Lao Cao must help with this favor, let's go, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore to ask for money. ”

The two walked to Xinhua Bookstore, where Cao Zhan often came to discuss business with the shopkeeper and had long been familiar with them. Without notification, he walked in with Wang Yangming. The shopkeeper was settling accounts in the background, and when he saw Cao Zhan coming with a young man, he came out to greet him and said, "Why does Mr. Cao have time to come and sit with me today?" Because of the big sale of Journey to the West, the shopkeeper was very polite to Cao Zhan, and he also treated Wang Yangming as a guest.

Cao Zhan introduced Wang Yangming to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and took Wang Yangming's hand and said: "The old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and today I finally see the true face of Mr. Thirteen! Mr. Thirteen is talented!"

Wang Yangming hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Big shopkeeper, how is my Journey to the West selling?"

The big shopkeeper ordered the little servant to take the account book and explained to Wang Yangming: "Wang Shujia, you see, Journey to the West has published eight single books, each with 100,000 words, and the ninth book will be published next month, and the tenth book will be published after a while, which is the finished book." Now these eight books, divided into two versions, one is a text book, a total of 10,000 taels of silver, according to our contract, Mr. should be divided into 3,000 taels, this money I have handed over to Mr. Cao Zhan to pay. The other version is a picture book, of which eight have been published, and it has sold very well, and it has sold for thirty thousand taels of silver, and I shall give you nine thousand taels, of which three thousand taels have been advanced to you, and six thousand taels have not been paid. ”

Wang Yangming rubbed his hands and said: "Shopkeeper, I have some difficulties now, and I need a large sum of silver." I wonder if you can give me the six thousand taels as soon as possible?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, how could he put so much cash in his bookstore.

Cao Zhan beat the side drum from the side: "The shopkeeper knows that our Mr. Thirteen is now serving in the Northwest Army and has formed an elite army, and he has used all his wealth to buy equipment for this army, so he urgently needs a large sum of silver." This force engaged the Hu in the northwest last month, killing more than 1,000 Hu troops with a force of 100 men. ”

Although the shopkeeper is a businessman, he is very martial in Great Xia, even if he has a deep affection for the Great Xia army, he said solemnly: "I didn't expect Wang Shujia to be a young talent with both civil and military skills." Needless to say, this money, no matter what, the old man has to let Mr. get it immediately. ”

He wrote a handwritten letter and asked the little guy to immediately go to the owner of the money bank to exchange the silver ticket. The little guy went in a gust of wind, and after a tea hour, the little guy ran in out of breath and handed the silver ticket to the big shopkeeper, who handed the silver ticket to Wang Yangming and said, "This is six thousand taels." Please take a look at the Wang Shujia. ”

Wang Yangming saw that it was indeed a silver ticket of 6,000 taels, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and thanked the shopkeeper and said goodbye. The shopkeeper said: "We will settle the sales volume once next month, and if there is any new income coming in, I will send it to Mr. Cao Zhan as soon as possible." ”

Wang Yangming thanked him again and returned to Guozijian with Cao Zhan. Cao Zhan continued to go back to class, and Wang Yangming returned to the house and saw that Biluo had returned, holding a silver ticket of two thousand taels in his hand. It turned out that Biluo knew that Wang Yangming would return to the northwest in the near future, and the two thousand taels of real money under the bed could not be carried, so he went to exchange it for two thousand taels of silver tickets for him.

Wang Yangming saw that he had already collected eight thousand taels of silver tickets in half a day, and the remaining five hundred taels owed to Boyan was not a big problem at all, so he was relieved.

Bi Luo smiled: "Wealth is like a floating cloud to me, why should Brother Yangming care so much about money." ”

Wang Yangming rubbed his cheeks vigorously: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to your family!"

The two gossiped for a while, Wang Yangming remembered something, and asked Biluo: "What kind of burial place is there in the mountain behind our Guozi Prison?"

Biluo shook her head and said she hadn't heard of it.

Wang Yangming told Biluo about the strange dream he had in the ten days when he was in a coma after breaking his arm, and said: "The bones are buried under the five old peaks, and the world is spread in the stream. I've been wondering what these two sentences mean exactly. The Five Old Peaks are undoubtedly the Five Old Peaks of our back mountain, but where are the bones buried? What does the stream in the world mean?"

Biluo also didn't know why, and suggested that this kind of thing should be asked to people who have been in the Guozi Prison for a long time. Neither of them has been here for long, and their knowledge is limited after all.

Wang Yangming was embarrassed: "I always feel that this dream is a little weird, and I dare not say it to others easily." I don't dare to ask the people in our country. I can't say it, we have to go and see it, let's go now. ”

He took Biluo's hand and went to the back mountain together. Seeing that Wang Yangming treated him so differently, Bi Luo felt a little worried in her heart, but she was also a little happy, and obediently went with him.

The five old peaks of the back mountain are still towering, and the cangfeng is reflected in the greenery, and the scenery is picturesque, which makes Wang Yangming intoxicated. However, when I think of the word buried bones, I always feel that this beautiful back mountain has some inexplicable gloom.

Wang Yangming said as he walked: "I once heard the senior brother mention that the history of Guozijian is much longer than the history of Great Xia. A long time ago, Houshan Siguo Yayuan was a place where traitors in the Guozi Prison were held, and there were many traitors who were detained here until death, and the yin qi was very heavy. Do I mean the place where these traitors are buried?"

Bi Luo nodded and said, "What Brother Yang Ming said is true, but how can we find the burial place of these traitors?"

The two of them walked to the bottom of the Wulao Peak, Wang Yangming remembered that when Su Mu was thinking about the cliff, he climbed up from here every day to bring her food, and before he knew it, almost a year had passed, and now it was effortless for him to climb this mountain again, and Su Mu had become his right-hand man, and the world was really impermanent.

He slowly circled around the Five Old Peaks, didn't find anything unusual at the bottom of the mountain, and said distressedly: "Could it be that the dream is a dream that I am thinking about, and there is no place to bury my bones at all?"

While the two were talking, a white rabbit suddenly burst out and passed by the two, the rabbit was a young rabbit, a little bit of size, very cute and cute, but the speed of running was really not slow. Biluo was pleasantly surprised: "What a cute rabbit!"

Wang Yangming has the intention to show off, and wants to catch the rabbit for Biluo to play, so he started the light skill of moving the universe, and stepped forward to chase the rabbit, his light skill is already very skilled, where is such a little rabbit can run to win, Wang Yangming three steps and two steps to catch up with the rabbit, but saw that the rabbit seemed to sense the crisis, flashed into the grass next to it, and disappeared. Wang Yangming was curious, and set aside the bush of grass, and there was a small black hole under the cover of the grass, which was very hidden, and if it wasn't for chasing rabbits here, he wouldn't have found it at all.

There is a folk proverb: the cunning rabbit three holes. He thought to himself that this must be a rabbit hole. At this time, Biluo was far away from him, and Wang Yangming thought that he should go back and talk to Biluo and come over to explore the cave together. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming out of the cave, Wang Yangming felt curious, leaned down to listen, and heard a few words faintly: "Five old peaks down...... Buried ......"

Wang Yangming was shocked in his heart, thinking that there really was a place to bury bones! There must be something strange in this cave! Just as he was about to turn around and call Biluo to come over, suddenly there was a gust of wind in the cave, as if there was a huge suction. Wang Yangming was suddenly restrained by the suction, it was difficult to breathe, his mouth and nose couldn't speak, he wanted to resist, but he fainted coldly, and he didn't know anything as soon as it was dark in front of him.
