In fact, this volume of "Lianshan Yi" is not necessarily a very precious thing, and it can also be seen from its material that it should be a good quality dried bamboo piece, which is very different from Zheng Dan's gold leaf book in appearance.

For example, "Zhou Yi" was a relatively common book in later generations, and was listed as one of the "Five Classics" in the "Four Books and Five Classics". Although "Lianshan" is not popular in the current era, it should not be a rare thing.

Zhao Qing looked at the ape, but saw that it grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand, shook it for a while, and then flashed back into the room.

Glancing at the two people on the side who were frightened by the superb skills of the ape, Zhao Qing followed into the room, closed the door, and asked softly, "Old ape, where did you get this bamboo slip?" ”

I saw the ape gong write with his finger: "I left my room in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and I walked around here, and I saw a man sneakily rummaging for something in a pile of bamboo slips in a corner.

I scared him out, and the other party left in a hurry, still holding two bamboo slips in his hands. Later, I thought about it, and I also took out two bamboo slips from the pile of bamboo slips, one volume should be the registration list of the goods, and the other volume is this volume of "Lianshan Yi". ”

Recorded a list of goods? These bamboo slips were probably placed on the first twelve carriages that were not destroyed, and the armor soldiers who searched for the belongings did not remove the bamboo slips of low value.

Someone sneakily steals bamboo slips, and some people in the caravan are restless. Could it be that there is some secret thing hidden in these bamboo slips? So someone gets up in the middle of the night to steal?

After the ape man finished writing, he handed over the bamboo slip he was holding in his hand. Zhao Qing stretched out his hand to take it, and after unfolding it, he looked at it slightly. There are nearly 2,000 characters on it, and the record is the eight hexagrams headed by the Gen Palace.

As far as she knows, "Lianshan", like "Zhou Yi", has sixty-four hexagrams, that is, in addition to this volume, there should be seven volumes.

This volume of Lianshan is even more obscure than Zhou Yi, and although it seems to contain some philosophical ideas, most of it is completely mystical and does not deal with any aspect of spiritual practice at all.

I don't know how Ape Gong sees it, at least Zhao Qing thinks that it is difficult for him to understand anything and gain much from it at the current stage of cultivation.

Maybe it's because this is the first book he got after he became literate.

Holding the conjecture that this might be a secret book of divine skills, she transported the true qi in her body and slowly penetrated into this bamboo slip, trying to find out if there were any secrets such as mezzanines.

To Zhao Qing's surprise, there was no mezzanine space inside the bamboo slip, but she did find a strange thing:

He had practiced the true qi of the Blood Condensation Divine Claw, and sensed that within the notches of the bamboo slips, there was still a small amount of blood left, but it was still vigorous.

"Old ape, did you feel anything strange when you were holding the bamboo slips?"

……

About an hour later, on the streets north of Chungquanyi, Zhao Qing was dressed in a gray robe and changed into a gray cloth round hat, led the way by two sturdy caravan guards, and followed behind Zheng Dan.

It is recorded in "Zhou Li, Examination of Work, Craftsman", "The craftsman camps the country, Fang Jiuli, and there are three gates next to it." There are nine warps and nine latitudes in the country, and nine tracks are painted by warp. Left ancestor right society, facing the market. The so-called sitting in the north and facing south, the "aftermarket" here is generally in the north of the city.

Zhao Qing browsed the scenes in the bazaar while thinking about what had happened recently.

In another five days, he will be able to fall asleep and greatly improve his strength. Now, in the city, staying by Zheng Dan's side is the safest choice.

Zheng Dan's blood sacrifice method is undoubtedly the highest combat power among the current allies, plus the broken crossbow erected in the city, normally speaking, the Hongshang sword master will not strike again until outside the city.

Regarding the situation of "Lianshan Yi", we must also pay attention to it.

According to the ape's writing, the reason why it happened to get the volume of "Lianshan Yi" was indeed because it smelled a strange faint smell, so it grabbed it in the direction of the smell emitted from the pile of bamboo slips and took two of them.

At present, it is likely that this is the target of the caravan who stole bamboo slips in the middle of the night.

After taking care of Rui Xi for a while, Zhao Qing left the room and inquired about a lot of things in the caravan.

Duanmu Shuliang left the hostel early in the morning and went to the Yi Zai's mansion to discuss cooperation with Peng Yan, and he could not tell him that someone was stealing bamboo slips until he returned.

The pock-faced peddler selling melons was brought back to the caravan's accommodation, because Duanmu Shuliang believed that the streets that were destroyed under the sword aura yesterday and the people who were injured and killed had a part of his family's responsibility.

So he cooperated with Yi Zai's side and took the initiative to help the victims and provided them with temporary food and accommodation.

Speaking of which, they are also quite responsible, and they have "benevolence" in their hearts.

"Ah Qing, do you think it's really necessary for us to buy a few female slaves?" Zheng Dan's face was a little more ruddy than yesterday, and his hair had turned black, which seemed to have improved a lot.

"Ugh." Zhao Qing did not answer.

That's right, the reason why the two of them went to the market in the north of the city, in addition to Zhao Qing's purpose of buying medicine for his mother, was actually to follow the caravan to buy slaves in the market.

At Duanmu Shuliang's request before going out, the caravan not only had to buy some male slaves to temporarily make up for the caravan's losses; I am also going to buy a few outstanding female slaves, and hide in the car and pretend to be Zheng Dan when the time comes, so as to reduce the possibility of danger on the real Zheng Dan's side.

One true and one false, the probability of being touched is still too high, and he is ready to use "one true and many false".

For the female slave who may be sacrificed in her place, Zheng Dan's psychology is quite complicated, and after thinking about it for a long time, she chose to go out together to witness the process of buying and selling.

Partly out of curiosity, Zhao Qing also came out, wanting to see what the slave market looked like in this era.

She was sympathetic and pitiful for the slavery system of this era, but she did not have enough power to make large-scale changes.

Whether it is money, power, or force, Zhao Qing can't say how much she has now, and all she can do is help her when she sees a particularly poor slave. Of course, this is without harming one's own interests too much.

……

"Giggle~Giggle~" In the fence on the side of the street, two fierce roosters are fighting against each other, pecking back and forth, and the half-black short wings are constantly fluttering and fanning.

Outside the fence, a large group of spectators are staring intently at their favored side, and the mood is also up and down as the situation of the rooster fight changes.

In the distance, the call of the engineer to summon the idle people to build the city wall was heard from afar, saying that the outer wall of the east of the city was damaged yesterday and needed to be repaired, and that for every stone of earth moved, one Chinese dollar could be paid as a reward.

The sturdy caravan guards reached out to push the crowd through the crowd and split a path. Zheng Dan and Zhao Qing both came to the market in the Spring and Autumn Period for the first time, followed behind, and looked at it casually.

"Ah Qing, I guess you must want to know about my past experience, about my family, about the source of my kung fu." In the noisy market, Zheng Dan took Zhao Qing's hand and leaned in and whispered.
