To the east of the city, the Duanmu caravan is stationed.

It was still the same dark underground chamber, and a few bronze lamps burned silently, emitting a dim yellow light.

"What? You said someone in the caravan was stealing bamboo slips last night? Who do you listen to? Duanmu Shuliang looked at Zhao Qing in front of him and said in surprise.

As far as he knew, Zhao Qing had been sending Zheng Dan's internal force all night last night without interruption, and he did not leave the secret room.

Speaking of which, he is still quite envious of this kind of qigong method with healing properties, even if his cultivation is not high, he can become a guest of honor in many places.

"That's right. You must have seen the white ape that traveled with me, and its intelligence was no different from that of a human, and it was it that it told me......"

Zhao Qing briefly introduced the situation of the ape father, and then asked: "Among the bamboo slips carried by the caravan, is there originally a volume of "Lianshan Yi"? The content inside is the gossip of the Gen Palace. ”

"The Emperor's Clan's "Lianshan Yi"? How could our caravan take such an obscure and difficult book on the road. I remember the dozens of bamboo slips, which contained the caravan's ledger and cargo lists. ”

Duanmu Shuliang had naturally heard of the name of "Lianshan Yi", but he had not read the original text of "Lianshan Yi".

Ancient classics such as "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" are quite rare and are basically concentrated in the storage rooms of princes and nobles.

Generally speaking, the older the inheritance and the higher the status of the nobles, the closer the collection of classical books to the original. Ordinary aristocrats, the collection is the revised and modified version of the posterity.

In ancient times, the grammar of writing was quite different from that of today. After it has been handed down, there will be various differences in interpretation, and even opposites and reversals.

In this way, the value of these classical texts is greatly reduced. No one can guarantee that the version they see is accurate. Relying on the wrong classics, there are not a few people who want to comprehend the debut and the law, but as a result, they go astray and go mad.

The person who has the most and most complete classics in the world is none other than Lao Tzu, who once served as the history of the Zhou royal family's Tibetan room. Many people speculate that Lao Tzu's profound cultivation and Taoism were enlightened from ancient classics.

However, among these people, few dare to imitate Lao Tzu's path, and it is for this reason that they dare to imitate it.

Duanmu Shuliang's background was an inconspicuous concubine in the main vein of the Duanmu clan, and later became one of the caravan chiefs who were sent to Yuedi. However, he also had the right to consult the ancient classics of the clan, but Duanmu Shuliang never went to see them.

The reason for this is simple: trying to extract something from these error-prone texts has a surprisingly low chance of success. Instead of wasting time, it is better to read a few more books related to business, memorize a few more volumes of the world's products, and get the attention and praise of the elders.

Diviners, shamans, and physiognomy often bring the Three Changes with them, but most of them only use the Yi as a source of quotation and rarely have any opinions.

Those who really study these classics with their hearts are basically the Taishi of various countries, the history of the Tibetan Chamber, and others.

"You mean, someone else hid a volume of Lianshan Yi in the pile of bamboo slips of our caravan, and then someone tried to find it last night?" Duanmu Shuliang thought for a while and looked at Zhao Qingdao.

"For now, that's right. Today I met a mountain bandit from Panyu Ridge and learned that this volume of "Lianshan Yi" may be related to the clues of the treasure of King Mu of Zhou. Zhao Qing added.

At that time, Xu Sixteen claimed that he had the secret of King Zhou Mu's treasure, Zheng Dan and the caravan guards heard it, and Zhao Qing was not prepared to hide it.

If it was true news, she didn't feel that her current strength could be involved in this kind of incident involving top masters.

Duanmu Shuliang pondered for a moment and said, "King Zhou Mu's relics? According to the news of our Duanmu family, King Mu once ordered his Yanshi to secretly build a huge underground city in the mountains, containing countless treasures, and the exact location is unknown. ”

"It is rumored that in his old age, King Mu kept the immortal magic he obtained from the Queen Mother of the West in the depths of this city, and decreed that the entire city fell into the ground. This is the legend of the so-called relics of King Mu, and this city is also known as the 'Treasure City of King Mu'. ”

"The biggest suspicion of this rumor is that King Mu has no reason not to leave the treasure and immortal law to his son King Gong, but to bury it in the ground. This city is not his own mausoleum, and it needs a pile of treasures to accompany him. ”

"However, for thousands of years, there have been many people who have claimed to have discovered the city of Muwangbao, saying that this huge city runs underground and appears at certain intervals, and the description of it is so detailed that it is hard not to believe that it really exists."

A city that shuttles underground? This technique is a bit outrageous. Feeling that it was difficult to have anything to do with a roll of bamboo slips, Zhao Qing rubbed his hair and thought silently.

"My talent is limited, and I'm already very old, so I don't want to dream of one step to the top like I did when I was younger. But Miss Zhao, you are still young and have endless potential. Looking at the young and lively Zhao Qing in front of him, Duanmu Shuliang said with a smile.

"Since your companion White Ape has obtained a bamboo slip from the caravan's pile of bamboo slips that may be a clue to the treasure, if you are willing to go to find the treasure, I will provide support behind you."

Duanmu Shuliang turned his body and said calmly: "If you really find something, remember to bring me a sentence when you publicize it to the outside world, so that I can also enjoy the treatment of leaving a name for future generations." ”

Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said that she didn't want to explore the situation of the treasure, it was impossible.

However, after all, the bamboo slips were found in the Duanmu family caravan, and Duanmu Shuliang theoretically had the right of priority, but fortunately, he gave the bamboo slips to himself.

"The person who stole the bamboo slips in the caravan last night, now go check it out?" Zhao Qing reminded.

"I was about to look it up. However, the chances of being able to detect it are very small, and the thief can completely put the bamboo slip back in its place after discovering that he has stolen it by mistake, so that it is impossible to tell the difference. ”

"There is another important matter, since the Peng Clan Elder will be coming to support, I have decided to postpone the caravan's departure date by two days. In the meantime, you can come to me if you have anything. ”

Duanmu Shuliang replied, jumped onto the passage at the top, and left.

……

A moment after Duanmu Shuliang left, the flame of the bronze lamp in the room gradually calmed down.

Zhao Qing sat on the bed, meditated, and then opened the white porcelain bottle in his hand, gently poured out a black pill, and placed it in the palm of his right hand.

Most of the surface of the black elixir was as black as charcoal, with seven tiny red dots. On closer inspection, the black part is more like a layer of medicinal clothing, and the red dots are seven small holes, just like the seven orifices of a human being.

This is the foundation building elixir treasured by the Peng family: the Fire Trick Pill.

I didn't see how her right hand moved, and the soybean-sized Fire Trick Pill jumped up lightly and fell into Zhao Qing's mouth.

For the fire qi contained in the Fire Trick Pill, she thought of a special way to use it.

Among the five elements, fire conquers gold, and smelting the qi of gold with the qi of fire may be able to improve her progress in the "Heavenly Soldier Refining Formation Qi Induction Method", speed up the speed of sword qi pulse opening, and complete the first round of sword qi pulse opening earlier.

In this way, the time to enter the Heavens of Dreams can be advanced, so that the strength can be improved faster.
