"Providence, perhaps."

Zhang Banxian sighed, and finally muttered with a complicated expression.

This has no beginning and no end, which makes Zhang Qing's brows tightly locked, and he is puzzled.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Zhang Banxian didn't answer immediately, picked up the white porcelain teacup on the table, took a sip of warm tea, and then explained: "Huangtian Shrine and my Zhang family still have a relationship. ”

"This relationship can be traced back to Zhang Wen, the ancestor of my Zhang family."

Hearing this, Zhang Qing's face showed a solemn expression.

Zhang Wen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is also the founder of the Zhang family.

Born in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, he was lucky enough to get the fairy fate, which gave rise to the great foundation of the Zhang family.

But Zhang Wen and Huangtian Shrine have a origin, which Zhang Qing never thought. Because in the family history of the Zhang family, there has never been a relevant record.

"Ancestors and Yellow Sky Shrine have a relationship?"

Zhang Qing was puzzled.

Zhang Banxian's eyes were confused, his tone was complicated, and he continued: "Although the ancestor of my Zhang family is a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, he is only a side lineage, and has almost nothing to do with the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain. In his early years, the ancestors lived a difficult life, did not have enough to eat, did not have enough clothes, and mixed up in the lower nine streams in order to live, stealing chickens and dogs, and robbing tombs. ”

"Later, by chance, I entered the door of touching gold, learned some secret methods of tomb robbery, and became famous in the rivers and lakes."

"Therefore, when the ancestor was middle-aged, he was invited by a stranger, saying that he was asking the ancestor to steal an ancient tomb."

"It's just that this tomb is weird."

"There are no tombstones, no frescoes, nothing related to the owner of the tomb remains."

"And the scale of the ancient tomb is huge, more than the princes, and there are institutions all over the place. But Feng Shui is vicious and not good. ”

"When the ancestors first looked at the tomb, they found a problem. If you can build a tomb of this scale, you will definitely not be an ordinary person, and you will definitely not choose to build a tomb in such a fierce place. Obviously, the person who built the tomb had a monstrous enmity with the person buried in the tomb, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a murderous tomb to suppress it. ”

"Discovering this secret, the ancestors became strongly curious about the origin of the tomb. Coupled with the fact that the man who hired the ancestor was extremely generous, the ancestor pretended not to know anything. While groping for the origin of the tomb, he helped steal the tomb. ”

"Later, the ancestors judged from the style of the tomb that this was an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty."

"But in the tomb, there is no record of the owner of the tomb. Until ........"

"The ancestors discovered the core of the burial chamber."

When Zhang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but prick up his ears, and his curiosity was completely pulled.

Han Dynasty tombs.

No name.

There is no record.

The scale is better than that of the princes.

It's still a terrible murderous tomb.

The secret hidden in this is not trivial.

In ancient times, tombs were not built casually.

There are insurmountable regulations on what kind of tombs can be used by princes and generals, and what kind of tombs can be used by ordinary commoners. If the tomb exceeds the specifications, it will be punished as a rebellion.

In such an era, to have a tomb with better specifications than a prince, the identity and status of the owner of the tomb are by no means ordinary.

"The person buried in the tomb is the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao!"

Zhang Banxian paused word by word, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"What!"

Zhang Qing exclaimed, extremely surprised.

Great Sage and Good Teacher Zhang Jiao!?

Zhang Qing was puzzled: "The great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao died violently in the middle of the uprising, if the Yellow Turban Army buried him, he would definitely not choose to build a murderous tomb." It is rumored that Zhang Jiao was killed by the Han Dynasty after his death, and his bones are gone. I think this murderous tomb should have been built by the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty has already killed the corpse, and there is no need to build a murderous tomb to suppress Zhang Jiao's corpse........."

"Unless ........"

Zhang Qing looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Jiao's body is different, so that the Han Dynasty had to cast a murderous tomb to suppress it!"

Zhang Banxian bowed his head and said, "Not bad." ”

"Exactly."

"When the ancestors dug up the tomb, they found that the body of the great sage and good teacher was immortal, and there was still a heartbeat, as if it was asleep. It was only at this time that the ancestor did not know the identity of the mercenary, and that person was the thirty-second generation descendant of Lao Junguan, Mo Junyao, who was called a traitor by Lao Junguan. ”

"Hiss~~~"

Zhang Qing gasped, and immediately understood why Zhang Banxian wanted to talk about the history of the ancestors of the Zhang family from this tomb robbery.

The great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao is not dead!

"I don't know what Mo Junyao did, after sleeping for hundreds of years, the great sage and good teacher actually woke up again."

What happened after that, the ancestors did not know. In the handwritten letter left by the ancestors, it is only recorded that five years after the awakening of the great sage and good teacher, the ancestor accompanied the great sage and the good teacher to Dongying. They stayed in Dongying for three years, and then took a boat to the east and went to the legendary Penglai Wonderland. ”

"The ancestors stayed in Penglai Wonderland for eight years, and finally returned to Kyushu alone, which is why we have our Zhang family. As for the whereabouts of the Great Sage and the Great Master and Mo Junyao, the ancestors did not mention a word. ”

"This Huangtian Shrine is a lineage left by the great sage and good teacher when he passed through Dongying."

Zhang Qing suddenly realized.

In this way, the Zhang family and the Huangtian Shrine really have a lot of roots.

However, at this time, Zhang Qing didn't care about the origin of the Huangtian Shrine.

He was curious: "Didn't the ancestors leave a record about Penglai Wonderland?" ”

"Where did the Great Sage and Master Mo Junyao go?"

Zhang Banxian shook his head and said: "The ancestors have never left a detailed record of Penglai Wonderland and the great sages and good teachers, and they are quite taboo about the experience of Penglai Wonderland. ”

"But there's one thing that's very strange."

"Since then, the ancestors have been obsessed with finding the legendary Jianmu, and for this purpose they have traveled all over the country, north and south, and all over Kyushu."

When Zhang Banxian said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The ancestors did not leave much record of the affairs of Penglai Wonderland, and why they were obsessed with finding the legendary Jianmu in the second half of their lives, they also did not leave any records.

"Jianmu?"

Zhang Qing muttered secretly, unable to understand.

Jianmu, the legendary Tongtian sacred tree that connects the two worlds of gods and men.

It's just that apart from ancient myths and legends, no one has ever really seen Jianmu.

"Exactly, the ancestors were looking for traces of Jianmu until their deaths."

Zhang Banxian was full of emotion.

Then, he muttered for a long time and said.

"It's strange to say, although the ancestors did not leave a single record of what happened in Penglai Wonderland, they left a statue of a god brought out of Penglai Wonderland. That god statue is the biggest secret of my Zhang family, and only the heads of the family have known it. ”

"It's just that the ancestors did not explain the origin of the statue before their death, and we still don't know where the statue is carved and sacred."

When Zhang Qing heard this, he was even more puzzled.

If the statue is useless, how can it become the biggest secret of the Zhang family?

It simply doesn't make sense.

Zhang Banxian pondered for a moment and got up.

"Well, you come with me."

Zhang Qing didn't ask the purpose, because he already had a guess in his heart. He followed closely behind Zhang Banxian and walked towards the depths of the Zhang family's ancient mansion.

Walk through the verandah to a secret room in the backyard study.

Although it is a secret room, the room is full of incense and candles. Except for a slight bit of stuffiness, it is almost indistinguishable from the outside world.

Before entering the secret room, the smell of incense was strong.

The secret room is not very large, only fifteen or sixteen square meters.

Directly facing the door of the chamber was a rectangular altar on which a two-foot-tall statue of the god was enshrined.

I don't know the material, it seems to be wooden, but it exudes a slight metallic luster.

Other than that, there aren't many furnishings.

Although Zhang Qing can't see, his heart and eyes are open, and he can see the surrounding situation vaguely with his heart and eyes.

He looked at the statue enshrined on the altar.

The idol of the deity is lifelikely carved and is a standing man.

Cold.

Overbearing.

It is nine points similar to Yang Xu's appearance!

"This is the statue of my Zhang family that has been worshiped for generations, and it is also this statue that has made my Zhang family last for thousands of years and will last forever."

Zhang Banxian came to the statue, bowed respectfully three times, offered incense, and introduced.

But he did not say what kind of magic the statue is, which can bless the Zhang family for a thousand years.

Zhang Qing also did not ask.

This must be the most confidential matter of the Zhang family.

Otherwise, it will not only be known to the heads of the previous generations.

He stepped forward and was about to bow down, but his keen perception saw that the base of the statue was carved with words, which were scratches that were different from natural wear.

"Grandpa, do you know what words are carved on the base of the statue?"

Zhang Qing asked bluntly.

"What, the base of the idol is still written?"

Zhang Banxian was stunned.

In the family records, there is no mention of anything written on the base of the statue.

The Zhang family has a thousand-year-old heritage, but only moved to Kyoto 500 years ago.

Since then, no matter how the world has changed, even if it is a change of dynasties and chaos in the world, the Zhang family has never given up this old mansion. The idol has not been moved since it was erected here, and has been enshrined in this chamber for 500 years.

Zhang Qing's judgment, Zhang Banxian believed.

The mental eye is different from the naked eye, seeing things more intuitively and closer to the essence of things.

But the idol .......

This thing can't be moved.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Banxian pondered: "With your heart and eyes, can you directly perceive what the words engraved on the base of the statue are." ”

"It's difficult, the statue is old, there are other scratches on the base, and the handwriting is very blurry."

Zhang Qing frowned and explained.

"But give me some time, I can trace the general situation of the base, and maybe I can deduce what is recorded on the base of the statue."

Zhang Banxian didn't speak, he took a pen and paper directly from the study and handed it to Zhang Qing.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Qing relied on the perception of his heart and eye to copy all the scratches on the base of the statue without touching the statue.

When everything was done, the grandfather and grandson looked at the paper and fell silent.

In the middle of the paper, it is a Xu word!

"Asahi!"

Zhang Banxian held the copied paper with trembling hands, his expression unpredictable.

It was something he hadn't thought of at all.

On the statue of the god that has been enshrined in the Zhang family for thousands of years, there is a Xu character engraved.

If it was in the past, there would be nothing in this Xu Zi.

But right now.

I learned the information from the Seagod Kingdom and the news of the Xu Kingdom, but I couldn't help but think about it too much.

More than a thousand years ago, what did Zhang Wen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, meet in Penglai Wonderland, and where did the great sage and the good teacher and Mo Junyao go.

Why did the ancestor return to Kyushu alone, and only brought back this statue from Penglai Wonderland, and did not leave any relevant records and descriptions of the statue.

"Asahi, Asahi Country?"

Zhang Qing lowered his head in contemplation and whispered.

"Regardless of whether this matter is related to Xuguo or not, our Zhang family has to send someone to Xuguo to find out what is going on."

Zhang Banxian did not respond, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

It was so unexpected.

Zhang Qing did not speak.

It was not his turn to send someone to the kingdom of the sea god.

The Zhang family has the rules of the Zhang family, and the Dao League has the rules of the Dao League.

-------------------------------------

The small accident of the Zhang family did not affect the changes in the world pattern, let alone the development of Xuguo.

The Matou Island trading point was officially opened ten days after the second auction.

Here, anyone can exchange their supplies for a panacea.

Healing Dan.

Fortify Dan.

Even longevity pills, you name it.

But the materials that Xuguo needs are no longer limited to goods from modern society. Rather than goods from modern society, Asahi prefers the corpses of ferocious beasts.

No matter what kind of beast the corpse is, you can exchange it for corresponding points on Matou Island, and then exchange it for various materials with the points.

Ten points for a mouse.

An ordinary pterosaur, one hundred points.

Basically, the bigger the beast, the more points it can redeem.

And they didn't know that Xuguo's standard for assessing the value of fierce beasts came from the amount of life energy obtained after absorbing fierce beasts in ancient bronze books.

Basically, one point is equivalent to one life energy.

Healing Dan, fifty points.

Strengthened Dan, three hundred points.

Longevity pill, 5,000 points.

All panaceas have a corresponding price.

When the transaction price of Xuguo was announced, it immediately sparked a monstrous discussion.

Not because it's too expensive, but because it's too cheap.

A living pterosaur cub is worth millions of dollars.

And now only the corpses of three adult pterosaurs are needed to exchange them for a strengthening pill.

Although the price of the Enhancement Pill has dropped, it is still as high as 50 million US dollars on the black market. The equivalent of the corpse of three adult pterosaurs can be sold for 50 million US dollars!

Capturing pterodactyl cubs alive is 100 times more difficult than killing adult pterosaurs.

How to choose, at a glance.

For a time, all the explorers went crazy.

With huge benefits, few people cared why Xuguo needed the corpse of a fierce beast.

They only know one thing now.

Even if you go out and kill a few damn rats, you can exchange them for a healing pill in Xuguo's hands.

And a healing pill is worth more than a million dollars!

Although it is wild and dangerous, modern weapons are not vegetarian.

It's more difficult to deal with a fierce beast at the overlord level, but it's not too easy to deal with an ordinary fierce beast.

Machine gun.

Bazooka.

Anti-tank guns.

Among the various modern weapons, ordinary beasts are almost always tortured and killed.

Since the release of the price list for Asahi Nation, a large number of mercenaries and explorers have taken on a new target.

They bought a large number of arms and began their own wild monster farming journey.

However, they are not stupid, they will not go deep into the wilderness, nor will they actively hunt powerful and unmanageable beasts.

Instead, it is centered on the mermaid town and slowly advances towards the dangerous wilderness.

November is destined to be a tumultuous month.

This month, the global arms trade has increased dramatically, and arms dealers have blossomed.

But the happiest is Yang Xu.

"Okay."

Yang Xu sat behind his desk, looked at the intelligence from Matou Island, and laughed.

It's only been a week since Matou Island opened, but more than 3,000 beast carcasses of all kinds have been harvested.

Roughly estimated, it is worth about 80,000 life energy.

Although most of them are lowest-level fierce beasts, there are too many of them.

Eighty thousand life energy is enough to add 1,600 Qingqiu Fox Clan, or more than 1,000 mermaids, or 800 Nuwa Clan, to Xuguo.

And that's just the beginning.

According to Pei Yao's statistics, this data is constantly rising, and it is close to receiving 20,000 life energy per day.

At the end of the month, it can reach a daily income of 30,000 life energy.

The future is bright.

In fact, Pei Yao's estimate is still too conservative.

As more and more people relied on the carcasses of ferocious beasts for a panacea, people's enthusiasm was completely ignited.

A gun.

A car.

You only need to hunt five big rats, and you can earn millions of dollars in no time!

What is this concept?

In most places in Nanyang, the per capita monthly income is only a few dozen US dollars.

One million dollars, equivalent to 20,000 months of income for many natives!

More than a thousand years!

This is a wealth that is almost impossible for ordinary people to save!

And now there is no need to break the law and commit crimes, just buy a weapon, drive a car, find a few big rats in the wilderness, and kill them!

That's it, a million dollars are in hand.

Of course, it's not that simple.

Although the rat is a mouse, it is a large mouse with a body length of more than half a year, or even about one meter, and it is agile and vigilant.

Hunting them is not an easy task and requires a certain amount of hunting skills.

But does it matter?

It really doesn't matter.

In the face of huge benefits, millions of people poured into the realm of the sea gods.

At the end of October, Mermaid Town had a population of only 300,000.

But by the end of November, the population of Mermaid Town exceeded one million!

People are crazy about farming monsters for the sake of wealth.

By the end of November, the daily trading volume of Matou Island had exceeded 60,000 life energy.

Every day, thousands of beast carcasses are sent to the islands.

November is a good January.

The trading point of Matou Island alone brought 980,000 life energy to Yang Xu!

That's the power of humanity.

Under the baptism of almost endless guns, ordinary fierce beasts have turned into resources and fell into the hands of Xuguo.

Of course, in the process, humanity also has a great loss.

Almost every day, hundreds of people fall into the wilderness, or become the lunch of fierce beasts, or die in all kinds of weirdness.

But the huge benefits, the huge wealth, make people ignore those casualties.

Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky!

When they came to the kingdom of the sea gods, they were ready for possible sacrifices. The people who disappear every day are far less than the more and more people who are pouring into the kingdom of the sea god.

According to the statistics of the International Consortium.

In November alone, more than two million people from around the world entered the kingdom of Poseidon.

They come from different countries.

From different ethnicities.

There are men and women, old and young.

But they have the same goal.

Make hay!

Make good money!

Time passes day by day under such circumstances.

At the end of November, Matou Island welcomed several special guests.

The sun never sets on representatives of the royal family!

The sun never sets, messenger!

On the order of the Prime Minister, they came to visit the lord of Xuguo on behalf of the sun!
