Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Twenty-Five: The Recorded Past

This toss came to the end, but Qiu Shaohu didn't expect a few.

I didn't expect that it was Xuan Zhensi, who was hand-eyed, would actually come to Huang Yue, a little deflated three, it seems that when he didn't know, these beggars really came into contact with some incredible things.

Another unexpectedly, it is the Yamen Mansion of Xuanzhen Division, which is actually in Haoshan, just on the other side of the mountain, at this time, just under his feet, you can clearly see that the flat boundary of the entire mountain has divided the largest mansion, which is specially used as a place for Xuanzhen Division to deal with things on weekdays.

But under the nose of this Xuanzhen Division, not only did they not notice the mausoleum hidden in Haoshan for so long, but they didn't even know that this place was used as a nest by a group of beggars, maybe it was the so-called "black under the lamp".

But I just don't know, Xuan Zhensi even did not hesitate to use those city-breaking equipment this time, but also went deep into Haoshan Mountain, did he find out some things. At least the coffins that were looted should have been found by them. Qiu Shaohu saw just now that what was transported away by them, except for those battering rams that were deployed from the Arsenal Division without authorization, was the coffin.

The secrecy of the stolen body is probably even more amazing than most people imagine. The phosphorus powder refined from the corpse is also a raw material for refining gunpowder, and it can correspond to everything found in Dengyun Pavilion before.

But Qiu Shaohu suspected that this matter was not so simple, because if you want to secretly make gunpowder, there are actually ways to obtain raw materials. But those people took the risk of going to the cemetery to steal the corpses, proving that they were definitely making a huge amount of gunpowder, and the amount was amazing!

But so far, this matter has gone beyond his control. Since gunpowder is one of the weapons strictly controlled by the imperial court, and Xuanzhen Si has already found those people on behalf of the imperial court, and the rest is still left to them to do by themselves, Qiu Shaohu has lost the need to investigate. And those people who have suffered heavy losses this time should be honest for a while.

Only, who are they?

Qiu Shaohu originally doubted their relationship with the resting place, but the ghost path methods shown by the other party were plausible to the resting place.

"Oops......" Not far away, there was a groan.

As for the wind, it is lying there at this time. In order to subdue him just now, Qiu Shaohu really took a lot of effort, but fortunately, he was delirious when he went crazy, so he took the opportunity to use the sleep charm to make him fall asleep again.

But even so, in a hurry, Qiu Shaohu was beaten a few times by the other party, and now there is a faint pain in his chest.

"With this kind of cultivation and strength, I'm afraid you are one of the 'five elders' with the same name as Tang Xun and Wu Jingxing, and the 'old madman' of the 'unworthy people'." Qiu Shaohu guessed the identity of the other party, after all, the humane means of guarding the tomb shown by the other party before were also enough to be superb.

But no matter what, for now, we have to take Feng Wanshu out of here first, and I don't know if there is a fixed time for him to have a mad attack, and then there is no other way than to feed him some decoction that was prescribed in the Shen Doctor's Clinic.

"Oops, you're so heavy, isn't it time to lose weight." Qiu Shaohu struggled to pick up Feng Wanshu again, and after tossing for a whole day from just now to now, Qiu Shaohu was already paralyzed.

"Huh?"

As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly noticed an unnatural tremor under his feet, "What's the matter?" The power of the Seven Killing Stars made his sense of touch extremely keen, and he could perceive that the source of the vibration seemed to be under the ground behind him.

This is the mountainside of Haoshan Mountain, because the underground dark river has washed him to another position before, and it is already very far away from taking out the imperial tomb, and behind him is a cliff with his back to the ridge.

"Maybe it's pangolins or something." Qiu Shaohu thought, because just now, those tremors disappeared.

But after he had not taken two steps, he felt that there seemed to be something behind him.

"Who!"

Qiu Shaohu looked back, his eyes swept over, except for the wind on his back, where were there other people.

didn't think much about it at the moment, Qiu Shaohu left here quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of anyone on the huge mountain.

Only in the place where he had just been, the shadow that fell from the shadows was trembling slightly.

……

At the gate of Xuanzhen Division, as Jiang Wei and the others came back with the crowd, it caused a burst of busyness, but it soon became deserted again.

At this time, the night was getting deeper, and in front of the gate of Xuanzhen Division, only one guard was still guarding the door.

He was standing on the high steps when he suddenly heard a light greeting, "Heyβ€”"

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, the guard looked down and saw a man with red lips and white teeth standing at the bottom of the steps.

"I'm so hard to find?" An Jin was a little dissatisfied with what he said.

"Xuanzhen is a major place, and scholars are not allowed to approach during the examination. If there is nothing urgent, please leave. "The guard had no intention of communicating with this short bachelor, just as he said as usual.

"I have something important." An Jin said.

"You?" The guards really didn't believe that an ordinary scholar had something important to report at this time.

"After the examination, in addition to being allowed to write poems in the Chengyuan Tower, the scholars after the enrollment were all allowed to go on a boat with the emperor at night to discuss the study of literature and the situation between the DPRK and China. When the boat was on the boat, the guards of the scholars were all in charge of the Xuanzhen Division, who had always protected the safety of the royal family, and all the scholars needed to go to the Xuanzhen Division to register and make a register, so as to facilitate management, which was the practice in previous years," An Jin said slowly, "I am here to register." ”

"Interesting," listening to An Jin's words, the guards became a little interested, "But according to the rules, even if you register, you have to wait until the end of the test." Now that there are still a few days left before the test, how can you just think that you can be on the gold list? Besides, you are the door of this Xuanzhen Division, so easy to enter. ”

"If you are not sure, how can you say anything. If there is no stepping stone here, how can you pave the golden road? An Jin said, took a small bag casually, and threw it to the other party.

The guard took a pinch, and he had a plan in his heart. The imperial court gave special preferential treatment to scholars, and all those who showed their talents paid tribute to the students, and there were two taels of silver in January. Although the silver that An Jin gave him at the moment is not much, it must have been accumulated for a long time, which is equivalent to almost a year's salary for the guards themselves, and this gift is really not small.

"Well, I can take you to register in advance, and you can come with me." The guard thought about this, smiled at An Jin, and took the initiative to lead the way in front.

He really appreciates An Jin's arrogance, and since this scholar has this talent, he will definitely be either rich or expensive in the future, and he will definitely be among the best on the gold list. Like this kind of outstanding new scientists, they must also be selected by Manshan Academy first, and they all belong to the forces of the imperial masters, and no one wants to offend them. On the contrary, if it is made friends as soon as possible, the future return will not be more than a thousand taels of silver?

The internal layout of the Xuanzhen Division is extremely complicated, with a small road leading to the backyard, and several doors leading to different rooms in the middle, and the officials of the Xuanzhen Division who are still on duty here at night are busy everywhere. The guards took An Jin to a room in the outer courtyard, which was filled with all kinds of documents, many of which were records of the registration of scholars over the years.

"This year's scholars, let's write it here." The guard brought An Jin a new list and said to him, "You are the first person to register, and I wish you ...... here."

"Ahh

After all, not all military attaches are in the Xuanzhen Division, and many of the daily affairs have to be taken care of by some civilian officials, so they are much more vulnerable in comparison.

Seeing the other party leaving, An Jin immediately got up and went to find the information she was looking for.

What he was looking for was a record of the previous year's registration, because all the records from previous years were placed nearby according to the year, and it was not difficult to find them at all.

He planned it from the beginning, he wrote a threatening letter in advance and sent it to the department in charge of liaison with the Xuanzhen Division, and in order to make the threatening letter more impactful, he also used red ink instead of "blood". And in order to make a safe plan, he also investigated it in advance, knowing that among the people in charge of the Xuanzhen Division's errand, the person in charge of the letter was the most timid and would definitely scream to attract others, while the guard standing guard at the door was the most greedy for money and would definitely agree to his request.

Soon, An Jin found what he wanted, and turned out the records left by the scholar after the previous year's examination, and he quickly found the name of "Shi Yi".

However, there is only a name, and in the detailed registration information, the whole article is empty, and it seems that this person did not exist in the first place.

……

"You'll have to come here eventually, but you're really not suitable for patients."

In the thatched hut next to the cemetery, Qiu Shaohu said with emotion while boiling medicine for Feng Wanshu, who was lying on the bed.

Embarrassed to continue to trouble An Jin, Qiu Shaohu could only return to the other party's own residence with Feng Wanshu. What makes Qiu Shaohu doubt is how he can live here in the midst of the storm on weekdays. In the whole thatched hut, there were no necessities such as pots and pans, and Qiu Shaohu was now buying a crockpot from the market to continue to boil medicine for this old madman.

Feng Wanju didn't seem to mind at all, he was still lying on the bed and not waking up at this time, his breathing was extremely steady, and he looked very quiet, as if the crazy appearance before was completely fake.

"'A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable', you don't look like a transcendent saint written in this kind of book." After the medicine was decocted, Qiu Shaohu poured it in the bowl and walked in front of Feng Wanyu, and said in a deep voice: "But you can endure this, which proves that you feel that compared to what you want, these pains are not worth mentioning." ”

Feng Wanshu was still asleep and did not answer.

Maybe even if he woke up, he wouldn't have answered the question.
