When I was young, I heard my grandfather say that our ancestors were descendants of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows that there is a Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and there are 24 portraits in the Lingyan Pavilion, these 24 portraits are the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the heroes of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who came to remember the heroes who fought the world with him at the beginning. And one of the twenty-four founding fathers, he is Li Shimin's cousin, and he ranks second among the twenty-four imperial relatives, he is Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong conquered Bashu all his life, captured Zhu Cang, destroyed Xiao Liang, broke the auxiliary Gongyou, pacified Jiangnan, and made countless military exploits, therefore, he is also the only clan of Lingyan Pavilion's heroes, and the only hero with a prince.

But anyone who knows a little about the inverted bucket knows that the tomb robbery has been in ancient times, since the theft of Qin, the twenty-three dynasties, the world has no grave, the world has changed dynasties, and there are many people who dig graves in the cave like a gadfly, but trace back to the source, most of the tomb robbery activities are officially initiated, that is, the so-called "official thieves".

It is said that in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the heroes rose together, Tang Gaozu Li Yuanyu sent troops from Taiyuan, captured Chang'an in four months, and called the emperor half a year later. And Li Xiaogong's conquest on the battlefield cost a huge amount of money and food, which is naturally an astronomical amount. In order to raise military expenses, Li Xiaogong secretly imitated Cao Cao, started the idea of a dead man, and personally prepared an official tomb robbery force similar to Captain Mojin and General Faqiu Zhonglang, called "Xunlong Taibao".

But after all, the livelihood of tomb robbing is not very glorious, in order to prevent leakage of news, the people selected by Li Xiaogong are all loyal and capable Li children, and each person is issued with a dragon ring and a tattoo of the dragon pattern to prove his identity.

If you want to talk about this dragon seeking ring, it is really a rare thing. According to my grandfather, this ring was made by Li Xiaogong with a thousand years of blood jade, red and white, hard as gold, engraved with double dragons circling, like flying to the sky, can help find the dragon Taibao hair mound digging grave, omnipotent. Because it was a limited edition at the beginning of its existence, and now it is even rarer, and it is naturally valuable.

However, I have always had doubts about whether this thing is worth anything, after all, blood jade is an unpopular and evil in the collecting circle, and there are not many people who play it. The formation of blood jade is related to the corpse, when the person is buried, as the jade of the jade, is forcibly stuffed into the population, if the person just died, the jade swallowed in one breath was stuffed in, it will fall into the throat with the gas, into the dense blood vessels, for a long time, the dead blood is stained, and the blood will go straight to the heart of the jade, and it will form a gorgeous blood jade. This kind of thing often falls on the skull's swallow, and is the most precious of all the corpses.

But compared to the dragon hunting ring, the green dragon tattoo is much more evil.

Once, my grandfather came home late at night. As soon as I entered the house, I fell to the ground, I was still young, I ran over to take a look, only to see that he was covered in blood, and he didn't know when a blue-black green dragon tattoo appeared on his body, and he was carrying a strange thing in his hand, and when I saw it clearly, I immediately gasped.

Afterwards, I asked my grandfather curiously, "Grandpa, why did you use to be bare-chested and have no tattoos on your body?" ”

But the grandfather didn't say it explicitly, just smiled and said, "This is the secret of our Li family, and you will know it when you grow up." ”

This matter has been bothering me for many years, and slowly I realized that only when we encounter something drastic or do intense sports, will we have a green dragon tattoo on our body, which is still the symbol of the Dragon Hunting Taibao.

Xunlong Taibao does not continue the sect with a teacher, but relies on blood inheritance. After arriving in Jiangnan, they gathered together to live in a family and settle down by passing on the boxing method. But because of the lack of popularity, when the family incense was at its peak, it was only a hundred or ten people. In order to make a living, Xunlong Taibao had to continue to make a living by robbing tombs. But tomb robbery is a dishonorable act after all, and if you are caught, you will go to prison. Therefore, the Dragon Hunting Taibao likes to work alone, and over time, there are fewer and fewer people in this vein.

How many do I have, you ask? I really don't know. Anyway, all I know is that when it came to me, there was only one dragon ring.

By the time of my grandfather Li Cunyi, he could only earn a little money by teaching his neighbors to practice boxing. However, when I was eleven years old, my grandfather was in distress in an ancient tomb in Xiangxi, and was sprayed by corpse gas, and the corpse was poisonous and cold, and he escaped from the tomb by luck, but he never recovered, and returned to the West after a few years.

Before dying, my grandfather beckoned me to him and said, "Li Rui, I passed on your Twelve Ways Dragon Seeking Fist, you have memorized it, and you need to practice diligently every day in the future, and you must not waste it." I have an ancient book here "Fuxi Thirty-six Hexagrams Seeking the Dragon Sutra", this book is the treasure of my Li family's Dragon Taibao, your father is not filial, and he refuses to inherit this book. Grandpa is now approaching, so he has to pass this book on to you, and as for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on your creation. After saying that, he didn't catch his breath and passed away.

I was not sensible at that time, but after my grandfather died, I was forced to practice boxing every day, and I was even a little happy in my heart. But since then, my father has been like a different person, and he regrets that he didn't listen to his grandfather at the beginning, and if he obediently inherited the "Fuxi Thirty-six Hexagrams and Searching for the Dragon Sutra", he would not let my grandfather die with hatred.

My father was saddened, so I studied this old book when I had nothing to do. Over time, there are also some mysteries. After I officially entered the antique industry, because it was inevitable that I had some contact with tomb robbers, I did a lot of business by relying on the skills I learned. But I set a rule for myself, all those who take the Ming Instrument are only for the sake of wealth, and they will never be greedy, let alone break people's houses. Therefore, in this circle, only Lao Qi and Yu Fat have few ears.

According to my grandfather, once the people of our lineage took over the "Fuxi Thirty-six Hexagrams and Dragon Hunting Sutra" from the hands of the previous generation, they will wear the dragon hunting ring for life. What's even more legendary is that the Dragon Seeking Ring can avoid the taboos of gods and ghosts in the world, have the ability to drive away blessings and misfortunes, obtain the creation of heaven and earth, observe the truth of the universe, and have the power to subvert the world.

I didn't wear a dragon hunting ring, so naturally I couldn't verify the truth of these rumors. However, just like the hair mound has a seal, and the gold has a charm, each sect likes to play with some illusory and ethereal legends to increase its own legendary color, and our Dragon Hunting Taibao is naturally no exception.

As for why I didn't wear it, it was all because my stubborn father, in order to protect the only bloodline of my Li family, disobeyed my grandfather's last wish and hid the dragon hunting ring, saying that only after I opened up the branches for the Li family, could he give this thing to me, otherwise even if he was removed from the family tree, he would never agree.

But the problem is that the genealogy of my Li family is in his hands, and this is no different from nonsense. So, I also died of this heart, and I never had the luxury of getting the Dragon Seeking Ring back.

When I returned to the city, I didn't go back to the store, but took Lin Xiaoyu directly to the hotel. This little lady came to Shaoxing to hunt for treasure alone, she was unfamiliar with the place, and she had just experienced the harassment of gangsters, she was really pitiful, so she was a good person to the end and gave her a ride.

I led her to open a room at the Xianheng Hotel, not far from Tashan Cultural Square, while I asked for an hourly room next door, thinking that I would leave when the time came.

"Knock knock", then there was a knock at the door.

"Li Rui, it's me, can I come in?"

"The door is not closed, come in."

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyu pushed the door in.

"Li Rui, I'm scared to stay in the room alone, can I stay with you for a while?" Lin Xiaoyu said shyly.

"It's okay, you can sit down for a while."

I smiled warmly.

Although I don't have a girlfriend, I still have a charming smile when I have to say it.

"Li Rui, I have a question I don't know if I should ask?" Lin Xiaoyu looked up at me, but quickly lowered his head again.

I laughed and said, "You want to ask me why I don't have a girlfriend." ”

"Poof", Lin Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That's not it, although you look ordinary, but if you look closely, it's still quite attractive." ”

"Oh? Are you sure this is not consolation? I asked with a smile.

"Of course not, because your smile is very healing, and a man with such a smile is still very popular with girls." Lin Xiaoyu said.

Li Rui smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard of this statement. ”

"By the way, I also have a question for you, why did those people in the car chase you just now?"

However, Lin Xiaoyu didn't seem to want others to know his identity, and was a little silent for a while.

I didn't want to be embarrassed, so I smiled, "It's okay, if you don't want to say, I won't ask." ”

Lin Xiaoyu looked embarrassed and said, "Li Rui, if there is a chance, I will tell you." ”

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, you're going back tomorrow anyway, maybe we won't see each other again in the future." ”

Lin Xiaoyu pondered for a long time and said, "Li Rui, I can see that you are not an ordinary person. ”

I was surprised, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Oh, what's wrong with me?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu said: "When you went to save me before, the power of that kick was more powerful than the bodyguards around my father, doesn't this mean that you are definitely not just an antique shop owner, right?" ”

I couldn't help but be impressed by this woman, her observation was not ordinarily strong, and she said, "You can see this, it must not be a simple person. Tell me, Miss Lin, who are you? Why do you have to follow me? ”

Lin Xiaoyu sighed and said, "I'm a trouble, a big trouble!" ”

I looked at her and asked, "Are you in big trouble?" How so? ”

Lin Xiaoyu sighed lightly and said, "Do you remember the agreement I told you?" There were three conditions in the agreement, one was for the Heavenly King to send his son, and the other was for my father to agree to marry me to the creditor's nephew. Today is my wedding day, but the groom is not someone I like, so I escaped. I want to buy "The King of Heaven Sends His Son", in fact, not only to pay off my father's debts, but also to marry someone I don't like. ”

I was stunned and said, "It turned out to be a bride who ran away from marriage, but why are you in big trouble?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "There are some forces in my family, if they know that I am on your side, it may be unfavorable to you." ”

I looked at her and asked, "You mean, you're not going to leave here for a while?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu looked at me pitifully and said, "Li Rui, you are a good person, I am relieved to be here." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't compliment me, I know very well who I am, if you want to stay, then stay, when you want to leave, just go, anyway, I will neither keep you nor drive you, how about it?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoyu nodded.

"I see that you have been frowning just now, are you thinking about Uncle Qi?" Lin Xiaoyu then asked.

I looked out the window, nodded, and said, "I thought that if I found Lao Qi, everything would fall into place, but I didn't expect that this matter was far more complicated than I thought." ”
