The three generals led the escort troops into the city, and first followed the soldiers to the so-called original Hou Mansion, and in front of them was only a flat and smooth land, as if many people often ran and trampled on this land. Later, the sergeant called several local residents, one of whom was an old farmer who often delivered vegetables to the Hou Mansion, and they confirmed that this was indeed the location of the original Hou Mansion. But I don't know where the Hou Mansion went, and I don't know why it didn't even leave a single tile and it was gone.

The three generals found a few more people who lived not far from the Hou Mansion, and after further inquiry, they confirmed that this flat and smooth place was undoubtedly the Hou Mansion. What's even more surprising is that one of them also confirmed that he went to the Hou Mansion early this morning to deliver the bamboo shoots that had just been dug up, but the Hou Mansion went there, and no one could say how they disappeared. The three of them discussed for a while and couldn't figure out a clue, and when the three of them had nothing to do, one of them said: "Yes, didn't the woman who started to block us say that we should play the emperor, send officials, and recruit soldiers, which shows that this matter is related to them, at least they should know about it."

"That's right, how did I forget this, didn't the order say that everything should be done according to their arrangement, hurry up. In addition, people were sent to inspect the situation in various jurisdictions. ”

The three of them acted separately, sending a quick horse to report while sending troops to garrison the place where there were no officials. The soldiers of the Hou Mansion were recruited, and it was found that there was not a single officer in the army, not even a squad leader, all the soldiers were the same statement, and the officer disappeared in a blink of an eye, and no one could say what was going on.

Three days later, the three of them gradually understood the reason for the incident, and the people and merchants who were present at the time gradually returned to the city afterwards, and were invited to the general's office by the soldiers during the discussion. It's still too late to catch up, and things have already happened, but it's just that it's strange and incomprehensible. When the three of them understood, they couldn't help but tremble, first, they did not arrive in time according to the order, and they did not complete their duties as an escort; second, according to the order, once something happened, the escort was angry and asked them to judge themselves. The three of them discussed for a long time, and had to pack up all the things they had learned and what was happening now, and report to them as soon as possible, while they sent troops everywhere to wait for orders.

The emperor Li Shimin had just finished his deliberations in the court and was resting in the court, and before the officials walked out of the palace compound, they heard the doorman shouting to report quickly, and then the sound of horses' hooves came straight to the courtyard from far and near. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the newspaper holder could ride a horse directly to the front of the main hall to report. Therefore, as soon as all the officials heard the urgent report, they all stopped, and the secretary of the military department immediately walked to the front of the main hall. All the officials also turned around and returned to the main hall, and the general of the guard in front of the hall took the urgent report, and hurried to the main hall to hand it to the military department Shangshu, who looked at the cover and said: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report sent by the three generals from Shanyu Hou. ”

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Hurry up and open it, read." ”

When the secretary of the military department finished reading the emergency report, except for the emperor and a few henchmen around the emperor who understood what was going on, the rest of the ministers were full of mist when they heard it, and even the secretary of the military department was confused. It is required to send officials, and it is all officials from top to bottom. Looking at the emergency report in his hand, the military department Shangshu was so angry, and said in his heart: How did I meet such three bastards, I can't even explain things clearly, and I dare to issue an emergency report to His Majesty, and I have to report it to His Majesty for severe punishment. Thinking of looking up and seeing that all the ministers were looking at him with a look that did not know him, and when he thought about the mess of urgency, he couldn't help but blush, after all, the three of them were the people under his jurisdiction. Just when the secretary of the military department bowed his head in shame, Li Shimin looked at several people in the know and secretly congratulated him, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The widow has been waiting for this report for a long time, and he can report it with a quick report. The officials quickly dispatched officials to take up their posts, and the prime minister approved them. The territory under its jurisdiction shall be administered by the government. After An Pai finished, he couldn't help but think of Ding Yi's various things, and said with emotion: "My friend, this thing is completely beautiful, Shenlong can't see the beginning and the end, how can I thank him." ”

The ministers just listened to the emperor's arrangement, and they didn't know what was going on with Lu Dao, and after arranging the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin left a few ministers who knew about it to discuss. Li Shimin asked about thanking each other, and the minister said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the worldly things to get into his eyes, to see if he can find some medicinal herbs and plants that are more than 10 million years old or can come up with them." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but think that the priceless things he saw in Ding's room were placed at will, and even the jade seal became a paperweight, which he could use casually, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. When one of the people next to him asked the emperor why he had such an expression, Li Shimin told him what he had seen, and after listening to it, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in disbelief. Li Shimin said: "The widow's friend, because no one knows his identity, so he can't tell you clearly, the things that the widow said and saw are just toys for his friend's childhood." Judging from this, these things that are extremely rare in the world are hard to find, and there can be so many of them, and they are completely inappropriate, what kind of identity should you say, what kind of background should you have. ”

When the ministers heard the emperor say this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and one of the ministers said: "The one Your Majesty said, Weichen heard that it seems to be a person from the Ding family's manor, and the people in the manor call him Gongzi, who may be the child of the owner of the manor." ”

The other said: "Lonely and unheard, that child is said to be respectful even to the owner's wife, as if she had become the child's nanny." ”

Li Shimin said: "Don't guess anymore, his identity can't let others know the Dao, even the elders of Tianxiaomen have become followers, everyone just knows the Dao, now the widow has said a few more words on a whim, and it must not be spread from now on." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, even the emperor, who was a friend, was deeply taboo and didn't dare to say more, not to mention them, if they showed their mouths, they were afraid that their lives would be lost, so they nodded their heads again and again, promising to forget about this matter from now on, and said that they would help the emperor do his best to search for various medicinal herbs and plants that are tens of millions of years old.

After Ding Yiyi and his entourage crossed the city, they walked for a few days and turned around and headed east. This is the Taishi Gong and the two elders said, there are a lot of treasures in the east sea that do not know the name of the Dao, and they have unexpected effects on cultivators, although there are many treasures, but because the ocean is too big, the weather can change, so far people have not been able to really understand the ocean, so everyone agreed to go to the ocean to explore the scriptures. After a few days of travel, the climate gradually became hot and humid, and there were more flowers and trees around. The prince consulted with the people that they should travel until the East China Sea, which was the farthest from the mainland.

On this day, everyone came to the seaside of the East China Sea, and heard from the locals that there were once eight monks who sought immortals, who went out to sea from here to seek the Tao, and finally became immortals. Standing on top of the steep reef, everyone watched the sea water hit the stone wall under their feet one by one, making a regular sound of rattling and rattling, looking at the sea in the distance as flat as a mirror, and forming waves in the near distance, hitting the shore. Looking at the sea in the distance, the sea seems to be gradually bulging in the eyes of people, and it has always been connected with the blue sky. The sea water and the blue sky reflect each other, becoming one color, and the sun shines on the sea, forming a little shining star, which is dazzling to the eye. After looking at it for a while, everyone felt that their hearts were infected by the magnanimity of the ocean, so that they also became tall and open-minded, and the troubles of the world have all turned into a breeze here, leaving behind the admiration of nature's grandeur and generosity, the admiration of the natural avenue, and the feeling of the call that the avenue of heaven and earth specially left for themselves. The sun slowly drifted away, and the night gradually deepened, and the master said: "I have come to the beach, and I can see it every day in the future, now hurry up to find a house to live in, and a boat that needs to go to sea." ”

Only then did everyone withdraw their gaze and leave amid the sound of the waves. Back at the residence, Taishi Gong said again: "The beauty of the sea lies in watching the sunrise, early tomorrow morning, everyone go to the place where we go today, and see the sunrise." ”

Early the next morning, the sky was still dark and dreary, Taishi Gong beckoned everyone to see the sunrise, came to yesterday's place, everyone quietly looked towards the east, in the darkness of the sky faintly appeared a bright line, the bright light from a line slowly widened and expanded, in the process of changing, a blood-red ball floated in the shaking water, for a while the ball seemed to break free from the bonding of the sea water and jumped lightly, leaving the sea water and hanging in the air.
