Volume 2 Chapter 147 Identifying Clues
Sedum has never understood why Hong Zhao told him so many of these things tonight, the Hong family was able to be the king of Dingnan for several generations, and how many people paid for it.
He already understood this truth, the ancestor of the Hong family was the king of Dingnan, the nominal grandfather, died early, Hong Zhao has always been outside to lead troops to fight, pacifying the land of the people, which is his greatest achievement, of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that the king of Dingnan has a Hong family army that can fight well.
And now he already knows that Hong Zhao is actually the queen of the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but why did he become a member of the Hong family? There should be a lot of stories in this, and no one knows if Hong Zhao doesn't say it.
But Hong Zhao will never say it, even to Sedum to his sister Hong Sleeve, he will not tell it, this is probably his biggest secret.
But because of the news of Hong Zhao's life experience, it is not an impermeable wall, at least Sedum knows that most people in the Southern Tang Dynasty court know it, and even many people in the Shendu court know it, but there is no evidence.
But since there is such information, suspicion of Hong Zhao is naturally inevitable, and the biggest problem that Hong Zhao may face in these years is how to deal with all kinds of suspicions in the imperial court.
Looking at Hong Zhao's expression and attitude now, Sedum faintly guessed something, Hong Zhao mentioned several times that we want to live for others, that is to be worthy of the descendants of the Hong family army under him, and also to be worthy of everyone in the Hong family army now.
lives for many people, in fact, it is not swayed by any force, whether it is the Southern Tang royal family or the Shendu court of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
Hong Zhao has his own ideas, what he does has a special meaning, he will exist in Dingnan City, and for him, maybe this is the most important thing.
"Father...... Don't say it, old man, I know what you mean, and I know what to do, but ...... tonight?"
Hong Zhao turned to look at him, his eyes were like electricity, and he nodded: "It's good if you understand, look for what you're looking for, it's in the pile of information books over there, you can take it and check it, and I know that you will leave again soon, but I hope that you can always keep your heart in Dingnan City." ”
Sedum looked at the stacked books under the divine case and nodded, but he opened his mouth and asked, "How do you know the teacher?"
Hong Zhao said: "Qiu Tianzun is the legendary supreme power, the ancestor of the Hong family has received his benefits back then, but no one has ever seen this ...... Powerful person, you can worship him as a teacher, and it can be regarded as your luck. ”
"I'm his student, not a disciple, he doesn't want to accept me as an apprentice, I don't care anyway, as long as he can help me solve the problem of my spiritual root cultivation, I will treat him as my master. Sedum said.
"Student, I don't know if it's a blessing you've cultivated in several lifetimes, don't be dissatisfied. ”
"What did the master just say to tell me that day? Look at your mysteries, what are you hiding from me?" Sedum suddenly remembered.
"Is this...... I'll tell you in two days, you make the preparations first, there are many notes and scrolls in it, Han Bobo has edited it, if you don't understand the ear, you can ask him directly. ”
After Hong Zhao finished speaking, he pointed to Han Bobo who was standing next to him, and Sedum immediately saluted: "Then you will trouble Uncle Han." ”
"I don't dare to be, it's also my honor to be able to help His Royal Highness. Han Bobo replied.
There are really a lot of books and notes in the small ancestral hall of the heroes and martyrs of Jingxiang Pavilion, and Sedum decided to move to his room to see it, he can't hide here to read.
In the next few days, Sedum began to close the door again, and even if his sister came to look for him, he couldn't say a few words to her, and plunged into the book notes.
Many of the books here are basically bound into volumes, but those notes are more scattered, but some of the most valuable information is often hidden in these notes, so Sedum starts reading from the notes.
The notes are divided into several categories, among which the most expensive is the information of the marching formation, which is thought to be the notes used by the master and staff officers in the army at the beginning.
There is also a record of what you have seen and heard, and of course there are miscellaneous records, but there is everything in this miscellaneous account, including legends and stories, local customs, strange phenomena, and some strange and strange things encountered by the army and individuals.
Of course, this is the most recent part of the time, and the older records no longer exist, probably abandoned in Han Bobo's collation and revision.
Sedum didn't have much hope for this, after all, there were too many rare things like alien fire, which was so easy to find.
Record all the records that involve some strange things, even some strange phenomena in the marching formation, and don't let go, of course, it is equivalent to reading a lot of stories, which also makes boring reading less difficult.
The final summary and comparison still need to trouble Han Bobo, after all, Sedum needs to gather all the clues related to the strange fire in the northwest and even the north.
There is an advantage of being with Han Bobo, that is, he can tell stories, and he followed Hong Zhao to march to the Xiliang region back then, and he has experienced countless battles and has a lot to see.
For example, he mentioned that after another battle to ambush Xiren, the Hong family army cleaned up the battlefield, only to see several headless corpses, all of which gathered together and fled together like ghosts!
The cavalry behind him pursued for a long time, but they still didn't catch up, and later learned that it was the other party's great wizard's method, because the headless corpses that died were very important figures in the Xiren tribe, and according to tradition, it was not okay for these people to die outside, and they had to return to the tribe.
Another time, in the Taibai Snow Mountain at the junction of Xiliang and Zhongzhou, the environment here is very harsh, and the ice cave under the mountain will not be cold, and the people and animals encountered will be frozen into ice bumps!
But right here, a team of cavalry of the Hong family army was attacked by a strange snow python snake, you must know that snakes will fall into hibernation after the temperature drops, even if the body is frozen hard, it will not die.
Obviously, there would be no snake python in the bitter cold temperatures, but it was incomprehensible that the big snake would come out of the snowdrift, unless there was something special in the snake's body.
There are many similar anecdotes, and Sedum is reading his notes while listening to Han Bobo tell these stories, which is also very interesting, because he knows that what Han Bobo said is generally true.
So he took notes very carefully, he had three such notes, and in the end, the three notes were eliminated together, and finally left four or five events that seemed to be related to the Northern Hellfire.
It's probably not easy to choose here, Sedum thought hard for a long time, and finally took notes to write down these four or five events one by one, and then took them to God to decide.
Tian also took these records and looked at them one by one, nodding his head while reading, and seemed to be very satisfied with the results of Sedum's summary and investigation.
"How's that, teacher? There are clues in these places, are we all going somewhere?"
"This Taibai Snow Mountain is located at the junction of Xiliang and Zhongzhou, it is a strange place, but the place is not small, are you sure you want to go there?" asked Tianye.
Sedum said: "I think so, since it is a different fire, it must be very different from other ordinary flames, and this fire is called the fire of the Northern Underworld, do you say that this fire emits a fire that has been cold, rather than a fiery flame?"
God looked at him with a smile, and his eyes motioned for him to go down and speak, continue to say what he thinks.
"The teacher hasn't explained too much, and I don't think I've ever seen this fire, so these are my conjectures, and Taibai Snow Mountain is very peculiar here, not the extreme west and the far north, why is it so cold? I think it has something to do with a very strange cold thing here. ”
"So...... This is my judgment, it's not an exaggeration to check it, and the big snake that Han Bobo said, the ice and snow snake is a rare guy, maybe there are strange things in this snake's body. ”
"Since you think so, and it makes sense, then go there and find out. God nodded and said.
Sedum saw that Tian Ye affirmed his thoughts, and immediately became happy, Tian Ye's insight is naturally stronger than his own, I don't know how much, he agrees, that must be right.
"And when are we leaving?" asked Sedum impatiently.
Tian Ye suddenly looked at him, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile, which made Sedum hesitate, Tian Ye's expression was too confusing, what does this mean?
"You can leave whenever you want, but before you go, did your father say anything to you?" said the Lord.
Sedum suddenly thought that a few nights ago, when Hong Zhao took him to Jingxiang Pavilion, when he met Tianye, Hong Zhao seemed to have said something to Tianye?
"Say...... What do you mean, teacher, what do you and my old man know that I don't know?"
"Hehe......!" God laughed, then shook his head and said: "There is indeed something, your father asked me, I think this matter involves you, I don't want to make a decision for you, you have to make your own decision." ”
"What the hell is going on? But I'm in a hurry!" Sedum scratched his ears and cheeks, and he couldn't do it in a hurry.
"I didn't think you would be like this with Sedum? Haven't you always been very calm? Don't ask me about this, go and ask your father yourself, right? From what he said, I think it is more appropriate. ”
God just doesn't say it, which makes Sedum very helpless, since he has to say to his father Hong Zhao to himself, then go to the old man, he still doesn't believe that Hong Zhao dares to pit himself?
"Okay, okay, teacher, you actually tricked me with my old man! You have learned badly!" Sedum turned around and left, and the heavenly master behind him shook his head again, thinking that Sedum's reaction was very funny.
As he walked, Sedum wondered what was going on? Can he ignore his ears and leave first? But he knew that if he walked away like this, he might keep thinking that he would not get an answer, and he would be more anxious than others.
Or just question the old man to his face and see what he wants to say to himself?
