44 The Ink Man Makes the Hidden Dragon

At that moment, the little boy had already told the origin of this "Yellow Spring Land" and said: "If you say that the origin of this 'Yellow Spring Land' is not a congenital birth, but an acquired creation, but it can be traced back to the earlier Spring and Autumn Period. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 It is said that its designer is a senior master of the Mo family, and the purpose is to create some 'hidden dragon' in Poyang Lake, but because it is too old, it cannot be verified after all. And when our ancestors discovered this 'land of yellow springs', the biggest trouble was a fat relic of an ancient divine beast guarding here, which was a giant snake with a song and two bodies, and even seven or eight adults holding hands could not hold its body. Fortunately, our ancestors invited the lake god from Shu for thousands of miles, which is also known as the 'Chaos Beast' in the world, and then destroyed one of the fat relics in the battle, but I am afraid that the ancestors will not be able to trap this fat relics in the ground, let alone enter this 'Yellow Spring Land' to find out. ā€

Xie Yixiang heard him talk about the snake king in the depths of the Han tomb, and secretly thought that the little boy in front of him knew a lot, since the words had already been said to this point, it was better to ask this matter clearly. At that moment, Xie Yixiang asked, "What's going on with that Han tomb? As for the fat relic that only has one body left, how can it appear in the depths of the Han tomb?"

The little boy sneered, "I know that when you entered the underworld this time, you came through the hole in the ground where the fat remains were. The cave where the fat remains live at this moment was originally built by our ancestors, and its purpose was to trap this big snake in it; as for the tomb, it was later an official of the Han Dynasty who wanted to build his own tomb, according to the principles of feng shui, it happened to be near our underworld. At that time, the family wanted to prevent them from repairing the tomb, but unexpectedly, there was an extremely powerful master among the other party, vaguely a witch from the Huns, who actually beat our people to defeat and retreat, and unreasonably blocked them, which allowed them to build the entire mausoleum. ā€

"Who knew that when the main chamber of the tomb was finally built, the craftsman who built the tomb accidentally opened the hole in the ground where we imprisoned the fat relics, and the fat relics turned into thousands of strange snakes, swallowing hundreds of them alive in one go, and even the witch was a little overwhelmed. In the end, when the Han Dynasty official heard that there was a giant snake living in his tomb, where would he dare to bury it here? Since then, the tomb has been abandoned to this day, and for hundreds of years, it has been uneventful. ā€

This ins and outs, when everyone entered the main room of the Han Tomb, Mo Xuankong had already guessed the approximation, and hearing the little boy's speech at this moment undoubtedly confirmed Mo Xuankong's conjecture. It's a pity that the chief protector of the Mo family has already died on the altar in order to save Lu Santong's life, Xie Yixiang thought of it at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I heard the little boy say again: "Speaking of which, this is the miracle of the fat remains of the ancient divine beasts, although they were torn off by our lake god and trapped in the depths of the cave, they can actually parasitize many strange snakes from their own bodies, and if they are hungry, they will even devour the little monster snakes parasitic on their bodies; even our lake gods are very fond of these strange snakes parasitic on the fat body, and often capture these strange snakes for food. In order to please the lake god, the ancestors were worried that the fat relic would starve to death, so we would often find some living creatures and throw them into the hole in the ground for generations, and have been feeding the fat relic to this day. ā€

Xie Yixiang secretly said in her heart: "It's just a big monster snake, and it's worth bragging about." But I don't know that the so-called fat relics have clearly died under Lu Santong's 'Great Black Sky Demon Law', I am afraid that the remaining little monster snakes, your lake god will not be able to eat for many days. ā€

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang didn't break the matter that the snake king had died, but took a deep breath, immediately returned to the topic, and asked: "Don't talk about it, robbed the imperial court of military salaries, and mutilated nearly a thousand lives! For thousands of years, your 'land of yellow springs' has been stained with too much blood, aren't you afraid that it will be full of evil and cause heavenly punishment?"

Seeing that Xie Yixiang's face was not good, the little boy couldn't help but show a sneer, and said, "If you want to talk about mutilating human lives, this 'Yellow Spring Land' has indeed damaged a lot of boats, but in the end it is just a tool. You keep accusing us of robbing the imperial court of salaries, but do you know that this time, whether it is the 'Land of Yellow Springs' or our people from the underworld, it is actually just a tool used by others, the knife that 'borrows a knife to kill people'. ā€

As he spoke, he looked directly into Xie Yixiang's eyes and asked word by word: "If you are really a messenger of the imperial court, how can you not know that this batch of military salaries is fake at all? Hmph, the so-called 20 million taels of silver, from beginning to end, we have never seen a single ingot of silver!"

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but gasp. You must know that on that altar before, listening to the words of the sixth great-grandmother of the family steward, she also said that this batch of military salaries was actually fake, and there was no silver in it at all. Wen Tianting and Yan Sidao, who were present at the time, also had a dispute over this, although the two did not say it explicitly, but listening to the insinuations in their words, they obviously agreed with the statement of the sixth great-grandmother.

Xie Yixiang has always been puzzled about this, and she didn't dare to assert it, but at this moment, when she heard the little boy in front of her mention this matter again, saying that there was no military salary in the fleet at all, she thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Nonsense!"

Xie Yixiang's denial was deliberately tempted by him. Sure enough, the little boy immediately sneered and asked, "Even the big crime of robbing military salaries, we dare to admit it, so why do we need to lie to you with this matter?" After that, he looked at Xie Yixiang with disdain, and said: "According to the rules of the underworld, we would never participate in the affairs of the official family, because no matter which dynasty or generation, these guys in the upper position can't be trusted or relied on after all." It's like eleven years ago, we made an exception to intervene in a big battle on Poyang Lake, and it is said that we even saved the life of the current emperor, but the emperor sent a large number of masters afterwards in a vain attempt to wipe us out and completely exterminate us. In the end, the family suffered numerous casualties, and at the cost of blood, the disaster was resolved, and the non-aggression agreement with the emperor was made. Therefore, it stands to reason that we should not have been contaminated with this batch of military salaries from the imperial court. ā€

Speaking of this, the little boy's face was faintly covered with anger, and as soon as the conversation began, he couldn't help but continue: "Many years ago, there was a clan member in the underworld who rebelled and actually became the leader of the Divine Fire Sect in the earthly world. This time, he came in person and begged his family to help, and wanted to rob the imperial court of this batch of military salaries. Hmph, that's stupid!"

Xie Yixiang knew that the clansman who "betrayed the door" in the little boy's mouth was Fang Dongfeng, the military advisor of Dongting Lake, and Yin Kuangyu, the eleventh sect leader of the former Shenhuo Sect;

I only heard the little boy continue: "This request of his not only violates the ancestral teachings of the underworld, but also with the relationship between us and the current imperial court, we should not touch the military salary of the imperial court. Therefore, the family steward was going to refuse him at that time, but he promised that he would blame the loss of military salary on the head of Jiang Wangcai, a bandit in Dongting Lake, as long as the family did a clean job, it would be absolutely foolproof and would not cause any trouble. In addition, this person has too many grievances and entanglements with his family, and the family steward was finally moved by him, so he arranged the operation of robbing the military salary. We went to great lengths to lure the convoy of military payrolls to Poyang Lake, and then sucked all the cargo ships into it with the miracle of the 'Land of Yellow Springs,' only to find out that there was any silver on board, and that it was loaded with nothing but broken copper and iron, and hundreds of baskets of stones!"

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang combined with the conversation between the six great-grandmothers and Wen Tianting and Yan Sidao on the altar before, and already believed six or seven points in his heart. First, the other party told the story of the incident conclusively, and second, as the little boy said, it was already a heinous crime to rob the military salary, and since the other party had frankly admitted it, why should he lie that there was no silver on the ship?

However, she still refused to admit it, and asked: "How is this possible? You must know that the transportation of military salaries this time is different from the past, because the imperial court is short of troops, so it is the emperor's eleventh prince Hengwang who comes forward to guarantee it, and invites the seventeen largest dart bureaus in the Central Plains to escort it." If the court wants them to transport only some broken copper, iron and stones, and those dart masters are veterans, how can they not see it? Once they find out that something is wrong, they are afraid that they will not take the dart at all. ā€
