Lan Yue didn't speak for a long time, but just looked at Shen Chaixing carefully for a long time, and looked at Shen Chaixing in her heart, and said, "What's the matter?

Lan Yue said: "It doesn't look like you're lying, I've also heard of King Wu's treasure, but how can it be so coincidental?

Shen Chaixing's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Wow! You can also see this! Did you do the same thing as Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian when you were in the imperial court, you can know whether this person is true or false by looking at people's expressions, and whether he is hiding it?" As he spoke, he took out the tightly wrapped jade pendant from his arms, and continued: "I'm not hiding it, I haven't finished it!" and handed the jade pendant to Lan Yue. At the same time, he told Lan Yue about the numbers recorded in Shen Heng's notes and his speculation that the treasure might be in Taizhou.

Lan Yue took the jade pendant in her hand and weighed it, and saw that it was quite heavy, the color was soft, and the shape was simple, he was a person who knew the goods, so he was sure that Shen Chaixing was not joking, and took a closer look under the lamp, and after a long time, he pointed the jade to Shen Chaixing: "You see that this jade plate is different from the ordinary jade pendant, the three sides are irregularly shaped, I guess it should be the opening of some kind of mechanism." The image on the front is Zhenwu the Emperor, suggesting that this treasure is related to the Taoist Zhenwu Emperor, and the Big Dipper pattern and text on the reverse side should indicate the specific location of the treasure. As he spoke, he handed the jade pendant back to Shen Chaixing, thinking: "This is really a coincidence, the Emperor Zhenwu is also known as the Emperor Xuanwu, and Xi Yingzhen gave me the proverb 'Xuanwu Ji', and Liu Ji specially taught me the science of the arrangement of the organs in Qimen Dunjia, is it the providence of God that I asked him to help him take out the treasure of King Wu?"

Shen Chaixing was very happy to see that Lan Yue also agreed with his statement, and said, "As the saying goes, there are no books without coincidence, and there are as many books as there are in this world!"

Lan Yue saw that he began to get carried away and talk nonsense again, for fear that he would accidentally suffer a loss in words again, so he hurriedly covered his head and fell asleep.

Shen Chaixing was on the rise, seeing him sleeping, how to agree, uncovered the blue moon quilt and asked: "Don't sleep yet, do you agree or not?"

Lan Yue could only get up and say, "I can promise you to help you go treasure hunting." Remember, it's for you! After finding the treasure, everything is yours, and then I go mine, as I repay you for saving your life today. Lan Yue's words are indeed from the heart, to this little brother I just met, Lan Yue likes and is grateful in my heart, likes his pure and kind heart, appreciates his life-saving grace, and is even more grateful for his unreserved trust in himself.

Shen Chaixing saw that Lan Yue agreed to hunt for treasure with him, and said with great joy: "I can be your promise to me!" and then said angrily: "What's yours and mine, you are so calculating, you look like a girl." He said a strange cry of "sleep", flew to bed, and after a while, he fell asleep, but he didn't know what interesting things he saw in his dreams, and sometimes he giggled.

This night, Shen Chaixing slept soundly, but Lan Yue was full of worries, thinking of a friend like Shen Chaixing for a while and feeling lucky, and worrying about Shang Yun'er's safety for a while, trying not to miss his family, but their faces appeared in front of him from time to time, and they were dazed until about four watches, and then fell asleep in the gentle shaking of the cabin.

The next morning, the two got up early, came to the bow deck, at this time the ship has entered the canal between Yangzhou and Taizhou, both sides of the river are rape fields, when the rape flowers bloom, look from afar, the eyes are full of golden cauliflower, brilliant and dazzling, and fragrant, the two are in a good mood.

The ship line soon entered the territory of Taizhou, and the fleet entered through the water gate of the Taizhou city wall. It turns out that the water system of Taizhou is extremely developed, the Yangtze River can reach the sea to the south, there is a canal to the east to Yangzhou can enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the Huai River water system is connected to the north, so the city gate of Taizhou is more than the general city There are more water gates dedicated to the fleet, the blue moon and Shen Chasing Star are breathtaking, especially when the fleet crosses a high bridge, Shen Chasing Star is even more unable to close his mouth, and keeps exclaiming.

Because Taizhou is located in Jiangbei, the inspection is not strict, and the relationship between Fu Lao Liu and the local officials is very good, so no one boarded the ship to inspect, and Lan Yue and Shen Chaixing easily entered the city.

The two resigned to the rich sixth, because of the current identity of the blue moon, the rich sixth could not be saved, but when they left, they gave a lot of silver taels.

The two of them had enough silver in their hands, and they saw that Taizhou City was different, and there was a unique cultural temperament and characteristics of the water city, and they just regarded the treasure hunt as a game, so they visited it unhurriedly.

Taizhou Western Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty called Haiyang, the Han Dynasty called Hailing, the Southern Tang Dynasty called Taizhou, take the meaning of "Guotai Min'an". Since ancient times, Taizhou is the water and land from the south to the north, the gateway to the Soviet Union and China, and was under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture at that time. The river network in the territory is dense, criss-cross and intertwined, the Jianghuai watershed passes through the central part of Taizhou, the south is the Yangtze River water system, the local people call it "Shanghe", the north is the Huai River water system, the local people call it "Xiahe".

The two found an inn to live in first, Lan Yue wanted to inquire about the situation of the nearby Taoist temple, but Shen Chaixing was "eating" a lot, and if he had to eat enough, Lan Yue could only follow him, the two found a time-honored restaurant and ate the signature dish "Yangtze River Three Fresh", Shen Chaixing was satisfied.

After the two of them were full of wine and food, they went to several Taoist temples according to the introduction of the locals, and the two of them came to the door one by one, checking the clues as pilgrims, but none of them worshiped the Emperor Xuanwu, and from the eyes of the blue moon, it seemed that there was no mechanism, so it had absolutely nothing to do with the treasure of King Wu.

Shen Chaixing began to suspect that his judgment was wrong, and he was a little depressed, Lan Yue comforted: "Since you regard treasure hunting as a game, how can the game be easy, if you know it at a glance, then what kind of treasure is it?" ”

When Shen Chaixing heard this, he regained his confidence and said, "You're right, but where to start now?"

Lan Yue smiled: "It's your treasure, you have to use your brain, I'm just helping you." ”

Shen Chaixing said: "I provide clues and jade pendants, you are responsible for using your brains, and we will work together." ”

Blue Moon analyzed: "Treasure is an unusual thing, so it should also be considered from the unusual. It's about finding something that's different from what is normal, like something more or something missing. ”

Shen Chaixing said: "Almost all of the Taoist temples we went to have similar layouts, the gods and goddesses worshipped are similar, and the Taoist priests are also similar - none of them are women. Neither more nor less. ”

Lan Yue asked, "That's because there are few families, so you can't see it." Don't you think it's strange? It's normal for one family not to worship Emperor Zhenwu, and these several Taoist temples don't worship them, isn't it abnormal?"

Shen Chaixing slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon! It's just that let's go and ask these Taoist priests why they don't worship the Zhenwu Emperor, what do you think they will think of us, will they beat us out?"

Lan Yue smiled: "Don't be sneering, you go and ask, people will definitely beat you out." I'll just go. ”

Shen Chaixing also smiled: "I don't believe it! If it's really as you said, I won't eat tonight!"

Lan Yue listened, didn't say much, and made a gesture to follow me. The two came to a larger Taoist temple just now, Lan Yue claimed to be a friend of Xi Yingzhen and Yunding Zhenren, and asked to see the master of the sect on important matters, and the Taoist priest who received it saw that Lan Shen and the two of them were extraordinary, and hurriedly brought the two into the inner room to wait, and the time was not long, a thin Taoist in his fifties walked in, and after saluting the two, he asked: "Poor Dao Yunhe, Yunding is my senior brother, I don't know what to call the two?"

Lan Yue didn't answer, secretly lucked Jin Dan's true qi, and suddenly her eyes flashed with golden light.

Yun He was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly saluted again: "Poor Dao didn't know that it was the Jindan Dharma Protector who came, and I missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness!" and asked, "How is Master Xi?"

Lan Yue replied, "Elder Xi Ying is still in retreat in Xiangcheng Lingying Meditation. ”

Yunhe hurriedly invited the two of them to the teaching room to drink tea and entertain them. Shen Chaixing was secretly surprised in his heart, and thought to himself: "My God! Could it be that this Blue Moon is actually a Taoist priest? Originally, he was a Hou Ye, but now he is a Taoist priest, and he will become a monk again one day!"

After the polite words were finished, Lan Yue entered the topic and asked Yunhe: "I looked at a few Taoist temples in Taizhou, and found that none of them were dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu.

That Yunhe sighed and said, "You are the protector of the Dao Gate, and your status is noble, so I should tell the truth." In the early years, when Wu Wangshicheng raised an army against the Yuan, he swore a blood oath in the Arctic Zhenwu Palace, and once claimed to be the incarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor after raising the army, so the people corresponded, and it became a big event. Later, under Zhu Mingxia, the current emperor was deeply jealous, and the Taizhou Taoist Temple was to avoid suspicion, so he did not worship the statue of the Zhenwu Emperor, but only worshiped in his heart. ”

Lan Yue asked again: "So it turns out that there is indeed a Zhenwu Great Emperor Palace, so King Wu can raise troops there, I don't know where that palace is now?"

Yunhe said: "What are you asking about the place where King Wu got into trouble? It is called the North Pole Palace, which is not in Taizhou City, so to the east, near the seaside, there is a place called 'Caoyan Field', where there is a North Pole Palace, and the one who was enshrined in the early years was the Emperor Zhenwu." ”

Lan Yue asked again, "What's going on there, is that hall still there?"

Yunhe replied: "That place is still there, but it was originally close to the sea, sparsely populated, and in recent years it has been deserted, and recently I have heard from the pilgrims who came over there that this area is not only deserted, but also haunted every day, so that no one dares to go." ”

Lan Yue had already inquired about the inside story, so she got up and said goodbye, but Yunhe couldn't keep it, so she had to send it all the way outside the gate.

The two left the Taoist temple, returned to the inn where they lived, and after a simple wash and rest, it was already the time to hold the lamp, Lan Yue went out to eat, Shen Chaixing also followed behind, Lan Yue deliberately asked, "Why are you coming here without dinner?"

Shen Chaixing smirked and didn't speak. After the two sat down, Lan Yue ordered the family's special boiled dried shreds and crab roe buns, only Shen Chaixing was greedy, Lan Yue smiled and invited him to eat some, and said: "Forget it this time, don't take it as an example." You can bet whatever you want in the future, but don't gamble on food. Shen Chaixing had been waiting for this for a long time, and suddenly ate it cheekily.
