17 Tianshan Mo

It is said that the "Nine Dragons King" of the Xiangjun was the first to advocate the banner of righteousness on the bank of the Yellow River, which opened the prelude to the troubled times, but Xie Yixiang knew a little about it. At that time, the emperor, Li Jiusi and Zhang Chuwu and others, because the "Nine Dragon King" claimed to be the royal blood of the Southern Song Dynasty, were once subordinate to the Xiang Army, which led to the later "Nine Dragon King" ascending the throne and becoming the Han emperor who opposed the previous regime. Later, the "Nine Dragons King" was defeated and died, and only a six-year-old child inherited the throne under his knees. However, after this battle, the Xiang army actually existed in name only.

Later, the emperor defeated Li Jiusi in Poyang Lake, so he sent people to ask the "little dragon king" to move to Jinling City, but the boat of the "little dragon king" was unfortunately shipwrecked and sank on the way, and no one in the entire fleet was spared. Afterwards, there were many rumors that the murder of the "Little Dragon King" was set up by the emperor, and if he had not done so, where would the lord of the world get the current emperor? I don't know if the truth is really the case, and later, whether it was the "Little Dragon King" or the Xiangjun of the year, it gradually became a taboo in this dynasty, and no one dared to mention this matter again, so it is now almost completely forgotten by the world.

And the implication of Ning Cui's words is clearly that the Zhao Xiaoling who was imprisoned here by the Mo family was the "Little Dragon King" of the Xiangjun back then? Xie Yixiang calculated in his heart that the "Little Dragon King" ascended the throne at the age of six, and if he had not drowned in Jiangzhong at that time, he would have been twenty-five or sixteen years old by now, which was consistent with Zhao Xiaoling. Because Zhao Xiaoling has been imprisoned here for more than ten years, and even his mind is still in his teens, he looks young, as if he is only in his twenties.

At the moment, Ning Cui continued: "The rebel armies of all walks of life who rebelled against the alien races of the previous dynasty back then, although they nominally unanimously worshipped the 'Nine Dragons King' as the emperor, in fact, they all harbored ghosts and deceived themselves. In order to weaken the power of Li Jiusi, Zhang Chuwu and others, the current emperor held the banner of returning the rivers and mountains of the Han people on the one hand, and secretly accepted the rewards of the foreign races of the previous dynasty, and was ordered to hold the troops by the order of the previous dynasty, which led to the fiasco of the Xiang army. When the 'Little Dragon King' succeeded to the throne, the current emperor was worried that the identity of the descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family of the 'Little Dragon King' was the desire of the people because he was born in cloth, so he pretended to invite the 'Little Dragon King' - which is now Zhao Xiaoling - to Jinling, and sent someone to scuttle his boat halfway. At that time, fortunately, the Tianshan Mo family made a secret move, and finally saved Xiao Ling's life, and they were worried that someone would use his identity as the 'Little Dragon King' to deceive and cause trouble in the world, so for more than ten years, they have been imprisoning Xiao Ling here, and they dare not reveal the slightest rumor to the outside world. ”

Xie Yixiang was surprised when she heard this, Ning Cui's remarks clearly confirmed the conspiracy theories of the world against the current emperor. If you look at it this way, the whole thing makes sense. She couldn't help but mutter: "The so-called 'Tianshan Falling Dragon' refers to the 'Little Dragon King' of the Xiangjun back then? So the saying 'you can get the world' refers to Zhao Xiaoling's special identity?"

Ning Cui said with a smile: "Yes, the 'Little Dragon King' is the rightful emperor of the Han people, if it wasn't for the accident back then, where would the Han people get the current emperor? As for the details of this, I also heard it from that person, even the strange cases that led you to the Tianshan Mountains along the way are actually what I know from him, otherwise how can I know about the dirty things about the 'dust hermitage' of Mount Emei and the beggars helping Lanzhou rudder?"

When Xie Yixiang heard Yan Sidao's name, she couldn't help but jump her eyebrows, and said, "So Yan Sidao also wants to find Zhao Xiaoling, just to use his identity as a 'Little Dragon King' to do something unseemly?" Ning Cui smiled: "You have also seen that although Xiao Ling is twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, he is still an innocent child because he has been imprisoned in this cave since he was twelve years old. It is conceivable that if Xiao Ling falls into the hands of that person, he will definitely be at his mercy, so I must find Xiao Ling first no matter what, and I must not let that person succeed. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain, and couldn't help but sneer: "What's not just 'finding'? I'm afraid it's just 'getting'." For this reason, you do not hesitate to commit yourself to Zhao Xiaoling, just to let this 'Little Dragon King' obey you, and from now on you will be at your mercy!"

Unexpectedly, Ning Cui sighed faintly, and said with a faint smile: "If a woman can't stay with the person she likes, then she can only choose a person with the best conditions." Zhao Xiaoling is a descendant of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, and is the world-famous 'Little Dragon King', plus his age matches me, of course, it is my best choice. Now that my sister already knows the identity and origin of Xiao Ling, if she changes her mind and is willing to marry Xiao Ling with me, it will not be too late. ”

Xie Yixiang's face suddenly changed greatly, and she said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" Ning Cui smiled slightly, then put away his smile, and said: "I don't know if my sister still remembers, Xiao Ling once said that people from the Mo family would come every two months to send him some ingredients and daily necessities. Now that it's winter, it's time for the people who came to the Mo family to come, most of them in the past few days. At that time, as long as the people of the Mo family open the secret door on the rock wall, you and I will work together to grab the door and break out with Xiaoling. That's what I've come to you to discuss today. ”

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and quickly cheered up and asked, "How many people are stationed here?" This time, it was Ning Cui's turn to be stunned, and said, "How many people?" Of course, all of them. She saw that Xie Yixiang didn't seem to understand, and then smiled: "So far, hasn't my sister figured it out? The information skills in this 'Suli Tang Peak' are unparalleled in the world, could it be that you have never doubted it from beginning to end? You must know that the so-called 'Tianshan Mo Family' is naturally located in the Tianshan Mountains, and the 'Suli Tang Peak' where you and I are at the moment is the base camp of the Mo family. ”

It turns out that the so-called "Suli Tang Peak" is just the name of the people nearby, and the real name is actually "Mota". Because this whole mountain peak is not naturally formed, but completely built by manpower, it is the Mo ancestors thousands of years ago who exhausted more than ten generations to build this peak in the northern vein of Tianshan Mountain. Because there are many hollows in the entire peak, just like the cave now, as well as the "Trap Dragon" crypt and stone staircase walkway that the three of them passed through before, the entire mountain peak can also be said to be a huge "tower", but the appearance is deliberately made like a natural mountain, and after thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, there is no trace of artificiality.

Thousands of years ago, when the ink artists designed this "ink tower", in order to prevent outsiders from climbing along the mountain wall, the four walls are almost vertical rock walls. When the construction is completed, the entrance passage of this artificial mountain will be filled in, and if the people of the Mo family want to enter and exit it, they can only lower a basket-like bucket from the top of the mountain, let people stand in the bucket, and pull it up by the machine spring. In this way, the entire ink tower is completely isolated from the world, and no outsiders can enter or exit, even if it is discovered by outsiders, it is impossible to attack it, which is also the world-famous "ink guardian".

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have misfortunes and fortunes, although this ink tower is impregnable, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of disaster and depression. Therefore, the predecessors of the Mo family who designed the Mo Tower back then finally left a secret passage down the mountain, so that the descendants of the Mo family could escape from this secret passage when they encountered danger. Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi saw the "wax corpse" in the tomb at the entrance of the secret passage before, most of them were one of the ancestors of the Mo family who built the Mo Pagoda in the past, because of the unique climate of the northern veins of the Tianshan Mountains, which could keep the corpse from decaying, and the crawling monsters encountered in the "Trap Dragon" crypt may be the descendants of the craftsmen who built the Ink Pagoda back then, which is in line with Shang Buqi's speculation of "mutation".

As for the existence of this secret passage, in addition to the successive giants of the Mo family, even the disciples under the seat did not know, but they didn't know how to be heard by Yan Sidao, and they also found out that the exit of this secret passage was at the foot of the mountain west of the Mo Tower, so they made a plan to find out this secret passage by relying on the "no talent and no virtue" of Dongting Lake, so as to sneak into this Mo Tower and secretly capture Zhao Xiaoling, who was imprisoned by the Mo family.

Who knew that after Ning Cui learned of Yan Sidao's entire plan, he took advantage of his trip to Mobei to make a gambling contract with Shang Buqi first, and used Shang Buqi to find the entrance to the secret passage for her, and also put down the "Broken Dragon Stone" in the tunnel, completely sealing the entire secret passage. In this way, Mo said that Yan Sidao and Zeng Wuxi found the entrance to the secret passage, even if Mo Hanshan, the head of the Mo family, came in person, there was no way to open the fallen "Broken Dragon Stone" mechanism, and this secret passage for the descendants of the Mo family to escape would be invalidated. If Sidao still wants to storm the ink tower from the outside to rescue Zhao Xiaoling, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, because the entire ink tower is as high as a hundred zhang, and the four walls are almost vertical cliffs, if there is no hanging bucket put down above, even the gods will not be able to climb.

After listening to Ning Cui's words, Xie Yixiang was so surprised that she couldn't speak. To say that this "Suli Tang Peak" is actually the "Mo Tower", the base camp of the Mo family in the Tianshan Mountains, with her wisdom, she should have guessed it a long time ago. However, these days, she was first immersed in the death of Shang Bu Die, and then she was disturbed by the affectionate actions of Ning Cui and Zhao Xiaoling, and then she was dedicated to cultivating the "Water Mirror Treasure Record" to deal with Ning Cui, how could she have the heart to think about the whole thing?

Unexpectedly, he was confused and involved in the gambling contract between Ning Cui and Shang Bu, and came all the way to the Western Regions from Shudi, and was led by Ning Cui from beginning to end. In the end, he actually threw himself into the net and imprisoned himself in the base camp of the Mo family in Tianshan!
