Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tomb Robbers
It's been some time since they left Weiwu Town, but there is news from the south that the county lord is missing, and the red-robed army is looking for people all over the world. Thinking about it, it was indeed Li Mu who had taken care of everything before leaving. Chu Feng and Xu Ming were also a little relieved, and in broad daylight, everyone dared to walk on the official road openly.
After all, Bai Qishu was a weak girl, and she didn't cultivate, so they had to hire a carriage and walk slowly towards the imperial capital. At this rate, they should still be able to reach the imperial capital in winter.
The tension of the Great Liang country cannot be seen from the people in various towns, and the major affairs of these upper-class bigwigs have nothing to do with the ordinary people.
The late autumn wind is crisp and cold, like refrigerated sake. The trees beside the official road were bare, revealing hideous branches.
Along the way, they also passed through the territory of many immortal cultivation sects, but these sects didn't seem to care about the state of Liangguo, and the monks also lived like mortals.
In the evening of this day, the group finally arrived at Dragon City, the largest city in the central part of the Liang Kingdom. After Dragon City, the imperial capital is not far away. They found an inn to stay in.
Dragon City is said to be the place where Emperor Wu of Wei raised his army. Later, Emperor Wu of Wei led his troops all the way to the south and occupied the vast area from Longcheng in the north to Jinling in the south, which was very prosperous for a while. It was not until he died of illness in the saddle that Wei stopped the pace of expansion. Emperor Wu of Wei fought until his death.
It's a pity that the invincible Emperor Wu of Wei neglected the education of his sons, and the successor Emperor Wen was able to defend it, while Emperor Huai after Emperor Wen was even more ambitious and had no talent, and was finally defeated by the rising stars Jingguo and Liangguo, and the territory was also divided. The great Wei that was at its peak for a time died in the third generation, which is embarrassing.
And Dragon City is said to be the burial place of Emperor Wu of Wei. Emperor Wu of Wei, who had fought all his life, decided to return to his hometown at the last moment, and he left a will to bury himself in Dragon City.
The strength of Emperor Wu of Wei is not clearly recorded in the history books, and because of the long age, there are different opinions on all kinds of wild histories and aspirations, from Jiedan to Turbidity Immortal, there are all kinds of things. The cultivation of Emperor Wu of Wei, which is now generally recognized, is roughly between returning to the void and returning to the Tao.
A generation of emperors, and a strong man above the realm of returning to the void, must have a lot of exercises in his tomb. Tomb robbers have been trying their luck in Dragon City for thousands of years, but without exception, they have all failed. Where Emperor Wei Wu was buried after his death has become a mystery.
"So, there have been a lot of tomb robbers in this Dragon City?" Xu Ming asked, looking at the storyteller in front of him.
The storyteller was an old man with a white beard and white hair, but his spirit was extraordinarily strong, and the old man smiled and said: "The tomb robbers have indeed come, but whether they are here to find the tomb of Emperor Wu is unknown." ”
Chu Feng took over the conversation: "According to what you say, have you ever seen a tomb robber?"
The old man's eyes on Shang Chu Feng were not panicked at all. He smiled and said, "The tomb robbers have indeed seen it, they look honest, and they don't look like people who do this kind of thing of licking blood with the tip of a knife. ”
"The tomb robbers you have seen, are they here to find the tomb of Emperor Wu?" asked Xu Ming curiously.
"Guest, you've already asked a question, and you'll need a penny to ask again. The old man smiled and stretched out his palm towards Xu Ming, "Little old man has been traveling north and south for so many years, until there are many unknown secrets. As long as you have a penny, you can ask whatever you want. ”
Although this old man was a storyteller, he made money in a very strange way, and he didn't need to pay for his books, but if he asked him a question, he had to collect the money from the second question.
Xu Ming glared at the old man, took out a piece of silver from his arms, and put it on the palm of the old man's hand.
The old man instantly smiled and said: "They did come to find the tomb of Emperor Wu, but unfortunately they didn't find it later, and they didn't open their eyes to rob the ancestral tomb of the Yun family, and they were caught by the Yun family, and they slaughtered the city and hung it for two days. ”
The Yun family, the number one family in Dragon City, was so violent, which really scared Xu Ming a lot.
"You say you know a lot of secrets. Chu Feng also took out a large piece of silver and put it in the old man's hand, "I want to ask some about the imperial capital, I don't know if you know clearly." ”
The old man took the silver, bit it with his teeth first, and then ran to Chu Feng's side with a flattering face, and said with a smile: "What do you want to ask, guest officer, the little old man must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
"What is the current situation in the imperial capital, will there be any detention of the people and monks passing by?" Chu Feng asked.
"That's not going to happen, Zheng Xiujie still understands the rules, although it's only a matter of time before he rebels, but at least for now, he still doesn't seem to have any problems. ”
Chu Feng nodded and continued to ask, "Then what is the current situation of Wei Guogong Li Mu?"
When asking this question, Li Yu'an and Li Yihuan were also excited, staring at the old man with two pairs of beautiful big eyes.
"Wei Guogong. The old man touched his chin and plucked out his ears again, "Currently under house arrest in the northwest of the imperial capital, in one of Zheng Xiujie's own villas, there are two masters who have returned to the virtual realm to monitor him. Everything else is fine, but there is no freedom at the moment. Probably when this thing is over, it will be released. After all, Wei Guogong's prestige was too great, and Zheng Xiujie did not dare to risk the world's condemnation and put Guogong to death. ”
Hearing that their father was fine, the two daughters calmed down.
Chu Feng asked some more questions about the current situation in the imperial capital, and the little old man also answered them fluently, and even said that Emperor Guangwu's concubine was cheating, as if she had just come out of the imperial capital palace. For a while, it was a little difficult to tell whether what he said was true or false.
"This lord looks like he is going to the imperial capital, right?" The old man saw that Chu Feng actually asked some questions about the situation in the imperial capital and Liangguo, and said to Chu Feng with a smile: "Why don't you let the little old man count a few hexagrams and see the good luck and evil of your trip?" ”
Xu Ming looked at the old man and raised his eyebrows: "Yo, you can also tell hexagrams?"
The old man accompanied the smiling face: "I understand a little, after all, walking in the rivers and lakes, I don't have a lot of skills!"
"Okay, you do the math. Xu Ming threw him a piece of silver weighing five taels.
"Atmosphere, this lord, you are a rich and noble man!" the old man got the silver and flattered him.
Xu Ming scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't be poor, count it quickly!"
The old man took out the tortoiseshell hexagram from his baggage and tinkered with it for a while. Then he frowned and said, "The hexagram shows that the four of you are in danger here, but you are ......."
"Just what?" Xu Ming asked.
"It's just that the rest can't be calculated, and the heavens are blinded, and I don't dare to calculate deeply. The old man shook his head and put away the tortoise shell and the hexagram stick.
Xu Ming was unhappy and felt cheated: "You are not professional, you are not as accurate as I am." If you want to fool us if you are in danger?"
The old man was very helpless: "This master, you know, you don't dare to count all the hexagrams, and you are afraid of the impermanence of heaven!"
The old man arched his hand, and without caring about Xu Ming, he walked out of the inn.
