That night, everyone ate lotus root, red ling, cocoon white, fish and shrimp obtained by their own labor, which was particularly sweet. Li Cunxiao said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, we have been coming to Runzhou for some days, do you still remember that when we were leaving, Zhixin Zen Master and Lingkong Daoist asked us to find "Tui Bei Tu" in Runzhou as soon as possible to save the world!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Xu Zhi had been playing around with Luo Suying in the past few days, and was afraid that he would forget his responsibilities, so he persuaded: "Brother Xu, what Cunxiao said is that we must find out the secret in "Tui Bei Tu" before Yun Feiyang and others, and we will also go to Jiang Mountain to avenge Grandpa Wang and take back "Hidden Head Poem"!"

Xu Zhi sighed: "This Runzhou is not big, it is not small, I think that Yun Feiyang and Huangwang searched almost every inch of land in Runzhou, but they couldn't find it, where do we start?"

He Mengjiao also persuaded: "Big brother, don't be discouraged, do you still remember the chance that Daoist Ling Kong and Grandpa Wang told you? "Tui Bei Tu" is a strange book in the world, everyone in the world wants to possess it, and it is also looking for a suitable owner, maybe this strange book can be met by us. ”

Xu Zhi suddenly remembered that Uncle Luo had given himself a phoenix-patterned jade pendant before he died, and he smiled: "Yuan Zhi, eldest brother has an idea, since we have found Sister Suying, there should be a dragon-patterned jade pendant on her body, and you have a phoenix-patterned jade pendant, let's take out this pair of jade pendants, take a closer look, maybe there will be clues!"

Luo Su Yingqi said: "Brother Xu, how do you know that I have a dragon pattern jade pendant on my body?", Xu Zhi had to tell the Xu and Luo families about the exchange of jade pendants back then.

When Luo Suying heard that this pair of jade pendants was originally the marriage of the Xu and Luo families, she blushed and took out the dragon pattern jade pendant wrapped tightly in an embroidered handkerchief, and at this time, Zhou Yuanzhi also took out the phoenix pattern jade pendant that she was wearing tightly.

Xu Zhi took the two jade pendants, put them lightly on the table, everyone leaned over, followed the oil lamp, carefully looked at the pair of jade pendants, only to see that the two jade pendants were white and flawless, a dragon and a phoenix, they were born a pair, but they were chiseled into two strange shapes that were round at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Gao Xiaohui said: "Brother Xu, sisters, this pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants is just the ancestral heirloom of the Xu and Luo families, will they be related to the palace book "Tui Bei Tu"?"

Li Cunxiao also reminded: "Brother Xu, Sister Xiaohui means that we are thinking too much, this jade pendant has nothing to do with Qishu!"

At this time, Luo Suying opened the back of the pair of jade pendants and exclaimed in surprise: "Big brother, look, what about the small characters engraved on the back of this dragon and phoenix jade pendant?"

Xu Zhi saw that the dragon wind jade pendant was engraved on the back of the four vague small characters: "Shouzang" and "*Bao", but the third word was too vague for everyone to distinguish clearly.

Zhou Yuanzhi took the two jade pendants in her hands, chanted the words on them repeatedly, and suddenly found something, and shouted: "Brother Xu, I understand, these four words should be pronounced like this: Shou * Hidden Treasure!"

Xu Zhi listened, in front of everyone, grabbed Zhou Yuanzhi's hand, and said excitedly: "Yuanzhi, you are so smart, this big secret is about to be revealed, it must be that the owner of these two jade pendants is afraid of leaking the secret, so he deliberately separates a pair of jade pendants, and each jade pendant contains a word that implies the location of the treasure, as long as we figure out what the second word is, we can find the location of the treasure!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said again: "Brother Xu, do you remember that poem?"

Xu Zhi replied: "Yuan Zhi, what you said is: the world has been in conflict for thousands of years, the strange book fragments are the world's swords, the snake shooter has become a hegemony, and the purple qi has come to the east into the clouds. These four sentences?"

Zhou Yuanzhi said with a smile: "I have heard you say these four sentences, my father said it, it seems that Li Xiuyun, Yun Feiyang, and Zhou Chen also know it, which means that these four sentences are likely to be the clues to crack the secret of "Tui Bei Tu"! We are people, everyone thinks, maybe we can brainstorm and know where "Tui Bei Tu" is hidden!"

He Mengjiao silently recited these four sentences and analyzed: "The first two sentences seem to say that the strange book "Tui Bei Tu" is a sharp sword to seize the world, and the latter words are more difficult to understand!"

Luo Suying also interjected: "This third sentence is obviously a story! Who will be the snake shooting hero?"

Li Cunxiao interrupted: "I only heard my grandfather say: The story of the Han King Liu Bang's beheading of the White Snake Uprising, how could anyone shoot the snake and become a great hero? Could this poem be passed on incorrectly?"

Xu Zhi saw Gao Xiaohui silently reciting something in his mouth, and asked, "Xiaohui, what have you thought of, why don't you speak?"

Gao Xiaohui thought for a while, and then said: "I accompanied my grandfather to hear such a drama, but I can't remember it for a while, it seems that there was such a hero in ancient times, in our Runzhou overseas residence, he lost his father since he was a child, in order to support his stepmother, he was chopping wood and hunting by the river, and met a green snake blocking the way. The hero was fearless, bent his bow and shot arrows, killed the green snake, and later joined the army to serve the country, and he rose to prominence until he became the emperor!"

Zhou Yuanzhi asked in surprise: "Sister Xiaohui, are you sure you are not mistaken, which hero shot a snake and rebelled and finally became the emperor?"

Gao Xiaohui nodded and said, "Sister Zhou, there should be nothing wrong with this, many people in our village have heard such dramas, and they shouldn't be wrong!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, then it won't be wrong, the third line of the poem 'Shooting the snake is the first to become a hegemon' must be said to be the emperor's great deeds, as long as we consult the historical data, we must know who the founding emperor of the snake shooting is and what does it have to do with the longevity character in the jade pendant?"

Xu Zhizan said: "Yuan Zhi, what you said makes sense, we have to go to the Zenghua Pavilion in the southern suburbs of Runzhou, where is the royal library, there should be historical materials of the past dynasties, but if we want to go in, I am afraid that we will have to take the road of a gentleman on the beam!"

Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "As long as we can get clues, what can we do as a robber?"

That night, Xu Zhi let the others rest first, he led Zhou Yuanzhi, changed into night clothes, went all the way south, walked the kung fu of three pillars of incense, and finally walked into the south mountain of Runzhou, this Zenghua Pavilion was originally the reading platform of Prince Zhaoming of Xiaoliang in Runzhou, Prince Zhaoming had gathered literati here, and wrote the world-famous "Zhaoming Anthology". Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, there are a large number of classics of the Southern Dynasty in the Runzhou Zenghua Pavilion, which was opened by the royal family as the imperial study, and the idle people can not enter, but the social atmosphere at the end of the Tang Dynasty is very bad, and the Zenghua Pavilion has also become a place for thieves to patronize and hide, and the government is also turning a blind eye to this, and it is better to have more than one thing.

Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi took advantage of the moonlight to climb over the high wall of Zenghua Pavilion, and saw that there were only a few changfu in the huge pavilion who were beating gongs back and forth, the two bypassed the guards, flew up to the attic, sneaked into the study, lit a candle, and looked for the local chronicles of Runzhou one by one by the faint light of the fire. The two went from Qin to Han, to the Three Kingdoms, and then to the Two Jins, but they didn't find any useful clues.

Zhou Yuanzhi put down the classics and said a little discouragedly: "Could it be that Sister Xiaohui is mistaken, this snake shooting hero is not from Runzhou?"

Xu Zhi picked up a copy of the "Book of Song" written by Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasty and replied: "Xiaohui should not be mistaken, this snake shooting hero should be a founding emperor, so we start from the history books, it should be more effective than checking local chronicles!"

Zhou Yuanzhi snorted, and also picked up a copy of the "Book of Nanqi" to check, just read a few pages, and suddenly heard Xu Zhi excitedly said: "Yuanzhi, I found it, you come and see, this "Book of Song" clearly records Emperor Gaozuwu's Yuyu, the word Deyu, and the nickname Jinu...... , living in the Jingkou of Dantu County, Jinling County, the family is poor, has great ambitions, and does not govern the incorruptible. The stepmother is called filial piety!"

Xu Zhi said: "Which snake shooting hero Gao Xiaohui is talking about should refer to Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Then let's find out if there are any place names with the word longevity in the history books!"

Xu and Zhou consulted many historical materials, and only then did they know: it turned out that after Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, he did not forget the hardships and hardships of his youth, and collected the farm tools he produced and placed them in the Tibetan Zhai in Shouqiu Mountain in Runzhou.

Xu Zhichao Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "There are relics of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty in Runzhou City? I have never heard anyone mention it, this must be Shouqiu Mountain, Tibetan Zhai is very old, has long been destroyed, and is not known to future generations!"

Zhou Yuanzhi consulted the local chronicles of ancient Runzhou, only to know: this Shouqiu Mountain is just an unknown hill in the south of Runzhou City, located on the edge of the canal, on the west side of the tiger bridge, and there was originally a Tibetan Zhai at the top of the mountain. Due to the continuous wars and disrepair in the south of the Yangtze River after the death of Liu Song, this Tibetan Zhai has long been submerged in the barren grass and miscellaneous trees. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, this Shouqiu Mountain, where Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty started, was not mentioned and no one knew.

Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi found out the location of the Tibetan Zhai in Shouqiu Mountain, rushed home overnight, and told everyone what they had gained in the evening, and everyone was very excited when they heard it, and discussed going to Shouqiu Mountain in the south of the city tomorrow night.

Early the next morning, Luo Suying was about to take down the signboard of the "blacksmith shop" in front of the house, Xu Zhi was puzzled: "This signboard has been hanging under this eaves for more than ten years since my father, why did my sister take it down?"

Luo Suying replied: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, Suying has been amnesiac for a long time, and she can return to her home because of the vague memory of this signboard." Now that we're all out, and there's no one at home to take care of it, let's take down the signboard, better!"

Xu Zhi heard Luo Suying speak like this, knowing that she cherished the good memories she had with herself, so she hurriedly helped her take down the gold-lettered signboard, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's take it for the time being, and when we come back, we will hang it up for my sister!", Luo Suying blushed and nodded.

In the evening, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others just walked along the canal full of weeping willows all the way to the south, and were about to cross the tiger bridge on the canal, only to see a leper Taoist sitting on the tiger bridge, the Taoist was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, unkempt, with his chest and arms exposed, and a "fortune telling" signboard was placed beside him. When the passers-by saw it, they all scoffed and avoided him to cross the bridge.

Li Cunxiao saw that the railings on both sides of the bridge were carved with tigers of different shapes, and while watching, he beckoned Xu Zhi and others to come and see, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and he tripped over the leper Taoist.

Li Cunxiao saw that the Taoist had a hideous face, not like a good person, and scolded, "Where did the ugly Taoist come from, who doesn't take advantage of the shade of the trees on a hot day, and runs on this bridge to block people's roads?"

The man replied: "You young man is so unreasonable, just now you accidentally tripped over my leg and fell, but you relied on me, besides, this tiger bridge is an official road, and it is not your field, how can you not let the poor road sit on the ground?"

Li Cunxiao was unhappy because he broke his knee, and he was robbed of a few words by this Taoist priest, and said angrily: "Who saw it? I fell down myself? I'm not a three-year-old child, you don't have to break it with your feet, how can I get on my head?", after speaking, he flew up and kicked off the signboard of "fortune telling" next to the Taoist chief.

Xu Zhi saw that Li Cunxiao had an argument with a Taoist priest, and hurriedly persuaded: "Cunxiao, he is just a monk, and it is not easy to make a living, we don't have to pay him compensation, even if it is reasonable, don't make it too difficult for him!", after speaking, he took out some copper coins from his bag and handed them to the Taoist person.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist waved his hand at Xu Zhi and did not accept the copper coin in his hand.

Li Cunxiao listened to Xu Zhi's persuasion, and saw that the Taoist was very arrogant, and his heart was very unhappy, so he complained to Xu Zhi: "Obviously, this Taoist tripped over me, and he reasoned with me, I am just unhappy in my heart!"

Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao and others came over and persuaded Li Cunxiao a lot, and Li Cunxiao felt better.

Who knew that the man shook his head and said: "This little brother is an excellent fate, in the future, the king will accompany him, set the country, stand alone, and become famous in the world, but because of this fiery temper, it will still hurt him in the end!"

Li Cunxiao looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "People's fate has its own destiny, if it can be changed by you warlocks, then wouldn't everyone be a general, and everyone can be rich and noble?

The Taoist chief listened to Li Cunxiao's words, and sighed: "Alas, if it is too prosperous, people will be far away, and if it is too strong, it will be easy to break, this is the will of heaven!"

The Taoist chief glanced at Xu Zhi, and said: "This brother is honest, rigid and soft, and he will definitely be able to start and finish well, but his character is too modest, and only God can have great achievements if he has mercy on the opportunity, otherwise it will be a dull life!"

Xu Zhi bowed down and replied: "Thank you for the golden and jade words of the Taoist chief, Xu Mou's life is at peace with the encounter, and he has no ambition and ambition to make contributions, if he can start and finish well, it is enough to have a dull life!"

Seeing that Xu Zhi was very modest, the Taoist nodded at him with a smile, and then persuaded: "The secret scroll of the strange book is just a passing cloud, what is the luck to gain, and why is it sad to lose it? Whether the world can be truly peaceful will have to wait for dozens of years!"

Xu Zhi saw that the words of the Taoist were mysterious, and hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Please also ask the Taoist to teach you!"

The man did not answer, but stood up sharply, laughed wildly, and then limped off the bridge with a limp and a cane.

Everyone saw that the Taoist who told the fortune went away, and also crossed the Huju Bridge, turned west, and went out of Runzhou City, and walked not far away is a desolate cemetery, the cemetery is full of tall artemisia grass, and there are green ghost fires floating everywhere in the air, obviously the owners of these tombs are some lonely ghosts who have no relatives.

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi, Luo Suying, He Mengjiao, and Gao Xiaohui were all a little scared, and hurriedly asked Li Cunxiao to hold a sword to protect him at the back, and then said with a smile: "There are no ghosts and monsters in this world, it's just to scare yourself!"

Gao Xiaohui still couldn't let go of her fear, and said tremblingly: "Brother Xu, who said that there are no ghosts in this world, you see that a phosphorus fire floating in the air is a soul, a person is dead, but his soul has not gone far, they are all looking for people who are dying in the world, reincarnated?"

Luo Suying listened to Gao Xiaohui's strange talk, and was also frightened, and said: "What Xiaohui said is that the souls of good people go to heaven, but after death, bad people will be sent to eighteen layers of hell to suffer, and they will never be able to turn over!"

He Mengjiao pulled out her long sword violently and comforted: "Sister Luo, Sister Xiaohui, you don't have to be afraid, if there is really an evil ghost in the way in this world, Mengjiao will have to compete with it at the cost of her life, even if she dies, she will not let him go if she is a ghost!", Luo and Gao saw He Mengjiao's arrogance, and their hearts were also relieved.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, Xu Zhi carried the lantern, led everyone through the cemetery, and came to a mound, Xu Zhi knew that this was the Shouqiu Mountain where Liu Yu lived and made his career. Everyone saw that Nashouqiu Mountain was about three zhang high, and the entire hillside was intertwined with trees and artemisia grass, and there was not even a single uphill path.

Xu Zhi swung his sword to cut off the branches that blocked the road, cut off the kneeless grass, and opened a way up the mountain for everyone. It took nearly a pillar of incense for everyone to climb to the top of the mountain, and saw that in the depths of the grass on the top of the mountain, there was a study that was about to collapse, which was exactly what the ancient books said, and Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty collected the agricultural tools before the development of the Tibetan Zhai.

Xu Zhi pushed open the door of the Tibetan Zhai, and suddenly startled a group of bats flying around, Xu Zhi waited for the bats to fly away, and then led everyone into the Tibetan Zhai and checked the situation in the house.
