Ma Yangchen went back to the room to wash his face, went downstairs to eat something, drank a little wine, chatted with Shopkeeper Shi lightly, and then went upstairs, entered the room, plugged in the door, and sat down on the chair.

He allowed himself to relax as much as he could, and went over the beginning from the beginning.

He can be sure of a few things:

First, the Zhenguo Divine Beast has been in the hands of the Yasukuni Gong.

Then there are three possibilities:

A note may have been written by Xia Chan'er's aunt, which proves that Xia Chan'er lied to him in the early stage, and the index map is not a copy but a genuine handiwork.

The seller of the second index map is another person, at least in addition to Dugu Xun, Nangong Liuzhi, and himself, there is a fourth person who has seen the index map, or there is an identical index map that is now in the hands of Yasukuni Gong.

The role of the Three Zhenguo Divine Beasts is a big secret, so big that the Yasukuni Gong wants to hide it from him, and he didn't show up to tell him after getting the Zhenguo Divine Beast, so the mission of the Zhenguo Divine Beast is still not completed.

The second thing that can be determined is that there must be a mole in Rong Bao Zhai. The fact that Yasukuni was able to get the real index map and that Shen Wanshan was able to catch people at the first time proved this.

The third thing that can be determined is that Tan Sihai of Shangyang Palace knows his life experience. It is very likely that the person who killed him will be killed, and the biggest suspect is naturally Gao Lishi. If you want to trace your life experience, one is to find a needle in a haystack and find Gao Lishi, and the other is to start with the purple jade unicorn, according to Tan Sihai's story, your life experience should be related to the palace, if the purple jade unicorn is an object in the palace, you may be able to sort out the clue by following this clue.

In the end, it can be determined that Shen Wanshan must have a plan to sit in Lin'an. Rong Bao Zhai was actually charged with selling stolen goods, and there was definitely no big risk. Shen Wanshan's arrest should have been annoyed and angry because of the disappearance of the index map. If the little crab and the little turtle could put the words in prison, Nangong Liuzhi would definitely know how to deal with it.

Thinking like this, the drum sounded in the third watch. Ma Yangchen has hardly slept all night, but his mind is clear. Pushing the window into the distance, a full moon hung high in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkled all over the earth.

Today, February 15th, the agreement with Dugu Xun is today.

When he thought of Dugu Xun, Ma Yangchen's heart was sweet, as if he had eaten honey.

Should he wait, or continue to trace his life experience? Ma Yangchen thought about it again and again, and resolutely decided to continue waiting. Seeing that it was not yet dawn, Ma Yangchen walked to the side of the bed and lay down.

At this time, squinting for a while is the most correct choice.

At the end of the day, Ma Yangchen got up to wash, ate early, and inquired about the location of the Zhuji antique grocery store with the shopkeeper Shi, and left the Octagon Inn directly.

The antique grocery store and the Octagonal Inn are separated by two streets, and the shopkeeper is an old man of about sixty years old, surnamed Feng, with half-white hair and no wrinkles on his face.

Shopkeeper Feng played with Ma Yangchen's purple jade unicorn back and forth, and was surprised: "This guest officer, your object is a good thing, but I don't dare to accept it?"

Ma Yangchen said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Shopkeeper Feng is also a good talker, and said: "Purple jade corresponds to the eyebrow chakra, which can open the eyes of the sky." Purple jade unicorns are rare on the market, and they are mostly accessories for princes and nobles. If I'm not mistaken, this piece of jade of yours should be an object in the palace, and it is not something that ordinary people can carry. I won't tell you anything, don't talk about this piece of jade, even the century-old Juchun Pavilion will not dare to accept you. ”

Ma Yangchen was a little deflated, and continued to ask: "Haven't you heard of anything special about the Purple Jade Qilin?"

"I'll tell you. As he was talking, a person walked in from the outside, but it was Luo Guanguan, one of the four masters of Chu Hao.

Ma Yangchen was surprised: "Mr. Luo, why are you here?"

Luo Guanguan looked around and said, "Young Master Chen, come with me." ”

Ma Yangchen took the purple jade unicorn from the hands of the shopkeeper Feng, said goodbye, walked out of the antique shop with Luo Guanguan, and came to a house.

Ma Yangchen was about to inquire about the whereabouts of the Duke of Jingguo, but Luo Guanguan preemptively said: "I asked Xia Chan'er to send you a note privately, and the Duke of Jingguo and they are already on their way back to Lin'an." ”

Ma Yangchen replied: "Got it." But I don't know how to answer the next words.

Luo Guanguan didn't wait for Ma Yangchen to ask, and took the lead in saying: "If there is still one person in the world who knows the secret of the purple jade unicorn, it must be the old me." ”

Ma Yangchen said: "Then please ask Mr. Luo for guidance." ”

"Young Master Chen, you really asked. My hometown is Wuzhou, Zhejiang, but the ancestors are the former dynasty capital Luoyang City, listen to the older generation say that the former emperor Yang Guangneng greatly expanded the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, through to the capital Luoyang, making Luoyang the most prosperous and prosperous, it is said that the town of Nanyang Dushan purple jade carved the town of the country of the greatest merit. At that time, it was pressed under the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and the mountains and rivers were kept in peace. ”

After a pause, Luo Guanguan continued: "Nanyang Dushan Purple Jade has been completed for a thousand years, and after the Zhenguo Divine Beast Yinglong is carved, the remaining purple jade remnants have given birth to three pieces of Kuangshi Divine Jade, which are Purple Jade Jianma, Purple Jade Phoenix and Purple Jade Qilin. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Guanguan closed his mouth.

Ma Yangchen asked, "What happened to these three pieces of divine jade?"

Luo Guanguan was silent for a moment, and said: "The purple jade horse was obtained by Gaozu, established the Dahao Dynasty, set the capital of Chang'an, and opened a prosperous era. And the purple jade phoenix was obtained by the current queen Wu Cao, and the next step will be to move the capital to Luoyang, change the country name to Dayu, and [new day enthronement] is inevitable. The piece in your hand is the Purple Jade Qilin..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Guanguan knelt down with a thud.

Ma Yangchen was startled and hurriedly helped Mr. Luo to get up.

Luo Guanguan got up and saluted again, bowed down and said: "Young Master Chen, holding the purple jade unicorn must be the emperor of the purple micro star when the dynasty descends to earth, whether the Dahao Dynasty can revive the dynasty is all up to you." The old man told me frankly today, because of the stargazing at night, and in three days, that is, February 18, it is the year of your dancing elephant, the Beidou will move westward, and the purple micro will turn into gas, and then the Zhenguo Ying Dragon Divine Beast will be transformed into a shape, and you will take on the responsibility of recovering the country. The old decay will also devote himself to all his efforts and dedication to help the young master restore the country and go down in history. ”

The more Ma Yangchen listened, the more shocked he became, and asked, "Mr. Luo keeps saying that I am Ziwei, do you know my background." ”

Luo Guanguan said: "Seventeen years ago, Wu Cao took power, forced the prince to move out of the East Palace, Chan gave up the throne, and Tan Sihai came forward to force the crown princess who was pregnant for ten months, and the twelve guards of the East Palace risked death to send a baby boy, who was the widow of the crown princess. However, by Wu Cao's order, the master of Ouchi went out, chased and killed this son, and the twelve guards were outnumbered, in order to lure away the master of Ouchi, and finally had no choice but to abandon the child in front of Lingyin Mountain, and was picked up by the generous monk of Lingyin Temple. On that day, the old man and the Yasukuni were incense in the Lingyin Temple, so they adopted this son as a righteous son and raised him, and that child is you, Young Master Chen!"

Ma Yangchen frowned and said, "You mean that I am the son of Prince Zhaoxiao seventeen years ago?"

Luo Guanguan said: "The twelve guards of the East Palace can prove it. It's just that because they were chased and killed by Ouchi masters, most of the twelve guards died in their duties. But one person was lucky enough not to die because he fell off a cliff. Later, the man survived incognito. All this knowledge of the old man is given to me by this population. His name is Jiang Zhengzhong, the former commander of the East Palace guards. ”

Ma Yangchen hurriedly said: "Where is he? Is he still alive?"

Luo Guanguan said sadly: "The year before last, his old injury recurred, and he had passed away after a long time. ”

Ma Yangchen looked depressed and said, "He has something left." ”

Luo Guanguan's face was gloomy, and he said: "When he left, he kept holding the East Palace warrant in his hand. This is the handwritten edict of Prince Zhaoxiao. After speaking, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Ma Yangchen.

On the silk silk, the handwriting is scribbled, it must be that the situation was urgent at the time, and it was written in a hurry.

In just sixteen words, [the jackal tiger is in charge, loyal to the lord. Purple jade body, regrouping].

Ma Yangchen's eyes were blurry, and tears slowly flowed down the corners of his eyes.

He seemed to see the grief and indignation of Prince Zhaoxiao, and also saw the heroism of the twelve guards of the East Palace. The picture in front of him was so clear and real, and the sadness in Ma Yangchen's heart instantly spread.

Luo Guanguan looked at Ma Yangchen in front of him, and he also sighed in his heart. In the year of the dancing elephant, it was naturally difficult to accept this change suddenly.

After being silent for a while, Luo Guanguan persuaded: "Young Master Chen, don't be sad, loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is the desire of all the people of Dahao, and they have proved with their actions what it means to be loyal to the Lord and die a well-deserved death." We can only inherit his legacy, eliminate traitors, return the Dahao Dynasty to the bright and prosperous, and return the people of all directions to enjoy the peace as the right way. ”

Ma Yangchen raised his head and asked, "Where is Jiang Zhengzhong's tomb?"

"Under the Lingyin Temple, deep in the jujube forest. The tombstone did not dare to sign it, and it was called the tomb of the rich layman. ”

"I'm going to worship. Ma Yangchen was resolute.

"Never. Luo Guanguan said urgently, "Now that the Zhenguo Divine Beast has appeared, the Duke of Yasukuni and the Queen of Heaven Wu Cao are rushing for time, we must recapture the Divine Beast before them, and with the help of the power of the Purple Jade Qilin, we can transform the true qi of Ziwei and improve the life of Young Master Chen's Ninety-Five Emperor." ”

"You mean that the Duke of Yasukuni doesn't know the opening method of the Zhenguo Divine Beast and the role of the Purple Jade Qilin?"

"The conversation between Lao Yu and Young Master Chen just now is only known to you and me, and no third person knows today. ”

Ma Yangchen thought for a while and said, "In this way, there are divine beasts in the Yasukuni Princess, and they don't know how to open them. And although the queen of heaven Wu Cao has a purple jade phoenix, he must take three days to grab the divine beast. ”

"That's right. The Duke of Yasukuni rushed back to Lin'an to arrange the assassination of Wu Cao. ”

"Well, in that case, I need to go back to Hangzhou. I need a lot of help now, Lin'an is now a tiger, every step is dangerous, I will go to Lin'an to meet you in two days. At noon on February 17, I will be waiting for you in the outer building of the East Building of Lin'an City. You'll need to figure out the location of the Divine Beast at that time, including the situation of the guards. ”

Luo Guanguan nodded and said, "The old man will draw a simple diagram and hand it over to you." ”

"In addition, after I leave, you go to stay in the second room of the Octagon Inn, help me wait for someone, see her give this to him, tell him not to go anywhere, just wait for me at the Octagon Inn." If it goes well, I will rush back here on February 19 and go back to Wuzhou with her. ”

"What did Young Master Chen say about Dugu Xun girl?"

"Exactly. ”

"Then you don't have to wait. Half an hour ago, Dugu Xun's black horse was just about to enter the city, and someone said something to her at the city gate. The Dugu girl immediately turned around and went straight to Hangzhou. ”

Ma Yangchen was startled and said, "Okay, without further ado! I'll leave immediately." See you in Lin'an. ”
