016 - Through the ages

Tang Lichuan couldn't understand how the two people who had obviously met so far could be forced to face each other now. Listening to the real wine, he laughed and asked, "Why is Xue Gongzi like this?"

Xue Yin also seemed to be struggling with this question. After all, it was he who first found the real wine and asked him to meet him in Qingshuitang, although others believed that the real wine was credible, but he didn't believe anyone but himself!

"The seniors seem to have something to hide from the surname Xue. Xue Yin was not convinced, but he covered up the thoughts in his heart and replied.

"Xue Gongzi didn't believe in the old decay, so he naturally felt that the old decay had something to hide. Right?"

Xue Yin took half a step forward and said, "No! For example, those people from Fangcai, what are they looking for in the seniors? And that devouring ghost, why did he give the seniors five thousand taels of silver tickets? Sure enough, he wants to seal your mouth? But why do you want to seal your mouth? What do you know? We made an appointment two months ago, but where did the seniors go in the past two months? What did you investigate? Don't you say that it has nothing to do with the silver mine. ”

Tang Lichuan was confused, and only listened to the real wine and sighed: "Although it is related, it may not be related to Xue Gongzi." Why should Xue Gongzi care?"

Xue Yin was also dumb when he said this. After all, he was just afraid, he was afraid that this real wine was unreliable! He didn't want to take risks, he didn't want to lose his life in vain!

Zhenjiu said again: "Xue Gongzi said that there is a friend to explore the road for you, but does this friend really exist? Why don't you tell me?"

"Of course there is! I don't say it, so naturally there is no need to say it!"

Zhenjiu sighed and said, "Since Xue Gongzi has things that he doesn't think need to explain, why do you force the old man to share everything with Xue Gongzi?"

Xue Yin wanted to refute when he heard this, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that he really had no words to refute, so he swallowed his anger and put away his sword and shouted: "Count me abrupt! Old man, you should go back to the Zhengfa Palace! The surname Xue can complete this matter alone!" and prepared to ride away.

Mashu turned around and asked, "How do you accomplish this? If they really have such a great ability, how can you deal with it alone?" ”

Xue Yin said angrily: "Old man, don't ask! In short, this is what I must accomplish!"

"It's better to worship under my door, I can teach you swordsmanship all the way, so as to protect yourself. Masaka said with a smile on his face.

Xue Yin didn't think about it after hearing this, but only replied indifferently: "No need! If the old man wants to find someone to pass the time, I don't think this little brother is bad." That's right, too. It's time for the old man to think about the inheritance, lest there be no one to send him to the end of his life!"

"Then you want to leave like this? Don't you want to understand the ins and outs of this case as quickly as possible? Zhenjiu thought that Xue Yin's angry words were really cute, and continued to stop him funny.

Xue Yin looked back when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Can you say?"

Masake nodded, "Why not, it's just a matter of timing." I also want to ask some other things from Xue Gongzi. ”

Xue Yin frowned, and his whole face looked unhappy. Although there is moonlight, you can't see a person's expression clearly. Zhenjiu could only look at him quietly, and only after a moment did he hear Xue Yin say: "Old man Yi is all right, he said that he is waiting for the appointment of [Yan'erbin] in September this year!"

Zhenjiu laughed when he heard it, but Tang Lichuan and Xue Yin wondered why he was laughing.

That night, they did not leave the Tsing Shui Pond. Only when it was almost dawn, Tang Lichuan went to find the horses of the two. The horses of the two of them were worse when compared to Xue Yin's horses. Xue Yin heard that they all praised their horses for being special, and his face became more and more abnormal, as if he looked very uneasy because his horse was too dazzling.

From Luanzhou to the south, you can take the [Changxing Ancient Road], go around to the back of the Zhengfa Palace, if the road is safe, hurry up, you can arrive in seven or eight days. It's just that the three of them are not in a hurry and have to prevent being stopped by others on the road again, so they are extremely cautious. And because he wanted to talk to Xue Yin about something, he stopped and stopped, and sometimes he had to delay a lot of time.

Zhenjiu never expected that what Xue Yin said was deeper than he imagined.

Xue Yin was talking about a batch of tribute silver at the end of the Dadu [Yongwang] sixty years ago. At that time, most of the capital was divided into 16 counties, and the tribute was submitted in batches by each county. The tribute was 20,000,000 taels from the official mines, and the tax silver for each county was 10,000,000 taels of silver. On the fifth day of the arrival of this batch of silver, it was inexplicably lost. In the following ten years, there were six cases of silver theft in Xiayi, Huadu, and Yunyu, and each of them was an astonishing amount. After a long time, the silver disappeared without a trace, and even the case of silver robbery was nowhere to be found. Then, five years before the current King Wu raised his army to sweep away the countries, there was another silver robbery. This time it was more extensive, and it lasted for a year, and a large number of real money and silver in the treasury of various countries were transferred. It is still not possible to identify who or which sect is responsible.

Although the silver was robbed, no one was found to have used it privately. Even if they wanted to hide, it would be a considerable amount of money, and the heavens and the earth were wide, but where could they hide? Even so, no one could find out the whereabouts of those huge treasures. It was as if the silver had suddenly evaporated from the earth.

Some people say that such a large horse of gold and silver must have been hidden in the mountains or deep waters. However, which mountain, which piece of water? Heaven and earth are so wide, where to find it? Until King Wu was reused as a general by King Yong at that time, and when the Quartet sent troops to quell the internal and external disturbances, everyone was divided, and King Wu got that huge wealth!

There is a lot to know about these real wines. When King Wu attacked the world, he relied on the power of many people in the rivers and lakes, and what he really relied on might be more wealth! The seniors of the martial arts who were a little older knew that King Wu was generous! King Wu threw thousands of dollars! He didn't even move his eyebrows! King Wu never seemed to worry that his silver would be spent, he always gave it to his heroes in boxes and boxes, and he was never stingy! Even when King Wu attacked various countries, there were soldiers who took the initiative to abandon their armor and surrender to sincerity because they heard that King Wu was rich! Although there is no verifiable evidence, it is not groundless, and the wealth of the warrior king has always been a gimmick of rap in the world.

Twenty-six years ago, some people in the martial arts said that they knew the whereabouts of that batch of gold and silver. Some people said that they had seen King Wu secretly assign his henchmen to go to the present-day [Taoshan of Hanliang Mansion], so they guessed that the Taoshan Mountain contained gold and silver that they could die for.

Taoshan is a mountain, and the mountains are layered like ocean waves, and they are uneven. It's hard to get in, and it's even harder to get out. However, it was this kind of speculation that caused an indelible treasure hunt in the rivers and lakes twenty-six years ago.

Zhenjiu knew about the incident twenty-six years ago, but he didn't know how Xue Yin found out about the loss of tribute silver sixty years ago, so he felt very curious about him, but he didn't know how to ask, so he only smiled lightly: "But your so-called friend helped you investigate?"

Xue Yin thought for a while, and said seriously: "When you come out to mingle, you always have to find some relationships, right?" Then looking at Zhenjiu's suspicious look, he changed his words and said, "Actually, I once stayed in the Zhengfa Palace for two months. ”

Surprised, the real wine asked, "When?"

"Two years ago, it was in the case database of the Zhengfa Palace. ”

Zhenjiu was even more surprised, and asked, "How did you get into the Dharma Palace?

Xue Yin said disapprerovingly: "What's so strange, because the case library is almost unguarded. It's just a little messy. Don't forget, the Dharma Palace was built for the affairs of the rivers and lakes. How can a big case 60 years ago, and a case related to various countries, not be recorded?"

The real wine also makes sense when he thinks about it, but there are several kinds of filings in their Zhengfa Palace, and he has always seen cases that have nothing to do with the government and the opposition.

Xue Yin thought that whether it was sixty years ago or after the unification of the Wu Dynasty, such a case of theft of tribute silver was too similar. The same huge amount, the same coming and going, the same mystery. If it weren't for the gang's means inheritance, he would have liked to think of something else.

The real sake fell into a long period of contemplation. It took a lot of time to tell this story, and although I said a lot, I still don't know what kind of god it was who robbed the silver. And twenty-six years ago, the matter that the Zhiyang Girl of the Purple Phoenix Holy Sect had entered Taoshan Mountain to see the treasure was even more rumored, and no one could prove it for sure. These things are just the information that Xue Yin checked by himself, and he didn't dare to take it to the table to ask him, for fear that it would cause another wave of treasure hunting, and it would be another bloody killing crime. This is also the thing that worries real sake the most.

Xue Yin stared at the black sword in his hand and said, "Yes! If the whereabouts of that treasure are noticed again, it will be even more chaotic." ”

Zhenjiu then looked at the short sword in her hand and asked, "But Black Flame Mingfeng?"

He said, "Yes and no. ”

"Black Flame Mingfeng" was created many years ago by Hanging Casting Haimen. Its material is a kind of precious black ore obtained from Daliao. It is said that in order to create this sword, the swordsman of the Hanging Heart Gate [Ning Baique] once drew drawings and models for several days without eating or drinking, which can be described as well-intentioned. But just when this sword came out, there was another "Black Flame Famous Blade" that was exactly the same as it, and the materials, shapes, and tenacity were almost the same as them. For this matter, the two families quarreled and fought to the Zhengfa Palace, and no one refused to give in. It was also very famous at the time. Ning Baique is a persistent person and a picky person, and in the end, according to the drawings provided by [Su Zaiyun], one of the four sons of the Suspense Casting Haimen, he destroyed the Black Flame Famous Blade and recast the Black Flame Sword in Xue Yin's hand now.

The original Black Flame Mingfeng weighed seven catties and seven taels and five cents, and this Black Flame Sword now has a net weight of only three catties and eight taels. It is said that the remaining sword iron was also used to make the other two weapons. And these weapons were not listed on the weapons spectrum of the Hanging Gate later, so they have never been sold. The people of Yunbao who had a good relationship with him, such as Yun Erye Yun Han, had also begged for it many times, and even spent a lot of money to borrow it, but Ning Baique was unwilling to give it away. Even with the real wine, he couldn't understand how much ability this Xue Yin had to get this Black Flame Sword.

And Xue Yin was full of regret when he said this. Listening to him, this black flame sword pierced the eyes, he had been with him for two years, and he had never unsheathed it, just for fear of causing trouble. But I didn't want to see the real wine today, so I asked him to take the sword and fight with others. Zhenjiu heard his dissatisfaction, and only asked curiously, that is, a weapon, if you don't fight against people, how can you establish the world? Xue Yin said that he didn't pay attention to it, but he was angry halfway.

In the end, Tang Lichuan asked him what was the use of hiding it without revealing it. Xue Yin said, not to show up, but to kill with one blow! Zhenjiu smiled when he heard this, and asked, "With your martial arts, how can you kill with one blow?"

Xue Yin's face was ugly and said, "When a person with very poor martial arts wears a peerless blade, he will be full of confidence!"

This crooked reasoning made the real wine laugh for a long time, and although it was a laugh, it was only amused by his reason, and there was no intention of making fun of it. Then the real wine said, "How about the old man teach you the real swordsmanship?"
