Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Secret of Lethe
Qian Xiaoyuan said, "The white sect people are shepherding sheep in the south, respecting the way of the sages, advocating that everyone in the sect should read the books of the sages, and the black sect people are cultivating grain in the north, and they love to practice martial arts in their spare time, and everyone can make a knife, gun and stick in one hand." ”
"At first, the well water of the black and white religions did not interfere with the river water, and then they coexisted peacefully, and the people of the two religions began to trade with each other's goods. ”
"In a battle, both sides win and lose, one moment white wins and black loses, and the other time black wins and white loses, often recovering and cannot exhaust ......"
Xu Dong was interested in this history, and he gradually became fascinated by it.
It should be said that at this time, despite the war between the black and white religions, Lethe was still closed, and no outside forces had penetrated in. ”
Qian Xiaoyuan continued, "After decades after the war, the people of the black and white religions have merged and infiltrated in other aspects except for their own religions. ”
"The black people are not limited to farming, some people have begun to shepherd sheep as a business, and the white people have also learned to grow their own food, and the black people have gradually caught up with the white people in terms of size, and the height of adults is about two zhang. ”
"After the founding of the country of Luotuo, a monk named Luan Hai somehow visited Lethe River, and saw that the scenery in the river was different from other places, and thought that he had found a real fairyland. ”
"In order to occupy Lechuan for a long time, Luan Hai begged the country of Luotuo to send him 800 black-armored soldiers, wanting to attack Sichuan and slaughter him. ”
"In order to defend their common homeland, the Southern Ming Sect and the Northern Shejiao Sect have united as never before, and they have stubbornly defended the mouth of the Lutuo Valley and the Laza Pass, preventing the black armor soldiers from taking a single step into the river. ”
"In any case, this is a bloody war, one of which took place in a vicious battle on the Lazar Pass, in which nearly 300 people died on both sides, and every rock in the pass was soaked in the blood of the black and white parishioners of Lethe. ”
"One of the most serious problems facing the black and white people of Lechuan is that the monarch of Luotuo, under the bewitchment of Luan Hai, sent additional soldiers to Lechuan in several batches, while the people of Lechuan were killed one less and could not be replenished. ”
"If this continues, it will be sooner or later if the Aza Pass is breached, and the Lechuan people still can't escape a bloodbath. ”
At this critical time, they encountered the rebellion of the underworld, because the Yan clan created its own serpentine trickster, which was not tolerated by the three famous families of Xu, Liu, and Yin, and they launched a slaughter of the Yan family. ”
"Lethe's power was quickly weakened, and he could no longer resist the kingdom of Ratuo, so he had to bow down to the king of Ratuo. ”
Xu Dong didn't expect that Lechuan had become a vassal territory of the Luotuo Kingdom, and the serpentine trickster played a role in it, and the creation of a peerless technique actually affected a war in the end.
"Actually, the current Lechuan people don't understand the rebellion of the Black Sect very much, and think that the three famous sects are redundant to the Yan family's slaughter, because there was already a monkey shape at that time. ”
Qian Xiaoyuan's narrative actually mentioned the monkey-shaped skill, which made Xu Dong feel happy for a while, "Monkey-shaped skill?
"Soon after the serpentine trick was released, a man named Xu Jin spent years studying the method of cracking it, which is called monkey shape skill. ”
Xu Dong asked, "Can the monkey-shaped alien skills still survive?"
Qian Xiaoyuan said, "After the Yan clan was wiped out, there was no one left to crack the monkey-shaped skill, and soon Lechuan was conquered by the Luotuo Kingdom, and this dethroned technique was plundered by the Luotuo monarch along with many exercises." ”
However, there has always been a saying among the people that these exercises were hidden by the Sichuan lord at that time along with a large number of treasures, and only a very small part of them were plundered by the monarch of Ratuo, and almost all of them were half of the exercises. ”
Although Qian Xiaoyuan's wording was different from that of the Imperial Sword Master, there was not much difference between the historical facts, and he was surprised by these events.
"What is the purpose of them hiding these exercises?"
"Of course, it is to prepare for the day when the mountains will make a comeback, revive Lechuan, and free Lethe from the power of the Ratuo Kingdom. ”
Xu Dong couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect that although one nation had surrendered to another, there was a heart in his heart that could not be conquered.
"Where are these things hiding?"
"There is a folk song 'Stone beasts and stone birds, sleep with treasures', which means that as long as you find stone beasts and stone birds, you can find those treasures. ”
"Stone beasts and stone birds?"
"Legend has it that before surrendering, the lord of Lechuan Chuan hid all the exercises of the black and white sects, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, etc., leaving only a small part on the ground, and it is rumored that these underground treasures are guarded by stone beasts and stone birds. ”
"That'...... Where are these things hidden?"
"Who knows where it is? Although the territory of Lechuan is not big, after all, it is thousands of miles horizontal, you can't turn this big piece of land dozens of feet deep, right?"
"Someone who knows will reveal it!"
"Who else knows such a big secret except the Sichuan Lord at that time? Those who participated in the burial of the treasure were all killed, and not a single one was left alive in the world. ”
Xu Dong secretly complained in his heart, according to this, the piece of dark iron he was looking for was buried deep underground, and he couldn't even find any direction in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
"That'...... Before he died, Lord Chuan always told his successor where the treasure was hidden, right?"
Qian Xiaoyuan said, "This is impossible! Do you think the monarch of the Luotuo Kingdom is brainless? After he occupied the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, he did not loot many treasures, so he brought the Sichuan Lord and the principals of the two religions to the Luotuo Kingdom at that time. ”
After years of torture and still unable to pry open the golden mouth of these people, the king of Ratuo lost patience and beheaded them. ”
Xu Dong was completely disappointed when he heard this, it seemed that this dark iron piece was a foregone conclusion and he couldn't find it, and he Xu Dong actually had a headless public case.
But he still didn't give up, and decided to stay in the Valley of the Giants for a few more days, wanting to venture into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion and carefully rummage through the case materials, maybe there would be an unexpected gain in it.
Qian Xiaoyuan asked, "Hey, I said, what's your name, what are you doing in Lechuan?"
Xu Dong prevaricated her with a personal resume made up in advance, "My name is Liu Baoyu, I am a Han Confucian, Su Ri also reads sage books, and I came to Lechuan to play." ”
Qian Xiaoyuan pulled out her sword and pointed it at him, "You asked us so clearly about the affairs of Sichuan, most of them are fucking spies!"
Xu Dong's face didn't change, he only laughed in his heart, what did you Qian Xiaoyuan do first, as if he was hypnotized, he said everything, and then he thought that there was a lot of mistakes?
But he is very clear in his heart, he has to pretend to be a grandson to the end, if he confronts Qian Xiaoyuan, he will just reveal his identity.
"I'm a scholar, and I can't do anything, so what else can I do? At most, I just come to Lechuan to collect wind and write a few travelogue articles!"
"You asked our Sichuan lord about the treasure so carefully, do you want to steal the treasure in Lethe?"
