Half fairy

Chapter 71 The Secret of Calligraphy and Painting

He is very familiar with this metal shaft, and he can't even remember the pattern on it, because he also has one.

There are two of these objects, which were built by Ajiezhang, the leader of Yubu, who ordered them to be built. One was in Ajiezhang's hands, and the other was given to him for safekeeping.

Zhong Su took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Yu Qing was slightly surprised. He felt that when the bellman received this object, his hands seemed to tremble a little, and doubts flashed in his heart.
On second thought, it might be because it was a dowry gift for his own daughter.

But a doubt that once had in my heart flashed once again. How could these two families use a broken painting as a dowry for their children's life-long event?Especially with the identity of Ajiezhang back then.

From Zhong Su's reaction, he vaguely felt that the painting might not be that simple.

He couldn't help thinking of Ash Heng's repeated explanations that the painting could not be lost. He felt that Ash Heng seemed to be hiding something from himself.

After flipping through the pages, Zhong Su twisted off a lid and poured out a half-picture that was light and thin like silk. He knew that there should be no mistake just from the texture of the canvas.Spreading out his hands and looking at the painting again, his eyes became more and more splendid. That's right, it was the other half of the cut-out painting he had seen before, there was nothing wrong with it.

The other half was already in his hands, and now both of them are in his hands.

He was restrained on the surface, but his heart was actually surging with excitement.

In addition to being excited, he sighed and sighed, and he was filled with emotion.

Others do not know the meaning of this calligraphy and painting, but he is very clear.

It is precisely because of this painting and calligraphy that he came together with Ajiezhang, the former Yubu Langzhong.

At that time, Ajiezhang was in charge of the Yu Department, and his power was strong, and he was just a small businessman. It is reasonable to say that it is difficult for the two to have any relationship. superior.

Just because he inherited the family business of his wife's family at that time, and some rumors were not good, he was not willing to just guard the Wen family's shop, so he tried his best to catch the line of the Ministry of Industry, and finally got his job from the Ministry of Engineering. I got some small-scale jobs and organized a group of people to go to the mountains frequently, and it was only at that time that I came into contact with the Yu Department.

One day, his work team suddenly received an urgent call from the Ministry of Yu, and several other teams were called at the same time. Only after arriving at the scene did they know that A Jiezhang, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Yu, had also come from the capital, and he was also there. There are many people from Sinan House.

Afterwards, a group of people entered the depths of a dangerous mountain as instructed, and only after arriving at the location did they know that an ancient tomb was being dug.

But after the epitaph was dug up, he found out that the person buried here was actually a general of the previous dynasty. He also did not know how these people in the capital found clues to the ancient tombs in such a hidden place. In short, they must have done this kind of tomb digging. After digging out the entrance and entering the tomb, it was like an underground labyrinth.

However, what surprised him was that there were demons guarding the tomb in the ancient tomb.

Afterwards, what he experienced was the horror that Zhong Su would never forget. There were constant screams of fighting, or terrifying noises, and people kept falling, which almost scared him to the ground. The people he brought were ordinary coolies, how could he bear it? Live, all dead.

He also thought that he was dead, and he didn't know how he came out alive in the end. In short, when he saw the way to survive, he ran away. It was entirely based on instinct and feeling to escape for his life. climbed out.

However, as soon as he climbed out of the pit, he witnessed an unimaginable scene. A person from Sinan's mansion seemed to be seriously injured. He had just escaped from the underground. He was holding a long bronze box in his hand and was waiting for Ajiezhang outside. Report the situation, say what you found, you can inform everyone to retreat.

As a result, Ah Jiezhang took advantage of his surprise and suddenly stabbed the seriously injured Sinan man to death.

The latter, who was caught off guard, hurriedly counterattacked, and also slapped Ajiezhang out and vomited blood.

And that Sinan manor also fell precariously into the deep pit below, and was penetrated by a stalagmite.

He Zhong Su was really stunned, he didn't expect to see this scene.

And Ajiezhang also saw him, got up with his sword, and walked towards him.

He sensed something was wrong, was frightened, and ran away naturally.

Ah Jiezhang was seriously injured, and he couldn't catch up with him in the rugged mountains.

It's about this tomb.

There have always been rumors in the practice world that there are several blessed places in the world where immortals live, and one of them is called 'Little Cloud Room'.

Legend has it that before the immortals of 'Xiaoyunjian' returned to the immortal world, they dismissed the maids they served, and after their maids returned to the world, they married a general.Later, the maid contracted a serious illness, and before she died, she revealed her past serving immortals, and gave a calligraphy and painting to the general, saying that this painting was a map she drew, and she could find the "Xiaoyunjian" according to the diagram. ' where.After that, there was a war of subjugation. The general died in the battle. The henchmen who followed his bloody battle robbed his body and sacrificed his life to break out of the siege. After that, no one knew where the general was buried.

It is rumored that the calligraphy and painting that can find the blessed land of Xianjiadong has been buried with the general.

It is said that the source of the rumors came from the confidant of the general who buried the general. Before his death, he told his descendants the secret, but the descendants became greedy and could not achieve it alone. When looking for someone to cooperate, the secret leaked out.

Because of this rumor, those looking for the remains of the Immortal family all want to find the tomb of the general, and the best way is to find those who participated in the burial of the general.

After that, no one knows whether anyone has found the burial place of the general. As the years go by, the rumor has become a legend circulating in the world.

Hearing this, Zhong Su had probably guessed who the ancient tomb dug this time belonged to.

Sure enough.

The ancient tomb that was annihilated for a long time, all traces have been dusted. Ajiezhang said that he did not know where the Sinan mansion was dug up to find the clues. He actually found the ancient tomb, which means that the rumors are very likely to be true. of.

Judging from the excavation, there are demons quietly guarding the tomb in the ancient tomb, which is obviously abnormal. Ajiezhang suspects that the general has been to the 'Xiaoyunjian' before his death.What's more, the Sinan mansion personnel who came out of the tomb had already found the calligraphy and painting accompanying the burial.

Because of this, Ajiezhang killed the Sinan manor and killed him!
Just because Ajiezhang didn't want the dug up calligraphy and painting to spread again to bring disaster to the country and the people, he has been in Yubu for many years, and he knows how laborious and costly this kind of search is.

Zhong Su was puzzled at the time, and asked, since this is the case, let the emperor find the longevity art, and naturally there is no need to waste people and money to find it in the future, isn't it a good thing?
Ajiezhang said that what he thought was too simple, saying that if the emperor lived forever, the father and son of the royal family would kill each other, and the royal family of Jin Kingdom would be the target of public criticism.

Ajiezhang asserted that if the emperor could live forever, it would be the beginning of the chaos in Jin Kingdom, and countless people would fall into a catastrophe!
In short, Ajiezhang couldn't kill Zhong Su because of his injuries, and he didn't want Zhong Su to reveal the secret, so he had to negotiate the terms with Zhong Su, and later concealed the secret together.

Later, the legend of the ancient tomb may just be a legend. Later, more people from Sinan Mansion came to fight with the evil spirits in the tomb. After searching the ancient tomb, the legendary treasure map was not found. .

Fortunately, this kind of thing seems to be commonplace in Sinan Mansion. After so many years of verification of various clues, this is often the case. How can there be such an easy-to-find fairyland, but it would be a pity to waste those efforts.

Later, Zhong Su got a promise from Ajiezhang in return.

A businessman does not have to have smooth sailing or strong ability to make a fortune. Sometimes only one chance in a lifetime is enough.

Under Ajiezhang's quiet arrangement, Zhong Su naturally got that chance to change his fate.

His wife Wen Jianhui didn't know about these things, nor would she tell her.

And in order to appease Zhong Su, and also for the peace of mind on both sides, Ajiezhang did not hesitate to sacrifice his honor to marry his own son and Zhong Su's daughter.

That calligraphy and painting was also divided into two at that time.

Participating in such a secret, Zhong Su had no choice but to hide it for many years without reporting it.

But at that time, in order to change the fate, it was a sacrifice, and it was too late to regret after getting what I wanted.

Seeing this half of the painting again at this time, the past is vivid in his mind, how could Zhong Su not be overwhelmed with emotion.

This is also equivalent to a token, which is equivalent to confirming the identity of 'Ashiheng'.

Although he could pass the Liezhou Township Exam, Liezhou must have checked the authenticity of the identity of 'Ashiheng', but he felt completely at ease when he saw this thing. After all, it was impossible for Ajiezhang to tell others the secret of this thing.

After reading and confirming half of the calligraphy and painting, Zhong Su put it back into the metal shaft, and then stuffed it into his sleeve, and finally he was able to speak confidently, "Shiheng, you know about the engagement, and you also take the initiative to deliver the dowry to your door. Now, since I have an appointment with your father, I will not break my promise. Well, your parents are gone, we will take care of some things for you. We adults will take care of the marriage of your younger generation. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Let your young couple choose an auspicious day to get married."

"..." Yu Qing's head buzzed, a little stunned, and blurted out: "So soon?"

What do you mean?Zhong Su's face was instantly ugly, "Is it wrong to you?"

As soon as Yu Qing said that, he realized that he had said something stupid, and quickly changed his words: "Uncle, this is not what my little nephew means, what my little nephew means is that my little nephew has achieved nothing so far, and I am really ashamed. It's not too late to marry your love."

It turned out that he felt that he was not worthy of it, Zhong Su's face turned slightly pale, and he asked lightly, "Then when do you think you will be able to be named in the gold medal list?"

Yu Qing said embarrassedly: "This... Little nephew doesn't know for the time being, but little nephew will definitely try his best."

Zhong Su said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, if you don't pass the exam in one session, my daughter will wait for you for another three years? If you fail the test in ten sessions, could it be that my daughter has to wait for you for thirty years? Yuruo A woman in the same age of Chen has children all over the place. Have you ever seen a few girls in their twenties who are still unmarried? If you think my daughter is not worthy of you, you can tell it directly. I will never force it. !"
