The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 78 Treasure Rumors
In the east of the city, the Duanmu family caravan is stationed.

It was still the dark underground secret room, with a few bronze lamps burning quietly, emitting a dim yellow light.

"What? You said that someone in the caravan was stealing bamboo slips last night? Who did you hear that from?" Duanmu Shuliang looked at Zhao Qing in front of him and asked in surprise.

As far as he knew, last night Zhao Qing sent Zheng Dan the inner strength without interruption, and did not leave the secret room.

Speaking of it, he was quite envious of this healing qigong method. Even if his cultivation level was not high, he could still be a guest of honor in many places.

"It's like this. You should have seen the white ape that walked with me. Its intelligence is no different from that of a human. It told me..."

Zhao Qing briefly introduced Mr. Yuan's situation, and then asked: "Among the bamboo slips carried by the caravan, is there a volume of "Lian Shan Yi"? It contains gossip about Gen Gong."

"The "Lianshan Yi" handed down by the Emperor? How could our caravan bring such an obscure and difficult book on the road. I remember the dozens of bamboo slips, which contained the caravan's ledger and cargo list."

Duanmu Shuliang has naturally heard of the name "Lian Shan Yi", but he has not read the original text of "Lian Shan Yi".

Ancient classics such as "Lianshan" and "Guizang" are quite rare, and they are basically concentrated in the collection rooms of princes and nobles.

Generally speaking, the longer the inheritance and the higher the status of the nobility, the closer the collection of ancient books is to the original.Ordinary aristocrats, the collection is the version revised and changed by later generations.

In ancient times, the grammar of writing and writing was quite different from today's.After being handed down, there will be various differences in interpretation, and even the opposite and inversion.

As a result, the value of these ancient books is greatly reduced.No one can guarantee that the version they see is accurate.Relying on the wrong classics, there are not a few people who want to comprehend the Way and the Dharma, but go astray and become obsessed.

The person who has seen the most and most complete books in the world is Lao Tzu who once served as the historian of the Zhou royal family.Many people have speculated that Lao Tzu's profound cultivation and Taoism were learned from the ancient classics.

However, among these people, few dare to imitate Lao Tzu's way, it is precisely because of this reason.

Duanmu Shuliang was born as an unremarkable bastard in the main line of the Duanmu clan, and later became one of the chiefs of the caravan sent to Yuedi.However, he also has the right to consult the ancient books of the clan, but Duanmu Shuliang has never read them.

The reason is very simple, trying to comprehend something from these classics with many mistakes, the probability of success is surprisingly low.Rather than wasting time, it is better to read a few more volumes of books related to business and memorize a few more volumes of the General Catalog of Products under Heaven, so as to gain the respect and praise of the elders.

Divinators, shamans, and fortune-tellers often bring Sanyi with them, but most of them just use "Yi" as a reference material, and they rarely have any insights.

Those who really study these ancient books are basically only the Taishi and the history of the storage room of various countries.

"You mean that an outsider hid a volume of "Lian Shan Yi" in the pile of bamboo slips in our caravan, and then someone tried to find it last night?" Duanmu Shuliang thought for a while, looking at Zhao Qing.

"At present, it is like this. Today I met a bandit from Panyu Mountain, and I learned that this volume of "Lianshan Yi" may be related to the clues of Zhou Muwang's treasure." Zhao Qing added.

At that time, Xu Shiliu declared that he was carrying the secret of King Zhou Mu's treasure. Zheng Dan and the caravan guards heard it, and Zhao Qing was not going to hide it.

If the news is true, she doesn't think that her current strength can participate in this kind of incident involving top experts.

Duanmu Shuliang pondered for a moment, and then said: "King Zhou Mu's legacy? According to our Duanmu family's news, King Mu once ordered his Yanshi to secretly build a huge underground city in the mountains. There are countless treasures. The specific location unknown."

"It is rumored that in his later years, King Mu kept the fairy art he obtained from the Queen Mother of the West in the depths of this city, and cast a spell to make the whole city sink into the ground. This is the so-called legend of King Mu's legacy, and this city was also destroyed. People call it 'Muwang Baocheng'."

"The biggest doubt about this rumor is that there is no reason for King Mu not to leave the treasures and fairy arts to his son King Gong, but to bury them underground. This city is not his own mausoleum, and he needs a bunch of treasures to be buried with him."

"However, for thousands of years, many people have claimed to have discovered the treasured city of Mu Wang, saying that this huge city travels underground and will appear in the world at regular intervals, and the description of it is quite detailed, which makes it difficult not to understand. Believe it exists."

A city that travels underground?This technology is a bit outrageous.Feeling that it is difficult to have anything to do with a roll of bamboo slips, Zhao Qing rubbed her hair and thought silently.

"My talent is limited, and I am already very old. I will no longer dream of reaching the sky like I was when I was young. But Miss Zhao, you are still young and have endless potential." Looking at the young and lively Zhao Qing in front of her, Duanmu Shuliang said with a smile.

"Since your companion Bai Yuan got the bamboo slips that may be clues to the treasure from the pile of bamboo slips in the caravan, if you are willing to find the treasure, I will provide support behind you."

Duanmu Shuliang turned around, and calmly said: "If you really find something, remember to bring me a word when publicizing it to the outside world, so that I can also enjoy the treatment of leaving a name for future generations."

Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, saying that she didn't want to explore the situation of the treasure, which was impossible.

However, the bamboo slips were discovered in the Duanmu family's caravan after all, and Duanmu Shuliang theoretically had the right to deal with them first. Fortunately, he gave up the bamboo slips to himself.

"The person who stole the bamboo slips from the caravan last night, go and investigate now?" Zhao Qing reminded.

"I'm going to investigate. However, the possibility of finding out is very small. After the thief finds out that he has stolen the wrong thing, he can put the bamboo slips back to the original place, so that there is no way to distinguish them."

"There is another important thing. Since the elders of the Peng family will come to support, I decided to postpone the departure date of the caravan for two days. During this period, you can find me if you have anything to do."

Duanmu Shuliang replied, jumped up the passage at the top, and left.

……

After Duanmu Shuliang left for a while, the flame of the indoor bronze lamp gradually stabilized.

Zhao Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, calmed down, then opened the white porcelain bottle in his hand, gently poured out a black elixir, and placed it in the palm of his right hand.

Most of the surface of the black pill is as black as charcoal, with seven tiny red dots.Upon closer inspection, the black part is more like a layer of medicine coat, and the red dots are seven small holes, just like the seven orifices of a human being.

This is the foundation-building panacea treasured by the Peng family: Huoqiao Pill.

Not seeing how her right hand moved, the Huoqiao Pill the size of a soybean jumped up slightly and fell into Zhao Qing's mouth.

She thought of a special way to use the fire energy contained in the Huoqiao Pill.

Among the five elements, fire overcomes gold, and using the energy of fire to smelt the energy of gold may improve her progress in the "Heavenly Soldiers Refining Form and Entraining Qi", speed up the speed of opening the pulse of sword energy, and complete the first stage earlier. The sword energy of the wheel opens the veins.

In this way, the time to enter the dreaming heavens can be brought forward, so that the strength can be improved faster.
