Chapter 291 Qionghua
Chen Jingchou was reprimanded by Chen Fu at the inn, so Shen Mu took Yu'er and Xiaoxue to play in the streets and alleys of Jiangdu.

"Wow..." The three came to a beautiful but somewhat remote alley with their hands in their hands. Suddenly, a fortune teller in blue robes holding a paper fan quickly knelt down on the ground and said to Shen Mu and the others: "Please, please." Please don't kill me...I'm not some evil monster..."

"What's the matter?!" Shen Mu was puzzled by the blue-robed scholar who suddenly knelt down to them.

The fortune-teller in the blue robe said: "I... I am the 400-year-old White Deer Spirit, but I have never hurt any living beings... Please don't use the magic mirrors on your bodies to take me back to my original shape..."

"Shen Jing...?" It turned out that Chen Jingchou was afraid that the Kunlun Mirror would be taken away by Yu Wentuo, so he gave the Kunlun Mirror to Shen Mu, who had unfathomable magic power, for safekeeping, "Ah, I understand, it should be the Kunlun Mirror on my body." Does the mirror scare him?"

Yu'er said: "...As expected of an ancient artifact, it really has a unique power."

"You... are you really not Ye Luoshi's subordinates?" the blue-robed fortune teller asked tremblingly.

"Ye Luoshi... who is he?" Xiaoxue asked suspiciously.

The blue-robed fortune-teller said: "He is the Tianzhu monk who was recently recruited by Wang Shichong, the lord who stayed behind in Jiangdu. He goes around subduing demons and demons... It's just that he kills all demons, good or bad, so I'm afraid..."

Seeing that the fortune-teller in blue robe is a monster but cowardly like a mouse, it makes people feel funny, Xiaoyu asked: "Oh, then why do you dare to show up in Jiangdu?"

"He recently went to the deep mountains to cast down demons. I was very scared, so I hid in the market in Jiangdu, pretending to be a divination person." The blue-robed fortune teller shook his head and sighed.

Shen Mu laughed and said: "Haha, so that's the case... This is the true meaning of the saying "the most dangerous place is the safest", right? "

Seeing the fearful look in the eyes of the fortune-teller in blue robe, Xiaoxue comforted her: "Please rest assured...Brother Shen has a very good heart, and we are not under that Ye Luoshi."

"Then don't worry...it's so dangerous." The blue-robed fortune teller wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly stood up, "Actually...Ye Luoshi also has an ancient mirror like yours in his hand , so I sensed the ancient mirror on you just now, and thought you were his subordinates, so I was really frightened."

Xiaoyu asked in surprise: "What...? He also has the same ancient artifact as ours in his hand?"

The fortune teller in the blue robe shook his head and said, "I don't know if that is an ancient artifact...Anyway, every time he subdues demons, he would use an ancient mirror to reveal the original form of demons before subduing them..."

Xiaoxue's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, "By the way, Mr. Bailu, may I ask you..."

"My name is not Mr. Bailu, my name in the world is Lu Zhongkai." This sentence is very powerful.

"I'm sorry... so you are Brother Lu..." Xiaoxue asked: "We are trying to find Nuwa stone, Fuxiqin, and Kongtong seal. You can divination, can you help us divination? where?"

Lu Zhongkai smiled and said, "Well, you're asking the right person... Okay, let me do a divination for you for free, shall I?"

As he spoke, he began to count hexagrams, "It's strange...can't sense it? I'll try again..."

"Ah, yes, yes... I finally caught their clues! The three items of yours should be ancient artifacts, with far-reaching spiritual power, and it is difficult for me to find out their exact location... So I can only take what I got. I will tell you the hexagrams."

The Fuxiqin is located in the Dunhuang Grottoes, and is guarded by the power of a thousand Buddhas... "If you want to get it, it is difficult to win it."

The Kongtong seal is currently in the hands of the imperial court and is owned by the current grand master, but if you go to Changsha County, you can "coincidentally meet a noble person and get it in your bag"...——

As for the nuwa stone, its whereabouts are the most elusive, and it seems to be with everyone, but it is "lost in great prosperity, and gained in great destruction".

Xiaoxue was a little confused, scratched her little ears and asked Shen Mu in a low voice: "Brother Shen, what is this Brother Lu talking about?"

Shen Mu waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, I probably understand the general meaning. Qin is in Dunhuang, printed in Changsha, and stone is somewhere... that's roughly the case, right?"

Lu Zhongkai nodded heavily and said, "It's absolutely correct, that's what it means."

Yu'er praised: "Ah, Mr. Shen...you are really amazing, since big brother Lu has told us so much news, what should we do next?"

"..." Shen Mu rolled his eyes. It's very simple. Is there anything wrong with it? "According to Brother Lu's reminder, Qin is in Dunhuang, but it's not easy to get; I don’t know where it is... From this point of view, it seems that we should go to Changsha first and find Kongtong Yin first."

Yu'er hesitated and said: "However... if the seal is really in the hands of Grand Master Yuwen, it may not be easy for us to snatch it back from him."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Brother Lu just mentioned that there will be noble people to help... I would like to see who the "noble people" are and how they can help us "get it"? "

"Okay, okay..." Xiaoyu said cheerfully: "I'm also very interested in this, let's all go to Changsha County first!"

Xiaoxue thanked Lu Zhongkai: "Brother Lu, ah, thank you so much... The tips you gave us are really helpful."

"You're welcome..." Lu Zhongkai said: "But going to Changsha, the road is full of dangers. I know a secret passage called Dayu Waterway, which can lead directly there."

"Dayu Waterway...?"

Lu Zhongkai nodded and said: "The entrance there is currently blocked by vines. If you plan to go there, you may wish to find my friend Qiao Dainiang at the hut on Xingshan in the west. Only she has the ability to open the vines for you."

The three of Shen Mu returned to the inn, Chen Fu stayed in the inn to continue recuperating, and Chen Jingchou also wanted to follow, Shen Mu said: "Grand Master Yuwen is also coveting ancient artifacts, so we should hurry up and go to Changsha County to find Kongtong Print it!"

The four set out from Jiangdu and passed by Xingshan. When they met a woman dressed in pink, they stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is there a girl named Qiao Dainiang?"

Qiao Dainiang glanced at the four of them, and when she fell on Shen Mu's starry eyes, her pretty face felt a little hot, and she saluted Shen Mu slightly: "This is my servant, what's the matter, my lord?"

Shen Mu cupped his fists and said, "Miss Qiao, we were introduced by Brother Lu Zhongkai from Jiangdu divination. I want to trouble you for something."

Qiao Dainiang said with joy on her face, "Ah, so it's Brother Lu's friend? What's the matter?"

Shen Mudao: "Brother Lu helped us find a clue in divination. We want to find the line to Changsha County. Brother Lu suggested that we come to you and ask about the Dayu Waterway."

"So that's how it is... I understand." Qiao Dainiang said: "Dayu's waterway is the relic of the dredging channel dug by Xia Emperor Dayu when he dredged the flood in Kyushu, but it has been abandoned now. The slave's family will order the vine tree spirit there My friend will open the entrance vine for you... You should go there later, and you should be able to go in directly."

Yu'er said happily: "This is great, how should we thank you?"

Qiao Dainiang smiled slightly and said: "Well... please do me a little favor. The old father of my family loves to grow flowers. His old man's birthday is coming soon, and my family wants to give him a strange flower named Qionghua as a birthday gift... The color of the viburnum is as white as jade, and the fragrance is as blue as blue. I heard that Changsha can buy seeds of viburnum from overseas, so I would like to ask everyone to bring some back for my slaves.”

Shen Mu laughed and said: "Haha~~~Of course it's no problem! You are really filial."

The four of them passed by Xingshan Mountain, passed through the Dayu Waterway, and came to Changsha County.

The street market in Changsha County is full of people coming and going, the traffic is busy, the stream is endless, and it is very lively. In the center of the market, next to a three-storey restaurant, there is a seed flower garden. The owner of the seed shop shouted to passers-by: "Come, come... ...This shop has seeds of all kinds of exotic flowers and trees, come..."

Shen Mu and the others thought of Qiao Dainiang's little request before, so they stepped forward and said, "Hello, do you have any Qionghua seeds here?"

The owner of the seed flower garden said: "Haha... Of course, we have all kinds of seeds in this store! The Qionghua seeds cost five taels of silver..."

"Okay, I bought it." Shen Mu took out five taels of silver and handed it to the owner of the seed garden.

The owner of the seed flower garden shop took five taels of silver, shook it in his hand, put it in his arms, and said happily: "My lord, you know that you should buy viburnum flowers if you want to buy flowers, and you really have a vision, my lord.

I heard that there are Qionghua plants in Jiangdu, and even the current emperor went to Jiangnan this time to see Qionghua! "

Shen Mu smiled and nodded, but said nothing. Xiaoxue thought that there were many soldiers guarding the city when she entered the city, so she asked the owner of the seed garden shop, "I'm sorry, may I ask you... why are there so many soldiers outside Changsha County?"

The owner of the seed shop said: "Ah, don't you know this girl? This is the army of the grand master of the current imperial court, and it has come to Changsha!"

"Grand Master? Could it be... Grand Master Yuwen?"

The owner of the seed shop nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that is Grand Master Yuwen... They seem to have just put down the rebellion in Kuaiji, and they moved here again immediately."

Chen Jingchou asked: "Shopkeeper, you said that the soldiers came here to quell the rebellion. Are there bandits rebelling nearby?"

The owner of the seed shop lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head with his mouth curled up and said: "To be honest, it seems that there is no... That's why it's strange! I heard that the banditry in the northern Central Plains has made the court helpless, but we in Jiangnan are still there. Alright..."

"Then do you know that the army of Grand Master Yuwen went to Kuaiji County to quell the chaos, but it was completely destroyed?"

"I know, of course I know." The owner of the seed shop smiled and said: "The emperor is very angry about this matter. After thinking of Jiangdu, the emperor continued to go south to play in Kuaiji... I heard that Wang Shichong of Jiangdu took this opportunity and planned to recommend a A high-ranking monk from India is going to be the emperor's new national tutor."

"What, the new national teacher?"

The owner of the seed shop looked around, and whispered: "Yes, Grand Master Yuwen used to have a very high status...but it seems that his misbehavior has put his status as a national teacher in danger!"

"Ah..." At this moment, Xiaoxue really wanted to see someone familiar in the market.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxue?"

Xiaoxue was a little uncertain and said: "Just now... just now I seemed to see that old Dugu sister, she was walking towards the market!"

"You mean Princess Dugu...?" Yu'er hurriedly said, "Ah, is that the little princess who returned my tripod?"

"Well, it should be." Xiaoxue wasn't sure.

Shen Mu said: "Let's go, maybe it's really the Princess Dugu who came to Changsha County, let's go find her."

They walked to the market and saw the princess and maid standing in front of the booth, Shen Mu and the others stepped forward and clasped their fists together and said, "Princess, princess Dugu..."

Lonely Ning Ke saw Shen Mu and the others, and said, "Ah, aren't you... that Mr. Shen from before, Mr. Chen, Miss Xiaoxue and Miss Tuoba?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "I'm so glad the princess still remembers us, I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the princess again in Changsha County."

"Princess, princess..." The little girl beside Lonely Ning Ke whispered, "Grand Master Yuwen has many eyes and ears on the street, do you want to invite these friends to another place to chat?"

"Well... Yanhong, you are right!" Lonely Ning Ke nodded, and then said to Shen Mu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen... the street is not easy to talk for a long time, I would like to ask everyone to find a seat at the Jiangyun Building in front, everyone Let's talk again, shall we?"

Shen Mu smiled slightly and said, "Princess, if you are busy, we won't bother you any more!"

"No, no, it's not in the way..." Lonely Ning Ke said, "Actually, it's great to see you here... I have something important to tell you all, please come and meet me!" Dugu Ning Ke and two maidservants entered Jiangyun Tower.

The four of Shen Mu also entered Jiangyun Building together.

"Mr. Shen, please sit down, please sit down!" Lonely Ning Ke said enthusiastically.

The four of them sat down, Shen Mu sat down and took a sip of tea, looked up at Lonely Ning Ke and asked, "Princess, just now you said you have something important to tell us, may I ask what it is?"

Lonely Ning Ke said: "The last time we parted, didn't we make an appointment to curb Grand Master Yuwen's ambition together, do you remember?"

"Well, of course I remember... Taishi Yuwen's goal is the same as ours, to obtain the five ancient artifacts needed by the Ninth Five-Year Formation, but his purpose is to make himself the emperor."

Lonely Ning Ke whispered: "Do you know? That Grand Master Yuwen holds the ancient artifact Kongtong Seal in his hand."

"Ah, the princess also knows about this?"

"Well, of course..." Lonely Ning Ke turned her eyes slightly and said, "I was worried about Grand Master Yuwen's ambition, so after the last farewell, I secretly sent someone to sneak into his army as an assassin! According to me The description of the person sent... Grand Master Yuwen split one into two with a golden sword that day, and with great momentum, defeated the dragon clan there, and easily grabbed the Kongtong seal!"

As he spoke, he pursed his red lips and continued: "What worries me even more is that Grand Master Yuwen has recently found out the whereabouts of the Nuwa Stone. stone!"

Hearing the Nuwa stone, everyone's breathing could not help but Yu'er's eyes showed surprise: "What, even the Nuwa stone..."

"Hmm..." Ning Ke nodded and said, "Besides, I also heard that he successfully found out that another artifact, the Fuxiqin, might be hidden in the Hexi Desert. It seems that he plans to send troops to get it there soon!"

Regarding Yu Wentuo's strength, Chen Jingchou didn't dare to believe it: "Why is this Grand Master Yuwen so powerful, he even knows about Fu Xiqin's stay in Hexi?"

Lonely Ning Ke said with a slight smile: "I remember Mr. Chen once said that the five artifacts to complete the "Ninth Five-Year Formation" are Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone. Grand Master Yuwen will have three of them! "

Chen Jingchou said: "Well, this matter is indeed very serious... Thank you Princess for telling us the news in time."

Yu'er said disapprovingly: "But the Princess can rest assured... because in addition to the Shennong Ding that you returned to us last time, we also have the Kunlun Mirror that we just obtained! As long as these two artifacts are not taken away by him, we You still have a certain advantage..."

Lonely Ning Ke covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Ah, you guys actually snatched the Kunlun Mirror? How is this possible..."

Chen Jingchou smirked and said: "Yes, the Kunlun Mirror is in the hands of Brother Shen, it is very safe, the princess doesn't know that we are also very powerful, right?"

"..." Shen Mu rolled his eyes, and said to himself, "What a fool, you idiot..."

Lonely Ning Ke landed on Shen Mu, holding her chin and said, "Uh... Strange! Isn't the Kunlun Mirror supposed to be... No, forget it! All in all, it's really great that you can master the remaining two artifacts." ... Then I will leave it to you to protect these two artifacts from now on, please."

Xiaoyu vowed: "Don't worry, princess... Even if we sacrifice our lives, we won't let Grand Master Yuwen take them away!"

Lonely Ning Ke showed hesitation in her eyes, and said slowly: "Actually... What I really want to tell you today is not the bad news above, but the good news!"

"Big news...?"
