On the way back to Tianjin, Old Liu Tou repeatedly looked at the dagger he picked up from the corpse of Zhao Kuncheng's father, and kept gnashing his teeth and sighed, "It's a blessing in disguise!"

"Brother, what kind of sword is this?" Zhang Guozhong didn't know much about antiquities.

"I'm telling you, don't be shocked..." Lao Liutou coughed, put his mouth to Zhang Guozhong's ear, and whispered something in a low voice.

"Ah!" Zhang Guozhong shouted, causing the driver to brake suddenly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

"Master driver, it's okay, it's okay. You can keep driving. It's our own business. I'm sorry, sorry..." Zhang Guozhong was quite embarrassed and kept saying nice things.

The car continued to drive, and while stroking the sword, Zhang Guozhong followed Old Liu Tou's fingers and saw two badly worn seal characters on a very inconspicuous place on the sword hilt. The shape of the second character was too complicated and was damaged by wear and tear.

It's serious, I can't see clearly anymore, but I can vaguely make out the first word: "HUGE".

"Brother, are you sure this is a real guy?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't hide his excitement and asked Old Liu Tou in a low voice.

"I can't guarantee whether it's real or not, but since Zhao Kuncheng's father dared to break into Shiba Mingding with this thing, I can't believe it's fake." Old Liu Tou twisted two sparse beards with his hands, "It feels good when used.

how?"

"Yeah! Yeah! The bottom of the cave is full of water, and the yin energy is very heavy. To deal with that Gui ghost, Wentian usually uses it, but this guy seems to be quite effective!" Zhang Guozhong analyzed that Zhao Mingchuan wanted to stay in a place that was not Juyin Pool.

To create the effect of the Yin Gathering Pool, a layer of water was deliberately placed in the secret chamber. In this case, nine out of ten ordinary evil blades would fail. From this, it seems that Zhao Kuncheng's father held such a powerful weapon.

This guy went into the mountain specifically to deal with that "Kui ghost".

"So, those swords made by Ou Yezi are all real? They don't seem to be as meticulously crafted as the legends say!" Zhang Guozhong lightly touched the blade of the sword with his finger, and immediately felt a slight pain and lifted his head.

When he looked at his hand, he saw it had been cut, "It doesn't look good, but it feels so damn good when I touch it..."

The car continued to speed. Although it was said that the national seal was lost, Zhang Guozhong felt that it was worth it based on the mentality of "no fish or shrimps". The sword in his hand was none other than the legendary sword——

If the Juque Sword is not a fake, according to fashionable terms, it is Ou Yezi's "flagship product".

Back in Tianjin, the first thing Zhang Guozhong did was to draw a sketch of the Longtan Secret Chamber in Wuling Mountain and the surrounding terrain, including the burial places of the two Shiba Mingdings he discovered and the location of the bottle in the stream. This was done by Zhao Mingchuan

Although this Eighteen Mingding belongs to heresy, there are many things worth thinking about and learning from. If you understand this thing, you won't have to bet your life every time you encounter such evil things in the future.

After verification with Old Liu Tou, there are about five known burial sites for Ming Ding, two of which he has discovered. One is a place where bottles are buried under the stream, which is temporarily listed as suspected, and one was discovered by Old Liu Tou.

, and there is another place that is temporarily listed on Li Ruixue's escape route. Although the locations of the Eighteen Mingdings are only roughly demarcated, but looking at the map, the general arrangement is similar to that of the Treasure Cave of the Later Jin Dynasty.

The Dragon Formation is very similar.

"Senior brother, do you think this Eighteen Mingdings are based on the Chi Long Formation?" Zhang Guozhong said.

"It's very possible..." Old Liu Tou spread out the treasure map of the Later Jin Dynasty at that time, and began to compare the mountains around each town platform in the Chilong Formation, and found that there were many similar places.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Li Erya opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Guoyi.

"Brother, someone called you this afternoon. How did he end up calling me?" Zhang Guoyi looked strange.

"Are you from Beijing?" Zhang Guozhong asked?

"Yes, let me tell you what the result is."

"What did he say?" Zhang Guozhong rummaged through the box and found a bankbook, "Guoyi, take this, take it out later and share it with your parents. I won't care about this."

"He said it was the mucus on the carp's body." Zhang Guoyi took the passbook and opened it. He was immediately stunned. He saw a foreign exchange passbook worth 20 million Hong Kong dollars. "Brother, why did you go there? It's not something illegal, right?"

"Mucus on the carp's body?" Zhang Guozhong thought hard. Mucus on the carp's body is added to the body's organs? What on earth does Zhao Kuncheng's father want to do?

"I understand..." Old Liu Tou said, "Fish belongs to Yin, this guy has already broken the Shiba Mingding!"

"How do you say that?" Zhang Guozhong still didn't understand what Old Liu Tou meant.

"Eighteen Mingding, why do you attack or kill people?" Old Liu Tou asked. Zhang Guozhong shook his head.

"When Zhao Mingchuan killed those eighteen people, he didn't mean to simply kill them, but to use 'soul-reducing technique' first, and then kill them!" Old Liu Tou analyzed that this "soul-removing technique" was a rudimentary technique.

, giving people a "soul-losing" effect, with normal breathing and pulse, occasionally accompanied by high fever symptoms, and unconsciousness. "Anyone who has no soul attached to the body will have the desire to return to the body, but if there is a 'soul-dispersing curse', the soul will

Then he cannot return to his body, and resentment arises from this!"

"You mean, as long as these souls find their bodies, their grievances will dissipate? The human organs in this bottle can use the carp mucus to deceive the wronged souls and let them regard the organs in the bottle as their own corpses?" Zhang Guozhong said

, "I found four bottles, which means that Zhao Kuncheng's father must have brought eighteen bottles. There are four left at this moment, which means that of these eighteen Mingding, Zhao Kuncheng's father has broken fourteen for us."

?”

"Yes!" Old Liu Tou said, "And I heard you say that you also encountered an earth demon, so that counts as one! Also, let the tree support the one whose 'soul-dispersing curse' has been broken, so that counts as one of ten.

There are six of them, Li Ruixue hit one, and there is another person whose armor was hit crookedly, not a single one is left!" Old Liu counted the numbers on his fingers, and all of them were correctly marked.

"It seems that Zhao Kuncheng's father was responsible for that man's death... I saw a head next to his body, but I couldn't find the body." Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered the skull next to the remains of Zhao Kuncheng's father.

"Hmm...I suspect...that one might be...the place where Zhao Mingchuan buried that man was the Juyin Pond...Zhao Kuncheng's father dug up the burial place and stuffed bottles into it when he exhumed the body...and at that time he was

When the technique was used, the body was broken..." Old Liu Tou frowned and analyzed, "Otherwise, how could Zhao Kuncheng, his father, use a knife if he wanted to kill someone? And how could he bring such a family secret to others?

Where to go? That place is a maze. You can’t find the way in during the day, so you can only enter at night, so it’s unlikely that they are mountain people..."

"Well, after the corpse was lifted, something got into the headless corpse, so it turned into a human body... It makes sense..." Zhang Guozhong also fell into deep thought, and roughly looked at the sketch where Zhao Kuncheng's father died and the surrounding areas.

If the direction of the mountain is the Chisel Dragon Formation, it is very possible to place a platform in this terrain. Maybe it is what Old Liu Tou said... I didn't expect that Zhao Kuncheng's father would die in the hands of his own father.

…

"Okay, I'm going back. I don't want to listen to the nonsense you are talking about here..." Zhang Guoyi listened briefly and said nothing about the dead man. He only felt a chill on his neck. He took a drink of water and left in a hurry.

The next day, Zhang Guozhong suddenly found that a good-looking little girl came to help Zhang Yicheng with his homework. She said it was tutoring, but the only sound coming from the room was the sound of video games and laughter. It didn't sound like it.

studying.

"Good boy, I haven't learned much about serious things, but I have learned how to find someone..." Zhang Guozhong was really angry and happy. He was angry that his son showed signs of puppy love at a young age, but he was laughing because it seemed that his son was quite capable.

Charming, this little thing looks good. Ever since he came into contact with Qin Ge, Qi Shu and others, Zhang Guozhong's thoughts have been somewhat connected with the international trend. In addition, he is not very young, so he is still very interested in this kind of thing.

Opened.

Standing at the door of his son's house and about to knock on the door, Zhang Yicheng suddenly opened the door and asked, "Hey, Dad, what are you doing here pouting?"

"I...hey, I'm looking for something..." Zhang Guozhong was caught off guard.

"Just in time, I'm here to ask you something..." Zhang Yicheng dragged Zhang Guozhong into the room, "Let me introduce you, this is our class monitor, Liu Mengmeng, and this is my dad!"

"Hello, uncle, thank you uncle!" Liu Mengmeng stood up and bowed to Zhang Guozhong.

"This kid is quite polite..." Zhang Guozhong looked at Liu Mengmeng, he looked like a good student, "Hey, okay, okay, why...are you thanking me?"

"Zhang Yicheng helped my family a lot and saved my grandfather and I. He said that you taught us all those skills!" Liu Mengmeng said.

"What?" Zhang Guozhong was confused and looked at Zhang Yicheng, "What...is going on? What...what did I teach you?"

"Hey, forget it...! By the way, tell us how to look up this four-corner number* in a dictionary?" Zhang Yicheng took a dictionary and handed it to Zhang Guozhong, then turned to Liu Mengmeng and said, "My dad used to

He's a university professor, don't worry, there's nothing he doesn't know..."

Zhang Guozhong smiled bitterly. He had only been a technical secondary school teacher for two years. When did he go to teach in a university? How could this unlucky kid be as good at playing as his old man?

Taking the dictionary, Zhang Guozhong began to teach the two children about the four-corner number lookup method. As he was talking, an idea suddenly came to his mind. After he finished teaching the two children, he immediately ran to his room and dug out the former Hong Kong police

The book found in the safe at Zhao Kuncheng's home.

"Could it be that...this...is a dictionary?" Zhang Guozhong was confused for a while, and pulled out the silk that Zhao Le had hidden in his belly before, and began to check symbols one by one.

After about an afternoon, I finally got an idea. Zhang Guozhong was overjoyed. It turned out that this book was indeed a dictionary of death. With the help of this dictionary, Zhang Guozhong found the real cause of Zhao Le's death. The reason was related to himself.

It was completely different from what I had originally guessed.

The translation of the death sentence is as follows:

There are nine chisel dragons, and eight are broken. However, those with great righteousness must think far ahead, so I keep one of them until the great righteousness can use it, so that I can live up to the king of Han.

However, I sent a letter written by the King of Han and captured it to the eunuchs. I know that the deadline is not long, so I keep this formation map in my belly. If my descendants take it, if they defeat the real immortal, they will get the most precious treasure in the mountain. Gold and silver can be used for the country. If you succeed,

great cause!

"I wonder why Zhu Di didn't hesitate to move all the long hair that the Koreans paid tribute to!" Zhang Guozhong said with a smile on his face, "It turns out that he was also afraid that the 'King of Han' would usurp the throne after his death..." Seeing this, Zhang Guozhong started to think again.

After reading "Famous and Famous", I discovered that this "King of Han", Zhu Gaoxu*, who had rescued Zhu Di during the "Jingnan", rebelled in Le'an in the second year after Zhu Di's death, which was the first year of Xuande (1426 AD).

He colluded with the British Duke Zhang Fu as an internal agent, but was later defeated and was taken back to Beijing to be executed.

It turned out that Zhao Le had destroyed the Chilong Formation during his lifetime, but he colluded with the Han King Zhu Gaoxu to rebel and deliberately left a True Immortal Platform unbroken. He wanted to wait until Zhu Di died and leave the treasure to Zhu Gaoxu for his army. However, he was later killed.

Zhu Di was caught in the act and was punished by the nine tribes. According to the records in "Gongmingxu", Zhu Gaoxu had saved Zhu Di many times, and there were many party members in the court, so even if Zhu Di knew that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to rebel, he did not do anything to him.

Instead, he used the unlucky guy Zhao Le as a punching bag...

"I wrongly blamed Zhu Di..." At first, Zhang Guozhong thought that Zhu Di killed Zhao Le because he was selfish and did not want future generations to pick the fruits of his labor. Now it seems that Zhao Le really wanted to rebel. No wonder, on his coffin,

Zhu Di wants to carve a slightly ironic pattern like "dragon above and tiger below"...

Four-corner number: An early dictionary search method. Each stroke of a Chinese character is numbered. By combining the stroke numbers of the four corners of each character in order, the Chinese character can be found. Because it is difficult to master, so

It is rarely used now.

Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han: The uncle of Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. He had made military exploits during the "Jingnan" and rescued Zhu Di from danger many times. Then he was arrogant about his merits, became fierce and lawless, and tried to usurp the crown prince's position. On the sixth day of the first year of Hongxi (1425)

In August, he tried to ambush Xuanzong, but failed. On August 1, the first year of Xuande (1426), Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the earthquake in Beijing to rebel in Le'an (now northeast of Guangrao, Shandong), and established a royal military mansion, thousands of posts, and divided officials.

He was appointed and colluded with the British Duke Zhang Fu as an internal response. Under the advice of the great scholar Yang Rong, Xuanzong and Zhu Zhanji personally conquered Zhu Gaoxu. On the 8th, Xuanzong led his army to the expedition and arrived at the north of Le'an City on the 20th. The army surrounded the city.

The water was blocked, and Zhu Gaoxu's escort surrendered without a fight. On the 21st, Zhu Gaoxu surrendered, was deported back to the capital, imprisoned in the imperial city, and later executed.
