Chapter 133 Xuanyuan II
The carriage traveled for a few more days, and there was no major disturbance along the way.
Chen Chrome followed Li Xinglan all the way, full of curiosity, but his brain capacity was really small.Li Xinglan had no choice but to answer every question. In the face of masculinity, Chen He had to open his eyelids no matter what, making him dizzy every day, as if he had made up for three years of lessons in one go.
However, in the final analysis, after learning so many strange abilities, what he does most often is just to blow out a breath to form a spiritual pillow, put it under his head to doze off, and look like his kidneys are overactive.
In the dream, if one didn't pay attention, the aura shattered, and the back of the head hit the ground heavily, knocking out a bump.
Chen Ru rubbed his head, and said in a daze, "Do you think there will be a South Sea Crocodile God? He saw that the back of my head was growing well, so he accepted me as his apprentice, but I fell into the cave and ate a zombie bird. Go to Li Ruotong's same ball joint doll..."
Li Xinglan squeezed his head, thoughtfully, and said: "That Kunpeng didn't appear naturally, it was created out of thin air. I was thinking, maybe you gathered too much spiritual energy and turned a certain A wild goose flying south was catalyzed to mutate. But why is it this one?"
As soon as Chen Chrome thought about it, his head fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, and he cried out in pain: "Hiss! If you say that, you can't play casually after that. Who knows... who knows what kind of monsters will be catalyzed."
Li Xinglan shook his head and frowned: "There must be rules to follow."
As if paralyzed, Chen Chrome squirmed and let himself lean against the carriage body, not even bothering to move his fingers.
Looking at Li Xinglan carefully, he found that his appearance has actually changed a bit, the outline is sharper, the beautifully shaped eyes are deeper, the skin has become a lighter wheat color, the whole person looks handsome and healthy, as if blindfolded. A layer of gentle sunshine.
She couldn't help reaching out to touch the corners of his eyes, eyebrows, and thin lips.
Three years ago, Chen Chrome fell in a cave on the cliff of Xiaoshan, and crashed into the arms of a half-dead man with a scarred face.Now, he almost forgot what that man with scars and terrifying face looked like.
Three years later, Li Xinglan was only 25 years old.If it was in the previous world, this age should be a stunned young man who has just graduated and struggled in society.
But Li Xinglan is different, he has always possessed a sense beyond his age, he likes to solve puzzles, ask the bottom line, always thinking, and has a lot of things on his mind.Therefore, although his appearance is handsome and young, there is always a sense of stability that has gone through vicissitudes.
It is easy to be ignored by people's age, and it is easy to be ignored by people's feelings.
Chen Chrome thought about it, feeling sour, and said to him, "Handsome guy, don't think so much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't force yourself, I feel sorry for you."
Hearing this, Li Xinglan suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen He for two seconds, then smiled at him, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
At that moment, Chen Rue suddenly felt a fear and annoyance of "eternal life". If Li Xinglan was gone, what would he be doing alive?
"My lord, Gong County is ahead."
The carriage stopped slowly, and the chief warrior of Qi State who was driving made a "sigh" and reported to the inside through the curtain.
Li Xinglan took out a parchment scroll, handed it to him, and ordered: "The whole team will go to the city to rest for a day, and set off the next day, and take our document."
The city's defenses were loose, and the guards confirmed that they were correct, so they let everyone in.
The carriage swayed and the curtains were raised.
Chen Chrome poked his head out and saw the moss-covered city wall behind him, the deformed watchtower, the dirty and muddy street, and the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there was rarely a smile on his face.
After the heavy rain, everything was even more desolate, and the streets and markets were silent, except for the state of Qi's horse-drawn carriages rumbling through the city.
The curtains fell, obscuring the view.
"Gong County used to be the old capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It was very prosperous 200 years ago." Li Xinglan saw that Chen He was curious, so he lifted the curtains for him and introduced to him, "There is a palace in the east. The high platform once stored the Jiuding of the Zhou Dynasty, as a symbol of their aspirations to the Central Plains."
Chen Ru was a little puzzled: "Eastern Zhou, is it now Western Zhou? Now is the Warring States period, I don't understand. Isn't the country already divided?"
Li Xinglan touched Chen Chrome's head. The latter's face was flushed. He had already done what he should and shouldn't do, but every time Li Xinglan hit him with a head-touching kill, he could always poke him accurately. Hit the key, hit double crit.
Chen Ru was distracted, and he opened his mouth to bite Li Xinglan's finger.
Li Xinglan blushed instantly after being bitten by Chen Rue, coughed, but did not dare to pull out his fingers, pretended to look around, and told him: "800 years ago, it was the time of the Battle of Muye's 'Conferred God'. The Zhou Dynasty was established and the capital was Haojing. 500 years ago, King You of Zhou played with the princes, abolished the queen, and abolished the prince. The Quanrong people cooperated with the queen's father, Shenhou, and fought all the way to the king's capital, killing Zhou in Lishan. King You."
Chen Chrome finally let go of Li Xinglan's fingers, nodded, and said, "You should kill me. Is there any reason to find Xiaosan and not have a wife?"
"Your focus, baby." Li Xinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Every time Chen He commented on things, he always couldn't grasp the key points. "Shen Hou supported the deposed prince as King Ping of Zhou, and moved the capital to Luoyi with the ministers. , which was known in history as 'Ping Wang moved to the east'. After that, the royal power declined, and the Zhou Dynasty could no longer rule the various vassal states. The Western Zhou Dynasty ended and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began."
Chen Chrome: "Isn't the prince the son of King Zhou You? He came to inherit the throne. Why do you say that the Western Zhou Dynasty is over?"
Li Xinglan: "Because the Marquis of Shen communicated with foreign countries and supported the abolition of the prince, the princes suspected that he was actually committing rebellion and deliberately seeking to usurp the throne. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty during the period of King Zhou Ping was no longer recognized by the world, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty continued. to 20 years ago."
Chen Chrome: "But you said that Gong County is the former capital of Zhou State."
Li Xinglan: "King Zhou Kao entrusted his younger brother to Luoyang and established the Zhou Kingdom. This is a vassal state. Don't you often say princes and nobles? King Zhou Kao is the king, and the ruler of the Zhou Kingdom is Duke Huan of Zhou."
Chen Chrome: "Understood, so what? I find that you are like this every time. When you are nervous, you especially like to tell me those things that I think are very powerful even though I can't understand them."
Li Xinglan laughed: "No! Why am I so nervous?"
Chen Chrome smirked: "You are afraid that I will be dissatisfied with your desires, and you will strip your clothes and play with you. So you have been diverting my attention. I also know how to be restrained, okay? Gavin told me that one day should not be too much , Seven or eight times is just right, too much and you will die from exhaustion."
Li Xinglan's breath stopped, and he finally found the source of the problem: "So he told you? Baby, under normal circumstances, four or five times is enough, but as long as you like it, it's fine."
Chen Chrome blushed: "Didn't you say it earlier?"
Li Xinglan breathed out, kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile: "I like it too, don't doubt your wife's ability, I am not diverting your attention. Do you know? The biggest winner must have left a lot of magic weapons in their hands. Among them, the Xuanyuan Sword must be in the hands of their royal family. I still remember the Kanyu map, the Xuanyuan Sword is in the Heluo area."
Chen Chrome nodded: "Yes, you suspect it is in Gong County, why?"
Li Xinglan: "That's why I said Zhou State. After Eastern Zhou divided Zhou State, Zhou State was divided again because of two princes vying for the throne. The capital of Western Zhou State was Luoyang, and the capital of Eastern Zhou State was Gong County. By this time Well, all the jurisdiction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was occupied by the State of Zhou, so it basically existed in name only. Emperor Zhou had no place to live, so he could only hang out with the State of Eastern Zhou, and it was in this place.”
Chen Chrome: "Shall we go directly to the place where Emperor Zhou lives to find it, and go into the house and ask him to borrow it."
Li Xinglan: "The emperor of Zhou is no longer here. After the death of King Nan of Zhou, the state of Qin took away the Jiuding stored in Gyeonggi. King Zhaowen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not dare to ascend the throne and become king. He failed to unite with the princes to attack Qin. returned to Qin."
Chen Chrome: "My wife, when I discuss issues, I prefer to listen to the conclusion directly. The Zhou Dynasty is gone, and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty is gone. How else can I find it?"
Li Xinglan: "So I checked secretly in the state of Qin in the past few days, and found that when Lu Buwei annexed the state of Zhou, he did not kill Lord Zhaowen, but moved him to Daoyang and became the former king of the Zhou Dynasty. Let's keep the sacrifice."
Chen Chrome: "Understood. Tonight, let's go to the palace where Jiuding was placed in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If there is no one, go to Yang Renju and ask Zhao Wenjun. Anyway, we are dealing with Qin, and he will definitely help us. Yes Yes, is that far away?"
Li Xinglan showed hesitation on his face: "It's not far away, but it's unlikely that a declining royal family still holds the Xuanyuan Sword. Let's look for it now in Gong County, then go to Luoyang, and finally go to Yangrenju .”
Chen Chrome knew what he was thinking, and said, "It's inconvenient for you to bring too many people. I'll go with Yuan Jiawen and Brother Chen, and you will go with Dan Zhu, let him protect you. I'm not saying you need protection, but Ruan Professor...he is not in good health, so let's go with you too. There is also Juzi of the Mo family, the two of them, I don't think they are very good at getting along with them."
Li Xinglan: "I can let the caravan go back by itself."
Chen Chrome: "We all have our own things to do. You have worked hard for so long and put so much effort into gaining a firm foothold in this world. You have a group of followers by your side. Apart from making money lobbying against zombies, Also let them survive and live. Don't always think it's all for me, there are more things in the world that you like and dedicate to.
"Brother, I hope you can face up to what you have done. Each of them is affecting the history of mankind and changing the fate of everyone. Everything has its own meaning, and your own value exists in it. Li Be it Xinglan or Wang Shuai, it is what you do that determines who you are, not your past.
"You're an amazing person, don't always feel that nothing is meaningless. I need you, the world needs you more, you need to admit yourself. God, I don't know what I'm talking about, I just... I just ..."
Li Xinglan: "I understand."
"I love you, Chen Chrome."
Li Xinglan lowered his head and hugged Chen He. The two lovers leaned on each other, casting a warm shadow on the gauze, like two birds with their feathers furled.
Two days later, Yuan Jiawen's Chen He walked out of the ruined Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the palace first, but returned without success.
Chen Chrome: "There is nothing in there, the furniture has been emptied by others, only the stone slabs, rusted bronzes, and weeds burst out from the cracks in the floor. It will probably collapse in a few years."
Yuan Jiawen was listless, and with some vague disappointment, he said casually: "Isn't there a saying in your China that people should drink tea? That's it."
Li Xinglan: "Then, our next action plan: Juzi, Ruan Linzhou, Dan Zhu, and I will bring the caravan back to Qi. Our cooperation with Xianyang has been negotiated, and we must proceed to the next step immediately. Chen Chrome, Beichen, Yuan Jiawen, you go to Luoyang together."
Zhong Ji frowned, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ruan is not in good health, he should go with the caravan. But Chen He, you are not familiar with the terrain and folk customs of the Heluo area. I have the Meng family's talisman in my hand. Or if people gather in the sun, they can pass without hindrance."
Li Xinglan kept looking at him, then at Chen He, and seeing that the other party had no objection, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, then trouble Juzi."
Chen Chrome thought for a while: "Brother Chen, don't come with us. If you follow Li Xinglan, I don't think Danzhu is reliable. Ahhhhh forget it, I'll listen to you."
Li Xinglan: "I'm not in danger in the court of Qi State, and Bei Chen doesn't need to follow. But I have a hunch that your operation will not go well this time, I hope it's just me who is too worried."
Chen chrome: "I'm going to do it anyway, let's go!"
With a wave of his arms, Zhong Ji, Yuan Jiawen, and Bei Chen came out sparsely, and went back to their rooms in the inn to pack their things.
Danzhu lightly touched the door of Zhong Ji's room, knocked twice, then slipped in and stood behind Zhong Ji, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
He didn't want others to see him sad, so he still kept his appearance, staring stupidly.
Zhong Ji turned around and asked, "Chen He? No, you are Dan Zhu. What's the matter?"
Danzhu faltered, and finally said: "Let me... look at your bow, do you know... there is a spirit in it?"
Zhong Ji generously gave Dan Zhu his divine bow. Seeing that he looked weak, he feared that he might not be able to handle it, so he placed it on the case table and let him watch it, saying: "If you accidentally get blood, you have to peek into it. In the illusion, it seems that a woman has sealed her soul inside. What is it?"
Danzhu let out a breath, frowned and remained silent.
After a long time, he knelt down in front of the table and kowtowed nine times to the divine bow until his head was bleeding, and he called out with a heavy sadness, "Sister."
Zhong Ji changed into a light black linen suit and fastened the leather protective gear.Seeing Dan Zhu's distraught appearance, he stepped forward to persuade him, patted him on the back, and said: "Chunhu, is that woman your elder sister?"
With tears in his eyes, Dan Zhu nodded: "My father, Tang Yao, has a female pure fox, and his elder sister has a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance. He is a gentleman. He wanted Dayi to deal with the evil monsters and calm the world, so he married his elder sister to him. Fortunately, his brother-in-law is also considered a a hero."
"Three Emperors and Five Emperors, are you Tang Yao's only son?" Zhong Ji gasped, feeling a little overwhelmed, but still believed in Danzhu, and said, "I have heard that Chang'e stole the elixir of longevity, I don't want to see it with my own eyes. But this is the reason, which is embarrassing.”
Danzhu said "here" and said: "Three emperors and five emperors, it's nothing special, isn't it because they were plotted by others, and finally the family was ruined? Sigh, sister is all for me."
Zhong Ji: "The eldest sister is like a mother, and the elder brother is like a father. They are always like this, and they love the younger brother as if they are their own children. If you are still alive, Chunhu will not die in vain."
Danzhu shook his head, stroked his bow with his palms, got up and left immediately, and said: "You are a good man, Mohist. I know what happened to you, and it is embarrassing. You should know that life is only a hundred years, and the most important thing is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. , the word 'ren' is the most precious."
Zhong Ji's heart skipped a beat twice as if someone had seen through the secret: "I know."
Danzhu: "When I was cutting down three seedlings and stationed in the southern border, I saw that people in the wilderness were completely naked, and even drank blood as bare as hair. Although many of them offended the Central Plains and disrespected the king's authority, they couldn't survive. Do you know what the emperor and Lao Tzu are? After incorporating Sanmiao, I felt that they were all my people, and my father’s country belonged to him. And my position was in Sanmiao, so I opposed him many times. Later, in a fit of anger, he said some nonsense that he wanted to surrender to Yao Chonghua, and since then... In short, I have never regretted it in my heart."
Zhong Ji completely heard that there was something in his words, and he was struggling in his heart, so he asked again: "Since you know what I think, why..."
"Who has no doubts in his heart?" Dan Zhu pushed open the door, and a ray of sunlight came in, "You and Chen Ruo went to search for the Xuanyuan Sword, and after staying with him for a while, you will know that our purpose is the same, it is for the common people, It's not the world. I hope that next time I see you, I can think clearly."
Zhong Ji: "Wait, thank you, why are you talking to me?"
Danzhu: "That bow is yours, sister's remnant soul recognizes you."
Zhong Ji looked down at the longbow in his hand and sighed.
Ruan Linzhou walked into the room and pushed open a small window next to the back door.
Outside the window, a golden goose is hiding on a tree, camouflaging withered yellow leaves, with its wings tightly curled up.
Ruan Linzhou was very speechless: "It's been almost a month, you don't have to guard me anymore, just let them go, keep that boy safe."
Jin Yan didn't move, but blinked.
Ruan Linzhou took out a small metal cylinder and threw it over: "It will take time to cure the Gu poison on your body. Recently, there are not enough herbs on hand. We will wait until the state of Qi. You hold on to it first."
Jin Yan raised his head, firmly held the small cylinder with his long beak, and said, "Keep that boy safe, and the rest, whatever? Then I'll kill it?"
"If you find the magic weapon, don't let it fall into the hands of others."
Ruan Linzhou ignored him and closed the window with a bang, the golden goose flapped its wings and flew away, throwing the small cylinder in the air.
Yuan Jiawen was walking on the road, it was too hot, so he pulled off the bamboo hat to fan the wind.Unexpectedly, a small cylinder fell from the sky, smashing him to the point of staring at his eyes: "My God!"
Chen Chrome laughed loudly, curiously picked up the thing from the ground, and found the problem: "This looks really familiar, sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Yuan Jiawen rubbed the bag on his head, and his eyes keenly caught a golden goose quickly sneaking into the jungle.Jinyu Firebird, is it intentional or unintentional?
Chen Chrome brought the small metal cylinder in front of Yuan Jiawen, allowing him to see the repeated patterns and precise spiral openings on it. After unscrewing it, he found some small white pills inside.
Yuan Jiawen seemed to be talking to himself: "Xinzheng, on the Xinzheng battlefield, when I was cleaning up Jiang's body, I found this. How did it fall from the sky?"
Chen Chrome: "Now there are golden geese everywhere in the sky. After all, it is the sphere of influence of the Qin State. Forget it, let's go quickly."
Zhong Ji only glanced at the Kanyu map, and then took Chen He and others straight to Luoyang, saying that it was Luoyang, which was still called "Henan" at that time.Chen Chrome couldn't recognize the direction at all, and felt that Zhong Ji was still reliable at this time, so he didn't say anything, and followed him on the road day and night.
In the old capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was only a ruined wall, the ancestral hall was covered with moss, the gate was also demolished, and the plaques and other objects seemed to have been turned into a firewood in someone's stove.
It is also embarrassing to think that a large country that has stretched for nearly a thousand years has fallen apart like this.
Zhong Ji led Chen He, Bei Chen, and Yuan Jiawen to linger in the city for an afternoon, and finally waited until nightfall to go straight to the ancestral hall of the Zhou royal family.
It was pitch black on both sides of the road, except for the largest palace, which was filled with a wall of memorial tablets, hundreds of ever-burning lamps flickered, and there was only a small puddle of lamp oil left, which was almost extinguished.
The shadows of the four people hit the wall tens of meters high, and were magnified into deformed monsters.
Because the shadow was too huge, they made their figures as small as mice, wandering around in every corner of the room, searching for the secrets that had been dusty for many years.
Seeing the mess of the place, Chen Chrome immediately felt that there was no hope: "The power of the masses is the greatest, sister-in-law, I guarantee that the people of Luoyang have swept up this former residence of feudal slave owners more than a hundred times."
Beichen laughed loudly, making the atmosphere in the ancestral hall even more weird: "Extremely extreme! The bowls where the joss sticks were placed were all taken away. The Xuanyuan Sword was probably used as a fire stick in someone's kitchen, and swept across the stove with one sword." The firewood, turned into powder, broke off at the waist, with an overwhelming aura of scumbags. That Ji Xuanyuan..."
Zhong Ji, who has a firm orthodox view of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, wiped his sweat in embarrassment and looked around to avoid these two psychopaths with weird smiles.
Yuan Jiawen didn't know why, but he was very keen on this treasure-hunting game, and now he had flown to a beam more than ten meters high, and his nose was ashamed.
The whole person is finally not so white and scary.
Chen Chrome shrugged, and found a huge bronze box under the stone table where the incense was enshrined. One forcefully pulled the box open, and it was filled with lamp oil.
He looked at the burning lamps in the room that were almost exhausted, shook his head and sighed, found a few broken bowls, and simply started to add oil to the burning lamps.
Huge walls, hundreds of memorial tablets, and a long burning lamp in front of them are scattered here and there.
Chen Chrome's speed was as fast as a hurricane, and his voice was as fast as thunder. With a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, he filled up the rows of long-burning lights in twos and threes, and straightened the raised lamp holders.
"It's over, haven't you found it yet?"
Chen Ru shook the broken bowl, sat down on the ground, wiped his sweat lazily, looked around, finally landed on a tablet, and said doubtfully: "It seems not symmetrical, there is no light next to that tablet. People nowadays Really, you want to steal even the lamp?"
That being said, there are no extra lamp sockets in the house.
Chen Chrome used that broken bowl to fill a bowl of kerosene. He found a wick on the ground and inserted it into it. ... Wang ... Chang?"
"King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang." Beichen walked up to Chen Chrome with a straw in his mouth, rubbed his two fingers, and a little spark appeared on his fingertips, "You are boring enough, people die and become ashes, three souls Returning to Lingshan, why leave a lamp?"
"Whoa-!"
Beichen lit Chen Chrome's homemade long-burning lamp, and the flames shot into the sky, as if what they were holding was a flamethrower.
After the blaze flourished, it suddenly returned to calm, like the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Beichen held the broken bowl and walked around the queue a few times, thinking about where to put it.
Chen Ru felt baffled, and said, "Just arrange it according to others, are they all on the right side?"
Beichen sneered: "He has a strange temper and never plays cards according to common sense. Taiji Liangyi Bagua Sixiang should be in this position."
After finishing speaking, he jumped in the air and placed the ever-burning lamp heavily behind the right back of King Wen's rank.
After hearing a "kuang", a circular imprint appeared on the stone slab with no gaps at all, and King Wen's ranking was on it.
The imprint was a solid circle at first, then it became deeper and deeper, and finally it started to rotate clockwise, without sound, rising more than four feet from the stone slab.
Chen Rue shouted happily: "There is a long box, and there is even a mechanism. Brother Chen, you know it all?! Do you know him?"
Beichen took out the wooden box, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Don't look at it, it's hollow."
Everyone ran over and was disappointed to see that there was nothing in the box.
Beichen: "It was only when I walked in that I remembered that I had met King Wen in the past. It's not me who knows, but you. Respect ghosts and gods, respect ancestors, and be in awe of heaven and earth. Naturally, heaven and earth treat you differently. Let's go!"
Chen Chrome put the box back carefully, and suddenly thought of something, took out a piece of lambskin from his bosom, mobilized his spiritual energy, and wrote a few words on it, "three missing one".Then fold it and stick it in the box, put him back respectfully, and said with a smile, "I'll find you a poker friend."
Bei Chen, Zhong Ji, Yuan Jiawen: "..."
It vividly explains what the road ends with the goal.
