Three hundred years of fish scale book under Xuanwu Lake

Qing Quan took the people away. I don't understand why he stopped in the end. It was Lao He who gave the answer.

He told me that Han Sheng had taken advantage of his carelessness and injured his left hand with his elbow, so Qing Quan's left-handed sword could not exert its full strength. People like him were reluctant to fight Han Sheng to the death, and what he valued more was his ability in the arena. reputation.

A few years ago, his master broke his sword, and now he is exchanging one with his apprentice. If word spreads, it will never be clean. The second master is his inner demon. Han Sheng has dealt a big blow to him today. He will never be clean in the future. He will definitely find it again. If he doesn't win the Second Master's gun, he will never close his eyes until he dies.

Lao He took Zhao Min's pulse and said, "It's nothing serious. This girl has a good foundation." He turned around and called a waiter over, "Liuzi, go to the front hall to get some medicine. Old prescription, help this girl get through it. And You should also take a few doses of the medicine for bruises. Remember that Sichuan Aconite is slightly poisonous, so it takes 20 minutes longer to take it than ordinary medicine."

Liuzi nodded, and several of the guys helped each other down. I also carried Zhao Min back to the room, and called an aunt to come over and take care of her. She would call me as soon as she woke up.

When I returned to the front hall, Han Sheng was no longer there. I asked him where he was, and he said that Han Sheng should go back to rest first. If Han Sheng hadn't captured Qing Quan this time, he wouldn't have the shame to go down to see him. The second master.

I originally wanted to go directly to him, but when I thought that he must be exhausted after traveling all the way back, I stopped again. However, my heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. I desperately wanted to know what he had done since we separated. Everything I went through.

To be honest, I even thought that he would sleep forever below like the second master, but he appeared in front of me so unexpectedly and magically. I still vaguely remember him jumping off the cliff alone. The scene is a mission I cannot understand and a courage I can never achieve.

I looked through the patio into the sky, Han Sheng, how many secrets do you still carry?

Zhao Min woke up in the afternoon. After taking Lao He's prescription, he recovered. However, his complexion was still a little bad. However, Zhao Min said that he was fine. The punch caused the blood to temporarily block his chest before he fainted. , it'll be fine after a little rest.

She sat up leaning on the pillow and looked me up and down. I smiled and said, "No arms or legs missing. Han Sheng is back."

She nodded in realization and asked, "Did you win?"

"No, it's a tie."

I briefly told her what happened in the morning, and she frowned, was surprised, and finally lamented Han Sheng's horror.

She said: "Listening to what you said, I really admire him from the bottom of my heart. If you have never practiced martial arts, you don't understand. There is no trickery in kung fu. Every step is done for real. Qing Quan has such strength. Not bad, even top-notch. Over the years, my father and I have traveled all over the country. We have seen masters who are so perverted that they are outrageous, but we have only been lucky enough to meet three or five of them. Qing Quan is one , Han Sheng is definitely among them, but Han Sheng's age is unheard of."

Hearing this, my heart moved and I asked her: "Is there any other possibility?"

She changed her posture, stared at me and said, "Yes, that's talent. The fierceness of a green dog is the result of years of fighting. Han Sheng is definitely worthy of the word 'genius'."

I suddenly thought of something, which seemed to be a very crucial thing, but the feeling was just a little vivid and fleeting. Zhao Min saw that I was distracted, touched me and asked, "What?"

I shook my head, smiled, and replied, "It's nothing, I just remembered something."

It happened that the phone rang at this time. I picked it up and saw that it was Datou. I took it angrily and asked him: "Why didn't we make an appointment to go hiking, but we changed it to foot washing in the evening?"

He apologized quickly on the other end, "I'm wrong, I was too drunk last night. I didn't get up today, so you two went."

I originally wanted to tell him what happened in Longshan Pavilion in the morning and ask him if it was too unloyal for him to back down from the battle, but when I thought that even if this guy came, it would just be an extra sandbag for Qing Quan, so I told him not to go. Han Sheng came back. When he heard this, he shouted in surprise: "Really? It's really effective!"

I asked him in confusion what his spirit was.

He said that he accompanied a friend to a scenic spot a while ago, and there was a god inside. It seemed to be called Zhusheng Mama or Who's Mama. Seeing many people worshiping there, he followed and worshiped, and also donated five yuan. I prayed that Han Sheng would come back safely, but I didn't expect it to be true.

After hearing the curse, I angrily said that the mother is the god who governs fertility, you are a fool, and he even said that maybe she is a neighbor of other gods and helped him convey his good wishes and so on. .

I told him to get lost, but he said it was too late and he would come over to see Han Sheng tomorrow, so we hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I peeled an apple for Zhao Min and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your help today. If it weren't for you, even if Han Sheng came back, we would have had Qing Quan repair it all."

She showed a little tiredness, flattened the pillow and lay down, saying softly: "You are the only friend I have."

For no reason, the softest part of my heart was touched by these words, neither light nor serious. Looking at the weak Zhao Min, I suddenly remembered a sentence I heard somewhere, which said that people are like a lamp. , there must be something to miss when you are alive, maybe she regarded me as her miss for this strange world.

I tried my best to show a gentle smile, pulled the quilt up his upper body, and said softly: "You rest first, we will climb Xiangshan Mountain when you feel better."

I helped Zhao Min turn off the light, left the room and went straight to the backyard. Lao He was sitting alone in a small pavilion drinking tea. When he saw me coming, he asked with concern: "How is the little girl?"

I said: "It should be nothing serious. The medicine is quite effective. Thank you, Uncle He."

"Hey, don't say that. No matter what you are arguing about, you are always standing up for Longshan Pavilion. Besides, I think this girl has a good impression of you. Don't you worry about it?"

I got a headache when Old He said this, so I quickly poured him a cup of tea, "Uncle He, drink tea, drink tea."

He took the tea cup and said without stopping, "You are now a grown man. It's time to think about continuing the family lineage."

I glanced behind me a few times, and Lao He took a sip of tea and said, "Don't look, he must have fallen asleep. He was tired all the way, and fighting Qing Quan, which consumed a lot of money. I just ordered someone to send him off." I went in to order food and found that I wasn't awake yet."

I said oh and absent-mindedly drank tea with Lao He. After a while, I suddenly remembered something and asked: "Uncle He, do you know the 'stone man' that guy mentioned this morning?"

"Stone man, stone man" Lao He muttered while searching his memory.

"Yes, the guy just said something when he was interrupted by Qing Quan, 'The stone man has three eyes.'" I added.

"The stone man has three eyes." Lao He squinted his eyes, suddenly patted his knee, and said excitedly: "I remembered, the stone man has three eyes."

I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that Lao He really had a clue here, so I asked, "How do you say it?"

Lao He said: "Why does it sound so familiar to me? The second master also said this earlier. That's right. Now that I think about it, it was from then on that the second master started preparing to go to the ground again."

"You mean, the secret of the stone man is related to my father?"

He nodded and said, "It's very possible."

I continued to ask: "Uncle He, do you still remember where the second master heard that sentence?"

"It's a long story. Do you know about the treasure house of Xuanwu Lake in Ming Dynasty?" Lao He suddenly asked without starting or ending.

I shook my head and said, "I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't know much about it."

Lao He said: "During the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, there was an extremely mysterious area that was forbidden to outsiders. Even powerful officials and dignitaries had never set foot in it, and that was Xuanwu Lake. Ever since Lao Zhu became the emperor, The Hou Lake was sealed off for three hundred years, and the reason was very simple: Huang Ceku was built on the island in the lake starting from Zhu Yuanzhang."

"What is the yellow book? It is the current household registration, acres of land, taxation, population, grain and grass, water conservancy, minerals, foreign texts, etc. Basically, it contains the data of the world. As long as Lao Zhu wants to know something, he will send someone Once you investigate, you will know everything in the world."

I thought to myself that this old guy is awesome. No wonder the cowherd boy conquered the world. There will be big data in the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times when transportation and communication were inconvenient, this was simply a powerful tool for governing the world.

Lao He took a sip of tea and continued: "However, this Huangceku did not last long. The emperors of the subsequent generations of the Zhu family did not pay attention to it. Of course, it also had its own shortcomings, which we will not talk about. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty. , government affairs, those yellow books were lost and infested with insects, no one took care of them regularly, and the early yellow books were corrupted on a large scale. By the time the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and conquered Nanjing City, there were not many yellow books left on Xuanwu Lake. ."

"Moreover, there was an inexplicable fire on Xuanwu Lake at that time. You have to know that there was a ban in the Ming Dynasty. Cooking smoke was prohibited on the island, and even during the rainy season, people were not allowed to bake fires. At that time, many people also got typhoid fever, just to prevent fires. , but the fire came out of nowhere, and most of the remaining yellow books were burned to ashes, and the remaining small part was lost among the people. At that time, the second master got an original copy of the fish scale book by chance. "

"Fish scale book?" I asked.

"It is also a kind of yellow book. It records the direction and location of mountains, rivers, and historical sites. Because it looks like fish scales, it is called a fish scale book. Although it is not complete, it is also very detailed."

I have basically sorted through the things that the second master left behind. Although I haven't had time to look at some of the contents in detail, there is absolutely no such thing as a fish scale book. Could it be that the second master didn't leave it behind? Suddenly, I remembered something. At that time, Han Sheng and I were still living in the old house in Jishuitan. The house was sneaked into by someone with ominous intentions. Now I think about it, whether the fish scale book was taken away by him.

In a daze, I heard Lao He say, "The fish scale book that the second master got is quite special, and he discovered the key to it at a glance."
