Half fairy

Chapter 70 The Secret of Calligraphy and Painting

He is very familiar with this metal shaft, and he can't even remember the pattern on it, because he also has one.

There are two of these objects, which were built by Ajiezhang, the leader of Yubu, who ordered them to be built. One was in Ajiezhang's hands, and the other was given to him for safekeeping.

Zhong Su took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Yu Qing was slightly surprised. He felt that when the bellman received this object, his hands seemed to tremble a little, and doubts flashed in his heart.
On second thought, it might be because it was a dowry gift for his own daughter.

But a doubt that once had in my heart flashed once again. How could these two families use a broken painting as a dowry for their children's life-long event?Especially with the identity of Ajiezhang back then.

From Zhong Su's reaction, he vaguely felt that the painting might not be that simple.

He couldn't help thinking of Ash Heng's repeated explanations that the painting could not be lost. He felt that Ash Heng seemed to be hiding something from himself.

After flipping through the pages, Zhong Su twisted off a lid and poured out a half-picture that was light and thin like silk. He knew that there should be no mistake just from the texture of the canvas.Spreading out his hands and looking at the painting again, his eyes became more and more splendid. That's right, it was the other half of the cut-out painting he had seen before, there was nothing wrong with it.

The other half was already in his hands, and now both of them are in his hands.

He was restrained on the surface, but his heart was actually surging with excitement.

In addition to being excited, I sighed again and again, and sighed again and again.

Others don't know the meaning of this calligraphy and painting, but he knows it clearly.

It is precisely because of this painting and calligraphy that he came together with Ajiezhang, the former Yubu Langzhong.

At that time, A Jiezhang was in charge of the Yu Department, and his power was flourishing, and he was just a small merchant. It is reasonable to say that it is difficult for the two of them to have any relationship. superior.

Because he inherited his wife's family business at that time, and some rumors were not pleasant, he was unwilling to just guard Wen's shop, so he tried his best to get on the line of the Ministry of Industry, and finally got his job from the Ministry of Industry. I got some small-scale work and organized a group of people to often go to the mountains. It was only then that I came into contact with Yubu.

One day, his work team suddenly received an urgent call from the Ministry of Yu, and several other teams were called at the same time. Only after arriving at the scene did they know that A Jiezhang, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Yu, had also come from the capital, and he was also there. There are many people from Sinan House.

Afterwards, a group of people followed the instructions and entered the depths of a dangerous mountain. Only after arriving at the location did they realize that they were going to dig an ancient tomb.

But after digging out the epitaph, he found out that the person buried here was actually a former general. He didn't know how these people in the capital found clues to the ancient tomb in such a hidden place. In short, digging the tomb must be done by them. After digging out the entrance and entering the tomb, it was discovered that it was like an underground labyrinth.

However, what surprised him was that there were demons guarding the tomb in the ancient tomb.

Afterwards, what he experienced was the terror that Zhong Su would never forget in his life. There were constant screams of fighting, or terrifying sounds, and people kept falling down, which almost scared him out of his wits. Live, all dead.

He also thought that he was doomed, and he didn't know how he came out alive in the end. In short, he ran away when he saw that he felt that the way to survive was completely based on instinct and feeling. In the end, he really fell out of a deep pit in a daze. crawled out.

However, as soon as he climbed out of the pit, he witnessed an unimaginable scene. A person from the Sinan Mansion seemed to have been seriously injured. He had apparently just escaped from the underground. He was holding a long bronze box in his hand and was facing A Jiezhang who was waiting outside. Report the situation, say that if you find it, you can notify everyone to retreat.

As a result, A Jiezhang took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly stabbed the seriously injured Sinan mansion to death.

The latter, who was caught off guard, hurriedly counterattacked, and also slapped Ajiezhang out and vomited blood.

And that Sinan manor also fell precariously into the deep pit below, and was penetrated by a stalagmite.

He Zhong Su was really stunned, he didn't expect to see this scene.

And A Jiezhang also saw him, got up with his sword, and walked towards him.

He felt something was wrong, frightened, and ran away naturally.

A Jiezhang was seriously injured, he couldn't catch up with him in the rugged mountainous area, and couldn't silence him, so he called him to stop and told him something.

It's about this tomb.

There have always been rumors in the practice world that there are several blessed places in the world where immortals live, and one of them is called 'Little Cloud Room'.

Legend has it that before returning to the fairyland, the fairy in "Xiaoyunjian" dismissed the maid who served him, and the maid married a general after returning to the world.Later, the maid contracted a serious illness, and before she died, she revealed that she had served the immortals in the past, and gave the general a painting and calligraphy, saying that this painting was a map drawn by her, and according to the map, she could find "Xiao Yunjian" 'where.Afterwards, there was a war of subjugation, the great general died in battle, and his confidantes who followed him in the bloody battle robbed his body and risked their lives to break out of the siege. After that, no one knew where the great general was buried.

It is rumored that the calligraphy and painting that can find the blessed land of Xianjiadong has been buried with the general.

It is said that the source of the rumors came from the confidant of the general who buried the general. Before his death, he told his descendants the secret, but the descendants became greedy and could not achieve it alone. When looking for someone to cooperate, the secret leaked out.

Because of this rumor, those looking for the remains of the Immortal family all want to find the tomb of the general, and the best way is to find those who participated in the burial of the general.

After that, no one knows whether anyone has found the burial place of the general. As the years go by, the rumor has become a legend circulating in the world.

Hearing this, Zhong Su had probably guessed who the ancient tomb dug this time belonged to.

Sure enough.

The ancient tomb that was annihilated for a long time, all traces have been dusted. Ajiezhang said that he did not know where the Sinan mansion was dug up to find the clues. He actually found the ancient tomb, which means that the rumors are very likely to be true. of.

Judging from the excavation, there are demons quietly guarding the tomb in the ancient tomb, which is obviously abnormal. Ajiezhang suspects that the general has been to the 'Xiaoyunjian' before his death.What's more, the Sinan mansion personnel who came out of the tomb had already found the calligraphy and painting accompanying the burial.

Because of this, Ajiezhang killed the Sinan manor and killed him!
Just because Ajiezhang didn't want the dug up calligraphy and painting to spread again to bring disaster to the country and the people, he has been in Yubu for many years, and he knows how laborious and costly this kind of search is.

Zhong Su was puzzled at the time, and asked, since this is the case, let the emperor find the longevity art, and naturally there is no need to waste people and money to find it in the future, isn't it a good thing?
Ajiezhang said that what he thought was too simple, saying that if the emperor lived forever, the father and son of the royal family would kill each other, and the royal family of Jin Kingdom would be the target of public criticism.

Ajiezhang asserted that if the emperor could live forever, it would be the beginning of the chaos in Jin Kingdom, and countless people would fall into a catastrophe!
In short, Ajiezhang couldn't kill Zhong Su because of his injuries, and he didn't want Zhong Su to reveal the secret, so he had to negotiate the terms with Zhong Su, and later concealed the secret together.

Later, the legend of the ancient tomb may just be a legend. Later, more people from Sinan Mansion came to fight with the evil spirits in the tomb. After searching the ancient tomb, the legendary treasure map was not found. .

Fortunately, this kind of thing seems to be commonplace in Sinan Mansion. After so many years of verification of various clues, this is often the case. How can there be such an easy-to-find fairyland, but it would be a pity to waste those efforts.

Later, Zhong Su got a promise from Ajiezhang in return.

A businessman does not have to have smooth sailing or strong ability to make a fortune. Sometimes only one chance in a lifetime is enough.

Under Ajiezhang's quiet arrangement, Zhong Su naturally got that chance to change his fate.

His wife Wen Jianhui didn't know about these things, nor would she tell her.

And in order to appease Zhong Su, and also for the peace of mind on both sides, Ajiezhang did not hesitate to sacrifice his honor to marry his own son and Zhong Su's daughter.

That calligraphy and painting was also divided into two at that time.

Participating in such a secret, Zhong Su had no choice but to hide it for many years without reporting it.

But at that time, in order to change the fate, it was a sacrifice, and it was too late to regret after getting what I wanted.

Seeing this half of the painting again at this time, the past is vivid in his mind, how could Zhong Su not be overwhelmed with emotion.

This is also equivalent to a token, which is equivalent to confirming the identity of 'Ashiheng'.

Although he could pass the Liezhou Township Exam, Liezhou must have checked the authenticity of the identity of 'Ashiheng', but he felt completely at ease when he saw this thing. After all, it was impossible for Ajiezhang to tell others the secret of this thing.

After reading and confirming half of the calligraphy and painting, Zhong Su put it back into the metal shaft, and then stuffed it into his sleeve, and finally he was able to speak confidently, "Shiheng, you know about the engagement, and you also take the initiative to deliver the dowry to your door. Now, since I have an appointment with your father, I will not break my promise. Well, your parents are gone, we will take care of some things for you. We adults will take care of the marriage of your younger generation. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Let your young couple choose an auspicious day to get married."

"..." Yu Qing's head buzzed, a little stunned, and blurted out: "So soon?"

What do you mean?Zhong Su's face was instantly ugly, "Is it wrong to you?"

As soon as Yu Qing said that, he realized that he had said something stupid, and quickly changed his words: "Uncle, this is not what my little nephew means, what my little nephew means is that my little nephew has achieved nothing so far, and I am really ashamed. It's not too late to marry your love."

It turned out that he felt that he was not worthy of it, Zhong Su's face turned slightly pale, and he asked lightly, "Then when do you think you will be able to be named in the gold medal list?"

Yu Qing said embarrassedly: "This... Little nephew doesn't know for the time being, but little nephew will definitely try his best."

Zhong Su said in a deep voice: "You mean, if you fail the exam in one class, my daughter will wait for you for another three years? If you fail in the tenth class, is it possible that my daughter will have to wait for you for 30 years? With Ruochen Girls of the same age have children all over the place. How many girls in their late twenties have you seen who are not married yet? If you think my daughter is not good enough for you, you can directly point it out, I will never force you! "
