The legend of Dukang

When the three of them returned to the restaurant, it was already past lunch time. Fang Yunheng asked Wang Xiaoer to order some food casually. By the way, he asked about the patriarch of Cuiping Town and the origin of the Patriarch's Temple.It was similar to what Shen Jiaan told them, and they chatted for a while before returning to their residence.

As soon as they entered the wooden building, Wen Ruyu called Jieyou to Fang Yunheng's room, and the three of them closed the door tightly.

"Let's talk now." Wen Ruyu was the first to speak out, "What's the problem with this patriarch's temple? Why do I feel that you seem to have decided that the sword of the patriarch is the Xuantian sword?"

Fang Yunheng took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I'm sure it's not enough, I'll know until I see you, I'm just a little suspicious at the moment."

"What do you suspect? I don't see anything wrong with Shen Jiaan?" Wen Ruyu asked curiously.

"It's not Shen Jia'an, but you."

When Fang Yunheng said this, Wen Ruyu was taken aback: "What's wrong with me?"

"You said something this morning, which gave me some clues. You said, 'Peach Blossom Spring is nothing more than that.'" After saying this, Fang Yunheng gave Wen Ruyu a thoughtful look.

It was only then that Wen Ruyu remembered the troubled poetry in the morning, and recited Tao Yuanming's "Return to Come". There was indeed something wrong with Fang Yunheng at the time, but she didn't think much about it at the time.

"Do you still remember the only clue to the Hou Mansion, the poem on the silk?" Fang Yunheng said this, and Wen Ruyu remembered the poem on the silk, which indeed mentioned Taoyuan.But Wang Xiaoer said that there are no peach trees in Cuiping Town.

Fang Yunheng continued: "I always thought that, literally, the Xuantian Sword must have something to do with peach trees, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect this peach garden to be another paradise. The silk actually refers to the illusory peach blossom garden in Tao Yuanming's article, and the mural on the wall of the patriarch's temple in Cuiping Town proves this!" Wen Ruyu finally understood what he wanted to say: " That's a good word! But don't you think it's far-fetched? Although it's rare to turn an ancestral hall into a flower house, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, so you can't condemn others just because of this!"

"But the sacred object enshrined in Cuiping Town is a sword. This is definitely not a coincidence." Fang Yunheng was still stubborn.

Wen Ruyu smiled: "There are many people who use swords in the world. It's no big deal to enshrine a sword. I've seen one that enshrines a tortoise! ​​Besides, the Xuantian Sword in Dingguo Hou's Mansion has just been lost, and there are already people enshrining this sword. It’s been more than 50 years. Besides, why did they steal your swords? The court officials and military officials don’t know about such a secret matter in the Hou’s Mansion, and it’s so far away from the capital, so how could ordinary people know about it?”

Fang Yunheng didn't continue talking, but instead took a look at Jieyou.

Jieyou said, "The portraits of the successive leaders of Cuiping Town."

"The portrait of the patriarch?" Wen Ruyu was even more surprised: "Why is the portrait involved again?"

Jieyou explained: "Counting the first term of the blank, there are only three patriarchs in total. That is to say, Cuiping Town has only been established for five or sixty years at most. Shen Jiaan said that they came here because they escaped the war. Five or sixty years ago. Zhanluan was the time when the former dynasty fell, so it can be inferred that Cuiping Town was established during the time when the former dynasty fell."

"That's right. When the previous dynasty fell, Wu Shengzu took the initiative and won the battle of Yandang Mountain. After Ling Jueding died, most of the princes from other places surrendered to Wu Shengzu. In addition, at that time, the Northern Man army was suppressing the border. There is no major conflict in the territory at all. This place is far away from Beiman, why did the ancestors in Cuiping Town escape from the war? Unless they are not ordinary people." Fang Yunheng analyzed calmly.

"Do you mean that he is an official who slipped through the net and was loyal to the previous dynasty, or is he a remnant of Ling Jue Ding?"

Wen Ruyu admired their cousin's unrestrained imagination so much. With just this little clue, he could think of such an unbelievable thing.If this news gets out, the whole town will not be exterminated by the emperor!

Jieyou ignored Wen Ruyu, and continued: "Wu Shengzu can spare other people, but he will never let Ling Jueding's cronies go. The remnants of Ling Jueding hid in Yandang Mountain back then, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then. There was a lot of turmoil in the room, and rumors and rumors were everywhere. Wu Shengzu couldn't do it. He had to sacrifice the Xuantian Sword to prove that Ling Jueding was dead. It is very possible to escape from the chase! The reason why there is no portrait of Ling Jueding left in Cuiping Town is probably because they are afraid that someone will recognize it."

Wen Ruyu muttered: "You mean that the residents of Cuiping Town are descendants of Ling Jueding's remnants, that's why they stole the Xuantian Sword? This is completely impossible! Cuiping Town is a thousand miles away from the capital. How could it be possible for them to break through layers of blockades and escape here without anyone noticing? Even if what you said is correct, why did they deliberately leave such obvious clues to guide us to come here? ?”

Seeing that Wen Ruyu still had a look of disbelief, Fang Yunheng didn't continue to argue: "It's all speculation now, wait until we enter the Shen family and find a way to see the sword of the head of the Shen family."

Wen Ruyu rolled his eyes at him: "If it's really the Xuantian Sword, it's too late for people to hide it. Will it be placed in the hall ostentatiously waiting for you to appreciate it? Besides, you have never seen the Xuantian Sword. How can you tell the sword of the head of the Shen family? Isn't it the Xuantian Sword?"

Fang Yunheng choked on him, coughed lightly and said, "Uncle has drawn pictures for me."

Wen Ruyu saw that the two cousins ​​had been deceived by lard and wanted to go to Shen's house to watch the sword, so she had to let them.

The three of them discussed about going to Shen's house the day after tomorrow, and after the discussion, it was already dark.

Fang Yunheng looked at the sky and said helplessly: "I guess everyone doesn't want to go to the restaurant to eat. I'll ask the waiter to see if I can bring the food here."

Wen Ruyu stretched her waist and said, "Okay, I'll go and see Wuxia."

Fang Yunheng smiled and said, "I've been too busy patronizing, but I forgot about her."

When the two came to Wen Wuxia's room, Wen Ruyu was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but Wen Wuxia opened the door rubbing her eyes with a sleepy look.

Wen Ruyu was shocked and said, "Have you been sleeping since you came back from breakfast?"

Wen Wuxia covered his mouth with his hands and yawned and nodded.

Fang Yunheng smiled and said: "It seems that Wuxia must be exhausted. It's good to have a rest. I'll ask them to deliver food now." After speaking, he strode downstairs.

Watching Fang Yunheng's back disappear into the corner of the corridor, Wen Ruyu looked Wen Wuxia up and down, and said, "I didn't even know you could sleep so well, when did you become a pig?"

Wen Wuxia hammered his brother a few times, and complained: "You'll make fun of me! Where's Brother Jieyou? Where did you go to play today?"

Wen Ruyu glanced at her younger sister: "You still care about others, so take care of yourself first! You only ate a little this morning, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry." Wen Wuxia said with a smile: "Brother Yunheng gave me a snack in the morning, it was delicious, I ate a lot!"

"Okay! That kid Fang Yunheng is hiding something for himself, and he won't give me such a delicious snack!" Wen Ruyu yelled angrily.

"Who made you run so fast in the morning? You were no longer in the house when we looked for you. Who do you blame?"

After Wen Wuxia finished speaking, she smiled and ran to find Jieyou, leaving Wen Ruyu in place with endless resentment.

Her stomach was already rumbling, Wen Ruyu looked downstairs and found that Fang Yunheng was talking to a few guys.A clerk took the money and ran towards the restaurant, presumably to order food.After calculating the distance from the wooden building to the restaurant, Wen Ruyu sadly realized that it would take some time before eating.

Touching his hungry belly, thinking of Fang Yunheng's snacks, he couldn't help but arouse the glutton in Wen Ruyu's belly, and he immediately went back to Fang Yunheng's room.

In the room, Wen Wuxia was pestering Jieyou to talk, but Jieyou was really too lazy to deal with it, so he went out with a cold face.

Wen Wuxia was about to chase after him, but when he saw his brother rummaging through boxes and cabinets, he rushed over and asked, "Brother, what are you looking for?"

Wen Ruyu finally touched Fang Yunheng's baggage from behind the pillow, grabbed it over, and said while turning over, "What else can I look for! Desserts, of course!"

Wen Wuxia disapproved and said: "Brother, if you want to eat some snacks, you can get them for you when Brother Yunheng comes back. Why are you looking through other people's things casually, how impolite!"

Ignoring her sister's words, Wen Ruyu untied the bag, rummaged through it, and found that there were some clothes inside, but no snacks.

It can't be that I have finished eating!Wen Ruyu was thinking depressedly, her eyes flicked around, trying to see if there were other salutes in other places, and she didn't notice that an object slipped from the bag in her hand at all.

Wen Wuxia came over to pick it up, and shouted, "What a beautiful sachet! What kind of flower is on it, why haven't I seen it before?"

Wen Ruyu glanced at the sachet, snatched it up, held it in his hand for a closer look, but didn't recognize what flower it was, but was embarrassed to admit it in front of his sister, so he glanced at Wen Wuxia sullenly, annoyed He said: "You don't know anything about knitting girl red, how could you have seen it, don't mess with other people's things."

After being exposed by him, Wen Wuxia felt guilty for a while, and whispered: "Who moved! I just picked it up for you."

Wen Ruyu ignored her, tidied up the baggage and put it back in its original place.As soon as it was put away, Fang Yunheng pushed the door open and came in.

Fang Yunheng didn't know the situation in the room, looked at the two people who were standing there, and said with a smile: "The man has already passed the dishes, and he will be here in a while."

Wen Ruyu gave Wen Wuxia a "shut up" look, smiled at Junheng and said, "Junheng, I heard you brought some snacks, do you have any left? Take them out and feed us first!"

Fang Yunheng smiled, patted Wen Ruyu's shoulder and said, "Snacks are available, but there are only some sweet mung bean cakes left. It is easy to accumulate food at night, and the food will come in a while, so why not wait a bit!" Leave him alone.

Wen Ruyu complained in her heart: Fuck, cheapskate.

The three of them were a little tired after traveling all day, so they went back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
