How to work

The ancient country of Nanzhao... a country that suddenly became strong and prosperous, then suddenly declined and disappeared, full of mystery, Lu Li had seen it in books.

No matter which book, mentioning its name, the lines are full of awe, yearning, and irrepressible curiosity.

"The ancient country of Nanzhao," Lu Li said with clear eyes, "I remember that its location should be in Dali?"

"Yeah, that's right! The current Dali is the territory of the former Nanzhao!" Shen Wansha finished eating the rolls, clapped his hands and pulled the stool to sit closer to Lu Li, and his voice was filled with excitement, "The ancient kingdom of Nanzhao is more than 300 years old. It suddenly appeared in the past, with an astonishing momentum, and it is eye-catching in less than a hundred years of development. Even my country has to pay attention to it. No country in history has risen faster and more brilliantly than them. Unfortunately, it is as lightning-like as it is. What matched the speed of its rise was that it fell to its death faster than lightning. It was obvious that everything was going well, the achievements in the country were outstanding, and the pace of expansion to the surrounding areas was also step by step. No one can turn the tide..."

Lu Li also felt very strange when he saw the relevant information of Nanzhao Kingdom. According to the records, Nanzhao created a lot of wealth, not only political culture, folk crafts, traditional skills, and a hundred flowers blooming. The whole country has reached a very high level. And it is still in the stage of steady rise, Guotai Minan is very healthy, and the rebellion is simply unreasonable.And the royal family was so powerful before, why did others have no tricks at all when they rebelled, as if all the power and wisdom were fake.

"Why?" He subconsciously asked.

Shen Wansha covered his mouth and laughed. After laughing, he looked around and whispered, "It's because there is a very powerful national teacher in the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom."

"National teacher?" Lu Li's eyes widened, and the letter was superstitious?

Shen Wansha had a determined face, and his delicate face was full of admiration, "That is a very, very powerful national teacher. I heard that he not only knows astronomy but also geography, he can also talk to dead people and predict the future!"

"His divination revealed that there was an emperor star in Nanzhao, and he was about to create a career, so he went there, but it also explained that Nanzhao's national destiny is only 200 years old. After 200 years, it will fall overnight and have nothing. This is the destiny. .Sure enough, as he said, in exactly 200 years, Nanzhao Kingdom will be destroyed."

Lu Li felt that it was absurd to attribute the cause of a country's demise to 'prophecy', but Shen Wansha's mysterious performance, it was too heartbreaking for him not to cooperate, "...Really?"

"Naturally! The national teacher also said that destiny cannot be violated, but destiny has a turning point. The princess of Nanzhao Kingdom will pass down the bloodline of destiny. As long as this bloodline is preserved, there will be a destiny person with imprints on his body. If this destiny person can Finding the sacred relics inherited from Nanzhao will restore the destiny of the country, not only rebuild the dynasty, but also unify the world!"

When Shen Wansha said this, he was a little worried, "Our Da'an is not small, but the surrounding Liao, Uyghur, Xixia, Tubo, and Dali are not too small. In the past few years, our Da'an emperor... er, not so outstanding, if not King Ping fought everywhere, with his natural talent and force, and the new emperor ascended the throne and let King Ping use his power everywhere to frighten them, we can't be peaceful now."

"It's so easy to stabilize, and you can recuperate and cultivate talents to make the country rich and strong." He sighed quietly, "If the Nanzhao incident is going to stir up trouble, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."

Although Lu Li does not agree with feudal superstition, he cannot deny that many times those in power rely on this method to win people's hearts. Moreover, the ancients believed in cause and effect, and believed in the harmony of heaven. bondage.

"What are the imprints of the Man of Destiny? What are the holy objects of Nanzhao?"

Shen Wansha shook his head, "I don't know."

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "Where did you hear the news? I'm afraid it's a lie."

"This is absolutely true! There are very few people who know this. I only found out by eavesdropping on my mother... eavesdropping on the big shots!" Shen Wansha clenched his fists, looked at Lu Li very seriously, and defended his news "Don't take it seriously, maybe there are a lot of people in the world looking for this now!"

"Okay." Lu Li finished his cup of tea, "The news you mentioned is indeed mysterious, and may be dangerous to Da'an, but what does it have to do with us? Or, he has something to do with our current case. What effect?"

Shen Wansha jumped up, "The impact is huge!"

He counted on his fingers, "There were seven princesses in the Nanzhao Kingdom, two of them died when the kingdom was broken, and had no descendants; two married early, one died of dystocia in the first child, and one She gave birth to a son and a daughter, but when the country was broken, the whole family died together; one became a monk and had no heirs; the other married well and lived well, and had children, but her children were not rich in blood. After several generations of single-passages, they all died; there was only one princess left, and this princess was named Domin, who was rebellious and eloped with someone at the age of 16, without a trace.”

"I've read the county annals and related records before, heard the stories, and became curious when I came here. I heard a lot of things from the locals. Little Lizi, you don't know, this Princess Duomin is probably buried nearby!"

Shen Wansha gesticulated excitedly, "Princess Duomin fell in love with a man of a different race. The origin of the man was unknown, and the Nanzhao royal family did not allow marriage, so she simply eloped with him and fled all the way north, picking the border line. Go, and finally settled in the border between Tubo and Shu. After all, Duo Min is still a princess. Even if she elopes, she also brings a lot of good things. Princess Min's tomb, according to investigations, many guesses are...is nearby!"

……

When the two teenagers were talking, Zhao Zhu kept his face slightly gloomy and remained silent.Xing Zuo and Hong You whispered on the roof, "The little prince of Lord Cheshire's family is very powerful, he knows a lot!"

Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha's very rich facial expressions, and finally understood what he wanted to say, "You said that Zhao Zhu was trapped in the tomb of Princess Domin?"

Shen Wansha nodded immediately, "Although my source of information is secret, I can know it, and some people must know it too. Others want to read the books I have read. It's normal to think of it here. Little Lizi, that cemetery, you If you don’t go, others will go. The earlier you go, the better your chances of getting useful information.”

"No wonder you want to follow..."

Lu Li simply stood up, "Let's go now."

Shen Wansha readily agreed, and while following Lu Li out, he tugged at his arm, "Actually, I know more, let me tell you..."

"Wait a minute," Lu Li looked back at Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, have you tied up the star picking?" The thief's skills are always very powerful, and he was worried that someone accidentally picked the star and ran away.

Zhao Zhu nodded imperceptibly, "He can't run away."

Lu Li was relieved, and the three of them walked west together.

On the way, Zhao Zhu was thinking whether he should take Lu Li to the cemetery.

He did come here for the ancient tomb. Shen Wansha has a lot of news, but they don't know that this news was sold to several countries by a person from the rivers and lakes. When there is chaos, they will be willing to intervene and mess things up.

Da'an finally managed to recuperate, the emperor didn't want to see unfavorable scenes, and he himself didn't like this kind of fighting...

He had sneaked into the ancient tomb before, the cemetery was very large and hidden, and the inside was very gorgeous, but he always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.He saw two remains in the main tomb at the end. Lu Li will conduct an autopsy. I wonder if there will be a bone examination?If one could know who was buried in the main tomb, then it would be clear at a glance whether the ancient tomb was real or not, and what intentions it had.

But the ancient tomb is full of organs, and such a secret, do we need to let a naive and irrelevant boy like Lu Li know?

How does he think the five people who died looked like spies from the Xixia army? There were Xixia people nearby, and there must be others. The three of them stabbed so hard, and the target was too big...

Zhao Zhu finally decided not to take them to the ancient tomb, at least not now.So the three of them took a very sideways route, and after walking for a long time, they didn't find any traces until they reached Da Yakou.

The crow has a big mouth, a lot of traces, very complicated, basically not reference.Shen Wansha told a lot of mysterious legends about Da Yakou, but Lu Li still felt that it must be because of natural and geographical reasons that this place is very dangerous.

He has no martial arts, and he doesn't intend to take the risk of pretending to be a hero. It's up to the police to find out what's going on under the crow's mouth. His small stature doesn't matter, so he ignored Shen Wansha's curious words that contained hints, abruptly Pulling Shen Wansha's arm, he dragged him to the east.

Gradually, the road began to flatten, and it was no longer so difficult to walk, but the continuous dirt slopes and the towering mountains not far away made people a little depressing.

Lu Li announced a break.

Shen Wansha sighed long and regretfully, "I'm so tired... I didn't touch anything."

Lu Li looked very natural, "Handling a case is very hard, and sometimes it is hopeless dozens or even dozens of times before we can get a little clue."

Shen Wansha tilted his head, his eyes were slightly quiet, "It's not for nothing that Zhang Meng worships his father..."

"It takes a lot of patience in this line of work."

Both of them had no martial arts, and they walked very lightly. After chatting for a few words, Shen Wansha stopped talking, and leaned against the tree trunk to rest a little listlessly.

Lu Li asked Zhao Zhu, "Are you tired?"

Zhao Zhu didn't speak, but returned a look of 'are you insulting me'.

Lu Li: ...well, you are not tired.

"We've traveled far enough today. If we still can't find any clues after a while, let's change the route and go back." Lu Li looked around and looked at Zhao Zhu with a little confusion, "But I seem to be a little lost. , do you know how to go back?"

"Stupid." Zhao Zhu laughed at Lu Li very clearly before saying, "Of course I know."

"That's good." Lu Li raised his eyebrows at him, slightly displeased.I said in my heart that I asked you to come here to do this, but I'm just a bodyguard, so what's the air...

Lu Li's eyes were not very friendly, and Zhao Zhu clicked his tongue lightly, obviously not very happy, and the two looked at each other, playing a game of momentum, to see who could kill the other with his sight, and who would give up.

When the atmosphere was in full swing, there was a sudden soft 'ow', which drew their attention back.

Looking back, Shen Wansha was excitedly waving at a white-haired dumpling not far away, tsk-tsk, "Come here, come here, I brought jerky today, come here and give it to you!"

Lu Li was startled, it turned out to be the little white wolf.

The little white wolf hesitated for a while, and then slowly walked towards this side.

When he got closer, Shen Wansha saw a bone in its mouth, and his voice became more brisk and joyful, "Wow, did you bring us a gift? Good boy, the young master brought a lot of jerky today, just give it to me when you come over." you..."

The little wolf refused to get closer, Shen Wansha simply threw the jerky out, but he didn't throw it too far, if the little wolf got closer, he might be able to touch it.

The little wolf was very vigilant, and ran over, but very quickly put down the bone in his mouth, picked up the dried meat at the same time, and ran away.Probably because of the feeding, the little wolf was not particularly wary of them. After running to a distance it thought was safe, it stopped and chewed the dried meat to enjoy the delicious food.

Shen Wansha was very unhappy that he didn't touch the little wolf.He picked up the bone that the little wolf had dropped on the ground, paused, and shook Lu Li triumphantly, "This is its toy, I will use this to lure it later, and I will definitely let it play with me!"

Lu Li saw the bone in Shen Wansha's hand clearly, his complexion suddenly sank, and his voice was serious, "I suggest you put that down."

"Why?" Shen Wansha rolled his eyes, as if he understood something, and hugged the bone tightly, "I know! You want to snatch the bone away and play with the little wolf yourself! No, I don't want to lose to you today !"

Lu Li sighed, "Shen Wansha, that bone is a human tibia."

"Human...bones?" Shen Wansha looked down at the bone stiffly, and suddenly threw it away as if on fire, and jumped up calling his mother, "This is a human bone? Little Oak Son, don't scare me!"

Lu Li nodded regretfully.

Shen Wansha immediately untied his coat and took it off, and finally wiped his hands vigorously with the shirt, "Mother, it's too scary, I actually touched a dead man's bone!"

Lu Li stood up, picked up the severed bone, and looked at the little wolf not far away, "Brother Zhao, can you catch up with the wolf?"
