Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

While carefully flipping through the ancient books he got from the ancient house in Tangwu Lane, Da Chuan rubbed the newly added bruises on his body, thinking that the injury was not in vain. This book is called "Tang Wu Ji", which is a medical book written in official script, recording various prescriptions.At the end of the reading, Da Chuan found nothing except to discover the folk remedies to treat his trauma. Just when he was at a loss, QQ called out again, and the "thousand-year old demon" who hadn't seen him for many days went online.Da Chuan hurriedly asked the old demon if he had heard of an ancient medical book called "Tang Wu Ji".

After throwing a bunch of emoticons, the old demon threw out a sentence: "Brother, do you really think that I am an old demon who has lived for a thousand years and knows everything?" Dachuan was a little disappointed. Could it be that the ancient books that the family got through all the hardships were worthless? The old demon laughed at him: "Dude, haven't you watched movies and TV shows? Whenever you encounter such a plot, you must check if there are interlayers or watermarks in the book. There may be a treasure map or martial arts cheats in it." Dachuan's heart moved, and he began to look through the ancient books carefully.Sure enough, he found that there was indeed a sandwich on the back cover!Okawa carefully opened the mezzanine and found a mysterious ancient map.

Da Chuan immediately found Professor Yi and Gao Lan to study carefully together, and saw that the longitude and latitude were drawn with thin lines on the map, just like a chessboard, with the serial number of the longitude line marked in black on the top, and the serial number of the latitude line in red letters on the left .Tangwu Mountain is clearly marked on the map, and a "Tangwu Jue" is written in official script in the blank space under the map.It's just that this song "Tang Wu Jue" is complete except for the first two sentences, and the last few sentences only have the last three words:

"The root of Chishui is fire, which is born from the native master, and the wood is cast into the golden elixir. The five elements are always mixed with nature, and joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear and fear." - "Tang Wuji" Professor Yi believes that "joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, and fear" refers to the seven emotions in Chinese medicine, and the second sentence "the five elements are always natural" means that human health must be in harmony with the seven emotions and the five elements, including the later "Golden Elixir", "Woodland", "Native", "Fire Source", and "Water Root" should refer to the life and vitality of the five elements.It can be seen that "Tang Wu Jue" is a medical formula for health maintenance and treatment, which shows that this map is used in conjunction with the medical book "Tang Wu Ji".

Dachuan thinks there is another mystery: the seven emotions in the first sentence should refer to the seven emotions and six desires of a person; "the five elements are always natural" alludes to the "five virtues are always said", which is a theory put forward by Zou Yan in the late Warring States period and was borrowed by Qin Shihuang as the foundation of the country. theory.Qin Shihuang claimed that he was the king of water virtue, and he must overcome the Zhou Dynasty's fire virtue, so it was God's will for Qin to destroy Zhou and unify the world. Gao Lan half-understood, and asked, "What's the part that's left out? Could it be a prescription?"

Da Chuan was awakened at once, and opened "Tang Wu Ji" again. Sure enough, the page numbers on each page were all black, but the serial numbers before the names of the prescriptions or medicinal materials were red numbers.He suddenly realized that every medicinal material and prescription in the book corresponds to a coordinate on the map! Gao Lan was overjoyed: "As long as we know the formula, we can find five locations on the map." Professor Yi poured cold water on it: "Who do we ask for these formulas? This book was written two thousand years ago." All of a sudden, everyone stared wide-eyed again, helpless.

Yi's mother broke her leg in the burrow and was unable to move, so she came late, but when she saw the "Tang Wujue" while on crutches, she uttered an exclamation: "Oh my God!" In Mother Yi's home, four people sat around the table and spread out the map.Mother Yi solemnly took out an old wooden box and put it on the table.Opening the wooden box, there are actually four sentences engraved on the inside of the box lid: "Happiness, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and fear, the five elements are always natural and twin, and go down to the sky to cast a golden alchemy map to subdue the tiger master Muben."

Mother Yi told everyone that this wooden box hides her family's secrets that have been passed down for thousands of years.Mother Yi took out a roll of ancient cloth from the box. This is a family tree. According to its records, Mother Yi's earliest ancestor was called "Golden Walker".This "gold walker" is proficient in metal crafts and lock spring mechanisms, and the craftsmanship has been passed down to this day. The "gold" in the formula should refer to her family. Da Chuan immediately reacted: "The five elements are natural, so that means there are four other walkers?"

Mother Yi nodded: "That's true. These five walkers were taught by the same family back then. Later, they dispersed and each had their own offspring, and all of them were passed down in the same line. Our five families share a secret, but the secret itself What it is, we don’t know. Legend has it that only the descendants of the five families appear at the same time, and this secret will be solved.” Gao Lan was curious: "Since there is only one family, why do you have two children?" Mother Yi laughed and said, "You see, since 'Twins Under Heaven Cast Golden Pills' is about the Jinxingzhe family, then 'Twins Under Heaven' may refer to the two brothers, Da Chuan and Xiao Chuan."

Mother Yi took out another ring from the box with a black stone inlaid on it, which is also a treasure passed down from generation to generation in her family.Dachuan's heart moved, and he immediately found the photos of the treasure box, and found that there was a gap in one of the pictures that exactly matched the shape of the ring stone.Could this be the key to the Dragon Lock! Everyone was excited, but also regretful: the treasure box was missing, otherwise they could have tried it. Da Chuan and the others were busy solving puzzles, how did they know that their every move would be clearly known by Luo La, who had been monitoring them all the time.

Just as Laura was about to make a move, a deep voice stopped her.A man in a black robe and a cloak covering his face appeared without any skin showing.Laura looked respectful: "Don't worry, this time I will personally go out to grab the map and the ring, and I will never make any mistakes again." The mysterious man calmly said, "It's not time to collect the net yet, we don't know the whereabouts of the other four rings, and we need them to find them for us!" Luo La said disdainfully: "With the map, I can also find the other four people." The man in black said coldly: "If they don't say it, you will know about the Five Elements? Don't be self-righteous, what we have to do now is to listen!" At Yi's mother's house, everyone was thinking about what to do next. Gao Lan suggested: "Why don't we go find the descendants of the other four families? Didn't we say that if we gather five people, we can solve that unknown secret?" Mother Yi shook her head: "In order to protect this secret, the five families have been scattered around since the first generation, deliberately avoiding each other. Two thousand years have passed, and they have no clues about each other at all." Da Chuan looked at the four formulas in Mama Yi's wooden box, and suddenly said: "Isn't this phrase 'Tu'anfu Tiger Master Wooden' a sentence in the 'Tang Wu Jue'? It seems that it refers to 'Wooden Walker' family!" Okawa immediately looked up "Tang Wu Ji", and sure enough he found a recipe called "Fu Hu Tang".Using the serial number and page number of Fuhu Tang as coordinates, they found the corresponding coordinates on the ancient map, and that place was actually called "Tu'an"! Gao Lan and Yi's mother were very excited, but Da Chuan and Professor Yi were full of doubts. They had studied history for so many years and had never heard of this name.Where is this "Tu'an" two thousand years ago? Xiao Chuan joined the team of civilians and was escorted all the way to the north. Along the way, the roadside was covered with bones, which was shocking. A young man fell ill due to the roughness of the journey.Vice-General Pang, who was in charge of the escort, left him by the side of the road in order not to let him slow down the speed of the team, and let him fend for himself. Xiao Chuan, who was also exhausted, couldn't bear to watch a young life die, and insisted on taking him with him.Deputy General Pang whipped Xiao Chuan with a whip, trying to stop him.Deputy General Pang firmly believed in a simple principle: "Don't let the dying drag down the living." He believed that he was doing a good deed to prevent Xiao Chuan from being dragged down to his death. However, Xiao Chuan didn't appreciate it and insisted on going his own way. As a result, he completely angered Vice-General Pang, and the two formed a relationship ever since. After going through hardships, Xiao Chuan finally survived with the young man to the Great Wall construction site, and he also knew the young man's name——Fan Xiliang.On the construction site, dozens of civilian workers were strung together, and Deputy General Pang specially locked Xiao Chuan and Fan Xiliang together. Fan Xiliang saw at a glance that Xiao Chuan was working as a civil servant for the first time, because there were no calluses on his ankles from shackles. Xiao Chuan checked Fan Xiliang's ankles, and sure enough there were thick rings of calluses on both feet.Fan Xiliang has been building the Great Wall for many years. From him, Xiao Chuan has heard too many tragic stories and learned many ways to be lazy. On this day, when serving meals, Deputy General Pang deducted Fan Xiliang's rations because of his weak body and lack of work.Xiao Chuan distributed his rations to Xiao Fan.Deputy General Pang found that Fan was eating, so he immediately whipped him and whipped him, making Fan cry for his father and mother. Unbearable, Xiao Chuan grabbed the whip and yelled at Lieutenant General Pang: "I have endured you for a long time, if there is a way to make a point, let's compete against each other!" "Chop what?" Deputy General Pang was a little confused. "PK is one-on-one!" "Okay, I'll teach you a lesson, you arrogant guy!" Vice-General Pang, whose authority was questioned, was also furious. On the construction site, Deputy General Pang stood opposite Xiao Chuan, and everyone stopped to watch the battle. The soldiers and militiamen supported each other: the soldiers were going to see how this lifeless guy was repaired by Lieutenant Pang; Worry. From the very beginning, Deputy General Pang didn't pay attention to the malnourished Xiao Chuan at all. Who knew that in the first round of their fight, Xiao Chuan knocked him to the ground like lightning.Lieutenant Pang screamed in anger, jumped up, and rushed over with all his strength, but was knocked down by Xiao Chuan four times, and fell to the ground again.In the third round, Deputy General Pang didn't dare to take it lightly and strengthened his defense, but he was still quickly brought down. Seeing this, the soldiers and militiamen fell silent. It seems that the irritable Vice-General Pang will definitely not let Xiao Chuan go! Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Pang jumped up, patted the dirt off his body, and laughed loudly: "Fun, happy! It's been a long time since I wrestled so happily!" As soon as this remark came out, not only everyone was surprised, but Xiao Chuan also felt puzzled. Deputy General Pang patted Xiao Chuan on the shoulder and said: "I admire courageous and skillful men the most. Don't be a civilian, join the army, and become an instructor under my tent. I will keep your future promising!" Xiao Chuan suddenly realized that this Vice-General Pang also had a straightforward and cute side, but he flatly rejected Vice-General Pang's invitation: "I'm sorry, I only know how to save people, I don't know how to kill people. I don't even know how to use a knife if you give me it. The servant is ready." Vice-General Pang was taken aback, and nodded: "Okay, I won't force you, you can think about it slowly, but from now on, you don't need to wear shackles." Vice-General Pang patted Xiao Chuan on the shoulder. It was night, and the full moon was like a basin, illuminating the entire construction site.Fan Xiliang and Xiaochuan looked at Mingyue and couldn't help talking about their family members.Xiao Chuan was very melancholy, and Xiao Fan also moaned again and again, talking about his wife Meng Jiangnv, who was forcibly recruited as a civil servant on the day of their wedding, and they have not seen each other for so many years. "Meng Jiangnu?" Xiao Chuan was quite surprised when he heard this. Isn't this a character in a fairy tale? Could there really be such a character in history? When Xiao Chuan was thinking about it, suddenly the construction site exploded, and there was a mess of crying, shouting and horseshoes. It turned out that a foreign army attacked the construction site, and the Qin army was caught off guard. Vice General Pang led a small number of soldiers to resist, but it was of no avail. The peasants all wanted to run for their lives, but they were all restrained by shackles. Dozens of people were strung together in a string, unable to escape.The sergeant in charge of the key didn't care about them, he just ran for his life.Migrants who cannot escape can only be slaughtered. Xiao Chuan is the only free peasant. He could have escaped, but how could he sit idly by seeing the peasants, the old and the weak, women and children being killed and arrested?So, he overturned the fleeing sergeant, grabbed the key, turned back and opened Fan Xiliang's shackles, and asked him to open the shackles of others, while he blocked the enemy for them. Xiao Chuan and Vice General Pang finally fought side by side. Although he hated the enemy's cruel methods, he couldn't kill them himself, he just knocked them unconscious. Lieutenant Pang was stabbed in the thigh during the fight and fell to the ground. Seeing a big knife slashing at Lieutenant Pang, Xiaochuan killed him, tried his best to block the big knife, kicked over the enemy soldiers, set up Lieutenant Pang and left. Deputy General Pang pushed him away: "You go, I can't let me, a dying person, drag you down!" Xiao Chuan ignored this sentence last time, and even less this time: "I will save you today!" Xiao Chuan carried Lieutenant General Pang on his back and fled outside. He was about to flee into the night when a cavalryman chased him and knocked Xiao Chuan unconscious with a wooden stick... When Xiao Chuan woke up, he found that he, Vice-General Pang and many civilians had become captives of a small foreign country. The name of this small country is "Tuan".
