Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Old Things
At this time, the sky was getting dark, Duan Jiu lit the lamp, the dim light reflected his and Di Renjie's shadows on the ground, which made people feel very heavy.Duan Jiu couldn't help regretting and said: "I was worried that Ayu would be punished, so I rushed to tell her life experience, now it seems that I was too reckless."
I only heard Di Renjie say to himself: "Oh, the matter of saving the people in the Eastern Palace and An Jinzang is already 70% or 80% sure, so I'm afraid it's only 40% or 50%."
Duan Jiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Your Excellency is saying that people can still be saved?"
Di Renjie pondered for a while, but asked: "Brother Duan, since An Jinzang has even told you the secret of Yu'er's life experience, I don't know if you have ever heard him talk about the 'Sun Soul Mirror' and the 'Yue Jing Dao' Things?"
Duan Jiu smiled wryly and said: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade! But he An Jinzang has this Laoshizi mask, but he has such a temperament, otherwise why is it here today? - I really know these two treasures: The "Sun Pok Mirror" can make magic soldiers appear, and the "Yue Jing Dao" is extremely sharp. It is said that these two things are made of meteorites that fell from the sky. They also have the ability to "avoid water" and make the lake water like sea water , there is a sign of the ebb and flow of the tide.”
Di Renjie frowned, looked at Duan Jiu and said, "I only know that the moon's profit and loss can affect the ebb and flow of the tide, but I've never heard of such things as 'water-avoiding' beads in the world. If it's forged from a meteorite, It coincides with the Khitan legend, during the Shang Dynasty, the ancients were known to use meteorites to forge the blades and aid parts of weapons such as axe.”
Duan Jiu shook his head: "I have never seen the magic of this mirror and knife, but many years ago, in order to find the legendary treasure, I spent a lot of time investigating and collecting information about these two treasures. When it comes to making friends with An Jinzang, it is precisely because of this."
It turned out that more than 20 years ago, Duan Jiu heard that under the Yishui, a secret of the Northern Qi royal family was buried. It is said that there is a large amount of wealth left to the descendants of the Qi people. After Qi was destroyed, no one has been able to open it.At that time, Jiu was curious and confident that he could not steal anything without him. After many investigations, he found out that to enter the treasure, he needed two things, the "Sun Soul Mirror" and "Yue Jing Dao", and the "Sun Soul Mirror" was discovered a hundred years ago. Gao Changgong, king of Lanling, modified it to make the world-famous mask, which is now in the hands of An Jinzang.
According to Duan Jiu's behavior at that time, he sent a letter to An Jinzang, which stated: Duan Jiu will visit the house on a certain day, and take a look at it through the "Sun Po Mirror".At that time, the name of the thief Duan Jiu was well known in the Jianghu. Originally, the business of "stealing" was to let people take things away without anyone noticing, but he conceited his ability and notified in advance. View", of course, there is a loan without repayment.
That night, Duan Jiu sneaked into his house, did not find the precious mirror, but found a small bottle in the dark compartment, when he opened it, there seemed to be a strange fragrance coming out of his nostrils, at this moment the owner suddenly appeared, and urgently ordered him to put down the small bottle, and said this bottle It was filled with extremely powerful venom, Duan Jiu saw that his behavior had been exposed, and this "steal" had already lost three points, and it was An Jinzang's intention to scare him so that he could seize the opportunity to catch him, this momentum must never be repeated The loser, of course, refused to believe what An Jinzang said, and only drew his sword to threaten him, forcing him to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure mirror.An Jinzang was not panicked, and stood in front of the court and talked eloquently, saying that as a master, he should not show mercy to the thieves who came to steal his things, but he always admired Duan Jiujie's chivalrous demeanor of helping the poor and he could not bear to see him die by poison Only then did he kindly remind him that if Duan Jiu didn't believe it, he could take the medicine for a try, the venom could cause a person's whole body to fester and die as soon as it touched the skin.
Seeing that he spoke candidly, Duan Jiu felt his subordinates relax. An Jinzang also said that he knew that Duan Jiu wanted the "Sun Soul Mirror" because he was going for something hidden under Yi Que, but even he couldn't help it. Can't get into it.First, the only relics he got back then were the mask, this small bottle of "Mi Fei Tears" and a booklet, but the exact location of the treasure was not written; If you haven't seen it in the world, where can you find it?
With those words, Duan Jiu's suspicions disappeared, and although he was secretly on guard in his heart, he no longer threatened with a knife. An Jinzang took the small bottle, put on a pair of gloves that seemed to be made of special leather, and poured the bottle into the bottle. Gently poured a drop of the liquid medicine into the garden. When Duan Jiu looked at it, he saw that it was like a green crystal dewdrop, covered with an extremely thin layer of membrane, trembling and rolling on the soil, the membrane was about to burst, and An Jin Zangzao pulled Duan Jiu to hide in the upwind place, and in a short while, he saw a large area of flowers and plants in the garden quickly withered and turned yellow, and turned into a scorched black color in the blink of an eye. Jiu was terrified, and then thought that An Jinzang was too bold just now, if he had bad intentions, but put this poison on him, wouldn't it be a big deal?
An Jinzang didn't seem to notice it at all, and only said frankly: "Concubine Mi's tears" still have such power in the open space of the garden. If it is in the room, this small drop is enough to kill a person.The so-called treasure is just an ancient wonderland, in which there are many natural dangers and monsters and strange things. Take this venom as an example, it is obtained from it, and it is named "Mi Fei Tears" after its image , According to the records of the ancestors, I wanted to collect a large number of them as combat weapons for use on bows and crossbows, but I gave up because of their toxicity.If future generations are able to enter and accidentally spread it, it will lead to a catastrophe, so I advise Duan Jiu to give up the idea of treasure hunting.
Duan Jiu is not a person who is greedy for money and profit. He wanted to hunt for treasures earlier, but it was because of the excitement-seeking temperament in his nature. Now, after listening to it for a long time, and seeing the power of "Concubine Mi's tears" with his own eyes, most of the excitement has gone.Seeing that An Jinzang treated him with sincerity, he couldn't help feeling very fond of him. The two of them talked hand in hand, and the whole night passed before they knew it.It also led to the friendship between the two for decades to come.
It turns out that An Jinzang's original surname is Gao, and he is a descendant of Gao Changgong in the Northern Qi Dynasty. When he was young, he suffered a disaster in the village, and he was left alone in the world. Fortunately, when he was eighteen years old, he met An Chi, an artist from Anguo from the Western Region. The slave took him in and taught Hu dance music, so he changed his surname to An. An's family was famous for singing and dancing, and was favored by the emperor. .
After Di Renjie listened quietly, Fang sighed: "That's it. He used to be from Gaojia Village. It's rare to become a close friend after stealing and guarding against each other. It seems that this mask is involved in more things than I thought. It's complicated." After thinking for a while, he said again: "After I got the mask, Ayu, as an internal guard, tried to enter the palace to face the saint, and told the reason why the mask was haunted by the queen, and then detailed the causes and consequences of the so-called Donggong rebellion. Analysis, as long as you can get rid of Tianhou's suspicion, it is possible to save everyone in the Eastern Palace. Looking at it now, I don't know if Ayu can still do this job?"
Hearing this, Duan Jiu could only shake his head and smile wryly.
