Ba Xia raised a critical issue. If this issue is not resolved, the final management of natural resources will not be completed.
But fortunately it's not too difficult.
Ying Zheng seemed to suddenly think of something. He looked at Ji Fa and asked, "Master, do we have enough time?"
Ji Fa nodded and said: "There is enough time, but it is more energy-consuming."
"Does it also require original grain seeds?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"It's necessary." Ji Fa said, "And we need to use Jiuding."
Fuxi relied on Jiuding when refining the Third Eye, and this time was certainly no exception.
"I understand," Ying Zheng said, "It seems that I have to find a quiet place for Master."
Ba Xia looked at Ying Zheng and said, "I've been talking for a long time. How do you feel? If there is no problem, just eat the green fruit."
Only then did Ying Zheng remember that there was still a piece of fruit that he had not eaten. He took it out of his arms with a smile and took a big bite.
"Senior Baxia, we came back from the battlefield this time without any preparations." Ying Zheng said while eating, "Originally, in Xianyang, I ordered people to make several weapons for you, with your totems engraved on them. ,As a gift."
Ba Xia seemed to smile and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I am not so greedy for small profits."
Ying Zheng said: "Then next time, I will bring it to senior when I come again. I just don't know if senior has any other requests."
Ba Xia thought for a moment and said, "Before you leave, fill in this big hole."
Ying Zheng: "..."
After digging some mud and filling the hole behind the tree, Ba Xia treated them to a meal of fish.
Not to mention, the fish in this pool are not only big, but also extremely delicious.
After eating and drinking enough, Ji Fa and Ying Zheng said goodbye, and Baxia sent them back the way they came.
He was a little nervous when he came, but now he relaxed, and Ying Zheng observed the inscription on the stone tablet on Basia's back.
It was also a strange symbol, but it was different from the ancient characters he had learned.
"Master." Ying Zheng lowered his voice and asked, "Is this also an oracle bone inscription?"
Ji Fa shook his head and said, "This is divine writing!"
"Ah? Divine text?" Ying Zheng was shocked.
Ji Fa smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that the contract between the gods and the dragons was engraved on the stone tablet carried by Ba Xia? There were no humans at that time, so why not write divine inscriptions?"
"Does every hegemon have to carry a stone tablet on his back?" Ying Zheng asked.
Before Ji Fa could answer, he heard Ba Xia say: "The first one was installed, and then the Dragon Clan cast a spell on it, and it grew out on its own."
Ying Zheng stuck out the tip of his tongue and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Back on the ground, snowflakes were falling in the sky. The two bowed to Shennong's tablet again, bid farewell to Baxia, and then returned to the camp.
"Master, the place where Senior Baxia lives is different from other guardian beasts." Ying Zheng lowered his voice.
"Ba Xia is different from other mythical beasts. Moreover, it is difficult to move with the stone tablet on its back. It is also appropriate to build a water pool for it." Ji Fa said.
Ying Zheng continued: "Then the ancestors of Shennong led people to build bridges and pave roads. It was only on the surface. The real big project was underground?"
Ji Fa nodded: "In the past, there was Zhu Jiuyou next to Ba Xia. Since the water pool was built, Zhu Jiuyou doesn't stay with it very much. He only comes to visit occasionally."
Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and then asked: "Zhu Jiuyou must have come from Huoyan, why didn't he see the location of Huoyan?"
"The Eye of Fire is located under the pool, below the Shennong Mausoleum." Ji Fa replied, "It is difficult for ordinary people to dive down. Even for us, it is best to ask Zhu Jiuyou for help. However, the dragon veins here have been basically repaired and perfected. You can Don’t worry about it.”
Ying Zheng blinked and said: "My master once said before that the tombs built by successive Tianhe successors were all buried in the previous ones. So, what is buried in the Shennong Mausoleum...could it be the Three Emperors?"
Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng, was silent for a while, and then said: "It's the ancestor Fuxi and Nuwa!"
"Ah!" Ying Zheng exclaimed, more than surprised, he was filled with curiosity. "I see, I want to come and see it again when I have free time."
"Sneak in?" Ji Fa asked.
"Yeah!" Ying Zheng nodded firmly.
Ji Fa smiled and said, "Okay. This has actually been my wish for many years. The way you look at me is really similar to me back then."
The two of them chatted and returned to the camp.
Brothers Qiang Yu and Thorin breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had returned safely.
"Brother Wang, Zhang Yong and his people simply repaired a few bridges." Qiang He said, "But it will take some time to completely repair it. I wonder if we should stay here for a few more days, or start back now?"
Ying Zheng said: "The weather is getting cold. Let's come back when we are fully prepared. We will notify you and we will set off tomorrow to return to Xianyang."
Qiang Yu responded and organized the supplies with Thorin.
After dinner, Zhang Yong asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhang Yong said: "After we left Shouchun, there were two people following us halfway. At first, I thought they were ordinary people on their way, so I didn't pay much attention."
"Since we entered the forest, I left a few people to guard outside, but they found that the two people were not far away. They seemed to be deliberately following us. Should we control them first?"
Before Ying Zheng could ask, Ji Fa took the lead and said, "I know who they are."
Ying Zheng looked at Ji Fa in astonishment and asked, "Master, do you know about them?"
Ji Fa nodded and said, "It's Liu Bang and Fan Kuai."
Upon hearing that it was them, Ying Zheng understood: "Why are they following us?"
"Then Liu Bang has always been worried about you. I heard that you came to Chu State, how could he not secretly inquire about it?" Ji Fa smiled and said, "If you hadn't brought so many people with you, he might have fought against you. "
Ying Zheng: "..."
Fan Kuai was sent by Ji Fa to accompany Liu Bang, so how could Ji Fa not know every move he made.
Ji Fa said: "It seems that it is time to tell him your plan."
"How about taking him back to Xianyang?" Ying Zheng asked.
Ji Fa said: "It's best this way. Liu Bang is a particularly important part of your thousand-year plan. If something goes wrong with him, then the future connection will definitely be troublesome."
"Understood." Ying Zheng responded, then turned to Zhang Yong and said, "Tell the brothers outside to control those two people first. But you must treat them well and don't neglect them."
"Yes!" Zhang Yong accepted the order and turned around.
Ying Zheng looked back at Ji Fa and asked, "Master, is it possible that all these secrets must be told to Liu Bang?"
"Let's pick the important ones." Ji Fa thought for a while and said, "If he still only cares about his selfish desires this time, then he will have to find someone else."
Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'll have a good talk with him, and then you can ask Fan Kuai to enlighten him as well."
Early on the next morning, the team began their return journey, going through thorns and thorns along the way. The speed was much faster than when they came. In a few days, they walked out of the jungle.
A small group of people was waiting here, and Liu Bang and Fan Kuai were among them.
From Liu Bang's eyes, we can see some dissatisfaction and determination.
Ying Zheng spoke first: "What a coincidence, Abang, you are here too."
Liu Bang turned his head, snorted and said, "Kill if you want, don't be pretentious."
Ying Zheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did I kill you?"
"If you didn't kill me, why did you take me?" Liu Bang said.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You were the one who followed me sneakily along the way. Besides, if I really want to take you, why don't you tie your hands and feet?"
"I was just on a study tour and happened to meet you guys," Liu Bang said.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng said, "It's been a few years since you left Xianyang. You must have gained a lot of knowledge, right?"
Liu Bang said: "It's just superficial, don't bother."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it took so long to learn a little bit. How can I leave important matters in your hands and send people to guard your safety day and night?"
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Fan Kuai.
Liu Bang was surprised, but he saw Fan Kuai step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Fan Kuai has met the master and the King of Qin."
what's the situation?
Liu Bang looked at Fan Kuai with wide eyes, his heart was like a turbulent wave, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
The person who accompanies him day and night is... actually sent by King Qin! ?
Ji Fa smiled and said: "Liu Bang, this Fan Kuai was sent by me to protect you. King Qin only found out later. As for why I did this, do you want to know the reason?"
Seeing Ji Fa's fairy-like temperament, Liu Bang unconsciously weakened and nodded slightly.
"Then the three of us will ride in the same car and return to Xianyang together." Ji Fa waved his hand.
Of course Liu Bang couldn't say anything, so he could only nod in agreement.
The three of them got into the carriage and walked in the center of the team.
Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bang and went straight to the point: "I know that because of your brother's death, you have always been brooding and hating me."
"But do you know the real cause of your brother's death?"
Liu Bang said coldly: "I asked you before, but you didn't tell me."
Ying Zheng said solemnly: "It was because there was something unspeakable at that time, and now it's time for you to know the truth."
Liu Bang had been speculating about the cause of his brother Liu An's death. Now that King Qin was going to tell him personally, how could he not be anxious.
"I hope you won't lie to me." Liu Bang said.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Do you think I will recruit you into the car if I want to lie to you? But before I explain Liu An's matter to you, I would like to ask, last year I was in Luoyi Have you heard about what happened on New Year’s Eve?”
Liu Bang nodded and said: "Of course I have heard of it, everyone in the world knows it."
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "That Xi Beast is the messenger of the Dragon Clan. Its duty is to serve as the assistant of the divine beast Yazhen who guards the dragon's fire eyes. And your brother Liu An died because of the Xi Beast."
"What?" Liu Bang said in shock, "That Xi beast..."
"Don't worry, listen to me." Ying Zheng said.
Then, Ying Zheng told Liu Bang about the responsibilities of the Heavenly Inheritor and about the Jiuding and Tianmu, including the agreement between the human race and the dragon race.
Liu An accidentally broke into Xi Beast's cave, so he was forced to death by Xi Beast. Later, Xi Beast bit Han Fei to death because "my weapon" was destroyed, and then fled to Luoyi to harm the people until he was captured by Ying Zheng. execution.
These secrets that are difficult for the world to know were told to Liu Bang in detail by Ying Zheng.
Liu Bang opened his mouth slightly, and quickly sorted out every link in his mind, imagining every scene, and the resentment in his heart towards Ying Zheng was also dissipating little by little.
Not to mention that Liu An was not killed by Ying Zheng, even if he was, it is nothing compared to saving the world.
Knowing the past, Liu Bang, who had mixed emotions in his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "King Qin, if these things that sound like myths are true, then my brother's death will be considered worthwhile."
Ying Zheng said: "If you don't want your brother to die in vain, you should shoulder certain responsibilities. I have a big thing entrusted to you. I hope you will fulfill your mission."
Ying Zheng's words were not soliciting opinions, but more like giving orders.
Liu Bang looked at Ying Zheng with some disbelief: "I would like to listen to what King Qin has to say."
At this moment, even Liu Bang himself did not realize that the grievances he had buried in his heart for many years had turned into his ambition to save the common people!
