Being bored, Changsheng stayed in bed again to catch up on his sleep. As the saying goes, it is necessary to maintain adequate sleep, which can not only wake up the mind and clear the brain, but also recuperate the soul.
It was already the second watch when he woke up again. Changsheng got up, put on his shoes, and went down to pour tea. Because it was the beginning of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the room was dark.
There are candles on the table, but Changsheng has not lit them. As the owner of the palace, he naturally knows the rules of the palace. If the lights are not turned on in the room, the servants will not come to disturb them. Once the lights are turned on, the servants will immediately They will come over and serve tea and meals.
Chang Sheng had always carried the book "The Record of Strange Stories from the Wilderness" with him, and this time he took it out again and put it on the table to read page by page. Although "The Record of Strange Stories from the Wilderness" only has about a hundred pages, each page contains more than a thousand bitches. It is a small seal script with words on both sides. It is estimated to have more than 200,000 words. It will undoubtedly take a long time to read page by page.
Since we have found records about Nine Heavenly Immortal Dew and Fire Qilin in "The Great Wilderness Strange Stories", there is no longer any doubt about the authenticity of "The Great Wilderness Strange Stories". During the prehistoric period, the world was divided into four great wildernesses: southeast, northwest, southeast and southeast. In the eight regions of the northwest and four seas, due to the limited time of everyone on our side and the inconvenience of exploring the sea, Changsheng focused on reading the relevant records of the four great wildernesses this time.
After getting enough sleep, I felt refreshed. In addition, I had not eaten dinner, had no food in my belly, and was very clear-headed. Therefore, Changsheng read and read very quickly. He could read the front and back of a page without even using a stick of incense. Not only can you read both sides quickly, but you can also compare and filter them while reading, determine where the location mentioned in the ancient books is today, and select useful clues from many anecdotes.
"The Record of Strange Stories from the Wilderness" is a miscellany that not only records rare birds and animals and various spiritual objects, but also records some interesting things, including where immortals once appeared, where there are relics left by gods, and where There are so-called fairy caves and tombs of gods.
As for the Immortal Palace where everyone was vying for the magic talisman before, there is also a record in "The Record of Strange Stories from the Wilderness", but the ink is not much, the number of words is very few, and the description is not detailed.
Because his mind was not occupied, he could not feel the passage of time. It was not until he heard the footsteps outside the door that Changsheng came back to his senses and reached out to light the candle in the room.
Seeing the lights on in the room, the visitor sped up. Changsheng could naturally hear the footsteps of Yang Kai and others. At this time, Yang Kai and Shi Xuanming Yu Yi were both here. If there wasn't something important, the three of them wouldn't be here. Come to disturb me in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, Chang Sheng put away the ancient books and stood up to open the door.
Although the expressions of the three of them were solemn, there was no sign of nervousness or panic. Before Changsheng could ask, Shi Xuanming took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, Datou seems to be in trouble."
Chang Sheng did not answer immediately after hearing the words. He turned sideways to let the three of them into the room and quickly sensed the location of the big head.
Guessing what Chang Sheng was doing, Yang Kai took the initiative and said, "He is in the area at the junction of Hebei Road and Hedong Road."
With Yang Kai's reminder, Changsheng saves the time of identifying and confirming. He can sense the location of all the spiritual talismans. As Yang Kai said, the area at the junction of Hebei Road and Hedong Road currently has one silver, two copper and three spiritual talismans. Moving quickly, one of the copper talismans is about two hundred miles away from the one silver and one copper behind it, while the one silver and one copper behind it are less than fifty miles apart from each other.
"The person in front should be Big Tou, and the two people behind him have been chasing him," Shi Xuanming said. "According to Yang Kai, no matter how Big Tou circles around, those two people are always following him."
"Don't panic," Chang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Da Tou is riding Miss Bai. Unless the two people behind have more magical bird mounts than the golden eagle, they won't be able to catch up with Da Tou."
"I'm not panicking, I'm just a little confused, what are they doing?" Shi Xuanming frowned in confusion.
Yang Kai said, "I am also very confused. Big Tou has been going around in circles and never strayed far from that area. And I remember that he still has your spiritual energy token in his hand. If he is really in danger, he can definitely ask Go and lend a helping hand, or drive the golden eagle back to Chang'an."
"He does have my spiritual energy token in his hand." Changsheng nodded.
Yang Kai added, "There are only six silver talismans in total. Babadamu and Tianzhu Fanseng are in their original places, and Gongshu Xuanming is not moving around in Jiangnan. Fan Jingming and I are both in Chang'an right now. If nothing else happens, behind the big head The silver talisman is probably Yun Zhenzi of Taiqing Sect."
"Yun Zhenzi?" Changsheng frowned and pondered. He had secretly helped many people when they were snatching the talisman that day, but this did not include Yun Zhenzi. Yun Zhenzi had won the silver talisman entirely by his own strength. To put it bluntly, it was Yun Zhenzi. Zhenzi didn't owe him any favors, but even if he didn't owe him any favors, he didn't offend Yun Zhenzi. Why did Yun Zhenzi join others to embarrass Datou?
While Chang Sheng was thinking quickly, Yang Kai said again, "There are nine bronze talismans in total. Shi Xuanming, Yu Yi and Liu Tianlin are all in Chang'an right now, Miao Nu is still in Miao territory, Gongsun Chengwei is in Xichuan, plus Datou, this There are only six of them, and currently only Zong Pingzi, Wang Shiren, and Murong Feng are missing."
After Yang Kai finished speaking, Yu Yi said, "Wang Shiren has received your favor, so he will not embarrass Datou. Murong Feng will not go against us if he wants something from us, but Zong Pingzi and Yun Zhenzi have not received any favor from you. "
After Yu Yi finished speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and said, "It shouldn't be Zong Pingzi. Zong Pingzi is already over a hundred years old. He is fighting for the magic talisman just to extend his life. It's too late for Mingzhe to protect himself. How could he come to provoke us for no reason."
"I've been to that area before..."
Before Yu Yi could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted her, "Don't be impatient. No matter where we go now, others will know. Think carefully first and don't act rashly."
Yang Kai and others were originally standing, but after hearing Chang Sheng's words, the three of them sat down and began to brainstorm.
Yang Kai took the lead and said, "Let's not talk about who the two people chasing Big Tou are. I just want to talk about why Big Tou didn't leave that area. I suspect that the black bear spirit was reincarnated in that area. Big Tou has been wandering around nearby, probably because he didn't want to. Stay away from it."
After Chang Sheng and others nodded, Yang Kai said again, "Da Tou did not use the spiritual energy token to ask the prince for help, which means that in his opinion, the situation is not urgent, and there is no need to ask the prince for help yet."
Seeing that Yang Kai had no intention of continuing, Chang Sheng just said, "What you said does make sense, but you overlooked one detail. The bronze talisman behind has been running in front, always maintaining a distance of dozens of miles from the silver talisman behind. .”
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming turned to look at Yang Kai at the same time. The two of them could not sense the existence of the silver talisman, so they could not determine the distance between the silver and copper behind them.
"What do you mean?" Yang Kai looked at Chang Sheng.
"I suspect that the silver and copper behind are not chasing the big head together, but that the copper talisman is being chased by the silver talisman," Changsheng said seriously, "If I haven't guessed wrong, the person Yun Zhenzi is chasing is probably It's the flower-picking thief Murong Feng. We promised to protect his safety when we replaced the silver charm from Murong Feng that day, so Murong Feng tried to ask for help from Datou after he discovered it."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before speaking again, "Da Tou has always maintained a distance of two hundred miles from Murong Feng. With such a long distance, he cannot see each other's appearance or hear each other's shouts, so he cannot I can't be sure who the bronze talisman behind me is, and I don't understand why the other person keeps following me. If nothing else, Datou is also confused now."
After hearing Chang Sheng's explanation, everyone suddenly realized and felt relieved. Yu Yi answered, "It should be what you said. Da Tou left from Chang'an. Murong Feng knew that this bronze talisman must be ours, so he was desperate. In case of emergency, run to the nearest place and seek help.”
Shi Xuanming nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, Yun Zhenzi said that he was from Beidou Palace. Beidou Palace seems to be in Hebei Road. It should be the flower picker who went to Hebei Road to do bad things and was caught by Yun Zhenzi. The flower picker originally wanted to I was running towards Chang'an, but I bumped into Da Tou on the way."
"What should we do?" Yang Kai looked at Chang Sheng.
"Let me think about it," Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Yun Zhenzi once said when he was discussing Tao that he would obey nature and obey people. In his opinion, changing dynasties is the only way to obey nature and obey people. Everything we do is He is going against nature, he already has a prejudice against us, if this matter is not handled well, it is likely to push him into the hostile camp."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yang Kai and others all nodded. As Chang Sheng said, this matter is quite difficult. Yun Zhenzi is a Taiqing Taoist. If everyone on our side takes the lead in attacking him, they will completely offend the Taiqing Sect.
After pondering for a long time, Chang Sheng could not make up his mind. Murong Feng was a flower picker and could do any despicable things. Since Yun Zhenzi was chasing him, it was because Murong Feng deserved what he deserved. If our side comes forward at this time, it will naturally be able to save Murong Feng, but it will also leave a bad impression on Yun Zhenzi that he does not distinguish between right and wrong and covers crimes.
But if you stay out and don't care about Murong Feng's life or death, it will be a breach of trust and betrayal. After all, everyone on our side promised Murong Feng to ensure his safety, and now they have replaced his silver talisman. When he is in trouble, But he stood by and watched, unable to explain anything.
Seeing that Changsheng was in trouble, Yang Kai offered some advice, "My lord, you and Yun Zhenzi both belong to the Sanqing. If you come forward, I might hurt the harmony of the Sanqing. Why don't you let me take the gold medal that makes me feel like I'm here to protect Murong Feng."
Chang Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Our relationship is known to the world, what's the difference between your coming forward and me coming forward? What's more, once you show the gold medal, it will be confirmed that the emperor is covering up crimes, which will make him even more cold-hearted towards the emperor and the court."
"Then what should we do?" Shi Xuanming asked.
"This is a dead end, no matter what you do..."
