When he received Xu Hao's letter, Ming Xiang knew that he was involved in the fight for the treasure. Just because Ming Zongxia and Ming Mingming and Mingliang would not get any benefit, he had to come in person. This is what he would do The reason for leaving Sichuan was also calculated by Xu Hao.
Twenty years ago, the secrets about the Tianwan Treasure were circulated in the world. Finally, everything calmed down due to the death of Xu Hao's father. Twenty years later, Xu Hao took the initiative to provoke the fight. As the main force fighting for the treasure back then, How could you not come and participate in the Tianxia Meeting?
Although Ming Xiang has not left Sichuan in recent years, he has been studying the history of Tianwan Kingdom with great concentration. He is familiar with the stories between all the figures in this regime. Xu Shouhui, Peng Yingyu, the Four King Kongs, Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang, Er Zhang, and the Ming brothers, he can clearly explain the grievances and resentments among them. There is no outright loyalty, only friendship and interests. Therefore, he was able to endure Xu Hao's blackmail against Mingming and Mingliang, and he was able to endure Xu Hao's attempt to take the "Diamond Sutra Transformation Diagram" from Ming Zongxia's hands, just for the ultimate benefit.
At present, in terms of fighting alone, he is not Xu Hao's opponent, but his Tianxiahui power is something that Xu Hao cannot shake for a while. It can be said that in the game between him and Xu Hao, he still has a good chance of winning. Now that the imperial court, Gen Yue League, and White Lotus Sect are all involved, he should use Xu Hao in the dark to suppress them.
Mingxiang's abacus was very good. But Xu Hao is also a smart man after all. He can smell the discord in people's hearts from the close discussions between Ming's uncle and nephew. However, Mingxiang has now told him a secret. As long as he finds Wuyun's residence, he can find the mausoleum of Grandpa Huang. Maybe he can find something in Grandpa Huang's tomb. Thinking of this, he was still a little nervous. After all, attacking his grandfather's tomb would require some mental struggle.
Mingxiang doesn't have to worry about Xu Hao's inner world. He is happy to see the world making fun of Xu Hao.
Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and he thought about it, and said to Mingxiang: "What uncle Shi said may have some truth. In any case, if you can find the tomb of my grandfather, it will be a great achievement. However, I am cloudy I haven't found any clues in the city for so many years. I think maybe my grandfather's tomb is not here at all!" But I thought to myself, since you know that Wuyun's residence is the key, you will definitely send someone to investigate first. Just follow you.
After Ming Xiang heard Xu Hao's words, he couldn't figure out what he meant for a while. When he was about to say more, he heard that Li Dakui came over to report something, so he had to give up, but he didn't leave immediately.
Li Dakui looked at Mingxiang but did not speak immediately.
Seeing that Xu Hao had no intention of keeping him, Mingxiang had no choice but to leave angrily. After some thought, he figured out what Li Dakui was going to report. It was nothing more than news about other forces coveting the treasure. Recently, Xu Hao has not been idle either. He has been sending brothers from Tongbai Mountain everywhere to inquire about information, in order to prevent others from being caught off guard like last time.
As long as the goal is clear, it is possible to accomplish things. Mingxiang thought so and quickly took action.
Mingzong Xia left Zhang Tiezhuang and inquired about place names related to Wuyun. Without much effort, he found out that there was a mountain named Wuyun Village in a place called Ma'ao in the southwest of Duoyun City.
According to the directions given by the locals, Ming Zongxia took a bamboo raft from a small vendor and headed southwest along a river valley.
What I saw at the end of the river valley was extremely majestic, with smoke curling up from cooking pots and lush greenery on both sides. The river was crystal clear, with birds plundering and fish diving. From time to time, people from the countryside would exchange folk songs with each other, and for a while, they were amazed by this supreme scenery.
After descending into a large canyon, the river became more open and gentle. A fellow merchant said: "Ma'ao is ahead of us. Guests can abandon their rows and land on the shore here and follow the road."
Mingzong Xia thanked the peddler, followed his instructions and went ashore to visit the mountains. He saw a farmer carrying manure from a distance. He wanted to go up and ask questions, but he smelled the smell of manure, so he had to cover his nose to avoid it.
The farmer looked at him as he walked, secretly amused.
Then he saw an old woman coming with a stick. Mingzong Xia hurriedly stepped forward to find out: "May I ask the old lady, is there a mountain called Wuyunzhai here?"
"What?" The old woman's hair was gray, she was obviously old, and her ears were not working well.
Ming Zongxia was a little anxious and said loudly, "Is this Wuyun Village?"
The old woman heard this shout clearly, and the farmer carrying manure was also shocked, and couldn't help but look back.
"Wuyun Village, it's here, it's here, that's the mountain in front of it."
Ming Zongxia looked at the place pointed by the old woman's trembling fingers, and saw a mountain peak over there. What a coincidence, there happened to be dark clouds covering the top of the mountain.
"Where are you from... What did you come to do here..." Once the old woman met someone to talk to, she would chatter non-stop like an acquaintance. Ming Zongxia casually responded with a few words and looked at Wuyun. The village fled.
Entering the mountains, we first saw a tomb that was quite tall although not grand. The tombstone was engraved with: "The tomb of Xu Gong Wenxin, the former Taizhong doctor of the Song Dynasty." I thought about it. It seems that this place is the ancestral tomb of the Xu family. So, Xu Shouhui's tomb is likely to be in the mountains nearby.
After a careful search, I found a solitary grave in a hug place in Wuyun Village. Looking at the terrain, it is quite similar to Xu Huangchong's "Tomb of the Son of Heaven". Looking at the tomb again, a large dark blue stone tablet was hidden deep in the vegetation. Mingzong Xia pushed aside the grass and trees and saw the inscription on the tombstone: "The Tomb of the Former Fragrance Master, Xu Gong of Song Dynasty". Most people may not understand what is going on, but Ming Zongxia, who lives in Tianxiahui, has been exposed to his uncle's research since he was a child, so he naturally knows the meaning of every word on it. The so-called "Song Dynasty" originally refers to the Tianwan regime. It is said that the regime established by Xu Shouhui is called Tianwan Kingdom. It is just a rumor. What was originally a joke has evolved into a reality. In fact, Xu Shouhui's regime was the same as that of Han Shantong and Liu Futong, and was also called the Song Dynasty. The word "Xu Gong" indicates that the tomb owner's surname is Xu. The name "Incense Master" comes from the White Lotus Sect or Mingjiao, because Xu Shouhui's Southern Red Scarf Army was originally a believer of Peng Yingyu. It was called the Red Army and also became the Incense Army. Xu Shouhui, as the lord of this regime, is naturally the Incense Master. This is also An epitaph name used as a last resort to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Ming Zongxia memorized these contents carefully, left the mountain, and returned to Zhang Tiezhuang along the original road.
The dung-carrying farmer not far away watched him disappear at the end of the road. He let go and put down his pole, sat on the ground and smoked a dry cigarette as if he was thinking or not.
Ming Zongxia was very satisfied with this investigation.
Mingxiang is also quite satisfied.
Xu Hao was also satisfied because Li Dakui relayed Ming Zongxia's investigation to him verbatim. Although Li Dakui didn't know the meaning of the characters engraved on the tombstone, he still memorized those words and told Xu Hao when he came back. As a descendant of Xu Shouhui, Xu Hao couldn't possibly not know the meaning of these words.
"How was Xu Shouhui's body brought back? Why was it buried there? Who buried it? Was it the second uncle who buried it? So where are the second uncle and his descendants now?" These questions appeared in Mingxiang's mind. inside. Although he knew that the second uncle Ming Yuzhi was among them, he still didn't know the specific situation.
Although few people come to Xu Shouhui's tomb, Li Dakui, who is rough and delicate, still found traces of burning nearby, indicating that sacrifices had not been discontinued here.
Could this be related to the Ming family in Zhongyuan? Xu Hao is also thinking about this issue. Or maybe, there are others involved in this secret?
