Qi Ning was horrified. Although he had already guessed that there should be quite a lot of secrets hidden in the Ksitigarbha scroll, he never expected that it would be so magical.
He knew very little about the Luoshu River Picture, but some readers who knew a little bit about the Luoshu River Picture had heard a little bit about the Luoshu River Picture. As for King Wen's gossip, even after being passed down for thousands of years, it was still famous all over the world. The Book of Changes from the Luoshu River Picture is the pinnacle treasure of Chinese civilization.
Qi Ning also understood that any knowledge related to the Luoshu River Map was unfathomable and extremely mysterious. King Wen of Zhou drew nutrients from the Fuxi Bagua and created the Wenwang Bagua, which had a profound influence on future generations, and Yingping The layman claimed in the music score that the four volumes he wrote were comparable to King Wen's Bagua. It would be fine if he was boasting, but if he was truly confident, then the four volumes of Ksitigarbha can be called a peerless treasure.
Linghu Xu saw Qi Ning's surprised expression and stroked his beard and said: "From the scrolls and several music scores passed down by layman Yingping, we can know that this person does have the talent of ghosts and gods in the world. Not to mention other things, it is the secret he created. The word "shadow" is also very mysterious. It is inevitable for such a person to have a somewhat arrogant temperament. He may say a few arrogant words, but if he does not have real talent and knowledge, he will not speak arrogantly. So I guess, layman Yingping The proud words in the score are probably true."
"After understanding the cycle of heaven and earth, humans and ghosts will be born in the past and the next. If this is true, don't the four volumes of books know the future?" Qi Ning said solemnly.
Linghu Xu smiled and said: "Actually, this is not a strange thing. From King Wen's gossip, you can learn a lot about the future. If the four volumes of books written by layman Yingping involve the future, it will not make people think be surprised."
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "If we can really find these four volumes, we will almost have the ability to control the world."
Linghu Xu said: "Senior Brother's purpose of searching for those four volumes is not to control the world. He wants to see if the four volumes are really as magical as layman Yingping said. If so, what is the legend? In the next life, it will naturally benefit the world."
Qining thought that if those four volumes really existed, it was still unclear whether they would benefit the world.
It was just that he was curious. This was the first time he met Linghu Xu. Although the two had some connection because of Zhuo Qingyang, Linghu Xu told him this secret matter. But it was beyond Qining's expectation, and he wondered what Linghu Xu was thinking.
Linghu Xu shook his head and sighed, and said: "But it's useless to talk about this now. Senior brother's life and death are uncertain, and the clues to find Yingping's scroll are cut off. Only senior brother knows the whereabouts of the music score. If senior brother is missing, then Naturally, the music score also disappeared, and trying to find Yingping's scroll can only be a fool's dream." He shook his head with a wry smile, a look of regret on his face.
Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then asked softly: "Xiangye, is your disappearance related to that piece of music?"
Linghu Xu was startled, then frowned and asked, "Little Marquis, are you saying that someone knows the existence of the music score?"
"I'm not sure. If I hadn't heard the Prime Minister say this today, I would have known nothing about it." Qi Ning was cautious, but Zhuo Qingyang's whereabouts were unknown, and the Ksitigarbha music score was in his hands. He really wanted to He got some clues from Linghuxu's mouth, but he also knew that Linghuxu, as the Prime Minister of Eastern Qi, was very careful and not easy to deal with. Every word he said to this old Prime Minister must be cautious. , "It's just that I feel that your husband is a great scholar and has extremely high prestige. No one in the world dares to touch you easily. Moreover, he runs the academy. If there is nothing extraordinary, no one will come to him."
Linghu Xu stroked his beard and nodded, and said, "That makes sense." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Senior brother, I have a music score, and I'm searching for the Yingping scroll. I know about it, and it's precisely because it's so important. It is important, so all correspondence is written in secret characters to prevent others from knowing it." After a pause, he said: "If anyone else knows about it, unless it is told by senior brother."
"Sir, would you tell others such a secret thing?" Qining asked.
Linghu Xu said: "That is not impossible. Senior brother has many friends, and he has many friends all over the world. If he has not seen the secrets of Yingping's scroll in the music score for many years, he may not find others to study it."
Qi Ning said: "This is possible."
Linghu Xu sighed: "If senior brother really lost his trace because of this matter, things would be even more troublesome." He shook his head and sighed: "If the Yingping scroll is obtained by a virtuous person, then that's fine, but if If it is obtained by people with evil intentions and has insight into the secrets of heaven, then all living beings will be in disaster."
Qi Ning thought that since I have the Ksitigarbha music score in my hand, I don’t have to worry about it being obtained by others, but he still said with a solemn expression: "Mr., I have not found out the whereabouts of the scroll for many years. Even if someone really gets the music score, it may not be possible." What's the use? You are so knowledgeable that you can't understand everything, and there is no one in the world who can be more capable than you."
"Senior brother has outstanding talents. This is naturally true." Linghu Xu sighed: "But there are also many strange people in the world. The secret shadow word has been passed down, and it may not be that only senior brother and I can recognize it. There may be other experts. I have a more thorough understanding of the secret shadow word...!" He waved his hand and said: "That's all, I was just worried about senior brother's safety, so I said a lot more, which made the young prince laugh."
Qi Ning cupped his hands and said, "The prime minister has spoken seriously."
Linghu Xu had already smiled and said: "Little Marquis, there are some things I didn't want to say in the first place. Although you have a close relationship with your senior brother, and with this relationship, you and I also have some connections, but I am an official of the Eastern Qi after all, so... !" After a pause, he smiled and said: "But I can tell you that His Royal Highness has spoken kindly for you in front of the Emperor, and the Emperor still prefers your Chu country in his heart."
Qi Ning said: "Please help me with everything."
"When it comes to helping, it's you who helped yourself." Linghu Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Is this banquet tonight hosted by you?" He shook his head and said, "This is the banquet Princess Tianxiang ordered me to host tonight. Several test questions were asked by Her Royal Highness herself. Princess Tianxiang is the apple of the Emperor's eye. She is young and favored by the Emperor. This time, you, the State of Chu and the Northern Han Dynasty, sent envoys at the same time, intending to marry me, the State of Qi. The Emperor naturally knows it, and so does Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Qi Ning just looked respectful and didn't say much.
Linghu Xu said: "But when the princess found out about this, she was very upset. She grew up in a deep palace since she was a child, and now she wants to marry in another country. Naturally, she is reluctant to leave."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "This is also human nature."
"Although the princess is reluctant to leave, she also understands the righteousness." Linghu Xu sighed: "The emperor also knew that the princess was upset, so he promised the princess that she could choose whether to go to the Northern Han Dynasty or the Chu Kingdom. For this reason, the princess I was ordered to hold a banquet tonight to test the envoys of the two countries. The young marquis solved all the test questions tonight, and the results will be sent to the palace overnight so that the princess can know." He smiled slightly and said: "The princess knows the results. After that, there’s no telling where we’re going.”
Qi Ning understands that Dong Qi must carefully consider such a major national matter. It is impossible to decide on the ownership just because of Princess Tianxiang's words. However, one thing is certain, Princess Tianxiang's wishes will affect Dong Qi's decision-making to some extent. Judging from the current situation, Chu State clearly has the upper hand in this marriage.
He was in a slightly better mood and said, "I still have Mr. Lao to do all this."
"I haven't been of much help." Linghu Xu said with a smile: "If nothing happens, the emperor will summon you tomorrow and there will be results. It's getting late, and I won't keep the Marquis. Tomorrow the Marquis will go to the palace to see the Emperor. , rest early tonight.”
Qi Ning bid farewell to Linghu Xu and left the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Linghu Xu gave him excellent news, Qi Ning still did not dare to take it lightly.
However, the Yingping scroll mentioned by Linghu Xu tonight still surprised Qining.
If what Linghu Xu said is true, then the Ksitigarbha scroll in his hand is the key to finding the Yingping scroll. The four scrolls were written by Yingping, but they are supreme treasures. If they really find them, they can know the past. In the future, if we can control the general trend of the world, just thinking about it will make people excited.
In fact, before he left, he wanted to inquire about some things about the Ancient Elephant Kingdom from Linghu Xu, especially about Gongzhaxi. But when he spoke, he knew that if he was not careful, not only would he not be able to talk about anything, It might even leak something, so I simply gave up the idea.
According to the previous plan, Gongzhaxi and others got the white clam and were ready to leave and return to Qinghai-Tibet. Now that the white clam was lost, Gongzhaxi and the others had no choice but to stay. Qining knew that Gongzhaxi and the others had already It was determined that Beitangfeng had sent people to steal the white clams, and he also targeted the Northern Han Dynasty envoy. Gongzhaxi and others were disciples of Daxueshan Zhuri Dharma King, so this matter would not let go, and there would definitely be more drama in the future. Can be seen.
Returning to the post house, it was already late at night. There was silence in the post house. Qining returned to the house, but felt a cold air in the house. After closing the doors and windows, he pried open the floor tiles and opened the box. Under the light, He went down and touched the white clam with the cold blade. The white clam immediately opened its shell and did not die.
Qining thought that it was inconvenient to carry this white clam with him, but it was still not safe in this house. After all, this was the territory of the Dongqi people. If the Dongqi people found the opportunity to search in their house, they might not find it. , thinking for a moment, walked to the back window, opened the window and swept around. Behind this was a small garden. In the middle of the garden, two golden bodhi trees were very conspicuous. There was silence. He pondered for a while, went over to pick up the box, and opened it through the back window. After digging it out, he found a hole under a tree, dug a hole with a cold blade, buried the box in it, and covered it with old soil. Everything didn't seem to have changed much, so he was slightly relieved.
The next day he was going to see the King of Dong Qi. Qin Ning went to bed to rest. When he woke up, it was already dawn. He walked to the back window, opened the window and took a look. The sky was dim and bright. He stretched out, and suddenly his body was shaken and stiff. He paused, with a look of horror on his face.
