I took the physical examination report and said in a deep voice, "Is Li Sesu her mother's child?"
"No!" Ling'er shook her head and said, "Li Sesu's adoptive father, Li Yuan, got married after he adopted her."
I narrowed my eyes and said: "According to common sense, the Li family hates dragon snakes. Li Sesu, who has the blood of dragons, should be drowned by the Li family. How could Li Yuan and his wife deliberately help her hide her bloodline? Li Sesu Any news about his biological parents?"
Ling'er said: "According to the intelligence, Li Sese has a jade pendant with Nalan engraved on it. Li Sese's original name should be Nalan Sese."
"Nalan?" I pondered: "Nalan is an old Manchu surname. But Nalan's surname is derived from the Mongolian people. This seems to have nothing to do with Jiaolong?"
Ling'er said: "In addition, the news of Li Sesu's betrayal of the family has been spread back to the Li family. The reaction of the Li family is somewhat intriguing."
Ling'er explained without waiting for me to ask again: "All the masters of the Li family came out, including several masters who were guarding the ancestral land of the Li family, and suddenly appeared. However, the Li family did not rush to the coast, but headed inward. Heading towards the mainland, the specific location is currently unknown. Nighthawks are fully tracking it."
"Nighthawk?" I looked at Ling'er and said, "Nighthawk is yours?"
"No." Ling'er shook her head and said, "If it were my people, they wouldn't be able to get such detailed information. Nighthawk is the most famous intelligence organization in the world. They are not official and do not spy on sensitive information. They only do business in the world. Intelligence business. As long as you can afford the price, they will deliver the information in the shortest possible time."
"Understood!" I muttered: "The Li family will not raise a Li Sesu for no reason... Ye Xun, you know Feng Shui, tell me, what is the relationship between dragon veins and dragons?"
Ye Xun hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the perspective of modern Feng Shui, Feng Shui has little to do with spiritual beasts. However, our secret book once mentioned that in ancient Feng Shui secrets, dragon lairs and spiritual beasts can be related to each other. Coexist. The dragon's lair is the place with the richest spiritual energy in the dragon's veins, which is enough to breed spiritual beasts, such as dragons. Of course, the blood of the dragon can also be used to stimulate the earth's energy, making the dragon's cave's earth's energy richer."
Ye Xun paused for a moment when he said this: "There is another saying that spiritual beasts can suppress luck and keep the dragon veins unchanged. However, the spiritual beast must be alive. This legend about spiritual beasts suppressing luck, Appeared during the Warring States Period. You should have read "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasties", right? In it, every time an overlord becomes successful, some kind of spiritual beast will appear."
I nodded slightly and said, "Are you saying that the legend of Chen Bao is actually about spiritual beasts suppressing luck?"
Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, someone caught a monster that looked like a pig, was covered in thorns, and could not be killed no matter what. No one knew the origin of the monster. Later, two children passed by. One of them said: "That monster is called a hedgehog. It hides underground and eats the brains of dead people. If you want to kill it, just poke it in the nose with a stick." "
At this time, the hedgehog also spoke human words: "Those two children are two pheasant spirits, named Chen Bao. The one who gets the male will become the king of the world, and the one who gets the female will become the overlord of the world."
All the hunters chased Chen Bao together, and Chen Bao also turned into two pheasants and flew into the air. The female chicken fell on a mountain and turned into stone after being chased until it was powerless. The male chicken moaned for several days before flying away in the air.
The place where the hens landed was the hill behind the house of Duke Huan of Qi, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. The place was also named Baoji, which is still used today.
If, according to Ye Xun, it was Chen Bao who inspired the Feng Shui of Qi and made Duke Huan of Qi become the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
There are many such legends in "The Chronicles of the Nations of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", but after the Spring and Autumn Period, the legends about spiritual beasts suppressing national destiny completely disappeared, and most of the spiritual beasts began to be gradually demonized. Are these things like the nine-tailed fox, deliberately erased
I pondered: "If a person turns into a dragon, can it be used to suppress luck, or stimulate the spiritual energy of the dragon's lair?"
"I don't know!" Ye Xun shook his head and said, "But there is one thing you should think of. That is, the prerequisite for someone to turn into a dragon is to find the inner elixir of the dragon. Since Sun En already has a dragon in his hand, why did he still Do you want to go to unnecessary lengths and make people transform into dragons? This doesn’t make sense, right?”
"It really doesn't make sense!" I couldn't figure out the key for a while, so I could only turn my attention to the secret scroll again: "Ling'er, apart from leaving the secret scroll, didn't Tulip's ancestors leave anything else? ?”
Ling'er shook her head and said: "The ancestor of Tulip only left this secret scroll. I don't even think he knew what was wrong with him... and..."
Ling'er hesitated for a moment and said: "The ancestor once raided many sea areas, most of the time in European seas. He also went in and out of many secret realms. So it is difficult for him to tell where the curse on him came from."
I frowned and looked at Ling'er: "You ran to the east without understanding the cursed land. Aren't you afraid that you went to the wrong place?"
"The Eastern Sea is my last hope." Ling'er sighed: "The Tulip family's adventure group has searched almost all the secret realms that our ancestors have experienced, but found nothing. I can only try to enter the Eastern Sea."
I said solemnly: "Why did you originally tell me to come to you before Christmas? Is it just because of the time when the curse takes effect?"
"Not entirely!" Ling'er shook her head and said, "Because there was a children's song on the ancestor's pirate ship. I always thought it was a clue."
"Ballads?" I sat up straight: "How are the songs sung?"
"I want to think about it... how should I sing it when translated into Chinese..." Ling'er organized her voice and then said in Chinese: "Remember today, when the gods leave, the devil will come. The lights in the darkness are the devil's eyes, indifferent." The gaze is not guiding the future, but leading you into the abyss. You don’t have the guiding light, and you only rely on the sword. Is that what it means?”
I subconsciously said: "What nonsense is this? I can't understand a word."
Legends and ballads in China can often be combined into one, whether there are legends hidden in the ballads, or songs contained in the legends. All may be the key to solving the mystery. Some legends even directly mention that whoever can unlock the secret of the ballad will be able to obtain the treasures left by the predecessors. This is true for Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, Xiang Yu's golden gong, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's treasure.
I originally thought there would be some clues in the ballad of the Tulip Pirates, but after listening to it, it was all a bunch of nonsense, with not a single reliable word.
Ling'er said helplessly: "I checked the notes on the Tulip Pirate Ship. That ballad was only started to be sung after the tulips entered the Eastern Sea. I suspect that the ballad was originally in Chinese and was changed to English. Like this. The difference between Chinese and English is so big that it’s hard for anyone to restore pirate ballads now.”
I knocked on the table with my hand: "Ye Xun, bring those two secret boxes."
Ye Xun put the two secret boxes back on the table. I haven't touched the two secret boxes since I left Shark Reef, so I took them out just to try the two secret boxes. Can they attract each other to pop out the keys? But I put the two secret boxes on the table and played with them for a long time, but I didn't see any changes in the secret boxes. I was discouraged and said: "This is nothing, there is no clue at all. I don't know what those old people used to keep these for?"
As I spoke, I threw the Tulip Scroll onto the secret box: "Let these two bastards be companions!"
What I didn't expect was that the moment the secret scroll came into contact with the box, the two secret boxes made a soft sound at the same time. Several lead blocks popped out of each of the two secret boxes.
"There are words on it!" Ye Xun took off the lead blocks one by one in surprise. The two of us worked together for a long time before putting the lead weights together into a limerick.
"There are flowers in the east and flowers in the west. In search of famous flowers, I go up the cliff. Under the snakes and the sand on the bottom of the sea, I look at the red flowers wherever the light shines."
Ye Xun read it again and said, "What does this mean? Why don't I understand it?"
I reached out and took the tulip roll and folded it slightly: "Look, the five flowers on the tulip roll can actually be seen as five directions. The east flower and the west flower refer to these two flowers. I want to find their names. The flower on the cliff means that there should be a relatively high place near the two flowers. But it is not on this picture. The Tulip Scroll should be a map, right?"
While I was talking, Ling'er suddenly said: "The two monsters stopped, near here... they should be... in the sea."
"Get on the deck!" After I got on the deck, all I saw was a lonely island. From a distance, something seemed to be standing on the island, but I couldn't see clearly what was on it
I stared at the island for a while and then said: "Little cat, do you think Nalan Sese will be in any danger to his life after he is captured?"
"Probably not!" Li Xiaomao hesitated: "Looking at the attitude of the two dragons towards Thurse last time, I guess that at most... at most, they just treat Thurse... that..."
Li Xiaomao's face was so red that it looked like blood was dripping out.
I took a deep breath and said: "Then let's not look for Nalan Sese first. We are almost two hours behind the two dragons. They have probably finished what we need to do long ago. Let's deal with the detective hand first. "
"But..." Li Xiaomao said, "I think..."
I said solemnly: "If my calculation is correct, the Detective Hands are near us. If we don't deal with them first, not only will we not be able to save Nalan Sese, but we will also be easily made dumplings by Xue Yu. Let's go to the island and wait for Xue Yu. "
Li Xiaomao wanted to say something more, but Ling'er stopped him and said, "Wang Huan's judgment is correct. Besides, Li Sha is still in the hands of the two dragons. I guess Thurse may not be surprised first. Maybe, then It’s possible that the two dragons are still fighting for each other.”
