Ye Qingxuan looked back at the small drum in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that the location of the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda' is in this picture? This picture should be a map, and it should depict the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda'." The terrain is just right.”
Jiang Shuihan nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile, "That's true, but it's not that simple..."
"how?"
"Because... can't find..."
Ye Qingxuan frowned slightly, and thought: "How about matching the text? Can you explain the origin of this 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda' first?"
Jiang Shuihan nodded slightly, and began to talk about a secret.
One cannot mention the "Bronze Dragon Pagoda" without mentioning the "Dragon Temple".
The so-called "Dragon Temple" is said to be the palace where the "Dragon God" Ao Lie, the number one master of martial arts who broke through the void two thousand years ago, lived, and the "Bronze Dragon Pagoda" is the most mysterious and important palace complex. The building, which houses the "Dragon God" Ao Lie's own and the collected unique knowledge of the world.
"Dragon God" Ao Lie is not only a peerless master in the apotheosis realm, but also single-handedly founded the "Dragon Dynasty", ruling the entire Shenwu Continent. As the first emperor of Shenwu, Ao Lie not only wants to be at the pinnacle of the world, but also wants his dynasty to last forever, and he and the dynasty he created will always be sung by the world.
Therefore, "Dragon God" Ao Lie used the power of the whole world to build a palace for himself, and gathered the world's copper and tin to melt and cast bronze to cast the "Bronze Dragon Tower", which is as high as 100 meters. According to legend, this "Bronze Dragon Pagoda" The whole body of the "Dragon Pagoda" is made of bronze. The thirteen-story tower is nearly 100 meters high and hundreds of square meters in diameter, which is extremely majestic and majestic.
The construction of this bronze pagoda gathered almost all of China's manpower and material resources, costing countless money, but the bronze used has dug up the few copper and tin mines in Zhongzhou, and because of the lack of copper mines, Through force, fight everywhere, forcing weak and small people to contribute treasures and copper mines in the form of tribute. Ask for all known martial arts cheats from the surrounding area to fill the book collection.
The "Dragon God" dominates the world with its peerless martial arts, and the world has tolerated its oppression for hundreds of years. After he "shattered the void", the oppressed martial artists formed an alliance and jointly overthrew the "Dragon Dynasty".
The world, repeated overnight.
In the end, only the majestic "Dragon Temple" remained unbroken. The heroes of the world gather here.
The "Dragon Temple" could not be broken for a long time. At that time, a wise martial arts master in the alliance offered advice. The comrades of the martial arts alliance dug up the embankment of the "Dragon River" and poured the river water back into the "Dragon Temple", breaking the "Dragon Temple" immediately. The defense of the "Dragon Temple", tens of thousands of "Dragon Temple" masters were buried in the river, and even the second emperor of the "Dragon Dynasty" died in the water.
The majestic "Dragon Temple" fell into a vast ocean, and only the "Bronze Dragon Pagoda" survived because it was built on a high mountain. The surviving Ao clan hid in the tower. Alliance masters attack again. Feeling hopeless, the Ao clan ignited the gunpowder buried in the mountain, and suddenly, the whole mountain was wiped out together with thousands of martial arts masters, and the "Bronze Dragon Pagoda" also disappeared.
After this battle, more than half of the martial arts elites were lost, and many martial arts stunts were lost as a result, and the entire martial arts world entered a great depression. At that time, the top ten schools in the martial arts were the most severely injured, and almost all the masters in the school died. Not long after that, in the complicated martial arts battles, out of ten schools out of ten, the rankings fell below the "first-class schools". As a result, four sects were completely eliminated, and have since disappeared from the martial arts world. Among the top ten sects, only the "Great Zen Temple" barely maintained its position at the end of the top ten sects due to its profound foundation. After thousands of years of accumulation, it returned to the honorary status of "the number one sect".
That martial arts catastrophe wiped out all the masters in the world, not only lost many magical skills, but also caused the overall quality of the entire martial arts world to decline. For more than a hundred years, there has been no master above the Returning Void Realm. At this time, experts from outside the region led their people to invade Kyushu, causing turmoil in the Shenwu Continent that lasted for two hundred years.
And the "Bronze Dragon Pagoda", together with its master who inherited it, together with the miraculous skills and rare treasures in the tower, disappeared into the long river of history without any news.
Speaking of this, both of Ye Jiang sighed, full of emotion.
Jiang Shuihan continued: "Since the fall of the 'Tianlong Dynasty' two thousand years ago, there have been rumors almost every few years that someone has found the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda', a relic of the 'Dragon God', but it was a pity that they were all discovered in the end. Farce. My 'bronze eight-faced drum' is indeed an antiquity with a long history, but in what era it is, even the most experienced imperial court can't identify the exact year... "
"Court is..."
"Oh, it's the master who is in charge of appraising items and estimating prices at the pawnshop, commonly known as the second uncle..."
Oh, it turns out to be an expert in antique appraisal from another world—
"In other words, you don't know if this small drum is really a clue to the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda'?"
Jiang Shuihan shrugged and replied: "Yes. Poor Elder Fei was one of the people we sent out to inquire about the anecdotes of the 'Five Great Treasures'. As a result...the result was targeted by people's hearts, and the whole family died...the other party Apparently knowing that we have this token similar to the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda', we deliberately left the sign as a warning. Of course, I guess it is mainly to test our reaction. If we are acting cautiously and hesitantly at this time, it will be more obvious We have ghosts in our hearts, and the enemy will think that we are afraid to show it because we have tokens in our hands, so we pretend not to know, which will make the other party more sure that we have such tokens in our hands; To take revenge and make it known to everyone, and they will doubt whether we really have such tokens. Hehe, he used his 'to scare the snake', and I used mine to 'deceive the truth'. As for who is better, it depends on who The means are more decisive, and whoever strikes will not hesitate..."
"But in this way, even if the other party thinks that you don't have the token of the 'Bronze Dragon Pagoda' in your hands, I'm afraid they won't give up easily. After all, one of your subordinates died in your hands..."
"The result is bound to be like this, but we have to do this. If the other party confirms that we have this token, the enemy will kill us at all costs. At that time, our entire alliance will be in danger of being destroyed, and everyone may die because of it. ; and if the other party cannot confirm that we have this token in our hands, they will either give up, or just avenge their own subordinates, but they will measure the size of their losses anyway, and will not invest all their strength without any scruples... This is me the goal of… "
"But no matter how I calculate, I don't see that you will be safe and sound here. Because no matter which of these two possibilities, you Jiang Shuihan will be the first character these killers want to get rid of... I I don't believe you didn't expect this, do you want to sacrifice your life to give the Dajiang League a chance to survive? It's so stupid!"
Jiang Shuihan bowed his head in silence, hammered his thigh vigorously, and said: "I was originally a useless person, and it would be a shame to die if I could fight for this opportunity for my father. But today, I have the hope of standing up, so how can I be reconciled?" To die? I will use all my strengths to deal with the so-called number one killer organization of the underworld to the end... "
"Second brother, don't worry, with the eldest brother here, he will definitely help you."
"Brother, don't do this," Jiang Shuihan hurriedly explained when he heard this: "The younger brother told you these words, not to ask the elder brother to help out, the enemy is powerful, and this matter is extremely dangerous. The younger brother just wants to put this 'bronze eight Entrust the face drum to the eldest brother, help me collect it, so that even if the thieves attack and destroy my Dajiang League, they will not be able to get this item... "
"Then why don't you hand over this thing fortunately, so as to avoid the bloody disaster?"
"Oh, brother, I don't know. This thing is something that my mother passed down from generation to generation. According to what my father said, my mother has always regarded this thing as a treasure and refused to leave her side until after I was born. I just tied this drum to my chest and passed away... How could I hand it over to others. My eldest brother and I are brothers of the opposite sex, so it is different. He will collect this thing for me and treat me to get rid of the thieves and tide over the difficulties. Would you like to learn more about the mysteries with Big Brother?"
Looking at Jiang Shuihan's firm and stubborn eyes, Ye Qingxuan sighed helplessly, nodded silently, and seeing Jiang Shuihan's happy face, he immediately said: "I can store things for you temporarily, but your business I must take care of it... Although your Dajiang League has a lot of power, a silver fox can make you scramble. If there are a few more masters, it is estimated that even if your father does it himself, there will be no benefit... In this way, as soon as the matter here is over , you come back to Qingyun Temple with me, my master and brothers like to fight against injustice, and I also like young heroes like you. Your business is my business, and my business is my sect's business. If they take action, let you go Even his enemies dare not act rashly."
"What, what? Brother, isn't this looking for enemies for your master? You are looking for trouble for your own master. There is no disciple who does this, right?"
Ye Qingxuan laughed loudly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, those old Taoists are uncomfortable on the mountain every day, I'll find them some chivalrous things to do, and it's too late for them to praise me... Hahaha..."
Ye Qingxuan looked up to the sky and laughed, but his calculations were crackling in private.
There are a lot of troubles in my teacher's school, as the saying goes, "If you have too many lice, you don't itch, and if you have too many debts, you don't worry about it." Qingyunguan, a small door and a small family, is just a finger of others in terms of strength. The hostile forces are all big fists, but Qingyunguan will not sit still. I have made a lot of trips during my travels, so I can deal with them together A good friend of the enemy, everyone can also squeeze their own strength into a fist, but what about the enemy? It may not necessarily be united by this. why? This is what Ye Qingxuan considers to be a very realistic issue after consideration, the issue of the background of the enemy.
If we sincerely form an alliance with the Dajiang League, then at this stage, the main enemies of the Qingyunguan camp are divided into three forces: the hidden enemy who destroyed the Kunwu faction; the demon sect; the killer organization...
According to what Master said, Ye Qingxuan learned that the force that destroyed the Kunwu Sect should be a well-known sect in Jianghu, that is, the authentic Baidao sect, not to mention whether they know the origin behind Qingyun Temple, Even if you know, if you want to do something, it is impossible to unite with the Devil's Cult and the Killer Organization, because these two organizations have too bad a reputation, as long as they get involved with them, they will immediately become notorious. them;
The killer organization in the gray area, the main source of customers is actually the green forest forces of the underworld. Similarly, the demon sect forces are forces that both black and white try to avoid contact with. The same is true with the Baidao sect. Although many Baidao forces will also cooperate with the killer organization, they are all in private, and they will not work at all on the surface. Otherwise, the largest source of customers, the underworld and green forest forces, will not be willing to cooperate with him. , because the killer organization deals with money, and no one can trust it. If one day the killer organization betrays itself and joins with the white forces to take over the green forest forces, it will be dumbfounded. So as long as the killer organization blatantly cooperates with the Baidao sect, it means that the killer organization is not far from being disbanded;
Not to mention the Devil's Cult, a stinky sock, whoever mentions it is disgusting, and the Devil's Cult is so powerful that you don't need to find rescuers to deal with anyone. If you don't like anyone, you may even chop up those enemies who get in the way...
Since the enemy's forces can't be united together, then if these forces of my own are united, there is no doubt that there will be a little more chance of winning against any opponent...
The enemy divides his forces to attack, while our side joins forces in one place, concentrates superior forces to defeat each, and wins more with less. In military history, such typical battles are numerous. Ye Qingxuan is neither a historian nor a military scientist, but it does not mean that Ye Qingxuan does not understand such strategies.
Therefore, Ye Qingxuan's act of wooing Jiang Shuihan seemed stupid, but in fact he had a lot of consideration. For Ye Qingxuan and his teachers, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is definitely a profitable business.
"Second brother, I still have something to ask, and I hope that the second brother will not be offended."
"Brother, may I ask..."
"I don't know if Master Lingtang's death is related to this 'Bronze Eight-Faced Pagoda'?"
Jiang Shuihan immediately turned pale with shock, and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Oh, why didn't I think... Maybe my mother's death really has something to do with this small drum. There is a huge connection... It seems that after the incident, I have to ask my father personally... "
Ye Qingxuan patted Jiang Shuihan on the shoulder comfortingly, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when suddenly there was an order from outside, and then a master of the Dajiang League approached and said: "I tell you two sons, some servants of the villa are under the order of the master Yan. , come to invite the two sons to the dinner party..."
The two of Ye Jiang looked at each other happily, knowing that it was finally time for the showdown. Ye Qingxuan couldn't wait to see the most secret plan of the imperial court, and who was his executor.
