Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1608 Doubt

For the rare mask market event, except for the people who are resident in Jiaping Guancheng, other people are very interested, discussing what kind of mask to prepare one by one.

This also includes Qin Zheng, who led Yan Bo, Wu Qingruo, Prince Dai, and His Royal Highness Ning to discuss very enthusiastically. After all, he has never been back to Jiaping Pass City for many years, and he has not participated in such lively activities for many years. .

The reception feast soon ended. Song Jue and Bai Meng accompanied Wu Qingruo, Prince Dai and Prince Ning back to the Wudinghou Mansion next door. They also dragged away Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, Yan Bo and Qin Zhengze, who were very knowledgeable about masks. It was watching a few shadows tidy up the flower hall, and told Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao, Jin Jing, and Xia Jiu to go to bed early and not stay up too late, so as not to get up the next day.

"These two old people probably forgot that we are going to live in a large tent tonight." Jin Jing yawned, looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao, and Xia Jiu, "How is it? Let's take a stroll back? "

"En!" Shen Haolin nodded, and took Shen Cha out of the flower hall first, "Just in time, the elders have gone to rest, so let's chat."

"What are you talking about?" Jin Jing walked beside Shen Haolin and raised an eyebrow at him, "Tell me about the stories you heard next door this afternoon?"

"Yes, the elders are all here. Some things are not easy to say. Now let's talk about each other's thoughts." Seeing Xia Jiu's puzzled face, Shen Haolin smiled at him and said, "Just listen."

Xia Jiu nodded, looked at Shen Cha, then at Jin Miaomiao and Jin Jing, and saw that they all had serious faces, as if some major event that worried the country and the people had happened, his inner doubts were even greater I don't know what they went through in the Hou's next door in the afternoon.

"Let's put it this way, there is only one key point now, and that is where Baiya Mountain is. Is it what we guessed? It is really the mausoleum of Emperor Tianji." Jin Jing thought for a while and said in a low voice. , "Baiya Mountain used to be called Baiya Mountain, because it once attracted hundreds or thousands of crows. In other words, it used to be littered with dead bodies." People who know it should be very clear that it will be a tragic scene to attract so many crows, right?"

"This statement is not very correct, I think..." Shen Haolin paused, "There is a problem."

"Well, can I have a word?" Xia Jiu looked at his two brothers and two sisters, saw them nodding, and then continued, "Brother Haolin just said that he can attract crows is not correct, and I am too. I think so. Although I don't know what you are talking about, there is only one thing, I still have a say in the matter of crows, right?"

"Don't say it, it's true." Jin Miaomiao reached out and rubbed Xia Jiu's head, "Our prince has liked watching birds since he was a child, didn't he?"

"Sister Miao Miao, don't rub my head all the time, the hair will become less!" Xia Jiu covered his head, "I really like watching birds, and I am willing to spend a long time observing any kind of birds. Including the crow, which is considered to be unknown by the world. I remember that we once fought the most tragic battle with the Xiao family, the one where Sister Xiaocha fought the hardest but still won by a narrow margin. The biggest one, right?" Seeing everyone nodding, he went on to say, "The two sides each lost about seven or eight thousand people, didn't they?"

"It's more than that. The Xiao family is almost wiped out. If it weren't for our benevolence, the Yelu family would not have been able to collect their corpses."

"That's right, think about how many of our brothers died in that battle, and the Xiao family was almost wiped out. The casualties were huge. Even so, when we were cleaning the battlefield, we didn't see hundreds of them. Raven, right?"

"I understand what you mean." Shen Haolin nodded, looked at Xia Jiu, and then at Jin Jing, "You probably mean the same thing, if the people buried with Baiya Mountain can attract hundreds of crows, I'm afraid the whole Wuzhou Everyone in the city will be buried with Emperor Tianji."

"Yes, I also thought so this afternoon, so I think it is unlikely that the person buried with Baiyashan was a person." Jin Jing thought for a while, and felt that this statement was a bit inaccurate, and waved at several people, "It should be someone, But not that many, most of them are livestock, right? I think big livestock is also possible, right?"

"It's possible, but have you ever thought that people at that time were playing tricks?" Xia Jiu looked at his brothers and sisters, "Although I don't know much about the Luo Dynasty, I also know that if a crow appears in an emperor's mausoleum , will be regarded as unknown, which will prevent some people from approaching here. Even the unfettered Captain Mojin will have some taboos about this."

"If you say that, there is indeed a possibility." Jin Jing blocked Shen Haolin, "Be careful where you step, the bluestone bricks here are a little loose, let someone come over and fix them later."

"Merlin, did you hear what the military adviser said?"

"Yes, boss!" Merlin, who was following far away, replied, "I'll find someone to fix it at dawn tomorrow."

"Continue." Jin Jing cleared her throat, and took a lantern handed over by Merlin who ran over to check the bluestone bricks. "It's getting dark now, and I forgot to light the lamp. Although we don't mix worlds, occasionally I will also inquire about anecdotes in the Jianghu. It is true that there are some skilled warlocks in the Jianghu who can use some special methods to make people hallucinate and let people see some of the illusions they created to achieve their goals. If God In order to protect his own mausoleum, it is not impossible for Emperor Ji to ask charlatans to make such a move. But..." He looked at Xia Jiu, "the reason is not so sufficient."

"That's right, we can't find evidence to prove that the appearance of these crows is actually just a hallucination, so, do you have other ideas about this?" Shen Cha looked at Xia Jiu and smiled faintly, "Look at your expression , I understand, tell me!"

"Sister Xiaocha, you must have doubts in your heart, right?" Xia Jiu gritted his teeth at Shen Cha, "Isn't it strange that there are crows but no vultures?"

"Look!" Shen Cha shook the hands he and Shen Haolin held together, "What did I say? Anyone with a bit of experience can notice it. So, are Uncle Huang, Uncle Wang, Master and Uncle Yan right? Maybe I don’t know, maybe there are other things that happened in Baiya Mountain, but these things, they are worried that if we know about them, it will bring us some bad...emotions? Maybe it’s something they think is terrible , don’t want us to know, do you?”

"They don't want to talk about it, so we don't ask. It doesn't affect the overall situation. Whether it's the warlock's illusion or the fact that a crow really came, it can prove that Baiya Mountain is indeed suspicious, and that's enough." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, looked at Xia Jiu, Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao again, "For the rest, just pretend that we have never found out, okay?"

"What brother said is that it should be done." Shen Cha nodded, "But why the Empress Dowager is so persistent in turning Baiya Mountain upside down is what I am very concerned about. She, Qinglian Sect and Baiya Mountain What is the connection between them, this is what we have to figure out."

"Sister Xiaocha, there is a shortcut, why don't you go?"

"Shortcut?" Seeing Xia Jiu's playful eyes, Shen Cha shook her head helplessly, "You're right, I almost forgot, there is indeed a shortcut that is suspicious." She smiled, "Tomorrow I will Write a letter back to Xijing and ask Senior Tantai if he knows the secret of Baiya Mountain."
