Chapter 329 The Empress’ Legacy

In southern Xinjiang, people in Badong did not expect that Gu Man and his daughter were so proud that they even invited the Emperor of Heaven.

"Gu Man, what did you say to His Majesty!? Why did you invite His Majesty here too!?" The negotiation process went smoothly. Badong's demands were not too much for the court, because the Ming Dynasty will expand in the future, and the racial issue is Lu Xuan had already discussed this issue with Li Xingzhi and other important officials of the court a long time ago. Under the premise of Ming's absolute dominance, various places were allowed to retain their own national customs and some cultural beliefs based on different folk customs.

Therefore, the main purpose of this discussion is to establish the absolute authority of the Ming Dynasty. For Badong, these years have been much more comfortable than before. If the Ming Dynasty is willing to retain some of their cultural beliefs, they are also willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but for Lu Xuan Coming to Southern Xinjiang in person, the Lord of Badongdong was a little shocked.

"This... Hi, my daughter has made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Because the child loved her family and insisted on coming back, the court only appointed one fifth-grade official. Now this can be considered compensation." Gu Man scratched his head. He actually didn't know why Lu Xuan came to southern Xinjiang with him.

"Girl Gu Hui, I didn't expect you to be so capable!" The Lord of the Divine Witch Dongdong looked at Gu Hui lovingly.

"Is there any?" Gu Hui looked blankly at the cave masters looking at her with the kindest eyes they had ever seen before, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment: "The main reason is that Lu Chao is the emperor's younger brother and has nothing to do with me~ Haha~"

"Master Lu is His Majesty's younger brother? Why didn't you know before?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the gentle pretty boy would be the Emperor's younger brother. It seems that His Majesty really attaches great importance to Southern Xinjiang.

"I have long felt that Mr. Lu is not a mortal. He is upright and upright in his work. He is also very kind to ordinary people. He is also smart and can solve any problem when it comes to him. It turns out that he is your Majesty's younger brother. No wonder!"

With that said, all the cave owners ignored Gu Man and his daughter and left in twos and threes.

"You..." Gu Man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but saw that all the cave owners ignored him. He glared at his daughter with hatred and said: "You idiot!"

"I've heard them say it too." Lu Chao thought for a moment and said, "However, the descriptions of ancient dynasties in various classics and histories are somewhat general and vague. It is doubtful whether they really existed. Badong does not have the habit of recording history. A lot of things come from word of mouth and may not be accurate.”

"What's wrong!? These are gifts given to me by His Majesty, not your share!" Seeing his father's expression, Xiao Huipi subconsciously protected his Qiankun Bag.

"The Badong Secret Treasure." Lu Xuan nodded and said, "This is a rare treasure left over from the ancient dynasty. It is very important to me."

In his hands, Southern Xinjiang was developed from a barren land to now full of fertile fields, with convenient transportation, and cities were built one after another. In order to make the conditions of the cities better, he personally went to Tiandu and invited Zhang Yuanrou to help design.

When the development of southern Xinjiang first started, there were many problems. Communication barriers caused by language barriers. The people in southern Xinjiang were vulgar and barbaric, and they were always willing to use force. There were many obstacles to the implementation of government decrees.

Construction was impossible. Zhang Yuanrou, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the master of Shenji Hall, and the supervisor of Qintian, had many things in his hands. Even the design was all requested by Lu Chao with licking his face.

But as time goes by, he gradually discovers another side of these seemingly barbaric people in southern Xinjiang. They are not so thoughtful. After recognizing someone, they will unconditionally believe them. They are really easy to deceive. This is why they did not believe it at first. The reason for the Ming Dynasty was that I had been deceived too many times before.

To Lu Chao, Southern Xinjiang was like a child raised by himself. Now that the child had grown up, it was time for him, the parent, to leave, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy.

"Since eldest brother knows what's going on, I won't say any more. I'm going back to the court now."

"You are a scholar, and you understand many things better than me." Lu Xuan took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Chao and said, "Here, you have reached your limit. What we are going to play is the world's chess game. You have been operating in southern Xinjiang for many years. , for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, no one is more suitable than you, and his merits and qualifications are sufficient."

"Everything is up to my brother's arrangement." Lu Chao nodded silently: "Brother, do you have anything else to do when you come to Southern Xinjiang in person?"

Lu Chao nodded, looked around and said, "Actually, I have become accustomed to being here over the years. It was really uncomfortable at first, but then I gradually got used to it. I am really reluctant to leave now."

On the other side, in the government office of Shenxiang City, Lu Xuan drank the special roasted tea of ​​Southern Xinjiang, looked at Lu Chao and said: "The things here are finally over. With the achievements of Southern Xinjiang, it will not be a problem to be promoted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Let's clean up For a moment, follow me back to Tiandu in a few days."

……

"Most of it is true. The imperial court has more detailed historical materials. You can take a look after you return to Tiandu." Lu Xuan said with a smile. The imperial court has never stopped exploring the Gu Kun Dynasty in these years, so he can Confirm the authenticity of what Badong said.

"No, when I come back, I will take you with me." Lu Xuan smiled.

After staying in Southern Xinjiang for a few days and sorting out the future affairs of Southern Xinjiang, Lu Xuan came to an ancient village under the guidance of the Lord of Badongdong.

"Your Majesty, this ancestral village is where we from Badong offer sacrifices every year. There were still people living here before, but now everyone has lived in the city or has their own fixed residence. There are only some old people left in the ancestral village." The Lord of Dongdong introduced to Lu Xuan: "This secret treasure is sacrificed in this ancient village. According to the words left by our ancestors, this secret treasure can only be obtained by those who have reunited with the Mountain and River Seals, but we don't know whether it is because of the reunion of the mountains and rivers." How much, His Majesty is now gathered in all the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou, so it should be considered." Lu Xuan heard this and nodded: "The empress must have a reason for leaving this admonishment, let's take a look first before talking about it."

Reuniting the Mountain and River Seal may not necessarily be a embarrassment for future generations, but may also be a condition for obtaining this treasure. The specific details need to be seen to know.

In fact, although Badong has been passed down for a long time, many of its rules have become mere formalities. They themselves do not know the meaning of many rituals and rules. They just continue to learn the methods of their ancestors.

After worshiping the ancestors of Badong with Lord Badong, under the leadership of Lord Badong, we came to a huge underground palace under the altar. The underground palace was very old, and there were many different and orthodox formations inside. of magic circle.

"This is the witch formation of our Shenwudong." The master of Shenwudong explained to Lu Xuan with a little pride: "Your Majesty, be careful. If you accidentally go wrong, you may be attacked by the witch formation."

"Does Shenwudong have a method of killing with a curse?" Lu Xuan thought of Ji Huan's death that year. According to the news he got later, it was probably because of the curse of the Wu clan.

"The cost of the curse-killing method is very high. It is a secret of our witch clan. Decades ago, some tribesmen used the curse-killing technique on others, and then died suddenly." The Lord of the Divine Witch Dongdong nodded. , said with some disgust: "I don't know who it is. Since then, we have decided to return to our clan. This curse-killing technique cannot be performed by others. Not to mention the curse-killing emperor, even some high-ranking officials, this fate backlash is not I can bear it."

"That's it." Lu Xuan nodded.

While talking, the group of people came to the depths of the underground palace. In the center of a palace, there was an altar. On the altar was built a mini palace complex, covering an area of ​​about one foot. Around the main hall, there was a thick gray mist, which was actually the same as before. Just like the gray fog when Lu Xuan obtained the Reincarnation Seal in the Hengduan Mountains, a light gray fog enveloped the surroundings of the hall. As soon as he got closer, he felt a cold air coming, making people feel chilled all over.

"Ang~"

Within Lu Xuan's body, there was a faint dragon roar, and a golden dragon shadow emerged from Lu Xuan's body. The gray mist that was approaching Lu Xuan disappeared instantly, and there was a sneer in the air.

Is this gray fog actually aggressive? It had never appeared in the Hengduan Mountains before.

"Your Majesty, we can only stay here with Your Majesty. If we get any closer, we won't be able to bear it anymore!" The Lord of the Divine Witch Dongdong looked at Lu Xuan with some pain. Obviously, they were unable to get close to this thing.

"Hold on!"

Lu Xuan nodded, and under the protection of the golden dragon, he slowly approached the altar. The gray mist around him seemed to be stimulated and surged towards Lu Xuan. Every time some of it was consumed, new gray mist would appear, as if in an endless stream.

When Lu Xuan walked all the way to the edge of the altar, he finally stopped. The erosion of the gray mist had begun to penetrate the golden light that protected his body. If he moved forward, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the gray mist.

But when we got here, we could clearly see the palace group on the altar. In the gray mist, the outline of the palace group could be seen clearly. There are ten palaces in total. Each mini palace has a plaque with the following The characters are somewhat similar to ancient Kunwen, but they are different.

You must know that through the Daomeng collection of books over the years, Lu Xuan has carefully studied the writing of the ancient Kun Dynasty. If it is the ancient Kun writing, it is impossible for him to not know every word.

Faintly, Lu Xuan felt that the national destiny in his body had an inexplicable connection and resonance with the ten palaces in front of him, but when he wanted to go further, he was blocked by the gray mist. At this time, even Lu Xuan's body-protecting golden dragon could not fully control the gray mist. If you block it, if you go further, there will be danger.

However, I have already made a judgment in my heart. These ten temples, like the Samsara Seal, are authentic things, and they are authentic things related to the human realm.

And my current luck is indeed not enough to touch it. When I think of the words left by the empress, that I need to reunite the Mountain and River Seal to control this thing, it is really not just talk.

Since you can't take it by force, let's put it down for the time being. Now is not the time for this thing to be born. When your own reincarnation blood seal god son appears, we will take a look.

At that moment, Lu Xuan exited the underground palace, looked at the Lord of Badongdong waiting outside, thought for a while and said: "It is difficult for me to get this thing for the time being. If I come to pick it up in the future, it may not be me. I will leave a token behind. I will hold the token when the time comes." The person who comes here is the one appointed by me to retrieve the object. I would like to trouble all the cave owners to continue to guard this object. The imperial court will also send experts to guard it."

"Yes!"
