Origin

Seeing that Jiang Zhu remembered this, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you recognize the person who exchanged bronze medals with you?"

"I recognize it, it's Hu Laosan from Leprongling Ridge." Jiang Zhu said.

"Very good." Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. Jiang Zhen had said before that most of the people in Leprous Ridge were ugly. He was planning to go to Leprole Ridge after visiting Qingshan. Jiang Zhu also confirmed that the bronze medal was easily exchanged back then. The person who gave it to him came from Leprous Ridge, and he also knew his name, which made it much easier to find him.

"But Hu Laosan has been dead for many years, and the Holy Master can't find him." Jiang Zhu said.

"It's an expected thing," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "How many bronze medals are there in total?"

"Three sides." Jiang Zhu said.

"Where are you now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It was given to City Lord Jiang Xiu as a gift a few years ago," Jiang Zhu replied.

"How many years ago?" Wu Zhongyuan continued to ask.

"Five years? Maybe six years. People are old and have poor memory. I can't remember clearly." Jiang Zhu shook his head.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was about to get up, Wan Shanhong asked, "Why did you give those three bronze medals to Jiang Xiu as a gift? What's so special about those three bronze medals?"

Jiang Zhu turned to look at Wan Shanhong after hearing this. He didn't know Wan Shanhong, but even Yong Wang Jiang Zhen stayed outside the door, but Wan Shanhong was able to go into the house with him. This shows that Wan Shanhong and Wu Zhongyuan have a close relationship. Thinking of this Chu Bian did not shy away from concealment and replied, "The three bronze medals record the method of alchemy. Jiang Xiu is proficient in the art of alchemy in the furnace. This thing may be of great use to him."

Wan Shanhong asked again, "You got those three bronze medals thirty years ago. Why didn't you give them to others until five or six years ago?"

Jiang Zhu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

After hesitating for a long time, he said sarcastically, "Every year when the city lord celebrates his birthday, we and everyone else have to present gifts. In the early days, when I was old and still in office, I couldn't find decent birthday gifts. After I am old and stay at home, it is difficult to grow anything, so I can only use the three sides. The bronze medal was given to the Lord of the City as a congratulatory gift."

Fǔbài existed in all dynasties. Although Wu Zhongyuan was angry, he did not show it. He just asked, "You gave him the bronze medal. How did he react?"

"I'm so happy, so many gifts in return." Jiang Zhu said.

Hearing Jiang Zhu's words, Wu Zhongyuan and Wan Shanhong looked at each other. Jiang Xiu's actions showed that he knew the value of these three bronze medals.

"Your Majesty, before giving the bronze medal to Jiang Xiu, the old man had a rubbing." Jiang Zhu reported proactively.

Wu Zhongyuan asked greatly, "Where is the rubbing now?"

Jiang Zhu stood up tremblingly and went to the east room. Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wan Shanhong. The latter understood, stepped forward to help Jiang Zhu, and went to the east room with Jiang Zhu.

After a sound of turning, the two people came out of the east room. Jiang Zhu held a roll of cotton cloth in his hand. The cotton cloth had turned yellow. He untied the rope and spread it out. It was the rubbings of three bronze medals with the inscriptions on them. The content corresponds exactly to what the old blind man said.

Wu Zhongyuan looked at them one by one, tied them up again, and then took out two Qi-boosting elixirs and a dark blue elixir from his waist bag and put them on the table. Due to the limitation of his talent, Jiang Zhu's cultivation has been extremely slow in the past thirty years. So far, he has only cultivated blue energy.

"Keep these three pills," Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice, "Don't tell anyone about our conversation today, otherwise it will harm our descendants."

Jiang Zhucheng was so frightened that he thanked her repeatedly but failed to agree.

The two of them didn't wait long, pushed open the door and walked out. Jiang Zhen walked up quickly and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to Jiang Xiu's residence?"

Jiang Zhen's words illustrate two problems. First, he heard the conversation between the two and Jiang Zhu, and second, this man is rare and will not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It is precisely because Jiang Zhen can't pretend to be deaf and dumb that Wu Zhongyuan likes this person. In fact, he knows very well that with Jiang Zhen's spiritual energy cultivation, Jiang Zhen can clearly hear the conversation between the three of them in the room. What he warned Jiang Zhu before is true. He was also indirectly warning Jiang Zhen.

"Lead the way." Wu Zhongyuan nodded to Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen went first, followed by the two others.

Since Jiang Xiu died in the battle not long ago, his family members had not yet moved out of the city lord's mansion, so the three of them went straight there. On the way, they met Jiang Guangping, the deputy city lord who came after hearing the news, and the four of them went to the city lord's mansion together.

When they learned that the Yellow Emperor was coming in person, Jiang Xiu's family members were frightened to come out to greet them. Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything to them and directly ordered Jiang Xiu's widow to take them to Jiang Xiu's storage place.

In modern terms, Jiang Xiu was a corrupt official. Jiang Xiu's widow had a guilty conscience and was frightened and panicked. However, Huang Di dared not deceive her when he came in person, so he had to take the three of them to a secret room underneath the mansion.

The secret room contains all kinds of things that Jiang Xiu has collected throughout his life. Compared with modern corrupt officials, Jiang Xiu's greed for these things is not very large, but in ancient times when materials were scarce, Jiang Xiu was already considered a huge greedy person. The widow only thought that the three men were here to ransack her home, and she fell to her knees in fright, shaking like chaff.

The three of them took matters into their own hands and searched extensively, but after a long time they could not find the three bronze medals.

After searching to no avail, Wu Zhongyuan turned his attention to the widow. This person was around forty years old. Since he knew the mechanism that opened the secret room, it meant that he had a good relationship with Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu would not hide anything from her.

After questioning, the widow indeed knew the whereabouts of the three bronze medals. Two years ago, Jiang Xiu gave the three bronze medals to Jiang Zheng, the leader of the Niu clan.

Jiang Zhen has been stationed outside these years and has a very normal relationship with his father Jiang Zheng and brother Jiang Tao. Hearing the widow's words, he turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. Now that he had obtained the rubbings of three bronze medals, the originals were not so important, and there was no need to run to the mountains anymore. What he was looking for was the Hunyuan Cauldron. The bronze medal came from Leprous Ridge, so the focus of his search should be on Leprous Ridge.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Jiang Zhen looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling widow.

"This is your fief, you can handle it as you see fit." Wu Zhongyuan said casually. After saying this, he thought that Jiang Xiu had died in the battle, and it was unbenevolent to confiscate the house at this time, so he changed his mind temporarily, "That's all, the merits and demerits are equal, no reward will be given. As punishment, leave the things to them."

"Follow the Holy Order." Jiang Zhen nodded in agreement.

The widow was so frightened that she even forgot to thank her. It was not until Jiang Zhen reminded her that she came back to her senses, kowtowed and burst into tears.

Wu Zhongyuan did not stay and left the secret room with Wan Shanhong first. Jiang Zhen stayed behind and warned Jiang Xiu's widow to keep her mouth shut and not to make any announcement.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Jiang Zhen said, "Leprosy Ridge is four hundred miles due west of here, and there are more than two hundred people in the village. It is rumored that the reason why the people there are ugly and frightening is that they are suffering from leprosy, but we We once sent people over to check and found out that what they were suffering from was not leprosy, but a strange disease with no known cause. Since the ancestors of the Leper Village made a living by robbing graves, some people suspected that they were desecrating the spirits of the dead and were cursed."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he lived in ancient times, he had received modern higher education. The curse was mostly nonsense and not worthy of belief.

"If there is no mission from the Holy One, will this subordinate go back now?" Jiang Zhen said.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately. Jiang Zhen knew that the two of them were going to Leprous Ridge next, and was worried that he would be in the way, so he explained the situation and took the initiative to leave. This shows that Jiang Zhen is not a martial artist, and he is still very smart.

After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Don't rush back to Xiaoshan. You can work hard and go to Lianshan to find out the whereabouts of the three bronze medals."

"Okay." Jiang Zhen nodded.

"Go early and come back early. We will return to Xiaoshan later today to stay." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Jiang Zhen nodded again, and the three soldiers divided into two groups, Jiang Zhen went north, and the two went west.

After leaving Qingshan, Wan Shanhong said, "Ji people have God's help. This trip went very smoothly."

"If we haven't found the Hunyuan Cauldron, we can't say it's going well." Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Wan Shanhong, "What kind of place is Leprong Ridge?"

Wan Shanhong shook his head, "Leaf Ridge is located in the Western Desert. I rarely come here on weekdays."

Wu Zhongyuan said, "You also heard what Jiang Zhen said just now. The ancestors of Leprongling Ridge made a living by robbing graves. The three bronze medals in Hu Laosan's hand were probably brought out by him or his tribe from a certain mausoleum. "

Wan Shanhong glanced at Wu Zhongyuan without commenting.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "If this is true, the Hunyuan Ding was buried in an ancient tomb five thousand years ago."

Wan Shanhong did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but said, "Everyone in Leprong Ridge has probably been cursed by the Hunyuan Cauldron."

"Why did you say this?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled.

"How much do you know about the Hunyuan Cauldron?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"Not much." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"The Hunyuan Cauldron can refine Tiange ninth-level elixirs, but at the same time it also brings endless killing and plunder," Wan Shanhong said, "This cauldron can balance Yin and Yang, neutralize the five elements, and all elements containing spiritual energy can Objects can be put into it and turned into Qi-boosting elixirs. In order to snatch the treasures of heaven, earth, materials and alien inner elixirs, you can imagine what will happen."

Hearing Wan Shanhong's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. According to Wan Shanhong, the Hunyuan Cauldron is like a corpse furnace. Qi practitioners will rob and wreak havoc everywhere in order to obtain the qi-tonifying pills that improve their cultivation. Killing.

"The Hunyuan Cauldron is not only extremely yin-filled, but also carries the resentment of the undead. Everyone in Leprongling Ridge must have been cursed by the undead." Wan Shanhong said.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "The people in Leprong Ridge have been ugly for a long time. According to your statement, they should have entered the tomb where the Hunyuan Cauldron was sealed many years ago. The three bronze medals were not brought out by Hu Laosan himself."

"It's possible." Wan Shanhong nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan did not argue with Wan Shanhong. The two were taking a bird to Leprong Ridge at this time, and the specific situation would be known soon.

Meafong Ridge is easy to find. It is a village built on the mountain. Unlike ordinary villages that face north and south, the village in Meafeng Ridge faces east and west. The houses in the village are very dilapidated, and the fences outside are often damaged. When the two arrived, the people in the village were cooking dinner. The sun was setting, the smoke was swaying, and it looked dilapidated and desolate.

There are wooden fences around the stockade and a gatehouse exit. The dilapidated gate is open and there are no guards guarding it.

The arrival of the giant eagle alarmed the people in the village. They all came out of their houses and walked to the open space to look east.

Fortunately, Wu Zhongyuan had been mentally prepared in advance. Otherwise, he would have been shocked by these people. Not only were the people in Leprong Ridge ugly, they also had many physical disabilities. Of the dozens of people who came out, only seven or eight were normal.

"This is a group of cursed people." Wan Shanhong looked at everyone.

"No, it has nothing to do with the curse." Wu Zhongyuan slowly shook his head.

Wan Shanhong was puzzled and tilted her head to look at him.

"This is a genetic mutation caused by severe radiation." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What?" Wan Shanhong naturally couldn't understand what Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Nothing, let's go in and take a look..."
