Chapter 161, the envoy of King Tuo
Cheng Wuting, Chen Ziang, and Pei Ting said goodbye to Dazhao Village and headed north. Cheng Wuting took a shortcut and hurried back to the capital, while Chen Ziang came to Guangzhou City. Guangzhou was already the seat of the Lingnan Dao Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, and it was close to the sea in the south. The city was paved with white bricks
The road is neat and about ten feet wide.
At noon that day, Chen Ziang came to Dafenggang in Ma'anshan (today's Baiyun Mountain). He had already heard about the burial of King Tuo. It is said that after King Zhao Tuo died at the age of 101, a large funeral was held outside the city, east, west, south and north.
They are all tightly guarded by the army. There are four coffins buried in the city at the same time, one in the east, one in the north and one in the south. No one knows where the tomb of King Tuo is exactly.
But on the map of King Tuo, Chen Ziang could vaguely see the figure of Ma'anshan, just a few faint strokes. Zhao Mei, the second king of Nanyue Kingdom, and Zhao Ying, the third king of Nanyue Kingdom, were both buried in Xianggang Mountain (today's Yuexiu Mountain) outside Guangzhou. Could it be that King Tuo was there?
Will he be buried in Ma'anshan? Chen Ziang hesitated for a long time, but based on the map, he went to Ma'anshan to check.
The grass was miserable, and only a woodcutter and a few white sheep could be seen. Chen Ziang walked around the foot of the mountain and checked carefully, but found no trace of the cemetery. About evening, he returned to the same place and saw a few white sheep.
The sheep had disappeared and they were probably rushing home. The woodcutter also tied up the firewood and saw Chen Ziang sitting on a big stone from a distance.
Chen Zi'ang closed his eyes and took a nap, and heard the sound of gravel coming from the woodcutter. The woodcutter stopped in front of Chen Zi'ang and said, "Is this here to sacrifice to King Tuo?" Chen Zi'ang opened his eyes in surprise, and the woodcutter was wiping his sweat.
He nodded and said, "I am indeed here to look for the tomb of King Zhao Tuo."
The woodcutter's accent was that of an authentic northerner. The woodcutter said, "What else do you know?" Chen Zi'ang was stunned, and he became more and more surprised. He said, "I also know the map left by King Tuo."
The woodcutter smiled and said, "Yes, you can take it with you." Chen Zi'ang was startled again. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "This..."
The woodcutter paused for a moment and asked: "Do you know the first sentence of King Tuo's spell?" Chen Ziang had no doubts and knew that this man had a great relationship with King Tuo. He said: "The powerful King Tuo, a hundred thousand troops are in danger."
Just like the law, ride the horse and gallop." As soon as these words were spoken, a muffled thunder exploded in the sky. The woodcutter nodded and said: "Okay, no need to read it again. You are indeed the general of gods and ghosts designated by King Tuo."
Chen Ziang said repeatedly: "I don't lie in front of real people. I just got the map and spell of King Tuo by chance. I am not a general." The woodcutter smiled and said: "General, there is no need to be humble. I have been waiting here for hundreds of years, and finally
I'll wait for you." Chen Zi'ang asked in surprise: "Senior, who is he?"
The woodcutter waved his hand and said: "General, you don't need to care about who I am. I'm just telling you that the human, ghost and divine soldiers you control need to be sacrificed regularly to maintain their combat effectiveness." Chen Zi'ang said: "How to sacrifice?"
The woodcutter said: "You only need to offer sacrifices in the Lion Tower in Changle County. It has been hundreds of years, and you should replace their weapons. They are all elites in the Qin army. They once swept through the wilderness and were invincible.
"
"In addition, do not mobilize them unless it is absolutely necessary." The woodcutter said: "This unnatural thing may change the real world and cause endless chaos and disaster."
Chen Ziang listened carefully to what he said, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, senior, for your advice." When he looked up again, the woodcutter had disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. He looked up at the sky, and the thick clouds summoned by the spell had dispersed, revealing a clear sky and sunset.
Chen Ziang touched his chest and found that the map was still there. He knelt down to Ma'anshan and said in his heart: "Thank you King Tuo for giving us 30,000 ghosts and gods. It's unbelievable. If you don't experience it yourself, who can believe that there is another realm in the world?"
.”
He also laid out the paper money, cattle and sheep he carried in the bag and burned them, then gave Ma'anshan a big gift before leaving.
