Speaking of Xixia Taizu Shi Potian, Zou Cailiang immediately said: "Why do you ask this?"
Long Chen said: "I read some historical materials in Xixia, but the records in those historical materials are unclear. I just want to ask about the local legends."
The so-called "seeking the wild people after losing etiquette" is not recorded in historical materials, but may be found in folk legends.
Zou Cailiang smiled and said: "You asked the right person, I really know."
Long Chen was overjoyed. As expected, there was a local legend about Shi Potian.
"It is said that this Shi Potian originally came from a poor family in the Lin Kingdom. Later, he was promoted to a general due to his military exploits and took control of the Lin Kingdom's government."
"Later, he fought with Wu Sheng and was defeated by Wu Sheng, so he defected to Wu Sheng."
"After that, Shi Potian followed Wu Sheng in the north and south, conquered the country, pacified the world, and was named the King of Xixia."
Long Chen nodded slightly. He knew all these legends, and there wasn't much novelty about them.
"However, the most widely circulated story in the local area is the legend about Shi Potian slaying demons."
Long Chen immediately asked: "How did you say that?"
Zou Cailiang said: "It is said that Shi Potian followed the Martial Saint to conquer the barbarians in the north and encountered a demon. Taizu used sacred wood to make a demon-slaying knife and defeated the demon."
Long Chen frowned and said: "This legend matches the historical records of Xixia. The historical records of Xixia show that Shi Potian followed Wu Sheng in the northern expedition. Wu Chen, the son of the barbarian Chanyu, summoned the ghost tribe to enter the fortress, and Wu Sheng was defeated."
"But the Xixia historical materials do not record what happened next. How the Martial Saint defeated the Ghost Clan is not said."
Zou Cailiang said: "This legend is in my hometown, Shenmu Town. It is said that the Martial Saint was defeated by the ghost tribe. Shi Potian returned to Shenmu Town, cut the sacred tree into a weapon, killed the demons, pacified the world, and then was named the King of Xixia."
Long Chen asked: "What is the sacred tree?"
Zou Cailiang said: "You have seen this before, it is the tree in the giant forest. When the trees in the giant forest grow for a hundred years, their wood cores are impervious to water and fire and are as tough as iron."
It was indeed a giant forest. Long Chen's guess was correct.
"Wait a moment."
Long Chen immediately returned to the armory room, took Shi Potian's wooden sword back to the living room, handed it to Zou Cailiang, and said, "Take a look, is it this?"
Zou Cailiang rubbed it carefully, tapped it with his fingers, and said with great certainty: "Yes, this is it! Where did you get it?"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "This is Taizu Shi Potian's holy sword, and I brought it back."
Zou Cailiang raised the wooden sword and said, "No wonder it's so good. It's better than what I have at home."
Long Chen was surprised and said: "Do you have one at home too?"
But think about it, Zou Cailiang's hometown is in Shenmu Town, right next to the giant forest. Maybe he used this thing as firewood, so it wouldn't be surprising to have a wooden sword.
Zou Cailiang said proudly: "You don't know something. Our Zou family is a forest-protecting family appointed by Wu Sheng."
Uh family ranger?
"Do you, the Zou family, have any connection with the Martial Saint?"
Long Chen was a little surprised.
Zou Cailiang smiled and said: "It can be said that our Zou family made demon-slaying weapons for the Martial Saint, and then we have been guarding the giant wood forest."
"Because of the legend of the Martial Saint slaying demons, we people in Shenmu Town do not cut down the giant forest. Only the last time you hunted down the Tianxiahui and burned the giant forest."
Long Chen asked awkwardly: "Did it burn?"
Zou Cailiang smiled and said: "It's okay, unless it's a fire from the sky, or it's struck by lightning, ordinary fire can't burn it."
Long Chen felt relieved.
That giant forest must be of great use and must not be destroyed.
"Why are you so concerned about this matter? Did you also encounter demons among the barbarians?"
Zou Cailiang said this as a joke and had no other meaning.
Long Chen smiled and said: "No, I just find it interesting and want to know about some of the past events of the Martial Saint."
Zou Cailiang said: "There is another legend about the demon-slaying weapon, and the sacred tree alone is not enough."
"Look at this holy sword of the Taizu of Xixia. There are several holes here. It is said that gems must be inlaid here."
Long Chen had long discovered that there were several holes in the wooden sword, and he thought they had been poached by someone.
This wooden sword was deified, and maybe someone would dig up some of it and use it as a medicine guide when they were sick.
There are many superstitious elements in ancient medicine, such as using the toilet board to boil water to drink when you are sick, and all kinds of weird ideas.
"Gem? What gem?"
Zou Cailiang shook his head and said: "It's too long ago, almost four hundred years ago. These are the only legends I know."
Long Chen fiddled with the wooden sword and sighed slightly: "It seems that someone deliberately erased this period of history."
Zou Cailiang asked strangely: "Erase it on purpose? Who erased it on purpose? What are you trying to hide?"
Outside the door, Zhang Qian pulled Zou Kai in.
"father!"
Zou Kai ran headlong into Zou Cailiang's arms.
Zou Cailiang touched the tiger-headed Zou Kai and said with a smile: "You have grown up so much! Did you practice well in Lao Zhuguo's mansion?"
Zou Kai quickly said: "Yes, I practice hard every day."
Zhang Qian knocked on Zou Kai's little head and said, "What the hell, I ran out to play with Xuan Hui just now."
Zou Cailiang frowned and said: "If you don't practice hard, you just know how to play. I will take you back to Anmu City."
The capital was much more fun than Anmucheng. Zou Kai was unwilling to go back and immediately said: "I have always practiced martial arts well. Lao Zhuguo taught me the sword technique."
Long Chen did not disturb the reunion of father and son, and went out with Zhang Qian to welcome the guests.
Xifeng City, Jade Buddha Tower.
An old man wearing commoner clothes, with a hunched back and a goatee slowly walked into the backyard.
When he reached the secret room, the old man stopped and said, "Jian Chen, my subordinate, would like to pay my respects to the building owner."
The old man's voice was very gentle and sounded like a kind elder.
"Come in."
Shen Wanjin responded inside.
Jian Chen pushed the door open and walked in. Shen Wanjin got up from the low couch.
After obtaining the Mad Lion Art, Shen Wanjin practiced day and night.
The last time Long Chen showed his power, the terrifying power that surpassed that of the Martial Emperor deeply shocked Shen Wanjin.
His cultivation has reached its peak, and the only way to break through to the Martial Emperor realm is the Mad Lion Art.
This is one of the three secret techniques left by Wu Sheng, and Shen Wanjin wants to use this to break through.
"Sit down."
Shen Wanjin got up and walked a few steps in the secret room, while Jian Chen sat down on the chair next to him.
"The target this time is Gan Xin!"
Shen Wanjin's voice was cold, with disappointment, hatred and disgust in his tone.
Jian Chen stroked his goatee, nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"
Jian Chen and Gan Xin were old acquaintances, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Wanjin said Gan Xin's name, which means that Gan Xin betrayed Wanjinlou.
There is no friendship to be had with traitors.
"After killing Gan Xin, you will be in charge of Xixia Hall."
Yan Shuangyu left, You Fengyi followed him, Shen Wanjin had no one available now, and Xixia Hall had to be chaired by someone.
After much deliberation, I can only let Jian Chen serve as the head of Xixia Hall.
Wanjinlou's business is not as much as before, and there is no need for so many assassins.
"Am I responsible? I have never managed the hall."
Jian Chen has always been a watcher, only responsible for assassinating traitors. He has never managed the hall, and he doesn't want to.
Shen Wanjin said: "This is an order."
Jian Chen immediately bowed and said, "I obey my orders."
Shen Wanjin said coldly: "Go and bring Ganxin's head."
Jian Chen immediately exited the secret room and headed towards Xixia.
Shen Wanjin sighed slightly: "The fat meat given by Long Chengen is poisonous."
Shen Wanjin felt anxious in his heart. Although he made more money after taking over the Tianxiahui business, he felt that Wanjin Tower was getting worse and worse.
I fell into a honey pot. The honey was very sweet, but I was stuck and couldn't struggle out.
With so much property and so much money, Shen Wanjin couldn't bear to throw it away.
But after staying in the pile of money for a long time, people become lazy and corrupt.
Mountains of swords and seas of fire are coming, and sugar-coated bullets are difficult to deal with.
