The old man glanced at the ghost corpse and Qinglong, but ignored them and said slowly.
"Hundreds of years ago, there were disputes in the world, heroes rose up, and several human nations fought against each other. The Southern Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. People were ashamed to join the army. Three people were in business, and everyone was doing business. This led to economic prosperity, developed commerce, and long-distance sea connections.
inside and outside.
The economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, and people became lazy. There were traitorous ministers in the court, and successive Song emperors paid tribute to various countries in exchange for peace.
At that time, there was a man who defeated the Yuan army and could have regained China, but was accused by the treacherous surrender faction and was sentenced to death. That man was Yue Fei.
During the hundreds of years of the Song Dynasty, there were many opportunities to recover the mountains and rivers, but they were all wasted!
Finally, the Yuan army marched straight down, and the Song Dynasty had no available generals, so they had to retreat steadily, and finally retreated to a coast. The emperor was only seven years old at the time, and the prime minister, carrying their little emperor on his back, jumped into the water and died.
The rest of the soldiers were unwilling to join the Yuan army, so they all jumped into the sea and died for their country."
The old man in white clothes said, his face full of sadness, as if he himself was a participant.
Xiao Yu also knows a little bit about this history. The old man in white is talking about the Yashan Change, which happened on the coast of Guangzhou now.
The Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be the first time that foreigners were massacred. Some scholars say that in fact, at that time, the Han people had already been massacred.
Yes, after the Yuan army under Kublai Khan captured the Southern Song Dynasty, they burned, killed, looted, and massacred many Han people. Natural disasters, plagues, etc. broke out in many places, which brought serious disasters to people.
However, the Yuan army led by Kublai Khan was the most militant, and its land area was also extremely vast, including Europe, Russia and other places now, which have become the territory of China.
Of course, at that time, Japan was also conquered by the Yuan Dynasty, but faced each other across the sea and ended in failure!
"Then what happens next? Senior should also be a participant in this matter, right?"
Xiao Yu asked softly.
"I went out to practice Taoism. The first time I became a wealthy businessman, and the second time I turned into a beggar. I was begging for food on the streets and was humiliated by humans. My life was about to come to an end. Finally, the Prime Minister Lu Xiufu saw that I was pitiful and gave me some buns.
, I can survive.
In order to repay his life-saving grace, I said that I could help him fulfill one of his wishes, but I would not do anything like murder.
He was overjoyed at that time and handed the then young emperor Zhao Bing to me and asked me to take him away.
Also going to sea were twenty ships, all of which were filled with gold, silver and jewels, to be used by the restoration of the country in the future.”
The old man in white spoke very slowly, and Xiao Yu and the others listened in fascination. They really didn't know about this hidden secret.
"Then what happened later? Could it be that the emperor who jumped into the sea during the Yashan Incident was a fake?"
Qinglong asked again doubtfully.
"Well, that's a farmer's child, and the emperor has actually been taken away by me!
But what's the use of taking it away? Mortal life is short. After arriving on the island, I handed over the emperor to his men and fell asleep.
When I woke up, half a year had passed, but the little emperor had chickenpox because he was not acclimatized to the climate. In addition, there were no medicinal materials on the island, so he died within a few months!
You say, isn’t this his life? I crossed the ocean and brought them here, but the little emperor only lived for half a year.
Alas...it's also my fault. If I hadn't fallen asleep, I could have saved him, but it was too late! I could only hide their treasures and wait for their royal descendants to come and get them.
One hundred years is really tiring."
After the old man in white clothes finished speaking, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. It can be imagined that this matter has been pressing in his heart for thousands of years.
That is a treasure, not to mention humans, even some lawless monks will covet it, so the fewer people know about it, the better.
Xiao Yu now figured out the truth of the matter, which was a bit stranger than he thought.
And this senior has been waiting for hundreds of years. This kind of love is much more meaningful than human friendship.
"Senior, don't be sad. People have their fortunes and misfortunes, and dynasties rise and fall. It's all destiny and we can't change it!
The Song Dynasty was almost a thousand years ago. Even if their descendants exist, they have been passed down for more than ten generations. It is not easy to find them!
Even if they knew about the ancient jade, they would not come looking for these things because the price is too high."
Looking for treasures is something everyone has. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they all have the dream of getting rich overnight, but are treasures really that easy to find?
"Xiao Yu is right. Today is no better than before. Although transportation is more convenient, management is also stricter. Even if you have the heart, you don't have the funds, let alone the strength."
What Qinglong said is, of course, the current Marine Management Law. If you want to enter the high seas, you have to go through many countries and checkpoints. And when you come to the ocean, you have to face pirates and so on. There are many things involved. Without two brushes, it is really impossible.
came here.
The old man in white agreed with what the two said and nodded immediately.
"You are right. When I brought them here, it took me a year. If I hadn't followed them, all of them would have died, so I entrusted you to go back and help find the descendants of the Song Dynasty and bring them to see them.
See me and my mission is accomplished."
Looking for descendants of the Song Dynasty is too big a goal!
Nowadays, there are probably millions of people in China with the surname Zhao. How can we find the descendants of the Song Dynasty among these people?
Even if some people are descendants of the Song Dynasty royal family, they may not even know it. How can they judge?
"Senior, this matter is very difficult. To find three people among millions of people is undoubtedly to find a needle in a haystack. And hundreds of years have passed. Even if there are descendants of the royal family, they themselves may not know it."
Xiao Yu expressed his concerns.
"No, at that time there was a piece of ancient jade that I had blessed with magic power. It was divided into three pieces. I can feel that it is still in the world!
I just don’t know who owns the ancient jade now, and it might be sold off, but as long as it’s still there, there’s hope in this matter.”
The old man in white clothes said, taking out something that looked like a dragon's horn.
"This is the horn that fell off when I was going through the tribulation. With the blessing of my magic power, whenever an ancient jade appears, the dragon horn will sense it."
The horn on the hand of the old man in white is a horn only the size of a thumb, white as snow, with a little bit of mana fluctuations on it.
"In this case, the juniors should be more respectful than obey orders. As long as I find them, I will bring them over as soon as possible."
The seniors in front of me had given a few of them a blessing, and this matter was not a big deal. As long as I walked around more, I could always find it.
"good.....".
The old man in white was overjoyed, touched his beard and continued, "I can sense this dragon horn. If you are in any danger, you can send spiritual energy into the dragon horn, and I will know. I will help you once, but it can only be a life-threatening matter."
, I won’t do anything small.”
The old man once again made such a promise, which made Xiao Yu look ecstatic.
A great immortal's promise is very valuable. Although it is only once, it is enough to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory.
Moreover, Xiao Yu will prepare to open Maoshan when he returns, and there will definitely be no peace at that time. If this senior can be there at that time, he will definitely intimidate the Xuanmen in all directions.
