Chapter 194 The Tomb of the God of Heavenly Fox—The Seal of Heaven
The car drove forward in the night. Chen Zhi and Lao Jiandou were very quiet along the way and did not say a word.
When the car passed by the Sheshi Pavilion, it did not drive in. Instead, it drove along the avenue and drove into the depths of Qianhua Mountain.
After driving for a long time, there were no street lights on the roadside. The car was driving on the winding mountain road. The moonlight in the mountains was very bright, illuminating the surrounding trees very clearly. After driving for a while, I saw something not far ahead.
There, a large manor appeared.
The location of this manor looks very secluded. There is no road in front of the door. There are big trees on both sides of the door. The lush leaves cover the manor, making it difficult for passers-by to find it.
Old Somerset's car turned a corner here and drove in slowly.
The manor is very large. There is a large piece of grass in the yard, and there is nothing else. There is a lot of water vapor in the air, and the humidity is very high.
After Chen Zhi got out of the car, he saw a two-story building with light blue walls and a Mediterranean style. After Lao Jiandou locked the car, he waved his hand, motioning for Chen Zhi to follow him and walked into the villa.
The interior of the villa was magnificently decorated, but there was no sign that anyone had lived there. It looked more like an exhibition hall. After passing through the villa, they walked out of the back door. Only then did Chen Zhi see that there was a large
of natural hot springs.
The hot spring was the size of a small artificial lake, which was naturally formed in a valley. The sky was full of water vapor, the moon was misty, and the surroundings were filled with smoke.
On the shore of the hot spring is a large green grassland with many lounge chairs placed on it. The blue belt warriors Chen Zhi had seen before were all sitting here to rest.
In the middle of the hot spring lake, you can see a pavilion in various shapes, and there is a very narrow stone path on the water that leads directly to the pavilion. There is no other way.
Lao Jiandou pointed to the pavilion in the middle and said, "Go ahead! Mr. Bao is waiting for you there."
Chen Zhi glanced at the gravel path. The path was winding toward the center of the lake and was only narrow enough for one person to walk.
Chen Zhi looked back at Old Somersault and saw that he had no intention of following him. The blue belt warriors on the grass didn't even look at him as if they hadn't seen him.
Chen Zhi walked straight towards the path. As soon as he stepped onto the stone path, the warm water vapor around him immediately hit his face. Chen Zhi walked on this lonely road, feeling like he was walking on a tightrope. After he walked for a long time,
The pavilion in the middle of the lake was finally revealed. It was a Chinese-style pavilion with red railings and a stone platform. There were some wine cabinets placed on the stone platform, and in the middle was a circular hot spring pool.
Mr. Bao was soaking alone in the hot spring at this time. The solid muscles of his upper body were exposed, and the scary scars on his left arm were still shocking. He was holding a red wine glass in his hand and drinking wine leisurely.
Mr. Bao looked up at Chen Zhi and said calmly, "Sit down."
"Okay," Chen Zhi agreed and looked around.
This place is definitely a perfect place to discuss secrets. It is surrounded by hot spring water and no sound can escape. And there is absolutely no need to worry that there will be people hiding around.
On the top of the stone platform was a row of stone benches, all covered with moisture. Chen Zhi found a slightly drier stone bench and sat down.
"Try it, it's newly brewed from the grapes in the mountains." Mr. Bao picked up another wine glass, poured some wine and handed it to Chen Zhi.
"Thank you, Master Bao." Chen Zhi took the wine glass and sat down politely.
Mr. Bao wiped his face with hot water, glanced at Chen Zhi with dark gray eyes and asked, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
Chen Zhi glanced behind Mr. Bao and saw that the stone platform behind him was covered with a low wine cabinet. There was a long plate on the wine cabinet, which contained a long object, like a knife, with a cover on it.
A piece of white cloth.
"Are you going to give me that stone-controlling weapon?" Chen Zhi replied.
"That's one thing," Mr. Bao nodded and said with a smile, "but before that, I have to tell you something more important."
Mr. Bao picked up a photo on the stone platform behind him and handed it to Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi took the photo and looked at it carefully. He had seen the thing in the photo before. It was the "King's Blood Imperial Edict" he found in Bai Qian's tomb when he went to the Fox Cave in Heilongjiang.
"Do you know what this is?" Mr. Bao asked in a low voice.
"Master Bao, I have read this imperial edict. Didn't you say that this is the imperial edict of king's blood written by King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu himself?" Chen Zhi replied.
Mr. Bao nodded slightly, smiled softly and said, "Then have you noticed the content of this imperial edict?"
When Chen Zhi heard what Master Bao said, he lowered his head and read the Royal Blood Imperial Edict carefully. He saw the bright red handwriting on it, which was vaguely legible, but he still couldn't read it in full.
I remember you said at the time that this was a divine text, and the translated meaning is "Bai Qian, the god of sin, cannibalizes countless people and commits mass killings in the cold northern land. As a result, the northern land is sparsely populated, and the sky is angry and resentful. Although I have warned him many times,
However, he complained and was disrespectful to Gu Da. Now he ordered the mighty god general to capture him and banish him to the East China Sea. He will never return! The signature is, Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty." Chen Zhi was confused at this time and did not know Leopard.
What kind of medicine is sold in my gourd?
"That's right, but that's not what I'm talking about." Mr. Bao tilted his head slightly and looked at the surrounding water, his expression suddenly became serious, "The most valuable part of this entire Royal Blood Imperial Edict is,
It lies in the red seal on the imperial edict.”
"Seal?" Chen Zhi asked in surprise. Only then did he look carefully and saw a dark red mark slightly revealed behind the red letters of the imperial edict, which was a large square seal. He had not noticed it before.
Only now can I see clearly that the pattern on the seal is very complicated and there are many incomprehensible words on it. It is different from the jade seals of princes and princes that we can see now.
Mr. Bao said seriously at this time, "The seal with this seal is the legendary Jade Seal of the Kingdom, but it has another name, called Tianxi."
At this moment, Chen Zhi had a feeling that the mystery he had never understood the most would finally have an answer. He silently took a sip of the ice wine in the glass and continued to listen to Master Bao.
Mr. Bao's tone was very soft at this time, as if he only wanted Chen Zhi to hear, "You should have heard about the legend about the jade seal, right?".
"I've heard of it", Chen Zhi replied: "This national jade seal is said to be made by He's jade. It is four inches in diameter, has five dragons on it, and is engraved on the front with the words "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever".
A seal character is a seal passed down from emperor to emperor in China. It is regarded as a symbol of the orthodoxy of the dynasty. It has been fought over by those who wanted to be emperor in the past. When Wang Mang usurped power at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he lost a corner when the Queen Mother threw it to the ground angrily.
Later, it was filled with gold. After Zhu Wen of the Five Dynasties usurped the Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, the deposed emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, took the jade seal to the building and burned himself. The whereabouts of the jade seal are still unknown."
"Very good, it seems you know a lot now." Mr. Bao praised with a smile, "But there is one thing that is incorrect. In fact, the jade seal passed down to the country was not made by the Heshi Bi, but was given by the gods.
”.
