Mr. Zhao held up his hands and saluted Tang Ming respectfully.
Later.
He sat down again and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Tang could see through the secret that I am so proud of at a glance."
"This tea grinding stick is indeed not a mortal object. When the archaeological team discovered the ancient repair ruins in Zixia Cave and started mining, this stick was thrown out as scrap. I happened to pick it up and brought it back because I thought it was interesting.
"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Tang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Archaeological team?
Zixia Cave?
Mr. Zhao, please elaborate on this matter." "Yes."
"When the Dongjiao Guest House was developed, anomalies were discovered inside the Zixia Cave. After investigation by the archaeological team, it was discovered that it was a training cave belonging to Zhou Dian, a master of the Ming Dynasty. It caused quite a stir at the time."
"I was still young at that time, and I was just an ordinary community worker who happened to be responsible for cleaning up the area here."
Mr. Zhao recalled: "At that time, this stick was swept out along with a lot of dirt and debris. After I picked it up, I thought it was an antique, so I went to the archaeological team to hand it over, but the old professor said it was an ordinary stick, not an antique.
.”
"I didn't pay attention at the time, so I took it home. Later I cleaned it and found it was quite unique, so I used it as a tea stick."
"Not to mention, I didn't pay much attention at first. Later, I found that after drinking tea crushed with this stick, my body became healthier and healthier. Even my high blood pressure lowered itself. It's amazing."
Said.
He couldn't help but put the tea stick in his hand and watch.
"Mr. Zhao, didn't the archaeological team discover anything else back then?"
Tang Ming's tone became solemn: "Please think more about what else happened at that time. This matter is extremely important to me. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zhao Xinyun also blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Mr. Tang is a very important friend of mine. Think about it carefully."
Hear this.
Tang Ming couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xinyun.
To be honest, this woman is very smart, whether she went to Zilin Garden in person last time and was rejected, or today she worked with Zhao Zhenhua to resolve the difficulties Su Yurou encountered.
Neither party said anything serious about work cooperation.
Just now she realized that she wanted to be very interested in the past events of Zixia Cave. Zhao Xinyun immediately noticed this and begged her grandfather to think more about it.
This was obviously to leave a good impression on Tang Ming.
Or you owe someone a favor.
"When you said that, it reminded me of some old things."
Mr. Zhao began to think deeply.
There was a pause.
He recalled: "The cave was discovered by an archaeological team from the provincial capital at that time. Tomb robbers were also found at the other end, so the Cultural Relics Bureau planned to investigate as soon as possible to see what was stolen inside."
"The work was in progress at the time, but one day, suddenly there was a call from the General Administration of Cultural Heritage in Kyoto, saying that all archaeological work was suspended."
"Even that night, several staff members came from the General Administration. These people did not look like archaeologists. Instead, they wore Taoist priest costumes and claimed to be people from Longhu Mountain."
"The Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain came to take over the investigation of the cultural relics and archeology team. The old professor of archeology at that time had a bad temper, and even led his men to try to stop him, and a conflict broke out. As a result..." Mr. Zhao's tone became solemn: "At that time, the archaeological team
More than a dozen young people came to the side and wanted to drive away these Taoist priests. As a result, a Taoist priest made a secret and everyone fainted in a strange way."
"I was responsible for transporting these archaeological team members who fainted to the hospital. Fortunately, these people just fell asleep and were not injured."
"Later, an order was issued from above, ordering Zixia Cave to be closed and no one was allowed to enter..." I heard this memory.
Tang Ming couldn't help but his eyes flickered.
It seems that Zixia Cave is indeed the cave where Zhou Dian, the great master of the Ming Dynasty, was imprisoned and even died in the cave, but the remaining things were taken away by those who came after him.
So when he entered the cave just now, he didn't find anything except the piece of jade.
these messages.
It also proves from another aspect that the Yu Jue information left by Zhou Dian is very reliable. The real Ming Dynasty Imperial Master was imprisoned by the monks of the Taiqing Sect, while the one who showed up was disguised by the powerful Taiqing Sect.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered one more thing."
Mr. Zhao suddenly said: "Not long after the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain settled in, one night, Jinling City was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning roared."
"There was even thunder falling, and several hills of Purple Mountain were blown to pieces. At that time, the Military and Military Administration blocked the site. Some people said that there was a battle between immortals in Purple Mountain."
When Tang Ming heard this, his sharp eyes suddenly burst into light.
He was silent for a moment.
He stood up suddenly, looked at the top of Purple Mountain, then turned to look at Su Yurou and Jin Yuerong: "Yurou, Mom, I'm going to find Mr. Fan to find out something, you guys stay here first."
"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much."
Say it.
He quickly walked out of the Dongjiao Guest House, came to a deserted place, and jumped into the air.
...The top of Purple Mountain is still shrouded in clouds and mist, with streams of golden air flashing through it, like a fairyland.
This is the location of Zijin Taoist Temple.
It's just that it's covered by the formation, so ordinary people don't even know there's something else going on at the top of Purple Mountain.
Sudden.
The void ripples.
Whoa! Tang Ming appeared on the top of the mountain. After looking around, he looked at the Zijin Taoist Temple with the door closed. After thinking for a while, he squeezed the Taoist secret and a ray of spiritual energy entered the Taoist temple.
It didn't take long.
The spiritual energy of Zijin Taoist Temple surges.
"Squeak."
The wooden door of the Taoist temple opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt carrying a long sword came out, it was Ye Hanqing.
"Master Tang?"
Ye Hanqing opened the door and was startled when he saw Tang Xuantian.
To be honest, Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, but he still apologized and said, "Master Ye, I'm sorry, I want to ask you something, but I have no choice but to disturb your practice."
Just now, the formation of the Zijin Taoist Temple was closed and surrounded by spiritual energy. It was exactly what the Taoist temple owner looked like practicing in seclusion.
Tang Ming thought it was Fan Zhongtian who was practicing.
The result was Ye Hanqing.
"It doesn't matter, Master Tang is the benefactor of Zijin Taoist Temple. It was thanks to you that we repaired the city defense formation. You are considered half owner of Zijin Mountain and can come at any time."
Ye Hanqing smiled and shook his head: "Master Tang is here to see Mr. Fan, right?"
Tang Ming nodded: "Yes."
"That's really unfortunate. Mr. Fan has already left Jinling."
Ye Hanqing explained: "In order to suppress the six Nanling families and to seek a breakthrough, Mr. Fan stayed in Purple Mountain for most of his life."
"Thanks to Master Tang, the crisis in Nanling has been resolved, the city defense array has been repaired, and Mr. Fan has successfully broken through to become a god, so he went out to travel."
"He also passed the Zijin Taoist Temple to me."
As he spoke, Ye Hanqing waved his sleeves slightly.
Whoa! A small black copper bell appeared.
This is the token of Zijin Taoist Temple.
Tang Ming was slightly startled, and then felt a little ashamed.
He and Fan Zhongtian are old friends. When he first returned to Jinling, he got acquainted with the surrounding Jinling guards. At that time, he specifically pointed out the true meaning of "if you want to become a god, you must first transform into a mortal".
Later, when he fought against six Nanling families, including Yaowang Valley, he encountered powerful enemies in the Nascent Soul Realm, thanks to Fan Zhongtian's repeated help.
The two have an excellent relationship.
But during the recent period, Tang Ming has been too busy. He first went to Hong Kong Island, then to the ancient witches of Miao and Xinjiang, and then went abroad. As a result, before Fan Zhongtian went out to travel, the two of them had not had time to meet each other.
