"The house?"

"You work as a errand in Baihuying, and you will be a loyal young son in the future. Naturally, you will have a bright future." Uncle Meng smiled and said, "You are already a riding school. I can assure you that within two years, you will be Deputy commander."

Qin Xiao said hurriedly, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Take care of the errands, it is not impossible to become the leader in the future." Uncle Meng tapped Qin Xiao on the shoulder: "I will settle down here in the future. This time I will give you a house first. There will be many benefits in the future. I can't do anything."

Qin Xiao said: "Uncle loves so much and goes through waters and fires, and will not hesitate."

Uncle Meng nodded. Qin Xiao's attitude made him very satisfied. After thinking about it for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, I almost forgot something. Liu Wenxuan went to Wutuo with you. Why did you come back this time? Didn't see anyone else? And Zhao Yi, he is Cheng Chao's confidant, and he should come back together."

Even though Qin Xiaodang sent Liu Wenxuan and Zhao Yi to Tangren City to inquire about the news, but then they said nothing.

Uncle Meng was surprised: "No news?"

"Uncle, they should have encountered some serious trouble." Qin Xiao said: "But we have no clues at all."

Uncle Meng nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Before Liu Wenxuan left, were there any strange signs?"

Qin Xiao thought about it for a moment, and then said, "One night, I saw him holding a compass and looking at Feng Shui."

Liu Wenxuan ventilated the water and looked at the world. After Qin Xiao discovered that Liu Wenxuan was good at Feng Shui that night, he had always doubted Liu Wenxuan's purpose of traveling westward.

"Yes, he is good at Feng Shui." Uncle Meng sneered in a low voice: "He went to Wutuo with you not to protect the caravan, but for another purpose."

"Another purpose?" Qin Xiao deliberately wanted to clarify something from Uncle Meng. He wanted to know what Liu Wenxuan was going to do, but he also knew that this old guy was very cunning, so he couldn't ask more.

Uncle Meng said, "What he calls Feng Shui is to look at the cemetery."

Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Look at the cemetery? Uncle, Liu Wenxuan went to Wutuo to see the cemetery, so... why is that?"

"You don't know, there are a group of people in this world who use tomb robbers as their career." Uncle Meng said: "This kind of people are also called "Mojin School Lieutenant" and "General Faqiu". In troubled times, many soldiers and horses If the military payment is insufficient, people will be sent to rob the ancient tombs and use the treasures obtained as military resources."

Qin Xiao said in amazement, "There are other people like this?"

"There is no one in this world." Uncle Meng smiled faintly.

"Uncle, Liu Wenxuan is also a captain who touches Jin Jin?"

"That's not true." Uncle Meng shook his head and said, "But this person is proficient in geography and geomantic omen and can identify the location of the ancient tomb." He stopped talking, glanced at Qin Xiao, saw him staring at himself, and said with a smile: "You It should be known that whether it is in the Central Plains or the Western Regions, dynasties change, many emperors and generals will be buried after their deaths. They enjoy their wealth when they are alive. After death, they naturally hope to continue to be prosperous and wealthy in the Yin Cao dynasty, so it is inevitable in their tombs. There will be a lot of attention."

Qin Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Some of the mausoleums will be buried with living people.

There are many treasures in China."Uncle Meng said: "Some emperors and nobles will spend a lot of manpower and material resources for the tomb after death, but they are worried about their death.Tombs will be destroyed by people, so they usually choose their tombs in extremely secret places.Naturally, it is extremely important to choose a cemetery, not only to be concealed, but also to pay attention to feng shui. The Central Plains pays the most attention to this, and the exchanges between Guanwai and Central Plains are also affected."After a pause, he continued: "The territory of the Wutuo people outside the Kunlun Pass was robbed. Back then, there were many tribes and even ancient countries on the Wutuo people's territory. They were deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, so Many ancient kings were also very concerned about their tombs."

"Uncle, you mean that Liu Wenxuan went out with the caravan to discover the ancient tomb?" Qin Xiao had already guessed something.

Uncle Meng nodded and said: "It should be so. Did you know that in the caravan, Liu Wenxuan had arranged his people in it?"

Qin Xiao thought at first that he did not know that when Huangxi Deathwing attacked, the situation forced the people under Liu Wenxuan to hide and were forced to take action, but they had all become the swordsmen of Huangxi Deathwing. ghost.

"Liu Wenxuan is the confidant of Old Hou Ye. He has been sneaky all these years." Uncle Meng's tone was not without the dislike of Liu Wenxuan, and sneered: "He secretly recruited people to help him dig the ancient tomb."

Qin Xiao suddenly remembered the disappearance of Baihuying mentioned by Geng Shao.

Someone in Baihu Camp secretly left the camp, and there was no news from now on, as if it had evaporated from the world.

Could it be that those who disappeared were secretly recruited by Liu Wenxuan and became helpers for the tomb robbers?

"Uncle, Yuwen's family is not short of silver." Qin Xiao said: "Why do you want Liu Wenxuan to steal the ancient tomb? This.....This is what Old Hou Ye meant?"

Uncle Meng whispered: "I know everything about the Hou Mansion, big and small, but I don't know much about Liu Wenxuan." Touching his beard and sneered, "If he really is digging the tomb for the Hou Mansion. To get treasures, it's all for Yuwen's family. Not only will I not blame him, but will help him. But over the years, he has not been able to bring back a treasure, but the Houfu secretly allocates it to him every year. A huge sum of money, where the money will be used, even I can't ask."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Uncle, if this is the case, then Liu Wenxuan's tomb robbery is probably not just for the treasure. There has been no profit for several years, but he has been spending a lot of money. Is it another purpose?"

Uncle Meng thought for a while, and finally said: "No, we don't have to think about it." With a sneer, "Liu Wenxuan's trip to Wu Tuo must be looking for an ancient tomb. Zhao Yi is with him, maybe really I found an unknown tomb, but when the tomb was robbed, perhaps something accident happened. They were afraid that they were already dead in the tomb."

Qin Xiao thought this was not impossible.

Uncle Meng learned the general situation from Qin Xiao's mouth, and then took Qin Xiao to the dining hall. Just before the dining hall, Young Master Yuwen Chengling had already come over and said, "Uncle, father let you pass."

Uncle Meng nodded to Qin Xiao, did not say much, and followed Yuwen Chengling to leave.

Qin Xiao entered the dining hall, which was a rather elaborate elegant hall. There was a long screen between the halls. Fat fish and Ning Zhifeng were on the left, and Tang Rong was alone on the right.

After Qin Xiao entered the house, he thought for a while, and finally came to Fat Fish.

side.

"The food is still hot, eat while it is hot." Fat Yu greeted.

After Qin Xiao sat down, the maid next to him served Qin Xiao a meal. Fat Yu already put down the dishes and sighed, "The food at home is still delicious."

"Brother Wang, are you going to go back to the old man's side first, or to Baihuying?" Ning Zhifeng also put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

Qin Xiao said: "Wait for the eldest son to come out and see if there are any instructions. If nothing happens, I will go back to Baihuying." Then he said, "The two brothers have worked hard on this trip, but you have to rest for a few days."

"I don't know what happened to Zhao Yi." Ning Zhifeng sighed, "I just hope that he and Deputy Liu will lead everything well and come back soon. Fat Yu, without him, I always feel that something is missing."

Fat fish smiled bitterly: "With him by the side, we can still quarrel, and now the quarreling people are gone, deserted."

Qin Xiao knows that these people are often together, so naturally there is a feeling of brotherhood. Zhao Yi's life or death is uncertain, which is indeed worrying.

"He has never been absent during the sacrifice of the mountain these years." Ning Zhifeng said: "I only hope that he can come back before the sacrifice of the mountain."

"Sacrifice to the mountain?" Qin Xiao seemed to have heard Yuwen Chengchao's mention, but he didn't remember much.

Fat Yu said: "Every October 26th, we will worship the mountain gods under the Changling Tiandu Peak. It will only take 20 days to count. This time we are considered to be smooth, and we can come back in time to participate in the mountain worship."

"Is the sacrifice to the mountain very particular?"

"That's natural." Ning Zhifeng smiled: "The Yuwen family and many ancestors of Xiling family have been born and raised in Xiling for generations. That Changling is the Xiling Zu Mountain. In the earliest legend, when the ancestors died, they would be buried in the Changling Mountains. His ancestors were also buried on the mountain. As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and the water to draft the water, a long time ago, many people could not survive, they could go up the mountain to hunt and gather fruits to survive the hardship, and Changling is also a barrier that can stop the barbarians in the north. Come here to intrude, so in the hearts of the Xiling family, Changling is a sacred mountain that protects Xiling.

Qin Xiao asked, "Tiandu Peak is in Yuwen County?"

"Actually, it is not far from Fenggan Mansion City." Ning Zhifeng said: "After leaving the city, it takes less than two days to the northwest to reach the foot of Detiandu Peak."

"Then the Xiling family will come to offer sacrifices?"

"There will be sacrifices every year, but every five years there will be big sacrifices." Fat fish said: "Usually, every family will send people over and burn incense at the foot of the mountain. But if it is every five years, the patriarchs of each family will It’s going to be there, and the scene is very lively. This year happens to be the five-year festival, the patriarchs of the big family families in the three counties of Xiling will come over. We Yuwen’s family is a landlord, so naturally we have to make more preparations in advance."

"So, Chang Xinhou and Chang Renhou will also participate in the mountain worship?" Qin Xiao asked.

Ning Zhifeng smiled and said: "It is okay to sacrifice to the mountain god without others, but three old masters are indispensable. If any one of them fails to be present, the sudden death will not be possible. However, the people of Xiling attach great importance to the sacrifice to the mountain god. Absence or delay will definitely be criticized by others, so no one will dare to be absent at that time. Brother Wang, this year we will sacrifice to the mountain gods. Baihuying must go to the guard. You are the Baihuying riding school, so naturally you are going to Tiandu. Below the peak, ordinary people are not qualified to see such a spectacular scene, this time you are blessed."
