Chapter 116: Two birds with one stone

"Xuezi, from Japan to Shuzhong of the Tang Dynasty, there are more than ten thousand miles apart, why did you appear here?"

Su Dawei's voice slowed down, and suspicion appeared in his eyes.

The tall dragon who was familiar with him had already raised his vigilance in secret, and a black aura faintly appeared on his body, showing a semi-miraculous appearance.

Ming Chongyan also noticed something was wrong. A pair of snow-white palms in his sleeves emitted a slight light, obviously ready to go.

As long as Xuezi's answer is a little wrong, what awaits her will be a storm-like attack.

"Su Langjun, this...I can explain it."

Xuezi smiled bitterly and said, "Shidao's status was respected in our country, but since you... conquered the island of Wa, Shidao's status plummeted. Later, the King of Takashi came back from the Tang Dynasty and quickly regained his power and began to liquidate. In order to prove his innocence, Shidao had to take the initiative to eliminate some people..."

Su Dawei looked at her expression and frowned and said, "Can your identity as a goddao witch be liquidated?"

Xuezi came over with a resentful look, and Su Dawei immediately realized that Xuezi's relationship with him was much closer than other Shinto people.

That year, Yukiko negotiated with herself on behalf of Shinto, and signed a covenant with her, and then got a holy egg from Shinto.

Xuezi said quietly: "My identity is too sensitive. Now my king...the emperor is about to take someone to sacrifice his sword, so I can only avoid the edge."

"I only believe half of your reason."

Su Dawei interrupted her and said, "Even if you can't gain a foothold in Japan, there are many places you can go to. Even if you come to the Tang Dynasty and don't go to Chang'an, you will come to such a biased Huang'an County in Shu, what do you mean?"

"Su Langjun, do you still remember the alliance we made that year?"

"Remember."

Xue Zi's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a hint of annoyance or helplessness: "According to the covenant, Su Langjun should teach us the method of hatching holy eggs in Shinto, and help us find the source of the holy eggs. Unfortunately, Su Langjun's official position has been getting higher and higher over the years, and I am afraid that we will forget our agreement."

Su Dawei's brows moved slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Although I left the island of Japan, I was still Shinto. I made this covenant back then, so I naturally had to make up for the losses. Along the way, I not only avoid disasters, but also wanted to find the secrets about the holy egg."

"Looking for the holy egg? Isn't that the only one in Japan? Why did you come to Shuzhong?"

"We have a book called "Ancient Times" that in the past, two gods fell from the sky. They fought to the sky and the earth and knocked down the pillar of heaven. From then on, there was an additional snow-capped mountain on the archipelago that never melted all year round but often spit out flames. The holy egg was found there."

Su Dawei felt aroused and thought that this must be Mount Fuji.

But this matter sounds strange, a bit like the Chinese mythology system, where Gonggong and Zhurong fought against Zhurong, and Zhurong angrily hit Buzhou Mountain.

"We have searched on the Great Snow Mountain countless times over the years. I am sure that all the holy eggs I can find are found. The Great Snow Mountain is still not the source."

After a stop, Xuezi waited for Su Dawei to nod, and then continued: "I found out from ancient books that the gods came from the west, and the west of the archipelago was naturally the Tang Dynasty. I took a boat from Tsushima Island, landed on a shore from Baekje, and found them all the way, and got some clues in Changbai Mountain, Liaodong."

"What kind of clue?"

"There is a Tianchi Lake on Changbai Mountain, where there is the residual aura of the gods. I found a cave there, got some sacrificial tools and guidance from it, and continued to pursue it, all the way to this place."

Ming Chongyan and Gao Dalong listened to the clouds and mountains, like listening to the heavenly book.

But Su Dawei understood.

When Changbai Mountain was conquered Baekje, he did learn from a royal family of the Fuyu family that there was something to do with the Liaodong dragon vein.

The location is near Tianchi.

However, at that time, the court urgently summoned Su Dawei back to Chang'an, but in the end, there was no chance to check the dragon veins.

This incident has always been a regret in Su Dawei's heart.

But at this time, when Xuezi said it, she immediately corresponded these one by one.

Su Dawei pointed to the bronze sacrificial utensils dug out from the rocks just now: "I will accept your explanation for now. Are these things buried by you? What do these painted on this ground mean?"

"I got these bronze ware from that ruin. I took them all the way and found them all the way. There are some clues here, but I couldn't understand them, so I could only stay for the time being. The paintings were based on the ancient method of the Shinto, and painted a great sacrifice array, praying for blessings to the natural gods of heaven and earth, hoping to get their guidance."

Looking at Xuezi's serious eyes, Su Dawei believed it in his heart.

But there are still some difficult points.

For example, why does the dragon vein in the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain have the same sacrificial tools as Sanxingdui?

For example, when Xuezi left the Japanese island to find the holy egg, how could he go deep into Shuzhong from Liaodong?

Could it be that something like a monster egg comes from Shu?

"I know a Taoist story."

Ming Chongyan, who had been on the side, quietly relaxed the Yuanqi raised by his hands and couldn't help but say: "According to Taoism, Shu is indeed a bit extraordinary."

“How extraordinary?”

"In Taoism, Shu is mountainous, also known as the "Prison Gate", which is the gate leading to the Yin and Yang realms. In the past, Zhengyidao sent his ancestor Zhang Daoling to Sichuan. It is said that he had destroyed the six demon kings and eight ghost commanders who were rampant in Shu. They also destroyed the eight ghost commanders."

"The Maoshan Sect once showed me a record of their sect, saying that Zhang Daoling and the Tianshi masters, the ones who were the masters destroyed were not ghosts, but weirdness."

"The strange one is born from the energy of heaven and earth. It is also called demons in ancient books, and it is also called strangeness."

Su Dawei nodded slightly. In his eyes, the holy egg felt somewhat similar to the weirdness, but the red Bi Fang hatched himself was not recorded in "The Record of the Night of the Night", and perhaps it was unknown whether it was the weirdness in ancient times.

He then pressed down all the doubts and distracting thoughts in his heart, waved to Xuezi and said, "I have another question. Since you are looking for clues to the holy eggs here, do you know that there is an epidemic poison spreading in the nearby people?"

"Epidemic poison?" Xuezi's face was confused.

"At first I heard it was a plague, but now I find it is more like a gu."

Su Dawei said to Xuezi who walked in front of him: "You Shintoism should be more familiar with these, so I ask you."

"Is there any sign?"

"The person who is infected with this poison completely loses his original consciousness, as if he is a walking corpse, and will take the initiative to attack people."

Ming Chongyan added from the side: "I still don't know how this epidemic poison is transmitted, so I can't prevent it."

"I've seen people who talk about this kind of symptoms."

Xuezi looked thoughtful: "When I was searching nearby mountains and forests before, I encountered a local tribe. There were people in it like monsters, not knowing the pain and fatigue, and they took the initiative to attack me. Fortunately, although this kind of thing is strange, it has no combat power and is easily knocked down by me."

After a pause, Xuezi added: "It's useless for me to cut off his legs and pierce his chest. I have to cut off my head to completely eliminate it."

Su Dawei glanced at Ming Chongyan and Gao Dalong, and thought to himself: Are you becoming more and more like a zombie? This is a coincidence.

"Xuezi, I am looking for the source of this epidemic poison and need to cut off its transmission chain. Since you are a witch, you should be good at witchcraft. Can you help me?"

Su Dawei continued to ask Xuezi.

Xuezi was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled with snow-white teeth.

Compared to more than ten years ago, her eyes were no longer as sharp as when she was young, and were replaced by soft and teasing expressions.

"Why, the omnipotent Su Langjun actually asked me for help."

"The ruler has its strengths, and the inch has its weaknesses."

Su Dawei said it, but his face was not blushing and his heart was not beating.

He is so thick-skinned.

"But why should I help you?"

Xuezi's smile revealed the sharpness of the past: "I haven't forgotten that Su Langjun lied to me to sign a covenant with him, and then tricked the holy egg from Shinto. As a result, I was just a blank pie, making me a laughing stock in Shinto."

Her voice was a little sad: "If it weren't for Su Langjun, how could I come here alone? Su Langjun, everything I have thanks to you now. Do you think I will help you?"

"I did have something wrong in the past. I did not share information with you in time. But when I was in the court, Your Majesty ordered me to conquer Tubo, but I really had no clone. This is also impossible."

Su Dawei stared at Xuezi: "The covenant is still valid. If you help me this time, I would like to help you find clues to the holy eggs. In addition, I will tell you all about the experience of hatching the holy eggs. Look, how good is it?"

Ming Chongyan didn't know the whole story, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought.

The tall dragon with his hands in his chest secretly gave Su Dawei a thumbs up.

In terms of speaking, you, Su Dawei, can say that killing two birds with one stone can not only let the Japanese girl help find clues, but also intervene in the matter of the Holy Egg of the Shinto. It is really good to take advantage of it and can also occupy morality.

Well, your shameless appearance is quite as charming as the leader of Fengyifang back then.

Xuezi didn't say a word, but the light in her eyes was fluctuating, obviously she was already intent.

After a long time, she nodded and said, "Then I believe in you again, but if Su Langjun breaks his trust again this time..."

"I swear, I will definitely help you this time and speak out."

The witch Xuezi stared at Su Dawei for a while and stretched out a snow-white right palm.

Su Dawei raised his palm and patted her gently, making a slap.

This is considered an agreement.

"Su Langjun wants to find the source of that kind of epidemic poison. I do know a little bit, which may help Su Langjun."

“What is it?”

"It was the village I met at the beginning. It should be the Miao village in the border mountains. Su Langjun, come with me, I will take you there, you will know at a glance."

Su Dawei, Ming Chongyan, Gao Dalong and others looked at each other and nodded together.

The Sanxingdui-style bronze sacrificial vessel was buried back to its original place.

Xuezi still hides some things and does not tell the truth completely.

Su Dawei was vaguely aware of this.
