Chapter 128

Although the elephant and white peacock are very excited, but in the end, an Changqing still did not agree to take huairushan in. In the final analysis, it was the matter of huairuyu brothers. He had a hand in the middle, and he always had to take over. After enjoying themselves in Fuliang City, an Changqing and Xiao Zhige went to the secret library with huairuyu's token.

The secret storehouse was built in the basement of huairuyu's palace. Huairuyu's valet led them down to the door, bowed and left. Guarding the door are two deaf and dumb attendants. An Changqing shows his token and goes in smoothly with Xiao Zhige.

It's very dry in the secret storeroom. I can't feel the humidity and heat outside. In addition to rows of bookshelves, there is only a book case for reading. The book case is wide, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, as well as basically stacked books. In order to prevent water from leaking, the lighting in the secret storehouse is full of night pearls, which are inlaid on the wall one by one to make the storehouse bright.

Not long after they came in, one of the gatekeepers brought tea, cakes and preserved fruits. An Changqing nodded his thanks. The doorman made two gestures and then backed out.

An Changqing flipped through the stack of books on the fanshu case and found that in addition to some previous manuscripts, there were many records related to the chimpanzees, which they had never seen in Daye and Xidong.

When he put down the books, an Changqing looked through them on the bookshelf. The books were divided into different categories, which were the manuscripts of the ancestors, which were the anecdotes of unofficial history, and some of the paintings left by the predecessors, which were specially stored in wooden boxes that were not perishable.

"It seems that we have come to the right place for this rain." An Changqing opened a wooden box and looked at the picture scroll inside.

Xiao Zhige also had this feeling. He pointed to these bookshelves and said, "there are still about ten days left. We can read half of the books on the bookshelves alone. We can't say we can find some new clues before we start."

An Changqing and his ideas happen to coincide, immediately with his points, each holding a few books began to read. What an Changqing saw was the letter left by Huai Shuan. The time was marked on the cover of the letter. From the very beginning, he found out the identity of the person in the painting.

The letter should be written by Huai Shuan in his old age. He started to write from his first meeting, and there are memories between the lines.

"In the 16th year of Zai De, I went out to sea by boat and met Yu Qiao at sea. He said that he was going out to sea to do business. Unfortunately, he met a storm at sea and the boat capsized. He floated for three days with a piece of boat board before he met me. I couldn't bear to let him get on the boat and take him back to Yongzhou. "

Yu Qiao is the person in the painting. At that time, Yuze was still a wild land belonging to Yongzhou. But Huai Shuan comes from the Huai family in Yongzhou, and he is just a young man.

At the bottom of the passage, Huai Shu'an added another paragraph in small characters: "at that time, when he was young, he saw that he was beautiful and fascinated by beauty, so he trusted him. Looking back now, he was so energetic that he didn't even feel haggard. How could he have been floating on the sea for three days? His miraculous spirit has long been revealed. But I didn't realize it when I was young. "

According to the time listed on the cover, an Changqing looked at it one by one. Most of the letters are about the two people getting along with each other. Except for a name mentioned at the beginning, no other information about Yu Qiao was mentioned. In addition, Xu Shi was too old to remember many things clearly, and most of the records were short and fragmentary. An Changqing could see three lines at a glance very quickly. It was only when he saw the records of zaede's 21 years that things changed.

The letter read: "in the spring of the 21st year of zaidao, there was little rain in the north, and there was a severe drought. In autumn, when the grain was in arrears, the imperial government's exorbitant taxes and levies became more and more heavy. It was heard that many people died of starvation. Yongzhou is located in the south. Although there is no severe drought, it has been rainy for several months, and the dam burst to submerge the farmland. The imperial court refused to allocate money for disaster relief, resulting in countless casualties and rampant plague Xiao Li wrote to me and asked me to go to Kyoto to plan big things. Yu Qiao was curious about Kyoto and went with me. This is the most regretful thing in my life. I hurt him

This paragraph of writing is so strong that it shows Huaishu's regret in peace of mind. An Changqing turned back in a hurry, only to find that there was a large blank behind. After turning a few pages of blank paper, the record jumped directly to the end of Zai De two years later.

In the last years of zaidao, the Wei state of the former dynasty was in dire straits because of its poor monarch. After two years of conspiracy, the eight big Zhu States finally led their troops into Kyoto to overthrow the former dynasty and establish a new one. The other seven Dazhu states jointly elected Xiao Li as emperor and changed his name to Daye.

In the middle of the three years, Huai Shu'an didn't write it out, but wrote: "it took us three years to occupy all parts of the country and invade Kyoto. Everyone, including Yu Qiao, would like to respect Xiao Li as emperor. Yu Qiao once said that he was a wise man with the world in his heart and a man worthy of trust. But in fact, he is just a hypocrite who is greedy for power. We are all cheated by him. "

An Changqing continued to look back, but found that as before, this paragraph was empty again. I don't know whether Huai Shuan is unwilling to recall, or he is afraid to write it out and be spied, so he deliberately conceals it.

When an Changqing turned to the last page, he saw only one sentence: "Yu Qiao is gone. If I could take him back to Yongzhou earlier, maybe everything would be different."

The record of Zai De's years ended abruptly. An Changqing rubbed his eyes and was about to get up to look for his letters, but suddenly he felt dizzy. Xiao Zhige held him in time, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him to sit for a while: "you need to have a rest first. You don't have to look so fast."After drinking a cup of tea, an Changqing pinched her eyebrows and said, "there is too little useful content in these letters. Now I only know that the name of the person in the painting is Yu Qiao. I went to Kyoto with Huai Shuan and met Tai. Zu and the other six big Zhu countries. But there is no way to know what happened

handed him as like as two peas of the picture. Br>

An Changqing as like as two peas, and the picture is just the same as the picture that Xue did not send to him. But there must be some connection between the two paintings

"let's talk to huairuyu and take the picture out for comparison." An Changqing said

when they went up the steps, they found that it was already the middle of the month. In addition to huairuyu's confidants waiting in the hall, huairushan is also there

the servant replied: "at the end of the ugly time, the king saw that the two distinguished guests had not come out, so he asked the slave to wait. The king is still dealing with political affairs in his study. "

"we did find some clues, but we have yet to confirm." An Changqing said

“？？？” Huai Rushan's hand was stiff in the air. He looked at him incredulously and said, "I know now. You are much worse than my brother."

with that, he reached behind him to grab the scroll. Anyway, when huairuyu came, he would see it. At this moment, an Changqing didn't argue with him and gave him the picture scroll

a voice came from afar. As soon as Huai Rushan looked back, he saw him stride over. He immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "I remember. But I'm worried about you? Many people can do more, can't they? "

Huas like as two peas, and the shop was opened on the front side of the painting. It was exactly the same.

"do you suspect that the former king and Xue Chang built the tomb together?" Huairuyu asked

"that's right." Xiao Zhige said: "the secret treasure of xidun is often left by Xue to the people in the painting, that is, Yu Qiao. Huai Shu'an built the tomb for Yu Qiao. It's no surprise that they will cooperate when they meet. ""It's a pity that many important events have been omitted from those letters," an added. If we can find out what happened in those years, it might be easier for us to explore the chimpanzee tomb. "

Huai Rushan pondered for a while and said slowly: "in fact, although the tomb of the shark was built for Yu Qiao, I read all the letters and found that Yu Qiao may not have been buried in the tomb of the shark at all. It's called the chimpanzee tomb, but it's just an island. "

He frowned and didn't seem to know how to explain: "when I read those letters before, I felt that Yu Qiao was not dead in the records of the former king. It's not like a graveyard, it's more like building a paradise on the sea. He's been waiting for Yu Qiao to come back, but he didn't wait until he died. "

He used to have this idea vaguely, but not too sure. Until today, when I heard Xue Chang's last words, I felt that my guess might not be wrong.

"First Wang and Xue Chang seemed to think that Yu Qiao would not die and would come back again."

An Changqing was touched by him, and her eyes brightened: "yes, there is a paragraph in Huai Shuan's initial letter that he should have discovered Yu Qiao's miraculous place. Can be called supernatural What would it be? "

"Immortality." Xiao Zhige said suddenly.

Seeing that the three of them all looked at themselves, he said in a deep voice: "I have seen the portraits of Yu Qiao left in the secret library. Have you found that the portraits were clearly separated for several years, but the appearance of Yu Qiao has not changed at all?"

It took seven years for Huai Shu'an to meet Yu Qiao at sea and to establish a new dynasty. Yu Qiao's age has never been mentioned in the letters, but from the fragmentary fragments, it can be inferred that Yu Qiao is about the same age as Huai Shu'an. From the year of the weak crown to nearly 30 years old, it is impossible that there is no change at all. However, in addition to the change of clothes, the appearance of the people in the portraits did not change at all, and even the fine lines did not increase.

Although it can also be explained that Huai Shu'an deliberately painted Yu Qiao's young appearance, according to these signs, it is more likely that Yu Qiao's appearance has not changed in recent years.

If yu Qiao is immortal, the attitude of Xue Chang and Huai Shuan can be explained.

An Changqing was dumb for a moment, but when she thought about it carefully, she thought that this guess was not unreasonable. Otherwise, the strange attitude of Xue Chang and Huai Shu'an doesn't make sense at all.

"But is there anyone in this world who can live forever?" Huairuyu screwed up her eyebrows and felt a chill coming up from the bottom of her feet. There was always an emperor in the former dynasty who wanted to live forever, but he only felt terrible. Just imagine when the relatives and friends you know die one by one, and only you are left to live alone. It's not a gift, it's a punishment.

An Changqing subconsciously wants to say that immortality is too miraculous. When she wants to say something, she suddenly thinks of her rebirth and swallows the words. He twists his eyebrows and says, "it's true or false. Go to the shark's tomb and find out."

The three men were speechless, and huairuyu said, "well, it's useless for us to guess here. I'll arrange things as soon as possible. Let's go to the South China Sea as soon as possible. "
