Between mountains and seas

Chapter 128 The Zhong Shan Nobody Has Seen

Do you want to know how He Feng died?

In just one sentence, it sounded like a thunderbolt in Yang Shuming's ear, making him almost jump up.Looking around almost reflexively, Yang Shuming realized after looking around that the person who sent the short message may not be nearby. After all, many people know about his relationship with He Feng, so there is no need to see him Come to this area to be sure.

But who exactly is this message from?

The number is unfamiliar. If this person dares to send a message in such a blatant manner, even if he checks the number, there will probably be no results.

Yang Shuming stood there thinking for a few seconds before pressing the reply button: "How did Minister He die?"

He didn't ask who it was.Obviously, the other party will not answer this question at all.Yang Shuming could even foresee the cause of He Feng's death, and he would not get an answer right away.

Sure enough, the other party did not answer his question, but asked another question: "Where is Zhong Shan?"

Although he had expected it, Yang Shuming estimated that the other party would put forward various conditions, but he did not expect to get such a question, so he couldn't help being stunned: "Zhong Shan?"

As a person with supernatural powers, although he is not a member of the special affairs department, Yang Shuming has also received due science popularization and education. Of course, he is no stranger to Zhong Shan.

"Shan Hai Jing Overseas Bei Jing" records: The god of Zhongshan is called Zhuyin.

The "Three Classics of the West" records: 420 miles to the northwest of Shanshan, it is called Zhongshan.

These two Zhongshan Mountains are not in the same place, they just have the same name.Just like in the "Shan Hai Jing", there are several mountains where the sun and the moon enter, all of which have the same name, but the mountain of the wilderness is the most famous because it has its own special name and clear location records.

Yang Shuming looked at the phone and thought for a while.The question of this mysterious man was obviously not about the second Zhong Shan, because that had a definite position, and it was mainly because of the killing of a high-level superhuman "Drum" by the Yellow Emperor.However, because the "drum" itself is a monster with a dragon face and a dragon body, which has similarities with Zhuyin, sometimes some people confuse the two Zhong Shan for this reason.

But Yang Shuming didn't think the mysterious person would confuse this question, so what he asked should be the Zhongshan where the candle shadow is located, as recorded in the Overseas Beijing.

Speaking of which, Zhongshan recorded in the Overseas Beijing is far less famous than Zhuyin who lives here.

Zhuyin, that is, Zhulong, also known as Zhujiuyin.It is said that it is the god of Zhongshan. When you open your eyes, it is day, and when you close your eyes, it is night.It does not drink, eat, or breathe. When it breathes, it is the wind.As for the image of Candle Dragon, it has a human face and a red snake body, which is quite similar to another "drum" of Zhong Shan.

The image of the candle dragon is also recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing". In addition, it also appears in books such as "Huai Nan Zi", "Chu Ci", and "Guang Bo Wu Zhi". It is a dragon-like image, but it has supernatural powers, and it is worthy of the name of a god.

However, Zhulong is so famous, but no one has ever seen it!

That's right, when Yang Shuming was about to reply to this message, he suddenly remembered that although Zhong Shan seemed to have a clear position in "Shan Hai Jing", in fact, people from the Special Affairs Department, or No matter other supernatural beings, even those poachers, no one has ever been to Zhongshan or seen Candle Dragon!

In other words, although Zhong Shan is in the "Shan Hai Jing", no one knows where it is located!

The "Da Huang Bei Jing" has detailed records, saying that "beyond the Northwest Sea, north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There is a god...it is called Zhulong".It seems to mean that Zhangwei Mountain is Zhongshan.

But the problem is that the Northwest Sea is big, and the area outside the Northwest Sea is even bigger.As for the "Chishui", it is a very ordinary river, but both sides are red soil, so the river is also red.Since it is an east-west river, the north of the north bank is regarded as the "north of Chishui", and there is no clear range.

Therefore, although Yang Shuming had read this record, he did not know where Zhangwei Mountain was.

And "Huainanzi" said: "Zhulong is in the north of Yanmen, covered by Weiyu Mountain, without seeing the sun."

This is another record, and the similarity is that the north of Yanmen is also large in scope, while Weiyu Mountain has no clear location.

So after all, although there are so many records, no one has ever seen Zhong Shan and Zhulong!

While Yang Shuming was holding the phone and thinking hard, Ji Xiaojiu was hugging the cat and talking to Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing: "Actually, Lengchuan, I thought about it, and I think it refers to the poor family."

"Where is the poor family?" Shao Jingxing asked humbly and studiously.

Obviously Ji Xiaojiu had considered this question, and answered without hesitation: "Most likely in Zhongshan."

"Ah! Zhong Shan, I know!" Shao Jingxing immediately raised his hand, "That's the place where there is a candle dragon! It's mentioned in "The Great Wilderness Northern Classic"!"

But Huo Qing was obviously not as optimistic as him: "Then, where is Zhong Shan?"

"Isn't it outside the Northwest Sea, north of Chishui?" Shao Jingxing was puzzled.He knew that Zhong Shan and Zhulong were so famous, so there was no reason for Huo Qing to ask.

"Well——" Ji Xiaojiu hesitated, "This...to be honest, Zhong Shan's records, in fact, I doubt the authenticity..."

"What? What do you mean?" Shao Jingxing felt that something was wrong.What a clear record, how could there be a problem?

Ji Xiaojiu curled her lips: "It means that although Zhong Shan and Zhulong seem to be famous and have clear records, no one has ever actually been to Zhongshan and seen Zhulong!"

Shao Jingxing opened his mouth, wanting to say it was impossible, but thinking of Ji Xiaojiu's ability as a living dictionary, he swallowed the words again, and turned to look at Huo Qing.However, Huo Qing didn't look surprised at all, and nodded instead: "I also think that Zhong Shan only exists in the classics."

"That's right—" Ji Xiaojiu rested her chin on her confused head, almost crushing Garfield into a flat face, "But your experience this time can probably explain this matter. Zhong Shan, it should be the result of being trapped by the talisman array. It is covered up, just like covering the four pillars. It is very likely that there is the eye of the talisman array, and those living stones may be the energy source to maintain the operation of the entire talisman array."

Shao Jingxing was taken aback: "You've already thought of this?" Isn't this exactly what they thought?

"You think I'm just petting cats all day?" Ji Xiaojiu rolled Shao Jingxing's eyes in dissatisfaction, "I've been thinking about it since that little devil said about the living stone. Besides, if the living stone really As he said, that is obviously the best energy source—in fact, I think it is very likely to be the five-color stone used to mend the sky, but I still can't figure out how Nuwa made it .Could it be that the live rock itself is actually naturally occurring, just like radioactive substances exist in ore?"

"Have you submitted your idea for discussion?" Huo Qing asked calmly.In fact, it is not surprising that Ji Xiaojiu can think of it, the key is to find Leng Chuan.

"Uncle Gu said let me think more carefully." Ji Xiaojiu scratched her hair, "He said that everyone can think of this idea, but the problem is to find out where Lengchuan is. I didn't have a clue at first, but now you guys When we come back, we have a clue, and it will only make sense to wait for the various groups to feed back the collected data, and then we can analyze and discuss."

Shao Jingxing couldn't help but secretly glanced at Huo Qing again.Anyway, when he heard Gu Sheng's name now, he couldn't help but feel guilty—Gu Sheng's reason sounded good, but could it be that he actually had other ideas, so he stopped Ji Xiaojiu from raising the discussion?

Ji Xiaojiu didn't notice Shao Jingxing's strangeness at all, and instead asked them: "Uncle Gu said you guys are going on vacation? Are you injured? Don't hide it from me!" At such an important time, if it wasn't for being injured, how could Huo Qing If you want to take a vacation, you must be the first to rush into the world of mountains and seas to find the other three Aozu pillars.

"This—" Shao Jingxing faltered immediately.

"He was injured." Huo Qing replied without changing his expression, "I have overdrawn his abilities several times, so I think it's better to give him a physical examination."

"Oh——" Ji Xiaojiu didn't expect him to lie at all, "That's why we need to check it carefully!" Such things as overdraft of powers can be big or small. It only depends on your power level and physique. Someone needs to rest and recover Nothing happened, but some people left irreparable hidden wounds, and some even shortened their lives because of it.

"No..." Shao Jingxing said hastily, "Actually, I also want to take this opportunity to visit my former friends. The main thing is... this experience is really... I have to adapt..."

"Understood." Ji Xiaojiu felt that she understood Shao Jingxing very well.This is simply going through life and death and life and death again, and anyone else has to be afraid.Besides, Shao Jingxing has just joined the Special Affairs Department. Everyone knows that he was a bit of a rat before, and it is not easy to be able to hone it until now. I have been accompanied by a psychiatrist all year round, who specializes in dealing with possible psychological problems such as PTSD.

Shao Jingxing smiled awkwardly: "Then what, don't tell others..." This reason is very appropriate, and it is also convenient for him to go to his friends for information, but it is too demeaning of his image, he is not as timid as before okay?But if Huo Qing was afraid, no one would believe it.

"I definitely won't say it." Ji Xiaojiu agreed, "But Brother Shao, you don't have to feel embarrassed. When I fell into the world of mountains and seas with Huohu, I almost didn't get scared to death. I did it after I came out. It's been a nightmare for a few days. This kind of thing is normal, take a good vacation and have fun."

As Ji Xiaojiu said, the entire Special Affairs Department felt it was normal for Shao Jingxing to ask for a vacation. Deputy Director Yan even asked him if he needed psychological counseling, and he could go there at any time if he needed it.

After leaving the headquarters, Shao Jingxing exaggeratedly stretched his arms and let out a long sigh of relief: "Ah——I'm really a little nervous."

"Why are you nervous?" Huo Qing stepped onto the motorcycle with a half-smile and handed him the helmet, "Aren't you very skilled at lying?"

"I'm not lying!" Shao Jingxing held his helmet and spoke sternly, "I've always told the truth. Besides, to the enemy, to the enemy, can it be called lying? That's called strategy!"

"Oh——" Huo Qing dragged his voice a little, "You said before that it was your friend who pursued Tang Jia, that's why you two met, right?"

"Uh——" Shao Jingxing thought of the lies he had told, and suddenly felt guilty, "Indeed, indeed."

Huo Qing tossed the helmet back and forth in his hands, and said casually: "Really? But I heard some news this time. It is said that Tang Jia rejected Jing Shao's pursuit and went to the Conservatory of Music. Later, he seemed to be planning to Looking back, but Jing Shao didn't want her. Hey, who do you think this Jing Shao is?"

Shao Jingxing was tongue-tied, and it took him a long time to say: "Who, who said it? This is a rumor!" When did Huo Qing inquire about this news?

Of course, this matter was not a secret in his circle, and it was not the first time that "Young Master Jing" had made a joke. He didn't care about it himself, let alone others would keep it a secret for him.

But the problem is, Huo Qing is not from their circle!Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to lie in front of him back then.As a result, what to do now that the results have been debunked?

"Huh?" Huo Qing raised an eyebrow, apparently not accepting his "rumour-mongering" at all.

"This--that--" Shao Jingxing stammered for a while, and suddenly his heart was filled with happiness. He jumped onto Huo Qing's back, stared and began to talk nonsense, "What, who is Young Master Jing, I don't know."

Huo Qing let him lie on his back, unmoved: "Don't know?"

"I don't know!" Shao Jingxing said categorically, "Tang Jia knows a lot of people. Everyone is just joking around. There are too many gossips. How can I know everyone?"

"It turned out to be a joke..." Huo Qing said slowly, "Then are you serious?"

"No—" Shao Jingxing was about to say that no one was serious, but suddenly he tasted something different. The desire to survive honed in the world of mountains and seas made him change his words abruptly, "I don't know if they are serious or not." I know, anyway, I'm serious when I identify someone, so I won't be the same as my second uncle and my mother!"

Huo Qing stood still and patted his butt lightly after a while: "Come down, let's go."

In fact, he didn't really want to settle any old disputes with Shao Jingxing, but he just teased him, took the opportunity to sign a treaty or something, and killed Shao Jingxing's idea of ​​counterattack in the cradle.But now after hearing Shao Jingxing's resolute words, all the teasing thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Speaking of which, to make the current choice, Shao Jingxing bears a little more pressure than him, but Shao Jingxing has always been more active.If Shao Jingxing could always be as determined as he is now...

"Ah?" Shao Jingxing hadn't reacted yet, "Where are you going?" Did he believe his words or didn't he?

"Didn't you go to your second uncle to ask about Minister Zhang?" Huo Qing pulled him off his back and put his helmet back on. "And then don't you want to go to Tang Jia? She's on tour, so we're on vacation too." In a few days, we must hurry up."

Shao Jingxing's vision was blocked by the crooked helmet, and he hugged Huo Qing's waist in a daze: "Hey, when did you ask?"

Huo Qing smiled under the helmet: "I won't tell you." Then he started the motorcycle.

Shao Zhongyan didn't know that his nephew had been missing in the world of mountains and seas for nearly half a month. He just thought he was on a business trip. When he saw him bring Huo Qing back, he was puzzled: "Is this just coming back?" Come on, what do you mean!

Shao Jingxing didn't look at his expression at all: "Second Uncle, let me ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Shao Zhongyan was overwhelmed by his nonchalant attitude, "You haven't heard from me for several days, and Zhou Shu called several times to ask, and you will call back later."

"Uncle Zhou." Shao Jingxing thought he was talking about Zhou Qingshan, "Is he looking for me? Then I'll call him back later."

Shao Zhongyan felt chest tightness again—he didn't mean "Uncle Zhou", but "Shu Zhou"!

But Shao Jingxing had already gotten to the point: "Second Uncle, do you know about Minister Hao?"

"Minister Hao?" The topic jumped so fast that Shao Zhongyan didn't react for a while, "What's wrong with Minister Hao?——No, Minister Hao has passed away, what's wrong?" His nephew has a special status now, so he can ask There's probably something wrong with everything.

"Just tell me if you know or not." Shao Jingxing would not reveal anything.Although he knew that Shao Zhongyan would have guessed something, but his own guess was definitely different from what leaked out of his mouth.

Shao Zhongyan also knew the rules of the Special Affairs Division, and after asking a question he couldn't help but realized that Shao Jingxing would not answer, so he coughed: "Minister Hao, I'm actually not very familiar with it."

Shao Jingxing curled his lips, but did not expose him: "Then do you have any news?" Of course, familiarity means not familiarity. Shao Zhongyan was still in the local area at that time, so naturally he had no chance to have any friendship with Minister Hao.But he didn't believe that Shao Zhongyan hadn't inquired about Minister Hao's situation.

Sure enough, Shao Zhongyan said he was unfamiliar, but he had already compiled a list in his hand: "This is the person who was around Minister Hao at that time. Speaking of which, his driver was from Linghai. But after Minister Hao passed away, he I also resigned." It's a pity, otherwise he could have transferred someone to use him, and as a driver, he must know a lot of things that are not easy for outsiders to know.

Shao Jingxing saw Xiao Zheng's name at a glance: "Why did he resign?"

"Some people said that Minister Hao had a heart attack at the time, and he took a while to send him to the hospital. He was afraid that Hao's family would blame him, so he resigned first." Shao Zhongyan added, "This statement may not be correct. .Because Minister Hao’s condition was stable for a period of time after he was sent to the hospital, and then suddenly deteriorated, that is, he passed away when his family members went out to answer the phone.” This actually depends on whether the driver sent the person to the hospital in time. What a big deal.

Huo Qing had been silent all this time, but now he suddenly asked, "Has Minister Hao ever been to Thailand?"

"No." Shao Zhongyan thought for a while, "Minister Hao seems to dislike flying, so he basically doesn't go abroad." This is quite rare, so Shao Zhongyan knows.

Shao Jingxing saw that his second uncle could not tell any more useful information, so he rolled up the list: "Alright then, let's go."

"Hey——" Shao Zhongyan was almost pissed off by this kind of nephew who took it and ran away, especially when he saw him standing up and habitually reaching out to hold Huo Qing's hand, he became even more angry, "I'm down to business." I haven't told you yet!"

"What business do you have?" Shao Jingxing replied casually, "Don't worry, I will definitely save face for you outside. Let's go."

Are you saving face for me?Shao Zhongyan stared at the hands held together by the two, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack - he would be thankful if he didn't get severely slapped in the face one day.
