Mantra

Chapter 227
What Zhao Gong was thinking was quickly noticed by the person next to his pillow.

The Gu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that Zhao Gong married were called "Ruiming Liu". Although this Ruiming Liu was young, she was very smart. She watched her husband sigh and sigh every day, and knew that he had something on his mind. As she got to know her husband better and better, this woman gradually realized that "Zhao San" was by no means as simple as an ordinary barefoot doctor.

Finally on a full moon, when Zhao Gong was looking north and homesick again, the Gu woman picked up the topic with him and asked Zhao Gong what was on his mind.

In the face of his wife's questioning, it is hard for Zhao Gong to hide anything if he has sons and daughters, so he told his wife that his real name is Zhao Gong, his identity is the "supervising food envoy" of BJ Guanglu Temple, and he was under the command of Nanming Sun Kewang before his defeat He also told his wife in detail how he fled south, how he was defeated, and how he ended up in Xuerong Village.

All of a sudden, Zhao Gong became very angry, and simply told Rui Mingliu about his life aspirations, brothers and family and other situations, just to relieve his depression and boredom.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gong himself lamented that he was born at an untimely time, that he could not enjoy the peace and peace like his fathers and great-grandfathers when he retired, and be a good cook, but he could not serve the country when he entered, and made a career for anti-Qing and restoring Ming. What's more, he is now trapped in Furongchuan, with no soldiers and food, so he can only sit in Xuerong Village, watching the Ming Dynasty decline to the west, but there is nothing he can do.

At this point, Zhao Gong lamented and hypothesized: "If I have an army of [-] in the northwest of Guizhou, echoing Li Dingguo's north and south, how can I let the Qing army go south! How can I let the treacherous minister Sun Kewang go wrong..."

Zhao Gong's words were mostly just complaints. After all, he didn't even have his own "Paozhong Camp" with more than a hundred people, so he was talking about a [-] army, and even if he had a [-] army, what could he do?In the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Nikan, capable people with millions of mercenaries, warlords, and Prince Baylor would lose their heads in the military conspiracy. How much opportunity and ability does he have to change the world as a cook? Times...

But what is surprising is that Zhao Gong's complaints were taken seriously by his young wife.

Although Rui Mingliu used very "despicable" means to keep Zhao Gong as her husband, she really loved her sincerely, and she loved her without hesitation. Moreover, she sincerely admired her husband's talents, and she also believed that Zhao Gong would be able to survive in Xuerong. In a poor village like Zhai, he will die until he dies. There is no one left.

Therefore, the wife said to her husband: "Although I am only a woman, if the adults want to revive the army, I can definitely help my husband."

Zhao Gong was surprised by his wife's unreasonable words. It took him a long time to realize, and he asked depressedly, "How can you help me?"

Rui Mingliu didn't answer her husband immediately, but after thinking for a while, she told Zhao Gongdao: "It is said that there is an artifact in Furong River, which is worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers. If you get it, you will be invincible with the power of gods and ghosts. We will definitely be able to accomplish the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty.”

Rui Mingliu's words did not make Zhao Gong happy, because he himself is also a guy who knows a lot of curses and voodoo skills. He knows the so-called "powers of gods and ghosts" best. Using those "methods" to kill a half a person It's okay, but when it comes to marching and fighting, and helping the country, it still depends on the fighting of the army and the etiquette of the saints.

However, out of respect for his wife, Zhao Gong still let Rui Mingliu express his thoughts.

Afterwards, Ruiming Liu told him an ancient legend on Furong River.

According to legend, many years ago in Furongchuan, a mysterious ethnic group escaped from the south. These people have tattoos on their faces, horns on their heads, and bronze as weapons. They love fire and are afraid of light. same.

This ancient tribe was small in number, but they were good at fighting. After arriving in Furongchuan, they quickly established their own small city and plundered everywhere, suppressing the surrounding Han and Miao aborigines. They worked together to encircle and suppress, but they were repeatedly defeated and could not be eradicated.

Because the relationship between this ancient tribe and the surrounding neighbors is not good, everyone calls them "Heilanbo people" and the city where they live is "Heilanbo City", which translates into Chinese as the clan of devils and City of Devils.

According to the legend of the older generations, the reason why the Heilanbo people are difficult to destroy is because they have two "magic weapons", one is a fortress that lives high on the cliffs in the mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other is what Zhao Gong's wife said. Artifact.

Later, the Uncle Heilan colluded with the "demons", and the trouble became bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed the "City of Heaven", so the imperial court sent [-] heavenly soldiers, and with the help of countless immortals and strangers, the Uncle Heilan was wiped out. But the artifact and the cursed Heilanbo City were left in the depths of Furong River.

As for the "benefits" of the "artifact", according to people in the old generation, it is terrifying. It is probably rumored that the thing can absorb the blood essence of the living, drive mountain spirits and wild monsters, and even make the mouths of dead people bloom, and the bones become flesh again.

Hearing this, Zhao Gong's body shook suddenly!
Suddenly, he realized that the place where his Paozhong camp was overwhelmed was the city of Helanbo that his wife was talking about!And those soldiers who turned into mummies after death and spit out demon flowers in their mouths, weren't they the mutations that occurred under the influence of that "artifact"!
Zhao Gong, who had already seen the "artifact" and Heilanbo City, was suddenly moved.

He knew that if there was a way to kill Puzhongying overnight, then the artifact would also kill the enemy overnight. If he could get this so-called "artifact", then he would have mastered the power against the sky. With this help, Zhao Gong can not only revive the Paozhong camp, but also deter those superstitious chieftains, thereby expanding his military strength.

Revenge and old dreams rose again in Zhao Gong's chest.

But thinking about it, Zhao Gong is not stupid, he knows that although this artifact is in Heilanbo City when he came here, it is definitely not easy to find.Besides, since Heilanbo City is called Castlevania, there must be many difficulties and obstacles waiting for him.Whether you can get the so-called artifact is still a big question mark.

To this, Zhao Gong's wife Rui Mingliu gave her husband an astonishing answer.

Na Ruimingliu told Zhao Gong that she knew where the artifact was, and she volunteered to go to Heilanbo City to get the "artifact" for her husband, just to accomplish his future career.

Zhao Gong looked at his wife in surprise and said, "Have you seen that artifact?!"

Rui Mingliu nodded and said that she and her father passed by Heilanbo City by chance when they were hunting in the mountains. At that time, there was no rain and Ruimingliu was very thirsty. At this time, she saw a deep well buried in the grass.

In order to quench his thirst, Ruiming Liu ran to the abandoned well and scraped through the grass, hoping to find some well water to take a shower.
