"I have a question." Li Qing slowly opened her eyes and stared at the quiet and beautiful side face of Gu Yue beside her.

The car bumped. Gu Yue turned her head and looked at Li Qing without blinking: "what?"

"Why didn't you tell me about Zhenfan ancient building until now?"

"In case you follow your parents' footsteps, if you die inexplicably, won't I waste my time?" Gu Yue said with a smile, "and are you sure you'll come with me if I make it clear in advance?"

Li Qing was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "maybe... I'll treat you as a madman. After all, this kind of thing..."

"Li Qing." Gu Yue paused slightly, "no matter what relationship you have with Xie Yuyan and how close you are, you should be careful this time. She is not as reliable as you think."

Li Qing was stunned: "what does this mean?"

"There must be enough reasons for a person to take the initiative to do something. I went all the way to Lingang to find you because Gu Zhou left you the map of Zhenfan ancient building, because I need your help, and because the debts owed by your ancestors of the Li family a hundred years ago have not been repaid." Gu Yue blinked her beautiful eyes, "But why did Xie Yuyan get involved in this storm? She took the initiative to step in and no one forced her. Li Qing, have you ever thought about the reason?"

Li Qing hesitated: "Yuyan once said that all the secrets in the world are shrouded by an invisible black hand. If others get involved, they will be ruthlessly killed."

Gu Yue said with a smile, "if Xie Yuyan didn't cheat you, she would be even more suspicious. Since there will be trouble involved in these things, why bother Xie Yuyan? As the owner of the Xie family, she controls such a big family business. Can she get tired of living?"

Li Qing frowned tightly and said nothing.

"Of course, I'm not reliable." Gu Yue glanced at Li Qing gently and said with a smile, "it's not once or twice to betray you. At the critical moment, you'd better grow your own brain."

Li Qing stared at Gu Yue's bright eyes and moved her lips. She seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say anything in the end.

Whether Xie Yuyan or Gu Yue, there have been countless disputes with Li Qing. Will such an important person betray himself?

Li Qing doesn't know that after so many ups and downs, he has been polished by the world and finally learned well. Sometimes, less hope, less disappointment.

At about ten o'clock that night, the car arrived at daqianpo. However, the place Li Qing was going to was not in daqianpo Town, but an abandoned stockade more than 40 kilometers away from daqianpo. After several wars in Longxi, this abandoned Hakka stockade was like ferocious scars branded on the ground, which could be seen almost everywhere.

When the car passed daqianpo Town, Li Qing raised his finger to zhenzikou and asked in a deep voice, "the stone tablet erected in zhenzikou last time we saw was erected by the ancestors of the ancient family."

"HMM." Gu Yue stared at the dark night outside the window, and her exquisite cheeks showed an unprecedented melancholy color, "That was the Sixth General of the town vassal in the Ming Dynasty. Gu Jing has a long history. Since then, the ancient family has settled in Longxi from generation to generation and guarded the ancient building of the town vassal for hundreds of years. In those days, it was also a large and prosperous family, but it was involved with this kind of dead tomb. Now I am alone."

When Gu Yue said these words, she sighed a lot, and her tone was particularly desolate, so that Li Qing didn't know how to answer.

Since Jiazong of the Tang Dynasty, he has set up town vassal generals in Longxi, which is nominally to suppress the vassal uprising in Xilong, but in fact, it is just that the emperor of the current Dynasty sent envoys to find the whereabouts of the immortal building in order to realize the delusion of immortality. Therefore, the town vassal generals who are often placed in Longxi are neglected in the Imperial Hall, do not involve party disputes, and are easy to be controlled by the emperor. They From the very beginning, the mission of the was doomed, and the search for the trace of the immortal building was listed as the primary task. As for the suppression of the fan King's uprising, it would be good to have a decent face.

As a result, the rebellion in Xilong became more and more fierce. No one tried to reconcile the contradictions between the nationalities. The only thing they could do was to rely on the great and powerful national strength of China, suppress it, and then suppress it again and again. Among other insiders, the legendary immortal building was linked with the general of the town, and gradually evolved into the ancient building of the town.

In the Ming Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties regarded immortality as the only goal they pursued all their life, and the wind of alchemy prevailed. During this period, several emperors were so obsessed with immortality that they didn't even go to the Imperial Hall several times in their whole life. Under this environment, the power of the town vassal general was also unprecedentedly high. When Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he finally appointed the then border guard general Gu Jing as the town vassal General, continue to look for the whereabouts of the immortal building. The prelude to this kind of encounter faced by Li Qing today has finally opened since then.

Gu Jing has a long history. His great grandfather fought with the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty to unify the mountains and rivers. Therefore, he can be regarded as the son of a tiger after the founding fathers. Gu Jing practiced martial arts when he was a child. At the age of 17, he guarded the border in the north of the Empire and made many military achievements. However, the dark Ming court at that time did not rely on military achievements for awards. Although the ancient family has a glorious and long history, it is time after all In addition, Gu Jing was upright and never formed a party for personal gain. Naturally, he could not be promoted and reused. He had to stay in the north of the great wall where birds don't shit all the time. He sighed that years and months were wasted.

Gu Jing stayed in the north of the Great Wall for 20 years. It was not until emperor Shizong ascended the throne that his fortune finally changed and he was transferred back to the imperial court. Mingshizong did this not because he was wise, but because he thought Gujing was the one who could help him find the immortal building. One is not involved in Party strife, the other is upright, and the third is loyal to the king. After being left for observation in the middle of the dynasty for two years, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty finally determined that there was no problem with Gu Jing, so in the spring two years after he returned to the dynasty, he ordered to appoint Gu Jing as the general of the town, and immediately went to Longxi to fight the rebellion. Of course, this will is just a show on the surface. In fact, mingshizong had a private interview with Gu Jing long ago. It is reasonable to say that there should be a secret decree. However, after hundreds of years, it is confidential news, and no one knows what mingshizong specifically told Gu Jing. After receiving the order, Gu Jing immediately went to Longxi to take office. In August of the same year, he confronted the Xilong rebels in today's daqianpo area. Gu Jing had rich experience in combat. In addition to the military quality of the Ming Dynasty, the combat equipment was much stronger than that of the Xilong rebels. Therefore, the battle was a complete victory. At that time, the vassal king batirda hurried back to Xilong with only a dozen guards. Since then, he dared not face-to-face confrontation with the Ming army. He had to make occasional raids based on the advantages of terrain. The stone tablet in front of daqianpo that Li Qing saw was erected after the war. Gu Jing's talent is not only fighting. He broke up the old evil in one stroke, began to eliminate old disadvantages, compile registered residence and build fortifications, and at the same time rhythmic open trade, wanted to integrate the Longxi and the common people, and fundamentally prevent the war. After the war, Gu Jing did not lead the army to the East, but adopted a gentle policy, which surprised Xilong. So suddenly, the war mood in Xilong was low, and the tension between the two sides eased. If the policy formulated by him is carried out continuously, Xilong will return to the embrace of Daming and become a true vassal state again. But at this time, a decree came down from the sky, returning the complacent Gu Jing to the cold reality again. This edict did not cut Gu Jing's position, but reduced his salary and scolded him harshly. It was a great achievement to calm the rebellion of the vassal. Instead of being praised by the imperial court, Gu Jing was criticized by the emperor. How wronged! While seeking immortality, mingshizong finally took out his kung fu to see the fold presented by Gu Jing, and was immediately angry. I sent you to Longxi to find the immortal building to help me live forever! Who told you to fight the rebellion? Even if you smooth out the rebellion, do you still need to write it down in a fold and present it to me? I don't care about this at all. It's important for you to find the immortal building. If you can't even do this little thing well, what's the use of keeping you! The wording of the imperial edict of emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was very strict, which was tantamount to giving Gu Jing an ultimatum. One of the words is "ministers have no merit, when trapped in Xilong". If these eight words are translated into Mandarin, it means "if you can't find the immortal building again, die in Longxi". Gu Jing was a courtier. Since he was a child, he received the feudal orthodox education of "the king let the courtier die, and the courtier had to die". When he received this edict, he was naturally scared out of control. Even the chief generals in the battlefield are afraid of death, especially this kind of guilty death. In ancient times, they had to bear the curse and harm future generations. If emperor Shizong stamped his feet, clenched his teeth, and cut off the whole family, there would be no descendants. This famous general who is both literate and martial arts must have been panicked for countless days and nights. Finally, he gritted his teeth. Isn't it a fairy building? I'll find the assembly for you! But even though there are many unofficial records, what the immortal building looks like and where it is often vague. It seems to be more like an illusory legend, which only spreads among word of mouth and never really shows its true body. This is not surprising. It is said that the nine story Square Pavilion was built in the Zhou Dynasty and finally became the tomb of King min of Zhou. That dynasty was thousands of years away from the era of Gujing. Even if there was such an ancient building, it happened to be in Longxi. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it was difficult to find the authentic work.
