"So what is the important thing Mr. Nobody is talking about?"

Wuming was silent for a while: "This matter is related to Yan Lu's life experience."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this.

"Yan Lu's identity? I've actually been suspicious for a long time. Yan Lu's background shouldn't be simple, right?"

Wuming nodded slightly.

"You know the three swords of Kong Zhou, right? Hanguang, Chengying and Xiaolian. These three swords are Yan Lu's family heirlooms."

"So, he is a descendant of Kong Zhou?"

Bai Yuan asked.

However, Wuming shook his head.

"The Three Swords of Kong Zhou actually have another name, which is the Three Swords of the King of Shang. In fact, these three famous swords were all made by the King of Shang, but later they fell into the hands of Kong Zhou and were collected by him."

"Yan Lu is not a descendant of Confucius and Zhou, but a descendant of the Shang king."

Upon hearing the news, Bai Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

My goodness, he had already guessed Yan Lu's identity as highly as possible in his mind, and even wondered if he was a descendant of the royal family of a certain country.

However, I didn’t expect it to have such a big origin and involve such a long history!

It is true that they are descendants of the royal family, but they are from the Shang Dynasty!

Seeing the shock on Bai Yuan's face, Wuming couldn't help but smile.

"I was also surprised when I first heard the news, but considering that the Shang Dynasty has been gone for so long, this identity doesn't really mean anything."

"But later I found out that things are not that simple."

As he spoke, Wuming's expression became serious again.

"According to my investigation, after the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by King Wu, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty never stopped thinking about restoring their country. In order to restore their country, they even started several wars, but they were all quelled by the Zhou Emperor."

When Bai Yuan heard this, he also thought of the ancient books he had read.

"There are indeed some records of this in ancient books. For example, King Zhou's son Wu Geng once launched a rebellion, but it was quickly quelled."

Wuming smiled and nodded.

"That's right. The Zhou emperor was very powerful back then. After the descendants of the Shang Dynasty were suppressed, they did not give up the idea of ​​restoring their country. Instead, they chose to remain silent for the time being and wait for the opportunity."

"After more than 800 years, a large number of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty have given up the idea of ​​restoring their country, including Yan Lu's lineage. However, some people still dream of restoring their country and have secretly accumulated a considerable amount of power with the intention of subverting the Seven Kingdoms."

Bai Yuan was a little bit unbelievable: "Mr. Wuming, are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. Don't underestimate the determination of those people."

Wuming looked serious and warned Bai Yuan very seriously.

"In order to restore the country, these people are willing to do anything. They are secretly gathering strength, including the three swords of Kong Zhou. It seems that these three swords contain a secret. Only by gathering all three swords can the secret be revealed. And I must stop them because I was entrusted by Yan Lu's father."

Bai Yuan felt very complicated, but also had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Why do we need to gather certain things together to unlock the secret? This is just like the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon!"

When Wuming heard Bai Yuan's complaints, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly.

“Maybe there is some connection between them.”

Bai Yuan sighed, not really interested in this. He didn't care at all about the crazy ideas of those descendants of the Shang Dynasty.

In order to control the descendants of the Shang Dynasty and stabilize his rule, the Zhou emperor took many precautions.

After these eight hundred years, even if there are still people who are determined to restore their country, they probably don't have much power left.

Bai Yuan has always looked down upon such forces that only dare to hide in the dark and do small things.

Skipping this topic, Bai Yuan brought up the matter of the copper box again.

"Mr. Wuming, since the copper box is nothing but a nuisance to you, I have an unwelcome request."

"You want the two copper boxes?"

As soon as Bai Yuan opened his mouth, Wuming knew what he wanted to say.

Bai Yuan nodded.

Wuming hesitated for a moment: "Although I am not interested in the Blue Dragon Seven Stars, the copper box is of great significance and many people are eyeing it. No matter how you look at it, these two copper boxes are treasures. I can give them to you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then agreed readily.

"Of course, I can't take these two copper boxes for nothing."

Bai Yuan claimed that he was not a robber, and he had a good relationship with Wuming. If he really wanted to get something for free, he would be embarrassed.

When Wuming saw that Bai Yuan agreed, he directly stated his conditions.

"My conditions are actually very simple. If one day, Confucianism is in crisis, I hope you can provide the greatest help within your ability."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

"Mr. Wuming's condition gives me a lot of advantages."

"No, I exchanged two useless copper boxes for the promise of a master who has reached the state of unity between man and nature. No matter how you look at it, I have made a profit."

Wuming had a smile on his face and seemed to be very open-minded.

"In that case, it's a win-win situation!"

Wuming smiled and without any hesitation took out two copper boxes from the bag behind him.

This was also the first time that Bai Yuan saw the copper box related to the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon. There was a special mechanism on the copper box, and it could only be opened by special methods. If one used violence to force open the copper box, it would only cause the copper box to self-destruct.

Bai Yuan just took a quick look and put the two copper boxes into the Shenyun space.

When Wuming saw Bai Yuan's method, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After handing the copper box to Bai Yuan, Wuming reminded him again.

"The power of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars is coveted by many people. Those who intend to restore their country will not give up such a treasure. In fact, they are also eyeing the copper box. Now that the copper box is handed over to you, it also means that trouble may come to you, so you must also be vigilant and never underestimate those people!"

After saying that, Wuming picked up the hat and put it on, bowed to Bai Yuan, practiced the sitting and forgetting technique, and left.

Bai Yuan looked at Wuming's disappearing figure, a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

As an enemy that even a master like Wuming has repeatedly emphasized, perhaps he should not underestimate the other party.

Chapter 392: No Bottom Line (4000 words long chapter)

Not long after Wuming left, Bai Yuan sent a message to Yan Fei and Yue Shen through heavenly voice.

"I have already got the copper box. If there is no problem with Tianze, you can come back first."

He had already left a trace of dragon energy on the two of them to facilitate communication.

The Dragon's Energy is inherently mysterious and can even transform into life, and this is also a new use that he researched some time ago.

Through this dragon-swimming energy, he can greatly extend the distance of the sound transmission from heaven. If his cultivation is sufficient, he can even transmit the sound over a thousand miles. The consumption is far less than that of the Taoist secret technique of transmitting the sound over a thousand miles, and it saves both trouble and effort.

At this moment, Yan Fei and Yue Shen were still tracking Tian Ze and Wei Zhuang, and they had already run quite far away from Xinzheng city.

But the fight between Bai Yuan and Wuming just now was no less noisy than the fight between the two of them and Wuming that night, and it was even more terrifying.

Even though they were at such a long distance, the two of them could still sense the collision of the two sword intentions.

So Yan Fei and Yue Shen were actually still a little worried.

Now, when they suddenly heard Bai Yuan's voice transmission, they were immediately delighted and couldn't help but look at each other.

"We got it. Tianze has escaped Bai Yifei's pursuit. We will go back soon."

After Yan Fei and Yue Shen replied to Bai Yuan, they no longer cared about the situation on Tian Ze and Wei Zhuang's side. They erased all traces nearby and then used their lightness skills to rush towards the city.

When the two returned to Bai Yuan's house in the city, Bai Yuan had been waiting there for a long time.

In the backyard, Bai Yuan sat there drinking tea leisurely, and two copper boxes of similar shapes were placed on the stone table.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen immediately recognized that this was the copper box they needed.

The two men hurried forward.

The Moon Goddess picked up the copper box and examined it carefully: "Is this the copper box from Zhao and Wei?"

Yan Fei looked at Bai Yuan with concern.

"We could feel the movement from such a distance just now. Are you not injured?"

The Moon Goddess was looking at the copper box. When she heard the words of Yan Fei beside her, the smile on her face froze slightly.

Doesn't it seem like she doesn't understand the ways of the world and only has eyes for the copper box?

So the Moon Goddess quickly put down the copper box and showed the same concerned look.

However, before she could say any words of concern, she saw Bai Yuan smiling and shaking his head.

"I'm not injured, don't worry!"

The words of the Moon Goddess got stuck in her throat, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy with Yan Fei.

But at this moment, Yan Fei deliberately gave her a proud look, as if she was showing off something.

The Moon Goddess narrowed her eyes slightly, clenched and unclenched her fists under her sleeves, and ignored her.

She sat down, gently stroking the lines on the copper box with her fingers, and asked curiously, "How did you get these two copper boxes?"

Yan Fei was also very curious about this. She looked at Bai Yuan quietly, waiting for his answer.

Bai Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, groaned, and explained:

"It's not that difficult actually. I happen to know that person. We are good friends. The copper box is actually of no use to him. It's just that for some reason, he had to protect the copper box from others. I agreed to a condition to get these two copper boxes."

After hearing Bai Yuan's description, Yan Fei and Yue Shen both felt it was a little unbelievable.

"How could such a coincidence happen in the world! But what conditions did you agree to? If necessary, the Yin-Yang family is willing to help you pay the price."

Yan Fei said very seriously.

Although the Yin-Yang family and Bai Yuan are still cooperating, they cannot just accept the two copper boxes.

Since it is cooperation, the help should be mutual and based on equality.

If they got the two copper boxes for free today and just let Bai Yuan pay, then this cooperative relationship would become very fragile.

Therefore, whether it was Yan Fei or Yue Shen, whether standing on the standpoint of the Yin-Yang family or from their personal standpoint, they were willing to fulfill the conditions that Bai Yuan had agreed to.

Even if the Yin-Yang family cannot accomplish it, they will definitely use other methods to make up for Bai Yuan's losses.

But Bai Yuan shook his head slightly.

"It's just an insignificant condition. If you feel bad about it, then you can treat me to a meal someday."

When Yan Fei and Yue Shen heard what Bai Yuan said, they stared at Bai Yuan's face and did not find any disguise on his part, so these words should not be just a show of strength.

So the two of them looked at each other and stopped dwelling on the matter.

However, the two of them began to think about the second half of Bai Yuan's words.

"Of course there is no problem with treating you to a meal, but the best food in the world is all here. If we treat you with just some ordinary food, it would seem a bit neglectful."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "How difficult is that? I have a recipe book here that I can lend you for reference. When you learn it, cook a meal for me as a thank you."

Bai Yuan snapped his fingers, and Yun Xi immediately understood and asked Lan Shuang to get the recipe.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen were stunned when they heard Bai Yuan's decision.

"Can we learn?"

"Of course, it's just a cookbook."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly and nodded gently.

This thing is precious... For people outside, it is like a treasure. Tasting good is just the basic thing. The key is that many dishes have some special effects.

To some extent, it is like a panacea.

But to Bai Yuan, it is not considered a treasure at all. At least Yun Xi and others just looked at it and learned it casually. They basically learned all the dishes in this cookbook. Anyone of them can kill the chef of the palace in seconds.

Of course, the highest quality of these dishes is green.

After all, they can learn but they can’t make higher quality dishes.
