Miao Qi Miao
Chapter 1629 Overlapping Ballads
"If you accumulate enough people, you can withdraw from the vanguard camp and be incorporated into the rear echelon."
"If your merits are sufficient, you may not even have to participate in the Heavenly Tribulation War."
"Have I made myself clear?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Zang Tianji quickly poured cold water on them, "However, I must first tell you that the Gu poison I gave you is called Wen Xin Gu. It's not a worm Gu, but a ghost Gu."
"To put it plainly, after you ingest the Gu poison, a ghost will lie on your heart. As long as you have any crooked thoughts, use my Gu poison to harm the righteous warriors responding to the tribulation, or kill the good to take credit, it will tear out your heart."
"The Gu poison I give to them is worm Gu. You can use it at will!"
Miao Jiang Gu poison is not all poisonous insects. Some of them contain Gu poison based on ghosts, similar to spells, which is what Miao Jiang wizards call ghost Gu.
Ghost Gu is more difficult to refine than worm Gu, and even Miao Jiang wizards will not use it easily. This time, Zero and Black Night Owl really went all out.
Those kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly, obediently letting the wizard administer the Gu poison.
Zang Tianji was certain that after these people returned, the first thing they would do was attack their own sects and even their clansmen. That was their nature.
However, these things were not within the scope of consideration for Zero and Zang Tianji.
They only wanted results.
Zero and Zang Tianji took down nearly thirty sects of the Art Dao in just two days.
These people, who had only clamored at the Liangjie Tang the day before, turned into hungry wolves pouncing on the Reincarnation Division in less than a night.
The Reincarnation Division's hidden agents who came into contact with them turned into a pile of bloody numbers, recorded in their merit books.
Ye Yang and I had also arrived near the Shu region during this time.
Before entering Sichuan, we first found a rest stop to stop.
I held the information collected by Chen Shuyu and said, "Why is the information on Shi Dakai's treasure so chaotic? Some of it overlaps with Zhang Xianzhong's sunken ship."
Lin Zhao said, "The matter of Shi Dakai's treasure has always been controversial. Some people say that there are three locations for Shi Dakai's treasure. There are also many versions of the treasure-seeking mantra. No one can say for sure whether Shi Dakai's treasure really exists."
"Zhang Xianzhong's treasure only has one version, which is that the ship sank at the mouth of the Min River."
(Due to the inability to include real place names in the novel, there are some minor changes. Please forgive me, readers!)
"However, legends like this get mixed up as they are passed down. Maybe someone combined the legends of the two treasures."
I waved my hand and said, "Listen to me first. Let's talk about Zhang Xianzhong's treasure first."
Legend has it that Zhang Xianzhong, a generation of heroes, robbed many treasures from princes and nobles in order to expand his military treasury and support his army. Later, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he did not even spare the common people. Everywhere he went was looted.
Before Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, all the treasures he had collected were buried in the Min River. The amount of treasure was enough to rival a country. The location of the sunken ship was probably at the mouth of the Min River.
Later archaeologists once organized the salvage of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure.
Among the items salvaged, two things puzzled the experts extremely. One was a seemingly ordinary Wuzhu coin.
The Wuzhu coin came from the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun. The tomb of the Marquis of Haihun was the tomb of Liu He, the deposed emperor of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Xianzhong was a rebel general in the late Ming Dynasty. The two did not belong to the same era at all. How could the Wuzhu coin from the Han Dynasty end up in Zhang Xianzhong's hands?
Some people speculated that Zhang Xianzhong was very interested in ancient coins during his lifetime, so he robbed this Wuzhu coin from others and kept it for himself, and brought it into his tomb after his death.
However, the experts were soon shocked by another coin, which was the "Liyong Tongbao." The Liyong Tongbao was a coin cast during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty when Wu Sangui rebelled. Why did it appear in Zhang Xianzhong's treasure?
Zhang Xianzhong certainly couldn't travel to the Kangxi period to collect Wu Sangui's coins. However, Shi Dakai could do it.
Then, can we assume that the sunken ship discovered at that time did not belong to Zhang Xianzhong, but to Shi Dakai? It's just that its location was in the Min River, not the Dadu River where Shi Dakai was defeated, so no one thought of putting them together.
When I said this, I paused slightly and said, "The treasure-seeking ballads of Zhang Xianzhong and Shi Dakai have a very similar overlap."
"One ballad: 'Stone ox faces stone drum, gold and silver worth millions. Whoever can figure it out can buy all of Chengdu.'"
"The other one is: 'Stone dragon faces stone tiger, gold and silver fill the mountains. Understand the meaning of this, and buy Chengdu.'"
"Do you think this could be one ballad, but it was transmitted incorrectly during the process of transmission, and turned into different versions with different homophones?"
Lin Zhao said, "I've also heard this legend, but no one knows what the stone dragon, stone tiger, stone ox, and stone drum are."
