"I'm sorry for causing you trouble! It's true that I was too impulsive and didn't think carefully enough..."

After thinking about it, I feel that it is necessary for me to apologize to Brother Zhang for my behavior. Although I do not feel that I have done anything wrong, one thing is undeniable. That is, because of the relationship between me and Mr. Zhai.

The conflict between them is bound to affect Brother Zhang’s family.

After all, I was led to the village by Brother Zhang...

He hates the house and the bird. With the character of the village elder, who can guarantee that he will not target Brother Zhang’s family everywhere in the future?

"ha?"

After hearing my apology, Brother Zhang couldn't help but was stunned, scratched his forehead, and then said with a speechless face: "What are you talking about? What kind of apology are you making to me? This matter was originally his fault.

What you always do is wrong, you are just acting in self-defense..."

"correct!"

At this point, Brother Zhang seemed to suddenly understand what I meant, and then he smiled and said: "If you are worried that the village elder will come to our house with a grudge because of this, then you can rest assured! I forgot to tell you, I

Grandma is also one of the village elders in the village, so he doesn’t dare to do anything to our family!"

"oh?"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "That's good!"

Although I didn’t meet Brother Zhang’s grandmother when I went to Brother Zhang’s house this time, to be able to become a village elder must be no ordinary person! As long as Brother Zhang’s family is not affected, then I’ll be relieved.

As for the threat from the village elder to me, I don't care at all. I'm not afraid of itching when there are too many lice. I dare to provoke a giant like the Liu family, but why am I afraid of him being a mere Gu master?

While talking, Director Han had already finished talking on the phone, and then he said to Brother Zhang and me: "Let's go! Let's go to the nearby police station to file a report!"

As Director Han was the deputy director of the district, the director of the local police station received us warmly. However, when we told the whole story, the director's face suddenly became ugly.

It’s no wonder that once the matter involves ethnic minorities, no matter how small it is, they need to pay great attention to it. Otherwise, once it escalates to an ethnic issue, bloody conflicts are likely to occur. And by then, even if they are

Will also be implicated...

However, where is the identity of Director Han? Even though he was a little unhappy, the director still acted as a peacemaker and promptly sent someone to get in touch with the Yi people who had just chased us. Representatives from there soon arrived.

Police station.

Fortunately, the other party is not as unreasonable as we imagined.

On the contrary, that person was not only reasonable, but also easily accepted our statement and no longer doubted us. But he asked us to work with them to find the real thief. Only in this way can we completely prove our innocence.

To this, we agreed without even thinking about it. After all, we were originally going to investigate Sima Yin. If the Phoenix Feather was really in his hands, it was just a matter of convenience!

Moreover, once we agree to help, not only can we prove our innocence, but we can also get help from these Yi people!

After all, this is their home field. With the Yi people's help, it will undoubtedly be much easier to find Sima Yin.

And it was only then that I learned that the Yi people who had chased us before were actually the descendants of Mrs. Shexiang and the guardians of the "Shexiang Tomb"! No wonder they were so angry when they saw the Phoenix Feather missing.

anxious……

But when we asked what the lost phoenix feathers were and what they were used for, the man suddenly fell silent, shaking his head repeatedly without saying a word.

The other party kept silent, so naturally we couldn't force it. But this also proved from the side that the thing was indeed not a mortal thing. Otherwise, how could they be so cautious and not dare to reveal even a word?

The misunderstanding was resolved, and we returned to Shexiang Tomb that afternoon.

Here, we met their leader, a young Yi man whose physique and acting style are quite similar to Sha Biao: Longzan Gebu. This name is really hard to pronounce, but fortunately he also has a Han name, called Anding.

So we all called him "Brother Anding".

Brother Anding is also the kind of person with a very forthright personality, and his skills seem to be good, and it is said that he is the thirteenth generation grandson of Mrs. Shexiang! This can be seen from his Yi ethnic name, the two words "Longzan"

The name is exactly the surname of Shexiang's husband, Longzan Aicui, the envoy of Xuanwei in Qianzhou.

Not only that, even the Han name he chose for himself also proves this point. Because the surname "An" was given by Zhu Yuanzhang to Mrs. Shexiang's only son Aqilong.

In addition to Brother Anding, we also met another person here, and the moment I saw him, my mood was not so beautiful!

This person is none other than Ning Zhaoyang! The old monk I met last time at the Wulichong Funeral Parlor in Qianyang!

I didn’t expect that the Religious Affairs Bureau would act so quickly. In just over an hour, people from the Religious Affairs Bureau arrived at the scene? Isn’t this too fast?

Later I found out that Ning Zhaoyang happened to be attending a Buddhist seminar in the Bijie area today, and he rushed over as soon as he received the news. Otherwise, if he were rushing here from Qianyang, even if he received the notice, he would rush over immediately.

Even if you are traveling non-stop, you will never be able to go so fast!

Perhaps because of what happened at Wulichong Funeral Home last time, my impression of Ning Zhaoyang was not very good, or even very bad.

Apart from the possibility that the "Jiehu Formation" in the funeral parlor had something to do with him, the fact that he directly killed Feng Chen's soul that day also left a very bad impression on me.

This person is definitely a ruthless person, and it is really not a pleasant thing to work with such a person.

Different from my reaction, Director Han and Brother Zhang seemed extremely happy after seeing him! Probably that day, after Lao Zhangtou and I left, he also showed his strength in front of Director Han and Brother Zhang.

That's why I won their respect.

"Hey, isn't this the Comrade Xiao Wang we met at the funeral home last time?"

I don't want to see Ning Zhaoyang, and Ning Zhaoyang doesn't seem to want to see me either. He said with a strange look on his face: "What? So you are here too?"

"Ah! I bet you guys have known each other for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Anding, who was about to introduce it to everyone, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he smiled and said: "That's great. Since we are all acquaintances, let's get down to business!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for our reply, he began to explain the current situation to us. The strange thing is that Brother Anding didn't know where Sima Yin was at the moment, but he insisted that Sima Yin had obtained

After Phoenix Feather, we will definitely go to a place. All we need to do is wait and see.

All of a sudden, it was not only me who was interested in the origin of the phoenix feathers, but even Ning Zhaoyang couldn't help but ask about it.

However, Brother Anding looked embarrassed and still refused to reveal any useful information. He only apologized to us profusely, saying that it was a family secret and it was not convenient for us to know.

It was okay for him to send me, Brother Zhang and others away, but it was obviously impossible to send away Ning Zhaoyang, an old fox. Then Ning Zhaoyang said with a sneer: "Longzan leader , we are here to help. If there is not even this most basic trust between you and me, it is really difficult for me to convince myself why I should take the risk..."

"that is!"

As soon as Ning Zhaoyang finished speaking, Brother Zhang couldn't help but echoed: "That guy named Sima Yin is definitely a dangerous person. Just a few days ago, brother Wang Lin and I almost died in his hands. , it’s already happened, if you still hide it from us, we don’t want to go through this muddy water again..."

"Sima Yin?"

As soon as Brother Zhang finished speaking, and before Brother Anding could express his stance, Ning Zhaoyang stood up from his chair with a loud noise and asked hurriedly: "You mean, the person who took away the Phoenix Feather turned out to be Sima Yin?"

"yes!"

Brother Zhang nodded suspiciously, and then asked: "What? Does President Ning know him?"

"do not know!"

After saying something lightly, Ning Zhaoyang sat back on the chair and said nothing.

"..."

Except for me, almost everyone glanced at him speechlessly. How come you are so excited even if I don't know you?

And I frowned subconsciously, and instantly connected many things together. As early as more than ten days ago, Lao Zhangtou once said that the "Juehu Formation" in the funeral parlor must be related to Ning Zhaoyang, even if If he didn't arrange it himself, then he was also one of the insiders! At the same time, Lao Zhangtou also said that the reason why we found the Exhaust Formation was because Sima Yin deliberately led us there.

Before, I had been wondering why Sima Yin did this, but now looking at Ning Zhaoyang's reaction, there is definitely something going on here!

Hearing the words "Sima Yin", Ning Zhaoyang's eyes clearly flashed with shock and even fear. In other words, he knew Sima Yin and should have at least heard of him.

Could it be that the reason why Sima Yin led us to discover the "Juehu Formation" in the first place was to target Ning Zhaoyang?

Judging from Ning Zhaoyang's reaction just now, this possibility is undoubtedly very high!

And just when I was thinking hard, Ning Zhaoyang spoke again: "Long Zantou, to tell you the truth, although I am a member of the Religious Affairs Bureau, it is only a temporary job! In fact, things like this are not It’s not under my control. You can either tell us the truth or wait for the Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau to send someone. My Buddhist seminar in Bijie hasn’t ended yet, so I’m afraid I have to rush back right away..."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Brother Anding suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After being silent for a long time, he finally nodded and said: "Okay! In that case, it's okay for An to tell everyone. However, this matter is of great importance, so I still can't. Please do not spread the word! Otherwise, you will become the mortal enemy of my entire Shuixi Yi tribe and will fight to the death!"

Brother Anding said it solemnly, and we all felt shocked. We nodded quickly and immediately stated that we would never spread the word!

After receiving our assurance, Brother Anding did not directly explain to us the origin and use of the phoenix feathers. Instead, he asked us: "I wonder if any of you have heard of the Kingdom of Luodian?"

"The Kingdom of Luodian?"

I have heard of Luodian County, which is right over in southern Guizhou. Several of my classmates are from there. But if you talk about the Luodian Kingdom, forgive me for my ignorance, I have never heard of it.

"I know!"

Just when everyone was staring at Brother Anding with suspicion, Brother Zhang suddenly shouted with excitement: "Are you talking about 'Muog'?"

"Muog?"

As soon as we heard this, we couldn't help but become more and more suspicious, thinking to ourselves, what the hell is this "Muog"?

"That's right! Among our Yi people, it is indeed called Mu'og! But in the records of the Han people, it is called the Luodian Kingdom!"

Brother Anding nodded appreciatively at Brother Zhang, and then explained: "The location we are standing on now is actually the location of the castle built by the Luodian Kingdom!"

"One thousand seven hundred years ago, Tuo Azhe, the ancestor of our Shuixi Yi people, formed an alliance with Zhuge Kongming in Chu'ao Mountain in the third year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty. He assisted Kongming in his southern expedition and was canonized as King of Luodian, ordering him to govern Mu.
