【138】Barbarian Treasure
Ye Qingxuan was writing in a dull way, and a servant had already accepted Xue Gongwang's intention and went out to invite the imperial doctor from the villa to see Muzhe.
Except for one left hand, Mu Zhe's injury has basically stabilized.
Ye Qingxuan did not deliberately conceal Xue Gongwang's journey. After a while, Mo Yeli and others were invited to come upstairs. In order to avoid disturbing Mu Zhe's rest, the others had been invited back.
After Mo Yeli came up, he respectfully gave Xue Gongwang a respectful gift. He obviously knew the old man's identity in private, but he didn't dare to introduce him to others, but just asked everyone to call him Old Xue.
In order to strike more effective and powerfully, the imperial court's "Tiger Slaughter Operation" not only dispatched its own masters, but also secretly bribed a group of local martial arts masters in Yunzhou many years ago. In addition to covering the court personnel, they also hope that these people can act as surprise soldiers at critical moments to attack Chongxuan Tiger. Judging from this incident, Mo Yeli is probably one of the foreign masters invited in this "Tiger Slaughter Operation".
Xue Gongwang nodded in response to Mo Yeli's actions, which was considered acquiescent.
The people who went to the villa had already found their identity secretly. Naturally, Xue Gongwang would not have anyone revealed the secret of the world. Moreover, Xue Gongwang had already planned to keep these people on the villa together until the court's actions ended.
Ao Ziqing and others did not know the deal between Mr. Xue and Ye Qingxuan. They just saw Ye Qingxuan writing straight and not dared to disturb him. They hid aside and whispered to their own people.
"Boy, do you have any other conditions? Let me propose it together..." Xue Gongwang walked to Ye Qingxuan with a tea bowl and said lightly.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head, and then Jiang Shuihan and Yun Zhu greeted Xue Gongwang, while he buried himself in copying this magical martial art.
Xue Gong looked at Yun Zhu, whose breath was getting stronger and stronger, sighed, and started chatting with Jiang Shuihan in a word.
Although Yun Zhu recognized the old man, he thought he was the butler in the villa at most. He had never seen him before except to bring him into the villa. After politely greeting him, he stood by his hands and stopped talking.
The people above can be said to be all from the court at this time. Mo Yeli didn't know Ye Qingxuan's true identity before, but Xue Gongwang did not hide it here, and there was no need to hide it from his own people. He directly explained Ye Qingxuan's identity at that time, which made Mo Yeli feel that there was a deeper relationship between him and Ye Qingxuan, just like the love of a comrade in the same trench.
Mo Yeli, who was bored, suddenly slapped his forehead, which made everyone roll their eyes and laughed hurriedly: "Haha, why bother to wait here? Since Brother Ye is copying martial arts there, why don't we take out the extra things in our hands and have a small-scale trade fair? It just so happened that I, Old Mo, occasionally got something from a hundred thousand mountains a few years ago. I got a martial arts and some strange tricks on hand. I took it out for everyone to analyze and analyze..."
When Xue Gongwang heard this, his eyes lit up. This old man had two hobbies in his life, one was his peerless martial arts, and the other was his peerless food... Mo Yeli, a boy born in Yanzhou, ran to Yunzhou for adventure because he loved adventure. He settled in Yunzhou. It was nothing more than that this place was close to the 100,000 mountains. When he entered the mountain to explore, he often had some inexplicable fun things at hand. Once again, he actually got a piece of cold star iron the size of a fist, which directly allowed famous weapons experts to mix into the black jade cold iron to create a peerless treasure sword. Until now, His Majesty the Emperor still holds it by his side every day to appreciate it.
As soon as he heard Mo Yeli say something was going to be exchanged, Xue Gongwang immediately said excitedly: "What kind of fun did you get again? Take it out and show it to me old man..."
Mo Yeli laughed and took out a small package from his arms, which was folded flat and straight, looking like a book, but when he opened it, it was an animal skin that was as big as a tabletop after being unfolded. The skin was extremely broken, with traces of cutting swords and axes, loopholes of insects and rats bites, and smoked and burnt marks... The ghost talismans on it were usually filled with strange symbols, handwriting and pictures of ancient beasts, which were mysterious and difficult to understand.
Everyone gathered up curiously and rushed to watch, but no one could see what happened, except Xue Gongwang frowned and said nothing for a long time.
When Mo Yeli saw this, he was immediately happy and came forward and asked in a low voice: "Did Mr. Xue see something? I have been getting this animal skin for more than ten years. Although I know it is extremely precious, I can't understand only a few words. If Mr. Xue can understand it, the younger one has three boxing techniques and is willing to offer it..."
Ao Ziqing hurriedly asked, "But the [Thunder] attribute boxing technique used by the elder brother during the competition?"
Mo Yeli smiled proudly and said, "That's right."
Everyone spoke in surprise and looked at each other in surprise.
Could this inexplicable picture be a treasure that Mo Yeli was willing to spend so much effort to get it. Although the boxing technique with the [Thunder] attribute is only three moves, its power and rareness have obviously reached the yellow level or above. Is this picture of unknown origin really worth the price?
Xue Gongwang shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in your boxing techniques... I just think the texture of this animal skin is strange. It should be the skin of some rare beast. It is extremely strong, but it looks like this. It is obviously very old and has experienced many twists and turns at the same time... Please draw your sword and try it..."
Everyone looked at Ao Ziqing together. Mo Yeli nodded at Ao Ziqing. The disciple of Changkong immediately drew his sword in his hand and swung the animal skin on the table with one sword. With a bang, the table was almost cut down by a sword, but the animal skin had not left any trace.
Everyone was extremely shocked. Ao Ziqing's Bixiao Sword was a magic weapon mixed with "Ten Thousand Iron Smelting Essences". It was a first-class magic weapon forged by the "Sheng Soldier Pavilion". It was a hair cut off and a hundred swords were cut off without breaking the weapon. It was worth more than ten thousand gold. Unexpectedly, it was difficult to leave traces on a broken animal skin with one blow today. This shows the preciousness and strangeness of this animal skin.
Xue Gongwang picked up a corner of the animal skin, looked at it carefully, and finally sighed: "This animal skin has been at least five hundred years, and it is already amazing before it has rotted. Uh, I wonder if Brother Mo can tell the origin of this animal skin?"
Mo Yeli lowered for a moment, pondered silently, his face was gloomy and calm, as if his thoughts were struggling extremely. After a cup of tea, Mo Yeli finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This animal skin was stolen from the Yeli tribe temple in the 100,000 mountains..."
As soon as he said this, everyone had no reaction. The door of the inner hall was pushed open with a bang. Mu Zhe, who was pale-faced, appeared at the door, staring at Mo Yeli with an extremely surprised expression, his lips twitched due to excitement, and asked anxiously: "What did you say--? You, you say it again..."
"Brother Mu, are you awake?"
Including Ye Qingxuan, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to support Mu Zhe who woke up, but the barbarian man pushed everyone away, rushed over, grabbed Mo Yeli's wrist and asked: "Old Mo, are you saying true? Did you really steal this from the Yeli Temple? Did they use it for worship during sacrifices? Cough cough..."
Mu Zhe's new injury was just stable and had not healed. He was anxious and even coughed. He was so scared that Mo Yeli was so scared that he quickly rubbed his chest and breathed. He handed him a bowl of tea to moisten his throat. At the same time, he said: "Brother Mu, I'm here to discuss this matter with you, but your new injury has not healed at this time, why bother with it?"
Mu Zhe shook his hand, gasped for a while, and said slowly: "This matter is too important to my barbarians. Brother Mo, please help me to see the animal skin..."
Mo Yeli hurriedly helped Mu Zhe to the table, and a large piece of animal skin had spread out on the table. Mu Zhe looked excited, gently stroked the animal skin with his hands, muttering to himself while watching, and soon he was already full of tears.
Everyone was panicked for a moment and were confused. Ye Qingxuan quickly comforted him: "Brother Mu, but is this animal skin an ancient creature in the clan?"
Mu Zhe was stunned, then nodded repeatedly, and said bluntly: "It is true that it is said to be something in my clan, but this thing is not something in my clan, but the treasure of my entire barbarian..."
A treasure?
When everyone heard this, they raised their ears and listened carefully to the story. Even Xue Gongwang pulled up his neck and stared at the animal skin.
Mu Zhe sighed, with a sad expression and a confused look on his face, as if he had been trapped in a long-standing memory, and slowly explained: "The animal skin in front of him is not just this one, but a total of six pieces. Together, it is the sacred object of my barbarian race, "Beast Picture".
A picture of a wild beast?
Never heard of it...
And I didn't expect that this broken animal skin was actually a holy object of the barbarians, and it seemed to be extremely precious.
Mu Zhe breathed for a moment and continued, "This 'Barbarian Beast Map' was used by our ancestors when our barbarians were unified. Among them was the holy beast of our barbarians, the 'Lin' of our barbarians', and the surroundings were the rare beasts representing the various divisions of the barbarians. Not only did the rituals of sacrifices be recorded, but the most important thing was to record many of the miracle techniques that our barbarians relied on for survival.
This ‘Beast Picture’ is extremely important for our barbarians’ people, and they have always been worshipped as a holy object by their tribe members. Whoever masters the ‘Beast Picture’ is equivalent to mastering the will of the barbarians.”
Just this sentence caused an uproar among the crowd. Especially Xue Gongwang, who was a man in the court, almost instantly understood the important political meaning contained in this barbarian holy object.
With this "barbarian beast map", it is almost certain that the court can fully extend his hand into the barbarian forces. The barbarians have always been a solid piece. Even if there are vassals of Kapok and other tribes, they are more likely to use the Chinese forces to protect them. The court has no way to speak much about the internal affairs of the barbarians. Even for Mu Zhe, a barbarian who has a very good impression of the court, it will be difficult to intervene in depth once it involves barbarian affairs.
