~15 min read 2,886 words

It's not that it has to be Tong Xiangyu, she even plucked wool from Chu Yang. With this courage, she could do a great thing if she didn't be the Manager of Tongfu Inn.

Old Bai was not very good, scared to sit on the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

So I am that fool with money?

Chu Yang shook his head and laughed, not angry, but said to Tong Xiangyu, "Manager Tong, does your inn sell jewelry?"

Tong Xiangyu laughed dryly, "Just earn a little money to subsidize the family."

Chu Yang thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, Manager Tong, bring it for me to take a look. If it's not bad, I can consider buying some."

"Many thanks, Prince." Tong Xiangyu got up in high spirits and returned to the second floor. When passing by Old Bai, she didn't forget to kick him.

"Go and close the door."

Old Bai dared not speak, hurriedly got up and closed the newly pushed door. It was a bit dangerous to expose those funerary objects in broad daylight.

Not long after, Tong Xiangyu hugged the bundle and walked down step by step. The things looked quite heavy, and she was a bit strenuous.

Just at this moment, Chu Yang felt a strange feeling, there really was something in the bundle.

Thump! Tong Xiangyu put the bundle on the table, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said, "Prince, choose for yourself, take whatever you like."

After speaking, she untied the bundle, revealing the things inside.

A rich yin aura rushed toward her face.

Perhaps because the cultivation was too low, except for Chu Yang, others seemed to have no feeling, even Tong Xiangyu, who was closest, was like this.

These things were funerary objects. If living people contacted them for a long time, they would get sick at best, and lose their lives at worst. Although Tong Xiangyu was a bit greedy for money, she also knew taboos, so she didn't touch these funerary jewelry much, so the impact on her body was not great.

Chu Yang didn't have any taboos. He picked a piece of jewelry at random. While holding it in his hand, the yin aura on it melted rapidly, and all of it was swallowed clean by 【Fengdu】.

This little thing didn't even count as a snack, at most it was like drinking a sip of milk tea.

Chu Yang searched while removing the yin aura on it, until he found a mutton-fat white jade thumb ring, and then stopped.

The thumb ring was delicate and warm, and the luster was condensed like grease, which was exactly the best mutton-fat white jade.

If it was just good texture, Chu Yang wouldn't put it in his eyes. There were many such things in the palace. What really made Chu Yang care was that there was a true essence and a trace of spiritual power left in the thumb ring.

The spiritual power contained a torrent of information.

To be able to do this, the original owner of the thumb ring had reached the realm of Grandmaster in martial arts, and was in a peak state, ready to break through at any time.

How could there be such a thing in the tomb of Prince Xin on Taiping Mountain?

And it happened to be dug out by Lei Laowu, the grave robber.

It can only be said that it is God's will.

The information left in the thumb ring was martial arts, and it was extremely weird, not like the right path. Chu Yang was a person who had no taboos, didn't care about these, and silently studied it in his heart.

"Heaven and Earth Crossing Yin and Yang Great Sorrow Fu"

The supreme martial arts of the Demon Sect in legend, recorded seven of the most evil and terrible martial arts, only the Demon Sect Leader was qualified to learn, and only three styles were circulated in the jianghu.

【Heavenly Extinction Earth Extinction Great Soul Searching Hand】 【Heavenly Shift Earth Turn Great Acupoint Shifting Method】 【Heavenly Extinction Earth Extinction Great Ziyang Hand】

Just three styles, those who learned them could roam the martial arts world, which showed the terror of this martial art.

Tong Xiangyu looked at Chu Yang playing with the thumb ring and couldn't put it down, and smiled lightly, "Prince seems to like this thumb ring very much, why not let me decide to give it to the Prince, and you choose other jewelry?"

Chu Yang smiled, "Manager Tong is really good at doing business, no wonder the business of Tongfu Inn is booming, but many thanks for the Manager's kindness, no need to give it."

Tong Xiangyu said, "How can that be?"

Chu Yang waved his hand, took out a piece of gold and sent it to Tong Xiangyu. Tong Xiangyu's eyes widened immediately, and she didn't expect this thing to be so valuable!

"Manager, open a superior room, I'll rest for a while."

"Oh, good good good, Zhantang, hurry up and take the Prince to rest."

Perhaps shocked by Chu Yang's local tyrant behavior, Tong Xiangyu didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and hurriedly ordered Old Bai.

"Prince, follow me." Old Bai went to the second floor in three or two steps.

Watching Chu Yang leave, Tong Xiangyu hugged the bundle containing the funerary objects, shocked, "My dear mother, these things are so valuable, I must find someone to sell them quickly!"

In the guest room.

Chu Yang was immersed in the mystery of "Heaven and Earth Crossing Yin and Yang Great Sorrow Fu". Because it was not a martial art learned from others using 【Rinnegan】, the speed was a bit slower than usual.

"I have learned quite a few top martial arts in this world. Although the conception is not as good as Tai Chi, it is also very beneficial."

"When Yan Nantian passed his skills to Li Ge Xiao, I learned his Wedding Dress Divine Art and Divine Sword Decision. The drawbacks of the Wedding Dress Divine Art don't count for anything to me. Even if I don't pass on the skills, I can easily suppress them."

"Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng's sword techniques have their own merits. Ximen Chuixue focuses on sword technique, Ye Gucheng focuses on sword intent, and the Divine Sword Decision has both, but it is too rigid and violent, taking the path of one force to drop ten meetings, which is similar to my Dragon Elephant Ming King Decision."

"If there is a chance, I must discuss these sword techniques with Li Xiaoyao and Jingtian."

"It's just that the Mingyu Art is a bit of a pity. I didn't learn it when I fought Yao Yue last time. I still have to take Li Ge Xiao to visit Yihua Palace in the future..."

"I hope Heaven and Earth Crossing Yin and Yang Great Sorrow Fu won't let me down. It is a Demon Sect absolute art that is as famous as the Mingyu Art and the Wedding Dress Divine Art."

"Speaking of which, the tomb of Prince Xin has a problem."

Chu Yang was immersed in cultivation, and didn't notice the passage of time at all. The sun outside the window set and rose again, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

In the lobby.

Guo Furong was whispering to Old Bai.

"I went to Zuo Family Village with Xiucai's manuscript yesterday, guess who I met?"

"Who?"

"Fan Danniang!"

"Who is Fan Danniang, your relative?"

"Roll, that's the most famous book merchant in the capital, don't you know?"

"Remembered, Three Kingdoms was published by her."

"Nonsense, that's Three Kingdoms Prequel, Journey to the West Sequel, Water Margin Outer Biography."

"Haven't seen it."

"And Golden Bottle..." "I really haven't seen this!"

Guo Furong looked at Old Bai with disdain.

Old Bai awkwardly picked up the water pot on the side and asked, "Drink water?"

"Drink a hammer." Guo Furong said angrily, "Remember what I told you before, if Xiucai doesn't listen, you..."

Old Bai nodded and said, "Sunflower Pointing Acupoint Hand!"

After noon, the sun moved down a bit, and Tong Xiangyu's crying echoed on the second floor. Chu Yang woke up from cultivation, opened the door and walked to the end of the second floor.

"What's wrong with Manager Tong?"

"I sold the jewelry..."

"This is a good thing, why are you crying?"

"I sold my own jewelry."

Tong Xiangyu originally wanted to sell the funerary objects as soon as possible, and sold them to Qian Manager of the Wanli Pawnshop and Bank next door. As a result, Constable Xing of Seven Heroes Town suddenly came. She didn't dare to sell the funerary objects, so she could only sell her own jewelry, and at a very low price.

The funerary objects couldn't be sold, and her own things were sold at a blood loss. Tong Xiangyu was simply desperate, and the silver earned from Chu Yang's side didn't smell good.

Chu Yang, standing outside the door, couldn't cry or laugh.

People always have to pay the price for their greed, it's just a matter of time.

But for Tong Xiangyu, the suffering time had just begun, and there were a bunch of annoying things waiting for her later.

Guo Furong went to Zuo Family Village and found the hottest book merchant, Fan Danniang. Under the witness of her and Old Bai, Lu Xiucai bit the bullet and signed a contract with the other party.

It's just that neither of them noticed some small tricks on Fan Danniang's contract.

Tong Xiangyu, who was still sad, also reminded them not to sign things randomly. The three of them were immersed in the joy of publishing a book and didn't take her words to heart.

Chu Yang shook his head helplessly. This group of people had their own losses to eat.

Having gained a divine art, and in a good mood, he planned to go out for a spin. Since he came to Seven Heroes Town, it wouldn't be bad to go to Shibalipu to see.

Seven Heroes Town, Zuo Family Village, and Shibalipu all belonged to Pinggu County, all of which were areas managed by Magistrate Lou, and Shibalipu was where the county government was located.

That is, the proper "county town", the prosperity level was a grade higher than Seven Heroes Town, but Seven Heroes Town was good because it was close to Baima Academy, belonging to the school district.

Even in ancient times, as long as it was related to school, this piece of land would not be lonely.

There were many more shops in Shibalipu than in Seven Heroes Town. There were more than one or two inns and restaurants, although they were all opposite businesses, each was very prosperous, and the most powerful thing was that Shibalipu had a commercial street, with everything to eat, drink, and play.

Chu Yang felt like he was walking on a pedestrian street while shopping.

Just when Chu Yang planned to buy some specialties to go back, the crowded crowd suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. Chu Yang looked closely and found that there were Jinyiwei rushing toward this side.

The face under the crown was very cold, as if something big had happened. Chu Yang recognized the leader, it was the "killing demons countless" Left Thousand Households! "It's really a coincidence, I met him in Seven Heroes Town last time."

While Chu Yang saw Left Thousand Households, Left Thousand Households also saw him. This Left Thousand Households, who was "Taishan collapsed in front and color did not change", changed color completely, ignoring the so-called task, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, hurried to Chu Yang.

"Your Maj..." Left Thousand Households knelt down immediately. Before he finished speaking, he was lifted up by Chu Yang.

"What are you closing! Shut up for me." Chu Yang said irritably, "It's not easy to come out to play, don't be annoying!"

Left Thousand Households grinned, understood Chu Yang's meaning, and immediately changed his words, "My Lord, why are you here?"

"To see the stinky girl." Chu Yang glanced at the large number of Jinyiwei behind him and asked curiously, "I should be the one asking why you are here?"

Left Thousand Households sighed and said, "The tomb of Prince Xin on Taiping Mountain was dug, and we traced it all the way here."

Chu Yang frowned and said, "Is a tomb of Prince Xin worth your Left Thousand Households traveling thousands of miles?"

Left Thousand Households didn't answer immediately, because the commoners watching the fun around were gradually increasing, and they were almost surrounded. He had no choice but to remind Chu Yang to leave first.

Chu Yang took him into a restaurant. Those hundred households and small flag officials who followed the two were left in the lobby, watching them go to the second-floor private room with eager eyes.

As soon as they entered the room, Left Thousand Households knelt down with a thump, "This subordinate is rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"That's it, I forgot to tell you just now, I don't like these vain rituals, get up quickly, if Li Ge Xiao knows, I don't know how he will laugh at you."

Chu Yang sat in the chair, looking at Left Thousand Households impatiently.

"Li Ge Xiao is lucky, he achieved the Grandmaster realm by following His Majesty, which makes this subordinate very jealous."

Left Thousand Households was not flattering, he was really jealous. Who in the Jinyiwei didn't know that it was the Emperor who cured Li Ge Xiao, and the latter even broke and stood up, and his martial arts cultivation went further.

"You kid only see the thief eating meat, but don't see the thief being beaten, right?" Chu Yang shook his head helplessly, "Talk about the situation of Prince Xin's tomb."

Left Thousand Households' expression suddenly became heavy, "Some time ago, Prince Xin's tomb was dug open by grave robbers, and many funerary objects were stolen. The tomb of the Prince was dug, which was originally a big event, but because of the recent alchemy, few people knew about it."

The heat of alchemy was very high, sweeping the entire Ming Empire. In contrast, the heat of Prince Xin's tomb being stolen became lower.

"The Cabinet sent Liu Luosheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to investigate the matter thoroughly, saying that as long as the grave robbers were caught, they could be executed on the spot. Minister Liu went to Taiping Mountain with people as soon as he received the assignment. He didn't know it, but there were demons making trouble near Prince Xin's tomb."

"Fortunately, there were experts in the team at that time, and the incense near Taiping Mountain was prosperous, and there were experts from Buddhism and Taoism, so they calmed the demon disaster."

"Once the demons came out, everyone understood that there was a huge change in Prince Xin's tomb. As a result, they went to see it and found that Prince Xin's tomb had long been hollowed out, and it had become a secret stronghold of the Demon Sect."

"But looking at the dust all over the place, it seems that no one has come for a long time, as if it had been abandoned for a long time."

"The damn grave robber dug away all the gold and silver treasures of the Demon Sect, as well as extremely valuable items. The adults in the Cabinet asked me to personally recover this batch of funerary objects."

Chu Yang guessed that Prince Xin's tomb had a connection with the Demon Sect, but he didn't expect that they had dug the tomb chamber clean. The Demon Sect people really had no taboos in their actions, and didn't even talk about the most basic morality.

The Jinyiwei probably wanted to trace the thumb ring that Chu Yang had just obtained, which recorded the top martial art "Heaven and Earth Crossing Yin and Yang Great Sorrow Fu".

From this perspective, the Demon Sect person who hollowed out Prince Xin's tomb was definitely not an ordinary believer.

Chu Yang said, "That batch of things has fallen into my hands, no need to continue tracing. You tell Minister Liu to focus his attention on Prince Xin's tomb, check the traces of the Demon Sect carefully, and see if there is anything left in it."

Left Thousand Households looked at Chu Yang in shock, "Your Majesty, you just said that the things are in..."

Chu Yang nodded, "I got it from that grave robber by chance. I remember his name is Lei Laowu, right?"

"Exactly." Left Thousand Households sighed, "As expected of Your Majesty, you can solve such a big case even when you come out to play."

"Since the things are in His Majesty's hands, I will go back to report."

Chu Yang suddenly remembered one thing, called Left Thousand Households to stop, and said, "Before you leave, check a book merchant named Fan Danniang and catch her back."

Left Thousand Households thought it was some powerful character who could let the Emperor name her personally, so he left with great interest. (End of this chapter) ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
