After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1277 Doubts
"Yes. But for the exact crop information, you have to ask my brother, I can't remember it." Dou Wuxing is an agronomist. "Oh, that's the gift brought by foreign envoys. Pepper was also introduced at the same time."

"In other words, there were no date palms in the Shahe River Basin three hundred years ago?" He Lingchuan pondered.

"Yes. It seemed to have taken more than 50 years from the successful introduction of the species to its widespread planting."

"Now that you're here, let me ask you one more question." He Lingchuan also picked up a date and ate it. "The surname of the Mou Kingdom seems to have originated in the Shahe River Basin?"

"That's right. The founding ancestor of the Mou State was named Xin. He was born in our Shahe River Basin and is called the Shahe Xin Clan!"

Dou Wenguan added, "To this day, there is still a branch of the Xin family left in Shahe. They are descendants of immortals and members of the royal family of Mou State, and they are extremely powerful. I have been to their mansion, which is vast and endless, as magnificent as a palace. Whenever there is a local event, the county governor must first consult the Xin family before making a decision."

He coughed lightly and said, "My brother and I left Lingxu City and returned to our hometown to seek employment. We found a job under the Xin family."

His last job was working for Xin.

He Lingchuan nodded: "The Mou Kingdom has been in existence for 150 years, right? How much do you know about this founding ancestor?"

"The founding emperor Xin Haiping started an uprising 154 years ago, and in just three years he defeated all other opponents and founded the Mou Kingdom." Dou Wenguan added, "It is said that when he was born, hundreds of birds came to wait for him. The sand river had been gloomy for a hundred days, but when he was born, the clouds broke and the sun rose, spreading golden light everywhere."

He Lingchuan laughed and said, "Is this true or fabricated?"

In this world, auspicious signs from heaven are not uncommon.

Dou Wenguan scratched his head: "I haven't verified the authenticity of local stories."

He has told everything he knows. What happened more than a hundred years ago has become a legend. Where can we find out whether it is true or not?
"How many brothers did this founding emperor have? What were their names?"

"Uh, this..." The lord's questions today were all very strange. Dou Wenguan could only say, "Shall I send a message back to ask?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan asked another strange question, "Does the Xin family of Shahe preserve the portrait of the founding emperor?"

Dou Wenguan racked his brains to recall, and finally remembered: "Oh, yes. Xin placed the portrait of Emperor Gaozu in the ancestral hall. I remember that Emperor Gaozu had big ears, a solemn face, and a graceful demeanor."

"Big ears?" He Lingchuan frowned.

"An elder who has been to Moudu told me that the portrait in the Xin family ancestral hall is very different from the one in the imperial capital of Mou. This is because the founding emperor left home at a young age and did not return to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors until he was seventy years old. Therefore, the portrait left in the ancestral hall is his appearance in old age."

"I see." It sounded like the portrait wasn't worth looking at.

He Lingchuan also knew that later generations tended to beautify their ancestors. Xin Haiping's portrait was probably distorted after several generations of painting.

After the leader finished questioning, Dou Wenguan was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and turned back to say, "Oh, by the way, I received a letter from Du Shan a few days ago. He set out from Beihai to the south, both by land and sea. If the journey goes smoothly, he will reach Yangshan in another seven or eight months."

This is really a long way to go. He Lingchuan nodded: "I understand."

Dou Wenguan then said goodbye.

He Lingchuan grabbed a rattan chair, sat down on the corridor and closed his eyes to rest.

One hundred and fifty-one years ago, the Xin family established the Mou Kingdom.

One hundred and fifty-one years ago, this number might not seem important to others, but He Lingchuan cared about it very much.

Because Panlong City was destroyed one hundred and fifty-two years ago!

The second year after Panlong City was destroyed, Mou State was established, one year after the other. Is there any story behind this?
The Xin family is a descendant of immortals, and the establishment of the Mou State is probably related to the support of Lingshan.

He Lingchuan thought of the imitation Yinglei gun that appeared at the Platinum Island sale. It was once the pistol of General Hong, but later became the personal weapon of the founding emperor.

In the Panlong world, Xin Yi, who is the special envoy of Lingshan, also has the surname Xin and comes from the Shahe River Basin.

What is the relationship between this man and Xin Haiping, the later founding emperor of the country?

The Xin family of Shahe, well, is worth exploring.

Fortunately, the Shahe River Basin is not too far from Bailie. He had to write a letter to Ding Zuodong and send someone over to collect some information.

The drizzle came again, playing on the roof tiles and the ground like a peaceful lullaby.

He Lingchuan thought a lot until Dong Rui came wearing a straw raincoat.

After returning to Jucheng, Dong Rui still lived a reclusive life. He would come every few days to ask for materials, and then leave after getting them.

After getting so many treasures from the underground palace of Zuo Yu, he was like a kid receiving a new toy during the Chinese New Year. He was completely absorbed in them and didn't even bother to give He Lingchuan a glance.

"Hey." He Lingchuan scolded with a smile, "Is this your attitude towards your sponsor?"

I provided him with food, water, and experiments, and the money I spent was like being thrown into a bottomless pit without even a sound. Now, Mr. Dong still dares to treat his financial sponsor like this?
Dong Rui then looked up at him and rubbed his eyelids: "Busy, tell me what you want to say!"

Qu Yu was also an experimental maniac. Although he destroyed all his research materials before his death, who was Dong Rui? I could always understand something from the few words he left behind, and I also got a lot of inspiration from the clues found in the bone burial ground in the underground palace.

If you have inspiration, then you can get busy, right?

There were no strangers around, so He Lingchuan asked him, "Do you have any idea about what Qu Yu has made?"

"How can it be so fast?" Dong Rui sighed, "He walked farther than me, much farther."

Apart from anything else, Qu Yu knew more about the demons than he did. He had killed and dissected them with his own hands, and maybe even transformed them. The value of living research was too great. Unlike him, who could only play with corpses and bones.

He Lingchuan said sternly: "Let me warn you first, don't even touch the direction he's researching!"

"Why..." Dong Rui was stunned, but immediately reacted, "Oh, I see."

Qu Yu's research attracted the demon, which shows how valuable it is. Dong Rui is just a wanted criminal who is not on the list. If he repeats Qu Yu's mistake and is discovered by the demon, wouldn't the Yangshan Islands be in great disaster?

He Lingchuan knew this guy's character very well, and he was determined to make him give up: "If you dare to touch it, I will no longer have funding and I will take back Alfalfa Island."

"Don't worry, I won't research in that direction anymore." Dong Rui waved his hand unhappily, "I always keep my word. Don't you trust me?"

"Remember, if anything goes wrong, I can't protect you!"

Dong Rui said angrily: "I don't need you to tell me that?"

He Lingchuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "In your opinion, how will the demon return to the human world?"
