After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 546 Secret report from many years ago
Even if there seems to be no one else around, it is better to be cautious.He has already discovered that Bai Ziqi pays attention to him, although the reason is not clear.

"!! How can you be sure..." The mirror was surprised, and it took a few breaths before he realized, "Oh, when did you hit him?" It stayed on He Lingchuan the whole time, why didn't it even notice it?
This master, it can't keep up more and more.

"last night."

After He Lingchuan gave this little reminder, he didn't start anymore.

He and Bai Ziqi arrested the fugitive last night, and Cheng Yu was captured by him.

At that time, Cheng Yu was injured by the lamp spirit and fell into a coma. He Lingchuan held him in his hands, but he actually faced two choices:

Use the mirror to suck his soul, or use the nightmare.

It is the easiest way to use the soul-absorbing mirror, but it is easy to be suspected by Bai Ziqi afterwards. After all, the last person who came into contact with Cheng Yu was He Lingchuan.

Sending Nightmare is Ye Changmengduo, after all Nightmare still has to sneak into Cheng Yu's dreamland and design traps to kill him.However, the advantage is that Cheng Yu can still wake up after being brought back to Baisha, and say a few words——

Yes, this is He Lingchuan's request to Nightmare.

The nightmare only attacked Cheng Yu after he fell into a coma for the second time, so Bai Ziqi would naturally recalculate the time when he was attacked, and He Lingchuan would be cleared of the suspicion.

So he decided on the latter plan almost in an instant, and then wiped Cheng Yu's nose with the Juluo branch loaded with nightmares.

At that time, Cheng Yu was already in a coma, and it was very convenient for Mengmai to fall asleep.

Now it seems that this risky move was right again.

After Bai Ziqi captured Cheng Yu and returned him, he set up ever-burning lights around him, and any evil spirits approaching would trigger an alarm.

But the nightmare was lurking in Cheng Yu's dream one step earlier, so how could he be alarmed?
Bai Ziqi just arrived in Baishazhen yesterday, so he gave He Lingchuan a blow.

But he didn't know that he was also tricked by He Lingchuan.

After He Lingchuan finished playing the song, Jiao Yu, the tiger, ran over with a cloth bag in his mouth, raised his head and said to him: "The prince has something to give you."

He Lingchuan lifted his spirits and jumped down to take the cloth bag: "Thank you."

Jiao Yu said: "The crown prince said that this is a secret. I will withdraw first."

He didn't dare to look at it either.

He Lingchuan patted the tiger's head, turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, put another barrier, and then opened the cloth bag.

"Oh, finally got it!" The mirror whistled.He Lingchuan didn't know how it made this sound.

Inside the cloth bag was a box, and when it was opened again, there was a stack of letters inside.

This is the last thing Fushan Yue sent as promised:
A letter recording the pattern of the black flood dragon.

He Lingchuan helped him catch Cen Boqing, and also rewarded Zhong Sunmou's death as a gift. He overfulfilled the task entrusted by Fu Shanyue and deserved all the rewards.

These books are all in the royal study of the Lord Chiyan, and others would have a narrow escape if they want to go in, let alone slowly collect related objects.After Fu Shanyue was promoted to the crown prince, he had just obtained the right to enter and exit the imperial study.

He Lingchuan looked at the things in hand, and smiled wryly: "Stingy, I won't let me take any advantage."

There are more than a dozen sheets of paper here, all with different background colors and styles, except for a few sheets of letter paper, some of which are even torn from different books.

Of course He Lingchuan wanted to read the whole book, but Fu Shanyue only tore off the recorded part with the black dragon pattern, probably for the sake of confidentiality.

After all, these are all things taken out of Chiyan King's imperial study, which has its secrets.

On the top is a silk book, opened like a scroll, long.Because of the special refining process, the silk surface is just a little old, and there is no moth or dust.

It was the first time that He Lingchuan saw so many black dragon patterns gathered together.

He counted at random, and there were as many as eighteen.

Every pattern is hand-painted by the artist, and every stroke has charm, even the eyes of the black dragon are painted vividly.

On the side of each black dragon pattern, there is the address and period of painting.

The earliest can be traced back to 100 years ago, the Yangxing tribe in the Shahe River Basin.

Where is the Shahe River Basin?He Lingchuan thought for a long time and gave up.

Write down the place name first, and look it up later.

He also has no impression of the next few addresses, and they are all from a long time ago.

Then, he saw Yuan Guo's black dragon pattern, two in total.

After that, He Lingchuan was taken aback again, because the words "Panlong City" came into view!

The last five patterns on this silk scroll are all from Panlong City.

More importantly, the artist also specially marked that these five patterns are all drawn from the same black dragon emblem in Panlong City, but in different periods.

He Lingchuan made a quick calculation. These five patterns were drawn and painted in the third year, 11th year, 17th year, 24th year, and... 31st year of the Panlong calendar respectively!
Panlong City has existed for 32 years, so the fragments selected by the artist almost run through the entire Panlong era.

It's like a microcosm of an era.

Why would he do this?
He Lingchuan directly dragged the silk script to the end to see the signature.

The artist's name is Song Wei, and he calls himself Weishan Zhenren.

The first ten designs on the silk version, which this person claims to be from, were obtained from ancient books or from relics. Only the black flood dragon patterns of Yuan Kingdom and Panlong City were surveyed and mapped by him on the spot when the city was still there and the people lived in peace, and there was almost no error.

That is to say, he himself has been to Yuan Country and Panlong City successively, and later gathered the patterns at hand to make this silk book.

In addition to the statue of the black flood dragon beside the south gate of Panlong City, He Lingchuan indeed also saw patterns of black flood dragons in the streets and alleys.The neighbor’s kid, Xiaopang, has graffitied on the wall several times with the content of black dragons, but the painter is not good, so the dragon’s head is painted as a dog’s head.

He Lingchuan carefully observed the five patterns of Panlong City, and at first glance they were all the same——

Nonsense, the painting is the same emblem.

However, Song Wei is not so boring. He has painted five identical patterns for more than 30 years.

He Lingchuan calmed down to see that the five dragon heads were still slightly different.

The 11th year of the Panlong calendar has slightly longer horns and two more beards than the [-]rd year of the Panlong calendar.

It was just such a small change, He Lingchuan almost found it with a magnifying glass.

The pattern changes in the 24th year of the Panlong calendar are obvious. The dragon head looks a size bigger than before, with a longer face, a more powerful beard, and more prominent eyebrow protrusions.

Most importantly, the sharp horns on its head started to split!

All the black dragon patterns that He Lingchuan had seen before, including the ones on this silk book, including the ones he saw with his own eyes in Panlong City and Yuanguo, had two bare horns on his forehead!

Branches are like antlers.

Or rather, like a dragon.

He Lingchuan took a light breath and looked at the last pattern.

But to his disappointment, the dragon's head did not evolve further, but went backwards, and the corners of the branches became sharp again, and the beard lost a few strands.

Probably similar to the pattern of the 11th year of the Panlong calendar.

In the past 20 years, a loneliness has evolved, and it has changed back in the end.

He Lingchuan went to look at Yuan Guo's two black dragon patterns.

The interval between these two patterns is not long, that is, half a year or two years.

After King Yuan took over the abdication of the previous Demon King, Yuan Kingdom only existed for four years, of which three years were spent in wars.During the war, border management was very strict, and it was not easy for Song Wei to squeeze into Yuan Country, and Yuan Country was probably not as friendly to outsiders as Panlong City, so he only drew two paintings.

These two patterns are also slightly different, and the dragon head in the second one has grown compared to the first one.

This is very interesting, especially the five patterns of Panlong City, which are like time-lapse photography, listing the changes of the same dragon head imprint in different periods.

What is the use of the black dragon pattern, and why does it change?

He Lingchuan, like Song Wei, does not believe that this change is artificially brought about, but should be a change in the pattern itself.

In Yuanguo, Panlong City, and even earlier historical sites, what caused the "growth" of Jiaoshou?

Song Wei gave his own speculation.

This mark may be a totem, used to gather the faith of the city people, just like the ubiquitous temples of Beja.

The growth of the dragon head reflects whether people are religious to it.

Or maybe, this dragon head is the imprint of a secret immortal organization.With it, the city can get endless support from the immortals.Because, these places where the dragon head imprint has existed are relatively rich, as if they have been blessed in the dark.

bless?He Lingchuan thought about it.

He doesn't know the situation of Yuanguo back then, but the Chipa Plateau, which is backed by Panlong City, is indeed very rich, and has everything he wants, from food, minerals, wood to medicine, fur, and fish, otherwise he would not be able to support Panlong. Military and civilian for so many years.

Beja repeatedly tricked it secretly, but failed.

Is it because the dragon head imprint only appears in fertile lands, or is it that the local area is rich because of the dragon head imprint?

Which is the cause and which is the effect?
It's hard to say.

Seeing that Song Wei had no conclusions, he was a little disappointed, and then looked through other materials.

Inside are all kinds of letters, book pages, and manuscripts. Usually the paper pages are yellowed, brittle, and powdery, so you must be very careful when you read them.

They're all old, old ones.

He Lingchuan frowned.Fu Shanyue can only find these old objects, which shows that there is no new progress in the research on the black flood dragon.

There is even a saying that is convincing, that the dragon head may have been left by some immortal sect, and used it as a channel for immortals to communicate with mortals, directing them to seek to conquer the world.

He Lingchuan also found a battle report sent back from the inside of Yuan Country by a spy, which provided a lot of information about Qianxing City of Yuan Country, including what happened in the city recently, what orders were issued by the royal court, the salary and price levels in the city, etc. , It’s all about one or two sentences, very concise.

It actually mentioned the black flood dragon pattern, saying that there was a black flood dragon pattern opposite the spy's residence, and he observed it all day long, but he never saw the mark glow or produce any power.

But just once, the horse pulling goods on the street lost control, and the horse and the cart crashed into the wall.

The wall is not thick, it is reasonable to say that it will collide with each other.However, the horse bumped into the mark of the black flood dragon, his tendons were broken, and the cart fell apart, but the black flood dragon mark was still intact.

Only then did the spies realize that there was an extremely secret barrier outside the imprint.
