Better to live forever [Rebirth]

In the endless deep sea, no one would have expected that there would be a submerged sandbar hidden under this sea area.

According to the helm of the Ning family, who has rich experience in sailing at sea, this sandbar was originally a small island near Zhuya Island, but it was submerged and slowly sank into the water before disappearing at sea.

The Ning family, who are excellent in water, went into the water several times to explore, and finally dug out a piece of iron chain in the sandbar.

The few people couldn't see the clue, but the helm who knew the sea best exclaimed, "Patriarch, this seems to be the prison chain for the sea burial coffin."

Many people who live by the sea have deep faith in the sea, and are willing to return to the Sea God's embrace after death.Therefore, sea burials are not uncommon in the Guangzhou generation.And in order to prevent the coffin from being washed away in the sea, several layers of iron chains will be carefully circled before the coffin enters the water. If this piece of iron chain is used for this purpose, it is reasonable to appear here.

At this time, another person emerged from the sea, and the person reported: "Patriarch, this small island is around 3000 meters in size. Algae fish live on the island, but there is a stone tablet in the center of the island. Subordinates can’t see what’s written on it underwater.”

This person is the best at water in the group, so after letting him rest for a while, Ning Heng asked him to lead a few people to see if they could lift the stele up.

Several people tried together for several times but couldn't shake the stele, and couldn't rub it in the water. Finally, Zhu Dingbei thought of a way to ask them to weave the words with seaweed to see if they could rub the words on the stele.

This method really worked. Although the algae were already deformed when they were sent up, after being reset and placed according to the traces of weaving, the writing on the stone tablet was restored in front of everyone.

No one expected that it would be such a sentence that made them dumbfounded.

——Qin Zhao came here for a visit.

This sentence is no stranger to the Ning family!

Qin is the taboo name of Emperor Taizu.

Zhao is the name of the Empress Dowager Zhao.

Back then, the Empress Dowager Zhao and the Emperor Taizu would leave such words every time they visited a landscape, but before that, the Empress Dowager Zhao had carved them on the trees or on the ground casually, but this time it took so much effort to engrave them on the stone tablet.

This also made Ning Heng more sure that he did not look for the wrong place.

Zhu Dingbei was surprised after seeing it.

Ning Heng, who was always paying attention to him, didn't miss this expression, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Dingbei hesitated for a while, but still said: "This Zhao character seems to be written by the great grandfather himself."

Ning Heng raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the word Zhao. Even though the soft seaweed restored the words on the stone tablet, the engraving on the edge of the pen was impossible to see. He didn't know where Zhu Dingbei saw it, but he Believe in the other party's eyesight.Ning Heng also knew his photographic memory very well. Occasionally, the handwriting of Empress Dowager Zhao and Emperor Taizu would appear in some of the Ning family's collections, so it would not be surprising if Zhu Dingbei recognized anything.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Zhu Dingbei explained: "This Zhao character is missing a stroke. You see, the spoken word becomes 匚, and the Taizu Emperor's handwriting seems to be missing a stroke when writing the Zhao character. It should not be wrong."

Ning Heng also knew about the habit of Emperor Taizu, but before, he only thought that Emperor Taizu would subtract a sum to avoid the taboo of Empress Dowager Zhao when annotating, but in Zhu Dingbei's view, it seemed like a certain kind of... boudoir fun .

The person who extended the character recalled it, and confirmed that he had touched the Zhao character with his hand, and it was indeed missing.

Ning Heng thought about it and felt that it was possible. After all, the Empress Dowager Zhao did what she wanted, and she didn't deliberately find someone to set up a monument just to write these words, so he nodded to Zhu Dingbei, confirming what they saw in each other's eyes. think.

Can't go wrong.

They thought in unison.

When sending people to investigate the island in the middle of the sea again, seeing Zhu Dingbei standing up and looking at the sea ready to try, Ning Heng quickly pulled him back and gave Uncle Ning a wink.The latter went to the kitchen to bring up the delicious food prepared early in the morning, trying to distract him.It's a pity that Zhu Dingbei is neither the gluttonous Lou Er Shao, nor the accommodating Jia Shixi, and he still leans over the railing to see what's going on in the water.

The search on the first day was fruitless. On the second day, the Ning family took the iron catalpa into the water and dug holes on the small island under the sea. After three days of groping, they finally found a sealed box.

When the box was brought up, it was full of mud. After washing it, it was discovered that it was an extremely precious jade box, and there was no trace of sealing.

But this small mechanism is not difficult for Ning Heng.

In the letter left by the Empress Dowager Zhao, there is a similar method of opening the sealed box.

The Ning family carefully presented the jade box to Ning Heng. They were worried about what would happen to the box when it was opened, and wanted to protect it, but Ning Heng waved them away, leaving him and Zhu Dingbei alone.

After opening it successfully, there was another sheepskin roll inside.

There are five volumes in full, on which are written place names everywhere, as well as weird symbols that Zhu Dingbei doesn't recognize.

He couldn't see why, and was worried that these things, like the tattered parchment scrolls that had been obtained through all kinds of hardships, would be another big puzzle waiting for them to solve, when Ning Heng showed a dazed expression.

He hurriedly approached Ning Heng, Ning Heng put down the parchment, and said to Zhu Dingbei in a very low voice: "The gold and silver in the world are all in it."

"Ok?"

Zhu Dingbei was at a loss.

Ning Heng shook out a roll of parchment, pointed to a place marked with a △ shape, and said: "This mountain has a gold mine." He pointed to another place marked with a ○ and said, "Here, there is a mine."

The world doesn't know what these two shapes are, but the Patriarch of the Ning family was the first to recognize these two patterns since he knew how to read and write!

One gold, one silver.

Zhu Dingbei's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled the parchment scroll to look carefully, and saw that every scroll was covered with △ and ○ that he saw for the first time!

God, this - how many mountains of gold and silver are waiting for them!

He originally thought that the so-called treasure was a mountain of gold.I never thought it would be so!

The gold and silver in the world are all in it.

All in it!

This is not a lie at all!

what does this mean?

It was the not-so-abundant gold mine that he and Ning Heng worked together to open up. He only got three points of it, but it was enough to maintain his secret actions over the years and still have a lot of surplus.

Then, it is self-evident what the thousands of gold and silver mountains represent.

After the excitement roared in his heart, the expression on Zhu Dingbei's face froze again.

No wonder.He thought to himself, no wonder the old emperor of the previous life had such confidence to uproot the entire Zhu family.With such a generous amount of money that Dajing's generations can't squander, what can he not do?He can be almost fearless, because he can afford the loss, can withstand the turmoil after the Zhu family's extermination, and has enough capital to restore people's hearts and resist foreign humiliation.

"Longevity?"

Ning Heng looked at him worriedly, not understanding why he was half happy but lost his interest.

Zhu Dingbei repeated the movement of swallowing several times, and finally stabilized his emotions. Then he looked at Ning Heng and said, "Let's go back and let someone go and check these places to see if there is really gold and silver."

He was quite calm, but what Ning Heng said later made it impossible to hide the smile on his face.

"The two places I pointed out to you just now have been excavated by the Ning family a few years ago. It is true."

Ning Heng said.

Zhu Dingbei deformed the sheepskin roll in ecstasy, and after a while he calmed down and said: "This matter must be concealed, and His Majesty must not let it know."

He didn't know how the Empress Taizu managed to discover so many gold and silver mountains in the territory of the Great Jing Kingdom.But one thing is beyond doubt, if the emperor knows that these treasures are in their hands, he will probably do whatever it takes to make the Zhu family and the Ning family disappear from the world. If the emperor doesn't talk about the Zhu family, he probably doesn't even care about the Ning family.These parchment scrolls, even if there is only one scroll, are enough to shake the existence of the royal family's rule. Even the reincarnation of the faint king can't tolerate the people who hold the military power to have countless treasuries in their hands.

Otherwise, the lord of the world will have a bad reputation.

Ning Heng touched his face.Seeing his frown, Zhu Dingbei raised his hand to wipe his face, and then smiled wryly.

He didn't realize that cold sweat rolled down his forehead.It's not that he hasn't seen the big scene, but that the surprise was too shocking, which made him suddenly understand the root cause of the destruction of the Zhu family in his previous life, and made him change his face under the pressure of surprise and anger.

Even the Li family who framed the Zhu family was just a pawn of Emperor Zhenyuan in that accident.

Those who murdered the Zhu family and replaced them, even if they really took every step to change the Sima royal family and put the Li surname on them, they would not be the emperor's opponents in the end.

Because, he already has nothing to fear.

The word money sounds vulgar, and it is not worth mentioning in front of the majestic imperial power.

But if such a huge wealth is in the hands of the emperor, then the meaning will be completely different.

Ning Heng only thought that he was frightened, so why didn't he be frightened so that his palms broke out in cold sweat?The sum of all the properties of the Ning family is at most the value of two of the parchment scrolls - which also includes all the properties and connections of the Ning family.

He also thought of it at the first time, if His Majesty the Emperor were to find this place and get these parchment scrolls.

Then, the meaning of the Ning family to Dajing and the royal family will no longer exist.

He still deeply remembers the fire that nearly killed him in the palace when he was five years old.Even though he was young at the time, he knew exactly who was doing it to him.It was at that time that he began to understand the weight and responsibility of the four words, Patriarch of the Ning family.

The people are the soil, the king is the sacred tree, and Ning is the root.

If the Shenmu grows a new root system that can allow him to spread its branches and leaves, it will be time for the Ning family to be cut off.

Zhu Dingbei pinched his face and said: "Don't be afraid, this is a secret that only the two of us know, and there will be no third person in the world. I swear."

Of course Ning Heng is smart enough to understand that these parchment scrolls are not only gold and silver mountains, but also reminders.And he is a pure 17-year-old boy, even if he is precocious, he cannot bear such an impact alone.Therefore, Zhu Dingbei spoke to appease.

Ning Heng shook his head with a smile, took off his hand and held it in the slightly cool palm, and said in a low voice: "I was thinking...these parchments are missing one roll."

"Ok?"

Zhu Dingbei's eyebrows twitched.

Ning Heng pointed to the sheepskin scrolls and said, "These sheepskin scrolls all have serial numbers, but here, one is missing."

Zhu Dingbei looked at it and found that what he said was indeed true. After being shocked, he suddenly raised his head and said: "You mean, it is in the hands of the Li family?!"
