Origin

Wan Shanhong did not answer, but looked at Wu Zhongyuan with questioning eyes.

"Do you know Dai Niang?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"But that black-ringed snake that no one can control?" Wan Shanhong looked disgusted.

"That's it," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "The Hunyuan Cauldron is probably sealed in Minshan where this person is."

"Minshan?" Wanshan frowned.

"Yes, have you ever been to Minshan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wan Shanhong shook his head and said, "That is a place where filth and evil are hidden. Everyone in the Southern Wilderness avoids it. Who would go there?"

"There is a 90% chance that the Hunyuan Cauldron is hidden there," Wu Zhongyuan finished, and without waiting for Wan Shanhong to ask, he took the initiative to explain, "There are three towering trees on the top of Minshan Mountain, a pine tree, a cypress tree, and There is a willow tree. These three trees are all of the Yin genus. They usually grow around tombs with heavy Yin energy. However, these three trees rarely grow together. At that time, I suspected that there was a huge ancient tomb hidden under the Minshan Mountain. I just wanted to I went elsewhere to raise food and fodder for the Bear Clan, but I didn’t have time to investigate further.”

"Is it true that there are rumors that you were attacked in Minshan?" Wan Shanhong asked with a wicked smile.

Seeing the evil smile on Wan Shanhong's face, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly explained, "It's true, but this matter has nothing to do with me. It was Thirteenth Lang of the Fox clan who had an affair with Dai Niang. Later, another adulterer stole his concubine, so Ten Sanlang then begged me to stand up for him."

"Are you involved in this kind of thing?" Wan Shanhong looked disgusted.

"Hey, it's hard to explain in words," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly, "The former leader of the Bear clan, Wu Wu Ao, rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. He went on a military rampage and destroyed his country. As a result, the Bear clan ran out of food and food. People were about to starve to death. I had no choice but to collect rice everywhere. The Fox clan has a hundred days of rice and a surplus of food stored..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Wan Shanhong waved his hand to interrupt him. She knew Wu Zhongyuan's situation at that time, and the friendship between the two was also established at that time.

Wan Shanhong knew that he was short of food, so he generously gave him 200,000 kilograms of rice to help him tide over the difficulties.

"Do you suspect that the three ancient trees on the top of Minshan Mountain were generated by the yin energy induced by the three cauldrons of the Hunyuan Cauldron?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yesterday on the way to Leprongling Ridge, you also said that although the Hunyuan Cauldron can balance yin and yang, it itself is a yin and resentment-generating thing. It is reasonable to breed yin wood."

"It's not unreasonable, but is it a bit arbitrary to conclude that this is the place where the Hunyuan Cauldron is buried based on just three ancient trees?" Wan Shanhong said.

"That's not all," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "There are other reasons. The first is the age of the three trees. Pines and cypresses are fine. Although those that have grown for thousands of years are rare, they are not unheard of. However, the lifespan of willows is not long. Finally, the lifespan of willows is not long. It cannot grow more than two hundred years. I have a way to determine how many years the willow tree has grown. If it exceeds the life limit of the willow tree and grows for thousands of years, then there must be something wrong."

Without waiting for Wan Shanhong to answer, Wu Zhongyuan added, "There is miasma lingering around Minshan. At first I thought that these miasmas were caused by Dai Niang, but later I discovered that those miasmas were not caused by Dai Niang, but were caused by the natural gas of Minshan Mountain." However, there are no conditions for miasma to form around Minshan. It can be seen that these miasmas are probably caused by the volatilization of Yin Qi and medicinal gas from the Hunyuan Cauldron buried underground for thousands of years. Dai Niang only slightly changed and added use."

"How do you know that the miasma there was not caused by Dai Niang?" Wan Shanhong asked.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "Because I have been there after Dai Niang left Minshan. Dai Niang has been gone for many days, but the miasma is still there."

"What are you doing there?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"It's a long story. She secretly followed two Niu clan warriors there that day," Wu Zhongyuan said. "Diniang had an affair with Huang Sheng, a remnant of the demon clan. The two went to seduce Jiang Zheng, the former leader of the Niu clan. Jiang Zheng I gave the rubbings of the Xuanwen on the gold slips hidden in the psychic weapon to the two of them. Later, Dai Niang and Huang Sheng set up an ambush from Minshan to plot against me, but I killed them. Jiang Zheng was worried that I would find the rubbings of the Xuanwen on the gold slips. , so they sent two warriors of the Ox tribe, a man and a woman, to Minshan to try to find and destroy it."

Wan Shanhong nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Wu Zhongyuan continued, "Diniang's body is a black-ringed snake, and Huang Youdao of the snake clan is also a venomous snake. Huang Youdao is not afraid of poisonous miasma and has the possibility of entering Minshan. This person is in cahoots with Hu Laosan and may sneak into Minshan secretly. Shan, with the help of Leprongling's "Debit Notes", found the robbery cave and sneaked underground to take away Qi-tonifying pills, bronze medals and other items."

"It is indeed possible, but it still feels a little bit off." Wan Shanhong shook his head and said. Evidence can be divided into soft and hard. What Wu Zhongyuan said is soft evidence. To put it bluntly, the evidence is never sufficient.

"There is also the water of immortality," Wu Zhongyuan said. "The day the Yin-Yang sword was born, it sensed the heaven and earth, and strange phenomena appeared. A group of strange masters, including Dai Niang, came to try to snatch the Yin-Yang sword. At that time, Dai Niang once mentioned Immortality Water, as long as I hand over the Yin-Yang Sword, it will give me the Immortality Water to help me extend my life. You heard what Zhou Qin just said. Huang Youdao was selling the Immortality Water when he last appeared. There are two possibilities for this matter , one is that Dai Niang and Huang Youdao had an affair, and the longevity water held by Huang Youdao was given to him by Dai Niang, but this possibility is extremely small, because Dai Niang's spiritual energy cultivation level is very high, not only did Dai Niang die Kefu is still a villain who tends to follow the crowd, so he should look down on Huang Youdao. Another possibility is that the longevity water held by Huang Youdao was stolen, which means that Huang Youdao stole the longevity water from Dai Niang when she was not in the mountain. , since then Huang Youdao has not appeared again, this person has probably been killed, and the person who killed him may be Dai Niang, or someone else who covets the longevity water."

Wan Shanhong nodded.

Seeing that Wan Shanhong still had doubts on his face, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "It's been too long. It's impossible for us to find very precise clues. If we follow the pictures and follow the clues to find the Hunyuan Cauldron, we can only sift through small and trivial clues and use these clues." Mutual support shows that Huang Youdao is the key to this matter. First, this person, like Dai Niang, is a venomous snake transformed into a human being. Second, this person is colluding with Hu Laosan, who sells Hunyuan Cauldron alchemy bronze medals. Third, this person once sold The Qi-tonifying elixir refined from the Everlasting Water and the Hunyuan Cauldron. These three things are connected together, and the suspicion points directly to the Min Mountain where Dai Niang lived before, and there happened to be three huge ancient Yin trees on the top of the Min Mountain. "

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wan Shanhong was convinced. Just as Wu Zhongyuan said, when people in the world are looking for something or judging something, they can often only follow the clues and find the result based on clues. Wu Zhongyuan did the opposite, using many tiny clues to trace the truth. Doing so was several times more difficult than sticking to the main line and required extreme sobriety and strong logical analysis capabilities.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "When I go to Minshan this time, I only need to check the age of the three ancient trees to determine whether there is a Hunyuan Cauldron sealed there. If the annual rings of the three ancient trees are exactly the same, it means that the Hunyuan Cauldron is sealed there." The tripod is hidden there. To take a step back, even if the ages of the three ancient trees are different, as long as the age of the willow tree exceeds the life limit of the willow tree, it can also mean that this tree was born in response to the Yin Qi of the Hunyuan tripod, and it can also It proves that the Hunyuan Cauldron is hidden there."

"He is as careful as his hair and extremely smart." Wan Shanhong said with a smile.

After being praised by Wan Shanhong, Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, "All these are just my inferences, and they may not be correct. Anyway, let's go to Minshan first. We have to go southwest anyway. If The Hunyuan Cauldron is not in Minshan, so we won’t take a detour when heading to the Snake Clan.”

At this time, it was already noon. Because they were eager to rush to Minshan, the two of them did not have lunch from Taiping Village. In fact, it was not just to rush to Minshan as soon as possible. Wu Zhongyuan also had other considerations in rushing to leave. Dongyun Ju He is not a good person. He doesn’t want to get too close to Dongyunju. If he receives Dongyunju’s warm hospitality and drinks and dines together, he will be embarrassed to punish Dongyunju if he does bad things in the future. .

Worried that Wan Shanhong would be hungry, Wu Zhongyuan took out a peach from his pocket and handed it to her. This was something he brought from Xinyue Island.

It was early spring, and there were no peaches in either the south or the north. Wan Shanhong was surprised to see the peaches. After tasting them, he found them sweet and delicious, so he asked Wu Zhongyuan where they got them.

Wu Zhongyuan had sworn before the old man in black died that he would never disclose the situation of Xinyue Island and Xinyue Fox to anyone, and he did not want to lie to deceive Wan Shanhong, so he simply shook his head with a evil smile, "I won't tell you. .”

Women can still accept this method. No one likes to be deceived. Lying and deceiving are worse than keeping silent.

Wan Shanhong ate the peach but was still unsatisfied and asked again, "Are there any more?"

So Wu Zhongyuan gave her another one, which was picked from another tree and was an even rarer nectarine.

At this time, there were no nectarines in the Central Plains. Wan Shanhong was surprised when she saw hairless peaches for the first time. After tasting them, she became even more surprised. She did not know that Wu Zhongyuan had sworn not to reveal the situation on Yanyun Island, so she asked curiously, but Wu Zhongyuan was rambling here and there, looking around and talking about him, but he just didn't say anything.

Once she became familiar with Wu Zhongyuan, Wan Shanhong had less scruples. She insisted on seeing what kind of strange fruits Wu Zhongyuan had in his pocket. One of them insisted on seeing it, but the other wouldn't let them see it. They started fighting over each other and went to the west in a noisy manner.

Taiping Village is located due east, while Minshan Mountain is in the southwest, one to the east and one to the west. It took nearly two hours of flying to reach the end of the land. Two hours was enough to cross the Central Plains from north to south, which shows how big the southern wilderness is.

Wan Shanhong had a way to avoid the miasma, but Wu Zhongyuan did not lead her through the miasma. Instead, he used the technique to control the wind and rain.

The same spell, with different spiritual energy cultivations, has different powers. After a while, the strong wind blew away all the thick miasma lingering over Minshan Mountain.

Once the miasma was gone, the situation in Minshan was fully visible. Because there was a fierce battle here last year, the entire Minshan was in a mess.

"Why did those three ancient trees fall?" Wan Shanhong looked down.

"We were affected during the melee." Wu Zhongyuan floated down.

Wan Shanhong followed.

The two of them landed on the top of the mountain and took a closer look at the three fallen trees. The three big trees were similar in thickness, about two arms in size.

The three big trees were all damaged to varying degrees. Wan Shanhong asked casually, "It won't affect the inspection, right?"

"It doesn't affect it." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, then pulled out the Yin Yang sword and extended his spiritual energy to slash and flatten the stumps of the three big trees.

After the stubble was flattened, the growth rings appeared. The growth rings on the three tree stumps were densely packed, like water waves outside, with more than thousands of them.

"How?" Wan Shanhong asked. At this time, people still didn't know how to judge the growth time of trees through annual rings.

"Right here..."
