Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion listened to Dong Xiao tell a story that happened almost a hundred years ago.
When his great-grandfather was still young, he had a very bizarre experience, and that special experience directly led to the tragedy of the dragon and phoenix destroying the city that has continued to occur in the past hundred years.
Dong Xiao's great-grandfather was Dong Qi, and he was born in a very poor village on the northwest border.
The village is called Dong Village, and the people in the village have almost no other source except hunting and reselling some timber, and the harvest is dry all year round, and the life is very hard.
When Dong Qi was in his twenties, he ganged up with several other young people in the village who were about the same age, and they robbed the tomb to rob the godsRead the full text.
At first, they just stole graves and dug up graves, found the ancestral graves of some large families, and dug up a few gold, silver and jade artifacts to accompany the burial to supplement the village.
But gradually, as everyone became more and more experienced, and they spent more and more time on the rivers and lakes, they began to yearn for some large tombs.
In the village next to Dong Qi, there is a Chen Village, which is quite close to Dong Village, and life is as poor as it gets.
The two villages are in trouble because of land disputes and some disputes, and they hate each other for a long time.
There was a young man about the same age as Dong Qi in Chen Village, named Chen Mao, who also formed a team with a dozen people in the village and began to rob tombs.
Although Dong Qi is greedy for money, his human nature is not too bad, he only steals the tombs of the dead and does not harm the living.
But Chen Mao is more ferocious, not only robbing tombs, but also killing people and goods.
After a few years, Chen Mao's men and horses were obviously stronger than Dong Qi's men, and they had more money.
That year, when Dong Qi was about thirty years old, he met an old man from the Western Regions.
The old man told him a legend that in the desert around the Western Regions, there was an ancient castle sunk in the ground.
The castle was originally called Dragon and Phoenix City, and the city lord was a man and a woman, one was a fire dragon and the other was a fire phoenix.
The origin of these two people is unknown, it is said that they are the reincarnation of the fire demon, and they have a lot of wealth, and after the death of the two people, they left behind empty cities and full of treasures.
Dong Qi then began to investigate in many ways, and after making preparations for a whole year, he took his people and ran to the Western Desert to find this ancient city.
And the traitor arranged by Chen Mao in Dong Village told Chen Mao the news.
So Chen Mao took people and secretly followed Dong Qi.
Dong Qi wasted all his strength, and really found the ancient city, and after entering the castle, he found that there were many mechanisms, but there were indeed many treasures.
Dong Qi walked around the castle and found that the situation seemed to be not good, there were many strange murals in the ancient city, most of them were pictures of phoenixes and dragons breathing fire and burning people, and the castle was full of strange fire dragons and fire phoenix totems.
So Dong Qi told his subordinates to take less things and leave quickly.
But immediately after them, Chen Mao's men arrived.
Chen Mao had a large number of people, and when they saw that the ancient city was a treasure trove at all, they were so excited that they almost pried away the gold bricks on the ground.
Dong Qi and Chen Mao met in the ancient city.
Chen Mao wanted to monopolize the secret of the castle and this ancient city, so he ordered his subordinates to kill Dong Qi and kill them.
As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the ancient city.
Later, Dong Qi noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Chen Mao's people, and as they took more and more gold and silver treasures, Chen Mao's men became red-eyed, greedy, and ferocious.
Dong Qi asked his subordinates to throw away the things in their hands, the things in this ancient castle are not clean, whether there is medicine or resentment, in short, the more people take it, the more abnormal it is.
Sure enough, the people on Chen Mao's side began to lose their minds and kill each other.
Dong Qi took advantage of the opportunity to escape with his subordinates, and in the process of going out, I don't know who accidentally touched the mechanism, and those dragon and phoenix totems actually began to breathe fire At this moment, the entire castle burst into flames.
Originally, the castle was made of gold, and the surface of the gold was covered with a layer of sediment, which I don't know if it was mixed with medicine, which was extremely flammable and inextinguishable.
Dong Qi and his subordinates didn't take the treasure and ran fast, but Chen Mao and the others took too many things, ran slowly, and many people were burned to death.
Dong Qi and his subordinates found that the entire castle began to be buried by mud and sand, and at the last moment of coming out, Dong Qi's leg was grabbed out by Chen Mao.
At this time, Chen Mao was burned all over his body, and his appearance was hideous, like a living ghost, his state at this time was as if he was possessed, and he grabbed Dong Qi and said that he wanted him to accompany him to bury the mandarin duck Mistake: Out of the wall princess Read the full text.
Dong Qi finally put down the jack at the gate of the city, and locked Chen Mao and his subordinates who rushed out to die with them in the ancient city that was burned to purgatory.
Eventually, the castle was buried in yellow sand and was never found again.
Dong Qi and the others escaped and saved their lives.
Although the castle has sunk, some gold bricks remain on the sand dunes, and the gold shines brightly after the dust on the surface has been burned away.
Dong Qi and others picked up the gold bricks and returned to their hometown, because they didn't want to do anything like robbing tombs anymore because they didn't die, they divided the gold bricks, and took their families to go their separate ways, and they all created a good family business.
It's just that Dong Qi and the others were seriously ill and died early at a very young age, and the legends of the fire dragon and the fire phoenix, their descendants have heard about their ancestors.
Although Dong Qi and others no longer robbed tombs, they were still very interested in the ancient city of Longfeng back then, and after years of inquiry, everyone knew the secrets of this ancient city.
It turns out that the city lord of this dragon and phoenix ancient city is really called the fire dragon and the fire phoenix, but they are two demons.
This fire dragon and fire phoenix are over 100 years old, and they have been amassing wealth all their lives, extorting villages and ancient countries in the Western Regions.

Legend has it that as long as the fire phoenix appears in a certain village, it means that the village is being targeted, and the villagers must hand over all their wealth to them, otherwise disaster will befall them.
If the fire phoenix does not get enough benefits, then the fire dragon will come to the village, and as soon as the fire dragon appears, it will definitely rain down from the sky and spew out heavenly fire that cannot be extinguished with water to burn the entire village and all the people in the village.
Back then, this couple was rampant in the Western Regions, and no one could clean them up.
This incident seems to have become a nightmare for Dong Qi and others, and they feel that they are really lucky to escape from the grave of such a pair of old demons to save their lives.
Just before Dong Qi died of illness, he suddenly heard that his original village was burned down by the fire dragon, and even the Chen Village next door was also burned down.
After many inquiries, Dong Qi learned that Chen Mao was not dead back then, not only did he not die, but he also learned the evil art of the dragon and phoenix two demons to summon the fire dragon and fire phoenix in the ancient city, and came back to take revenge.
It is said that Chen Mao once put down his words, he will not let go of all the people who trapped him in the castle back then, even if they are incognito, he will trace their whereabouts for generations, even if they die, there are still their descendants, until they are killed and burned to death by heavenly fire, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Dong Qi was very scared about this, and told his heirs about the fire dragon and the fire phoenix, so that they must be passed on from generation to generation and be careful, once they see the fire phoenix, they must flee, the appearance of the fire dragon will bring about destruction.
Dong Xiao roughly talked about the before and after, and sighed, "I have heard before that many of the people who went to the ancient city with my great-grandfather were in disaster, so they were very nervous, but what I didn't expect was that now it is really a big disaster."
After listening to this, Zhan Zhao and the others had some different opinions.
The pair of so-called dragon and phoenix old demons back then may not really be fire demons, but big liars They may have used the fake jade pendant to create dragon and phoenix monsters, thus threatening the ignorant people of the villages in the Western Regions to provide them with gold and silver treasures to build their own kingdoms.
And the reason for their success, in addition to the jade pendant, is also a very important point is the kind of soil that can be burned, that is, the soil spread on the gold bricks of the ancient city.
This kind of soil may have been dug up somewhere, or it may have been researched by two people, in short, once burned, water could not extinguish it, so the so-called "heavenly fire" was created.
The thief couple was not only greedy but also very vicious, in order to ensure that the looted gold and silver treasures would not be stolen after their death, they set up fire-breathing traps and burning earth in the underground palace, so that all those who entered the castle were burned alive.
Chen Mao may have really survived in the castle back then, he understood the secrets of the dragon and phoenix and the soil, or he may have been seriously injured for a long time before he recovered, or he was buried in the ground and crawled out with great difficulty, in short, he did come out alive in the end, mastered the deception and magic weapon of the two old demons of the dragon and phoenix, so he began the road of revenge with a glance and a fixed heart: the queen is a foxRead the full text "What a deep resentment."
Zhan Zhao sighed.
"Ugh."
Dong Xiao held his forehead and cried with a sad face, "The reason why I chose to settle in Kaifeng is because Kaifeng has a palace and Kaifeng Mansion, which is a place where heaven and earth gather and righteousness, and those demons and evil people dare not do it."
But I didn't expect the fire dragon to really appear, and I don't know if Kaifeng will be affected by me and suffer an unwarranted disaster. ” Seeing Dong Xiao blaming himself, Gongsun nodded to Zhan Zhao and the others, and should tell him the reason, so as not to let him accumulate depression and have an impact on his recovery.
So, Bao Zheng told Dong Xiao the mystery of the fire dragon and the fire phoenix, and Gongsun and Xiao Sizi also demonstrated it to him.
Dong Xiao was stunned for a long time, and finally figured it out, "It turns out that this is the case, oh, the reason why I was attacked is because those black-clothed people who assassinated me mistakenly took this fire dragon as a signal to act."
Everyone nodded.
Zhan Zhao subconsciously moved behind Bai Yutang and covered himself with him, so as not to cause Dong Xiao to get angry again for a while, saying that he was the culprit who almost killed him.
Dong Xiao saw Zhan Zhao shrinking straight behind Bai Yutang, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point at him, covering his chest, "Zhan Zhao" Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and his heart said Dong Xiao was silent for a long time and said, "I owe you a life" Zhan Zhao blinked.
Dong Xiao finally smiled, and smiled with relief, "I was really right to choose Kaifeng to settle down back then, and I really had noble people to help." ” Zhan Zhao was scared and sweated, thinking that Dong Xiao was going to scold again, and he would break off his friendship with Bai Yutang after a while.
Bai Yutang looked back, and Zhan Zhao, who was half-stretched and hidden behind him, looked like a nervous cat.
Hearing Dong Xiao mention that a man in black attacked him, Bao Zheng asked, "What are the characteristics?"
Dong Xiao thought for a while and said, "Well, I can't tell the appearance, the martial arts are strong, and I can't tell which sect it is, but they did sprinkle some powder similar to clay, and then it caught fire at one point." ” Bai Yutang seemed to have something to figure out, so he asked, "I can understand Chen Mao's hatred for wanting to kill your grandfather, but why do you want to kill all the descendants of future generations, if Chen Mao is alive, wouldn't he be more than a hundred years old and live so long?"
Dong Xiao shook his head, he didn't know.
"Do those men in black have any other requirements besides killing you?"
Zhan Zhao asked, "such as asking for something like that?"
Dong Xiao then shook his head, "No, they plotted against me without making a sound, and they were all aimed at my vital point." ” Gongsun also nodded, "Dong Xiao's heart is a little to the right, so this sword is not pierced, if it is replaced by the second one, he will have died a long time ago." ” Everyone frowned, always feeling that there might be something else hidden.
Dong Xiao said everything he knew, and everyone did not prevent him from resting, so they left his room together and went to Bao Zheng's study to continue discussing.
"Dong Qi and Dong Xiao are separated not by more than one generation, but by several generations."
Zhao Pudao, "Will there be something he doesn't know, and it is the key to this case?"
Everyone nodded, some possibility.
While chatting, a figure suddenly fell outside, almost breaking in.
Everyone looked back, and it was Nangong Jixiao Caobaai: Girl, don't escape to read the full text.
Nangong Ji rushed in and said to Gongsun, "Concubine Pang said that her stomach hurts, and she seems to be about to give birth."
"What" Gongsun didn't move, and Taishi jumped up first.
Gongsun counted the days and asked, "Does it hurt for a while?"
"Yes."
Nangong nodded.
"Oh, shouldn't there be a few more days?"
"A few days away is possible."

Gongsun stood up and said, "Hurry up."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Pu picked him up and jumped out of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Daddy, medicine box" The little fourth son ran into the house and chased him out with the medicine box, Zhanzhao picked him up and chased him.
"Oops" Pang Ji was so anxious that he jumped straight up and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang hurriedly chased after Zhanzhao, which meant that he didn't carry Master Pang with him.
"Oh, I'm dying," the Taishi was about to run out.
Fortunately, the two old men, Tianzun and Yin Hou, were more kind, and one of them carried Pang Taishi to the palace.
Lord Bao is also anxious, this is not ready, will it really be born When I entered the palace, I saw the Queen Mother beaming, standing in the courtyard, a large group of imperial doctors came, and I heard Concubine Pang crying out again and again.
Zhao Zhen was in a hurry at the door.
As soon as Zhao Pu landed with his grandson in his arms, Zhanzhao also arrived with the little fourth son carrying the medicine box, followed by Bai Yutang.
Gongsun ran in to check Concubine Pang's pulse, and ran out happily, "The midwife is about to give birth" The midwife, who had been ready for a long time, hurriedly ran in with a group of maids.
Zhao Zhen strode at the door, Concubine Pang screamed heartbreakingly, and he couldn't breathe.
"Sir, it's a few days early, will there be any danger" Zhao Zhen asked Gongsun anxiously.
Gongsun comforted him, "Don't worry, it's normal to have a few days in the morning and a few days in the evening, Concubine Pang is young and healthy, and the child's fetal position is very positive and the size is appropriate, it will be fine in a while." ” Zhao Zhen's heart fell back into his stomach, but he was still in a hurry.
Zhao Pu was waiting in the courtyard with his little fourth son in his arms, and at this time, Taishi and Master Bao also arrived.
Tianzun and Yin Hou also came to join in the fun, Tianzun seemed to be listening to the birth of a child for the first time, "Oh, it's so miserable" Yin Hou glanced at him, "What is this, my daughter Zhaozhao screamed miserably at that time." ” Zhan Zhao was curious, "Really?"
"No, you're stuck in your mother's belly and won't come out."
Yin Hou was dissatisfied.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, there is such a thing Taishi was more anxious than Zhao Zhen, but Bao Zheng comforted him, "Don't worry, you will be born in a while." ” The Queen Mother also nodded, stretched out her hand and patted Master Pang, and said mysteriously, "Master, a great auspicious omen, this child is a true dragon descending into the world, to ensure that my Great Song Dynasty wind and rain are smooth and the country is safe and peaceful."
Everyone looked at the Queen Mother's concubine curiously.
The eighth king also just arrived, and asked curiously, "Sister Huang, who have you invited?"
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled happily, "The absolute true dragon came to the world, and the mourning family saw it last night" Everyone looked at each other.
Master Pang reminded, "The Queen Mother is a girl, you know?"
"I know," the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with the girl, the girl is also a dragon species, don't look at the wind and rain last night, the mourning family saw the golden dragon flashing in the east."
The eighth prince opened his mouth wide, "Seriously" "That's not it, a lot of maids have seen it" The queen mother was proud, and the maids and women who were waiting around her nodded hurriedly, and even Nangong Ji nodded to indicate that she had indeed seen it.
The corners of the mouths of the people in Kaifeng Mansion twitched, fortunately, yesterday's jade pendant was a dragon, in case it was a pig, it was not a trouble, the golden pig came "You think, the mourning family just saw the golden dragon last night, and this baby can't wait to be born today" The queen mother smiled with a wrinkled face, "Isn't it the real dragon who came to the world?"
The people in Kaifeng Mansion are also embarrassed to tell the truth to the Queen Mother, so let her old man continue to be beautiful.
Bao Zheng patted Pang Ji, with a look of regret, how can you say that this child is a girl, if it is a son, then it is estimated that the prince will be established immediately The corners of Pang Ji's mouth twitched, and he looked at the little fourth son, which meant that he would bring the jade pendant back and use it next time Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a baby's cry in the room.
Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "Well, yes, the voice is loud." ” Everyone nodded.
After a while, the midwife came out with a baby in her arms, and the Queen Mother picked it up, and Zhao Zhen leaned over to see that it was a healthy girl Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, and hugged the princess into the house to see Concubine Pang, Concubine Pang was in good condition, except for being a little tired, everything was normal.
The Queen Mother made a decree and the whole country celebrated for three days, this princess is a golden dragon, no worse than a prince, a good omen.
Everyone congratulated Master Pang, not to mention, this girl's luck is not bad, she was born with a "golden dragon" auspicious omen, and it is estimated that she will be blessed in the future.
Leaving the palace, Bao Zheng and the eighth prince immediately went to prepare for the celebration, and the date for the envoys and officials from various countries to enter the Kaifeng Mansion is estimated to be advanced, and there are a lot of things to be busy with.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed up to investigate the case of the fire dragon and the fire phoenix.
Out of the palace, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked to Dongjiazhuang in the west of the imperial city, and halfway through, they met Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, who were talking while walking.
Xiao Liang, who followed behind the two, first asked about the situation of the little fourth son.
Zhan Zhao told him that the fourth son was left in the palace by the Queen Mother, and he would return to Kaifeng with Zhao Pu Gongsun in the evening.
Xiao Liang looked a little disappointed, "Jin'er won't come back until the evening." ” Zhan Zhao poked Xiao Liang and pointed to Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo who were pinching while walking, "What are they doing?"
"Lin turkey sneaked out, mysterious and mysterious, and was caught by Zou Liang."
Xiao Liang spread his hands, "So I also followed, and the turkey said that he was going to Dongjiazhuang, saying that you might have missed something." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and what was missing, Lin Yehuo really knew something
