When he heard the word "family affairs", Wu Liang immediately reminded him of his previous speculation.

Could it be that the witch Hu is really related to the thirteenth son Lu Zuo, who was exiled to Japan by Jiang Taigong?

Otherwise, a Japanese witch had no reason to show such interest in the tomb of Qi Kanggong, and there was no motivation to venture up the mountain alone late at night to find Qi Kang cemetery.

“Summary.”

However, facing the witch Hu's sincere gaze, Wu Liang no longer wanted to trust her easily, but just signaled without knowing whether it was possible.

"At this point, if I don't tell you about this, Mr. Wu may not have taught me to return to Japan safely with the Japanese mission?"

Although we have not been together for a long time, the witch Hu has already had a clear understanding of Wu Liang's character and smiled bitterly.

“That’s right.”

Wu Liang nodded no longer hiding it and nodded expressionlessly.

"Since that's the case, I don't want to say it, and I have to say it."

The witch sighed helplessly, looked at the bones cleaned from the linen cloth, and finally said, "I'm not hiding it from Taishi Wu, although I was born in Japan, I actually had the blood of the Jiang surname Lu. I am a descendant of the Jiang surname Lu... Even if Taishi Wu is knowledgeable, I feel incredible when I hear this, right? The root of this matter starts with some secrets from the era of Taigong Jiang."

"Lu Zuo?"

After hearing this, Wu Liang knew that his previous guess was probably correct, so he subconsciously said the name.

“?!”

The witch trembled and was stunned on the spot, looking at Wu Liang in shock.

She thought that it would be Wu Liang who was incredible when she heard this, but she didn't expect that Wu Liang not only did not show too much surprise, but instead killed her as soon as she spoke.

But how is this possible?

The witch Hu was once again frightened by Wu Liang. This young man who seemed to have no experience seemed to have many experiences in his heart, but he seemed to have the stars and sea of ​​stars and all things in the world. There seemed to be nothing in the world that he didn't know, even if it was a family secret history that she thought was impossible for anyone to know in the world.

After forcibly calming the spirit, the witch called for as much as possible to make her perform calmly, and then asked, "How could Taishi Wu know this name?"

"Is this name very obscure?"

Wu Liang did not answer the question.

"Yes, after something happened, this name had been removed by the Jiang surname Lu, and all the historical books related to it were also destroyed or hidden. Therefore, even descendants of the Jiang surname Lu may not know it, and Wu Taishi has no reason to know it."

The witch raised her head and still looked at Wu Liang with disbelief.

"Maybe it has not been completely removed, I saw this name in a nearly lost historical book of Qi State."

Wu Liang said.

The witch Hu seemed to want to ask about the details, but seeing that Wu Liang was impatient when he didn't plan to tell her in detail, he had to swallow the words he said, and asked, "Then Wu Taishi should also have some understanding of this person's identity and what he had done before?"

"What is recorded in historical books may not be the truth. Even if the same thing is told from people with different positions, some changes will occur."

Wu Liang also took the initiative and made a gesture of invitation and said, "So please don't have to tell a long story. Just tell everything you know. I also have the patience and time to listen to this story... Hu Girl, before this, I have to solemnly remind you that this is the last chance I have given you, don't continue to challenge my patience."

"I see."

The witch Hu nodded slightly and finally officially began her own story. "Since Wu Taishi knows the name of Lu Zuo, he should also know that this person is actually the thirteenth son of Jiang Taigong Lu Shang. He actually has another identity, that is, the most talented scholar (male witch) in that generation...and I am the bloodline he left in Japan."

"When Jiang Taigong helped the Zhou emperor defeat Zhou Shang, Zhou emperor gave him Qi land when the Zhou Dynasty was established. Jiang Taigong followed the will of heaven to establish Qi, and later passed the throne to his eldest son Lu Ji."

"Later, Lu Ji followed Jiang Taigong to Haojing to assist the Zuo Emperor, and taught his third son Lu Yin to guard the Qi State. Lu Yin believed that Wu Taishi was not unfamiliar with him. In your country, he was always called Qiu Mugong and was also a talented scholar. However, compared with my ancestor Lu Zuo, he was still a little worse."

"During this process, the ancestor Lu Zuo recommended himself to Jiang Taigong many times, willing to use his ability to defend Qi and lead his army to quell the rebellion of the Dongyi tribes at that time. Unfortunately, Jiang Taigong thought that he was still young and unstable, so he never agreed. Later, especially when Qi Ding Gong Lu Ji also handed over the important task of guarding Qi to Qiu Mugong Lu Yin, the ancestor Lu Zuo developed resentment towards them."

"So in order to get the recognition of Jiang Taigong and to prove that he is stronger than Lu Yin, the ancestor Lu Zuo secretly planned some things against Lu Yin. However, he did not expect that Lu Yin had the magic weapon left by Jiang Taigong in his hand, and used the magic weapon to use the trick of disaster to Dongyin, which caused the magic of ancestor Lu Zuo to accidentally hurt several other brothers."

"This incident reached Jiang Taigong's ears, and Jiang Taigong was furious. He immediately took a fast horse from Haojing to Yingqiu and personally dealt with his ancestor Lu Yin. In fact, the magic of his ancestor Lu Yin was above Jiang Taigong at that time, but facing his biological father, how could his ancestor Lu Yin resist? He had to surrender."

"Afterwards, the ancestor Lu Yin wanted to explain this to Jiang Taigong, but Jiang Taigong was already extremely disappointed with him. After locking him in a cell, he stopped meeting again. After waiting for a few days, Jiang Taigong decided to expel him from the Jiang surname Lu, and ordered people to tie him up on a boat and exiled him to Japan. He would never return to Qi... It was also at this time that his ancestor Lu Zuo realized that several brothers who were accidentally injured by him had died, and even Jiang Taigong came back in person and never saved their lives."

"Since then, his ancestor Lu Zuo was completely disappointed. He killed his brothers and was an unforgivable sinner of the family and would never be forgiven by his father and his clan members."

"He understood Jiang Taigong's decision, stopped defending himself, and obediently boarded the boat and went to Japan, and never came back again."

"This incident is a regret for our ancestors' lives and a regret for our inheritance to this day."

Speaking of this, the witch Hu paused for a moment before then looking at Wu Liang and continued, "Taishi Wu, these people should not be mentioned again, and I am not very persistent in this matter. However, when I was in Zuzhou, I heard that Wu and Zushen mentioned that the ancestors of the royal family might have been hidden on Yuzhou Mountain. My mind started to move. If I had the opportunity, I should naturally try my best to make up for the regrets of my ancestors, so I went up the mountain to search for it privately."

"In addition, when I was preaching the message to the ancestor god in Zuzhou, I did hide something. At that time, the ancestor god had actually explained the specific location of Qikang Cemetery. However, for these selfish intentions, I deliberately did not explain it to Wu Taishi. After the ancestor god knew my thoughts, he also accused me of hiding it."

"It is also because of this that I was able to accurately find the location of Qikang Cemetery."

...

“…”

The story of the witch Hu made Wu Liang and the others in deep thoughts.

In fact, if you compare the secret stories told by the witch Hu with the records in "The Biography of Mu Gong", you will find that all nodes and events can be matched, and it can naturally be confirmed that the witch Hu did not lie again this time.

As for some of the different details.

It is just an inevitable difference that occurs from the perspective of Lu Yin and Lu Zuo. Not to mention two people with different positions, even two people with the same position will appear when describing the same thing.

And as far as Wu Liang knows, human memory usually comes with filters to beautify itself. When everyone recalls what happened, even if they do not deliberately beautify themselves, they will find a self-consistent reason for all their behaviors and use this reason to deceive themselves.

Just like the difference in this historical fact:

In "The Biography of Mu Gong", although Lu Zuo is gifted, he is a man of injustice. In order to fight for power and throne, he does not hesitate to hurt his brothers, which is absolutely unforgivable. However, Lu Yin, the Duke of Mu, was kind-hearted and was a hero who stopped Lu Zuo as a hero who harmed his tribe;

In the description of the witch Hu, Lu Zuo was just young and energetic. He was dissatisfied because he was extremely talented but could not be valued. The death of his brothers was not entirely his fault. Lu Yin, the Duke of Qiu Mu, who used the magic weapon "Disaster Shui East", should also bear at least half of the responsibility. At the same time, he was still voluntarily captured, and was exiled to Japan voluntarily, in order to forgive his crimes.

Said that.

In fact, this is basically the same thing. The records in "The Biography of Mu Gong" are facts, and the description of the witch is also facts. It is just that it judges the matter from the perspective of different people.

At this point, Wu Liang naturally would not continue to focus on this matter.

After pondering for a while, he asked the witch again: "You haven't explained yet, what are you looking for this time?"

"The ancestor god told me that at that time, there was only one bronze book left in the royal family of Lu Qi, and the bronze book that Lu Dao served on Yuzhou Mountain."

The witch replied, "The bronze book is not a treasure, but a genealogy of the Lu family. It records the descendants of the Lu family who rose from Jiang Taigong. I want to find this bronze tree and fill in the name of my ancestors again."

"There are no bronze books here."

Wu Liang glanced at the bones and relics placed on the linen cloth with his own hands and said tentatively.

"Because the ancestor god told me that the bronze book was not buried with Lu Dao."

The witch shouted, "When the ancestor of the ancestor of the ancestor climbed Yuzhou Mountain for the last time, Lu Dao was buried in this place. His family book and descendants were gone. The ancestor of the ancestor of the ancestor then saw the bronze book when he packed up Lu Dao's relics, and buried it next to Lu Dao's tomb and planted a cypress on it, which was this thousand-year-old cypress."

"You mean, the bronze book is under the tree?"

Wu Liang suddenly felt energetic.

To be precise, it should be in the roots of the tree. After all, after so many years, the roots have grown to such a scale, so naturally they have wrapped the bronze books. Now that I want to find the bronze books, I am afraid that the roots must be cut open.

Thinking of this question, Wu Liang glanced at the witch again.

This girl looks quite smart. How can she do such stupid things? She wouldn't think that with her own strength alone, she could cut open the huge rhizome and take out the bronze book without disturbing any soldiers?

Isn't this a fool?

“That’s right.”

The witch nodded, then felt the doubt in Wu Liang's eyes keenly, and then said, "Taishi Wu doesn't have to look at me like this. If you say this can make you happy, I admit that this is indeed not something that I, a woman, can do. Therefore, when I dug out one of the roots one hour ago, I began to regret it. At that time, I wanted to go back and ask you for help, but I couldn't think of how to explain to you what I had previously concealed some information, so I didn't know how to ask you for help and didn't dare to go back."

“…”

Wu Liang was a little amused and crying when he heard this.

At the same time, he had some strange feelings for the witch. This girl was always able to guess his thoughts accurately through some of his extremely subtle expressions and expressions, just like a roundworm in his belly.

Wu Liang had to wonder if this girl had the ability to read the mind similar to "mind reading skills".

After all, it is important to understand that many people in the Jae Ren Army have been following him for a long time, and the backbone of the Jae Ren Army is close to him. Even if the gender is correct, some negative distance contact will occur.

But even Bai Jingjing and Zhen Mi have not reached the level of being able to guess the complicated thoughts in his heart with just one look.

“Kukukuku…”

When the people from the Clan Army heard this, many people couldn't help but shrugging their shoulders and laughed. At this moment, they felt that the witch was a little cute and stupid.

Especially compared with the soldiers of the Jade Army, they had very little contact with the witch Hu. While they felt that she was very mysterious, they actually had a little resistance and hostility towards this alien.

But these words made the image of the witch girl cry a lot, like a girl next door.

"Ahem!"

Wu Liang felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and immediately coughed twice to stop the strange laughter behind him, and then he said to the witch with a stern face: "Let's record this matter for now, but even if you find that bronze book, it is a treasure belonging to our country. As the Grand Historian, I must not allow you to write and scratch the treasures in our country to destroy antiques. Therefore, it is better to put away the idea of ​​filling in the name of your ancestors. Do you understand?"

After saying that.

Wu Liang, regardless of whether the witch shouted or not, turned around and ordered loudly: "Brothers, come on for a little longer, cut open the roots of the tree as soon as possible to find the bronze book!"

"promise!"

The members of the Clan Army responded in unison and soon started working.

Wu Liang called the witch aside, and still looked sternly and said, "You are a descendant of Lu Zuo, and Lu Zuo's magic was already above Jiang Taigong. So I believe your lineage has also inherited many records of the internal magic of the Lu clan passed down by Lu Zuo?"

Wu Liang did not covet Lu's magic.

But after the witch Hu Tan revealed her identity, she suddenly remembered some of the discoveries in Qi Ai Cemetery and Qiu Mu Cemetery: such as the wooden armor found in Qi Ai Cemetery, the mysterious powder in the wooden armor used to replace the five internal organs, and the two red beads left after the insect giant was defeated...
